v7 Chapter 212： Gwen's New Life in London

After falling out with Peter, Gwen decided to accept the invitation of the University of London to become a special year exchange student.

In various ways, the University of London is more famous in the global academic field than New York University.

And as one of the earliest universities established in the world, the historical status of the University of London is also very high.

The choice to go to London is actually not simply because of Peter's considerations.

Considering its academic major and future, University of London is a good choice.

At the same time, the universities that Britain invited to Gwen are Brown University and Cambridge University, which are the top universities in the world.

But Gwen finally chose London.

However, traveling thousands of miles, it is not easy to live in London alone. Although both are English-speaking countries, American English and British English are slightly different.

Mainly lies in the way of speaking, and some of the utterances in sentence breaking, as well as some subtle differences in pronunciation.

Of course, this is not very troublesome for Gwen. She has a good learning ability.

But living in London still has a lot of inconveniences. The most important thing is the problem of housing.

Of course, the school provides student apartments, but it is currently closed during the summer vacation.

Gwen came to London one month in advance in order to get used to the life in London first, so as not to have unaccustomed places in the future school life, and then adjust.

There are no student apartments, so you can only rent a house in London.

But like all megacities around the world, rents in London are prohibitively high and even more expensive than New York.

In London, £ 500 a month, you can only rent a sofa in the living room. This is not an exaggeration, there is only one sofa for you to sleep at night. You are not allowed to use anything else in the house.

The British are very rigid, saying that the rental is a sofa, then there is only a sofa.

If you want to live in a house, even the worst single room will cost more than two thousand pounds.

And if you want a slightly better house, the three thousand pounds can't run away.

Many people in London spend half of their monthly income on rent.

For Gwen, she is no longer in New York, so it is impossible to get the job income provided by Osborne Group to supplement her household.

Although she has deposited more than 20,000 US dollars in recent years. But the monthly rent of more than 3,000 pounds is too expensive for her.

And although her father George is the deputy chief of the New York City Police Department, the annual salary is more than two hundred thousand dollars.

But she doesn't really want to spend her father's money now. She came out to seek independence.

And now is a special time for his father to participate in the general election. The British paparazzi are the ancestors of the world.

Gwen did not want to be used by her father to make news for her father.

So under the guidance of the school teacher, she and a sister of her own shared rent.

This sister is a graduate student in astronomy and physics. Currently doing research with professors of astrophysics at the University of London.

Because the institute will not be closed during the summer vacation, and the professor of astronomy will not stop the research at hand.

So this school sister is also working in the summer vacation. Go to the institute during the day and come back to sleep at night.

Although it is not good to talk about others behind, Gwen has always doubted whether this schoolgirl is a real institute.

Because from her dress and style, she sometimes gives the appearance of an underground rock singer.

And coldly, speaking is not very comfortable. Gwen hasn't spoken to her for more than three sentences for so long.

Outside of knowing that her name was Daisy, Gwen knew nothing about her. This roommate relationship seems a bit too bad.

But Daisy didn't seem to care. Every day she leaves early and returns late, Gwen can't see her, and finally gives up her plans to have a good relationship with her.

In a two-bedroom shared room, each of them does not interfere with each other.

By the way, in order to save yourself a small amount of savings, at least before you find a suitable part-time job.

Gwen decided to save money and live a life, one of the most critical is to cook for himself.

Everything in London is expensive, and eating is no exception. Ten pounds can hardly eat anything.

Even if the vegan buffet is about twelve pounds, Gwen heard that the school cafeteria may be more expensive.

It would be terrible if a month ’s food expenses reached 1,000 pounds.

Of course, it is not without cheap, some country restaurants can provide a set menu of 19 pounds. Bring a main course of meat, vegetables, soup and staple food unlimited. (Of course vegetables are mainly broccoli, potatoes and purple cabbage.)

But this is still expensive for Gwen. So the old lady who didn't touch Yangchunshui with her ten fingers has already started to learn how to cook. And it's done decently.

When Gwen met Li Jie, she was holding a big brown paper bag. It contained her food for five days. She couldn't hold her weight.

However, after meeting Li Jie, this kind of rough work was naturally handed over to Li Jie.

"Come in!" Gwen smiled and greeted Li Jie to his new residence in London.

An apartment in a community near the university and about 25 minutes by bicycle.

This is a very simple apartment. There is basically nothing but the necessary living facilities.

Not even a TV, nor air conditioning. Although air conditioning is not needed in London in the summer.

But Li Jie thinks it's best to have an air conditioner, because the room is a little damp, and the air conditioner can at least get wet.

"You live here?" Li Jie asked Gwen in surprise. Because such accommodation is really not good.

Li Jie noticed that the wallpaper at the corners of the apartment was already mildewed, and the wall skin was slightly warped, which proved how damp the house was.

Living here is not a comfortable thing. Clothes are easily moldy, and the smell of the room is not very good.

Although Gwen had already opened the window to ventilate as soon as he returned home.

But Gwen waved indifferently: "It's not like learning to live alone on the outside. This is the cheapest house I can find near the university. And it's actually better than other houses."

"I heard that some student apartments are too old, and the conditions may not be as good as this." Gwen invited Li Jie to sit down after opening all the windows. And poured him a glass of water.

"It's only water. I didn't buy any other drinks besides milk." Gwen said with some regret: "But if you give milk to drink, it feels very strange."

"No, the water is fine." Li Jie smiled and looked at Gwen.

He noticed that several wounds on Gwen's finger had not subsided. He frowned: "What's wrong with your hand? Are you in trouble in the UK?"

Li Jie took Gwen's hand and took a closer look. Ok? It doesn't look like it was intentionally hurt.

The thin wound looks more like being cut by a knife.

Gwen smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, nightwalker. I haven't met anyone who bullied me in London."

Talking, Gwen drew his hand and walked to the open kitchen. While chatting with Li Jie, he put the ingredients he had just bought into the refrigerator. At the same time took out a large piece of chicken breast and some vegetables.

She said: "It's just some of the tuition for practicing cooking. How about having a meal here and going back if you're not in a hurry? Let the chef try my cooking skills."

Gwen spoke and winked at Li Jie. Li Jie was really a little surprised this time. Gwen never cooked before. Well, if it was a salad, she would use mayonnaise to make a salad.

As for other dishes, it is completely forced.

Li Jie looked at Gwen's rusty knife technique while guiding her to use cat's claw to cut vegetables. Also chatting with her at the same time.

"How do you know that I am a night walker?" Li Jie asked, leaning on the sofa and watching Gwenchee.

"It's not hard to guess, isn't it, Peter has told me that he's Spider-Man. It's difficult to count from zero to one, but it's not difficult to count from one to two." Gwen used a half-raised knife to divide the chicken.

"If Peter is Spider-Man, then from his various words and deeds to match you ~ www.novelhall.com ~ It is not difficult to guess who is the nightwalker. If you want to blame, blame Peter to confess to me." Ge Wen said with a smug smile.

Well, Gwen ’s cleverness is nothing to say. Especially she is very familiar with Li Jie.

"Then you, Jason. How did you run from New York to London? Don't tell me you are traveling or visiting me." Gwen was a little curious.

"Oh, I said it was banished." Li Jie shook his head. Now that Gwen has guessed who he is, it makes no sense to hide things.

He directly told what happened. As a result, Gwen smiled and was almost cut into his hands by the knife again.

"You were taken away by the man for the first kiss? Hahahaha!" Gwen almost laughed at this, and Li Jie almost doubted that she would take her to the hospital.

"Yeah, it's not suitable for Spider-Man. Isn't it consistent with the plot you wrote?" Li Jie thought of the script written by Gwen and the book Ivy painted. Can't help saying.

Gwen drew a baguette from the bag and stuffed it directly into Li Jie's mouth.

She said angrily: "Enough! Don't talk anymore!"

When the characters and things in the plots you write become people around you and are used to talk to yourself, then those things you have done will become your own black history.

Li Jie shrugged and took a big bite of French bread. Well, it's a bit too hard. Li Jie doesn't like this taste.

Finally Gwen made a salt-fried chicken breast and a parmesan cheese roasted tomato and milk-fried mushrooms to entertain Li Jie.

Although the chicken was fried, it was a little firewood. Moreover, neither tomato nor mushroom tastes good, but Li Jie feels that Gwen's has really changed a little.

Just as the two were eating Gwen's dinner, the knock on the door rang.
