With his heart pounding, Logan said all the words at once.
But he didn't hear any response. He opened his eyes carefully, and then he saw the sadness on Julia's face. He could even hear the sound of heartbreak. Her eyes fell apart bit by bit. Suddenly, Logan was at a loss and tried to comfort Julia, but he didn't know how to start.
In an instant, Logan relented, and the truth came to his lips; but when he thought about it, the long-term pain was worse than the short-term pain, so he had to persevere, biting the tip of his tongue hard, and finally endured it.
Taking a step forward, Logan hurriedly took Julia into his arms, patted her back gently, and whispered comforting:
"Don't be sad. This is a good thing for you. Bambi doesn't deserve it at all. He is a complete asshole! If you like him because of his face, you will soon get bored of him. Watch for a long time After that, he’s not that good at all; if it’s about character, believe me, he’s a bastard! I’m serious!”
Julia didn't answer, she just pushed Logan away, sat back on the bed in a daze, and seemed to have no interest in the game at all.
Logan breathed a sigh of relief, finally overcoming the crisis. Next, you just need to wait quietly. After a while, Julia will recover, then completely forget about Lu Ke, and things will get better. The pain now is only temporary.
Staying in the room, Logan comforted Julia a few more words. This time, he did not force Julia to go downstairs to watch the live broadcast of the game. He left the room quietly, then closed the door again and leaned his back against the door panel. , exhaled a long breath: It was so dangerous, I just gained wisdom and successfully solved the problem. Otherwise, I don’t know what would happen if such a difficult matter was left alone.
Returning to the living room, Tiffany raised her head, "Where's Julia?"
"Uh, she...she's a little uncomfortable, let's take a rest." Logan said simply. Worried that his words were not convincing, he added, "Anyway, she has no interest in the Patriots. She doesn't have to watch them." No."
This time, Tiffany didn't continue to ask any more questions. She just said naggingly, "We'd better record the game, otherwise she will regret it and ask us why we didn't record it." Then everyone else The chatter became lively, the game has entered the coin tossing stage, and the start is about to begin.
Logan sat down on the sofa next to him, and then he noticed the eyes diagonally across from him. He raised his head and saw Lu Ke's concerned gaze. Logan couldn't help but feel guilty. Thinking back to the nonsense just now, he almost didn't dare to look directly. Lu Ke could only nod and shake his head casually, indicating that it was okay, and then exclaimed exaggeratedly, "It's started, it's started! Another highlight of today!"
Lu Ke didn't think much, turned his head and looked at the big screen, and started talking to Austin about today's game from afar.
Tim Tebow, the quarterback of the Denver Broncos, the chosen one, miraculously defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers and came to the New England Patriots. He can be called the biggest dark horse in this year's playoffs. Now Tebow is facing off against Brady. , the discussion index of this game has easily broken the charts.
This afternoon, after the San Francisco 49ers led by Lu Ke defeated the New Orleans Saints, even the CBS TV commentators who were responsible for broadcasting the game said that the "new and old showdown" continued all the way to this divisional game. , Brady and the New England Patriots he leads must be careful and guard against upsets.
Austin was complaining to Lu Ke. He couldn't figure out how Tebow won the last game.
In fact, the entire league didn't understand. Even the Steelers themselves were confused and lost the game inexplicably. There seemed to be no better explanation other than "God's favor."
"Julia!" Tiffany raised her head and saw her daughter appearing at the top of the stairs. She exclaimed, and then everyone turned their heads and looked away. "Didn't you say that she was not feeling well?" Are you comfortable? You can take a good rest and we will record the game. If you want to watch it later, you can watch the replay."
Julia glanced at Logan and cleared her throat, "Well, it doesn't matter. I'll join you and just watch from the side." Finally, her eyes fell on Lu Ke and Candice again.
After thinking about it, Julia was still unwilling to give up, and she had already chosen to give up before she even started fighting. This is not her character, nor is it Lu Ke's character. At least, she should stand up and fight bravely, so even if she fails She wouldn't regret it, burying her head in the sand cowardly like an ostrich, she didn't want this.
Taking courage, straightening her back and holding her head high, Julia appeared in the living room again.
Logan frowned in annoyance. He could already predict that a disaster was coming quickly, but there was no turning back when the construction started. He could only make mistakes now and watched Julia heading towards the center. Walking towards the sofa, he quickly stood up, jumped to Lu Ke's side, and quickly seized the "tactical fortress".
Originally, Lu Ke, Candice, and Jiang Youning were sitting on the sofa in the center. On the right were Austin and Lu Zhengze, and on the left was Logan. Tiffany was still walking around in the hall and had not sat down yet.
The sofa that accommodated three people was relatively rich and not crowded. However, Logan's strong body rushed over and there was a chaos. Tiffany was speechless for a while, "Logan! What's the matter with you? There are not so many people here. No space? Why do you insist on squeezing next to Bambi? Really, he is still a child and won’t grow up!”
With a glance from the corner of his eye, Logan noticed Julia's stunned expression. He quickly said urgently, "Julia is not feeling well. I will give her the sofa and have a good rest." Then he sat up straight again. He pressed his body hard against Lu Ke's shoulders and said, "Man, sit down a little bit and I'll squeeze in with you here."
"Logan, you're a little weird today." Lu Ke frowned, looked at Logan inexplicably, and couldn't help but laugh, "Honestly, did you do something wrong? And now you're covering it up? "
"No way!" Logan spread his hands and used his whole body to show his innocence. He didn't say a word, just stared at Lu Ke, silently expressing his protest.
But Lu Ke chuckled. He knew that there must be something fishy going on.
Logan is not good at lying. Every time he tries to conceal or hide a secret, his behavior will become particularly weird and even exaggerated. He will also try to reduce the frequency and amount of words he speaks, lest he be careless in his words. The truth was revealed. Just like it is now.
…
Candice, who was sitting next to her, quietly watched everything in front of her, but she vaguely noticed Julia's strangeness, and seemed to have noticed the truth.
There is always a feeling between girls, and they can recognize the subtle changes in each other's thoughts.
Just now Candice caught Julia's eyes, which always fell on Lu Ke, and she hesitated to speak; then when she turned to Logan, it was with a hint of complaint and blame; finally she looked at Candice When I was alone, I had mixed feelings.
Candice suddenly realized the little details. She looked at Lu Ke, then at Julia, and then thinking about everything that had just happened, Candice's mood was a little subtle.
…
"Okay, okay, the game has started, hurry up! Quiet, everyone is quiet!" Austin didn't notice the ups and downs here at all. He just heard countless noises and quickly stopped them. In the live broadcast, the game has officially started. , the New England Patriots took the lead in attacking.
Julia gave Logan a hard look, which was really embarrassing. She knew that Logan did it on purpose! But what can she do? I felt helpless and depressed, but in the end I didn't dare to say it directly. I could only walk to the sofa on the left, sit down, and stare deeply at the sofa in the middle.
Lu Ke didn't notice anything strange at all, raised his hands high, joined Austin, and started cheering, "Defense! Defense! Defense!"
As a player, Lu Ke hopes to compete with Brady; but as a fan, except for New England, there are really very few fans in other parts of the United States who support the Patriots. The Newman family is a typical representative - deeply disgusted The New England Patriots, naturally, chose to support the Denver Broncos in this game.
As the locals do, Lu Ke began to support the Denver Broncos.
Although Candice met for the first time, she was not reserved or unfamiliar. She also raised her hands high, clapped and shouted together, and integrated into the atmosphere of the game together, "Defend! Defend!"
Gradually, everyone in the entire living room began to cheer and shout, as if they were sitting in Gillette Stadium, cheering for the away Broncos, becoming one of the thousands of fans on the North American continent. members, the atmosphere of the second divisional match gradually became stronger.
In the midst of the joy, Julia was filled with sorrow and had nowhere to vent. Finally, she turned her grief and anger into strength. She jumped up in one go, stood on the sofa, and cheered for the Broncos extremely hard. The enthusiastic dance of the hot cheerleaders was really wonderful. It was too dazzling to ignore, and all eyes were focused on it.
Even Austin looked at his daughter in astonishment, confused and didn't understand what happened. The potato chips around his mouth fell to the ground.
But Julia was completely oblivious to herself.
Dance like no one is watching; sing like no one is listening; love like you have never been hurt; live like it is the end of the world.
Gradually, the smile crept up to the corners of her mouth again, and her mood lifted again. Julia truly became involved in the competition, shouting loudly to the stunned family and friends in front of her, "What's wrong? Don't you want to join me?" Quick, quick! Defend! Snap! Defend! Snap!"
That bright and brilliant smile once again revealed the most beautiful gesture of youth.
