If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Early the next morning, Lin Nian woke up from the big bed in Lowell's suite.

He opened his eyes and shook his ears slightly. The beige-decorated room in the hotel was quiet. Everything maintained the same layout as yesterday. The half-drunk fruit wine drink last night was placed on the small glass table against the wall. There was a glass of fruit wine under the curtains on the side. A faint light shines on the floor. It is not dazzling, but looks a bit gray, adding a hint of darkness to the room, along with the mood of early morning.

He gently turned his body and lay on his back on the big bed, staring at the ceiling of the dim room. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, pulled off the quilt, slowly sat up and walked to the curtain in his thin black pajamas. .

Before he even opened the window, he heard the thin sound of rain outside. It was very quiet, like the sound of cotton wool squeezing each other in the pillow that he heard in his dream. He opened the curtains and saw the blue sky of the building. As expected, the stained glass curtain wall reflected New York on a rainy day. Traffic was constantly flowing on the road below the high-rise building. The sound of sirens wafting from a distance echoed in the jungle formed by this building.

He picked up the phone on the table and took a look. The current time was 7:20 in the morning. Counting the time he fell asleep, he slept for a total of eight hours, a perfect sleep time. It is worth mentioning that during those eight hours The world after I fell asleep was as dark as death. I don’t know if I was not dreaming at all or if I was dreaming of the endless black ocean.

In addition to checking the time, the lock screen also reminded him that there was a new text message. Because he did not set a password, he only read the text message on the lock screen. The name of the sender was LizaLiza?

He was stunned for a moment, not thinking about who this person was, but thinking about why he left this note. After briefly recalling it, he gradually remembered some of the things that happened last night.

They dined at the garden restaurant under the Brooklyn Bridge. The dining process was very pleasant. There was no so-called formality as imagined. The topics were very everyday, and the focus was on the past. Elizabeth's time at Eton College and the Royal Family. Some stories from when I was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts, and some interesting stories about good-looking guys and beauties being inseparable on campus.

There was no vision of slaying the dragon, and no plot. Elizabeth talked a lot about everyday things. The person who talked to her the most was not Lin Nian, who she had met several times and knew everything about, but Lin Xian, the two girls who had met for the first time. The frequency of chatting and the number of chuckles was astonishingly high, and there was always a sense that given a few more days, they could develop into best friends who talked about everything.

It seems that Lin Xian has a good relationship with Kassel College. Not only does he get along well with the older professors and tutors, but the girls who often go to the psychology department for psychological consultation also especially like to talk to Lin Xian. The conversation led to Teacher Masashi Toyama often complaining that the biggest bonus at work was being robbed, but everyone could tell that he was just joking, but he wished that Lin Xian could work at a higher level and help him share more of the burden. pressure.

After the meal under the bridge, the three of them did not disperse immediately. Instead, Lin Xian suggested driving to Chinatown. Elizabeth had never been to that kind of place, and was led everywhere by Lin Xian and Lin Nian. Shopping, eating at street stalls, and buying all kinds of weird gadgets were all hung on Elizabeth's body by Lin Xian, turning her evening dress into a post-modern art with a very spliced ​​spirit.

The most interesting thing is that Elizabeth was taken into a cheongsam shop to try on clothes. She bought a black cheongsam with gold roses and asked Lin Nian to take a few photos with his mobile phone. The photos should still be in the album and have not been deleted. When taking the photo, Lin Nian was thinking that he would have to set a password on his cell phone in the future, otherwise he would be found out by Fingel one day. According to his temperament, the hot searches on the forum that day would probably be hit.

Oh, yes, it was the mobile phone number they exchanged when taking pictures. Liza typed it in at that time. Even Lin Xian’s phone also left her number. When leaving, the girl carrying the cheongsam and large and small bags only He left a message: If you need anything, just call that number. You can get through 24 hours a day. Then he got into the silver Rolls-Royce and left.

This should be regarded as becoming a temporary friend with this young female school director?

Looking at Liza's note in the text message, Lin Nian was stunned for a while, and finally shook his head gently and threw away the idea.

Trust becomes cheap if given too much. He has suffered losses many times and it will be difficult to trust others easily in the future.

The text message on the phone from Elizabeth was at five o'clock this morning, when he was not awake yet. According to his habit, the phone was on silent when sleeping. Unless the executive department made an emergency call, it would vibrate and wake him up. The content of the text message is very short and can be read at a glance. It contains a place name and a time.

The location is a location in New York, some distance from the hotel but not too far. As for the time, it is today. It seems that everything has been arranged there and is waiting for him to go there.

He glanced at it and memorized the content before deleting the text message. He stood in front of the window for a while, staring blankly at the busy streets of New York on a cloudy day. Then he heard footsteps and rustling glass outside the door. With the sound of collision, he came out of his morning daze and closed half of the curtains.

Pushing open the bedroom door was the living room of the suite. After washing and dressing, Lin Nian walked out and immediately saw the girl doing gymnastics in front of the door. She wore a white T-shirt and blue slim jeans with graceful and straight lines, and her hands were separated. He was holding a silver dinner plate in one hand, standing on one foot on his left leg to keep balance, and his long right leg was trying to reach out and close the door to the living room.

"What are you doing?" Lin Nian glanced at her.

"As you can see, close the door." Lin Xian took the time to look back at him and pushed the door shut with a slight push of his right foot. There was a hint of pride on his face as he landed gracefully. He seemed to be satisfied that the flexibility of his body had not been affected. The food at the Kassel Academy was gone, and the gymnastics skills learned in the orphanage were still missing.

"What time did you get up?" Lin Nian walked to the dining table next to the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down. The window was opened a crack and some rain came in. The air was quite humid, and he could smell the busy and crowded atmosphere of the big city.

I have to say that on a working day when everyone is so busy, being able to sit on a high place and eat breakfast unhurriedly is indeed a very pleasant and enjoyable thing. It feels just like Monday. If you don't go to class while others are in class, you can relax your mood for a while.

"After all, it's earlier than you. When we lived together, when did I not get up earlier than you?" Lin Xian put the dinner plate in front of Lin Nian and sat on the opposite side. "How can I take care of you if I get up early? Wait for you to get up." Shall I boil eggs with milk?"

Lin Nian thought about it and found that he had nothing to refute. Like a little goddess, he could get up early and prepare breakfast, then stare at her neatly sleeping face on the bedside for a while, then find time to read literary novels for a while, and finally wake up when the other party wakes up. Here’s an opening line that I’ve been brewing for an hour.

But in Lin Xian's case, the only scenario is that the other person ran into his room, pulled his quilt with one hand, and kicked his butt hard. Everyone is born to be taken care of by another person until he grows up to be able to take care of him. Others, but in front of the person who has always taken care of you, no matter how much you grow, you will always have to be pulled out of bed and kicked in the butt to wake you up. It is as if it is engraved in your bones. It is an irreversible habit of animals.

"Breakfast in the hotel is free and it's buffet style. I went down early and there weren't many people in the restaurant. You can just grab whatever you want and it's all freshly baked. If you go there late, you'll probably only have bread crust to eat." Lin Xian said. He picked up a piece of baked toast with his fingers and said slowly, "It's quite convenient. Before, I had to run two blocks away to buy you steamed buns and porridge. If you hadn't gotten up yet, I would have had to take out the garbage."

"Thank you for your hard work," Lin Nian said.

"Not sincere." Lin Xian tilted his head.

"Then what kind of sincerity do you want? Do you want to kiss you like a child coaxing his parents?" Lin Nian poked his strawberry waffles sprinkled with powdered sugar and honey with a table knife, and looked up at this pretty girl.

"It's not impossible, as long as you can show off your face." Lin Xingxuan was shocked. He stretched out his hand to cover the collar of his T-shirt, leaned forward on the table, leaned close to Lin Nian and pointed at his left cheek, " I heard that the place your brother kisses, your sister will have more dimples."

Lin Nian leaned back slightly and raised his hand to press his elder sister's face. The fair flesh of her cheeks leaked out from between his fingers. Lin Xian, who was pinned down, looked at his sister's helpless expression and said, "Pfft!" He laughed out loud, sat back on the chair and leaned forward with laughter, his white bare feet swaying with the frequency of laughter, almost knocking the chair over and falling to the ground, but Lin Nian stepped over the table. He stepped on her instep and she sat back down firmly.

"Brother, this kind of thing is just for teasing. No matter how old you are, as long as you don't have a girlfriend, I can tease you with peace of mind." Lin Xian stepped on Lin Nian's knees with his bare feet, tilted the chair comfortably, chewed half a piece of toast and looked at it. Touching the ceiling.

"When I get older, I hope you, who is a few years older than me, will tease me and hide my dentures?" Lin Nian rolled his eyes at her. In the eyes of others, Lin Xian was intellectual, polite, and very aura, but privately between the two siblings, the girl was just a seductress, taking care of him and making fun of him.

"Aren't you going to work today?" Lin Xian asked, looking at the drizzle outside the window and the colorful lights reflected on the glass curtain walls of the high-rise building.

"There's not that much work, and even if there is, it's by the way." Lin Nian cut his waffles slowly, "The magazine recommended by Norma lists many interesting places to visit in New York, but as for today's weather, It’s not suitable for outdoor play, but more suitable for indoor activities on rainy days.”

"Indoor activities? Are you referring to Broadway to watch musicals? I heard that the Broadway Theater in New York is very famous."

"No, let's go to a more interesting place, but before that we have to go to Times Square to buy something." Lin Nian looked Lin Xian up and down.

"What are you looking at? I'm thinking about what clothes your sister and I will look good on?" Lin Xian asked with narrowed eyes.

"Everything looks good on you." Lin Nian shook his head, "I was just thinking about how to make you look bad."

"It's difficult."

"That's true."

"Where are you going this afternoon? Is that place a mess?" Lin Xian read the meaning of Lin Nian's words.

"It's hard to talk about it, it's just a bit open." Lin Nian scratched his cheek not knowing how to explain, "You will understand by then."
