Waiting, waiting, the time came to the beginning of June, but the legendary Chen Zishan, who was going to return to China, never appeared, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the 17th, Zhang Lexing couldn't sit still, and called Zhao Haiguang for the last time. But the news on the phone was still disappointing, Chen Zishan still did not come back, and it was said that he was going to stay in the United States to deal with something. In this case, Zhang Lexing had to take out the ticket that had been booked a long time ago and fly to the United States, because the World Cup was coming.

The last World Cup was held in Italy, and Zhang Lexing was unlucky not to book a ticket, so this time he was ready early, and asked Yang Xinxin to book the ticket. Yang Xinxin herself doesn't like to watch football, according to her words, it is "not as interesting as watching basketball if you can't score a goal in half a day", but she did a good job of helping Zhang Lexing book tickets, of course, from her point of view. According to Zhang Lexing's idea, as long as the seat position is good, it is convenient to watch the ball, but Yang Xinxin doesn't think so, in her opinion, there are too many people in the football stadium and it is unsafe, how can she sit with a large group of people, so all the tickets she booked for Zhang Lexing are boxes, and even the accompanying bodyguards are ready. When he got the ticket, although Zhang Lexing found this problem, he had no choice at all, he couldn't go to the scene to watch the game, and he couldn't go to the door to wait for someone to refund the ticket.

On June 17, Zhang Lexing came to New York and stayed at the famous Sheraton McDolan Conference Center Hotel. The hotel is slightly higher than 3 stars, but the ancillary facilities are still very complete, and even include an indoor swimming pool. However, these are not the main reasons, Zhang Lexing chose this place because the Sheraton McDorland Convention Center Hotel is close to the New York Giants Stadium, so Zhang Lexing does not need to travel long distances for the two football games in the next few days.

In fact, the eyes of the world today are not in New York, Zhang Lexing felt it on the way to the hotel, at this time most people are nervously watching the Chicago Soldier Stadium, looking forward to the opening ceremony in a few hours. Zhang Lexing actually watched the opening ceremony of the '94 World Cup once, and from the Americans' point of view, they thought it was a very successful opening show, with spectacular, gorgeous, fabulous music and endless surprises, and even in their opinion, it completely opened up a new history of football competition. But in the eyes of people elsewhere, especially Europeans, it was just a Hollywood-style opening ceremony built by Americans who didn't understand football, and although it was lively, it couldn't make a big impression. Even the theme song of this World Cup "Land of Glory" has been criticized, lacking heroism and resonance with football. So Zhang Lexing is not interested in the opening ceremony, I really want to relive the side and you can watch TV, there is no need to run around because of this, and it is not very close from Chicago to New York. As for the opening game, it was also given up by Zhang Lexing for this reason.

On June 18th, Ireland vs Italy kicked off, Zhang Lexing sat in the box and watched the game through the telescope and the TV in the box, there were four bodyguards standing quietly next to him, and there were two more standing outside the box door.

After a brief trial, both sides of the game began to try to attack each other. One moment it was Italy's Siglori who advanced with the ball and then passed it to Baggio, and the other time it was Ireland's Aldridge who made a steal in midfield and played a long ball on the spot. The two sides are back and forth, but gradually the Italian team is a little unable to keep up, the ball is often controlled by the Irish team, and the Italian team players are mobilized through a wide range of transfers.

In the opening 10 minutes and 40 seconds, the Irish midfielder made a long pass of more than 40 meters, and the Italian players and Irish players in the penalty area jumped up at the same time, and the ball popped up outside the penalty area. Horton took the ball and took two steps into the middle, and several Italian players gathered around him, and the timing was fleeting, and Horton looked up to see where the goalkeeper was standing, and then suddenly lifted his feet and hoisted towards the goal. Italian goalkeeper Pagliuca was a little forward, he jumped up and reached for a moment, trying to stop the flying ball, but only caught the air, he looked back, and the ball drifted into the Italian goal as he watched. After that, the Italians tried to fight back, but there was nothing they could do against the united Irish team, and in the end, thanks to Houghton's goal, Ireland beat Italy by one goal, which was exactly the opposite of the result of the last World Cup.

After watching the game, Zhang Lexing left the court and prepared to go back to rest. Before getting on the bus, his eyes swept over the square in front of the Giant Stadium, where many fans who were unwilling to leave immediately were wandering, and suddenly a somewhat familiar back attracted Zhang Lexing's attention. It was a woman with slightly fluffy wavy curly hair, a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of navy blue denim hot pants underneath, and a small purple printed satchel, and was slowly walking outside.

Zhang Lexing took a closer look twice, couldn't help but run over, and shouted behind the woman, "Chen Zishan." ”

"Hmm. The woman subconsciously responded, looked back, and sure enough, it was Chen Zishan.

Chen Zishan turned around and saw that it was Zhang Lexing, and her face immediately showed a surprised expression: "Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"

"I'm here to watch the game, Miss Chen, are you also here to watch the game?"

"Yes, I'm also here to watch the game, it's a pity for Italy, it's obviously quite strong, I don't know why I can't win Ireland. Chen Zishan shook her head and said dejectedly: "Alas, even Baggio can't help it." ”

"Where does Chen Xiao live? Do you want me to give you a ride? ”

"No, I'm staying at the Sheraton Hotel not far from the front, it's very close. ”

"What a coincidence, I also live there, since I stop by the way, why don't we go together. ”

"Okay. Chen Zishan didn't refuse anymore and followed Zhang Lexing into the car.

……

After the car started, Chen Zishan said: "Mr. Zhang, your car doesn't seem to be cheap, it looks like it should be a successful career, right?" ”

"It's okay, just making a little software and a game or something. Zhang Lexing said a few words modestly, and then said to Chen Zishan with a smile: "Miss Chen, it's better to meet by chance, in this case, can you have dinner together in the evening." ”

Chen Zishan pursed her lips and thought about it, then nodded: "Yes, but not today, I have already made an appointment with a friend, but there is no arrangement for tomorrow, you can choose the place first, and leave a message to me at the service desk when the time comes." ”

Zhang Lexing was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face, Chen Zishan could promise tomorrow, this is at least a good start.

The car soon came to the Sheraton McDolan Convention Center Hotel, got out of the car, Zhang Lexing personally accompanied Chen Zishan to the elevator, and the bodyguards found an excuse to send it away.

Walking into the elevator, Zhang Lexing politely asked, "What floor is Miss Chen's room on?"

"Sixth floor. When Chen Zishan spoke, her eyes turned to the side, and she didn't know what she was looking at.

Zhang Lexing casually pressed the floor button on the sixth floor, and then was about to press the floor where his room was located again, when he suddenly found an interesting situation: "Miss Chen, what a coincidence, I also live on the sixth floor." ”

"Well, that's a coincidence. Chen Zishan nodded, and this time her eyes turned to the ground again.

As the indicator lights jumped layer by layer, soon the sixth floor arrived......

"Miss Chen, can I send you back to your room?"

"No, I can do it myself. Chen Zishan waved her hand, then walked out of the elevator to the left.

Zhang Lexing followed out of the elevator, looked at both sides of the aisle, and also walked to the left.

Chen Zishan heard someone coming behind him, stopped and turned around and said, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your kindness, I really can." ”

"Miss Chen, I'm sorry, I also live here. ”

"There are so many coincidences, watching the same game, staying in the same hotel, or the same floor, even the direction of the elevator, there can't be so many coincidences. Chen Zishan took a step forward and asked, "You won't lie to me, will you?" ”

"Miss Chen, I really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can look at the key to my room. Zhang Lexing took out his room key and handed it over.

Chen Zishan took the key suspiciously and looked at it, and suddenly became angry: "You also said that you didn't lie to me, you look at this key, and my one east and one west, how can it go in one direction." ”

"But I do live here. Zhang Lexing felt that he was even more wronged than the Dou family's goose.

"Oh," Chen Zishan took out her own key and looked at it again, then stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, "Mr. Zhang, I went in the wrong direction." ”

Zhang Lexing only felt that his feet were weak, and he almost fainted......

However, this tidbit is not completely unbeneficial, Chen Zishan agreed to call her Zishan in the future in order to compensate for the "mental loss" suffered by Zhang Lexing. In Zhang Lexing's view, this means that the relationship between the two is a little closer.

Back in his room, Zhang Lexing began to plan out where to eat tomorrow. New York is a cosmopolitan city with no shortage of places to eat, drink and be merry, but when it comes to mood, The River Cafe on the Brooklyn waterfront is a great place to be. There will naturally be more people going to good places, and if you don't contact it earlier, there will definitely be no seats, so Zhang Lexing immediately called TheRiverCafe according to the contact number he checked. Luckily, the RiverCafe, which is usually overcrowded, will still have empty seats tomorrow night, and there are actually window seats, so Zhang Lexing immediately gave the seat on the phone. Putting down the phone, Zhang Lexing breathed a sigh of relief, and the next thing is to see his performance tomorrow.

……

At 5:40 p.m. the next day, Zhang Lexing packed up, changed into a suit, came to the lobby of the hotel, and stood at a position where he could see the elevator and waited. Twenty minutes later, when the elevator door opened again, Zhang Lexing saw Chen Zishan, today she was wearing a dark purple evening dress that was just over the knee, draped in a black shawl, and a pair of gold diamond-encrusted high heels on her feet, the whole person looked mysterious and charming.

Chen Zishan walked out of the elevator and saw Zhang Lexing waiting for him not far away, so he walked slowly to Zhang Lexing with a smile. When Chen Zishan showed her charming smile, Zhang Lexing felt that his heartbeat was speeding up, and there was nothing else in front of him except Chen Zishan.

Under Zhang Lexing's gaze, Chen Zishan slowly approached, and when he was only two steps away, Zhang Le walked over and stood on the left, and then made a "please" gesture, and the two walked side by side towards the car parked at the entrance of the hotel. Coming to the car, Zhang Lexing opened the car door first, and then held the car frame with his other hand, and after Chen Zishan sat in, Zhang Lexing opened the door on the other side and sat in the car. As soon as he sat down, Zhang Lexing first helped Chen Zishan fasten his seat belt, and then fastened his own, and then patted the driver's seat, and the car quickly started to drive towards The River Cafe.

The car drove along the bustling streets of New York City, past Hudson River Park on Manhattan Island, and drove for about ten minutes, crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, and soon came to The River Cafe.

As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Lexing got out of the car first, came to the side where Chen Zishan was sitting, opened the door and held the car frame, and when Chen Zishan got out of the car, Zhang Lexing closed the car door, and then came to Chen Zishan's side, stretched out his arm, and Chen Zishan naturally stretched his arm in. Feeling the soft touch in the crook of his arm, Zhang Lexing took Chen Zishan and walked towards the gate of The River Cafe, which is surrounded by greenery.

When he came to the door, a waiter wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a bow tie pushed open the door, Zhang Lexing took Chen Zishan and walked inside, and the waiter asked respectfully, "Sir, have you made an appointment?"

Zhang Lexing nodded and said, "I have made an appointment, my surname is Zhang." ”

"Welcome Mr. Zhang, please come with me. The waiter smiled and made a "please" gesture.

followed the waiter to the predetermined seat and sat down, Zhang Lexing whispered: "It's time to serve." The waiter nodded respectfully, turned and walked away.

The reserved seat happened to be by the window, and as soon as Chen Zishan sat down, she was attracted by the beautiful night scene outside, and she held her cheeks with one hand and couldn't wait to look out of the window. Zhang Lexing also turned his head to look out the window, and under the brilliant night, the dazzling brilliance of the Wall Block Financial Towers and the Brooklyn Bridge came into view.
