She looked at me and smiled: "That's right."

I couldn't help but laugh. To be honest, I liked her frankness very much.

The University of Sydney has no walls. Even if there is a door, cars are controlled. Anyone can visit and take photos freely in the university. If we want, we can even enter the building, go to the library or wander around the corridors. It is completely different from the management of domestic universities.

, let alone worry about what anyone is doing.

The University of Sydney is very big, but I mainly stared at a few old buildings. Some people say that architecture is frozen music, and you can understand the meaning of this sentence more when you see the buildings in the university. Many of the buildings at the University of Sydney were built in the mid-19th century.

, are now over 150 years old. These buildings embody the artistic style of British architecture, which is dignified, elegant, well-proportioned and beautiful. Every spire and sculpture is not full of rhythm and rhythm, but is a work of art.

People think about it and think about it. Although these buildings have been through spring, summer, autumn and winter for more than a century, they still show a heavy sense of vicissitudes, making people appreciate it like listening to a concert.

Inside the school, there are big trees and green grass. Students from all over the world are sitting on the grass or walking under the green shade, reading, discussing, studying, and talking. This scene evokes the imagination of every older person.

Looking back on my youth, I envy them from the bottom of my heart.

The person who received us was a professor in her forties, a well-known obstetrics and gynecology expert at the University of Sydney School of Medicine. Her name was Kelly.

The professor told us that among the many schools of the University of Sydney, the School of Medicine and the School of Law have unquestionable strength. Among them, the Law School of the University of Sydney is the only partner of Harvard Law School in the southern hemisphere.

In addition to medical research, the medical school also pays extra attention to clinical practice and practice. Most of its teaching staff have front-line clinical experience, which makes the medical school of the University of Sydney unique.

Then we followed her to visit the affiliated hospital of the medical school. This was actually just a quick tour. To be honest, a visit like this did not give us much gain, because many of our domestic tertiary hospitals have already reached the same level.

Hardware and software conditions, and it is impossible for Guan Qin and I to introduce our ongoing research projects to each other, which is academic confidentiality.

In other words, the purpose of our coming here this time is just to take a trip here.

However, Guan Qin soon started talking happily with Kelly. After all, they are both women and both work in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, so they have many common topics.

I deliberately avoided talking to her too much.

At noon, Kelly invited us to have lunch together, but I politely declined. I told her that the main purpose of our visit this time was to establish a relationship with the University of Sydney School of Medicine, and that we would conduct specific cooperation with them in the future.

comminicate.

Guanqin looked at me with doubtful eyes at first, but then she saw that I had spoken out my words, so she said nothing more. She immediately exchanged contact information with Kelly, and then we said goodbye to each other.

"Mayor Feng, do you think the other party's reception standards are too low?" Guan Qin asked me after leaving the University of Sydney.

I replied: "In terms of the standard of reception, this method is indeed too low. This shows that the other party does not value Jiangnan Medical University at all. However, the main purpose of my coming out this time is not to visit here, so they received me

High and low specifications are a so-called thing to me."

She nodded and sighed: "Yes. People only establish close academic exchange relationships with the first-class medical schools in our country. What is our school? Take your time. I think even academic exchanges require strength. As long as

When our scientific research projects are successful, they will take them seriously."

I shook my head and said, "Doctors don't care, we don't need their attention, we just need to do things well ourselves."

She looked at me and smiled, "Mayor Feng, you seem to have a very special national complex, and you are very disgusted with worshiping foreigners. Is that right?"

I laughed and said, "Are you criticizing me or praising me?"

She smiled and said, "What do you think?"

I laughed, "I understand. But I still think that way. We don't need their attention, and attention should be an equal relationship. We can't be inferior to them just because they are foreigners. But I agree with what you said.

:Academic exchange also requires strength.”

She smiled and said to me: "Well, I agree with your point of view. Mayor Feng, we have completed the purpose of this trip this morning and took a lot of photos. We can do business when we go back. Hehe

!I finally understand why everyone likes to go abroad for academic exchanges so much. It turns out that it is mainly for fun? It is a pleasure to travel at public expense."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Why are you speaking so openly? There are some things that we just need to understand in our hearts, but it's not that good to say them out. Don't you think so?"

She smiled and said, "I'm just telling you this in front of you. By the way, Mayor Feng, what are our plans for the afternoon?"

I asked her: "You haven't bought gifts for your relatives and friends this time, right?"

She shook her head and said, "I'm too lazy to buy it. I don't like that."

I thought to myself: You are different. I asked her again: "Then we have to buy some gifts for the leaders of the school and the people in charge of scientific research and graduate studies, right? Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to go and talk to them in the future.

They get along."

She smiled and asked me: "Can I pay the bill?"

I couldn't help but laugh too, "How can you pay for it if you don't buy it?"

She laughed, "I understand. Let's go shopping in the afternoon."

I suddenly felt a little strange: she is an associate professor at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital, so logically there should not be any financial difficulties. I have worked in a hospital, so of course I know her income level.

So, if this factor is excluded, it should be that she is frugal by nature. This is a good way of saying it, but a bad way of saying it is that she is obsessed with money.

Of course, I would not ask her such questions face to face, but I already have a basic idea of ​​her in my mind.

Then I asked her with a smile: "Doctor Guan, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

After thinking for a while, she said: "Let's go to the street to eat and then we will go shopping together."

I thought this was good, so I called a taxi with her to go to the center of the city. When we go abroad, as long as our foreign language skills are sufficient, many things will be much more convenient. It’s not just a matter of taking a car, but also

Have a meal.

When we were in the car, Guan Qin said to me: "Let's go find a Chinese restaurant to eat. I feel very uncomfortable eating Western food these days."

In fact, I feel the same way. It is difficult to change a person's eating habits, and our eating habits are often related to the place where we lived when we were children. For things like Western food, eating it once in a while is not bad, but eating too much is really bad.

It will feel very boring.

But I feel a little strange, "You have lived abroad for so long, why are you not used to life abroad?"

She answered me with a smile: "People like me who study abroad basically cook and eat by themselves. On the one hand, the purpose of going abroad is to plate gold, and on the other hand, it is also to make money. To make money abroad,

Bringing it back home to spend money is the purpose of many people going abroad. To be honest, according to my current income, it should be at a medium level compared to others, but it is still very difficult to buy a house. A house costs dozens

Wan, after adding decoration, buying electrical appliances, etc., all my savings over the years were all spent in one fell swoop. This was all due to the money I earned during the two years I went abroad, otherwise I would still be a house slave now."

What she said is very true. Now I think about my situation when I was working in a hospital. I had an income of close to 20,000 yuan a month, but I didn’t dare to think about buying a house. Therefore, buying a house is really important to ordinary working-class people.

It is indeed a luxury thing.

I nodded and said, "Yeah. But you're not bad. At least you have your own house, and you're not a house slave."

She smiled and said: "Yes. Now I feel quite satisfied, except for the lack of a man."

I coughed hurriedly, and then said: "You are so beautiful, mainly because you are too picky."

She smiled and said: "No, I am a bachelor. Mayor Feng, do you know what a bachelor is?"

I took it for granted and said, "I just don't want to get married, I just want to live alone for the rest of my life. Is that right? Doctor, can I ask you a question that I shouldn't ask?"

She smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask me. You think I might have been emotionally hurt, so I don't want to get married, so I'm disappointed in men. Is that right?"

This was indeed the question I was about to ask her, but I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to say it. I asked her, "Isn't it? Otherwise, I find it difficult to understand why you are like this."

In fact, she had told me about this before, but I always thought it was a little strange. And at this moment, I suddenly thought of another possibility: she couldn't be gay, right?

When I was thinking wildly like this, I suddenly heard her say to me: "I advocate freedom. I don't want to be bound by marriage. The reason is that simple."

Although I don’t understand it, it’s not convenient for me to ask her too many questions in this regard. After all, this is her private matter, and the lifestyle of each of us should be free, and we cannot simply use right or wrong.

to measure.

I smiled and said, "This is your choice, no one else's human rights will interfere."

However, the previous doubt in my mind still exists: she said this, and it still cannot rule out whether there is a problem with her sexual orientation.

I'm not worried about our conversation being overheard by the taxi driver because he is a foreigner.

Sydney's Chinatown is near the commercial center. There are many shops here and there are many customers. When the car stopped, I heard many familiar Chinese voices coming from outside. In such a place and such an atmosphere,

A feeling of touch and kindness will come to you.

Guan Qin got off the bus first and I was paying.

At this time, the foreign taxi driver said to me in a low voice in half-baked Chinese, "Sir, singles do not get married, fall in love, or have sex. But it is obvious that your female companion is pseudo-single.

Activists."

I was stunned immediately, "Why?"

He immediately answered me in fluent English, "She is so beautiful and looks very charming. So I don't think she is really a true bachelor."

I couldn't help but laugh. I thought this foreigner was a bit troublesome at the same time. I paid him and prepared to get out of the car, but then I heard him say again, "Pseudo-bachelors only want to get out of the car."

Sex does not require an established love relationship between a man and a woman, nor does it require a marriage relationship. It is a relationship that only requires sex. That’s how I am.”

This foreigner is crazy. I immediately thought in my mind.

At this time, I saw Guan Qin standing under the plaque at the entrance of Chinatown and looking up. There were four words on the plaque: We are one family everywhere.
