The person who changed his life, Shen Qin would often think of the person he often bickered with.

It's just that I didn't expect that today I would be able to stand by his side, working hard together on this world stage towards the only goal.

……

"Are you going? Go down for a walk~" Li Xiao, who shared a room with Shen Qin, beckoned him to go downstairs for a stroll together, but Shen Qin refused on the grounds of being unwell and jet lagged. He was able to come to this basketball summer camp because of He has excellent academic performance and then joined the team as an assistant.

And he's an assistant's assistant.
As for why not go shopping with the team members, it is very simple, no money.

In these years, money is indeed not everything, but it is absolutely impossible to have no money. Even if your friends around you don't dislike you because of your poverty, you can't eat and drink with a thick skin.

So Shen Qin has always been silent. Silence creates distance and distance replaces excuses. It works very well, doesn't it?
Especially at this time, he actually came from 25 years later. There, he was a silent doctor. Now facing these little kids, he certainly has no desire to communicate.

In fact, Shen Qin still wanted to go shopping in this strange country, but only if he was alone.There is no need to think of ways to reject others' polite alms, and there is no need to be out of tune with the warm atmosphere. Twenty-five years later, his memory of ever coming to the United States is already blurred, and he has no time after work, and naturally he has no opportunity. Now that he is reborn, there is no reason to give up this opportunity.

So Shen Qin went downstairs, the team leader took the players out, and tomorrow everyone will go to the basketball summer camp, today he is free, a strange place, no one knows him, he doesn't know anyone, he can be indifferent Yes, a lonely walk!

The city is beautiful and big, and the free Shen Qin is very at ease. It took him a long time to realize that all the things that could take him back to the hotel were gone, including the note that recorded the name of the hotel.

Not panic, just helpless. After all, he has been an unlucky person for as long as he can remember. He has no home, no friends, and no one is even willing to adopt him.

Yes, always~ In his memory, he once had a pair of amiable parents. He was very happy and wanted to sing, but he was also very shy at that time and didn't know how to express his joy.

Perhaps the couple felt that there was something wrong with his personality, and finally sent him back to the place where he grew up helplessly. He even remembered the pitiful look the old dean looked at him.

Oh~ There should be no memories at this time, Shen Qin began to figure out, with his English level limited to "what's your name", he wondered if he could communicate with the police uncle.Perhaps the biggest achievement after work is returning all spoken English to school?

After thinking about it, Shen Qin still gave up, and simply sat down on the side of the road, hoping to meet an enthusiastic old Chinese driver to help him find his way back to "home".After all, I heard that there are many Chinese people here, and the American ride-hailing culture is also very popular.

"hey..."

The old driver really appeared, but I don't know if he is a good driver!

Shen Qin hugged his knees and raised his head, but lowered it again in disappointment. Under the old driver's baseball cap, there was a head of beautiful long golden curly hair, and his strong body tightly stretched the T-shirt... Foreigner!
Seeing that Shen Qin ignored him and did not leave, the old driver took off his sunglasses and asked tentatively, "Chinese?"

The pronunciation was not standard, but it still surprised Shen Qin. Could it be that he is a foreigner with a good knowledge of China?

Looking up, the old driver looked at him with a smile. He had a pair of black eyes with not very deep eye sockets. Are they Asian?Mixed race?No!It's Chinese!

"need any help?"

Shen Qin immediately stood up and explained the matter.The old driver waved him boldly to let him get in the car.

"Thank you! My name is Shen Qin! Thank you!" Shen Qin jumped onto the co-pilot, and the old driver was throwing the luggage bag on the co-pilot into the back seat: "You can call me Yuri."

"Don't you have a Chinese name?" Shen Qin looked at him suspiciously, could it be a pure ABC?

"How is it possible, I am an authentic Chinese!" Yuri patted his chest: "There is no contact information, no address, and it will be very troublesome to find the police. Can you contact the home court directly?"

The topic returned to seriousness, Shen Qin said he didn't know, how could he know where the summer camp was.Decades have passed and these memories have long since been forgotten.

Yuri tilted his head: "My child, can you wait until my game is over? Then I will send you there in person? I'm afraid it's too late now. I won't worry if you are handed over to the police. You know, not everyone can So friendly. Especially to people of other skin colors..."

Of course, Shen Qin had heard of racial discrimination, but when it came to the game, he took a closer look at the man again, such a strong... rugby player?He doesn't like this particularly confrontational sport, probably because he is too thin. The so-called envy, jealousy, and hatred are like this. It seems to be the same when he was on the basketball team, because he was always struggling in the logistics because of lack of strength, and later left the team.

Of course, the most important thing is: "I'm not a child!" This is not only because he is reborn, but he is already a person who is already on his way to four, and more importantly, compared to Yuri, because Yuri looks really old , compared to him who just entered junior high school, he is not old enough to be an elder at all.

Yuri laughed, started the car and drove forward: "Don't worry, I'm not for sale!"

...There is ambiguity here... Shen Qin said, "I won't buy it." I'm not gay.

At this moment, Yuri was stunned, and it took a long time before he came back and laughed: "I am a good person."

I don't know if it's good or not, but I'm very enthusiastic. Shen Qinting thanked: "Will it affect your game?"

"No, no, no." Yuri sighed, and muttered: "I'm going to be late anyway, and it will be like that sooner or later." He scratched his head in embarrassment as he said, "But I did a good thing and saved the lost Boy, I believe the coach will understand me."

Shen Qin didn't respond to his jokes. He believed that Yuri's coach wouldn't be too angry. After all, it shouldn't be a big game. Otherwise, as an otaku sports fan, he should have an impression of celebrities who have shown their faces.

The so-called people with good grades don't have a bad memory, but this person in front of him has a strange face!so!Ahem...that's what I guessed.

During the driving, Yuri answered no less than twenty calls. From the initial "hmmm" to the later apologetic smile, Shen Qin guessed that the person on the other end of the phone must be getting more and more impatient.So will you be fined for being late?

……

Shen Qin didn't know whether he would be punished severely or not, because he was handed over to a thin red-haired man by Yuri, and the two of them separated on the left and right after entering a building.

The passage in front was a bit dim, Shen Qin refused to follow any longer!Who knows if foreign traffickers are prevalent?What if we start with our compatriots?
The thin man couldn't communicate with Shen Qin, so he pointed to his nose anxiously: "Gary!" He also pointed to the photo wall next to him, motioning Shen Qin to take a look.

The photos are carefully framed, some are very old, and some are recent. The people on them are all wearing baseball uniforms. Shen Qin suddenly realized that he is a baseball player~ This sport is not popular in China, and he has never watched it. It was televised, let alone live.

But since this is considered a formal facility, don't be afraid, so I said "sorry" to Gary

Gary showed a friendly smile, and pointed to a photo on the side. Shen Qin leaned over to take a look, yo, it turned out to be Gary smiling, and the No. 4 orange jersey was bright and dazzling.Then this should be considered the home field.

But... the current regional teams are so meticulously prepared, they even hang up pictures of young people, so it really is a small team, right?Or simply community? Borrowed courts?

Gary led the people up, climbed up the stairs, the closer they were to the exit that illuminated the sky, the louder the cheers became, Shen Qin couldn't help touching his left chest, heart!Jump very fast!

The American people seem to really love this sport~ This sounds quite lively, and it seems that this small team is quite popular.

Stepping out of that door, Shen Qin had only one thought in his mind - it's over!
Huge stadium, crowded audience, deafening shouts!Exciting!Shen Qin knew it was over for him, because he wanted to yell too, it was so fucking contagious!
When was the last time you felt this way?
It should be the time to win the World Cup lottery, right? !
Go to the TMD small team!When will the small team have a stadium with a roof that can be opened and closed for [-] people!
At this moment, he has already realized somewhat, Yuri~ No!At least Yuri's team may be a great professional team!
