[Comprehensive Korean Drama] "Core" Life
Chapter 45 Accident
Xinai was sitting at the desk doing homework, and her roommate Sarah came in from the outside, wearing a baseball glove and sweating profusely.She changed her clothes, took a shower in the bathroom, wiped her hair, and said, "Xin Ai, are you going home this weekend?"
"I won't go back." Xin Ai didn't look up, and replied casually, continuing to write in her hand.
Because there are not many international students in the school, Xinai is the only one in this class, and she is also an Asian face.When she first entered school, a female classmate in the class yelled at Xin Ai because of "racial discrimination".Because this female classmate has a serious English accent and she uses slang, Xin Ai, who is relatively "regular" in English, didn't understand the other party's "weird" English at all, but guessed from the other party's expression that it seemed to be nothing good words.
When the other party insulted Xin Ai, Sarah stood up and reprimanded the other party's behavior, and asked her to apologize to Xiang Xinai and report her behavior to the teacher.Sarah's brave behavior made Xinai have a good impression of her. When the dormitory was allocated, the two were assigned to the same dormitory, so Sarah and Xinai had a good relationship.
Sarah is from Texas. Although she doesn't go home on weekends, her weekends are full and her off-campus life is very rich.When Xinai didn't come home before, she invited Xinai several times, but was rejected by Xinai, but she was never discouraged because of her enthusiasm. Next time there is an event, she will continue to invite Xinai persistently.
Sure enough, when Xin Ai said that she would not go back, Sarah clapped her hands and said, "That's great." She stood leaning on Xin Ai's desk and warmly invited Xin Ai. "Xin Ai, my friend in Philadelphia has a party this weekend, you can go to it with me? Xin Ai, I'm not talking about you, you don't want to stay at school or go home all day, you should go out more, Make more friends. Philadelphia is not far from New York, you can come back on the same day, even if you can’t come back on the same day, my friend’s villa is very big, you can stay there and leave the next day, how about going together?” Seeing Xin Ai looking up, she blinked mischievously.
"Okay." Xin Ai was a little embarrassed to refuse the other party again and again. After thinking about it, she had no plans for this weekend, so she nodded and agreed.
Early in the morning on Saturday, Xinai got up, washed up, changed clothes, turned her head and saw Jessica's dress, she was taken aback, it was so cool.Sarah's upper body is a low-cut navel-baring dress, and a pair of low-waist hot pants. The short legs of the trousers reach the thighs, and the low waist almost exposes the buttocks.
Xinai hurriedly reminded the other party. "Sarah, you're crazy. Although it's the weekend and the holiday time, the requirements are not as strict as in class, but if you are seen by the teaching staff, you will be locked up."
As a well-known church girls' school, Jocres is famous not only for its teaching quality and high enrollment rate, but also for its teaching of etiquette, beauty, makeup, and manners to students, which is almost as good as that of bridal schools.
The reason why Xinai chose Joe Kress was not without this reason.Xin Ai had not received systematic etiquette training before. After arriving at the Cui family, the Cui family is a grassroots among the grassroots.
When Xinai returns to Yin's house, Yin's mother can always pick out her lack of etiquette.Xinai knows that Yin's mother is not picky, she is indeed lacking in this aspect.Logically speaking, Mother Yin pointed it out, and she just corrected it obediently, but Mother Yin did not teach her from the beginning as a teacher, and her tone of voice made Xinai unbearable.
Xinai can't count on Yin's mother, and it's not appropriate to go to a special training school.Because Yin's mother can't teach, but going to a special training school is slapping Yin's mother in the face.Helpless, Xin Ai found out that the church school has special teaching courses on etiquette, so for this reason, Xin Ai also wants to enroll in the church school without being picked out by Yin's mother.
The most basic requirement of etiquette is to dress appropriately. Joe Kress has a church background, and it is a school, so the requirements are stricter in this regard. Dresses like Jessica are not allowed to be worn out at all.
Sarah took out a mid-length white shirt and put it on outside, covered it tightly, turned around in front of Xinai, and said proudly: "Ann, I know the one just now is not good, so I won't be so stupid. Just wear it out. I have already prepared for this. In fact, as long as we walk out of the school gate, we will be fine. How and what we wear after leaving the school, the teachers and staff have no control at all!"
Xin Ai suddenly regretted a little, and felt that she should not have promised Sarah to go to any party, or she should have asked in more detail about the content of the party.But now that the words have been spoken, she can't regret it at this time, so she changed into a trouser suit casually and followed Sarah out of the school.At the school gate, Jessica's friend Mike was already waiting for them in a car.
After getting in the car, Sarah took off the shirt on her body, revealing her coquettish/coquettish dress.Mike, who was driving, saw her attire in the rearview mirror and whistled indiscreetly. "Sarah, this is beautiful!" Her eyes fell on Xin Ai, who only showed her arms and her collarbone slightly, and the rest was hidden in her clothes, and teased. "Your friend's clothes are outdated when compared with yours. Hasn't she dressed enough in school? She still looks like a school girl when she comes out to play?"
After Sarah got in the car, she took out the cosmetics from her bag and started to put on makeup. Hearing Mike's complaint, she paused her powdering hands and said with a charming smile, "Mike, Xinai is from a conservative country, and it's her first time to participate This kind of party is justifiable."
"Oh." Mike elongated his tone meaningfully, and gave Sarah a look that you understand and I understand.
Seeing Sarah and Mike making eye contact that she didn't understand, Xinxin panicked inexplicably.Then she looked at Sarah who had already put on makeup, facing the unfamiliar face after putting on makeup, she suddenly felt that she didn't seem to know this roommate well.She seemed to have made a mistake, she shouldn't have promised Sarah to come to the party so hastily.
When he arrived in Philadelphia, Mike drove into Lower Merion. Xinai had heard of this place. This is a well-known wealthy area in Philadelphia. Private cars are used to enter and exit, and taxis are not allowed to enter.In fact, many affluent areas in the United States are like this, and taxis are not allowed to stop at all.
When he came to a blue-gray villa on the mountain, Mike drove into the yard.Xinai got out of the car and entered the house, and saw that many people had already come in the house, all of them were young girls of about the same age.Declining Sarah's suggestion to take her to play, Xin Ai took a glass of champagne from the waiter, and found a secluded place to sit down.
Xin Ai quietly watched everyone vent their enthusiasm on the dance floor, shouting wantonly.The loud music and the noisy and lively environment in the room really made her unable to adapt.She got up to go to the bathroom, but was frightened by a man and a woman who were kissing passionately and almost staged a restricted-rated scene, and hurriedly backed out.Asked the location of the other bathroom from the waiter, went in, came out, and was frightened and panicked by the men and men who were together in front of me.
Returning to her seat in a panic, Xin Ai caressed her chest, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her beating heart.Before she could calm down, Mike appeared out of nowhere, and Mike, who sat across from her, frightened her again.Xin Ai patted her chest a few times with lingering fear, this kind of fright repeated several times, even if her heart was normal, she would not be able to bear it.
Although sitting in the seat, Mike, who was still swaying to the music, greeted Xinai with a smile on his face. "Hey, Xinai, why are you hiding here? Sarah left you here and went to play by herself. It's too wrong. Go to dance? If there is no dance partner, I can accompany you?" The words contained Great jump.
Xin Ai shook her head and refused. "Forget it. I don't like dancing. If you want to dance, go ahead. I'll just sit here."
Mike got up, sat down next to Xin Ai, took out a pack of white powder from his pocket to show Xin Ai, and mysteriously approached her ear and said: "I have something good here, do you want to taste it? Put it in the wine, after you drink it, I promise you will be very High in a while!"
Mike tore off the package of the powder, poured it into Xinai's champagne, shook it, and handed it to Xinai after the powder was fully mixed with the champagne. "I heard that you are still a virgin, how are you? Are you interested? There is a room upstairs. I'm good at kung fu. I promise to make you Higher Higher!"
While talking, Mike turned his head and blew hot air on Xinai's neck ambiguously, and also stuck out his tongue with great interest to lick Xinai's ear, his hands became dishonest, and started to grope Xinai's body .
After Mike took out the white powder, Xinai's face changed. She saw from the packaging of the bag that what Mike took out was not a drug, but a hallucinogen, but this kind of thing will still be addictive after a long time of use.As soon as they came to the United States, Yin's father and Yin's mother seriously warned Yin Junxi and Xin Ai not to be contaminated with these things.Even without the advice of Yin's father and Yin's mother, she already has an adult mind and would not drink this kind of wine mixed with drugs, so she didn't pick up the wine that Mike handed over.
At first, Mike's approach made Xinai feel uncomfortable, but when she heard his words, Xinai's face changed drastically. Before she could react, she felt the heat from Mike's mouth in her neck, and Xinai's goose bumps all over her body All up.Then Mike started to move his hands, and the flustered Xinai couldn't care about anything, and pushed Mike away, ignoring Mike who was pushed to the ground, got up and ran outside.
After escaping from the villa, Xin Ai ran out along the main road, and didn't stop until she was tired from running.Panting heavily, Xin Ai looked back and saw no one chasing her, so she felt relieved.At this time, Xin Ai found out that because she was too flustered when she left, she left her bag in the villa, and her wallet and mobile phone were in the bag.Even so, Xin Ai didn't have the courage to return to the villa to pick up the bag.
While walking down the mountain by herself, Xinai paid attention to the road, hoping to stop a passing car and give her a ride so that the other person could take her down the mountain.Xin Ai noticed a blue Lamborghini driving behind him, which was the same as the one Mike drove. She panicked and hid behind the trees next to the avenue, quietly looking at the car.
The car drove to the lane near Xinai, and stopped with a sudden brake.There was a man and a woman in the car. The two seemed to be arguing. Through the car window, Xin Ai couldn't hear what they were arguing about.Then I saw the woman who was driving opened the car window and dropped a mobile phone on the asphalt road. The mobile phone was immediately dismembered and scattered on the ground.The woman's behavior angered the man, and followed the man who didn't know what the man said to the woman. The woman pushed the man out of the car, made a goodbye gesture, closed the car door, stepped on the accelerator, and galloped away. Go, the man stood there jumping and scolding.The man was young and looked about the same age as Yin Junxi.
After watching the excitement, Xin Ai walked out from behind the tree, ready to continue walking.The man was very surprised when he saw Xin Ai, "There is a little mouse hiding here, and my uncle didn't notice it? What are you doing hiding there? Are you watching my uncle's joke?"
Xin Ai didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, she gave the man a sideways glance, and walked forward on her own.
"Hey, my uncle is talking to you, how dare you not answer me?" The man shouted loudly behind Xin Ai.
After walking a few steps, Xin Ai suddenly stopped and turned to ask him, "What's your name? Do you have a phone?" With a phone, you can use it to call a car after going down the mountain, and you can go back.
"How could I tell you my name so easily?" The man said in a tone of choice, "You can call me King."
"The phone made me drop that nasty sow just now." As soon as he mentioned it, the man became angry, and he said fiercely: "Hmph, damn sow, she dared to drop my things, how dare she throw me something!" Dare to leave my uncle on the way, she dares to treat me like this, she is dead. Wait, wait for this uncle..."
"King?" Xin Ai muttered to herself, thinking of Yin Junxi and Enxi's "prince" and "princess", her mood suddenly became very bad.Xin Ai was not in the mood to listen to the other party's harsh words, and interrupted him, "Then do you have money?"
"Of course." Seeing Xin Ai asked him such a question, King raised his head high and looked at her disdainfully. "Hmph, my uncle's family doesn't have much, only the most money."
Xinai turned a blind eye to the contempt of the other party, and continued to ask: "How much? Take it out and see." The clothes on this man are not only famous brands, but also obviously handmade. There should be enough money on him. She borrowed from him It should be fine for some money.
King reached out his hand to touch his pocket, but found nothing. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "My wallet was taken away by that nasty sow just now. But it's okay. When I get home, I want to If you want money, you have as much as you want." And the sow will not keep his wallet for too long, and she will give it back to him when he returns home.
Xinai sighed softly and asked, "Then where is your home?"
King said very proudly: "Long Island, New York."
Hearing the address reported by the other party, Xinai turned around and left without saying a word.I knew that the bastard in front of me couldn't be counted on.Long Island, New York is a good place, the most famous wealthy area in New York, but taxis are still not allowed there.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Even if you want to leave, why should you tell me in advance, why don't you say anything, leave me alone and run away?" The attitude is puzzled.In the past, once he reported his home address, the girls immediately surrounded him, trying to please him in every possible way, but how could Xinai avoid him instead?
Xinai ignored him, wanted to avoid him, and walked to the other side of the road, one of them didn't pay attention, slipped and fell to the ground, a piercing pain made Xinai burst into tears.
"How are you? Can you still go?" King stepped forward to help Xin Ai up, and asked with concern.Xinai tentatively put her feet on the ground and stepped forward.As long as the foot moved, it would be a piercing pain, and the foot could not touch the ground at all.She shook her head, she was powerless in this situation and couldn't leave.
King looked around, walked up to Xin Ai, squatted down, and said, "Come on, I will carry you on my back."
Xin Ai hesitated for a moment, then lay on King's back and asked him to carry her down the mountain.Although Xin Ai is not too heavy, but the other party is carrying her on his back, walking with a heavy load is not an easy task, and he will soon become tired and sweat profusely. King walked a long way with Xinai on his back, and no car passed by. He couldn't help complaining: "Why can't I see a car in this damn place."
Xin Ai asked the other party to put her down, took a rest, and explained casually: "The people who live here are either rich or expensive, and they have private cars when they go in and out." Pointing to the sun on the finger, she said: "It's noon now, who Will you go out at this time? If no one goes out, you will not see the car. As for here, taxis are not allowed to stop. If you want to take a taxi, you just need to go down the mountain and get out of this area. Just saw the car It's useless, do you have money for a taxi home?"
"I don't have it on me, do you have it?" King asked back.
Xin Ai took out twenty dollars and 57 cents from her pocket, and said, "This is what is left over from my morning meal, and it is all my property."
Seeing Xinai holding some money pitifully in his hand, King sighed and said, "Which school are you from?" If the money is enough, I will send you back to school first, and then you can lend me the money.
"Jocrest Ladies Mission High School." That's not enough money to go back to school.Without waiting for the other party to open her mouth, Xin Ai said again: "My family is also in New York." It was not enough to go home.
"Ah, it's the school for widows. I've heard about it. I heard that it only recruits girls, not boys. Even the teachers who teach are women, and many of them are old maids who can't get married..."
Xin likes to listen to the other party's evaluation of his school, so she interrupts him. "It's not that exaggerated. Although it is a girls' school, there are still male teachers in the school. Also, the teachers and the others refuse to get married. It's not that they can't get a wife, or that they can't get married, but they dedicate their body and mind to theirs. Faith." This is also a characteristic of schools with religious backgrounds.
Having had enough rest, King picked up his heart and continued to walk down the mountain.After finally walking down the mountain and out of the rich area, the man asked Xin Ai: "What should we do now?"
Xin Ai thought for a while and said: "Find a public phone, and then you call home and ask your family to come here to pick you up." By the way, take me for a ride.
"Okay." King walked down the street with Xinai on his back, looked left and right, and finally saw a public phone booth, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over to Xinai.
King first put down Xin Ai from his back.Then Xinai took out the money, handed it to him, pointed to the phone booth, and said, "Go in and call, remember to tell the address clearly, and ask your family to send someone to pick you up. Also, to make a long story short." There is not much money.
"You don't need to remind me, I also know." King awkwardly took the money from Xin Ai, turned and entered the phone booth.Xin Ai stood outside and saw him pick up the microphone, standing there motionless, without pressing a button for a long time.Finally he dropped the phone, turned and walked out of the phone booth.
Xin Ai asked suspiciously: "Didn't I ask you to call home and ask them to pick you up? Why didn't you call? What were you thinking? Why didn't you call?"
No matter how Xin Ai asked, King lowered his head, didn't make a sound, raised his head after a while, and said with a gloomy face, "I don't remember the phone number."
Hearing this, Xin Ai only felt that her breath was choked in the middle of her throat. She was full of depression, and really didn't know what to say to the other party. "You idiot, you can't even remember your phone number, what else do you think you can do?"
King retorted stiffly. "I don't need you to comment on my work! I have so many things to do every day, how can I have the time to memorize phone numbers? Besides, remembering phone numbers is such a trivial matter that I still need to do it. As long as there is a mobile phone Here, just look for it when you need it.”
Seeing the other party's attitude of taking it for granted, Xin Ai was furious. "Yes, you don't need to remember the phone number, you just need to remember it in your mobile phone. Then tell me, where is your mobile phone? Now you don't remember your home phone number, so tell me, how do you go back?"
"I can do whatever I want, I don't need you to teach me!" King was also angry when he was reprimanded by Xin Ai. "You're not an idiot, so you should remember your home phone number. Just call your home and let them pick you up." It doesn't matter who picks you up, so why do you have to have another home.
"If I can contact my family, how can I count on you?" Xin Ai said angrily.Today's matter clearly cannot be known by Yin's father and Yin's mother.She finally got the consent of Yin's father and Yin's mother to study in a boarding school.If they knew, they would have reluctantly agreed to allow her to continue boarding outside.She didn't want to go home, and she did so.
"Then what should we do now?" King asked Xin Ai.The two of them have no money and can't contact their families, so they can't just wait here, can they?
Xinai stood leaning against the public telephone booth, looked around, saw a musical instrument store not far away, her eyes lit up, and said, "Hey, let me tell you, what musical instruments do you know?" Usually learn one or two instruments.
"My uncle knows a lot, and they are all at a professional level. Like piano, drums, saxophone,..."
Xinai quickly interrupted him. "Stop, stop, can you say something reliable? Those are far away, we can't reach them."
"What do you mean? Why are they unreliable? Why are they out of reach?" King was puzzled by Xinai's words.
Xin Ai shook the money that King returned just now in her hand, and said, "I mean, estimate the musical instruments that I can buy with this little money in my hand, which one would you like?"
"You still want to buy a musical instrument with such a small amount of money?" King couldn't believe it, he felt that Xin Ai was completely whimsical.
Seeing King's expression, Xin Ai understood that although the person in front of him is not so unreal, the things he uses are definitely not cheap, and it is a waste of time to talk to him.Xin Ai pointed to the musical instrument store and said directly: "Help me, let's go there and have a look."
Entering the musical instrument store, the shopkeeper saw that the two were wearing high-end products, and Xinai was noncommittal.After looking at it for a while, the cheapest western musical instruments in the store could not be bought. Xin Ai interrupted the owner's eloquent introduction and asked directly: "Sorry, we only have twenty dollars and 57 cents, can I buy them in your store?" What kind of instrument is there?"
"Twenty dollars and 57 cents?" The shopkeeper was stunned, unable to react for a while, and repeated foolishly.How could it be possible for such a small amount of money? It doesn't look like it's dressed.
Xinai nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, we only have twenty dollars and 57 cents. Please tell me, what kind of musical instrument can we buy?"
The shopkeeper came to his senses, thought for a while, and brought some Chinese national musical instruments from the warehouse behind, including xun, bamboo flute, bamboo flute, gourd silk, erhu, etc.The shopkeeper pointed to them and said: "A few years ago, I became obsessed with Chinese Kungfu, and then bought a lot of Chinese musical instruments. These were leftovers from the sale at that time. You can choose and see." can buy.
Xinai turned to look at King and said, "Which one of these would you like?"
When Xin Ai was talking to the shopkeeper, King hid aside. He didn't believe that such a small amount of money could buy a musical instrument. He didn't expect that he could actually buy it. He walked up to have a look, and immediately frowned. , Disgusted and said: "What are these? The workmanship is so rough, can it be used?" It can't be used at all.
"You talk so much nonsense. Come on, which one do you know?" Xin Ai was angry, and it was rare for the shopkeeper to be kind and willing to bother to help. He was still picking and choosing here.
"Why would my uncle touch such low-level things?" King looked disgusted, dismissing those musical instruments, thinking that they were not musical instruments at all, but rubbish.
Xin Ai had no energy to argue with King, so she thought for a while and asked, "Can you play the flute?"
"Of course. My uncle is a good player." King said without hesitation, with a bit of complacency.
Hearing his answer, Xinai picked up the bamboo flute inside, handed it to him, and said, "Take it, since you can play the flute, you should also be able to play the flute." The pronunciation principles of the two are similar, fingering and hand shape Also similar.Now that one is proficient in one, the other is not difficult to get started.
King frantically took the bamboo flute in his hands, looked it over carefully, and hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, these two are different things, okay?"
Xinai ignored him, turned around to ask the price, and then chatted with the shopkeeper for a long time. After spending a long time, she spent twenty dollars and thirty cents to buy the flute in King's hand and a half-used one. And some frayed harmonicas. King was very surprised when he heard Xinai bargaining at the beginning. He didn't expect to be able to bargain when buying things. For him, this knowledge was the first time he had encountered it.
After buying something worth more than 20 dollars, he still bargained. When King realized it, his face turned blue, and he felt that he had never been so ashamed in his life.If he hadn't talked with Xin Ai just now, and Xin Ai was injured and couldn't leave alone, he would want to leave now, pretending that he didn't know her.
King tried to stop Xin Ai before, hoping that she would not continue such embarrassing behavior.However, I don't know if it's because the blocking action he used was too subtle and unobtrusive, or because Xin Ai didn't receive it well.King, who couldn't leave, could only choose to stand far away, pretending to appreciate the musical instruments in the store, and keep a distance from Xinai.
After negotiating the price, when the two left, King was thinking about apologizing to the shop owner for taking up such a long time and buying such a worthless little thing.Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper took out a colorful cowboy hat with a smile and handed it to Xin Ai, "Hehe, little girl, you are so interesting. Come to my shop next time if you need it, and I will give you a discount. I I think you will need this for your performance in a while, so I lent you this, use it, and return it when you run out. I don’t close until nine o’clock.”
Xinai thanked the other party and took the hat with a smile.Seeing this scene, King only felt that the world he had always known seemed to be different.
Helping Xin Ai out of the musical instrument store, King asked her: "Where are we going next?" He still hasn't figured out what kind of medicine is sold in Xin Ai's gourd.
Xinai looked at the surrounding environment and said: "Go to the square or the subway station, or other places, it's fine. Look at it, in short, a place with a lot of people will do."
King, who didn't know why, brought Xin Ai to the subway station, and came to a promenade with various advertisements and promotions. Xin Ai asked King to stop. Hurry up and get acquainted with the bamboo flute, and I will perform it for everyone in a while." She said and put the hat lent to her by the shopkeeper on the ground.
"You actually asked me to do this?" King, who finally understood what Xinai was up to, was so angry that he jumped on his feet, and refused: "You give up, I will not do this kind of thing, it has nothing to do with begging what a difference."
"How is this begging? The so-called begging is getting something for nothing. We are a street performer. If someone is willing to give money, it is an affirmation of our talent."
Seeing that King was indifferent to her words, he had an attitude of not cooperating with me.Xin Ai sighed helplessly, and persuaded earnestly: "As a performer, it is wrong to be picky about the stage and despise the audience. This is not a correct attitude..."
"Tch!" King pointed at the passers-by with eyes full of disdain. "Is this the audience you're talking about?" Looking at the corridor again, "Is this the stage you're talking about? I'm not blind, I have eyes. You're trying to fool me, but it's a bit close." King confirmed the core An act of love is street begging.
"Why can't this be considered a stage? How can they not be the audience? Yes, many of them don't wear formal clothes, but there is no difference between them and those who go to the theater to listen to the performance. They have ears just like them. When we perform here, compared with the big theater, the audience is larger and the stage is wider. In your eyes, is it right to just sit in the opera house and listen to the performance in suits and ties and evening gowns? Those people, they go in You also need to pay for a ticket to listen to the performance. Can you go in for free without buying a ticket? What is the big difference between the money for buying a ticket and the money these people give us for listening to our performance? They are all paid according to their work .”
"Okay, you think it's ugly. You can do it if you don't want to. I will do it myself. I made money and I will go back to school by myself. Don't you dislike it? Just right, I don't want to use my hard-earned money for you. You Just stay here, don't go home." Seeing that King had already wavered, Xin Ai gave another final blow.
"Hmph." King said arrogantly, "You do it yourself? Could it be that you can play the flute? If not, what performance do you use?" His eyes fell on the old harmonica, "You probably want to use it to play the flute. Can you play this harmonica? This harmonica is not only old, but also one side of the cover is sunken in. I don’t know if the reeds inside can still be used. You still plan to use it to play, what a joke!” It’s already broken It's gone, it can't be used anymore, don't count on me in the end.
Although King had bowed his head, Xinai didn't directly agree to him, picked up the harmonica, shook it in front of King's eyes, and said, "It's okay, I've seen it, although the outer cover is deflated and rusty, but It’s still good inside, so don’t delay the performance.” It’s okay without you.As he spoke, he put it to his mouth and blew it, and it was not broken, and the sound was not bad.
"The vocal range is so bad, it's so messy here, it's so noisy, who can hear you clearly, let me do it." King picked up the bamboo flute messenger and started playing. Although it was a little rusty at first, but Soon he found a rhythm and played coherently.After blowing one section smoothly, King fiddled with the bamboo flute in his hand in distaste, his face full of disgust. "Hmph, the workmanship is rough, and the sound quality is mediocre. Fortunately, my uncle has a high level of playing skills, otherwise the things he blows out cannot be heard at all."
"Yes, yes, you are amazing, you have a high level, I admire you so much." Now that the other party has agreed to start performing, Xin Ai does not want to make any troubles, and caresses the tsundere cat in front of her.
The crisp flute sounded in the subway station.Xin Ai stood behind King with a harmonica and smiled wryly. He was right. In such a noisy environment here, the sound of the harmonica is relatively low. If you don’t get close, you can’t hear it clearly at all. It’s really not suitable for playing here.Regardless of whether it is suitable or not, when King finishes playing a piece of music, Xinai plays the harmonica to give King time to rest.
As the two played, a lot of coins were thrown into the hats in front of them intermittently by passers-by who stopped and admired them. Looking at the coins and banknotes inside, Xin Xinxin estimated the values.Estimating that there is enough money in it, Xin Ai signaled King to stop, collected the money, and the two left the subway station.
When King bent over to pick up the hat, Xinai saw the famous watch on his wrist, and the diamonds on it made her eyes hurt.Xin Ai couldn't help falling to her feet and sighing, she's such a fool, just because she doesn't have money, doesn't mean she doesn't have worthless things.If this watch is sent to a pawn shop, ten times the travel expenses will be paid out, and it will be fine to redeem it after returning home, so there is no need for her to make such a strenuous plan.It's just that it's too late to say anything now.Eat a pit, gain a wisdom, remember it in the future.
First went to the musical instrument store to return the boss's hat. King stood at the corner of the street with Xin Ai on his arm and asked, "Where shall we go next? Do you want to go to the hospital to see your feet?"
It's fine for the two of them to go home by car with this little money, but it's definitely not enough to go to the hospital to see a doctor, not to mention that she doesn't have all the documents with her, and she can't go to the hospital.Xin Ai shook her head and said, "No, it's about this time, let's find a place to eat first."
Seeing King leading her to a high-end restaurant, Xin Ai quickly stopped.Then at the request of Xin Ai, the two went to KFC for fast food. King took a bite of the hamburger, swallowed it reluctantly, put it aside, refused to eat any more, and said with a disgusted face: "What the hell is this, I can't eat it at all. The vegetables are not fresh, and I don't know how to use them for salads." What is it made of, it smells weird,..."
Seeing that King's complaints attracted the attention of people around him, Xin Ai hurriedly interrupted him. "My young master, don't be picky, can you? Do you really think this is your kitchen? Such a large table of food is less than a hundred dollars. It's not bad to make it like this. What's your dissatisfaction if you can eat enough?" of?"
"These things are less than a hundred dollars?" King looked at the table full of food, full of surprise, eyes full of disbelief, it was really incredible.He felt that the time spent with Xin Ai made him re-understand the world, and many things subverted his understanding.
"Do you want to go home? If you go back, I'll give you the money, and you can go there and take the car." After getting out of KFC, she went to the handicraft store to buy a walking stick, and Xinai shared half of the money left over from the meal between the two of them. For King, pointing in the direction of the station.
"Aren't you with me?" King asked
"I won't go back." Xin Ai didn't look up, and replied casually, continuing to write in her hand.
Because there are not many international students in the school, Xinai is the only one in this class, and she is also an Asian face.When she first entered school, a female classmate in the class yelled at Xin Ai because of "racial discrimination".Because this female classmate has a serious English accent and she uses slang, Xin Ai, who is relatively "regular" in English, didn't understand the other party's "weird" English at all, but guessed from the other party's expression that it seemed to be nothing good words.
When the other party insulted Xin Ai, Sarah stood up and reprimanded the other party's behavior, and asked her to apologize to Xiang Xinai and report her behavior to the teacher.Sarah's brave behavior made Xinai have a good impression of her. When the dormitory was allocated, the two were assigned to the same dormitory, so Sarah and Xinai had a good relationship.
Sarah is from Texas. Although she doesn't go home on weekends, her weekends are full and her off-campus life is very rich.When Xinai didn't come home before, she invited Xinai several times, but was rejected by Xinai, but she was never discouraged because of her enthusiasm. Next time there is an event, she will continue to invite Xinai persistently.
Sure enough, when Xin Ai said that she would not go back, Sarah clapped her hands and said, "That's great." She stood leaning on Xin Ai's desk and warmly invited Xin Ai. "Xin Ai, my friend in Philadelphia has a party this weekend, you can go to it with me? Xin Ai, I'm not talking about you, you don't want to stay at school or go home all day, you should go out more, Make more friends. Philadelphia is not far from New York, you can come back on the same day, even if you can’t come back on the same day, my friend’s villa is very big, you can stay there and leave the next day, how about going together?” Seeing Xin Ai looking up, she blinked mischievously.
"Okay." Xin Ai was a little embarrassed to refuse the other party again and again. After thinking about it, she had no plans for this weekend, so she nodded and agreed.
Early in the morning on Saturday, Xinai got up, washed up, changed clothes, turned her head and saw Jessica's dress, she was taken aback, it was so cool.Sarah's upper body is a low-cut navel-baring dress, and a pair of low-waist hot pants. The short legs of the trousers reach the thighs, and the low waist almost exposes the buttocks.
Xinai hurriedly reminded the other party. "Sarah, you're crazy. Although it's the weekend and the holiday time, the requirements are not as strict as in class, but if you are seen by the teaching staff, you will be locked up."
As a well-known church girls' school, Jocres is famous not only for its teaching quality and high enrollment rate, but also for its teaching of etiquette, beauty, makeup, and manners to students, which is almost as good as that of bridal schools.
The reason why Xinai chose Joe Kress was not without this reason.Xin Ai had not received systematic etiquette training before. After arriving at the Cui family, the Cui family is a grassroots among the grassroots.
When Xinai returns to Yin's house, Yin's mother can always pick out her lack of etiquette.Xinai knows that Yin's mother is not picky, she is indeed lacking in this aspect.Logically speaking, Mother Yin pointed it out, and she just corrected it obediently, but Mother Yin did not teach her from the beginning as a teacher, and her tone of voice made Xinai unbearable.
Xinai can't count on Yin's mother, and it's not appropriate to go to a special training school.Because Yin's mother can't teach, but going to a special training school is slapping Yin's mother in the face.Helpless, Xin Ai found out that the church school has special teaching courses on etiquette, so for this reason, Xin Ai also wants to enroll in the church school without being picked out by Yin's mother.
The most basic requirement of etiquette is to dress appropriately. Joe Kress has a church background, and it is a school, so the requirements are stricter in this regard. Dresses like Jessica are not allowed to be worn out at all.
Sarah took out a mid-length white shirt and put it on outside, covered it tightly, turned around in front of Xinai, and said proudly: "Ann, I know the one just now is not good, so I won't be so stupid. Just wear it out. I have already prepared for this. In fact, as long as we walk out of the school gate, we will be fine. How and what we wear after leaving the school, the teachers and staff have no control at all!"
Xin Ai suddenly regretted a little, and felt that she should not have promised Sarah to go to any party, or she should have asked in more detail about the content of the party.But now that the words have been spoken, she can't regret it at this time, so she changed into a trouser suit casually and followed Sarah out of the school.At the school gate, Jessica's friend Mike was already waiting for them in a car.
After getting in the car, Sarah took off the shirt on her body, revealing her coquettish/coquettish dress.Mike, who was driving, saw her attire in the rearview mirror and whistled indiscreetly. "Sarah, this is beautiful!" Her eyes fell on Xin Ai, who only showed her arms and her collarbone slightly, and the rest was hidden in her clothes, and teased. "Your friend's clothes are outdated when compared with yours. Hasn't she dressed enough in school? She still looks like a school girl when she comes out to play?"
After Sarah got in the car, she took out the cosmetics from her bag and started to put on makeup. Hearing Mike's complaint, she paused her powdering hands and said with a charming smile, "Mike, Xinai is from a conservative country, and it's her first time to participate This kind of party is justifiable."
"Oh." Mike elongated his tone meaningfully, and gave Sarah a look that you understand and I understand.
Seeing Sarah and Mike making eye contact that she didn't understand, Xinxin panicked inexplicably.Then she looked at Sarah who had already put on makeup, facing the unfamiliar face after putting on makeup, she suddenly felt that she didn't seem to know this roommate well.She seemed to have made a mistake, she shouldn't have promised Sarah to come to the party so hastily.
When he arrived in Philadelphia, Mike drove into Lower Merion. Xinai had heard of this place. This is a well-known wealthy area in Philadelphia. Private cars are used to enter and exit, and taxis are not allowed to enter.In fact, many affluent areas in the United States are like this, and taxis are not allowed to stop at all.
When he came to a blue-gray villa on the mountain, Mike drove into the yard.Xinai got out of the car and entered the house, and saw that many people had already come in the house, all of them were young girls of about the same age.Declining Sarah's suggestion to take her to play, Xin Ai took a glass of champagne from the waiter, and found a secluded place to sit down.
Xin Ai quietly watched everyone vent their enthusiasm on the dance floor, shouting wantonly.The loud music and the noisy and lively environment in the room really made her unable to adapt.She got up to go to the bathroom, but was frightened by a man and a woman who were kissing passionately and almost staged a restricted-rated scene, and hurriedly backed out.Asked the location of the other bathroom from the waiter, went in, came out, and was frightened and panicked by the men and men who were together in front of me.
Returning to her seat in a panic, Xin Ai caressed her chest, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her beating heart.Before she could calm down, Mike appeared out of nowhere, and Mike, who sat across from her, frightened her again.Xin Ai patted her chest a few times with lingering fear, this kind of fright repeated several times, even if her heart was normal, she would not be able to bear it.
Although sitting in the seat, Mike, who was still swaying to the music, greeted Xinai with a smile on his face. "Hey, Xinai, why are you hiding here? Sarah left you here and went to play by herself. It's too wrong. Go to dance? If there is no dance partner, I can accompany you?" The words contained Great jump.
Xin Ai shook her head and refused. "Forget it. I don't like dancing. If you want to dance, go ahead. I'll just sit here."
Mike got up, sat down next to Xin Ai, took out a pack of white powder from his pocket to show Xin Ai, and mysteriously approached her ear and said: "I have something good here, do you want to taste it? Put it in the wine, after you drink it, I promise you will be very High in a while!"
Mike tore off the package of the powder, poured it into Xinai's champagne, shook it, and handed it to Xinai after the powder was fully mixed with the champagne. "I heard that you are still a virgin, how are you? Are you interested? There is a room upstairs. I'm good at kung fu. I promise to make you Higher Higher!"
While talking, Mike turned his head and blew hot air on Xinai's neck ambiguously, and also stuck out his tongue with great interest to lick Xinai's ear, his hands became dishonest, and started to grope Xinai's body .
After Mike took out the white powder, Xinai's face changed. She saw from the packaging of the bag that what Mike took out was not a drug, but a hallucinogen, but this kind of thing will still be addictive after a long time of use.As soon as they came to the United States, Yin's father and Yin's mother seriously warned Yin Junxi and Xin Ai not to be contaminated with these things.Even without the advice of Yin's father and Yin's mother, she already has an adult mind and would not drink this kind of wine mixed with drugs, so she didn't pick up the wine that Mike handed over.
At first, Mike's approach made Xinai feel uncomfortable, but when she heard his words, Xinai's face changed drastically. Before she could react, she felt the heat from Mike's mouth in her neck, and Xinai's goose bumps all over her body All up.Then Mike started to move his hands, and the flustered Xinai couldn't care about anything, and pushed Mike away, ignoring Mike who was pushed to the ground, got up and ran outside.
After escaping from the villa, Xin Ai ran out along the main road, and didn't stop until she was tired from running.Panting heavily, Xin Ai looked back and saw no one chasing her, so she felt relieved.At this time, Xin Ai found out that because she was too flustered when she left, she left her bag in the villa, and her wallet and mobile phone were in the bag.Even so, Xin Ai didn't have the courage to return to the villa to pick up the bag.
While walking down the mountain by herself, Xinai paid attention to the road, hoping to stop a passing car and give her a ride so that the other person could take her down the mountain.Xin Ai noticed a blue Lamborghini driving behind him, which was the same as the one Mike drove. She panicked and hid behind the trees next to the avenue, quietly looking at the car.
The car drove to the lane near Xinai, and stopped with a sudden brake.There was a man and a woman in the car. The two seemed to be arguing. Through the car window, Xin Ai couldn't hear what they were arguing about.Then I saw the woman who was driving opened the car window and dropped a mobile phone on the asphalt road. The mobile phone was immediately dismembered and scattered on the ground.The woman's behavior angered the man, and followed the man who didn't know what the man said to the woman. The woman pushed the man out of the car, made a goodbye gesture, closed the car door, stepped on the accelerator, and galloped away. Go, the man stood there jumping and scolding.The man was young and looked about the same age as Yin Junxi.
After watching the excitement, Xin Ai walked out from behind the tree, ready to continue walking.The man was very surprised when he saw Xin Ai, "There is a little mouse hiding here, and my uncle didn't notice it? What are you doing hiding there? Are you watching my uncle's joke?"
Xin Ai didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, she gave the man a sideways glance, and walked forward on her own.
"Hey, my uncle is talking to you, how dare you not answer me?" The man shouted loudly behind Xin Ai.
After walking a few steps, Xin Ai suddenly stopped and turned to ask him, "What's your name? Do you have a phone?" With a phone, you can use it to call a car after going down the mountain, and you can go back.
"How could I tell you my name so easily?" The man said in a tone of choice, "You can call me King."
"The phone made me drop that nasty sow just now." As soon as he mentioned it, the man became angry, and he said fiercely: "Hmph, damn sow, she dared to drop my things, how dare she throw me something!" Dare to leave my uncle on the way, she dares to treat me like this, she is dead. Wait, wait for this uncle..."
"King?" Xin Ai muttered to herself, thinking of Yin Junxi and Enxi's "prince" and "princess", her mood suddenly became very bad.Xin Ai was not in the mood to listen to the other party's harsh words, and interrupted him, "Then do you have money?"
"Of course." Seeing Xin Ai asked him such a question, King raised his head high and looked at her disdainfully. "Hmph, my uncle's family doesn't have much, only the most money."
Xinai turned a blind eye to the contempt of the other party, and continued to ask: "How much? Take it out and see." The clothes on this man are not only famous brands, but also obviously handmade. There should be enough money on him. She borrowed from him It should be fine for some money.
King reached out his hand to touch his pocket, but found nothing. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "My wallet was taken away by that nasty sow just now. But it's okay. When I get home, I want to If you want money, you have as much as you want." And the sow will not keep his wallet for too long, and she will give it back to him when he returns home.
Xinai sighed softly and asked, "Then where is your home?"
King said very proudly: "Long Island, New York."
Hearing the address reported by the other party, Xinai turned around and left without saying a word.I knew that the bastard in front of me couldn't be counted on.Long Island, New York is a good place, the most famous wealthy area in New York, but taxis are still not allowed there.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Even if you want to leave, why should you tell me in advance, why don't you say anything, leave me alone and run away?" The attitude is puzzled.In the past, once he reported his home address, the girls immediately surrounded him, trying to please him in every possible way, but how could Xinai avoid him instead?
Xinai ignored him, wanted to avoid him, and walked to the other side of the road, one of them didn't pay attention, slipped and fell to the ground, a piercing pain made Xinai burst into tears.
"How are you? Can you still go?" King stepped forward to help Xin Ai up, and asked with concern.Xinai tentatively put her feet on the ground and stepped forward.As long as the foot moved, it would be a piercing pain, and the foot could not touch the ground at all.She shook her head, she was powerless in this situation and couldn't leave.
King looked around, walked up to Xin Ai, squatted down, and said, "Come on, I will carry you on my back."
Xin Ai hesitated for a moment, then lay on King's back and asked him to carry her down the mountain.Although Xin Ai is not too heavy, but the other party is carrying her on his back, walking with a heavy load is not an easy task, and he will soon become tired and sweat profusely. King walked a long way with Xinai on his back, and no car passed by. He couldn't help complaining: "Why can't I see a car in this damn place."
Xin Ai asked the other party to put her down, took a rest, and explained casually: "The people who live here are either rich or expensive, and they have private cars when they go in and out." Pointing to the sun on the finger, she said: "It's noon now, who Will you go out at this time? If no one goes out, you will not see the car. As for here, taxis are not allowed to stop. If you want to take a taxi, you just need to go down the mountain and get out of this area. Just saw the car It's useless, do you have money for a taxi home?"
"I don't have it on me, do you have it?" King asked back.
Xin Ai took out twenty dollars and 57 cents from her pocket, and said, "This is what is left over from my morning meal, and it is all my property."
Seeing Xinai holding some money pitifully in his hand, King sighed and said, "Which school are you from?" If the money is enough, I will send you back to school first, and then you can lend me the money.
"Jocrest Ladies Mission High School." That's not enough money to go back to school.Without waiting for the other party to open her mouth, Xin Ai said again: "My family is also in New York." It was not enough to go home.
"Ah, it's the school for widows. I've heard about it. I heard that it only recruits girls, not boys. Even the teachers who teach are women, and many of them are old maids who can't get married..."
Xin likes to listen to the other party's evaluation of his school, so she interrupts him. "It's not that exaggerated. Although it is a girls' school, there are still male teachers in the school. Also, the teachers and the others refuse to get married. It's not that they can't get a wife, or that they can't get married, but they dedicate their body and mind to theirs. Faith." This is also a characteristic of schools with religious backgrounds.
Having had enough rest, King picked up his heart and continued to walk down the mountain.After finally walking down the mountain and out of the rich area, the man asked Xin Ai: "What should we do now?"
Xin Ai thought for a while and said: "Find a public phone, and then you call home and ask your family to come here to pick you up." By the way, take me for a ride.
"Okay." King walked down the street with Xinai on his back, looked left and right, and finally saw a public phone booth, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over to Xinai.
King first put down Xin Ai from his back.Then Xinai took out the money, handed it to him, pointed to the phone booth, and said, "Go in and call, remember to tell the address clearly, and ask your family to send someone to pick you up. Also, to make a long story short." There is not much money.
"You don't need to remind me, I also know." King awkwardly took the money from Xin Ai, turned and entered the phone booth.Xin Ai stood outside and saw him pick up the microphone, standing there motionless, without pressing a button for a long time.Finally he dropped the phone, turned and walked out of the phone booth.
Xin Ai asked suspiciously: "Didn't I ask you to call home and ask them to pick you up? Why didn't you call? What were you thinking? Why didn't you call?"
No matter how Xin Ai asked, King lowered his head, didn't make a sound, raised his head after a while, and said with a gloomy face, "I don't remember the phone number."
Hearing this, Xin Ai only felt that her breath was choked in the middle of her throat. She was full of depression, and really didn't know what to say to the other party. "You idiot, you can't even remember your phone number, what else do you think you can do?"
King retorted stiffly. "I don't need you to comment on my work! I have so many things to do every day, how can I have the time to memorize phone numbers? Besides, remembering phone numbers is such a trivial matter that I still need to do it. As long as there is a mobile phone Here, just look for it when you need it.”
Seeing the other party's attitude of taking it for granted, Xin Ai was furious. "Yes, you don't need to remember the phone number, you just need to remember it in your mobile phone. Then tell me, where is your mobile phone? Now you don't remember your home phone number, so tell me, how do you go back?"
"I can do whatever I want, I don't need you to teach me!" King was also angry when he was reprimanded by Xin Ai. "You're not an idiot, so you should remember your home phone number. Just call your home and let them pick you up." It doesn't matter who picks you up, so why do you have to have another home.
"If I can contact my family, how can I count on you?" Xin Ai said angrily.Today's matter clearly cannot be known by Yin's father and Yin's mother.She finally got the consent of Yin's father and Yin's mother to study in a boarding school.If they knew, they would have reluctantly agreed to allow her to continue boarding outside.She didn't want to go home, and she did so.
"Then what should we do now?" King asked Xin Ai.The two of them have no money and can't contact their families, so they can't just wait here, can they?
Xinai stood leaning against the public telephone booth, looked around, saw a musical instrument store not far away, her eyes lit up, and said, "Hey, let me tell you, what musical instruments do you know?" Usually learn one or two instruments.
"My uncle knows a lot, and they are all at a professional level. Like piano, drums, saxophone,..."
Xinai quickly interrupted him. "Stop, stop, can you say something reliable? Those are far away, we can't reach them."
"What do you mean? Why are they unreliable? Why are they out of reach?" King was puzzled by Xinai's words.
Xin Ai shook the money that King returned just now in her hand, and said, "I mean, estimate the musical instruments that I can buy with this little money in my hand, which one would you like?"
"You still want to buy a musical instrument with such a small amount of money?" King couldn't believe it, he felt that Xin Ai was completely whimsical.
Seeing King's expression, Xin Ai understood that although the person in front of him is not so unreal, the things he uses are definitely not cheap, and it is a waste of time to talk to him.Xin Ai pointed to the musical instrument store and said directly: "Help me, let's go there and have a look."
Entering the musical instrument store, the shopkeeper saw that the two were wearing high-end products, and Xinai was noncommittal.After looking at it for a while, the cheapest western musical instruments in the store could not be bought. Xin Ai interrupted the owner's eloquent introduction and asked directly: "Sorry, we only have twenty dollars and 57 cents, can I buy them in your store?" What kind of instrument is there?"
"Twenty dollars and 57 cents?" The shopkeeper was stunned, unable to react for a while, and repeated foolishly.How could it be possible for such a small amount of money? It doesn't look like it's dressed.
Xinai nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, we only have twenty dollars and 57 cents. Please tell me, what kind of musical instrument can we buy?"
The shopkeeper came to his senses, thought for a while, and brought some Chinese national musical instruments from the warehouse behind, including xun, bamboo flute, bamboo flute, gourd silk, erhu, etc.The shopkeeper pointed to them and said: "A few years ago, I became obsessed with Chinese Kungfu, and then bought a lot of Chinese musical instruments. These were leftovers from the sale at that time. You can choose and see." can buy.
Xinai turned to look at King and said, "Which one of these would you like?"
When Xin Ai was talking to the shopkeeper, King hid aside. He didn't believe that such a small amount of money could buy a musical instrument. He didn't expect that he could actually buy it. He walked up to have a look, and immediately frowned. , Disgusted and said: "What are these? The workmanship is so rough, can it be used?" It can't be used at all.
"You talk so much nonsense. Come on, which one do you know?" Xin Ai was angry, and it was rare for the shopkeeper to be kind and willing to bother to help. He was still picking and choosing here.
"Why would my uncle touch such low-level things?" King looked disgusted, dismissing those musical instruments, thinking that they were not musical instruments at all, but rubbish.
Xin Ai had no energy to argue with King, so she thought for a while and asked, "Can you play the flute?"
"Of course. My uncle is a good player." King said without hesitation, with a bit of complacency.
Hearing his answer, Xinai picked up the bamboo flute inside, handed it to him, and said, "Take it, since you can play the flute, you should also be able to play the flute." The pronunciation principles of the two are similar, fingering and hand shape Also similar.Now that one is proficient in one, the other is not difficult to get started.
King frantically took the bamboo flute in his hands, looked it over carefully, and hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, these two are different things, okay?"
Xinai ignored him, turned around to ask the price, and then chatted with the shopkeeper for a long time. After spending a long time, she spent twenty dollars and thirty cents to buy the flute in King's hand and a half-used one. And some frayed harmonicas. King was very surprised when he heard Xinai bargaining at the beginning. He didn't expect to be able to bargain when buying things. For him, this knowledge was the first time he had encountered it.
After buying something worth more than 20 dollars, he still bargained. When King realized it, his face turned blue, and he felt that he had never been so ashamed in his life.If he hadn't talked with Xin Ai just now, and Xin Ai was injured and couldn't leave alone, he would want to leave now, pretending that he didn't know her.
King tried to stop Xin Ai before, hoping that she would not continue such embarrassing behavior.However, I don't know if it's because the blocking action he used was too subtle and unobtrusive, or because Xin Ai didn't receive it well.King, who couldn't leave, could only choose to stand far away, pretending to appreciate the musical instruments in the store, and keep a distance from Xinai.
After negotiating the price, when the two left, King was thinking about apologizing to the shop owner for taking up such a long time and buying such a worthless little thing.Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper took out a colorful cowboy hat with a smile and handed it to Xin Ai, "Hehe, little girl, you are so interesting. Come to my shop next time if you need it, and I will give you a discount. I I think you will need this for your performance in a while, so I lent you this, use it, and return it when you run out. I don’t close until nine o’clock.”
Xinai thanked the other party and took the hat with a smile.Seeing this scene, King only felt that the world he had always known seemed to be different.
Helping Xin Ai out of the musical instrument store, King asked her: "Where are we going next?" He still hasn't figured out what kind of medicine is sold in Xin Ai's gourd.
Xinai looked at the surrounding environment and said: "Go to the square or the subway station, or other places, it's fine. Look at it, in short, a place with a lot of people will do."
King, who didn't know why, brought Xin Ai to the subway station, and came to a promenade with various advertisements and promotions. Xin Ai asked King to stop. Hurry up and get acquainted with the bamboo flute, and I will perform it for everyone in a while." She said and put the hat lent to her by the shopkeeper on the ground.
"You actually asked me to do this?" King, who finally understood what Xinai was up to, was so angry that he jumped on his feet, and refused: "You give up, I will not do this kind of thing, it has nothing to do with begging what a difference."
"How is this begging? The so-called begging is getting something for nothing. We are a street performer. If someone is willing to give money, it is an affirmation of our talent."
Seeing that King was indifferent to her words, he had an attitude of not cooperating with me.Xin Ai sighed helplessly, and persuaded earnestly: "As a performer, it is wrong to be picky about the stage and despise the audience. This is not a correct attitude..."
"Tch!" King pointed at the passers-by with eyes full of disdain. "Is this the audience you're talking about?" Looking at the corridor again, "Is this the stage you're talking about? I'm not blind, I have eyes. You're trying to fool me, but it's a bit close." King confirmed the core An act of love is street begging.
"Why can't this be considered a stage? How can they not be the audience? Yes, many of them don't wear formal clothes, but there is no difference between them and those who go to the theater to listen to the performance. They have ears just like them. When we perform here, compared with the big theater, the audience is larger and the stage is wider. In your eyes, is it right to just sit in the opera house and listen to the performance in suits and ties and evening gowns? Those people, they go in You also need to pay for a ticket to listen to the performance. Can you go in for free without buying a ticket? What is the big difference between the money for buying a ticket and the money these people give us for listening to our performance? They are all paid according to their work .”
"Okay, you think it's ugly. You can do it if you don't want to. I will do it myself. I made money and I will go back to school by myself. Don't you dislike it? Just right, I don't want to use my hard-earned money for you. You Just stay here, don't go home." Seeing that King had already wavered, Xin Ai gave another final blow.
"Hmph." King said arrogantly, "You do it yourself? Could it be that you can play the flute? If not, what performance do you use?" His eyes fell on the old harmonica, "You probably want to use it to play the flute. Can you play this harmonica? This harmonica is not only old, but also one side of the cover is sunken in. I don’t know if the reeds inside can still be used. You still plan to use it to play, what a joke!” It’s already broken It's gone, it can't be used anymore, don't count on me in the end.
Although King had bowed his head, Xinai didn't directly agree to him, picked up the harmonica, shook it in front of King's eyes, and said, "It's okay, I've seen it, although the outer cover is deflated and rusty, but It’s still good inside, so don’t delay the performance.” It’s okay without you.As he spoke, he put it to his mouth and blew it, and it was not broken, and the sound was not bad.
"The vocal range is so bad, it's so messy here, it's so noisy, who can hear you clearly, let me do it." King picked up the bamboo flute messenger and started playing. Although it was a little rusty at first, but Soon he found a rhythm and played coherently.After blowing one section smoothly, King fiddled with the bamboo flute in his hand in distaste, his face full of disgust. "Hmph, the workmanship is rough, and the sound quality is mediocre. Fortunately, my uncle has a high level of playing skills, otherwise the things he blows out cannot be heard at all."
"Yes, yes, you are amazing, you have a high level, I admire you so much." Now that the other party has agreed to start performing, Xin Ai does not want to make any troubles, and caresses the tsundere cat in front of her.
The crisp flute sounded in the subway station.Xin Ai stood behind King with a harmonica and smiled wryly. He was right. In such a noisy environment here, the sound of the harmonica is relatively low. If you don’t get close, you can’t hear it clearly at all. It’s really not suitable for playing here.Regardless of whether it is suitable or not, when King finishes playing a piece of music, Xinai plays the harmonica to give King time to rest.
As the two played, a lot of coins were thrown into the hats in front of them intermittently by passers-by who stopped and admired them. Looking at the coins and banknotes inside, Xin Xinxin estimated the values.Estimating that there is enough money in it, Xin Ai signaled King to stop, collected the money, and the two left the subway station.
When King bent over to pick up the hat, Xinai saw the famous watch on his wrist, and the diamonds on it made her eyes hurt.Xin Ai couldn't help falling to her feet and sighing, she's such a fool, just because she doesn't have money, doesn't mean she doesn't have worthless things.If this watch is sent to a pawn shop, ten times the travel expenses will be paid out, and it will be fine to redeem it after returning home, so there is no need for her to make such a strenuous plan.It's just that it's too late to say anything now.Eat a pit, gain a wisdom, remember it in the future.
First went to the musical instrument store to return the boss's hat. King stood at the corner of the street with Xin Ai on his arm and asked, "Where shall we go next? Do you want to go to the hospital to see your feet?"
It's fine for the two of them to go home by car with this little money, but it's definitely not enough to go to the hospital to see a doctor, not to mention that she doesn't have all the documents with her, and she can't go to the hospital.Xin Ai shook her head and said, "No, it's about this time, let's find a place to eat first."
Seeing King leading her to a high-end restaurant, Xin Ai quickly stopped.Then at the request of Xin Ai, the two went to KFC for fast food. King took a bite of the hamburger, swallowed it reluctantly, put it aside, refused to eat any more, and said with a disgusted face: "What the hell is this, I can't eat it at all. The vegetables are not fresh, and I don't know how to use them for salads." What is it made of, it smells weird,..."
Seeing that King's complaints attracted the attention of people around him, Xin Ai hurriedly interrupted him. "My young master, don't be picky, can you? Do you really think this is your kitchen? Such a large table of food is less than a hundred dollars. It's not bad to make it like this. What's your dissatisfaction if you can eat enough?" of?"
"These things are less than a hundred dollars?" King looked at the table full of food, full of surprise, eyes full of disbelief, it was really incredible.He felt that the time spent with Xin Ai made him re-understand the world, and many things subverted his understanding.
"Do you want to go home? If you go back, I'll give you the money, and you can go there and take the car." After getting out of KFC, she went to the handicraft store to buy a walking stick, and Xinai shared half of the money left over from the meal between the two of them. For King, pointing in the direction of the station.
"Aren't you with me?" King asked
