Chapter 57: Y. of YRF
ended his run with a backflip on the spot, Xiao Yao took a big breath, and couldn't wait to exclaim: "Cool!"
In addition to surrounding James, some people also walked directly to Xiao Yao, who finished running. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Hey, buddy, you ran so coolly. A white young man with a white turban stretched out his hand and greeted Xiao Yao directly.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao, who was bending over to support his knees, stood up straight and also stretched out his hand to the other party. However, instead of shaking hands, the two shook each other's inner part of the upper part of their forearms.
"I seem to have seen you for the first time, where are you from?" asked the white young man with a smile, "Oh, by the way, I'm Nathan, Nathan Donal." ā
"Young, Jan Shaw. Xiao Yao also introduced himself, "From Calabasas." A little further afield, I'm from China. ā
"Huaxia, so you're Chinese?" asked Nathan continued.
The sharp-eyed Xiao Yao saw a young man in a black T-shirt behind Nathan unwillingly took out a ten-dollar bill and handed it to the young man in red beside him, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
"No, I'm not Chinese, I'm Chinese. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm an international exchange student, just studying in Calabasas." ā
The young man in the black T-shirt immediately stretched out his hand happily, and the young man in red reluctantly took out the banknotes that had been put in his pocket and returned them to the young man in the black T-shirt.
"Can I ask them what they bet on? Apparently it has something to do with me. Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to the two people behind Nathan.
"Don't mind. Nathan smiled helplessly, "That's what they are." ā
Then, Nathan turned to the two behind him and beckoned, "Ray, Joe, Jan asked you what you bet on him." ā
"Raymond Patzi. ā
"Joshua Deail. ā
The two came up first and reported their names, and then Raymond, a young man in a black T-shirt, explained to Xiao Yao: "I made a bet with Joe that you were Korean, and Joe said that you were Chinese, and the bet was ten dollars." I heard you say from Calabasas, and farther from Huaxia, I thought Joe had won. But since you are from Huaxia, then neither Qiao nor I guessed correctly, and my ten dollars were lost and recovered. ā
"OK, got it. Xiao Yao nodded, and the doubts in his heart were solved. Americans are really the same as the film and television dramas they watched in their previous lives, they can gamble on anything.
"Jan, you did really well just now. Are there a lot of people in Huaxia who are parkour now?" Joshua asked curiously.
"yes, I want to know too. James Cova's voice was heard.
It turned out that at this time, James and the other members of the band also came over.
Unlike the surprised expressions of the band members, James was slightly depressed. Originally, I wanted to take this Chinese kid to open his eyes and see the latest sports played by young people in the United States. I didn't expect this guy to play better than their group of Americans, but it made him out of the limelight once, and in another way, he compared the young people of the United States.
"I don't know," Xiao Yao shook his head, "A few of my friends and I get together from time to time to run around, but I don't know if other people play this or not." ā
Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, and Xu Fei are not only students, but also second-generation stars, who have to go to school and have a side job in acting, so they only occasionally get together to record some parkour videos and upload them to the Internet, and they really haven't understood what parkour has developed into young people in Huaxia. However, this time in the United States, seeing that many young Americans are already playing, Xiao Yao feels that it is time to understand how popular this sport is in the world.
"So, you only learned about this sport after seeing YRF's videos, and you started learning directly from their videos?" Nathan said with some joy, "I must have been playing for a short time, right? ā
"yrf?" Xiao Yao subconsciously repeated, the name hadn't been heard for a while. The main thing is that the last time they got together to shoot a video was more than half a year ago.
"How is it possible that you don't know yrf when you play parkour?" Nathan thought that Xiao Yao didn't know the name, and eagerly introduced: "Yrf is the founder team of this sport. It was first when they uploaded a video of their parkour to the PV website that everyone learned about the sport. And parkour enthusiasts have also checked, the first place where the word parkour appeared was in the video introduction of YRF, and there was no such word in the world before, so everyone agreed that this sport was their idea. They are the banner of the sport and the idols of many parkour enthusiasts. ā
"I know," Xiao Yao nodded, smiling happily, "I just didn't expect you to have such a high regard for YRF. I thought, "In this world, I coined this word." ā
"Of course, they are the pride of our young Americans, although we don't know exactly who they really are. James interjected.
"Oh... Wait," Xiao Yao suddenly felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and looked at James in surprise and said, "Who said they were Americans?"
"Isn't it? PV is an American video site. The largest number of users are also Americans. "Although judging by their hair color and skin color, they should be East Asian, but judging by the names written in their introductions, it is clear that we are Western names, and judging from the websites they choose to upload and post videos, they are very likely to be Asian-Americans." ā
"Hey, using a PV site to upload and post a video doesn't mean they're American. PV is the world's most viewed video website, and many countries in the world have its users, and they can also use it to upload and publish videos. Xiao Yao retorted.
At the beginning, in order to expand the publicity and let the sport spread all over the world, Xiao Yao and several others deliberately chose the world's most viewed video website, and the personal names and team names were also very nationalized with English names and English letters.
Looking back at the videos that the YRF team has released so far, because the locations are carefully selected places suitable for parkour sports, these places are very common places in the world's cities, there are no ancient buildings with Chinese characteristics, there are few high-rise buildings, and there has never been any landmark buildings in Yanjing City, China. In addition, in order not to affect the normal life of others, when they shoot videos, even passers-by rarely appear. Therefore, it seems unreasonable for Americans who have always regarded themselves very highly as Americans. After all, the occasional Chinese signs and the rarely seen Chinese passers-by in the footage can easily be explained by Chinatown, a place that almost any famous big city in the world will have.
"I agree with him," a young man with an East Asian face interjected, "I always thought that the YRF team was Korean, just by their English names." ā
Xiao Yao looked at the young man who spoke. From those very characteristic small eyes, Xiao Yao instantly judged that he must have Korean ancestry, either Korean or Korean.
Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yao responded dryly: "But I don't agree with your statement." ā
"Why?" the little eyes looked at Xiao Yao strangely.
"Because the whole team of yrf is Chinese. It's not Chinese, it's an authentic Chinese living in Yanjing, China!" Xiao Yao said categorically.
"Why do you say that?" said Little Eye, unconvinced, "You're not..."
In the middle of speaking, the little eyes suddenly tried to widen his small eyes, and said incredulously, "Oh my God! Are you..."
"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded heavily, "The Y in Yrf stands for Young, and that's me, Jan Xiao!"
At this moment, the surrounding group of parkour enthusiasts exploded.
"Oh my God, I met one of the yrfs. ā
"I didn't expect that YRF turned out to be all Chinese, and one of them was still standing in front of me. ā
"No wonder his performance just now was so cool, it turned out that the founder showed up. ā
In addition to the amazed, of course, there are also the questioning.
"Did he say yes? We just met him for the first time, we didn't know him at all, and we believed whatever he said. ā
"Although his performance just now is indeed good, it does not mean that he is definitely one of the YRF. Even if he is really called Yang, there are more people in the world who call Yang. ā
"Everyone has seen the video of yrf, although it can be determined that they are the same three people in terms of body and movement characteristics, but none of the videos have a close-up of any of their faces, and everyone can't see what they look like at all, and it is inevitable that someone will use this to fake. ā
Listening to these discussions, Xiao Yao couldn't help frowning, how could he seem to have encountered this kind of situation to prove that I am me again? Xiao Yao suddenly had a desire to turn around and leave, loving whoever he loved.
At this time, Raymond took out the ten-dollar bill again, and said to Xiao Yao carefully: "Although it is not polite to say this, but for the sake of the ownership of these ten dollars, can you help prove it." ā
Nathan glanced back at Raymond again, only to see Joshua next to him also take out a ten-dollar bill, which was paired with the one in Raymond's hand. Seeing Nathan turn around and block Xiao Yao's view of him. The two quickly smiled and looked at each other.
Seeing the eyes of the two, Nathan quickly understood. Just now, he was still wondering, when did these two guys bet on the identity of Yrf?
Since Xiao Yao is an exchange student in the city of Calabasas next door, he will definitely stay at least until the end of next year's school year. In such a long time, he will most likely have the opportunity to come to Los Angeles. For such a master to join, everyone is very welcome, and if there is a chance, he will definitely be invited to participate in everyone's parkour activities.
But now that he thinks he's a member of the YRF team, everyone has to make sure what he's saying is true. If he is really the Y in the yrf, everyone asks him to come and give everyone some on-the-spot guidance, and then put the video of parkour with him on the Internet, then their group of people will definitely become famous in the parkour circle. But if he is just a person who wants to fake Yrf, then he will naturally be the object of everyone's respect if he has a problem with his character.
Everyone is now very eager to confirm whether Xiao Yao in front of him is the Y in the yrf. But if you ask others to prove that you are yourself, it is very likely to anger this veteran god who has no friendship with everyone. Even if he proves his identity as everyone wishes, I'm afraid he won't have a good impression of them. What's more, he may not be able to prove it as everyone wishes. From the frowning expression on his face just now, Nathan could already see some signs.
But Raymond and Joshua came to such a hand, but the focus of the whole incident changed from everyone's suspicion of him to his arbitration of the outcome of the bet between the two, although the things that need to be done are the same, but in Xiao Yao's eyes, it is very different. Thinking of this, Nathan also had to secretly give a thumbs up to these two guys who are usually addicted to betting.
Sure enough, after Nathan turned around, Xiao Yao couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and laughed after seeing the two of them each holding a banknote looking at his expression with a hopeful expression. (To be continued.) )
