After enjoying the night view for a while, the waiter pushed a small cart back to Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan's table and began to serve food. The waiter first took out a bottle of aperitif (Bordeaux red wine of '82) and opened it, then took out two crystal glasses, poured half a glass and put them in front of Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan respectively, then served bread, cream and a small cup of pumpkin and pumpkin seeds to make a thick soup, and then made a "please" gesture and left again.

Zhang Lexing is actually the first time to come to The River Cafe, so he chose a very special SixCourse Chef's Signature TastingMenu, which is actually a five-course menu selected by the chef from the appetizer and main course, these five dishes are only half a portion, and finally add a dessert, which is more suitable for people like Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan who want to try a little more dishes for the first time.

After a little wine, and bread and soup, the waiter brought a plate of ice cubes on the plate, on which were placed three scallop shells, and the scallop shells contained several things in red, red, white and white. The waiter put down the plate and introduced, "These are fresh scallops marinated in lime tomato juice, then chilled, and served with an appropriate amount of tomato slices and spices, please enjoy them slowly." ”

Chen Zishan took a slice of scallops and put it on her plate, and then tasted it slowly. Zhang Lexing saw that she was very intoxicated with eating, so he also took one and swept it into his mouth with a spoon to taste it, it was soft and crunchy. Zhang Lexing thought that it was a tomato that felt soft to eat, and of course it should be a scallop as a crunchy, but he didn't expect to wait for the waiter to come back and ask, only to know that it was the opposite, and it felt quite peculiar.

The second dish is grilled lobster with fresh orange and cauliflower sauce, which is said to be made with fresh lobster, which tastes sweet and rich and the meat is very elastic.

The third course is a specially processed sea bass steak with sliced zucchini topped with a mixture of pan-fried sea bass and minced shrimp, sausage and mashed potatoes, topped with a piece of toasted flaky and crispy mashed potatoes and drizzled with lemon juice. Eating it, the upper layer is crispy, the middle layer is warm and moist, and the lower layer is fragrant and refreshing, Chen Zishan cut off a piece and put it in her mouth, and immediately felt the layered taste, which was so delicious that she couldn't speak.

Followed by a pan-fried foie gras with strawberry jam and strawberry crepes and another Colorado lamb chops, which were so delicious that they couldn't refuse, and even Chen Zishan, who had been shouting full after eating three dishes, couldn't help but start again.

After eating five dishes, the waiter brought another dessert after the meal, the Brooklyn Bridge made of exquisite chocolate mousse cake and handmade bitter chocolate, the spire hut with vanilla hazelnut ice cream and almond tower, and the plate containing the dessert was specially sprinkled with chocolate sauce into a water wave, presenting a miniature version of the scenery of the Brooklyn Bridge, which made Chen Zishan like it very much, and couldn't bear to start after holding the plate for a long time.

After eating, while drinking strong coffee and tasting the gummies and round cakes given at the end, Zhang Lexing finally found a chance to speak.

"Zishan, did you come to New York just to watch the Italian team's football game?"

"Hmm......" Chen Zishan nodded, and a muffled sound came out of her mouth stuffed with mousse cake.

"Zishan, then you should go back on the 23rd."

Chen Zishan swallowed the cake, took another sip of coffee, shook his head and said, "I can't go, I didn't buy a ticket." I hadn't been to the game before, so I didn't have much experience, so I only bought tickets for the first one. I'm going to try my luck again in the next two days, and if I can't buy it, I'll have to go home. ”

"In that case, Zishan might as well let me ask you to see it."

"Do you have extra tickets?" Chen Zishan excitedly leaned over and grabbed Zhang Lexing's hand.

The soft touch on his hand made Zhang Lexing's heart flutter, and after swallowing his saliva, he said calmly: "That's not the case, I booked a private room, so I can take you in to see it together." ”

At this time, Chen Zishan noticed her gaffe, her face flushed, her hand retracted like an electric shock, her head was lowered, and her eyes circled around the plate on the table.

After a while, Chen Zishan didn't speak, Zhang Lexing was afraid that she didn't hear clearly, and said: "Zishan, I booked a box, I'll take you in to watch the next ball game." ”

"Hmm......" Chen Zishan nodded, still not raising her head.

Although Chen Zishan couldn't say it clearly, she obviously agreed, which was no less than a natural sound for Zhang Lexing, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.

……

A few days later, Italy's second World Cup campaign began. Today, Chen Zishan is still wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and denim shorts, but with a different color match. In order to facilitate the viewing of the game, Zhang Lexing deliberately took an extra telescope today, one for each of them, leaning in front of his eyes and looking into the arena.

Italy's opponent today is Norway, for Italy this game is no less than a battle of life and death, there is no other way out but victory, perhaps it is this reason that Italy today played far better than the last one. The first 20 minutes were largely dominated by Italy, with the team's number one star Robert Baggio and his team-mates working together flawlessly, with the right amount of passing and cutting and often getting out of the way of Norwegian defenders, during which time the Norwegians were in danger and on two occasions were even close to scoring. Norway were not completely without counter-attacks, but they were snuffed out by Italy's precise offside tactics. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before Italy scored.

Italy dominated the game, and the Norwegian team was blocked in their own half and beat fat, and there was little power to fight back. Chen Zishan, who supports Italy, is naturally ecstatic, and whenever Robert Baggio hits Norway's crumbling defense with the ball, she can't help but jump up and shout and cheer, completely like a fan.

A minute later, Norway found a chance to get the ball in front of the striker, but the Italian team failed to play offside when a defender failed to keep up, and the Norwegian striker ran a few steps to get the ball, leaving him with only goalkeeper Pagliuca who had already arrived outside the box. The Norwegian striker adjusted his pace and picked up a high ball, by which time Pagliuka was ready to disrupt the attack with a tackle, and when the ball was almost flying over him, he could no longer reach the ball with his head. Pagliuka didn't hesitate, reaching out and smashing the ball out with his hand, but his foot was caught and the Norwegian striker was knocked down.

The shrill whistle sounded, and the referee came to Pagliuca and pulled a card from his pocket, the blood red on which looked so dazzling in the sunlight. Italy's main goalkeeper Pagliuca was sent off for handball outside the box, and coach Sacchi replaced substitute goalkeeper Maciegiani, for which Roberto Baggio had to go off early, and the form suddenly began to reverse, Italy was forced to go on the defensive, and Norway took the opportunity to launch wave after wave of attacks.

When Pagliuca was fouled and sent off, Chen Zishan experienced an instant change from joy to shock to pain, especially when Robert Baggio was substituted, and there were even tears in her eyes. Later, Norway continued to besiege Italy's goal, and Chen Zishan gritted her teeth and became extremely nervous, and even put down the binoculars a few times.

Fortunately, during this time, the Italian team's backline, which was basically composed of AC Milan team, stubbornly withstood Norway's attack, and although Benarivo, Baresi, Costacuta, Maldini and others were a little tired, the rough footwork of the Norwegian players did not pose any real threat.

In the first few minutes of the second half, Italy's defender Rock Baresi went off with a knee injury and Apoloni came off the bench, making Italy's defence vulnerable. When Baresi was carried out of the field, Chen Zishan's whole body shook, and the water glass in his hand fell to the ground and turned into fragments.

Zhang Lexing hurriedly supported her and asked with concern: "Zishan, it's okay, do you want to sit down and rest." ”

Chen Zishan shook her head, took the binoculars and continued to look into the arena, at this moment she was very strong and stubborn, but her expression was very cold.

At this time, in the field, perhaps Italy was stimulated by the crisis, or perhaps it had adapted to Norway's long-pass and rushing style of play, Italy no longer simply defended, and gradually began to attack the door of the Norwegian team, and the two sides began to attack and defend each other, and Chen Zishan's expression gradually thawed.

In the 16th minute of the second half, the ball was passed into the box, Dino Baggio rushed up and headed it over, the ball flew into the net of the Norwegian team, and Italy led Norway by one goal and once again saw the hope of qualifying. When the ball was pushed towards the door of the Norwegian team by Dino Baggio, Chen Zishan grabbed Zhang Lexing's arm tightly with one hand, and held a telescope in the other hand, looking nervously into the field. When the ball finally flew into the gate of the Norwegian team and many people cheered on the field, Chen Zishan shook the telescope in her hand, and the whole person screamed and jumped in the box, and even threw herself into Zhang Lexing's arms, venting her joy. Zhang Lexing quietly hugged Chen Zishan, waiting for her to calm down, but found two lines of tears on her face at some point.

Gently brushing away the tears on Chen Zishan's face with his hand, Zhang Lexing patted her shoulder and said, "Zishan, don't worry, Italy will definitely win this game." ”

"Hmm......" Chen Zishan nodded vigorously, then gently broke free from Zhang Lexing's embrace, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was too rude just now." ”

Zhang Lexing shook his head, handed the telescope to Chen Zishan, and then leaned over and picked up the telescope she threw off from the ground. The quality of the telescope is not bad, and after falling like this, except for a little more scars on the surface, the lenses are nothing to do, and they still look so clear when they hold it and look inside the arena.

In the next half hour, Chen Zishan watched and watched, and unconsciously grabbed Zhang Lexing's arm again. No need to look at the scene, Zhang Lexing can know the situation, as long as the ball reaches the Italian half, Chen Zishan's hand will inevitably be clenched, and the closer the ball is to the Italian gate, the tighter her hand will be held, and it will not relax until the ball is passed to the half of the Norwegian team.

In this loose and tight process, the Italian team successfully defended to the end and won a hard-won victory as they wished. As the final whistle sounded, Chen Zishan fell backwards as soon as she became soft, but fortunately, Zhang Lexing quickly supported her with her right hand. Chen Zishan was lying softly in the crook of Zhang Lexing's right arm, not struggling, just crying softly, tears slowly flowing down her cheeks. Chen Zishan didn't move, and Zhang Lexing didn't dare to move, but just took out a handkerchief from her body with her left hand and gently wiped away her tears. Gradually, Chen Zishan stopped crying, Zhang Lexing looked at her face like a begonia after the rain, couldn't help lowering his head, and kissed her on the forehead.

There was a hint of panic in the crook of the arm, and then it quickly calmed down again. Zhang Lexing's left hand grabbed Chen Zishan's waist, and his lips left her forehead and went down, finally stopping on her soft lips, and a moist and gentle feeling spread out between her lips. The body of the person in his arms suddenly tightened, and then slowly became soft, and a pair of jade hands gradually surrounded Zhang Lexing's side.

I don't know when, the bodyguards in the box disappeared very interestingly, only two people hugged each other tightly, and the small room seemed to return to spring for a while......
