Chapter 45: Good Omen
"I think he's going to make it and become an amazing person. If you want to wrap up a man, you should dispel this idea as soon as possible. I asked Mitchell if he went to the Warriors and would probably play as a starter. Ashley said lightly.
"Yes, you like successful people, and the more famous you are, the more you like them, I know." Mary snorted.
"Please, we're talking about you."
"What am I for? Aren't you on good terms with him? Usually you spend a lot of time with him, and he can always make you laugh. Mary pouted.
"I like older than me, he's too young."
"Come on, since you met him, you don't pretend to be deep on the outside, he's someone even Anne admires." Mary laughed.
"No more talking. Anyway, he's leaving, you can take this opportunity to develop with him, and you can go to Auckland to find him in the future, I want to focus on my career, we're just friends. Ashley smiled. She likes people who have the ability, and now Zhou Xuan is just starting out, if he can play in the NBA and become an All-Star player, maybe she will fall in love with him, definitely not now.
"I'm not going either." Mary was lying on the bed, how could a woman take the initiative in this kind of thing, it was too faceless, not to mention that she was still a celebrity.
Most girls don't take the initiative to pursue the man they like, except for those who like it too much or have a particularly passionate personality, neither of the sisters. Mary also has a restrained personality under her lively appearance.
Zhou Xuan will not take the initiative. He didn't know if Sister Olsen had feelings for him that went beyond friendship, and he didn't know how to chase foreign girls with different thoughts. Also, who should I chase?
When he faced the two sisters and thought of the word "love", he would unconsciously think of Zhang Ailing. Zhang Ailing said: "Maybe every man has two women in his life, at least two." married a red rose, and over time, the red one became a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, but the white one was still the bright moonlight in front of the bed; married a white rose, the white one became a grain of rice sticky on the clothes, but the red one became a cinnabar mole on the heart. ”
If he and one of his sisters become a couple, it is not as romantic as Zhang Ailing's statement, and the relationship between the eldest sister-in-law and the younger sister-in-law is much more complicated.
So, the three of them kept their distance very tacitly, they were still good friends, they often went out to play together, went to parties, and cared about each other, but they did not develop further until September.
On the 20th, Zhou Xuan packed his bags and prepared to go to Auckland City in advance. In addition to renting an apartment near the arena, he also wanted to visit one person, Warriors head coach Nelson Sr.
"I don't understand why you have to meet the manager in advance, most players report on time, you don't want to bribe him, right? I warn you not to do that. Mitchell laughed.
"For what? Didn't you ask me to give the Clippers scouts some favors last time? ”
"That's the scout, that's the coach. Coaches like players who can execute tactics, not tricksters. Mitchell said.
This is the legendary Hades, is it difficult to deal with the little ghost? Zhou Xuan didn't want to sell Guanzi, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not here to give gifts, I just want to meet in advance and find my position." ”
"How do you find it?"
"Ask him how he's going to let me play, tell him how I'm best at playing, and let him know that I can shoot from mid-range and from the outside, and if I show him motivation, he'll give me more opportunities in the preseason, right?" Zhou Xuan heard that the old Nelson was a crazy person and liked to be positive about the players.
Mitchell thought for a moment and nodded, "Go ahead, it might be good for you to do this." At the very least, Nelson Sr. is unlikely to let you make a cameo in the No. 2 position. ”
Of course, Corey. Margety, Stephen. Jackson, Corunna. Azubuke is a swingman, and even Ellis prefers the No. 2 position, which the Warriors have no shortage of right now, and the competition is very fierce. In the No. 1 position, Zhou Xuan has almost no competitors.
With his things and goodbye to his friends in Los Angeles, Zhou Xuan drove to Auckland. People who have just taken the driver's license like to drive, it feels like a passionate experience, the road conditions on the way are good, Zhou Xuan set off in the morning, the speed is not fast, and he has arrived at the destination at three o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's really inconvenient to have no acquaintances, where will the Chinese district be?" Zhou Xuan drove into the city and muttered to himself. In a completely different place, his psychic senses, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly woke up.
It's not the same here as Los Angeles. On the way, Zhou Xuan saw that the skin of several black people in Oakland was generally delicate, far more than many white people, and the healthy dark skin tone gave the facial features a very attractive beauty. On the side of the road, a tall black girl with big eyes and hair like Medusa on her head, dressed in the popular navy blue bohemian decadent style clothes and pants, but under her feet was a pair of exquisite and exquisite noble evening pink stiletto shoes, which seemed to be discordant, but made her unusually beautiful.
Isn't that the kind of fashion that the Olsen sisters like? God, I'm actually starting to pay attention to this, and I think black people are cool. I've changed a lot in the last six months, and I guess it will scare my parents when I see them again, right?
"Wow, that person is so handsome, I don't know what nationality Lu Dao is." While Zhou Xuan was waiting for the green light, he suddenly heard a girl next to him speaking in standard Mandarin.
Another woman said, "You be quiet, what if the Chinese understand?" ”
The women stuck out their tongues, they looked average, and they were dressed very coolly, probably international students here. Zhou Xuan was wearing a short-sleeved open-collar black T-shirt, which they helped pick out when he was shopping with the Olsen sisters, wearing sunglasses and leaning his arms against the car window, revealing his strong muscles, which was really cool. He now pays attention to his style at the advice of his sisters, and Mitchell also asks him to look as cool as possible and strive to become a super icon in basketball.
"Hey, are you international students from China?" Zhou Xuan pulled over the car, took off his sunglasses, and greeted him in Mandarin.
"Hehe, it's really Chinese, hello handsome guy." The girl who said he was handsome and had a ponytail greeted him very generously.
"I just arrived in Auckland today, I don't know the place well, and I want to find a Chinese community to rent an apartment, do you know where Ludao is?" Zhou Xuan took out the map from his seat and shook it, and said, "I know that there are eight districts here, just tell me the general location." ”
He clearly underestimated his current charisma. The ponytail girl said: "Handsome guy, I can be your tour guide, are you willing to take me?" ”
"Liu Yang......" The companion looked at Zhou Xuan, took Liu Yang's hand and frowned.
"It's okay, he's not a bad guy at first glance, I'll make a lot of money if he's a bad guy, help me ask for leave in the afternoon, class isn't important anyway." Liu Yang said with a smile.
The bespectacled companion had no choice but to agree.
Zhou Xuan sweated when he heard their conversation, are Chinese girls so bold now? Women are not afraid, what am I afraid of?
He opened the car door, and the ponytail girl made it to the co-pilot's seat, looking like a little sister, and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Liu Yang." ”
"What are you studying, is it okay to skip class?"
"It's okay, I'm in the Chinese department, do I still need to work hard to learn Chinese?" It's just to mix up a diploma. ”
There were three black lines on Zhou Xuan's head, I don't know how to answer the call, Chinese learn Chinese, isn't this a waste of time?
Liu Yang smiled and asked, "Which Chinese area do you want to live in?" ”
"It's best to be in the Chinese area near the Golden State Warriors Oracle Arena, is there one?"
"Yes, you like to watch basketball too?"
"I like to watch it very much, and I play it myself." Zhou Xuan smiled: "How to walk your way, I invite you to dinner tonight to express my gratitude." By the way, my name is Zhou Xuan, Zhou Yu's Zhou, and Qiyu Xuan's Xuan. ”
Liu Yang instantly felt nostalgic for Chibi, and remembered the beautiful Zhou Lang who was Xuanyu. "Are you also an international student? It seems to be a bit late to report. ”
"I'm not a student, I'm here to work." Zhou Xuan was very proud when he said this, he didn't like to go to school, he never liked it.
"You're already working? I'm sorry, but you look young, like you're 20 years old. Liu Yang was surprised and asked, "Are you Chinese?" ”
"No, I'm Chinese, just arrived in the United States for two years, and I have been in Los Angeles before."
"At the junction ahead, turn right and go straight." Liu Yang pointed the way first, and then asked: "Shouldn't you be a Hollywood actor?" ”
"I'm a professional footballer, and I play at Oracle Arena." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"I'm not dreaming, am I? Are you the Chinese player who wants to join the Warriors? People in our class talk about you every day, and a lot of people are going to go to a public training session in a few days. Liu Yang opened his mouth wide and chattered.
"Am I that famous?" Zhou Xuan was even more proud.
"You're a national hero playing in the NBA, can you not support it? And they all say you're amazing, you're the boyfriend of Sister Olsen, and you know a lot of people. Liu Yang has changed from a tour guide obsessed with handsome guys to a fan.
"Sister Olsen and I are good friends, not that kind of relationship." Zhou Xuan explained. It seems that there has been an affair in Los Angeles, and the sisters didn't take it seriously.
"Shall we take a few pictures in a moment? I have a camera in my bag, hehe. I don't actually pay attention to basketball, and I don't believe that some people in the class say that you are very handsome, so that's true. You've got to stay with the Warriors. Liu Yang said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll play for the Warriors in the NBA next season."
"Why do you want to rent an apartment and not buy a villa to live in?"
Liu Yang asked a question that made Zhou Xuan faint. This is buying a villa, how can it be so easy to say it from her mouth? Hasn't the media found out that I am from an ordinary family? He smiled bitterly: "I can't afford to buy a villa now, and even the car is second-hand." ”
"You don't look like a poor person by looking at your appearance, even if you can't afford it now, you'll be rich for a season."
Liu Yang is a self-acquaintance, not at all like he and Zhou Xuan just met, and the two chatted all the way to the Chinese area. If there is no acquaintance to lead it, plus Chinese identity, it is difficult to rent a house in the Chinese area. Zhou Xuan was lucky, as soon as he arrived here, he met a cheerful fellow. He chose a community near the stadium and rented a one-bedroom and two-hall apartment, more than 50 square meters, with a small dining room, which is very spacious and can cook, simple furniture and beds, as well as an old TV.
In this way, Zhou Xuan felt that it was okay. Once the season starts, the life of an NBA player is to fly around and play on the road, back-to-back of all kinds, with not many holidays, and the apartment is a place to sleep. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still some time before eating, and Liu Yang wanted to be a tour guide to take him around the city.
Of course, he would not refuse. I made friends as soon as I arrived in Golden State, which was a good sign.
