NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 10 Magic City, I'm Back

In the T3 lounge of Chicago O'Hare Airport.

Xu Xiang feels that today is his lucky day.Not only got the promise of the draft, but also got to know the goddess of his previous life.

After some understanding, Xu Xiang learned that she ran away from home because of a quarrel with her father, but she didn't know where she was going. She flew from Milwaukee to Miami, then from Miami to Indiana, and from Indiana to Chicago. That's why Xu Xiang was able to see her falling asleep on the plane.

Xu Xiang was silent for a long time before he said, "Why don't you come to China, and I can take you to relax in China." After saying this, Xu Xiang thought to himself, this should not be regarded as abduction and trafficking of underage girls.
Mallory Edens thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Forget it. Although I want to be alone, I still don't want to run so far. I'm going to Brooklyn, New York next stop. Hey, didn't you say that you will also participate in this year's draft? I will go to see it, and don't be selected by then!"

Can you be cowardly in front of your sweetheart?I definitely can't be cowardly, "Don't worry, I definitely won't, I will definitely be selected." Xu Xiang said to Mallory confidently. "Then come on, I'll be there waiting for you." Mallory said with a pair of bright eyes blinking.

The two of them chatted like this while waiting for the time to board the plane. Although they have been human in two lives, they are not masters at picking up girls. In this era, Xu Xiang only needs to plagiarize a little bit from his previous life, and add his pretty face.After carefully selecting a few popular jokes in his mind, Xu Xiang told Mallory, making her laugh out loud.

The time on a date is always short (the author wants to pooh your face, do you call this a date?), after a while, Mallory's flight to New York began to be announced for boarding. Mallory picked up his precious bag, stood up and said goodbye to the reluctant Xu Xiang, "Come on, Xu, I will definitely support you when the time comes!"

It was the third announcement to board the plane, and Xu Xiang followed Mallory to the inspection gate. He tried to grab Mallory's little hand several times, but he didn't dare to act.Fearing that Mallory would say that he was too frivolous, just as she was about to go through the security check, he suddenly turned around and hugged Xu Xiang. Xu Xiang suddenly felt a burst of fragrance blowing over him. He couldn't tell what brand of perfume it was, but it was very refreshing.Then I heard a whisper: "Thank you, Xu, thank you for enlightening me, I am much happier now, you are the boy who hugged for the first time except my dad."Before Xu Xiang could reply, Mallory had already walked towards the inspection office with a gust of fragrant wind. Xu Xiang could only shout from afar, "You must rest more." Seeing Mallory waving his hands in the distance without looking back, Xu Xiang felt that the whole world now belonged to him.

It has been about 2 hours since Mallory boarded the plane, and Xu Xiang boarded the plane to Modu an hour and 40 minutes ago.This journey is very long, it will take about 15 hours. It is estimated that it will be tomorrow when Xu Xiang returns to Shanghai.The meal on the plane was terrible, but Xu Xiang couldn't help being hungry, so Xu Xiang swallowed 2 drinks and 3 big hamburgers.In an instant, I felt alive again.In the past few days in the United States, there is not a single meal that is full. I always drink some water and eat some bread.After hiccupping, Xu Xiang said secretly, "It feels so good to be full." The people next to Xu Xiang all looked like they had seen a ghost. The food on the plane was not good, so everyone just ate a few bites, but Xu Xiang actually ate so much, which has refreshed their world view.Even their flight attendants thought their chef had changed?A flight attendant said that she has never seen such food on a plane after working as a flight attendant for so many years.

After eating, Xu Xiang had a good night's sleep. It was already 5 o'clock in the morning the next day when he started to be reminded that the plane was about to land.It took 14 hours and 45 minutes to fly.Xu Xiang stretched his waist, adjusted his body, and slowly walked out of the plane amidst the sound of thanks on the plane broadcast.

Looking at the huge Pudong Airport, Xu Xiang shouted in his heart, "Modu, I'm back!"

After leaving the airport, Xu Xiang hailed a car and went straight to his kennel.Soon, after paying the fare, Xu Xiang looked at the apartment where he had lived for three years, feeling deeply moved.Yes, Xu Xiang is going to move, no, not moving, but going back to his hometown directly.

Anyway, it's only a few days away, and it's enough to go directly from my hometown to the airport during the draft, and I won't stop in the middle.Today is already June 6rd, and Xu Xiang has to set off on the morning of June 23th at most, because the draft will start on the 6th.The most valuable thing is an air conditioner. This air conditioner was bought by Xu Xiang in the second year. This thing is not easy to carry or move, so he directly found the landlord and sold it to him for 25 yuan.The rest are some clothes and so on. After Xu Xiang packed his bag, he took a last look at the place where he had lived for three years, and he didn't miss it, because the road ahead had just begun, and this place was just a small place to stay.

It only takes a few hours from Shanghai to his hometown, and he can just take a bus. Xu Xiang continued to take a taxi to the bus station. After buying a ticket, he had a meal at the breakfast shop at the station.Then I got on the bus and went home. When Xu got off the bus, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon on June 6. While on the bus, Xu Xiang called his family. Xu Xiang's father said he would come to the station to pick him up, but Xu Xiang stopped him. There was nothing to pick him up.

I took a taxi, and it cost 80 yuan when I got home. Xu Xiang didn’t bother to negotiate the price. In his hometown, taxis are not allowed to use the meter, so you have to negotiate the price directly, otherwise the money from the meter will scare you.Xu Xiang knew all the rules and regulations here, so he didn't bargain with him, and just let him drive away.I was speechless all the way. The development of my hometown in the past few years is also very good. Although it is still at the bottom of the province, with the help of the surrounding brothers and cities, I have learned from the experience. The development of the past few years is obvious to all.Xu Xiang looked at the tall buildings on both sides of the road, wondering what he was thinking.

Soon, I arrived home. Xu Xiang's home is in the countryside, and the cement road has only been paved in the past few years. Otherwise, it would be a torture to go out on a rainy day.Fortunately, the car stopped slowly at the door of Xu Xiang’s house. Xu Xiang’s parents were already waiting at the door. Seeing that their son who hadn’t returned for several years grew taller and thinner, the old couple couldn’t speak. They just held Xu Xiang’s hand. Xu Xiang hurriedly comforted them and told them that he had been doing well for the past few years and had been playing. My mother can speak a few professional terms in the basketball world.Poor parents in the world.

That night, Xu Xiang's parents cooked a table of delicious dishes, all of which were Xu Xiang's favorites. After dinner, Xu Xiang's father took Xu Xiang to talk. After learning that his son was going to participate in the NBA draft, he didn't show much expression. He just patted Xu Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Son, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Of course it's good if you get selected, and it's okay if you don't get selected."

This night was the most peaceful night Xu Xiang slept in in recent years.

　Thanks for the 9 recommendation tickets from Jin Yiwei, a fellow acquaintance, thank you very much!
