Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 110 Olsen's Family
“I want a real love, like playing basketball. I don’t want it to be just a temporary thrill.”
“Haha, I didn’t expect you to be such an innocent guy.” Tang Tian laughed and patted Walker on the shoulder.
People are really strange creatures. One species can have all sorts of weird personalities, and each personality determines their attitude towards things.
Tang Tian was more casual with women because of his past life, but Walker was a rare innocent boy.
That's the difference in personality.
Walker smiled and then drank all the wine in his glass.
“Tang, why do you play basketball?” After drinking, Walker suddenly asked.
“Why do I play basketball?” Tang Tian looked at Walker curiously.
Walker nodded.
“Then what about you?” Tang Tian asked back.
“Me? I asked you the question.”
“You go first.” Tang Tian said with a smile.
“Me, when I was very young, it was to find a way out of life. Now, it’s because of love.” Walker thought for a while and said.
“Was your childhood not good?” Tang Tian then asked. Although he had been with Walker for almost a year, and the two were close, Walker had never mentioned his past.
“It wasn’t too good, but it wasn’t that bad either.” Walker said with a smile.
“I know Allen Iverson. When he was a child, he was surrounded by violence and drugs. Those things could kill a person early on, but he didn’t. He’s really amazing.”
Tang Tian nodded, it seemed that Walker’s idol was not only Parker.
“Compared to that, my childhood wasn’t really that bad, just a little poor. I needed to dance in front of that laundromat in the New York Red Zone to attract customers, but our dance troupe also performed on the stage of the Apollo Theater.” Walker was full of memories when he said that.
Walker’s dance was great. The dances at the opening of the game against Duke University were designed by Walker. He just didn’t expect that he would dance for this reason.
“But now I love basketball. I like running on the court, the feeling of dribbling past opponents, enjoying the cheers from the fans, and making every ball, it’s like every cell in my body is burning and boiling. I like that feeling.” Walker continued.
“Me too.” Tang Tian said.
During this year at UConn, Walker was changing, and he was also changing. Experiencing the team's losses and wins, from the low point to the rise, and then to ups and downs, from the initial absolute calmness, to now he would be excited and shout because of goals.
Especially the celebration after the game-winning shot against Duke completely released him. He already enjoyed the fun of being a player and re-loved the sport as a player.
After listening to Tang Tian, Walker smiled and stretched out his hand. Tang Tian also stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands.
The two can be regarded as like-minded.
Just then, Tang Tian's cell phone suddenly rang.
Tang Tian took it out and saw that it was Olsen calling.
Olsen didn’t go to the finals yesterday because he had something to do. He probably called to congratulate him at this time.
“Where are you, is it convenient now?” But after the call was connected, it was a little different from what he thought.
“I…is something the matter?” Tang Tian originally wanted to say it was inconvenient, after all, everyone was celebrating in the bar, and it was not appropriate for him to leave suddenly, but he heard that Olsen’s tone seemed a little wrong, and there was a sound of wind whistling over there.
“I want to find someone to chat with, but I can’t find anyone else.” Olsen’s tone sounded really wrong.
“Okay, where are you?” Tang Tian asked.
After Olsen reported a place name, Tang Tian asked her to wait for him for a while.
“Kemba, I have something to do temporarily. Tell my teammates that I’m sorry and let them celebrate well.” Tang Tian said, putting down his glass and standing up.
“Yeah, be careful.” Walker reminded.
Tang Tian nodded, went into the bar and said hello to the other teammates, and then took his clothes and prepared to take a taxi.
“By the way, Kemba, now that the championship is over, you can go get your hair cut, and change your shoes too, so you can find true love.” Tang Tian reminded Walker before leaving.
For this championship, Walker refused to cut his hair and has been wearing his black and green Aj shoes for more than a month. He looks a bit sloppy.
“I know.” Walker nodded, and then motioned Tang Tian to leave quickly.
On the beach in New Haven, Tang Tian finally found Olsen.
Her car was parked on the road by the sea, but she was on a rock below, wearing very little, drinking while blowing the sea breeze.
The security in the United States is worse than in China. It is very dangerous for Olsen to be outside alone at night.
Fortunately, he came, otherwise he really didn’t know what would happen.
But from this, it can also be seen that her mood is indeed not good.
Tang Tian went down to the rocks, called her, and asked her to come up.
Olsen turned her head and saw that it was Tang Tian, shook her head, but stretched out her hand to signal him to come over.
Tang Tian walked over, a gust of sea breeze blew, he took off his clothes, walked over and draped them over Olsen.
“Thank you.” Olsen squeezed out a smile on her face.
“It’s cold here, let’s go to the car.” Tang Tian said.
“I want to feel the breeze.” Olsen said, then picked up the whiskey in her hand and took a sip.
Tang Tian knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he simply sat down with her.
“Now it’s troublesome, I’ve also had a drink, and you’ve also had a drink. I’m afraid your car is going to be towed, otherwise if you come to drive it tomorrow, I guess you won’t even see the wheels.” Tang Tian said with a smile.
Olsen was amused by Tang Tian all of a sudden, but immediately shook her head again.
“What happened?” Tang Tian saw that she was not just a little bit in a bad mood, and asked.
“What do you say family is?” Olsen didn’t answer him, but asked Tang Tian instead.
“Family?” Tang Tian was stunned for a moment. Olsen’s words were very sudden, but it also reminded him of what Olsen said to him when he delivered the cake. Olsen’s relationship with her family was not very good. Could it be because she had a conflict with her family?
“Family, that is, the same blood flows in the bones, there is happiness to share at the first time, and there are setbacks that can become a safe haven.” Tang Tian thought for a while and said.
“Yes, that’s family.” Olsen said, then took another sip of whiskey.
“Drink less.” Tang Tian reminded. You will definitely catch a cold if you blow the sea breeze and get drunk.
“Do you know? I don’t want to act in ‘Martha Marcy May Marlene’, but they have to force me to go. I said I don’t want to go, but why do they have to force me to go? Just because my status in the family is not as good as theirs?” Olsen put down her glass and said with red eyes.
“Them?” At this time, Tang Tian had basically determined that Olsen had a conflict with her family. No wonder he didn't see any bodyguards following him earlier.
But them?
