Chapter 10 second quarter

Sophia, Brown's daughter, is twenty and a first-year medical student at Georgetown University.Since she was a child, she liked to use a stethoscope to diagnose abdominal pain caused by indigestion for her younger brother Mike. She also regularly measured the heartbeat of her mother Homan's pet dog Lewis.Brown praised that she would definitely become a good doctor in the future, so she secretly established her lifelong ideal for herself - to be a good doctor. A few years ago, Brown was sent by Georgetown University School of Medicine to Shanghai, China to establish a missionary hospital, St. John's Hospital.Soon, he was invited to Beijing by the Chinese emperor and appointed as the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital. He had the opportunity to get in touch with many important figures in China's imperial power politics. During the years of treating diseases for these people, he received many valuable gifts from them.When he returned home to visit relatives, he passed on these Chinese gifts to his wife, daughter and son.Sophia learned about the interesting history, culture and folk customs of this ancient oriental country from these novel and precious gifts and many photos taken by her father during her stay in China. As a famous imperial doctor, her ideal of becoming a doctor became more and more determined.Every time Brown visits relatives, she has to learn some Chinese. However, she is not as lucky as Mike and did not go to China to visit her father with her mother. This is mainly because she fell in love with Denver, a cat in her grandmother's house.She was reluctant to leave the cat and go to China with her mother, although she later regretted it many times.This time, when Brown was discussing with her family how to arrange Cheng Shaozhong's accommodation, she was the one who insisted that Cheng Shaozhong live with their family. This kind of hope and longing, even though she already has a very good boyfriend - Kawashima Taro, a classmate from Japan.

After dinner on the first day Cheng Shaozhong arrived in Washington, Sophia drove her beloved car, took Taro Kawashima, another female classmate of hers, Mary, and her male classmate, James, and accompanied Cheng Shaozhong to watch Washington DC with his younger brother Mike. of the charming night scene.That night, they held guitars, sang and danced in a famous park by the Washington Canal, and caroused until late at night. They went to the Voyager Club and drank a lot of beer before going home to rest.That night, she suffered from insomnia for the first time in her life. She lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, Cheng Shaozhong's dull oriental face appeared in front of her eyes.She herself couldn't figure out why she liked this dazed oriental face more than Kawashima Taro's cunning oriental face.Is it just a matter of "new" vs "old"?seems not.So what is the reason?She couldn't answer.Later, she simply didn't sleep, turned over and got off the ground, hugged her loose pajamas, walked out of the bedroom barefoot, walked through the corridor, and walked down two flights of stairs gently, and came to the door of Cheng Shaozhong's room located in the semi-basement forward.She paused for a moment, then knocked lightly on the door twice.

"Who?" Cheng Shaozhong's voice sounded in the room, and then his footsteps were heard, and then the door opened with a bang. "It's you?" Cheng Shaozhong was taken aback when he saw Sophia standing in front of the door with her pajamas on and barefoot. "Can I come in?" Sophia asked in English—she forgot for a moment that Cheng Shaozhong was still illiterate in English. Although Cheng Shaozhong didn't understand English, he still wouldn't misunderstand what Sophia said at this moment—since he knocked on the door, he just wanted to enter the house, so please—he waved his hand toward the room, Made a gesture of please.

Sophia held her head high and walked into Cheng Shaozhong's room majesticly, but because she was barefoot and wearing pajamas, this majestic arrogance seemed a bit funny, so she couldn't help laughing as soon as she entered the room, She laughed so hard that she collapsed on the sofa. Cheng Shaozhong closed the door and went back to the desk. Seeing Sophia smiling so happily, he couldn't help being a little confused, but he didn't understand English, so he couldn't communicate, so he had to look at her laughing for no reason.His expression made people laugh even more, making Sophia laugh more and more, and at the end of the laugh, she rolled from the sofa onto the carpet.

"Why are you so happy?" Cheng Shaozhong finally asked in Chinese.At the same time, he was very surprised at Sophia's naked muscles under the pajamas that had almost rolled half off—his wife He Ruohan was a thin woman, but she was not as plump and sexy as Sophia. "Pull me up quickly," Sophia said in English, holding out an arm. "What? Did you have a skin disease on your arm?" As a doctor, Cheng Shaozhong easily misunderstood Sophia's meaning, so he carefully looked for the lesion on that arm. Sophia didn't understand Cheng Shaozhong's meaning for a while, so she shook her arms and said, "Pull me up quickly."

Cheng Shaozhong thought that Sophia was showing him the location of the lesion, so he simply squatted down and raised Sophia's arm, following Sophia's gaze, he stroked it carefully with his hands. In this way, Sophia finally realized that Cheng Shaozhong had misunderstood her words, and was tickled by Cheng Shaozhong's hand again, so she laughed again.At the same time, she pushed Cheng Shaozhong coquettishly, causing Cheng Shaozhong to fall to the ground, while she stood up taking advantage of the situation, turned around and ran towards the door. "You..." Cheng Shaozhong didn't understand why Sophia came to visit late at night, and stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.

Sophia ran to the door, turned around and stopped, winking at Cheng Shaozhong again and again. Cheng Shaozhong stood up on the sofa and asked Sophia, "What's the matter with you?" Sophia ran forward, hugged Cheng Shaozhong and kissed him on the cheek, then turned and opened the door and ran out. Cheng Shaozhong stared at Sophia's disappearing back for a long time in a daze.
