Chapter 110: Spend Christmas with you
Even on Christmas, Oklahoma City Airport is still crowded with people. As the largest airport in Oklahoma, the total passenger volume here exceeded 3.74 million last year, and it has become the busiest airport in the world.
A tall Asian man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap sat in a cafe in the waiting hall, and a black man wearing a sunglasses and a fashionable snake-patterned suit. These two guys thought they were well disguised, but most people in the cafe knew that they were two O8 rookies of the Thunder, Angel and Russell Westbrook.
"Do you have any special etiquette in China? Do you have to put your hands together and bow when you say hello?" Westbrook kept asking Anjie. He didn't want to be rude in front of his teammate's parents. After all, when Westbrook was shooting an advertisement outside last night, Anjie, who was trained, took good care of his visiting parents.
"You just need to shake hands with them and say hello." This is the fifth time An Jie has answered him for this question.
"Mi howl, mud howl, well, I remember." Westbrook yi nodded as she said, as if she was very proud of her "pure" accent.
At this moment, Anjie's parents dragged their suitcase and looked around and walked out of the passage. Their son's height was very conspicuous, even in the United States. Anjie also saw them and slapped a hundred-dollar bill on the table. He and Westbrook ran out of the cafe quickly.
"Shiran, here is there! I saw Xiaojie!" Anjie's mother threw down her luggage and ran towards her son. This was the first time she saw her flesh and blood since Anjie left China to Seattle.
"Howl!" Just as Anjie's mother was about to hug her son, Westbrook, who suddenly reached out to scare Anjie's mother.
"Mom, this is my teammate, Westbrook, you should have seen it on TV, the one wearing the No. 0 jersey." An Jie saw his mother's dilemma and quickly introduced him.
After hearing what his son said, Anjie's mother had some impression. There was no way, snake-patterned suit, pink trousers, crocodile leather shoes, Westbrook's "flowing" dressing style was so acceptable... If Anjie hadn't introduced it, his mother would have thought she would have been entangled by some unfair people.
"I said Yudie, why are you so rude? You have been holding your hands for a long time." It was not until An Shiran, who came up from behind, reminded An Jie's mother Wen Yudie that she had not shaken hands with others.
In China, it is almost impossible to see people wearing clothes like this on the streets. No, even in the United States, only Westbrook dares to wear clothes like this. It is normal for such a stranger to say hello to him for a few seconds.
Since Anger's Mazda Rx7 is a two-way car, Westbrook drove his Hummer as the driver of the two old people. Anger's father was so excited. As a fan, Westbrook personally drove to pick him up and drop him off, which was exciting enough.
Driving, Westbrook and Angel took the two elders to follow the famous Oklahoma City attraction Wanmu Garden. Although the scenery here has the best spring scenery, the scenery here is also unique in the snowy winter.
Anjie's mother kept taking photos, and Westbrook, who accompanied Anjie's family, waited patiently throughout the whole process without any complaints. Westbrook's family was not well off. Before going to college, he had never even walked out of the black area in southern Los Angeles. He was a good child from an ordinary family, so he also empathized and understood the actions of Anjie's family.
And he knew that if An Jie had accompanied his family, An Jie would have waited patiently.
After a brief tour of the snow-white Wanmu Garden, Westbrook and Anjie drove back to Anjie's home, where Westbrook's parents were already busy in the kitchen. Yes, Anjie invited Westbrook's family to spend Christmas together in their house.
Westbrook also has a rare opportunity to reunite with his family. Anjie calls home every day, but sometimes it will become two or three days to call.
But Westbrook will definitely call home before training or competition every day and play again at the end. He is ordinary and has no tattoos, no ear piercings, and misses his family. Perhaps it is because of these similarities that Westbrook will become friends with Anjie.
Although he was speechless, looking at the happy two families, An Jie felt that all his efforts were not in vain. After looking at the time, An Jie had to leave this happy house temporarily. Only when the two people joined in could this Christmas Eve become complete.
"Mom, dad, you guys are here to rest first, I'll pick up two people at the airport and come back soon." Without any need for Anjie to say, his parents also knew which two people they were, because Anjie took them to the Chinese restaurant for dinner during the draft. However, Westbrook was confused, and there were still people?
"Russell, I'll drive your car away. If you want to use it, drive mine." Taking the car keys, Anjie couldn't wait to walk out of the door. Katherine was finally going to meet.
The frustrated ten consecutive losses, the four consecutive wins and five consecutive wins made a comeback, which caused a sensation in China and Ames. Although he was not by his side, Catherine's heart still broke through with Angel.
When Catherine got off the plane and rushed into Angel's arms, she truly felt a sense of security. Without the barriers of distance and the provocation of tabloid reporters, Catherine could see it now.
"Hello uncle." Catherine's head was still buried in Anjie's chest, and the bearded man didn't urge him, looking at the two young people with a smile on his face. It was Christmas before the year before, and this Asian big man broke into the life of their father and daughter without warning. He didn't expect that the impact would be so great.
When Angel walked into the house with Catherine and the bearded man, Westbrook finally knew what was going on.
"Okay, you, I don't even know you have a girlfriend." Westbrook immediately "torted" Angel.
An Jie just smiled embarrassedly. Neither he nor Catherine were ready to announce their relationship to the flash. Catherine said that at least she would consider living with An Jie after graduation and to consider making this relationship public. An Jie did not object. An Jie had a little experience of how hard life was in the spotlight.
At 8:30 pm, a sumptuous Christmas dinner was piled up on Anjie's long dining table. There were all kinds of dishes on the table, and the bearded man was originally a chef. This Christmas dinner that combines Chinese and Western styles made everyone salivate.
The Christmas battle is in full swing. For both professional players, Anjie and the others are lucky to have a holiday on Christmas Eve. Even LeBron James, who just played against Anjie, had to continue to present wonderful games to the audience during such festivals.
However, today, Anjie's TV did not broadcast the Christmas war live, but played a talk show casually. Everyone else was living their own Christmas, while Anjie's family, who did not have this habit, took today as New Year's Day. In short, on this family-owned night, basketball can only stand aside for the time being.
During the meal, Angel called his mentor Divac and Ricard and his comrade-in-arms Andrew Morris. As for Mike Taylor Angel, she could only express her greetings in the form of text messages, because the poor guy had to follow Brandon Roy today on Christmas Eve to face the challenge of "German Chariot" at the Rose Garden Stadium.
Under the night sky, Oklahoma City outside the floor-to-ceiling window of Anjie's home is like a vast starry sky, with lights converging into a spectacular Milky Way. In the center of Wanmu Garden Square, the Christmas fireworks prepared by the Oklahoma City government for the citizens were also set off on time. The colorful fireworks are very gorgeous, making the night sky even more charming.
In the middle of this intensive schedule, Angel and Westbrook, two rookies in grades, also had a rare time.
Family, friends, partners... On the cold night in a foreign country, An Jie finally felt what it feels like to live a warm life. If possible, he really hopes that such a night will never pass through the long river of time...
