[Comprehensive British and American] Safe Neighborhood

After returning to the dormitory, Sally, who had already slept through the night, felt extremely clear-headed. Lying under the quilt, she began to think about how to learn "Chinese".

She now faces a huge conundrum.

Generally speaking, learning a language starts from four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

If you listen to it, it's okay, and it's not in vain that she has listened to English tapes for six years.

Said that she can find a one-on-one oral training partner online...

And reading and writing...that's where her troubles come from.

If she was in high school, she could still write some simple words by heart, but since she joined the work for nearly five years after graduation, her work has nothing to do with English at all, and she has long forgotten it all.

And now to start learning again...

...that's the problem, everything she sees now is in Chinese!

...Looking at English is also Chinese, and looking at Chinese is also Chinese.

At the beginning, she was quite complacent, thinking that the built-in scanning and translation function was a golden finger given to her in this world, but who knew,...it was actually a big pit.

No, it's actually a cesspit.

She feels like she's been fed shit now...

...Is her dream of a wonderful college life just shattered?

...ah!She doesn't accept it!

All night, Sally struggled with herself until dawn.

The next day, the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on her face through the window, and Sally, who had two heavy dark circles under her eyes, suddenly had an epiphany.

...Maybe this is the mission this world entrusted to her?

...is this a test for her?

Sally couldn't help guessing boldly.

...In the original world, she has been avoiding learning English, because of avoiding, she missed a lot of precious opportunities... a job with better conditions, a company with very friendly benefits, and the first place that she was forced to give up Volunteering...Unexpectedly, once time travels, she will face her most troublesome thing...

...Is this a coincidence?this is not!

...Is she the only one who goes head-on, strikes out bravely, and breaks the stumbling block in life, English... so she can go home?

...As the so-called great missions come from heaven, people must first suffer from their will, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their skin, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions...

...how does she feel that her brain is a little out of order?

In the next few months, Sally suddenly recognized the reality, changed her decadent spirit, and slammed into the library.

Every day, she wears earphones and communicates one-on-one with the speaking partner, and never misses class. Finally, her hard work pays off. During the midterm exam, she got a fairly OK score.

But she still can't take it lightly. After all, the score before the midterm only accounts for 40.00%. If the final exam is too bad, she may still fail the exam.

But I have to say that during this period of time, Toby, the "wretched man", turned out to be the one who helped her the most. As long as the department had to hand in some assignments and small papers containing "Chinese", she would ask him to do so. It's different than helping her to print a copy online. In this way, although the text she read is in Chinese, the materials handed in are indeed in English.

But there is no free lunch in the world. The consequence of using Toby is that he became her ambiguous object, and since then he has been pestering her every day in a fair manner.

Although Sally later made other same-sex friends in class and did not ask Toby for help, he still persisted in talking to her every day.

...Sally didn't bother to point it out, anyway, Toby is a playboy, he not only flirts with her, but also flirts with pretty girls from other departments.

As long as nothing is actually done to her, she doesn't care.

The time for the mid-term exam of each subject is basically set by the teacher, so the time is not the same. After all the exams are over, it is almost late November. On this day, Sally bought a fried noodle and packed it back to the dormitory as usual. In the dormitory, Finally met her roommate who hadn't shown her face for half the semester.

Standing at the door, looking at a girl with dyed dark purple hair, a black leather jacket on the upper body, fishnet stockings and leather boots on the lower body, with a cigarette in her mouth, a girl with a cool look is sitting with her legs crossed The opposite bed, surrounded by smoke, such a scene, Sally almost threw the fried noodles on the ground.

Slowly approaching, Sally also found that her two ears were covered with at least 6 earrings, in addition to the silver nose ring on the right nose...the eyebrows that are almost invisible, like paint With a pale face, two black death eyeliners and purple-black lips...

Mom... I saw the American version of Kill Matt...

No, it might be more soulful to call her the spirit girl.

Feeling Sally's gaze, the spirit girl slightly raised her eyelids... In fact, the two eyeliners of death were too thick, she couldn't see her eyelids at all, only two white-eyed beaks...

Sally pretended to be calm and put the fried noodles on the desk, and turned to look at her. Their eyes met. She smiled awkwardly and politely, "...how are you?"

The spirit girl spit out a smoke ring, clamped the butt of the cigarette with her index finger and middle finger covered with black nail polish, shook the ash on the ground, and spit out a sentence gracefully like an aristocrat, "...Are you the one who just moved in?"

Although her appearance is ridiculous, unexpectedly, her voice is exceptionally nice. It is the most popular female voice and Sally's favorite female voice, the deep voice is a bit hoarse and desolate.

"Yes, my name is Ashley Naleigh...how about you?" Sally replied.

"...Sheila Carey." Sheila put the cigarette in her mouth again, stared at Sally's face with two panda eyes for a long time, and said eccentrically, "...your name sounds nice. , as beautiful as your face..."

After she finished speaking, she paused, and then said, "It looks like a bitch."

"..."

This sudden personal attack made Sally startled for a moment, but then she quickly reacted, with a standard "greetings to your mother" smile on her face, "Oh...thanks, you are the same, you look pretty too Like a bitch."

...Nowadays the word bitchi is a curse word, and Sally expresses with concern that she will soon be out of step with the development of the times.

The spiritual little girl Jiasha Matthila didn't seem to expect the weak and beautiful blonde girl in front of her to fight back so quickly, she froze for a moment, and then suddenly stood up.

She got up so suddenly that Sally shuddered in fright, and was about to make a defensive gesture of holding her head when Kelly suddenly patted her on the shoulder vigorously, and said in a hearty tone, "...not bad! Chick, I like your aggressive personality."

Sally:? ? ?

Another act of delusion.

Sheila glanced at the blond girl with a child's question mark on her head, suddenly changed her face, sneered, lifted the black guitar bag from the bed with one hand and carried it on her right shoulder, and said to Sally meaningfully.

"...I won't bother with you this time. In the future, don't mess with my things, understand?"

After finishing speaking, she left in a cool posture in thick-heeled short boots, leaving Sally in a daze.

???

...don't touch her things?

...when the hell did she move her stuff? ?

In the afternoon, when Flynn came back, Sally told her what had happened, and finally figured out what was going on.

"Did you help her empty the trash can?" Flynn ate the fried noodles that Sally packed for her. Because of the addition of several spoonfuls of chili, she was so hot that her lips were swollen.

"...I heard that she formed a band outside and is still the lead singer. She often composes music and lyrics by herself. When she has nothing to do, she comes back to empty the trash can and find the handwritten scores she lost before."

Sally suddenly realized, "So it's like this..."

No wonder her dress is so "avant-garde", which is incomprehensible.

"Yes, so I don't even touch her things, even the trash." Flynn took out a piece of toilet paper from the paper tray and wiped away the tears from the heat, "...It's so hot! This is Devil's Chili Sauce?"

"...The aunt in the cafeteria made it." Sally, who loves spicy food, finds it difficult to understand Flynn's feelings at the moment. Even though the two added the same amount of hot sauce, she didn't feel anything.

"...I'm going to die, I'm going to die," Flynn fanned herself exaggeratedly, and stared at Sally with resentment, "Give me so much chili, are you trying to murder me!?"

Flynn's pretty face was so hot that it was about to deform. Sally couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw this scene.

Seeing the heartless and gloating reaction of the blond girl, Flynn became furious, and her anger reached its peak in an instant.

...Feeling the sight of the murderer, Sally stuck out her tongue, "...I'll get you a glass of water!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and took a glass of water and handed it to Flynn, "Drink it quickly, it won't be so spicy after drinking it."

Flynn snorted, proudly took the water glass and drank it down.

It had been almost four months since she moved to this dormitory, and her relationship with Flynn was getting better and better.

This Latina girl has a gentle and kind personality, and she is the first female friend she has made in this world.

The hot midsummer passed quickly, and the weather began to turn cold. After finishing the midterm exams of various subjects, Sally soon ushered in the final exam again.

She struggles in the dormitory every day, vowing not to fail a subject at the end of the year and enter the next semester smoothly.

In a trance, time seems to have returned to the time when she was in college in the original world.

At that time, facing the future she knew nothing about, she did not have the slightest timidity or confusion, and firmly followed the path she was walking on and did what she wanted to do.

Although I missed a lot of things, I didn't leave a trace of regret in my heart.

Maybe life is like this, you can never choose everything, just like multiple choice questions, people who choose A will never get B.

But in any case, being firm in what you think is the most important thing.

This is Sally's life philosophy.

One day, when Sally was wearing earphones to brush her hearing and watch gossip news, she suddenly received a message.

Opened it and saw it was from Lucas.
