Chapter 38
Michelle was shocked when she saw how skinny Zhang Lisheng was and mumbled, "Did he really not have enough to eat in China?" She was not as threatening as she was earlier .
Riley who was the most sensible approached Zhang Lisheng directly and gave him a comforting hug, "Nice meeting you, Lisheng . My name's Riley S . Lavin, you can call me Riley . "
"Excuse me, my dear sister . "
"Hi little fella, my name's Randy Lavin…" Randy whose naturally energetic was the next one to show kindness to Zhang Lisheng .
Gill and Harry became the next ones to hug and welcome Zhang Lisheng . They were the ones who were related by blood to him . Michelle was still a little bit unwilling but in the end, she still gave the young man who came far away from China's mountain village a hug .
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better and better, Sullo clapped loudly while smiling and said, "Alright kids, our welcoming party will now begin since all of you have met your new brother . "
"I'm sorry Lisheng, we'll get you a cake and lobsters tomorrow but we have fried steak and muffins now . Although they're not a great combination, those are the only two dishes that I'm capable of making and I can guarantee you that they're delicious . "
"Thanks, Uncle Lavin . " After Zhang Lisheng showed his gratitude, they made him sit in the middle of the dining table .
The beginning part of the dinner was considered harmonious but the atmosphere started to fall off since Zhang Lisheng was only answering questions passively and that behavior revealed that he was unsociable and introverted since he was not taking the initiative to speak .
American youngsters who were independent and possessed a personality of their own were even more self-centered than Chinese kids where they would not intentionally cater to others' feelings .
Sullo noticed that immediately and wiped his mouth with a napkin seeing that there was not much food left on the dining table, "Lisheng, are you done eating?"
"I'm done, Uncle Lavin . "
"Then I'll let you rest, come take a look at the room that we've prepared for you . "
"Take a hot shower and have a good night sleep, the time difference will be adjusted naturally . "
"Go, baby . Follow your Uncle Lavin upstairs . " Lili who was sitting beside him encouraged him .
Zhang Lisheng nodded and carried his backpack that he placed at his feet and walked upstairs following quietly behind Sullo .
Sullo cracked a joke when they were on the second floor, "Lisheng, you should train more and be more outspoken or else girls wouldn't like you . " He seemed to want to resolve the rather awkward situation that he was in when being alone with Zhang Lisheng .
Zhang Lisheng responded with a smile to that, while he held his head down .
Sullo let out a sigh secretly and walked to the furthest room on the second-floor corridor . He opened the door, switched on the lights and said, "Look, Lisheng . This is your room . "
"Apart from the main bedroom, this is the only bedroom that comes with an individual bathroom among all of the other bedrooms . I posted a couple of Chinese paintings on the wall, I think you would like them . "
Looking into the room from the entrance, it was approximately twenty square meters big . There was a big American single-bed against the wall on the west . A small bedside table next to the bed with an iPad and a table lamp on it and a window next to it .
There were a brand new computer table and a new computer on the wall at the foot of the bed . There was a small door against the wall across, it was the bathroom .
There were faint marks of posters that were removed, the odd-styled printed images of Chinese landscape paintings were covering the poster marks .
"How is it? Isn't it amazing?"
"It's amazing indeed . " Zhang Lisheng looked numbly at the poor quality landscape paintings on the wall that looked more like ink stains than landscape paintings and said, "But can I move the bed under the window instead? I'm used to sleeping with the moonlight shining on me . "
Sullo was surprised and said, "Most people prefer the other way round . But it's your room, you can decorate it any way you want . "
He walked in big steps to move the bedside table to the side of the wall and moved the single-bed under the window with all their strength together with Zhang Lisheng .
After adjusting the new setup of the room for the last time, Sullo took a good look at the room again and said, "How about now?"
"It looks very comfortable now . Thank you so much for everything that you've done for me, Uncle Lavin . "
"It's nothing, young man . We're family, this is what I should do for you . "
"Alright, I shall not bother you from taking a rest . Good night . " Sullo said while backing out of the room .
Zhang Lisheng turned off the ceiling lights when he was left alone .
All of a sudden, the room was in complete darkness . The only light left was the moonlight that was shining outside of the window, giving him an idea of how the room's structure was without having to trip and fall .
Zhang Lisheng let out a sigh of relief in satisfaction as he was being in the dark . He then took out his wizard worm from his backpack .
