Chapter 65: Little Fat Man and the School Girl
"Killing" is a common thing in the media, and some news is so naΓ―ve that people are helpless. Just like Yi Jianlian, even if he played badly, the news often used descriptions similar to "8 points and 5 boards", as if he was an all-star, and the inconsequential few points seemed to be extremely important. Over time, Yi Jianlian was disgusted, he didn't do anything himself, he rarely spoke, just played basketball.
Now it's Zhou Xuan's turn, if the media says that he has beaten Ridno and Sessions in these two games, it is estimated that everyone will agree, that is a fact. But to say that Zhou Xuan is "China's Stockton", with an elegant temperament and invincible organization, is to deliberately recruit him black.
Who is Stockton? The great playmaker Bob Cousy once said passionately: "If there is a word for 'playmaker' in the dictionary, it must be John Stockton!" "Stockton is the No. 1 assists player in all time, with nine consecutive seasons as assist leader. Not only that, but he also has accurate shooting and has long been among the best in shooting percentage in ball-handling guards. It's too far to compare a newcomer to the league with Stockton.
After the game, Zhou Xuan called home and chatted for more than an hour to inquire about the recent situation. His family's financial problems have been resolved, and he can go to the United States to prepare for the upcoming regular season.
The two teams did not leave immediately and toured the Great Wall under the guidance of the organizers. The National Day holiday has long passed, and the Great Wall is not a holiday, and there is no embarrassment of crowds. These people are not as popular as Kobe, James, and Wade, nor have they caused too much commotion or even riots like they did during the Olympics. Everyone took a lot of photos, bought a lot of souvenirs, and returned with a full load. The only person who didn't buy a lot of things was Zhou Xuan, who bought special gifts in China for Chinese studying in the United States? That's just pointless.
After playing in China, the Warriors' preseason warm-up has ended, with 4 wins and 1 loss, an almost perfect record. They have plenty of time to rest, adjust and wait for the New Orleans Hornets, who play seven games in the preseason.
Zhou Xuan also wanted to rest for two days when he returned to Auckland, so he called Nie Yuyan, where he was most familiar with Nie Yuyan, Liu Yang was also very talkative, but he had a boyfriend, and it was not good to have too many contacts.
"Hey, are you back?" A pleasant female voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I'm back, I want to eat with you in the evening." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"Okay." Nie Yuyan immediately agreed.
Most people ask girls and say, "Is it okay to eat together?" "Would you like to eat with me?" Something like that. But Zhou Xuan asked someone to ask her opinion at all, and let her face her heart. If you are willing to go, you will not refuse. Unwilling to go, Zhou Xuan didn't force it. This is also psychology.
Zhou Xuan drove to the school to find Nie Yuyan, there was no class today, and Liu Yang also went out in the afternoon, she was watching TV in the dormitory.
Nie Yuyan also wore a sportswear, and asked with a smile: "Is it too early to go to dinner at this time?" β
"Of course it's a bit early to eat, so I want to go to the supermarket to buy something first, what do you think about going to my house to cook? I want to try your craft. Zhou Xuan asked with a smile.
"It's not fair, you know how to learn from the heart. Oh my God, such a terrible offer, I didn't want to say no. Nie Yuyan smiled bitterly.
Zhou Xuan likes to cook, and there is also a kitchen in the rented apartment, and he also bought a set of kitchenware, which is cleaned up beautifully, and there is also a large refrigerator, which Nie Yuyan noticed when she went to Zhou Xuan's house last time. Attend a dance party, watch a ball game...... This is only the third time they have met, and it is a little too quick to go home and be alone, but she also believes that Zhou Xuan will not do anything to her, he doesn't look like that kind of man. She blushed a little when she thought of this, was she thinking too much?
"Get in the car."
"Yes."
The two went to the Walmart supermarket to study what ingredients to buy. Nie Yuyan said that she has a strong taste and likes spicy food, and Zhou Xuan is ready to make Mao Xuewang. Hemp! Hot! Fresh! Scald! Joyfully! And what Nie Yuyan is going to do is a fish-flavored eggplant pot, a French hunter's mushroom roast chicken. Three dishes were enough for two people, and they didn't want to call anyone else to come along.
When she arrived at the apartment, Nie Yuyan felt that she was too bold, it was getting dark, and she followed the man home, such an atmosphere made her blush and her heart beat.
Zhou Xuan went into the kitchen to wash the ingredients and asked, "Which of us starts to do it first, my movements are super fast, and it will be finished in a while." β
"I'll do it first, let's Bibi."
Nie Yuyan's parents have been away from home for a long time, and when she was in school, the family invited a very powerful confinement sister-in-law, who had worked as a chef before, because of the wrong ingredients, she was allergic to eating at a party, and almost killed her, and was revoked from being a chef. She has studied with this master for many years, and she can be regarded as a disciple.
Her hands-on ability is indeed very strong, the two dishes are not troublesome, and they are really full of color and flavor, and Zhou Xuan, who originally wanted to show his hand again, was taken aback. Especially the mushroom roast chicken of the French hunter, he has never heard of this dish, it is very distinctive.
Zhou Xuan also entered the kitchen, Mao Xuewang's dish is very simple, as long as the ingredients are matched, everyone will make it. After a while, Gongfu brought a large bowl to the table, and during this time, he also steamed rice. Most Chinese prefer to eat rice rather than bread.
The two first praised each other's cooking skills, and then chatted while eating, Zhou Xuan talked about his experience in China these days, and the man named Jim was caught by the handle, and Nie Yuyan, who was no longer entangled.
Zhou Xuan said curiously: "I don't understand, why does a girl like you like to cook?" β
Nie Yuyan smiled: "Actually, I'm interested in cooking because of a classmate, do you remember what I told you about the fat man who walked smoothly during the spring outing?" β
"Uh......" Zhou Xuan didn't expect it at all.
The teacher praised him at a class meeting, saying that he was the most sensible child, and his parents were very touched by the fact that he could cook for them at home when he came home late from work. No one in the class was more self-reliant than him. At that time, I wanted to learn how to cook well, and it was delicious, so that my parents would not go out to socialize every day and not go home to eat with me, and that was the reason why I entered the kitchen in the first place......" Nie Yuyan smiled.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect you to be because of this. Do you remember what that little fat man's last name was? Does it happen to be surnamed Zhou? Zhou Xuan suddenly felt that there was really fate in the world, and maybe some things had already been arranged by God.
"Hey, his real surname is Zhou...... Can you guess that? β
"Not a guess." Zhou Xuan got up and opened the laptop, let Nie Yuyan sit on the sofa, and said lightly: "There is something I think I should confess to you, I originally wanted to wait for you to find out by yourself, but forget it, it's too difficult." Didn't you say it felt like we'd known each other for a long time? You're right, we've known each other for a long time. β
"Huh?" Nie Yuyan was stunned, how could she not be impressed?
"Don't show this expression, don't worry, you're not Luo Sangshi, you haven't lost your memory." Zhou Xuan said while hanging up the website of the agent to log in to China: "I know that you lived in Jinan when you were a child and went to primary school in Yingdong, you can understand it by looking at the photos." β
Zhou Xuan took out a photo of Nie Yuyan when she was a child from the blog album, and the photo with her was a little fat man who was about the same height.
"You are Zhou Yu? How is this possible? Nie Yuyan looked at the photo, her mouth was open like Yao Chen, and her eyes were as wide as Zhang Xiaohui. On the day of the prom, she also said that she was holding hands with a little fat man on a spring outing in elementary school. Later, she transferred to another school, and she still remembers the events of that year, as well as the name Zhou Yu.
Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly: "This is me." And when I was a child, I told you that our names all have a bit of a history. My dad was very handsome when he was young, and he wanted me to inherit his merits and named me Zhou Yu, and when I grew up, I was Mei Zhou Lang. Because my dad is a chef, he often brings delicious food from restaurants, and when I was a child, I was very hungry, and I ended up eating very fat. Do you know that Zhou Yu is a short-lived ghost in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", ...... is still cautious and angry, and later my mother often said that this name is not good, so I changed it when I was in junior high school. β
Nie Yuyan looked at the photo, and then looked at Zhou Xuan's face, her facial features were still the same, but she was thinner, and she giggled. "It's amazing, how did you get so thin? And he's so tall, and he still plays basketball. β
"I play basketball because of you. When you were in elementary school, you had a good relationship with Gu Dongdong, who was a sports expert, and many people said that you liked his kind of person who was good at sports. Zhou Xuan said affectionately.
"Really?"
"No, I don't want to lie to you, I actually play basketball to lose weight......"
Nie Yuyan punched Zhou Xuan, which scared her, if she didn't have the latter sentence, she would be very moved.
Zhou Xuan was in a good mood, and said, "Do you know the way?" When I was a child, I thought of you as my best friend. A lot of people laughed at me, and one winter my mom bought me a green down jacket that I wore out, and everyone called me 'mobile mailbox'. It's just that you don't laugh at me, talk to me, walk side by side with me during the spring outing, and are willing to hold my hand, I was very happy at that time. β
"Why didn't you tell me when you were a kid?" Nie Yuyan took a deep breath, she also felt that the two met in Auckland, and it was very fateful.
"You're a school girl, I often talk to you, and I might be thrown down from the upstairs by some male classmates." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"How can they be so precocious?" After Nie Yuyan knew that Zhou Xuan was a classmate, she spoke more openly than before.
"Now, classmate Nie, do you suddenly feel that I am closer to me? I think we're super fated. β
Nie Yuyan nodded, now she understood what Zhou Xuan was willing to help her solve her troubles as soon as they met and became friends with her. With such fate, will Zhou Xuan be his true son? In high school, many classmates fell in love, in pairs, and she has always been single, she has never been interested in anyone, and she doesn't know what kind of person she is waiting for.
Then she had another question, could it be that he was good to me just because he was an old classmate, and he didn't like me anymore?
