205 Close Encounter

Strictly speaking, the night in New York does not look like night at all, the ubiquitous lights support the entire navy blue sky, and the continuous light makes the whole city look like day, even if you walk on the streets in the early hours of the morning, the bright streets, the surging crowds, and the shouts of excitement still show a completely different look of this land.

However, walking through the streets in the early hours of the morning, gradually leaving the noisy main street, you can clearly feel the noise and noise being left behind, and the world gradually falls into a quiet process, which is a special experience like no other.

After experiencing one party after another, from excitement to exhaustion, from sleepiness to excitement, and then from excitement to fatigue, Alice and Lu Li truly grasped every minute of this night, wantonly squandering the last night of their student days, and leaving their own footprints in New York City with the wanton and flamboyant and heroic youth.

"After you came back, how did your conversation with the New York Post go?" Lu Li and Alice walked through the quiet streets, leaving all the noise behind, and the moonlight penetrated the canopy of the trees and sparsely landed on the ground dappled patterns, making people can't help but lower their heads, observing the steps under their own feet, lest their own steps destroy this work of nature.

Alice adjusted her steps seriously, but because she drank too much, her steps couldn't help but stumble, but there was some lighthearted taste, strolling in the gap between the patterns, like an elegant ballerina, "It's over, it's all over." ”

Alice's words didn't have too many regrets, but with a hint of relief, she raised her head, and then saw Lu Li's disgusted expression, which made Alice laugh out loud, and the alcohol seemed to amplify her emotions, "I know, it's their regret to miss me." I think so too. Lu Li raised his right hand in agreement, and this action made Alice's smile rise again, "I knew it would be like this for a long time, didn't I? ”

If the New York Post wanted to hire Alice, it wouldn't have been ambiguous.

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and shook his head again and again, and the range of his movements increased because of the alcohol, "But at the same time, it also means that you have opened up countless opportunities." For example, the New York Times is waiting for you, and the Wall Street Journal is also running out of people lately, I hear. ”

"Haha. Alice smiled very happily, the "New York Times" and "Wall Street Journal" are more authoritative, stronger, and more popular media than the "New York Post", and the competition is relatively fiercer and more cruel. But it is undeniable that what Lu Li said is right, instead of hanging himself from a tree, it is better to give up the remnants of his thoughts and look for opportunities in the broader forest.

Then, Alice lifted her chin arrogantly and nodded gracefully, "Yes, I think so too." The two exchanged glances and both laughed, "I'm going to submit a few more resumes to try, not only New York, but other cities will try to look at them." ”

Fresh graduates often want to look for opportunities in big cities, especially journalism. So, in general, people are more willing to look for work in New York, the world's largest media capital, where media professionals from all over the world gather. The competition is fiercer, and the work is correspondingly more challenging.

However, New York is not the only big city, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Seattle, Boston, Washington, D.C., etc., each with its own media culture, and it is not inferior to New York. Not to mention moving away from North America and looking global.

"Looks like you're going to have to thank me a bit. Lu Li puffed up his chest and said seriously.

Alice's trip to Cloud Peak Ranch broadened her eyes and heart, which made her make a change of decision, "I thought that this was my thank you for bringing you to the party tonight." ”

"Party?" Lu Li showed a heart-wrenching expression, "It turns out that you brought me to the party tonight for a purpose. Lu Li's expression of a long sigh made Alice laugh, and the light laughter echoed in the streets, and New York in early autumn seemed to regain the lightness of summer.

Alice's footsteps gradually stopped, and although she was reluctant, there was still a time to reach her destination, and they walked slowly along the way, and finally reached her residence.

Lu Li took two more steps forward and wanted to brake, but the alcohol was on his brain, and he couldn't help but take two more steps before turning around, "It's here." ”

"yes, it's here. Alice put her hands behind her back and looked at the yellow halo at the door, which sprinkled warmly, "I'm really happy tonight, thank you for your company." ”

"Phew, it's good that the beer ping pong game won the final victory, otherwise after drinking twelve glasses of beer and whiskey, we would have fallen to the ground on the spot, where is the party behind?" Lu Li slightly had a big tongue, "So, it should be me thank you, thank you for throwing in two ping pong balls, not all of them failed." ”

Alice bit her lower lip lightly and glanced at Lu Li with disgust, but finally puffed up her chest lightly and said proudly, "I think so too, you have to thank me for giving you at least one chance." That cunning look made Lu Li shake his head happily.

Then Lu Li took out the Venice Carnival mask from behind him and handed it to Alice, "I'll give this to you, I don't need it in the ranch anyway." However, this time you protect yourself and don't damage it again. ”

Alice took the mask, her fingertips slid lightly over the delicate lines of the mask, they bought two masks for the party, but hers accidentally broke it, and she regretted it for a long time, this is an important keepsake for tonight. Unexpectedly, Lu Li actually gave her his.

Alice looked up, put on her mask, and said with a smile, "So is it Prince Charming and Cinderella now?"

Lu Li raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and gently tapped it on the forehead of the mask, "Knock, Cinderella, your glass slipper is in my hand now, if you still want it, before tomorrow, take ten dollars, go to Washington Square, remember, don't call the police, otherwise, hum." ”

The playful words made Alice laugh, through the mask you can clearly see Lu Li's deep eyes, the moonlight is reflected in the depths of the eyes, shining brightly, and then Alice took off the mask, took a lunge forward, stood on tiptoe, raised her head and kissed Lu Li's lips.

Soft, warm, with a hint of woody aroma and a hint of alcohol, it is intoxicating and indulgent.

Everything was as beautiful as imagined, Alice's heart was beating fast, every cell in her body was screaming, and shyness and happiness were like electricity, flowing down the blood to every corner of her body. The thick dark night behind him seems to have thousands of fireworks blooming at the same time, even more magnificent and colorful than the National Day on the fourth of July, and the whole night sky is as bright as day, the day of midsummer July.

The taste of happiness is so good, so good that it melts.

Then Alice took a step back, didn't even dare to look at Lu Li's face, and ran towards the gate as soon as she slipped through the smoke, even during the 100-meter sprint test, her speed was not so fast, her cheeks were almost on fire, she rushed into the door of the apartment building, and then quickly closed the door, pressed her back against it, and breathed heavily, her heart seemed to burst, and her smile couldn't help but rise.

Lu Li was caught off guard by being killed, obviously not expecting Alice's abrupt move. By the time he reacted, Alice had only one back left, looking at Xiao Nizi's panicked fleeing figure, with a hint of nervousness in her shyness, and a hint of sweetness in her youth, her smile involuntarily climbed up the corners of her mouth, went up, and then went up again.

So, what just happened?

There were too many accidents on this night, and it must have been the alcohol, which made people impulsive, happy, out of control, and crossed boundaries. The boldness and flamboyance of youth, the wanton and madness of youth, ferment an intoxicating agarwood in alcohol. It's ridiculous, but it's also beautiful.

A cold wind blew, Lu Li's head ached faintly, and the back of his neck surged up, so that he was almost unsteady on his feet, and staggered back half a step, but the hot breath left on his lips became more and more real and clear, making people feel a little nostalgic.

Nostalgia......

Alice's back was pressed against the door, and the cold door panel had finally calmed her mood a little, but the flame that was still bubbling in her chest had never been raised, and the scorching heat made her whole body hot. After thinking about it, she opened the door again and shouted outside, "Tonight, thank you!"

Then, without waiting for Lu Li's response, he closed the door again, his smile, eyebrows, and eyes were full of sweetness, and he walked up the stairs with brisk steps. The night was good enough, and the kiss just now lit up the whole world.

"Good night!" Lu Li's voice, which had been hoarse from alcohol, echoed under the night sky, and Alice could faintly hear the response, laughing briskly, and then heard someone push open the window and scold, "Go/you/mom/'s good night!Do you know what time it is?"

Poof, Alice laughed out loud, and the pace of going home became more and more brisk.

Lu Li wrinkled his cheeks, he didn't know what time it was, it shouldn't be early anyway, and then he raised his voice and replied, "I'm sorry." With that, he took a step in the direction he had come, but after only a few steps, he realized that he could not remember where he had parked his car, and that they had just walked all the way back, so the wisest choice now was to take a taxi and go home to sleep.

So, Lu Li did just that. In the early hours of the morning, I found a yellow taxi on the streets of New York, returned home smoothly, stepped on the moonlight, and fell into my dream in a drowsy state.

The good times of college, the wanton fanfare of youth, the purity and simplicity of dreams...... In the midst of alcohol and laughter, the curtain came to an end. After today, they are about to embark on a new journey.
