Chapter 34 (1/2)

Linda the American Girl

Zhou Jian moved towards her. “h.e.l.lo, I am Zhou Jian. Nice to meet you.” He said this in English. As an honor student in the liberal arts cla.s.s, Zhou Jian’s English is naturally good. He had no problem viewing English movies without the subt.i.tles. However, his spoken language is slightly worse off, as he had only spoken with a foreigner only once before. And it was like, “Nie Se Tuo Met Yuu” or something like that.

This big foreign horse (tl: it’s literal translation, should be just referring to Linda. I don’t know where the horse originated from. I’ll change it to Western Girl because it appeared quite frequently later on) from the US began to crackle. “Are all the people from China as polite as you?”

To Zhou Jian’s surprise, this Western girl actually spoke in Chinese. Although it’s a little stiff, but it was still very fluent.

“You understand Chinese?” Although at present, China’s national strength kept on growing, and the most spoken language in the world is Mandarin, but due to China’s geographical limitation, it’s mostly limited to Asia alone. So, the universal language is still English. The number of Americans that learned Chinese is relatively small.

“You can understand English. How come I cannot understand Chinese?” Linda smiled and extended her hand. Her hand is pale until the blood vessels under her skin could be seen.

This was the second time Zhou Jian shook hand with a woman. Although the feeling is very good, but when contrasted with Chu Qing Yun, there’s still something lacking compared to the soft boneless feeling.

In fact, in Zhou Jian’s opinion, Western girls are pretty, but there’s nothing too distinguis.h.i.+ng. They also have high noses, big eyes, double eyelids but although their skins are pale, they lacked the delicate feeling of the Asian girls. That’s why, Zhou Jian still preferred the gentle and elegant Oriental beauty.

Through their exchange, Zhou Jian learned that Linda was Chu Qing Yun’s senior when she’s studying in Nevada, USA. At that time, they weren’t in the same major, so they didn’t knew about each other.

Afterward, because Chu Qing Yun wanted to bring back the secret formula, she needed to understand the matters regarding the Bounty Hunter a.s.sociation. So, on her own initiative, she contacted Linda, who’s based in Las Vegas. Chu Qing Yun was good with human relations, and Linda was cheerful and liked to make friends. So, they quickly get to know each other well.

“Are you Qing Yun’s boyfriend? You’re in pretty good shape, just lacking a bit of muscle.” Linda was forthright as she looked at him from head to toe.

Zhou Jian was speechless. This Western girl is outspoken. She’s simply too outspoken. Doesn’t she know that such speech is very easy to make the male think that it’s a suggestion? He’d to admit, American girls are very easy in arousing people’s interest. But for Zhou Jian, he hadn’t even tried Chinese woman yet, so he naturally doesn’t has such thinking.

He coughed and said: “My relations.h.i.+p with Chu Qing Yun is just normal friend.”

“Is it? Then that’s really disappointing. I thought she would had a boyfriend by now.” Linda laughed haha and stopped a taxi.

Through their conversation, Zhou Jian knew that Linda was studying archeology. She’s very fond of ancient civilizations around the world, including, of course, the ancient Chinese civilization. That’s why she understood Chinese.

Linda was very interested in the prosperous Sui-Tang dynasties of China. All along the way, she talked endlessy with Zhou Jian about it. Fortunately, Zhou Jian was a top student in liberal arts. Chinese history was his forte. That’s why he could still handle it. They talked all the way until they reached their destination.
