Chapter 99 Returning to the Host Family, Another Host's Hug

While studying at university in Los Angeles, Jiang Chen lived with an American family.

After becoming an undrafted player and signing a minimum-salary contract with the Lakers, he did not move to another city and still lived with a family in the United States.

After all, with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of US dollars, after paying taxes and buying some equipment, there won't be much money left.

In Los Angeles, where every inch of land is valuable, renting a decent apartment would cost tens of thousands of US dollars a year.

When he returned to Los Angeles, he took a taxi and went straight to where he was staying.

Now, it's time to move out!

However, he had a very deep relationship with the landlord and another guest, so he planned to stay for a few more days to say goodbye properly.

Sitting in the taxi, Jiang Chen also switched to the US network and read some recent news.

Without exception, all U.S. media are frantically criticizing the performance of the U.S. Dream Team 8 in the Olympics.

They claimed that losing to the Chinese team was the most humiliating match the US team had ever experienced in so many international competitions, even more embarrassing than the defeat in the 2006 World Championships and the elimination by the Lithuanian team in 2004.

Some media even said that the US team let the Chinese team win in the finals!

Some basketball experts said that the United States' failure was a shame for the entire country.

There are all kinds of opinions, and without exception, they all criticize and denounce the US team.

In response, all the US players chose to remain silent.

Only the U.S. Basketball Association stood up and announced that the U.S. coach K would be expelled from the national team, which was considered a scapegoat.

Even so, American fans have no intention of letting the Dream Team go, and they still often mock and taunt them online and speak ill of them.

There is no doubt that the Dream Team was nailed to the pillar of shame.

Some media pointed out that perhaps only by winning the championship in the next Olympics or the World Championships and regaining dominance in world basketball can the anger and prejudice of fans be calmed.

....

Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile as he read the news.

Obviously American fans have some unrealistic ideas.

Will you win the next World Championships or Olympics?

Do you think my Chinese team is just a decoration?

As long as I am on the national team, there is no chance that the US team will win!

It seems like the Dream Team will be scolded by fans for many years!

Jiang Chen thought about it and couldn't help but feel in a good mood, and began to look forward to the new season.

He not only wants to dominate the world of basketball, but also the NBA.

joke.

With Kuroko's amazing basketball skills, if you don't become the best basketball player in the world, you will be sorry for this system!

About an hour later.

He returned to the door of his host family, looked at the familiar house, and couldn't help shouting: "I'm back!"

However, there was no movement.

He pushed the door open out of curiosity, and was greeted by surging mountains, accompanied by a clear, sweet voice with a hint of charm.

"Our Chinese hero is finally back! Welcome, welcome."

Then, Jiang Chen felt something soft crashing into his arms. The real touch made him feel dizzy and confused.

It goes without saying that the person who threw herself into his arms was another guest of this American family, who was also from China - Tang Yaqing.

Tang Yaqing and Jiang Chen are in the same university. Tang Yaqing is one year older than Jiang Chen and is currently a junior.

Although she is Chinese, Tang Yaqing has a figure that is not inferior to that of American beauties, with the right curves and curves.

Coupled with a standard face of a classical Chinese beauty, she looks particularly beautiful.

With her figure and pretty face, Tang Yaqing became a well-known figure in the school, and her suitors lined up all over the west coast in Los Angeles.

The two of them were in a foreign country, living together... no, living in an American family at the same time, so they couldn't help but take care of each other...

During the difficult years when he was an undrafted draft pick and signed with the Lakers, it was Tang Yaqing's constant encouragement that allowed Jiang Chen to persevere.

Of course, these are all stories of the previous host.

Now Jiang Chen only knows Tang Yaqing through memory and has never really met her.

Oh no!

It's making contact now, and the way it's contacting is somewhat...soft.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but look down at Tang Yaqing in his arms.

Jiang Chen is 2.01 meters tall.

Tang Yaqing is about 1.75 meters tall.

And she was wearing a low-cut black dress today...

Well...the angle is just right and the scenery is beautiful.

The memory of the original host really didn't deceive me!

This full chest...is really exaggerated.

As if she felt Jiang Chen's burning gaze, Tang Yaqing took a few steps back, unabashedly puffed out her proud assets, rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, and said, "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, you might have erotic dreams tonight!"

???

Jiang Chen was a little stunned. Is this... so straightforward?

Kind of interesting!

Jiang Chen smiled and looked towards the living room, where the American couple were watching the scene with a smile on their faces.

The old couple had no children, so they were very kind to Jiang Chen and Tang Yaqing and treated them like family.

There was a big cake on the table with the words "Welcome Back Hero" written on it.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw this.

This is the first time he has had time to return here since the finals in Boston.

Before he left last time, he was still a water dispenser manager, still worried about his next contract, and was an unknown undrafted draft pick.

When he came back this time, he was already full of honors. He won the NBA championship, led the Chinese team to win the Olympic championship, signed a big contract, and achieved financial freedom.

In just less than three months, his life and future have changed dramatically.

Of course, the soul in the body was also replaced, but because he had the memories of the original host, he could empathize with everything.

"How did you know I would come back?"

Jiang Chen asked with some curiosity.

"Wow! You're a famous person now. You can find out what you're doing just by checking the news."

Tang Yaqing said with a smile, her expression and tone were very natural, and her attitude towards Jiang Chen did not change because of Jiang Chen's change.

This makes Jiang Chen feel very comfortable.

After all, his fans are too fanatical about him now, and the staff and friends who get along with him are more or less in awe of him.

"I have to thank you for your encouragement and companionship day and night! This is what allowed me to persevere and continue on. Otherwise, how could I be here today?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, the four words "work day and night" were pronounced with particular emphasis.

"Why don't you thank your senior sister?"

Tang Yaqing pursed her lips and said, not paying attention to Jiang Chen's teasing.

What era is this?

Besides, having stayed in the United States for a long time, it is inevitable that I will be influenced by its open culture.

"Senior sister, what do you want? I have hundreds of millions waiting for you at any time, and there will be hundreds of millions more the next day."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"spit!"

Tang Yaqing spat lightly, very disdainful.

This was the norm for the two of them when they were together before, they would always quarrel with each other.

But Jiang Chen always ended up losing in the past, but this time he had the upper hand.

This made Tang Yaqing very dissatisfied.

"Um, when you were away, I used your computer..."

Tang Yaqing said somewhat embarrassedly.

Um?

Jiang Chen's expression instantly became tense!
