I just play ball

Chapter 23 What is this?
08:30 p.m., BOA Steakhouse, Los Angeles.

Li Yue leaned back on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, holding his mobile phone and scrolling through Twitter with relish, with a smile on the corner of his mouth from time to time.

Since Cara Delevingne publicly asked about the time and location of the party, he has received more than 50 private messages from strangers, with more than 95 comments.Although he has not read it completely, he is very sure that 5% of it is sarcasm and sarcasm, the most frequent word is 'unworthy', and the remaining [-]% is the encouragement of other Chinese or Asians.

Many keyboard warriors also appeared in Kara's tweet, mocking her for doing anything to become popular.

Some people also claimed that Kara is not a famous lady at all, all the titles and titles belong to the packaging, the family business has long since sunk down, and now she is getting together with Li Yue, the purpose is the same as the small role in the movie before, it is to make money.

This gathering of the two was like lighting a keg of explosives, which provoked the anger of many people.

It was this kind of annoyed reaction that made Li Yue very interesting, like watching a monkey show.

As he brushed, he caught a glimpse of someone stopping at the dining table out of the corner of his eye. When he looked up, Carla had arrived.He was about to get up to greet her, but his eyes were completely attracted by Kara's red leather pants, and he couldn't look away for a long time.

"Does it look good?" Kara pointed to her lace-trimmed suit, "How about this one?"

Li Yue blushed instantly, and quickly got up and moved the chair, "It's pretty nice."

"Thank you." Carla sat down slowly and suddenly smiled.

"What?" Li Yue frowned.

"Your suit doesn't seem to fit you well."

Li Yue twisted his body when he heard the words, looked left and right, and suddenly found that something was wrong, and immediately showed doubts.

"The cuffs are about a centimeter short. Sorry, I'm a little obsessive-compulsive." Kara waved.

Hearing this, Li Yue raised his right hand and stretched it with all his strength, and observed for a while, "I bought this suit two years ago, and I wore it only once to attend the Lakers press conference. Maybe it's because I grew taller again. .”

"How tall are you?" Carla let her long hair fall over her shoulders.

"Bare feet are 203 cm." Li Yue took the cup and poured water.

"If 198 is good, then we can walk together in the catwalk." Kara sighed slightly.

"No more than 5 centimeters?" Li Yue didn't understand why, but quickly realized, "You have a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"We models are all like this, because we need to control our weight for a long time. Is it the same for you basketball players?"

"I don't know about others, I don't care, just try not to eat junk food."

"Then how do you control your weight and maintain your strength at the same time? You're almost exhausted after a fight."

"Long-term training, strict training, targeted training."

"That's so boring, what do you usually play?"

"Play games, watch netizens make up stories, and follow dramas."

"That's even more boring. I searched the news and found that many basketball players like to go to nightclubs, especially the one named James Harden. Why don't you go? Can't beautiful women and good wine attract you?" Carla asked, staring at Li Yue .

"Of course I like beautiful women, but I don't like the noisy environment of nightclubs."

"I really like going to nightclubs. It seems that there is one less thing in common between us." Kara pouted, "Which nightclubs have you been to? Maybe the acoustics there are too bad, which caused you to misunderstand."

"I've never been to any of the nightclubs, mostly from TV and movies."

"What? You have been in Los Angeles for two years, but you haven't been to a nightclub once?" Kara widened her eyes, "I have to take you to experience it later, you will definitely fall in love with it, and become as frequent as James Harden go."

"No." Li Yue waved his hand, "There is still training tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early and get up early."

"You're so boring." Kara shook her head slightly. "No wonder my sisters persuaded me not to come out. Cultural differences really have to be considered. You Asians are just too rigid. You only know how to work and don't know how to play..."

"Wait a minute!" Li Yue interrupted, "This is just my personal habit. It has nothing to do with other people. I can't draw conclusions like that. Besides, we also have a lot of entertainment projects, and we definitely don't just know how to work."

"For example?" Cara's tone was slightly suspicious, "If there are many people together."

"Have you ever heard of square dancing? Whenever the sun goes down or rises, men, women and children gather together to dance to the rhythmic music until the sky is filled with stars or the streets are filled with vehicles. There is no skill limit, so don't be afraid. Some people make trouble, and there is no admission fee, no matter where you come from, no matter what your status is, everyone can participate!"

Li Yue said seriously.

"Wow! That sounds very interesting. Is there a video?" Kara put her face in her hands, full of anticipation.

"Not yet, I have to find someone to record a copy for you."

"That's so troublesome, can I see it in Chinatown?"

"Maybe, not sure."

"Then if you ask someone to record a copy for me, how much do I need to pay?"

"You don't need to give money, this kind of thing is just helping out, you are too deeply poisoned by capitalism!"

"Well, you'd better go to the nightclub with me later, I promise you will like it."

"Forget it." Li Yue didn't want to continue this topic, and immediately waved to the staff to make a point.

Seeing this, the staff came up and handed the menu to the two.Li Yue ordered a few dishes casually, and Kara also ordered quickly.

The previous chat topic was interrupted, and Li Yue didn't know how to speak for a while, thinking about what to talk about.

Carla didn't speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"You..." The two said at the same time, realizing that the other party had something to say, and shut up at the same time.

The two looked at each other and laughed together.

Li Yue scratched his head, confirmed with his eyes that Kara would not speak for the time being, and said again: "You said you were curious about me before, you can ask whatever you want now, and I will tell you everything, and I am also curious about what you are curious about me."

Kara blinked, "I like the kind of story that rises suddenly from obscurity, and you fit this perfectly. I read from the news that you have been injured for more than a year. I'm curious how you persevered."

"I just like to play, and it counts as a day if I can play, and the NBA is the highest level of basketball competition in the world, so even if I don't rise this time, I will continue to try, unless I really can't play."

"Then you are very lucky, what will you do after you retire?"

"Open a sports equipment store, or become a coach, choose one of the two."

"In America?"

"go back home."

"So you really only want to be friends with me who eat and drink?" Cara's tone suddenly became serious.

"Eh...what else?" Li Yue hurriedly sat up straight.

"Just pretend I didn't say it." Cara slapped her forehead, "You shouldn't drink before you come..."

Li Yue was noncommittal, and picked up his cup to drink water.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock.

Li Yue and Kara finished their meal and walked out of the steakhouse together.

Kara's limousine had already parked outside the door, and the two chatted for a while, and were about to say goodbye to each other, when a bearded white man as strong as Dashi Johnson stood in front of them, staring at Li Yue viciously, as if he was Watch Killing Father and Enemy.

The other party didn't take the initiative to attack, so Li Yue pretended not to see it.

He smiled and said goodbye to the nervous Kara, and turned to the parking lot.

But just after taking two steps, there was a sudden impact on his back, and he staggered and almost fell.

He quickly stabilized his figure, turned to face the bearded man, "What do you want to do?"

Before the bearded man could speak, Kara rushed up and said hastily, "Stanley! Stop!"

"You know each other?" Li Yue was a little confused.

"He is the bodyguard of a friend of mine. I thought it was just a joke...I'm very sorry, I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter." Kara stood between the two of them, her eyes beckoning Li Yue to leave quickly.

"Oh? A man is jealous, I hope I didn't cause you any trouble." Li Yue apologized slightly.

That Zeng thought, as soon as the words fell, the bearded man seemed to be stimulated and rushed forward.

Li Yue quickly slid away and raised his hands to signal that he didn't want to cause trouble.

"Don't say that, my friend is a woman, and she is worried that you will take me away..." Cara was afraid that the two would fight, and she panicked and lost her voice.

Li Yue was stunned. When he met a woman for a meal, he actually made another woman jealous?
What is this?
After being surrounded for a short time, Li Yue realized what was going on, "You guys talk, I'll slip away first."
