I love you, I won't kill you

This year's Thanksgiving, when it comes to people, is still as lively and warm as in previous years, and the family and friends are full of laughter.But it still feels like summer at Whitingfield Naval Air Station in Florida, 1,261 miles from Yale University in New Haven.

"FK, the damn navy only gave us one day off! One day, only one day!?" Rebecca muttered after dinner, and shouted at Victoria who was sitting at the desk.

Victoria didn't turn her head back, and continued to look at the laptop screen, "Then what do you want? Get two days of paid vacation like civilians and government employees in society?"

Rebecca glared at her twice, "Hmph, it's only one day longer than us."

Then he said, "What is Amanda doing? Isn't she bored in the room by herself?"

At this time, Victoria turned and looked at her, "How about I ask her to come over, and we go to the military supermarket on the base to buy some Thanksgiving food or some small gifts?"

Rebecca folded her hands on her chest, "How can this damn place compare to the Naval Academy? Hey, at this time last year, we were still discussing how to spend Black Friday!

Victoria smiled and shook her head, stood up and walked towards the door.He said to Rebecca while walking, "Maybe, you can find the feeling of Black Friday in Whitingfield."

"Amanda, are you there?" Victoria stood in front of the door and said after knocking on the door twice.

"Yes, please come in." Amanda's voice came from the door.

"What are you doing? Rebecca and I want to ask you to go and buy some Thanksgiving food together." Victoria said as she walked through the door.

Amanda, who was sitting at the desk, turned her head and said with a smile, "Although I can't go home to reunite with my family and friends, and have another delicious turkey dinner, I still have to call to say hello."

There are more than four or five people who need her to make video calls through the computer. Of course, she needs to line up to connect one by one.After connecting to Julie's video, Amanda whispered to Victoria, "Be quiet and give me a few minutes."

"Hi, baby, are you okay?" Julie in front of the camera looked distorted.

"Hi, I'm fine. Are you okay, you seem to have gained weight?" Amanda said with doubts.

"Hehe, it might be because of the camera, I just sit farther away." When Julie moved back, Joanna moved her face closer, "Hi, Amanda, nice to meet you!"

Just as Joanna was speaking, Victoria leaned in front of the computer and opened her eyes, "Joanna? Why are you at Yale?"

"Victoria, I told you a long time ago that I will go to law school as soon as I graduate from college," Joanna said.

"You...know each other?" Amanda said in surprise.

At this time, Julie appeared in front of the camera with a smile, "Baby, they are twins, Victoria is the older sister, and Joanna is the younger sister. Hi, Victoria, how are you?"

Victoria smiled and greeted, "Hello! I've been hearing Amanda talking about you, but I haven't seen you in person. Well, this time I saw you."

"Really? What did she say about me?" Julie asked with a smile.

Amanda glanced at Victoria, "Second Lieutenant Cranston, do you need me to lend you the computer?"

Victoria looked at Julie in the camera with a smile, and said to Amanda, "Thank you, I don't think I need it. Joanna, have you talked to Mom and Dad?"

Joanna said impatiently, "Victoria, I know what you want to ask. Well, I'll connect to Mom's video, and you come here together." After speaking, she disappeared from Julie's camera.

When Victoria left Amanda, she hid from the screen and mouthed to her, "I envy you, really!"

Amanda smiled and shook her head, then turned to Julie and said, "College student, is it snowing in New Haven now?"

Julie stretched out her right hand in the camera, hooked her index finger and said, "Come here, I want to kiss you."

"Wow, you're horny." Amanda teased, kissing Julie's lips on the screen.

"Well, baby, I don't think you'll have a holiday this Christmas either?" Julie said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, honey. They don't give me a choice, even though it's my right," Amanda said softly.

"Hehe, I know. Oh, I forgot to tell you, now I'm preparing for the national bar exam next February."

"Really? Well, beautiful and sexy lawyer, which state do you plan to get a license in?"

The current American judicial system stipulates that each state is an independent judicial unit and has its own bar exam, application requirements and passing standards.A lawyer can usually practice only in a state if he is licensed in that state.A separate application is required for cross-state practice, and it generally takes four to seven years of practice experience before you can apply for exempt practice in other states.

As for the national bar exam that Julie applied for, as long as there is no conflict in the exam time of each state, she can apply to take the exam in multiple states.With a sweet smile, he asked back, "Well, Lieutenant McLaren, which state do you want me to take the exam?"

Amanda didn't even know which state in the United States she would stay in in the future, so how could she ask Julie.Just said, "Uh...I don't know. New York, Washington, or California?"

"Giggle, honey, lawyers from any state can practice in Washington, D.C. Of course, the other two places you mentioned are also under my consideration. There are also Texas, Florida, Nevada and Illinois, what do you think?"

"God, do you need to get licensed in so many states?"

Julie sighed slightly, and said to Amanda in front of the camera, "Honey, if I hadn't considered your future career, I don't think I would have applied for so many state exams. Of course, Florida, and I will definitely take the test in Illinois, where Chicago is located."

Amanda couldn't help reaching out and touching Julie's face on the screen, "Thank you, honey! I love you!"

"I love you too, baby. I'll give you a gift for Thanksgiving," Julie said.

"Thank you! Well, what time are you, Joanna, and Angie going to get up tomorrow morning to start the Black Friday operation?"

"Uh... last year it seemed like I got up at four o'clock in the morning, but this year it might be earlier than three o'clock."

"Hehehe, three o'clock in the morning? Could it be too early?" Amanda asked happily.

"Of course it's early, but if you go early, you can get ahead of the queue. Although the nearest Wal-Mart is only a 5-minute drive from the school, this is our custom." Julie replied without thinking.

"Is there a Target near Yale (the fourth largest retailer in the United States after Wal-Mart)?"

"Yes, but it will take longer to drive than to Wal-Mart."

Amanda thought about it, and said, "If I go with my friends, it's better to split up. You and Joanna go to Target, Angie and her friends go to Wal-Mart, what do you think?"

At this time, Victoria was having a video call with her sister Joanna in the room.Angie, Cathy and other overseas Chinese students who are far away at Yale also interact with their relatives in the dormitory through the Internet.

The Thanksgiving Day, which has almost the same meaning as the Chinese Spring Festival, is only given a 5-day holiday by the school.But for students who can't go home, that's the beginning of a shopping spree, a frenzy of eating.

Angie managed to get rid of her parents' nagging, and just cut off the video contact and called Julie.She needs to reconfirm what time her best friend wakes up, whether to go to Wal-Mart or to line up in the dark at Target.
