1353. Chapter 1353 Lan Xier Extra (9)
Lan Xier had a good first impression of him, so she smiled and said, "My name is Nancy, and I'm an international student who just moved here."
She found that he was really tall, and she had to raise her neck to look up at him when she spoke to him.
Alex was like the enthusiastic foreigners she saw in TV dramas, constantly saying welcome words like NICETOMEETYOU, and then helped her bring the suitcase in with grace.
In fact, Lan Xier wanted to say "thank you, no thanks", because she only brought the simplest luggage, which was not heavy at all. But Alex insisted, and he half-jokingly said that he was a real gentleman, and it was impossible for him to stand by and watch a girl carrying heavy things in front of him.
Hearing him say this, Lan Xier liked him a little more. He was the first friend she met in a foreign country. Although there were still some obstacles in language communication, she still felt a warm current slowly flowing in her heart.
Lan Xier's room was on the second floor. The two walked through a long and narrow corridor and climbed the long spiral staircase. Along the way, Alex kept chatting with her. When he knew that Lan Xier was from China, he showed a surprised and happy expression on his face.
"Hello! Thank you! Goodbye!" He smiled and said several Chinese sentences in succession.
This time it was Lan Xier's turn to be surprised: "You... you can speak Chinese?"
Moreover, you speak so fluently! There is no accent at all.
Alex still smiled and puffed up his chest with some pride: "I can only speak the most commonly used sentences, because... my sister married a Chinese man, so our family often gathered around my brother-in-law to learn a few Chinese sentences, just for fun."
"Really? Our Chinese men are considerate and family-oriented. Your sister must be very happy." Lan Xier was infected by his smile, and her mood became brighter and brighter. She did not forget to advertise for the vast number of Chinese male compatriots.
"Yes, they are very loving and have a mixed-race baby. I really like her! I will show you her photos another day!" When talking about his niece, Alex's mood was obviously much higher.
Lan Xier looked at his bright smile with some envy. For a moment, she felt as if she saw a ray of sunshine, shining into her gloomy world.
If one day she could smile so brightly, it would be great.
Alex is a very enthusiastic person, and he takes better care of her than the other roommates who live with her. When she first arrived, he drove around the surrounding areas for several rounds and pointed out the locations of supermarkets and stations that he often goes to.
Lan Xier's English is not very good, but fortunately, Alex, the god translator, accompanies her at critical moments. Sometimes Lan Xier feels that Alex is not like a foreigner at all.
Because many foreigners are more self-centered, more pursuing individualism and personal enjoyment, and will not spend so much time and experience on a friend they just met. What's more, she is still a foreigner to him. The locals shout the slogan of non-exclusion on the surface, but in fact, they are still xenophobic in their hearts, especially people of color.
After getting acquainted, Lan Xier once asked Alex why he took such good care of her. Alex's answer made her laugh and cry.
"First of all, of course, it's because you're beautiful! Of course, the most important reason is that I feel like I have a connection with you."
"Connect? How do you mean?" Lan Xier asked curiously.
