Logan's howl came from behind, the melodious melody was heartbreaking. Candice Swanepoel, who was enjoying the music, was startled. She turned around suddenly and waved her hands. He knew the starting stance of free fighting and was ready to counterattack at any time, and then he saw this scene in front of him:
Lu Ke covered Logan's eyes and mouth, as if an agent in a spy movie was preparing to knock down the guard, and Logan had no ability to resist.
This immediately made Candice couldn't help laughing, "Bambi, Logan is about to faint. Are you sure this is okay?"
Lu Ke smiled at Candice and pursed his lips, "He saw something he shouldn't have seen. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Candice didn't know why, and looked down at Lu Ke's line of sight. Then she realized, she was shy and funny at the same time, "I'm wearing denim shorts underneath!" Candice pulled up her shirt, and sure enough, underneath There is also a pair of light blue denim shorts, which can still be seen even under the cover of the white shirt.
Lu Ke suddenly realized, "Okay, I don't understand fashion!" Lu Ke loosened his hands and raised them high to show his innocence.
"Bambi? What's going on? What happened?" Logan was still a little dizzy and felt like the world was spinning. Then he saw Candice and looked up and down. His first reaction was to turn around, " "Ouch" exclaimed, which immediately made Candice laugh happily.
Lu Ke patted Logan on the shoulder, "It's okay, brother, it's okay!"
Logan was still a little hesitant, and secretly turned to look at Lu Ke, "Are you sure?" This made Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh, and took the initiative to step forward and hug Logan into his arms, and rubbed Logan's cheeks vigorously. With a head of wild hair like weeds, "It's okay, good boy, don't worry. Everything is fine, very fine!"
Logan stood up straight with dull eyes, "Why do I feel like you are rubbing the golden retriever?"
The smile in Candice's eyes was full, and then she saw Lu Ke walking towards her, without saying anything, just giving herself a hug.
Candice thought Lu Ke was just welcoming her back, and explained smoothly, "The season is coming to an end. I have to go to Europe next month to participate in the four major fashion weeks. I guess I won't be able to be with you in the first month of the offseason. I'm on vacation, so I took a special trip to give you a little surprise when I come back and stay with you until the end of the Super Bowl."
Gradually, Candice noticed something was wrong, because Lu Ke still hugged him, hugging him quietly like this, as if he was putting all his strength on himself, and the tiredness and tense mood eased. Slowly relaxing, Candice could faintly smell the bitterness of loss.
She cast a questioning look at Logan, but Logan didn't know how to explain it. Candice could only ask, "What's wrong? The training didn't go well? Or did Logan memorize the tactical manual wrong again?" Already?"
Logan stood there helpless: It was just a single dog being abused, but he also had to take the blame. Who did he offend?
"Shh!" Lu Ke's voice sounded low in his ears, "Don't talk, just stand like this for a while, just a little while." Lu Ke also showed a rare hint of vulnerability.
Logan went straight to the sofa in the hall and lay down. He now understood that what happened tonight actually left traces in Lu Ke's heart. They had known Jay for seven years, and they had believed in those things. Changes have occurred quietly, but it still takes time to digest.
Logan also felt that his eyes were slightly sore, so he simply closed his eyes.
"Jay and Emily are engaged." Lu Ke finally spoke.
"Emily? The Emily who came all the way to take care of Jay when he had a fever?" Candice also knew Jay. Lu Ke spent all his time on the training ground and had many friends outside of rugby. Many, Jay can be regarded as one, and he knows more or less about Jay's things.
"Yeah." Lu Ke responded in a low voice. After a moment of silence, he added, "Emily accused us of not being willing to give Jay an exclusive."
"What? Ridiculous!" Even though Lu Ke didn't say anything more, Candice's words just blurted out, and the shock and anger on her face could not be concealed. "How could she confuse right and wrong like this?"
There was no need to say anything more, this sentence was enough, and the smile on Lu Ke's lips couldn't help but rise.
Although Lu Ke spoke categorically and confidently in front of Emily and Logan, deep down, he knew that the distinction between public and private matters was not that simple. He began to doubt whether Emily's accusation was correct; but now, Candice This sentence made Lu Ke's heart warm again.
"Yeah." Lu Ke responded softly.
"She!" Candice was still indignant, "What does she know?"
"Shh." But for Lu Ke, Candice's trust was enough. No words could compare to the eagerness and anger to fight against the injustice. He whispered in her ear, "Tangtang, you Believe me, that's enough. Just for a moment, let's just stand here for a little while."
Candice's eyes couldn't help but feel slightly sore. She knew clearly how difficult this defending season was for Lu Ke. He was carrying too many burdens on his shoulders. Along the way, the difficulties and dangers involved were simply insurmountable. Use words to describe it, but Lu Ke must be strong: Leader, the weight of this word is far from being as simple as imagined.
This is why Candice took a special leave to come back to San Francisco.
The recent period has been the early stage of preparations for the four major fashion weeks. They need to strive for as many catwalk opportunities as possible and cooperate with major brands and designers in rehearsals; but Candice still chose to rest for three weeks without hesitation. I just conditionally chose to cooperate with familiar brands and designers, and then came to San Francisco to spend this time with Lu Ke.
Candice raised her hands, hugged Lu Ke tightly, buried her head in Lu Ke's shoulder, and listened quietly to the beating of the pulse. At a certain moment, the whole world was filled with nothing but Next to each other and their hearts beating to the same rhythm.
A long time... a long time.
"Logan and I haven't had dinner yet, what about you?" Lu Ke asked in a low voice, "I'm going to make a pasta with lamb chops and vegetable salad. By the way, my mother brought a pot over the weekend Come here and warm up the bone broth. Do you want to join us?"
"I'll do it. I'm also preparing to have dinner." Candice took the initiative to take over the kitchen work. "In order to avoid disaster in the kitchen at home, it's better for me to do it."
Candice patted Lu Ke's shoulder, and the two finally let go of their embrace. Then Lu Ke pressed a gentle kiss on Candice's lips, then turned and left: Candice went to the kitchen, and Lu Ke went to the hall.
Logan was lying on the sofa and seemed to have fallen asleep. Lu Ke sat down next to him and ignored him. As a result, Logan himself couldn't help but protested, "Inhumane! You two are abusing singles!" I have to complain to the Dog Lovers Association about your cruelty to small animals."
Lu Ke did not tease Logan this time, but said with a smile, "If you want, you can find a girlfriend. There aren't too many girls who are willing to date you now."
Logan opened his eyes and sat up, "I don't know, all of them approached me with different ideas, either to let the paparazzi take photos secretly, or to use me as a stepping stone, or to sell fitness equipment. , all of them are willing to take the initiative to get close to them because they are profitable. I can't find any innocent ones! Not one! I heard others say before that there are countless women after becoming famous. This is true, but they didn't say that these All women are tigers, okay?”
"That's because you always look for someone in the bar, and the environment determines the opportunity. People in the bar are all opportunists, and the results are already predictable." Lu Ke had a different idea, "You You can look around you, such as gyms, professional players in other sports, such as Hollywood. If you are willing to really settle down, then change the hunting/sexuality/pretend place, this is a start."
"Tsk." Logan expressed strong dissatisfaction, "You put it lightly. You and Tangtang have known each other for more than ten years. You know the basics, so there is no need to worry."
"Otherwise, let me try and introduce you to Anne Hathaway? Leonardo DiCaprio is holding a private party. He has asked me before if I am willing to attend. Can I get rid of him and make a match?" Lu Ke Said proactively.
Logan rolled his eyes, "Annie is married, don't you know?"
"Oh." Lu Ke couldn't help but choke on this information. He was indeed lagging behind. "Otherwise, you can also participate in the charity auction next week to see if you can encounter some different fates? What I mean is Yes, only by changing your mentality can you meet a different person."
"That charity auction that Annie and my mother participated in organizing together?" Logan reacted immediately, and then couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Lu Ke and muttered, "I just rejected my mother, to be honest, Are you the lobbyist she sent here?"
"Haha, you are free to attend or not. I just made a proposal." That's it, Lu Ke didn't say anything more.
The sound of the juicer came from the kitchen, rattling, rattling, extremely noisy.
Logan and Lu Ke exchanged glances, and then Logan complained loudly, "Tangtang, is your dinner tonight another kale juice? That green thing looks like Shrek Something that was beaten into juice?”
"Yes, yes." Candice's voice also came over, "What, do you have any objection? Or do you want to try it with me?" Kale juice is one of the hottest health foods now. First, because of its high fiber and low fat ingredients, it is known as a holy product for weight loss and body shape control. It does not increase fat and can bring satiety. Almost all top models are using this formula.
Logan made a gagging face, "That's not food, please!"
Candice poked her head out of the kitchen and winked playfully, "The food is put on the plates of your professional athletes. I don't think they are like food. They are devoured without being treated as food at all." Sweeped in, so I guess we still have something in common.”
