I just play ball

113 Threat
This time Li Yue heard it clearly.

But his mind was buzzing.

Is it too sudden?
too fast?

We've only known each other for two days, and there's no earth-shattering deeds like 'helping to block bullets', so why did you confess your love?

And it was Chenxi who took the initiative to confess, could this be the legendary love at first sight?
Or was it just a big joke, like in the opening?

"Are you serious?" Li Yue stared nervously and excitedly at Chen Xi's eyes, wanting to see what happened.

"Of course I'm serious, don't you believe me? Could it be that the next sentence will ask me what I like about you?" Chen Xi pouted, pretending to be annoyed on purpose, and almost said 'Don't be cowardly', the girl took the initiative to say, What are you still hesitating about?

Li Yue subconsciously scratched his head to relieve the embarrassment, and many thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

Although I don't know much about it, but Chenxi has a straightforward personality, plus she has a good figure, so of course I like it, but because of the nature of their work, unless someone voluntarily gives up their career pursuits, they will be in a long-distance relationship for a long time in the future. It must be pitifully small, and you have to fly back and forth between China and the United States, so you will inevitably encounter many challenges.

But since the girl has taken the initiative to speak up, dare to love and hate, what are you afraid of as a man?
What's more, it's just dating for a while to see, and it's not immediately considering marriage and having children, so there is no need to worry too much.

Just as he was thinking, a crowd of onlookers eating melons suddenly yelled 'kiss her', and the others followed suit.

Li Yue raised his head shyly, and saw Chen Xi's flustered face, hesitating in his heart.

To kiss or not to kiss?
I still don't want to kiss anymore. It's one thing to confess your love, but another thing to talk about it. It's easy to spoil the atmosphere if you go too fast.

After making up his mind, Li Yue raised his right hand, and Chen Xi understood in seconds, the panic disappeared immediately, and then raised his left hand.

"You wait for me in the VIP parking lot first." Li Yue led Chen Xi to the audience passage, and there were bursts of booing behind him.

...

Li Yue returned to the locker room, quickly finished taking a bath and changing clothes, forcibly suppressed his excitement, and sat on a chair waiting for the interview.

As usual, he took out his phone and swiped Twitter to pass the time, and suddenly found that the news of Chenxi's confession had spread, and it had become the tenth hot topic on the list. The two of them running hand in hand were clearly visible, obviously from a professional photographer.

The gossip media TMZ wrote: Finally, Li Yue began to fall in love, and there may be many girls getting drunk tonight.

BR wrote: It is revealed that Li Yue’s girlfriend is a super-rich second generation, with family assets of more than 100 billion US dollars, and her inheritance share exceeds 25%. In the future, she may help Li Yue acquire an NBA team.

HollywoodLife.com wrote: Li Yue's girlfriend is an entertainment director, and is currently discussing cooperation matters with Paramount, Universal Pictures, Legendary Pictures and other companies, and may help Li Yue enter the film industry in the future.

Li Yue couldn't help grinning when he saw all the speculations. The gossip media is more nonsense than the sports media.

Swiping and swiping, Twitter popped up several special attention update reminders in succession, just click to view them.

WOJ: According to internal information, the traffic and attention brought by Li Yue far exceeded Nike’s expectations. Nike executives are ecstatic about this, and have arranged designers to work overtime, hoping to launch Li Yue’s personal signature sneakers as quickly as possible.

Magic Johnson: The Western Conference Finals are over, and the Lakers return to the Finals after three years!
马克施泰因：恭喜李越成为NBA季后赛历史上第四位拿到20分10助攻10篮板5盖帽5抢断的球员，其他三人分别是拉尔夫桑普森、大卫罗宾逊、蒂姆邓肯。

Seeing all the compliments, Li Yue felt nothing in his heart, put down his phone and thought about what to do next.

With the influx of reporters, the post-match interview officially began. Li Yue simply answered two questions, rejected the press conference arranged by Black, and hurriedly left the locker room. On the way, he called Chenxi to discuss where to go next.

...

Li Yue rushed to the VIP parking lot, picked up Chenxi and left the Staples Center.

The two chatted freely about the gossip published by TMZ and other media, and arrived at DOA Steakhouse in about half an hour.Li Yue had a meal before the game and only ordered a small sirloin steak for supper, but Chen Xi ordered a lot of dishes and a bottle of red wine.

After confirming the menu, Li Yue was thinking about what to talk about, when Chen Xi said, "The last time you had an affair with that model, it seems that you were also at this steakhouse. Is there anything here that firmly attracts you?"

"I had an affair with that model because of many coincidences." Li Yue waved his hand, "I often come to this steakhouse, not because of any attraction, but because the taste is good, and it's very close to the arena. I’m too lazy to find a new restaurant, of course, there’s another important reason is that this store offers me a discount, next time I go to my place to fry steak for you.”

"You tricked me into going to your place like this?" Chen Xi tilted her head and chuckled, "Your expression is very natural."

Li Yue was slightly stunned, really meaningless, but since it's about this, why not follow the trend?

"Then do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to go, but my company still has a lot of things to deal with, and I have to go back to China tomorrow"

"What time is the plane, I'll see you off."

"It's 5 in the morning, it's too early, don't come, take a good rest, I'm accompanied by an assistant, the whole process is easy."

Li Yue thought after hearing the words, because they share the home court, the next game between the Lakers and the Clippers is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, so they really need to maintain their physical strength.

"Then you watch the finals, preferably after G3, we have to go to Miami for the first two games."

"Why are you so confident now? Will you be able to beat the Clippers and advance to the Finals?"

"Of course, I am a professional basketball player. The Clippers' two weakest points are exactly our two strongest points. Only the point guard can take advantage of the other three positions of the Clippers. They lag behind us in all aspects... ..."

Li Yue opened up the chatterbox, eloquently explaining why he had the confidence to beat the Clippers, and Chen Xi nodded in agreement frequently.

After finishing speaking, Chen Xi clapped her hands lightly, "You look more handsome than usual when you're serious, but in our line of work, it's hard to determine the rest time, so we can only decide when the time comes, don't prepare in advance."

Li Yue nodded silently. Long-distance relationships are so troublesome, and they can't meet each other because of time.

"By the way, I left before to take Nicole home because her mom was so mad about the tweet."

"That's good. I thought it was because your family was angry, and it was staged that the rich lady was forced to stay away from the poor man." Li Yue deliberately patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief, "How are you going to convince your parents?"

"I won't convince them." Chen Xi pouted, "I like you, they don't care."

"It's interesting to say that I received a lot of inquiries from my friends before, and I was quite shocked that you liked me. Many thought it was fake news, and thought it was too nonsense." Li Yue shrugged and spread his hands, "If you believe it, I suggest that you don't marry me .”

"Then we have to imitate those celebrities and make an official announcement." Chenxi picked up the phone and waved to Li Yue to sit down, "In case you continue to be wasted time by this kind of information, I also officially announce the end of being single, so as not to receive Pursue more."

"Good idea!" Li Yue got up and sat next to Chen Xi, the two of them held each other's shoulders and took selfies with scissors hands.

After finishing the photo, editor Chenxi tweeted: This is my boyfriend.

Li Yue forwarded and wrote: This is my girlfriend.

After tweeting, the waiter brought appetizers, and the two chatted while eating.

...

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Yue bid farewell to Chenxi, drove back to the apartment, took a shower and sat in front of the computer to check and send emails.

Most of them are all kinds of invitations, and the only valuable one comes from the agent Taylor. The houses entrusted to look for have been found. There are three places in total, and they are still concentrated near El Sergundo, but the places are bigger and the environment is better. Before meeting Put all the conditions.

Li Yue looked at the itinerary plan and set the viewing time to be the day after the Western Conference finals.

Just about to browse the news, the phone rang, and a text message from a stranger came in.

"Break up with her, or you will bear the consequences."
