696 The Distance Between the Dream and Reality

Seven months had passed since he'd come from China to the faraway land of Britain. Chen Jian was getting used to life in this distant country. His language proficiency progressed very quickly in an environment where English was spoken everywhere. Only his studies progressed slowly at the University of Nottingham.

It was not that he did not want to study well but that he was too tired.

In the beginning, his landlord, Fat John, was used to seeing the young Chinese man drag his exhausted body back home after training and return to his room to study English diligently once he'd had dinner. Then the next morning, he would go to Wilford if there was training or take a bus to the University of Nottingham if there was no training.
