Chapter 274: Operation Golden Thigh
Li Mingyue clearly felt the alienation between people around her and her.
The two classmates who were supporting her just extended their hands and hardly spoke to her.
Li Mingyue was not a very sociable person, and her ankle was injured again. Her face turned from red to white, and her head lowered lower.
She didn't understand. She had already given in under tremendous psychological pressure. What was wrong with making a big deal out of a small matter? Why didn't everyone appreciate her kindness?
Especially Lu Youyou, why does she have to step out when it’s none of her business!
Li Mingyue couldn't help but look up and saw many people surrounding Lu Youyou, vying to talk to her.
She moved her lips but ultimately said nothing. What's the use? Everyone has already been won over by Lu Youyou.
Lu Youyou didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic, and her simple patriotic sentiment suddenly surged because of those few words.
Those who previously thought she was an ice beauty now had the courage to talk to her. Lu Youyou didn't have much luggage to begin with, and now she couldn't even carry a single piece of it, so all of it was taken away by the enthusiastic classmates.
By the time they finished the formalities and customs clearance process, it was already early morning. The group met the foreign couple again in the departure hall.
Both of them were in first class. When they boarded the plane in advance, the man accurately located Lu Youyou and stared at her with an unfriendly look.
Someone in the team was chirping quietly.
“Why did they go in first?”
"It seems like the tickets are different? I heard that they are divided into different levels, and first class is given priority."
"Is there such a thing?"
"They are willing to spend money! Hey, hey, stop talking, we have to get on the plane, hurry up and catch up!"
For college students who grew up under the red flag and are used to equal distribution, the fact that air tickets are divided into different grades is quite shocking.
When everyone lined up to board the gangway, they found that all the people sitting in the spacious seats in the front were foreigners, and their seats were in the back.
The only large-scale transportation many people have taken is the train, but today's trains are like another world compared to airplanes.
From this moment on, the decadence and extravagance of the capitalist world began to impact the values of young people.
"It looks so nice!" Yu Qingtian looked around, touched the fabric on the seat and exclaimed, "So comfortable!"
Yu Qingtian is a physics student at Peking University and is also going to Stanford. Coincidentally, their seats are next to each other, and she kept taking the initiative to talk to Lu Youyou while queuing for boarding.
Going abroad always makes one a little uneasy. Lu Youyou pushed the foreigners back like cutting melons and vegetables, which undoubtedly gave Yu Qingtian a great sense of security.
As soon as they sat down, they saw Li Mingyue walk to the left, separated from Lu Youyou by only a corridor.
Li Mingyue didn't expect to be so close to Lu Youyou. Her face turned a little paler. After putting her luggage away, she kept her head down to avoid looking at Lu Youyou.
Yu Qingtian was determined to make friends with Lu Youyou. He glanced over there and muttered, "Why are you sitting with her? Really."
The voice was neither loud nor soft, just loud enough for Li Mingyue to hear. Yu Qingtian glanced at Lu Youyou's expression, thinking that if she responded, she would intensify her criticism.
In the end, Lu Youyou didn't say anything.
Yu Qingtian didn't want to give up. She was hoping to get to know Lu Youyou along the way so that she could take care of him when they arrived at Stanford.
Compared to other people's curiosity, longing, anxiety or fear, Lu Youyou's calmness and stability are really enviable.
Yu Qingtian was not clear about Lu Youyou's background, but she was sensitive enough to realize that she was definitely a golden thigh.
But, isn’t this golden thigh a bit difficult to hug?
Yu Qingtian kept opening up new topics, talking about his major, his curiosity about the United States, and his yearning for a new school...
She made full use of her social skills, but Lu Youyou stayed close to her.
For Lu Youyou, going abroad was nothing new. Her mind was full of her parents, Gu Qingye and the two furry children. She had no interest in chatting.
Yu Qingtian had no choice but to stop temporarily, but she endured it for a while and just couldn't calm down.
Everything on the plane was new and new. When she thought about flying to an altitude of 10,000 meters, she became so nervous that her breathing became rapid.
At first it was to get closer, and later it was purely to ease the tension.
"Student Lu, your English is really good. Did you learn it by yourself?"
"Student Lu, do you know Stanford? How is it different from our university?"
"Student Lu, do you know what America is like? Is everyone rich?"
“After we get our degrees in the U.S., can we continue our studies? Will the country support us?”
"Student Lu, you said we can work over there..."
Yu Qingtian suddenly stopped. She vaguely realized that she had spoken something and finally pulled her nerves back to normal.
Lu Youyou frowned slightly and glanced at the person beside him.
Just at this moment the plane began to taxi. Yu Qingtian had already closed his eyes, leaning against the seat back, with his seat belt buckled all the way in, and his index finger, which had turned white, tightly gripping the armrest.
Was what she just didn't finish saying her true feelings?
Lu Youyou had no intention of exploring other people's mental processes, but she knew that such things were inevitable when she was sent abroad on official business.
She couldn't remember where she had read a report that said that between 1978 and 1984, more than 26,000 students were sent abroad on government scholarships, but only more than 8,000 returned to China.
The loss ratio is alarmingly high, but they have to be sent continuously for the sake of national development.
I hope Yu Qingtian won’t be one of them.
Lu Youyou took out a neck pillow from her bag. She had drawn a rough draft and Gu Qingye had sewed it himself. There were also an eye mask, earplugs and a blanket that she had prepared in advance.
When the feeling of pushing on the back finally disappeared, Yu Qingtian opened her eyes carefully and found that Lu Youyou had fallen asleep peacefully. All the words she wanted to say were stuck in her mouth.
She pouted, but couldn't help but look at Lu Youyou's full set of equipment.
In the first hour or two, I thought Lu Youyou was pampered and pretentious, but then I realized how good her equipment was.
It was torture to stay in one position. I wanted to sleep but no matter which direction I tilted my head, it was wrong. Plus, the roar of the engine made my head buzz.
She really wanted to ask Lu Youyou if she had any more, but she didn't dare to wake her up. She endured for several hours until it was finally time for dinner.
Lu Youyou was awakened by the smell of food and was about to go to the toilet. Yu Qingtian seized the opportunity and quickly unbuckled his seat belt.
"Lu, wait for me, I'm with you!"
She didn't even dare to go to the toilet alone, for fear of falling down while walking in the cabin and being embarrassed.
Now that there was someone leading the way, she wished she could just walk closely alongside the deer.
She hesitated for a while and whispered, "Student Lu, can you wait for me later? Can we go back together?"
Seeing Lu Youyou nodded, Yu Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief.
This cold beauty doesn’t seem that difficult to deal with?
After returning to his seat, Yu Qingtian seemed to be encouraged and started the second phase of his attack on the thigh.
"Student Lu, what do you think they will give us to eat, meals or dry food?"
"Do those foreigners in front eat the same as us?"
