Chapter 95: Taking the Wrong Bus, Going the Right Road

Li Yan, who was full of passion for training, missed his roommates' basketball training class the next day because Lin Zhiyuan urged him on QQ to go out and relax.

"Do you want to relax too?" Li Yan's hands were faster than his brain last night, and he sent this message in an instant.

“Golden Golden Egg Master” replied: “What do you mean?”

"Why did you change your name again? Weren't you called the Green-haired Water Monster before?"

“Later I found that the homophony didn’t sound good, so I found a more positive and noble color. [Laughs]”

"What is Egg Master?"

"You don't even know what my favorite food is. I feel wronged [wronged]"

"...Where are you going to relax?"

"I'm sad [sad]"

"What time is it?"

"I'm very sad [tears]"

"..."

"I am very sad [crying]"

"You just want to use all the sad emojis."

"Gather at the school gate at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to go to the New Taipei Museum of Art."

Li Yan changed into her sports suit for playing basketball and had just greeted Lin Zhiyuan when she was told that she might as well be wearing the school uniform of New Taipei No. 1 High School.

"Badminton uniforms are still too sexy, really not suitable to wear out."

"Is white and black too sexy?"

"Forget it. I won't force you to wear New Taipei First High School's clothes." The fat boy was wearing a casual white T-shirt and denim shorts, with his hands in his pockets, like a little adult.

"We're going to take the bus, right?"

"Yes, it's right in front, the yellow car, the express bus."

Li Yan seldom takes the bus in Lincheng. Strictly speaking, he seldom goes out.

So his sense of direction is very poor, and his familiarity with public transportation is... you can describe him as a novice. If even "knowing the way" is considered a skill, his progress bar might not even reach 10%.

It’s not a problem of memory, but that I simply don’t know how to remember and I don’t have the relevant thinking habits.

Mom and Dad, this is the result of locking me up in the room.

The traffic planning and road construction in New Taipei City are very different from those in Lin City. The ubiquitous overpasses, dense traffic lights, and huge bus stops with guardrails and gates...all of these make Li Yan very excited.

He loves anything that can give him new insights.

"The express bus has its own special route, but the distance between the stops is relatively long, so you always need to transfer if you want to reach your destination accurately." The fat man explained.

"The road was smooth," Li Yan stared at the scenery outside the window in a trance. Even today, he still worried that he was in a sweet dream. "Zhiyuan, pinch me."

"Wow, what's this?" Having said that, how can we let go of someone who is asking for trouble?
The fat boy rubbed his thumb and index finger together, causing Li Yan to scream in pain.

"I've never heard of such a request in my life." Lin Zhiyuan laughed.

The two talked about the monthly exam again. Xiaopang ignored his own results and expressed great confidence in Li Yan's ability to take first place in the class.

Before we knew it, we arrived at our destination.

"Let me see... We still have to walk a little further. Turn over the intersection over there and there's a B142 bus. Let's take that bus."

Lin Zhiyuan looked around, looking for road signs and reading the memo, and even asked a passerby a few times. Finally, he took a firm step forward and walked forward with Li Yan.

"The new urban area is different." Li Yan has also been looking around, staring at those brand new glass buildings, unable to take his eyes away.

"Xinqiao District, most of my dad's business partners are here." Lin Zhiyuan said with some pride, "It is the latest and fastest-growing area in the old city, and it is the most prosperous."

Ahead is a wide and broad road to heaven.

Li Yan looked at the bus stop in the distance and suddenly asked, "Is there a subway near the New Taipei Museum of Art?"

The little fat man pondered for a while and said, "Hey, it seems that there is. How about it, Mr. Yan, do you want to take the subway?"

Even though the fat boy was giving science lectures along the way, he was actually not familiar with New Taipei City and had never taken the subway.

He followed Li Yan's gaze and saw a staircase leading down not far away.

The two of them exchanged glances, both conveying the same message: give it a try.

While walking down the stairs, Li Yan wondered, "This subway looks too simple..."

There were no lights or advanced equipment in front, only some concrete walls.

The fat guy also looked around, and then said confidently, "The New Taipei subway is divided into several phases. This phase should be the earliest batch. Maybe the equipment has not been upgraded yet."

Li Yan nodded in approval. There was another old man beside them, walking slowly up the stairs, glancing at them from time to time, but not saying anything.

When they reached the bottom, there was only a sign to turn right. The two people continued to walk forward in confusion. As they walked, the road ahead became brighter again, but it was due to the skylight.

Li Yan was stunned. There were stairs leading up ahead. At this moment, he suddenly realized, "Fatty, this is a pedestrian walkway, an underground pedestrian walkway!"

The two men then realized what the old man meant by looking at them. The old man walked over from behind them with a smile, still without saying a word.

Li Yan's face suddenly became hot, and the fat man felt a little embarrassed. The two of them were awkward for a while, but still walked back to the ground with laughter.

"It was a misunderstanding, but it was an interesting experience." Li Yan smiled. When the fat man saw Li Yan's state, he felt no pressure. As soon as they walked out of the underground pedestrian passage, they saw a breakfast stall selling steaming buns and milk.

Li Yan was still choosing the drinks she wanted. Her hand had just stopped on a yogurt when she heard the fat boy suddenly shouting that the car was coming, then he grabbed Li Yan's hand and started running to the side.

Li Yan almost didn't have time to pay. While running towards the car with Xiaopang, he repeatedly confirmed, "Is it B142?" Only after they got on the car did Xiaopang nod.

The bus was empty, and the two found a seat to sit down. Li Yan was still puzzled, "We didn't walk very far in the underground passage, how come the bus that was so far away suddenly felt so close to us?"

The little fat man pretended to be profound, shook his head and said: "People will lose their accurate senses in the dark environment underground."

Li Yan patted his shoulder and said, "You've been talking a bit too much recently, kid. What extracurricular books are you reading?"

Lin Zhiyuan scratched his head, "Oh, how dare I pretend in front of Master Yan."

The two of them played around for a while, and the car arrived at the next stop. Li Yan looked and said, "Hey, how many stops are we from the art museum?"

"This trip should go east from Shuixing Road."

"Oh, that's 6 more stations."

"Six?" Lin Zhiyuan was puzzled. "Shouldn't it be five?"

Li Yan suddenly had a very bad premonition, and he asked nervously, "What was our last stop?"

"The Second People's Hospital."

Li Yan stood up immediately, "Fuck, Fatty, we are sitting in the wrong place!"

Lin Zhiyuan went over it again with an expression of "how is that possible" and came to the same conclusion. The two of them looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.

"What the hell is going on today? How come we got the wrong seat?"

Li Yan only had to think about it for a moment before she realized, "We walked from the left side of the underground passage to the right side, so we actually boarded a bus going in the opposite direction. No wonder the bus stop is so close."

Ding!

...There are so many things to complain about that I don't even know where to start.

"Okay then, what do we do now?"

Their discussion earned them a mysterious smile from the bus driver.

As expected, she still felt a little embarrassed. Li Yan whispered, "Will this kind of bus go in circles?"

Lin Zhiyuan slapped his head and said, "Oh, this is really my blind spot. I rarely take the bus, so it should go from the end point to the starting point."

Please forgive the two children who rarely take the bus and do not know the concept of a terminal at this time.

When people try to make up for their mistakes, they always add some weird imaginary settings, just like them now.

The two of them, who were very confident that the transportation department would use a circular route planning method, sat down safely. Lin Zhiyuan even began to fantasize about his retirement life: "When I get old, I will spend two dollars on the bus to go around in circles all over New Taipei."

"This station is the terminal, please get off."

When the ruthless broadcast sounded, Li Yan and Lin Zhiyuan were dumbfounded.

The driver probably didn't think about why these two children who were sitting in the opposite direction followed him all the way to the terminal. Anyway, he wanted to get off the bus to rest and wait for the shift change.

People always care about their reputation. Rather than having their low-level mistakes exposed, they would rather continue to make mistakes.

So Lin Zhiyuan and Li Yan got out of the car confidently.

"Today I learned a lesson with the word 'unfamiliar.'" Li Yan smiled and shook her head.

The name of the terminal is Tianhong Garden. The scenery is unexpectedly good. It is a European-style town with several exquisite European-style villas scattered around.

Between the villas are flowers of various colors and a botanical garden.

"What is this place?" Li Yan asked.

"It's Rainbow Garden."

Li Yan patted Xiao Pang's head and said, "It looks like a residential area, but it also feels a bit exaggerated."

Although there was a security booth and a fence gate, pedestrians could still come in and out, and there were a few people walking inside, so the two decided to go in and take a look.

"It should be a European-style town, a place with flower arrangements and a bourgeois vibe."

The two of them weren't really interested in the flowers. Although they looked pretty, there weren't many shops open and there wasn't much interactivity, so they walked quickly, preparing to get out from the other end in a hurry.

"Eh? It's you guys?"

A female voice suddenly called them.

It was the girl I met at Rongxi Bookstore, the girl in the yellow dress.

Today she was wearing a lilac floral dress, carrying a teddy bear backpack, and a white lace hat. She was standing in the sunny garden, holding a bunch of flowers in her hand.

The long hair fluttered in the breeze, making the picture more beautiful.

The main thing is those round eyes. Damn, they really caught Li Yan's heart.

Comrade Li Yan, you have the mind of a 24-year-old, but this is a girl in the second grade of junior high school, don't have any bad thoughts.

He muttered to himself, but still walked towards the girl.

I have no bad intentions, but it's a fate given to us by God, so there's nothing wrong with being friends.
