Chapter 1562 The Real World of Colored and Dogs
"Maybe, we protected him too much." Late at night, Li Zitao comforted his restless wife.
"Are you really ready to let him get in touch with this?" Mary looked at him displeased: "Can you guarantee that he is ready?"
"I can't guarantee it." Li Zitao spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Just like I can't guarantee that he will be what you and I imagined."
Li Zitao said seriously: "He is a person, an adult, not a pet!"
Mary finally chose to compromise, not to anyone.
She just chose to compromise with reality, and there is no other way.
In fact, it is not surprising that Aiden will choose Duke.
The Duke University team is one of the strongest teams in the NCAA league, which will make him feel close to him from the bottom of his heart
At the same time, Duke is also the top research comprehensive university in the United States, a top private institution, and has a world-renowned reputation.
Maybe its reputation is not as wide and loud as other prestigious schools, but its influence in education and academia has always been top-notch.
What's more, this science and technology park, which is about to be put into construction, sounds very attractive and novel.
It must be admitted that it is really attractive, especially for young people.
"Maybe we can sponsor Caltech to build a similar technology park?" Mary was still unwilling to compromise, making the last struggle.
What an international joke to build a science and technology park!
For new-type science and technology parks, the most important thing is often not funds, what they need to consider is their own scientific and technological research and development capabilities and talent reserves.
How many R&D-oriented institutions are interested in this, the land, and most importantly the land.
Where was he going to find such a large vacant lot in Los Angeles for a new tech park.
Of course, if you really want to do it, it's not impossible.
But doing this just to prevent his son from going to the south is not a bit too much.
If it is not done well, it may even break Li's balance and shake the foundation.
When she saw her husband's innocent eyes, she drooped her shoulders discouragedly and murmured: "Okay, I get it, I will respect his decision."
"Yes, he is an adult, he can decide to have a relationship by himself" Li Zitao said this to his wife, but no one knows how entangled he is in his heart.
He didn't want Aiden to see this, and he didn't want him to experience or be hurt.
They have always taught him that the world is equal and that human beings should not have racial prejudice and color distinctions.
In the north, discrimination still exists though.
But compared to the conservative and stubborn south, it is simply one up and one down.
At least in New York, Los Angeles or Chicago, they won't see a dedicated entrance for 'people of color'.
Or 'colored people's seat', 'colored people's queuing area', 'colored people's toilet' or other racial prejudices with obvious signs that are included in state and municipal laws.
Of course, they don't need to worry about Aiden. Apart from his thick black hair and his ability to speak Chinese, he doesn't have any features.
It's just that they all know how he will react when injustice and discrimination appear in front of or around him.
Compared with the superficial pain,
What they worry about is the tests and blows that they have to endure in their hearts.
History has proved that countless brave men did not fall in the hands of more powerful enemies in the end, but came from the double suffering of spirit and heart.
Mary handed him the conundrum: "You rejected my offer, so it's up to you to explain it to him."
"At least he should have some understanding of his situation before leaving!" After finishing, Mary came to the dressing table, opened the algae green mask and applied it all over her face.
the next day!
When I saw Aiden in the boxing gym early in the morning, he was venting his excess energy and hormones against the sandbag.
"Good fight." Li Zitao stopped in front of the sandbag next to him, tried to throw a few punches first, and then joined in training Zheng
bang, bang...
After a side kick made the sandbag fly 45 degrees, Aiden let it stabilize and looked at Li Zitao: "If you have anything to say, just be direct, there is no need to do this."
Li Zitao also stopped, looked at him and said with a smile, "I need to tell you something, maybe it's different from what you imagined."
"Durham?" Aiden didn't seem surprised at all: "Or Duke?"
"What do you know?" Now it was Li Zitao's turn to be surprised. It sounded like he knew something about the situation in the south.
It's not the understanding he imagined on paper, but the meaning of the word "South" in a real sense.
"I played against New Orleans in Atlanta, have you forgotten?" Aiden shrugged and looked at him innocently.
Li Zitao really forgot about this, but said: "I thought the school would arrange a hookup"
"Yes." Aiden nodded. "The signs in the hotel have been removed, but they can't remove the shops outside or the entire city."
"Don't worry, Dad!" Aiden said very relaxedly, "I can handle it, and I can guarantee that I understand the meaning and cost of such a choice better than anyone else."
"Wow!" Li Zitao was a little uncomfortable with such a conversation: "It seems that you are more...mature than we thought."
"It's stronger." Aiden raised his arms to reveal his strong biceps, and smiled a little silly.
"If someone left the bottle on the ground in front of you while walking on the road, what would you do?" Li Zitao stared straight at him.
"I'll just laugh it off." Aiden replied firmly and decisively.
In fact, that's what he did, and he despised what those people did from the bottom of his heart.
All slander and hostility are just acts of cowards, comfort and excuses for the losers to find nothing for themselves.
And they only make themselves stronger by doing so.
Because they are so cowardly and weak, complaining about their miserable experiences with self-pity and self-pity, blaming everything on people, things, things and other issues that have nothing to do with them.
"It seems that you are ready." Li Zitao was serious this time.
His and Mary's worries seemed unnecessary. Aiden's heart was much stronger than they imagined, and he had really grown up.
Thinking of this, Li Zitao felt strange inside.
There is a kind of relief, a sense of relief, a little bit of happiness and joy, but mixed with a little bit of sweet and sour, sadness, reluctance and nostalgia.
"Damn it." With a vigorous wave of his hand, Li Zitao turned and left.
He thought he would be a tough guy, but now it seemed that at the wedding of Lilith, Pearl and Ariel, he might be the one who cried the most.
Imagine holding his daughter's hand and walking down the red carpet with tears on his face.
This feels so fucked up, maybe it's time to change the rules and let moms walk their daughters down the aisle.
Just by doing that, there are three different women walking down the aisle at the wedding.
It seems to be no different from a man sending three daughters to the stage!
