Chapter 77: Stimulating Sensation
Ruth slowly let go of Lin San, her face bright red.
John stared blankly at Rose: "Rose, you...you..."
Ruth gave John a look: "Now believe he is my boyfriend."
John's face is extremely ugly now, his fists clenched tightly.
"John, I'm warning you: if you dare touch my boyfriend today, I'll go tell my dad that you're bullying me." Ruth brought out her trump card - her old man.
John's mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. Rose's old man had a lot of influence in this city, and was definitely not someone John could afford to offend.
"While I'm still in a good mood, get out of here at once!" Rose said coldly.
John took a deep breath, glared at Lin San with hatred, and turned around to lead several classmates out of the classroom.
"This John is really annoying." Ruth said with disgust.
Lin San smiled and gazed at Rose without saying a word.
Ruth glanced at Lin San, her face slightly red: "Lin San, sorry, I just...".
"What just happened I've all forgotten." Lin San laughed and said.
"Have you forgotten?" Ruth raised her head and looked at Lin San with suspicion.
Lin San nodded lightly: "My memory is really bad."
"Ding ding ding......" The class bell suddenly rang out.
"After school, I'll treat you to dinner." With that, Ruth returned to her own seat.
Lin San shook his head and opened his notebook.
Soon, an old professor walked into the classroom in eight-character steps, got on the podium, cleared his throat, and began to lecture.
Lin San listened very attentively, from time to time writing down the key points of the professor's explanation in his notebook.
The old professor's speech was humorous and interesting, from time to time making the students laugh loudly.
Ruth's mind was a bit messy at this time, and she would occasionally glance at Lin San diagonally opposite her with a complex expression. Earlier, Ruth had deliberately said that Lin San was her boyfriend in order to prevent John from hurting him, and even took the initiative to kiss Lin San, which was actually Ruth's first kiss.
"Ruth." The old professor on the podium suddenly shouted.
Ruth seemed not to have heard the old professor's shout and sat on the chair in a daze.
"Ruth!" The old professor raised his tone slightly.
Ruth remained unresponsive.
At this time, a girl stretched out her hand and gently touched Lucy.
"Huh?" Ruth finally came back to her senses and looked at the girl who pushed her in confusion.
The girl pointed to the podium with her hand and whispered: "The professor is calling you."
"Ah?" Ruth was taken aback, then came to her senses, hastily getting up from her seat and bowing slightly to the old professor on the podium: "Professor, did you call me?"
The old professor glanced at Rose and looked somewhat displeased: "Rose, why were you distracted just now?"
"Ah...ah..." Ruth stuttered and couldn't get a word out.
"Is it that you don't like listening to the lessons I teach?" The old professor said in a low voice, as a teacher, the most unbearable thing should be encountering students who are distracted during class.
"No, no, I love listening to your lectures." Ruth shook her head hastily.
"Then why did you fall asleep in class?" The old professor's face softened a bit.
"I...I'm just a bit uncomfortable." Ruth thought quickly and came up with a fairly reasonable excuse, not that she didn't want to pay attention to the lecture, but that her body was a bit uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but be distracted.
"Oh? Why didn't you say so earlier? Do you want to go to the infirmary for a check-up?" The old professor said with concern.
Ruth shook her head: "No need, just a headache, rest for a while and it will be fine. Professor, I'm really sorry to have made you angry."
The old professor smiled and said: "Don't say that, you didn't do it on purpose. Alright, since you're not feeling well, sit down quickly. If you really can't hold on, go to the infirmary for a check-up."
"Thank you, Professor." Ruth said with gratitude and slowly made her way to her seat.
The old professor adjusted his state and continued to lecture.
This time, Ruth didn't dare to be distracted again, concentrating her mind to listen to the old professor's explanation of knowledge, occasionally writing on her notebook.
Before long, the school bell rang.
The old professor finished his last sentence, bid farewell to everyone, and left the classroom with his hands behind his back.
Lin San closed his notebook and stood up, intending to leave the classroom.
"Lin San." Ruth walked over with a delicate little suitcase.
Lin San smiled and said: "Is there something?"
"Didn't I just say that I'd treat you to dinner after school? Have you forgotten already?" Ruth's face showed a hint of discontent.
"Is what you're saying true?" Lin San was taken aback.
"Does it look like I'm joking with you? Alright, it's getting late, let's go." She said, pulling Lin San's hand and leaving the classroom.
Out of the building, Rose let Lin San wait under the teaching building and went to the parking lot.
Lin San was waiting alone under the teaching building, originally Lin San did not plan to accompany Rose to eat, but seeing Rose's enthusiasm, Lin San really couldn't bear to refuse.
A few minutes later, a red sports car stopped in front of Lin San. The window rolled down, revealing Rose's pretty face: "Lin San, get in!"
Lin San opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat.
"Alright, let's go!" Ruth reminded, stepping on the accelerator, and the sports car sped out. Ruth drove very aggressively, and as soon as they left the campus, she accelerated to 100 miles per hour. However, Ruth's driving skills were really good, and inside the car, you couldn't feel a single bump.
Half an hour later, the sports car stopped in front of a luxurious hotel.
Ruth tossed the car keys to the doorman, who was responsible for driving customers' cars down to the underground parking garage, and then led Lin San into the hotel.
Ruth led Lin San to the 8th floor with familiarity, ordered a luxurious private room, and then ordered a table of sumptuous food and wine.
The food in Country M is quite different from that of China, with a unique flavor. Chinese cuisine is simple and delicious, mainly consisting of grains, vegetables, meat, and seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, with cooking methods including boiling, stir-frying, steaming, braising, stewing, and frying. In contrast, Country M's cuisine focuses on bread, vegetables, and meat, with a emphasis on sauces, and the way of eating is more complex. Overall, each has its own advantages and benefits, but if we're talking about the variety of dishes, China's is still richer.
Ruth may look like a girl, but she can drink quite a lot, having several cups in a row without changing her complexion one bit.
Lin San is not very fond of wine, most are dishes on the dinner table.
"Lin San, how long have you been at Roosevelt University?" Ruth picked up the wine bottle and refilled Lin San's glass.
Lin San picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth: "One year."
"Ah? Only one year...?" Rose felt a little disappointed.
"A year is a long time, it's over 300 days." Lin San picked up a chicken leg and started gnawing on it.
"Then will you stay in the United States after graduation?" Ruth said: "If you plan to stay in the US, I can help you find a good job. The salary is absolutely several times that of Hua Xia, and the work is very easy."
Lin San slightly shook his head: "I don't plan on staying in M country."
"Why?" Ruth couldn't help but ask.
Lin San smiled and said, "It's simple, I am a Chinese." Lin San's meaning was very clear, being a Chinese means staying in China to develop.
Ruth lowered her head and didn't say another word.
"What's wrong?" Lin San noticed that Rose seemed a bit unhappy.
Ruth shook her head: "Nothing... come on, let's have a drink!" As she spoke, Ruth raised her glass.
Lin San picked up his wine glass and gently touched it with Rose's, then tilted his head back and poured the wine into his mouth.
Next, Ruth did not ask Lin San about staying in M country again, but talked to Lin San about some of her own experiences.
Lin San ate and drank while listening with great interest to Rose's experiences.
This meal lasted for more than two hours before it ended.
After leaving the hotel, Rose invited Lin San to go shopping.
Lin San refused and waved goodbye to Rose, then took a taxi and left. Originally, Rose wanted to drive Lin San back home, but was rejected by Lin San, who didn't want Rose to know where she lived.
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
For these two days, Lin San was still the same as before, coming to school early every day for classes and returning to the hotel early after school to eat and rest.
Ruth always gathers around Lin San to chat after school, occasionally invites Lin San to eat and go shopping, but they are all rejected by Lin San with excuses.
Today is Friday, tomorrow will be a two-day holiday.
After school, Lin San tidied up and left the classroom with his notebook.
"Lin San!" Ruth called out as she chased after him.
"Anything wrong?" Lin San turned his head and asked.
"Are you free this afternoon? Let's go to the amusement park, I heard they just got a new spinning teacup ride, it's so thrilling and fun!" Rose invited.
"No, I'm not really interested in Entertainment City." Lin San shook his head.
"Why don't we go to the museum to see some historical relics? We can also go to the aquarium to see the underwater world." Ruth looked at Lin San with anticipation.
Seeing Ruth's expectant expression, Lin San felt embarrassed to refuse for a moment. Actually, in the past few days, Lin San had discovered that Ruth seemed to have developed feelings for him. As for Ruth, this smart and beautiful girl, Lin San also had a good impression of her. However, Lin San was only staying in M country for one year, and after that, he would return home, probably never to come back to M country again. So, Lin San deliberately kept his distance from Ruth, not wanting to hurt her.
"Just agree with me." Ruth stretched out her hand and shook Lin San's arm.
Lin San sighed and nodded: "Okay."
"Hurray!" Ruth exclaimed excitedly, pulling Lin San's hand and walking out of the teaching building.
The amusement park is not far from Roosevelt University, just a few turns away.
People in Country M pay great attention to enjoying their leisure life. This entertainment city is built very large, and the entertainment facilities are also very comprehensive and novel.
As soon as she entered the amusement park, Ruth seemed to have changed into a different person, wildly shouting, jumping and playing with all sorts of entertainment facilities.
Lin San bought a bottle of Coke and stood aside, watching Rose play.
Ruth played for a while, then pulled Lin San to play the roller coaster. Lin San had lived for more than 20 years and it was his first time taking a roller coaster ride. He felt extremely excited and thrilled with a hint of adventurous stimulation.
