Chapter 582: Happy Journey
Chapter 582: Happy Journey
Disneyland, located southeast of downtown Los Angeles, is easy to understand. It is not only the world's first Disneyland, but also the world's largest Disneyland. It not only has the traditional Disneyland, but also California Adventure, covering a total area of more than 2 million square meters.
Here, Feng Yiping finally experienced the large number of people and cars in the United States. The parking lot seemed even bigger than the park.
There was a long queue from the parking lot to the ticket office on the little train, and there was also a long queue in front of the ticket office windows. He was a little surprised. Could it be that the American people considered Election Day a holiday?
You have to know that the national referendum day of the US presidential election is the first Tuesday of November in an election year. Is today Tuesday?
If he had studied the photography of American cars, he would have understood that not only did people from California and tourists from all over the world come to this amusement park, but there were even more people from other parts of the United States.
Even Ma Ling said that it was the first time he had been here, but he had obviously done his homework. As soon as he entered the door, he took his ticket to get a fast pass and had already made up his mind about which places to go to and which rides to take.
Because it is closest to the Disney company, there seem to be a particularly large number of cartoon characters in this park. However, Feng Yiping doesn't know many of them. He just sees Ma Ling happily taking photos with those cartoons. Well, it seems that there is a fairy tale world in every adult's heart, and Disneyland is a materialisation of it.
Feng Yiping, who is obsessed with chatting, also took a few photos with Mickey Mouse, who he is most familiar with.
Although the main castle, Sleeping Beauty's Castle, was a bit of a disappointment – it was mainly much smaller than expected – it has to be said that there are really a lot of places to play in the first Disneyland.
In his other life, Feng Yiping had never played so many games in more than 30 years, mainly because he was a bit afraid of heights. He was a bit scared to ride the Ferris wheel and didn't dare to look down, and he didn't like excitement very much. He stayed away from all those rides that spun in the air.
He would like to try the slightly more comfortable merry-go-round, but by the time he had the chance to go to an amusement park, he was already too old.
But if he was going to live again, it had to be a bit different. He had to overcome his fear of heights and get used to this level of excitement in an amusement park.
The point is, today, he has already let Marling know that he can't swim. If you're also afraid of heights, what does that say to an American girl? Just for the sake of manhood, he had to go for it.
So, he rode the roller coaster for the first time and tried to keep his eyes open the whole time. After discovering that he had overcome his fear of heights, he didn't find it scary at all, but rather enjoyable.
He seemed to have grown quite fond of the feeling. He rode the roller coaster twice, once on 'Flying Over California' and once on 'California Screaming.'
After that, the pirate ship, the流星锤, the激流勇进... they had a great time, and Ma Ling was even more impressive. There was not a trace of fear in these projects, they were looking forward to them!
After playing until after two o'clock, when both of them were exhausted, they returned to the first stop, Main Street USA, and found a French restaurant for lunch.
At this time, because there were not many people, there was no need to queue, and another intention of Ma Ling's arrangement of the time was that at three o'clock, the parade would take place.
The restaurant in the scenic area has a very different atmosphere from the restaurants outside. The people dining there all have smiles on their faces, and many of them have changed into Disney costumes, especially the children.
'What do you think of our food?' Ma Ling feeds Feng Yiping a piece of garlic butter fillet mignon on a fork.
'The steak is good,' he is praising both the steak and Ma Ling.
As for Western food, for him, a grown man with a traditional Chinese stomach, it is really a bit unusual to eat it for so many days in a row.
What he would like to eat most right now is rice porridge, with some home-pickled vegetables and two fried dough sticks – even if they were fried in an oil gutter.
'Don't you want to think of an English name?' Ma Ling also took a bite of Feng Yiping's salmon.
'I don't really want to, because I don't use it much, but you can help me choose one,'
'Not very often?' That means you won't be coming to the States very often, Ma Ling thought.
'What's your sign?'
'Pisces,'
'Oh, let me see,' Ma Ling said, gently swaying her wine glass, 'Jack?'
'No, that's all over the place,' Feng Yiping said.
He didn't know that the name also had a meaning like 'God's gracious gift.'
'What about Jimmy?' Ma Ling asked again. This name, like Jack, had a similar meaning: "God's gracious gift.'
Feng Yiping had never expected such delicate thoughts from a girl, and rejected it in one go, "No, I think it's too feminine,'
'Then, Vincent?' This has the meaning of 'conquest.'
'Seems to be okay, so I'll be called Feng Vincent?'
Yes, you're here to conquer!
When the dessert came, Ma Ling put down the French crème br?lée she had ordered after just a few bites. She needed to go to the bathroom, and when she got up, she gave a gentle kick under the table to Feng Yiping, who was eating a madeleine, and gave a glance in the direction of the bathroom.
What did that mean? The innocent Feng Yiping blinked his not-so-big eyes, not quite understanding.
As Ma Ling walked away with her bag, Feng Yiping suddenly remembered a scene from an American movie.
I'm coming! He wiped his mouth, looked at the diners in the restaurant and the few busy waitresses, and followed after them.
Ma Ling didn't know why she had such a bold idea. In fact, since yesterday, she had felt a little abnormal. She had just made one phone call and immediately flew over.
She had only heard her roommate mention something like this once before. She never thought she would act like this herself, or take the initiative, but it was probably because she had heard Feng Yiping say just now that he would rarely come to the United States in the future.
From now on, she would be on one side of the world and he on the other, she at dusk and he at dawn.
A little excited and looking forward to it, Feng Yiping looked behind him warily. There was no one there. He knocked gently on the door of the ladies' washroom. The door opened and Ma Ling flashed into a cubicle, waving at him flirtatiously.
At that moment, Feng Yiping felt like a flying man possessed, and he jumped in a few steps.
Seeing his anxious expression, Ma Ling laughed, and mischievously stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.
Damn, this is tempting to death! Good, Ma Ling immediately locked her lips, which tasted very rich, with a garlic flavour from the garlic steak she had just eaten, as well as a wine flavour and a sweet flavour.
His hands were also busy, skillfully disarming her, while Ma Ling also unfastened his belt.
Just at this critical moment, the bathroom door was opened, and the two inexperienced people were too scared to do anything else.
However, the person who came in obviously did not notice the commotion in the cubicle, and was just chatting about their experiences at the amusement park. Seeing that everything was fine, Ma Ling gave a shushing hand signal and gently put her arm around Feng Yiping.
She's telling me to carry on, right? Feng Yiping took his hand out and gave an American military salute. Ma Ling wanted to laugh but dared not, holding back her laughter so hard that it was like biting Feng Yiping. However, the next moment, she had no time to care about her other feelings.
This was the most efficient one, yes, the effect was good. The two of them were in a small space, helping each other tidy up their clothes. Ma Ling kissed Feng Yiping on the cheek, and for some reason, she added, 'This is the first time I've tried something like this,'
Feng Yiping smiled and added, 'This is our first time,'
It was a close call. Feng Yiping had just escaped from the ladies' room under Ma Ling's care when a large group of people burst into the restaurant. It was time for the parade.
They arrived at their table hand in hand. A waiter, looking at the unfinished dessert on their table and the empty table, was in a daze. Did they skip out on the bill? He turned around and saw the two of them. Oh, they were still here.
He looked at the hands the two of them were holding and gave Feng Yiping a knowing look.
I'll be damned, don't you Americans like to play around like this?
The two of them sat down as if nothing had happened, still holding hands as they ate their desserts. Ma Ling could see the affection in their eyes, which was even sweeter than the desserts in front of them.
