"Hey, how did you know? I thought this was a secret. I was still thinking about how I should tell you." Jay was completely surprised. He was still thinking about how to start and how to explain the whole story to avoid things happening. Being too abrupt ruins the surprise.
Logan's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Lu Ke and said, "Honestly, you are a prophet, right? Or a wizard? Otherwise, how could you predict the future? This is really scary, Look, I’m getting goosebumps! Anyway, you are definitely not a normal human being!”
Jay also looked at Lu Ke in disbelief, "How do you know?"
In fact, Lu Ke himself was a little surprised. He actually guessed it right because he just made a simple guess based on the existing clues. There was no logic or rules at all. In the end, he ran into a dead rat. , he couldn't help but laugh too, "You and Emily? Wow, I couldn't tell when I was in college. Aren't you and her not getting along well? You would have to take a detour if you saw her from a distance. .”
So, is this called... rejoicing in enemies? But Lu Ke still didn't answer "how he knew."
"Remember last year? No, it must have been the year before last. During the offseason of your rookie season, Emily attended a press conference instead of you because you had a bad cold and fever?" Lu Kecai brought up the topic. Yi was stunned.
"At that time, Emily casually mentioned her plan to move to the West Coast. Didn't she find a job in New York? She was willing to move to California. This was obviously a big decision. After all, it is the best place for employment for our journalism majors. It was New York. After that, you mentioned her a few times casually, nothing special, but it was like...well, like she was part of your life."
"...That's all?" Logan couldn't believe his ears. These details were nothing at all, but Lu Ke was able to connect them together. "Bambi, honestly speaking, your brain circuitry is different from ordinary people's." Too the same?"
Facing Logan's complaints, Lu Ke looked calm, "Don't you know? This is called genius."
Logan immediately looked constipated.
Jay could only shake his head in amazement, and then noticed Lu Ke's questioning gaze, which seemed to be asking: Is that so? Jay scratched his head again and nodded in affirmation, "...Yes. We have been dating for nearly two years." When Logan sighed, Jay also looked in disbelief, "How on earth do you know With just those little details? This is incredible! I’m getting goosebumps!”
The same question kept coming over again because I was too surprised, just like a ghost hitting a wall.
Lu Ke had no intention of continuing to pester, "Are you sure you want to waste time on these useless questions? You obviously didn't ask Logan and me to show up tonight to announce that you and Emily are dating, right? Moreover, Emily hasn't shown up yet, so obviously you still need our help, if you continue to delay, Emily will appear."
"Ah! Ah!" Jay slapped his head repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, I hope you can help. With your testimony, I..." Without continuing to speak, Jay directly took it from his pocket. He took out a dark red velvet box and placed it on the table.
"God!" Logan almost screamed, but he controlled his emotions and swallowed his voice, but his eyes still widened.
Jay nodded in affirmation, "I want to propose in your presence. Actually, originally I wanted to invite her family and mine to attend together, but that would be too grand, and with our The salary seems a bit too wasteful. The formal meeting ceremony should be left to the future when we get married; later, I thought that it would be great if I could invite you to be witnesses."
Although Lu Ke had some vague guesses, he was still surprised when he actually found out that Jay was planning to propose. They were only twenty-four years old, but Jay was actually planning to get married? "But, why don't you just share the same world? Why do you even find us two light bulbs to blend together? Especially this guy Logan, you know, he is the surprise destroyer."
"Hey! Bambi! I'm the mood maker at the party, okay?" Logan protested.
Jay scratched his head and ignored Logan, "I know, but I think that would be too plain and boring. I hope to propose in the presence of an authoritative person to express my sincerity..."
"You mean, just like a priest or a priest?" Lu Ke was a little surprised. If the marriage was to be completed under the witness of a priest or city hall official; does an engagement also require this set of formalities?
Jay immediately nodded in affirmation, "That's it! I hope you can be witnesses! Apart from our family members, you are the closest option to the authoritative person. I originally thought of looking for colleagues in the company, but I don’t want work and personal life to be involved...so I thought of you."
"I know what you said is correct, but why do you feel unhappy? I always feel like I'm picking the rest." Logan told the truth straightforwardly.
Jay still tried to explain, but Lu Ke waved his hand, "Ignore him, no matter what, he can say something. Before Emily comes, can you tell us what we need to do first?"
"No, nothing is needed. You just need to be witnesses." Jay waved his hands repeatedly, "It's great if you are willing to agree to help."
In the past, when they were in college, the relationship between them was equal, and they spoke and requested more casually; but not sure whether it was because of nervousness or other reasons, Jay was still a little polite. However, this is also human nature. They are each busy with their own work. The time to sit down and gather face to face like today is getting less and less, so it is inevitable that they will still become unfamiliar. As Jay said, it is very rare that Lu Ke and Logan are willing to agree to help.
Logan was a solid person and said directly, "You mean, we are like those friends in Hollywood movies, we can just be responsible for cheering and moving, right?"
After describing it so vividly, he suddenly became happy, and Lu Ke also laughed, "Best actor, it's your turn to perform well tonight."
"What's the purpose?" As he spoke, a voice came from behind. Under the guidance of Jean-Pierre, tonight's heroine appeared.
Logan faced Emily head-on. He saw the real person at this time, but he still couldn't completely match the name. He just kept thinking about the memory.
Jay, who usually relied on his words, was also a little panicked. He didn't know how to explain to Emily. In the end, Lu Ke stepped forward to rescue him and said, "Use the pistachio function. After graduation, there were fewer and fewer opportunities to meet each other. Logan just returned I’m trying to remember what you looked like, and I’m worried that the situation might be awkward.”
Lu Ke's words were so natural that Emily didn't notice anything strange at all, "Ha, it's normal. When I was in school, I didn't like the group of NCAA athletes in school because they always treated women as trophies; similarly, They don’t like me either because I’m a nerd. So, it’s normal that we don’t have much interaction and don’t remember me.”
Tonight, Emily is wearing an off-white floral dress. Her smart and handsome short hair shows her unique aura. You can feel the confidence radiating from the inside out with every move she makes. In her workplace life After two or three years of polishing, she has become more and more sharp.
Jay stood up and pulled out a chair for Emily. Emily took off her coat and sat down. "Jay has been preparing for tonight's party for a long time. He started choosing a restaurant two weeks ago. How about it? Do you like it?" ?”
Lu Ke and Logan exchanged glances: It turns out they are smoke bombs!
"I like it, of course I like it!" Logan said cheerfully, "But the only thing I'm worried about is that the weight of French cuisine may be difficult for professional players." Then Logan noticed Lu Ke's gaze: Obviously tonight's They were not the protagonists, so Jay chose a French restaurant, otherwise he would have chosen an all-you-can-eat buffet for twenty-nine dollars. Logan quickly changed his gaze, "But we can't eat randomly after leaving the team base. Obviously France Restaurants are also a good fit and it’s easy to detect if there’s anything we can’t eat. Good thing for drug testing.”
This...is true!
Sure enough, Logan is not suitable for "acting" and is full of loopholes. Such words are simply awkward to the extreme: Who would bring up athlete drug testing while eating?
Jay is hopeless.
Lu Ke had no choice but to take action, "The season is coming to an end, and we are all nervous. Obviously, it's lucky that Logan didn't mention our tactical manual now. We don't want to leak the team's tactical secrets. Right?" He made a small joke, although it was still a bit stiff, but it finally covered up the situation.
Emily looked at Lu Ke, "How is it? How is the team's preparations now?"
"Ha, now it's private time, let's put the work topic aside for the time being, otherwise this dinner will be a disaster." Lu Ke said with all his might. If we really start to discuss the work topic, Jay may be on the verge of tears. .
Logan nodded repeatedly, "I can testify! You never want to start a tactical meeting with Bambi, otherwise it will turn into a serious discussion, and you won't even know what you are eating, haha." There is no problem with the words. , but what exactly is going on with Logan’s exaggerated dancing is really... unbearable to look at.
Lu Ke cast a respectful expression towards Jay: Good luck!
Jay was on the point of crying now. Fortunately, he knew enough about Logan, so he had already prepared. The proposal was about to take place, so he could end it earlier so as not to continue to worry about it.
The pre-dinner drinks that had been ordered had already appeared first. The sherry placed in front of Emily had a straw inserted unusually, and then there was a sparkling diamond ring hanging on the straw, which was gently touching the rim of the cup. , shining with colorful light under the dim light.
Then, Emily saw it at a glance, showed a puzzled look, and asked the waiter, "Did this glass of sherry go to the wrong table?"
