Chapter 58

After looking at his sportswear, Richard decided to buy a handsome set of clothes first.

The 24th is Christmas Eve. Since there is no Christmas game, the team gave the players a holiday early and went home to spend time with their families.

Especially for some players whose home is not yet in Oklahoma, of course they are eager to return.

So there was only Richard, a poor man who couldn't find a place to go, and there was not even a staff member in the player's dormitory.

Walking in the empty corridor, Richard sighed again. Although he didn't feel much about Christmas Eve, it didn't matter if he passed it, but in the United States, it was a day for family reunion, and Chinese people who valued family values ​​naturally felt that this festival was very important.

"Ding dong!" The voice of the text message startled Richard, there was still an echo in such an open place, it would scare people to death if they were scary.Especially when you scare yourself.

Who texts me?

Richard has a mobile phone and only uses it to surf the Internet. Except for the team, no one will contact him, and today is already a holiday...

"Dinner starts at six, get the hell out of here before then!"

It was a text from Westbrook.

Uh... I thought he had forgotten, but I didn't expect this to be already agreed upon.

The corner of Richard's mouth raised slightly, and he quickly replied with a message, "Yuanlulu will be here soon."

When visiting as a guest, you have to buy some small gifts, you can't leave empty-handed, and you can't delay buying clothes.

I called a taxi and asked the driver to take me to a large shopping mall in the city center.

Under the admiring eyes of the shopping guide, Richard spent a lot of money to buy a slim and handsome suit.

Thanks to the fact that Americans are taller, Richard can still buy suitable clothes, otherwise he would have to order them.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he is well-bred, handsome and intellectual.Richard nodded in satisfaction.

When I went out, I found another fruit shop and bought a bag of apples.

Although apples have nothing to do with Christmas Eve, it is the Chinese people who use their own language to force a safe fruit on others, but the saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor away is really "imported" from the world.

So there is no problem buying apples.

Richard himself can feel at ease.

It was already afternoon when I took a taxi to Westbrook's house again.

After all, a mansion with an area of ​​thousands of square meters will not appear in the city center.

Richard once again refreshed his concept of money.

The big mansion in front of me can play football in the yard alone. There is also a huge swimming pool in the middle of the yard. Even in winter, the water in the swimming pool is still blue and clear. It can be seen that it is being maintained all year round.

Huge floor-to-ceiling glass surrounds most of the room, and you can have a panoramic view of the yard from the window.

After looking outside the yard for 5 minutes, Richard retracted his chin that fell to the ground and rang the doorbell.

The gate opened automatically, and Richard walked straight into the door of the mansion along the road.

Once again envious of the mansions of the rich, the seemingly simple decoration is full of mysteries everywhere, just the huge crystal chandelier and huge fireplace in the living room, you know that this is by no means cheap.

The Christmas tree on the edge of the living room looks like a real tree. The height of about three meters does not reach the top of the living room. The colorful lights and the gift boxes piled up under the tree are dazzling. The huge living room has ribbons on the top, which is very festive and peaceful.

Westbrook was busy, walking back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room.

Seeing Richard standing motionless at the door, Westbrook greeted him casually, "Come in quickly, sit down wherever you want..."

Suddenly, as if he had discovered some new world, he froze on the spot, "What are you wearing?"

Richard was about to walk in and sit down when he was taken aback by Westbrook's words.

He lowered his head and felt around his new suit. It was very smooth, without any wrinkles or mess. Richard spread his hands, "What's wrong?"

"Are you here to sell insurance? I'm sorry, I have already bought all the insurance, and I have no bill for you." Westbrook laughed loudly.

Hearing Westbrook's laughter, a beautiful woman walked out of the kitchen quickly, dressed in home casual clothes, about 1.8 meters tall, holding a large glass bowl full of vegetable salad in her hand, and her stomach was slightly bulging.

The beauty laughed when she saw Richard in a neat suit, but then turned her head and yelled at Westbrook: "Russell, how can you be so rude to the guests!"

Westbrook laughed unabated, stepped forward, looked at Richard and twisted the bag in Richard's hand.

Seen by Westbrook, Richard followed into the living room with confusion, and sat on the sofa.

"Sit whatever you want, I'll help Nina, she's not very well." Westbrook went to the kitchen again, "Nina's roasted turkey is very delicious, you can enjoy it today!"

"Let me help too!" Richard felt uncomfortable sitting alone in the living room, especially in such a luxurious mansion.

"No, you can take a look around, eat something first, and call me wherever you need it." Westbrook replied in the kitchen.

Seeing the two couples showing off their affection in the kitchen shamelessly, Richard felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Also a burst of envy.

Sitting down and looking around, Richard was a little bored, so he simply took out his mobile phone to play a game and go online.

I took out my phone and saw that I had an unread message. Looking at the time when the message was sent, it should have been sent when I was shopping for clothes. No wonder I didn’t hear the notification tone.

Who will send me a message?It's not like someone else invited me to spend Christmas Eve.

The mobile phone that usually doesn't ring very much has so many people looking for me today.

When I opened it, I found that the message was sent by an unknown number, and the content was only eight words: "Merry Christmas, peace and joy!"

Is there a greeting message from the carrier in the United States?

That's too short, shouldn't it be a bit of a title, and then say something thankful by the way, for example, thank you for your support, thank you for using this kind of thing?
Such dry words are too lacking in copywriting.

Look carefully, the number is an ordinary user number, not a special short number of the communication company.

Who will send me a message?
Richard looked at the phone for a long time, and finally made a difficult decision to send a message to the other party to ask.

"who are you?"

After sending, Richard had some expectations, but he was worried that the other party just sent the wrong number. After all, he had no contact information except for the team staff and teammates.

"I'm Roxi, I got your phone number from Jason, didn't I disturb your training?"

The message was quickly replied, and Richard was a little surprised to see the name.

I did leave my contact information to Sneijder, and the matter of pestering myself for tickets may not be over for the time being.

But why did he give it to Rosie, or why Rosie asked Sneijder for his number.

"No, no training today."

It can't be because both of them have yellow skin and black hair. The last time I smiled like a crazy woman in front of me, I didn't feel that she wanted to make friends with me.

However, what Sneijder said still made Richard a little concerned, what is meant by "I have never had such a look in my eyes."

"Really? I thought players didn't have holidays."

There are indeed no holidays. For example, the Warriors and Cavaliers who are going to play the Christmas game today are almost past Christmas Eve when they go home after the game, and there is too little time to reunite with their families.

"There is no game today, and the team is also on holiday."

Why do I have to talk about these things with her? It's too embarrassing, but I can't seem to find anything to talk about.

Richard wants to grab his hair, but if he scratches it, he doesn't deserve his suit. By the way, Westbrook is mocking himself for not knowing how to wear clothes. Is this suit ugly?
"Is the team giving you a holiday? A large group of people gathered around for dinner?"

I'll go, such an embarrassing topic can be answered, Richard doesn't know how to answer it.No, this is going on endlessly, so we should change the subject.

"I'm spending the holidays at a friend's house, where are you spending the holidays? Are you shopping?"

Girls, when they are young and beautiful, it is normal to go shopping and party during the holidays.

It would not be so embarrassing for me to bring the topic up to her.

"No, we'll have dinner together in a while, and then we'll go home and study."

Also sent a smiley face.

We should refer to Ned, who call each other brother and sister, or there will be more friends from the orphanage.

It's much more lively than myself, but the matter of going home to study at night seems to be similar to myself.

Also alone.

……

"Li Cha, come to eat!" It was not until Westbrook shouted to eat that the chat between Richard and Roxi was interrupted.

"Wow! This turkey looks so good!" A roast chicken about the size of a goose was placed in the center of the dining table.

The golden skin, the aroma of various aromatherapy ingredients, and some beautiful decorations on the side of the plate make people's index fingers move.

But eating such a large chicken for three people, as well as other salads, staple foods, soups... it would be a bit of a waste.

"Bang" Westbrook opened a bottle of champagne, "Let's celebrate together today."

Nina sat beside her with a loving mother's face, her hands slightly resting on her stomach.

"Russell, congratulations!" Richard picked up his glass and toasted first.

"Thank you! I also welcome you to Oklahoma." The wine glasses of Westbrook and Richard touched together.

"For victory!"

"For friendship!"

"For world peace!" Nina also stood up and clinked the wine glass with the two of them.

The three raised their heads and took a sip.

After taking down the cup, Richard has already done his best.

Westbrook was slightly embarrassed, and poured wine for Richard again.

Uh...shouldn't the first drink be a toast?
 It will be launched tomorrow, please support us a lot.
