"Oh......" Avril opened Zhang Chen's hand and said happily, "Actually, I'm already planning this thing...... I've bought my plane tickets and we're almost ready to go, knowing that it's a good thing to go for a walk. ”

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Well, okay...... Thank you. ”

Avril stood up and said, "It's okay, you can't believe it, I've been learning to cook lately, and I've learned several recipes from your country...... It's time for me to show off my stunts. ”

Zhang Chen hurriedly stood up and said, "No need, I can invite you to eat outside." ”

Avril said, "The main thing is to show you my stunts." ”

"Do you want me to help you?"

"You just sit there...... Don't you believe me? Avril glared at her in protest, Zhang Chen was startled, and hurriedly said I believe it, Avril walked into the kitchen with satisfaction, and after a while, she remembered the sound of all kinds of kitchen utensils colliding.

Zhang Chen browsed the Internet outside and found that many people in the NBA column were describing D'Antoni's whereabouts, and at the same time, they also made predictions about the future path of the Suns, and at the same time, they also began to predict Zhang Chen's whereabouts. After all, Zhang Chen's contract with the Suns is only one year, and at the end of this season, he has jumped out of the contract year, and he can almost start thinking about his own affairs, he can choose to stay in Phoenix, or he can take the olive branch handed by other teams and leave Phoenix to find a new direction of development.

Zhang Chen saw that most people thought they were leaving, and he was a little noncommittal, to be honest, when D'Antoni left, although the Suns still had a lot of ties with him, as well as his good friends Xiao Si and Nash, but the unreserved love for the Suns that penetrated deep into his bones also dissipated a lot, and he felt a little unhappy now, and he didn't think about it, just wanted to go with the flow.

Avril's dish was finally placed in front of Zhang Chen after more than an hour, Zhang Chen tasted it carefully, and then the cup was closed, almost throwing it out.

Avril looked at Zhang Chen's expression with an unkind expression: "Chen, how is it?" ”

"Ahem...... Delicious......" Zhang Chen's forehead was bruised, he swallowed the dish with difficulty, and then changed to a different variety, still feeling that his spine stood up all of a sudden, and he wanted to die or live. Zhang Chen suddenly felt that it seemed meaningless to live as a human being, but looking at Avril's eyes mixed with warning and expectation, he had no choice but to swallow his tears on the meal, and began to look for an excuse for eating less today.

"Is it delicious?" Avril smiled like an angel.

"Delicious, delicious......" The green tendons on Zhang Chen's forehead became more prominent, at this time, Zhang Chen's mobile phone suddenly rang, and suddenly Zhang Chen had an urge to burst into tears - heaven, earth, which angel is looking for me at this time? It's just a send-off in the snow! Zhang Chen hurriedly said sorry to Avril, opened the phone and saw that it was D'Antoni calling, Zhang Chen quickly answered and said, "Hey...... Boss, you're so cute, really! ”

D'Antoni was a little overwhelmed by this brainless remark: "Chen, what's wrong with you?" Are you being subjected to that? ”

Zhang Chen burst into tears again: "It's much worse than that!" …… By the way, Chief, did you call? ”

"Oh, that's right...... I'm in New York right now, and I've heard Steve say you're coming to New York too, so I'd like to ask you out for a cup of coffee, and if it doesn't bother you, we can talk about life and destiny together. ”

Zhang Chen nodded hurriedly: "Oh...... If I have time and time, I still want to discuss with you whether there is an end to the universe......" Then he made an appointment with D'Antoni, and then said sorry to Avril and ran out, Avril looked at Zhang Chen's back and said, "Honey, I will leave these dishes for you!" ”

Zhang Chen's eyes were dark, and he stumbled forward after falling in embarrassment, Avril looked at Zhang Chen's distant back angrily and funny, cleaned up the food on the table, and put them into garbage bags to make them permanent garbage.

――――Came to the place where he made an appointment with D'Antoni, this old guy suddenly changed his mind temporarily and said that he was going to see the sea, so Zhang Chen had to come to the beach again, and saw D'Antoni leaning on the railing from a distance, the wind blew his hair, at this moment this old guy seemed to be a poet, after nightfall, the lights were cut by the sea little by little, and some reflective elements loomed on D'Antoni's head, which really made the old man a little unclear.

"Hey, boss, when did you change your career to 007? Are you going to have the surname Bond? Got our joint location changed twice. Zhang Chen came to D'Antoni's side, leaned on the railing and looked at the sparkling sea, and said casually.

Zhang Chen realized that this guy still had a cigarette in his mouth, so he said: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, it turns out that you plan to become an artist or a poet?" ”

D'Antoni punched him, wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, and said, "New York is beautiful." ”

"It's beautiful." Through the limits of the retina, the city is extremely brilliant in the light of the lights, the lights are twinkling, the streets are full of people, the years are like a shuttle, all kinds of lights are intertwined into the most perfect dreamscape, and the drunken New York City is as alluring as a ripe apple.

D'Antoni smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes, it's really beautiful...... Maybe I should thank them for letting me leave that city and come to this dream place? After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhang Chen, and exhaled a puff of smoke, but he didn't know how to smoke, so his pretending to be a beautiful smoke ring was not only nondescript but also made him choke.

Zhang Chen knew what he wanted to say, so he also climbed the railing, and let his body close to the damp breath of the sea water blown by the night wind, and they jumped into his arms like dew spirits. The wind blew away his hair that wasn't too long, and then Zhang Chen said, "Maybe it's fate...... Truth be told, there are things you can't resist, and while Phoenix is a great place and we have memories there, you can't deny that fate will always exchange you something for something while making you lose something. ”

"yes, something more...... Oh, sorry, I almost forgot that your major was philosophy......"

Zhang Chen waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with philosophy, it's just some indescribable feelings...... When I was expelled from the varsity team, I thought it was the most I had lost, I lost basketball, I lost my dreams, I lost everything...... But Heaven soon gave me a wider view. ”

"Broader?" D'Antoni looked at the undulating waters in the night breeze and looked at the stretches of the water into the distance, and said: "But maybe you don't feel that feeling, for four years, we've been a high-level team in the league, and yet, at the end of the day, their attitude [the management] was like saying, we didn't win the championship, we didn't have anything. No matter how much you do, you want it all to get back together. In fact, there is no going back. Seriously, I love that team, I love the flying youngsters, I love Steve's beautiful shots, I love Amare's great physicality, but I know there's no going back since I stepped on the plane...... Hmmm......" D'Antoni gently picked up a fallen leaf that was flying in the wind: "Just like these winds, if you go, you really go." ”

"Before I went to the tryout, you told me that this was a trade and that the whole NBA was piled up with American knives...... So perhaps we should have understood long ago that we are all just a bunch of dollars that move around...... It shouldn't be so sentimental. ”

"Well, that's right......" D'Antoni said what he had been repressed for a long time, and felt much more comfortable: "I almost forgot the main purpose of being here today...... Damn it. ”

Zhang Chen said: "Actually, I have already guessed a little. ”

D'Antoni said, "Hmm...... I know you'll understand, so do you already have the answer? ”

Zhang Chen looked at the night and the darkness that was getting thicker and thicker, and suddenly took the leaf in D'Antoni's hand, and then let it fly into the wind, and finally the leaf disappeared into the vast twilight, Zhang Chen said: "Wouldn't it be great if it flew with the wind like this leaf?" Maybe I can really go with the flow and go with the flow, in our words. ”

D'Antoni nodded: "I see...... Do you want to see which side offers the highest price? ”

"Well, that's right, in our words, I want to pay back the price on the ground...... Hehe, I don't have a lot of options. ”

D'Antoni didn't look at Zhang Chen, but his words were clearly to say to Zhang Chen: "No matter what, Chen, I have something I want to tell you...... In the Knicks' system, there is bound to be a player who has an absolute offense, who needs to put the team on his shoulders when it matters most, and I would make him a unique part of the game...... He may only be able to attack now, but I'm sure he'll become the best defensive player in the league one day – well, I'll admit, I've really realized the damn defensive energy from my last loss. ”

Zhang Chen glanced at D'Antoni with a little emotion, but quickly withdrew his gaze, his eyebrows lowered slightly, and said: "Okay, I'll think about it, to be honest, I never wanted someone else to be my head......"

――――When I returned to Avril's room, it was more than nine o'clock, Zhang Chen was originally sad and ready to eat the food made by Avril, but she didn't expect Avril to have poured out the dish, Zhang Chen realized that Avril was just joking, she didn't know that the dish was very delicious.

After the two of them chatted for a while, Zhang Chen returned to the hotel he found nearby, and when he entered the study space in the evening, his ball control skills were better.

The next day, Zhang Chen and Avril finally embarked on the journey that had been planned many times, the plane roared away with the two people, they were going to that warm beach, and the plane took them into the blue sky and went to the place they had dreamed of for a long time.

Hawaii is the pearl of the Pacific Ocean, when Zhang Chen and they were still on the plane and did not fully land, they saw the turquoise sea surrounded several islands as warm as eyeballs, after the plane landed, this island was really presented in front of Zhang Chen and them. The sea is like a blue picture scroll covering the sky and the earth, although it was extremely hot when they got off the plane, but Zhang Chen and they were still prepared, but they were not too surprised.

The two of them found a hotel and went to the beach, the beach is pleasant, there are already tourists from all over the world, tourism accounts for a large proportion of Hawaii's economic makeup, many people come here every year for sightseeing, including many couples like Zhang Chen and them.

There are a lot of celebrities who come here for vacation, and if you go to Hawaii, you might pass by your idol, so some of the people here recognize Avril Lavigne but don't bother. It's just that when a few caring guys saw Zhang Chen and Avril holding together, they immediately felt that they had found the breaking point, so their cameras began to be appropriated for the purpose of candid photography.

The two of them set up a tent on the beach, and then Avril walked in and zipped up, and a moment later she came out of it wearing a three-point swimsuit, and her beautiful figure was perfectly presented in front of Zhang Chen, who blocked Avril in the tent while feeling that her nostrils were a little hot, and did not let her come out.

Avril said angrily, "Hey, Chen, can you tell me what exactly you want to do?" Why don't you let me out. ”

Zhang Chen's face was a little feverish: "I can't let those perverts see your thighs, otherwise I will suffer too much." ”

Avril laughed out loud when she heard what seemed to be an unbelievable value in their country: "Oh...... I have to say that Tatsu is so cute...... But I still want you to get out of the way as soon as possible...... Aren't you wearing just a pair of beach pants? You can't hold me to two criteria. ”

Zhang Chen was annoyed and angry: "I'm different from you!" ”

Avril smiled and pinched Zhang Chen's face: "Okay...... I promise to bury my body in the dirt when I go out, so that you don't feel bad for you, a cautious fellow. Zhang Chen reluctantly agreed, Avril buried herself in the sand like this, there are too many people doing this here, but it's nothing.

On this day, the two of them looked at the blue water, the blue sky, the white clouds, the breeze blowing, and the waves gently lapping the beach, all of which seemed to be a bright dream.

Zhang Chen also took a few non-mainstream photos with her under the pressure of Avril, and under Avril's coercion and temptation, Zhang Chen also had to puff out his cheeks, and the day passed quickly.

In the evening, the two of them ate some seafood nearby, which tasted quite refreshing, but it made them unconsciously recall the incident in Miami, and both of them were a little funny.

"I don't know if I'll be able to eat another pearl." Avril held an oyster and said with a smile.

"Oh, the pearls won't be eaten...... But I think you might want to eat an oyster! ”

Avril snorted, and then began to enjoy her own deliciousness, the sea breeze blew, blowing her sideburns flying hair, and the corners of her mouth were still a little oily, Zhang Chen took a tissue and handed it over, looking at her delicate face, it really felt like a dream.

At night, they returned to the hotel they had already found, but this beach did not stop until the evening, the heat wave was rolling and churning, even the air conditioning and floor air conditioning did not help, Zhang Chen was too hot, so he came to Avril's room and said, "Honey, I have a good proposal." ”

"Let's go, let's go......"

"Don't you want to ask me what my proposal is?"

"I've guessed ......" Avril looked bright in a pale yellow knee-length dress, with a rather casual pair of beach slippers on her feet, and it seemed that she was ready to go out.

"Uh......" Zhang Chen saw that Avril had already guessed, so he took her hand and walked out, Avril's palm was very soft, there was a faint feeling of warmth, Zhang Chen felt soft in his hand, Avril was so active, it didn't take long for her palm to break free from Zhang Chen's hand, looking for some beautiful traces on the beach, and at the same time she was also very restless and occasionally kicked a stone on the ground, and giggled when she watched the stone accidentally fly to the neck of a fat man, Then, when the fat man was looking for the culprit, Avril closed her mouth.

Zhang Chen scratched her nose and looked at her angrily, and Avril stuck out her tongue, noncommittal.

Even though it's been a long time at night, the beach is completely unrested, and there are many people who stay here to enjoy the cool breeze of the night and the feeling of the sea gently caressing the sand. The lights have a faint feeling here, as if they have been detached from the world, and only the occasional laughter of the people on the beach gives people the feeling of still living in the world.

"There are a lot of people here...... Zhang Chen frowned a little, pointed to the beach over there and said, "Let's go over there!" There shouldn't be anyone over there. ”

The two of them left the place where the lights were occasionally flickering and walked to the other side, and suddenly there were occasional heavy gasps and occasional low moans into the ears of the two people, and suddenly Zhang Chen felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly walked forward for a while.

Until it seemed that no one else haunted the place, Zhang Chen and Avril sat on the edge of the beach, and the sea water was still tirelessly hitting the sand, and it felt particularly crisp in the ears.

The sky was full of stars, Zhang Chen looked up at the sky, and suddenly said, "I haven't seen such a clear night sky for a long time." ”

Avril said, "Long time? What do you mean? ”

Zhang Chen smiled slightly: "When I was a child, I stayed at my grandmother's house for more than a year, and there was a nice name in that place called Caiyun Zhinan...... It's been many years......"

Avril leaned on Zhang Chendi's shoulder, and suddenly kissed him lightly on the neck......
