Chapter 13 Someone Takes Your Parking Space
"Yi! You are here too, good afternoon!"

"Good afternoon, Jason." Xu Yiru looked up at the Asian boy in front of him, the same smile he showed to Han Yi just now, but the corners of his eyes couldn't see the slightest curvature.

"Morning!" As long as there is an opportunity, Han Yi will show off his Sichuan-flavored salt-and-pepper Cantonese anytime and anywhere.

Jason Zhong, whose Chinese name is Zhong Limin, is said to be the second son of a dim sum family in Hong Kong.Among Xu Yiru's suitors, he was not the most handsome, nor the richest, nor even the most patient.But in comparison, Zhong Limin can indeed be regarded as a comprehensive upgrade of Han Yi.

He was half a head taller, and his family was much wealthier than Han Yi's.As for appearance, if it wasn't for the deity also coming from Hong Kong, it would be appropriate for Zhong Limin to call himself Banshan Wu Yanzu.

"Just after class, I just saw you coming in, so I came to say hello." Zhong Limin waved to Han Yi enthusiastically, and then said to Xu Yiru with a smile, "By the way, Grace, do you have time today? My friend is in Albany. Hambra has opened a new tea restaurant, and I would like to invite people to review it. Yi, if you like dim sum, you can also come together!"

"I won't come." Han Yi didn't want to take this muddy water, he pointed to his mouth, "The mouth is heavy, and I can't eat it without chili."

"Okay, okay, the taste must be great." Xu Yiru nodded in agreement with a smile.After a few seconds, she looked at Han Yi as if she remembered something, and said with deep regret in her voice, "Hey, is it just today? Today I made an appointment with Yi in advance to go to a show, which is a bit of a coincidence Woolen cloth."

Arranged for me again, right?
Han Yi rolled his eyes in his heart.

The acquaintance of Han Yi and Xu Yiru began in a professional course COMM 206 two years ago.At that time, Han Yi was a sophomore, and Xu Yiru had just been admitted to USC. The two of the same majors happened to choose the same core course, and they happened to be in the same thesis group.

It is not always true that they are assigned together. Huaguo students, no matter which city they come from, always like to hold together in a class. They believe in the converging thinking and hardworking nature of Huaguo people. After all, no one wants to choose A group discussion that disappears forever on the party brain.Grouping with compatriots can minimize the probability of being framed.

This is how Han Yi and Xu Yiru were grouped together with another freshman boy from Mainland China and a Hong Kong girl who was also a sophomore with Han Yi.There is nothing wrong with the coursework itself, Han Yi, the elementary school bully, and Xu Yiru, the college bully, the other two have to be extremely stupid to pull their grades from A to B.

The key point is that the freshman boy fell in love with Xu Yiru at a glance, if she didn't want to marry, he started a pursuit that he thought was subtle, but was actually so explicit that Han Yi and the Hong Kong girl looked at each other in dismay.

Boys often invite everyone out for dinner in the name of group activities, and even privately beg Han Yi to call him for cooperation.Because Xu Yiru, who considered the results of the group, could refuse his individual invitation, but it was hard to say no to the collective activities of the group.

Of course, it is impossible for Han Yi to be a wingman. If Lang has a lover and concubine, he needs a warming environment. It is obvious that he is a twisted melon, and he must let himself watch the wind in the melon field, that is absolutely impossible. .Every time the group had a dinner, what Han Yi did the most was to use his best cold jokes to relieve the awkward courtship scenes carefully created by the boys.

The amazing thing is that both Xu Yiru and another girl are very fond of the sneering craftsman. In this way, the impromptu pairings gradually became fixed.

Halfway through the new semester, the boys who saw no hope of pursuit voluntarily quit.A few months later, after Han Yi declined the Hong Kong girl's confession, the latter also quietly disappeared from everyone's sight.

In the end, the rice pair turned into a rice pair.

It is true that Han Yi cannot be blamed, she is standing beside Xu Yiru, the gap is really too big.

However, this does not mean that Han Yi has any thoughts about Xu Yiru.Han Yi thinks that his biggest advantage is that he is very clear-headed, has a very correct self-cognition, and is quite clear.

From the first moment he saw Xu Yiru, Han Yi was extremely certain that it was impossible for him to have any charming stories with her.Not to mention that she will return to the mainland to develop after graduation, and Xu Yiru's chosen career path leaves her with nowhere to go except Treasure Island.Just from Xu Yiru's comprehensive way of dealing with people, her deliberately cultivated social skills, and other noble qualities that are hidden in the dark and difficult to be discovered, it can be inferred that the life she set, or that her family set for her In the set life, there will never be a No. [-] person like myself.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Han Yi put the label of ordinary friend on his face and never took it off again.

It's ordinary friends!
Not a boyfriend!
Han Yi defined the interaction and dialogue between the two of them within a clever range, and he never refused to make a meal appointment, and the conversation was targeted.To talk about academic pressure and gossip after school, Han Yi can stay with him all night without stopping.Once the topic has something to do with the boy who is pursuing her, or the concept of feelings and the criteria for choosing a mate, throw away the phone, open Steam, and just pretend to be dead.

Between men and women, if you want to maintain a pure friendship, you must have a sense of boundaries about each other's lives.

It is precisely because of Han Yi's intentional maintenance that his relationship with Xu Yiru has gradually changed from a cooking partner to a good friend, and then to a close friend with a tacit understanding in the eyes of others.

Of course, having said that, if Han Yi pretended to be a male girlfriend and had other plans, Xu Yiru, who is extremely intelligent, would not get so close to him, let alone use him as an excuse to avoid invitations.

It is the most stupid behavior to use someone who likes you as a shield. It will not only hurt others, but also affect yourself.Neither Xu Yiru's nature nor her family education allowed her to do this.

Knowing that using Han Yi as a safe haven would not have any negative impact on him, Xu Yiru spoke out so confidently and boldly.

Xu Yiru's suitors could see Han Yi's attitude clearly. The foolish ones just thought he was not a threat and just ignored him.And smarter people have already started to have a relationship with Han Yi, hoping to find a breakthrough from him.

For example, Zhong Limin.

"Yes, I have an appointment with Jay-Z to watch the ballet together tonight."

Han Yi grabbed the rhythm of the chat and drove on the funny highway.

"I said, Jason, haven't you learned yet? I'll make an appointment next time when I'm not around. She won't have so many things to do."

This is the ingenuity of interpersonal communication, Zhong Limin knows that he has no extra thoughts, and Xu Yiru also knows that it is impossible for him to make a wrong decision.The former knows that the latter is just avoiding the invitation, and the latter doesn't care whether the former sees through his little lie.

It's better to see through it, and save a lot of effort.

In this case, the best solution is of course to make a joke that everyone can feel relieved. If you seriously help Xu Yiru smooth things over, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

"You locomotive!" Xu Yiru stared, gnashed his teeth, broke his power within a second, covered his mouth and turned his head to laugh.

Seriously telling jokes, her Achilles heel.

"Haha, I should listen to you, brother!" Zhong Limin glanced obsessively at Xu Yiru's blooming smile, then restrained his mind, smiled and bumped fists with Han Yi, "I have class later, see you next time Here!"

Politely and generously extend an invitation to the girl you like. After being politely rejected, you will neither be angry nor entangled. Keep your expectations and longings in your heart, and quietly wait for the next better opportunity.

"What a man, Xiao Xu." Han Yi mourned his misfortune and angrily gouged out Xu Yiru's eyes, "Just do things that hurt people's hearts."

"Why did I hurt his heart? I was very tactful, okay?" Xu Yiru raised her voice slightly, and when she saw the professor walk into the classroom, she quickly lowered her voice, her head lowered by two points, "You are joking with him , and blame me."

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault." Han Yi continued to tap on the keyboard lightly, and strings of words quickly appeared on the screen, "Pick one early, or your shield will be shot through."

"There are 22 credits per semester, where is the time to choose?"

Xu Yiru muttered something, and then, as if remembering something, the corner of her mouth curled up into an extremely cute arc.

"Since it's all like this, it's better to make a fake show and make a meal tonight."

The sticky, honey-like voice, paired with the unique vocabulary of the three eastern provinces, and the deliberately learned accent, seem particularly joyful. Needless to say, this word was also taught by Han Yi.

Hearing this, Han Yi just glanced at her, snorted, and continued with his hands.

"Oh, don't be angry." Xu Yiru glanced at Han Yi's screen curiously. Of course, strict tutoring and self-discipline prevented her from really focusing on the other party's iPad. Even if it was right in front of her eyes, it should be his secret. , you can't touch it at all.

Tilting his head and thinking about it, Xu Yiru asked tentatively.

"I'll treat?"

"Sushi Gen."

Xu Yiru didn't even finish his invitation, but Han Yi replied instantly.He grabbed his phone, quickly typed a line of information, and clicked send.

what's the situation?
Xu Yiru took out her vibrating cell phone from her pocket, her vision went dark.

"422 E 2nd St."

"Why did you send me the address..." Xu Yiru was about to raise his head to question Han Yi, but was surprised to find that the latter had already clicked on Yelp, found Sushi Yuan, scrolled down to the menu bar, enlarged the picture and looked at it with relish.

"Don't look at me, look at the teacher."

Han Yi pointed to Professor Barofeo who was making the opening speech of this class, and said in a low voice.

"I'll study the menu and help you find out how to order later. It's more cost-effective... Be obedient, you haven't opened your notebook yet."

Xu Yiru was choked by Han Yi for a full two and a half hours without speaking. After class, she slammed her notebook shut and walked towards the door of the classroom with a stern face.

"Hey!"

Han Yi stood up and shouted to Xu Yiru's back.

"I'm raising you... No, do you still want to eat?"

Xu Yiru couldn't stand Zhou Xingchi's stalking.

Standing there for a few seconds, the girl turned her head, and there was no trace of anger on her face.

"Let's go, you don't even know how to eat, have you ever studied?"

"Not only do I have the guts to eat, but I'm very brave." The film line reading session came to an end here, Han Yi put away his iPad, carried his schoolbag, and caught up with Xu Yiru.

"Where are you going for spring break?"

Walking on the lawn of McCarthy Square, Xu Yiru suddenly asked a question.

"I didn't think about it." Han Yi shook his head, "Maybe he won't go anywhere. There are a lot of things to be busy recently."

Where can you go on vacation more comfortable than your own infinity pool?

Han Yi shouted in his heart.

"Aren't you going out with Zaiyou?" As Han Yi's best friend, Xu Yiru knew his other best friend, which was a perfectly natural thing.In fact, Park Jae Woo is also their very occasional meal partner.

The intersection between two Chinese stomachs and one Korean stomach is much less than imagined.

"What about you?" Han Yi threw the question back. Xu Yiru studied extremely hard, but she was unambiguous when it was time for her to play.During summer vacation, Christmas vacation, spring vacation, and even Martin Luther King Jr. Day, when she can have holidays, she spends time in scenic spots all over the world.

"This time I should... go back to Taipei." Xu Yiru lowered her head slightly, letting her drooping hair hide her expression.

"About parents?" Han Yi didn't talk about relationship issues with Xu Yiru, but the two of them knew almost everything about each other in other aspects.

"Ah."

"It's okay, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and I didn't just know it." Han Yi patted himself on the shoulder, smiled and comforted him, "No, I'll walk with you. If you want to scold whomever you want, I'll beat you."

"Heartless." Xu Yiru gave Han Yi a blank look, "They mainly want to see my attitude... What do you think I should do?"

"No one can know the true thoughts in your heart. I can't do it, and you can't do it. Only when the moment comes, will you know what kind of decision you need to make." When mentioning this topic, Han Yi's attitude seemed unprecedentedly serious, "The decision made at that moment, no matter whether it is good or bad, or right or wrong, it will definitely not leave you with regrets."

"Understood, ok... I will think about it and watch it later." Xu Yiru nodded obediently. She liked Han Yi's side of telling bad jokes, but speaking of it, what she liked most was the moment when her best friend was persuasive to her. .

The apartment garage is not far from the place where the two attend classes, even if you slow down, 10 minutes is enough to arrive.Xu Yiru didn't buy a car in the United States, nor did she take a driver's license test. In order to graduate early, she had to pay extra tuition and credits every semester. Apart from studying and eating, she didn't have time to deal with other things at all.

Every time they partnered, it was Han Yi who drove Xu Yiru around Los Angeles in his Ford Maverick, so she was naturally familiar with this garage and Han Yi's parking space.

"Yi Yi, someone parked in your parking space."

Standing in front of parking space 328, Xu Yiru frowned, turned to Han Yi and said.

"I told you before that if someone occupies your space, ask the building management to let him move it away. Don't park in a temporary parking space by yourself. Don't always say that they may not find a place. How can you suffer yourself every time, just for others? considerate?"

"Okay, I understand." Hearing Xu Yiru's slightly reproachful concern, Han Yi replied softly with a surge of warmth in his heart.

I am a kitten full of milk teeth, but I guard my best friend with bared teeth.

This is one of the key factors why Han Yi is willing to stay with her as a friend.

"Just remember... I'll help you find the building manager."

"and many more."

Han Yi stopped Xu Yiru's footsteps with a sound.

"It's actually my own car."

"what?"

"Before I can tell you, I bought a new car."

Opening the co-pilot's door, Han Yi gestured to come in.

"It's my pleasure to tell you that you are the first passenger in this car."

 Thank you students for your rewards!Asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a recommendation, asking for a follow-up, looking for a collection, the child has not been on the list and wants to be on the list
