If Yang Yiming has the opportunity to recall the scene of his first meeting with Chen Ruoya in the future, he will definitely feel the wonder of fate.

Of course, he won't know yet.

He and his girlfriend Meritis were eating an Italian dinner, and as soon as they finished dessert, Chen Ruoya and his two friends broke into the restaurant. The two male friends insisted on taking a photo with Yang Yiming despite the dissuasion of the welcome manager, and Chen Ruoya, who was hiding behind, was also helpless. But she just wanted to apologize for the two friends without aggression and express her dislike for their recklessness with her expressions, but her clear and innocent eyes looked at the couple who were dining, not only did Yang Yiming look a little shaky, but also instantly won the trust of another woman present.

This is not a competency that everyone possesses.

The ability to gain the trust of the same sex in a short period of time, especially among women—there is no skill in this, except that someone can inherently make people feel unthreatening; But among all the human strengths, only the ones that are "born" are the most difficult.

Meritis stopped the dutiful welcome manager — after Chen Ruoyan voluntarily confessed that she was also a fan of Yang Yiming — and then arranged her next to her boyfriend Yang Yiming, and the five of them gathered around and took a photo.

In the photo, the two boys who got their wish were the happiest, doing all kinds of funny and exaggerated actions, and one even asked Yang Yiming to sign his T-shirt. Meritis and Chen Ruoya's expressions were the most natural, and both of them showed a calm but happy smile to the camera. Chen Ruoya's face was flushed, and she was actually the same as Meritis who drank two glasses of red wine, but her body still maintained a decent distance from the protagonist on the same side. On the contrary, Yang Yiming's expression was slightly nervous, as if he was reluctantly pushed into the spotlight surrounded by male and female fans, a little overwhelmed, and there was nowhere to escape.

Of course, he wouldn't know that this was the beginning of his acquaintance with Chen Ruoya.

This photograph, taken on the evening of May 10, 2018, will document his embarrassment as he began the relationship.

It's a pity that people can't predict the future.

It seems that Chen Ruoya didn't expect that she and her two classmates planned to travel to Texas, and by the way, they were going to participate in the first game of the Western Conference Finals in Houston to cheer for the Rockets and Yang Yiming, but they were forcibly pulled to the restaurant to take photos with their idols. It may be a small commotion caused by Yang Yiming when he passed by the front hall, someone secretly took a photo of him and posted it on the Internet, and was captured by the kind of APP that pushes the whereabouts of celebrities, these two fanatical fans and classmates must also come to try their luck - they happened to be in a hotel not far from the city center at the time, and they had just finished checking in.

Chen Ruoyan definitely did not support this reckless plan. This is obviously not in line with her style of acting, and she never expected to approach her idol in this way: she loves to watch Yiming play, and she knows every game and highlight moment since he joined the NBA, and whenever she has time, she will watch the Rockets live, even if there is a one-hour time difference between her East Coast and Houston, and if the team goes to the West Coast away game, the time difference will become two hours, and it will be late at night. But she likes to watch these late-night games instead, she and Yang Yiming are separated by a screen, the sweat and shouts on the field can be seen and heard clearly in the dead of night, and she can concentrate on distinguishing which idol belongs to her. But that was enough for her, she could silently follow and support, but never thought of going any further, shortening the distance - as if that would be too dreamy and unreal.

But this is not real, it actually happened.

When the greeting manager with an Italian accent stopped her friend who was pushing in, Chen Ruoya had already realized how unreliable and bad it was. She wanted to just turn around and run away – she wasn't thinking about distance: if she was seen by an idol, would she be disgusted? But the ghost made a mistake, she actually poked out that half a step, she didn't know where she got the courage, but maybe not the courage, she just subconsciously wanted to express her apologies and minimize the bad impression she might leave on the idol. Risk control. Chen Ruoya couldn't imagine that her idol would dislike her future, so she finally chose to move forward instead of running away.

Of course, in the end, she was able to take a group photo and talk to her idol face-to-face, which greatly surprised her.

There are too many unknowns about the twist and development of fate, isn't it?

The one who stopped the welcome manager, beckoned her over, took the initiative to shake hands with her, and arranged for her to take pictures next to Yang Yiming must be Yang Yiming's girlfriend. She introduced herself as Meritis, a nice name, not at all like her Lynn, which seemed plain. But Meritis also complimented her name, maybe she just wanted to be kind.

Chen Ruoya naturally didn't mind the fact that Yang Yiming had a girlfriend. Jealousy, envy, resistance, she didn't feel it, maybe she never thought about going into the life of an idol - of course he will fall in love, get married, have children, just like he will continue to move forward on the basketball court, she firmly believes. These are all ordinary things, and she doesn't have any crossover with them, she just needs to keep her distance and pay attention silently. What's more, the blonde girl named Meritis in front of her is so beautiful and her personality is surprisingly good. She can think of a girlfriend who is suitable for an idol, and that's it.

But what fate looks like?

Its wonders cannot be perceived until it comes.

After the group photo, Chen Ruoya and her two classmates, Tony and Kevin—who don't have to laugh at their English names as domestic hair stylists, and who don't have any role in the story in the future—chatted with Yang Yiming and Meritis for a while. Tony and Kevin continued to dance, saying that they would wear a T-shirt signed by Yang Yiming to the Toyota Center to cheer, and they would also post today's group photo to their friends, and if the Rockets visited New York next season, they would invite more classmates to go to the scene together. All three of them were undergraduates at New York University, and Chen Ruoyan just listened quietly, occasionally smiling. But when she laughs, she laughs heartily, and today this matter has developed so far, and she is very happy to sit at a table and chat with these people, especially her idols.

"Hey, Ruoya, you must also have WeChat. Let me add you, if we go to New York, there will be a small number of 'internal invitation tickets', and I will let you know when the time comes, you can also come and play - you can get into the court seats. Meritis saw that Yang Yiming was surrounded by Tony Kevin's spittle star, and Chen Ruoyan just smiled and watched, so he whispered to her.

"Wow, is that really possible? Too flattered, won't cause you trouble. Through the introduction, Chen Ruoya already knew that the other party was the assistant of the Rockets, and of course it was good to give away tickets to the venue, but she didn't want to add to the burden on the other party.

"Of course it doesn't matter. I'm looking forward to you cheering us on - don't let Tony and Kevin know, I'll give it to you secretly. Meredith winked at Chen Ruoya.

"Mm-hmm, it must be kept secret." Chen Ruoyan pressed her index finger to her lips and responded to her. While Tony Kevin was chatting hotly, she quickly took out her mobile phone, called up the WeChat QR code, and handed it to Meritis. The latter turned half-sideways, blocking the view, and returned after sweeping. Looks like she's >

"Then let's say so."

"Thank you. I'm so happy, Meritis, I didn't expect to meet you today. I was so happy. Chen Ruoya's big eyes were full of smiles at this time.

Probably these eyes, this night rewrote her and the future of the people at this table.

The future of Meritis who just sent a friend request.

The future of Chen Ruoya and Yang Yiming.

In the future, he and her will have countless entanglements, and the story of this night is by no means as simple as a group photo taken by mistake. It's just that the parties involved can't foresee it yet.
