    ?

    It was raining in San Francisco in the early morning.  The rustling raindrops smashed into interfering ripples on the stone pavement.  The morning mist is hazy, whether it is the majestic church with the big clock hanging, the old streets extending in all directions, or even the steam rail cars parked beside the road are covered with a layer of cold moisture.

    Almost all the steam airships in the central square of the city are produced and operated by an airship company called Dickney.

    Dickney's original project plan was that for ten dollars, he could fly the entire San Francisco in a circle.  They threatened that the steam airship can still fly normally even in the harsh environment of thunderstorms, and it operates 24 hours a day. The work of maintenance and refueling is carried out in the sky, known as the "Dickney that never falls."

    But because of the high cost, the business has been empty since its opening.  Later, Dickney changed his thinking and opened up the sky poster advertising business, and even played the gimmick of sky restaurant and business reception, and finally revitalized the steam airship business.

    Because it was early in the morning, there were not many guests on the airship at this time.

    Dorothy was wearing Li Yan's black dress coat, sitting at the round table by the railing, her soft red hair was blown up slightly by the icy wind.

    She rested her elbows on the table, shaking the spoon in the cup absently, staring at Li Yan's side face opposite her, and yawned with her mouth covered.

    "If you are tired, I can take you back to the hotel."

    Li Yan withdrew his gaze overlooking the surface.

    Dorothy raised her coffee cup, nibbled on the edge of the cup, and said vaguely, "Your blue sweater is quite handsome."

    "Thanks."

    Li Yan looked down at his sweater: "I used to have a windbreaker that I liked very much, but unfortunately it was so torn that I couldn't wear it anymore."

    "I think blue is better, it will make you look more" Dorothy considered the wording: "Much softer."

    Li Yan stared at Dorothy's face for a while, then shook his head: "With all due respect, I have never been a gentle person."

    "No, I mean"

    "Dorothy, have you ever heard of such a saying? When a person crosses the suspension bridge with fear, his heart beats involuntarily. If another person happens to appear at this time, the party B who is crossing the suspension bridge will mistake this  Heartbeat, mistaking it as a good impression of the other party."

    Li Yan interrupted Dorothy.

    Dorothy tilted her head: "That's a new way of saying it."

    She put down the coffee cup: "But that's not what you said when you faced Jane."

    "That's a fairy tale, a drama." Li Yan cut a piece of steak, then raised his head: "It's just a play."

    Dorothy didn't speak, she chewed the dessert on the table quietly, stared at Li Yan with unfriendly eyes, and finally said, "Jane told me to splash your face with a cup, I'm serious."

    "If you want to spill it, please be sure to say hello. I will move my face closer so that I don't spill it on my clothes."

    "Go to hell."

    Dorothy gave Li Yan a blank look. She wanted to take a sip of coffee to calm herself down, only to find that the cup and pot were empty.

    The waiter came over in good time: "Miss Dorothy?"

    "Ah, thank you," Dorothy smiled.

    "Give me a bottle of wine, please."

    Li Yan interjected at the right time.

    The waiter nodded, turned and left, and brought a bottle of chilled red wine and a pot of coffee after a while.

    Dorothy collected her thoughts before asking again: "Li, do you like my play?"

    Li Yan shook his head ignorantly.

    "What kind of story do you want to read? Tell me, before I give myself a long vacation, maybe it can satisfy you. Just take it as my repayment to you."

    Dorothy deliberately covered her face with the cup, and only looked at Li Yan with one pair of eyes.

    "Let me think about it."

    Li Yan deliberately thought for a while, and then said: "I want to see a Chinese working alone in a foreign country. He is surrounded by mean villains and incompetent people, but he deliberately makes things difficult for him. But the Chinese use their wisdom to make things difficult for him."  Later, this Chinese met a wealthy daughter from a foreign country, a lonely celebrity wife, and a beautiful female star. These women fell in love with him irresistibly, and were even willing to share this excellent man with other women.  This happy family gave birth to five children"

    Dorothy was so angry that she couldn't even hold a knife and fork. She suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth at Li Yan and said, "Li, you are an incurable shameless bastard."

    "Well, I'll change it?.  "

    Li Yan picked up the wine cork: "She is also a Chinese. She is working hard in a foreign country alone, working hard, doing her duty, and dreaming of being recognized by this city. But the cruel reality finally crushed him.  And in rage, he degenerates into a brutal super criminal who uses what he's learned from the city to take revenge on arrogant white people. Become an urban legend."

    Dorothy rubbed her forehead in distress: "Lee, I think you are too sharp."

    "I'm a very practical person, Dorothy. Any play, if only one audience is willing to pay for it, he is not considered a failure. I am the one who is willing to pay for it. You are a professional, you should compare  I know better, what am I talking about?"

    "Listen, Li, I'm definitely not in a dispute with you. What I want to express is that if my theater has to be paid by the Chinese, I don't think I can do it in a hundred years. The story in your mouth,  You need to write it yourself and pay for it yourself, which is fair.¡±

    With a smile on his face, Li Yan raised the bottle to Dorothy: "You are right."

    Dang~

    The sound of the wine bottle and the coffee cup colliding is extremely crisp.

    Dorothy put the cup down, pondered for a while before asking: "Lee, will you be angry because of what the audience in the theater said?"

    Li Yan shook his head.

    "Not all of them, huh? Why?"

    asked Dorothy in surprise.  Li Yan's words just now proved that he really has a grudge against this city.

    "because."

    Halfway through Li Yan's speech, his eyelids suddenly lifted, and a sharp light shone from his pupils.

    Boom!

    A dazzling flame bloomed on the ground.

    Dorothy was also taken aback by the soup and water on the table, and looked down in a panic.

    The flames spread wantonly among the narrow houses built randomly on the surface, and where the torrent of heavy carts passed, there were ruins everywhere.

    That is the location of Chinatown.

    Li Yan covered his ears with one hand, his expression changed drastically.  He stood up abruptly, the movement was so big that it even touched the table and chairs.

    "I'm sorry, Dorothy, but I have something urgent to attend to and I can't take you home. Don't worry about me."

    "But, at least until the steamboat returns to the square"

    Before Dorothy finished speaking, she suddenly screamed. Li Yan jumped over the railing in front of her, and jumped over 800 meters into the air in a big shape!

    The unsteady wine bottle shook back and forth, and finally rolled off the tablecloth amidst Dorothy's screams, smashing one into pieces.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
