3、卡塞尔之门（2）

　　u Mingfei was such a guy that not very distinguished but also didn’t have the ability to do something real evil, he was eighteen years old but couldn’t figure out what his own future is.
　　“ Mingfei, I hear that you will study abroad.” The old man of newsstand said leisurely.
　　“Nothing, just apply, what’s more, who will accept me?”, squatting besides the stall and scanning the magazines, Lu said.
　　“ It’s brilliant to study abroad, when you return, you will be ‘turtle’(which means the elites who return their nation from foreign country), earning more.”
　　“ I don’t like earning more, if I couldn’t enter the university, I will assist you to manage this stall, the payment is not a problem, just fit the price of the Play Station2.”
　　“ You idiot, selling the newspaper couldn’t make you wealthy, I’m just too old.”
　　Blinking his eyes and staring the sunshine filtered by the leaves, he said, “Not bad, I could have a sun bath and stay blank when no one visit with some passing by beautiful girls to appreciate.”
　　This topic made him a little disappointed, although he has applied for the American college, but he grades were awful. For his awful grades, everybody had a comment. His classroom teacher said “ Lu, do you belong to weights? Do you know that you descend the average score of whole class?” his aunt said to his uncle: because of my clan’s blue vein, Mingze had good grades, your clan’s gene is awful. Only Mingze encouraged him: Cheer up! Sunset, you walk in your way which is the way of ours. Whatever anything happened, you are my pretty girl.”
　　Studying abroad was a gamble of his aunt, she forced Lu to complete the forms and she even generously paid the apply fees of colleges. Aunt had her own scheme: among the grades of Lu’s all subjects, only his English was distinguished, because he followed his classmate “English devil” preparing the exam of TOEFL and achieved a not bad grade. With Lu’s grades, it’s difficult to touch the line of first batch, recently it’s popular to give up the examination and study abroad, they just fill the forms and pray for the lucky lady, it’s also a proper reason to use the money sent by Mingfei’s parents.
　　Besides, aunt had more schemes, although Mingze’s grades were better than Mingfe’s, they were far from the top, at least can’t make him enter the top university like TsingHua and Beijing University, but if Mingze also chose to gave up his exam and studied abroad, it was something made her proud. But entering college was something lifespan, she didn’t want to make her son take advantage. Finally, maybe was impressed by some maxims that the tough paths are paced and stamped by brave men. In her mind, Mingfei was the brave one, so she decided to make him pace a path for his cousin, if he failed, nothing serious, it inferred that this path was not accessible, Mingfei could delayed a year and entered the exam with Mingze.
　　But only courage was not insufficient for tough path, with many harsh stone along it. Mingfei had constantly received nearly ten letters, the starts were similar, just like that；
　　Dear applicant,
　　Thanks for the interest for our school, it’s a pity that…
　　His aunt costing hundreds of dollars just get the countless thanks of Americans, she was painful, but Lu Mingfei was patient and peaceful, just to match the disappointment of his aunt, squeezing some sad appearance.
　　Now only a college hasn’t sent him the mail, the top bland college, the University of Chicago.
　　“My letter?” Lu Mingfei appeared in the guard room, showing his English pronunciation, “ MIngfei Lu.”
　　“Here, from America.” The guard tossed a letter out.
　　Lu Mingfei had a touch, only a piece of paper in the envelope, undoubted the refused letter. If it was an applied letter, many forms and materials would follow. One piece of paper was enough to thank you for the application and express the pity.
　　Lu Mingfei tore the envelope, the letter even was written in Chinese.
　　Dear Mr. Lu:
　　Thanks for your interest to our university, but it’s shameful that you were not selected.
　　But as we said that the roads were more than one, it only denied on your choice.
　　Initially let me introduce the Carsell college, a private school located in the far suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, which was the sister school of the University of Chicago, we had a overall academic communication.
　　It’s our honor to get your applied form from the University of Chicago, through thoroughly assessment, we sincerely expressed our invitation.
　　Please contact the Professor Guderian in the first time, he is busy with an academic interaction in China, he would arrange your interview.
　　If your had any confusion, just contact with Professor Gudrian, I would assisted him to offer the service to you, I ‘m the secretary of Carsell, Noma Lawns, my honor.

　　Lu MIngfei put the letter down, caressed his forehead, a little drowsy.
