Jade is not jade

After dawn, Wang Min and Yu Nian went shopping in a nearby supermarket according to the address they had just searched online, and bought some food they usually eat.Neither of them can cook, so they only bought some ready-to-eat food, drinks and fruits.

In the early days in the UK, because there was still a habit of domestic consumption, every time I saw the price, I would convert it into RMB value.

A sandwich is 3.99 pounds, which is equivalent to 42 yuan a piece, expensive!

Freshly baked quick-frozen pizza, 2.99 pounds, 31 yuan a big, cheap.

Strawberries, a small box, 2.49 pounds, 26 yuan, expensive.

Fresh milk, 1 liter, 1.49 pounds, 15 yuan, cheap...

Three apples are 1.99 pounds, 21 yuan, expensive.

A cucumber is 0.99 pounds, 10 yuan, so expensive...

After paying the bill, Yu Nian asked Wang Min how much it cost, and Wang Min said, "About 100 pounds."

Yu Nian: "Dizzy..."

It cost more than 1000 yuan to buy some necessary daily necessities and food. Even Wang Min, who hardly reads the price when shopping, was a little shocked at the moment.

At noon, they studied how to use the oven. The two baked a pizza and ate it. They poured 3.99 pounds of juice per liter into the newly bought cups. Wang Min and Yu Nian toasted: "Come on, the first meal that I solved myself!"

Yu Nian: "I wish us all the best!"

Smiling and taking a sip, "Ah, this juice is really good!" Wang Min praised.

Yu Nian: "Fresh squeezed for 42 yuan a liter, look, it says fresh...it must be better than the 3 yuan bottle of 'Unified Fresh Orange'."

Wang Min: "It's also..."

The knives, forks and spoons were just bought. The two of them also bought chopsticks in the supermarket, but they could only buy them in dozens, so they bought twelve pairs at once. They even joked that they could take them home as gifts, saying they were chopsticks bought in London. .

After cutting the pizza, just about to start eating, Wang Min suddenly said, "Wait for me to take a picture!"

Yu Nian: "?"

Wang Min explained embarrassingly: "Show Xiao Long."

Yu Nian: "..."

In the evening, the senior invited me to dinner, and it was an authentic British meal.

The main food is mashed potatoes and grilled steak, poured with gravy, in addition to the juice, there is a taste of Chinese food, the rest is not worth mentioning at all, the vegetable soup feels like the taste of salt after the vegetables are boiled in water, the side dish is Fried potatoes and tomato slices, lettuce...

"Both of you haven't tried English breakfast yet. I know a restaurant that makes hash browns and sausage is very good. It tastes amazing when paired with pure black tea~! I'll invite you to try it some other day..." Luo Heng He introduced enthusiastically while eating.

Yu Nian and Wang Min were already full of greasy stomachs... At night, both of them felt empty in their stomachs, as if they hadn't eaten much all day.

Sure enough, people are iron and "rice" is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry!

The school started a few days later, and the school's courses were not as intense as expected, and it could even be said to be a little leisurely.

There are only four lectures per week, one hour and thirty minutes per day, one meeting with the tutor once a week, and three days off...Maybe the exchange is just for students to experience life?

The lecture will communicate with the students according to the lecturer's own choice of topics. Generally, the class will mention what happened in the financial world in the recent period. The lecturer collects classic cases as discussion topics, and students can also bring their own questions in their spare time to the class. Discussing with many people is very free, and it is easy to learn from such interactions.

After all, they are excellent students who have been selected from thousands of people. Except for the first lecture in English, which made them lag behind in understanding, there is nothing wrong with them.

For the two new exchange students, the students of the same major did not show strong curiosity or special behavior.This made it easier for both of them.

Occasionally after class, foreign students naturally ask where they are from and welcome them, and the rest are gone.

Neither Wang Min nor Yu Nian seemed to be that good at communicating with people.At this moment, Wang Min was a little envious of others, such as Wang Rui, or Xiao Long. If Xiao Long was here, no matter how good his English was, he would quickly get along with others... In fact, I still hope that I can be like them.

Since foreign college students do not live in groups like Chinese college students in their private lives, and their entertainment activities often take place at night, Wang Min and Yu Nian seem to have nothing to do after class.

The two of them will not stay in the dormitory every day or get tired of being together like girls.

Wang Min likes to go out alone, take a bus in London to travel around the city casually, shuttle in those old neighborhoods, shuttle in the narrow stone paths, inadvertently, there is a lush royal park in front of him.

Although it is also a financial center, it is not like Shanghai with skyscrapers everywhere.

Although the prices are extremely high, there are the most free museums in the world. From the British Museum to the Victoria and Albert Gallery, Wang Min will look carefully at every place.

Although there are not many classes in the exchange semester, this city is a huge treasure that can be excavated.Sometimes, people get knowledge not only from classrooms and books.

Day after day, these days are full and free, the only regret is that Xiao Long is not by his side.

Wang Min is already used to the feeling of being with Xiao Long. Sometimes when he sees the peerless treasures in the museum, the exquisite scenery on the street corner, or the white clouds floating in the sky, he will habitually turn his head to the side, smile and say to "him" "Little, look quickly"...

But he is not there.Therefore, you can only use your brain and body to remember these scenes.

I hope that next time, I can come to this place with him, so that he can experience the touch he once experienced again.

Yu Nian seems to have gradually integrated into the social circle of Chinese students.

A boy with an outstanding appearance like him is easy to be popular among foreign students.Luo Heng just introduced him a little, and everyone accepted him, and they were willing to invite Yu Nian to attend various occasions and activities.

Chinese students who can study in London must have good economic conditions if they are not capable.

Yu Nian went out to eat with a few new friends a few times, but he was always invited more by others, and paid less by himself.

Once, a girl studying accounting invited him to visit the city in the name of group play, but Yu Nianqian and later found that there were only the two of them.

The girl didn't make it clear, but only used a playful expression and an ambiguous tone to express that she wanted to create a chance for Yu Nian to be alone with herself, and successfully blocked all of Yu Nian's retreats.

So Yu Nian "accompanied" her to go shopping for a long time. During this half day, he "bought" a lot of things without spending a penny. The girl chose clothes for him and invited him to dinner. Chance to hesitate.

On the way back, she held Yu Nian's arm, but Yu Nian couldn't push him away. He was still struggling whether he should return all the money for these things to him.I always thought that when boys and girls go out together, they always have to pay for the boys. I never thought that one day I would want to make up for it from other places because of the retreat in money.

Before parting, the girl smiled and said, "I wish I had a boyfriend who is as handsome as you."

Yu Nian: "..."

what does she mean?Hinting that she likes me?But why do I want to have a boyfriend who is as handsome as me, and what she likes is "someone who is as handsome as me but not me", or me?

She bought me a lot of things, but she doesn't want to accept them, should I return them?She is a girl and doesn't wear boys' clothes, so it's not appropriate to give something to someone else, right?

So, do you want to pay back the money... (==) It's so expensive!

What if she really confessed to me?Yes because of these gifts?Why do you feel like selling yourself... Looking for an excuse to refuse?What kind of excuse can I use?

……

Yu Nian was very conflicted.

In the past, there were more or less girls who confessed to him, maybe he didn't understand the style, and he didn't know that other people had a crush on him, so occasionally when someone confessed to him, he just felt awkward and easily refused.

But today, that girl gave such an expensive gift not long after I met her, and her attitude was so ambiguous that one had to doubt her intentions.

Speaking of which, besides her, the person who gave me an ambiguous feeling was actually Yang Jiayue...

But, but the ambiguity between boys should be regarded as friendship, right? (…)

If so, what about the relationship between Wang Min and Xiao Long?Ah, the two of them are more than ambiguous, they were both caught kissing by me~ Damn!

Going around and turning into a knot, Yu Nian sighed, can he say that he has finally grown up?

——Before I knew it, I became so sensitive about "being in love".

Hey, let it be.

However, when the girl contacted Yu Nian again, his first thought was to "escape", but this was only a temporary measure!He wanted to consult with someone, and that person was not Yang Jiayue, nor Wang Min, but Luo Heng, whom he had just met recently.After all, most of the friends in this circle were introduced by Luo Heng.

If you want something from others, a meal is indispensable. Yu Nian invited Luo Heng out for lunch, and confide in him about his troubles.

Luo Heng thought for a while, then asked puzzledly, "Why don't you try to follow her around? She is a very nice girl."

Yu Nian crossed his fingers, lowered his eyes and shook his head: "I can only stay here for half a year, what will we do now that we are together?"

"You," Luo Heng smiled helplessly, "you always think too far and too far, isn't this very tiring? Now the boyfriend and girlfriend are together if they want to be together, and they are separated if they want to be apart. What does it matter? ah."

Yu Nian: "But..."

"But what?" Luo Heng interrupted him, "If you are really suitable together? Distance will not be a problem! You can study in the UK after graduation, and she can follow you to where you want to go. No one can say for sure."

Yu Nian frowned: "She and I have different financial capabilities."

Luo Heng laughed at him again: "As a man, he should fight for his own woman. It doesn't matter if you don't have money now, but if you have money in the future, it's fine?"

Yu Nian was speechless, but Luo Heng's analysis made sense.

"I really don't know why you are in trouble." Luo Heng took a sip of tea, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Have you ever been in a relationship?"

Yu Nian said, "No."

Luo Heng: "No wonder, but you are so handsome, there should be quite a lot of people chasing you."

Yu Nian: "Not many, they are all children's favorites."

Luo Heng: "Then, have you ever liked someone?"

Yu Nian was taken aback for a moment, thinking not, but after thinking about it, "like" also has different meanings.

To be honest, he likes Xiao Long very much, and the feeling of being with him makes people feel happy involuntarily.

He likes Wang Min, and he likes Wang Min's inexplicable feelings for Xiao Long.

I like Zhao Xue, I like that she is poor and ambitious, and I like her attitude of having her own dreams and working hard for them.

I like Yu Yue and have worshiped him since I was a child, even though I haven't found him yet.

Also, Yang Jiayue...you will miss him if you don't contact him for a long time, but if you are too close, you will feel a little scared, so this can be regarded as a kind of liking.

So many kinds of likes, maybe all of them are a kind of feeling that I yearn for.

Yu Nian didn't know what it was like to really like someone.

"Hehe..." Luo Heng felt that the boy in front of him was thinking hard about the word "like" and his expression was a bit cute, "How old are you, are you nineteen?"

Yu Nian: "I just had my birthday last month."

Luo Heng said in surprise: "Isn't it? It's so young? Oh, it's really not the right time to know, why didn't you tell us about your birthday! How about you make up a coming-of-age party for you?"

Yu Nian is a bit cold about Luo Heng calling himself "brother", but nine out of ten boys will call themselves "brother" when chatting with each other, and Yang Jiayue will also call himself "brother". Besides, Yu Nian is young, and almost all boys in the same level can be his brother. Even if Yu Yue is the only elder brother in his mind.

Yu Nian: "You don't need it, it's okay..."

Luo Heng: "Why not, coming of age is a very grand event, holding a coming of age ceremony in England can be regarded as a special memory!"

Yu Nian: "...It's really unnecessary."

Luo Heng: "That's the deal!"

If one problem is not solved, then another problem arises, hey!

In the third month in the UK, Wang Min saw the quick-frozen pasta, quick-frozen mashed potatoes, quick-frozen pizza, quick-frozen pasta in the supermarket... already wanted to vomit.

Chatting with Xiao Long on QQ, Wang Min said depressedly: "When I see raw meat in the supermarket, I always want to be mature. Recently, I really want to buy vegetables and cook them myself, but when I think about buying pots and pans, I still have three months left. I can go back in a month, and I'm too lazy to do it again, so let's make it like this..."

Xiao Long: "I ate braised pork today: D"

Wang Min: "I also want to eat meat, meat, meat, meat..." Yushi Feiyu sent you a window chatter.

Xiao Long: "..."

It was rare to see Wang Min acting like a baby, Xiao Long grinned in front of the screen until the corners of his mouth reached his ears, "When you come back, I'll invite you to the canteen of the University of Science and Technology to eat a big row!"

Wang Min: "(﹃)..."

Xiao Long: "The canteen row can seduce you into this appearance, you are hopeless!"

Wang Min: "If I knew it, I would have brought a Filipino maid to England to cook for me."

Xiao Long: "Cut~ You have so much money to hire a Filipino maid?"

Wang Min: "It's free, you, go and learn how to cook, and cook for me later."

Xiao Long: "You think it's beautiful!"

A few days later, Xiao Long received a postcard from Wang Min from London. On the postcard was London's famous Ferris wheel, LondonEye, and on the back was Wang Min's usual beautiful regular script——

"Xiao Xiao, I look forward to going to the sky with you one day

MissYouAllTheTime. I miss you all the time—Min"

Xiao Long thought with tears in his eyes: Mom, I want to learn to cook!
