"Ah... it's chili! I can't stand your Chinese chili..."
"Cut... you can't stand such a delicacy in the world?" Lin Yifei deliberately stimulated the other children, "Don't you guys try it? It's not as spicy as Mexican chili sauce!"
How could the children stand such instigation, and soon one or two were tricked.
Seeing that half of the classroom was fanning and pouring milk, Lin Yifei proudly brought the lunch box in front of Chris. The indifferent boy looked at Lin Yifei with the eyes of things.
"This classroom belongs to you the most, why don't you give it a try?" Lin Yifei put on a provocative look, as if you are a coward if you don't eat.
"Hey... Hey..." KK kept winking, hoping that Lin Yifei would come back, "Don't provoke him!"
"What are you doing? Don't you dare?" Lin Yifei refused to let go. In fact, after observing yesterday and today, Chris's lunch is very simple, just a sandwich, not even milk. Lin Yifei knew that Chris and his mother were living in a very difficult situation, so it was very difficult for him to come to study. But how can an eleven or twelve-year-old boy just have a sandwich for lunch every day
As Lin Yifei expected, Chris just gave him a disdainful look.
"Forget it, you don't dare to eat it after thinking about it." Lin Yifei knew that he still has a childish aspect, that is, he refuses to admit defeat, which can be seen from his provocation of the former world champion Kevin Phil in the Olympic Games.
"Who said I dare not?" Chris grabbed the chopsticks in the lunch box very vigorously, forked the lion's head, then put it into his mouth and ate the whole lion's head very slowly, and then put the chopsticks He forked the stuffed tofu beside him fiercely, "How is it? Do you dare to eat it? Be careful of AIDS and syphilis."
"You think I'm stupid? AIDS and syphilis are not transmitted through saliva!" Lin Yifei triumphantly poked Yong Tau Foo into his mouth, and showed Chris with his mouth open after eating, proving that he really swallowed it up.
It's obviously ridiculously naive, but Lin Yifei would be very happy if this would allow Chris to eat more.
KK and the others all opened their eyes wide, and it took a long time for a child named Mi Gao to speak: "Lin...you don't want to die..."
Lin Yifei shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "You are so stupid, I asked the doctor, and the doctor said that syphilis and AIDS can only be transmitted if they have sex together! Do you know if you have sex?"
Lin Yifei remembered that children in the United States are precocious, but in fact he doesn't have to be so taboo about talking about sex.
"But..." KK wanted to say something else.
"Why? Are you afraid that I may be infected with syphilis or AIDS!" Lin Yifei laughed and brought the lunch box back to his desk, continuing to plan the rice. My mother also said that she was afraid that there would be no rice to eat when she came to the United States. Who knew that after coming here, what could not be bought in Chinatown? Even ordinary supermarkets sell rice.
Seeing how confident Lin Yifei said, KK seemed to believe it, "I also said, it's so easy to contagious, the streets are full of that..." In fact, KK's nature is not bad, it's just because of the family's prejudice against Chris' mother , Instilled some bad ideas in her.
"Ah, by the way, the school will take us to the Metropolitan Museum of Art tomorrow, and it's free!" KK looked excited, she liked drawing very much.
"How can it be free? Our school is so stingy..."
"Government-funded, all elementary schools in New York can go." Mi Gao added.
"That's it, it's fine if you don't need money!" Lin Yifei laughed, otherwise, even if he wants to soak up a little artistic atmosphere, his mother will definitely say that he can't become a painter just by looking at those paintings, so don't waste money up.
"Remember to prepare lunch, we can eat together on the grass in the park after visiting the art gallery!" KK kindly reminded.
Lin Yifei glanced at Chris who was sleeping on the table, wondering if he would go tomorrow.
Before class in the afternoon, the teacher notified everyone of the news in advance. For children of this age, as long as they don't go to class, they will be very happy even to see things they don't understand.
In the morning, Lin Yifei was woken up by his mother knocking on the spatula as usual, and hurriedly left home with the prepared lunch box. Several buses were parked in front of the school, Lin Yifei was a bit late, so he couldn't tell which bus his class was on. Fortunately, KK knocked on the glass window to remind him to get in the car.
When I entered the carriage, I realized that there were two shifts in one car. There is an empty seat next to KK, the little girl excitedly beckoned him to come over, but a big man bumped into Lin Yifei and sat down next to KK, the little girl was so angry that her nostrils were about to spit fire, but Lin Yifei was not angry but only thought it was funny .
The teacher beckoned and motioned him to find a place to sit down quickly. Lin Yifei glanced around and found that there was no one sitting next to Chris in the entire carriage. Lin Yifei is a little funny, because Chris usually looks like he rejects people thousands of miles away, he is obviously a handsome guy but unexpectedly unpopular.
Chris supported his head and looked out the window indifferently. The shallow sunlight and tree shadows intertwined on his side face, which was incomparably beautiful.
Lin Yifei sat down beside him, and still made gestures with KK, don't worry about me!
The car wobbled a few times before driving out, but Chris' posture did not change, as if he was so lonely that he didn't belong to this world.
"You have beautiful fingers, very long and elegant." Lin Yifei smiled. He knew that Chris had actually practiced fencing very early, but he had no formal training, and he learned it completely from TV until Oz Mr. Ben took him home and hired first-class coaches and assistants for him. It was also at that time that Chris took his first step as a professional athlete.
Chris still didn't respond, as if Lin Yifei was praising someone else.
"It would be a pity if you only play the piano or something. It's really suitable for fencing." Lin Yifei smiled and saw Chris' shoulders shaking slightly, "Foil swords only care about stabbing, and epee attacks are also very monotonous. The sword is for you."
Chris slowly turned his head to look at Lin Yifei, "Do you know how to fencing?"
"I know a little bit." Lin Yifei shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know how much of his seventh-ranked level in the world was left in this boy's body.
Chris turned his head away again, only then did Lin Yifei realize that this guy only pays attention to those experts, and it turned out that this kind of personality has been in him since he was a child.
The car drove into the downtown area, just in time for the rush to go to work, and it was stuck in half, a dilemma.
KK, who was sitting obliquely in front, seemed a little motion sick, and seemed about to vomit. Lin Yifei hurriedly put the words that his mother stuffed into the bag before going out and handed it to KK. It's just that KK was not the only one who got motion sickness in the car, and the bag of plums was quickly sorted out. When the empty bag was passed back to Lin Yifei, he was really embarrassed. But looking up again, many people looked at him gratefully.
In fact, Lin Yifei really wanted to talk to Chris, but unfortunately, he was silent all the way. This is something that can’t be helped, even when he and Chris had a good relationship in college, Lin Yifei was often the only one talking non-stop, while Chris listened quietly.
Finally, it was time to get off the bus. It was already past ten o'clock in the morning. Instead, the energetic children got off the bus with a disheveled face. Fortunately, the narrator arranged in the exhibition hall was young and energetic, and he told everyone in a few words. Amused. Lin Yifei, KK, and Mi Gao lined up to go in, listening to the commentator's explanation like good children, glancing around from the corner of the eye, and saw Chris looking up at a modern painting.
Lin Yifei sighed, Chris, why are you always so out of group
Even if the commentator is eloquent, Chris will always be apart from everyone else.
It was finally the time for lunch that KK was looking forward to. When everyone left the art gallery, Chris was still looking up at the painting.
Lin Yifei raised his eyebrows at KK, and walked quickly behind Chris.
"Do you like this "EYES" very much?" Lin Yifei smiled, but Chris ignored him.
"The lines are flying and the colors are gorgeous but not vulgar. But it's good to keep beautiful things in your memory. If you don't leave, you will have to take the subway back to school by yourself after the school bus leaves. The price is four times more expensive than taking the school bus!" Lin Yifei deliberately talked about the fare, because he knew that Chris's family was poor and he still cared about money.
Lin Yifei didn't wait for Chris to turn around, and trotted back to KK's group.
After getting in the car, KK finally found a chance to pull Lin Yifei to sit with him, and next to Chris sat the big fat man who sat with KK before.
The car drove all the way to the park, and the children got out of the car excitedly. The sun is just right, shrouded in a piece of green, and it looks full of vitality. KK took out the table cloth prepared in advance and spread it on the grass under the shade of the trees. Everyone took out the lunch they had prepared to share, but when Lin Yifei opened his lunch box, everyone twitched.
"Hey, do you want to try it? This is my mother's special, upgraded version of spicy chicken and boiled beef slices!" Lin Yifei's mother is very good at cooking Sichuan cuisine. In the beginning, they came to the United States with their father's salary. But soon Mama Lin found a job in a restaurant again, relying on this good craftsmanship.
"Huh..." Everyone was stunned, "You'd better enjoy yourself..."
With a smirk on his face, Lin Yifei came to Chris who was sitting alone, and deliberately said with a smug expression, "The last time you didn't get too spicy! It's because I didn't give you real Chinese Sichuan food! This time I promise you won't be able to swallow it!"
Chris frowned, and looked at Lin Yifei like a fly, "So what do you think?"
"How dare I do that? Come and try it?" Lin Yifei took out a dollar from his pocket, "I bet you won't be able to eat it all!"
