Chapter 457 Extra 1 Maple Leaf and Chicken Birds
In 1988, Customs at Ottawa Airport, Canada.
A dispute is happening in the entry and exit inspection passage, and a young Asian girl is anxiously explaining something, while the staff opposite are constantly shaking their heads.
The girl's luggage was completely opened, and books were roughly spread out on the table, some of which were printed in Chinese characters, and daily necessities were dumped. It was obvious that there was nothing in the girl's luggage. Value stuff. "Hey, the country bumpkin from China." Someone whispered behind him.
"Sir, you have been checking for 15 minutes. I don't know what I have violated the rules." The girl protested loudly in English with local accent, because she was excited and jumped. "Quiet, ma'am, all you need is waiting." The staff member continued to search inside with white gloves, and finally he found what he wanted.
A small piece of something similar to an animal's bones was lifted up.
"Ms., do you need to explain what these things are?"
"These are just small toys, souvenirs."
"Use bones toys? It sounds incredible, and your explanation is hard to convince people." "But they are really toys." The girl with a ponytail wanted to argue. "Sorry, I have the right to refuse you to pass until you prove the reasonable use of these things in your backpack." The customs officer in uniform was unmoved.
The girl suddenly became anxious. If the opportunity they had won overseas study abroad through hardships was returned without even the customs, the consequences would be unimaginable...
" Snymace~ Can you look here first? I have been waiting here for a long time." A Japanese girl behind her seemed to urge her politely, with a faint look of impatientness on her face.
The staff immediately changed into a completely different side face when they heard the Japanese accent.
In recent years, the Cold War has continued to cool down, and the Japanese economy has been booming in this atmosphere, and even the voices of Japanese citizens have begun to amplify when they are outside. "Of course." The staff passed the Chinese girl who was still waiting to take the passport of the Japanese girl.
"Reiko Matsumoto?"
"Hai~"
"Are you studying here?"
"Hayi~ Please hurry up."
"Okay, welcome to Canada." The staff neatly stamped a seal on their passport. . "Wait, why do you just flip my luggage!" The Chinese girl began to protest loudly, and at this time someone stood beside him from behind.
Asian, male, very young.
The staff raised their eyelids and glanced at him. "Japanese? Korean?" "Chinese." The young man handed over the passport in his hand. "Oh?" The staff took the passport unexpectedly. Most of the Chinese people he had met were too cautious, fearing that they would be prohibited from entering the country if they did something wrong.
But although the man in front of him should be less than 20 years old, he has a sense of confidence from the inside out, and seems to not care about the eyes of others at all.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable. "He Ran?" The inspector raised his eyebrows and found that the other party was holding a South African passport.
South Africa has developed very rapidly in recent years and is already in the leading position of Africa. Its economic level is even comparable to that of old Western countries like Spain, which has also made the muscles on the corners of the staff's mouth slightly rise. a little. "There is also a letter of introduction to the school here, please take a look." The young man handed over a piece of paper with carved paper.
The inspector just glanced at him and his facial expression changed, and his smile almost instantly hung on his face.
The person above is Margaret Ross, a woman who was once called "the princess of the people". She is also called the Second Queen of Britain and has great influence in any country in the Commonwealth.
The young man opposite is very big, too big to be beyond his own class. "Queen's freshman? Welcome to Canada!" The smile on the inspector's face was almost overflowing.
Click!
The seal was stamped on the passport without any sluggishness.
"Please wait a moment. This is my classmate just now. Can you pass the test for her?" The man named He Ran signaled to the Chinese girl beside him. The girl understood and handed her passport on. "Oh? Your classmate?" The customs staff looked through the girl's materials and indeed pulled out an ordinary Queen's University invitation letter from the bottom. "OK! Since that's the case, there is no problem at all. Welcome to Canada." The staff made a big turn of 180 degrees and let it go smoothly.
Several people walked towards the passage one by one, but He Ran turned his head as if he suddenly remembered something and said mysteriously
"Sir, as far as I know, China does use bones as toys. but sometimes they have another function - religious magic tools."
"If you feel uncomfortable lately, remember to go to church." The man waved his hand and turned around and walked away.
A gust of wind blew by, and the inspector subconsciously shrank his neck.
——
When I arrived at the airport parking lot, there were sounds of footsteps behind He Ran.
The Chinese girl was wearing her own used leather shoes and dragged a heavy box to chase after her.
"Wait, please wait a moment." The girl shouted panting, subconsciously using her native language.
I'm very lucky that the other party can understand.
"What's the matter?" The young boy turned around and spoke very fluent in Chinese.
"Thank you! You helped me a lot, I want to know your name." The girl generously stretched out her hand to the other party. "Tang Qiu, a year-old economics at Queen's University."
"He Ran, I am a major in world history."
"How did you do it? That foreigner was causing trouble for me just now." The cheerful girl spoke a lot more when facing her compatriots. "You have no experience. If you are studying abroad, putting the invitation letter from the university at the top will be much less trouble." He Ran Yangyang did not explain his documents. Some differences from the other party’s content.
The hands of the two people are held together.
"Hmph!" A hum with arrogance rang out. The girl named Reiko Matsumoto left the two of them, raised her head in disgust, muttered and walked towards the duke's car parked aside. There was a car door that had been waiting for the followers to respectfully help her open.
The Duke's car left a piece of exhaust gas and disappeared.
"What did she say?" Tang Qiu frowned his beautiful eyebrows.
"Two Chinese countrysiders." He Ran shrugged and told the truth. "This guy!" Tang Qiu felt a little angry, and finally shook his head. "I'm going to take the bus, are you going to be together?" The girl asked her fellow countrymen. "I'll help you get the box." The big boy took the other person's luggage with a smile.
——
Queen's University is in Kingston City, 150 kilometers from Toronto. This time the school sends a separate bus to pick up these international students.
Tang Qiu thought it would be as crowded as domestic buses, and he had already rolled up his sleeves to prepare for the charge.
As a result, the bus was unexpectedly empty, except for a few young people of South American and African descent sitting at the back, more than half of the seats on the bus were empty.
"Queen's University is a donation school. Many students have wealthy families and basically take private cars." He Ran explained on the side, helping Tang Qiu put his luggage away, but by the way, he even gave it to him. Several students at the back greeted in Portuguese.
"How many foreign languages do you know?" Tang Qiu looked at the big boy opposite in surprise. Since just now, he had already communicated in four different languages.
The boy opposite tilted his head and thought, "I know how to speak the most mainstream words, it seems that my father said that I had a very talented language when I was a child."
"How to do it?" Tang Qiu was stunned for a moment. She knew two foreign languages and was often admired by her classmates in China, but she was not enough to see her in front of a real master.
As a matter of fact, I am too immersed in the country. When I was in high school, I might be able to beat others, but after I came out, I always meet even better people. "Which university was you recommended by Yanda? Shuimu? Or Zhongtech?" the girl asked carefully.
"Me?" He Ran pointed to himself and said a little embarrassedly, "Johannesburg, Pretoria Male High School..."

Alas? !
Something seems wrong. "Don't you come from China?!" Tang Qiu turned his head suddenly, and the tip of the ponytail swept to He Ran's nose.
"Uh, I grew up in South Africa. My father is Chinese and my mother is French."
"Then you said you were Chinese before." Tang Qiu then realized that although the other party had black hair, he had black hair. , but the pupils have a faint blue color. "I am Chinese, and my father has always told me this, although I have never been to the country." He Ran said so.
Tang Qiu was very embarrassed. Before, she treated He Ran around her as if she was from China. She kept calling out "grenad" and "grenad" in her mouth. Now it seems that the other party is a kind of In fact, he is actually half a foreigner.
Then the two were much silent, and only the sound of the engine that sounded from time to time could be heard in the car.
The wind blew, and the bus drove through the road full of ginkgo trees next to Lake Ontario. The golden leaves were crushed by the wheels and flew in the air like pieces of gold.
The warm autumn sun shone in from the car window, and Tang Qiu felt a sleepy feeling slowly coming.
Flying here from China and experiencing the scene at the airport, she was actually very tired too.
When she woke up, she found that she was half leaning against He Ran, and half of the ponytail behind her covered the other person's face. "I'm sorry, I..." Tang Qiu wiped the corners of his mouth in panic and looked around. A magnificent view appeared in front of her - it was the ceiling of the Gothic complex of Queen's University.
The Queen's University, founded in 1841, was the founder of Queen Victoria (or the Queen's decree was established), and has been closely linked to the British royal family for hundreds of years.
The school is known as the "Princeton" in Canada. Its architecture is mainly based on the Gothic castle style. Part of the inspiration for the Hogwarts landscape of the later "Harry Potter" series is based on this.
The campus is adjacent to Lake Ontario. When autumn approaches, ancient ginkgo leaves will float all over the tree-lined path next to the lake.
In front of the corridor of the College of Arts and Sciences, under the medieval relief surrounding the curved top of the library, the bus stopped.
At this time, all kinds of luxury cars around the surrounding area were also filled with parking lots.
Jaguar XJSC, Extended Lincoln, Cadillac... Of course, it also includes the Duke King who left before.
Successful people in good-looking clothes, accompanied by their children and entourage, stepped onto the stone floor of Queen's University. Those students who took the bus to the school gate became alternatives in the crowd.
The other students in the bus were at a loss for a moment.
Most of them come from underdeveloped areas, even if they have the status of elites in their own country, they subconsciously become shorter in the face of this situation.
"Hey, what are you doing?! We obviously did nothing wrong!" Tang Qiu stood up in the crowd, lifted his big suitcase, straightened his chest and walked towards the registration point. The whole process was not at all. Care about other people's eyes.
Even He Ran was a little surprised.
He was also excluded at school because of his skin color when he was a child. He knew that feeling, but the behavior of the girl in front of him made him sincerely appreciate it.
After thinking for a while, He Ran picked up his luggage and followed.
Of course, this kind of courage comes at a price. The special eyes around him were focused on the two people, especially Tang Qiu, who took the lead, endured more "firepower".
"Is she really a Chinese? Why didn't she see the small feet behind her?"
"The man doesn't have braids either. Did he cut it off when he came?"
"So rude, look at how she was carrying that box..."
Wrinkled from the whispering of the whisper From all directions, Tang Qiu gritted his teeth and ignored the sounds around him. "Hello, we hope to go through the procedures." The two of them handed the form to a senior student wearing the school badge at a long table.
"Okay, well~, the two are Tang Hehe. Welcome to Queen's College. The relevant procedures will be completed soon. However, please wait for the check-in."
"Wait a little, what does it mean?" He Ran frowned. "Literally, this campus implements a two-person accommodation system. The premise for two people to live together is that one party does not reject the other party. Once someone clearly states that he does not want to sleep together, the school will not force it."
The senior student is a Mexican. He lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, I hate those guys, but you have seen the situation just now. In order to avoid being the target of public criticism, there will be almost no one. Sleep with you."
"Please bear it a little, we will arrange it later." The other party comforted.
The situation seems to be deadlocked. If you take such a warning when you enter school, you can imagine that two people will be 100% isolated after entering school.
Variables come quickly.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom VI suddenly erected in front of everyone. The butler in a formal dress walked out of the car and opened the car respectfully and elegantly.
Riche sandals fell to the ground, and a girl with blond hair stepped onto the lawn. Her slender arms, straight legs like pencils and snow-white skin made people shine, and the dark pair of The eyes are like stars in the night.
So beautiful!
This is what everyone present says.
The girl walked quietly across the path without even looking at the rich people around her, as if there was no difference between them and the trees and sculptures beside her.
She came to the registration office, bent down at the senior staff, pointed at He Ran and said softly, "Can I be in the same dormitory as him?"
After The girl bent down, and a silver bullet as a necklace shook out in her pink neck, shining in a charming light in the sun.
