Chapter 65: Return to Philadelphia

By the time Bill and the others were ready to rest, it was already noon. It's time for lunch.

Alyssa also got up. Sitting on the couch in pajamas and watching TV, Luke almost had a nosebleed.

"Are you back? Let's eat. "This is Susan.

After the meal, Luke said, "I'll probably have to go back to Philadelphia in the afternoon." ”

"Why?" Alyssa said.

"I'm going to train tomorrow, go back and clean up today." Luke said. "I haven't been back for a long time, and if I don't clean up, I'll be dusting."

"Well, then you wait for me......" Alyssa stood up and said, "I'm going too." ”

"Why are you going?" Luke wondered.

"I'm your girlfriend, why can't I go in?" Alyssa said, "Is there any secret to be hidden? Or is it a treasure trove of gold houses? Or is there someone else? ”

"Of course not. How could anyone be in my small, cramped apartment. Luke said.

"Then it's nothing." Alyssa turned and walked upstairs and said, "I'll go get ready." You wait for me. ”

It's three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Hey, aren't you alright?" Luke shouted upstairs. "It's three o'clock, aren't you ready to go? If you don't leave, you're going to have dinner! ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Alyssa came out dragging a suitcase.

"What are you doing here? Want to move? Luke said, pointing to the suitcase.

"Of course, I'm going to move over and watch you, lest you go to other women." Alyssa said.

"Hey, hey, don't you have to go to work? You're an actor, don't you want to act? Luke questioned.

"There's nothing left to play now. "Buffy the Ghost Hunter" is suspended, and "Pretty Girl Cheerleaders" has only been released for a short time, so there is nothing to do. Anyway, if I want to take a break now, I'll go to your place and live for a while, and it will be considered a trip. Alyssa said.

"But......" Luke wanted to say.

"Don't say any more, what are you doing with a big man? I didn't say anything to a girl. It's cheaper for you to live together. Let's go! Alyssa dragged the box and Luke outside.

"Goodbye!" Susan and Bill both greeted at the door. "Come back often!"

"Hopefully they will have a good outcome." That's what Bill whispered.

Five p.m., Philadelphia International Airport. A girl with sunglasses walked out dragging a box and a man.

"It's up to you. What about your car? Alyssa pulled Luke out from behind.

"How could I possibly have a car? I'm a poor bastard now. Luke said.

"What? Don't have a car? Aren't you famous right now? How can there be no money. Alyssa said.

"But I just don't have any money. Now there is only an annual salary of $1 million, and I have to pay a part of it (it is said that every year the NBA players will hand over a part of the money to the league, as if to help those players who do not have stable jobs, I don't know if it is true), and also pay rent. How can there be money? Luke said.

"Didn't you sign any other contracts? Like jerseys, sneakers, etc. Alyssa gave an example.

"How is it possible, I'm just a rookie who didn't have a draft, I got a base salary, I don't have an agent, how can I have these contracts!" Luke said.

"Not really!" Alyssa didn't believe it.

"Not really!" Luke replied.

"Are you sure you must and sure?" "I don't deny the veto as well as the denial."

"Alright then, let's go back to your house first, and then talk about anything else. Taxicab! Alyssa said.

Got into a taxi and headed back to Luke's apartment, where he finally sat down.

Alyssa went straight to fiddling with her stuff. Luke wiped a cold sweat, fortunately he rented a two-bedroom apartment, otherwise he would have to live in the living room now (you can't let a girl live in the living room).

"Let's take a shower first, and then we'll eat." Alyssa commanded.

"You know how to cook?" Luke said.

"What? Look down on me? Alyssa said.

"Then you can do it, I'll go take a shower." Luke said.

"You ......" Alyssa didn't know what to say.

"You don't know how to do it, so I'll do it." Luke decided.

"Hmph." Alyssa went to the bathroom alone with her yukata.

Luke usually eats in the team's cafeteria, and there is not much in the fridge except for some steaks, potatoes and eggs. Looking at the fridge, Luke decided to make some steak to eat.

Defrost the steak in the microwave. Then sprinkle the steak evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Then prepare a pan, heat the pan, add some oil, put the steak flat in the pan, change sides of the steak in the pan for an average of 2 minutes, and after 10 minutes it will reach 6-7 ripeness, and then after 4 to 5 minutes, the steak will be fully cooked.

Then cut the broccoli into small pieces and blanch them in hot water to garnish.

Wash the potatoes and smear them with olive oil and salt. Put it directly into the microwave steamer, steam it for 15 minutes on high heat, wash the lemon, heart beauty, and crss heart beauty and cut into thin strips; Slice the lemon and extract the juice; Slice the mushrooms. Add a little oil to the pan, add a little salt, and fry the mushrooms until they are soft and soft. Add the onion cut into thin rings and sauté until soft and until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Spare. Cheese and lemon juice, salt and pepper stir to combine. Flour the potatoes and cut them in the middle, but do not cut them. Topped with cheese, sprinkled with shredded carrots and cress, and served with sautéed mushrooms.

Finally, boil two poached eggs and serve with cola. This dinner is complete. (Lately, I feel less like I'm writing a competitive novel, but more about cooking.)

"Come out, eat." Luke shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming." Alyssa walked over with a towel wiping her hair.

"So much." Alyssa was also surprised.

"Of course." Luke did a lot of work to get used to it in the U.S. (Beef is said to be cheaper than pork in the U.S., why?). Because cattle are bred in captivity, while pigs are wild. That is, wild boars. That's why it's more expensive). In order to be able to eat good beef, Luke, who has always loved to eat, put a lot of effort into learning, in addition to this steak, there are also grilled steak, curry steak, Sichuan-style steak and so on, and it took a lot of effort. Now it's finally another achievement.

"Is it not necessarily delicious?" Alyssa is tsundere.

"Then please taste it." Luke made a standard "please" pose.

"Then you're welcome." Alyssa was very cooperative with Luke and sat down to taste it elegantly.

Cut it and ate a small piece. "Wow, that's really good!" Then he went on a binge.

"Eat slowly, pay attention to your image." Luke said as he shook his head at Alyssa's movements.

Eventually, Alyssa stopped, but she swept everything on the table. Even Luke's own steak took half of her.

"It's so satisfying. Looks like I'm going to gain weight again......" Alyssa muttered to herself.

"Then you should hurry home and live. Don't squat around with me. Luke, who was washing the dishes, said.

"Want to drive me away? It's not that easy. Say, how many girls have you tricked into sleeping with you with such a dish? Alyssa asked.

"Of course not." Luke retorted, "I do this for myself." You're the first person to eat my food besides me. ”

"Really?" Alyssa's tone was a little loose, "Okay, I'll trust you one more time. ”

"Alright, let's go to bed early." Luke said, "I've got up early tomorrow for something." ”

"What do you care about me?" But I walked to the room anyway. "Don't attack at night, or you're a beast!"

After saying that, he closed the door.

Well, leave Luke alone to silently wash the dishes, take a bath, and sleep.
