At that moment, all the lights on the Brooklyn Bridge turned on at the same time, and then on the other side of the river-surrounded Manhattan Island, the skyscrapers of the buildings were lit up in colorful lights, and even the torch of the Statue of Liberty on the small island at the mouth of the Hudson River in the distance began to be lit at some point, and the night was full of stars...... The light of the whole world seems to be opened for her alone.

Bai Xinrui stood in the sea of starlight lights in the bright night, and William felt that she was very beautiful, with a Shengxue face, long black straight hair, a long pink neck, and a swaying figure under the tulle skirt and slender pale ankles......

William suddenly couldn't say a word, he just wished that this dream would never have a time to wake up......

"What did I let you carry?" Bai Xinrui's question woke up the petrified William.

William strode up to Bai Xinrui, took out a dark blue velvet box from the pocket of his trench coat, stretched out his hand and handed it over, and said, "I don't know what this is, it's quite heavy." ”

"You can open it now." Her smile was as sweet as honey that could not be dissolved, and it was stained with the charm of the night.

With his slender and clean fingers pulling open the jade* knot ribbon that was as cool as water, William saw an antique ingot-shaped golden lock lying quietly on the soft white silk.

The golden lock in the palm of the palm is heavy, and the cold touch and the chill of the night wind go straight to the bone marrow. His fingertips rubbed the pattern engraved on the lock surface, and although he didn't understand what it meant, he could appreciate the beauty in it. When the cleats were turned over, their names were engraved "William Green" and "Stella Bai" on the back.

"What are you doing with this?" The corners of William's mouth rippled, and he really couldn't figure out the little girl's thoughts.

"A long, long time ago, there was an old man in charge of the marriage in the world, called Yue Lao, he had a treasure called the concentric lock, as long as a pair of men and women were locked by this lock, they were destined to marry, and the life and life would not be separated......" Bai Xinrui's slightly childish voice was as beautiful as fairy music in the wind, and her eyes looked at the quiet night sky through the cable-stayed steel cable on the bridge, telling William a beautiful story.

"Like Cupid's arrow in Greek mythology?" William's voice was warm.

Bai Xinrui's fingers lightly swiped the handwriting between the two overlapping hearts on the lock plate, and explained the meaning to William.

Then, as if by magic, she took out a golden key with a thin gold chain, clicked open the lock, solemnly handed the golden lock to William, and motioned for him to be tied to the bridge.

William understood, and without hesitation, he fastened the concentric lock to a steel cable on the Brooklyn Bridge.

The thin gold chain of the golden key was picked up by Bai Xinrui with one finger, she looked at the dangling key in her hand, looked at William meaningfully, and then, with a wave of her hand, threw it out.

The small body of the golden key passed through the network of interlaced steel cables of the Brooklyn Bridge, flashed in the deep night sky, and drew a faint light like fireflies, and then, in a free-fall attitude, disappeared in an instant into the rolling turbid waves of the East River under the bridge, and could not see anything......

"Why throw it down?" William looked at Bai Xinrui in bewilderment.

"Today, the lock can't be opened, which means we'll never be separated!" The little girl smiled and urged, "Let's go!" It's too late after seven o'clock! ”

Before Bai Xinrui could finish speaking, he pulled William and began to run under the bridge, William was almost stunned by Bai Xinrui's endless new tricks, and strode after her.

"Look, the carousel in Jewel box Houses Jane's Carousel!" As soon as she got off the bridge, Bai Xinrui pointed to a rectangular postmodern glass house and shouted.

At this time, the whole crystal clear glass house is brilliantly lit, under the large umbrella studded with jewels, one after another dazzling wooden horses are spinning and rotating, and the sound of laughter and music comes from the glass house, like a fairy tale world.

Although it was still a cold spring night, the glass house was crowded with people, and the two of them were like two nimble fish, and after a while, they merged into the jubilant flow of people.

Before the guests of the last game were gone, Bai Xinrui ran briskly under the colorful umbrella and found her favorite wooden horse.

"That's it!" She stretched out her hands and climbed onto the golden cable pole of the suspended wooden horse, and playfully walked her body around in a half-circle.

The horse was very beautiful, snow-white, tall and handsome, with lifelike eyes, a raised head and neck, and a gorgeous saddle.

William turned over and jumped on the horse, leaned over like a prince and stretched out a palm to Bai Xinrui, Bai Xinrui took advantage of the strength of William's hand, jumped lightly, and the pink gauze skirt fluttered in front of William, which was the side saddle style for aristocratic ladies in the eighteenth century, reserved and noble, lively and playful.

The music sounded, all the fantastical lights came on, and the white wooden horse began to run up and down in its unchanging circular trajectory.

William's strong arms wrapped around Bai Xinrui's waist, the girl's two slender legs pressed against his, and a pair of delicate gold patent leather high heels were revealed under the skirt. The girl in his arms was as petite and soft as a kitten, and he looked at her dotingly.

The innocence and excitement in the girl's eyes touched him, he felt that he had the most beautiful and unique girl in the world, and he only wanted to love her and protect her, and his arms couldn't help but tighten a little.

Bai Xinrui leaned into the broad shoulders behind her, it was a warm and proper harbor, so that she could give it with her heart, she simply let go of the hands holding the golden cable wooden pole, opened her arms, and screamed happily.

The warm breath passed through the hair, and on the back of Bai Xinrui's neck, leaving a little warmth and humidity on the skin, and the tingling and slightly itchy feeling was very comfortable, making her involuntarily want to laugh, her eyes flashed and her head raised, and a kiss was imprinted on William's cheek.

There must be something magical about this crystal clear gemstone box, which can freeze everyone's happiness and childhood inside.

In Bai Xinrui's eyes, the lights on the Brooklyn Bridge, the neon lights of Manhattan, the starlight of the night sky of New York, and the magical bands of light on the merry-go-round intertwined, enveloping them in a grand fantasy dream.

In a moment of unreal dizziness, William felt as if the wooden horse under him was about to take off, and the fantasy umbrella on his head was gone, replaced by the vast night sky.

Tonight, all ambitions and dreams are within reach.

As soon as she walked out of the gem box, Bai Xinrui's mobile phone rang, she picked it up and looked at it, and it showed "Father".

Is it Dad? Bai Xinrui wondered, how could Dad, a busy man who was busier than Obama, have time to call him? Dad's call was absolutely answered, so she swiped the phone screen and put it to her ear.

"Where?" Huang Yaqian's cold and delicate voice came from the earpiece.

Bai Xinrui's heart chuckled, and she thought to herself, it's not good! It's a hundred secrets, it's really a hundred secrets!

Before she traveled, she blocked the phones of Aunt Yun, the driver, Casey and her mother, and successfully set up several landline phones at home in Shanghai to refuse to answer, but she forgot to block her father's phone.

thought that her father didn't have so much spare time to take care of her own affairs, but she ignored one thing, that is, her mother in Shanghai should be with her father most of the time.

Bai Xinrui's brain was running quickly, and she immediately made a preemptive strike, and said with disgust: "I told you a long time ago that I want to go skiing in Norway to see the aurora in April, and if you don't let it, forget it, after so many days of spring break, you don't accompany me, people are very unhappy!" Do you have something to do with me? ”

"Where?" Huang Yaqian's tone became a little harsh again.

has been fighting wits and courage with Bai Xinrui for so many years, cutting her first and then playing, avoiding the important and light, messing around, and coquettish...... Huang Yaqian is very familiar with those tricks. She has long developed the ability not to go around in circles with you, never fall into traps, and quickly and accurately hit the key points of the problem.

Bai Xinrui was a little weak-hearted, and said strongly: "I don't like Aunt Yun and they follow me all day long, can't they go out and play by themselves?" ”

Huang Yaqian's struggle with Xiao San was going on to a critical juncture, and she didn't have such a good patience to coax her daughter for a while, so she said: "Don't always think that you are eighteen years old!" Don't forget that you have more than four years left to reach adulthood, tell me where you are now? I'll let Aunt Yun fly over to take care of you. ”

"I don't need to take care of it! I had a great time myself! Bai Xinrui protested.

"If you don't say it, if you don't say it, don't blame me for staring at you every day during the summer vacation, don't think about going anywhere!" Huang Yaqian said that there was no room for bargaining at all.

Bai Xinrui sighed helplessly and said three words: "Manhattan." ”

Huang Yaqian knew her daughter's whereabouts, and hung up the phone angrily without saying a word.

William was surprised to see Bai Xinrui sometimes coquettish, sometimes excited, sometimes obediently speaking Chinese that he did not understand, completely without the heroism of the Strand bookstore just now, and without the romance in the jewel box, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Bai Xinrui didn't explain, took William's hand and walked towards the parking lot.

After getting in the car, Bai Xinrui picked up her mobile phone, and while booking a plane ticket, she said, "We have to hurry home and pack our luggage, and we will leave for Los Angeles tonight." ”

William was puzzled and asked, "Los Angeles is far from here, and it will take at least six hours to fly, and it's so late now......

"No matter how late it is, my mom must be calling my babysitter right now and asking her to fly over and watch me, if she does, I'm not free at all!" Bai Xinrui gritted her teeth and said.
