Chapter 165
Chapter 165
Smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the wind, Qiang Huan narrowed his black eyes slightly, and the corner of his mouth picked out a barely noticeable arc.
Yes, Qiang Huan is in a very good mood at the moment.After staying in Hogwarts for three weeks, he felt a little bored no matter how attractive the magnificent castle was.Of course, it didn't mean that he looked down on Hogwarts, a prestigious school that is famous all over Europe. The reason why he felt this way was entirely because of one person.
umbridge.
Thinking of her made him want to sigh deeply.
Qiang Huan claimed that he had never been a mean person.But when he saw this woman, he felt that the principle of respecting women, especially older women, that he had adhered to for 16 years might not be able to hold on.
It's not that he has never seen a woman with a "personality", such as eccentric temperament, strange things, what he saw and encountered in the clan, it was really amazing-you know, he was not born with a straight face face.But this Umbridge was really different from the women he knew.how to say?It should be a...feeling of hypocrisy!Anyway, every time he talked to her, he would feel a strong frown welling up from the bottom of his heart, even though he still couldn't fully understand what she said.
Fortunately, because of his face, Umbridge didn't like to talk to him very much after "communicating" with him a few times.After all, no one likes to be treated coldly, especially someone who is used to being praised.
But that doesn't mean it's a pleasant experience to see her and that American boy flirting with each other every day.Although he really admired the American kid's communication skills, listening to them repeatedly communicate with him about things that seem illusory to him is really a challenge for him who is actually very irritable. What kind of torture!
Therefore, when the once-a-month student day came, Qiang Huan, who had already been extremely annoyed by Umbridge's strange tone and dozens of Hogwarts prohibitions, felt the beauty of "outing" for the first time. .
Along with the chattering crowd on the way to "Hogsmeade", Qiang Huan and the other four people who were in a happy mood followed the large group towards the famous village in England.At this time, the northern part of England is full of spring, and the emerald green color is full of people's eyes, and the colorful flowers are like the finishing touch, allowing him to appreciate the natural style of northern England.
"Look, that's the famous 'Screaming Shack' in Hogsmeade. It's said that it's haunted." Pointing to a dusty dilapidated house a few hundred meters away from them, Qiang Huan's roommate Blaise was dutifully walking beside Qiang Huan at this time, introducing Qiang Huan in Cantonese.
This happens for a reason.Logically speaking, this kind of task should be handed over to Drake or Pansy, who are prefects, to complete, but unfortunately... although Drake is proficient in many languages, among them... it just doesn't include Chinese.
Not to mention Pansy.
And Blaise, thanks to his mother, besides English, he happens to know a little bit of French, Spanish, Russian and even Cantonese.It was also based on this consideration that Drake forced Qiang Huan into his dormitory.
It now appears that he made the right choice.When Blaise discovered something was wrong with the exchange student roommate who was thrust into him, and tried to change the way of communication, they realized that the reason why the Chinese boy with a bad personality and difficult to approach did not like to talk to people... In fact, it was just language It doesn't work.
Faced with this dumbfounding answer, Drake and the others, after carefully studying Qiang Huan's expressionless face, handed over Qiang Huan's full authority to Blaise as a matter of course.So much so that during this weekend, Draco and Pansy could leisurely do some things they wanted to do, but he became Qiang Huan's full-time "tour guide" under Umbridge's instruction.
Qiang Huan listened to the not-so-authentic Cantonese, and the curve of his lips became wider.Although he doesn't speak Cantonese very well, but now that Hong Kong movies are booming, he thinks he is at the forefront of his brothers, and he takes it for granted that he doesn't take the "little" difference between dialects and Mandarin.Anyway, even guessing Cantonese, nine out of ten sentences can be understood. For him, it is much better than communicating in his half-baked English.
"Ghost?" Qiang Huan's dark eyes lit up even though he was able to speak, but still maintained the habit of cherishing words like gold, and this unobvious expression made Blaise, who had been watching his reaction, understand him. Interest in "Scream Shack".
"Yes, it is said that on the night of the full moon, there will be a terrible sound coming from there, and no one dares to approach that house." Spreading his hands, Blaise said, "So usually we stand here and watch .”
Rubbing his chin with his fingers, Qiang Huan's eyes were full of doubts, "Why didn't you take it?" Isn't this a very famous wizard village? How could there be such a haunted house?
"Collect?" Blaise obviously didn't understand the meaning of this word. In the case of huge cultural differences, even if some superficial things can be communicated through language, the deeper level still requires the accumulation and precipitation of knowledge.
Seeing this, Qiang Huan knew that he couldn't get an answer from Blaise, and he didn't want to bother to explain what "collecting ghosts" was, so he didn't continue to ask. Instead, he looked at the crowd who had gone a little further away. , said to Blaise, "Nothing, let's go."
"Oh!" Even though he had been able to have some basic communication with Qiang Huan, Blaise still felt that this Chinese boy was really elusive.Even though he was so interested in the "Screaming Shack" just now, he changed his mind in the blink of an eye.
Followed Qiang Huan with a black line to catch up with the large army, Blaise couldn't help but slandered a few words in his heart.But on the surface, he still had a happy face, and he raised his hand to introduce the next scene to Qiang Huan.It's just that he couldn't help thinking faintly in his heart, did Draco and Harry know that this would happen a long time ago, so they gave up their once-a-month trip to Hogsmeade?
Qiang Huan couldn't hear Blaise's sad thoughts, so at this time he was still listening to Blaise's introduction with great interest, and occasionally asked some questions, but he was also smart enough to avoid the previous embarrassment.Soon, they arrived at the village, and Blaise dragged Qiang Huan into the Three Broomsticks bar with his familiarity.
"Let's have a drink before we go shopping. The store must be full of girls now." Blaise explained to Qiang Huan with an experienced look.
Qiang Huan didn't have any objection to this. After all, although the distance from the castle to Hogsmeade was not far, it wasn't too close either. He who always knew how to enjoy himself would certainly not refuse Blaise's proposal.
The Three Broomsticks Bar is actually overcrowded now, Blaise and Qiang Huan finally sat down in a corner after stumbling for a long time.Even though it was already very remote here, there was still one person sitting at the table.Blaise took a look, it was a student of their school, although he looked very unfamiliar, but Blaise still smiled at him.Seeing how friendly they were, the boy gave them a friendly smile.
"What do you want to drink?" Blaise counted down the drinks in the Three Broomsticks bar, and began to ask Qiang Huan for his opinion.Qiang Huan didn't know anything about these drinks, so he let Blaise make his own decisions.
"Then butter beer, that's Ms. Rosmerta's best drink." After choosing a drink, Blaise got up and squeezed towards the bar that was already full of people - in today's situation, I want to drink here early Its signature butter beer, it is impossible not to go to battle in person.
After Blaise left, Qiang Huan began to open the Three Broomsticks in large numbers out of curiosity.I have to say that the owner of this bar is quite ingenious, just looking at the lobby makes people feel very comfortable, no wonder it can attract so many people.
"Well, may I ask, are you Chinese?"
Just when Qiang Huan was focusing on a strangely shaped pendant, suddenly, a voice drew his attention back.In fact, the bar at this time is very noisy, if it is not special enough, it will definitely not attract Qiang Huan's attention.But since Qiang Huan noticed it, it meant that that voice did have something unique about him.
The voice that said that sentence was very pleasant, and it made Qiang Huan feel itchy when he heard it in people's ears.However, what really surprised Qiang Huan was the language used in that sentence.
That's... well-spoken Mandarin!
