Early on the 14th, Autumn Jingli drove her second-hand Malibu to the door of Haugist's house. Hougist carefully packed his backpack, and when Candace came home from work, he saw Haugist packing his bags and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Well, it's a long story, you know the Golden State Warriors, right?"

"You know, the team of the Mavericks with the No. 1 record in the Black Eight League in 2007 is in the Bay Area." Candace replied.

"Wow! I didn't expect you to be clear! The Warriors have a Bay Area local player named Jeremy. Lin, whose Chinese name is Jeremy Lin, is Chinese, similar to Joseph, who was recently sent to play in the Development League, the Renault Bighorn Sheep, which you may not have heard of, is just north of Renault, which is a little north of Carson. He invited me to watch his game and pay for the round-trip ...... He said that he would reimburse the round-trip expenses, and I thought that since I am also Chinese, I should support him! ”

Hougist told his mother what had happened, but he had lied a little about the cost of the journey.

Candace thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't the games usually in the evening or at night?" Will you be able to come back in the evening? ”

"Well, Jeremy Lin said I could go to his apartment and spend the night with him." Hougist had no choice but to lie about the accommodation.

"Isn't he a gay, plotting against you?" Candace couldn't help but ask, worried.

Hoggist couldn't cry or laugh, and he lied to lead his mother's train of thought astray, so he had to explain: "I looked at his Twitter and found that he is a devout Christian, so he shouldn't mess around, so don't worry." ”

"Okay, be careful on the road!" Candace finally relented, "Is that Malibu out there looking for you?" We've never seen anyone in our neighborhood have this car. The girl who drove the car was pretty . ”

"Uh...... IT MAY BE THAT THE UBER DRIVER I CALLED IS COMING, MOM I'M LEAVING, YOU BE CAREFUL AT HOME AND TAKE CARE OF MY YOUNGER SIBLINGS! Hogist quickly escaped with his schoolbag on his back.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Hogist looked at the door of the house and saw that his mother did not send it out, so he let go of the heart that had been hanging in his throat and let out a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing? It's like a thief! Qiu Jingli asked puzzled.

"Don't mention it, my mother saw you and asked me if that beautiful woman was coming to me." Hougist said.

"Didn't Uncle know about our relationship? Why are you two still hiding this from your aunt? Qiu Jingli asked puzzled.

"Didn't I always find a chance, and this time I went to Renault to spend the night, I told my mother that I lived in Jeremy Lin's house, and I wanted her old man to know that I didn't study well at a young age, so I ran out to open a room with a girl for the night, and I had to break my dog's legs!" Hoggist was still apprehensive when he said this.

"What do you mean by that? Are you blaming me for tempting you to make mistakes? Qiu Jingli just started the car, not yet 10 meters out, heard Haugist's explanation and stepped on the brakes heavily, the tires let out a sharp roar, leaving two carbon black brake marks on the ground, Haugist's body was driven by inertia and wanted to run out, but he was shackled to the seat by the seat belt, and his chest was strangled with pain.

"Li'er, you're crazy!" Hogist exclaimed.

"Humph! Who told you to speak ill of me! Qiu Jingli didn't give up, "I'll send you to the train station, you can go and watch the ball by yourself, I don't dare to spend the night with you, lest my aunt say that I taught you badly." ”

"Don't! It's all my fault, I'm stupid and can't speak, don't be angry with me! Hougist rubbed his aching chest and apologized.

Qiu Jingli gritted her teeth and groaned for a long time, then silently started the car and drove towards the train station. The atmosphere in the car was awkward and abnormal, Qiu Jingli looked ahead without saying a word, and Hogist didn't dare to speak when he saw that Qiu Jingli didn't speak. In this way, the car was so quiet that it seemed that even the roar of the engine could not be heard.

Until the car was parked in the parking lot of the railway station for a long time, Qiu Jingli didn't speak, didn't get off, and didn't rush to get off the car. Hoggist sat in the car and didn't dare to move, his brain quickly organizing language, thinking about how to ask Qiu Jingli's forgiveness.

Seeing that it was about to be the departure time, Haugist was about to speak, but Qiu Jingli spoke first: "Do you think that my sister and I are losing my temper and making trouble?" ”

"I didn't ...... No. Hogist replied hesitantly.

"Don't lie to me, we have to be honest with each other. The days will always be dull, the freshness will eventually disappear, and the quarrel will always happen, you may not understand it when you are young, the quarrel is not terrible, but I think that after the quarrel, we must communicate in a timely and effective manner, so that the relationship between us can be kept fresh for a long time. Qiu Jingli looked straight ahead and said calmly.

"No, maybe you think I'm young, and I'm just in love with a momentary novelty, and when the freshness is over, I'll run into the arms of the next girl, but I'm not, I know from the moment I see you that you are my destined person, and I'm very happy no matter what I do with you, I know that you are a good girl who knows how to be well-read and clean, but I said something like that, I feel even more uncomfortable when you lose your temper, and I swear that I will never make you sad again!" Hogist held Qiu Jingli's hand and said sincerely.

"It's because I'm too sensitive and impulsive, I know it's a joke, but I can't help but get angry." Hearing Hoggist's true feelings, Qiu Jingli also began to self-examine.

"Then you promise me not to be angry, let's get in quickly, the train will leave in 10 minutes!" After Haugist finished speaking, he quickly got out of the car and took his luggage from the trunk.

The two hurried slowly, and finally stepped on the train car a second before departure, found a seat where no one was, put down their luggage and sat down, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the words just now disappeared.

After the two of them adjusted their breathing, Haojist asked Qiu Jingli, "Li'er, can you tell me about the paper you talked about yesterday?" I can't wait! ”

"Oh, let's talk about it at night, how interesting it is to listen to me tell stories in the dim light of the bed in the hotel at night!" Qiu Jingli said.

"Don't you think that at night, in the hotel, lying in bed, in the dim light, you tell me a story, especially like a scene?"

"Like what?"

"I told you not to be angry!"

"You say it first, and I'll decide whether to be angry with you or not based on what you say."

"Then I'll say it!"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"

"Tell mom a bedtime story to her son!"

"Okay, stinky boy actually dares to say that I am to my mother, and I look as different from you as mother and son?" Qiu Jingli picked up Horgist's ears again.

"Li'er spares my life, I'm just joking!" Haugist begged for mercy again and again.

In the midst of laughter and flirting along the way, the train pulled into Renault Central Station, where Jeremy Lin's agent, Roger Lin. Mr. Montgomery was already waiting at the exit, and Roger was a middle-aged black man who had only one player, Jeremy Lin, so he sometimes helped with Jeremy Lin's personal affairs.

The two took their luggage and got on Roger's 04 Chevrolet Silverado, Roger started the car and asked Haugist: "Jeremy's race is at 19:30 in the evening, and there are still more than 5 hours before the entrance, do you have any arrangements?" ”

Hogist politely replied, "Please take us to the Circus Circus Reno Hotel first, we will take a walk around the neighborhood after we settle down, and I will contact you before the game." ”

Roger nodded, stepped on the first gear to start, and drove towards the hotel, "The team starts to warm up at 18 o'clock, Jeremy would like to invite you to visit the locker room before the warm-up, if you want to visit the neighborhood, please contact me before 17:30, I will come and pick you up." ”

"Okay, thank you very much!" Haugis nodded.

On the way, Hougist struck up a conversation with Roger, "Well, Mr. Montgomery, you're really ...... for an agent It's really a maverick and different! ”

"Just call me Roger, I don't know what you say, little brother?" Roger seems to be interested in the topic.

"The broker industry I know, most of them are freshly dressed and angry, and the car they drive should be a business-like car even if it is not a luxury car, and it is the first time I have seen an agent like you who drives a pickup truck pragmatically." Hoggist explained.

"Hehe" Roger smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart, you kid really know how to chat! Which pot is not opened, and as soon as I came up, I was asked about my sore feet. Roger shook his head helplessly and said: "I drive a pickup truck for two reasons, the first reason is that I am poor, and there is only one development league player under my hand, Jeremy; The second reason, also because of poverty, brokering is only one of my jobs, I also run a farm that supplies fresh fruit to the local market in Renault, and this pickup truck can also be used to haul goods. ”

"I see, but you don't have to be too frustrated, I'm sure Jeremy Lin will make a name for himself in the league in the near future, and you will have the opportunity to make money."

"Oh? You kind of believe in Jeremy, I don't think he would believe in himself that way. It seems that it was a wise decision for him to invite you to come and play. ”

"It's not that I'm blindly supporting him because I'm also Chinese, I've watched his game footage and physical measurements, and his first step is comparable to last year's new champion John. Wall is even faster, and with his breakthrough ability, Jeremy Lin will have no problem playing a starting point guard in the NBA in the future! Hoggist said firmly.

"If Jeremy knew you were a high school student and he was judging him like a sports columnist, I don't know what his expression would be." Roger suddenly felt a little sad.

"You don't have to show that kind of expression, after all, Jeremy Lin and I are also peers, and I can see his strengths and weaknesses very clearly, and I am still qualified to comment." Hogist said with good words.

Short after a while, Roger dropped off the two of them at the hotel, and after saying goodbye to them, Roger drove his old Silverado into view.

The Hotel Reno Circus is the most famous theme hotel in Reno, and although it is only 3 stars, it is the most cost-effective hotel in Reno. The two were led by the waiter to the Sky Tower King Room, located in the hotel's high tower, which is far beyond the three-star service standard in terms of its large room size and luxurious interior design.

The two threw down their luggage and lay lazily on the big bed. "Where are we going to play these few hours?" Haugist asked. ”

"Two blocks away is the Nevada Museum of Art, let's go for a walk, sister, I will take you to cultivate your sentiments and cultivate your artistic cells!" Qiu Jingli said.

It was said that he took Hoggist to cultivate sentiment and cultivate artistic cells, but Hoggist entered the museum and found that he was not interested at all, and the lengthy introduction words in front of the exhibits on display were like hypnotic spells, and Hoggist was dizzy and sleepy when he saw it. In the end, Hoggist couldn't hold on anymore, and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother for permission, and ran to the bench in the hall on the first floor and fell asleep.

Hoggist felt like he had been asleep for a century, and finally waited until Autumn Jingli happily finished the tour and came down from the second floor chatting happily with a young white male.

"Helian, get up!" Qiu Jingli patted Haugist's cheek.

"Are you done visiting?" Hoggist stretched, stood up sleepily, and hugged Qiu Jingli to ask for a kiss.

"Watch out for influence in public!" Qiu Jingli gently pinched Haugist's waist, and Hoggist came to his senses completely.

Hougist shook his head, refocusing his scattered gaze, and then saw that there was a handsome white guy about 6 feet 9 inches standing next to Qiu Jingli, this white man saw Haugist holding Qiu Jingli affectionately, and the two had been communicating in Chinese, and there seemed to be some displeasure in his eyes.

Hougist deliberately asked Qiu Jingli in English: "Who is this?" ”

"He was met on my visit, and he was very knowledgeable about the history of American Indians, and his name was ...... Belch...... His name was ......" Qiu Jingli thought for a long time, but she didn't remember the person's name.

The white man was very embarrassed, when he saw Qiu Jingli this oriental classical beauty when he visited just now, he took the initiative to come forward to talk, and intentionally or unintentionally showed that he was very interested in the Indian cultural relics on display, and he thought that he had a good conversation with Qiu Jingli, and he had definitely left a deep impression on this beauty, but he didn't expect that Qiu Jingli had forgotten his name at this time.

But the white man thought about it, maybe this oriental beauty had developed a good impression of herself, and she was afraid of being seen through by her boyfriend, so she deliberately pretended to be unfamiliar with her. So the white man took the initiative to take over the conversation and introduce himself, "Hello, my name is Chandler. Parsons, from UF, is a senior this year. He is a member of the Alligator team. ”
