Li Dong said that he was a cross-river raptor, Joe Thomas didn't understand the meaning of this, but he could also feel the vigor and vitality of this 19-year-old boy, and people with dreams would always be easy to infect others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kansas City International Airport in Kansas, where flights from the far east are approaching in the midday sun.
At the Kansas City International Airport at noon, you can still see passengers coming and going, there are many flights arriving in Kansas at this point in time, and the airport security personnel are busy checking every passenger.
In the distance came two tall travelers, an eye-catching combination, one young and handsome Asian, the other a gray-haired white-bearded old man, both carrying heavy travel bags, and the young man dragging a huge suitcase in his hand.
It was Li Dong and Joe Thomas.
Not long after the two of them passed the security check, a man in black came over, it was close to May, wearing a pair of cool sunglasses, the man in black greeted Joe Thomas with open hands, and gave a warm welcome from his mouth, "Oh, my old man, you're finally back, I heard that you're coming back, I've been waiting for a long time!" ”
After getting closer, Li Dong realized that this cool man in black turned out to be an elderly old man, and after the old man took off his sunglasses, he had a smile on his face, looking full of affinity. He looked the old man in black up and down, and found that his height was not low, at most about a few centimeters shorter than him.
Joe Thomas also opened his hands, and the two came together with a strong hug: "Oh, my dear Jack, I am so glad to see you!" ”
But in the corner where Li Dong couldn't see it, the two bit their ears and talked in a low voice.
Jack: "Is this the genius boy you strongly recommend to Alina?" Looks skinny! There's nothing out of the ordinary, of course, he's pretty handsome. I really didn't expect that one day you would find Alina for basketball, have you forgotten the excessive things she did back then? ”
Joe Thomas scolded and said, "You know a fart, Li has a huge potential in him, if you see him play, you will definitely be fascinated by him, he is a magical little guy!" ”
The two parted again, an invisible smile on their faces. Na Jack left Joe Thomas, and then reached out to Li Dong to make a hug gesture, "Dear little guy, I'm Jack, it's nice to meet you!" ”
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jack!" Li Dong put down the package on his body in a panic, looking a little in a hurry, and then greeted Jack respectfully, of course, he was also very unaccustomed to hugging an old man like this, you know, when he was in China, he rarely even encountered a handshake.
"Let's go, my car is parked in the underground parking lot!" After a few more pleasantries with Joe Thomas, Jack tilted his neck and signaled that they could leave the airport together.
Li Dong, who had been listening impatiently for a long time, immediately picked up his backpack again when he heard this, and then the three of them walked side by side towards the elevator door.
"You better take a break today, Alina has entrusted this matter to the current head coach of the school, of course, according to Bill's temperament, whether he can pass it is another matter. Fortunately, this year's team's main star small forward Andrew Wiggins will participate in the draft, and the small forward position is also a lack of reserves, and the possibility of passing is still very high! Blackjack spoke very quickly, and Li Dong listened to it with little understanding, and his eyes blinked at Joe Thomas, his expression was slightly cute.
The trio got into the large-displacement Land Rover SUV, and then with a thud, they made their way out of the airport and headed to the bustling downtown Kansas.
Joe Thomas introduced Kansas to Li Dong with some pride: "Lee, Kansas is an important agricultural and animal husbandry state in the United States, and the headquarters of the famous telecommunications company SprintNextel is here. There are 4,300 manufacturing and processing plants across the state, capable of producing everything from airplanes to zinc castings. ”
Jack, the black man driving in front, laughed and immediately responded: "It's a pity that we are going to a small country near this huge city, no matter how good Kansas is, after all, it is only the world of the rich." ”
"Go, go, say depressing words!" Joe Thomas interrupted Jack's words impatiently, and then said to Li Dong with some shyness: "Lee, we are going to the University of Kansas this time, but you know, the University of Kansas is not in Kansas City, it is still a little bit away from Kansas City, of course, I believe that you are not the kind of person who pursues material things, and getting a better education and training is what you really desire, isn't it?" ”
Li Dong couldn't understand anything, but he kept nodding. Seeing that Li Dong was so sensible, Black Jack, who was driving in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, at least not a prickly head who was difficult to discipline.
However, this legendary little distance is nearly five hours, if it wasn't for the lunch on the plane before, I'm afraid Li Dong would have his chest against his back at this moment. Even so, after several hours of sitting in the car, he was sick and tired.
"Wow, it's here! Old man, go out for a drink or two? Blackjack sent Li Dong and Joe Thomas to a Lawrence hotel and excitedly proposed.
"Okay!" Joe Thomas was also in high spirits, and then the two of them turned their heads to look at Li Dong together.
Li Dong understood it at this moment, and felt that while waving his hand, he shook his head, "No, no, no, I'm not going, I'm not going." ”
Black Jack was very fond of Li Dong, reached out and hooked the neck of this young man who was thirty years younger than him, and said enthusiastically: "Let's go, it's okay, drink some wine to warm up your body, we like to drink here!" ”
Li Dong looked at Joe Thomas with a distress look.
Joe Thomas thought for a while, and then spoke to help Li Dong speak: "Forget Jack, Don he still has Coach Bill's assessment tomorrow, he is already very tired today, let him rest early!" ”
Hearing Joe Thomas say this, Black Jack reluctantly let go of Li Dong, but still didn't forget to ask him to drink next time, "Okay, since this is the case, forget it this time, but you must be with us next time, it's rare to come to Lawrence once, why don't you have to entertain him well." ”
Li Dong couldn't laugh and nodded. And Joe Thomas was upset to hear it, what is the rare time to come to Lawrence, and then my Lee is a talented player who is going to study at the University of Kansas!
The two ordered a dinner for Li Dong, and then walked out shoulder to shoulder against the black night that had fallen.
Li Dong shook his head, turned around and returned to the upstairs room.
Half an hour later, Li Dong heard someone knocking on the door outside. "I'm here to deliver dinner!" Li Dong, who was already hungry, jumped up from the big bed, and then opened the door.
When he opened it, he was stunned.
The woman outside the door was also a little stunned, but her good professional ethics still allowed her to promote the business as soon as possible, "Sir, do you want to spend a wonderful night with me?" The woman looked less than thirty years old, her skin was a little dark, and she didn't care about Li Dong's immature face, and her huge breasts seemed to be about to come out.
Li Dong's face turned red and he couldn't speak, then he turned around and slammed the door shut.
"Three hundred dollars, sir, that's a great deal, sir!" The woman's estimate was rare to see Li Dong so tall and handsome, and she slapped the door a few times relentlessly.
After a long while, I didn't see Li Dong open the door, so I reluctantly walked away.
Li Dong leaned against the door, his legs had no strength, and his little heart was still pounding. In all fairness, the woman's heavy makeup just now, the sultry perfume smell and the graceful posture are indeed a bit beautiful, where did Li Dong receive this kind of stimulation, his head almost exploded. At this moment, there are words in his mouth: "Your sister's evil and beautiful emperor, color is empty, emptiness is color, heart is like ice, the sky is not shocked....."
After a while, someone knocked on the door, and this time Li Dongxue was obedient and waited for a while. When the doorkeeper came from the sound of inquiry, Li Dong let out a sigh of relief, and then opened the door.
"Thank you!" Li Dong politely took over the dinner, a rather generous turkey set. Then he gave a dollar tip, as Joe Thomas had told.
Li Dong took the plate and walked to the table by the window to enjoy it.
While he was eating a delicious dinner, he couldn't feel the delicacy at all, and after turning it into his mouth, it turned into bitterness. Li Dong looked up at the sky in the distance, dotted with stars, like the silhouette and smiling face of a loved one......
