Chapter 17 The Interrupted Date

No one announced the start of the party, to be precise from the moment Lin Mingyang held the championship trophy aloft, Moss Middle School began its grand revelry. After a brief celebration, the location of the assembly was shifted from the gymnasium to the auditorium.

Head Coach Jefferson did something at this time that made the players grateful. He dragged the Foxes out, one by one, surrounded by excited fans, and in the face of the crowd's displeasure, he gave the reason that these guys couldn't go to a fabulous party in a sweaty mess.

He drove the players into the locker room one by one, and although his heart was already full of joy, he tried his best to make a calm gesture when facing the campus reporter's interview. "With the championship trophy, we have filled a gap in the history of school honors in the same kind of competition, but the championship means more than that, as a cherished honor, it will encourage us to continue to move forward. If we have had such a glorious present, why shouldn't we have an even more glorious future?"

In the shower room, the Fire Foxes players are eagerly discussing the natural not Jefferson's "lofty words", the next party is the most concerned about the topic, until they finished showering, dressed, ready to gather "to kill" the auditorium, only to find that the team seems to be missing someone. When they had finished showering and dressing, they were ready to gather and "kill" the auditorium, and then they realized that there seemed to be a person missing from the team, a very important person.

Their captain, Lin Mingyang, the biggest contributor on the basketball court today, had actually disappeared!

"Has anyone seen the captain?" This title was now becoming more and more smooth coming out of Thomas' mouth, at first he still had the heart to fight with Lin Ming Yang for the position of the team's leader, but now he realized that this was actually quite good.

"Yeah, where did the leader go?" The other players also looked at each other.

"We don't have to wait!" Just as everyone was confused over this matter, the first small forward Kent, who had finished his shower but was still holding a hairdryer and fiddling with his new hairstyle in the mirror at this time, said without any haste, "He can't go to today's party, and he asked me to pass on the message to all of you!"

"Can't go!" Thomas huffed, pointing at Kent's idiot, "Don't you realize that today's party was specially prepared for us, how can the head man not go to such an important party? You but should have stopped him!"

"What would you have should have done in his place if there was an even more fabulous party waiting for him?" Kent asked in a no-nonsense manner.

"You mean the head honcho snuck out on a date!" Center Evan finally snapped out of it, "Which girl from school?"

"How should I know?" Kent finally got his new haircut, "He got a text message and left in a hurry."

"Then how do you know he was going on a date then?" Thomas hit the nail on the head this time with his question, which was what the others wanted to know.

"Other than a date, have any of you ever seen anyone who had to dress up beforehand, even spraying a little perfume on their clothes?"

Kent had guessed most of what was going on correctly, and had his curiosity been that much stronger at the time, instead of spending his time on that damned haircut of his, he might have been able to discover an amazing secret. Just a few minutes ago, a very passionate scene had just played out in the hallway outside the locker room, and the man and woman in question happened to be their leader, along with Megan Fox, who had made a big splash at the cheerleading show this evening.

In the corridor has been waiting for a while Megan as soon as they met to embrace the neck of Lin Mingyang, and then gave him a soulful passionate kiss, fragrant scenes lasted a full three minutes, until both sides feel a little suffocated, the two hot body which is reluctant to part. Megan told Lin Mingyang that this was a reward for the champion, but when Lin Mingyang asked to hold hands her almost active cooperation immediately betrayed the true thoughts of her heart.

The entire school was immersed in the joy of victory, and with the lights and colors in the auditorium and the bustle of the crowd, no one would have noticed the extra couple strolling hand-in-hand on the campus's tree-lined path. Holding Megan's small hand, Lin Mingyang had a feeling that it was like a dream. The sentiment between the two had quietly grown along with an email in countless late nights. With that glance back on the field, that flavorful kiss in the corridor, the seed of love broke ground and sprouted in the ignorant hearts of the two young people.

Lin Mingyang, who had never even held a girl's hand in his previous life, was holding hands with a girl who would make the world go crazy in the future as a sexy goddess, and this great sense of happiness filled Lin Mingyang's heart, making him so excited that he had a feeling of tears in his eyes.

Lin Mingyang wished that this boulevard under his feet had no end, so that he could hold the hand of the girl beside him and keep walking. But this proved to be his unrealistic romantic thoughts, the boulevard had already come to an end, and in front of it was the school gate of Moss Middle School.

"You're really not going back?" Megan looked back in the direction of the auditorium, the grand orgy already far behind them.

"As long as Evan and the others are over there!" Lin Mingyang bristled with concern.

"Then where are we going next?" Megan glanced towards the school entrance with some hesitation, "I don't want to go home so early!"

"Let's go to the park and see that little wildcat of yours?"

"It's not there anymore!" Megan's mood visibly dropped at the mention.

Lin Mingyang, who was dating a girl for the first time, appeared inexperienced, and just as he was at a loss for words and didn't know how to comfort the other party, the cell phone in his pants pocket suddenly rang.

"Mr. Ortega?" If it wasn't for this call, Lin Ming Yang almost forgot that there was a Kenny Ortega in the school at this time.

"Felix, I'm not interrupting your date, am I?" Kenny Ortega deliberately lowered his voice on the other end of the phone.

"How did you know?" Lin Mingyang's first feeling was that they were being spied on, and he held the phone in his hand as he vigilantly looked towards towards the surroundings, except for a dim streetlight where the two were standing, the rest of the place was pitch black.

Megan wondered why he made such a gesture when he answered the phone, just as she wanted to open her mouth to ask, she saw Lin Mingyang make a "shh" gesture towards her, signaling her to keep quiet.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm a director and don't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy like the paparazzi, to be precise I just happened to see you staying with another girl!" As soon as Kenny Ortega's words fell, the headlights of a car suddenly flashed at the entrance of the tunnel hidden in the darkness, "So you should be able to see me!"

"Yes, I see you!" Looking in the direction of the flashing lights, Lin Ming Yang finally recognized the shape of the car in the pitch blackness, it was the same blue Buick that Kenny Ortega had driven to the gas station during the holidays.

At the end of the game, Kenny Ortega wanted to go find Lin Ming Yang, but seeing that the championship winner was being surrounded by a large group of enthusiastic fans, he finally dismissed the idea of squeezing in.

After that, Kenny Ortega went to the school auditorium again, but Lin Mingyang wasn't with the rest of the Firefoxes. Both times were unsuccessful, which made Kenny Ortega feel that it might not really be the right time to ask Lin Mingyang to meet him.

He returned to his car and was just about to start it when a pair of men and women holding hands suddenly walked out on the boulevard in front of him, and although he couldn't see them that well in the darkness, the boy's back gave Kenny Ortega a very familiar feeling. By the time the two walked under the streetlight, Kenny Ortega was finally sure that it was the Lin Mingyang he had been looking for.

What surprised Kenny Ortega even more was that the girl holding hands with Lin Ming Yang was the same girl who led the cheerleading squad today. The two people he wanted to see the most at the moment were actually encountered by him at the same time, and I have to say what a marvelous thing it was.

Kenny Ortega who came out of the darkness startled Megan, she patted her chest, "Felix, is this the same reality that was on the phone with?"

His own first date with Megan was stirred up by this Kenny Ortega guy, so it goes without saying that Lin Ming Yang definitely had a problem in his heart. But on second thought, he felt that this guy came at the right time, he was at his wits' end over Megan's sudden low mood, and Kenny Ortega's appearance suddenly reminded him of a very important thing.

Just as Lin Mingyang was hesitating on how to introduce the other person to Megan, Kenny Ortega had already walked up to the two of them.

"Felix, won't you introduce me to your friend?" Kenny Ortega had already recognized Megan a long time ago, and he asked this precisely to convince the other party that this was an absolute chance encounter and not an elaborate arrangement of his own!

"Fox, this is Mr. Kenny Ortega, he's a Hollywood director!"

From the moment Lin Ming Yang answered the phone, Megan Fox's heart had been filled with doubts of one kind or another, and now another Hollywood director had popped up, wait, the other party was a Hollywood director?

The smart Megan quickly understood Lin Ming Yang's intentions, a sweet smile appeared on her face, "Hello, my name is Megan Fox, I'm Felix's classmate."

Regarding the relationship between Lin Ming Yang and Megan Fox, Kenny Ott naturally played it safe, "I've rarely heard Felix mention you before!"

"It's just how long we've known each other, and you're talking about the past!" Lin Ming Yang muttered with dissatisfaction in his heart, Megan who was standing by the side did not misunderstand, "I took a break from my studies to go to Hollywood some time ago, and I just recently came back from the theater."

This beautiful answer from Megan revealed too much information to Kenny Ortega, "You're still an actor?" He asked curiously, for once his surprise was heartfelt.

"I took dance lessons at the age of six, I started modeling when I was thirteen, and the role I was recently cast in was an attempt to move in the direction of acting!" Megan said in a subtle way so as not to give the other man the impression that she was deliberately showing off.

"How does it feel to be an actor?"

"Although I don't have many opportunities to appear in front of the camera because of my role, I feel that acting is completely different from walking down the runway!" This was Megan's first acting experience, but she didn't realize that she had just scratched Kenny Ortega's "itch" with her unintentional action.

Along with the advent of the commercial movie era, in order to cater to the audience's ever-increasing sensory needs, Hollywood in addition to the movie stunts continue to push the boundaries of innovation, the director in the choice of actresses are also more and more inclined to use those in the runway light of the eye-catching fashion models, their outstanding body and beautiful face has become a major selling point of the commercial movie.

However, the excessive pursuit of visual effects ultimately led to the vast majority of commercial blockbusters with simple plots, and female protagonists are often only able to serve as beautiful "vases" in the movie. On the one hand, objective factors do limit the role of actresses to play, but on the other hand, many people also subjectively believe that as long as the looks of sexy and beautiful, you can be an actor, which is a serious misunderstanding in the view of Kenny Ortega.

"It's good that you are able to recognize this, in Hollywood a pretty face can give you momentary success but not a lifetime of success, big stars like Julia Roberts have gone through a long period of hard work before transitioning from being a model to becoming a great actress. I can see that you have good conditions, but to become a real actor, you still have a long way to go!" Kenny Ortega said in a serious tone.

"I think opportunities are also important for an actor!" Lin Mingyang suddenly interjected from the side.

Kenny Ortega nodded his head, and he seemed to consider for a moment before he solemnly asked, "You've studied dance, but can you sing?"

"Sing?" Megan froze, she didn't understand, did an actor have to be able to sing in Kenny Ortega's eyes?

Lin Ming Yang was quite clear why Kenny Ortega would ask this, the start of the filming of Song and Dance Youth was just around the corner, Kenny Ortega was busy casting during this period of time, he had just casually mentioned it with a try-hard attitude, and Kenny Ortega's attitude immediately changed subtly, he didn't believe that The only reasonable explanation is that Kenny Ortega had already "set his sights" on Megan before this.

"Whether you can sing well or not is another matter, of course, but you can't at least be a pentatonic!" After Kenny Ortega finished speaking, he didn't forget to squeeze his eyes at Lin Ming Yang, his expression clearly saying that you understand what I mean.

"I've studied vocal music for a while before!" Megan said with some reluctance, she had to admit that it wasn't her strong point.

"With a foundation, then I guess it's not a big problem!" Kenny Ortega nodded in mock contemplation, then he turned his gaze to Lin Mingyang who was standing by the side, "Felix, now we can sit down and have a good talk about shooting the script!"
