Stepping off the ramp of the plane and onto the concrete runway of Pudong International Airport, Tim was still limp with his feet.

Lauren hugged him, a smile on her lips. Her big husband, who had been nervously drawing a cross on his chest in the sky, whispered, "Fly so high, don't fall off," and she never knew he was so afraid ......of flying.

"Don't be afraid, my dear, we're in China. "You see, the airport is so beautiful and new," she reassured. ”

Tim glanced up, he was tall, he saw a wide range, and immediately muttered, "A lot of people......"

The airport was crowded with people, most of whom were black-haired and yellow-skinned.

"yes, it's a busy airport. Lauren agreed.

"So we're here? is Marina City?" Tim took the handle from her hand.

Lauren held a travel guide in her hand and said with a smile: "No, this is not Binhai, this is Shanghai, although the name is a bit similar, but it is not the same place." In fact, we have two options to go to Binhai from here, one is to transfer planes, and the other is to take the high-speed rail. Although I have already booked a connecting ticket, but my dear, are you okay? If you are very uncomfortable, I will refund the ticket and let's take the high-speed train instead. ”

"No, I can still hold on. Tim gritted his teeth and said, "And it's very troublesome to buy a high-speed rail ticket temporarily now, we don't understand Chinese......."

"My dear, what you said is exactly what I feared. I've been wondering, I don't know if the shopkeeper speaks English, should we hire a translator?" Lauren looked skeptical, "I left a message on Youtube for the blogger of the two videos, asking him if he knew the phone number of the pet store, if only I could make a phone call first, how much would I know what kind of person he is and whether he can speak English." Unfortunately, before we boarded the plane, the first blogger did not reply for the time being, and the second blogger said that he did not know......"

They had come to discuss cooperation with the mysterious shopkeeper, but what if they didn't understand the language? Lauren had thought about this before leaving, but it was too expensive to hire a professional business interpreter, and it was really not worth it to pay for the round-trip airfare, food and lodging. If the store manager doesn't speak English, you'll have to try to find a competent translator in Marina.

"Hi dear, don't worry. Tim gently pressed her shoulder with a giant palm, "Along the way, I saw that many Chinese could speak English proficiently, and probably the shopkeeper was no exception." ”

"I hope so. Lauren smiled and patted the back of his hand, "I'm more worried that our rash visit without an appointment will cause him unhappiness, so let's close the door." But since we're here, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of us, let's break through! Now, let's go to the waiting hall and wait for a while. ”

……

Hours later.

Marina Airport.

Tim walked out of the airport with a suitcase in one hand, and Lauren was carrying only a small bag and a travel guide in her hand, looking down at the guide at one moment and the sign at the entrance and exit of the airport the other.

"Honey, are you cold? It's so cold here. Tim shuddered. He was still wearing the same clothes as when he got on the plane in California, and suddenly came to Binhai City, which was more than ten degrees cooler than Los Angeles, and he only felt that the cold wind was blowing through the bones and the cold was refreshing.

Their luck was that it was cloudy in Marina City, and the weather forecast said that the first light snow of the year was possible. As soon as he left the terminal at Marina Airport, Tim felt that the air was humid and cold, a world away from the sunny and dry climate of Los Angeles, where a gust of wind blew as if he had no clothes on.

Lauren wears thicker clothes and a scarf, and is not as afraid of the cold as Tim, so she comforts her husband by saying, "Just be patient for a few minutes and wait for a taxi." ”

As they spoke, a taxi pulled up in front of them. Tim and Lauren stuffed their suitcases into the trunk and got into the taxi. Lauren stuffed the taxi driver with a small piece of paper with the address of the Odd Fortune pet store that she had prepared in advance.

They discussed on the plane, whether to go to the hotel to rest first after getting off the plane to reverse the jet lag, or to go straight to the pet store, or decided to go straight to the pet store, otherwise even if they rested, they would not be at ease.

The driver took the note and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Pet shop?" he asked, looking back.

He pulled Song Bai home before, and Song Bai told him in the car that it wouldn't be long before a foreign friend named him to go to Qiyuan Pet Shop, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. Fortunately, he didn't perfunctory Song Bai, after collecting the car and going home, he really asked his daughter in junior high school for some English words, and since then he has been learning English with his daughter every day. Although it was too quick to achieve much success, he managed to remember how to say "pet shop" in English.

Tim and Lauren nodded in surprise and replied in English, "Yes, yes, you speak English?

They spoke too fast, but the driver finally heard the words "Qiyuan Pet Shop" clearly, nodded with a smile, and said in English: "I know here." Let's go. ”

Tim and Lauren looked at each other and shook each other's hands, not knowing what it was like.

Lauren asked tentatively, "Is this pet shop famous in Marina City?"

When the driver heard the word "famous", it was as if he had a conversation with his daughter in English last night, and he didn't think much about it, and said, "Very famous!

The couple was even more shocked, they thought it was just an obscure pet shop, but they didn't expect it to be known to everyone!

Their hearts beat drums, such a famous pet store, maybe it already has a Ragdoll cat, but it just doesn't show its face on the video, if that's the case, then they are running for nothing.

And they originally wanted to use their own good-looking Ragdoll cats to fight for more benefits, and it seems that this wishful thinking is probably going to fail......

Taxis weave through the streets of Marina City, and Tim and Lauren, despite their uneasiness, keep taking pictures with their phones through the window. It's not easy to come to China once, even if the cooperation fails, at least have a good time and then return to China, taste the famous authentic Chinese food, and visit the historical cultural monuments, only then is the trip worthwhile.

It didn't take long for the taxi to slowly stop on the side of the road.

"Here we are. The driver turned around and said.

"Thank you. Lauren paid for the car with the renminbi she exchanged at the airport.

"I wish you all a satisfying pet. The driver said this in English, which he begged his daughter to teach him, and he remembered it by heart.

Tim and Lauren smiled bitterly in their hearts, they weren't here to buy pets, they were here to sell their own pets.

After getting out of the car, Lauren held up his phone and compared the two-story building in front of him with the video screenshots stored in his phone, making sure that this was the place.

"Honey, let's go in. Lauren took her husband's hand and clasped her fingers together, passing heat and confidence from the palm of her hand to each other.

Each of them pulled a suitcase, and like that, they walked hand in hand and walked to the door of the strange pet store together.

At this moment, the first light snow fell from the sky since the beginning of winter this year.
