The town of Douglaston, northeast of Queens, New York, is surrounded by water on three sides and is picturesque.
This place used to be the world of "old money," but the "new money" that has emerged this year has also begun to converge here.
It was dinner time, and the lights in each house were lit up, embellishing the quiet night of the town.
Next to a pure white villa, Lin Yuan sat under a big tree waiting for Liu Yifei's arrival.
It had been more than ten days since the last trip to Bear Mountain State Park. Lin Yuan had been busy since returning and had not seen her again.
Although the two often talked on the phone, meeting in person was also essential.
In two days, Lin Yuan would join the crew of "Jurassic Park III" to film, which meant that the two would not see each other for a while.
So Lin Yuan chose to meet her tonight.
Lin Yuan looked at the small white villa, which was Liu Yifei's home.
There was a woman at the second-floor window, looking out.
Lin Yuan knew that it was Liu Yifei's mother, but her vision was blocked by the shade of the trees, so she probably couldn't see him.
He would kidnap Liu's good daughter and go out on a date right under her mother's nose.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt a kind of pleasure like a thief in his heart.
This secret date is damn exciting.
Since you're looking for excitement, then...
Impossible! The heat is not yet on!
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Lin Yuan saw Liu Yifei go out, walk out of her mother's sight, and come in front of him.
She was wearing a light pink long trench coat, which made her look generous and neat, while still retaining the cuteness of a girl.
It turns out that girls and pink are the best match.
There was no moon tonight, but Lin Yuan still felt the night was beautiful.
"Xixi, long time no see." He greeted with a smile.
"That again. If you're really sincere, you shouldn't have been gone for so long."
"We are both very busy. Deliberately maintaining the frequency of meeting will make us less intimate. We don't need this." Lin Yuan said sincerely.
Needless to say, Lin Yuan had been very busy recently.
Liu Yifei's schoolwork was also quite heavy.
According to Liu's mother's arrangement, she would complete her studies before the end of next year and return to China to take the entrance examination for the Beijing Film Academy.
This meant that she, who came to the United States in 1997, spent more than four years not only to overcome the language barrier, but also to complete the American curriculum of three years of junior high school and four years of high school, a total of seven years.
Lin Yuan knew that Liu Yifei in the future time and space would follow this life trajectory.
She returned to China in 2001 and used the summer vacation before the start of school at the Beijing Film Academy to shoot "The Story of a Noble Family".
After enrolling in the Beijing Film Academy, she immediately filmed her second TV series "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
Liu Yifei was also a person who was always racing against time. In this respect, she was exactly the same as Lin Yuan in this life.
Both of them had their own pursuits in their careers, so it was impossible for them to meet every day.
But Lin Yuan felt that the current situation was fine. While maintaining an appropriate distance, the two of them not only did not become alienated, but instead cherished every opportunity to meet even more.
"You've become much more eloquent recently than before," said Liu Yifei.
"Is it not good?"
"Let's go, I have to go home before ten o'clock." Liu Yifei did not answer, but took the lead and walked forward.
Lin Yuan caught up with her and walked side by side.
Lin Yuan, who is 1.83 meters tall, and Liu Yifei, who is 1.68 meters tall, have a height that matches perfectly with each other. In addition, both of them are very beautiful, which together form a beautiful landscape.
Just like men like to stare at beautiful women, women have no resistance to handsome men.
When Lin Yuan and Liu Yifei walked together, everyone along the way would inevitably look back.
They are the scenery in the eyes of others, but the scenery in Lin Yuan's eyes is only Liu Yifei.
He looked at her expression, and it seemed that she was not unhappy at all?
Just when Lin Yuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she spoke:
"I saw Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It was really well made. Congratulations. You've made a very successful first step in your acting career."
Lin Yuan was afraid that she would bring up Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. After all, it was better to avoid the risk of sex scenes. He answered cautiously:
"With so many big names around, my role isn't important, and the audience might not even remember me."
"But your play is very eye-catching!"
"No way..." Lin Yuan felt that there was something else behind her words.
"It's just that passionate scene, it's nothing. You're an actor, this is your professionalism. Do you think I'd be angry?"
Liu Yifei said this with a smile. Her expression was natural and she didn't look angry at all.
After saying that, she turned around and walked forward.
Lin Yuan followed behind her, looking at her slim back.
He should have completely let go of his uneasy mood, but he felt a little lost.
Liu Yifei was not jealous at all, but he felt uncomfortable instead.
Realizing his own thoughts, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: Isn't it good for others to be reasonable and considerate? Do you have to be jealous to be happy?
But at this moment, Liu Yifei in front suddenly stopped.
Lin Yuan also stopped and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"She's so pretty!"
"Ordinary ones look good." Lin Yuan was not stupid enough to exaggerate how pretty Zhang Ziyi was in front of her.
"I haven't told you who it is yet!"
"…"
I let my guard down for a moment and fell into the pit!
The next question should either be "How do you know who I'm talking about?" or "Who is prettier, me or her?"
Lin Yuan immediately tensed up, and several response options flashed through his mind.
"You've been more talkative lately than before. There must be more women who like you, right?"
Oh my god, it turns out that what I said when we first met tonight was a trap I had been waiting for.
No, why don't you play by the rules and instead play call back?
"No women. I've been dealing with tall, rough men lately." Lin Yuan certainly couldn't admit it.
Liu Yifei said nothing, and the two of them just stood there quietly.
After a while, she finally said, "I'm a little angry."
"It should be."
"No, I'm angry at myself. I promised myself to be tolerant and not be angry with you, but I still can't help but get angry."
She pouted, looking very aggrieved.
In Lin Yuan's eyes, this scene was simply adorable.
The previous loss has disappeared. Is there really a woman who is so considerate and jealous in a proper way?
What kind of sci-fi movie is this! It beats The Three-Body Problem!
Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, it was you who caused it. Let me hit you a few times, and I won't be angry anymore."
"Okay, as long as it makes you feel better, please hammer as hard as you can."
With Lin Yuan's current physical condition, being hit by her a few times could be considered as a tickle.
Liu Yifei did not approach him, but walked in the opposite direction and kept her distance.
A few punches aren't enough to vent your anger?
Ready to run over and give a flying kick?
While Lin Yuan was confused, Liu Yifei followed his shadow and came to the head of the long shadow under the street light.
Then she stomped hard on Shadow's head twice.
"Snap! Snap!" The sound is really loud.
She was still not satisfied after that, so she jumped up and stepped heavily on Lin Yuan's shadow a few more times.
Then she smiled happily and said, "I feel relieved now. I can't bear to really hit you, so this is the only way to vent my anger!"
"Why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you angry?" asked the celestial being.
Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of doting.
The celestial being took two steps, and the two shadows overlapped.
Then she stretched out her hand, and from the shadow it looked as if the two of them hugged.
Her eyes smiled like the crescent moon: "I've already comforted you, don't be angry anymore!"
Looking at the figure not far away, Lin Yuan felt his heart melt. How could she be so cute?
