037 Famous
It's a new day, and it's a new beginning. Lu Ke got up early at the usual time, followed the daily route, and jogged all the way to school.
UCLA's campus in Los Angeles' Westwood District is a bustling area with the Coast Highway to the west, leading to Malibu, where countless rich and celebrities have settled; To the east is the city center of Los Angeles, where Hollywood-related attractions such as the Walk of Fame and the Kodak Theater are gathered; To the north is Beverly Hills, a prime villa area for Hollywood stars; To the south is Santa Monica, with sand, sea and sun.
The distance from the apartment to the campus is about 5 kilometers. Now, in order to complete the daily training tasks of the system, Lu Ke runs to the school on time every day, runs around the school, and finally runs to the training ground to complete the rest of the distance. Then go to the bathroom of the training ground to clean up and get ready to start the day's study schedule.
In this way, not only can you complete the training, but you can also save on daily transportation costs, and at the same time, you will not delay your daily learning and training. Kill more than one stone.
Upon entering the campus in Westwood, the entire campus presents a semi-open layout, with spacious driveways, quaint libraries, modern academic buildings, towering trees, and young students...... The sight is full of sunny energy and bright vitality, such a California, it is always difficult to refuse.
"Good morning."
"Good morning!"
There is no official gate on campus, but in order to prevent outside traffic, a fence has been set up at the entrance to check the entry and exit of vehicles, and there are guards on duty at all times in the pavilion next to it. In the past five months, Lu Ke has been running on time and passing on time every morning, as if a set of routes has been formed, and the guards already know him, so he will take the initiative to say hello every day, and Lu Ke will also nod his head.
"Last night's game was amazing!" The guard waved his fist at Lu Ke, and his eyebrows fluttered clearly, which clearly conveyed his excitement and excitement at the moment, which made Lu Ke laugh, raised his right hand, made a saluting gesture, and replied in a loud voice, "Thank you." But the footsteps did not stop, still following the rhythm of running, and continued to move forward.
"Good morning!" After running out a short distance, someone shouted on the side of the road, Lu Ke didn't react at first, but then he saw a group of people on the right, about five or six people, they collectively waved their right hands and shouted excitedly, "Good morning!" The voices came and went.
Lu Ke couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't know them, he didn't know any of them, but he still waved his hand politely, which was considered to have said hello. After running out, there was a scream of ghosts crying wolves behind him, and they celebrated happily, and the campus suddenly became noisy in the early morning.
But that's just the beginning.
On the running road around the campus, some people took the initiative to greet him every once in a while, some just smiled and nodded, some shouted excitedly, and even one person ran over and walked side by side with him, not saying anything, just stupidly and happily watching him laugh all the time, laughing so much that Lu Ke was a little hairy. Fortunately, this person's stamina was not enough, and after running for less than five minutes, he couldn't hold on, and Lu Ke took the opportunity to distance himself and gradually left him behind.
Usually he runs around the campus for about twenty-five to thirty minutes, but today he finished in eighteen minutes, and the speed was so obvious that when he entered the training ground, his breath was a little unstable.
The focus of running 10,000 meters a day is not on speed, but on endurance and stability, but now Lu Ke also realizes that he should start trying to run at different speeds and complete the task of 10,000 meters at different speeds, because in the process of the race, the consumption of physical strength is not uniform, but constantly changing.
But before he could clear his thoughts, there was a burst of cheers and coaxing in his ears, which startled Lu Ke. followed the sound and looked over, and then saw more than a dozen people gathered in the stands, they were waving their fists excitedly at this time, roaring and shouting at Lu Ke frantically, just like a little girl who saw an idol at the concert.
Lu Ke didn't expect this scene at all, and the route he ran around made a bend.
It's just over seven o'clock. As is customary, since most classes start at nine o'clock, the whole campus has just woken up and is quiet. On the training ground, there was only the staff on duty, and there was no one to see at all. But now, there is a small group of people in the audience, and they are still shouting wildly?
The world is absolutely insane!
Coming back to his senses, Lu Ke listened carefully, only to find that they were shouting, "Bambi! Bambi! The voices that came and went were constantly trembling, and even tore apart because they were too excited, began to split, and began to be hoarse, the scene was really a little joyful, which made Lu Ke chuckle.
Obviously, last night's game made Lu Ke a star on the entire campus.
In high schools and colleges in the United States, the sports atmosphere is very strong, and the most beautiful in high school is undoubtedly the quarterback, or the captain of the basketball team, and so on; In college, the game is more professional and more professional, and students will cheer for a victory or wreak havoc for a defeat, even for students who are not interested in sports, which is a sense of school pride.
Having lived in the United States for so many years, Lu Ke knows this. However, he didn't expect that one day, he would become the protagonist, at least not so quickly. After all, he is Chinese, and there are still no Chinese who can integrate into the mainstream in this immigrant society.
Lu Ke waved his hand to the supporters and said hello briefly, but his footsteps did not stop, he continued to move forward, burying his head and starting to run in circles. Today's running circle is really a bit weird, because there are always strange sounds in the audience stands, just like the male protagonist in an idol drama, with a halo everywhere, and then there is a group of who follow him-
Although it seems inappropriate to use the word "nymphomaniac" to describe the group of enthusiastic fans in the stands, this is the only word that comes to Lu Ke's mind at this time.
Jeff looked at Lu Ke, who was running seriously, and couldn't help but start jumping, "Nate, let me tell you, he is the savior, he is the savior of the Bruins!" "The excitement between the words can't be stopped, "Last night's game was over, the season was over, not only did he not stop to rest and be lazy, but he was also strict with himself, which is really rare!" Jesus Christ! Why hadn't the school found him before? ”
If Lu Ke heard the comment just now, he would seriously complain: he also knew that the season was over, if he could, he wanted to rest for a day or two, not because he was lazy, but because he could relax and adjust, and he could sprint to a higher goal by combining work and rest.
But, herein lies the problem. As of yesterday, his daily training plan has been implemented to "13/14", which means that if he gives up today, then the previous thirteen days of training will be in vain; But if he continues to do so today, he can earn another base point. Lu Ke didn't want to miss it.
Therefore, he is not "conscious", but "passive". However, after really devoting himself to running, Lu Ke also found that it was not as painful as he imagined, probably because of the persistence in the past five months, his body has developed a habit, and he is more adapted to such a rhythm. Maybe tomorrow he should continue to hold on too.
"Uh, have you ever thought that maybe it's because he's an Asian face?" Nate was sensitive to this fact.
Jeff said "grass" nonchalantly, "I don't care if he's Chinese or British." The point is that he has the ability, he has the talent, he has the perseverance, and he can lead us to victory and make the Trojans bow their heads! I just like him! I'll support him! He's my hero! ”
After saying that, Jeff turned his head and shouted to the other friends, "What do you say? ”
"Of course!"
"Absolutely!"
"Definitely!"
…… The bustling responses came and went, and then again a new round of cheers erupted, and they had not slept at all until dawn last night, and until now, apparently, they showed no signs of fatigue and fatigue, and this victory was enough to make them party for three days and three nights.
What could be more perfect than ending an entire season by stepping on the corpse of a sworn enemy? Yes, four touchdowns in the fourth quarter completed a shocking reversal!
"Bambi! Bambi! Jeff saw Lu Ke, whose footsteps were gradually slowing down, and couldn't wait to shout, "Bambi, can you sign my scarf?" ”
Lu Ke was stunned, exhaled a long breath, inhaled slowly, adjusted his breathing, looked at Jeff with a stunned face, just nodded reflexively, and then saw the group of supporters jump down from the stands, swarming over, and surrounded him, "God, Bambi, last night's game was so exciting!" You are God! Oh, God! ”
Lu Ke looked at the team support scarf handed in front of him, as well as the carbon pen handed over, which was definitely the first time for him. In fact, even for the team's main players, the signing culture is not thriving, after all, the college league is not a professional league after all, and the support of fans comes more from the school's sense of pride than from the love and support of the stars.
"I tried to buy a jersey for you, but ...... There is actually no one in the school shop, so I chose the scarf, I hope you won't mind. Jeff said excitedly, puffing up, his face not red and not panting.
"No, of course not." Lu Ke took the scarf and carbon pen, "What's your name?" ”
"Jeff. My name is Jeff Locke! Jeff looked at Lu Ke with bright eyes, "I'm your big fan!" You're really outstanding! Wow! ”
Jeff's excitement and excitement seemed to infect Lu Ke, and the smile on the corner of his mouth involuntarily rose, and he signed the first fan autograph of his career on this silk scarf:
"To Jeff Locke, thank you for your support. Lu Ke. ”
He chose to sign his Chinese name, which is his root and his soul.
