Chapter 13 A Chance Encounter at a Nightclub
On the 30th.
Sunset Bar in Los Angeles.
As one of the most famous nightclubs in Los Angeles, it hosts some crazy themed shows every weekend.
For example, today, the age requirement is 21 years old, and the ticket price is $100.
Sitting in the transparent room on the second floor, Wang Xiucheng looked down at the crowd dancing to upbeat music and took a sip of beer with a touch of helplessness.
"No wonder it's a notorious den of extravagance."
Wang Xiucheng's drinks alone cost several thousand dollars. If Jalen Green hadn't paid for it today, he wouldn't have dared to spend so much as a two-way contract player.
The suggestion to go to the nightclub today came from Jalen Green. As the team's second overall pick this year, the cornerstone of the team in the eyes of fans, and a future "legend," his suggestion of "team building" naturally drew everyone's support.
So apart from a few veterans like Gordon, almost all the players who traveled with the team came.
"No wonder all players want to play in cities like Los Angeles and New York."
"I can't believe it," said Garuba, who was standing opposite him, with a hint of envy.
Wang Xiucheng smiled.
That's true. Although Houston is known as the fourth largest city in the United States, it's still far behind Los Angeles.
"I'm going to the restroom." Wang Xiucheng finished the last drop of wine in the bottle, then got up and left his seat.
"Americans are just so open-minded."
Wang Xiucheng entered the restroom and tried to open several doors, but none of them opened. He could hear a woman's voice coming from one of them.
If Wang Xiucheng hadn't specifically checked, he would have seriously doubted whether he had gone to the wrong place.
Wang Xiucheng could only relieve himself at the outdoor toilet, and coincidentally, a black man was also using the toilet next to him.
Upon seeing Wang Xiucheng approach, the muscular black man brandished his weapon with a show of pride.
But when he saw Wang Xiucheng's weapon, Blackie turned around to block it, quickly ended the fight, and left the bathroom.
Wang Xiucheng was very satisfied with the victory in this silent battle.
Each increase in system attributes also brings additional benefits to Wang Xiucheng in other areas.
For example... the palm of your hand.
It's impossible for someone's height and wingspan to increase while their hand size remains unchanged; that would be considered a deformity.
After the battle was over, Wang Xiucheng left the restroom.
As soon as he turned into the corridor, Wang Xiucheng bumped into someone.
The tall and strong Wang Xiucheng was unharmed, but the other person had been knocked to the ground.
The brief contact made Wang Xiucheng realize that the other person was a woman, so he didn't get angry. Instead, he squatted down and held her shoulders.
Before Wang Xiucheng could speak, the other party started shouting in a somewhat tantrum, "Why did you leave me? Why did you cheat on me? Am I not pretty?"
The woman wore a black baseball cap, and her long hair cascaded down her shoulders. Wang Xiucheng felt her skin, which was as white as snow and so smooth and delicate that he didn't want to leave.
Her eyes, like deep lake water, appeared even more captivating under the influence of alcohol.
She reeked of alcohol, and her originally delicate face now had a touch of allure.
To Wang Xiucheng's surprise, the woman spoke Mandarin.
Even though the corridor wasn't very bright, Wang Xiucheng still recognized the other person.
"Where's your friend? Let me take you home."
Wang Xiucheng was also speaking in Chinese, and at the same time, he exerted force on his hands, trying to help the other person up.
But the next moment, the woman looked up at Wang Xiucheng's face, her eyes somewhat glazed: "Who are you? How can you be so handsome? Are you my prince?"
"Can you get up? I'll take you back."
People come and go here, and Wang Xiucheng couldn't possibly leave her here alone, especially since she was Chinese.
But the next moment, he found his neck being wrapped around, and then the woman, with some unknown strength, pulled Wang Xiucheng's face directly in front of her and kissed him.
Your breath reeks of alcohol!
There was none of the romance you see in movies; all you got was the intoxicating taste of alcohol mixed with saliva.
Wang Xiucheng wanted to pull away, but the other person bit his lip with considerable force...
"Honey..."
Fortunately, tense shouts rang out in the corridor at that moment.
Wang Xiucheng was saved. The sound seemed to bring the woman to her senses. She immediately released Wang Xiucheng and then, leaning against the wall, shakily stood up.
"Mimi, are you alright?" A woman ran over from a distance and helped the drunk woman up.
"She's fine, she's probably just had too much to drink. Please keep an eye on her, this is the United States."
Wang Xiucheng spoke somewhat seriously in Chinese, then touched his lips and found they were indeed cracked.
This crazy woman.
"I'm sorry, we went to the restroom together, but she came out first." The woman looked apologetic, her voice tinged with apology and caution, and then she asked tentatively, "You know who she is, right?"
Wang Xiucheng nodded, understanding what the other party meant, and then said proactively, "I won't say anything, don't worry."
"Thank you," the woman said, then helped the drunk woman away with a sigh of relief.
Licking the wound on his lips with his tongue, Wang Xiucheng watched the other person enter a room before returning to his own.
……
10 month 31 day.
Los Angeles.
The Staples Center was packed to capacity today.
Although the Lakers' home game against the Rockets hasn't started yet, fans have already entered the arena early.
This surprised Wang Xiucheng somewhat.
When the Houston Rockets play, the arena needs to be filled by the third quarter to be full.
This is certainly related to the slow pace of life in Houston, but the limited number of parking spaces in Houston and the difficulty in finding parking are also important reasons.
Many fans need to park their cars in nearby communities.
By the time they returned, the first quarter had already ended.
Some families who bring their children will also browse the souvenir shops, buy some jerseys or other items, or simply grab a bite to eat.
So many people simply go into the stadium's playing area during the second half.
"As expected of Los Angeles."
This word has been used many times by Christopher and Garuba in the past two days.
Wang Xiucheng agreed, dribbling the ball while glancing at the people sitting in the first row in the distance.
Black Widow Scarlett Johansson was sitting in the middle with her friends, and not far from her were James's wife and two sons.
Kendall Jenner, a member of the NBA's best defensive family, and another socialite sat in the front row on the side, attracting many fans to take photos.
Leonardo DiCaprio is chatting with a black rapper.
These are only the people Wang Xiucheng knows; there are many more he doesn't know.
Today's live broadcast featured TNT fielding the golden duo of O'Neal and Barkley, who had both played for two different teams.
This is also the Houston Rockets' first full-meter live broadcast of the season.
Of course, this is all because of the Lakers; otherwise, who would watch a team that's tanking?
It's not just Americans who are paying attention to this game; Chinese fans are even more interested.
Both teams have a large fan base in China, and with Tencent Sports' deliberate promotion of Wang Xiucheng these days, many people are full of expectations.
Meng Chao, holding an ESPN-branded microphone, is making his final connection with the Chinese live broadcast room.
"Today, James, Davis, and Westbrook will all start, while Anthony, Jordan, and Reeves will come off the bench. It can be said that apart from Howard, most of the Lakers players are available to play."
Wearing a white dress, Meng Chao appeared poised and elegant today. As she spoke, her lips curved slightly upward, revealing a gentle smile that conveyed warmth and friendliness.
"Now that the normal procedures are complete, we're moving on to what we're most concerned about," said Duan Ran, the host of the Penguin Live broadcast.
"Will Wang Xiucheng play today? How long will he play?" Yang Yi asked directly.
After hearing the question, Meng Chao nodded. "I also asked this question directly in the pre-match interview. Silas' answer was very official. He said that Wang Xiucheng would play when the team needed him."
