Qiu Huoming glanced in Capone's direction and saw that the two of them had already left.
After a while, someone came in, woke up Jami who was lying on the ground, and helped him out.
The excitement ended here, and the owner of the store appeared from somewhere. He walked quickly towards Qiu Huoming and said, "I'll treat you to dinner today. It's wrong of us to disturb you..."
The boss handed over a card with a smile, "Come here next time and you can get a 15% discount..."
William took it and said, "Thank you..."
Danielle glared at William, "It's not for you."
William put his hand on Qiu Huoming's shoulder, "We are brothers, what's his is mine."
The boss on the side breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had no intention of pursuing the matter. He took a few steps back and turned to leave.
"Let's go. Today has been quite fulfilling. Let's go out for a walk and enjoy the sea breeze." Qiu Huoming suggested.
Anna was the first to respond, "Okay, although we can't see anything in the sea right now."
"Today has been full of twists and turns. My heart is still beating wildly." Anna stood up and said with lingering fear while putting on her coat.
Danielle nodded, "Me too."
After leaving the restaurant, William looked around and handed the card in his hand to Qiu Huoming. "I just feel my adrenaline soaring. How did you do it? You don't look nervous at all..."
Qiu Huoming took the card, turned around and handed it to Anna, "This is for you. I will be returning to China in a few days, so it's useless for me to have this."
After Anna took the card, he patted William on the shoulder and said, “Brother, you have to compete for the position of leader of your family in the future. You are not qualified if you can be panicked by such a small matter.”
William was stunned when he heard this. Danielle had already walked forward and everyone immediately followed.
Several people walked towards the beach. William was silent for a while, and finally said, "Maybe I really treat you as a brother. I don't care about other people."
William, who has always been a scoundrel, suddenly said something like this, which warmed Qiu Huoming's heart.
"I treat you as a brother too." He responded with a smile.
Danielle came forward, "What about me..."
William raised the corner of his mouth, "Daniel, I still need a girlfriend..."
Danielle glared at him, "Your girlfriends could form a soccer team."
The coast is right next to us. There is no moonlight tonight, but there are stars all over the sky...
When my vision adjusted to the night, the stars became more dazzling, and more points of light appeared on the dark sea. The lights of the ships that were bobbing up and down with the waves nearby had been turned off long ago. They were lined up quietly with their pointed masts standing upright, like silent giants.
The night wind blew over, bringing a slight chill.
Anna pointed to a vague island in front and said, "That's Devil's Island..."
It was too dark at night and I couldn't see it clearly. This is Alcatraz Island where many Hollywood directors come to shoot scenes. It doesn't look very big from a distance.
The waves beat against the rocks, and everyone walked around the plank road. There was nothing to see here at night.
Anna smiled and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back, otherwise the last bus will stop..."
She looked at Qiu Huoming and said, "I will return to Hong Kong City to work after graduation. You have my phone number, remember to come find me..."
Qiu Huoming nodded, "Okay."
William put his hand on Qiu Huoming's shoulder and said, "Let's go. It's not suitable to talk about this tonight. It's too sad."
Everyone walked towards the street.
"I wanted to treat you to a nice meal today, but I didn't expect that you would treat me instead."
Anna said softly, "I owe you again."
"Then I'll wait for you to return to Hong Kong City and auction some things for me. Of course, I'll have to wait until you graduate..." Qiu Huoming said with a smile.
"No problem, the commission will be halved." Anna said generously.
"No need, the commission is normal, I have to give you this money. Your professional level can help me make more money..." Qiu Huoming acted like a profiteer.
William on the side clicked his tongue and said, “Qiu, why don’t you come and help me with things in the future.”
"It's not impossible. You are welcome to invest in my company. When you become a shareholder, I will naturally help you..." Qiu Huoming said proudly.
"Don't worry, I can definitely do it, just wait..."
Danielle smiled and said, "You all speak so well, but you can't let me down. My original dream was to stay in school and become a teacher..."
"Oh, what now?" William asked.
"I want to go to China during the summer vacation. I want to see what the East looks like..." Danielle crossed her arms, her face full of anticipation.
"Is it difficult to get a visa?" Qiu Huoming asked.
Danielle was startled, "This..."
William burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, Daniel, you should just be a teacher. Teachers also have holidays."
"No, I don't want to widen the gap between us, Sister Anna, Hong Kong City is also a free port, right?"
Danielle asked.
Anna nodded. "Yes, that's right. Hong Kong has a diverse culture and is very tolerant of outsiders."
"I will go to Hong Kong City first during the summer vacation. After I graduate, I will go to work in Hong Kong. I have good grades in the class, and I will be even better..." Danielle was beaming with joy, her face was extremely lively, and her cheeks were a little flushed from drinking. She looked very cute.
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Come on, come and work in my company first, the salary is up to you..."
"You said it, and you can't go back on your word. That..." Danielle thought for a moment, "That, we'll make a pinky promise and never change it for a hundred years." She held out her right little finger.
Qiu Huoming suppressed his smile and made a pinky promise with her.
"Childish." William stretched out his hand and Qiu Huoming patted it.
"See? This is a man." William looked like he was asking for a beating.
Daniel reached out and twisted his arm hard, causing him to scream in pain.
Everyone walked and laughed along the way. Although separation was imminent, we would be able to meet again in the future. The future was described as so beautiful that it diluted the sadness of separation.
The station finally arrived and Anna had to part ways with them.
She opened her arms, "Huo Ming, give me a hug."
Qiu Huoming bent down, and Anna hugged him gently, then quickly let go. "Let's go. See you later." She turned around and walked to the other side without looking back.
William said regretfully: "Why didn't Sister Anna say goodbye to me too?"
Danielle looked at him helplessly, "Stop drooling..."
"Don't spread rumors. There's no saliva..."
"I saw it. It's almost dripping onto the ground."
"you……"
Qiu Huoming did not try to stop them and let them quarrel. There were not many people at the station. It was a night bus and the passengers were either office workers or people who were out eating or drinking and returning late. The night breeze was blowing gently and they looked at these three young and lively people. A smile appeared on their tired faces as they listened to their laughter.
The car finally arrived.
Qiu Huoming sat back in his old seat. This time, the person sitting next to him was Daniel, not William. William sat in the back row, looking aggrieved.
"You guys are forming a small group..."
Danielle reached out and held Qiu Huoming's arm, "Yes, we are a small group."
"But Daniel, Qiu already has a girlfriend in the country," William said.
Danielle snorted, "Qiu told me."
William said pitifully: "Daniel, I don't have a girlfriend yet..."
"He is my future boss..."
"I can also be your future boss..."
The two started arguing again. Qiu Huoming rubbed his cheeks, which felt a little cold from the sea breeze.
He turned his head and glanced at them, "So, you really don't plan to date someone?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Danielle blushed.
William shrank back, “This…she…”
William, who was always eloquent, was speechless. He glanced at Danielle secretly.
Danielle reached out her hand and touched her cheek, and whispered, "Why is it so hot? I don't think I drank much today..."
"Because you made me drink it all." William pulled his collar and muttered.
Qiu Huoming raised the corner of his mouth. They were all young people. Daniel might have some feelings for him at the beginning, but in fact, she was more curious, curious about an Oriental person.
When he realized something was wrong, he found an opportunity to tell her that he already had a girlfriend. Danielle was definitely extremely intelligent to be able to go to Stanford, and he understood it immediately, and gradually gave up thinking about Qiu Huoming.
Someone next to her started playing a song on a cassette, and Daniel's nervous expression gradually relaxed.
"Hey, Qiu, was that Chinese Kung Fu you used to beat up that fat guy today?" Daniel turned her head and asked when her cheeks were no longer so hot.
Qiu Huoming nodded, "This is called Bajiquan. The so-called 'Baji' means that the force can reach far away places in all directions..." He gave a brief introduction.
"Wow, can you teach me?" Danielle asked.
"I'm afraid it's too late. This boxing style requires basic skills. If you don't have the basic skills, it will be useless to practice. But I can teach you the basic skills." Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "You can practice it when you have nothing to do to strengthen your body..."
"I want to learn too." William poked his head from behind and said.
"We'll teach you together, as long as you can endure the hardship." Qiu Huoming laughed and said, "Basic skills are very boring. You can't just start out like me and punch everywhere..."
"It's just like when I learned dance before, right?" Daniel said with a bitter face.
William laughed. "It's the same with baseball. Training and swinging the bat countless times is also very boring."
Qiu Huoming turned his head and glanced at him. When he talked about baseball now, his expression was normal, unlike before when he always looked full of hatred and resentment.
"First of all, I want to make it clear that the purpose of practicing boxing is to strengthen the body, not to be brave and aggressive, and it is even more forbidden to bully the weak..."
The basic skills do not involve the mysteries of Bajiquan, so Qiu Huoming can teach them casually. These are within the scope allowed by Xu Lang.
The train continued forward and had left the city. Without street lights, it began to get dark around us.
The music on the cassette was still playing, and everyone gradually quieted down, listening to the song without making any noise.
Before she knew it, Danielle had fallen asleep leaning on Qiu Huoming's shoulder.
William leaned against the window, his head swaying with the rhythm of the train. The window reflected the profiles of Daniel and Qiu Huoming, and he felt a little bitter in his heart.
Qiu Huoming had his own thoughts on what he said just now.
But Danielle was never attracted to him. He was a sports student, with a good figure, handsome appearance, and a good family background. He was indeed a bit romantic when he first entered the school, and Danielle probably saw all of this...
He sighed and collected his thoughts.
The train finally stopped at the station. Danielle woke up from her sleep. William came over and said, "Daniel, if you are sleepy, I will carry you back."
Danielle shook her head in confusion, "I can walk on my own."
She stood up holding the handrail, and when she got off the car, she vaguely remembered what William meant by this sentence. Danielle reached out and patted William's arm, "William, you are not really attracted to me, are you?"
William laughed. "How is that possible? You are thinking in the wrong way."
Danielle breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I was worried for a long time."
Qiu Huoming glanced at William silently, very good, he was single based on his strength.
It was already midnight when Qiu Huoming returned to the dormitory.
After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and began to review what had happened recently. What happened tonight was actually very dangerous, and he was a little too reckless this time.
After all, Dean Zhou just reminded him today to keep a low profile recently.
Fortunately, Capone was a relatively law-abiding person, and his adventures were somewhat effective.
After thinking for a while, he turned off the lights and fell asleep.
The next morning, as soon as he arrived at the classroom, he saw two people standing at the door. One of them he knew, an embassy staff member who had visited him once on his first day in San Francisco. The other one looked unfamiliar, also Chinese.
Before he could get close, the other person was already walking towards him.
"Comrade Qiu Huoming." The embassy staff walked over with a smile and shook hands with him.
"I didn't care about you guys after we parted last time. I'm guilty of neglecting my duty. Let's go. There are some things we want to investigate."
Qiu Huoming showed a curious look, "What's the matter?"
The staff member looked around and said, "It's hard to talk here. Let's go and talk in the car."
He pointed to a car not far away and said.
Qiu Huoming responded and followed obediently.
After getting in the car, the other party didn't show any displeasure and still looked kind.
"Tell me, what kind of person is Dean Zhou?"
Qiu Huoming looked confused. "Dean Zhou is very impressive academically. He is a good teacher and a helpful friend. We can learn a lot of useful knowledge from him. He also takes good care of us and helps us a lot in life and study..."
His words were almost flawless.
The staff member frowned, and the comrade next to him in a white shirt spoke up, "Comrade Qiu, you probably don't recognize me. My name is Chang Lei, and I'm a colleague of Comrade Xiao Qin. I'm here to see you today, not to hear polite words."
Chang Lei's face was heavy. "You need to tell the truth. Don't shield Dean Zhou just because he is your leader. We won't spread what you tell us now, so just speak with confidence."
Qiu Huoming straightened his neck, "These are my true words."
Xiao Qin glanced at Chang Lei and said, "Comrade Qiu is still a student. It's normal that he doesn't understand how sinister people are."
Chang Lei's expression eased a little, "Okay, then tell us who Engineer Ding usually interacts closely with?"
"Engineer Ding?" Qiu Huoming asked back, "Is he the guy who spilled the Coke bottle in the car?"
Chang Lei looked at Xiao Qin, and Xiao Qin smiled and said, "Yes, it was him. I also heard from the driver that this guy was too reckless."
