002, pick up
“…welcome_to_new_york!”
When the flight to New York finally arrived at Kennedy International Airport in southeastern Queens, a broadcast of roughly blessed a happy journey was played on the plane after thirteen or fourteen hours. Finally, when the flight attendant opened the cabin door and the people on the plane began to get off the plane one after another.
Gu Xing sat in his seat without moving, but looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, with a calm expression without any turbulence.
Although this was his first time abroad, he did not have any emotional fluctuations.
The passengers on the plane are both men and women, white, black and yellow, and basically they talk in English. Gu Xing had learned English long ago, and he could basically understand all the English learned in high school except for the too obscure and rare English words.
The conversations of the people around him were nothing more than daily chats. Gu Xing was not very interested. He sat in his seat and looked out the window, preparing to leave after most of the people left.
Because when taking the plane from China, parents participated in the whole process of booking tickets and preparations. At the request of his parents on the grounds of "saving", he did not take the first class cabin, but took the economy class, which made him feel a little crowded when he got off the plane. He didn't like it very much, so he had to wait for someone to leave first.
When I boarded the plane in China, it was around noon during the day. After thirteen or fourteen hours of flight, it was still noon during the day and it was almost afternoon during the day. Of course, it was because of the time difference. The time difference between New York and China was nearly twelve hours. It was daytime, and it should have been night in China.
The passengers who got off the plane all had a little tired face. After more than ten hours of flight, although they were able to sleep, the seats on the plane were not very comfortable to sleep, and they were not able to fall asleep anytime and anywhere. Therefore, most people probably need to go to the jet lag after getting off the plane.
This fatigue certainly has no effect on Gu Xing.
However, he sat in the seat and did not move seemed to cause a misunderstanding. A tall and beautiful stewardess came to him and asked in English with concern: "Sir, are you_you_ok?" (Sir, are you okay?)"
He took the direct flight of Air China, and the flight attendant was a Chinese. However, because it was an international flight, when he couldn't tell whether Gu Xing was a Chinese, Korean or Japanese, the flight attendant still spoke English uniformly.
Gu Xing shook his head and replied in Chinese: "It's okay, it's too crowded. I'll wait for less people before leaving."
When the beautiful flight attendant heard this, she smiled in understanding and then retreated to her position when she came.
Soon, the people were almost gone, and Gu Xing also carried his salute on his backpack, got up from the seat, and got off the plane.
The process of getting off the plane abroad is not much different from that of domestic flights.
Gu Xing walked along the airport passage and walked past one passenger who had just got off the plane first and arrived at the pick-up gate.
"A true junior high school student should be at the pick-up gate."
Walking out of the pick-up port, Gu Xing looked around at the crowd of pick-up porters, searching for the signs with his name written on it.
Since April, after his admission to Columbia University was confirmed, Gu Panhui, Wu Ying and his uncle Gu Pansheng were all busy with his overseas trip.
It was not what he asked for, but the enthusiastic and proactive "help" by others.
Gu Panhui and Wu Ying became sensitive to foreign news or things. They didn't know where to find out a lot of things in the United States were right and wrong and kept telling Gu Xing to pay attention to safety, not like this or that.
Compared to them, it is much more normal for uncle Gu Pansheng’s house.
Gu Pansheng said that he would hire a translator who was proficient in American culture to go with Gu Xing and help Gu Xing deal with matters in the United States throughout the process. This was quickly rejected by Gu Pansheng and Wu Ying. One reason was distrust, the other reason was that male translator was afraid of leading Gu Xing to badly lead Gu Xing, and the female translator was afraid that Gu Xing would accidentally go wrong.
Anyway, it just doesn't work.
In the end, the result of the discussion was that Gu Zhenzhen contacted her good friend in junior high school and went to New York to study in junior high school to help take care of Gu Xing. Of course, it must be a human relationship for help, but Gu Zhenzhen didn't say that, obviously she wanted Gu Xing to find someone to rescue Gu Pansheng.
Gu Xing didn't ask.
After glanced at the crowd at the pick-up gate, Gu Xing's five senses of qualitative change, he immediately saw a sign in the crowd holding up two Chinese characters "Gu Xing".
Gu Xing's eyes were fixed on this sign, and he looked at the person holding the sign while walking over.
The person holding the sign was a man and a woman. The man looked over 20 years old, about 1.756 meters tall, with average appearance, and some characteristics of the eyes in his facial features. He looked like he had not opened his eyes, and he looked like he had not opened his eyes, a slit. The woman was ten years old, Gu Xing could not tell from the other person's skin, because Gu Xing was wearing thick makeup, flaming red lips, and sunglasses. He didn't look like he was ten years old at all.
After Gu Xing walked straight towards the two of them, they also found Gu Xing. After hesitantly looking at the photos of his mobile phone and comparing Gu Xing's real person, he finally confirmed Gu Xing's identity.
After confirming Gu Xing's identity, the girl wearing heavy makeup immediately waved to Gu Xing with a smile.
Soon, the two sides met.
"You are the real cousin Gu Xing?"
The girl with big thick makeup and bright red lips asked with a smile.
Gu Xing nodded and replied politely: "You are really good friend Chen Xiaoxin?"
"yes!"
Chen Xiaoxin laughed and circled Gu Xing exaggeratedly. After looking up and down, he smiled and said, "It's true that there is no exaggeration. You are really a handsome guy!"
Chen Xiaoxin was a good friend of Gu Zhenzhen when he was in junior high school. After graduating from junior high school, he came to the United States to study in a private high school here. In terms of time, he had been in the United States for two years. His way of speaking seemed to be a bit direct and direct. In general, few people in China praised him so directly in person.
But Gu Xing was not embarrassed, just smiled faintly, looked at the boy next to him, and asked politely: "This is..."
"I am Xiaoxin's boyfriend."
The squinting boy smiled shyly, "My name is Xie Xiaodong."
"Chen Xiaoxin, Xie Xiaodong, it's still a couple's name."
Gu Xing joked.
In the future, I will ask these two people to help him get familiar with the United States. In addition, these two people are ordinary people and are friends with Gu Zhenzhen, so he naturally won’t have a stern face.
"Haha, I haven't noticed it if you don't say it."
Xie Xiaodong scratched his head and said with a shy smile.
Chen Xiaoxin, who was standing beside him, curled his lips and kept looking at Gu Xing with great interest, without moving away at all.
Gu Xing had naturally noticed it a long time ago, and his brows were slightly frowned and then quickly recovered, completely pretending that he hadn't seen it.
"Or why we get in the car first. It's still a little distance from Manhattan and it takes a lot of time to drive. Let's talk about it in the car."
Xie Xiaodong suggested with a hesitant expression.
In response to this, Gu Xing nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
Chen Xiaoxin naturally had no objection. The three of them walked out of the airport together. During this period, the sign with Gu Xing's name was not thrown away. Instead, they walked outside the airport and brought a very sexy purple-gold muscle car together.
The muscle car is a very classic American model. It is rare in China or not seen at all. However, Americans seem to think that this car is very cool. In American films and TV series, this kind of car often appears when you go out for a coquettish look.
Originally, Chen Xiaoxin and Xie Xiaodong were looking forward to Gu Xing's expression when they saw the borrowed muscle car, but Gu Xing had no expression changes at all, which made them feel very hurt.
After putting the sign in the trunk, the three of them got into the car together.
Gu Xing sat in the back row, Xie Xiaodong drove, and Chen Xiaoxin sat in the co-pilot.
In the roaring engine, this sexy purple-gold muscle car slowly started to go on the road.
"I heard from Zhenzhen that you were admitted to Columbia University and came here alone to study?"
Shortly after the car was on the road, Chen Xiaoxin, the co-pilot, looked back at Gu Xing curiously and asked.
Gu Xing nodded politely and replied: "Yes."
"Are you still a top student?"
Chen Xiaoxin looked surprised.
Gu Xing smiled slightly, which was considered an admission.
"Gu Xing, have you found your house?"
Xie Xiaodong, who was driving, asked.
Gu Xing shook his head and said, "Not yet, stay in a hotel first, look for it slowly. Anyway, it's nearly two months before the start of school in Brother's University."
Columbia University starts in August, and today is June 5th, and there are nearly two months left.
Gu Xing only brought a set of clothes and related visas, passports, admission letters from Columbia University, etc., not many things.
He didn't bring any other things that could be purchased with money, and he planned to buy them here.
In terms of money, now he has obtained the assets of his master Zhan Fuping, which are almost tens of millions - of course, this is the total assets, not cash.
But if there is no accident, he will soon receive a very huge amount of funds.
That was one of his demands on the country!
“Stay in a hotel?”
Xie Xiaodong and Chen Xiaoxin were both surprised when they heard his words.
"This is the first time I have seen an international student like you who has no parents to handle everything and come here alone to slowly get these things."
Xie Xiaodong smiled and said, "If you don't dislike it, come to the house we rented and live together. There is a room in our place that is empty."
"Yes, let's live in our house."
Chen Xiaoxin also invited with a smile.
House is the kind of house that is often seen in American movies. Generally, overseas students will rent a house like this together to live in. Of course, it is not for learning and communication, but for everyone to go crazy together.
"Let's take a look at this. When school starts, I will probably go to the dormitory of Columbia University according to regulations. I am afraid that if I move out, I will cause trouble for you if I move out."
Gu Xing thought about it and said.
Of course this is not the reason, but he doesn't want to live with others at all, because in the days to come, he will inevitably conduct some research that is not suitable for people to discover...
"All right."
Hearing Gu Xing's words, Xie Xiaodong didn't force himself and said with a smile: "Then let's take you to the hotel near the house we rented first, and then take you to visit New York to get to know each other."
"Okay, please trouble you."
Gu Xing smiled and said, "But before this, please answer me with your phone first. I'll call my parents to report safety first."
