Chapter 46 We Are a Couple
The next day, Teri and Jacob went out very early.
Ebony waited for Lloyd for half an hour.
When Lloyd finally came out, Ebony found out that Lloyd was empty-handed and didn't even wear a coat. She asked inexplicably, "Are you okay?"
The sleeves of Lloyd's white shirt were rolled up, revealing his lower arms. He explained, "The faucet in the bathroom is broken. I'll go ask someone for help."
Ebony frowned with doubt, "Why was it okay for Jacob just now?"
Lloyd said, "He used cold water."
Ebony put her hands on her hips and showed a fierce look, "Are you kidding me? That the faucet is broken means there is no hot water?"
Lloyd looked at her as if he did nothing wrong, "Yes."
"You said yes?" Ebony was so furious that she rushed in, turned on the faucet and touched the water, asking, "Isn't this good? Can't you wash your hands with cold water?"
Lloyd stood at the door of the bathroom and looked at her silently.
He frowned, and finally walked to the sink with reluctance.
Ebony gave way to him, and then saw Lloyd immediately retracted his hand as soon as he felt the cold water.
Ebony, "..."
[Hahahaha, I just burst into laughter. Lloyd doesn't use cold water!]
[Actually, Ebony is the only man in the show!]
[Ebony, you rough guy! Lloyd is exquisite, so you are not allowed to scold him!]
[Stop scolding him, please. I also like to wash my face with hot water. Isn't it winter now? Be good to him, Ebony.]
By the time Lloyd finished washing his face and hands, it had been twenty minutes later. Ebony looked at her watch and said with an irritable expression, "Hurry up."
Lloyd put on his mask silently and followed behind her.
When passing by the reception, Ebony told the worker that there was no hot water in the room. The worker politely responded that someone would come to check it later.
After leaving the hotel, they walked for a while before arriving at the bus stop. The hotel they booked was very cheap, so breakfast was not included.
When Ebony was waiting for the bus with her legs shaking, she saw Lloyd keep looking at the little boy who was eating scones next to him.
Ebony bumped him with her arm.
He turned to look at her.
Ebony took out a bag of biscuits from her bag and gave it to him.
Lloyd took it, and then saw the words "International Airlines" written on the package.
It looked like she got it on the plane yesterday.
However, under this environment, there was no choice.
So he unpacked it and ate a piece, but it was not tasty. It seemed the scone was more delicious.
He looked back at the kid's scone.
[Buy scones for him.]
[Stop giving him the gift biscuits. Ebony, please give him some scones!]
[Look at how hungry he is. Ebony, don't be so bad to him!]
After a while, the bus arrived.
Seeing there was only one seat in the bus, Ebony hesitated for a while, and said to the squeamish Lloyd, "Go and sit down."
Lloyd glanced at her and replied, "No need."
"Go." Ebony pushed him to the seat and urged, "There is someone behind, hurry up."
Lloyd finally sat down.
As soon as he sat down, a large backpack fell on his knees.
When he looked up, he saw that Ebony had put all her things on him, and she said defiantly, "What are you looking at? What's wrong? You have a seat, so shouldn't you hold the bag?"
Lloyd was silent for a while, and quietly reached out to help the bag without refusal.
[Don't bully my Lloyd, alas!]
[I didn't felt sad at all when four of them were together before, but now I've shed tears three times within half an hour since Lloyd and Ebony were together.]
[I almost forgot that Ebony is a dominatrix.]
[Just came from Teri's side. They went for breakfast, and when they were on the bus, both of them had a seat. No, the tears fell out of desperation.]
Soon Lloyd and Ebony arrived at the first attraction. Ebony stood in a queue to buy tickets.
When it was her turn, Lloyd suddenly came over and patted her shoulder.
Ebony turned her head and asked, "Why?"
Lloyd didn't reply to her, just walked past her and asked the ticketing lady, "20% off the ticket price for couples?"
Hearing his words, Ebony saw that next to the ticket window, there was a promotional picture, which seemed to say that today was the 100-year anniversary of an unearthed jade pendant and in order to commemorate that,every couple who came to the museum today could enjoy a 20% discount on the ticket price. In addition, when they left, they could also receive a small gift with the ticket.
The ticket sales lady smiled and nodded, indicating that every couple did have a 20% discount on the ticket price.
So Lloyd said without hesitation, "We are a couple."
[!!!]
[???]
[Fuck!]
Although Ebony also wanted a 20% discount, it's really a big sacrifice to pretend to be Lloyd's girlfriend.
She whispered to him, "It's still live."
Lloyd glanced at her and said solemnly, "By doing so, we can save money and will have scones for breakfast tomorrow."
Ebony, "..." Did he still want scones up to now? Wasn't a gift cookie good?
"Sir, Miss, is it a couple's ticket?" The ticket saleswoman asked.
Lloyd took the lead in saying yes before Ebony was about to say no.
The ticket saleswoman delivered the ticket to them and said, "Ten dollars."
Lloyd looked at Ebony.
Being stared at by the ticket sales lady and Lloyd, Ebony could only take out her wallet and pay for the ticket.
When entering the museum, they got a pair of weird gloves from the staff.
Ebony looked at the gloves and asked in confusion, "Why are they connected?"
The staff said with a smile, "The gloves are made in the posture of couples holding hands. If both of you wear one of them, you will naturally hold hands. When the guides see it, they will know that you bought a couple ticket. Today there is no additional charge for the explanation for couples."
Ebony, "..."
"Thank you. "Lloyd said, took the gloves and walked inside.
Ebony walked in quickly with both hands in the pockets of her coat, which was a overt indication that she did not consider wearing these weird gloves at all.
Lloyd didn't wear it, too. He just held it in his hand.
The museum was huge, with four floors in total. They visited the first floor first.
After entering a venue recording the cultural relics unearthed in Sleeldale in an important period, the guide came to them in an instant and asked if they needed an explanation.
For the sake of the program, they should listen to the explanation. After all, this was a travel variety show. It's better to spread more scenic spot culture.
However, explanations would be charged for one dollar.
If they spent one dollar for the explanation of each venue, it would cost them over ten dollars for all venues here.
So Ebony refused without any hesitation.
When they was about to leave, the guide suddenly saw the gloves in Lloyd's hand and then smiled, "If you put on the gloves, the explanation will be free. "
