America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 118 Facing Environmentalists Blocking the Road

"Sufeier, congratulations."

Driving past the George Washington Bridge, the more Li Xiaoen drove the car, the more surprised he felt. He turned to look at Sufei, who was silently looking at the road ahead with a gloomy face, and teased.

"I'm going to take the Garden State Parkway, which passes through New Jersey's forests and lakes. You can enjoy beautiful scenery along the way."

"If you want to drive this new car longer, just say so. Don't act so righteously and say it's all for me."

Su Feier mercilessly exposed Li Xiaoen's words and sneered, "I find that you really are always teasing women. Could it be that this makes you feel very accomplished?"

As she spoke, her eyes moved downwards, looking at Li Xiaoen's waist. "According to Abnormal Psychology, your frequent teasing of women may be a form of paraphilia, manifesting as a desire to release and satisfy sexual desire by teasing women..."

"Etc., etc……"

Before Su Feier could finish, Li Xiaoen quickly raised his hand and explained with a mixture of laughter and tears, "I was just joking. I haven't made any girls angry yet, have I?"

Noticing that Sufeier's eyes narrowed slightly, Li Xiaoen was stunned. "Is there any girl who is really angry?"

Sufeil did not respond to this and silently looked away.

"Have a little humor, why take it so seriously?"

No answer means no. Li Xiaoen shook his head helplessly and looked back ahead, muttering, "Besides, don't you know whether I have any problems there?"

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the car suddenly changed. Li Xiaoen finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but slow down his movements.

Since that unhappy night, the two have never had sex again. Now when they talk about this, they naturally think of that unpleasant period.

"There aren't many cars here, and the scenery is great. Let's take down the canopy."

Sufeier stared out the window and spoke softly.

"it is good."

Li Xiaoen nodded in agreement, slowed down the car, and pressed the switch to move the roof back.

As soon as a hole appeared in the roof, a cool breeze came in and quickly enveloped the two of them, which also happened to soothe their already hot bodies.

There are stretches of lush green forests on both sides of the road. There are few cars on the highway and they are quite far apart. The air blowing on your face has a slightly fresh smell.

The strong wind blew his hair into a mess. Facing the gentle sunlight shining from the sky, feeling half of his body directly in contact with the outside world, and the sense of freedom after breaking free from the shackles, Li Xiaoen, who was driving a convertible sports car for the first time, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Feier pushed the hair that was blown in front of her back and her attention was attracted by the young man beside her. Looking at the faint smile on Li Xiaoen's face, the corners of her mouth also curled up slightly.

Handsome looks, intelligence, and versatility are secondary. What always attracts her attention to the young man is his free and unrestrained attitude towards life.

After getting off the highway, there is a nearly 17-mile scenic highway that passes through the countryside, forests and small towns in central New Jersey. As soon as Li Xiaoen slowed down, the system's transparent screen appeared in front of him.

[Gambling Agreement]

[Drive the car close to the solid line on the side of the road and drive to 10 miles]

【Whether to accept? 】

This is the first advanced learning card, which focuses on learning for five years.

Li Xiaoen took the time to glance at the reward subtitle on the screen. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He quickly came to his senses and slowly moved the car to the side of the road until he confirmed the position in the vehicle manual. Only then did he feel relieved.

accept!

The car that was originally driving in the middle of the road moved to the side. Sufeil looked sideways unexpectedly and saw that Li Xiaoen was no longer relaxed and leisurely. He was unusually meticulous and stared at the road ahead seriously. He couldn't help but frowned in confusion.

She looked at the road ahead, then turned to look at Li Xiaoen several times before she finally realized what was going on.

"Sean, what's that stupid little game of yours you're playing again? Driving right on the line beside the highway?"

"Not really. I just get to practice my driving skills."

Li Xiaoen murmured, "Besides, on a two-way, two-lane highway like this, isn't it normal and advisable to drive by the side of the road?"

"I'm American, how come I don't know this rule?"

Su Feier was a little confused when he heard this. Seeing Li Xiaoen's serious expression, he couldn't help but sneer, "Just play, are you afraid of others laughing at you?"

It’s not that I’m afraid of being laughed at by others, but I’m afraid of being disturbed. Baibai’s prop cards are gone.

Li Xiaoen complained in his heart, but shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, I admit it. It's not that I'm afraid of you laughing, it's just..."

"Pfft..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Sufeier laugh out loud. Li Xiaoen had no choice but to give up explaining and simply said:
"Sufeil, will you help me?"

"..."

Sufeier frowned in confusion, "How can I help you with this kind of game?"

As she spoke, she recalled the scene during the freshman orientation activity when Li Xiaoen carried Victoria on his back, and Victoria leaned tightly against his back, using her thin coat to shield him from the sun.

After just one look, she couldn't bear it any longer, so she quickened her pace and walked to the front.

"Um……"

Li Xiaoen chose his words carefully, "Just don't bother me."

"You mean, I've been bothering you so often?!"

Sufeier's brows furrowed, his eyes becoming dangerous. "Do you believe me, I'm going to break your steering wheel right now?"

"That's not what I meant. You've been misunderstood. Don't get excited."

Li Xiaoen hurriedly explained, glancing sideways. Seeing Sufeier staring at him with a gloomy expression, he couldn't help but explain in a gentle voice, "The main thing is, you can't help me with this challenge. I can only rely on myself, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few people in green clothes blocking the way ahead. Li Xiaoen quickly stepped on the brakes and slowly stopped the car not far in front of them.

Looking closely, I saw a few young people who looked like students in front of the car. They were wearing old T-shirts with the words "There Is No Planet B" printed on them, and their faces were painted with unknown paint to look like the earth or green leaves with water droplets. Perhaps because the quality was too poor, the paint was unevenly applied and dripping down with their sweat.

The most obvious thing is the signs they hold in their hands, which immediately highlight their purpose and identity.

"STOP FOSSIL FUELS NOW"

“Climate Justice = Racial Justice”

"..."

No, I'm driving my new car, and I almost got pulled over by an American-style stop at the store. And now I'm being blocked by environmentalists. Isn't today's Americana a bit too much? Li Xiaoen was at a loss for words when he suddenly saw Sufeier get out of the car and quickly walk over to the young men.

"I'll give you two minutes, get out of here now!"

As soon as he opened the door, Li Xiaoen heard Sufei's cold voice.

"We can retreat, there is enough safe area on the roadside, but can the earth retreat?"

Seeing Sufei approaching and scolding, a black girl with dyed blond hair immediately stood up from the ground and shook the sign in her hands vigorously, "Earth has no way to retreat. We only have one planet to survive on!"

"Reduce the burning of fossil fuels, say no to cars, and reduce pollution. We must start with every little thing we do in our daily lives!"

"The countdown is over."

Ignoring the other party's shouting, Sufeil sneered, took out his cell phone, dialed and put it to his ear.

"They are recklessly burning fossil fuels to pollute the air, and despite our warnings and reminders, they remain unrepentant."

A young man on the side couldn't sit still anymore and quickly came over. "Even if you call the police to disperse us, it won't change the fact that you are the real culprit who destroyed the earth!"

All of a sudden, all the people who were originally sitting there gathered together and started arguing with each other, adding a noisy and lively atmosphere to the quiet and peaceful country road.

“It was too slow to call the police.”

Sufeier glanced over with a cold look in his eyes, "I'm calling the security company over."

"If you hurt us, we can sue you!" Several people shouted when they saw this.

In response to the accusations of several environmentalists, Sufir nodded nonchalantly: "Go ahead and sue me. My lawyer will talk to you slowly."

As soon as these words were spoken, several environmentalists fell silent at the same time. Li Xiaoen, who was standing behind them, could not help but look on in surprise.

Is this Sufir's method?

In contrast, he was verbally threatened by her before, so as long as he agreed to help with a few things within his ability, he was actually considered gentle.

But, it is clearly in compliance with regulations and laws, so why does he look like a villain?

Li Xiaoen felt strange. Seeing the young men behind him looking at each other, strange meanings gradually emerged in their eyes. Sufei took a step back, looking ready for battle. Then he hurried forward and stood between the two confronting parties.

"Let's talk it over. Today is the weekend, let's not ruin each other's good mood, okay?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, then they relaxed a little, and the tense atmosphere eased.

Su Feier pulled Li Xiaoen's arm in dissatisfaction, frowned and whispered, "You will make them even more arrogant."

"Don't get into physical fights, that will only cause us more trouble."

Li Xiaoen explained helplessly, and the black girl next to him felt more confident when she saw this. She took two steps closer to pursue her.

"Trouble? You rich people only see your own interests. When will you see the interests of the earth? Considering the trouble you have caused to the earth?"

"Don't you know that hair dye also pollutes the environment?"

Li Xiaoen took a deep breath and slowly turned to look at the black woman. Just one sentence made her freeze in her tracks. "You dyed your hair yellow, yet you righteously stopped someone driving and shouted about environmentalism. Don't you think your behavior is ridiculous?"

While the others were stunned and staring blankly at the black woman, Li Xiaoen simply expressed his doubts, looked around at everyone and said with a smile:

"A person who shares your ideals is polluting the environment right under your noses. Did you not notice, or did you still treat her as a companion even though you knew it?"

"If you didn't notice, then your environmental expertise is still very low. If you knowingly committed the crime, then your environmentalism bottom line is double-standard and flexible. Either way, you have no right to block the road and hinder traffic, shouting your so-called environmentalism."

“I dyed my hair before I joined the environmental organization!”

The black woman quickly retorted, "I will never dye my hair again. Our companions all know this!"

As she spoke, she looked confidently at her companions, receiving unanimous nods of approval from them.

"The roots of your hair are all yellow. If you're lying, could you please find a reliable excuse?"

Li Xiaoen scoffed at this and nodded indifferently, "Okay, let's just assume that you just dyed your hair yesterday and joined this organization, and now you're here to block our way."

As the faces of several people gradually became gloomy, Li Xiaoen looked at the black woman meaningfully and said:

"I'm curious, how could a Black person like you care so much about environmental protection? Even if you knew that dyeing your hair pollutes the environment, you still chose to go against your usual lifestyle and join this organization. What's your motivation?"

Traditionally, the mainstream environmental movement in the United States is dominated by white people and the middle class, with a relatively low proportion of black people. In order to strike back at the other party, Li Xiaoen still acquiesced and looked at the black woman meaningfully.

"As a black man, you did this to gain the favor of those white people and integrate into their circle?"

"enough!"

Seeing the black girl lower her head and remain silent, the white man behind her shouted, "It's a race issue. What right do you, an Asian, have to say that about black people?"

"I'm just stating my guess. As for whether it hurts you or not, you know it in your hearts. Besides..."

Li Xiaoen shrugged nonchalantly, watching the mischievous looks of several people, he put his arm around Sufei's slender waist and gestured back to his Maserati.

"Racial issues are a problem in America. I never take them to heart. I only care about my own personal interests and advancement."

Su Feil stared blankly at the beautiful girl who was obviously from a wealthy white family. She did not break free from Li Xiaoen's hand, but rolled her eyes. Several young white men could not help but look back at the brand new Maserati. Their hands holding the sign began to exert force involuntarily, and their eyes suddenly turned red.

"Just stand here and take your time."

Li Xiaoen waved his hand, put his arm around Sufei's waist and sat back in the car. He adjusted the roof again to completely cover it.

"Oh, I remember what you look like. I just bought this new car, and if you scratch it a little, you'll have to pay compensation and be fined. I'll sue your environmental protection organization, and then forget about any activities you can do."

Before closing the roof, Li Xiaoen said to the group.

"Is this your method?"

After the roof was completely closed, Sufeier looked at Li Xiaoen helplessly, "You're showing off and saying it's comfortable, but isn't the problem still solved?"

Sure enough, this young man from China was extremely restrained in using force and violence.

Sufeil couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was born into a traditional white upper-class family in the United States, and was naturally deeply influenced by the traditional consciousness of this country. She always believed that compared to winning the other party with words and showing off her eloquence, it is more direct and efficient to knock down or even convince the other party.

At this moment, Li Xiaoen's words made her stunned.

"Sufeier, what are you standing there for? Call the police now, or get the security company to come."
