A Legacy Inherited by the Licking Dogs

Lin Yue'an on the other side of the ocean finally landed at Chicago O'Hare International Airport after a connecting flight and a total travel time of nearly 20 hours.

The journey was long, and even sitting in the spacious seat in the safe passage seemed cramped for his height, not to mention that he was always running and jumping on weekdays, and he was really not used to being chained to the seat for eight or nine hours.Before taking off, Lin Yue'an gritted his teeth and sent a message to Wen Yizhou, and switched to flight mode like an ostrich, as if he was afraid of receiving any response, or would not receive any response, so he turned off the phone without any fuss. .

I don't know what Wen Yizhou's reaction was when he saw the news, he would probably feel baffled and forget about it.But after that, he no longer has himself clinging to him and nagging, Wen Yizhou probably can relax a lot.He will probably be busy with work for a while, and I don't know if he will eat well, and he has finally put on a little weight...

No, no, don't think about it, Lin Yu'an slapped his palm on his cheek, making a crisp sound, which startled the uncle sitting next to him.

During the subsequent journey, he was in a depressed mood. He watched three movies in a row, one of which made him cry, and the uncle next door looked at him in surprise.

After the plane landed, Lin Yu'an yawned and walked out along the signs. He waited for a long time to check in his luggage, and there were children chasing and making trouble beside him. He was terribly annoyed.After leaving the customs, Lin Yue'an looked around over the heads, and saw the driver holding a sign to pick him up.

Public transportation in the United States is really not well developed. The school responsible for receiving the research team sent a car, but they couldn't pick him up alone at a time.Lin Yu'an stood by the van, arms folded and waited for nearly an hour.The driver was a short, brown-skinned, middle-aged man with a heavy accent. Lin Yue'an had to ask again to understand every sentence. The two stumbled and chatted for a few words, and the driver smiled politely at him, and then I played with my phone by myself.

Just when Lin Yue'an was thinking that people all over the world watched similar earthy videos, he finally arrived at another member of the same research team. He was a tall, thin, white male with blond hair and no luggage. A hiking bag.

He got into the car and greeted Lin Yue'an. The driver said that it was just the two of them arriving today. The blond man cheered and finally set off.

The team member who accompanied me was a Dutchman named Yoth. He spoke English very well and his accent was much lighter.Lin Yue'an usually consults literature, reads a lot, and hears that he doesn't practice much, but the Dutch don't care too much, he is familiar with it.

"Are you an athlete?" Yot asked.

Lin Yue'an: "In the past, I retired. I'm a physical therapist. Are you an athlete?"

Yotte: "Me neither. I'm a coach assistant. My master's degree is medical physiotherapy. I'm going to study for a doctorate."

Lin Yue'an was stunned in his heart - his education is so high, he said again: "You are so high."

"You're also tall, so I thought you were an athlete." Yotte spread his hands indifferently, "But with my height, I'm just a stranger in our country."

Lin Yue'an was surprised and said, "Are you 1.9 meters tall?"

Yotte said: "No way, I'm [-]. In the Netherlands, I often don't see the stage when I go to concerts."

Lin Yue'an laughed: "Then if I go to the Netherlands to be an athlete, I won't even be able to block the net."

Yot also laughed for a while, and Lin Yuean asked again: "Which team do you work as a coach?"

"I'm just an assistant, and we're a college student league team in Rotterdam," Yotte complained out of nowhere: "You know, our country is the most popular in football. If our team can translate to football at the national level, we have already Walk sideways."

Lin Yue'an understood, and said with a smile: "Yes, our country is the best in table tennis and badminton, and the men's volleyball team is not as well-known as the women's volleyball team. However, in non-popular sports, the competition pressure of athletes is indeed less, table tennis is too scary Yes, world-class players sometimes don’t even make it to the official draft. But on the other hand, sponsorship and resources are still far behind.”

"No way, good sponsors are all looking for football, it's annoying. If you want resources, you have to have results, but it's even more difficult to get results without training resources." Yot complained loudly.

Lin Yue'an nodded in understanding: "We can only work hard."

The two were silent for a while, and Yot asked again: "Have you been to the United States before?"

Lin Yue'an shook his head.

"It's the first time for me too, I heard that Americans are stupid," Yot said.

Lin Yue'an said, "It's okay, I'm an idiot too."

Jot laughed, "Me too!"

Not long after, Yote fell asleep, snoring with his mouth open, and Lin Yue'an moved his butt, trying to make himself less uncomfortable after sitting for more than ten hours.

Spring is still early in Chicago in late April, and not even the cascading glass office buildings and the Chicago skyline can stop the strong winds from the Great Lakes.Apart from the two weeks of overseas training when he was an athlete, this was the first time Lin Yu'an went abroad alone.He was still immersed in the depression of losing his love. Although this so-called "love" has never started, it has been dragged on for so many years, and he hasn't slept well all day, so he should be very irritable .But the novelty of stepping into a foreign country and a new continent has temporarily overshadowed these dark emotions. The weather today is very sunny and the sky is blue.Lin Yu'an lay on the car window and looked out the window excitedly. His body was exhausted, but his mind was stubbornly excited.

The university campus where they were going to stay was some distance away from downtown Chicago. After the car drove into the campus parking lot, Lin Yu'an gently pushed Yot, who was drooling, to wake him up.

The two jumped out of the car, moved their bodies, and carried their luggage.The driver was on the phone with his mobile phone raised, looking around with his chin raised, and after a moment, he raised his arm and waved to a person walking from the direction of the school building.

The man appeared to be Asian, very young, with glasses and a gentle face.He exchanged a few words skillfully with the driver, then thanked him, the driver returned to the seat and drove away.The young man walked up to Lin Yue'an and the two, and introduced himself, "Hello, I am the school receptionist for this exchange meeting. I am a second-year graduate student, and I am mainly responsible for doing chores. Just call me Jacob."

The three shook hands in turn, and Jacob said, "Come with me and take you to the dormitory."

The young man took them to the nearest school building and introduced them as they walked: "This building is divided into two main buildings, east and west. The first floor is a public rest area. If there is no one there, you can ask the front desk to get the key. There is a laundry room in the basement And the gym, but the gym here is very small, you can usually go to the big gym next to the gym, or...you two should go directly to the gym."

Yot yawned. "I'm not an athlete."

Lin Yue'an said, "Me neither."

"Huh?" Jacob turned around in surprise, his resentment at their height palpable.He led Yot to the fifth floor and said, "I'll wait for you in the lobby on the first floor at six o'clock and take you to the cafeteria for dinner."

Yot waved his hand: "No, I ate on the plane and I want to sleep now."

Jacob said indifferently: "Okay, then you can write down my mobile phone, and you can ask me if you have anything."

The two exchanged contact information, Yue Te nodded and closed the door. Lin Yue'an followed Jacob and continued walking. Before taking two steps, Jacob turned around and asked him in Chinese: "Chinese?"

Lin Yue'an froze for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"Me too," Jacob grinned, "I'll take you to eat Chinese food later, when you get tired of the cafeteria."

Lin Yue'an laughed: "Okay."

Jacob led the way to the door of the dormitory, opened the door and entered - it was a small single room, but everything was there.Lin Yue'an asked, "Do you live here too?"

"I share a room with my friends off-campus. Most of the students living in the school are freshmen, sophomores and exchange students." Jacob shook his head and asked again: "Are you sleepy too and want to rest?"

Lin Yue'an shrugged, "I'm fine."

"If you're not tired, I'll take you around?" Jacob helped him open the window for some ventilation, "Even if you didn't get enough sleep on the first day, eat first, stay up until night before going to bed, otherwise the jet lag will always make you feel uncomfortable .”

"Okay," Lin Yue'an agreed, "Thank you."

According to Jacob, the area where the campus is located is almost a mini university town. There are three canteens, six or seven teaching buildings, gymnasium and library in the campus.There are Wal-Mart and some villas near the campus, which are basically rented out by the student groups. There are not many entertainment places in the surrounding area, and there are only a few bars. Everyone basically goes to a fixed place on Thursday and Friday, going to the city. The area is basically only for cars.Lin Yue'an actually didn't care too much about this, but listened patiently.

"Have you been studying here?" Lin Yue'an asked.

"My undergraduate degree is in Madison," Jacob said, "it's not far away, and I just came here as a graduate student. My graduation thesis happened to be related to pre-competition physical training, but I focused on the psychological direction. An experimental assistant is considered a part-time job."

Lin Yue'an nodded, and Jacob asked again: "Are you really not an athlete? It's a pity that you have such a physique."

Lin Yue'an said: "It used to be, but then I was injured and retired."

"Ah," Jacob seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for asking."

Lin Yue'an waved his hand to show that he didn't care, but Jacob still seemed embarrassed and walked aside cautiously.

Lin Yue'an thought for a moment and said, "That's right."

Jacob: "?"

Lin Yue'an: "I ate four meals on the plane, and now I'm hungry and want to vomit. The Chinese food you mentioned, can we go now?"

Jacob's eyes lit up when he heard that, "Let's go!"
