During the Snowstorm - Chapter 3

Not long after the car drove, Meng Xiaotian had already covered his face with his coat and fell asleep.

The ticket inspector walked from the last car to this one and started to check the tickets one by one. Yin Guo took the mobile phone from Meng Xiaotian’s palm, found the electronic ticket, asked the ticket inspector to check the ticket, and stuffed his cousin’s mobile phone back.

She sat up straight.

Lin Yiyang happened to also reply to WeChat—

Lin: You’re welcome.

Four words, very short. Transfers were also rejected.

Yin Guo didn’t have Meng Xiaotian’s familiar temperament, stared at the phone for a long time, put it aside, and thought to herself, let’s talk about it when we meet. Not long after, the car stopped at a small station, and there were only a few passengers on the platform outside the window waiting to get on the train. Yin Guo looked at the carriages all around. There were not many people in the carriage. Two more people went down this station, and there were less than ten people in the carriage.

It’s okay to go to the bathroom, she pushed her cousin to wake up: “I’m going to the bathroom.”

Meng Xiaotian agreed in confusion.

Yin Guo carried his bag on his body, Meng Xiaotian’s backpack was enough, and it was stuffed under his legs.

Within two minutes of Yin Guo’s departure, a Chinese man walked here from the rear carriage. He was the man with glasses that day.

Just got in the car.

Because Meng Xiaotian’s face was covered with clothes, the man with glasses had no chance to recognize him, so he walked past the car, followed the instructions on the phone, walked forward, crossed two cars, and saw Lin Yiyang’s luggage bag.

Looking at the window again, it was him.

The black woman next to Lin Yiyang just got off the station holding the child, and the seat beside him was vacant.

“Fortunately, I caught up,” Wu Wei pushed Lin Yiyang and told him to go to the window, while he sat outside, unbuttoned his winter clothes, and panted, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up with you.”

Lin Yiyang knew what he was here for, so he didn’t speak.

Wu Wei said, “Everyone is going to arrive, but if you run away, what’s the matter?”

Lin Yiyang pulled up the neckline of his sportswear, covering most of his face, trying to avoid the rhetoric.

Wu Wei tried to pull his clothes.

Lin Yiyang closed his eyes, put his head on the window glass, and said in a low voice, “I invited the children to drink that day. I ran out of money, and I don’t have the money to buy a ticket.”

“I’m out,” Wu Wei took out his wallet and opened it to show him, “Look, how much is left, we spend it together, and we will live and die together.”

After Wu Wei shook him a dozen times, he had no choice but to sit up straight and glanced at Wu Wei’s wallet.

Two poor ghosts, half a catty and eighty taels.

…

The train arrived in Washington D.C. before dark.

The school was also suspended for two days because of the Blizzard shutdown, and it just returned to normal yesterday.

Meng Xiaotian had been looking for the hamburger chain that Lin Yiyang mentioned since he got off the train. He walked all the way to the exit, and finally saw the striking sign, which was next to Starbucks. Now that I see it, I must satisfy my cousin’s wish to buy and eat. Yin Guo calculated the time, there was no big problem, and took Meng Xiaotian into the burger shop.

After a while, Wu Wei pulled the strap of Lin Yiyang’s sports bag and walked here: “Quick, take the bus.”

Lin Yiyang was dragged forward.

Wu Wei didn’t have enough money to buy a train ticket. He just tried his best to buy two discounted bus tickets. He has been whispering in Lin Yiyang’s ear since an hour ago, and he bought a bus ticket with all his fortune. If Lin Yiyang doesn’t go back to New York with him, he is not a brother, he is unkind, and he is ruthless…

Lin Yiyang listened to the four-character idiom for an hour.

Having known each other for many years, he knew that Wu Wei had all the attributes of a dog skin plaster, and he was very tough. There is no way to escape today, and I will definitely go back to New York.

Lin Yiyang, who was hungry, stood still, looked around, and saw a burger shop.

He was thinking about whether to eat something first.

Forget it, I’ll see on the bus ride to see if I can buy a pizza, maybe a dollar a dollar if I’m lucky.

“Is there anything in the bag to eat?” he asked.

“Yes, of course there is.”

Wu Wei opened his backpack, dug for a long time, found 1/3 of the chocolate, and stuffed it into Lin Yiyang.

The chocolate was wrapped in foil, crumpled and twisted into a ball.

He took off the tin foil and took a bite. If it wasn’t for Wu Wei, he wouldn’t be able to keep his mouth shut. He clenched the tin foil into a ball, threw it into the trash can, and followed Wu Wei out of the train station.

After two minutes.

At the door of the burger shop, Meng Xiaotian came out with a hamburger, Yin Guo bowed his head and asked for a car.

“What do we invite him to eat? Have you ever eaten something delicious in Washington?” Meng Xiaotian asked.

“It’s all average,” Yin Guo said. “This is not a city famous for its delicious food. If you want to eat good food, it’s more like New York.”

Meng Xiaotian didn’t ask why, he took out his mobile phone and decided to ask Lin Yiyang’s opinion.

Anyway, I’m going to invite him to dinner, let him choose.

“Bad.”

“What’s wrong?”

Meng Xiaotian showed Yin Guo the chat record.

Tiantian: My sister and I are also at dc. Let’s have dinner tonight, Brother Lin.

Lin: Good fun, I’m back in New York.

? ?

Yin Guo and Meng Xiaotian looked at each other for two seconds.

Yin Guo looked down at Uber, the car was coming soon.

Yin Guo was helpless.

“Where to go?” Meng Xiaotian was completely lost.

“Go to the hotel,” Yin Guo looked outside, the weather in Washington was better than New York, “It’s all booked anyway, let’s have fun.”

Holding her breath, she couldn’t hold back, and kicked Meng Xiaotian: “It’s a waste.”

Meng Xiaotian knew that he was wrong, and begged for mercy.

The siblings looked at each other, didn’t hold back, they all laughed. What an amazing trip to Washington.

“Give you five minutes, hurry up and take pictures,” Yin Guo pointed around.

She knew that people who came to travel for the first time liked to take pictures, so she took the initiative to avoid it and eat her own burger. “

Yin Guo said “um” and saw that the trash can was actually behind her, and she was blind for some reason just now. She balled up the hamburger wrapper, threw it in the trash, and left the train station with her cousin.

Before leaving the station, Meng Xiaotian took a photo of the burger shop. As soon as he got on the bus, he happily posted a circle of friends.

Tian Tian: One of the most handsome men I have ever seen in my life is recommended. [Heart]

Yin Guo liked to contradict him, got used to it, and refuted it below as usual.

Xiaoguo: [Pictures his mouth] Not very handsome, deceiving the public.

Zheng Yi replied to Xiaoguo: Do ​​you have any photos? I’ve been listening to your brother for the past two days, I haven’t seen anyone, and my heart is itching.

Reply to Zheng Yi every day: Of course I won’t lie to you, if I am a woman, I will definitely take a fancy to it.

Xiaoguo replied to Zheng Yi: In general, ordinary people, my brother is exaggerating.

Reply to Xiaoguo every day: Can you seek truth from facts?

Zheng Yi replied to Xiaoguo: Yes, seek truth from facts, and don’t allow personal emotions.

Xiaoguo replied Tiantian: Well, I admit, it’s not bad.

Meng Xiaotian was sitting in the front row. Seeing Yin Guo admit defeat, he turned around and winked at her.

Yin Guo grimaced and pointed out the car window, which meant: take a photo.

Museums and municipal buildings began to appear regularly on the side of the road. The driver of the reservation car was a middle-aged white woman. When she saw Meng Xiaotian holding up her mobile phone, she specially slowed down and enthusiastically told him the name of each building. Bring suitcases, guess they are not here for tourism, and ask if they are here to study.

After going back and forth, he chatted with the driver. From the architecture to the University of Washington, the first thing the driver mentioned was Georgetown. He unabashedly lamented that the school was expensive, and the foreign students who came were rich people.

“Did you hear? What the driver said?” Meng Xiaotian asked in a low voice.

Yin Guo nodded. She remembered that the first year Zheng Yi came here, including tuition, room and board, ski vacations, etc., it really cost a lot in one year. However, the lady was used to being extravagant, so she couldn’t set standards.

She was thinking of Zheng Yi, but Meng Xiaotian was thinking of Lin Yiyang, and came to a conclusion: Brother Lin is a rich man.

It took twenty minutes to drive them to the hotel.

As soon as she entered, she went to the front desk, anxious to confirm the room, handed the passports and credit cards of the two to the front desk staff, communicated the reservation situation, and waited for the other party to handle the check-in procedures.

Look at the circle of friends again, prompt, there is a new reply.

I opened it, and it was under that burger photo—

Lin: There is an OLDEBBITTGRILL near the White House, it’s not bad, try it.

…

Bad, completely forgot, he can see Meng Xiaotian’s circle of friends.

Apart from Zheng Yi’s reply, he could see everything that he and his cousin said, not a bad sentence, he saw everything.

Too oolong.

It was equivalent to discussing his appearance in front of Lin Yiyang, which was more embarrassing than checking his ID card that night.

She read her message several times, too embarrassed to know what to do.

How did you forget it?

Meng Xiaotian saw that she had been looking at the picture of the hamburger, and then realized Lin Yiyang’s message, and couldn’t help laughing: “Fortunately, you told the truth at the end, otherwise it would be even worse.”

Yin Guo was so angry that he hit Meng Xiaotian with his elbow.

The front desk of the hotel went through the formalities and put the passport, key card and signature in front of Yin Guo.

Yin Guo picked up the pen, still thinking about those few messages, signed his name, and thought about those few messages.

delete it? Everyone saw it. Don’t delete it, it’s dazzling to stay there.

“How is this restaurant? Have you ever eaten?” the cousin asked her.

Yin Guo was full of worries, but he didn’t hear it.

Meng Xiaotian turned to ask the staff who checked in for them, is this restaurant far away? Is it worth going?

When the brunette heard the name of the restaurant, she immediately expressed her recommendation. The century-old restaurant is close to the White House, and many congressmen often go to eat, so many people go there because of it. Best of all, they can walk past the hotel, very close.

Meng Xiaotian was heartbroken: “Let me check the phone and book a seat?”

“Let’s go tomorrow, I’m too lazy to move.” Yin Guo was still immersed in the message accident and lacked interest.

She returned the signature to the staff member, took back her passport and credit card, and looked down at the room number on the door card.

Meng Xiaotian was beside him, and seemed to be chatting with someone. When he got into the elevator, he suddenly smiled at her and said, “Big Shuai told me that I’m sorry to make our trip in vain. He invited him for this meal.”
