Chapter 2: Blizzard turns sunny (1)

Chapter 2: Blizzard turns sunny (1)

Boston seawater pours.

Niagara Falls frozen into ice sculptures.

Even the waves are frozen into works of art.

This is the various news they saw after they arrived at this hotel.

Fortunately, the blizzard is over and the weather is getting warmer.

"Those experts keep talking about global warming, are you kidding me?" My cousin was holding a ham and complaining by the way.

"This is the Great Lakes Effect. Geography has been taught, but you must not have studied it well," Yin Guo murmured while standing beside the toaster before he woke up, waiting for his slices of bread, "If you want to come later, just It won't be so unlucky."

Her original plan was to come in March and leave in April. But Meng Xiaotian insisted on arriving in January. He said that he needed to adapt to the environment in all aspects and seasons. In fact, he wanted to take advantage of Yin Guo's presence to enslave her as a guide and take him to New York.

Meng Xiaotian knew that he was wrong, and said with a smirk, "Help me get one too."

Yin Guo agreed.

"sister?"

"Ok?"

"Aren't you going to thank Dashuaibi?"

With a click, the slices of bread fell on the silver stainless steel tray.

Yin Guo turned the bread over with a tong and continued to bake: "I want to thank you, but I didn't know what to say."

"There's nothing to say, everyone is Chinese. I'll push his WeChat to you."

Before getting off the bus that day, Meng Xiaotian thanked him a lot, and cheekily asked for Lin Yiyang's WeChat account, which was considered a first-line connection. It is said that in the past two days, my cousin also chatted with him on WeChat, and he was very kind.

Yin Guo thought in a mess, Meng Xiaotian pushed Lin Yiyang's WeChat over.

Name: Lin.

With a click, the slices of bread fell again. Baked on both sides.

Yin Guo picked up the slice of bread, took a small box of butter and strawberry jam, and returned to the table by the window. The cousin behind her found that she forgot to bake her own bread, and called her three times to no avail, so she had to be self-reliant.

Yin Guo put the plate on the red checkered tablecloth, looked at Lin Yiyang's business card, and wanted to add a friend, but hesitated for a while, but didn't. She put down her phone, picked up her fork, and buried herself in scrambled eggs.

Thinking of that night, she was a little frightened. When the cousin and the man with glasses came back from the bathroom, they saw Lin Yiyang collecting ID cards. The man with glasses laughed and asked Yin Guo if he still wanted to read the information page of the household registration book? Anyway, it was broad daylight in China at that time, so there was a chance for Lin Yiyang's family to take pictures for her.

So embarrassing.

After Meng Xiaotian took the food, he returned to Yin Guo and saw that she was holding a mobile phone hesitantly, so he grabbed it and added Lin Yiyang's Wechat to himself: "What are you afraid of? There are more handsome men than people. OK."

As soon as the application is passed through a friend, the other party accepts it.

"Passed." Meng Xiaotian showed her the screen and sent a smile by the way.

Yin Guo grabbed the phone back.

Looking at Meng Xiaotian's expression on the screen, he knew that he had to say hello.

Holding her phone, she said carefully: Hello, I'm Yin Guo, the Chinese who was at the REDFISH bar that day were the two brothers and sisters who helped you, and I'm that sister.

When I sent it out, I felt that my self-introduction was too long-winded and wanted to withdraw it.

Not yet, the other party has replied.

Lin: I know.

So concise.

Xiaoguo: Thank you for your help that day, so we can get to the hotel smoothly. If you are free, my brother and I will invite you to a meal to express our thanks. Can you think of it?

Lin: Are you not afraid of being deceived?

Xiaoguo: ...I just arrived in New York that day, and I met Blizzard again, and I was in a rut. Sorry for misunderstanding your kindness.

Lin: Good to say.

Xiaoguo: Are you still in Manhattan? We can go over.

Lin: I'm at the train station and I'm going back to DC.

Back to Washington?

"What did you say?" Meng Xiaotian asked.

"He said he was going back to school."

Meng Xiaotian chewed the bread: "Then let's go too, just for fun."

Yin Guo said "Huh?"

"Go find him to play, anyway, I have nothing to do every day."

"I didn't prepare in advance. Tickets and hotels must be booked in advance," Yin Guo begged for mercy, "Don't worry about it, let's play in New York first. Don't rush to eat today."

Besides, there is no one who is chasing people for dinner, or chasing them from New York to Washington, and listening to it is perverted.

Meng Xiaotian saw that Yin Guo was not happy and did not argue any more.

He solved the slices of bread and went to get a plate of food.

Although this hotel has a restaurant and a bar, the waiters will disappear after the meal. The blizzard didn't stop two days ago, they didn't want to go out, they wanted to settle lunch in the hotel, but they searched around, not to mention the chef, they didn't even see a waiter. In the end, the two were so hungry that they asked the front desk where they could eat. The American chick enthusiastically told them that the restaurant staff would not come back to work until 5:30. The two had no choice but to search for vending machines on several floors of the hotel, trying to find a little food, but found that all the vending machines only sold drinks. In the end, the two returned without success, chatting and drinking water in the room, drinking water, drinking water, drinking water, and surfing the Internet. After several hours, they finally ate steak.

After that hunger, Meng Xiaotian learned to be smart, as long as he could eat breakfast, he would eat until he died. Going out, absolutely, absolutely can not miss any opportunity to eat.

The conversation between the two about Washington ended in the breakfast room.

Later, Meng Xiaotian didn't mention it again, and Yin Guo didn't take it seriously. She went back to her room to rest for half an hour, found the address of a nearby supermarket, and pulled Meng Xiaotian, who had been chatting on WeChat, to go out to buy daily necessities. They plan to live in New York for 3-4 months this time. Yin Guo did not bring any large daily necessities, and planned to buy them locally.

As soon as she entered the supermarket, she went to the daily necessities shelf, while Meng Xiaotian went to the food area.

According to the sign, she was the first to go to the shampoo and body wash area, and quickly settled on the big bottle on the top layer. It happened that the two of them could use it for about three months, and it took half a day to take a footstep and grab a bottle.

"What to buy?" Meng Xiaotian came around.

"Shampoo," Yin Guo went to find the body wash again, "don't follow me, I have to buy a lot of things."

There were also some that Meng Xiaotian couldn't watch.

The person behind him stretched out his hand, went over the top of Yin Guo's head, and took away the shampoo in her hand: "Let's go first, come back and buy it later."

The shampoo was put back in place.

"I just took it down," and came down from such a high place, "give it to me quickly."

Meng Xiaotian pulled up Yin Guo involuntarily and walked out: "I just bought a ticket, and I'm very busy. Hurry up and pack my things, or it will be too late."

"You bought the ticket? How did you buy it? Where did you buy it?" Yin Guo was stunned. Didn't the two of them go to the supermarket together? I haven't separated before entering the supermarket. When did I buy the ticket?

He shook his mobile phone in front of Yin Guo, showing the e-ticket to Washington: "Da Shuai taught me. I told him that you are a waste, and you can't even buy a train ticket. He recommended it. Give me an app."

Meng Xiaotian groaned, feeling that he could even get a train ticket, and he was growing rapidly.

Yin Guo was shocked at Meng Xiaotian's big idea, snatched his mobile phone, and looked at their chat records. More than choreographing his own stupidity, he even explained his family background to Lin Yiyang. Meng Xiaotian fully opened the smart mode in WeChat, and explained to Lin Yiyang: I applied for the university here, I came to adapt to life in advance, and visited a few more famous schools by the way. If I don't apply this year, I will continue next year. And Yin Guo was entrusted by his family to take care of his cousin because he came here last year, and became his exclusive companion.

In the chat log, the man didn't reply much.

The last sentence ended three minutes ago.

Lin: There is ShakeShack at DC train station. If you are here for the first time, give it a try.

"What is this?" Meng Xiaotian asked her from behind.

"Burger shop."

"People are more reliable than you, so you don't tell me."

"Didn't we just arrive?" Yin Guo felt aggrieved, "There are also in New York. If you want to eat, I will take you there."

Meng Xiaocai ignored Yin Guo's explanation and dragged her back to the hotel immediately.

He was inexperienced, and the ticket was booked two hours later. The two were completely unprepared and had no time to pack their luggage. They grabbed two pieces of clothes and a wash bag and stuffed them into their backpacks. They took their IDs, credit cards, and mobile phones, and ran off to the train station.

In the taxi, Yin Guo buried his head in picking the hotel.

When she got to the train station, she concentrated on booking the hotel. All the way, I was on the phone with the staff, selected a room, and reported a credit card to make a reservation. Meng Xiaotian grabbed her backpack with one hand, walked through the crowd, followed in the pit queue, and led Yin Guo forward.

Swipe your ticket, enter the station.

The two of them got into the car as if they were fighting, and most of the passengers in the car were already seated.

"Find a seat next to you."

Yin Guo saw that there was no hope for this carriage. All the double seats were occupied by one of them, so he could only go to the next carriage. After passing through two carriages, she saw an empty seat for two, put her small backpack under her feet, and sat down by the window.

Meng Xiaotian threw the big backpack on the luggage rack and sat outside Yin Guo: "You said, this train will not increase its speed. From New York to Washington, our high-speed train runs in an hour. When you buy a ticket, tell me. It took me more than three hours, and I was shocked. The fare of the high-speed rail and the speed of the green car are absolutely incredible."

Meng Xiaotian muttered beside him.

Yin Guo refused to speak. She still doesn't understand now, how she was urged by Meng Xiaotian to get on the train, obviously just want to go to the supermarket, buy shampoo and daily necessities, and go to Washington for no reason?

Yin Guo looked at the platform outside the car window, and after a few seconds, a very important thing popped up in his mind—

It seems that the car money was not given to him that day?

***

Before the train left, Lin Yiyang got on the train.

He was too lazy to go back, so he picked a seat and sat down next to a black mother holding her one-year-old child. The child was crying, and the mother was at a loss, so she could only pat the child in distress and kept saying "sorry".

In the soothing voice of the young mother, he took off his winter clothes, stuffed the clothes into a ball on the luggage rack above his head, and tucked his sports bag into it. He didn't sleep last night, and as soon as he sat down, he raised his hat to block the light from the car window.

"Do me a favor, please?" the black mother's voice asked him.

Lin Yiyang was so sleepy that he thought it was a hallucination.

The black mother asked again in embarrassment. He woke up from a semi-dream state, pulled down his hat, rubbed his hands on his face twice, fully awake, and said in a low voice, "Sorry."

So, for the long ten minutes after the train left the platform, he was helping the young mother with the backpack, taking out the milk bottle, pouring the milk powder...

When the family no longer needed help, Lin Yiyang couldn't fall asleep either. He had a headache and was sleepy, and his eyes were stagnant while the baby was drinking milk. A vibration in his pocket woke him up.

It's a WeChat message.

He took out his phone from his trouser pocket, opened it, and saw 2 new messages.

The first one comes from "It doesn't matter": Did you get in the car? I'll come to you at the next stop.

The second one is from "RedFish", which is the name Lin Yiyang remarked to Yin Guo, and it is the bar where the two met that day.

She sent herself a transfer:

Thank you so much for your help that day and hope I'll have a chance to repay you. But before paying back, I hope you take the car and drink money for that day. [smiley]
