Yunding Ranch

Chapter 202 Intimacy
Strictly speaking, the night in New York does not look like night at all. The ubiquitous lights support the entire dark blue sky, and the continuous light makes the whole city look like daytime, even in the early hours of the morning. Walking on the street, the bright streets, turbulent crowds, and excited shouts still present a completely different style of this land.

However, walking in the streets in the early morning and gradually leaving the noisy main street, you can clearly feel that the noise and noise are left behind little by little. The world gradually falls into a quiet process, and the mood gradually calms down. A unique experience.

After going through one party after another, from excitement to exhaustion, from sleepiness to excitement, and from joy to fatigue, Alice and Lu Li truly grasped every minute of the night, wantonly squandering the last days of their school days One night, let the wanton and publicity of youth vigorously and mightily leave their footprints in New York City.

"After you came back, how did your conversation with the 'New York Post' go?" Lu Li and Alice walked on the quiet street, leaving all the hustle and bustle behind. The mottled patterns make people can't help but lower their heads and observe the steps of their own feet, lest their steps destroy this natural artwork.

Alice carefully adjusted her steps, but because of drinking too much, her steps couldn't help but staggered, but she felt relaxed and freehand, walking in the gaps between patterns, like an elegant ballerina, "It's over ,it's all over."

Alice's words didn't have too many regrets, but rather relaxed. She raised her head and saw Lu Li's disgusted expression, which made Alice laugh out loud. Alcohol seemed to amplify her emotions. "I know, it's their regret that they missed me. I think so too." Lu Li raised his right hand high in agreement, and this action made Alice smile again, "I knew that a long time ago. This will be the result, isn't it? After the showdown, it is tantamount to cutting off hope."

If the New York Post wanted to hire Alice, it wouldn't have been ambiguous.

Lu Li shrugged and shook his head again and again, his movements increased because of the alcohol, "But it also means that you have opened up countless opportunities. For example, the 'New York Times' is waiting for you. Let's say,' The Wall Street Journal's been short of staff lately, I hear."

"Haha." Alice smiled happily. "New York Times" and "Wall Street Journal" are more authoritative, powerful, and better-selling media than "New York Post", and the competition is relatively fiercer and crueler.But it was undeniable that what Lu Li said was correct. Instead of hanging himself from a tree, it would be better to give up his remnants and look for opportunities in a wider forest.

Then, Alice proudly raised her chin and nodded gracefully, "Yes, I think so too." The two exchanged glances, and both laughed, "I'm going to try sending out a few more resumes, not only It’s not just New York, other cities will try to see it.”

Fresh graduates often look for opportunities in big cities, especially in journalism.Therefore, generally speaking, everyone is more willing to find a job in New York. This is the largest media capital in the world, and media practitioners from all over the world gather here.The competition is more intense, and correspondingly, the work is more challenging.

However, New York is not the only big city. Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Seattle, Boston, Washington, etc., each city has its own media culture, and it is not inferior to New York.Not to mention leaving North America and focusing on the world.

"It seems that you have to thank me very much." Lu Li puffed out his chest and said solemnly.

Alice's trip to Yunding Ranch broadened her horizons and broadened her mind at the same time, which made her make a decision to change, "I thought that this is my thank you for bringing you to the party tonight."

"Party?" Lu Li showed a heartbroken expression, "So you brought me to the party tonight for a purpose." Lu Li's sighing expression made Alice chuckle. Laughter echoed in the streets, and New York in early autumn seemed to have reappeared the briskness of summer.

Alice's footsteps gradually stopped. Although she was reluctant to part, she still reached her destination after all. They walked slowly along the way and finally arrived at her residence.

Lu Li took another two steps forward, wanting to brake, but alcohol was on his mind, and he couldn't help taking two more steps, and then turned around, "Here we are."

"Yeah, we're here." Alice put her hands behind her back, looked at the yellow halo at the door, and said warmly, "I'm really happy tonight, thank you for your company."

"Phew, it's a good thing that the beer pong game won the final victory. Otherwise, we would have collapsed on the spot after drinking twelve glasses of beer and whiskey. How could there be a party later?" Lu Li's tongue got a little bit louder, "So, we should I thank you, thank you for throwing in two ping pong balls instead of missing all of them."

Alice bit her lower lip lightly and cast a reproachful glance at Lu Li, but in the end she puffed up her chest lightly and said proudly, "I feel the same way. You must thank me for at least giving you a chance." That sly look made Lu Li shake his head happily.

Then Lu Li took out the Venice Carnival mask from behind and handed it to Alice, "Give this to you, anyway, I don't need it at the ranch. But this time, you protected it well, so don't damage it again. "

Alice took the mask, and gently slid her fingertips over the delicate texture of the mask. They bought two masks for the party, but her one was accidentally broken, and she regretted it for a long time. This is tonight important memento.Unexpectedly, Lu Li actually gave her his.

Alice raised her head, put on the mask, and said with a smile, "So are Prince Charming and Cinderella now?"

Lu Li raised his right hand, clenched into a fist, and tapped lightly on the forehead of the mask, "Knock, Cinderella? Your glass slipper is in my hand now. If you still want it, bring it with you before tomorrow." With ten dollars, go to Washington Square, remember, don't call the police, otherwise, hum."

Those joking words made Alice chuckle. Through the mask, one could clearly see Lu Li's deep eyes. The moonlight was reflected in the depths of the eyes, glowing with brilliance. Then Alice took off the mask, and went Taking a stride forward, he stood on tiptoe, raised his head and kissed Lu Li's lips.

Soft, warm, with a faint woody aroma and a little bit of alcohol, it is intoxicating and intoxicating.

Everything was as beautiful as imagined, Alice's heart was beating fast, every cell in her body was screaming, shyness and happiness were like electrification, and passed along the blood to every corner of the body.The thick night behind us seems to have thousands of fireworks blooming at the same time, even more magnificent and colorful than the Fourth of July National Day. The whole night sky is as bright as day, the day in July in midsummer.

The taste of happiness is so good, so good that it melts.

Then Alice took a step back, not even daring to look at Lu Li's face, and ran towards the gate in a flash. Even in the [-]-meter sprint test, her speed was never so fast, and her cheeks were almost on fire. Yes, she rushed into the door of the apartment building, and then quickly closed the door, holding it with her back, breathing heavily, her heart seemed to burst, and her smile couldn't help but rise.

Lu Li was caught off guard by being killed, obviously he did not expect Alice's sudden move.When he reacted, there was only one back of Alice left, looking at the figure of Xiaonizi fleeing in a panic, there was a trace of nervousness in her shyness, a trace of sweetness in her youthfulness, her smile crawled involuntarily. Up the corner of the mouth, up, and up again.

So, what just happened?
There were too many accidents that night, and alcohol must be at work. Alcohol makes people impulsive, joyful, out of control, and crosses boundaries.The boldness and publicity of youth, the wantonness and madness of youth, ferment the intoxicating agarwood in the alcohol.Some ridiculous, but also some beautiful.

A gust of cold wind blew in, causing Lu Li's head to ache. Alcohol surged up the back of his neck, so that he almost couldn't stand still. He staggered half a step back, but the hot breath remaining on his lips became more real and real. Clear, let a person have some nostalgia.

nostalgia

Alice's back was pressed tightly against the door, and the cold door panel finally calmed her emotions down a bit, but the still bubbling flames in her chest never stopped, and the scorching heat made her whole body feel hot.After thinking about it, she opened the door again and shouted to the outside, "Thank you tonight!"

Then, without waiting for Lu Li's response, he closed the door again, with a smile, eyebrows, and eyes full of sweetness, and walked up the stairs briskly.This night was good enough, but the kiss just now lit up the whole world.

"Good night!" Lu Li's voice hoarse from alcohol echoed in the night sky, Alice could faintly hear this response, and laughed briskly, then heard someone push open the window and cursed, " Good night to /you/mom! Do you know what time it is?"

Pfft, Alice laughed outright, and her steps home became more and more brisk.

Lu Li wrinkled his cheeks. He didn't know what time it was. Anyway, it should be late. Then he raised his voice and replied, "Sorry." After saying that, he walked towards the direction he just came from, but After walking a few steps, he realized that he couldn't remember where he parked the car, they had just walked all the way back, so the most sensible choice now was to take a taxi and go home to sleep.

So, Lu Li did just that.On the streets of New York in the early morning, I found a yellow taxi and returned home smoothly. Stepping on the moonlight, I fell into a dream in a daze.

The good times of college, the wanton publicity of youth, the pure simplicity of dreams... Amidst alcohol and laughter, the curtain came to an end.After today, they are about to embark on a new journey.
