Chapter 8: New York, New York

"I want to go to New York!"

As if someone pressed the pause button, the picture froze in an instant, and a few people who were still talking and laughing at a hearty breakfast a second ago instantly froze like lifelike wax figures. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's wrong? Any questions? Li Mingcheng asked cautiously.

Everything is finally back in motion.

Richard put down the knife and fork that cut the omelette, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "No, no problem, it's really boring to stay in one place all the time, on vacation, you should go to other places for a walk." ”

"Although I am a little reluctant, my aunt is willing to agree to your request this time." Li Hongsu also smiled and responded.

Li Mingcheng's hanging heart fell to the ground suddenly, "Thank you." ”

"But before that, you have to tell your parents," Li Hongsu said, "they have a right to know." ”

"No problem, I'll give them a call later." Li Mingcheng responded.

"What about me, what about me? I want to go to New York too! Daisy couldn't sit still and raised her hands and shouted.

Carlisle and his wife were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled, Li Hongsu said, "Okay, you can go with you too." She turned to Li Mingcheng, "Xiaocheng, no problem, right?" Although I know that you are very mature, you are still a minor after all, and it is not a good thing to go away without an adult. ”

Li Mingcheng lowered his head and thought about it, his identity as a minor was indeed a bit troublesome, and eighty percent of what he wanted to do really had to use his identity as an adult, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”

After breakfast, Li Mingcheng called home and informed his father Li Dexian of his itinerary for the next few days, but he didn't confess what he wanted to do, but just said that he wanted to go on a trip. The enlightened Li Dexian readily agreed, and asked with concern if he needed to send some pocket money over. Li Mingcheng agreed to it.

After making the call, Li Mingcheng and Daisy went back to their rooms to pack their luggage. In fact, there was nothing to pack, so he took a few changes of clothes and stuffed them into his schoolbag, put on his schoolbag and brought a guitar given by someone, and Li Mingcheng walked out of the room.

Daisy is in a lot of trouble. Li Mingcheng went down the stairs and waited in the living room for more than ten minutes, but still didn't see her go downstairs.

It was half an hour before Daisy reappeared.

Li Mingcheng looked at the half-human-tall suitcase and Daisy, who had obviously changed a set of clothes, and couldn't help but want to complain: This eldest sister, are you sure that the protagonist is really not you? Accompanying me or something is just casual talk, right?

The excited Daisy ignored the stunned Li Mingcheng on the side, waved her hand, and shouted in a playful voice: "Guys, don't sit still, all move, everything is ready, it's time to set sail!" ”

Do you still want to be a captain like this? Li Mingcheng's soul of complaining was burning.

After saying goodbye to his aunt, his uncle, Richard Carlisle, personally sent the two to the Nashville airport.

At half past ten in the morning, the group arrived at the airport. Richard Carlisle went to the parking lot alone to park his car, and Li Mingcheng and Daisy rushed to the ticket office in a hurry.

Praise to Lady Luck that there were still tickets available on the most recent flight at a quarter past 1 p.m., and the two breathed a sigh of relief and happily paid for the tickets.

When they were choosing a seat, the two quarreled again, and each of them wanted to sit by the window. Li Mingcheng threw out the argument "I am a younger brother, you should let me" to take the lead, and Daisy quickly returned the color with "I am a woman, as a gentleman, you should know how to be polite".

In the end, the battle ended with Daisy winning. Daisy used the strategic nuclear weapon "I am airsick", which destroyed Li Mingcheng's army.

After picking up the tickets, the two waited for Mr. Richard in the airport lobby. Before getting out of the car, he said he had something to tell them.

A few minutes later, Richard appeared at the door of the hall and walked quickly towards them after seeing Li Mingcheng and Daisy waving at him in the crowd.

"Did you buy a ticket?" Richard asked.

"Of course." Daisy smiled and waved her ticket at him.

"That's good." Richard nodded.

After a pause, he took out a note from his pocket, "When you get there, go directly to the hotel written on the address, then I go often, the conditions are very good, you should like it." I've already said hello to the boss before, booked a room, and just said my name when I got there. ”

Richard, who works at JPMorgan Chase's Nashville branch, often travels to a financial metropolis like New York, and the hotels he introduces are definitely high-end.

"Okay, excuse me." Li Mingcheng took the note handed by Richard and solemnly put it in his pocket to put it away.

"Hey, old man, you figure it out, I'm my sister, why don't you hand over such an important thing to me for safekeeping!" Daisy quits.

"No, the person who needs to figure it out should be you, Daisy," Li Mingcheng said lightly, "You are just a sister physically, and psychologically you are my niece at most." ”

"Leonardo! I'm fighting with you! Even the full name was shouted, and Daisy was really angry this time.

She screamed and opened her teeth and claws, and was about to rush at Li Mingcheng.

"Oh dear, calm down, you're a girl!" Richard hurriedly grabbed his baby daughter.

He turned his head to Li Mingcheng again and said, "Leo, you are too, why do you always want to tease her." ”

"I'm not playing tricks on her," Li Mingcheng shrugged his shoulders, "Besides, don't adults like to tease children?" ”

"Dad, let me go, I'm going to kill this damn guy today!" Daisy was in her father's arms again.

These two people are really a pair of enemies, since the first day Li Mingcheng arrived in the United States, the two of them have come to play such a drama from time to time, which is really worrying.

After a few minutes of madness in her father's arms, Daisy finally settled down, probably tired, but she obviously didn't want to forgive her hateful cousin, so she snorted coldly at Li Mingcheng and turned her head, saying that she didn't want to see her cousin's fiery stinky face again.

Richard let go of his daughter and rubbed his temples with a headache as he watched the two of them, "It's best for the two of you to live in peace in the future, after all, the two of you will need to rely on each other for the next few days," he showed a wry smile, "Although I know it's hard, it's the only option." ”

"Don't worry, uncle, I'll try to tolerate her."

"Fart, I should tolerate you!"

How can you reassure me...... Richard's head was full of black lines.

"I hope you remember what I said......" Richard sighed and opened his arms to them, "I won't say anything more, it's time for me to go back." Boys and girls, say goodbye to me. ”

"Goodbye, Daddy." Daisy hugged her father.

After the two separated, Li Mingcheng also stepped forward and hugged his uncle, "Goodbye, uncle." Be careful when driving. ”

"Goodbye, little ones," said Richard, waving goodbye to the two of them, "have fun and enjoy your trip." ”

"Thank you, Dad."

"Thank you, uncle."

Richard waved his hand again and turned to leave.

The two watched Richard leave, and did not withdraw their gaze until his back disappeared outside the door of the hall, and then turned their heads in unison.

The two looked at each other, stunned for a moment, and then glared at each other fiercely at the same time.

"Humph!" "Humph!" Li Mingcheng and Daisy shook their heads vigorously and pointed the back of their heads at each other, neither of them wanted to deal with anyone.

…………

At 3:47 p.m., the plane landed at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.

Li Mingcheng woke up Daisy, who was asleep on his shoulder, and glared at his sleepy-eyed cousin fiercely.

It's so disgusting, how old are you and still drooling when you sleep!

"Have you arrived?" Daisy, who was still half-asleep and half-awake, looked at Li Mingcheng cutely, with crystal liquid still remaining at the corner of her mouth.

"You can sleep a little longer and we'll be able to go straight to Canada for dinner." Li Mingcheng said angrily.

"Wow! Leo, you're so funny! Daisy didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Li Mingcheng's words.

"Thank you for your shoulder, I slept so comfortably." Daisy suddenly became energetic, "Alright, young man, get moving, I can't wait to enjoy my trip!" ”

Li Mingcheng looked at his confused cousin speechlessly. She is such a nervous person, one moment she is still-for-tat with you, and the next moment she can have a drink with you.

As the flow of people got off the plane and took Daisy's checked suitcase, Li Mingcheng pushed the suitcase in one hand and the schoolbag in the other hand and carried the guitar on his back to follow Daisy out of the Kennedy Airport hall in the crowd.

"New York, I'm coming!" Standing outside the airport lobby, Daisy shouted loudly as she opened her arms to embrace the air as she rolled into the road.

Dozens of eyes shot at him in an instant, Li Mingcheng twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at his cousin's back, slapped his face and covered his face tightly.

I was wrong, I shouldn't have agreed to let her come with me in the first place! Is there a hurry for me to regret it now?

The "Big Apple" New York is a cosmopolitan city that could not be more famous, and to some extent, it is even more famous than the capital Washington. When it comes to urban modernization, no other city in the world can stand out from the crowd. Although it is 2005, the prosperity of the high-rise buildings is enough to push 90% of China's cities to the ground in ten years' time.

In addition to "rich and capricious", Li Mingcheng could not find other more appropriate words to describe the city in front of him, whether it is the high-rise buildings with amazing costs, or the luxuriously dressed citizens, or the professional men's basketball team named after the city, which ranks among the top few in the league in terms of total salary but ranks last in the league in terms of combat effectiveness, this can be intuitively shown.

Hop on the airport bus to the city center, get off the bus and change to a taxi, and before dark, Li Mingcheng and Daisy finally arrive at the hotel that Richard said.

As expected, it is indeed a high-end star hotel.

The receptionist at the front desk was very friendly, and when Li Mingcheng reported Richard's name, she was even more enthusiastic as if she wanted to melt people.

After personally sending the two to the room, she also thoughtfully said that if you want to eat in advance, you can tell her, and she will let the kitchen prepare it separately for the two of them in advance.

Li Mingcheng and Daisy were suddenly a little flattered. Lian again and again said that he did not need such a distinguished special treatment.

After the two settled everything, it was completely dark the day after tomorrow, and even if he was anxious, Li Mingcheng could only postpone the business until tomorrow.

Daisy was very happy to accept this result, and after dinner, she rushed out of the hotel with Li Mingcheng in a hurry. She'd been wanting to see New York's thriving night markets for a long time!
