Chapter 242: On the eve of the final
Jessica sat quietly in her position, her pretty ponytail made her look less charming on the stage, and more of the unique charm of a fresh girl, and the clean and transparent atmosphere made the girl so eye-catching even if she was in the crowd, just like Luo Yun's idleness and freshness when she walked the street on weekdays, this is a temperament that comes out of her bones, not deliberately.
Leonard asked about Jessica's current situation from time to time, such as artist life and Korean customs, etc., and Dedmon and Jessica also have a relationship, everyone knows each other, so there is not much estrangement between the few people.
Anna looked at the legendary woman while drinking the sweet wine in the glass, the simple clothes did not reduce her score in the slightest, as if this girl was originally like this, especially the deep eyes, bright as stars, she had only seen in Luo Yun for so many years, and Jessica was the second.
This can't help but make Anna sigh a little, it turns out that there are always some people on this shijie who are so similar, even if they have all kinds of differences, but the essence is not much different.
Several people did not inform Luo Yun, this was Jessica's request, she actually didn't want the boy to know the news of her coming to the United States, after all, the lie she had lied to him was too hurtful, until now Jessica still remembers Luo Yun's desperate eyes when she left that night.
Because she knows that that kind of thing is unacceptable to any man, not to mention that Luo Yun is now living with a beautiful girl in Hollywood, and the girl is even more unlikely to bother, Jessica just wants to come to the United States and insist with his courage!
About forty minutes later, after lunch, Leonard drove Sika to a hotel in Los Angeles. Because the girl has just arrived in the United States, she still needs to reverse jet lag. And the life of a female artist is already very busy. Once you don't rest well, you will have a big stubble, and this Leonard is still clear.
The car shuttled through the streets of Los Angeles, with Jessica and Leonard alone in the car, while Dedmon and Anna took a taxi back to Honeycutter's home.
The girl sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window at the whizzing street scene and couldn't help but feel a little in a trance, Los Angeles is still so star-studded, and some iconic buildings are hung with large UCLA posters with a smiling boy on it. Holding a basketball, pointing to the champion from afar, it is so dazzling under the boundless sky.
Finally, after ten minutes, Leonard drove the car into the underground parking garage of a hotel, but just as he was about to get out of the car, Jessica stopped him.
"Sally!" The girl's face looked a little embarrassed, she had never been so impulsive, even she felt a little unbelievable coming to the United States this time, but there was no way, she had to come. Otherwise, you will fall into self-blame forever.
It's a subconscious act, from her well-cared for feelings!
"What's wrong?" Leonard looked at the girl in surprise. Seeing that the other party wanted to speak and stopped, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and then asked.
Jessica saw Leonard back in the car, but she couldn't say anything when it came to her lips!
The two of them were silent!
Oh, yes! She came to the United States, but the NCAA Finals tickets have long been sold out, even if you have money, you can't buy it, and it has reached the point where there is no price, so she can only find Leonard, find this Luo Yun's most haode friend!
"What's the matter?" Leonard saw that Jessica didn't speak, and suddenly became a little anxious, he was different from Luo Yun, he was always an anxious child.
Jessica drooped her little head, and there was a smell of pity on her delicate face, she was worried, worried that Leonard would not be able to help her.
However, just as Jessica was secretly struggling, Leonard spoke!
"You're looking for Luo Yun?" The black boy had actually guessed the purpose of Jessica's coming to the United States, because she was alone this time, abandoned her identity as a female artist, and came to the United States as an ordinary girl.
Jessica buried her head even lower, and finally after a few minutes she snorted and nodded.
"Then I'll call him and ask him to come over right away!" Seeing this, Leonard immediately took out his mobile phone, although he is Luo Yun's friend, but he also has a good relationship with Jessica, the girl came to the United States alone, how can he not help, can he just watch her walk alone on the streets of the United States?
"Don't!" Jessica immediately sat up after hearing this, looking at Leonard's eyes full of pleading, the black boy looked at her suspiciously, and the girl had to shake her head!
It wasn't until Leonard put down his phone that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"And why did you come to the United States?" Leonard was puzzled, in fact, he had vaguely guessed a few points in his heart, but he was not sure, so he wanted to ask clearly.
The girl was silent, sitting in the cold carriage and looking so lonely, in fact, Sika had a lot of grievances in her heart that she couldn't say, she obviously couldn't forget that person, but she had to make up a false lie to deceive him, as a Korean female artist, she really had too many difficulties, but no one knew about all this.
"Are you going back to watch the game tomorrow? Tomorrow is the day when Luo Yun will hit the championship! Leonard asked tentatively, for at this particular moment he had met the most incredible person, and he could not think of any other reason than that.
"Yes!" Jessica said softly: "That's what I'm here for, I watched every game he played last year and this year, I watched every game!" "Girls don't know what season means, they can only describe it last year and this year.
However, the girl's words made Leonard gasp, to be honest, although he is Luo Yun's best friend, there is no guarantee that he has watched all the games of the little guy, even UCLA fans may not be able to find a few! What's more, Jessica is still a thin girl, a female artist who is busy with announcements.
"And will you go tomorrow?" Leonard then asked, looking at Jessica with a somewhat complicated look, to be honest, he now felt that Luo Yun and Jessica were the most stupid decision to separate, and it was enough for a woman to do this for him.
The girl was playing with her fingers alone and her head was lowered. There was a faint glint in his eyes. It's like rain and mist filling the eye sockets. Qiang Yan smiled and said: "I will go, that is his most difficult moment, I want to accompany him!" β
Leonard was speechless, he really couldn't find anything to say at this moment, no matter what happened between Jessica and Luo Yun, but in his opinion, no matter how big the scar between the two was, it couldn't evolve like this.
"I probably won't be able to go, though!" Jessica looked at Leonard. She really had no choice but to ask him for help.
"Weishenme, why can't you go since you're here!" Leonard didn't expect a glamorous female artist to worry about a small ticket, because it was simply impossible, but Jessica was like that!
The girl smiled bitterly, and the clear female voice sounded again.
"That's why I'm looking for you, I need a ticket to the finals, even in the corner!"
"Tickets?" Leonard let out a strange cry when he heard this, and then looked at Jessica with incredible eyes: "You don't have a ticket?" β
"Hmm!"
"You came to the United States without a ticket, do you know if you might run for nothing!" Leonard smiled wryly. This woman is really stupid to come to the United States alone. Didn't she know to buy tickets in advance?
In fact, Leonard really blamed Jessica, after all, the decision to come to the United States was made after the Final Four, and the tickets for the finals had already been sold out at that time, and the girl had not looked for it, but there was no such thing as none.
However, the girl's words made Leonard stand on the spot.
"What's this, when Luo Luo came to South Korea alone in 08, I can't!" Jessica smiled and said, she already knew the purpose of Luo Yun's visit to South Korea in the Black Sea year, and he was just to accompany him at that time, but he told him a big lie!
At that time, he was just a child, but as time went by, he grew up, as if the scenery he passed by always hid Jessica's first shadow, and when he returned to the United States, his mind was full of his longing factor.
Even, even the call between him and his sister will be jealous!
This is Jessica, a girl who simply guards her feelings, just like the pretty ponytail has never changed, restoring the essence, she is still the little girl standing under the maple tree, and her memory has never been mottled!
"You need a ticket to the finals?" Leonard explained Jessica's purpose for looking for him, smiled when he saw the girl nod, and then took out a piece of colored cardboard with the words NCAA printed on it from his bag and handed it to the girl.
Sika was stunned, she just wanted Leonard to help, and didn't ask him to give up the ticket to herself.
"Aren't you going? You're Lolo's best friend! Jessica couldn't think of any reason to convince herself to accept Leonard's kindness, but the ticket was placed in front of her, and she had a faint desire in her heart.
Leonard smiled after hearing this: "Don't worry, this ticket was given to me by Luo Yun, and Anna Na also has one, and I will use her ticket to enter tomorrow!" β
"And what about Anna? Wouldn't she be able to go in that case? Jessica was a little unbearable, after all, Anna and Luo Yun were also friends.
However, Leonard shook his head with a smile and comforted: "Don't worry, Anna basically sleeps when she goes to the court, and it's better to give it to the most useful person than to waste it!" β
"Ahh Jessica obviously didn't expect Leonard to say that about her fiancΓ©e, but she had to go to Staples, so she nodded and agreed, then took a few dollars out of her purse and handed them to Leonard for him to accept.
As a result, Leonard still shook his head, which made Jessica a little puzzled!
"Do you think I'm going to ask for your money? And this ticket was given to me for free by that stinky boy, you really have to give him the money, but I think you better forget it! β
"Really?" Jessica actually knew that Leonard wouldn't accept it, but the two hadn't seen each other for many years, and the nature of friends hadn't changed, but the way they got along with each other had changed a lot.
"But you have to think about it, when you go to the stadium, you might run into Vera, Christine and Roberts, all three of which are not fuel-efficient lamps, especially Roberts!" Leonard kindly reminded.
Jessica snatched the ticket from Leonard's hand and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid!" β
Back in the hotel room, the girl opened the curtains, and the warm sunlight reflected on her face through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, which made the whole person feel a lot more comfortable.
Just tomorrow, just tomorrow I will go to the Staples Center not far away, sit on the spot to watch his game, and accompany him through the college basketball Zuihou journey, which is also the most important moment of his life!
However, at this time, Luo Yun didn't know Jessica's arrival at all, Leonard didn't call him, Anna and Dedmon were the same, he was still practicing the prescribed tactics in the arena according to Larsson's instructions, repeatedly passing, running, shooting, and the movements were smooth!
The bandage on his forehead is still there, but it doesn't affect his play at all, Roberts is gone, but he still has a game, this is Winnie the Pooh, and he never mixes emotions with basketball!
Larsen looked at his best disciple, smiling under his gray hair, the final is tomorrow! (To be continued......)
