chapter 026
That night, Yu Gui and the four of them went to the outside of the hostel, found a Japanese izakaya nearby, ate a bowl of ramen and some side dishes, and then went directly back to the room to rest, without going around again.
The three-hour time difference between New York and California doesn't sound long, but it's not easy to get upside down, which is equivalent to adding three hours to the day, and going to bed at ten o'clock at night is actually more than one o'clock in the morning.
Because of physical exhaustion, several people slept very deeply this night, and the next day Yu Gui woke up the earliest, opened his eyes and saw that it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning, and he slept for almost ten hours.
Seeing that the other three people were still asleep, Yu Gui got up lightly and went to the bathroom to wash up, trying not to make any big noise, and after washing up, he went back to the bed and half-lay down and picked up the pamphlets that Mak Qixian brought back yesterday and flipped through them.
After another half an hour, Li Chujin also woke up. He sat up from the bed and looked at Yu Gui, the eyes of the two silently touched in the air and then moved away, and then Li Chujin turned over and jumped directly from the top bunk.
His jumping down action was very beautiful, and the landing was very light, so Yu Gui thought that his skills could not compare to his.
However, it's just a matter of getting out of bed, is it necessary to show off such skills? Yu Gui couldn't help but complain lightly in his heart.
At this time, it was probably Li Chujin's sudden figure that made the light in front of Mai Qixian's eyes suddenly change, and he also woke up leisurely, just when he saw Li Chujin's back entering the bathroom, Mai Qixian rubbed his eyes again and looked at Yu Gui, and asked lazily: "What time is it?" ā
"Eighty-fifty-eight." Yu Gui looked at the table below and said.
"What?? Why don't you even get up at nine o'clock?! Mak Qixian wailed and put his head under the quilt again, but he woke Yan Shu up this time.
"Yu Gui," Yan Shu, who had just woken up, spoke with a little baby voice, and asked in a hoarse voice at the head of the bed, "What arrangements do we have today?" ā
"I don't know the specific arrangement, I have to ask the one who is in the quilt." Yu Gui said as he got out of bed and walked to Mai Qixian's side and pulled the quilt off his head suddenly, and Mai Qixian said again: "Why do you want to do this to me!! ā
"Get up, you're a tour guide, how can you keep tourists waiting for you." Yu Gui said jokingly.
At this time, he suddenly remembered one more thing, and he forgot to ask yesterday in a daze.
"By the way, Yan Shu, are you going to go around with us? What were your original plans for this holiday? Yu Hui turned around and looked up at Yan Shu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed staring at him.
Yan Shu still looked sleepy-eyed, and when he heard Yu Gui's question, he reacted for two seconds before replying: "I don't have a plan, I'll be fine after delivering things, but I don't want to return to New York immediately...... Can you take me with you? I'd love to join. ā
Yu Gui couldn't help but glance at Mai Qixian, and said thoughtfully: "It's not a big problem to have one more person, but there are only three people in the ticket and hotel we booked before, so I'm afraid that you won't be able to solve these problems by then." ā
"Don't worry about this!" At this time, Mai Qixian, who was still lying on the bed and standing up, suddenly came to his senses, sat up and said to Yan Shu with a gossip on his face: "Professor, we booked in advance to save money, but if you don't care about the price, there will always be tickets and rooms!" ā
"Mak Kai-yin." Yu Gui glared at him warringly.
However, Yan Shu had already taken over the words at this time, and said very happily: "The price is not a problem, I will solve the air ticket and hotel by myself, you don't have to worry about me, as long as you can take me around." ā
"That's it!" Mak Qixian snapped his fingers and smiled triumphantly: "Now it's balanced!" When three people are together, one person will always be left out in the cold, but four people can be divided into groups of two or two, and I no longer have to worry about who I should sit with every time I get on a plane or in the car. ā
"I haven't seen you struggle in the past two days." Yu Gui gave him a blank look.
Mai Qixian suddenly sighed several times, pretending to be very embarrassed and said: "Brother, you see that you really misunderstood me!" In fact, every time I abandon you, I can't bear it......"
āā¦ā¦ Can you go and put on your pants first? ā
"Gotcha!"
Mai Qixian deliberately twisted away from Yu Gui, and Yan Shu also got out of bed at this time, looking very happy because he could play with Yu Gui and them.
"Yu Gui, will I sit with you in the car after that?" Yan Shu asked again with confirmation.
Yu Gui couldn't help but ask: "Otherwise?" Do we have to sit apart? ā
"Oh, that's not necessary!" Yan Shu's two eyes suddenly bent into two slender arcs, the corners of his mouth seemed to be raised, and he said while walking backwards: "Then I'll go wash first!" ā
"Eh, wait--"
Before Yu Gui's second word "wait" was finished, he saw that Yan Shu had already put his hand on the bathroom doorknob, and at this time, Li Chujin inside was just about to come out, he twisted the door lock and pulled it in, Yan Shu planted it in and almost fell down.
"Sorry, sorry...... I forgot that there was someone in there......" Yan Shu himself had just hit his head, but he couldn't stop apologizing.
Li Chujin said "It's okay" with a strange expression, and then walked out of the bathroom with a little hesitation, and waited for Yan Shu to close the door before he whispered as if talking to himself: "Is my sense of storage so low?" ā
"Poof--" Mai Qixian directly squirted out in one breath, holding his stomach and laughing: "Xiao Jin, you are so funny!" ā
At this time, Yu Gui was still thinking about the posture when Yan Shu fell into the bathroom just now, and after a while, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.
I really don't have an eye to watch......
ā»
It was almost ten o'clock in the morning when the four of them had packed up, and Mak Qixian asked them all to skip breakfast first, and then said that he would take them to a very distinctive restaurant for dinner.
The restaurant he refers to is the famous "Cliff Cabin" in San Francisco. As the name suggests, the name was chosen because of the restaurant's location right on the edge of a cliff near the coast to the west of San Francisco.
They arrived just in time, and there was a window vacant place for the four of them to sit and have a clear view of the waves and reefs outside, and occasionally a few dolphins jumped up from the waves and plunged headlong into the water, and their movements against the spectacular waves were more beautiful than the dolphin shows seen in the zoo.
There is also a special staircase outside the restaurant that leads to the beach below, where guests who are eating or waiting in line to call can go down the stairs at any time to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Pacific Ocean up close.
Dining in such an environment is a real pleasure.
Considering that there were still many people waiting for seats in the back, they were embarrassed to eat for too long, but despite this, they stayed for about an hour and a half before reluctantly leaving.
Looking at the time, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
Although the meal is not too long, the time spent on the road is relatively long. It's almost two opposite directions to where they live, and public transportation in the U.S. is slow, and it took them two hours to get there.
The next step is to go straight to Fisherman's Wharf, which will take another two hours on the way. Fortunately, the scenery along the way in San Francisco is not bad, the small villas on the street are built in their own styles, each with its own characteristics, and the four people sit on the bus for a while and stop for a while, and they don't seem to have arrived at Fisherman's Wharf after waking up.
"Look! That turntable with a big crab on it! As soon as they got out of the car, Mak Qixian excitedly pointed out to them: "That is even a sign of Fisherman's Wharf, you must eat crabs when you come here!" I've already set my sights on a restaurant, let's go eat together in the evening! ā
Yu Gui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard him say this: "How can I hear you mean that you seem to imply that we are going to separate next?" ā
"Wit! Dude, you're so witty! Mai Qixian patted Yu Gui's shoulder hard, grinned and said: "Although it is not big here, there are still a lot of places to turn, I estimate that each of us has a different focus, and if we want to forcibly turn together, I am afraid that we will not be able to satisfy everyone!" So I made a difficult decision, we might as well go in pairs! Well, of course, I'm in a group with Xiao Jin, as for Yu Gui, you can work hard, have a good time with Professor Yan, and we'll meet again when we eat crabs at night! ā
This is to be replaced in normal times, and Li Chujin will definitely not agree to such a mention as Mak Qixian. But this time, after adding the variable of Yan Shu, Li Chujin had to change his mind. No matter how close Yan Shu's age is to them and how easy-going his personality is, as long as he thinks that he is his own professor, Li Chujin feels awkward, so he still tries to separate well.
Seeing that Mai Qixian and Li Chujin both had this attitude, Yu Gui naturally couldn't force it, and of course he couldn't deliberately leave Yan Shu and go alone, so he had to nod and agree.
"Well, we'll see you at Pier 39 at half past seven in the evening! Two and a half hours should be enough, right? Mak Qixian asked Yu Gui for advice.
Yu Gui snorted, knowing that the pier No. 39 that Mak Qixian said was the most lively wharf here, and many shops and seafood restaurants were concentrated there, no matter how they turned, they had to go there in the end.
"Okay! Let's go, see you soon, Professor! After Mai Qixian finished speaking, he happily picked up Li Chujin, but he was thrown away by others in the next second.
Yu Gui looked at the backs of these two people, and saw that Mai Qixian was still persevering and hugging him over and over again, and he was shaken off again and again, and he didn't know what to say about him.
"Return?" The voice that suddenly remembered made Yu Gui realize that there was still a person standing beside him.
He turned his head to look at Yan Shu, and asked with a sigh of relief, "How do you want to turn?" ā
"I can do it, listen to you." Yan Shu pursed his lips and said with a smile.
"I don't have any special ideas, I just want to take a walk around and see, do you have anything to build?" Yu Gui looked around and said.
Yan Shu shook his head: "I didn't build a yƬ, if you want to walk casually, I'll accompany you." ā
"......" Yu Gui once again didn't know how to answer, so he had to silently turn around and walk forward.
It just so happened that they had just passed by a small square, where countless pigeons were parked, and there were many tourists who were feeding the pigeons with fodder, so they didn't want to disturb these pigeons, so they slowed down and carefully shuttled among the pigeons, and Yan Shu followed slowly like him.
After walking a few more steps, Yu Gui suddenly felt that his pants were being pulled by something when he was about to lift his legs, and he couldn't help but look back, only to find that it was a very cute-looking foreign girl, who looked estimated to be only five or six years old.
The little girl looked at Yu Gui with her head tilted her head and her big eyes wide open, Yu Gui couldn't help but be amused by her appearance, squatted down to look at the little girl, and asked gently: "Little sister, is there anything wrong with you?" ā
When the little girl heard Yu Gui talking to her, her face turned red with a red smile, and she closed her mouth and refused to make a sound, but she took the initiative to pull one of Guo Gui's hands, and then stuffed all the things in her other hand to him, and then turned around and ran away.
"Huh?" Yu Hui wanted to stop her, and then saw that the child had run to the side of a young woman, probably her mother, and the mother and daughter looked at Yu Gui while talking.
"That little girl seems to like you very much." Yan Shu said with a smile after returning at this time.
Yu Gui couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and looked down to see that there was a handful of pigeon food in his hand, and it seemed that the little girl had given him the opportunity to feed the pigeons.
"Girls' hearts should be cherished." Yu Gui raised his head to look at Yan Shu, grabbed half of it and stretched out his hand towards him: "You also come and try?" ā
"IāI?" Yan Shu was stunned at first, and then a surprised smile appeared on his face, and he carefully took the pigeon food from Yu Gui's hand, and then squatted beside him, and stretched out his hand outward like him.
At first, Yan Shu was a little nervous when he saw the pigeons coming towards him, but seeing that Yu Gui was very familiar, he asked, "Did you feed the pigeons often before?" ā
Yu Gui smiled and nodded: "Before coming to the United States, my grandmother's family raised them, and later came to New York There were a lot of pigeons. ā
"......I see," Yan Shu muttered, in fact, he didn't know what he was talking about at this moment.
From just now, Yan Shu found that he had no way to take his eyes off Yu Gui's face, he stared at Yu Gui's side face almost in a daze, feeling as if his soul was frozen.
It's a time when the sun is setting infinitely.
The sunlight, which was no longer dazzling, slanted from behind him, plating his delicate face with a soft gold edge.
Yu Gui usually doesn't smile much, but now he looks at the pigeon pecking at his hand with gentle eyes, his eyes are smeared by the sunset to show a bright and fine smile, the corners of his lips are slightly upturned, and the whole person is as beautiful as if he came out of a painting.
Yan Shu admits that he has been completely fascinated by Yu Gui.
He was so dazed and delirious that he didn't even feel anything wrong when the next sentence came out.
Yan Shu looked at Yu Gui with such a daze, and spoke softly as if in a dream.
"Yu Gui, I like you."
