New York! New York!

If you love someone, take them to New York, because it's heaven there; If you hate someone, take them to New York too, because it's hell there.

New York, one of the world's leading metropolises, is the most populous city in the United States, but it is also the city with the largest gap between rich and poor.

In this city of cultural diversity and freedom of thought, people can not only wander through the Metropolitan Museum's human culture and art gallery, taste the noble and pure heirlooms of art masters from all over the world, but also see the dark weirdness and even ugliness hidden behind the bizarre and bustle.

In New York, you can see tall celebrities on high-rise buildings, and you can also see newspapers with Spider-Man's figure everywhere.

New York is home to the most American superheroes, Spider-Man, Daredevil , Iron Man, Punisher, Captain America, Fantastic Four, and even the birthplace of the Hulk.

Similarly, this is also the city where the most American villains gather, Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Professor Lizard, Venom, Bullseye, Jinji, Hand and Hui, Hydra, and even the first stop for the Chiritas to conquer the earth, and they directly opened the space-time wormhole in Manhattan.

And it is such a city that people love and hate, Ling Xiao set foot on this land today.

As soon as he stepped into the New York airport, Ling Xiao took a deep breath, the air in New York was okay, not as bad as he imagined.

After flying for six hours in a row, as expected, the cramped cabin really made Ling Xiao feel a little depressed, and the flight attendants on the plane were not as glamorous as they were rumored, not even eye-catching.

Holly Robinson disappeared as soon as he got off the plane, but Ling Xiao didn't care, he walked out of the airport leisurely with a bag on his back.

LaGuardia Airport is located in Queens, New York, so Ling Xiao directly hailed a taxi and went straight to Flushing, which is not far from here.

It's the second-largest Chinese neighborhood in New York, and to be honest, Flushing is more Chinese than Chinatown in Manhattan. Formerly a small town north of Queens, near New York's LaGuardia Airport, it attracted Chinese and other Asian immigrants more than three decades ago.

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks of 2001, Manhattan saw a large wave of Chinese migration, most of whom moved to Flushing.

In Flushing, the expansion from the street to the construction of infrastructure follows the trajectory of any administrative district. Popular restaurants in Chinese mainland or Manhattan will quickly come to Flushing to open branches to expand the market.

For example, the Qingdao hotel where Ling Xiao is about to stay, Ling Xiao's ancestral home is Shandong, and there is a natural sense of intimacy when living here. With the same skin color, familiar local accent, and delicious food, Ling Xiao often chooses to live here when he comes to New York.

Of course, if he had landed at Newark Airport, he would have chosen Chinatown, but it looked a little depressed, as if time had stood still, just as it had been a few years ago, unchanged.

Flushing is young, energetic, and comfortable to live in.

Ling Xiao also has a few friends here, all of whom are Chinese young people who have met from the Internet, some of whom have come to the United States to study, and some of whom have come to work.

So after settling into the accommodation, Ling Xiao got in touch with his friends, and after making an appointment with the time and place, he went out.

In Flushing, where almost half of the population is Chinese, Ling Xiao is inconspicuous here, like a drop of water melted into the sea.

This is exactly the purpose of Ling Xiao's coming here, Chinese people in the eyes of Americans, unless they are very familiar, in their eyes, everyone looks the same.

If things don't go well for Holly Robinson this time, Ling Xiao, who lives in Flushing, will not be easy to be spotted and followed, and it's less than a ten-minute drive from LaGuardia Airport, so it's easy to leave here and fly back to Los Angeles.

"Hey, Ling, what have you arrived, why did you come and don't say anything in advance." Greeting Ling Xiao were two girls he knew, one Zhou Qian and the other Xu Liang, both of whom were his friends.

This is a Chinese restaurant in Flushing called Tidefang, and the salt-baked chicken, roast duck, and casserole porridge made here taste very authentic.

In Flushing, from Lanzhou ramen to Sichuan Malatang, from Northeast dumplings to Shanghai local cuisine, as well as Xinjiang lamb skewers and Beijing pancakes, you can find almost everything you want to eat. Some Chinese even said in surprise after dining in Flushing, "Some of the Chinese food here is even better than China." ”

"I've just arrived in the afternoon, come and sit down." Ling Xiao stood up and welcomed the two girls to sit down, it was already ambush time, but compared to Los Angeles, the weather in New York was cooler, and Zhou Qian and Xu Liang were dressed very coolly.

"Why are you here, Xiao Wang?" Ling Xiao asked in some surprise, Xiao Wang's full name is Wang Dong, he, Zhou Qian, and Xu Liang are all fellow villagers from Inner Mongolia, and they only met each other after coming to the United States.

"Xiao Wang can't come over something, he may have to return to China at the end of the year." Xu Liang, who has short hair and is a little refreshing, has always been very smug and scheming.

"Oh!" Ling Xiao looked at Xu Liang with some surprise, his gaze quickly fell on Zhou Qian's body, and his gaze was full of inquiry.

"Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me." Zhou Qian was a little red-skinned by Ling Xiao's eyes, and gave him an angry look.

Zhou Qian looks much more beautiful than Xu Liang, a typical black straight girl, and her personality looks very soft, but once she decides, it is difficult to be reversed.

After a few contacts, it can be seen that Wang Dong is very interesting to Zhou Qian, but Zhou Qian has no feelings for Wang Dong at all, it's okay to be friends, if you really want to go further, it's not easy for her who has a somewhat conservative personality.

Ling Xiao originally thought that Wang Dong would continue to persevere, but now it seems that this guy is going to leave, after graduating from college, he is not happy in New York, if it weren't for Zhou Qian, a girl from a good family, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on for a long time.

But now it seems that he has also reached the point of exhaustion.

Ling Xiao's gaze fell on Xu Liang on the side, and he asked with a smile: "Ah Liang, don't you think about thinking about Xiao Wang?" ”

"Forget it, I'm not interested in making a spare tire." Saying that, Xu Liang explained to Zhou Qian: "Xiaoqian, I didn't say what you meant. ”

"It's fine." Zhou Qian didn't care what Xu Liang said, anyway, there was no relationship between her and Wang Dong. Xu Liang saw that Zhou Qian really didn't care, so he turned his head to Ling Xiao and said, "If I am really single in a few years, I may give Xiao Wang a chance, but it's a pity that ......"

It's a pity that Xiao Wang is about to return to China, Ling Xiao understood the meaning of Xu Liang's words, smiled, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this topic, let's have something, I have a treat tonight." After dinner, we went to the nightclub again. ”

"Good!" Xu Liang was the first to laugh, and Zhou Qian did not refuse. In New York, you need to spend money to buy tickets to nightclubs, and the price is expensive, especially for white-collar workers like Xu Liang and Zhou Qian, it is already very good to go once a month.

This night, Ling Xiao played with the two beautiful girls until nearly two o'clock in the evening, and then he sent the two girls back to the shared apartment.

Walking alone on the street with few pedestrians, Ling Xiao returned to the Qingdao Hotel half an hour later.

Standing at the window, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, Ling Xiao looked at a car parked on the side of the street, and a sneer broke out on his face.

I really thought that he didn't see that the car had been following him since Ling Xiao got out of the airport, and he was still waiting outside. You must know that Ling Xiao deliberately called out the two friends today and used them to cover up his identity, but now the other party is still watching him.

So either the news of Holly Robinson asking him for help leaked out, or this is Holly Robinson's people!
