257 A trip to Hawaii
"OH..." Avril opened Zhang Chen's hand and said happily, "In fact, I'm already planning this matter... I've already bought the ticket, and we should almost set out. You know, it's a good thing to go out for a walk."
Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Well, okay... Thank you."
Avril Lavigne stood up and said, "It doesn't matter. Speaking of which, you can't believe it. I've been learning to cook recently, and I've also learned several recipes from your country... It's time for me to show my stunts."
Zhang Chen quickly stood up and said, "No, I can invite you to eat outside."
Lavigne said, "The main thing is to show you my stunts."
"Would you like me to help you?"
"Just sit there... Don't you believe me?" Avril's eyes stared at her. Zhang Chen was shocked and quickly said that he believed it. Avril walked into the kitchen with satisfaction. After a moment, she remembered all kinds of kitchen utensils colliding.
Zhang Chen browsed the web outside and found that many people in the NBA column were describing the whereor of D'Antoni, and also predicted the future of the Suns. At the same time, they also began to predict Zhang Chen's where to go. After all, Zhang Chen's contract with the Suns is only one year. At the end of this season, he has jumped out of the contract year. He can almost start to think about his own things. He can choose to stay in Phoenix or take over the olive branch handed over by other teams and leave Phoenix to find new development. Direction.
When Zhang Chen saw that most people thought he was going to leave, he was a little unregarded. To be honest, when D'Antoni left, although the Suns had many of his ties, as well as his good friends Xiao Si and Nash, his unreserved love for the Suns to the depths' bones also dissipated. Many, he feels a little depressed now. He doesn't think about that matter, but just wants to let nature take its course.
Avril's dish was finally placed in front of Zhang Chen more than an hour later. Zhang Chen tasted it carefully, and then took a cup and almost spit it out.
Avril Lavigne looked at Zhang Chen's expression and said, "Chen, how's it going?"
"Cough... delicious..." The blue veins on Zhang Chen's forehead suddenly appeared, swallowed the bite of the vegetable with difficulty, and then changed a variety. He still felt that his spine stood up all of a sudden, and he was dying. Zhang Chen suddenly felt that it seemed meaningless to live, but looking at Avril's eyes mixed with warning and expectation, he had to swallow his tears with the meal and began to look for an excuse for eating less today.
"Is it delicious?" Avril smiled like an angel.
"Delicious, delicious..." The blue veins on Zhang Chen's forehead were more prominent. At this time, Zhang Chen's mobile phone suddenly rang. Suddenly, Zhang Chen had a tearful impulse - heaven and earth, which angel is looking for me at this time? It's just a gift in the snow! Zhang Chen quickly apologized to Avril. He turned on the phone and saw that it was De Anthony. Zhang Chen quickly connected and said, "Hey... boss, you're so cute, really!"
D'Antoni was a little overwhelmed by this brainless words: "Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you killed by that?"
Zhang Chen burst into tears again: "It's much worse than that! ... By the way, boss, what's the matter with you calling?"
"Oh, that's it... I'm in New York now. I heard from Steve that you have also come to New York, so I want to invite you out for a cup of coffee. If it doesn't disturb you, we can talk about life and fate together."
Zhang Chen nodded hurriedly: "Oh... If you have time, I also want to discuss with you whether there is an end to the universe..." Then he made an appointment with D'Anthony, and then said sorry to Avril and ran out. Avril looked at Zhang Chen's back and said, "Honey, I'll leave these dishes for you. Yes!"
Zhang Chen was black in front of him. After falling awkwardly, he stumbled forward and ran forward. Avril looked at Zhang Chen's distant back, which was angry and funny. She picked up the food on the table and put them into garbage bags to turn them into permanent garbage.
————When he came to the place where he made an appointment with D'Antoni, the old man suddenly suddenly changed his mind and said that he was going to see the sea, so Zhang Chen had to come to the seaside again. From afar, he saw D'Anthony leaning against the railing, and the strong wind blew his hair. At this moment, the old man was like a poet, and the night came. After that, the lights were shattered by the sea surface, and some reflective elements loomed on D'Anthony's head, which really made the old man unclear.
"Hey, boss, when did you change your job to 007? Are you going to have the surname Bond? Let's change our joint location twice. Zhang Chen came to De Anthony's side, lay on the railing and looked at the sparkling sea, and said carelessly.
Zhang Chen found that this guy was still holding a cigarette in his mouth, so he said, "Sorry, I'm wrong. So you are going to become an artist or poet?"
D'Anthony punched him. He wanted to laugh but didn't laugh. He said, "New York is so beautiful."
"It's quite beautiful." Through the limit of the retina, the city is extremely brilliant in the bright lights. The lights are shining, the road is full of people, and the years are flying. All kinds of lights are intertwined into the most perfect dream scene. The intoxicated New York City is as attractive as a ripe apple.
De Anthony smiled and said, "Yes, it's really beautiful... Maybe I should thank them for letting me leave that city and come to this dreamy place?" After saying that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Chen and exhaled a puff of smoke fiercely, but he didn't know how to smoke, so he pretended to be a beautiful smoke ring not only nondescript, but also choked him.
Zhang Chen knew what he wanted to say, so he also climbed up the railing and put his body close to the damp smell of the sea blown by the night wind. They were like dew elves jumping into his arms. The wind blew away his not-long hair, and then Zhang Chen said, "Maybe it's fate... To be honest, you can't resist some things. Although Phoenix is a good place and we have memories there, you can't deny that fate will always exchange more for you while losing something."
"Yes, more things... Oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot that your major is philosophy..."
Zhang Chen waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with philosophy, it's just some unclear feelings... When I was expelled from the school team, I also thought it was the time I lost the most. I lost basketball, I lost my dream, I lost everything... But God soon made me broader."
"Is it broader?" D'Antoni looked at the sea that was gradually undulating in the night wind, and looked at the sea stretching into the endless distance. He said, "But maybe you can't feel that feeling. For four years, we have been a high-level team in the league. However, in the end, their (management) attitude seemed to be saying that they didn't win. Champion, we have nothing. No matter how much you do, you want to get all this back together. In fact, nothing can go back. Seriously, I like that team, those flying young people, Steve's beautiful shooting, and Amarley's excellent physical fitness, but I know that since I stepped on the plane, all this has gone back... Um..." De Anthony gently picked up a fallen leaf flying in the wind: "It's like These winds are the same. If you leave, you will really leave."
"Before I took the trial, you once told me that this is a deal, and the whole NBA is piled up with beautiful knives... So maybe we should have understood long ago that we are just a pile of moving dollars... It shouldn't be so sad."
"Well, it's like this..." D'Antoni said what he had been suppressing for a long time and felt much more comfortable: "I almost forgot the main purpose of coming here today... Damn it."
Zhang Chen said, "Actually, I have guessed a little."
D'Antoni said, "Well... I know you will understand, so do you already have the answer?"
Looking at the thicker and thicker night and the delicate darkness, Zhang Chen suddenly took the leaf in D'Anthony's hand and let it fly into the wind. Finally, the leaf disappeared into the vast twilight. Zhang Chen said, "Isn't it good to fly in the wind like this leaf? Maybe I can really go with the flow, and in our words, let nature take its course.
D'Antoni nodded: "I see... You want to see which side of the quotation is higher."
"Well, that's right. In our words, I want to pay back at a high price... Ha ha, I don't have a lot of choices."
D'Anthony didn't look at Zhang Chen, but his words were clearly saying to Zhang Chen: "Anyway, Chen, I have something to tell you... In the Knicks tactical system, there must be a player with absolute attack. He needs to put the team on his shoulders at the critical moment, and I will make him A unique part of tactics... Now he may only be able to attack, but I believe that one day he will become the best defensive player in the league - well, I admit, I really realized the damn defensive energy from my last defeat.
Zhang Chen looked at D'Antoni with a little touch, but quickly withdrew his eyes. His eyebrows were slightly lowered and he said, "Well, I'll think about it. To be honest, I never want others to be my leader..."
————It was past nine o'clock when she returned to Avril's room. Zhang Chen was ready to eat the food cooked by Avril with a sad face, but he didn't expect that Avril had already dumped the dish. Zhang Chen realized that Avril was just joking. It's not that she didn't know that. The food is terrible.
After the two talked about the specifics of the trip for a while, Zhang Chen returned to the hotel he found nearby. When he entered the learning space at night, his ball control skills were better.
The next day, Zhang Chen and Avril Lavigne finally embarked on a planned journey many times. The plane rumbled away with two people. They were going to the warm beach. The plane took them to the blue sky and went to the place where they had dreamed for a long time.
Hawaii is the pearl of the Pacific Ocean. When Zhang Chen did not fully land on the plane, he saw the blue sea surrounded by several islands as warm as eyes. After the plane landed, the island really appeared in front of Zhang Chen and others. The sea is like a blue scroll spread all over the world. Although it was extremely hot when they got off the plane, Zhang Chen and others were still prepared for a long time, but they were not too surprised.
The two found a hotel and went to the beach. The scenery on the beach is pleasant. There are already tourists from all over the world. Tourism accounts for a large proportion of Hawaii's economic composition. Every year, many people come here for sightseeing, including many couples like Zhang Chen.
There are many stars who come here for vacation. If you go to Hawaii, you may pass by your idol, so some people here recognize Avril, but they don't come to disturb you. However, when a few people with intention saw Zhang Chen and Lavigne together, they immediately felt that they had found the breaking point, so their cameras began to be used for secret photography.
Two people held up the tent on the beach, and then Avrilles walked in and zipped up. A moment later, she came out of it in a three-point swimsuit. Her beautiful figure was perfectly presented in front of Zhang Chen. While feeling that her nostrils were a little hot, Zhang Chen blocked Avril in the tent and didn't let her Come out.
Lavigne said angrily, "Hey, Chen, can you tell me what you want to do? Why don't you let me go out?"
Zhang Chen's face was a little feverish: "I can't let those perverts see your thighs, otherwise I will suffer too much."
When Lavigne heard that this should be an unimaginable value in her country, she laughed unconsciously: "OH... I have to say that Chen, you are so cute... But I still hope you get out of the way as soon as possible... Don't you only wear a pair of beach pants? You can't ask me with two criteria.
Zhang Chen became angry: "I'm different from you!"
Lavigne smiled and pinched Zhang Chen's face: "Well... I promise to bury my body in the earth after going out, so that you, a petty guy, will feel bad." Zhang Chen reluctantly agreed. Avril buried herself in the sand like this. There were too many people doing this here, but it was nothing.
On this day, the two of them looked at the blue sea, the blue sky, the flying white clouds, the breeze blowing, and the waves gently patted the beach. All this was like a bright dream.
Zhang Chen was still forced by Avril and took a few non-mainstream photos with her. Under Avril's coercion, Zhang Chen had to puff up his cheeks. The day passed quickly.
In the evening, the two of them ate some seafood nearby, which was quite refreshing, but it made them unconsciously recall what happened in Miami. Both of them were a little funny.
"I don't know if I can eat another pearl." Avril Lavigne took an oyster and said with a smile.
"Oh, the pearls should not be eaten... But I think you may have to eat an oyster!"
Lavigne snorted, and then began to enjoy her delicious food. The sea breeze blew her hair on her temples, and there were still a little oil stains on the corners of her mouth. Zhang Chen took a tissue and handed it over. Looking at her delicate face, she really felt that all this was like a dream.
At night, they returned to the hotel they had already found, but the beach did not stop until the evening. The heat wave was rolling, and even the air conditioner did not help. Zhang Chen was so hot that he came to Avril's room and said, "Honey, I have a good suggestion."
"Let's go, let's go..."
"Won't you ask what my proposal is?"
"I've guessed..." Avril is wearing a light yellow kneeless skirt, which looks bright and beautiful, but has a pair of quite casual beach slippers on her feet. It seems that she is ready to go out.
"Uh..." Zhang Chen saw that Avril had guessed it, so he took her hand and went out. Avril's palms were very soft, and there was a faint warm feeling. Zhang Chen held it in his hand and felt as soft as boneless. Avril was active. It didn't take long for her to break free her palm from Zhang Chen's hand and look for it at the seaside. Some beautiful traces, and at the same time, she occasionally kicked a stone on the ground restlessly. She giggled when the stone accidentally flew to a fat man's neck, and then waited until the fat man looked for the culprit everywhere.
Zhang Chen scratched her nose and looked at her angrily. Avril spit out her tongue and didn't say anything.
Although it has been at night for a long time, this beach has no rest at all. Many people stay here to enjoy the cool breeze at night and the feeling of the sea gently touching the beach. The light has a looming feeling here, as if it has been separated from the world. Only the laughter of those people on the beach occasionally hears that gives people a feeling of still living in the world.
"There are a lot of people here..." Zhang Chen frowned, pointed to the beach over there and said, "Let's go there!" There should be no one over there.
The two left the place where the lights occasionally flashed and walked to the other side. Suddenly, there were occasional heavy gasps and occasional low moans came into their ears. Suddenly, Zhang Chen felt a little uncomfortable and quickly walked forward for a while.
It was all the way to the place where there seemed to be no one else. Zhang Chen and Avril sat on the edge of the beach. The sea was still tirelessly hitting the beach, and they felt particularly crisp in their ears.
Starry in the sky, Zhang Chen looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "I haven't seen such a clear night sky for a long time."
Lavigne said, "Long time? What do you mean?"
Zhang Chen smiled and said, "When I was a child, I stayed at my grandmother's house for more than a year. There was a beautiful name in that place called the South of Colorful Clouds. When I was a child, there were a lot of stars there, but I hardly went back as soon as I left... It has been many years..."
Lavigne leaned on Zhang Chendi's shoulder and suddenly kissed him gently on the neck...
