Central Park is one of the landmarks of the New York metropolis and a historical place. It is the filming location of many movies and attracts tens of millions of tourists every year.
The Hilton Hotel where Chen Feng and Brina stayed this time is just south of Central Park. Standing in front of the window of the presidential suite, you can overlook the entire rectangular Central Park, and a sense of capitalist indulgence and wealth rushes into your face.
Brina, who was standing next to Chen Feng, said excitedly: "How about we go for a run in Central Park early tomorrow morning?"
Chen Feng was very moved when he heard this and nodded immediately: "Okay, let's get up early tomorrow."
"Okay, let's do it at eight o'clock in the morning."
"Eight o'clock is a bit late. It's seven o'clock."
"So early?"
"Of course you have to run earlier in the morning."
"Okay, then you can call me."
The two of them agreed to go for a morning jog in Central Park at their feet tomorrow, and couldn't help but start taking pictures.
Even Chen Feng, a straight man who doesn't like taking pictures very much, couldn't help but pick up his phone and snap a lot of photos when he looked at the beautiful scenery of the park.
Not to mention Brina, she first took selfies for a while, then took several group photos with Chen Feng, and finally asked Chen Feng to take at least a dozen separate photos for her.
Then, like most girls, she selected a few photos that she thought were the most beautiful from the many photos she had just taken and retouched them. After finishing them, she posted them to her own major social platforms, especially Instagram.
They sent out more than a dozen photos, including a photo of her and Chen Feng.
It immediately attracted many likes from relatives and friends.
Chen Feng ignored her and ordered room service, ordered something he and Brina liked, and then went to take a shower.
When he came out from the shower, everything he ordered had been delivered.
There are two Chinese dishes, sweet and sour pork ribs and Kung Pao chicken, as well as a large bowl of rice.
The remaining six dishes are all Western food, as well as bread, burgers, and a bottle of red wine.
Before eating, Brina took several more photos of the food on the table, then poured a glass of wine for Chen Feng and herself, specially lit a few candles, and had a candlelight dinner with Chen Feng
.
"My dear, I am so happy tonight. This is the first time I have a candlelight dinner with you."
Brina held her chin with her hands and looked at Chen Feng lovingly. Her gentle eyes were rippling like water under the candlelight.
Chen Feng couldn't stand her gaze, mainly because he was afraid that she would love him too deeply and he would be in trouble if he couldn't get rid of her.
"All this you want is because of money. Without money, you can't afford to live in this presidential suite, let alone have this candlelight dinner."
These words were a bit off-putting, but they were exactly what Chen Feng wanted.
Brynna's gentle and watery gaze also became somewhat restrained because of this.
"Anyway, this is our first candlelight dinner, and it's worth remembering. Come on, let's have a drink."
Brina raised her glass to Chen Feng.
When Chen Feng saw this, he didn't say any more offensive words. He raised his glass, touched it to her gently, and then took a sip.
But Brina drank almost half of the goblet of red wine in one go.
Chen Feng didn't say anything to stop her, he just looked at her quietly.
"It feels good. I haven't drank like this for a long time." Brina wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and looked at Chen Feng, "Why don't you drink? When you people from the Dragon Kingdom drink and toast, don't you drink it all in one go?"
"That's not absolute." Chen Feng argued, "It doesn't mean that every time you clink glasses and say cheers, you have to drink them all."
Brina was not easy to fool, and said: "But like we just did, when we clinked glasses and said cheers for the first time, shouldn't we all drink them up?"
The rules at Longguo Winery are pretty much the same.
The first time you clink glasses with someone and say cheers, and you only take a small sip after the other person drinks, it is definitely rude, especially if they are of similar status.
"Okay, it's just the two of us, there's no need to be so serious. Wine is not a good thing, so don't drink too much."
"But this is our first candlelight dinner. When we say cheers, you should drink all the wine in the glass like me. Only then will it be complete."
Apparently Brynna has some obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
Chen Feng didn't want to hear her nagging, so he raised his glass and drank all the wine in one go.
Brina clapped her hands happily and said, "Okay, let's all toast, this is perfect."
When Chen Feng saw her like this, although he didn't want to spoil the fun, he couldn't help but said: "Okay, let's eat first. I'm already hungry."
Next, Chen Feng ignored her and picked up his rice bowl and started eating hard.
Seeing this, Brina followed suit and concentrated on eating dinner.
It only took Chen Feng ten minutes to finish his meal. Then he stood up and said to Brina, "Eat slowly," and went to sit on the sofa in the living room to watch TV.
After Brina glanced at Chen Feng with some disappointment, she no longer had the intention to continue eating. After cleaning up her food for a while, she followed over and sat down next to Chen Feng.
"You said you wanted to play here for two or three days, so you have to keep your word."
Brynna was next to Chen Feng's body, leaning half of her body against him, and resting her head on his shoulder.
Chen Feng glanced at her sideways and said, "I'll stay here for three days at most, and then fly directly to San Diego. You can go back to Los Angeles by yourself, is that okay?"
Brina said happily: "Of course it's no problem. I'll go to San Diego to meet you next weekend."
Chen Feng shook his head slightly and said, "How can you study hard and graduate early like this?"
This time, Chen Feng originally only wanted to play for two days and go back on Sunday afternoon the day after tomorrow, but Brina was obviously not very willing. She argued with Chen Feng in the car and finally made Chen Feng agree to stay here for one more day. Next Monday
Just left.
"Don't worry, my academic performance is very good. I will definitely graduate before July next year."
The two of them were watching TV and talking about things. Mainly, Brina was talking about the places to visit here and the famous gourmet restaurants.
More than an hour later, it was almost 7:30 in the evening. It was just when the sun was setting here in New York. The sunset in the west was shining from the clouds. You could see clearly through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of their presidential suite.
Clearly.
Brina exclaimed when she saw this, and immediately took pictures with her mobile phone.
Ten minutes later, the sun officially set, the sunset gradually dispersed, and night began to fall.
"The sunset here is so beautiful. I took a video just now. I really want to stay here for a few more days."
Brina said with emotion while looking at the photos taken on her mobile phone.
Chen Feng also took a few photos just now. Although he thought they were beautiful, there was nothing to sigh about. He just said: "When you have money, just buy a house here."
Brianna smiled bitterly and said: "This is a prime location, and the housing prices are ridiculously expensive. A better house costs tens of millions of dollars, and I can't afford it."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "How about I give you a set before I make money?"
Brina thought he was joking, so she smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you buy me a large flat here with a view, I will be your lover for life."
Chen Feng immediately put away his smile and said, "If you say that, I wouldn't dare buy it for you."
Brina curled her lips and said, "What do you mean by that? Do you not want me to be your lifelong lover?"
Chen Feng nodded and said seriously: "Of course. You and I both know that there will be no results for us in the future, and we cannot be together forever."
Brina gritted her teeth and said, "You really sound like a scumbag when you say this."
Chen Feng was not angry, and smiled and said: "I have been honest with you from the beginning, haven't I? I don't want to lie to you."
"But if you say such words here at this time, you do it on purpose. You don't want to be with me for a long time." Brina said a little aggrievedly.
Chen Feng couldn't deny this. He sighed softly and said honestly: "I'm just a little worried that you will really fall in love with me. In that case, I will feel guilty. I'm even more afraid that you won't be able to get out. Don't
Forgot, when we started, you said we were just having fun."
After hearing what he said, Brina felt a little angry, but also a little understanding, but more of aggrieved. Wei Wei said with a sad face: "At the beginning, I really just wanted to have fun, but now that we have been together for so long, you still
Do you think it’s just for fun?”
Chen Feng spread his hands and said helplessly: "This is what I have been worried about. If you are serious about playing with me, or even want to have a relationship, it will only bother you and me."
Brina said with a slightly straight face: "I just want to maintain our current relationship with you for a long time, and I don't mean to hold you responsible. I have never thought about marrying you, so don't worry, there is no need to worry.
What."
After Chen Feng heard what she said, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He was afraid that if she wanted to fall in love with him, or even talk about marriage, he would definitely not be able to agree to it, and he would not be able to bear it.
"If you really think so, I'll be relieved." Chen Feng said with a smile, "Some things must be explained clearly and discussed in advance to avoid misunderstandings or even grudges in the future."
Brina said with a complicated expression: "Even if you don't want me in the future, I won't blame you."
Chen Feng said seriously: "What do you mean I don't want you? Our current relationship is based on mutual equality and mutual respect. No matter which party wants to end the relationship with the other party, they can unilaterally inform the other party in advance. This is fair."
Brina smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Okay, I don't want to talk about this anymore, I'm going to take a shower."
After saying that, she lowered her head slightly and went to the bathroom with a disappointed expression.
Chen Feng felt a little guilty when he saw her like this, but as he just said, sometimes things must be explained clearly in advance. This is good for both parties. It is better to make her feel depressed now than to have her die in the future.
Live a good life as a shark.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Feng calmed down and continued watching TV.
The TV programs here are quite exciting, especially some talk shows, which do have a certain charm of language. No wonder people here like them so much, and Chen Feng can also learn spoken English.
Not long after watching this talk show, a phone call came. When he saw that the number was Zhou Qianru, whom he had not contacted for a while, he answered it easily.
Zhou Qianru opened her mouth and asked: "Chen Feng, are you and Linna now in New York?"
Chen Feng knew that she must have seen the WeChat Moments posted by Brina before.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Chen Feng asked directly.
Zhou Qianru asked resentfully: "You have time to go to New York, but why don't you have time to come to Houston?"
Chen Feng said: "I came to New York on business."
"What could be wrong?" Zhou Qianru obviously didn't believe it.
"It's really something." Chen Feng was a little impatient, "Is that why you called me to tell me this?"
"I want to ask you when will you come to Houston?" Zhou Qianru obviously heard Chen Feng's tone, and her attitude softened immediately, with some grievance in her voice.
Chen Feng frowned slightly when he heard this, thinking to himself, what is my relationship with you now? Do you want to be like this?
But no matter what, the two of them had an easy time at the beginning, and their past friendship can never be erased.
In addition, considering that she was still ill and in a foreign country, Chen Feng could understand, so he softened his tone and said: "I don't have time to go there at the moment. If you really want to see me, you can fly to San Diego someday when you are free.
Meet me. I'll be back in San Diego in two days."
After Zhou Qianru was silent for a while, she said: "Then let me think about it. I will just go for a review about once a month and it will be fine."
"Then you can fly there then. I may have to stay in San Diego for ten and a half days."
"Well, then I'll think about it again. I'll go check it out in two days and then we'll talk about it."
"Okay. If you want to go to San Diego then, just contact me."
"Well, I understand."
…
Afterwards, the two of them didn't talk much. Chen Feng hung up the phone on the pretext of going to take a shower.
Then he checked WeChat again. When he was talking to Zhou Qianru just now, Molly sent several messages.
Chen Feng clicked on it and saw that it was a photo of her grandfather William Lampson's birthday party. He sent several photos in a row, and the last one also had a group photo of the Lampson family.
The crowd seemed quite prosperous, with as many as fifty or sixty people.
Of course, it's not just people from her grandfather's lineage. After all, her grandfather has several other brothers and sisters. Of course, they are also spreading their branches and multiplying. In addition, there are daughters and sons-in-law, granddaughters and grandsons-in-law, and granddaughters and grandsons-in-law.
There are more like that.
In short, this is a big family with not only a lot of money, but also a lot of people.
Chen Feng originally didn't want to reply, but she sent a new message: [I will go find you after the banquet is over]
Chen Feng could only reply immediately: [Don’t you know that Lina and I are together? Why are you here? 】
[I miss you. I’ll get a room downstairs from you. Just come and find me later]
Chen Feng was speechless, thinking to himself, do you really want to be like this? It feels like a widow who has been widowed for more than ten years, and your behavior is too ungrateful.
Chen Feng couldn't refuse directly. After all, the other party was very enthusiastic, so he politely said: [I'm tired, I want to go to bed early tonight]
【What about tomorrow night?】
【let's discuss it later】
[…Then I’ll take it as your consent. I’ll go to your downstairs to get a room to stay tonight]
Chen Feng couldn't bear it anymore. He refused so politely. She even rushed over to cling to him, so she said directly: "I think you are too clingy. This is not good. Don't forget, we are just having fun."
After a while, the message came back: [I understand]
After a while, Chen Feng felt relieved when he saw that no more messages were sent.
Some things must be made clear from the beginning, and they must be cut off when necessary, but this cannot be done with the kindness of a woman.
