I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 26

Both of them moved very quickly, but it still took a lot of time to clean out the house of more than 200 square meters. They were busy from the morning to 12:[-] noon, and their stomachs were already growling with hunger.

Fortunately, there was a Wal-Mart supermarket nearby, so they drove together to buy a lot of things, including quilts, pillows and other daily necessities, as well as steak, peas, potatoes and broccoli. It was already 01:30 in the afternoon when we returned to the villa .

Both of them were starving, so they worked together again.

Tracy was in charge of frying the steak and adjusting the pepper sauce, while Chu Xiao washed the peas, broccoli, and boiled potatoes for mashed potatoes, and did not eat until two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Too bad, I forgot to buy red wine." Chu Xiao sat down and remembered, "The first meal in the new home should be clinking glasses."

"No one drinks at noon." Tracy raised the water glass in her hand and said, "Substituting water for wine is pretty good. Come on, cheers! I wish you a happy housewarming!"

"Thank you, cheers!"

The two touched the water glasses on the dining table, and they officially completed the housewarming ceremony.

"Wow, this steak is so delicious! The meat is tender and juicy, and it's much better than the outside!" Chu Xiao couldn't help admiring as soon as he took a bite.

"It's so delicious, you're exaggerating." Although Tracy said so, she was actually very happy in her heart. Who wouldn't listen to praise.

"It's really delicious, it's not an exaggeration at all." After Chu Xiao finished speaking, he hesitated, and his voice suddenly became much quieter, "Can you come over to play more often in the future? I really like to eat your fried steak."

"En." Tracy's voice was also very small, but she finally agreed.

After a simple lunch, Chu Xiao took the initiative to pack the tableware, and then followed Tracy back to the motel, returned the room, and brought back his own things.

After finishing all this, it was already past 4 pm.

"Go out for a walk?" Trish offered the invitation.

"Okay, where are you going?"

"Santa Monica Beach."

The two left the villa and walked to the right along the road in front of the house. You can see palm trees full of tropical style and various flowers dotted on the balconies of houses everywhere. Due to the lack of pedestrians, it looks quiet and natural.

When you turn left at the first intersection, the scenery changes suddenly. There are many people walking around on the street, and cafes and bars can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road.

The road is paved with small stone bricks. Walk to the right along the path for about 1000 meters to reach the Santa Monica/Lincoln stop of the No. 4 bus. Walk along Santa Monica Blvd and look at the sea, and you will find Santa Monica Beach.

Santa Monica Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Los Angeles and the closest beach to the city center.

The coastline here is 2 miles long and stretches into the distance. The clear water, long beach, soft and fine sand, and warm California sunshine attract a large number of tourists. Some people play in sexy bikinis, Some people are playing volleyball on the beach, while others are riding bicycles leisurely along the coastline, enjoying the sea breeze blowing in their faces.

Tracy took Chu Xiao and sat down on a beach with few people, quietly enjoying a lazy sunbath.

"You know, when I was young, I used to go to this beach to play, and I stayed there all day until the sun went down." Tracy raised her head halfway, closed her eyes, and felt the sunshine and the sea breeze.

"Thinking about it, I feel very happy." Chu Xiao followed her example and closed his eyes, and then asked, "Living here is very comfortable, why did you move away?"

"Because..." Tracy opened her eyes upon hearing this, her expression became a little gloomy.

Chu Xiao felt something was wrong, and opened his eyes immediately to see her expression, knowing that there might be a story that is not convenient to mention, and Americans pay special attention to personal privacy and don't like others to ask questions. Thinking of this, he He smiled casually, "It's okay, I'm just asking casually, I don't need to answer."

"Thank you." Tracy smiled gratefully with a look of relief, and couldn't help feeling a little more fond of this oriental man in her heart.

After that, both of them remained silent and began to enjoy the sunset quietly.

People say that the sunset in Los Angeles is picturesque, and the breeze is intoxicating with the sunset, and there is indeed a reason.

When the sun here was about to set, the color changed from light yellow to a blood-red mass, and then the blood-red mass seemed to be smashed into pieces, "Poof, it was all splashed into the sky, and the sea water was reflected." It turns pink and meets the sun in the distance, showing yellow, purple, orange and other colors, which are extremely gorgeous, just like an impressionist oil painting.

Chu Xiao saw a lot of people approaching, and started to take out his camera to take pictures. Not far away, the Pacific Park on the beach pier attracted even more people, because there was the only solar-powered ferris wheel in the world.When the sun is slowly setting, the colorful outline of the Ferris wheel leaves the most special light and shadow between the sea and the sky.No matter where you are on the beach, you can see it.

"Do you want to take a Ferris wheel? Through the slowly rising carriage, you can see the most beautiful scenery on the coastline." Tracy suggested.

"Okay!" Chu Xiao immediately agreed.

Just as the two were about to get up, they suddenly found a group of men and women in front of them constantly looking at them. To be precise, it was one of the men who was looking at Chu Xiao.

"Yo yo yo, it's really you, Chu Xiao!" In the blink of an eye, the man had recognized him, and started walking towards this side with an excited face.

Chu Xiao took a closer look, and saw that the person came with an Asian face, nearly 1.8 meters tall, about the same age as himself, with a good-looking face, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Why, don't you recognize me?" Someone patted Chu Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's me, Shen Hu!"

"Shen Hu?" Chu Xiao quickly retrieved the name in his mind, and when he turned to the high school stage, he suddenly remembered that he had a high school classmate named Shen Hu, who was 1.78 meters tall, and he was on the school basketball team with him Yes, as a point guard, in fact, he doesn't play the ball very well, but he has always dreamed of dunking with a flat frame, but unfortunately he can only make a suspected ball into the basket.

In high school, Chu Xiao had made tremendous progress. Not only could he dunk flat, but he was also unstoppable in the National High School League, which made Shen Hu envious.The two were on the same school team, and their idols were both Kobe, so they quickly became friends who talked about everything.Not only are they next to each other in the locker, but Kobe's posters are plastered everywhere... And the most worthwhile thing they have done is to save money and buy a pair of 2K4 sneakers signed by Kobe .

Later, without knowing what happened, Shen Hu suddenly disappeared one day during the summer vacation of the second year of high school, and he didn't even have time to say hello to Chu Xiao, which made him very uncomfortable and didn't understand what happened.

Until Chu Xiao went to college, was picked by scouts to join the CBA, and then landed in the NBA in the United States. He experienced too many people and things in the middle, and gradually forgot about Shen Hu, until he was suddenly mentioned at this moment.
