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

Chapter 5 Friendship
"Here, here's your tip."

After walking out of the yard, Li Xiaoen noticed the middle-aged man's eager gaze, rolled his eyes, and handed over the hundred-dollar bill.

"so much?"

The man exclaimed, reached out and quickly took the banknote in his hand, carefully examining the lines on it, as if trying to determine whether the banknote was real or fake.

"Why is this money wrinkled? Has it just been crumpled?"

You must have taken the dough, do you want me to take it?
Li Xiaoen felt amused, but he tried to control his expression and frowned slightly.

"Dude, you don't know. I went in to deliver the uniforms, and they inspected them right there, finding fault with them. I tried my best to explain, serve tea, put on a smile, and do hard work to help you get such a big tip."

"No, you still have to pay me thirty dollars."

After saying that, Li Xiaoen extended his hand to the man.

"Hey……"

The middle-aged man reacted immediately, and without caring whether Li Xiaoen's words were true or not, he quickly waved his hands and said, "You said at the time that you didn't want any compensation..."

After saying that, the man quickly got into the old pickup truck that came and disappeared in a flash.

"Redneck..."

Li Xiaoen shook his head with a sneer, not caring at all. He got in the car and drove back to the school.

When the car stopped at the outdoor parking lot near the dormitory, Li Xiaoen took out his cell phone and looked at it out of habit.

On the food delivery app, the latest customer order received the lowest rating.

This rude woman!

Li Xiaoen took a deep breath and called the customer service number directly to complain about the other party's rude and arrogant behavior.

Unfortunately, his complaint did not have any impact on the other customer. Instead, because the other customer was a high-quality customer, he received explanations and guidance from the customer service.

No matter what, just wait there or call customer service and have it sent back.

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but laugh as he thought about the advice the customer service took so long to come up with.

Damn capitalism.

Cursing inwardly, Li Xiaoen locked the car and walked towards the two-story cabin with a ash tree next to it.

That was his dormitory. Maybe it was luck, or maybe he arrived early, but he was assigned to one of the rare traditional double-room dorms on campus. His roommate was a young white man who lived on the West Coast and majored in civil and environmental engineering.

Speaking of which, there are more than one Chinese international students in this class. This is probably because the school wants students from different backgrounds and majors to communicate with each other and become one.

When he opened the door, Li Xiaoen saw Daniel sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.

He was holding a large bag of potato chips, sitting on the sofa with his legs curled up, watching TV.

The shoes were not taken off.

After all, the other person is someone who can lie on the bed with his shoes on. Li Xiaoen has long been numb to this - as long as he doesn't ruin his single sofa.

"Hey, Sean, you're finally back."

Daniel looked back and laughed in surprise, "How much did you earn today?"

"Less than a hundred."

Li Xiaoen answered casually, took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator and sat down on the single sofa.

He delivered a few orders in the morning, and then Gu Menghua's arrival delayed him for some time. If he hadn't taken the initiative to ask the woman for a tip, he probably wouldn't have even received fifty.

Fortunately, because Gu Menghua won the bet, he can at least get the hourly wage of the minimum wage here for free.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoen took out his mobile phone and checked again. Seeing the details, more than ten US dollars were deposited into his account every hour. Only then did he finally relax.

As for the source of the bank card funds, it goes without saying: safe, pollution-free, and harmless. "Are you free after the orientation tomorrow? How about going to a social gathering together?" Daniel didn't ask any further questions, handing over the bag of potato chips.

"Social gathering, is it with girls?"

Li Xiaoen put his arm into the big bag, submerging his entire forearm before touching the potato chips, and took out two pieces.

In America, many products tend to be packaged in large sizes, often enough for several people in a family. Li Xiaoen was a little uncomfortable at first, and gave up a lot of things for fear of waste.

"It must be with a girl."

Daniel rolled his eyes and leaned back on the sofa with his potato chips. "Why bother going on a fuss with boys? Just say hello when you meet and chat for a few minutes and you'll be familiar with each other."

Hmm...it seems so.

Li Xiaoen came to his senses and nodded in agreement, "Do you have photos of those female classmates? If there aren't any pretty ones, I won't go."

"Well, anyone with a good figure is also fine."

"Ha~~"

Daniel showed a lewd smile and pointed at Li Xiaoen, "You are quite picky, boy."

After that, he threw the bag of potato chips aside, turned over and took an iPad from the other end of the sofa, sliding his fingers across it, "Come on, take a look and see if there's anything you like."

Li Xiaoen took his eyes off the potato chips that fell on the sofa and sat on the armrest of the sofa with a Coke in his hand.

It was obviously a picture on Instagram, and Daniel kept sliding his fingers across it.

"Are they all freshmen from our class?"

After looking at a few pictures in a row, Li Xiaoen asked curiously.

"of course."

Daniel used two fingers to trace the breasts of the two girls in the photo, which expanded and contracted. "It's easier to get along with freshmen from our class, but it's harder to get along with seniors. We can't handle them."

Seeing Li Xiaoen's indifferent reaction, Daniel couldn't help but be curious, "Don't you like these two girls?"

"It's pleasing to the eye, but not to the point of liking it."

Li Xiaoen shrugged honestly and took a sip of Coke.

To be honest, the two girls in the photo can be said to be quite pretty, but Li Xiaoen, who has seen "Cang Hai", feels that it is still not enough.

Not to mention Gu Menghua, who I just met yesterday, even the female clerk in the Japanese sushi restaurant can't compare to her.

Oh, and there was that rude woman named Sufeil in the rich white community last night.

It has to be said that although the other party was very rude and arrogant, Li Xiaoen still admitted in his heart that she was the most beautiful girl of the same age he had ever seen.

"You kid, right?"

Daniel had no idea what was going on in Li Xiaoen's mind and looked at him with a strange expression.

He naturally knew that in terms of sexual attractiveness, Asian men were at the bottom of the list. Although he had to admit that Li Xiaoen in front of him was much more attractive than him in appearance and had a confident and unrestrained temperament, he still regarded Li Xiaoen's reaction at this time as a lack of confidence.

"Don't worry, there are Chinese people here."

A trace of confusion flashed across Daniel's face, and he simply switched the interface to another account and clicked on the photo.

The two young girls in the photo have yellow-dark skin, slender eyebrows, thick lips, dark eye sockets, and are smiling brightly with their mouths wide open and teeth showing.

"ABC?"

Under Daniel's gaze, Li Xiaoen's face darkened and he sat back on the sofa. "Then I still prefer the two white girls in front."
