Chapter 002: Bar Trouble
After completing the discharge procedures, Li Chen limped to the outside of the hospital with Amy's support.
Although it is undeniable that the fragrance emanating from the girl next to him makes him feel a little comfortable, the scorching sun above his head still makes people really feel the urge to turn around and go back to the hospital. Although the strong smell of disinfectant in the hospital makes people a little uncomfortable, they can't stand the coolness of others.
Stopped a taxi and drove to the bar, and when he arrived at the place, Amy helped Li Chen get out of the car, and he was still very satisfied with the careful care of the girl, "If you have a wife like this, what more can you ask for?" As everyone knows, at present, the two are just a simple relationship between the creditor and the wronged leader.
The thought is a little far, but it is good to have a goal, Li Chen has to comfort himself like this.
What appears in front of people is a bar with a strong rural style, because it is located in a metropolis like Los Angeles, and the target audience is mostly college students and white-collar workers, and there are many female customers, so the small and fresh style is still a bit of a way out in the bustling metropolis.
Of course, this also proves that Joey's mind is quite good. Because of the time, it is still relatively deserted now.
"Maple Leaf Bar?" Amy looked at the sign, there was no word on the sign, just a large maple leaf, so the regulars called this bar.
Amy had also heard from her classmates about this place, but she had never been there, and she didn't often come to noisy places like bars because of her strict family education. Amy likes to be alone quietly, reading a book, listening to music, or drawing something she wants to draw.
"Yes, Maple Leaf Bar, have you been here? Many of the guests here are students from nearby universities? Li Chen heard the girl say the name of the bar, and thought that she often came here, but after searching Cruze's memory, he couldn't find any news about this girl.
"No, I heard from a friend, I'm a Puritans, and my parents are strict, so I rarely come to these places, and after a long time, I get used to it." Amy shrugged and said helplessly.
Indeed, a strict tutoring is not a happy thing for boys and girls, after all, Amy is still a little envious in her heart when she sees other peers playing all kinds of crazy games.
Li Chen was a little surprised, such a beautiful girl turned out to be a devout believer, which was still very incredible in his cognition, and he thought that American children were all as open as they were on TV.
In fact, the Puritans are an important part of the United States, at the end of the 16th century, most of the Puritans moved to the United States in order to escape the persecution of religion in England, and now people know the Puritans, generally refers to the Puritans in the United States.
The Puritans are not just a sect, they are an attitude, a tendency, a values, the Puritans are the most reverent, the most holy Protestants, they advocate a simple, realistic, equal life before God.
Although he was surprised that the girl was so religious, Li Chen did not reject it, on the contrary, he was a little happy, after all, a pure girl will always attract people.
Entering the bar, because it was not time to go to work, there were only two cleaners in the bar, Li Chen said hello to them, and went straight to the third floor, the first and second floors are the places where the business is located, and the third floor is the place where the employees rest and entertain.
One of the rooms belongs to the small boss of Cruz, usually sometimes tired from work and don't want to go home, Cruz will live here, the room is equipped with air conditioning, TV, computer and other household appliances.
Because his leg is still injured, and he can't always rely on Amy, after all, he is still a student and has his own life, so he can't always rely on others, and there are always employees in the bar, so Li Chen plans to recuperate here.
Amy helped Li Chen sit down and looked at the surrounding environment, "Your environment is not bad, you have everything, it's much better than the apartment I rented." ”
Li Chen listened to the girl's words and smiled, "If you like it, you can also live here, anyway, I don't feel too crowded." One sentence immediately exposed the true nature of the wolf.
Amy's face turned red because of her tutoring, and her friends knew that she was a Puritans, so few boys made some frivolous jokes with her, and religious belief was inviolable in the minds of most Westerners.
"I'm kidding you, but there's a spare room here for friends, and if you want to change to a new environment, you can stay here for two days." Li Chen found that he liked this easily shy girl more and more.
"By the way, Amy, can you help me cook two packs of instant noodles, there are eggs in the fridge, I'm a little hungry now, and bread, you can get some if you want to eat for yourself, the kitchen is next door."
Soon Amy brought two bowls of boiled instant noodles, one bowl per person, watching Li Chen eat in a big gulp, Amy asked funny, "How long have you not eaten?"
Li Chen, who was gobbling up, raised his head, "Eun, the main thing is that the noodles you cook are so delicious, the first time I met someone who can cook instant noodles so delicious, it will be wasted if you don't eat more."
It seemed that his compliment didn't work for the girl, and Amy smiled slyly, "How about I cook instant noodles for you for every meal these days?" ”
"Well, that's it, forget it, although Amy's noodles are delicious, but, by the way, since you can even make instant noodles so delicious, then you must have something better, I'm still waiting to feast on it." Li Chen admires his IQ very much, God knows that if he has to eat instant noodles all day, he can last for a few days.
"Amy, aren't you a student, don't you have to go to class lately? Are you going to be okay with me at school? Remembering that Amy was still a student, I wondered if her words to take care of herself in the rest of the day would affect her studies.
Li Chen's thoughtfulness made Amy feel very comfortable, shook her head Amy and said, "It's okay, have you forgotten that it's still summer vacation, there are still two weeks before school starts, didn't the doctor say when you were just discharged from the hospital, the injury on your leg will heal in about a week, it's okay." And Julie hasn't been to Los Angeles yet, so now I'm living alone in an apartment, everywhere. ”
"That's good", Li Chen nodded, "If you have your own things to do, you can go at any time, you can come over when you have time or when you are bored, this place is free for you." ”
"Eun, in fact, sometimes I secretly follow Julie and them to the bar, but they are all busy looking for handsome guys, and they always leave me alone to be pestered by those strangely dressed boys." Amy seems to be a little annoyed by her friend's heavy sex and light friend's behavior.
The girl's angry appearance was very cute, like a porcelain doll, and Li Chen couldn't take his eyes off it for a while. "That's good, you won't have those people pestering you in me, I have 6 security guards, whoever wants to mess with you will throw him outside." Patting his chest, he punched Amy for a package ticket.
------------------------------------------------------------
Soon a week passed, Amy came to the bar at a fixed time every day, and then went back in the evening, occasionally Amy would stay late at the bar, tell Li Chen about the fun things in school, and listen to the performance of the resident band in the bar.
Li Chen also gradually became familiar with the days when Amy was by her side, and the relationship between the two was finally able to rise to the level of friends.
Amy also knew that Li Chen liked her, but although she had little experience in love, she knew that Li Chen had a good impression of her and she did not reject being with him, but she always turned a blind eye to Li Chen's bold show of love, and Amy felt that she needed more time to understand each other.
That night, as usual, Amy sat at the bar, ready to finish the rest of the drink in the cup and go back to the apartment, watching Li Chen in the distance talking and laughing with several beautiful women.
Although Amy was angry, she couldn't show it, so she had to hold a straw and keep stirring in the cup, as if she could vent her dissatisfaction with Li Chen.
"Hmph, bastard, don't you think I'm going to be angry at all, okay, I'm so angry, bastard, you dare to laugh at me, you're done, I'll put bread on toothpaste for you tomorrow."
Li Chen has been well integrated into the life circle of Cruze these days, and he will be arguing with a few frequent guests, which is nothing more than some topics about how this movie is and how the party is good.
Looking back, Amy was looking at herself, and he was full of self-confidence and made a smile to Amy that he thought was charming, but he didn't know that this was completely a naked provocation in the eyes of the girl.
"Hey, beauty, may I have a drink?" A figure suddenly appeared in front of Amy's eyes, blocking Amy's gaze and successfully intercepting Amy's anger that she didn't vent.
Amy, who was angry, didn't raise her head, and threw out a sentence coldly, "No need, and, please stand up a little, you're blocking me!" Thank you".
Vujacic has been frustrated this year, thinking that his playing time will definitely increase significantly after Ariza's injury, and it is not impossible to dare to start a little, because according to the grapevine, coach Phil Jackson intends to make Odom the team's sixth man.
But who knew that Tiezha, who came out of the injury, became more and more fierce, especially in the comeback battle against the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, and his strong defense even won him a "cobra" praise from the coach, and the love of the KFC grandfather for Tiezha is already obvious to all.
plus a Luke Wharton in front of him, which made Vujasic, who has always been high and low, even more nervous about his position in the team, and his thin presence made him afraid that he would be swept away by the team when he suddenly woke up one day.
Feeling at a low point in his career, in order to alleviate his depressed mood, he pulled his teammate Jordan Farmar to the long-admired Maple Leaf Bar.
Sure enough, the rumors were true, as soon as the two entered the door, Vujacic found that there was a bright and blind titanium alloy X-eyed beauty sitting on the bar, with a beautiful figure and a delicate face, although there is never a shortage of beauties in Hollywood, a place where stars gather, but Vujacic feels that the beauty in front of him is a little more beautiful than those stars.
Considering himself dashing, he shook his hair, put on a charming smile, and invited the girl in the most gentlemanly tone, but sadly, the girl's reaction was completely unexpected by him.
Amy's ignorance and the unconscionable laughter of Famar next to her made Vujacic feel disgraced, but the strong Xiao Wu still held on to his face and continued.
"Hey, beauty, have you watched the Lakers game, I'm a member of the Lakers, how about watching our game with your friends one day, can I get you a few tickets with good locations?" In return, will you give me a drink?"
Beauty is not good to be tempted, this is Xiao Wu's rule of doing things, the price of Lakers tickets can be notoriously expensive, and it is cheaper than New York, especially a few tickets with good locations, which still has some temptation for the general public in Los Angeles.
"I'm sorry, I don't know about the Lakers, I'm busy right now." Amy's answer completely shattered Xiao Wu's self-confidence, he rarely tasted the feeling of being ignored, his face was flushed but he couldn't think of the next lines, and the uncontrollable laughter of his teammates next to him made him feel that he couldn't get off the stage, so he stood in front of Amy in a daze.
Jordan Famar watched Vujacic deflated, laughed and felt that his opportunity had come, and was about to go up to show his charm, but a pair of hands suddenly put on his shoulders, and cold words followed.
"Brother, if you don't mind, I want to say, you've found the wrong person......"
