Chapter 52 The Thief of Time

A vulgar saying that cannot be vulgar, the original saying is to describe a person who knows another person very well, and it has a connotation of praise.However, this sentence has added a new derogatory term in today's society, insinuating those who do not understand the situation and make random guesses about the other party.

At this time, this sentence came from a restrained girl, I believe it should be a compliment to the other party.Mao Yuan didn't expect, and was surprised that Shen Xiaoxiao could understand her thoughts so well.It can be said that her liking for this "sea turtle" Shanghai girl has increased a bit.

However, what was even more surprising was that she heard Shen Xiaoxiao ask, "Mao Yuan, why do you say that I look like a roundworm in your stomach?"

Mao Yuan smiled and stood up without saying a word, and walked to the other side, "Then what do you think I should say?"

When the two left the "85 Degrees C" dessert shop, they thought for a while and said, "I remember an American proverb: Friends are thieves of time. Translated into Chinese is: Friends are thieves of time."

"Oh, what does that mean?"

"It means that although you stole my time, I am willing to let you do it."

"I still don't quite understand."

"Mao Yuan, this is because in American values, time is a very cherished thing. Compared with people who waste time and don't keep busy, people who value time are undoubtedly more successful. "

"You mean you won't have more success now that we're friends?"

"No, more success is in front of you, and that is just a delayed material enjoyment obtained by spending time and energy."

"Hehehe...Shen Xiaoxiao, do you mean that you regard me as your spiritual enjoyment?"

"No, I believe another proverb: Norose without athorn."

On the way from Wujiang Road to Nanjing West Road, Mao Yuan took the other person's hand and asked, "Xiao Xiao, what did you mean in English just now? Tell me."

Shen Xiaoxiao just smiled, "You translate it yourself, and I will reward you for translating it."

"Little, I only remember that the word thorn is in the fourth-level vocabulary, but I forgot what it means."

"The word means thorn or thorn."

"Oh, roses with thorns."

"No, there is no rose without thorns."

"Is there any rose without thorns? Little, do you think I have thorns all over my body?"

"Well, people tend to forget the pain that the thorns on the rose bring to people because they love the fragrance and beauty of the rose."

Mao Yuan's pretty face turned red again, and she deliberately said, "Sweet words! You said that when you were shopping with other girls?"

Shen Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Uh, I forgot."

Mao Yuan pursed her lips secretly happy, and glanced at her, "Forget it, let me spare you this time."

After 4 o'clock in the afternoon, there was a ray of bright sunshine in the hazy sky.Shen Xiaoxiao felt a little hot, so she stroked the hair on her shoulders behind her ears.With this stroke, the bronze-colored ear bones clipped on the helixes of her ears on both sides are caught in the sunlight, giving people passing by a cool fashion sense.

Several young men or individual girls who passed by her side all looked back at her ear cuffs in unison.Careful Mao Yuan noticed something strange, and looked back, "Xiao Xiao, what are you wearing on your ears?"

Shen Xiaoxiao was planning whether to hire a taxi to Nanjing East Road, and opened her mouth to answer, "What did you say?"

"What do you wear around the outermost ears? It looks so cool!"

"Oh, ear cuffs."

"Ear cuffs? It looks like a kind of earring that clips on the ear."

"Yes."

Standing outside a Dongfeng Citroen car sales store on the street, Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand to stop a taxi.Mao Yuan, who was standing by the side, immediately asked, "Xiao Xiao, are you planning to take a taxi again?"

"Yes."

"There is a bus stop next to here, we can take a bus to East Nanjing Road."

"It's okay, let's go there earlier and we can go shopping for a while."

At this time, an empty taxi stopped in front of the two of them.Xiaoxiao opened the rear door, and Mao Yuan got in without saying anything.Then, Xiaoxiao got into the car and said to the driver, "Master, please go to Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street."

When the car drove onto Nanjing West Road, she glanced at Mao Yuan beside her, "Actually, when I was living and studying in the United States, I basically drove to the places I wanted to go by myself."

Mao Yuan looked back at her, "I know that every household in the United States has its own car, and they can drive wherever they want. But, I'm curious, do they have buses in their cities?"

"You mean public buses, of course there are. It's just that their private car ownership rate is very high, so their public transportation system is not as developed as our country."

"That's true. Their land area is about the same as that of China, but their population is only a little over 3 million."

"Yes, among the 3.178 million population, there are also a large number of immigrants from Europe, Mexico, Africa and Asia."

During the ensuing chat, Mao Yuan never took his eyes off the ear cuffs the other party was wearing.Driven by curiosity, he asked, "Xiao Xiao, I think your ear cuffs are so beautiful, did you buy them in the US?"

Shen Xiaoxiao's ear cuffs were of course bought in the United States, and they were bought in the boutique of the famous Belgian designer Martin Margiela on Greenwich Avenue in New York.Of course, she would not tell Mao Yuan these facts.

Turning to Mao Yuan, she said, "Yes. It's very cheap, but it looks good on you."

"Oh, it's popular for girls in America to wear ear cuffs?"

"Not exactly. This ear cuff trend has been popular since 2012, but by the summer of 13, it had swept the entire West Coast of Hollywood. By the end of 13, all kinds of visual arts, by different Ear cuffs made of material appeared in the fashion world on the east and west coasts."

"I see! Xiao Xiao, how dare you tell me that this thing is cheap?"

"I want to say I'm sorry, Mao Yuan."

"Leave you alone for now. Is this kind of thing sold in Shanghai?"

"I think there should be some for sale, probably in various brand stores on West Nanjing Road."

When the taxi stopped on the side of Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street, Xiaoxiao hastily paid the taxi fare, opened the door and got off.Mao Yuan followed closely behind and got out from the inner seat.

Before the other party could speak, Xiao Xiaopi said, "Mao Yuan, I know you have a budget. From now on, I will pay for the expenses beyond the budget, and you will pay for the expenses within the budget, okay?"

Mao Yuan smiled knowingly, "Okay, but how did I hear that Americans like the AA system?"
