Chapter 247: Compensation
Yue'er couldn't bear the blazing love in Chris's eyes anymore, and turned her head away in shame, looking at her like this again, feeling that she was going to be eaten by him in the next second...
Looking at Yue'er's shy appearance, Chris swallowed the desire he had suppressed to the limit, adjusted his breathing, and led her to the cloakroom.
"What's wrong?" Yue'er was puzzled.
"You haven't eaten well all day, and I haven't eaten much at night. Since you can't sleep, let's go out for a walk. Chris thought that these days were holidays anyway, he just wanted the moon to eat, sleep and have fun, and the important thing was that she could be happy.
New York is one of the few cities in the United States that never sleeps, and unlike many quiet towns that herald the end of the day when it gets dark, New York doesn't have an end signal.
The ever-shining neon lights of Times Square always exude a strong atmosphere of an international metropolis, announcing to the world that it is the center of the universe.
Yue'er was led all the way by Chris to the famous snack street in Times Square, and she was a little blindfolded all of a sudden.
It's not early, but it's still bustling with people, hawkers, young people laughing and playing, and cars honking their horns one after another, all of which are unique signs of the city at night.
——— dividing line of knowledge———
With the exception of a melody metropolis like New York, you'll barely hear a car honking in most (99% of the time) areas of the United States.
My dad was shocked when he first came to the United States.
Because drivers in most cities in the United States are very obedient to driving rules and driving etiquette, you will rarely encounter a rude honking to scare other vehicles on the road because you are in a hurry and impatient, let alone honking at pedestrians
And I have to add that Americans obey traffic rules spontaneously, and basically the vast majority of areas do not have such a thing as cameras, and there are no traffic police. In the absence of surveillance, everyone is purely spontaneous and voluntary to maintain order.
Based on this premise, generally speaking, most people who drive in the United States rarely honk their horns, and only sound their horns to warn when the other party has serious violations, dangerous driving, or the other party does not realize that there is a problem with their vehicle.
That is to say, most drivers who drive in the United States will not honk their horns because of traffic jams, nor will they honk their horns because you are not driving as fast as he expected.
The author has been driving in the United States for 7 years, and he has only honked his horn once (woo woo woo, let me explain)
Generally, everyone will honk when the other party is obviously wrong, and the short sound is to remind the other party that you are wrong. For example, I once went wrong at a turn, because I was a novice at that time, and I had never driven on the road before, and a car gently dripped me, and I understood immediately.
However, if it is a serious mistake (e.g. it is dangerous to stop signing), the other person will give a long horn to express their dissatisfaction because they feel that you have caused a threat to the lives and property of others.
As for the author himself, he only honked the horn once, not that I haven't met unruly people, but because I haven't used this function for a long time, my reaction is extremely degraded, and every time I wait for someone's car to drive away, I react.
And what's worse is that the only time I reacted, I found that the other party was still in front of me, so I long-honked the horn to express my dissatisfaction, and a road rage popped up... Also drunk.
After thinking about it, forget it, or don't press it, in fact, for the vast majority of Americans who live in non-urban areas, the horn is basically an ornament. Remember, honking your horn is a very uneducated and impolite thing in the eyes of Americans, and if you honk your horn because the road is congested, I tell you that all other drivers will despise you, and if you don't keep it, someone will roll down the window and accuse you, which is super humiliating (I have never encountered it, it is a reasonable speculation given to me by life experience)
However, New York is different. New Yorkers drive extremely irregularly, drivers try their best to take shortcuts, and there are too many violations, so the whole city is particularly noisy. Especially in downtown Manhattan, when there is a traffic jam, everyone honks like crazy. That's one of the big things I don't like about New York.

Until she was in it, Yue'er couldn't believe it. She looked at Chris with wide eyes: "When did you eat street stalls?" ”
It's not because Chris is pampered because he was born wealthy, but because his only unknown "weakness" is that he is born with a bad stomach and is very sensitive, and he will react more than ordinary people when he eats something unclean.
Yue'er also slowly learned about it after dating him, so she also paid attention to it, and chose high-end restaurants when she went out with him to avoid causing him gastrointestinal discomfort.
However, when I was studying, my classmates always liked to find some street shops once in a while, and generally things were done very well, but Chris rarely participated.
When Yue'er asked this, Chris pursed his lips, feeling the embarrassment of a child being exposed to doing bad things.
"It's my first time here and I've heard a lot of people love it. I was thinking, did you come with friends when you were studying? Chris's tone hid an imperceptible regret, and not being able to spend each other's youth with Yue'er was probably the biggest regret in his life.
"Well, I've been here a few times with my classmates. When I first arrived, I didn't feel comfortable in New York. Later, I slowly found out that there are all kinds of people here, and it is quite interesting. Yue'er looked at everything in front of her, as if she had returned to her student days in an instant.
Looking at the glint in her eyes, Chris curled the corners of his mouth in relief.
"Yue'er, I want to participate in your life, and I don't want to miss every minute and second from now on. Can you give me this chance? ”
Yue'er poked his head lightly and stuck out her tongue mischievously: "Why did you go earlier?" Who was ruthless in the first place, and I said to leave. ”
"Yue'er..." Chris was speechless when asked, but Yue'er's eyes looked so pure, even if he was accountable, he couldn't hear even a trace of dissatisfaction and blame.
She understood Chris throughout, and thankfully she didn't give up...
Yue'er turned around and walked away as if she was angry, and Chris hurriedly followed her closely.
"Yue'er...", he didn't need to explain, just called her name, and there was a hint of coquettishness in the tall and tall person, which attracted passers-by who approached couldn't help but look sideways. However, it only takes a glance to see that this man is majestic and dignified. If you look at it for the second time, you will feel very familiar, it seems that you have seen it somewhere, is it a star? Or maybe it's a male model, after all, ordinary people rarely have such a good figure.
Yue'er enjoyed his every call, and finally waited until she had heard enough, then she turned around and looked at Chris seriously.
"When I first came to New York, a friend told me that Times Square was the crossroads of the world. I was thinking, if one day, we come to this crossroads together, and you are given another choice, will you choose the same direction as me? Yue'er's restrained grievances weighed down Chris almost out of breath.
He stepped forward with a lunge, and the fierce force directly circled her into his warm chest. Yue'er's face was pressed against his chest, and he felt the powerful beating of his chest, as if telling his love for Yue'er as his life.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."Chris's belated countless apologies melted away the frozen corners of Yue'er's heart...
She had forgiven him a long time ago, or she could even say that she had never really blamed him, but after all these years of losing his company, the loneliness was real, the longing was real, and the pain was real.
Because of love, it hurts.
Thinking of this, Yue'er suddenly grabbed his arm and bit out a mark of her.
"This is a sign that you belong only to me, and you will never be allowed to leave me again..."Yue'er's domineering declaration of exclusivity sounded unimposing, but her eyes revealed her distress, although this level was nothing to Chris.
"Yue'er...", he called her name affectionately again, and the bright moon in the sky eclipsed the neon of Times Square at this moment, "I only belong to you, and you only belong to me." After saying that, he bent down and hugged Yue'er, and some pedestrians were already attracted by this scene.
Yue'er was so shocked that she gently patted him on the shoulder, "You let me go quickly, I will be seen by others..."
"I don't care..."Yue'er, let me teach you what is the mark of love..."After speaking, his lips went straight to her swan neck, sucking hard, causing her to tremble slightly.
Sure that he had planted the mark of love, Chris reluctantly let go of her.
"If you want to assert your sovereignty in the future, I don't mind you doing it that way." Chris said as he took Yue'er's hand and held his neck as if out of nowhere, lightly touching his hard Adam's apple, and the moment her fingertips touched, Yue'er seemed to see him swallow a deep bite of his desire...
Yue'er couldn't stand the gossip from her surroundings, so she turned around and walked towards the crowd.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the square, a group of young people with countless balloons in their hands came out of nowhere to surround them, Chris looked at these balloons with fluorescent effects and quickly rose into the air, the dark sky with the flickering neon plus these fluorescent balloons, the crowd in the square erupted in amazement and ensuing applause.
Before Yue'er could ask what was going on, an even more amazing scene happened——— all the electronic screens in the entire Times Square turned into roses in an instant, and a very simple sentence "Yue'er, marry me." Chris。 ”
She stared in disbelief at the screen full of her name as the crowd erupted in loud screams. The advertising price of the electronic screen in Times Square is notoriously not cheap, and the key is that now all the screens are switched to marriage proposals in an instant, which has to be a big deal.
All the passers-by are searching for this heroine who is obviously spoiled, and finally everyone's eyes are locked on a man who is kneeling on one knee, oh my God, this man is affectionate and golden, why is even his appearance so outstanding, God is too unfair...
The words on the screen didn't scroll at all, just the almost simple and crude courtship. With a full screen of marriage proposals, Bach's classic "Aria on the G string" began to play, this widely circulated masterpiece is a violin duet that Yue'er once played with Xing'er at the school's school celebration, so many years have passed, Chris's mind has never forgotten her melodious piano sound, and the sweet piano sound in his most painful moments is also a memory that accompanied him through those years...
Chris was kneeling on one knee at the moment, kissing Yue'er's jade hand and looking into her eyes affectionately.
"Miss Lu Yue'er, are you willing to marry me? In this life, except for you, I can no longer tolerate anyone in my eyes, and every day of the rest of my life, I will never leave you again, and I will love you with all my heart until death. Would you like to give me this opportunity? Let me be your husband, and we'll have children and spend this life together, okay? ”
