Chapter 138: The Cafe of Counterculture
This episode of the Star Lounge was a great success, and all those who participated in the recording of the show received an unedited original disc as a souvenir. And this episode will air tomorrow night, before the Pacers' game against the Hornets in prime time.
Ava sent Li Cheng to the door of the TV station building, "I wish you a smooth match tomorrow night." ”
"Thank you for your blessings."
Ava looked at Li Cheng with a smile and said, "Are you free tonight?" ”
"What's wrong?" Li Cheng was a little confused.
"I'll treat you to dinner in the evening!" As the head of Indianapoli TV, Ava has never been a man who can't see through, and this time she can't see through Li Cheng, so she wants to find some opportunities to learn more about this somewhat mysterious Chinese.
"Am I going to be lucky?" Li Cheng's mind flashed with thoughts, and then nodded in response: "Okay!" When do you get off work, I'll pick you up, I'll invite dinner, although I'm poor, but I can still afford a meal. ”
"I've never heard of poor people in the NBA." Ava smiled: "I get off work at five o'clock, you can come at half past four, call me when you arrive." "The two of them were talking to each other on the phone.
"No problem." Li Cheng said.
Ava watched Li Cheng's yellow taxi slowly drive away, the smell of car exhaust had not completely dissipated, the corners of her mouth drew an arc, and she smiled slightly. "I'm really curious, what kind of man is he?"
Li Cheng sat in the taxi, looking at Ava's mobile phone number just recorded in his mobile phone, and couldn't help but smile. Men are always prone to a crush on beautiful women.
He drove the taxi straight to the Pacers' training gym. Even if he has a date in the evening, he can't let go of his training.
The afternoon was the time for the team to practice together, and O'Brien didn't expect that Li Cheng, who had already taken a leave of absence, would come back. However, he was very appreciative of Li Cheng's diligence.
At four o'clock, the team's joint practice ended, and according to Li Cheng's rhythm, he would stay and practice by himself. But this time he followed most of the people into the locker room.
"Li Cheng, do you have something to do tonight?" Tinsley asked.
"Hmmm! Going out for a meal with a friend in the evening. ”
"A woman for sure." Granger flashed out of nowhere.
"You're not practicing today?"
"You're not here, I'm bored by myself. You are a model worker in our team, you are gone, what are you still practicing? Granger said nonchalantly.
Li Cheng spread his hands helplessly and said, "Okay! ”
Seeing that Li Cheng had changed into a suit again, Granger couldn't help but joke: "It's the first time I've seen someone who comes to train in a suit." You don't know how to go back and change your clothes. ”
"He's going to wear it for the night." Tinsley answered for Li Cheng.
"Oh, too. He's going on a date with a woman at night. Granger made a look of surprise.
"If you don't say a word, you won't die." Granger's voice spoke, as if he wanted to sue everyone, Li Cheng scolded.
Granger walked up to Li Cheng and put his arms around his shoulders, and said mysteriously, "Who are you going on a date with at night?" ”
"It's none of your business."
"Let me guess then." Granger's eyes looked at the ceiling, and he muttered a few words like a magic stick, and then said, "It must be Nicholas Ava, right?" ”
"Grass! How do you know. ”
"I thought of it with my toes. But I remind you that Ava is the goddess of all men in Indianapolis, and you date her. Be careful not to leave the house in the future. Granger patted Li Cheng on the shoulder.
"you, I'll go first." Li Cheng waved goodbye to his teammates, and then took the lead out of the locker room.
By 4:20 Ava was ready to leave work, and she sat in front of her office. Staring at the Hellokitty mini clock on the desk, the second hand moves step by step.
"He's coming soon!" Ava was still very interested in the evening date, and at this time she unconsciously took out her makeup case and looked in the mirror to make up the powder.
Half past four. Ava's phone rang just in time.
"You're so punctual." Ava picked up the phone.
Li Cheng whistled and said, "Beauty." Are you ready? ”
"Coming down right away." Ava hung up the phone.
Soon, a Miaoman figure appeared in Li Cheng's sight.
"Where are we going?"
"Drive my car! I know a good café. Let's go have some coffee first and then have dinner. Ava said.
"Okay." Li Cheng nodded and followed Ava to the parking lot of Indianapolis TV.
Li Cheng's height felt a little cramped in Ava's Audi TT, but with Ava's repeated insistence, Li Cheng finally sat in the driver's seat.
Ava showed the way, Li Cheng drove, and they came to a café called Counterculture, which was owned by a young man. The heavy metal rock in the store has a bar feel, and it is not at all as quiet and elegant as a typical café.
"It's a good place to feel!" Hearing the heavy metal rock music here, Ava seemed a little excited.
"The environment is good, but it's a little noisy, and it takes a lot of noise to speak."
Ava covered her mouth and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be quite humorous." ”
"You didn't expect more!" Li Cheng said.
At this time, the waiter walked up to them, Li Cheng ordered a latte, and Ava ordered a concentrated macchiato.
After the waiter brought the coffee again, he didn't immediately walk away, "Can you two sign for me?" ”
Li Cheng took off the toad mirror on his face, and the other party obviously recognized him. "You recognize me?"
"The average guest doesn't sit for so long with sunglasses, and your height betrays you. As for Miss Ava, she took off her sunglasses, and I had no reason not to know her. The waiter said very calmly.
Li Cheng smiled, took his autograph book, and wrote his name very happily, and Ava then signed his name as well.
"Slow use for two." The waiter bowed to them and left.
Ava stirred the coffee in the cup with a coffee spoon, then gently fanned her hand against the cup in the direction of her nose, letting her nose taste the coffee first.
"The coffee here is good." Ava exclaimed.
Li Cheng judged from Ava's actions that she was a very well-cultivated person, he smiled and said, "If it's just a rebellious element here, I'm afraid it won't be able to attract so many guests." ”
Ava nodded slightly, then took a sip of her coffee. Li Cheng looked at Ava's elegant movements, and for a while he actually had some heart-warming feelings. (To be continued......)
