Green has recently fallen in love with getting up early and arriving at the theater on time at six o'clock every day. Holding a cup of hot coffee, he stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the top-floor office and looks out at the end of the long queue downstairs.

Since the premiere, the news that Tong Ran was jointly blacklisted by several lottery companies spread quickly, and at the same time, the number of people queuing up at the ticket booth doubled.

In the performances of the next few days, Tong Ran will change some small magic tricks. As for the finale lottery prediction, due to restrictions, it was forced to be replaced with the alternative program "Night at the Art Museum".

One night, the magician sneaked into the art gallery to steal the painting, but was sucked into the painting by the mysterious power. He kept going back and forth between the frames, covering "Sleeping Venus" with a thin blanket and kissing it.

Van Gogh's "Sunflowers", when he finally saw the patrol ranger, he panicked and disguised himself as a member of the "Volga Trackers".

The administrator took down the famous painting in which the magician was imprisoned, but when he took off his hat, the magician's face was revealed.

For the audience, the visual effects of "Night at the Art Museum" are as magical as the editing special effects, which is enough to make up for the regret of missing the lottery prediction.

But the regret still exists.

After the premiere, although Tong Ran retained the theme of the charity show, no one experienced the surprise of "space travel" again.

The miracle on the night of the 14th seemed like a dream, existing only in the memories of more than a thousand spectators.

After the last performance was over, Green held a celebration dinner for Tong Ran. The guests present were all celebrities, because during the dinner, officials from the World Food Program would launch a fundraising ceremony to prepare for these days.

Refugees in the spotlight? Food issues raise money.

"Mr. Dedi, I have to tell you that I'm sorry." A lottery company executive said, "It's not fair to ban you from buying lottery tickets, but we need to take care of the fairness of more people. I hope you can."

understand."

Tong Ran raised her glass and smiled, "You are too nervous. In fact, I am just lucky."

In fact, he could not really predict the lottery results. Instead, after knowing the lottery results, he used technological means to make the special paper display the corresponding numbers.

Otherwise, he could just announce his prediction before the lottery is drawn.

But he did win the lottery, because he was favored by the goddess of luck, and because he hired an excellent consultant-Stefan Mandel.

This name is unfamiliar to people today, but forty years ago, Mandel used the mathematical formula he invented to sweep the lottery markets in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, winning a total of 14 jackpots.

Unfortunately, he was targeted by the FBI and was arrested and imprisoned in Israel.

Tong Ran had made an appointment with Mandel as early as a month before the performance. Although he has faded out of the lottery market in the past few decades, he has never stopped researching.

Mandel gave Tongran 730,000 possible winning numbers, and Tongran selected the 10,000 numbers with the highest probability and bought the lottery ticket. But before the lottery was drawn, he was not sure whether he could win.

What you are betting on? That bit of luck.

If he loses the bet, the program will end at the moment when the prediction on the note is successful, and the follow-up process will be adjusted accordingly. Fortunately, the goddess of luck always treats him differently, allowing him to achieve the most ideal effect.

"1/2035800 luck?" the executive smiled intriguingly. "This kind of luck is enough to make us vigilant."

Tong Ran smiled and said nothing, and clinked the wine glasses with him.

The banquet hall was stuffy and hot, and every corner was filled with the strong smell of perfume. He dealt with the guests around him with childlike ease. After the fundraising ceremony was halfway through, he moved to the balcony to get some fresh air.

Xu Liu and Li Chengxiao were smoking on the balcony. When the former saw him, he asked, "What are you doing out here?"

Tong Ran deliberately teased him, "What, you've circled the land?"

As expected, Xu Liu exploded when he heard this, "You? Just enclosure! I am the guest you? invited. Are you the one who neglects the guests like this?"

Li Chengxiao bit his cigarette holder and smiled lowly, not participating in the childish conversation between the two.

Tong Ran glanced at him and said, "Did Mr. Green tell you?"

Li Chengxiao said "hmm". Green saw that his performance was very good and he had been developing in the United States in recent years, so he intentionally invited him to sign a long-term contract with the theater. "Although it was just a warm-up performance, it was still considered a job."

Stable income, thank you?.”

"It seems that Brother Xiao is willing to agree?" Tong Ran was also happy for him, "Mr. Green is a very good partner and respects magic. I can guarantee this."

The last "space transfer" magic trick he performed in his debut was very demanding on the venue. It required the stage and the auditorium to move slowly at the same time and at the same angle. This is similar to the principle of David Copperfield's most classic masterpiece "The Lost Statue of Liberty"

, all use light and mechanisms to prevent the audience from noticing the displacement, thereby achieving the effect.

But if you want to move the stage and auditorium quietly outside the venue, you not only need to adjust the temperature difference between the inner and outer venues, but also need to open a separation wall. And the audience who watched the premiere may buy the next few

Did they predict the tickets for each performance in advance? The program process will inevitably pay special attention to the occurrence of transfers, and it is easy to find traces of gangs.

Therefore, the expensive and laborious renovation of the venue can actually only be used once, which is not cost-effective in any way. But Green is very sincere. Not only did he not care about the cost, but he also tried his best to cooperate and did not let him worry about the whole process.

"Well," Li Chengxiao put out the cigarette butt and smiled, "Mr. Green is very sincere in his treatment of others. I hope this time will be a lucky start."

"Don't worry," Xu Liu said carelessly, "Maybe it won't take long before I can be your special guest at your special performance."

Tong Ran said, "You? This is all you have to do?"

Xu Liu had a stinky face, "What do you mean?"

Li Cheng Xiao Wan'er: "He said that one day you will also have your own special performance on Broadway, not just a special guest."

Xu Liu was startled, and coughed slightly, "Of course I know that day will come, and I need you to remind me."

The three of them were nesting on the balcony, chatting with each other. The moon in a foreign country always seemed to have gaps. They chatted and slowly reached the New Year.

"Will Keke return to China during the Spring Festival?" Li Chengxiao asked.

Tong Ran nodded, "I have nothing to do here?, and I have an important performance on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

Xu Liu suddenly had an idea, "Could it be? The opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, right?"

Smiled childishly and reservedly? Laugh.

Xu Liu's whole body was soaked in vinegar?

In China, magic has always been at the bottom of the literary and artistic circles. Although it has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage, it was almost impossible to appear in an occasion like the Olympic opening ceremony.

"What a pity?," Xu Liu's tone deepened, "If Grandpa Zeng could see it, he would be very happy."

Tong Ran looked at the stars in the sky, "You? How do you know Mr. Xu can't see?"

"Yes?" Xu Liu smiled in relief, "You? What are you going to perform? Can you tell me?"

"I only have two minutes for one or two magic tricks." Tong Ran certainly hopes to have more room to perform, but it is not realistic. "There are still many rehearsals, and I will return to China as soon as Christmas is over."

Xu Liu had never spent Christmas abroad, so he couldn't help but suggest: "Celebrate Christmas together."

"Oh," Tong Ran's expression revealed a bit of puzzling incomprehensibility, "No?, you and I are different."

Xu Liuzhen asked: "What's the difference?"

Tong Ran spoke slowly, "My boyfriend is waiting for me."

Xu Liu: "..."

That night, Xu Liu failed to find out who Tong Ran's boyfriend was, but Li Chengxiao's reaction was very strange, making Tong Ran doubt whether the other party knew about it.

But it didn't matter. Early the next morning, he said goodbye to New York and flew to Finland.

As a world-famous ski resort, Finland has numerous large and small ski resorts, as well as professional ski bases.

In a locker room at the Vuokatti Sports College, Lu Sixian was immersed in maintaining his skis.

Although he did not raise his head, he could feel Simon peeking at him from time to time, but he did not intend to respond, even if the other party had been in this state for a day.

"Lu," Simon called softly, his eyes flashing slightly, "Are you ready to go back to the dormitory?"

Lu Sixian looked at him coldly, "No reply."

Simon secretly rejoiced, "Then let's——"

"Tell me." Lu Si Xian threw down the snow wax. Not much? He patiently interrupted him.

Simon was confused, "What did you say?"

Lu Sixian: "Telling you? I have a new crush on a girl, or maybe I want to talk about my emotional troubles again??"

Simon: "..."

"You? Just look at me like this?" Even if I, Herbert Simon, starve to death and never fall in love for the rest of my life, I can't find a virgin for consultation - no, this guy is no longer?, when he thought of this, Simon was even more

Yes? Heartbroken, accusing angrily, "I just? Want to ask you? Go to the physical training room?"

Lu Sixian stood up with his legs supported. The pressure brought by his height made Simon, who was already feeling guilty, unconsciously take a step back. However, Lu Sixian did not look at him, but walked around him and locked the snowboard in.

?The locker, closed the door with a "snap", "Let's go."

Simon: "Huh?"

Lu Sixian zipped up his jacket and said, "Practice physical fitness."

When he arrived at the physical training room, Simon was also restless. He would check his phone for a while, peek at his roommate for a while, and even run out a few times like a thief. Lu Sixian once suspected that what Simon couldn't talk about could be...

There is a disorder in kidney function.

"Lu!" When Simon called him again, he was no longer as nervous as before. Instead, he seemed to have encountered something good. Even his brows were filled with joy, "I have a gift to give."

?you?."

Lu Sixian was not interested: "Why? What?"

Simon's mind was racing: "Isn't I? Thinking of you? I just finished it a few days ago? It's just in time for Christmas... You? Close your eyes first."

Lu Sixian was too lazy to respond at first, but thinking that Simon had been holding it in all day, he finally gave him some money.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from Simon. He was feeling irritated, and suddenly his lips felt hot——
