Anita sat in her seat, her mind racing. She even peeked at Ethan from ti to ti.
She was too focused on her thoughts and didn’t even notice the person on the stage calling her na.
The person beside her reached out and poked her. "Anita? You’re Anita, right? It’s ti for you to go on stage and explain your views on this experint."
Hearing this, Anita quickly ca back to her senses and stood up with a smile. As she walked, she looked at the person beside her and said, "Thank you."
Anita was still a distance from the podium, so she could calm down during the ti she walked to the podium.
This was the first ti she had made a public speech at such an important venue. She was afraid that she would make a mistake. When she really stood on the stage, she held the information in her hand tightly.
She composed herself and said, "Hello, everyone. I’m Anita, I’m one of the mbers of the Columbia University exchange experint."
After saying this, she paused for a mont, and warm applause sounded from below.
She knew that this round of applause wasn’t unique to her, but every person who went on stage to give a speech would receive it. But to Anita, this was an encouragent. She listened to the applause and tried to calm down, then continued.
"I know that many people who are participating in this experint are very outstanding in their majors, and I’m just a student who has yet to graduate. I’m very happy to be able to participate in this exchange program and hope to learn more from everyone."
After introducing her views, Anita bowed and walked down the stage to her seat.
When she was almost at her seat, Anita saw Ethan staring at her in shock while she kept smiling. He even mouthed sothing to her.
Anita didn’t know what he was talking about, but she could guess what he ant. "You’re great. You’re doing great."
Anita couldn’t help but smile when she saw this. She nodded and then sat down in her seat.
The subsequent eting was for each mber to go on stage and introduce their views.
Anita was very focused. She was here to learn. After hearing so many outstanding people express their views, she felt enlightened.
When she reached out, the notebook that was temporarily put in her bag ca in handy. When she heard soone suggest a good idea, she imdiately rembered it.
When the eting was about to end, she had used up half of the brand new notebook.
When it was past four, the eting finally ended. Everyone walked out.
Anita was in no hurry. She was at the back of the line with Ethan. "Ethan, where are you staying? Is it this hotel?" Anita asked Ethan.
Ethan nodded at Anita and said, "Yes, I live here too, on the 19th floor."
"Really? We’re in the sa hotel? I’m on the 21st floor," Anita said happily.
"By the way, let’s go eat later," Anita said to Ethan.
Ethan looked at Anita’s smiling face and still couldn’t bear to refuse.
So he smiled and said, "Okay, wait for to put my things back in the room."
"Okay, we’ll et in the hotel lobby later," Anita said with a nod.
Ethan said nothing more and nodded.
The two of them followed the crowd out of the eting room and went into the room.
Anita was very fast. She placed her information in the room, looked in the mirror, and saw that her attire was fine. Then, she opened the door and hurried to the first floor lobby.
When she reached the hall, she saw Ethan waiting for her. She hurriedly walked to Ethan’s side and smiled. "Ethan, have you been to England before? This is the first ti I’ve been to England. Do you know any delicious places in England? Let’s go and taste it." Ethan looked at Anita’s cute smile. She was still the sa as before, and her eyes lit up when she ntioned food. She seed no different from when they were together in the past.
At the thought of this, Ethan’s expression couldn’t help but soften. He said, "What do you want to eat? Or let’s walk around the streets. If we see anything delicious, we’ll try it."
"Okay, okay. Let’s go, then." Anita listened to Ethan and took his hand as they walked out.
Ethan glanced at Anita, who was holding his hand tightly without saying anything, and followed her out.
The hotel they were staying in this ti was close to the famous British food street, "Borough Market," although the two of them hadn’t planned things beforehand.
