If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 934 The Lakeside
Lin Nian and the others ate some buffet in the restaurant of the Hyatt Hotel. The sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows also climbed into the sky, covering the numerous buildings with golden tulle. In the sky between the buildings, the wings of the plane falling towards O'Hare Airport cut through the clouds and released thick blue honey.

Take the elevator from the hotel restaurant down to the ground floor. As soon as the door opened, Su Xiaoqiang pulled Xia Mi to jump outside. It seemed that the friendship between the two was heating up very quickly. Xiawang's logical work would naturally fall to Lin Nian.

The lady at the front desk of the hotel reminded everyone who was about to leave today that the ultraviolet rays are slightly stronger and pay attention to sun protection measures, but after all, it is still a suitable weather for travel. The high temperature and sweltering heat that lingered in Chicago yesterday is probably just a coincidence. Most of the time, summer is just Chicago. the best season.

After all, the impression of the city of Chicago is still the "Beauty of the Iceberg", which is so beautiful that it is often too cold to die, so most of the time the temperature is as pleasant as today, the sun is bright, and the vast Lake Michigan is intoxicatingly blue , the north wind blows across the lake to bring coolness, bikini girls and bodybuilders are everywhere along the beach.

When talking about beauties and handsome men, the front desk lady couldn’t stop looking at this group of young tourists, focusing on the two men, and then politely smiled and suggested that the artificial beach of Lake Michigan is a must-see attraction, please If you have time, you must try it. If it is the nearest one, I recommend the North Avenue Lake Beach, which supports all kinds of beach volleyball, inline skating, cycling or fitness sports.

Lin Nian and Chu Zihang haven't said anything yet, but at least Lu Mingfei's tinnitus was temporary after hearing the beach volleyball, his expression was fascinated, and he seemed to think of some beautiful picture
Out of the hotel, you can find that there are really more urban men and women on the streets of Downtown Chicago today. You can often see refreshing fashionistas on the streets, wearing the most fashionable outfits of the season on "VOGUE" and adding a pair of sunglasses to shade. Occasionally appear on the street, and suddenly disappear in the crowd.

The overall style and rhythm of the city depends on the people living in the city. At least Chicago, which is leaning on Lake Michigan, retains the feeling of a typical American metropolis in terms of living conditions and culture.

Finely grind pizza, skyscrapers, Lake Michigan and academic universities into colorful pieces, and sprinkle the sunny sunshine into the blue Lake Michigan as seasoning to make a pot of art and leisurely soup. That's Chicago.

Although generally not as prosperous and passionate as New York next door, people in this city will eventually tend to have fun and leisure in front of the bowl of blue soup called Lake Michigan (but this is only limited to the North Side of Chicago, South area is another world).

"It's a pity to go to the beach by car in such a fine weather. Let's go by bicycle!" As the person in the team who always has the courage to come up with ideas, Su Xiaoqiang immediately decided to take a "self-driving tour" .

Chu Zihang took the time to plan the route on Google Maps, and then gave Lin Nian a nod, because he found that the plan that Su Xiaoqiang casually mentioned was indeed feasible.

After going out of the Hyatt Hotel, ride along the Chicago River towards Lake Michigan, and cross the bridge northwards to a straight cycling road, which is specially prepared for walking and cycling citizens, close to the lake of Michigan By the lake, if you are tired, you can sit by the lake and play in the water.

7$ The 24-hour bicycle rental price is very cheap, but when renting bicycles at the nearest rental point, it is not too unexpected to encounter a helpless thing, Xiawang does not know how to ride a bicycle.

Seeing Xiawang sitting on the bicycle, stepping on the pedals with both legs and falling to the ground neatly at 90 degrees with the bicycle, Lin Nian always had an inexplicable sense of sight, looking at the bicycle parallel to the ground and looking at himself. With those blue eyes, he knew that the rear seat of his bicycle would probably be lost.

I heard that there are a thousand species of birds on Lake Michigan, and I don’t know if this number is true. Riding a bicycle on the long walking path by the lake, Lin Nian looked sideways at the white shadows flying in the blue ocean in the distance. Some disillusioned beauty.

Carrying Xia Wang hugging his waist, Lin Nian rode a bicycle and hung far from the back of the line, with Xia Mi and Su Xiaoqiang leading, followed by Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei.

It seems that the two young girls who are about the same age seem to be really chatting, chatting while riding a bike, and the fight is very hot.Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei also followed side by side, chatting while riding. Most of the time, Lu Mingfei asked casually, and Chu Zihang answered casually. The topic was not deep, and probably not nutritious.

Even with Lin Nian's hearing ability, he could hear what everyone was talking about in the mighty lake wind.

For example, the topics between Su Xiaoqiang and Xia Mi are close and erratic. In the first sentence, I mentioned that I saw a girl in the lobby of the hotel just now. She has a really good temperament and knows how to dress. The reviews seem to be pretty good, do you want to play together tomorrow?

Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei rode for a long time. Lu Mingfei, who was staring at Lake Michigan in a daze, suddenly asked, brother, why is Lake Michigan so green near it and so blue far away?
It's a very unnutritious topic, and I feel like I'm looking for something to say, but it's better than asking senior brother why your shadow's head is rounder than mine, at least the former Chu Zihang can still get on with the conversation.

Chu Zihang thought carefully for dozens of seconds, and then replied to Lu Mingfei that it might be a water quality problem, and the microorganisms in the water will determine the color of the water.It may also be due to the scattering of light. The seven colors of sunlight have different absorption rates by sea water. Therefore, the shallow scattering effect of the water layer is not obvious, and the water is transparent, and the deep water of the water layer appears light blue-green.

Lu Mingfei sighed and said, brother, you are so knowledgeable, then he stopped talking, and continued to look at Lake Michigan in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xia Mi in front slowed down a little and stood side by side with Chu Zihang: "Senior brother, do you have more mineral water? My senior sister and I have finished drinking."

"There is no unboiled water, we can ride on it to find the convenience store." Chu Zihang suggested.

"That's too slow." Xia Mi, who was riding the bike, seemed completely tireless. The more he rode, the more excited he was, and he even shook his fist with one free hand, "I want to challenge my senior sister to ride to the beach in one breath! Complete the conquest Mission Lake Michigan!"

Chu Zihang silently thought that the total distance from the Hyatt Hotel to the artificial beach is estimated to be less than one-tenth of the lake's circumference. To conquer Lake Michigan, you have to go around or sail across it, right?

His eyes fell on the basket of his bicycle, which contained the mineral water he had only taken two sips of, and a suggestion was almost on his lips, but stopped because it was not appropriate.

But at this moment, a shadow flew over his and Xia Mi's heads, and landed precisely in Su Xiaoqiang's bicycle basket in front, without even thinking about what was thrown there and who was thrown.

"Well, senior brother, do you mind if I drink your water?" Xia Mi said with a sigh.

Chu Zihang didn't know why Xia Mi sighed, but now that the other party proposed first, he had no reason to refuse.

"Then. Thank you very much!" Xia Mi said, reached out and fished out the bottle of mineral water from the side-by-side bicycle basket. .

"Come back to life." Xia Mi let out a sigh of relief on his slender neck, wiped the water from the corners of his mouth and neck, and returned the mineral water to Chu Zihang. Half of the water in it was shaking and reflecting in the basket Dazzling shimmer.

However, it is worth mentioning that after drinking the water, she did not speed up to ride to the front, but leisurely maintained a slow speed, turning her head to look at the view of Lake Michigan on Chu Zihang's side.

Chu Zihang stared straight ahead, staring at the bicycle, while Xia Mi was looking at the lake Chidori crossed through him, the shadows on both sides were cast on the ground and kept moving forward, occasionally overlapping and occasionally separating.

"Brother, why do you think the lake is so blue?" Suddenly, Xia Mi asked casually.

Chu Zihang paused for a few seconds, probably because he didn't expect Xia Mi to ask the same question as Lu Mingfei, but after thinking about it, it seems reasonable for them to ask the same question
He repeated his previous answer to Lu Mingfei.

"Water quality and light problems? Is there a third possibility?" Xia Mi asked after listening carefully.

"I don't have a deep understanding of water quality. You can ask Norma to look up relevant academic materials in the library when you go back to the academy," Chu Zihang said.

Xia Mi stared at the blue lake in front of Chu Zihang in a daze for a while, then suddenly laughed as if thinking of something, Chu Zihang who was beside him heard the girl's laughter, and for some reason rang out. I saw the silver wind chimes hanging under the eaves and windows, and the lake wind blew here from a distance, and the crisp bells kept ringing.

"Brother, I suddenly thought of an explanation, do you want to listen to it?" Xia Mi tilted his head and looked at Chu Zihang and said.

"Tell me." Chu Zihang listened to the instruction.

"But before that, I have to ask you a question, brother, do you think fish can talk?"

"Should. Yes?" Chu Zihang paused for a moment, his tone was not smooth, mainly because the girl's topic was too esoteric, making it impossible to understand what she was thinking.

"That fish can talk, what language do they speak?" Xia Mi asked again.

Chu Zihang was stunned.

Because this touched his blind spot of knowledge.In the past, there might be junior or senior sisters who would ask him some professional questions about magic mechanics with their notebooks after class, and some mavericks would ask the executive department about life-saving skills in field missions, but now this He had never encountered such a situation.

Therefore, Chu Zihang replied honestly, "I don't know."

"I guess it's English," Xia Mi said. "The fish in Lake Michigan can speak English because they are American fish."

"English?" Chu Zihang recalled old brain teasers, such as whether a dog in New York can understand a dog barking in Tokyo. There is a similarity between Xia Mi's question and answer.

"How is it different from the water in Lake Michigan?" Chu Zihang didn't understand the key point.

"No, brother, think about it. The fish in Lake Michigan can communicate with each other. They are American fish, so they speak English, and they always say "blue blue" when they spit bubbles. Blue, blue every day. Sea water Is it going to be blue?"

Xia Mi excitedly looked at the azure sky above Chu Zihang's head, his black hair fluttered by the wind, and his eyes were fascinated.

Chu Zihang was stunned for a while looking at her gleaming side face in the sun, then turned his head silently, looking at the backs of Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei who were competing with each other on their bicycles in the distance ahead.

The wind came from around him, and Lin Nian, who was carrying Xiawang behind him, passed by Chu Zihang's right.

Chu Zihang saw Xiawang who looked like a koala holding Lin Nian on the bicycle. The boy seemed to be enjoying the scenery in the back seat, basking in the sun with half his face on Lin Nian's back and looking sideways at the blue lake for a nap .

"They are riding too fast, I will go to the front to let them slow down first. There is still a distance to the beach, you may be able to give her some entrance training or something." Lin Qingnian's fluttering words were left in the wind, The figure riding the bicycle quickly moved away, leaving behind Chu Zihang and Xia Mi.
