Chapter 1: First Encounter
New York, USA
On the lively streets, there are people from all over the world, there are artists who paint on the road, and musicians who sing and play guitars, but the slender figure shuttling through these crowds looks very different.
Leng Jingxuan wore an off-white long tweed coat, her hair was long and raised in the wind, she was here for a vacation, and it was not easy for her to travel alone.
She walked to the park and sat on a bench, so it was nice to sit alone to breathe in the fresh air and feel the unfamiliar environment.
It's her graduation trip, and at the age of twenty, she's graduating from Harvard's business school with honors, and she's back home next week, and she wants to have a good time in the week.
She sat and enjoyed nature, but someone took a fancy to her bag, and when Leng Jingxuan was not paying attention, he put his hand into her bag, but he didn't succeed.
Leng Jingxuan realized that someone had opened her bag, she pulled her bag back hard, she didn't know that she would be so brave, in fact, there were no valuables in her bag, and there was not much cash, perhaps, this was just an instinctive reaction of people.
And Leng Jingxuan's heart was actually very nervous, but she didn't show it, she tried her best to keep herself calm and not afraid.
Perhaps too nervous, a notebook fell out of her bag while tugging, and she didn't notice it.
Maybe she was lucky, she met a novice, was discovered, and didn't grab it anymore, turned around and ran.
Leng Jingxuan was also taken aback, and it took her a while to calm down, thinking about it or going back to the hotel.
And at this moment, another figure also came from a distance, and on the bustling street, the two passed by.
He glanced up at her beside him, then stopped and looked at her back, and after a long moment, he continued walking.
He was also sitting in that chair with a cup of coffee in his hand, and it was rare for him to have time to go out for a walk today, because he seemed a little irritable because of his mother's condition.
He sat there for a long time, a cup of coffee cooling, and when he finished drinking it and he got up, a delicate pink book came into his eyes, and he bent down to pick it up.
Flipping through the notebook, a photo fell out, it was a photo taken by Leng Jingxuan in Central Park, also dressed in white, with long hair blown by the wind, like a fairy, delicate facial features, so charming, especially the smile on his face, like a spring breeze, blowing into his heart, making him feel very warm immediately.
He looked at the photo for a long time, and then remembered the somewhat familiar figure that had just passed by, and he got up to look for it, but he didn't find it.
Leng Jingxuan returned to the hotel, she opened the bag, only to find that the notebook was missing, where did it fall?
She thought about it, maybe she just fell where she had just been robbed.
Leng Jingxuan didn't think much about it, put on her coat, and turned back to find the dropped notebook.
And when she got back there and found nothing, she looked a little disappointed, and she sat back in her chair, looking a little lonely.
"Miss Leng." A warm, deep, powerful voice reached her ears.
Leng Jingxuan raised her head, and looked over with the source of the voice, and saw a tall figure standing not far from her, the man was more than 1.8 meters tall, wearing a gray long tweed coat, with a shallow smile on his face.
"Are you ......? I don't seem to know you. Leng Jingxuan has just been robbed of her bag, and she will inevitably be a little guarded.
"Hello, my name is Rong Yanze, I just picked up the notebook here, I opened it and looked at it, it has your name and photos." As she spoke, Rong Yanze handed over her pink cover notebook.
"Thank you." Leng Jingxuan took it and thanked him.
Rong Yanze looked at her, smiled and shook his head, "Don't be so polite." ”
"But I should still thank you." Leng Jingxuan also smiled at him, and then, she prepared to leave.
"Are you here for a tourist?" Rong Yanze asked curiously.
Leng Jingxuan looked at him defensively, for his appearance, and his too enthusiasm, she had to be more careful.
Although she is only twenty years old, she has been abroad, and she will not easily believe in strange environments and strange people.
Rong Yanze smiled and didn't say anything.
After Leng Jingxuan thanked her again, she turned around and left.
Rong Yanze stood in place, looking at her distant back, stunned for a long time.
Leng Jingxuan returned to the hotel, and just after coming in, she received a call from her good friend Ji Mengyao, "Xuanxuan, are you still in New York now?" ”
"That's right! I'm going to play a few more days before I go back, you know, if I go back now, my parents won't let me out alone. "Leng Jingxuan sneaked out to play this time.
"That's great, I'll be in New York tomorrow too." Ji Mengyao didn't want to come, but when she heard that Leng Jingxuan was still there, she wouldn't be bored when she came over.
"You're coming to New York? You're not going to play too, are you? Leng Jingxuan asked her last time if she wanted to come along, and she said she didn't want to come.
"I'm here to see relatives, but my aunt is not in good health and sometimes she misrecognizes me, so I'm a little scared." Ji Mengyao said on the other end of the phone.
"So you want to come with me?" Leng Jingxuan thought that if someone accompanied her, it would be good.
"Is that okay? You're not going to let me sleep on the road, are you? Ji Mengyao said pitifully on the other end of the phone.
"I wish you were with me! I'm bored by myself, and I ran into a thief today. Leng Jingxuan was still a little scared when she thought about it.
"Ah, thief, are you alright?" Ji Mengyao asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, Leng Jingxuan leaned on the sofa and looked at the scenery outside the window.
The next day, Ji Mengyao arrived at the airport, and Leng Jingxuan originally wanted to pick her up, but she said that her cousin would pick her up, and Leng Jingxuan was waiting for her in the lobby of the hotel.
An hour later, a black car stopped in front of the hotel, "Cousin, you wait for me here, I'll put my luggage first." ”
"Are you really going to live with your friends? Don't want to stay in a villa? Rong Yanze asked her.
"No, I'm still a little scared of my aunt." Ji Mengyao told the truth. Every time she saw her aunt, she was hugged and cried and screamed, and she thought of her as her dead daughter, and she had nightmares every time.
"Okay, since you don't want to go, then forget it, I'll send you in!" Rong Yanze parked the car, took out the suitcase from the trunk, and walked in with Ji Mengyao.
As soon as Ji Mengyao entered, she saw Leng Jingxuan sitting in the hall reading magazines and drinking coffee, and she rushed over.
"Xuanxuan, I'm here."
