Clow Cards Cardcaptor

"Say what you're saying, junior sister,..."

"Senior, has your initial question become a daily routine?"

There were only a few customers left who were still shopping. At this moment, they were busy behind the checkout counter with their backs to each other. Listening to Fangran’s familiar beginning behind him, Tang Bing rolled his eyes in no surprise, and then looked speechless. Silently complaining:

"Senior, do you think our teachers will tell us everything..."

"Cough, cough! No, it's not that series I want to ask about today..."

Wait, did I just hear the word 'series'...

Turning his head and looking expressionlessly at Fang Ran, who pretended to cough twice, Tang Bing stared at him silently and saw Fang Ran lightly scratching his cheek with the tip of his index finger, slightly ashamed as if he didn't know what to say. Opening:

"You said, if there is that kind of fugitive who has lost contact abroad without a penny, how will he solve the bathing problem..."

"ah???"

To be honest, after hearing this question, although Tang Bing guessed that the question asked by his strange senior would be very strange, but he did not expect it to be so strange, he still made a surprised and confused sound because of the other person's open brain circuit. .

"Ahem...I just suddenly remembered that it didn't seem to be taught in the movie, so I just asked, just out of curiosity."

It's definitely not like I've been wandering around for several days and wanted to take a shower or something...

Only when you break away from human comforts and truly start wandering will you discover that every little thing in your daily life is a problem.

by——Fangranzki Shuode.

In fact, even the place to stay is to roll up a blanket and hold it tightly under the debris pile on the rooftop. Fang Ran, who has been wandering for five days in "London Survival Adventure" at the beginning of this hell difficulty, has discovered too many things. Inconvenient practical problems in life,

For example, there was no pillow or a place to wash. He could still solve the problem by going to an empty public toilet with a brick and a towel and a toothbrush, but there were things like being unable to take a shower and changing clothes.

Fangran, who knew nothing about foreign cities, was really at his wits end.

Although he often stayed at home during the holidays without taking a shower for half a month, it gave Fang’s mother a headache as to why she had raised such a lazy son...

It seemed that Fangran, who was actually homeless and couldn't stand it this time, needed to urgently solve his personal hygiene problems.

Tang Bing thought hard for a while, but this time he couldn't come up with an answer with a complicated expression on his face.

"I have to say...Senior, your question touches on my knowledge blind spot..."

"By the way, aren't there such public bathrooms abroad?"

Fangran, who had never lived abroad, suddenly became curious when he noticed this problem, and noticed the national differences in this real-life issue.

"I don't know about other countries, but there should be some in the UK. After all, Rome occupied this place before. But the ones I know about are spas and massages with expensive tickets. As for whether there are affordable bathhouses like those in China? ..."

He put his index finger on his chin and said with eyes floating up as he thought. At the end of the sentence, Tang Bing felt slightly ashamed and he didn't know why. For some reason, his index fingers pointed at each other and he turned his head...

"I really hadn't thought about it before you asked me, senior, but I guess it is, because I know my family's name is Bathhouse..."

"Oh!? Where is it!?"

"Well...it's in South London, but it seems to be a place where gays like to go (feeling guilty)..."

Fangran: "..."

School girl, do you want to push me into the fire pit (lost expression)...

(?_?lll) And why do you know this kind of thing.

Not hearing the solution, Fangran lowered his voice an octave, forced a smile with a dead look in his eyes, and then changed the question and asked:

"Senior sister, do you know any place where I can buy clothes cheaply?"

"Is it cheap to buy clothes?"

As if he heard some "keyword", Tang Bing perked up like a cat's ears, and then spoke excitedly:

"Senior, do you want to go shopping for clothes!?"

"Ah... well... let's just call it that..."

"Humph! Then senior, you've asked the right person! Let me, a little expert in saving money in the dormitory and a big devil in discount shopping, tell you my secret money-saving skills abroad!"

His attitude was completely different from the previous question. As if he had bumped into his own area of ​​expertise, Fang Ran could see that Tang Bing's eyes were almost shining with pride, and he spoke endlessly as if he had opened a chat box. He talked about the major shopping guides on where, when and how to buy things at the cheapest price.

You can buy a whole Primark outfit for just over 10 pounds, Oxford Street is a must-visit when traveling, and you can seize the opportunity to grab some light luxury items in Marylebone during the two huge discounts during the summer vacation and Christmas.

Fangran was confused and his eyes were straight when he heard this...

I can’t remember a single English store name.

After listening to it for more than ten minutes, Fangran looked at Tang Bing, who probably knew how to use various discounts, looking like a 'Double Eleven Elite Warrior', and was slightly speechless with a little admiration. Complex said:

"How can I put it...Senior sister, you are really good at saving money..."

Tang Bing, who was talking excitedly, heard Fang Ran say this and covered his chest with a tired and unloved bitter smile:

"Senior, do you know why I am so thin?"

"Uh, why?"

"Because of poverty."

"Don't say such words that can make people sad."

Tang Bing, who said this seriously, brought back memories of his childhood when his family was not very wealthy. Recalling the memories of passing by toy stores and KFC every time, Fangran looked speechless at the same vicissitudes of life.

Then looking at Tang Bing, who seemed to be thin due to frugality and work-study, he couldn't help but asked with a twitching corner of his mouth:

"By the way, aren't the prices in London supermarkets quite cheap? Why do you still look like you can't afford to live, my schoolmate?"

"The prices in supermarkets are quite cheap..."

After hearing Fang Ran's speechless question, Tang Bing replied weakly and in despair, and then suddenly grabbed him and shook him wildly, shouting:

“(?≧Д≦)?But other things are expensive!!!”

Although he was shaken wildly when he was caught by her, compared with his brother's "I'll take your last name if I don't shake you to death", it was more like a coquettish level. Fangran heard that Tang Bing must have been saving money since he was a child. When he mentioned this Topic shouted as his whole body almost collapsed.

"Even if I am responsible for cooking occasionally, the monthly rent for working for Mrs. Isis will be more than 600 pounds!"

Yes, this is the answer to the question we mentioned before. Although the prices in London supermarkets are very cheap, if you study here, rent is still the biggest expense. The three options of homestay, school dormitory, and renting your own house have their own pros and cons. Whether you save money or not depends entirely on your fate and your appearance. Depending on your location in and outside London, the monthly rent ranges from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds.

And apart from the rent issue...

"And the deposit, agency, and bill are not included. Queens College is in the city center! Senior, do you know how much a month's transportation costs even if I have an Oyster card!?"

Still finding that he couldn't shake Fang Ran, he was almost exhausted to death. Tang Bing looked at Fang Ran with a reddish face, panting and looking at Fang Ran sadly and indignantly. From her words, he realized that studying abroad was not easy and life was complicated. Fang Ran found that he He really thought a little simpler and asked tentatively:

"Um...Is transportation in London expensive...?"

Then he saw Tang Bing's dejected look, as if his heart had died, and glanced at him with a depressed look, leaning to one side and replying absentmindedly:

"The one-way ticket for adults in Zones 1 to 3 without a card costs 4."

"That's not much more expensive..."

Eh...wait! Adult fare 4.9....

∑(°口°!!!)?pound! ? ! ?

It’s still a one-way fare! ?
