Early the next morning, Chen Fan climbed out of bed at the sound of the alarm clock. After reaching out to turn off the alarm clock on his phone, he lay on Ye Yi's body and kissed her forehead.
Then he continued to move downward slowly, kissing her high bridge of nose, slightly wet lips, and smooth neck.
Just when Chen Fan was about to continue kissing, Ye Yi, who had been woken up by Chen Fan in a daze, kicked him off the big bed: "Annoying! I slept just fine. You can restore your energy quickly. I can't." cannot!"
Standing up while holding the edge of the bed, Chen Fan pointed at Ye Yi who was lazing on the bed angrily and amusingly: "You guy, it stands to reason that we are already in this kind of relationship. You shouldn't refuse my behavior and then welcome it at the end." Can’t you stop?”
Finally opening the golden cat eyes, Ye Yi stretched out her legs with an even worse temper and wanted to kick Chen Fan: "You bad boy! You've read too many books, haven't you? You still can't stop, get out of here, get out of here, don't disturb me. Catching up on sleep!”
After being kicked by Ye Yi repeatedly and driven away from the bed in disgust, Chen Fan could only sigh and went to the bathroom. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he picked up his backpack and opened the door to the room.
Before leaving, Chen Fan reluctantly glanced into the room: "You really don't want to leave with me? If you keep lying on the bed, be careful that your abdominal muscles will be reduced to one size..."
Before he finished speaking, a pillow came towards Chen Fan's door. He was so frightened that he quickly closed the door of his room and ran away.
Accompanied by the sound of the door closing with a click, Ye Yi, who was sitting on the bed angrily, let out a long sigh and got back into bed: "Psycho, after all the tossing with you last night, it's a ghost if my abdominal muscles can disappear, okay?" ?!”
…
…
After melancholy taking the elevator to the hotel lobby, Chen Fan sat on the sofa and began to wonder how to get to the theme park.
Taking a taxi is too expensive, and there is no direct connection to the subway. Not to mention renting a car is even more expensive. I don’t have an American driver’s license, so I can just pass it.
After much deliberation, the only option was bus.
only……
Turning around and looking at the navigation on his phone, Chen Fan frowned more and more.
Why are there only bus routes and no stop signs?
As if aware of Chen Fan's confusion, the receptionist in the hotel lobby immediately stepped forward and understood immediately after seeing the bus information board on his mobile phone.
So, a gentle reminder came from Chen Fan, who was struggling with the bus stop problem: "Sir, buses in America do not stop at stops. They only stop at stops where passengers get off or board the bus. Every time There is no announcement at the station, and the way of getting off is also very different from that in Zhongyuan. When passengers need to get off, they must pull the bell on the bus in advance to notify the driver to get off."
Hearing this voice, Chen Fan subconsciously looked up, and when he saw it was the receptionist, he immediately showed an embarrassed smile: "Ah, sorry, this is my first time in America, can you please explain it to me in detail?"
The greeter smiled warmly after hearing this: "This is what I should do, sir. I think you want to go to the Mechanical God of War theme park? Then it is best to choose this route. But for passengers who are not familiar with the route, next It is very likely that you will get off at the wrong stop, but you don’t have to worry about getting off the wrong bus, because the distance between each stop is not very far. Most buses in America do not have stop signs, and most small stops have timetables posted, and only large stations have them. Stop signs. And, unlike Central Plains, American bus stop signs are electronic and can display the time and bus arrival time. However, unlike Central Plains buses, American buses have the disadvantage of being underdeveloped. , especially in small and medium-sized cities, the frequency is small and cannot be punctual. But fortunately, Newark is an international metropolis and you can take a bus to reach anywhere in the city. But as for the suburban area of Mechanical War, there are only a few bus routes .Also, the intervals between buses vary from five minutes to half an hour. Only major cities offer 24-hour bus services."
After listening to the greeter's explanation of the process, Chen Fan suddenly understood, and then asked the next question: "Then... how is the ticket price calculated?"
The smile on his face remained unchanged, and the greeter continued to introduce patiently: "Bus in America are all unmanned tickets. Generally, a ticket ranges from 50 cents to 2.5 US dollars. You can also choose to buy monthly passes and recharge cards. When taking the bus, the driver will not give change, so you need to bring your own change. If you use the bus frequently, you need to consider buying a monthly pass, which will bring you certain discounts.”
Until here, Chen Fan finally suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that the buses in America are so different from those in the Central Plains. I really learned a lot this time..."
As he said that, Chen Fan suddenly realized something, and quickly took out his wallet from the inner pocket of his clothes, opened it and rummaged through it: "By the way, I remember you have to tip in America, right? Just wait a moment... "
Unexpectedly, the receptionist still smiled and stopped Chen Fan's idea of tipping: "No, sir, the remuneration provided by our hotel is quite generous, so no one will accept tips. We would rather borrow a tip." This leaves guests with money they can spend on happier things.”
After saying this, the greeter immediately changed the subject: "So, sir, do you need any help?"
It was the first time in his life that he had experienced free services of this quality. Chen Fan scratched his head in embarrassment: "Ah, no more. You explained it really well. Thank you very much. This is the first time I have experienced something like this." High quality free service.”
The smile on his face was obviously happier, and the greeter bowed and excused himself: "Because it's free, we need to do our best. It's my pleasure to serve you. Please enjoy your visit today, sir."
Chen Fan sighed subconsciously as he watched the greeter leave to help others with their inquiries.
It will be great when the Central Plains also thinks this way.
Unfortunately, in fact, most people in the Central Plains have the mentality that just because it is free, they can only blame themselves for anything that happens. For example, if you go to a barber shop and encounter a discount that allows you to get a free haircut, but you end up with a dog-gnawed hairstyle, you can only endure it and suffer the consequences with the mentality that it is free.
However, the thinking on the American side is: just because it is free, we must do our best to leave a deep impression on customers.
Rather than saying it is a cultural difference, it is better to say that they are really smart. Once you experience this kind of free thing, you can truly realize how excellent other things are, and thus subconsciously identify the excellence of the other party.
After all, if the free services are so good, wouldn’t it be more trustworthy and bold to leave other matters to them?
With thoughts running through his mind, Chen Fan stood up from the sofa, straightened his short-sleeved jacket, walked out of the hotel, and then boarded the bus according to the instructions of the greeter.
…
…
"Wow! COOL!!!"
Looking at the iron-gray robot passing in front of him with bright eyes, Chen Fan, who successfully arrived at the Mechanical God of War theme amusement park, pulled up his hood and happily followed the robot team in the parade.
"I didn't expect to be able to perfectly restore the ten-meter-tall appearance in the original work. Is it really worthy of America, which is famous for its advanced technology?" Feeling the earth-shaking sensation brought by every move of the giant robot, Chen Fan saw more than just stars in his eyes. , the love is almost coming out.
However, because he was too addicted to the sensory stimulation brought by the giant robot, Chen Fan accidentally bumped into the tall back in front of him, which caused his nose to bleed.
"Fuck...this back is too hard. It hurts more than hitting a wall..." The severe pain from the bridge of his nose made Chen Fan subconsciously squat down, cover his nose with both hands to stop the bleeding, and then He reached out and wiped away a few tears that flowed from the corners of his eyes in pain.
"Ah, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
As soon as he wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, Chen Fan heard a somewhat familiar voice. He raised his head in confusion and looked up. He immediately made eye contact with the hooded man he had met at the airport.
"Huh? It's you again?" X2
As soon as the words of quite a tacit understanding were spoken, the hooded man stretched out a hand to Chen Fan who was squatting on the ground in a dumbfounded manner: "Look, I told you not to be so rash at the airport. Why did you bump into me again now?" Is your nose bleeding?”
"Ah... I can only say that this world is really small... I'm sorry, I was so absorbed in watching Magtron's one-to-one restoration of the mechanical body that I didn't notice the situation ahead... Oh, I'm sorry."
Subconsciously reaching out with his right hand to grab the palm that the hooded man offered kindly, Chen Fan stood up and suddenly realized that he had just covered his nose with both hands, resulting in some blood stains remaining on his palm.
"Huh? What's wrong?" I didn't understand why Chen Fan apologized again after he stood up. After he pointed at his blood-stained hands with a wry smile, the hooded man realized why Chen Fan apologized this time.
Just when he was about to say that there was nothing wrong with it, the hooded man glanced at Chen Fan's blood stains on his hands from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, the tip of his nose moved unconsciously, and a strange blood-red light appeared in his iron-gray eyes.
But the next moment, the hooded man shook his head vigorously. While dispersing the blood-red light in his eyes, he swallowed and suppressed his impulse as his throat rolled: "Gu, it's okay. Compared to this, your nose Are you okay? Do you want to go to the infirmary?"
"Ah, it's okay. I'm the type who heals quickly. It's just a bleeding nose. Don't worry. Don't worry." While spreading his hands to show that he has a special physique, Chen Fan looked at the hooded man up and down. After noticing the blood stains left behind when he bumped into me, a trace of guilt suddenly flashed in his eyes: "I should apologize. When I bumped into you just now, I accidentally put a nosebleed on your back. I guess it's my fault." Can you use the money to buy a new one?"
After hearing this, the hooded man immediately shook his head: "Farewell, although there are stores selling special clothes in the theme park, they are very expensive, so there is no need to waste money on them. Besides, my clothes are not It’s expensive, don’t worry about something that costs more than ten dollars.”
The more the hooded person said this, the more embarrassed Chen Fan felt: "How can this be done? More than ten dollars is still money. Besides, this is the second time we meet, so I have to make up for my rashness. ?”
Seeing Chen Fan acting like if you don't let me compensate you, I'll keep following you, the hooded man couldn't help but chuckle slightly: "Hey, you are really interesting... But that's all. Let you spend some money to teach you a long lesson. Let me see..."
Scanning a circle of restaurants around him, the hooded man finally selected a cheaper burger restaurant: "Let's just go to that restaurant. It's time to eat. You treat me to lunch, and we'll forget about it." It’s time to settle down!”
Seeing that the hooded man said so himself, Chen Fan didn't want to continue to pester him, so he nodded happily and agreed: "No problem! I'll give you as much as you want, just open your mouth and eat!"
So, Chen Fan looked at the large pile of salt and pepper fried chicken, Orleans grilled chicken, spicy chicken drumsticks, Orleans grilled chicken burgers, Angus beef burgers and ten glasses of iced Coke in front of the hooded man and was dumbfounded.
With trembling hands, he paid fifty dollars for the bill. After devouring an Angus double-decker beef burger, Chen Fan felt that his stomach was about to bulge. It was very difficult to even drink an ice coke, let alone eat more. Yes.
Because of this, Chen Fan had to seriously consider whether the person on the other side was not as calm as he appeared but was deliberately retaliating. As soon as he looked at the hooded man suspiciously, he suddenly realized that he had eaten a hamburger in a few big bites, and even more iced Coke. Just like water, drink it non-stop.
Touching his bulging belly, Chen Fan began to doubt his life.
He finally understood that the other party did not have any idea of retribution, and it was entirely his own words that caused the problem.
Seeing Chen Fan stop and silently touch his belly, the hooded man kindly handed over the large glass of iced Coke he had just drank: "What? Are you a little tired? Then drink more water."
Yes, it’s really just water to drink.
Rolling his eyes helplessly, Chen Fan waved his hand and said it didn't have to be like this: "It's okay, it's just that I'm not used to the size of your American hamburgers... At the same price, we in the Central Plains won't add so much meat."
The hooded man smiled heartily after hearing this, put down the coke and patted Chen Fan on the shoulder to prevent him from spitting out the burger he had just eaten: "Haha! That's because meat is very common here in America. When the price is low, there are naturally more ingredients. Didn’t you see that the vegetable salad needs a lot less? This is because vegetables and fruits are relatively scarce in America and the price is also expensive.”
"Oh?" Chen Fan looked at the hooded man with interest, and made a gesture: "What's the specific price? It won't be the same as a pumpkin, right?"
He picked up a handful of French fries, smeared them with black pepper sauce and ate them in two bites. The hooded man swallowed the food in his mouth while Chen Fan stared at him with his brows twitching, and then he said, "Of course it's not the same price as a pumpkin. But it’s really expensive. A watermelon that costs more than ten or twenty yuan in the Central Plains would cost about one or two hundred yuan here in the Americas.”
Chen Fan: "(ノ⊙ω⊙)ノ嚯!"
