"hey, whereare youheading,mate?" I asked where to go?

"i’mtot’vastoceanfaraway!" Cangming stopped!

175. Waiting for you to be old

Jinyu: Why are you waiting for the car here too?

Ruochen: Didn’t you learn from you? You always say that taking the bus is good, so I’ll come here to experience it specifically.

Jin Yu: How do you feel?

Ruochen: I haven't sat there yet, how can I know?

Jinyu: How long have you been waiting?

Ruochen: It’s so strange. Half an hour has passed, but one has not yet arrived. You said it’s good to take the bus, but what’s the point?

Zhenyu: You are asking for your own sake. If you have a car, why keep it?

Jinyu: How long have you been waiting?

Zhenyu: I'm less than him. It's only twenty minutes.

Ruochen: It's so anxious. If you don't come to work, you will be late.

Zhenyu: You are rare and strange. We are not surprised. It is common to wait for more than ten or twenty minutes, so I have to go out half an hour early every day.

Ruochen: It’s been half an hour since this has been coming yet? No. 7, No. 9, No. 10, No. 11, No. 23 have already driven seven or eight times. Why haven’t there been a shadow of No. 3?

Zhenyu: Are you so anxious that you turned white?

Ruochen: How can you not be anxious? I will never take the bus again next time.

Zhenyu: Although I waited for you to turn white, the scenery along the way was still beautiful.

Jin Yu: Half is the scenery of the lake and the mountains, and half is the green field. It is still intoxicating along the way, but it is not a pleasure to wait for the car.

Ruochen: Is it difficult to walk on the road and it is easy to cause vehicle damage?

Jin Yu: I'm not very clear, the road seems to be normal.

Zhenyu: Maybe there are too many traffic lights on Route 3.

Ruochen: That wouldn't be waiting for more than half an hour! I really can't figure it out.

Jin Yu: Is there a few shifts?

Zhenyu: You can increase the number of trains to avoid delaying your trip.

Ruochen: Oh, I finally waited for 35 minutes.

Zhenyu: Noon today may be an exception. It was only half an hour before.

Ruochen: I guess it will be a few minutes late. Next time I will drive to work.

Jin Yu: Come on. Who doesn’t know you, staying at school more often, going home less often, driving very few times, and taking the bus rarely.

Zhenyu: Just come, don’t worry. Make a phone call and say it, you may be a few minutes late.

Ruochen: It’s such a good student to understand. Look at my hair so white.

Jin Yu: Stop your anger and look outside the car window. The green field scenery is just right, which can calm all worries...

Zhenyu: I pulled out a piece of white hair on my head.

Ruochen: I won’t have to pay you a lot, so I will keep it as a souvenir.
