Chapter 100: The West Asian country is a Muslim country and does not eat pork.
Not long after the group returned to their dormitory, Jiang Chengcheng finished washing up and went back to her warm bed.
Today, the development of TikTok has reached its peak, and it is almost no different from that of later generations.
The first video that Jiang Chengcheng saw when she opened the interface was unexpected; the main character in the video was Sirius, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
A foreign-looking man was seen reporting on his work while holding documents in his hand.
“I’d like to take country D’s exports as an example. Country D is close to us, but half of their annual production is exported. Germany produces 600 million tons of pork every year, of which 300 million are exported to other countries, primarily China, West Asia, and also corn-producing countries and Japan. Therefore, we absolutely cannot stop on the issue of pork production. We should expand production and build a large-scale production and marketing consortium in Yuandong…” The foreign man in the video spoke eloquently, but was interrupted halfway through his sentence by Sirius next to him.
“Um… West Asia is a Muslim country, they don’t eat pork,” Sirius reminded the foreign man, barely suppressing a laugh.
.........
Upon hearing this, the foreign man seemed to fall into a brief moment of self-doubt before slowly speaking.
"Okay, southern corn, but that's not important. I believe they'll eat it in the future..."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Sirius could no longer hold back and covered his face with his hands, unable to hide his laughter. His official colleagues next to him burst into laughter.
Jiang Chengcheng, watching from outside the screen, couldn't help but burst into laughter. This was the first time she had ever seen Sirius so humorous.
Because of their previous teacher-student relationship, Sirius was usually serious, calm, and reliable in front of Jiang Chengcheng. But Jiang Chengcheng could sense that the real Sirius was a humorous, easy-going person with a strong personality.
Perhaps because it had been so long since they last met, Jiang Chengcheng replayed the video over and over again.
I want to etch the other person's current appearance into my mind, constantly repeating it to myself, without even knowing what the other person is doing right now.
I want to make a long phone call, but I'm afraid of bothering the other person.
Jiang Chengcheng had no idea what Sirius was doing at that moment.
……
e-country Kremlin.
It was already 10:30 p.m.
Sirius rubbed his eyes, sighed deeply, and looked at the stack of books his secretary had bought for him with a somewhat helpless expression: "New Practical Chinese Textbook," "Comprehensive Textbook for Accelerated Basic Chinese," "New Concept Chinese," and "Practical Modern Chinese Grammar." These were all essential books for learning Chinese.
Sirius originally thought that English was difficult enough to learn, but now it seems that compared with Chinese, it is relatively simple.
Previously, when communicating with Jiang Chengcheng, the two of them always used Y language as the main language.
Over time, Sirius felt that some things couldn't be expressed clearly in the Y language, so he simply asked his secretary to find him a course to learn Chinese.
After studying for a month, he was still only at the beginner level, and the subsequent courses became more and more difficult each day.
Thinking of the little girl, Sirius suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the first day of her school term.
He checked the time; it should be earlier in China than in the US. Then he dialed the girl's number.
……
Meanwhile, Jiang Chengcheng was in her dormitory, being questioned by her three roommates.
"Chengcheng! What are you smiling like an idiot for?"
"Could it be that she has a boyfriend?"
"What the hell! Who's such a beast! They even prey on a sixteen-year-old minor!"
Jiang Chengcheng listened to her three roommates' back-and-forth banter and found herself both amused and exasperated.
"No, I just came across a really funny video." Jiang Chengcheng avoided the questions from the group. Besides, she didn't think she was in a relationship yet; it was still very early on!
"Huh? Really? Chengcheng, don't let yourself be fooled by some bad man at such a young age without ever seeing how wicked the world can be!"
"That's right! You're the youngest in our dorm! You're the group's darling! You have to listen to your older sister!"
Of the three, Liu Xixi and Gao Xuanyi were the most animated in their conversation.
Just as Jiang Chengcheng was amused by the expressions of the two people and didn't know what to say, her phone suddenly rang. Jiang Chengcheng looked down at it.
Oh! It's a call from the "bad guy".
Jiang Chengcheng gestured to the others that they would talk later, and then answered the phone.
"Hello? Sirius, what's wrong?" Perhaps even Jiang Chengcheng herself didn't realize that her voice only sounded particularly like a little girl's when she was facing Sirius.
"Nothing, I just remembered that today seems to be the first day of your school term. I wanted to ask how your roommates are? Are they easy to get along with?" Sirius's somewhat deep voice came through the phone.
"They're all great. Oh, right! Sirius, did you know I came across a funny video about you today?" Jiang Chengcheng said with a big smile, eager to share her day's experiences.
"What video?" Sirius was somewhat surprised. Could his videos still be found in China?
"Ahem! West Asia is a Muslim country, they don't eat pork." Jiang Chengcheng coughed twice and spoke in Y language, mimicking the tone from Sirius's video.
He couldn't help but burst out laughing as soon as he finished speaking, but luckily his roommates had all gone back to playing games, so they didn't notice.
As if remembering something, Sirius, upon hearing this, was also infected by Jiang Chengcheng's laughter.
"You saw that? Actually, I encounter a lot of unexpected and humorous everyday things every day. If you like to hear about them, I can share them with you. But in exchange, you have to tell me about your own experiences."
Sirius heard Jiang Chengcheng stop laughing and then spoke.
"Me? You might not believe it →_→, we're completely opposite! You only encounter interesting things, but I seem to be under a curse, only meeting weirdos, so let's not talk about it." Jiang Chengcheng thought about the things she had encountered and had no desire to confide in anyone, because they were too disgusting.
"What's wrong? Not everyone I meet is interesting. It's just that I'm good at making someone interesting. If you change your perspective, you'll always find unexpected fun. Besides, we complement each other in another way. I tell jokes, and you plant melons?" Perhaps sensing Jiang Chengcheng's subtle unhappiness, Sirius put down the phone and tried to comfort her.
"Okay, I got it. Just watching the show!" Jiang Chengcheng said her last sentence in Mandarin, but Sirius, whose Mandarin was only at a beginner level, naturally didn't understand this old internet meme.
"A bystander?" Sirius asked in somewhat awkward Mandarin, his tone questioning.
"Oh dear! I can't talk to you anymore! It's late! Goodnight!" Afraid that Sirius would really make her explain the specific meaning of "spectators," Jiang Chengcheng quickly hung up the phone.
joke!
How would you translate the term "spectators" into English?
Please forgive her limited vocabulary!
