Basketball glory

After walking out of the American West Arena, An Ran felt much more relaxed. No matter what, his trial training was over.

As for whether he can be selected, that is no longer something he can control. Anyway, what should be done has been done.

An Ran thought about it and planned to go back to New York to deal with some trivial matters. However, when she turned on her phone, she suddenly received a text message from Ding Yanyuhang.

It said, "Lao An, the candidate for the head coach of this Olympic Games has been announced. He requires all players to return to their positions before June 1st. Can you come back in time? I heard that Zhou Qi has returned to China. Is your trial training going well?

?”

An Ran thought for a while, and since the candidate for the head coach has been decided, it is better to go back early. Although Yao Ming has said that he can stay a few more days to deal with his own affairs, it is still not good to go against the wishes of the head coach.

An Ran replied, "The trial training is okay. It's not difficult. I hope you can come to the NBA to practice in the future. I haven't met Zhou Qi, but I think he performed well. I will go back early and won't delay training."

After replying to Ding Yanyuhang's message, An Ran knew that her trip to New York would have to be postponed. After all, she might not be able to see Ellie and Martin after going there.

"Too busy! Air tickets, this is all money!" An Ran looked at the location of Phoenix City behind her speechlessly.

I received a salary of hundreds of thousands last season and finally saved a little money. After a few flights, I already looked like I was broke again.

More than ten hours later, Shanghai.

The final training location this time was set in Shanghai, and An Ran flew back here directly.

An Ran showed the taxi driver the note from Xie Ziyun giving her address, and then An Ran saw an expression of disbelief on his face.

The taxi man sat up straight and asked: "Young man, are you sure you want to go here?"

An Ran craned his neck and saw the address he had just entered into the navigation system. He checked it several times before he was sure.

"That's right, it's right here. How long does it take to get there?"

An Ran leaned on the seat a little tired and asked feebly.

"It won't take long, but I can't get in here, so I can only deliver it to the gate of the community."

Seeing the taxi driver looking at herself carefully, An Ran thought to herself: "I don't look like a pretty boy, right? How do you know I can't afford an apartment?"

Guessing that the location of this community might be expensive, An Ran politely said to the driver: "It's okay, just bring it to the door. I can walk there by myself."

After saying that, An Ran added a word more: "My girlfriend lives there."

It wasn't until she arrived at the gate of the community that An Ran understood what the taxi driver meant when he said it was far away.

This and that place can be considered a community, obviously a luxury residence, obviously a large villa, okay?

Walking along the avenue, there is a large villa every forty or fifty meters. It is a two-story structure and is surrounded by a half-person-high white fence. A wide yard is enough to park some vehicles or do sports.

The most important thing is that in Shanghai, where land is at a premium, this villa area is not built in the outer suburbs and is not far from the city center, which makes travel very convenient.

The fresh air is very pleasant, and An Ran can feel the luxury and wealth here even when walking on the road.

It was the first time that I felt Xie Ziyun's living environment so intuitively, which shocked An Ran and was a little at a loss.

I thought she was a little rich, but I didn't expect that she could even afford such a villa. An Ran speculated that buying a house here would cost at least tens of millions, which was far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I didn't expect that she would change so much in the past few years.

Back then, I was still a desperate college student looking for tens of thousands of dollars. Now, in the blink of an eye, I have become so rich that I live in a villa worth tens of millions.

In An Ran's eyes, all those who are qualified to live in such a large villa are big bosses with a big belly, a gold chain, a black leather bag and a flowery shirt.

But Xie Ziyun looks gentle and elegant, and dresses so trendy, like a little girl who loves beauty, but she cannot be associated with the boss.

After ringing the doorbell, An Ran was surprised to find that the person who opened the door was not Xie Ziyun, but an aunt about fifty years old.

The black hair does not make people feel young, but instead highlights the grayness of the hair roots. However, from the skin point of view, it is quite normal and does not appear to be seriously old.

"You are An Ran, right? Xiaoyun told me you would come today, but I didn't expect you to arrive so early."

Before An Ran could react, the aunt enthusiastically pulled him in and closed the door neatly.

He asked with concern: "Are you a little hungry? I'll heat some porridge for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the aunt turned around and started to walk to the kitchen. An Ran was confused for a while and hadn't figured out what was going on.

Quickly pulling back the enthusiastic aunt, An Ran asked with a wry smile: "What do you call aunt? Where did Ziyun go?"

Then An Ran noticed that the aunt suddenly slapped her head and said sheepishly: "Look at my memory, Xiao Yun has gone to Guangdong and has been busy working there in the past few weeks. She called and said you will arrive today,

Then she also took the flight back today. She may be on the plane now, and she didn’t have time to explain to you.”

Then the aunt brought a glass of water and put it in front of Anran, and continued: "I am Xiaoyun's aunt. She usually doesn't hire a nanny. This time she was on a business trip for a long time, so she asked me to come over and help her look at the house. What's your name?

Just thank you aunt, of course. If you don't mind, you can just call me aunt."

After listening to her words, the water in An Ran's mouth almost spurted out. It was obvious that she already knew what happened between herself and Xie Ziyun, that's why she said that.

An Ran put down the cup tremblingly, and then said sheepishly: "This can't be done, I'd better call Auntie Xie."

"It's okay, you can shout whatever you want, we don't have that much etiquette here."

An Ran felt relieved seeing that she was so easy to talk to.

"Auntie Xie, when will Ziyun's flight arrive today? I'll pick her up!"

Seeing An Ran drink all the water, Aunt Xie poured another glass. An Ran was frightened and frightened. There was no reason to ask an elder to pour water.

Aunt Xie pushed An Ran down on the sofa with a smile on her face, and then said: "Xiao Yun said you can just wait for her at home, and it's a good thing you don't run around. She said it's your first time in Shanghai and you can't find her."

Seeing that Aunt Xie wanted to get herself a banana again, An Ran stood up first and prepared to bring the fruit plate over.

However, before she even took a step, Aunt Xie rushed over with a fierce stride and pushed An Ran down on the sofa again. She also said, "If you need anything, just call me. There is no need for you to do it yourself."

Then An Ran watched helplessly as she trotted all the way to bring the fruit plate, looking like a fifty-year-old aunt.

An Ran trembled even more when she remembered how hard she had pushed her down on the sofa just now.

I am a basketball player! And I was pushed down by an aunt who was more than two heads shorter than me!?

"Xiao An, don't worry about it. Auntie is just a little too enthusiastic. I'll clean up the kitchen and cook for you tonight. If you need anything, just call me."

Seeing An Ran's unnatural expression just now, Aunt Xie smiled sheepishly.

I am used to being tough in the countryside, but who would have thought that kids in the city are so careless.

However, An Ran, who knew her good intentions, would not blame her. Meeting such a simple rural aunt, An Ran felt much more friendly and very natural.

The only thing I don't understand is why this aunt can push herself down on the sofa all of a sudden

Shouldn't he change his name and be defeated by the push?

An Ran didn't have to wait for a long time. Aunt Xie quickly came over with the things she made.

A large bowl of lean meat porridge, a stack of beef with soy sauce, a plate of fat sausage and shredded potatoes, and a large bowl of rice.

Seeing these dishes placed on the table, An Ran swallowed her saliva in disappointment.

After sitting on the plane for so long and having to endure the unpalatable sandwiches on the plane, I was already hungry, so this meal came at the perfect time.

"Would you like to wait for Ziyun? It's 6pm now, you should be back soon!"

Although her chest was pressed against her back due to hunger, An Ran still asked.

There was no way to make phone calls on the plane, and An Ran couldn't contact her now, but this didn't stop An Ran from worrying that she would be hungry.

"I left it for her, and I'll help her heat it up when I get back. Just eat it first. Xiaoyun told me that I must treat you well."

An Ran was no longer polite when he heard this, picked up the chopsticks and started eating, saying, "Why are you so polite! We are all our own!"

Hearing his words, Aunt Xie covered her mouth and smiled, then went upstairs to clean up the room.

While An Ran was concentrating on eating dinner, she didn't even notice that the door was opened.

A woman in business attire walked over quietly with her waist down. She gently placed her suitcase at the door. Xie Ziyun took off her high heels and put them on the shoe rack in a low voice.

Instead of looking for slippers, Xie Ziyun walked to the restaurant on tiptoe with her bare feet.

Just when she entered the door, Xie Ziyun had already noticed the loud, pig-like man who was eating loudly. Who else could it be if he wasn't An Ran.

When passing by the sofa, Xie Ziyun quietly put her handbag on the sofa to prevent the jingling sound from disturbing An Ran. Then she approached him quietly.

An Ran was intoxicated by Aunt Xie's perfect craftsmanship, especially the soy sauce beef that he couldn't put down, and he didn't feel anyone approaching him at all.

"Guess who I am!"

Xie Ziyun walked behind An Ran's chair, blindly covered his eyes, and asked in a rough voice.

"Zi Yun, you can tell it just by listening to the voice." An Ran said vaguely with her mouth full.

Seeing that he had a greasy mouth and was about to turn his head to look at her, Xie Ziyun burst out laughing.

He quickly pulled out a tissue and wiped An Ran's mouth hard, staring at him with a smile on his face.

An Ran turned around and saw Xie Ziyun's flawless face. Her long black hair was hanging down. Maybe it was a bit messy due to the long journey. Her crescent-like eyes were staring at her brightly. Her warm smile made An Ran feel very special.

Peace of mind.
