"Kevin asked me to give it to you. He is waiting for you and your friends here."
Lin Yifei opened the card, and the address of the hotel was written on it. He looked at Chris on the side, and asked in a low voice, "We can go."
"Why not?" Chris' answer made Lin Yifei happy.
It stands to reason that there will be many reporters interviewing after winning the championship, but Kevin slipped away, leaving the poor coach to answer countless questions from reporters.
Originally thought that Kevin would choose a big restaurant, but when they took a taxi there, they realized that it was a small restaurant on a side street. There was a lamp hanging in front of the door, and when the door was pushed open, the wind chime made a tinkling sound.
And Kevin had been sitting by the window with a smile on his face, waiting for them.
The blues was playing on the record player, and the whole restaurant was listening to soft music.
Lin Yifei and Chris went to him and sat down. There was an exquisite candlestick on the table, and the hollow place slanted out a dim light, which made people feel unnaturally relaxed.
"Haha, how did you escape from being surrounded by reporters?"
"I was wearing a sports cap and walked out among the staff." Although he was only wearing an ordinary casual shirt, Kevin's figure seemed to be the scenery in the window, making many passers-by stop and stare.
"How does it feel to be a champion?"
Kevin raised his head and looked at Chris: "Fortunately, I'm not the kind of person who is obsessed with the championship title. I only care about the opponent in front of me being able to give me an unparalleled experience."
"I won't keep you waiting for too long." Chris's voice was cool, and he took a sip of the black tea in front of him. That kind of demeanor matched Kevin's temperament, and Lin Yifei suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.
"Oh, you two are a couple."
Lin Yifei's words made Kevin laugh softly, even his shoulders were trembling.
Although the meals in this restaurant are not as refined as those in the big restaurants, they taste good and the atmosphere is good. After watching the tense game, sitting here even my heart floated.
Lin Yifei and Kevin have been discussing today's game, many technical and tactical things. After Kevin's commentary, Lin Yifei also feels that he has benefited a lot. Although before rebirth, he often discussed these things with Kevin, perhaps because at that time Kevin, everything reached its peak, and many opinions were different from now. What he said now is more suitable for the growing Lin Yifei.
And Chris is no longer so dull, and Kevin appreciates what he said.
The dinner was over, Lin Yifei and Chris were going back to the hotel.
"Hey, Lin." Kevin stopped him from the street.
"Ah? What's the matter?" Lin Yifei turned around.
"Grow up quickly, so that I can still have a chance to fight you in my golden age."
Lin Yifei raised the corner of his mouth, "Understood, master."
The two went back to the hotel, Lin Yifei was too full to eat and spread out on the sofa watching TV.
"Ah, I eat too much when I'm happy, and now I'm a little bloated..."
Chris packed his bags, they were going back to Washington tomorrow. In fact, he really wanted to spend two more days in London with Lin Yifei, but Ghosn Middle School had to go through the admission procedures, and they had to prepare for the tenth grade.
Both suitcases were ready, Chris sat down beside Lin Yifei, "Are you still uncomfortable? You can eat as much as you order."
"It's delicious, I won't be able to eat that kind of taste when I return to Washington." Lin Yifei lazily put his head on Chris's lap.
"When I go back to Washington, I will take you to eat delicious food." Chris' fingers brushed away the broken hair on his forehead.
"Hey, Chris... what's the best thing you've ever eaten?"
"Lion's head and tea eggs."
"Ah..." Lin Yifei looked into Chris's eyes, "Those are very common, you can eat them every day in Chinatown. There are many other snacks, don't I often eat them with you?"
"Lion's head dipped in chili oil."
After Chris said this, Lin Yifei understood what he was talking about, and felt a little moved in his heart.
The next morning, it took Chris another ten minutes to wake up Lin Yifei, and the two took the plane back to Washington.
A week later, they officially went through the formalities of entering Ghosn Middle School. Lin Yifei felt very lucky that he was still in the same school as Catherine and Ivy. Mother Lin reluctantly packed her son's luggage and asked him to take good care of himself. When he entered school, George drove to Chen Linji to pick him up downstairs, and Chris was already sitting inside.
"Chris, I know you and Xiaofei are very close, please help me take care of him, I don't feel at ease with his frizzy kid." Just as Mama Lin went downstairs, Chris got out of the car , Standing in front of Mother Lin with an attitude of respecting the elders.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of Xiao Fei." Chris made a solemn promise.
"I don't have to worry about anything when I leave it to you, my son... it's the first time I live outside."
Mama Lin's words made Lin Yifei more and more embarrassed. It sounded like Lin Yifei married off from the Lin family and gave it to Chris...
"Mom—it's not too far away. Although Ghosn Middle School is in the suburbs, it still belongs to Washington! I will come back every month!"
Fortunately, Papa Lin came out and took Mama Lin upstairs, then blinked and gestured "Go" to Lin Yifei.
Sitting in the car, Lin Yifei looked back at Chen Linji's plaque. Although he knew that one day he would leave this Chinatown and go to a wider place, but when such a day really came, Lin Yifei still felt a lot of reluctance.
Ghosn's fencing in the seventh to ninth grades was average, but the fencing in the high school from the tenth grade, especially the saber, is well-known throughout the country, and many universities will come here to find talents. Although its residential area is in the suburbs, it has complete facilities and is like a community. Lin Yifei and Chris walked on the campus, looking at the teaching facilities one after another, Lin Yifei really felt like walking into a comprehensive university. Some students wearing school uniforms with books between them passed by, their faces did not have that kind of overly proud expression, which was very different from Griffith. If Griffith is the elite school, then Ghosn is the elite.
Before they had time to visit other teaching buildings and libraries, Lin Yifei and Chris were led to the student dormitory.
The moment he opened the door, Lin Yifei sighed.
"Ah... this is better than my room!"
The dormitory is bright and spacious, and it is a double room. Both beds are equipped with bedside tables, two wardrobes, bookshelves, and desks are all complete, and there is wireless network coverage throughout the school. Lin Yifei sat on the mattress, thinking that he did not have such good conditions when he was studying in New York University.
Chris put away the bed on the left first, and then patted Lin Yifei.
He was like a little master, lying on Chris's bed and watching him make another bed. After tidying up the bed, he hung up the clothes of the two of them and put them in the closet, his movements were clean and neat.
"Hey, if you are a woman, you must be super virtuous, so I will marry you as my wife." Lin Yifei tiptoed his toes, and rested his head on his arm in a whimsical way.
"It doesn't matter if I'm not a woman, I can still marry you." After Chris finished speaking, he took out the toothpaste, toothbrush and towels he bought in advance and walked into the bathroom. After all, the student dormitory is not a five-star hotel. There is no bathtub in the bathroom, but it is quite tidy.
It was almost noon in a blink of an eye, someone knocked on their door, and Ivy's baby face came in: "Hey! Lin! I will live next door to you!"
"Really?" Lin Yifei jumped down from the boat, "I don't know if Catherine is here!"
"She should be in another dormitory area! Ah, I really want to see the afternoon shift schedule! I really hope to be in the same class as you!"
"Hey, I think so too." Lin Yifei looked at Chris, "Hey! Let's have lunch together! Then go check the shift schedule!"
"Yeah." Chris responded softly.
The school restaurant has become a sea of newborns. Everyone was discussing excitedly, and Lin Yifei finally found Catherine, and the four of them got together.
"I saw the dormitory, it's really great. The roommates are also nice, and now I'm looking forward to life in the new semester!" Catherine was delighted, "Of course, there is also the fencing department here!"
"It's best that our four classes can be together!" Ivy's eyes were full of hope.
Lin Yifei raised his head and enjoyed the food: "I only know that I will gain weight here... because the food here is so delicious! No wonder Ghosn's living expenses are so expensive, now that I think about it, it's worth it!"
A student in Ghosn's school uniform walks up to their table, a freckled, fair-skinned student. But looking at the body line set off by the school uniform, Lin Yifei guessed that this guy should be quite strong.
"Hey, hello, I'm a twelfth grade student in the fencing department, and my name is Pen Affleck."
Hearing his introduction, Ivy was a little nervous and was about to stand up. Pan smiled and pressed his shoulders: "Don't be so nervous, I just came here for dinner. I didn't expect to see two guys who are famous in the middle school fencing world .”
Lin Yifei shook hands with Pan very politely, while Chris just nodded slightly.
"Lin, I watched your national league final. It was very exciting. There are a few guys in the fencing department who have been looking forward to practicing with you. I hope you don't think that when those guys challenge you They are bullying you with wheel wars."
Lin Yifei was not always praised by others, and Pan said this made him feel embarrassed.
"And you, Chris. The girls in the fencing department are already waiting for you, the Iceberg Prince. But you also put a lot of pressure on us seniors. When the coach showed us your game video, And ask us who can breathe smoothly under your low-pressure aura?"
"I guess a lot of people can."
Lin Yifei bumped Chris with his shoulder, and he reached out to shake hands with Pan.
"Okay, let's continue to enjoy lunch without disturbing you. I believe you will all join the fencing department. Our saber team is waiting for you." Pan smiled and walked towards several other students in uniform. The two girls looked at Chris. Whispered up.
"Wow, Chris, I can't tell you've won the hearts of many seniors!"
"It's enough to have you." Chris said in Chinese with a calm expression.
