Chapter 620 - 252: Trust Me, I'm Right!_4
"Hmm? Who are you?"
"A student from the International Students Institute, you can call me Ronnie, as some of my Huaxia friends like to call me, or you can call me Ben, like my American brothers do, I don't mind either."
While introducing himself with a smile, Ben Ronny noticed the girl beside Chen Yiwen making a gesture to cover her nose.
Damn it...
This made Ben Ronny feel a bit wounded in his pride.
He had clearly already sprayed cologne.
Is there still a smell?
It's mainly because the weather is starting to get hot at this time of year.
Is this Huaxia person too sensitive to smells?
"Oh, Ronnie, can you guys at the International Students Institute also see my videos?" Chen Yiwen blinked and asked.
Although the person opposite did indeed have a very special smell emanating from his body, it was a clear yet hard to accurately describe scent made up of a mix of stink and cologne.
However, in Chen Yiwen's hometown of Linhai, the air was always filled with a fishy smell, which gave him a relatively strong tolerance for special odors. It wasn't to the point that he couldn't bear it.
What was more important was that Chen Yiwen was possibly more excited than the guy opposite him to see a foreigner suddenly greeting him.
After all, he was a man on an important secret mission.
And yet, after the school had promoted him for so long, not a single sufficiently suspicious person had approached him, which really made Chen Yiwen feel quite frustrated.
Was it because he looked too incorruptible, or because they simply didn't take him seriously, convinced that he was just a non-essential extra?
If it was the former, Chen Yiwen felt he could accept it.
But obviously, the chances of it being the former were not great.
After all, these people hadn't even tried to test him, which was quite unreasonable.
It was bad enough to be underestimated by his own people, he certainly couldn't be looked down upon by a bunch of foreigners, could he?
Now that a suspicious person had finally appeared, it did satisfy Chen Yiwen's pride to some extent.
However, with his previous experience interacting with Hanna, Chen Yiwen didn't immediately classify the Western face before him as a spy.
He had been pondering every night before going to sleep for some time.
In Chen Yiwen's imagination, even if westerners wanted his material model, they would most likely send someone with an Asian face to contact him. Whether it was a domestic agent or someone from the islands to the east, they were all possibilities.
Because that would be less conspicuous.
Conversely, if a Westerner approached him right off the bat, Chen Yiwen thought that this person's work was too sloppy and didn't quite match the strong, mysterious, and ruthless image from the movies.
"Of course, as long as you open those apps, everyone can see. Many people at the International Students Institute are also talking about you. Of course, most of them are talking about Dou Dou. But you know, we humans can't compare with artificial intelligence; it's too novel."
Ben Ronny, suppressing the urge to turn and walk away, pretended not to notice the small step back that Chen Yiwen's female companion took, and shrugged professionally as he said.
Is it necessary?
He bathes every day.
The fleeting unnatural expression on Ben Ronny's face caught Chen Yiwen's attention. He glanced sideways at Deng Tingting next to him and instantly understood.
His eyes rolling, Chen Yiwen suddenly became even more enthusiastic than Ben Ronny: "Haha, actually, all those are just passing clouds. The main credit goes to our God Qiao. Right, are you here to return a book, too?"
"Yes, I've been quite interested in the thoughts of Maurice Merleau-Ponty recently, and I've been studying his books."
"Who is Maurice Merleau-Ponty?" Chen Yiwen asked with curiosity.
Ben Ronny was a bit stunned.
Had he made a mistake?
Wasn't the book in this guy's hand Maurice Merleau-Ponty's "Phenomenology of Perception," just like he had seen in the video? Judging by his expression, he didn't seem to be faking. So, he borrowed the book for show?
"Uh, he's a French philosopher, as famous as Sartre, a leading figure of existentialist thought. Back in the day, his 'Phenomenology of Perception' and Sartre's 'Being and Nothingness' were the works that most represented this line of thought."
"Oh, him! I see!" Chen Yiwen suddenly realized, then took a look at the book in his hands, and with a straight face said, "Haha, well... I always thought one shouldn't look at who the author is when reading a book. Because if you know who the author is, you'll be influenced by the author's fame, which in turn affects your interpretation of the content and ideas in the book. Don't you think?"
"Is that so? That seems quite reasonable. Maybe I should try that."
"Haha, I'm telling you, you won't be wrong to trust me!"
