The clear sky is as clear as a mirror, and a few cotton-like clouds can occasionally be seen on the transparent light blue canvas, which looks like they are on vacation, lazily lying in a hammock/ A row of intricate wires is like a stave reflected in the blue sky, and a few sparrows rise and fall, churning and jumping, as if they are working hard to compose music, and the chirping sound actually reveals a hint of heavenly taste; a breeze blows, the cold of the March air mixed with a hint of spring is coming, and a series of goosebumps appear on the surface of the skin, as if as long as you open your arms, you can ride the wind and wander in that intoxicating blue……

"Fourteen...... Fourteen!" The shout in his ears grabbed Lu Li's wandering thoughts, and as if pulling the rope of a kite, it pulled him from the vast expanse directly to the ground. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Turning his head, Lu Li saw a pretty and youthful face, because the distance was too close, he could even see the fine fluff on the face, covered with a light layer of pink, and the pair of emerald green eyes were rippling with a rosebud-like halo, slowly blooming in the depths of his pupils, "Hey, Alice!" Lu Li was startled and couldn't help leaning back, but then realized that they were in class, so he quickly suppressed his voice and raised his head to look at the professor on the podium- Fortunately, this was a large classroom, and his shouts did not disturb the female professor, who was over fifty years old and still unmarried.

"We're going to Miami today, would you like to join us?" Alice said in a low voice, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

Lu Li hadn't fully recovered from the distraction just now, his thoughts paused for half a second, and then he remembered. Spring break starts tomorrow, and all American college students will enjoy this rare vacation, and going to the beach in Miami to party is undoubtedly the first choice for most students, but Lu Li can only stay in New York and continue to run for living expenses.

Lu Li, from a small mountain village in southeastern China, is currently in his senior year of journalism at New York University and is about to graduate. In this era, studying abroad is no longer the exclusive domain of the rich, and many working families have sent their children abroad for higher education. Lu Li was able to come to the United States to study because he got a scholarship through his own efforts, which solved the huge amount of tuition fees.

In the blink of an eye, he is already a senior in college, and the pressure after graduation falls on his shoulders unconsciously, and he must start planning for the future, whether to find a job or continue graduate school, whether to try to stay in the United States or go back to the big city in China, and what unit should be chosen for internship, and what will be the direction of his graduation thesis, countless choices may be dazzling, but before he has time to worry about the future of confusion and confusion, the accident at home disrupts the whole plan.

My father was hospitalized for a heart attack last October, and after 17 hours of surgery, he was able to get through it. But follow-up problems followed, not only did most of the family's savings be used up, but even the father needed to recuperate, and there was no way to return to work in a short period of time, and the weight of the whole family fell on the mother.

Fortunately, Lu Li has stayed in New York for the past two summer vacations, working to earn living expenses, and his problems will not become a burden on his family in the short term. However, he also realized that he had to share more weight for his mother, so he began to increase his part-time hours, on the one hand, he needed to take care of the increasingly heavy schoolwork, and on the other hand, he needed to take care of the day and night of the working life.

Spring break, for most young people, is a good time to enjoy a short rest, but for Lu Li, it is the best time to work, especially during the holidays, not only the hourly wage has increased, but also the tip has doubled.

"I have other plans. Lu Li politely declined, with a shallow smile on his face, "But I still appreciate the invitation." As he spoke, the professor had already announced the end of class, and the other students around him all stood up and began to pack up their textbooks, looking at the regretful expression on Alice's face, Lu Li changed the topic, "I hope you enjoy the sunshine there, and you won't be able to feel it again when you come back." Lu Li pointed to the sunlight outside the window, "There aren't many days like this." "The weather in New York is really bad, and it's only the first sunny day like today in two weeks.

Alice was amused, looking at Lu Li's eyes like star stones, the unfathomable black reached the extreme and revealed a ghostly light, involuntarily, the smile on the corner of her mouth rose a little, "It seems that your plan is more tempting than the Miami sun, which makes me curious." ”

Lu Li didn't say a word, quickly packed up his textbooks, he had to rush to the part-time restaurant immediately, if he was late, the foreman manager was going to put on a face again, and signaled to Alice, and then Lu Li picked up his backpack and took a quick step, Alice's voice came from behind him, "Then I'm looking forward to your spring break story, remember to share it when you come back!" Lu Li turned around, raised his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger against the tail of his eyebrows, and then made a saluting gesture, without answering, he turned around and walked quickly out of the classroom.

I trotted all the way to the place where I parked my bicycle, found the key from my pocket, and opened the lock, but before I could drag the bicycle out, there was a shout from the distance, "Fourteen! Fourteen!" The voice was from far and near, originally a little thin, but it was getting louder and louder, and when he raised his head, Lu Li saw seven or eight people bustling at the classroom window, these people were obviously coaxing, shouting in unison, "Fourteen!" The mischievous smile on his face made the other students around him look at him.

Lu Li stood in place, shaking his head helplessly, but his smile slowly rose. "Fourteen" is his nickname, which comes from a stupid mistake he made at the freshman meet-and-greet.

At that time, it was the first time he stepped out of the country, if it was on paper, he had absolute confidence, but under the domestic examination-oriented education, he did not have any confidence in the dumb English, just imagining the scene of using English in daily life in his mind, and his palms began to sweat, so that when his instructor asked his name, he subconsciously replied "14th" - his birthday was November 14th, not only the instructor, but even the other international students around him laughed.

At first, this nickname was only circulated among Chinese/Chinese fellow villagers, but over time, all his classmates called him like this. Lu Li didn't care, anyway, the name was just a codename, and he even introduced himself by using "Fourteen" as his English name, and then shared it with others as a funny conversation, which really made him make a lot of friends in the past two years of college life.

Lu Li raised his right hand, as if it was a superstar facing the cheers of his fans, waved his hand condescendingly, and then with a turn of his wrist, the palm of the waving hand turned into the middle finger of the right hand aimed at the classmates, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

Just as Lu Li lowered his head again and pulled out the bicycle, he heard the shout sound again, "Fourteen!" raised his head, and then saw Alice leaning against the window, "Someone is looking for you!" Alice stretched out her entire right arm to the window and pointed in the direction of the door.

Looking in the direction, Lu Li saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walking out quickly, looking left and right, the man looked about forty years old, a black suit with a white shirt, a faint beer belly but would not lose the professional atmosphere on his body, holding a black briefcase in his right hand, looking like an ordinary product manager on Wall Street.

The middle-aged man looked in the direction of the classroom, and then saw that all the students were pointing at Lu Li in unison, as if it was a natural weather vane, and the picture made Lu Li really laugh.

However, the smile was only pressed on the corner of his mouth, and Lu Li immediately led the bicycle and walked in the direction of the middle-aged man, "Sir, do you have something to do with me?"

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry, he strode in front of Lu Li, and after stopping, he politely stretched out his right hand, "Good afternoon, I'm Mark Foster." May I ask you ......" he paused, "Mr. Lu?"

Mr. This word is really a little unfamiliar, Lu Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm Lu." So, you're British?" Americans don't like to use the word "sir."

"Boston, born and raised. Mark replied with a smile, but he didn't understand the humor in Lu Li's words just now. This made Lu Li complain: Sure enough, they all say that Bostonians have no sense of humor! "Excuse me, do you have time now?"

"Uh......" Lu Li looked at his watch, "five minutes." Because Mark always spoke politely and politely, it seemed like a business matter, which made Lu Li more and more confused, and at the same time, he didn't leave directly, "I need to rush to work, and the time is a little rushed, so I ......"

"It's fine. Mark waved his hand, quickly took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to Lu Li, "I'm a lawyer at the law firm of Will, Goschelle and Mangers, and I need to talk to you about Ms. Isabella Allen's estate, when will you be available next?"

Looking down at the business card in his hand, Lu Li's doubts were not only not alleviated, but became more and more, "Wait." Lu Li stopped Mark, and the pace of pushing the bicycle forward also stopped, "What did you say? inheritance? I don't know any Ms. Allen, and I don't inherit any inheritance, are you mistaken?"

Under the blue sky, the bright sunlight poured down, faintly outlining a golden trim on Lu Li's shoulder.
