The customers who were slowly eating at the table were all middle-aged and elderly people who had long retired. Only they could sit at the small table with a cup of coffee and enjoy the delicacies without any worries.
Like most of the customers, Qin Guan handed over his change and walked out of the restaurant with the bag in his arms. In order to prevent the cream from solidifying, the waitress had wrapped the baguette with a thin layer of tinfoil, which was quite considerate.
The two of them walked into the campus while eating their traditional breakfast. Before they parted, they didn't forget to smile at each other. Thank you for coming to New York hand in hand. Thank you for your company.
Only in the dead of night would they not think of the bright moon in their hometown. Only in the early morning would they not look for the tofu pudding. Even the sweetness of the American doughnut could not stop the distance between them.
These two children fully reflected the strong flexibility of the Chinese people. It was just like after the Earth perished, the last human to survive would definitely be a Chinese.
Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei were only in their early twenties, but they were already living comfortably in New York.
Qin Guan entered the classroom quietly. Xu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the first row, was excited. He patted the seat next to him happily.
"Qin Guan, sit here. It's a good seat. You can interact with the professor."
Qin Guan looked at the seat next to Xu in confusion. As a lackey, I always leave a seat for Kuhn.
"Why isn't your friend here? What will he do if I sit here? "
An indescribable expression appeared on Xu Xiaoxiao's face when he heard Kuhn's name.
Qin Guan thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He seemed to be taking pleasure in Qin Guan's misfortune.
"Don't worry about it. I think Kuhn won't have time to manage the school. Besides, there are only a few of us in the classroom. There are plenty of empty seats."
Qin Guan thought that Xu must have been oppressed by Kuhn for a long time.
The thick-skinned Chinese kid might have behaved in Chinatown at night, but Xu had been studying at Columbia Preparatory School for many years. He must have known Kuhn's friend well.
"Fine. Since Kuhn can't come, let's sit together."
The space was good, and he didn't have to worry about being blocked by the people in the front row. Xu Xiaoxiao was quite suitable to be a lackey. Qin Guan sat down at the thought of that.
Professor Martin stepped into the classroom as the bell rang. It was still roll call, but one of his most promising students was absent. He frowned slightly.
"Who knows why Kuhn is absent today?"
Before he could finish his words, Kuhn barged into the classroom with his messy hair.
"Professor, I'm sorry. I'm late..."
His father's secretary and assistant didn't even return home when such a big thing happened at home. His mother, who only knew how to play and shop, was like a good-for-nothing who only knew how to call his father's hotline over and over again, or come to his room and cry.
Frustrated and irritated, he hurriedly completed the homework that he received in the middle of the night, not to mention the homework that he tossed aside after returning home.
That morning, he knew he should have asked for leave, but his stubborn personality forced him to come to Columbia University.
His every move was news to others. He couldn't give his father's political enemies any leverage. Kuhn's eyes twinkled as he looked at Qin Guan sitting in his old seat.
Xu Xiaoxiao was surprised, but there was no fear in his eyes. So what if he came? Do you think Kuhn is still your old self?
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but recall yesterday when he returned home. When he excitedly talked about his new classmates in front of his father, his father, who was afraid of everyone but himself, reminded him while stroking his stubble on his chin.
"Now you can stay away from Kuhn. There's no need to care about him anymore. Being a follower is something that you should only do when it's necessary," Lin Li said.
Although Manhattan was the main force of the financial circle, it was also necessary to pay attention to the influence of the political circle.
Kuhn's father, Lott, who was about to become the Majority Leader of the US Senate, had made such a remark at Thurmond's 100th birthday party. A compliment had caused big trouble.
Lott had praised the retiring senator at such a sensitive time. If Thurmond had been elected president in 1948, all the problems of the United States would have been solved, including the 9/11 attacks.
What a bold statement! Lott thought that he was going to hold the power of the Democratic Party, so he wanted to show off his power.
A cold light flashed in Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes, but it was hidden by his thick glasses.
"I'm sorry, Kuhn. I didn't expect you to come today. I thought you would ask for leave because of your family affairs. After all, no one could come to school as if nothing had happened."
"So this is your true nature, Kuhn? Are you cold-blooded or just acting tough? "
Qin Guan was surprised by Xu's sharp words. He was not good at quarreling, but he was not a fool. The Asian boy had to be nice to him.
Moreover, what kind of matter could cause him to disregard his image and make such a move of shedding all pretenses? It must be something I'm not familiar with. I'm an honest boy. I'd better not get involved in other people's fights.
Qin Guan tugged at Xu's T-shirt and motioned for him to look at Prof. Martin. The old man was so angry with the students that he almost died of anger.
Both of them looked down on him. One student stood in the first row without saying a word, and the other student spoke sarcastically. They were bullying him because he was old. If he was ten years younger, he would definitely beat the two brats until they were looking for their teeth on the ground!
Prof. Martin, you are an academic freak who has been hiding in a corner since junior high school. You are the captain of the school team.
Kuhn took a deep look at Xu. He didn't wait for Martin's Lion's Roar, but walked to the last row with his books in his arms.
Xu Xiaoxiao noticed that everyone's attention was diverted to the class. He sighed and pushed his glasses up his nose.
When Thurmond ran for president as a pro-segregation candidate, he declared, "All the laws of Washington and the bayonets of the army cannot force the Negroes into our homes, our schools, our churches, and our places of entertainment."
