Chapter 25 Section 25

CAROL was sitting in Jason's car, very flustered, not knowing how he would feel if he wanted to go with him like this.Now even she herself doesn't know why she chased him and went with him, but when she saw that he was going to leave, she panicked and couldn't help chasing after him. Before Jason started the car, he asked her: "Are you really going? Don't play for a while? Tomorrow is Saturday. It's okay to go to bed late today. If you are worried that there will be no school bus because it's too late, I can pick you up and Feng Chao later. " "Stop playing, it's not interesting, I just want to watch you dance. It's not fun after you leave. Why don't you play anymore?"

"This is something that you children like. At my age, what else do I play?" She seized the opportunity and asked him, "How old are you?" He turned to look at her, smiled and said, "What do you think?" "Maybe around forty." He laughed happily, and laughed for a while before saying, "I look so young? You're a little girl who can talk, and you're missing another high hat, right?" She said sincerely, "Really, I'm not giving you a high hat. To be honest, if you didn't have a daughter who is in middle school, I might have to guess that you are in your mid-thirties."

"Daughter in middle school? You mean SARA?" He smiled wider. "What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong? SARA is not your daughter?" she asked hopefully. "Who says it's not my daughter? Whoever says it's not, I'm in a hurry with whom." She quickly explained: "I didn't say she wasn't your daughter, I meant—" She wanted to say that I hope she wasn't your daughter, but she held back. He didn't seem to want to go any further on this topic, and started the car.After driving for a while, he asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Don't be too hungry like last time and have skin allergies."

"I'm not hungry," she quickly explained, "I ate during the dinner just now, but I'm thirsty. I just drank a cup of Coke and I'm still thirsty." "Then I'll take you to eat ice cream." His words reminded her of the day he picked her up at the airport, and he said "I'll take you" and "I'll take you" so softly. "Okay, where is there a place that sells ice cream?" "There is a place that sells ice cream in front. There are many kinds of ice cream. SARA likes to eat the VANILLA ice cream there very much."

Hearing him mention SARA, she felt her heart sank again, maybe he was treating me like a daughter, didn't he notice that I was already very mature? Before entering the ice cream shop, she deliberately walked behind him, and when he was not looking, she tightened the belt of the dress so that her breasts and waist would be more prominent.However, to her embarrassment, she remembered that she had no money, and all $100 was invested in the Latin dance prince.He asked her to order one and said, "I beg you, you have invested so much money in me, I should pay you back." She thought about it, ordered a vanilla, he paid, and the two of them went back to the car.She asked, "What class are you teaching next semester? Are you still teaching this?"

"I'm not teaching next semester, I'm doing RA." She is very disappointed, he will not teach next semester, so what should I do?Aren't we going to see him next semester?She was thinking wildly, and she had just eaten a little ice cream before arriving at her residence.He parked the car, walked over to her, and opened the door.She refused to come out and asked him, "Do you drink coffee? I have a coffee pot, and I can make you a cup of coffee." He shook his head and said, "I'm an old-fashioned person. I don't drink coffee or tea. I only drink water."

"Then why don't you go in and get some water?" He shook his head again: "It's getting late, I have to go back. My middle school daughter is at home alone, and I'm worried about her. You should go to bed earlier." "Where's your WIFE?" "Isn't she BLIND?" After he finished speaking, he laughed softly. She didn't think this was funny at all. During this period of time, because it was all circumstantial evidence, she had been holding a little hope that he was familyless and that she was being suspicious, but he gave her last hope tonight. broken.Disappointed, she got out of the car and stood there, looking at him, reluctant to let him go, but unable to think of any way to keep him.

He said to her suddenly, "Stretch out your hand." Her heart skipped a beat, thinking he would grab her hand, pull her violently, and pull her into his arms.She held back, stretched out a hand, and felt him put a small scroll in her hand.He said: "This is the $100 you invested, and I asked the student union to get it back. You just came here, and you are short of money, and you don't have a scholarship when you transfer to D University, so you can use this money. If you really don't need it , just send it back to your mother. It’s not easy for her to support you alone, so don’t spend the money on these unknown things in the future. Oh, yes, do you know? You can go back to China to visit your mother during the Christmas holiday. Your visa should have two entries and exits, valid for half a year, and you can come back without another visa. You book tickets early, and it will be very expensive if you book late.”

"Are you going back to China for Christmas?" she asked eagerly. "I'm not going back to China. My whole family has immigrated to Canada. There are no people in the country. I will go back to Canada for Christmas. All three of us will go back. Okay, I'm leaving, you can rest early." After speaking, he waved to her, walked to the cab, got into the car, and reversed the car out of DRIVEWAY. Carol held the $100 in his hand, and the sound of "All three of us go back" was still ringing in his ears. He couldn't think of it all at once, and watched him drive the car and disappear into the night.

After Feng Chao came back, CAROL asked him: "Is your student union willing to return the money you invested to those who didn't win?" Feng Chao said puzzledly: "How can there be such a good thing? If the investment is not successful, the money will be refunded. Then what kind of funds should we raise?" She knew that the $100 must be Jason's own money. She didn't understand why he did this, and she didn't understand how he knew that she was going to transfer to D University, and she didn't have a scholarship. How did he know that she was supported by her mother alone?Also, how did he know her visa was still valid until Christmas?

She thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out. Who in C University knows me so well?Could it be Qian Bo?Qian Bo only knew about her transfer, because she was an alumnus, she had talked about it with him, and he was the first to bring it up.He said that he himself planned to transfer to another school, but it was delayed for a year, and the school there revoked his eligibility for admission.He advised her to transfer as soon as possible, so as not to end up like him. As for the mother raising her alone, I don't know who told Jason, and it's impossible for Qian Bo to know.Maybe Feng Chao, because she told Feng Chao that her father died of cancer. The matter of the visa is probably just his speculation. Lying on the bed, she thought about the school transfer, and when she thought that she would not see Jason after transferring there, she felt very uncomfortable.Staying here, although you can't develop any relationship with him, at least you can still see him often. If you transfer to D University, it means that you may not see him in this lifetime. Life, it is really scary, or not Turn it. Then she thought about Christmas. He seemed to have specially emphasized that he was going back to Canada, and the three of them went back together. Did he see her thoughts and want her to give up?She was a little angry, thinking, who cares if you go back to Canada?What does it matter if you go back or not?Don't take yourself too seriously. After a while, she thought again, forget it, let's buy a ticket and go back to China for Christmas. Jason is not here anymore, Christmas must be very boring.If he is here, I will invite his whole family to have dinner. I will pay him back, because he picked me up at the airport, so I can show him that I am very capable, not only can read, but can also do things. meal.If I invite his family to dinner, maybe his wife will invite me to dinner again, and we will invite him back and forth like this, and we can meet many times. Since he's not here for Christmas, it's no use for me to be here.Or buy a ticket to go back to China for Christmas.Maybe after going back to China to play for a while, I forgot about him.
