Puff, puff, puff.

There was a faint sound of the heart hitting the chest above the eardrum, and the short silence seemed to be as long as a century, and then it was Lu Ke who took the initiative to break the deadlock, "For me, you are also a very attractive person." Wait, this is not the first time you have heard of this sentence, right? If so, you should consider changing jobs. ”

The relaxed and teasing tone suddenly dissolved the atmosphere, and Candace couldn't help but break the effort, and complained speechlessly, "Did you just find out now?" Is the reaction arc a little too long? Are you sure you don't need to change careers? Is it really good that the quarterback is so slow to react? ”

"Shhhh Lu Ke didn't refute, but said so, which made Candace on the other end of the phone really cry and laugh.

"Knock knock", there was a knock at the door, and Lu Ke shouted, "Please come in." Then he spoke into the microphone again, "I'm sorry, I've got something to do here, I'll email you later." By the way, I watched the TV recording of this year's catwalk, and God, you actually became the opening show? It's so exciting! Congratulations! ”

"Ha, you should know by now how stupid your question was, right?" Candace also teased back with a smile, and after saying goodbye to each other, she didn't drag it out any longer, and simply hung up the phone neatly.

There was a busy tone on the phone, and then she regained her calm, but Candace still sat there, holding her mobile phone in her hand, stunned, her brain was blank, she didn't seem to have any thoughts, but she seemed to have no beginning, and she froze there, biting her lower lip gently, and just remained motionless.

"Candace? Candace! The shouts in her ears exploded in her ears from far and near, but Candace still didn't respond.

It wasn't until a force of impact hit her shoulder hard, breaking her balance, that Candace came back to her senses, and then she saw her roommate, dressed in fluffy pajamas, with a gossip on his face, "What's wrong?" What the hell are you thinking? It's not like you're starting to think about men, are you? Oh roar? ”

The babbling coax made Candace grab the pillow on the sofa and smash it, "Yes, I was thinking about your boyfriend, and I actually picked out a set of pajamas for Christmas presents?" And it's a cute version? God, are you sure he likes women? ”

"Candace!" There was an angry roar, and then the two girls began to fight a pillow fight, and the scene was so lively.

……

It was Sophie Brooke who entered the lounge.

Lu Ke was slightly surprised, "Those difficult reporters actually died down like this?" ”

"I told them that now they have to wait for the results of the examination." Sophie said lightly, "This is the purpose of our visit to the hospital today, and before we get the results, the official naturally has nothing to say." ”

In less than five minutes, Sophie managed to silence the reporters and complete a simple official speech; However, the reporters still did not leave, but waited quietly at the entrance of the hospital, and they did not get a result today, and they will not give up.

"When the inspection is over, you leave straight through the back door. Those reporters don't bother. Sophie made a special trip to inform Lu Ke of the progress. This week's break has been relatively short and they will have to do everything they can to get out of the pitch and earn a quieter and more relaxed environment for their players.

After a brief explanation, Sophie was about to leave, but then noticed that Lu Ke still hadn't changed his clothes, and couldn't help but ask a question mark, "I thought the examination was about to start, what, did the doctor let you rest here and wait for a while?" As soon as the words fell, Sophie noticed the note on the coffee table—

Lu Ke casually put it on the coffee table just now.

A string of numbers, a name. With a simple scan, all the information can be included in the eyes, Sophie couldn't help but shake her head again and again, and said in amazement, "God, do all professional athletes only think in terms of the lower part of their body?" Today, you have come here for a check-up, please stay focused and don't get into trouble, isn't it difficult? An hour, two hours, can't you bear it? ”

Seeing that Lu Ke was about to open his mouth to refute, Sophie began to attack like a cannon, "Now that there are more than thirty reporters gathered outside, they are waiting to break the news, and your behavior may become a handle." ”

"Did you know that after yesterday's fight, more and more people are watching your every move, and they want to bury you in the grave, and you're now burying your career?" Sophie gushed, her anger still rising, "The hospital, at least in the hospital, please be respectful, okay?" ”

Suddenly, Sophie seemed to remember something, and the words stopped, and she looked around cautiously, looking around the room, as if she was worried that her intrusion had disturbed something good, while the other person remained in the room.

Lu Ke, who was quietly paying attention to all this, shook his head with a chuckle, and complained mercilessly, "Isn't it too late to start checking now?" ”

Sophie's eyes widened, staring at Lu Ke deadly, without the slightest intention of joking.

Lu Ke could only raise his hand in surrender, "This is just the phone number left by the nurse for me, I didn't plan to contact her, and she is not in this room." After finishing speaking, Lu Ke also added, "I thought that this is a very normal thing, there is nothing to make a fuss about, or is it that during the regular season, even the players' bedrooms/affairs must be reported to the team?" ”

"Of course not!" Sophie said eagerly, taking two steps forward, and then realizing her gaffe, she said in a panic, "It's just for you, just for today." You should know that there has been enough focus on you in the last two weeks, it's been a hot one, and the last thing you need now is lace news, otherwise the advantage built up in yesterday's game could be ruined and you have to take responsibility for your career. ”

Lu Ke didn't speak, just gently retracted his jaw to show that he understood.

Suddenly, there was silence, a second, two seconds. Only then did Lu Ke realize that it was now the order of his answers, "Understood!" No problem! By the way, in a moment, I might get together with an old friend, a former college friend, a reporter for the New York Times, Emily Puvo, she's a woman, and that shouldn't be a problem, right? ”

"No problem?" Sophie's eyes were full of incredulity, "She's a woman, and she's a journalist, how can you be sure that she won't set you up?" Perhaps, the last gossip news was broken by her! ”

Lu Ke didn't refute, just nodded.

But that well-behaved and innocent appearance, in Sophie's eyes, seemed meaningful.

It's like this every time, standing in front of Lu Ke, always falling behind, this feeling is really unpleasant, Sophie bent down and picked up the note, rolled it up in the palm of her hand, and said righteously, "Forbidden!" In hospitals, that's forbidden! It's best not to call her, and it's best not to go to nightclubs or bars, otherwise the official position of the team will be very difficult. ”

Lu Ke still didn't speak, and continued to nod his head to show understanding.

Sophie's follow-up words were stuck in her throat like this, and there was a wave of irritability, "Say something, do you understand?" ”

"Yes, I see." Lu Ke suddenly came to his senses, "I'm just curious, is the management of the team so strict now?" Should I talk to Jim? Or maybe it's Trent? Because I'm a very hardworking and dedicated player, the team can have complete peace of mind. ”

Sophie's eyes widened and she looked at Lu Ke deadly, "What are you hinting at?" ”

Could it be that Lu Ke is implying that this is her personal behavior?

This, this is so funny! She has nothing to do with Lu Ke at all, so she doesn't care about Lu Ke's off-the-field behavior; No, she didn't care about Lu Ke's behavior at any time. The reason for this request is just to protect the interests of the team, and I don't want to ruin the situation that has been so hard to manage. That's all!

Lu Ke looked at Sophie, who was angry and angry, a smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth, and then he shook his head gently, "No, there is no hint of anything." Rest assured, I will comply. ”

Such words sounded like an accommodating compromise, as if she was coaxing a child, which made Sophie stuck in her throat in one breath, unable to spit it out, unable to swallow, and looked at Lu Ke in a daze, but saw Lu Ke raise his hands and make a gesture of surrender, even if there was no sound at all, his expression and movements were full of countless deep meanings.

However, Sophie has no way to refute it, because once she says it, she will fall behind. So, she could only dodge and stomp her feet, turned to leave, and left a sentence, "Hurry up and change your clothes and get checked." Finally, he walked briskly out of the lounge, out of sight.

"Bang", the door closed a little loudly, as if Sophie was protesting.

But Lu Ke didn't hold back, he chuckled lightly, and when he made up for Sophie's appearance standing in the corridor at this time, he really couldn't help laughing-

"Sorry! I'm sorry! Outside the door, Sophie was also regretting, and she quickly nodded her head to apologize. This is the hospital, and the sound of the door closing just now is so loud that it echoes through the corridor, which is definitely rude, and even if no one protests, Sophie must still say sorry.

Deep down, Sophie grinded her teeth fiercely: It's all because of that damn Lu Ke! It's all because of him!

I quickly walked to the end of the hallway, found the bathroom, threw the note in my hand into the toilet, and flushed it out.

As for Lu Ke, who stayed in the lounge, after chuckling, he quickly straightened up and changed into a set of light and loose clothes to prepare for the next examination.

Everything is so abnormal today, the journalists, the nurses, Candace and Sophie, even Emily. Could it be that yesterday's game had such an impact? Simply changed the operation of the entire universe?

Just a time to change clothes, the active-minded Lu Ke has already written a science fiction article in his mind.
