Chapter 224 Embark on a New Journey!
Finally, graduated.
Walking on the way to the administrative building, Lu Zhou looked at the graduation certificate and degree certificate in his hand, feeling a little melancholy for a while.
However, this melancholy did not stay in his heart for too long.
After all, for him, from the moment Academician Xu took over the person of the year and the special scholarship, his graduation ceremony was already over.
The mental preparations that should be done have already been done long ago.
After going to the administrative building to complete the remaining procedures, Lu Zhou did not return to the hotel immediately, but stopped by the Academic Affairs Office and borrowed a master's uniform from there.
The appearance of the master's uniform is actually not much different from the bachelor's uniform, except that under the boxy academic cap, the fringe has changed from black to deep blue.
But even if it is a subtle difference, the meaning it represents is completely different.
After changing into his master's uniform, Lu Zhou went to the photo studio at the gate of the school, and hired a photographer to help him take photos in every corner of the school, which was regarded as the end of this year's master's life.
With these photos as souvenirs, when he goes to study in a foreign country, he will recall the fulfilling three years, and he will not feel lonely.
After finishing the work with a sense of ritual, Lu Zhou picked out three of the photos he thought were the most handsome, accompanied by a photo of a pair of ID cards, posted it on Moments, and passed it on to the scarf.
There is only one line for matching words.
【Happy Graduation! 】
Looking at the text on the screen, Lu Zhou smiled knowingly.
Princeton, here I come!
After clicking the send button, Lu Zhou turned off the screen and stuffed the phone back into his pocket, planning to read it later.
And just as he was walking towards the hotel, the comment section of his scarf was blown up by fans who followed him.
[? ? ? 】
【Didn't you just graduate last year? Why did you graduate again? 】
[Kneel, the speed of the big brother's graduation is faster than the speed of my graduation thesis. 】
[Heartache, I took out my phone to touch fish for a while, but Lu Shen was caught off guard and was forced, and pretended that I was caught off guard... I slipped away and went to do my big homework. 】
[I calculated, this guy has only been in college for three years! 】
【Inaccurate, Lu Shen is level 13, strictly speaking, less than three years, only two and a half years...】
[Study gods are so terrifying! 】
...
Teachers, roommates, classmates, mentors...
For those who are familiar with him, Lu Zhou had already said goodbye to them one by one a few years ago, and it would seem hypocritical to come again after a year.
This time, Lu Zhou walked very quietly. He simply packed his luggage, got on the bullet train to Shanghai, and changed to the subway all the way to the airport.
Sitting in the waiting room, Lu Zhou hung up the VPN, turned on the computer and logged in to the official website of the International Conference on Theoretical Physics in Brussels, and downloaded the abstract of the conference and several 1-hour papers.
Just when he was about to do some research, the penguin hanging on the computer suddenly flickered and received a message from Han Mengqi.
【master! are you leaving (poor) (poor)]
Seeing the message from this little apprentice, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face, and he typed a reply.
【Yes. 】
[The college entrance examination will be in a few months, and you still wear your scarf, so hurry up and review! 】
After a while, there was no reply from the other side.
Just when Lu Zhou was wondering whether the little girl was obedient and doing the test paper, another message came over.
Han Mengqi: [Then are you on the plane now? (doubt)】
Lu Zhou: ...
[How can I reply to your message on the plane? 】
Sitting in the classroom, Han Mengqi seemed to realize that she had asked a stupid question, she smiled embarrassedly, secretly glanced at the teacher on the podium, and quickly replied: [Then master, master, what time are you? Airplane? 】
Lu Zhou: 【An hour later. 】
Han Mengqi: [OK! 】
Then, there was no movement on the other side.
After waiting for a while, Lu Zhou forked out the chat window, but his expression was a little weird.
This little girl, won't come to see you off, will she?
Probably not...
Not to mention that she is probably in class at the moment, and she has to transfer to the subway halfway from Jinling to Shanghai, so it is impossible to make it in time.
In the end, it turned out that Lu Zhou's judgment was correct.
The bloody thing he imagined didn't happen. He got on the plane and embarked on a new journey...
...
After more than ten hours of flying, a plane landed at the airport in Philadelphia.
I remember that it was still rainy before boarding the plane, but it was clear when we got off the plane.
The sun on the east coast was a little harsh on his face. Standing at the exit of the airport, Lu Zhou carried his suitcase, squinted his eyes and adjusted for a while before walking to the side road.
As early as the day before yesterday, he sent the flight information to Senior Brother Luo and agreed on a meeting place.
Next to the coffee shop at the corner of the airport exit, Lu Zhou found the familiar car and Senior Brother Luo standing beside him.
"Haha, Lu Zhou! You're finally here!"
As soon as they met, Senior Brother Luo stepped forward, gave him a warm hug, patted him on the shoulder, and joked with a smile, "Okay, it's been a year, and everyone else has gained weight, so how come?" Are you getting thinner now?"
"Maybe it's because I eat lighter during Chinese New Year?" Lu Zhou smiled, "How long have you been waiting here?"
Senior Brother Luo: "Not much, just an hour."
Lu Zhou: "That's so embarrassing, I'll treat you to dinner later."
Brother Luo waved his hand: "Okay, don't be polite to me, I just came to the United States, I must invite you today. There is a good Sichuan restaurant in Philadelphia, and the boss and I are quite familiar. Get in the car first, we have something to say. Let's talk later when we eat."
Without giving Lu Zhou a chance to refuse, Senior Brother Luo helped him lift the suitcase, put it in the trunk, and then returned to the driver's seat to start the car.
After Lu Zhou got into the car, Senior Brother Luo turned the steering wheel on the road and said casually: "Remember to fasten your seat belt. By the way, do you want to take the driver's license test here too? The car here is very cheap, if you want to buy it , I can introduce you to a place."
Lu Zhou said with a smile: "I have this plan."
At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered something. It seemed that his mobile phone was still charging in the suitcase and had not been taken out.
"By the way, my mobile phone is still in the suitcase and is not turned on..."
Brother Luo: "Is there something urgent?"
Lu Zhou thought for a while, then shook his head: "That's not... Forget it, wait until the place to eat."
Brother Luo said with a smile: "That's what I suggested too, it's not convenient to find a parking place near here."
The two talked and laughed along the way, and at the same time, on the other side of the Philadelphia International Airport exit, about 200 meters away from the coffee shop, a silver-white car was parked.
A slender lady with long hair in a shawl squatted on the side of the road, holding a mobile phone and whispering in Chinese.
"...Why haven't you turned it on yet?"
"Is the plane late?"
Accompanied by a "goo" sound from the stomach.
That voice sounded as much resentment as possible...
