Chapter 1308: Chapter 12 Our Manhattan (Please vote with monthly tickets!)_3
The female shop assistant nodded like a chick pecking at grains:
“It’s my fault, it’s my fault, I forgot to do makeup for you! Although you’re naturally beautiful, a little makeup is needed to complement the wedding dress, along with hair accessories.”
“Miss, please follow me, I’ll cleanse your face and then apply some makeup.”
After some hustle and bustle.
When CC coyly pursed her lips and walked out of the dressing room again, she was already wearing the most exquisite white wedding dress, her hair styled, and her already fair and delicate face dazzling with the addition of makeup, like an elf accidentally descending to the mortal world.
“Do I… look good?”
For the first time wearing makeup, CC felt very insecure and carefully asked Lin Xian.
Lin Xian silently looked at the girl in front of him.
It was once Chu Anqing in a sky-blue evening dress, waltzing with him at the Donghai Chamber of Commerce’s New Year’s banquet…
Same style, same cuteness, just missing the confidence and grace unique to the little princess of the East Sea.
“Beautiful.”
Lin Xian said honestly:
“Absolutely stunning.”
CC’s face instantly lit up with joy, her eyes smiling like two crescent moons, and a small dimple appeared near her lips:
“Then this is it! I really like this set!”
The male and female shop assistants collectively breathed a sigh of relief:
“Sir, we’ll pack this wedding dress right away.”
“No, there’s no need to pack it.”
Lin Xian stood up from the guest chair.
He picked up the black top hat on the coffee table beside him and placed it on his head:
“Just wear it like this, CC, let’s go.”
Vroom——————
The roaring Harley motorcycle raced down Brooklyn Boulevard at over 100 mph.
In front, was Lin Xian dressed in black; behind him, clinging to him, was CC wearing a white long-tail wedding dress.
The billowing white skirt tail danced wildly in the night, like the tail of a comet, carrying hope and dreams towards the dreamlike metropolis, the center of the world, New York Manhattan.
Despite it being night, CC felt as if Manhattan ahead was bathed in sunlight, radiating brilliantly.
She lifted her head from Lin Xian’s back.
Looking at the Brooklyn Bridge ahead, gazing at Manhattan within reach.
Close.
So close.
On the other side of Brooklyn Bridge is the towering Manhattan.
This barrier.
This heavenly condemnation between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
She was finally going to cross it!
Brooklyn Bridge…
It’s really just a bridge!
“CC! Are you ready?”
Lin Xian gripped the throttle, smiling back:
“Brooklyn Bridge, we’re going to dash across it! Across the bridge… is Manhattan!”
“Mm!”
CC bit her lip.
A thousand emotions surged inside her, yet none could find words, transforming into sparkling tears, drifting in the last sea breeze of Brooklyn.
She straightened up.
Clenched her teeth.
Pressed her palms against Lin Xian’s shoulders.
Standing directly from the motorcycle’s back seat!
She watched the approaching lights and neon.
Recalled the beauty of the orphanage,
Recalled wandering the streets of Brooklyn,
Recalled gazing from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade,
Recalled the bedding in the inn,
Recalled the aroma of the first bite of hot dog,
Recalled the highest point of the Ferris wheel, overlooking this seemingly lifelong unescapable city—
“Charge!!”
CC cried out to the vast bridge and sea:
“Brooklin!!!”
Vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom!
Lin Xian twisted the motorcycle throttle fully open.
The roaring Harley motorcycle soared skyward at the Brooklyn Bridge boundary!
After a brief moment airborne, it landed on the steel bridge deck, charging toward the center of the world with unstoppable momentum.
This century-old steel bridge, tens of thousands of thick steel cables suspending it above the water, could no longer hold back the dreams of a 19-year-old girl.
The antenna at the top of the Empire State Building was like a beacon, welcoming the arrival of the Brooklyn King!
Tick-tock…
Tick-tock…
Tick-tock…
The motorcycle traveled at extreme speed to the middle of the bridge.
Lin Xian felt drops of water trickling down his neck.
Warm drops.
Flowing through his collar, over his chest.
He slowed down the motorcycle.
Turned back.
Found CC standing behind him, her face already covered in tears, her makeup smeared.
Even though she bit her lip.
Her eyes, reflecting the bright skyline of Manhattan, were already filled with a stream of tears.
“I… I’m okay.”
CC wiped her eyes:
“I wasn’t crying.”
She shook her head:
“I really wasn’t crying.”
She took a deep breath and showed Lin Xian an authentic, happy smile:
“These are tears of joy!”
CC lowered her head:
“Lin Xian, now I believe you, you really do know magic.”
Lin Xian operated the motorcycle, smiling subtly:
“Riding a motorcycle seems not to need any magic, Brooklyn Bridge has been here for 100 years, it’s not something I conjured.”
CC lowered her body, sat back down on the motorcycle’s rear seat.
Then she wrapped her arms around Lin Xian’s waist again, her tear-stained face pressed against Lin Xian’s broad back, on the black wool coat:
“But for me, this is magic, the most beautiful miracle in the world.”
She closed her eyes, softly said:
“[Meeting you… is the luck of my life.]”
