Chapter 038: The slump before the start of the game
Ivanka hasn't heard from me since that phone call, although Li Chen knows the general situation, but she can't figure out the attitude of the royal sister, and the more uncertain she is, the more nervous she becomes, especially the girl in Italy is coming back in a few days, at such a sensitive time, he is very worried that things will develop in a direction that he is most unwilling to.
"Are you sure you don't want to make a call?" For such a bloody matter, it is impossible for Li Chen to complain to those girls, otherwise God knows how they will react, and the only place he can complain about is his sworn friend Joey.
The eldest young master said that he had no experience in this kind of thing, "Although Ivanka didn't call you again, it doesn't mean that you can't take the initiative to call, you must know that you are a man, pick up your courage!" β
Li Chen took a big sip of wine, "Then what do you say I should say when I call?" Ask her how her children are doing. God, you don't know, it's just a one-night stand! β
Looking at Joey's still somewhat childish face, Li Chen sighed helplessly, "Look in the mirror, you are only 22 years old, and I have only passed my 20th birthday, can you imagine how a child feels when you call you daddy?" The thought of this makes me feel horrible! β
When the eldest young master heard this, he really closed his eyes and imagined this scene, "Well, it's so scary that I don't think it's just a little strange, why do I have an awkward feeling?" β
"Can you accept that?"
Joey pondered for a moment, "If it were Scarlett, I think I'd be happy to be the father of her child, but if it were the one I slept with last night." Then I'll give her a sum of money to let her stay where she can stay! β
The eldest young master felt that something was wrong as he spoke, "But it's not possible, have you ever heard of a one-night stand that doesn't take protective measures?" Please, that situation can already be considered true love. God, you're not really going to like Ivanka, are you? β
"There is no point in saying this anymore!" Li Chen kicked a can, the force was strong enough to reflect the depression in his heart at this time, "I just want to know what I should do now?" β
"It's not a big deal to have an extra illegitimate child, for a woman like Ivanka. I guess he won't marry a hairy boy like you, besides, isn't this a one-night stand? The only value of that child is that you will have the right to inherit a part of your inheritance after you hang up. β
As a bystander, Joey sees things from a very realistic perspective, "Of course, he will be one of the heirs of the Trump family in the future." I don't think I like that bit of you! The best outcome is that you will send one more Christmas card and one birthday present every year! β
The extreme of the eldest young master's view of the problem made Li Chen a little unbearable. He kicked his friend, "Eh, I'm such a bastard in your heart, please, if she really gave birth to the child, then I will definitely fulfill the most basic duties of a father, of course, don't think about it if you have to get married!" β
"Wow. Amazing, give you a thumbs up! "Li Chen's high level of consciousness shocked the eldest young master." If you can think so, what are you bothering about? After 7 months of waiting, I successfully changed to a super dad, and some people will call me uncle in the future! β
"The problem is that the kids' side is easy to do, how can I explain it to the other girls! All of a sudden I had a baby with other women, God, Julie, she said she just likes to be around me, but Lindsey and Taylor, the bad girls are going to break me, and as for the good girls, I suspect she's going to write ten albums in a row to scold me to pieces! β
"It can't be that scary, right?" The eldest young master patted his chest and expressed his fear, "Then do I want to stay away from you for a while, otherwise I'm afraid I will be destroyed by Lindsay!" β
"Do you want to be so unrighteous?" Li Chen squinted at his dead friend, and those who were familiar with him knew that this look was a precursor to his outburst.
"Why!" The eldest young master was very aggrieved, "The matter was caused by yourself, and I didn't instigate you to do so many amorous things, why did you take me with you when the East Window incident happened!" I've always been honest and honest about my chicks, and this kind of thing will never happen to me in my life! β
Joey laughed ambiguously as he spoke, "Cruze, at least this proves that you are indeed favored by God, and in just one night, you let a super rich woman have an inseparable relationship with you, and this kind of good fortune has always been something I can't ask for!" β
Bah! Li Chen spat a mouthful, "I just want a way now, you also know that Amy will be back at the end of the month, Lindsay and Taylor seem to be able to finish things recently, and the rest of them may come over when, after all, she is on vacation every day, and they will all be mixed together when the time comes, and the new season is about to start, and the game company will gradually start in two months, and there are a lot of advertising contracts......"
The more Li Chen thought about it, the more annoyed he became, "God, come and kill me with a thunderbolt, I'm about to collapse!" β
God seemed to hear his wish, and a lightning bolt slipped through the distant sky, and someone's little heart immediately jumped in fright, "Eh, I just kidd, God, don't take it seriously!" β
The eldest young master's smiling face on the side was about to cramp, he had always envied Li Chen's good luck before, but now for the first time, he found that his life was so beautiful, although doing things would not be as smooth as the help of a dead friend, but at least it was delicious, and there was stability and harmony under his eyes.
Joey's gloating appearance completely angered Li Chen, and he slapped his dead friend's fat head hard, "Bastard, quickly find a way for me, otherwise, I will burn you with jade." There is a saying in China that 'the authorities are obsessed with bystanders', which means that those who have nothing to do with things will see more clearly, and those who have nothing to do with it will see it more clearly, and those who have nothing to do with it are you! β
Joey knew what Li Chen was referring to, you must know that because his brain was a little dull, he had many handles in his hands since he was a child, and if it was all exposed, his old face should be lost.
"Okay, okay, I want to think about it! Child. Girlfriends, one-night stands, big-name stars. Super strong woman......" Joey counted with his fingers, "It's complicated, how happy we were to open that little bar together, you don't have to think about anything, everything has changed since you were hit by Amy!" β
"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Chen slapped him again, "You don't want to think about it." If I hadn't switched to playing, would you have so many opportunities to meet female stars, and I've been addicted to the recent banquet. Don't think I didn't know if I didn't go, Lindsay complained to me more than once about your ugliness at the party! β
"There it is!" The eldest young master slapped his thigh, as if he was worried about Li Chen's revelation, and Joey had to squeeze a solution out of his head. Li Chen suddenly came to a mood. He sat up upright and waited.
"You said you were drugged by Ivanka that night. And then after being told by her about what and that, what happened now! β
Li Chen almost kicked it over, "Do you dare to be a little bolder, such a constructive method has been thought of by you, do I want to feel ten thousand surprises for your magical head?" β
"Isn't it okay to take the drug? That means you're drunk and don't know anything, and you've done so many things in a daze. "But I think it's better to be drugged, because if you're drunk, you'll have to explain why you're drunk?" You can't just get drunk at the bar with a cerebral convulsion! β
"Reason!" Li Chen lowered his head and pondered. Apparently, he has endorsed Joey's stated excuse for being drunk.
"You don't think that's going to work. The newspaper didn't say that Ivanka broke off the marriage because of personality incompatibility, maybe she had just quarreled with her fiancΓ© on the night I met her, so I wanted to find someone to talk to, and I happened to be there again, out of gratitude for her previous help, so I enthusiastically became a listener, Ivanka wanted to drink, I had no choice but to accompany her, and then before I knew it, I got drunk, and then it was like that! β
In the end, as if shocked by his thoughts, Li Chen slapped his thigh, "I'm so witty!" β
"Yes, you can, but didn't you say it, Amy and Ivanka know each other very well, and if you don't fucking cooperate, it's hard for you to fool those girls!"
"Ivanka must be fine!" Regarding getting the child's fucking cooperation, Li Chen said that there was no pressure, "Unless she really doesn't want the child to be born without a father, otherwise she will definitely agree, and she called me before, which proves that she is still very optimistic about me!" β
The next sentence exposes someone's moral lower limit, "Besides, if she really doesn't want to cooperate, then I can only endure the pain of love, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to be a father, and in the end, I and her are just a one-night stand, and what happened after that was just an accident!" β
"Alright! You're amazing! The eldest young master gestured a middle finger, "Seeing you so annoyed, I thought you had changed, it turns out that you are still a complete bastard, and there is nothing more bastard in the world than having a one-night stand without wearing a condom!" β
In the next few days, Li Chen has been waiting for the royal sister's call, of course he can't make a phone call in person to say this kind of thing, he must first determine the other party's attitude, and then tell his plan when the royal sister thoroughly understands the seriousness of the matter, and then move it with emotion and reason, I believe that the royal sister will also give him a chance for the sake of the baby in the belly.
But for some reason, the royal sister seemed to be calm, and since that phone call, she has not had any follow-ups, which makes someone with a crooked stomach wait very anxiously.
At the same time, because of the burden in his heart, Li Chen was burdened with a heavy mental burden in the recent game.
Including D'Antoni and many fans have found that the big apple in these two games does not seem to have the same feeling as before, not only the shooting accuracy has decreased a lot, but the passing at will in the past also seems to be a lot more restrained, and because of the decline in the state of the core, the situation of the Knicks team has also been affected, and the three preseason games after the China game, the Knicks ended in defeat.
The regrettable result inevitably casts a shadow over the new season in New York, of course, Li Chen doesn't care much about these, he believes that as long as the off-field things are dealt with, the good form will soon return.
Hoffman, a columnist for The New York Times, expressed concern about the current state of the Knicks: The Big Apple seems to have something emotionally wrong, and it can be seen that he is much more impatient than before when it comes to dealing with the details, and in short, his mind does not seem to be on the game.
Of course, perhaps because of his first appearance as the core of a team, the rookie with only one year of NBA experience was nervous. We should be tolerant of that, and for a young player, he does need some time to ease his nerves.
One thing we need to recognize is that he was the rookie of the year last season, he was also the best three-point king of all time, and he was the first rookie to win the Finals MVP after the Magic, but at the same time, he is still a little guy who has only turned 20, and we can't just expect him to be determined and decisive right away, which is unrealistic.
Trust this little guy, give him a little time, and he'll give you back a brilliant Big Apple!
Hoffman's article made Li Chen's situation a lot better, although the Knicks lost all three games, but the bitter New Yorkers rarely did not denounce Li Chen too strongly, perhaps they really believed Hoffman's statement of giving Li Chen time, obviously, for a splendid Big Apple, they have waited long enough, so long that they have all developed patience.
