I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 9 Two zbfs meet

Chapter 9 Two zbfs meet
A true literature lover.

A fake literature lover, not really fake, just not that real.

It takes about six hours to get from Paris to Toulouse.

As TGV speeds up in the future, the travel time will be shortened.

but now……

The six-hour journey was not so boring thanks to Chloe's appearance.

However, others didn't seem so pleased.

Liu Sisi is still carsick!

However, because I had breakfast, I didn't feel particularly uncomfortable and didn't vomit continuously like I did on the train that year.

Having lost his position as a French translator, Yang Dongqi had no choice but to pull Dadong aside to talk about family.

A common topic among older men.

As for Sun Yue, he huddled in the back seat, looking at Chloe with an extremely envious look.

It's young love.

It’s a pity that the British and French were both disabled, so he lost the opportunity to strike up a conversation.

He could only sit there and make up his mind to learn French as quickly as possible.

……

The 9:30 train arrived in Toulouse at 4:00 in the afternoon.

The six-hour journey made Liu Jin feel very tired even with the company of a beautiful woman.

The same thing happened to Chloe.

As for Liu Sisi, her condition was even worse, and her face turned pale.

Seeing this, Qiao An hurried to drive the car.

Liu Jin kissed Chloe on the cheek and said goodbye, then watched her drive away in a Citroën 2CV.

It was a small car that looked like a Beetle.

Released in 1948, the car received a lot of negative reviews when it first hit the market. However, thanks to its distinctively French sleek design, after more than a decade of market experience, its reputation reversed, and it became a national icon in the eyes of the French. (Photo)

"No contact information?"

Yang Dongqi asked with a smile.

Liu Jin stretched out his hand and grabbed the air.

"If we are destined to meet, we will meet. You are mine, don't even think about running away."

"Hahaha, you are so shameless."

Yang Dongqi couldn't help laughing.

The fatigue of the long journey also disappeared in an instant with the laughter.

But Liu Sisi was behind, and her face didn't look very good.

"Sisi, are you okay?"

Sun Yue came over and asked with concern.

But what he was greeted with was Liu Sisi's forced smile, "It's okay!"

The cold tone made Sun Yue not know what to say next.

Dadong stood by, looked at Liu Sisi, then looked at Liu Jin who was talking to Yang Dongqi in front, with a thoughtful expression.

At this time, Qiao An drove a seven-seater Peugeot to the side of the road.

We arrived in Toulouse on Sunday evening.

It's Monday and the sun is shining.

After Liu Jin got in the car, he closed his eyes and didn't say anything.

He was deeply impressed by this railway station.

He often took the train here to go to Paris and Marseille...

It feels the same as before!
Xiao Qiao did not sing "ole, ole" in the car like she did in the past, but remained quiet throughout the journey.

Send Liu Sisi to her residence first.

It is located on the banks of the Garonne River behind the school.

Just like back then, it was on the first floor, and my roommate was from Hubei Province, named Duan Jie.

Well, not very impressed.

The main reason was that Liu Jin didn't have much contact with Duan Jie at that time.

He only knew that Liu Sisi and Duan Jie did not get along particularly harmoniously, and later they even had a fight over a man.

A stick!
Dadong and Sun Yue helped with the luggage.

Xiao Qiao brought Liu Sisi and introduced her roommates.

Liu Jin didn't go in, but stood outside, looking up at a window on the second floor.

"looking at what?"

Yang Dongqi asked.

Liu Jin smiled and replied, "I didn't see anything."

Behind that window used to be his room... Initially, the school arranged him and Sun Yue together.

However, at that time, Liu Jin was infatuated with Liu Sisi. He moved upstairs from Liu Sisi and became her neighbor after living there for less than a month.

But the result...

It wasn't as good as he thought.

My thoughts are a bit confused.

However, Liu Jin quickly adjusted himself, took out a box of Marlboro White from his pocket and lit one.

At this time, Xiao Qiao and the other two came out of the apartment.

Liu Jin took a deep puff of his cigarette and then put it out.

"let's go."

Xiao Qiao got in the car, and Liu Jin and four others followed.

"Sisi, see you tomorrow!"

Dadong waved to Liu Sisi, who stood in front of the apartment building, watching the car slowly pull into the driveway. She suddenly felt a loneliness she had never felt before!
……

Dadong and Yang Dongqi were arranged to live together a little further away from the school.

Liu Jin didn't pay attention to the name of the road.

It's a very quiet path, and the houses on both sides are rose red.

In fact, many houses in Toulouse are this color, which is why Toulouse is also known as the City of Roses.

"Liu, your apartment is a bit far."

"It's ok."

“But the transportation is very convenient, there is a bus that goes directly to the school.”

Xiao Qiao began to introduce herself and Liu Jin listened quietly.

In fact, he knew how to get there without Xiao Qiao's introduction.

The bus is not cheap, only ten francs per trip.

Well, ten francs, it's a coin.

If you walk, you can reach the school in about thirty minutes by crossing the green park and following the main road.

"Mr. Qiao An, I have a request."

"What request?"

"I know the school has reserved a house for one quarter, but I hope it's only for this quarter. At the end of the year, I will move out and live alone. I hope you can understand."

"You're only staying for a quarter?"

Xiao Qiao was a little unhappy.

Because the apartment was arranged by the school, Liu Jin seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the school's arrangement by doing this.

Of course, the main reason is Lydia from the General Affairs Office.

That's a troublesome woman!
"I like living alone. I will find a house and report it to the school in advance."

"OK then!"

Xiao Qiao glanced at the stunned Sun Yue in the rearview mirror.

"Is Sun like this too?"

"I'll help him settle in in advance."

"Okay, then. Just work it out. Rent in Toulouse is not cheap. An apartment like yours costs 2200 francs a month."

"D'accord, then it's settled."

"Brother Jin, what were you talking about just now? I think he mentioned me."

At this time, Sun Yue no longer had the liveliness and curiosity he had earlier.

When there are many people, there is nothing to fear.

But when only he and Liu Jin were left, a sense of fear that he had never experienced since childhood arose spontaneously.

In particular, he couldn't understand what others were saying.

"I'll tell you about this after I meet Dadong and the others tomorrow."

"Ok."

As they were talking, the car came to a narrow one-way street and soon stopped in front of a rose-red apartment building.

The streets are a bit eerie.

There is a fence on one side and a park behind the fence.

"This is it!"

Xiao Qiao parked the car and got out.

Liu Jin and Sun Yue also got out of the car and took out their gifts.

Sun Yue is two big boxes.

And Liu Jin is a person... A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. When he is away from home, his family members want to stuff all their things into his house.

Liu Jin also had to struggle a lot to get this box.

Otherwise, his luggage might not be less than Sun Yue's.

"Liu, gather in the general affairs office on the second floor at 8:30 tomorrow. I'll take you to the classroom then. There are twelve people in your international class. In addition to the five of you, there are six people from Hubei Province, and... but she probably won't be back. There's also another girl coming over."

"So, it's an international class with Chinese characteristics, right?"

Liu Jin would never indulge them.

Xiao Qiao smiled awkwardly and said, "It's mainly because your French isn't very good, so the classes are mainly taught in English. Once your French improves, the school will consider increasing your interactions with other international students and local students."

"Other international classes?"

"OK, OK, the school's consideration is a bit inconsiderate.

This is also our first time recruiting Chinese students, so we have little experience. Please forgive me for any complaints. If you have any questions, please come to me directly. I will do my best to help you coordinate and resolve them.

Back then, he wasn't so easy to talk to.

It seems that the show of authority on Jacques Guerre Street yesterday morning was effective.

"I hope so!" Liu Jin said with a smile.

Xiao Qiao felt how difficult Liu Jin was and smiled bitterly in her heart.

When Lao Pi comes back from Paris, I must tell him: If we recruit Chinese students again next year, we must pay attention to these things.

He took Liu Jin and the other man upstairs and opened the door of an apartment.

This is a loft duplex apartment with two floors.

The first floor includes a kitchen and a dining room, while the second floor is a sloping attic with a skylight and a bathroom.

"If you have any problems, you can report them to the school and they will send someone to solve them."

"no problem."

"Then we'll go first, you guys have a good rest."

Xiao Qiao always felt that there was something malicious in Liu Jin's smile.
