Chapter 285 Social
Gladstone University, M country.
As an exchange student, Su Jingyao's life in a foreign country is fulfilling and colorful.
In addition to daily classes and studying in the library, Su Jingyao also actively participates in various activities organized by the school.
Glastonbury holds various cultural festivals and social gatherings. Su Jingyao has never been one to let learning alone fill her life. Since she came to Country M as an exchange student, she was determined to fully experience the educational environment and cultural atmosphere that are completely different from those in China.
After a month of getting familiar with the school, I found that adaptation is not the same as identification.
She clearly felt that the atmosphere abroad was relatively more open. Su Jingyao had always believed that her ideas were not conservative, but after staying in this environment for a while, she realized that she had overestimated herself.
Take her roommates for example, they often stay out all night. They hold the idea that women should enjoy the present moment to the fullest and fully accept their young bodies and the desires generated by their bodies.
In their view, physical pleasure can bring spiritual satisfaction, and openness does not mean indulgence. After thinking about it, Su Jingyao felt that this idea made sense. The country really cares too much about x.
Tonight, at the invitation of her roommates, Su Jingyao came to Aurora Lounge.
The people who come here are all students from nearby universities. They come from all over the world, with different skin colors and different languages intertwined together, forming a unique atmosphere.
The roommates all dressed up carefully, and Su Jingyao was no exception.
She has always believed that only an outstanding self can attract equally outstanding people, whether they are friends or lovers.
She looked at herself in the mirror with a focused expression, picked up a curling iron, and slowly curled her long black straight hair into big waves. Then, she carefully put on an extremely charming makeup.
The upturned eyeliner adds a touch of charm to her eyes, and the seductive red lips are bright and juicy, like a blooming rose. She wears a black halter dress that doesn't reach above the knee.
The skirt fits her slender curves, showing off her figure perfectly. Her exposed skin is as white as porcelain, emitting a soft glow under the light.
Because Su Jingyao is 168 cm tall, she wore a pair of low and exquisite sandals decorated with sparkling stars, and the laces were gently wrapped around her slender ankles.
After I got dressed, my roommates were almost done too.
They looked at Su Jingyao with very exaggerated expressions, their mouths opened into an "O" shape, and finally began to praise her exaggeratedly. Su Jingyao had become accustomed to it. In foreign countries, no matter whether they are boys or girls, compliments always come out of their mouths, which makes people happy.
Who doesn't like to be praised? We should gladly accept compliments from others.
As night slowly falls like a velvet curtain, Aurora Lounge seems to have passed through a mysterious portal in time.
When Su Jingyao stepped into the lounge, she saw soft and gorgeous lights intertwining like dreamy ribbons. The huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling refracted countless tiny rays of light. In the center of the lounge was a spacious elliptical bar made of dark walnut, exuding a mellow wood aroma.
The bartenders, dressed in neat white shirts and black bow ties, swung the cocktail shakers with expert technique.
The lounge is surrounded by comfortable booths. The dark purple velvet curtains add a sense of luxury and privacy to the booths, allowing people to relax here. On the stage, a graceful female singer is crooning a lazy jazz song. Her voice is like silky chocolate, full of magnetism and appeal.
Su Jingyao and the others walked straight to a booth in the back, where a group of men and women had already started drinking.
People who are slightly tipsy will go directly to the middle and dance to the music, full of energy and passion.
"Wow, this is Yao from Country Z? I've heard that she's a very pretty oriental beauty. When I saw her today, she really didn't disappoint me."
A white girl with European and American looks greeted Su Jingyao exaggeratedly.
Su Jingyao nodded slightly and said in return: "Thank you, I am very happy to hear you say that. You are also very beautiful."
I sat in a booth with my roommates and joined their games.
It's a very old-fashioned truth or dare, a common ice-breaking game. These people are all exchange students from various countries who came to Glastonbury. They are not very familiar with each other. This kind of game can help them quickly get to know some people they want to know.
Su Jingyao played several rounds, and just when she was secretly congratulating herself on her good luck, her fate suddenly took a turn and she lost.
In truth or dare, the choice is not made by the loser, but by the winner.
The winner happened to be the white girl who had just greeted her enthusiastically. The girl had a malicious smile on her face, a cunning light flashing in her eyes, and she looked like she was watching a show.
"Yao, big adventure! Find a handsome guy here that you don't know and ask for his contact information."
Su Jingyao sighed helplessly and began to look around. After a thorough inspection, she finally saw a boy whose appearance met her standards.
He sat alone at the bar drinking, and there seemed to be an invisible barrier around him, and no one disturbed him.
The other good-looking handsome guys were all accompanied by female companions or in groups. Su Jingyao felt that it would be easier to target the handsome guy who was alone.
She stood up and walked towards the boy.
As she got closer, Su Jingyao could see the boy's face more clearly.
The facial contours are clear, the edges and corners are as sharp as a knife, yet soft.
With a high nose bridge, deep eyes and slightly upturned eyebrows, he looks like a mixed-race.
Su Jingyao sat next to him, raised her chin slightly, and spoke fluent English, "Hello, is it convenient for me to get to know you?"
The boy ignored her, feeling unhappy.
He didn't expect that there would be girls who would approach him without knowing the good thing. He was a frequent visitor here and also the owner of this lounge.
Regular customers who come here all know his rules: he only drinks and doesn't play with women.
The boy raised his eyes and glanced at her. He couldn't see her face clearly in the dim light, but he felt that she was dressed very gorgeously like the other girls.
"New here?" He asked in a cold tone.
Su Jingyao was surprised by his reaction and said truthfully, "I am an exchange student from Glastonbury and this is my first time in Aurora Lounge."
The bartender at the side saw Su Jingyao's confusion and quickly explained to her: "Miss, this gentleman does not add anyone's contact information. This lounge has an unwritten rule that you cannot disturb this gentleman when he is here. If someone does not listen to the advice, Aurora Lounge can ban him from entering."
Su Jingyao suddenly realized that she had picked a difficult person. A trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. She turned to look at the boy with an apologetic look in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I don't know the rules here. I wanted to make a friend, but since we are not destined to meet today, I won't bother you anymore."
Su Jingyao also turned around and left without any hesitation.
A group of college students passed by another booth and she randomly added one of them to her contact information.
The boy drinking at the bar had an indifferent look in his eyes, and showed no reaction at all when Su Jingyao left.
Su Jingyao got the contact information and went back. The white girl apologized and said, "Yao, I just saw you looking for that boy at the bar. I was so scared that I didn't have time to tell you. Don't mess with that boy."
She didn't say much, just warned Su Jingyao not to provoke him.
Su Jingyao wasn't someone who liked to cause trouble. Safety was the most important thing when abroad, so she nodded. Everyone had a great time and it was almost time to go back.
After Su Jingyao returned to the dormitory, she took a short rest and then turned on her mobile phone and saw the message from Shen Siyu.
She was unfamiliar with the place in a foreign country, so she told Shen Siyu and another girl who was also an exchange student but studying a different major about her trip tonight.
Shen Siyu: [Is it over? ]
Su Jingyao: [It’s over. Thank you, Senior Shen, for being responsible for my safety tonight~]
Shen Siyu: [Coming abroad as an exchange student, getting along with everyone, and communicating with people from different countries is more meaningful than simply studying. But you are a girl, and I am very happy that you can tell me when you go out to play today. You have a good sense of safety.]
Su Jingyao: [Of course (proud expression)]
Su Jingyao: [Senior Shen, please go to bed early. I'm already at the dormitory and will wash up right away.]
Shen Siyu: [Okay, go to bed early, good night. ]
Su Jingyao: [Good night (cute emoticon package)]
Su Jingyao quickly reported to the girl that she was safe, then began to remove her makeup, wash up, and change into comfortable pajamas. She seemed to relax and exuded a lazy aura.
Suddenly, she felt something was wrong with her body.
After thinking about the time, I suddenly ran to the bathroom to check, and sure enough, she had her period......
But she seemed to have no sanitary napkins. After asking her roommate for help, she found out that her roommate only had day-use ones. She used one first, and it seemed that she would have to use night-use ones at night.
Su Jingyao decided to go downstairs to the school's 24 convenience store to buy it.
She walked out of the dormitory building, and the night breeze gently brushed across her face, bringing a hint of coolness.
The sign of the 24-hour convenience store was emitting light, illuminating the area. As soon as Su Jingyao walked into the convenience store, she spotted a familiar person.
She was surprised: "It's you?"
The boy was wearing a black hooded top.
Hearing the sound, he turned to look in the direction where the sound came from.
Su Jingyao was not wearing any makeup at this time, her skin was fair and delicate, and her long hair was casually scattered. She no longer had the gorgeousness she had just had in the lounge, but the pure sweetness unique to Asian girls.
"Follow me?"
The boy frowned and questioned, his eyes revealing a hint of vigilance and displeasure.
Su Jingyao was speechless for a moment. Her originally polite face turned cold in an instant. She ignored him, bought the sanitary napkins, swiped her card and left.
The boy realized at this point that he was making a big deal out of nothing, but he had encountered this kind of situation too many times and didn't have time to think about it.
"Hey, didn't you want my contact information today? I'll give it to you."
The boy said this to Su Jingyao's back.
Su Jingyao was even more speechless. She continued walking towards the dormitory without stopping.
The boy took a few quick steps and stood in front of her.
He is of mixed blood, with deep eyes that are drooping like a deep pool that can easily make people fall into it, but what is revealed in them is indifference.
"I was wrong. I want to get to know you. Can we exchange contact information?"
"Can't."
Su Jingyao refused without hesitation, then walked around him and left.
The boy looked at her from behind and suddenly smiled. She looked better without makeup. Her face looked pure and delicate, but her personality was quite spicy.
