143 Christmas

"Wh!"

The gorgeous video played on the big screen is a reincarnation. Zhang Chen experienced the speed of countless speed masters in it, only in an instant. They have torn the space and flew into the vast sky that has been yearning for by human beings for thousands of years.

The whole video came to an end with Iverson's last classic breakthrough, and the big screen fell into a burst of darkness again. Then, Zhang Chen in reality suddenly opened his eyes.

"Damn it, it's too sudden." Looking at the completely dark world again, Zhang Chen couldn't help cursing for a while. The system kicked him out directly, leaving him unprepared at all. He thought there was any other project.

Look at the wall clock on the wall. It's more than four o'clock in the morning, but Zhang Chen is already sleepy, because he has just slept a lot in the learning space, and now he can't close his eyes.

Turn on the lights and open the curtains. People come and go in this world. Christmas has arrived, and some people refuse to rest and are celebrating this high-profile festival.

Zhang Chen has no sense of belonging to this festival. Although in the past few years in the United States, some of his habits have been getting closer to Americans, he is not interested in the habits of Americans. He celebrates the Spring Festival every year, but Christmas may not be over.

A cool air suddenly blew in from the window. Zhang Chen looked at the calendar and found that he was almost 20 years old.

The mobile phone screen on the table flashed. This was a sign of unread short messages. Zhang Chen quickly ran over and turned on the phone and read the text message above: Congratulations, congratulations, the game is wonderful. It's an unusual Christmas.

From: Avril.

As if he suddenly found a small candlelight in a dark and cold room, Zhang Chen picked up his mobile phone and replied to the text message: Thank you for your congratulations. I'm sorry, I was just sleeping.

I didn't expect a text message reply to come soon: I thought you might not reply to me until tomorrow morning.

"Where are you?" Zhang Chen unconsciously sent these words over, and then he suddenly buried himself: Where does it matter to you?

is none of my business, but I just want to know what she is doing. Zhang Chen looked at the mobile phone text message eagerly, as if he was afraid that he would miss the text message. Unconsciously, there was a coolness in her forehead, and then she remembered that in the fallen leafy weather, a dexterous girl kissed her head gently.

"I'm back to Canada. It's really cold here."

"I think you have to wear more clothes." When saying this, Zhang Chen remembered Avril's thin body, and unconsciously blamed her words: "In fact, you don't have to go back to Canada in such cold weather... For example, you can continue to stay in Miami to enjoy the sunshine and the beach."

"But you know that some things have to be done." Zhang Chen even thought that he found her helplessness in Avril's text message: "God bless, let me see your game last night... Seriously, it's cool, as always."

"When will you come to Phoenix again to watch my game?" A soft place in Zhang Chen's heart suddenly moved and asked.

"Maybe it will be in a month... At that time, I'm going to a concert in Texas, and I have free time in the middle, and Texas is not far from Phoenix."

"Hey... That's great. I'll show you a scoring frenzy..." Zhang Chen sent him a text message excitedly.

- When it was bright, Zhang Chen knocked the last letter numbly and suddenly found a fact that he and Lavigne had sent text messages for more than four hours in a row!

Avril couldn't stand it. Zhang Chendi couldn't reply to a few text messages. She was so sleepy.

After a high-quality rest in the learning space, Zhang Chen regained his spirit after stretching, and the mobile phone on the table buzzed again.

This time it's a phone call.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Chen."

"Hello, Chen, I'm Lena. Today is Christmas. Sean wants to see you... Can you come and spend this festival with us?"

"Okay, I'm very honored..." Zhang Chen answered. He didn't have many friends in this city, at most his former classmates. He just planned to get through this Christmas by himself. Since there is such a good opportunity, let's go out for a walk.

————The sky is clear and the wind is smooth.

The sky is blue like a gem. The ground is overgrown with weeds, and occasionally some yellow grass leaves fly messy in the wind. Zhang Chen pushed Sean's wheelchair, and Lena and Nash's family followed. The invitation to Nash was a surprise. He just mentioned it casually, and the Nash family responded.

"Chen, your shooting yesterday was great! Especially the last shot... God, it's wonderful. Seriously, I really thought the Suns were finished before that ball.

Zhang Chen touched his head: "So, if you want to practice shooting, you must have a belief that you can always hit basketball. Whenever and where, you must believe in your partner and believe that it can lead you to success."

"Uncle Zhang..." A pair of cute twin sisters of Nash ran over. The two little guys were extremely beautiful in princess skirts. After all, they inherited excellent genes from their parents.

"What's the matter with you two little guys?" Zhang Chen asked.

"My father said that we can have a picnic here. The scenery here is nice." Zhang Chen looked at the scene around him, which was not far from the place where he advertised last time. There was a desolate and beautiful feeling here.

"Okay!" It's a nice day today. It's sunny and not too cold, so Zhang Chen and others choose to have a picnic this season.

A tablecloth was pulled out of the bag, Zhang Chen spread it on the ground, and then everyone put things on it one after another.

"Let's take a group photo!" Nash held up the camera and said to the busy crowd.

"Good!" Everyone turned their faces and waited for Nash to take a picture.

Seeing nothing for a long time, Zhang Chen asked, "Hey, Steve, what the hell are you doing? You should hit the shutter as soon as possible at this time, instead of grinding there all the time.

Nash smiled and said, "Chen, you deflect your head to the right... Yes, that's it. Turn it off a little more."

"Lena, you can also lean a little to the left, um, that's it!"

Zhang Chen listened to Nash's request. He thought that this guy should make the photo work better, so his head leaned to the right according to the instructions.

Lena also moved her head to the left a little, and then she saw that she was getting closer to Zhang Chen's head.

Zhang Chen obviously realized this and said to Nash, "Steve, what kind of feeling do you want to find... Why do you want me and Lena to keep getting closer?"

Nash smiled strangely and then pressed the shutter.

"This damn guy." Zhang Chen muttered and quickly passed the camera in Nash's hand. Lena also turned her head to check the photo album above.

In the latest photo, Zhang Chen was muttering on his lips. Lena looked at the camera, but she was a little confused.

The two of them were very close to each other. Zhang Chen looked at the photo and suddenly realized what Nash, the old boy, was thinking about, but he was embarrassed to say it like this, but pulled Nash aside and said, "Steve... You're really messing..."

Nash smiled and said, "Don't you think it's interesting? Tell me, Lena is very good, isn't she?"

Where is this? Zhang Chen unconsciously jumped out of Avril's mind and said, "Hey, Steve... Don't be full of boring thoughts... What I want to tell you is that Lena and I are very pure. We are just good friends... We have never had a good impression on each other..."

Nash smiled without any doubt, and the two returned to the place to eat.

After dinner, Lena hurriedly put away the rest of the things and put away all the garbage. Zhang Chen was naturally embarrassed to see her so busy, so he went up to help.

"Let me do it." Lena pulled the corner of the table cloth and said.

"We can do it together." Zhang Chen firmly came forward to help, and Lena did not refuse again. The two of them put garbage on a tablecloth and walked towards the nearest garbage collection place.

Nash looked at the distant backs of the two and came to Sean and said, "Hey, big boy, I don't think you mind going there with our family. Believe me, the scenery there will be wonderful."

Sean hesitated: "But Chen and Lena have gone there. If they don't see me, I will be anxious."

Nash pushed up his wheelchair: "No problem. Our family will disappear with you. They will understand that we played together. You know, they need private space."

Sean nodded confusedly.

Zhang Chen and the two of them came back. When they saw Sean, they all disappeared. Lena was a little strange: "Oh, where are Steve?"

Zhang Chen's heart is like a mirror. He knows what Nash is thinking, and naturally he knows the purpose of this guy doing so. He shook his head helplessly. He said awkwardly, "Let's wait for them to come back here."

The sky is blue, and in front of you is a vast field, bare strata forest, connected to the visual limit thousands of meters away. On the horizon of the sky, the endless horizons meet here.

"Chen, are you still studying in school after entering the league?" Lena suddenly asked this question.

How much time will there be after leaving school... Zhang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I will still take some time to go to class. Of course, I won't miss our exam. I have to give up something for basketball."

"Oh, that's a pity." Lena said.

"But I still often go back to the school library to check some materials." Zhang Chen added.

The two chatted with Nash in their absence, and some of them were discussed some views. Seeing that the time was approaching three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Chen estimated that Nash and the others were coming back, so he stood up and said, "It seems that we can almost go back."

"Yes..." Lena also stood up: "It's really pleasant to chat with you. You have some cultural precipitation. You are not a person who doesn't know how to understand. Maybe you can interpret the philosophy in your heart with basketball."

"I'm not so pretentious..." Zhang Chen meditated in his heart and then said, "It is said that you have invested a lot in Sean's welfare home, right?"

After talking with Lena for a while, Zhang Chen understood that this was a girl who was more inclined to Lutheranism. They were not very interested in the Pope and believed that the way for human beings to atone for the original sin should be their own cultivation and do good deeds. This is a girl who has gradually integrated good deeds into her bones.

"Yes, but it seems that my father doesn't agree with my attitude very much, so I raised more money by myself, and my father gave me a little money."

Zhang Chen has a heartfelt admiration for this girl. In this impetuous era, it is really rare to have a girl with such a surname.

"Lena, I think I can do something about these children, such as a little financial assistance."

"Really? That's great. I thank you on behalf of the children. Some excitement flashed in Lena's eyes. At this time, Nash and the others also came back. Looking at the two people who seemed to talk happily, Nash smiled strangely.
