Chapter 36
"Hmph! I knew you would ask this for a long time. Fortunately, your sister, I am smart and ready early." Zhao Rong took out a CD from behind with great pride.
"No, sister! I'm going abroad, so you give me a record? And why doesn't this package even have a cover? It's not a pirated version, right? Sister, you're too stingy." Li Tian took the CD box and looked around it, and couldn't help but screamed dissatisfied.
"Don't swallow ivory from your mouth, what a pirated copy! This is my most precious CD. I spent all my savings for it. If you dare to break it a little bit, let's see how I deal with you when I come back!" Zhao Rong raised her fist and knocked it hard on Li Tian's head, threateningly saying.
"Wow! So expensive! Then I have to collect it well, and maybe it will appreciate in the future! But who sang this record so valuable? I have to listen carefully first." Li Tian quickly found his CD Walkman and prepared to try it.
"Not now!" Zhao Rong quickly took action, snatched the Walkman from Li Tian's hand and said, "You can't listen now, you will have to get on the plane."
"What should I do to make it so mysterious... OK! Listen again when I get on the plane, I can listen again when I get on the plane!" Seeing Zhao Rong lifting her white fist again Li Tian immediately changed his mouth.
"I'll give you the CD, but I'll keep this Walkman for you for one night. It's getting late. I'll have to catch a plane tomorrow? I won't bother you anymore, so I'll go to bed long ago!" Zhao Rong left his room after confiscating Li Tian's Walkman.
The next morning, the family set off at the airport. Director Wu and the members of the coaching team rushed here together to say goodbye to Li Tian. Even Song Mingyu, the Sports Weekly, rushed from Hunan without hesitation a few days ago. After the last doping incident, Song Mingyu stood up to support Li Tian's behavior at a critical moment, which relieved their great pressure and thus gained the trust of Li Tian and others. Song Mingyu became very popular with his reports on Li Tian. Now he has become a famous reporter of Sports Weekly, and he is also the only media reporter who has received the news that Li Tian went abroad to study.
He said goodbye to his relatives and friends affectionately, holding the pile of gifts he had just received and bringing everyone's blessings, Li Tian followed Zhao Qingguo into the boarding passage one after another. They wanted to fly to Shanghai first, and then Li Tian was about to fly alone to Germany.
At ten o'clock in the morning, after two hours of flight, the flight landed at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. Zhao Qingguo completed the transfer procedures for Li Tian and sent Li Tian on flight 1557 to Frankfurt, Germany. Li Tian will embark on his completely unknown overseas student career.
The plane officially took off at 12:25 noon, and the journey would take about ten hours to reach Frankfurt Airport. The boredom of long-term flight reminded him of the CD record given to him by his sister. When he was flying to Shanghai, Li Tian's novel feeling of taking the first flight made him forget about this matter.
Taking out the walkman and the record, Li Tian put on the earbuds curiously. After pressing the start button, a series of melodies that he had never heard before hit his eardrums. When the singer's voice sounded in his ears, Li Tian was immediately shocked because the singer's voice in the song was actually Zhao Rong's. At the beginning, Li Tian was a little suspicious, but when he heard the second song, he was very sure of everything about Zhao Rong. He has a strong foundation in learning music in the Youth Palace since he was a child. In recent years, she has gone to an old music professor in the city to attend classes every holiday, which has made her abilities go up to a higher level. She has expressed more than once that she must become an excellent singer in the future, and next year's National Amateur Singer Grand Prix is her goal. Unexpectedly, she took out her actions so soon. This CD must be an entry she prepared.
Li Tian is also a person who likes songs very much. Listening to pop music during training intervals is his main way to relax. Andy Lau and Kelly Chen’s songs are his favorites. Maybe the songs on this record are really attractive, maybe it is his subjective love for Zhao Rong in his heart. Anyway, he is very devoted to listening. He even thinks that the songs here are better than those sung by some so-called "singers". He pressed the play button over and over again, completely immersed in the wonderful music, and spent the boring long-term flight journey so simply.
At 22:37 Beijing time, at 15:37 pm local time in Germany, the flight landed safely at Frankfurt International Airport in Germany. Li Tian set foot on this foreign land for the first time. After getting off the plane and getting his luggage, Li Tian dragged a large suitcase in one hand and carried his beloved NIKE sports bag on his back. While looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, he followed the crowd and walked out of the airport passage.
The two big Chinese characters "Li Tian" were particularly conspicuous among the people waiting for the pick-up. A young man in his twenties was holding it up and looking nervously towards the exit passage. Li Tian also saw the young man specially sent by Professor Bud to pick him up from a distance.
"Hello, I am Li Tian!" Li Tian dragged his luggage to the young man and said in common German that he had just learned.
"Oh! Hello Li Tian, welcome to Germany! My name is Ronnie Jack, and it was Professor Bard who asked me to pick you up." The young man opened his mouth and gave him a warm hug when he came up.
"You...you can speak Chinese!" This surprised Li Tian. There was no need to worry about communication obstacles now.
"Of course, I have half of Chinese descent. My mother is Chinese. We communicate in Chinese at home. I admire Chinese culture very much." Ronnie Jack said while carefully looking at the uniqueness of the very young Chinese boy in front of him. He was able to become the youngest "special admission" in the history of the world-famous institution of Cologne Sports College. However, the result disappointed him. Apart from looking very sunny, this boy named Li Tian could not see anything special.
