After accidentally kissing a roommate

After Song Xuan entered the room, he just lay down and closed his eyes for a short rest. It didn't take long before he heard conversations coming from downstairs, and then he heard footsteps going upstairs.

He walked to the door and poked his head out. Chen Aowen, who was separated by a wall, just opened the door. With a vague suspicion, the two looked at each other silently, and then looked towards the stairs, just in time to meet the person who came.

Song Xuan guessed right, it was the German who participated in the same practical project with them, and he was carrying the suitcase upstairs with a wheeze.

The boy's name is Bernard, and he is also a college student, but he is two years older than Song Xuan and Chen Aowen.

He is not tall, has brown hair and blue eyes, and has a cheerful and outgoing personality. When he saw Song Xuan and Chen Aowen, he smiled and greeted him immediately. After seeing their positions, he pointed to the remaining room and said: "It seems Is this room mine?"

Song Xuan nodded: "Yes, it's yours."

Bernard pushed the luggage into the room, and then asked Song Xuan and Chen Aowen: "Are you going downstairs? Or stay upstairs?"

Song Xuan was not sleepy, he slept for a long time on the plane when he came, turned to look at Chen Aowen, he also looked indifferent.

After looking at each other, Chen Aowen said, "Then go downstairs."

Bernard is very talkative.

After going downstairs, they sat together on the sofa in the living room. Although it was the first time they met, they didn't see each other at all, and kept throwing out topics with ease, so that they could quickly get to know each other to a certain extent.

Bernard is studying in Germany. He is a native German. He just graduated from university this year. He plans to travel around the world for a year before working. Azerbaijan is his first stop.

After chatting for a while and having dinner, after nine o'clock in the evening, all the participants in this project arrived in Baku, and the organizers pulled the seven people into a group, and issued the specific requirements of the event in the form of documents. over again.

After clicking on the document and reading it through, Song Xuan felt that the project in Azerbaijan was much easier than he imagined.

Before setting off, he searched for "volunteer travel" on the Internet. At that time, most of the pictures and descriptions that popped up under this entry looked relatively poor - muddy dirt roads in the countryside, hot and humid climate, and slightly dilapidated houses. .

It may be related to the country you choose. Most of the volunteer projects are selected in less developed areas in Southeast Asia. Although Azerbaijan is not developed, Baku is a modern city, half of which is the sea, half of high-rise buildings, and of course there are villages in the city. But in the most downtown area, there are neon lights standing along the river at night.

With some preferential treatment in external conditions such as board and lodging, it is naturally more complicated in practical projects.

During their ten-day stay here, the main activities revolved around local cultural exploration.

To sum up, it is necessary to plan the theme and route by yourself, record the whole process and make a video as a proof and final display of their participation.

In short, it's a bit like shooting a travel promotional film.

After joining the group, the organizer disappeared, leaving only seven people to interact in the group.

After initially exchanging names, the seven agreed on the time and place to meet the next morning. Because there was no chat between the two sides through the screen, Song Xuan went to bed at ten o'clock to adjust the time difference.

On the second day, the seven of them met in front of a shop on the street on time.

Almost all those who will participate in this kind of volunteer project are of the same age, and the four girls are not very old, and the youngest is a girl from Mexico, who has just turned [-].

We are in a foreign country and we have to act together in the next ten days. When the seven people met, they were very kind and divided the tasks very efficiently.

The first four days are mainly about overviewing the whole city.

On the first day and the second day, they went to the museum and several landmarks in Baku respectively. On the third and fourth days, they specially checked in the special food. On the fifth day, the seven of them planned to stop the trip for a while and organize their hands. After obtaining the permission of Gehrman, the seven of them discussed at Gehrman's home.

Song Xuan was sitting at the table, flipping through the written materials he had recorded in the past few days, and suddenly a glass of lemonade was pushed beside him, and when he looked up, it was Chen Aowen.

Chen Aowen: "Drink some, I just poured it, it tastes good."

Song Xuan took it with a "hmm".

In the past four days, although the two of them have been traveling together, they didn’t have too many communication moments. Most of the time they followed the team on the road. After returning to the boarding place, they were tired all day. Take an early break.

Finally, when they were so close together, Song Xuan loosened his back and leaned half of his body on Chen Aowen's body, and the two of them secretly held hands under the table.

They were doing small movements with their hands, but both of them were sitting upright on the surface, and they could also participate in the discussions of the other five people from time to time, giving some suggestions on the final video they were going to make.

After the seven of them spent the whole morning sorting out their thoughts, they didn't go out at all in the afternoon, which was regarded as a day's rest.

In the first four days, even Song Xuan and Chen Aowen didn't have much communication, let alone their small team of seven, now it's rare to have a moment to calm down and sit together, Bernard first opened the mouth to stir up the topic : "Have you done this kind of similar project before?"

It was the first time for Song Xuan and Chen Aowen to participate, and they all shook their heads. Among the remaining four girls, the two Singaporean girls had participated in the island activities that Song Xuan was thinking about before.

Song Xuan then asked: "What will be done in marine environmental protection activities? Is it fun?"

Unexpectedly, the other party replied: "Generally speaking, it's just nice to say, that is, I will arrange a trip to the sea and tell you some marine knowledge. Most of the time is free activities, which is similar to our current situation. After a long stay Tired."

Song Xuan was a little disappointed: "Isn't that just traveling in disguise?"

He thought he would really do something meaningful with the team.

Bernard said: "I don't deny that some of them are indeed doing practical things, but more of them are volunteers in name, and they are tourism activities in essence."

Song Xuan suddenly had a question: "When many universities recruit graduate students, if students have participated in volunteer projects, they will be given priority. But if the essence of these activities is no different from tourism, why do those universities attach so much importance?"

It seems that no one has thought about this problem before.

After Song Xuan finished speaking, the scene was silent for a moment, and then they all guessed——

"Maybe I think this student has a more international perspective."

"Well, if you participate in more extracurricular activities, your overall quality should be higher."

While sitting opposite Song Xuan, the girl from Singapore said: "It may be a proof of the student's family background. If the student is capable of participating in international projects, at least it means that the family behind him is not too weak."

"You should also know that some students accepted by British and American universities may not have good grades, but his family background makes it easier for him to succeed, so he can also be admitted."

This is true.

Song Xuan often saw this kind of news when he was in China. He didn't think much of it at the time, but now he suddenly felt that it seemed to be a game of capital's beating around the bush.

Because the family background is strong and closer to the so-called success in the world, even educational resources can be infinitely tilted towards the rich.

After rough-cutting a video with the material at hand, the four girls packed up and went back to their accommodation.

In a rare afternoon of free time, Bernard's beer DNA as a German was activated, and he went out to the street to find a bar, while Song Xuan and Chen Aowen went upstairs to share a rare two-person time.

It's just that Song Xuan was sitting in a daze.

Chen Aowen asked: "Are you thinking about the topic we talked about just now?"

Song Xuan: "Yes, I'm thinking now, is it because I am excellent or because of my family background?"

Song Xuan once felt that he was completely on his own all the way, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Chen Aowen's tone was light: "This question should not be a question."

Song Xuan turned to look at him.

Chen Aowen: "A person's growth will be affected by various factors. Innate IQ, family, and social environment are all variables. A genius born in a rapidly developing China and stagnant Africa will be affected by various factors. There is a completely different life. So it is meaningless to look back at the details of the past, Song Xuan at this moment is the real Song Xuan."

"The point now is, how do we go on the next road?" Chen Aowen stopped for a moment, and took Song Xuan's hand, "Actually, I have a question, I wanted to ask you a few days ago. Have you thought about it?" Is it our future?"

The author has something to say: these chapters are really boring, I can only hold back a few words per hour TAT
