Chapter 22: The Weight of Mail
"Yang Long, you are really ......" Walking out of the indoor basketball hall, Chen Hao's face was strange. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What is it?"
"You're really fierce! That's Batyr! "As a student of Duke University, Chen Hao has watched Battier lead the team to defeat one strong opponent after another and win the championship, and he knows Battier's ability." You should have looked at Knight's face after your tomahawk slash and wanted to crush your teeth. Don't say it, I feel very happy to see him angry. Chen Hao patted Yang Long's shoulder as he spoke, and he could see that he was sincerely happy.
"Ha," Yang Long pinched the tip of his nose with a hint of pride, who doesn't like to hear words complimenting himself? "Battier is a little underestimated today, if he had fought me seriously from the beginning, the outcome might have been decided. That dunk is nothing, and many NBA players can easily do it. "Thinking back to the dunk just now, are you a little ostentatious? Yang Long shook his head, he didn't think that much when he dunked, he just wanted to prove Knight's bias wrong.
"The key is that you are Chinese! At first, I thought ......" When it comes to the name of his motherland, Yang Long can clearly see the piety on Chen Hao's face. Being in a foreign country, the feelings for the motherland will always be amplified and can always be easily stimulated.
"Do you think I'm not self-sufficient and humiliated?" Yang Long saw Chen Hao scratching his head embarrassedly, after seeing his performance just now, Chen Hao should have realized that he underestimated himself at first. Yang Long patted Chen Hao's shoulder, signaling to him that this was nothing, to put it mildly, if they changed positions, Yang Long would have the same idea as Chen Hao. "I want to thank you for today's events."
"Thanks for what?" Chen Hao scratched his head again, and his eyes were full of doubts at this time.
"Thank you for being in front of me."
"Eh, I thought something was going on. Thank you, if Battier hadn't stopped Knight, we might have suffered, and I wouldn't have helped much. Chen Hao didn't feel that his choice to stand in front of Yang Long had any effect, and he didn't feel worthy of Yang Long's thanks.
"Really, thank you, I'm very touched by you doing this."
"Hey, I don't even mean that when you say that. I don't think we're going to play ball, I'll take you to buy something and walk around the school. By the way, you shouldn't have bought a SIM card yet, right? ”
In the evening, Chen Hao organized a Chinese dinner at Duke University, which was regarded as a welcome for newcomers to Duke. Yang Long liked the atmosphere, just as he had just entered Zhengzhou University in his previous life. At that time, Yang Long was just dreaming of becoming a CUBA basketball fan, and now he is aiming for the NBA. After the dinner, Yang Long returned to his dormitory apartment, pushed the door open, and the house was empty, with no parents waiting, only an empty bed and a dark space. Thousands of miles to Duke, just to accompany his basketball dream from birth.
When he came to the bathroom, Yang Long took off his T-shirt and looked at his body in the mirror. From his current parents, he has inherited a lot of excellent genes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall nose, a slightly angular face, and a 5-6 cm Liuhai, I have to say that he is more handsome than the previous life. At 194 centimeters, he is not very tall, but he is enough to chase his basketball dream. Since childhood, I have been exercising systematically, and there are obvious biceps brachii on my arms, and there are a few abrupt green tendons on the top. The chest is firm, but not to the extent that the muscular rods form the chest groove. Looking at his stomach, there are four obvious abdominal muscles, and two abdominal muscles are only slightly raised, and the outline of the six-pack abdominal muscles has been formed, but Yang Long knows that many NBA players such as Wade even have 8-10 abdominal muscles, and he still has a lot of training to do, but fortunately he is still young, only 18 years old this year.
Sitting on his small bed, Yang Long took out the laptop that his parents bought for me before going abroad. The computer is very heavy, the lines are very stiff, and in ten years, no one will want to buy something that no one will want to buy even 2,000 yuan, but in 2001 it cost 2,000 yuan. He opened the registered mailbox in China, which he and his parents agreed to contact by email after arriving in the United States, knowing that there was no such thing as QQ in 2001.
Yang Long read the email, felt the warmth of his parents, and it was only one day, and he found that he had begun to miss them.
Mom and Dad:
The child has successfully enrolled in school. I met a lot of Chinese alumni here, and they are all very nice. I don't have to worry too much here, but watch your own bodies. We have a landline phone in our dormitory, so we can contact you by phone in the future, and I'll call you back in a few days.

After replying to his parents, Yang Long continued to flip through the mailbox. He spent the whole summer training in basketball, and one summer passed, and there were still some unread emails in his mailbox. Shuang'er, this sender has appeared many times, and Yang Long has been reading it since the first letter.
Dragon:
The college entrance examination is over, I played well in the college entrance examination this time, if nothing else, I should be able to be admitted to Sichuan University. Don't know how your school application went?

Dragon:
Have you been busy lately? Did you see an email I sent before? I signed up for a piano training class these days, I have loved the piano since I was a child, and I will play it for you after I learn to play it in the future.

Dragon:

Uncle Yang told me that you are going to have closed basketball training, and you have to prepare for the future trip to the United States, come on, I believe you will succeed, usually you work so hard, you will definitely become a good basketball player!

Dragon:
To tell you bad news, Zhang Bin from our class confessed to me. He said that he had liked me since his freshman year of high school, and bought me 11 roses, saying that it represented single-mindedness and life, but I didn't ask for it. If only he hadn't given me the roses.

Dragon:
Recently, the classmates in the class said that they were going to Qinghai for graduation trip, and asked me if I would go, but they were all in pairs, so I didn't want to make light bulbs! When I go to the United States in the future, will you take me on a trip? If you don't answer, you agree.

Dragon:

Dragon:
When school started, I came to Sichuan University, majoring in English, after all, we graduated from foreign Chinese high school. The campus of Sichuan University is very beautiful, but unfortunately you can't see it with your own eyes, if you have time, can you come to Sichuan University to see me? I invite you out for hot pot!

Dragon:
I called your home, and my aunt told me that you were already in the United States and were going to Duke University. But you didn't tell me personally, why didn't you reply to my email? Do you think I've sent you so many emails that you think I'm verbose and annoying?
8 September 2001
Yang Long's mood followed Shuang'er's emails with joy or melancholy, and unconsciously the corners of his eyes were a little moist, because of the weight of these dozens of emails, but also because of the weight of the emotions that Wu Shuang poured into her.
Yang Long didn't know how to deal with the weight. For the sake of basketball, he had to come to the United States. He doesn't have the talent to wreak havoc on the court, and he hasn't even qualified for the NCAA League yet, so his basketball path is bound to be a long-term one. Yang Long can't easily accept this feeling, once accepted, it will be a foreign love thousands of miles away. He couldn't bear to see Wu Shuang experience the pain of such separation at such a splendid age. But how could Yang Long be indifferent?
Finally, Yang Long still replied to Wu Shuang's email, telling her that he was very good here, and telling her to work hard at Sichuan University.
Yang Long only hoped that Wu Shuang was just an adolescent girl's inner ignorance for a while, and maybe time could dilute everything.
