"Yiming, can I ask you another question?"

"Of course it's convenient. What's the problem? ”

"How are you and the foreign lady, hehe." After listening to Yang Yiming's review of the last quarter of the sixth game of the championship, Chen Ruoya seemed to be more interested, holding the head like a flower with both hands, showing a sly smile, staring at Yang Yiming.

"Foreign lady? Meritis, you say? ”

"That's right. Of course it's her—don't you have any other young ladies?" Be careful that I go to sue. Chen Ruoyan poked her mobile phone and said, "I have her >" Of course not. Yang Yiming hurriedly waved his hand, "There are no other foreign young ladies." It's just that the word little sister is really a little uncomfortable with Meritis. ”

"Little sister. Now it's all said that it's the lingua franca of the Internet. You're not going to be so out, are you! ”

"Well, young lady foreign." Yang Yiming repeated this word, as if he deliberately wanted to get used to it.

"Well, how are you and the foreign lady?"

"We're fine. Me and Meritis, we're fine. When Yang Yiming said this, his face turned red.

"What's a good way?" Chen Ruoyan got to the bottom of it.

"It's just good..."Yang Yiming is a little short of words.

"Exactly? Did Miss Meritis not return to China with you to participate in the Asian Games? Is she still in Houston now? How do you usually communicate, call, video? What to do when you have a time difference? ”

"Yes, Meritis is still in the United States, and there is actually a lot of preparation to be done in the summer, arranging plans for the whole year, and so on. Next month is the start of the new NBA season, in fact, it is one of the busiest times of the year, unlike us athletes... We usually talk on the phone and on video, and we chat when we have time. Although it is a time difference, and we are very busy with each other, we may not reply in time to the content sent in every chat, but we also have our own communication methods: we will often take photos of interesting things or places that we see, and post them on WeChat with some simple text. I'll shoot her, and she'll shoot me. This kind of conversation doesn't need to be answered right away, but we all know what's going on in each other's lives when we have a chance to see it, and then we can talk a few words. There's no pressure to 'reply immediately', but keep in touch. ”

"Wow, that's sweet!"

“Seet？” Yang Yiming asked puzzledly, "Don't you think we have a very helpless solution?" ”

"That's sweet, too. You have to know that many people fall in love, and in the end they become speechless. ”

"Yes."

"Really!" Chen Ruoyan nodded vigorously, trying to persuade Yang Yiming with the expression of a love expert.

"Well, then whatever you say, that's what you say."

"No, no, no, I haven't finished asking yet. About you two—"

"What other questions do you have?!" Yang Yiming looked frightened.

"Much. For example, you and Meritis, how did you meet, how long have you known each other, and then during these times, don't you feel any contradictions? It doesn't have to be that you quarrel, it may be from culture and background - after all, you are Chinese, she is an authentic American, right? ”

"Yes. We met formally at a Halloween party at her house, and it would probably be a year soon. It was a drag party, and I had an arm injury..."

"Oh, I remember that injury! Your first 'officially' injury in the NBA. Tell the story of the two of you know. ”

Yang Yiming gave Chen Ruoya an expression of "I was about to speak, but I was interrupted by you", and continued: "I was injured in my arm at that time, and I was going to wear a bandage, so I instantly dressed myself up as the weirdo Frankenstein. Meritis has blonde hair and her appearance is Medusa. I've been secretly borrowing Koharu's phone to chat with her, but there are so many people at the party that I can't tell her apart until I go to the kitchen to refill the drink..."

"You're actually drinking?! I thought you were very disciplined! ”

"Of course I'm self-disciplined. I added wine to Yu Xiaochun, just to add some drinks to myself. But that day, there were a lot of alcoholic beverages, beer and spirits, and Meritis herself prepared fruity cocktails..."

"So it seems like you don't drink, but you did learn this knowledge from your girlfriend."

"Probably—but do you want me to finish this story?"

"If you want it, you can tell it." Chen Ruoyan made an inviting gesture.

"So we met in the kitchen, and I saw her dressed as Medusa. I have to say that it really suits her, Meritis's blonde hair, I was completely petrified like someone who was favored by the legendary Medusa, and the rest of the story seemed to come naturally. After all, we are all on the Rockets, she is the assistant of the team, I am the player, and we still have a lot of opportunities for daily contact and interaction... You know..."Yang Yiming tried to keep his tone of neutral memories, but in the end he was too embarrassed and prevaricated with a sentence of "you know".

"I know!" Chen Ruoya can be regarded as further relieving Yang Yiming.

"Uh-huh, that's it."

"My idol is really different, and I chased the foreign young lady. Kudos to you. ”

"What."

"Miss Meritis is still very good, you have to cherish your idol."

"I will."

"So you shouldn't have any contradictions. You adapt so quickly in the NBA, and there is no cultural shock, so it must have something to do with her. ”

"Hmm. In fact, not only her, but many other people have helped me a lot. For example, Yu Xiaochun, he really understands the culture of NBA basketball, gave me a lot of tips, and saved me a lot of detours... Without him, it must not have gone so well. ”

"Hmm. By the way, speaking of Yu Xiaochun-" Chen Ruoya raised the decibels.

"What's wrong with him?" Yang Yiming asked vigilantly. was constantly asked emotional questions, and he thought that Chen Ruoya was going to turn his magnifying glass to his good friend Yu Xiaochun's private life again.

"Don't be nervous! I just want to ask, why isn't he with you. Where did he go? ”
