Chapter 13 From an Angel (Begging for a monthly pass!) Harley-Davidson motorcycles are driving on Fifth Avenue, the widest avenue in Manhattan.

It was already late at night, and there were very few vehicles on the road, but the surrounding buildings were still brightly lit. It seemed that, as the capital of the world, Manhattan had quite a rich nightlife. Lin Xian exhaled a breath, and it turned into a light white mist in an instant.

The cold wave this time is indeed fierce, the temperature has dropped a lot, and it may really snow. ".n

Lin Xian turned around on his motorcycle, looking at the wind in Manhattan on the roadside.

The scenery is dizzying:

"Is there any place you particularly want to go?" "Yes!"

Raise your head and look at the highest point of Manhattan in the distance, no matter where you are in the city

The skyline that can be seen from anywhere and the tallest man-made building on earth.

【Empire Building】"Empire Building."

Said softly:

"That's the highest point in Manhattan. You can have a panoramic view of the entire Manhattan. I want to see it. I want to take a complete look at what the center of the world is like." "No problem."

Lin Xian smiled like Aladdin's magic lamp after receiving instructions: "Let's go now." He turned off the accelerator.

Continue along Fifth Avenue.

Since the target is the Empire State Building, there is no need for a map or navigation at all. Just look up and see the majesty of the Empire State Building standing between heaven and earth.

Especially at night.

For flight safety reasons, there are bright lights on the top of the Empire State Building, including the top antenna that also flashes a dazzling blue light. No one will get lost in the process of looking for the Empire State Building, because it is always within sight. "But, it's so late, can we still go up?"

Holding the wedding dress flying in the night wind, she shouted in Lin Xian's ear:

"The time now...should be past midnight, right? Can the Empire State Building still let us in?" "It should be fine."

Lin Xian recalled the chats on the plane when he returned from a competition in the United States and said:

"It is said that the observation deck of the Empire State Building is open until 2 o'clock in the morning. The last elevator to the observation deck should be around 1 o'clock in the morning. So if we go there quickly, we can still buy observation tickets."

The Empire State Building has a total of 102 floors, and the elevators are also very tight, so you don't have to buy a ticket to go to the observation deck to view the scenery. You have to wait for a special observation elevator like waiting for a train.

It took half an hour.

Lin Xian's driving skills were fully developed, and he finally arrived at the Empire State Building before 1 a.m. and checked the notice board at the ticket office...

Sure enough, the tradition has not changed after so many years.

The last elevator to the observation deck was indeed 1:15 in the morning. He turned to look at the clock and calendar hanging in the lobby. October 30, 1952, 00:50. Very good, totally in time. "

He looked back and smiled:

"Fortunately, I drove fast. Sorry, I messed up your hair." "Oh, just mess it up."

A slight smile, refreshing:

"It's a mess anyway, and it's not for others to see. We can just be happy ourselves."

Lin Xian looked around.

He thought that wearing a wedding dress and going out would attract a lot of attention and responses.

It's right to take the lead.

However, it was unexpected.

In free America, perhaps everyone has long been accustomed to this level of manipulation.

Often, not many people look at me deliberately, at most they just glance at me, and then

Then he looked away, completely unmoved.

Especially now that it is already 1 o'clock in the morning, there are not many tourists, and there are only a few people in the lobby.

Lin Xianhe took the viewing ticket and walked to the elevator to wait.

The staff member was a white-haired gentleman. When he saw the outfit, he suddenly realized: "Oh! Are you here to take wedding photos at night? That's really the right place. Very few people would choose to take wedding photos on the top of the Empire State Building, but I believe it." Me, kids, this is definitely the best place to take pictures, overlooking the whole world!”

He looked at his watch and saw that the time happened to be 1:15 in the morning. He glanced at Lin Xian and smiled:

"You're so lucky, sir. There are only two of you in the last elevator tonight. For the same ticket price, you can enjoy the entire Empire State Building observation deck to yourself. You really earned it."

Ding ー ー ー ー

The elevator door opened, and the last group of viewing tourists came out.

Wait for the elevator to clear.

The staff member bowed to Lin Xianhe:

"You two, please come in. I hope you can enjoy this hard-won private time." Entering the elevator.

There was a woman in uniform who professionally operated the elevator. After saying hello to the two of them, she pressed the observation deck floor button and the elevator began to slowly accelerate upward.

This is an express elevator, very fast, at least faster than all the elevators Lin Xian has ever taken.

Be quick.

Lin Xian was a little worried and turned to look to the side.

But found

It is worthy of being an innate aerospace holy body.

In this uncomfortable feeling of acceleration and high speed, I feel like no one is doing anything wrong.

With a calm expression, she lowered her head to arrange her layers of wedding dresses.

Even though the elevator is so fast, it still takes 10 minutes to rise to the observation deck floor, which shows how tall the tallest building in the world is at this time.

When the elevator door opened again, Lin Xianhe was already several hundred meters above the ground.

null.

The elevator operator stood up and greeted the two of them:

"Sir and Madam, the observation deck has arrived. Please feel free to enjoy the scenery and pay attention to safety. The observation deck will be closed at 2 am. Please come here and take the elevator back then."

Can't wait for a long time.

She trotted out of the elevator, then walked out of the building, came to the edge of the observation deck, and looked down at everything on the ground - "Wow!"

She opened her eyes wide and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is the center of the world! It's so spectacular!"

Lin Xian walked behind her, facing the cold night wind high in the sky, and looked down. This was also the first time he stood at the highest point in Manhattan and overlooked the city. It was higher than the Aman Hotel when he was with Chu Anqing, and the view was wider. Manhattan in 1952...

It is truly luxurious and noble, full of technology and endless wealth.

A group of skyscrapers stand in front of the Empire State Building, and the mountains are small at a glance; but in the night, their lights connect into a line, weave into a network, and turn into the brightest crystal lattice on the planet.

"Is it the same as you imagined?"

Lin Xian looked down. "Exactly the same"

Breathing in the white mist, I can’t bear to look away

This is the scene she has been looking forward to for a long time, it is her biggest dream in life,

She, a helpless, fatherless and extremely poor Brooklyn girl, finally got her wish and stood on the highest point of Manhattan wearing the most beautiful white dress."

The neon lights now gradually become blurry.

That’s when the eyes become moist:

"I'm actually here. I can't believe this is reality." "This is reality."

Lin Xian stepped forward and rubbed her long hair that was messed up by the evening breeze. I remember standing on the top floor of the Aman Hotel with Chu Anqing. The same thing happened to the two of them. only.

One is summer, the other is winter-

One is in 2023 and the other is in 1952.

One is called Chu Anqing and the other is.

The same thing is…

Lin Xian is still Lin Xian, and the two girls are both in their third year of life and have the same fate.

"That's great." "

He didn't resent being touched by Lin Xian. Instead, he raised his head with a smile and looked at Lin Xian:

Thank you for fulfilling my dream. No. "

Lin Xian smiled slightly:

This is just the beginning of the price dream, and it is far from over. "

"c, we have a lot of money now, which allows you to do whatever you want; this

Tomorrow is your first night in Manhattan. We can go to more places, the best restaurants, the biggest movie theaters, the most prosperous shopping malls, and...anywhere you want to go. "

"Even like I said, you can stay in Manhattan forever and never have to go back to seedy Brooklyn."

After listening, he shook his head:

"That's enough, Lin Xian." She chuckled:

"Really, this is enough for me. You don't need to do more for me, I'm already content."

"You should keep that money and spend it yourself. After all, my dream has come true, but what about your dream? Your dream has not come true yet."

Jump off the railing of the observation deck.

Hands behind your back. He tilted his head and looked at Lin Xian:

"To be honest, I'm very curious. You said that your dream is...hope not to live up to everyone's expectations, to successfully save everything, and to become a qualified savior." "Can you tell me why?"

"It's hard for me to imagine that before today, you were just a homeless person with no clothes on and no food to eat. You didn't even have enough to eat. You were starving on the streets, but why did you have such a great dream of saving the world?"

Lin Xian took a deep breath through his nose. Breathed out slowly again.

Lower your head:

"Because, I promised a lot of people and a lot of things." "But that's not the main reason." He picked up his head:

"In the past, I was just drifting with the flow, being pushed by fate and circumstances.

A feeling of being forced to be a savior. "But it's different now. Now I'm taking the initiative. I sincerely want to save this place."

Everything, undoing the tragedy, fulfilling all my promises. ""You have also seen that I do have some abilities that ordinary people do not have, so I should take on some things that others cannot do. "

"With a high position comes a heavy responsibility. History will not blame the powerless, but it will definitely blame every incompetent emperor."

"I never became a savior because I wanted to be a savior, let alone a savior for the sake of becoming a savior." After a pause, Lin Xian continued:

"The reasons are not that complicated at all, and there is no need to consider that complicated, because

His pupils reflected the colorful fluorescence on the roof of the Empire State Building, and his eyes were firm: "[This is my responsibility and my mission.]"

Looking at Lin Xian, he was silent for a long time.

"Feel sorry."

She smiled sheepishly: "Maybe I really don't understand it very well." "It doesn't matter."

Lin Xian also smiled:

"This is also a very long journey, a very long story."

He walked forward and looked at Lin Xian's colorful pupils:

"But... I believe that you will definitely save the world as you wish and become a true

The true savior. "

She moved her hands forward, pulled up Lin Xian's fingertips, and said softly: "When we were children, the grandmother in the orphanage once told us that these girls were [every girl is an angel left in the world, and every girl is an angel left in the world. Every little angel has a wish that will come true no matter what, and there is only one wish. So, the grandmother in the welfare home asked us girls to put our hands together and make a wish sincerely. She said that this was only one chance for every girl. , as long as it is promised

Your wish will definitely come true, so you must be pious, cautious, and conscientious in making your wish. "At that time, we were all only five or six years old. We all began to pray and make devout wishes. "

Lin Xian blinked: "What about you? What wish did you make at that time? Come to Manhattan?" However...

Shaking his head:

"[I promised nothing.]"

I was the only girl who didn't make a wish, because I felt that the opportunity to make a wish, which I only had once in my life, and that the wish would definitely be fulfilled, was too precious, and I was not willing to waste it. "

"I asked the grandma, can I keep this opportunity to make a wish? I want to save it for a more important time. Grandma smiled and said yes, saying that the opportunity to make a wish can be kept at any time, and it will always be effective. "

Lin Xian chuckled:

"This does sound like words to coax a child." "Yes."

No denial:

""But what if it's true? "She raised her head:

"At least I have kept this opportunity to make a wish until now. No matter how hard and tired I have been over the years, I have never been willing to waste this opportunity.

"Even though I want to come to Manhattan day and night, I am not willing to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a wish."

"I always feel that... such a precious opportunity should be used for more important, more precious, and more meaningful things."

A faint dimple appears at the corner of the mouth.

She looked at Lin Xian with a smile and said softly:

"Now, I think it's time."

He took Lin Xian's hand and held it between the two of them.

Then he put his hands together and sandwiched Lin Xian's broad palms in the middle. Close your eyes.

Her expression became pious and serious, just like when she was praying in church, even more serious than that time. And just then...

Suddenly, a little bit of coldness fell on Lin Xian's face. He raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's snowing."

Hundreds of meters above the ground, flakes of snowflakes fell in the night wind. Standing at the highest point in Manhattan, Lin Xian was the first to touch the first falling snowflake before anyone else. "Lin Xian, I must apologize to you." He bowed his head.

In front of him, Yin still closed his eyes devoutly, like a confession, like a prayer:

"That day you took me to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade to look at Manhattan. You said you wished me to be the most beautiful princess in Manhattan; I said I wished you to be the greatest savior in the world."

"But I'm sorry. You should have really thought so at the time, but I was really joking at the time. I wasn't serious at all. I just echoed what you said casually." "But now, I don't think like that anymore. I Seriously." Snow.

The rain is heavy.

The wild night wind caused the snowflakes to gather and rotate on the edge of the observation deck, and pieced together behind c, as if they had grown a pair of white and clean wings like an angel. "God, I want to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a wish."

Like chanting a spell.

The swirling snowflakes surrounded the two of them, as if the elves were singing with her, performing a ritual that every girl only has once in her life.

"I hope Lin Xian can defeat everything, save everything, and have everything." She pressed Lin Xian's palm closer and warmed the cold:

"Become a true savior!"
