"Congratulations! The performance tonight was wonderful!"
Candice stared blankly at Lu Ke in front of her. Her smooth brows and sunny smile were still familiar, but there was a hint of mature temperament. Those bright eyes were like the North Star under the night, guiding them. It guides lost travelers back to the safe road, and even the dark night cannot block the light.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Candice now finally understood what the pounding state of her heart was about. The throbbing and excitement of the slightly trembling heart made every cell in her body start to scream for joy; then, after she realized Before that, his cheeks began to feel slightly hot, and the corners of his mouth also turned upward.
"One? Isn't this too rude?" Adriana's lazy cigarette voice with a hint of hoarseness sounded in her ears, with a hint of provocation and cunning, which instantly brought Candice back to her senses. ——She and Lu Ke were not the only ones here, but in public, with countless spectators surrounding them.
At this moment, Candice realized that all eyes were focused on her and Lu Ke, with envy, speculation, curiosity, exploration, expectation... countless scorching eyes, as if they were standing on As if he were at the center of the world, every move he made was exposed to all the attention.
Those envious gazes were like hundreds of spotlights focused on her body, and the hot temperature could be felt on the surface of her skin. This caused countless butterflies to emerge from Candice's belly, flapping their wings at the same time, dopamine and The secretion of adrenaline made his expression light up.
But then it dawned on Candice: they needed to keep it a secret. They don't want to become the focus of the world's attention like Adam and Behati, which may disrupt Lu Ke's preparation rhythm——
The riots in the locker room in the past few weeks have just calmed down. The last thing Lu Ke needs now is the paparazzi's troubles. That is even worse and worse harassment and destruction than the locker room problem, and once it starts, it will never end. If this is the case, then no one can predict what will happen in the playoffs.
After realizing this, Candice straightened her back slightly. Although every cell in her body was now filled with the sweetness of joy and happiness, she still forced herself to calm down, without making a fuss or exaggerating, but trying to pretend to be calm, as if it was just a visit from an ordinary friend. generally.
However, now it is Lu Ke who is more difficult than Candice.
Candice suddenly remembered the countless topics surrounding Lu Ke today. They were both funny and curious, and she couldn't help but start to look forward to it. She folded her hands in front of her chest, joined her friends, and headed towards Lu Ke. Ke cast his gaze away.
Lu Ke is really not used to it now. He is suddenly bathed in the gaze of so many ladies. Even his breathing seems to be under surveillance, not to mention every move. Even Candice is paying attention. A similar joking gaze made Lu Ke helplessly laugh.
Subtly, Lu Ke twisted his shoulders, as if he was adjusting the tight muscles, and then straightened his entire spine, facing all the eyes of the people actively and bravely, as if he was standing on a candlestick for the first time. The course is generally equipped to meet the tough challenges of the professional game.
Lu Ke responded directly to Adriana's teasing just now, but his voice was still slightly jerky, "...I have tried my best, but obviously all the roses at the scene today have been taken by others first, and I was unable to catch up."
There is no ease and maturity with ease, but a youthful vigor and sincerity; more importantly, there is also a small sense of humor, but there is no glib complacency. He teases Adam easily and then responds to Adria. Na's tricky question is like a white bedsheet hanging out in the sun on a summer afternoon. A breeze blows by, and the fragrance of soap locust hits your face.
"Rose?" Everyone's gazes were directed towards the direction of Behati and Adam——
It was still the liveliest and most crowded area, as if more than half of the crowd at the scene were gathered in the same place. But vaguely, many curious eyes were still directed towards Lu Ke's position.
Then, the Victoria's Secret Angels who gathered around Lu Ke looked at each other with meaningful expressions, and laughed happily. Their laughter was filled with all kinds of emotions. The different features truly allow people to experience what it means to be "enchanted by the squandering flowers".
Alexandra's eyes shifted back and forth between Lu Ke and Candice, as if she smelled some unusual surge of air, and asked in a suggestive way, "So, tonight Why did you suddenly appear at the show? If we remember correctly, the season should still be in progress. If you see athletes here, won't you be reprimanded by the coach? "
Lech has already considered such an issue. He said hello to Hubble in advance and sought the approval of team manager Trent Baalke before making today's and tomorrow's itinerary.
Although this was Lu Ke's personal schedule and it did not affect the team's daily training and games, Lech still reported in advance and maintained a good cooperative relationship with the team, which does no harm. What's more, based on Lu Ke's own attitude towards training, Laihe also knew that he would definitely want to do this.
Faced with the sudden spying, Lu Ke was calmer than Candice and did not panic at all.
"Oh, it was purely accidental. The sponsor just happened to provide a rare opportunity, and I didn't know about it until the last moment." It was not only an answer to Alexandra's question, but also an answer to Candice's doubts, "Since When you arrive at the scene, it would be rude not to come over and say hello.”
The last words were said to Candice.
Then Lu Ke faced everyone's gaze again, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Lu Ke, Candice's friend." He was not too intimate, and there was no way to avoid suspicion. Such a generous performance was more normal. , quietly dispelling everyone's suspicion.
"We know." Adriana leaned forward again and put her hands on Candice's shoulders. She seemed to have believed what Lu Ke said. "The news about you has been everywhere recently. Do you want to It’s too difficult to pay attention, look, even Leo is your friend, how could we not know? Good evening, I am Adriana Lima.”
Then, Adriana blinked and said slyly, "Fortunately, Giselle is not attending tonight, otherwise, you would not feel comfortable standing together."
It wasn't just for Lu Ke - because Lu Ke defeated Brady today; and the corner of his eyes was vaguely projected towards Leonardo, obviously making a joke on the latter, it seemed that it should be more Familiar friends.
"If that's the case, you should have a harder time attending the NBA dinner party." Lu Ke showed a regretful expression and said sincerely——
Adriana's husband, Marco Jaric, has played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies, but during his career, none of these three teams performed particularly well in the league and lost. He played a lot of games, and later became a marginal figure after joining the Memphis Grizzlies.
If Brady loses, Gisele will be uncomfortable; then Adriana will obviously not be too happy if Jaric loses.
Lu Ke made a small counterattack in the form of a horizontal analogy - of course, the tone was still light and joking. Not only did he successfully save himself, but also Leonardo, and the other models all burst into laughter. , some people even started to make fun of Adriana.
But Adriana is a little pepper, and her straightforward and forthright personality has never changed. Now she wrinkles her facial features exaggeratedly, showing an expression of disgust, and complains in a high-pitched voice, "Ah ! I didn’t expect you to be the type who shows off humor and cleverness. Oh, now all the sex/sense has been killed, what should I do?”
"...I don't have to worry about retaliation from Marko Jaric and the NBA?" Lu Ke raised his voice and said uncertainly, then raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I really did not cause any trouble in the two major sports leagues. War means, I don’t want to be Achilles, and you don’t look like Helen.”
Achilles and Agamemnon competed for Helen, the most beautiful goddess in the world, which triggered the Trojan War.
Leonardo was the first one to clap his hands and burst into laughter, followed by other models who could understand Lu Ke's humor. A brilliant move, definitely a brilliant move!
Even Adriana had to give her a round of applause to express her admiration.
The confrontation between Lu Ke and Adriana was just a matter of a few words, and there were really sparks flying between you and me.
However, it was precisely thanks to Adriana's teasing that she fell into the rhythm that Lu Ke was familiar with and became more comfortable in dealing with it. Unknowingly, the focus shifted away from Candice and Lu Ke again. , the two people's eyes crossed inadvertently, and they both let out a breath quietly.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke raised his right hand again and took the initiative to hand over the tulip. He did not deliberately cover it up, but was open and above board.
Candice did not refuse and took the tulip with both hands. Her cheeks were slightly hot. She did not dare to express her feelings easily under the spotlight. However, Candice herself could not detect any urgency in her heart. Maybe It's because there are countless topics and discussions about Lu Ke today, maybe because she is worried about being caught by the paparazzi, and now she only wants Lu Ke to leave quickly. Is this...jealous?
No, this is not jealousy, absolutely not!
