It’s still a bit far to the aquarium here, more than 40 kilometers, and it takes more than 40 minutes to drive. If you encounter a traffic jam, it will take even longer.
However, maybe because Chen Feng was there, he was very lucky. He didn't encounter traffic jams along the way. He only took more than half an hour to arrive at his destination.
The aquarium in Los Angeles is not very big, with only two floors and the size of three football fields. It is very lively as soon as you enter and there are many children.
Maybe because today is Sunday, it is basically the adults who come with their children.
This place stipulates that children under the age of three are free, for those aged 3 to 11, for those aged 30 and for adults, $45.
This price is of course relatively expensive in China, but it is relatively cheap here.
The aquarium contains fish, sharks, mammals and birds from different parts of the Pacific Ocean, and can touch manta rays, sharks, and even moon jellyfish.
The exhibition area of the aquarium is designed with great care, and each area displays a different marine ecosystem.
There is a tropical fish exhibition area, and colorful coral fish shuttle between the aquatic plants, red, yellow and blue, like the palette of nature.
In the jellyfish hall, jellyfish of different shapes float in the transparent water tank. They dance their tentacles lightly, and they look like dreamy elves under the light.
There is also a shark tunnel. Standing in a transparent passage, there are sharks swimming slowly overhead, which feels very dreamy.
The most popular one is the Penguin Exhibition Area. Because there are performances here, they jump into the water, swim flexibly like bullets, and then climb to the shore, swaying around and swaying. , which made many tourists around laugh.
Qin Xiaorou, Brina and Molly are no exception. Chen Feng didn't laugh, but he also felt that these penguins were trained quite well.
It was almost noon that everyone was a little hungry, so they came out of the aquarium and went to have dinner around.
Led by the local Blina, the four of them walked for a few minutes and went to a seafood restaurant next to them. It was in a buffet form and contained a lot of seafood delicacies.
Everyone can make some to eat according to their favorites, and there are a few flavors that are still good.
Just as the four of them were sitting on a terrace, eating and watching the scenery around the small round table, Qin Xiaorou's cell phone rang.
She took a look and found that it was her classmate who called it and answered after hesitating. "Hi, Mary, is there anything wrong?" Qin Xiaorou asked casually.
This Mary is a black girl, but she is not completely black because only her dad is purebred black, while her mom is just a multinational mixed-race child of black blood.
The relationship between the two was average, but it happened that Mary was also the childhood friend of Qin Xiaorou's previous best friend who died unexpectedly. After the best friend passed away, both of them were very sad, and then the relationship gradually became closer. .
But the relationship between each other obviously cannot be compared with that best friend who died unexpectedly, but compared with other classmates in the class, Qin Xiaorou and Mari have the best relationship.
"Rus (English name), it's really scary. Have you heard of it? The short, thin and highly myopic Jiewen in the next class went crazy today, and he actually stole it. His father's pistol was secretly taken to the school and killed two of his classmates who usually bullied him. Later, he even shot everywhere crazy. Several people passing by in the corridor were injured. Ruiwen of the class was very unlucky and was still in the hospital for rescue.
We were all frightened at that time, but Bob reacted quickly, so he went over and locked the classroom door. Otherwise, who would I know how many people he will kill after he goes crazy. It's really crazy. I'm so scared when I think about it now, and my legs are still shaking. You are so lucky that you just took a leave today, otherwise you would definitely have experienced this like me. Something bad is going to happen."
Qin Xiaorou was stunned for a while after hearing Mary's narration, then asked in surprise: "You weren't kidding me, are you? Is this true?"
Mary immediately said: "Of course it's true, If you don't believe it, go search online. There are news reports."
"Okay, then I'll check it."
Qin Xiaorou was not vague. After saying that, she hung up the phone immediately and then used it. Searched on the phone.
Sure enough, as soon as she searched for the name of her school, the news came out and the headlines came out.
Although there have been many campus shootings in Miliga, every time it happens, it is undoubtedly a headline, and even the world's headlines.
This time the assailant was a middle school student who had been bullied in school for a long time. A nerd who looked gentle, timid and cowardly. Her name was Jiewen. She was in the class next to her. She had seen her with her own eyes before. He was bullied several times, and he was also known.
I really didn't expect that this 16 or 7-year-old boy who seemed very cowardly on the surface would suddenly do such a big "feat".
Qin Xiaorou can only guess that either Jiewen suddenly went crazy, or that the two people who were shot and killed by him bullied him so fiercely that he could not bear it anymore, so he would do this A crazy thing.
After reading a few news reports, Qin Xiaorou suddenly remembered Chen Feng's insistence on asking her to take leave this time, including what Chen Feng said before, his right eyelid was twitching, and she felt that she was in danger.
Is Chen Feng’s so-called premonition really so effective?
If Chen Feng hadn't stopped her, she might have been a victim, which immediately made her scared.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiaorou stared at Chen Feng with some complexity and curiosity for a while, then asked directly: "Uncle, do you know how good or bad people are?"
Chen Feng was briefly a little After being stunned, thinking of the phone call she answered just now, he asked with a smile: "What, what's wrong with your school?" Qin Xiaorou nodded and said: "A shooting occurred in our school, two people died. , several students were injured. ”
It's true.
Chen Feng was not surprised by this, because he had sensed it before.
Brina and Molly who were listening on the side were not too surprised. After all, Chen Feng had known that they had known about the danger in advance.
However, they all picked up their mobile phones to search for related news, and they found it very easily.
"God!"
After Molly read the news briefs on her phone, she exclaimed in surprise.
After all, two people died, several were injured, and some were seriously injured, and the scene was still in school, which was shocked and unacceptable to everyone with a conscience.
After seeing it, Briena also frowned. "Uncle, you haven't answered my question just now. Are you guessing this time or can you see it from my face?" Qin Xiaorou is really curious.
"Just think it's seen from the face." Chen Feng answered perfunctorily. "Really and false? Do you really know how to look at the photos?" Qin Xiaorou was a little skeptical, but Chen Feng did calculate correctly this time, and she obviously prefers to believe it.
"Okay, just think you know how to look at the photos. Thank you very much this time, otherwise even if nothing happened to me, I would be very embarrassed and would be frightened." Chen Feng shook his head and said, " Now I am really starting to worry about your safety issues here. This kind of thing can happen in school. It is really insecure to continue studying here. Otherwise, you can switch to a domestic school. .”
Qin Xiaorou looked at Chen Feng and asked, "Can you convince my mother? She dreamed that I would study Ivy here, and the second thing was to return to China for free and go to the top universities in China. This is her life plan for me, and she had already arranged it for me. OK."
Chen Feng said, "You send her the news of this campus shooting to see if she can still insist on letting you study here."
Qin Xiaorou shook her head "It's not interesting to go back to China to study. The domestic study exam is too much, and the competition pressure is very high. I'm here In China, my academic performance was not very good, and at most I was at an average level. The probability of passing the college entrance examination normally was very small.
I don’t want to work hard and go to the top domestic universities. Studying and taking exams is too tiring. I think it is good to be able to easily go to top domestic universities by relying on the advantages of foreigners. Anyway, many people do this and take advantage of me, and there is not much more than me. Do you think it is?"
Just on the truth, Chen Feng could not refute it.
If he had this method and convenient way in the past, he would not have been able to calm down and study hard. He got up at five o'clock in the morning and went to bed at eleven o'clock in the evening. He had endless questions every day. There are endless test papers, and we will compete with tens of millions of candidates for the pitifully few first-class university places.
This is like the difference between hiking and riding a bus.
Ordinary people can only reach their destination honestly with their legs, but those who are rich and related can take cars or even planes. Which one saves time and effort and which one is convenient and convenient is clear at a glance.
"Okay, you can read this yourself. I'm afraid that your mother will be so scared that she will let you return to China overnight after she knows this news."
"No." Qin Xiaorou shook her head and said, " My mother is not so mentally fragile, nor is she as worried about my safety as you think.”
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Chen Feng retorted: "I think you are biased against your mother. If such a thing happened, your mother would definitely be very worried. Even if you don't let you go back to study, you will definitely care about you very much. Personal safety."
"Then let's wait and see how she will react when she knows it."
"Okay, if you know, let's tell me. I'm very curious What will your mother react when she knows this? "
Qin Xiaorou glanced at him and said, "Then tell her about this now and see how she reacted."
Chen Feng looked at the time and said, "It's 12:30 am here now, and it's only 4:30 am in the morning in China, and it's still early."
When he said this, he suddenly remembered something and asked, " Don't your dad and your stepmother know about this? Didn't you contact you?" Qin Xiaorou curled her lips and said, "I've told you a long time ago that they spend most of their time in the laboratory every day. , If their phones are turned off during the experiment, they will not contact the outside world. "
Chen Feng was stunned when he heard it and wanted to ask: Then what if something happens outside, wouldn't it be isolated No help?
Qin Xiaorou is really in trouble! This biological father doesn't look very reliable, and as for stepmothers, there is no need to ask for it.
Chen Feng asked: "Then your dad should have a nanny at home, right? Otherwise, there will be no one when you go back, and you can't be responsible for washing, cooking, cleaning, right?"
"There is a nanny, an aunt in Fujian, China I have been working for several years and I am considered an unemployed worker. I have been in my dad's house for five or six years. I am very good at talking, but I am very diligent, and the dishes I cook are delicious."
Chen Feng felt much more relieved when he heard this, otherwise her parents would not be around. If she was the only one and no one took care of her daily life, she would be miserable.
Molly had read the news on her mobile phone at this time, and asked Qin Xiaorou curiously: "Do you know this gunman named Jiewen? He is a student."
Qin Xiaorou glanced at her. She glanced at Molly and didn't want to answer, but for Chen Feng's sake, she couldn't show off her face, so she said, "I've seen each other a few times. I don't know anyone next to me."
< br>
Molly asked again: "Did he be bullied for a long time in school?"
Qin Xiaorou was too lazy to answer, but in the end she was hummed for Chen Feng's sake.
Molly sighed and said, "Those two people who were shot and killed by him must have bullied him for a long time. It was indeed a cause and effect."
Blina He said in a little indignantly, "Those two should be damned."
Molly said, "But the other injured people should be innocent. No matter what, it is not worth it to shoot others." Sorry."
Brinna said lightly: "When the avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent."
Molly knew what she said, and shook her head and said: "This is not absolutely correct, news The report said that the two killed guys who bullyed this gunman were basically the two killed guys. Even if others may follow and laugh at him, everyone is not a bad guy. There are always innocent people. But this A famous gunman ran away into the corridor Students fired randomly, this was simply a devilish behavior and it was really not worthy of sympathy."
Blina nodded and agreed: "This is true, this gunman is indeed very cruel and has lost his mind."
Molly smiled and joked, "Xiaorou escaped a disaster today. If she didn't ask for leave, the consequences would be unimaginable. Xiaorou, how should you thank your uncle?"
Qin Xiaorou glanced at her , no response.
Just when Molly felt a little embarrassed, Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "What are you grateful for? I am her elder..."
Qin Xiaorou immediately interrupted, "You are not my elder, we have always been peer-to-peer discussions. "Then why are you calling me uncle?" "Didn't you tell you? I'm used to calling me." "
"Call me brother, really No? ”
"No."
...
The four of them stayed in this seafood restaurant for more than an hour, and then left after eating a lot of things.
When everyone got into the car and planned to return to the hotel, Qin Xiaorou's cell phone ringing again. When she saw that it was her father's, she was a little surprised, but she answered it quickly.
"Xiao Rou, do you know about your school?" Qin Guowei asked as tactfully as possible.
"Well, I understand." Qin Xiaorou answered calmly.
"Why...why don't you notify your mother about this, so that she won't worry, what do you think?"
When Qin Xiaorou heard this, she immediately lowered her face: "I understand, Don't bother me again if there is nothing else."
Qin Guowei asked tentatively: "Xiaorou, have you ever thought about transferring to school or returning to China to study?"
"Then you Do you want me to stay here or return to China?” Qin Xiaorou's tone became impatient.
Qin Guowei hesitated and said, "...I can't say it well. Anyway, I won't tell your mother about this, and I don't want you to return to China for the time being." (End of this chapter)
