Chapter 84

I was anxious, but I couldn't make it too obvious, otherwise the sudden contrast would definitely make the two girls suspicious.

The most important thing is that Xiaoru and Yuzhen skipped class and followed him all the way to New York, running around with him all day to work.Zhao Youzhen is better, after all, the school season has only just started, and there is not much pressure from schoolwork.On Xu Yiru's side, several papers and final exam review were pressed together, so that on the way back, when he fell asleep leaning against the car door, he was muttering words, all about McLuhan, "the medium is the information" Class preparation content.

"Always like this?"

Zhao Youzhen looked at Xu Yiru who was curled up into a ball, and asked Han Yi softly.

"No... No, how do I know."

Han Yi glanced at the rearview mirror, full of breathing voices, no chest voice, for fear of disturbing Xiaoru's rest.

"I haven't seen how she sleeps."

...in fact, I have seen it.

But how can you say such terrible words.

"It's quite hard work." Zhao Youzhen nodded, and then glanced at Xiaoru who was smacking her mouth.

"Seven courses, you would do the same." Han Yi shrugged and said.

"Seven gates?" Zhao Youzhen frowned slightly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

When they met for the first time at the welcome party, Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen chatted a lot and exchanged sufficient information, but it did not include studies.Firstly, this topic was not what the two of them were most concerned about at the time, and secondly, the strong and low-key Xiao Ru would not go around complaining to the National People's Congress.

"She wants to graduate early." Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes moved from the right side of the rearview mirror to the left side, looking at Xu Yiru who was still sleeping soundly, "Help mom relieve stress."

"Understood." Zhao Youzhen was slightly taken aback, his eyes slowly melted like ice meeting spring water, and became softer.

"Then...you have to take her to have a good meal."

"The way you encourage people is to eat, right?"

Han Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"You want to eat, right? Compared to last time, do you feel that your stomach has been treated badly?"

"Why, can't you?" Zhao Youzhen leaned forward, his tone full of accusation, but his brows and eyes were full of smiles, "You can sign back a Madison, shouldn't you buy me some food?"

"Speak as if you're not your artist."

Han Yi muttered, but he had already made plans for his leisure arrangements in Manhattan after work.

Emotionally and rationally, this trip to New York should be painted with an unforgettable bright color for them.

Therefore, after passing through the toll undersea tunnel in Midtown Queens, Han Yi did not turn right directly and headed towards the Central Park Pierre Hotel, but turned left at Second Avenue.After being stuck in traffic for nearly 15 minutes, I turned right into East 31st Street and followed the Thursday night rush hour traffic in Manhattan to the west.

Any visitor to New York should keep in mind that the hours from [-]am to [-]am and from [-]pm to [-]pm are called rush hours.

If you can't drive, don't drive.

If driving is unavoidable, avoid north-south arterials such as Madison Avenue, Fifth Avenue, and Park Avenue, and take advantage of east-west digital trails.Although it will be slower, there will not be so much traffic in these narrow streets and alleys, and they will still allow you to reach your destination within the set time.

Of course, why is it not recommended for anyone to drive in New York, in addition to the overwhelmed road traffic system that has been used for more than a hundred years since the opening of the port, and the high rate caused by the serious insufficient design capacity of parking spaces.In New York, parking fees of as much as $5 an hour are the norm, and anyone who hears such charges will frown with distress.

Except for Han Yi, who just learned that he has 15.99 billion US dollars deposited in the Carlyle Group.

He doesn't need to care about parking fees. In fact, Han Yi can even skip the queuing process that ordinary diners have to go through when visiting popular restaurants.

Instead of bothering Olivia Rodriguez in Los Angeles, the concierge at Hotel Pierre Les Clefs d'Or can help him with the tight seats at most restaurants in New York.

At 19:13, during the busiest dining period, they walked into Gaonnuri, a Korean barbecue restaurant located at the junction of West 31st Street and Broadway Avenue. The Asian waiter ushered them in to the best 270-degree view at the corner of the restaurant. .

Looking north, you can see the bustling and crowded Herald Square at the bottom of your feet. The iconic dark red signboard of Macy’s is clearly visible on the left. headquarters.Extending forward, you can have a panoramic view of the elite buildings in Midtown Manhattan, such as Times Square and Rockefeller Center, shining in the night with fiery brilliance.

Looking further to the west, the skyline is even more amazing. From Chelsea to Soho, Tribeca, downtown, and finally ending at One World Trade Center on Wall Street, all the majestic and beautiful man-made landscapes of New York can be seen inadvertently. Looking back, it came into view.

Not to mention, the view of the bar area and waiting area when I entered the door just now.The Empire State Building is just one street away. Watching this masterpiece of Art Deco style up close will give you a sense of majesty in the temple of the sky.

Such an impeccable environment, coupled with a table full of steaming and even sizzling Far Eastern cuisine, is simply a dining experience tailored for these three hungry Asian stomachs.

Originally thought that he could sit down and chew immediately, but Han Yi ignored a very important point.

What is the most integral part of an Asian dining experience, especially with two Asian girls?
Take pictures.

I took a lot of beautiful photos with the characters in front and the scenery blurred in the back.

Otherwise, where do you think that there are so many posts on Instagram?
On the account named Grace Hsu, apart from the scenery of traveling around, there are Xu Yiru's perfect smiles, and the two are combined in an obviously carefully considered arrangement.The selfie of leaning on the railing on the cruise ship from Kaohsiung to Hong Kong, the charming appearance of sipping iced tea by the infinity pool of the Sands Hotel in Singapore, and of course, the one in the Orangery Museum wearing the cute little red riding hood in her favorite Paris Group photo in front of "Water Lilies".

A series of unpretentious travel photos connects the traces of youth from the use of social media.

I haven't done any promotion, and I'm not a public figure, but even so, Xiaoru's Instagram now has 12.9 real fans.

After all, he is a ruthless character with tens of millions of Instagram fans in later generations.

As for Zhao Youzhen, although her circle of friends is extremely clean, even her profile pictures are old-fashioned landscape photos, but this does not mean that she does not have the normal pursuit of beauty for girls.Unlike Xu Yiru who was praised since she was a child, Zhao Youzhen's incomparable appearance is the fruit of her hard work.

From this point of view, Yoo Jin cherishes her appearance even more.

It's just that this kind of cherishing is entirely out of appreciation for one's own talent and diligence. In Zhao Youzhen's view, there is absolutely no need for outsiders to appreciate it. YooJin95's private account is full of her most satisfying portrait photos, without typesetting, it will make people unable to take their eyes off.

Xu Yiru's Instagram is colorful, like a representative work of Mel Bochner.And Zhao Youzhen's homepage is more like Joseph Havel's installation art, full of powerful simplicity and artistic uniqueness.Whether it is a landscape or a portrait, it is almost all modulated by a black and white filter.Even if it is a color photo that has not been processed, the elements presented in the photo frame are quite simple.

For example, one of Han Yi's favorite photos is the timed selfie of Yoo Jin at the Park Hyatt Hotel in New York.Sitting in front of the bay window, she put her hands on her knees and looked at the camera indifferently, with the snowy scenery of Central Park behind her.There is no need to dress up too much, and you don't even need to put on a pose. Just with your soul-stirring peach blossom eyes, it is enough to make people lose their minds in the quiet but strong impact of the picture.

If she is willing to disclose her account, the number of fans will be equal to Xiaoru's in a matter of minutes.

The night view of Manhattan is so wonderful, the number of times the two girls are looked at by restaurant diners is several times higher than that of Times Square at the far end.Under such circumstances, even Han Yi felt that if they were not allowed to take pictures to their fullest, eating the meal would be equivalent to not eating.

Han Yi himself doesn't like taking pictures very much, but he is good at taking pictures for others, especially portraits suitable for Instagram.Speaking of which, it was Xiao Ru who had been helping him hone his skills.Although this is the first time for the two to travel together, most of Xu Yiru's photos in LA are handwritten by photographer Han Da.

Of course, Xiaoru was satisfied with the apprentices who taught them personally, and Yuzhen, who rarely had someone to help take pictures, was also amazed at Han Yi's composition.

"It's... pretty good." Swipe your fingertips across the screen, looking at the photos Han Yi took of her, the dimples on Youzhen's cheeks reappeared.

She is on the left side of the frame, looking towards the direction of the Empire State Building. The bright night scene outside the window outlines a suffocating and fatal curve for her.

This is true from the tip of the nose to the lower jaw to the half of the body.

Proportion, beauty and artistic conception.

After thinking for a while, Yuzhen opened WeChat, clicked to upload the profile picture, and made the landscape picture ancient.

"Yiyi, take a look, which of these two filters is better?"

Like Zhao Youzhen, Xu Yiru doesn't retouch the pictures, in fact, the two of them don't need to retouch the pictures at all.Whether it is the facial features or the whole body, any repair will destroy the original beauty.

Xiaoru put the phone in front of Han Yi, swipe left and right with his fingers, and showed Han Yi two photos in which he could not tell the difference at all, and could only judge the difference in color by intuition.

In the picture, Xiao Ru clasped her hands beside her face, looking directly at the camera gently, her smile covered the standard eight white teeth of a Taiwanese girl.

"This... Zhang, right?"

Han Yi randomly clicked on one and said uncertainly.

"Okay, just this one."

Xu Yiru nodded, and switched between several softwares extremely neatly. Soon, friends on Facebook, Instagram, WeChat and Line all saw Xiaoru's latest beautiful photos.

"Finally done..."

Xiaoru let out a long sigh of relief, looked down at the dining table, and found that nearly half of the silver plates had disappeared from the table that was already full.

Looking at Han Yi, then at Zhao Youzhen, both of them were chewing the barbecue, but it was obvious that the latter's lips were much more shiny.

"... what he ate."

No one asked, but Yuzhen, who had a reddish complexion, still pointed to the remains of ribs piled up into a hill between her and Han Yi, and explained softly.

"……Correct."

Han Yi choked for a long time and couldn't speak. He took a sip of hot tea before sighing quietly.

"I stepped on the accelerator too much, and my body was exhausted."

Zhao Youzhen, who lowered his head and suppressed a smile, almost spit out the kimchi soup he just ate.

While there were some mysteries lingering at the table about who emptied most of the roasts, on the whole it was a feast of spectacle for everyone to enjoy after a long day of travelling.

Looking at the flashing red aviation lights on the spire of Times Square, chatting about studies, work and life, it was close to 09:30, and the dinner time for the three of them officially ended.When they stepped into the main entrance of the Pierre Hotel, the hour hand had already pointed to ten o'clock.

"I'm a little tired after driving all day."

Back in the suite, Han Yi, who had something important to worry about, quickly found an ingenious reason and walked back to his bedroom.

"I have to interview the person in charge of the asset management department tomorrow...I'm going to sleep first."

With such a high-sounding reason, Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen naturally wouldn't raise any objections, and both of them returned to their respective rooms, announcing the end of this busy day in the Big Apple.

After closing the door, Xu Yiru took out her Macbook, put it on the desk, and continued to finish her graduation thesis.But Manhattan is really not a good place to write carefully, especially at night, especially on Fifth Avenue, especially in this Getty suite, which is only ten floors above the ground.

The horns of the anxious drivers, the looming singing and laughter of the drunks, and the NYPD siren whizzing by, all the noises converged in one place, making Xiao Ru's mind into a mess.

In the morning, I witnessed Han Yi signing a contract with a rising star with several million fans. In the afternoon, I drank afternoon tea leisurely in the century mansion in Southampton. A barbecue feast that satisfies the taste buds...

And now, near the early morning, I have to catch up with seven pages of communication thesis.

No matter what angle you look at, Xu Yiru has a strange feeling that two separate lives are being stitched together.

There are too many messy and trivial thoughts, but very few words that can fall on the keyboard.After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yiru sighed while staring at the notebook screen that was still stuck on the first page of the new document, rubbed her swollen temples, stood up, opened the door, and walked towards the balcony connected to the living room.

Breathe in, be blown by the cool wind in early summer in New York, and embrace the city neon lights flashing and jumping in the night sky, maybe you can get some inspiration.

When passing by the mini bar hidden in the dark solid wood cabinet to the left of the LCD TV, Xu Yiru paused and glanced thoughtfully, as if a bold idea was forming in his mind.But within a few seconds, Xiaoru threw this somewhat reckless impulse out of the thinking world.

It's okay, let's get some air.

To Xu Yiru's surprise, she was not the only visitor to the spacious terrace of the Getty suite.When she stepped into this outdoor space, Zhao Youzhen sat under the light blue parasol, turned slightly to the left, and stared intently at the Central Park and the far Upper West Side under the night sky.

"Youzhen?"

Xu Yiru held the door frame and greeted softly.

"Can't sleep?"

"Ah."

Zhao Youzhen turned his head, showing a very shallow smile, and raised the glass that was tightly held in his right hand, which was filled with a little colorless liquid.

"Want a drink?"
