Chapter 484: A Special Day~ 1.3 in 1
Xie Yujia's parents' place in New York City was in a quiet residential area, and it was a two-story house. All the houses looked similar, and there were some six-story apartments nearby. The homes and condos here looked quite different compared with the structures in East Ocean City.
New York City was an expensive place to live in, so it was quite amazing that they owned their own place
"Yujia!"
Xie Wanjun's parents came out to greet them immediately.
"Uncle, Auntie!" Xie Yujia greeted them in excitement.
Xie Yujia's father's business in the U.S. was expanding rapidly, and he had a plan to open a new factory facility in the West. Xie Yujia's parents were still going to be in charge of the main factories in New York City, so they were planning to let Xie Wanjun's parents manage the new factory.
Xie Wanjun was studying at Stanford, which was near San Francisco. If his parents were in charge of a factory on the west coast, then their family could get together more often.
Xie Wanjun's parents knew they could see their son more, so they decisively sold off their business in China and came to the U.S.
Xie Wanjun's dream was to play in the NBA. However, he also had the potential of becoming a good entrepreneur. Xie Ming wanted to turn his business into a giant family business, and he had been making progress.
Hao Ren and Xie Yujia's classmates thought that Xie Yujia was from an ordinary family. However, Xie Yujia was from a much wealthier family compared with Lin Li, whose father owned a clothing distribution business in East Ocean City.
"Hurry and come in. It's been hot these days in New York." Xie Yujia's aunt grabbed Xie Yujia by the arm and pulled her into the house, and the inside was cool.
This house was a standard American house; there was a garage, a backyard, and trees by the house. In terms of size, it was larger than Hao Ren's home by the sea.
Xie Yujia came to the U.S. every summer, so she was familiar with the house. However, Hao Ren felt a bit uncomfortable in this new environment.
"Oh. So, this is the Little Older Brother that Yujia always talked about..." Xie Yujia's uncle and aunt smiled and said as they handed Hao Ren a drink.
Xie Yujia immediately blushed and murmured, "Auntie!"
Hao Ren smiled and looked a bit embarrassed. He looked out the window and saw the grasses and English signs outside the house, and he realized that he was still not used to the U.S.
"Mom. I'm going to go upstairs and rest!" Xie Yujia looked at Cheng Qian and said.
It was indeed boring sitting there, especially when the adults were making fun of her. Xie Yujia would rather go up to her room and rest.
"Go, go!" Cheng Qian waved her hands.
Xie Yujia grabbed Hao Ren by his elbow and dragged him toward the stairs as well.
The two-story house was made of wood, so it was different from the buildings in China. It was light and very quiet.
Xie Yujia's room was on the second floor, facing the backyard. They could see the busy streets afar from the window, but the noises there could not be heard here.
Her parents had reserved the room for her, and there were all sorts of things in it. Since Xie Yujia was coming, they cleaned it so that it looked spotless.
Xie Yujia had parents that cared a lot about her.
On the wall, there a heartfelt picture of their entire family by the beach. The Xie Yujia in the picture was a bit younger, so it was probably from a few years ago.
"How long are you staying this time?" Xie Yujia sat by her bed and asked Hao Ren.
"I'll let the old friends catch up, so I'll stay for three to four days," Hao Ren said as he walked over to the window and looked at the small road in front.
"I'm not really familiar with New York. When I spend my summers with them, I just read a bit and go take walks at the universities here," Xie Yujia said. She was sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands supporting her body as she swayed her legs.
Hao Ren knew Xie Yujia's parents were busy people.
Xie Yujia was a good girl, so she didn't want to disturb her parents' work.
When Hao Ren saw how calm she was, he suddenly felt like he should treat her better.
"Let's go and take a walk." Hao Ren walked over and pulled her up.
Xie Yujia was a bit surprised, and her eyelashes curled up as she opened her beautiful eyes widely.
Hao Ren dragged her off the edge of the bed.
Xie Yujia was in a short skirt, and her skirt fluttered slightly, showing her white legs.
Dong, dong, dong, dong... Hao Ren led Xie Yujia down the stairs.
"What's up?" Cheng Qian asked while she was making dumplings.
"We're going out for a walk!" Hao Ren said.
"You just got off the plane. Why don't you take a rest and get over your jet lag?" Cheng Qian asked.
"No need!" Hao Ren responded and ran out of the house with Xie Yujia.
Xie Ming looked at them and laughed. "It's ok. Young people are full of energy."
Zhao Zhonghua also smiled. "It's Hao Ren's first time being in the U.S. He must be excited!"
Xie Yujia's palm was delicate and cool, and Hao Ren felt comfortable held her hands as they crossed the street.
After being on a plane for tens of hours, normal people would be exhausted. However, they were in first-class cabin and were cultivators.
Today, Xie Yujia was wearing a light brown short skirt, a pink and white striped t-shirt with lace on the sleeves, and a pair of white sneakers. She looked especially youthful and beautiful.
She was at the peak of her youth at the age of 18. She was no longer naïve but not yet mature enough to lose interest in things. Right now, she was like a blooming flower.
Hao Ren was only half a year older than her. When they were kids, she called him Little Older Brother all the time.
Now that these two childhood sweethearts had grown older, the half-year difference was no longer a big matter. They had suddenly grown into their golden age.
"Taxi!" Xie Yujia waved a taxi by the road.
She dragged Hao Ren in and spoke a bunch of English to the driver.
Hao Ren never knew that Xie Yujia was great at speaking English, but that was because she spent her summers in the U.S. each year.
The taxi drove through the roads in Brooklyn, and Xie Yujia looked outside to see the sceneries flying pass them.
From the look on her face, she had never toured around New York properly.
The taxi stopped in front of a big church, and Xie Yujia paid the driver before pulling Hao Ren out.
There was a stone plate by the church's entrance, and Xie Yujia put a finger by her mouth and bent down to read it carefully.
Hao Ren had studied with Xie Yujia a few times. He knew when she put her finger by her mouth, she was reading attentively.
The light brown skirt was slightly lifted because she bent down, and Hao Ren saw more of her white thighs.
Her legs were straight as she put one hand on her knee and the other by her mouth. Her eyes brightened as she read the information on the plate.
The old church that was grey and black created an excellent background for Xie Yujia who was in her pink and white shirt.
This scene was even prettier than the ones on postcards, and it was a pity that Hao Ren didn't bring a camera, or else he could have recorded this down.
"This is Our Old Lady Loreto Church, and it was built in the early 20th century. It has a long history..." Xie Yujia turned over and looked at Hao Ren. She went around the church and found that there was no entrance into the building, and she looked a bit disappointed.
Hao Ren saw how excited she was and couldn't help but laugh.
When she came to the U.S. before, she didn't wander the streets of New York. It wasn't because she wasn't interested, but it was because she didn't have anyone to go look around with her.
"There are still many tourist spots in Brooklyn. There's the Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hills..." Xie Yujia said happily as she walked over to Hao Ren.
"Let's go take a look," Hao Ren said with a smile.
"OK!" Xie Yujia nodded and ran over to wave down another taxi.
Xie Yujia was excited about each tourist spot.
New York City was large, and Brooklyn was the most populated district and wasn't small in size either.
They went to the most famous tourist spots and walked across the famous Brooklyn Bridge. It was also the bridge that connected Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Xie Yujia as very happy and smiled brightly like the sun.
Although she had been to New York multiple times, she wasn't a girl who loved to go out and play. That was why she only spent time with her parents and didn't go anywhere else the first few times she was in New York.
Now that Hao Ren was with her, she could really look around.
With a map and her faint impression of New York, she went to the tourist spots one by one.
Hao Ren's English was nowhere as good as Xie Yujia's, so he followed her closely. There were some places where he thought they were nothing special, but he understood why they were famous after Xie Yujia's careful observation and interesting explanation.
New York was an exciting city. The streets felt different compared to East Ocean City.
Xie Yujia led the way passionately. She would point to here and there, and when she got lost, she would look at the map and start over.
Hao Ren followed her, listening to her novice explanations.
Suddenly, he felt like he didn't know Xie Yujia at all.
This was a very strange feeling; Hao Ren felt like he traveled to New York alone and coincidentally met a girl who was also traveling in New York alone, so they decided to go around together.
Hao Ren followed Xie Yujia everywhere...
Xie Yujia was in a short skirt, pink and white striped t-shirt, and running shoes. Who wouldn't like this type of girls who were positive, cheerful, youthful, were definitely wife materials.
From Broadway to the Empire State Building, from Chinatown to Wall Street, from the Metropolitan Museum of Arts to the American Museum of Natural History, Xie Yujia had gone to all the places she didn't have a chance to go to before.
Their final stop was Columbia University which was situated in the heart of New York. Now, they had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of life at an American university.
The architecture style of this historic American university was very different compared to the modern style of East Ocean University.
Each building here looked like a church.
The grasses were green, and there were trees all around.
Blonde girls and boys were sitting on the grasses; some were chatting while others read quietly. It felt very different compared to East Ocean University.
"If Xie Yujia came to the U.S. for university, she would be able to get in such a prestigious school for sure..." Hao Ren thought.
"Let's take a break." Hao Ren led Xie Yujia over to a grass field.
Unlike the summertime at the East Ocean University, most of the students here didn't go home. Hao Ren and Xie Yujia ventured into this world-renowned university as if they were international students who didn't go home for the summer.
The grasses were warm in the sun.
Hao Ren was a bit tired from walking around the whole day with Xie Yujia, and it was the perfect time for a break.
The American students who were chatting looked over at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia as they walked past them.
Hao Ren was the stereotypical handsome eastern guy, and Xie Yujia was an Asian beauty. Together, they were a perfect match. They caught the attention of many American students since they looked perfect together, creating a beautiful calm and peaceful scene.
Hao Ren found a spot in the shade, and he lied down on the grasses comfortably.
Xie Yujia took a spot next to Hao Ren, and she pulled her skirt down and carefully lied down as well.
Hao Ren put his arm behind her head, acting as her pillow.
Xie Yujia was a bit surprised, and she turned to look at Hao Ren while her face was a bit red.
Moments ago, Xie Yujia was energetic and running all over the place. Now, she turned into a quiet and reserved girl.
The sky was blue, and the clouds were white.
Their toes pointed at a pointy old tower.
Hao Ren felt Xie Yujia's hair on his arm, and he had the impulse to play with her hair with his hands.
Her hair was black, smooth, and soft. It resembled her personality.
Xie Yujia looked at the sky with her beautiful eyes, and it felt like there was something in her mind.
She suddenly sat up and said something to a few American students that walked by, and she ended up borrowing a book from them.
Hao Ren smiled at Xie Yujia and thought that she was pretty confident and capable of many things. Not to say that his English wasn't good, but he would never be able to borrow a book from strangers.
Xie Yujia opened the English book and lied back on Hao Ren's arm.
The sunlight shone through the leaves, and light spots appeared on Xie Yujia's soft body and beautiful face. She gave out a mysterious type of beauty.
Maybe it was because she wasn't lying in a comfortable position, she adjusted herself and rested her head by Hao Ren's shoulder before settling down on his stomach.
Hao Ren's belly was firm because of his abs, and its shape was a perfect pillow that followed the natural curve of Xie Yujia's head.
Lying down, Hao Ren looked at Xie Yujia and felt like he discovered her playful side.
He reached out to touch her forehead. It was smooth and fine.
Xie Yujia rolled her eyes as she gave him a slight glare.
Hao Ren couldn't help but giggle. He reached out to rub her cheeks, and they were soft and smooth and very firm...
Xie Yujia finally turned her head around, and she pouted and closed her eyes, acting as if she wasn't bothered by him.
Hao Ren looked at her and suddenly got a special feeling. He felt like he loved Xie Yujia.
Two students were kissing in front of the academic building.
Xie Yujia felt that the look on Hao Ren's face was changing, and she suddenly blushed when she saw the kissing couple.
She had kissed Hao Ren once before, but that was under impulse. The feeling and atmosphere now were much different.
Time seemed like it had stopped, and Hao Ren approached Xie Yujia's red and plumped lips.
Xie Yujia blushed. She closed her eyes, and her black eyelashes quivered slightly.
Pa, pa... Something wet and hot was curling around Hao Ren cheeks.
Hao Ren turned over and saw Little White. It was wriggling its tail happily, and it started to lick his cheeks.
