Chapter 35 Let's fight the landlord
Seattle's night is sultry.
Lu Fei remembered that every time he came to Seattle to play an away game, he would stay at a hotel called Maple Leaf not far from the SuperSonics Key Arena, although it was a bit expensive, but he thought that the money was still worth it.
He took a taxi and sat in the car with Gu Tang.
The breeze blew the tips of Gu Tang's hair through the gap in the car window, and she didn't know whether she had drunk too much or because her skin was too thin, so she only felt that her whole cheeks were red and hot.
The street scenes on both sides were receding, and she gently leaned on Lu Fei's shoulder.
"Why don't I go back?"
"I'm not at ease when you go back alone so late."
"Then you send me back."
"I'm a little tired, I'll send you back after a while."
“……”
The taxi driver looked through the rearview mirror and looked at the couple behind them muttering something they couldn't understand, but from his expression, he could also deduce that this was a story of a scumbag taking a girl to open a room.
arrived at the hotel, paid for the car, and Lu Fei took Gu Tang's arm and got out of the car.
He took out his documents and opened the room, and was about to call Gu Tang upstairs, when the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated twice.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, the number starting with +86 was called from China, and the number was a little familiar.
"Who?" Gu Tang poked his head over and asked.
"I don't know."
Lu Fei ignored it and stuffed his phone into his pocket: "I've opened the room, let's go up." ”
"Do you really want to go up?" Gu Tang stepped back.
"Of course, aren't you going to talk about the future?"
Lu Fei grabbed her arm and dragged her upstairs, Gu Tang's face turned red, racking his brains to find a reason.
"We can talk about it tomorrow."
"I'm going to play tomorrow."
"Then we'll talk about it when you come back from the game."
"You're going to go when you come back from the game."
"You can call me......"
As soon as Gu Tang said to make a call, the mobile phone in Lu Fei's pocket rang again, Lu Fei just took out the mobile phone, and the other party hung up again.
"Who's fucking smacking and hanging."
Lu Fei scolded while opening the door of the room, inserting the room card, and with a "ding" sound, the lights and air conditioners in the room were automatically turned on.
The door closed, and Gu Tang sat helplessly on the edge of the bed.
Lu Fei glanced at the number on his mobile phone, and always felt a little familiar, "You go take a shower first, and I'll call this person back." ”
"Don't wash it." Gu Tang refused.
"Whatever you want, I'll call first."
The TV in the room showed the local news and was a bit noisy.
Lu Fei found a secluded corner, dialed the phone, and after a few beeps, a thick voice came from the other side of the phone: "Hey, Lu Fei, hello, I'm Guo Qiang......"
"Ah...... Coach Guo. Lu Fei thought about it, fortunately, he didn't scold the phone the moment it was connected, "Coach Guo, why did you call me and hang up after two rings?" ”
Hearing Guo Qiang's voice, Lu Fei felt very cordial, although he only stayed in the basketball team of the University of Mining for more than ten days, but he had a special sense of dependence, sometimes he would think of those teammates, Wang Zhuang, Gao Yunfei, Luo Dahai, there was the starting point of basketball in his life, and it was the place where his dream began.
Guo Qiang coughed lightly and said, "Oh, I may have accidentally bumped into it, I am reluctant to give you an international call with such a small salary, Lu Fei, how are you in the United States now......
Lu Fei felt that he must be worried about the high cost of the phone, and the emotion just now was instantly shattered.
"Coach Guo, I'm fine now, I just entered the varsity team of the University of Washington, and now I'm playing in the NCAA." Lu Fei said.
Guo Qiang was also very happy to hear that Lu Fei was still playing basketball: "Then you kid must play well, and you can't embarrass us Chinese in the United States." ”
"Yes, don't worry, Coach."
"That, Lu Fei, Coach Guo has something to ask you for help with." Guo Qiang was stunned twice on the phone, and then said: "I have a friend's child in Washington, and I told him about a player in my hand going abroad and studying in Washington during the last game in Jinling, so he asked you to help take care of his child." ”
"Coach, I'm not in Washington." Lu Fei smiled.
"You're not in Washington?" Guo Qiang's voice paused, and then said: "Well, Lu Fei, if you are too troublesome, forget it, I am a friend, I will ask you casually." ”
Lu Fei hurriedly explained: "Coach Guo, you misunderstood me, I studied at the University of Washington, but the University of Washington is in Seattle, not in Washington, the Washington you are talking about is Washington, D.C., right?" ”
"Huh? How many Washingtons are there in the United States? Guo Qiang was stunned.
"More than twenty." Lu Fei smiled bitterly.
"Okay, I'll talk to the old advisor clearly." Guo Qiang said: "But if she is really in your school, you must help take care of it." ”
"Definitely, definitely."
Lu Fei smiled, for this kind of small thing, he would not refuse, he asked casually: "Coach, what is the name of your friend's child?" ”
The voice on the other side of the phone hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be whispering to the person next to him, "What's the name of Lao Gu's daughter?" ”
After getting a definite answer, Guo Qiang said into the microphone: "His daughter seems to be called Gu Tang." ”
Lu Fei was stunned.
looked up at Gu Tang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at the night scene outside the window, and suddenly felt a little weak.
Helping to take care of other people's daughters and taking care of other people's daughters in the hotel?
If Guo Qiang hadn't called, I was afraid that he might still take care of the bed for a while.
"Hey, Lu Fei?"
"Ah, Coach Guo, I'm here, I know the person you said, although we are not in the same city, but I can often fly over to see when I'm fine, you can rest assured that I will take care of her." Lu Fei assured helplessly.
"Thank you then, I'm hanging."
"You're welcome, but Coach Guo forgot to tell you one thing, you will also be charged for answering the phone for international calls......"
"Dut...... Toot ......"
Before Lu Fei finished speaking, he heard the sound of hurriedly hanging up.
Gu Tang sat on the edge of the bed, his fingers rubbing the sheets, his palms were full of sweat, and the moonlight outside the window was bright and clean, sprinkled on the ground like a layer of silver frost.
She heard Lu Fei's footsteps coming over.
"Finished calling?"
"Hmm."
"Who?"
"Coach Guo, the former coach of the University of Mines."
"Oh."
The two men fell silent suddenly.
After a while, Lu Fei looked at the moonlight outside the window and sighed long: "Gu Tang ......"
"Huh?"
"You can't leave the room when it's opened, right?"
"Of course."
"Then I'll call Daddy Chen later, let's fight the landlord at night."
"Daddy must have slept."
"Then let's play."
"You can't play with two people, what the hell is wrong with you? Are you angry that I don't go to the shower? Gu Tang looked at Lu Fei hesitantly, and said with a slightly red face: "I'll go wash it, you wait for me for a while." ”
She was just about to get up when the phone rang in her bag.
She took out her mobile phone and looked at it, her face changed suddenly, and she made a silent gesture with her fingers, and Lu Fei turned off the TV alertly.
"Hey, Dad...... I'm at the hotel...... Well, I'll be back tomorrow...... What the? Your friend's student...... No, not really...... Well? What is it called? Lu Fei? ”
After Lu Fei heard his name, he felt that it was too late to buy a deck of poker.
