Chapter 77: On the Torch of Freedom
Whether the hooligans have a smell or not, Lin Mingyang has no way to verify, but it is an indisputable fact that his instep is injured. Scarlett Johansson was very upset when she found out that her kick had caused such serious consequences, although she didn't say it, but she had actually forgiven Lin Mingyang's "hooligan" behavior during filming.
Scarlett Johansson knew very well that it was just an accident, but when she recalled the whole thing alone at night, she still clearly remembered the moment she hit Lin Mingyang, a strange and numbing sensation spread throughout her body like an electric shock, that kind of pleasure she had never experienced before, if there was another ......
This "evil" thought made Scarlett Johansson, who was hiding under the covers, blush, but she found that she no longer "hated" Lin Mingyang as much as she did at the beginning, and this guy seemed to have a magical power in him, making everyone who approached him involuntarily "trap" it.
To be precise, only women who are close to Lin Mingyang will be deeply attracted to him, which can be found in the men around him. Ex now wished he was far away from Lin Mingyang, at the beginning of the news of Lin Mingyang's instep injury, Ex was still nervous for a while, but when he gave up his leisurely vacation and the beach beauty he just met, and hurried from the sunny coast of Florida to Salt Lake City, he was told that Lin Mingyang's foot injury was not serious, and his depressed mood can be imagined.
Lin Mingyang's feet were really fine, but Kenny Ortega still gave him a week off. In the matter of the holiday, Lin Mingyang's foot injury is not the main reason, the key is that Kenny Ortega saw that the crew was working very hard during this time, and the production cycle of the film was still abundant, so he decided to let everyone relax first. It just so happened that Lin Mingyang's foot was "injured" at this time, and with such a high-sounding reason, the rest of the crew could also rest.
Scarlett Johansson has been avoiding Lin Mingyang in the crew for the past two days, probably because she is afraid that the two will be embarrassed after they meet. When Kenny Ortega announced that she was on vacation, she immediately packed her bags and flew back to Los Angeles.
And Lin Mingyang, who stayed in the crew, was not a homesick child, after his foot was accidentally "injured", his mother Catherine called him several times, in addition to caring about his injury, she mentioned the most about finding a tutor for Lin Mingyang. Ex has also been helping to find a suitable candidate recently, a chattering mother, plus a long-winded and old-fashioned "housekeeper", Lin Mingyang felt that he had had enough, so he secretly got on the flight to New York with everyone on his back.
It's time to visit his beloved first girlfriend, and Lin Mingyang, who was on the plane, found a good reason for himself.
When he got off the plane, Lin Mingyang sent a text message to Megan, and he didn't rush to tell her that he had brought New York, but just asked what the other party was doing now.
As soon as Lin Mingyang put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, Megan's reply to the text message arrived:
"I'm done training and I'm on my way back."
"Let the driver drop you off at Grand Central Station, where I have prepared a gift for you, you have to sign for it yourself!" When Lin Mingyang sent this message, he was passing through the ticket gate of the subway.
"It wasn't so mysterious that you used to give gifts!" Megan hesitated a little after receiving the text message, her address in New York Lin Mingyang knew very well that all the gifts were sent directly there before, but this time she always felt weird.
Although she was a little confused, Megan patted the back of the driver's seat, "Tony, go to Grand Central Station!" ”
"Why don't you just go back?" Tony, a black man in the driver's seat, is the driver and bodyguard that Meghan's mother hired specifically for her.
"It's time for me to make up my mind, I'll go there now, and I'll explain to my mother when I get back." Megan flipped through the cover of her phone, and then saw the last text message from Lin Mingyang:
"It's a very special gift, but I promise you'll love it!"

Grand Central Terminal, located at the junction of 42nd Street and Park Road in Manhattan, New York, is one of New York's landmarks. With 44 platforms and 67 tracks, Central Station is the largest railway station in the world, with platforms located on two basement floors. The main staircase in the waiting hall is in the style of the Paris Opera House, reminiscent of the golden age of early train travel. The vault of the hall is a map of the 12 signs of the zodiac drawn by the French artist Heroux based on a manuscript from the Middle Ages, with a total of more than 2,500 stars.
However, next to the Pisces pattern, if you look closely, you will find a small black hole, which can be regarded as a memento of the US-Russian space race. After the Soviet Union successfully launched an artificial satellite in orbit ahead of the United States, the United States decided to display a rocket at Central Station in order to educate the public about the importance of being ahead in the space race. During the process of transportation, because the measurement was not done in advance, the roof was poked into a hole. In the end, the rocket was brought in by a crane to be displayed, and the hole that was punctured has been preserved to this day.
Lin Mingyang, who came here, carried the telescope and wandered around the hall for a long time, until the phone in his trouser pocket began to vibrate, and he didn't find where the small hole poked by the rocket was. Somewhat discouraged, he put down his binoculars and answered the phone.
"I've arrived, where's the guy who helped you deliver the present?"
"You walk into the hall, and you can see the four-sided clock on the roof of the central information desk, and in front of the clock stands a very dazzling fellow, you can find him at a glance!"
Half a minute later, Lin Mingyang saw Megan wearing a pair of big sunglasses hurriedly walking into the hall, and in the bustling crowd, she did see the dazzling guy Lin Mingyang said at a glance, because he was opening his arms and making a gesture to greet her with a hug.
The stupid Lin Mingyang was imagining the beautiful picture of Megan rushing towards him and then throwing herself into his arms, and then he found that the actual situation seemed to be a little different from what he imagined. Megan stopped half a meter away from him with her hands in her hands, and then looked at him with a look of resentment.
"You bad guy finally knows to come and see me!"
"Is this how you welcome me?"
Lin Mingyang's open hand didn't mean to put it down at all, and it wasn't until Megan took the initiative to send her body into his arms that he hugged the seductive body, and then both of them couldn't wait to give each other their lips.
This hot kiss did not last too long, and Lin Mingyang made a lot of determination to muster up the courage to break free from Megan's hot ** kiss. The two looked at each other, meeting each other's eyes that became a little confused due to incomprehension and confusion, Lin Mingyang said apologetically: "If we don't want to make entertainment headlines tomorrow, this is not a place for intimacy." ”
His reminder allowed Megan to break free from her confusion, and she reluctantly let go of the hand that was tightly tied to Lin Mingyang's neck, but her body was still tightly attached to Lin Mingyang's arms.
Lin Mingyang helped the somewhat crooked sunglasses, grabbed Megan's slender waist with one hand, and then looked around very professionally to make sure that no one was secretly photographed or followed, and then hugged her and walked quickly into the ticket gate.
When you come to New York, Lin Mingyang will naturally not miss the Statue of Liberty. The point is that he has a good idea that needs to be there to be realized.
He and Megan took the subway to Battery Park and then took a ferry to Liberty Island. From afar, the goddess has her lips closed, her head is wearing a radiant crown, she is dressed in ancient Roman robes, she holds a torch in her right hand, and in her left hand she clutches a bookboard symbolizing the American Manifesto of Reading, and her feet are left with broken chains.
On the pedestal of the granite statue is engraved the famous poem of the American poetess Emma Nasa Rochi:
"Give me your weary and degraded multitude huddled together and eager to breathe freely, your wretched abandoned crowd on the bustling shore, your homeless and troubled people, all to me, and I stand at the golden gate, holding high the lamp of freedom."
Lin Mingyang and Meghan are like an ordinary couple in the crowd, people take the elevator from the bottom of the bronze statue to the top of the pedestal, and then follow the 171 spiral steps inside the statue of the goddess to the top of the crown, through the window to look out, the east is known as the "steel babylon" of Manhattan Island; To the south, New York Bay stretches as far as the eye can see. From the crown to the right, you can climb the torch high above the statue's right arm, where there is a viewing platform that can accommodate 12 people. Unfortunately, after 9-11, it was suspended for security reasons.
Lin Mingyang pretended to be a foreign tourist with a very poor English level, and after "communicating" with the staff guarding the door, he was actually lucky to be released.
"What do you do and how do you do it?" Meghan, who witnessed the whole process on the side, asked in disbelief after boarding the observation deck at the bottom of the torch.
"I told him that we were from France, and with great respect for this statue that witnessed the friendship between the two peoples, and wanted to carry the torch of freedom and hope to realize the biggest dream of this trip to the United States, and then that guy was touched by me!" Lin Mingyang took a deep breath, with a smug expression on his face.
"So we're standing here?" Megan Fox didn't believe that Lin Mingyang could let the guy guarding the door let him go just by relying on this "nonsense". "This kind of abusive scene can only happen in the script you wrote, and honestly, what did you do with him?"
"Well, thanks to the great Benjamin Franklin, who not only drafted the Manifesto of Reading Power, which was tightly held by this woman holding the torch at our feet, but also opened the door for us to make this romantic getaway." Lin Mingyang praised from the bottom of his heart.
At first, Megan didn't react from Lin Mingyang's "nonsense", but she immediately thought of the perfect representative of the capitalist spirit on the 100-dollar bill, and then suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Lin Mingyang stuffed something into his pocket just now when he showed the staff member a photo of himself, which turned out to be US dollar bills.
"Why did you come to this place to date me?" After figuring out this matter, the doubts in Meghan's heart have not been completely eliminated.
"Don't you think this place is great in the name of freedom and hope?" Lin Mingyang's body came up, and Megan, who was leaning against the window railing, naturally hooked her arm around his neck, and the two of them touched their foreheads, and each could feel each other's breathing and even heartbeat.
"No one bother, just you and me!"
"I don't think so!" Megan muttered duplicitously, with a certain ** flavor in her voice. She was now back to the same feeling she had when she kissed at the station, and her eyes were starting to get foggy.
I have to admit that Lin Mingyang is an out-and-out genius in terms of scene setting and character introduction. There is no date with roses and red wine, which actually makes Megan feel intoxicated.
"Kissing on the torch of Lady Liberty, it's been my dream for a long time!"
"Can I know why?" Let Lin Mingyang's hands slide on his back unbridledly, and every caress stimulates Megan's ** that has been dormant in her heart for a long time, so her last question came out in an almost moaning way.
"Because I hugged you here, I felt like I was embracing the whole world!"
Lin Mingyang became a little hurried, and his thick voice was only halfway through speaking, and his lips were blocked by Megan's surname. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two shadows overlapped fiercely, no longer separating each other.
