Chapter 96: Christmas
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
The night on Christmas Eve seemed to be much more beautiful than usual, and Chu Xuan stood by the window, looking at the sky in the distance, stunned.
The whole of Los Angeles was shrouded in excitement, but that kind of laughter seemed to have nothing to do with him, which made him feel stunned.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and it was Adeline calling.
"Honey, did you sleep?"
Hearing Adeline's beautiful and melodious voice, Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile, and the sorrow in his heart was instantly swept away.
"No, what's wrong, you've only been separated for a while, and you're missing me?"
Adeline chuckled, "Miss you big-headed ghost." I'm just afraid you won't have anything to eat. β
Chu Xuan smiled: "It's almost impossible to eat, but fortunately, I have the skills to make a bowl of noodles by myself." β
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be able to cook. Let me try your craft sometime, too. β
Chu Xuan laughed: "Of course it's no problem, when you come here one day, I'll give you something to eat." β
"yes, okay." Adeline looked happy, "Yes, my dear, my parents found out about my ring, and they want to meet you." β
When Chu Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He suddenly remembered that this girl was wearing a ring, and she would definitely be found by her parents. Alas, I didn't expect to ignore this problem.
"No problem, wait until the season is over, right? I'm sure I'll have to meet them before I take you back to China. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been at ease to let such a beautiful daughter go with me. Chu Xuan said with a smile.
"Yes, in order for us to go to China together, you have to come and meet them at home." Adeline was delighted.
β¦β¦
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while. Because Chu Xuan had to prepare for the Christmas war tomorrow, Adeline told Chu Xuan to rest early before hanging up the phone.
After dozens of minutes of phone porridge, Chu Xuan could be said to be very happy, and he felt that every cell in his body was in excitement.
Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, Chu Xuan couldn't help but think about the game, and gradually, the heat faded, and his heart gradually calmed down.
When he slowly became sleepy, Chu Xuan was ready to sleep. Habitually picking up the mobile phone to check the time, it turned out to be just past the early hours of the morning, that is, Christmas Eve has passed, and a new day has arrived.
"Merry Christmas, dear."
Chu Xuan sent a message to Adeline.
After a while, a text message came back from the phone.
"Merry Christmas, honey, love you."
In just one sentence, two more words made Chu Xuan's heart feel warm.
Shaking her head, it turned out that the big girl hadn't slept yet.
"Go to sleep, honey, it's going to get ugly if you stay up late."
"Ah, okay. I rarely stay up late, and what happened today was so sudden that I'm still a little excited. β
Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile in his heart, obviously, the fact that he suddenly pursued Adeline made her happy.
"Haha, me too, but for the sake of tomorrow to have a good spirit. Let's go to sleep. β
"Okay, dear, I'm asleep, good night."
Chu Xuan looked at the information and smiled happily: "Good night, dear." β
*******
"It's time to get up, Hassan, and it's time to go to the arena."
At Chu Xuan's urging, Whiteside finally got up from the bed. Looking at his tired appearance, Chu Xuan knew that this guy had either been chatting with Monica for too long yesterday, or he hadn't done a good job.
After some washing, the two of them drove to the stadium.
At this moment, the streets of Los Angeles are more festive, and there are children running around everywhere.
Chu Xuan reminded Whiteside to drive carefully, and in this way, when he arrived at Figueroa Street, it was almost nine o'clock.
The stadium is very lively, and there are constantly reporters coming in and out. And when they saw Chu Xuan, they all wanted to interview, but they were rejected by Chu Xuan, who was in a hurry to the training ground.
But these reporters didn't care, after all, they had time to interview at noon today.
The distance between the practice ground provided by the Lakers for the Heat and the field used by the Lakers themselves is not very far, so the players on both sides can communicate with each other.
On Chu Xuan's way to the Lakers venue, he saw Battier in a suit and leather shoes leaning against the wall, chatting happily with Kobe.
After seeing Chu Xuan, Kobe Bryant immediately opened his mouth to say hello.
"Hey, Chu, you didn't come so punctually today, this is not your style in the past."
As the head coach of the Lakers, in today's Staples, only Kobe Bryant dares to laugh at him in formal occasions.
However, Chu Xuan didn't feel anything in his heart, on the contrary, he felt that this would help Kobe Bryant's relationship with him get closer and enable him to coach Kobe Bryant better.
"Haha, Kobe, it's not that I'm late, it's that you came too early. On such an important day, you should spend more time at home with Natalia and Vanessa. β
Kobe Bryant looked at Battier and grinned, "It's okay, they're all here today." And, for me, today's game is more important, and I'm more interested in beating them than I am in Christmas. β
Kobe Bryant's words made Battier shake his head and chuckle for a while, and Chu Xuan also grinned when he saw this.
"Kobe, there's no way you're going to beat us, we'll see." Battier retorted with a smile.
"Really? But, Sean, I wanted to defeat you under your defense. However, today's situation is really regrettable. Bryant smiled confidently.
Kobe Bryant said this, and Chu Xuan noticed that Battier was wearing, a suit and leather shoes, not a sportswear.
Chu Xuan's mind moved, and he couldn't help but suddenly realize that Battier had dislocated his finger in the game three days ago, and he had been in a truce since then. And now, his outfit shows that he is still recuperating and will not appear today.
"Sean, Kobe Bryant is right, if you don't play to defend him, it will really make him have a very big regret." As Chu Xuan spoke, he stepped forward and shook hands with Battier, this was the first time the two of them had met.
"There's always a chance, and even though we're both veterans, I think I still have a long way to go, so it's far from the end of our fight."
As Battier spoke, the attention of his eyes was on Chu Xuan's body, and there was a deep curiosity and surprise in his eyes.
"Chu, you are really too young, even if you are standing in front of me now, I still find it a little hard to believe that you have achieved so much." Battier exclaimed.
Obviously, he was referring to Chu Xuan's coaching record after he became the head coach of the Lakers.
Chu Xuan smiled slightly, and his face did not change: "This is not an achievement, speaking of which, I think you will achieve great achievements." β
"For example?" Battier was slightly stunned.
Chu Xuan chuckled: "Running for president, don't you always say that you want to run for president after retiring." β
