Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 28 You Played Your Part Well
After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian temporarily put the matter aside. He ate, rested for a while, and then went to the training hall for extra practice.
Adding three points to his stamina was basically the content of his extra practice.
Moreover, to better adapt to the game, he specifically placed the three-point training after the stamina training.
This way, he could minimize the hit rate decay problem of the open three-point skill as much as possible.
Because this was a variable, this kind of training was very effective.
This was also why his open hit rate had become more and more stable in past games.
After practicing stamina for a while until he was dripping with sweat, he took the three-point ball and started open practice.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
…
The sound of the ball swishing through the net echoed continuously in the arena.
After practicing a set, he was resting between sets when suddenly a figure barged in from the door.
Elizabeth Olsen. She was clearly dressed up carefully today.
Her twin peaks were faintly visible under the black long shirt. She wore a diamond-studded cross pendant on her chest. Her long hair was permed, and she wore red lipstick, making her look even more sexy and charming.
Tang Tian was stunned for a moment. He had made an appointment with Olsen, but he didn't expect her to come early.
"It's a bit cold outside, I came in to sit. You practice, I won't disturb you." Olsen said with a smile after seeing Tang Tian.
Tang Tian nodded after hearing this. Olsen's personality was actually quite good.
Olsen said she wouldn't disturb him, and she really didn't. She basically watched Tang Tian shoot three-pointers the whole time.
She was a little surprised to see the empty three-pointers.
When Tang Tian finished training, she couldn't help but said, "I'm starting to want to go to your live game."
"Sure, I can still get you a ticket." Tang Tian said with a smile.
Olsen handed him a few tissues and said with a smile, "But it may take a while. I will definitely look for you when I have time."
Tang Tian took the tissue and wiped his sweat, then nodded.
"It will be even better if it's during the Championship stage."
The two left the training hall while talking. Tang Tian went to the dormitory to take a shower and change clothes, and then went out with Olsen.
They were unlucky when they went out. It started to drizzle soon after. This was not a good thing for a date.
But Olsen didn't seem to care and kept chatting.
Compared to the last time, she had obviously become a lot more proactive.
When they arrived at the cinema, they didn't expect the garage to be full. They had to park the car on the side of the road more than a hundred meters away and then walk over.
Because it was drizzling and it was winter, the wind was quite cold.
Tang Tian took off his coat after walking two steps and used it to shield Olsen from the rain.
She had come with full sincerity, waiting most of the day to watch a movie with him. He would definitely feel bad if she caught a cold.
Olsen felt the rain above her head suddenly disappear. When she turned her head and saw that it was Tang Tian using his coat to shield her from the rain, a warmth appeared on her face.
The distance of a hundred meters was not far, and they arrived in a few minutes.
After picking up the tickets and some snacks, the two entered the theater with the other moviegoers.
This was a movie called *Peace, Love & Misunderstanding*. The name was particularly high-end, but even Tang Tian had never heard of it.
It was conceivable how literary and niche this film was. If Olsen hadn't invited him, he would never have come to see it.
The attendance rate of the cinema was not high. At 9 o'clock, which was considered the tail end of the golden hour, it was only two or thirty percent full.
The movie started quickly. The protagonist was a female lawyer named Diane. She had two teenage children, a boy named Jake and a girl named Zoe, both of whom were in their rebellious period. The children's rebellion and the setbacks at work led Diane's husband to file for divorce. In order for both of them to calm down, Diane and her husband took the children to their grandmother's house for the summer vacation.
Grandma Grace was an old hippie who loved rock and roll and had no worries in life. Faced with such a fun old woman, this trip, which was originally an escape, gradually turned into a summer adventure due to the various interesting things that happened, filled with various factors such as music, faith, love, family, secrets, and self-discovery.
After really getting into the movie, it was actually not bad. It was just that because it was completely a family drama, it would be fine to watch on TV, but not many people would come to see it in the cinema.
But after watching for more than five minutes, Tang Tian knew why Olsen had invited him to watch this movie.
Because the girl named Zoe was played by Olsen.
When the two were eating before, Olsen said she was acting, and at the time she said it was a secret. He didn't expect it to be this movie.
In the final stage of the movie, Diane and her husband hugged each other tightly, with the happy laughter of the two children and grandmother beside them.
A standard happy ending full of happiness.
Just then, Tang Tian felt Olsen hold his hand, and she was holding it with a bit of force.
Looking at her expression, she was completely immersed in the movie.
This was probably the first movie she had ever seen in a cinema. For Olsen, the feeling she had watching it with others must be very different.
It was like seeing her own child being born, full of expectation and hope, mixed with a hint of fear and worry.
The movie ended, and Olsen's emotions gradually calmed down.
"I'm sorry." She realized at this time that she had been holding Tang Tian's hand all the time.
"It's okay." Tang Tian replied with a smile.
After the people in the theater had almost left, they got up and walked out.
"You acted very well." Tang Tian praised.
Because of the character's own settings, Olsen's scenes in the movie were not particularly outstanding, but as a newcomer, her acting skills in this movie were actually completely up to standard.
"I thought you didn't recognize me." Olsen said with some joy.
The protagonists of the movie were Diane and her husband. The two children didn't have many scenes, and Olsen was playing a teenager, so she had a lot of makeup on. It would be difficult to recognize her if you didn't pay attention.
The two had already left the cinema while talking. The drizzle outside had stopped.
"Remember what I said, your eyes have the magic of a witch. I can recognize them at a glance." Tang Tian said with a smile.
The movie was over, and the two were about to separate. Olsen was so polite, so he should say some nice things.
Olsen's face turned slightly red after hearing this. She seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "You told me last time that I was suitable for acting in movies with a contrasting image. I think that's right, so I'm going to take on a movie called *Martha Marcy May Marlene*, but…"
Olsen hesitated here.
Tang Tian was stunned after hearing this.
He hadn't seen the movie *Peace, Love & Misunderstanding*, but he knew about *Martha Marcy May Marlene*. That was an R-rated movie!
