It was raining in San Francisco in the wee hours of the morning. The rustling raindrops smashed into ripples on the stone pavement. The morning mist was hazy, and the majestic churches with their big clocks, the old streets that stretched in all directions, and even the steam railcars parked beside the roads were covered with a layer of cold moisture.

The steam airships in the city's central square are almost all produced and operated by an airship company called Dickney.

Dickney's original plan was to spend ten dollars and fly around San Francisco. They claimed that the steam airship could still fly normally even in the harsh environment of thunderstorms, and that it operated 24 hours a day, and that maintenance and refueling were carried out in the sky, and that the work of maintaining and refueling was carried out in the sky.

But because of the high cost, the business has been crowded since it opened. Later, Dickney changed his mind, developed the sky poster advertising business, and even played the gimmick of sky restaurant and business reception, and finally revitalized the business of steam airships.

Because it was early in the morning, there were not many guests on the airship at this time.

Dorothy was draped in Li Yan's black dress jacket and sat at the round table by the railing, her soft red hair slightly raised by the harsh wind.

She propped her elbows on the table, absentmindedly shaking the spoon in her cup, staring at the side face of Li Yan opposite, covering her mouth and yawning.

"If you're tired, I can take you back to the hotel."

Li Yan withdrew his gaze from the surface.

Dorothy lifted her coffee cup, bit the rim of the cup, and said vaguely, "You're pretty handsome in this blue sweater." ”

"Thank you."

Li Yan glanced down at his sweater: "I used to have a windbreaker that I liked very much, but unfortunately it was so torn that I couldn't wear it later." ”

"I think blue is better, it will make you look more ......," Dorothy considered the wording, "more gentle." ”

Li Yan stared at Dorothy's face for a while before shaking his head: "With all due respect, I've never been a gentle person. ”

"No, I mean ......"

"Dorothy, have you ever heard of such a saying? When a person crosses the suspension bridge with trepidation, his heart will involuntarily beat faster. If another person happens to appear at this time, Party B crossing the suspension bridge will mistake this heartbeat for a good impression of the other party. ”

Li Yan interrupted Dorothy's words.

Dorothy tilted her head, "That's a new way of saying it." ”

She put down her coffee cup: "But when you faced Jane, you didn't say that." ”

"It's a fairy tale, a drama." Li Yan cut a piece of steak, and then raised his head: "Make a scene on the spot." ”

Dorothy didn't speak, quietly chewed the dessert on the table, stared at Li Yan with a not very friendly look, and said for a long time: "Jane told me to splash your face with a cup, I'm serious." ”

"If you want to splash, please be sure to say hello, I will bring my face closer, don't splash it on my clothes."

"you."

Dorothy gave Li Yan a blank look, she wanted to take a sip of coffee to calm down, only to find that the cup and pot were empty.

The waiter came over at the right time: "Miss Dorothy? ”

"Ah, thank you," Dorothy smiled.

"Please give me a bottle of wine."

Li Yan interjected at the right time.

The waiter nodded, turned to leave, and in a few moments came over with a bottle of chilled red wine and a pot of coffee.

Dorothy sorted her thoughts for a moment before she asked again, "Lee, do you like my drama?" ”

Li Yan shook his head very uninterestingly.

"What kind of story do you want to see? Let's talk about it, before I give myself a long vacation, maybe I can satisfy you. Take it as my reward to you. ”

Dorothy deliberately covered her face with a cup, and only looked at Li Yan with a pair of eyes.

"I want to think about it."

Li Yan deliberately thought for a while before he said: "I want to see a Chinese working alone in a foreign country, surrounded by mean villains and incompetent people, but deliberately embarrassed him." But they were all solved one by one by the Chinese with wisdom and talent. Later, this Chinese met a rich family from a foreign country, a lonely celebrity wife, and a beautiful female star, and these women couldn't help falling in love with him, and were even willing to share this excellent man with other women. This happy family had five children......"

Dorothy was so angry that she couldn't even hold the knife and fork steadily, she suppressed her anger, gritted her teeth at Li Yan and said, "Li, you are simply an incorrigible shameless bastard. ”

"Well, I'll change it."

Li Yan opened the wine stopper: "She is also a Chinese, she works alone in a foreign country, works hard, behaves as a person, and fantasizes about being recognized by this city." But the harsh reality eventually crushes him, and in pain and rage, he transforms into a ruthless super-criminal, using what he's learned from the city to take revenge on the arrogant whites. Become an urban legend. ”

Dorothy covered her forehead in distress: "Lee, I think you're too sharp." ”

"I'm a very pragmatic person, Dorothy. In any drama, even if only one audience is willing to pay for it, it is not a failure. I'm the one who is willing to pay for it, you're professional, you should know better than I am, what am I talking about? ”

"Listen, Lee, I'm not fighting with you. What I want to express is that if my theater has to rely on Chinese to pay, I don't think it can be done in a hundred years. It's fair that you need to write the story in your own mouth, and you pay for it yourself. ”

Li Yan had a smile on his face, and raised the wine bottle at Dorothy: "You're right. ”

Clang~

The sound of the wine bottle and the coffee cup touching each other is very crisp.

Dorothy put down the cup and pondered for a while before asking, "Lee, are you angry at the words of those audience members in the theater?" ”

Li Yan shook his head.

"Not all of them, huh? Why? ”

Dorothy asked in surprise. Li Yan's words just now proved that he did have a grudge against this city.

"Because."

Halfway through Li Yan's words, his eyelids suddenly lifted, and a sharp light came out of his pupils.

Rumble!

A blinding fire erupted on the surface.

Dorothy was also startled by the soup on the table, and looked down in a bit of a panic.

Flames spread uncontrollably among the cramped houses on the surface, and ruins littered the ground with torrents of heavy carts.

That's the location of Chinatown.

Li Yan covered his ears with one hand, and his expression changed violently. He stood up suddenly, moving so hard that he touched the table and chair.

"I'm sorry, Dorothy, but I have something urgent to attend to and can't send you back. Don't worry about me. ”

"But at least wait until the steamboat returns to the square......"

Before Dorothy finished speaking, she suddenly screamed, and Li Yan just jumped over the railing in front of her, and jumped off the air in a big shape!

The unstable bottle shook back and forth, and finally rolled off the tablecloth and shattered in Dorothy's screams.
