Li Du thought that what Hans said about work was just an excuse . He wanted to create opportunities for Porter and Ariana .
It turned out that was not the case, however . Hans really has his own agenda .
The next morning, after breakfast, Hans began to spread suntan oil all over his body, careful not to miss any spot .
"Are you going to sunbathe?" asked Porter, who was taking care of his comic book .
Hans said with a smile, "I'm going to the Southern Beach Esplanade, not to sunbathe, but to take part in the activities . "
Still puzzled, Porter asked, "Southern Beach Esplanade? It's a gathering place for bike racers . What can you possibly have to do there?"
Li Du saw Hans' cunning look, and he knew he must be up to no good .
He was right . Hans didn't elaborate, but Porter quickly looked it up on the Internet and said, "Oh my god, it's a topless swim . Are you joining in?"
Hans nodded gravely . "Yes, the purpose is to fight for women's equal status in society and protest against sexual objectification . I will support this!"
Li Du knew the meaning of the event when he heard the name . Essentially, everyone would go topless . This was not a big deal in the United States, where people often went skinny dipping . He chose to let this pass .
Li Du didn't mind Hans taking part in a topless swim, but he was not interested in going himself .
Hans tried to get them to join him, saying, "Come with me, boys, it will be a very interesting event, and there will be many beautiful women . "
"The beautiful girls are your main target, right?"
Hans said confidently, "I am a straight male, is it wrong if I like to see beautiful ladies? And besides, you know, the girls who go to these things are very promising . Normal girls would have no guts to join in . "
Porter shook his head . "No, no, no, I'm not going . Forget about it . "
Li Du looked at the news updates and said, "Come on, Porter, let's go . "
Hans smiled and said, "Have you flipped? I knew I'd convince you in the end . "
Li Du looked at him in disdain and said, "I'm going to the warehouse company in Winewood . We're only going the same way . "
The sale would be held in the Wynwood area of Miami at a warehouse company called Mr . Bike .
Porter had some interest in warehouse auctions . He had never been involved in such a business, but knowing that Li Du was making a lot of money, he agreed to go with him to the warehouse company .
It was fun to ride two separate cars down Seafront Boulevard, south beach's main thoroughfare, but for a true Miami experience, it would be better to ride a bike or go rollerblading or skateboarding .
Miami boasted the best beaches in North America . It was famous for its beach entertainment . The beaches were zoned to suit different groups of people .
For example, the south beach was divided into bikini beach, family fun beach, nude beach, gay beach, windsurfing beach and so on .
Hans explained the division of the beaches to Li Du and told him not to make a mistake or he would end up at the gay beach .
Li Du rolled his eyes . He was not going to the beach . He was going to the warehouse company .
The topless event started off next to the celestial beach . The sun was blazing, and by the time they drove over, many people had already arrived .
Floating above the beach were two huge balloons, pink in color and ambiguous in shape, forming the shape of an inflatable woman's breast .
"Ah, the symbol of freedom," exclaimed Hans as he looked at the big balloon .
Brother Wolf drove to the intersection, Li Du pushed Hans out and said in an unhappy tone, "You go and pursue your damn freedom, but I think you are going after the symbol of sex . "
Some girls passed by their car . They had nothing on their bodies but some painted words on their chests . One caption said equality over the sky, the other, my body is not sinning .
Li Du looked out of the window . A girl noticed him and beckoned him out of the car .
Hans looked at him from the window and said, "Look, you have been invited . Come quickly . "
"Be careful," warned Li Du . "Watch out, or you might catch something contagious . "
Hans wasn't impressed . "You think this is a booty call conference? Ha, that girl didn't invite you to participate . You can just watch . "
Indeed, there were many onlookers . Li Du saw the crowd, most of which was composed of bystanders . Probably less than one hundred people actually took part in the activity .
However, similar events were simultaneously held in New York City and Los Angeles .
On the way, Li Du saw the vehicles of several broadcasting stations . A female reporter of ABC was broadcasting, wearing nothing but a bus-stop sign to show her respect for the activity .
"So what is the purpose of this? Fighting for women's right to fly in public?" Porter asked ironically .
Brother Wolf casually replied, "To fight for the air power, of course . Going topless would help one learn to fly fighter jets or make and produce surface-to-air missiles . "
Li Du laughed .
Not far from the south beach, one of Miami's trendiest places, there was Wynwood, a haven for avant-garde art lovers who consider it a stage to display their talents at will .
As the car pulled over, Li Du saw graffiti everywhere, and young men and women with caps and tattoos walking around .
Skateboards, parkour, roller skates, and mountain bikes were the main means of transportation around here .
The young people seemed to communicate not in normal speech, but by waving their arms and singing rap songs .
However, there was no chaos on the streets . The avant-garde fans looked like gang members, but they were not .
The further they drove, the more people they saw . The car could not move anymore . Brother Wolf found a place to park and they walked further to the warehouse company .
After getting out of the car and mingling with the crowd, Li Du found out why there were so many people today . It turned out that they had just come across the once a month Winewood and art district art walk . The topless swim was set for the same day because the activists wanted to take advantage of the popular art event .
This art walk was held on the second Saturday of each month, bringing together enthusiasts to discuss art and its progress .
This kind of artistic expression was a tad unusual, however . It consisted of spraying and doodling on walls .
