Even at Christmas, Oklahoma City Airport is still packed. As Oklahoma's largest airport www.biquge.info it has become one of the busiest airports in the world with more than 3.74 million passengers last year alone.

A tall Asian man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap sits in a café in the departure hall, and with this Asian is a black man who also wears sunglasses and wears a stylish snake-print suit. These two guys thought they were well disguised, but most of the people sitting in the café knew that they were the Thunder's two '08 rookies, Angel and Russell Westbrook.

"Do you have any special etiquette in China? Do you have to fold your hands and bow when you say hello?" Westbrook kept asking An Jie, if he didn't want to be rude in front of this teammate's parents. After all, when Westbrook was filming an advertisement outside last night, An Jie, who had been trained to do so, took very good care of his visiting parents.

"You just have to shake their hand and say hello. For this question, An Jie has answered him for the fifth time.

"Mud, mud, well, I remember. Westbrook nodded as he spoke, seemingly proud of his "pure" Chinese accent.

At this moment, An Jie's parents dragged their suitcases out of the passage, their son's height is very conspicuous, even in the United States. Anjie saw them as well, and after slapping a hundred-dollar bill on the table, he and Westbrook sped out of the café.

"Shi Ran, where is it! I see Xiaojie!" Anjie's mother threw down her luggage and ran towards her son, the first time she had seen her own flesh and blood since Anjie set off from China to Seattle.

"Mud howl!" Just as An Jie's mother was about to hug her son, Westbrook suddenly stretched out her hand and startled An Jie's mother.

"Mom, this is my teammate, Westbrook, you've probably seen it on TV, the one wearing the zero jersey. An Jie saw his mother's predicament and quickly introduced her.

Listening to her son's words, An Jie's mother was a little impressed. There is no way, snake-print suits, pink trousers, crocodile leather shoes, Westbrook's "showy" dressing style is so unacceptable...... If it weren't for An Jie's introduction, his mother would have thought that she was entangled by some unscrupulous person.

"I said Jade Butterfly, why is it so rude, people have been raising their hands for a long time. It wasn't until An Shiran, who came up from behind, reminded him that An Jie's mother Wen Yudie realized that she hadn't shaken hands with others yet.

In China, it is almost impossible to see people dressed like this on the street, no, even in the United States, only Westbrook dares to wear clothes like this, and it is normal for such a stranger to greet him and be stunned for a few seconds.

Since Anjie's Mazda RX-7 is a two-seater car, Westbrook drove his Hummer as the driver of the second elder. Anjie's dad was so excited, as a fan, Westbrook personally drove him, which was enough to make people excited for a while.

Driving the car, Westbrook and Anjie took the two elders around Oklahoma City's famous attraction Wanmu Garden, although the scenery here is the best in spring, but in the snowy winter, the scenery here is also unique.

An Jie's mother kept taking pictures, and Westbrook, who accompanied An Jie's family, waited patiently throughout the whole process without complaining. Westbrook's family wasn't great, and he never even stepped out of the black neighborhood of South Los Angeles before college. He is a good child from an ordinary family, so he is also very sympathetic and understanding of An Jie's family's actions.

And he knew that if An Jie accompanied his family instead, An Jie would also wait patiently.

After a short tour of the snow-white garden, Westbrook and Anjie drove the two elders back to Anjie's home, where Westbrook's parents were already busy in the kitchen, and yes, Anjie invited the Westbrook family to spend Christmas in their house as well.

Westbrook is also a rare opportunity to reunite with his family, Anjie will call home every day, but sometimes too busy will become a call every two or three days.

But Westbrook, every day, he will always call home before training or a game and play again at the end of the day. He, like An Jie, is ordinary, no tattoos, no pierced ears, and misses his family, perhaps it is with these similarities that Westbrook and An Jie become friends.

Although the language barrier is different, looking at the two happy families, An Jie also feels that all his efforts have not been in vain. Looking at the time, Anjie had to leave this happy house for a while, and only when the two of them joined in did this Christmas Eve become complete.

"Mom, Dad, you guys rest here first, and then I'll go to the airport to pick up two people and come back immediately. Needless to say, his parents also know which two people it is, because An Jie took them to the Chinese restaurant during the draft. But Westbrook looked confused, and there were still people?

"Russell, I'll drive your car away, if you want to use it, drive mine. Grab the car keys, An Jie couldn't wait to walk out of the door, Catherine, it's finally time to meet.

The frustrated ten consecutive defeats, the comeback of four consecutive wins and five consecutive wins, the recruitment scandal that caused a sensation in China and Ames City, although not by his side, Catherine's heart still went through everything with An Jie.

When Catherine got off the plane and threw herself into An Jie's arms, she really had a sense of security. There is no distance barrier, no tabloid provocation, whether he is happy or angry, Catherine can see it now.

"Hello, uncle. Catherine's head was still buried in An Jie's chest, and her beard was not urging, looking at the two young men with a smile on her face. It was Christmas a year ago, and this big Asian man broke into the lives of their father and daughter without warning, and he didn't expect that the impact would be so great.

When Angel walked into the house with Catherine and the bearded man, Westbrook finally knew what was going on.

"Okay, you, even I didn't know you had a girlfriend. Westbrook immediately "tortured An Jie to extract a confession".

Anjie just smiled sheepishly, neither he nor Catherine were ready to announce their relationship to the flash. Catherine said that at least after she graduates, she will not consider living with An Jie, and will consider making this relationship public. An Jie does not object, how hard life is in the spotlight, An Jie has already experienced a little.

At half past eight in the evening, a sumptuous Christmas dinner was piled up on Anjie's long dining table. There are all kinds of dishes on the table, and the bearded man is a chef, and this Christmas dinner with a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine makes everyone salivate.

The NBA Christmas War is in full swing, and as professional players, Anjie is very lucky to be able to get a holiday on Christmas Eve. Even LeBron James, who has just played against Anjie, has to continue to provide wonderful games for the audience in such a festival.

But today, Anjie's TV did not show the live broadcast of the Christmas war, but played a talk show at random, everyone else is living their own Christmas, and Anjie's family, who do not have this habit, regard today as New Year's Day. In short, on this night that belongs to the family, basketball can only stand aside for the time being.

During the meal, Anjie called his mentors Divac and Ricard and his Whirlwind comrade Andrew Morris. As for Mike Taylor, the only way to say his greetings was via text message, as the poor guy had to follow Brandon Roy to the Rose Garden on Christmas Eve to take on the challenge of the "German Chariot".

Under the night sky, Oklahoma City outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of An Jie's house is like a vast starry sky, and the little lights converge into a spectacular Milky Way. In the center of Wanmu Garden Plaza, the Christmas fireworks prepared by the Oklahoma City government for citizens were also set off on time. The colorful fireworks are very gorgeous, and the night sky is even more charming.

In the middle of this intensive schedule, Anjie and Westbrook, two first-year rookies, also had a rare comfortable time.

Family, friends, partners...... On a cold night in a foreign country, An Jie finally felt what it was like to live a life full of warmth. If he could, he wished that such a night would never pass in the long river of time......

On December 25th, the pace of life was finally willing to slow down on this day. (To be continued.) )
