Chapter 1309: Chapter 13 From the Angel (Begging for Monthly Tickets!)
The Harley motorcycle rode on the widest Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
It was already late at night, with few vehicles on the road, but many surrounding buildings were still brightly lit; it seemed that Manhattan, as the capital of the world, had quite a rich nightlife.
Lin Xian exhaled a breath, which instantly turned into a light mist.
This cold wave was indeed fierce, lowering the temperature considerably, perhaps it might really snow soon.
“CC.”
Lin Xian, riding the motorcycle, turned back, looking at the dazzling CC on the back seat, gazing at the Manhattan scenery along the road, breathtakingly beautiful:
“Do you have any place in particular you want to go?”
“Yes!”
CC lifted her head, looking into the distance at the highest point of Manhattan, the skyline visible from any part of the city, currently the tallest man-made structure on Earth —
[Empire State Building]
“Empire State Building.”
CC said softly:
“That’s Manhattan’s highest point, you can take in the entirety of Manhattan… I want to go see it, I want to fully see what the center of the world looks like.”
“No problem.”
Lin Xian smiled like a commanded Aladdin’s Lamp:
“Let’s go now!”
He twisted the throttle.
Continuing forward along Fifth Avenue.
Since the target was the Empire State Building, there was no need for a map or navigation; just a casual glance upward was enough to see the Empire State Building’s majesty standing between heaven and earth.
Especially at night.
Out of consideration for flight safety, the top floor of the Empire State Building was lit brightly, with even the topmost antennae flashing with dazzling blue light… No one would get lost while searching for the Empire State Building because it was always in sight.
“But, it’s so late, can we still go up?”
CC shouted in Lin Xian’s ear, bridal veil fluttering in the night wind:
“At this time… it’s probably already past midnight, can the Empire State Building still let us in?”
“It should be fine.”
Lin Xian recalled chatting on the plane when returning from a competition in Mi Country, saying:
“It’s said the Empire State Building’s observation deck is open until 2 AM, and the last elevator to the observation deck is around 1 AM, so if we hurry, we should still be able to buy observation deck tickets.”
The Empire State Building has a total of 102 floors, and the elevators are in high demand, so it’s not like you can go up to the observation deck to view the scenery as soon as you buy a ticket; you have to wait for the designated observation elevator like waiting for a train.
After spending half an hour.
Lin Xian’s driving skill was in full swing, finally making it to the Empire State Building before 1 AM to check the notice board at the ticket counter…
Sure enough, the tradition hadn’t changed after all these years.
The last elevator to the observation deck was indeed at 1:15 AM.
Glancing at the clock and calendar hanging in the lobby.
October 30, 1952, 12:50 AM.
“Great, we made it just in time.”
He turned around, smiling at CC:
“Good thing I drove fast, sorry for messing up your hair in the wind.”
“Oh, messed up is fine.”
CC smiled slightly, delightful:
“It’s messy anyway, not like we’re showing it to others, as long as we’re happy.”
Lin Xian looked around.
He originally thought that CC, dressed in a wedding gown, would attract a lot of attention and turn heads.
However, unexpectedly.
In free America, perhaps this sort of thing was so commonplace that not many people purposely glanced at CC… at most just a brief glance, then eyes turned away, completely unfazed.
Especially now, already 1 AM, the tourist crowd at the Empire State Building had long dispersed, leaving only a few people in the lobby.
Lin Xian and CC, holding observation deck tickets, walked to the elevator to wait.
The staff was an old gentleman with white hair, who realized upon seeing CC’s outfit:
“Oh! You’re here for night wedding photos, right? You’ve certainly chosen the right place; hardly anyone opts to take wedding photos on top of the Empire State Building… but trust me, kids, this is absolutely the best spot for photos, where you can overlook the entire world!”
He looked at his watch, it was exactly 1:15 AM, giving Lin Xian a wink:
“You’re lucky, sir, tonight’s last elevator ride, just you two. You paid the same ticket price for exclusive access to the entire Empire State Building observation deck, you really lucked out.”
Ding ——
The elevator door opened, and the previous group of observation visitors exited.
After the elevator was emptied.
The staff bowed to Lin Xian and CC:
“Please come in, enjoy this exclusive time.”
Entering the elevator.
Inside was a uniformed woman professionally operating the elevator, who greeted the two and then pressed the observation deck floor button, the elevator gradually accelerating upwards.
This was a fast elevator, very fast, at least faster than any elevator Lin Xian had taken before.
Lin Xian, a bit worried, glanced at CC beside him.
And found…
Truly deserving of the Innate Aerospace Holy Body.
Amidst the discomfort of acceleration and high speed, CC seemed completely unaffected, calmly sorting through her layered wedding dress.
Even though the elevator was so fast, it still took 10 minutes to reach the observation deck floor, showing just how tall the world’s tallest building of this era was.
When the elevator doors opened again, Lin Xian and CC were already hundreds of meters above ground.
The elevator operator rose to send the two off with respect:
“Sir, Madam, the observation deck has arrived, please enjoy it freely, be careful; the observation deck will close at 2 AM, please take the elevator back down then.”
CC had already been impatient.
