Li Zetian’s passport for studying abroad had already been processed.
On August 29th, he boarded the plane bound for Harvard University in the United States.
On this trip, besides Li Zetian’s parents seeing him off at the airport, there was no one else.
Although ordinary, this was destined to be an extraordinary journey!
To borrow Julius Caesar’s words: “I came, I saw, I conquered!!!”
The hidden dragon entering the sea is bound to stir up the winds and clouds of America!
“Dad, Mom, you can go back.
I’m getting on the plane!”
“Son, once you arrive abroad all alone, you must learn to take care of yourself.
Also, if you don’t have enough money, you must contact us!” Xiao Zhixuan exhorted.
Li Zetian nodded, “Mhm, I will take good care of myself!”
“By the way, did you hide granduncle’s address and phone number well?” Xiao Zhixuan asked.
“They’re in my suitcase.
Besides, I memorized them all and won’t forget.
Don’t worry!”
“Mhm, then you must study hard when you get to Harvard University.”
“Mhm!” Li Zetian nodded and agreed, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, because he had already planned to drop out at an appropriate time.
I’m afraid this would disappoint Xiao Zhixuan.
Seeing her son going to live and study overseas all alone, Xiao Zhixuan couldn’t bear to part, as if she had endless things to say.
But the plane was about to take off, and Li Zetian had to board.
They say a father’s love is like a mountain, and Li Chengzhi was exactly like this.
Although he was taciturn, Li Zetian could still feel the reluctance and concern revealed in his eyes.
…
Harvard University is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
However, Cambridge does not have an airport.
Li Zetian needed to take a plane to a nearby airport and then transfer by car to Harvard University.
As soon as Li Zetian got on the plane, he prepared to sleep.
The journey was long, over ten hours.
Sitting on his right was an ostentatiously dressed middle-aged woman.
As soon as she sat down, her face was full of disgust, and she kept chattering endlessly, complaining constantly.
“Economy class is economy class.
The conditions are so bad.
Not only are the seats so small, but even the air smells awful!”
“Little Wang is really something.
Doesn’t he know I usually fly business class?
He actually booked me an economy class ticket!
Flight attendant, I want an upgrade!!!”
A flight attendant not far away walked over, “Hello, ma’am, our flight no longer has any available business class seats, therefore we cannot provide you with an upgrade service.
We express our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused to you on this trip, and hope for your understanding!”
The middle-aged woman waved her hand and shouted loudly: “Alright, alright, what a broken plane, to not even have an extra seat available!”
Li Zetian shook his head.
Most of the people on the plane were foreigners. Get faster updates on g.com.
This middle-aged woman’s manners were too low, simply disgracing Chinese people.
What’s wrong with economy class?
Am I not sitting in economy class too?!
…
Massachusetts, also known as “Masheng” or “Mazhou” in Chinese, has numerous institutions of higher learning, such as Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Clark University, and so on.
16 hours later, the plane arrived in Boston, the capital of Massachusetts.
Cambridge is right next to Boston, just across the Charles River.
Before coming to the United States, Li Zetian had already investigated the route clearly.
He first took the Orange Line subway to the downtown intersection, and from there, he took the Red Line subway.
It took 5 minutes to get to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and 10 minutes to get to Harvard University.
The first impression Harvard University leaves on people is its openness; the degree of which can be said to be shocking.
First of all, there is no decent main gate to be seen.
Many entrances and exits don’t even have gates and can be accessed freely.
This is completely unlike domestic universities, where regardless of academic level, they will build an extremely particular and high-class main gate, and outsiders are restricted from entering.
When Li Zetian arrived here, it happened to be the time for the beginning of the school year registration, and there were very many people.
Because it was his first time here, Li Zetian was very unfamiliar with the school.
But fortunately, a kind-hearted senior came to help.
“Hello, my name is Smith, a sophomore in the math department at Harvard University!
You must be a new freshman reporting for duty!”
Of course, this was very obvious, because Li Zetian was dragging a large suitcase.
“Yes, that’s right!” Li Zetian nodded in response.
“Are you Japanese?”
“I am not Japanese…” Li Zetian shook his head.
“Then are you Korean?”
“No!”
“Singaporean?”
“Not either!”
“Oh, then you must be Taiwanese!”
Li Zetian shook his head, a trace of displeasure flashing across his face, and said resoundingly: “I am Chinese!!!!”
“Chinese?
Oh, I am extremely sorry.
I know relatively few Chinese people, so…”
The man named Smith immediately looked embarrassed.
Li Zetian waved his hand and said indifferently yet confidently: “It’s okay, you will definitely know many Chinese people in the future!
The next time you see an Asian face like mine, you will definitely first ask him if he is Chinese!!!”
Hearing this, Smith couldn’t help but be stunned, thinking to himself, “What a confident guy!”
“Hehe, I hope so!
Oh, by the way, what’s your name, and which department are you in?
I’ll take you to register now!”
“My name is Li Zetian, you can also call me ‘Zetian’ or Mr.
Li.
I’m in the music department!”
“Zetian?
“Zetian is a Chinese name!”
“Oh, no wonder it’s awkward to pronounce!
Please follow me, I’ll take you to the music department to register for admission!”
…
Who said female straight-A students must be dinosaurs (ugly)?
This is completely a fallacy!!!
Among the girls Li Zetian saw at Harvard University, there was no shortage of very beautiful ones, especially when he arrived at the Conservatory of Music, there were even more beauties.
With Smith’s help, Li Zetian quickly completed the registration procedures.
Afterwards, the two separated.
Smith was warm-hearted and continued to help the freshmen, while Li Zetian went to his own dorm room.
This dorm room was a suite, including a study room, four bedrooms, and a washroom.
The living and studying conditions could be described as extremely superior.
Li Zetian’s three roommates arrived one step earlier than him.
The three of them were packing their things while chatting.
“Haha, everyone in our dorm is here!
Hi, buddy, I’m Charles, Charles Elinor, from California, USA!” A tall, sunny, and handsome Caucasian boy waved and greeted Li Zetian.
“I’m Carl Jerome, from New York.” The speaker was a black man of medium build with a shaved head.
“My name is Willie Thackeray, from Ottawa, the capital of Canada.” This person was also Caucasian, wearing glasses, tall and thin.
“Hello everyone, my name is Li Zetian, from China!
You can call me Zetian or Li.” Li Zetian introduced himself.
“Oh, God, you are from China?
Then do you know Chinese kung fu?!
Like Bruce Lee?
Hwa-yah, wa-tah~ wa-tah~ wa-tah!!!” Charles Elinor asked with a face full of excitement, and at the same time, he imitated Bruce Lee’s movements and shouted.
Obviously, he was very interested in Chinese kung fu.
Recently, an action movie “Enter the Dragon” co-produced by Golden Harvest and Warner Bros.
was hitting theaters across the United States, causing a huge sensation.
Movie protagonist Bruce Lee became the idol of many young Americans for a time.
Li Zetian shook his head to answer his question while sorting out his luggage: “Sorry, I don’t know how!”
“Oh, that’s really a pity…” Charles Elinor said in disappointment.
The Canadian Willie Thackeray spoke up: “There’s a college freshman welcome party tonight.
I heard there will be beauties like clouds.
Are you guys going?”
“Of course we’re going!” Charles Elinor and Carl Jerome both nodded in response with excitement.
Obviously, hormones and dopamine were starting to secrete…
“Li, aren’t you going?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pick up girls!!!” Willie Thackeray gave Li Zetian a smile that all men understood.
Li Zetian had never touched a woman in his past or present life, nor had he ever been in a relationship.
As a physiologically normal male, he naturally was full of curiosity and longing for women.
He thought about it.
If he could meet a girl he liked, it wouldn’t hurt to fall in love…
