Chapter 3 - Don't Get Sick Again

I thought it was the first day in a foreign country that would be extremely exciting, but the world was a little unhappy.After helping Ji Guiye carry his luggage, he went out alone to find something to eat without waiting for him.After wandering around the school for a long time, I didn't see a Chinese restaurant, so I had to find a Mexican restaurant and eat a terrible meatloaf.

Looking at the girls wearing all kinds of suspenders and the shiny foreign boys around him, he didn't feel the throbbing of arriving in a foreign country at all, but just stared blankly at the phone screen.He had already bought a local phone card just now, but there was no news from his father yet.Also, it is 4:50 am in the Chinese world, no matter how hardworking people are, they should be dreaming at this moment.The air-conditioning in the restaurant was turned on too high, making the world's nose sore.Fuck, it's just the first day here, and I'm still a little homesick.

Everyone was chatting in small groups, the world looked at himself sitting alone at the table, and suddenly regretted not calling out the little turtle.That's all, let's report together tomorrow. I heard that there will be a welcome party, and many seniors and sisters will come to share their experiences.The world is still looking forward to tomorrow, even if it is to see a few more Chinese faces, it would be good.

Gui Ye was carrying a large bag of daily necessities, and there were two washbasins, one red and one blue, on his head.It looks particularly eye-catching on the green line subway that is bang-dang-bang.Since he doesn't have a left hand, he seems to be a little unstable. Now he is carrying tissues, shower gel and shampoo, which looks more like he is about to fall to one side. With the washbasin on top of his head, he looks like he is alive. Like a tumbler.Pedestrians on the subway would always pretend to glance at him casually, but no one offered their seat to him.

Guiye has mixed feelings in his heart. When he takes the bus in China, there will always be people who will give him a pitiful look, and then scramble to give up his seat, even if he insists not to.However, when he got here, when everyone really treated him as an ordinary person, he thought it was strange for a while, but he couldn't say why it was strange.

When he finally got off the subway and went all the way uphill and downhill to the door of the dormitory, he was already very tired, and his bangs were all soaked because of the two washbasins framed, sticking to his face, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Gui Ye shouted to the inside of the door, "World, open the door for me." Only the sound of rushing water came from inside the house, but no one answered him.He raised his voice again, and shouted persistently, "World, open the door! Open the door." He was annoyed in his heart, still having such a short memory, he forgot to bring the key on the first day he went out.

After several minutes, the door creaked open, and the world was wrapped in a towel, and the hair was still dripping.He poked his head out and said displeasedly, "Don't you know how to ring the doorbell? Keep calling my name, for fear that others will not know the poor quality of our Chinese..."

But when he saw Xiao Wu standing at the door with two red and blue washbasins dripping with sweat, he couldn't help laughing.He was a master, and he took off the two washbasins like lifting the lids of a pot, and Gui Ye felt that he could breathe more easily.

"Don't move..." Shi Shi said while wiping the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes, and brushed his hair back.Gui Ye smelled the unique fragrance after he took a bath, it was indescribably fresh.It's just that he stood there with his upper body naked, his face was still crimson from the heat from the bath, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

"I...I'll go change clothes before I come out, you come in first..." Shi Shi seemed to have sensed that this was unusual, and rushed into the bedroom as if flying after speaking.

"I wanted to ask you to go to the Chinese supermarket to buy daily necessities, but when I packed up, you had already gone out, and I don't have your phone number..." Guiye took out the shopping bag he had just bought from the plastic bag. things while observing the expression of the world.He changed into a gray cotton pajamas and matching pants, without any patterns, and looked refreshing, with the feeling of Sprite with ice added.Does he think it's unfair not to call him when he goes shopping... But, after thinking about it, he also bought him a washbasin, a bath ball, and a towel, so he shouldn't be angry, right? .

The world is staring at the screen of the mobile phone in a daze. Dad still hasn’t heard a message or called. It’s already 7:35 in the morning in China, and it’s already dark in Boston.The little tortoise was chattering about something, but he didn't pay attention and didn't hear it clearly, so he hummed a few times casually.

"World, let me ask you! Do you want the blue one or the red one?" Guiye pointed to the two washbasins placed side by side on the ground, and looked at him sincerely. He hoped that the world would pick the red one. Because he likes blue.There are only these two colors of washbasins in the supermarket. If you buy the same washbasin, you will mix them up, so you have to buy one red and one blue.He looked around in other supermarkets, but he didn't find one selling washbasins, so he asked in the alumni forum, and Senior Wu Meng said that only Chinese supermarkets sold them.This subway ride is really lifeless.

"It's blue..." The world's favorite color is also blue.It's just that he couldn't figure out why the little turtle gave him a washbasin with towels and bath balls of the same color in it.This roommate just moved in together, so it's understandable to give a small gift, but the little turtle's gift is really a bit special...

He also remembered that when the door was just opened, the little tortoise was standing at the door dripping with sweat, holding a huge plastic bag in his hand, and his fingers were all red.Suddenly, I felt that my attitude seemed a little bad when I opened the door, so I turned my head and pretended to be casual, "If you go to the supermarket to buy things in the future, remember to take me with you. I have been practicing boxing since I was a child. I have great strength, and I can just lift things for you .”

I thought the little turtle could understand this joke, but he suddenly said timidly, "Learning to box...then you...can beat people?"

The world answered him with some dumbfounding, "Don't worry, I won't bully you anyway." But after finishing speaking, I felt like I had said the wrong thing again. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to discriminate against the disabled.The world only felt that he was going to paint more and more black, so he changed the topic and said, "If I am not in the dormitory in the future, if you go to the supermarket to buy something, you can take a taxi and come back."

Gui Ye looked at him, and said with some frustration, "American taxis are too expensive. It costs more than ten dollars to go to the Super League. If you save it, you can eat two meals..."

He looked at the silver iPhone 4 in the hands of the world, it was a new model just released this year, and it was expensive.He is probably one of the many wealthy second generations studying abroad... Guiye looked down at his sneakers. The uppers were so old that a layer of leather had peeled off, and the soles were almost worn out. It was raining. will seep in.Is it time to buy a new pair of shoes...

Shijie picked up the mobile phone that Little Turtle put on the table, the Nokia button mobile phone, um, everything on his body is old.He entered his new number and his name, Xia Shiji, and after thinking about it, he deleted the word Xia, making Shiji sound more comfortable.But this phone seems to be falling apart, can it be used with an American card?

"Have you applied for a calling card here?" The world looked at the black and white screen, which still showed no service.

"Uh... I went before going to the supermarket, but the clerk said that the card here is a small card, and my phone is a big card. Maybe I need to change my phone..." Gui Ye After thinking about my spare money, and buying a new mobile phone, I can only reduce my living expenses.This Nokia mobile phone was given to him by his aunt when he returned to China when he was in junior high school, and he has been using it until now.Although my aunt always spoke up when she said she had no money, Guiye always felt embarrassed.

"Then after we finish the report tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the Apple store to buy one. It's inconvenient if you don't have a mobile phone, and your family members can't contact you." World thought, it's not good to have a mobile phone yourself Go, Dad still hasn't called.

Hearing him talking, Gui Ye felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier, thinking that he was sleepy due to jet lag, so he told the world that he would call him to report to the Freshman Admissions Office tomorrow morning, and got his student ID by the way.

Early the next morning, the world opened his eyes to look at his phone, shit, it was past eleven o'clock, and he must have forgotten to set the alarm clock last night.He looked across and found that the little tortoise was curled up into a ball and was still sleeping soundly.Calculated, from last night to today, he slept at least fourteen to five hours.World thought to himself, it really is a tortoise, it can sleep better than itself...

"Little turtle, wake up, the report is going." Shijie called him to get up while changing his clothes, but the other party didn't respond at all.When the world came out after brushing his teeth, he was still lying on the bed, and the world was on fire.He said yesterday that the report called him to go with him, but today he couldn't call him alive, what does it mean.

Shi Shi went to his bed and threw off his blanket, trying to pick him up, but found that he was shaking all the time, and the bangs on his forehead were all wet.Shi Shi raised his volume and called him a few more times, but there was still no response. He reached out and touched his forehead, which was hot.It must be that I came back from the supermarket last night and sweated, and then the air conditioner was turned too low when I came back, and it was cold and hot, and I caught a cold.

Shi Jie picked up the key and was about to take the little turtle to the hospital, when he suddenly remembered that the hospital here needs to make an appointment to see a doctor.He cursed in his heart, took out the computer from the box, and found that the computer was out of battery again, he frantically looked for the charger for a long time.When he finally entered the appointment interface of the hospital, he found that the queue was a month later!

Damn, it's still a mess in a month, the cold has been cured.The world shut down the computer with a bang, and there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the evil capitalism.Fortunately, Secretary Li thought carefully and stuffed a first-aid kit in his suitcase, which should contain cold medicine.Sure enough, four boxes of Gankang were neatly placed under Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets.

There was a sizzling sound from the kettle, the world looked around the kitchen and opened the closet, it was empty, so he took out his water glass from the box and poured a glass of boiling water.He has been obsessed with cleanliness since he was a child, and he always carries his own water cup everywhere, but right now there is no other cup for the little turtle to use in this dormitory.

When the water was too cold to burn his mouth, World carefully lifted the little turtle up and prepared to feed him the medicine.But I found that he was as light as a piece of paper.When helping him, he accidentally touched the empty sleeve of his left hand, and the world only felt a thrill in his heart, as if he had secretly violated other people's privacy.The little tortoise covered himself in a blanket, and broke out in a cold sweat again, and the t-shirt he was wearing was also drenched with sweat.If I sleep like this without changing my clothes, I'm afraid the cold will get worse.

Shi Shi went to search around the little turtle's box, and found that he was carrying a pile of English books, with very little clothes, only a few shirts and jeans, which must be uncomfortable to wear as pajamas.No wonder yesterday I twisted the handle on the suitcase for him on the plane, and it was full of iron-like tomes.

This kid is not only poor, but also a nerd, hey, Shi Shi sighed in his heart, and went to find a cotton pajamas in his suitcase.The little tortoise must be too big to wear, but it is better than wearing wet ones.

But when it was time to change clothes, the world couldn't help it. The little tortoise leaned against the pillow with a pale face, unable to open his eyes, and just kept saying that he was cold.Now it's like taking advantage of others...

Fuck, leave it alone!It is important to save lives.With a heartbroken world, he lifted up the little turtle's T-shirt from his waist, but the moment his shoulders were exposed, he was still quite frightened.On the left shoulder of the little tortoise, the base of a round arm is left bare, which looks like a bare tree trunk that has been cut off by someone, forming a sharp contrast with his collarbone.

If you divide him into two, from the right side, he is a rare and handsome young man in the world, but from the left side, he is a daunting and incomplete statue.Perhaps it was because of this that he would wear long sleeves even in summer, for fear that others would see his stump.It was the first time in the world to look at the amputated body at such a close distance, and I was a little stunned. I forgot to be afraid for a while, and just lamented the injustice of fate.

After drying off the sweat on the little tortoise, and putting on clean clothes lightly, the little tortoise felt a little more comfortable.The world fed him medicine, helped him lie down and covered him with a dry quilt.After finishing all this work, I only felt that I was sweaty all over, and the bedroom was also messed up on the floor, with six boxes open, and things were rummaged in a mess.

Shi Shi looked at his right wrist, which was still a little red and swollen, and forgot to put on the plaster in his busy schedule.On the first day in the United States, I helped the little tortoise to pick up his luggage. On the second day, the little tortoise got sick and stayed to take care of him. He didn't even go to the report.These days, I'm really drunk...

The author has something to say:

I feel like writing sweet essays makes me want to fall in love.The little turtle is happy. Although his body is crippled, he encountered the world and gave him the whole world.At the same time tomorrow, Sydney will update on time, see you tomorrow.
