Chapter 23 third quarter

After Tang Renjie left, the English cram school replaced Tang Renjie's class with a female Chinese student Liu Chang.Liu Chang is a second-year student at Georgetown University Law School. He usually spends time with his boyfriend and classmate Wei Qiang.After returning to China, Brown was invited by a publisher to write the book "I Became an Imperial Physician in China". Because the contract had already been signed, the delivery date could not be delayed. In this way, he had a tight schedule when he was teaching in the medical school. I can't spare too much time to study English with Cheng Shaozhong.Because Mike joined the school baseball team, he was very busy with amateur training. It has been a long time since he had time to go shopping with Cheng Shaozhong. Besides, his Chinese level is too poor to help Cheng Shaozhong much. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Homan and Sophia's Chinese is even worse, and she is using the opportunity of being in contact with Cheng Shaozhong every day to study hard to facilitate daily communication.Now, it is not too difficult for them to communicate with Cheng Shaozhong alone, and it is very rare, and it is impossible for them to help Cheng Shaozhong practice English.In the end, there was no other way but Sophia accompanied Cheng Shaozhong to squeeze Fang Zhiwu's time every day.Fang Zhiwu rented a "House" (villa) for a long time. In Maryland, the commute is far away, not as close as 8th Pennsylvania Avenue.Fortunately, there is Sophia's car, and it takes only forty or fifty minutes to drive there, but it takes nearly two hours of round-trip time on the road every night.And of course gasoline.But Sophia said it was nothing. Since Cheng Shaozhong was his father's adopted son, that is, his own family, is it worth mentioning that his family spent some gasoline?

Of course, Fang Zhiwu was also very enthusiastic and serious. This was because Cheng Shaozhong had just healed his fracture. In return, he should also do his best.Therefore, Cheng Shaozhong said that according to the American practice, when he was paid for making up lessons, he repeatedly waved his hands and said he looked down on him, of course Cheng Shaozhong couldn't force it.In this way, Cheng Shaozhong attended cram schools during the day and asked Fang Zhiwu for intensive tutoring at night. Within a month, Cheng Shaozhong's English conversation level had basically reached the standard set by Brown for him.In other words, after arriving in the United States in late August, Cheng Shaozhong basically completed the daily English conversation learning course in just over three months.

In order to allow Fang Zhiwu and Mary enough time to celebrate Thanksgiving alone, Cheng Shaozhong invited them to dinner the night before and said that he would not disturb them on the festival night.But after dinner on Thanksgiving Day, Sophia urged Cheng Shaozhong to get into the car according to the usual time, and drove the car to Maryland according to the usual route. "Where we will go?" Cheng Shaozhong asked in English. "Good place!" Sophia replied, then winked at Cheng Shaozhong. Cheng Shaozhong has been with Sophia day and night for three months, and he is very familiar with her enthusiasm and willfulness. At this time, he had a premonition that she might have some new tricks, so he stopped asking, and let her drive the car like flying.

I don't know how many turns, the car drove into a birch forest, and within a minute of driving, a lake full of colorful lights appeared at the end of the birch forest.Sophia turned her face and said to Cheng Shaozhong: "Here is, Angus lake (arrived, Eros Lake)!" "Eros Lake?" Cheng Shaozhong couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the name.Looking through the car window, not only colorful neon lights floating on the lake in the night, but also many bright beams of light shining directly on the water from the grass by the lake.After a closer look, it was all emitted from the headlights of the car, and I realized that it was not only him and Sophia who came here tonight, but also many early-movers who came here by car.Moreover, judging from the outlines of the buildings outlined by the strings of neon lights, this place is not an inaccessible wild valley, but a scenic spot in the suburbs where people from the city rush to visit.

"You see, All are moving. (See, all are moving)" Sophia said, pointing to the fronts of the beams of light. Cheng Shaozhong immediately saw that many bright beams of light were shaking slightly. Before that, he had always mistakenly thought that it was the fluctuation of the lake water. "What's going on?" He asked Sophia, speaking Chinese. "You should understand." Sophia said this, her hands hooked Cheng Shaozhong's neck, and her eyes shone brightly. Cheng Shaozhong looked at those gently swaying beams of snowy light, and suddenly understood - the people inside are... When he looked back at Sophia again, she had already reached out to his belly, stroking gently there: "I want……"

"I'm your brother." Cheng Shaozhong said as he moved Sophia's hand away. "I want to..." Sophia moved her hand back again. "I already have a wife." Cheng Shaozhong moved away Sophia's hand again and said. "I want to..." Sophia moved her hand back again. Cheng Shaozhong didn't know what to say. ...
