“amy,Happy birthday。” I was standing in the reception hall in a white dress designed by a famous designer. All kinds of young boys and girls came in and said hello to me in English with a smile.
I have a close look, in addition to my school friends, there are many genuine whitening people, these are near my community, many of them are the children of my grandmother's friends, most of them are in their 20s.
Watching them one by one come in and hug me, speak American English, exaggerate the expression, no scruples of ridicule, I slightly frowned.
No one understands grandma's mind better than me.
She thinks I'm old enough to have a boyfriend.
Therefore, today's invitation to the scene is basically the object of my prospective boyfriend in her mind.
These invited people, boys and girls, are all upper class aristocrats.
Having been here for three years, I know that the solidified class in the United States is very serious.
For example, there are few Asians here who can get to the top.
But my grandmother Wei Peishan started here. Weishi group has a good reputation here, and its products are accepted by people here.
My grandmother is a natural social expert. She knows a lot of upper class people here, including politicians.
just
After three years here, I didn't feel that kind of intimacy. Instead, I felt alienated.
I went to a famous school. There are people all over the world, but most of them are in the upper class. No one here will discriminate against me. But I don't like this kind of atmosphere. Even in the same class, I can't integrate into the different customs. Although they are very friendly to me, their inherent sense of discrimination against Asians makes me uncomfortable and disgusted
.
I only like my hometown a city“ Amy。” After I had a fight with some of my classmates, I leaned against the balcony bar with a red wine glass and looked at the crescent moon hanging in the sky. Suddenly, a hand was on my shoulder. I turned to see that Ben was holding it
A glass of red wine stood beside me, smiling at me, "what's the matter? Are you thinking of me? "
"Cut." I knocked off his hand, "I don't think anyone will miss you. Don't be so amorous."
Ben drank the red wine and shrugged his shoulders. "Don't be so unfeeling, little girl. What's wrong with me? Look at me. I'm handsome, rich and powerful. It's OK with you."
Ben finished, holding the glass in front of me, gracefully turned a circle.
I was amused by his expression“ Can be can, but feelings of this kind of thing, is really very strange, I just have no interest in you, can only sigh we have no fate, but you can not lose heart, wait for the next life, next life I will let you do my boyfriend I
He patted the back of his hand and said frankly.
Ben made a funny expression and laughed: "little girl, in fact, I'll bet you that as long as I go after you, you will promise me."
"Stop stinking and look at yourself in the mirror first." I smile, mercilessly hit him, "no matter how you change is not my favorite dish, I advise you to work less."
Ben is a Chinese American. As early as the 1950s and 1960s, his parents immigrated here, which is also the upper class here.
He speaks fluent English and French, and of course Mandarin is fluent. During the three years in the whole university, because he and I were both Asian, he and I had a good relationship. We often played funny games and even forced each other. Even when we talked, we were never polite. We would never let each other die
Hugh, of course, he won't be angry. He and I are as free as brothers. Compared with him, for those pure and beautiful boys in the school, I have to deal with them from the bottom of my heart. Maybe it's because I cherish each other. When Ben and I are brothers, we have no secrets. We will be friends for a long time
Fang is his best friend.
Ben has a Chinese name, yinglang. I usually call him this Chinese name. He also said that it sounds very friendly, so I don't call him his English name.
"Little girl." At this time, yinglang held the wine glass, looked at the moon with his arms around his chest, and asked, "you are about to graduate from university. Do you have any plans? Back inland or stay here? "
What he said aroused my homesickness. At the same time, there was a surge of joy in my heart, as if I had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"I must go back to my hometown. I want to go back to my parents." I almost did not think about the answer.
Yinglang smiles and looks at the smiling young American boy in the banquet hall. He shakes his head: "I'm afraid you can't be the master."
"Why can't you be the master?" I asked strangely, "I'm going back in just over a month. I've been preparing things all this time. I want to go back. It's not up to me to decide."
With another smile, yinglang pointed to the boys in the banquet hall and whispered to me, "look, so many boys are the best. Your grandmother, everyone knows Sima Zhao's way of thinking."
When he said that, my face turned red.
"Don't tell me that. My grandmother doesn't mean it." I deliberately said, but the bottom of my heart is also beating the drum.
How can I not know such an occasion and such a purpose, even if yinglang is seen by others?
Recently, my grandmother is always beating about the bush. I've been pretending that I don't understand.
Yinglang chuckled beside me: "little girl, I'll bet you that your grandmother wants you to stay here and want you to find an American man to be your husband."
"Nonsense, it's impossible." My face is black.
"Hey, hey." The hero laughs.
"I'll bet you who loses is the dog." I'm not convinced.
"Fight on the fight, who is afraid of who, wise as I, never read things wrong." Yinglang, that's a thief. He is confident to bet with me.
"Well, you must be wrong this time." With a strange smile, I took his arm and said, "come on, I'll show you something."
As soon as yinglang heard that he was interested, he immediately followed me.
I took him to the study and made him stand with his back to me.
I opened the drawer, took out a diary, opened one of the pages, then took out two tickets and said to him, "yinglang, turn around and see what this is?"
Yinglang turned around and looked, his eyes black: "Hey, isn't this the ticket? Why are you leaving soon?"
"Of course not." I smile triumphantly, "this is what I ordered in advance. As soon as I graduate, I will fly back the next day."
After that, he approached him and said in a low voice, "don't tell me about it. Only you and I know about it. I don't plan to come here as soon as I get back inland."
Yinglang's eyes are very bright: "it seems that you are really determined."“ Of course. " I once again proud smile, "you don't think who I am, I make up my mind that no one can change."
