Chapter 40 Chewing Gum

……

It was getting brighter and brighter outside, and the passengers in the car woke up.

There was a lot of noise in the car.

People kept saying hello to Sampak loudly and walked to the bathroom.

We washed up at the hotel before getting into the car, so it's easier now.

"Mr. Sampak, how long will it take us to get to Rome?" I asked in a louder voice, half-drawing the bed curtain.

"If you don't need to continue detours, you can arrive this evening." Sampak replied enthusiastically.

"Did you hear that, I didn't expect this car to be really fast!" I turned around and said to Draco happily.

Draco had finished drinking a cup of black tea, holding a copy of "The Theory of the Dark Arts" and slowly read it, only nodded upon hearing this.

I didn't want to disturb him. I got up too early this morning, so I felt a little sleepy, so I just put on my clothes and lay down on the bed, "Draco, call me at noon, I'll sleep first."

"Tsk, I don't know where you get so sleepy..." Draco muttered, and pulled the thin blanket for me.

Even amidst the noise, I fell asleep quickly.

Because of the magic power, in the first semester of the first grade, I have been lethargic for almost half of the semester. Although the therapist checked carefully and said that there is no problem at all, compared to Draco, I can still sleep !

At noon, I woke up with a shaking.

There was a strange smell of sandwiches, canned food and other foods in the compartment.

Draco frowned tightly.

"Oh, open the car window and get some air!" I said, holding my nose.

"No, no, no, when the car accelerates like this, maybe the whole bed will fly out!" Sampak said loudly in the aisle.

He's selling the same sandwiches as in the morning again, I'm really wondering how long that thing has a shelf life!

"Nightmare!" Draco cursed under his breath.

"There's perfume in the box!" I reminded in a low voice.

Draco bent down and dragged the box out, fumbled in it for a long time, and then took out the small bag containing the toiletries.

"That light blue vial!" I said lazily, "By the way, give me a wet wipe!"

Draco spilled a few times on the bed curtain and threw a pack of wet wipes over, and the mixed smell of food in the air was washed away.

I carefully wiped my face and hands...

I barely ate half a hamburger for lunch, because I really had no appetite after sleeping all morning.

The hamburger was bought in advance at KFC, and it was placed in a food box that was kept fresh and insulated, and it was almost exactly the same when I first bought it.

Only then did I really feel how convenient it is to have a magician!

Draco also only ate two slices of toast with jam, and didn't even drink black tea.

"Two more people got into the car in the morning, and it is estimated that we will take a detour. Rome is the farthest we go!" Draco whispered.

"If we take the train, we will not only need several days, but also have to transfer several times, which is even more troublesome!" I said slowly, "Draco, to be honest, it's nothing!"

Draco snorted, but said nothing.

"How did you travel with Uncle Lucius and Aunt Narcissa?" I asked curiously.

"We used the carriage from Malfoy Manor. Malfoy Manor raised six Pegasus, didn't you know?" Draco raised his chin and said proudly.

"Oh, no wonder, then this time Uncle Lucius agreed to let us come out like this, maybe just to let you feel it!"

Draco's stinky face finally got better...

We were only in Rome at midnight.

"Walk slowly, welcome to the next ride!" Sampak seemed to be so energetic all the time.

"goodbye!"

Draco and I said goodbye to him politely.

Standing in the dark streets of Rome, the two of us looked at each other.

"What now?" Draco asked, trembling.

"Look for that kind of 24-hour convenience store first. If you are lucky, you can find a nearby hotel, otherwise you can only make do in the convenience store!" I squatted down, opened the suitcase and found a coat to put on. It’s good to add another dress, we can go to see Phyllis tomorrow!”

Draco's spirits rose, and he pulled out a Muggle jacket...

Oh, it took a lot of talking and talking to get Draco to wear ordinary people's clothes!

We were lucky, and after walking for 10 minutes, we saw the lights.

The cashier at the convenience store was dozing off little by little on top of the cashier counter.

Draco opened his mouth ready to wake people up.

"Wait a minute!" I pulled him back, and took two packs of chewing gum, "Hello, pay the bill!"

The cashier suddenly raised his head, and it took him a long time to react, "Oh, oh, yes, come here!"

When paying, I took the opportunity to ask, "Excuse me, is there a hotel or hotel near here?"

"Turn right when you go out and walk down this street. There is a nice hotel. The hotel is far away." The cashier yawned and said vaguely.

"Thank you, the hotel is very good!" I said with a smile.

During this process, Draco remained silent.

"Just wake him up, he might tell us, but it's smoother!" I tore off the chewing gum, took out a piece and handed it to Draco, "Chew one, it will feel better in your mouth!"

Draco nodded, unwrapped the gum and stuffed it into his mouth.

Following the direction pointed by the cashier, I soon saw the colorful signboard lights of the hotel.

I happily blew a bubble.

"Oh, what is that?" Draco asked in surprise.

"Chewing gum!" I replied casually.

After a long time, he suddenly reacted.

"Draco, you've never had gum, have you? Where's your gum?"

"This kind of Muggle food!" Draco raised his chin and said disdainfully.

"You swallowed it, didn't you?"

"Is there a problem?" Draco's pointed chin lifted even higher.

Of course, in my last life, when I was young, I also swallowed chewing gum several times, but nothing happened in the end...

"It should be fine, but this can't be digested..." I replied with a smile.

"You did it on purpose!" Draco's cheeks and earlobes blushed slightly.

"Oh, how do I know that there will be people who have never tasted sweets!" I said not to be outdone.

Uh, it was actually my negligence. It should have been expected long ago. Draco has almost never been in contact with the Muggle world. Even if it came out before, Lucius and Narcissa were well arranged. Laco had the opportunity to see it, so it's normal not to know about chewing gum...

"You, you idiot..." Draco yelled angrily.

"Oh, okay, okay, absolutely no problem. I swallowed it several times when I was a child. At that time, I didn't have any snacks, so I liked to buy this. I could chew it in my mouth for a long time, and it was a bit bitter in the end. Unwilling to spit it out, I just swallowed it..." I took a step back and said with a smile.
