Silently Writing
Chapter 404 An Earthquake Strikes, Flying Pig Cries…
Talk?
In the living room, after glancing down at Britney, Su Feng felt a twinge in his kidneys.
Seriously, even battling Artest and Kobe for three hundred rounds on the court wasn't as exhausting to Su Feng as studying English with Britney for an hour.
However, no matter how hard or tiring it was, Su Feng would never give up any opportunity to learn English with Britney.
Because learning is just so simple and unadorned, always making Su Feng happy.
But...
On the sofa, just as Su Feng was preparing to use his big paws to learn the word "kuan yi jie dai" (undress) with Britney...
Guess what?
Britney nimbly dodged to the side.
Su Feng: "......"
This was awkward.
Due to a prolonged lack of "training," Su Feng actually forgot the knack for breaking the full-court press with two hands at this moment.
And what was even more embarrassing was that just as Su Feng was preparing to do a carp jump and launch another attack on Britney...
Who would have thought that Britney would actually take the initiative on the sofa!
Su Feng: "!!!"
Is this the female benefactor from the US of A?
Love it, love it.
At this moment, Su Feng, pinned to the sofa by Britney, had completely given up resisting.
However, what puzzled Su Feng was...
He was already being so cooperative, but why wasn't Britney launching her attack yet?
"Su, listen to me, I'm serious about this, we really need to talk."
Looking down at Su Feng, who she had pinned to the sofa, Britney said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Su Feng opened his eyes, took in the incredible view, and then nodded, "Of course, we can start talking anytime."
Pfft!
Britney was amused by Su Feng.
"I mean talk about serious things, Su." To avoid Su Feng misunderstanding again, Britney deliberately emphasized the words "serious things" this time.
But...
"Of course it's serious, I said, we can start talking anytime." On the sofa, Su Feng, who was being bullied by Britney to the point of having no power to fight back, said solemnly to Britney.
Britney: "......"
Helpless.
Since Su Feng was never on the same wavelength as her, Britney had no choice but to first teach Su Feng English for 30 minutes.
(Ten thousand words omitted here)
"By the way, what were you going to talk to me about earlier?" 30 minutes later, Su Feng asked Britney curiously, looking at her.
"Do you remember what I told you about him before?" Leaning on Su Feng's shoulder, Britney said with a gloomy face.
Su Feng nodded.
And then, under Britney's narration, Su Feng patiently listened to a long and boring story.
"So, how do you want to handle the relationship between you and him?" Su Feng asked.
"I don't know... because he is, after all, my father.
But Su, you know what, I'm really getting more and more afraid of him..." Britney said to Su Feng.
Hiss————!
Difficult.
Too difficult.
As the saying goes, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family affairs.
Su Feng felt that he was really something else in this lifetime.
Because not long ago, he had just helped Kobe and his parents resolve their conflict, but now...
Another confused young woman had come to him for help. What was with all this messed up stuff?
To be honest...
If this kept up, Su Feng felt that he might as well become the host of an emotional counseling program after he retired.
The ratings would definitely explode.
And just as Su Feng was wondering how to help Britney, Britney suddenly changed the subject and, staring at Su Feng with her big eyes, asked a soul-searching question:
"Su, what kind of relationship do you think we have right now?"
Good heavens!
Listening to the question Britney threw at him, Su Feng immediately thought, "Good heavens!"
Because he had almost blurted out the word "**" just now.
"I think... we should be very close friends, right?" After looking down at Britney, Su Feng replied.
"Then why don't we...
'Break up'!" The next second, Britney said to Su Feng very seriously.
"Okay, sure." Su Feng nodded with a smile.
At this time, Britney was not calm.
"No, I'm telling you we're breaking up, why don't you have any reaction at all?" Britney looked at Su Feng with a confused face.
After shrugging, Su Feng smiled and said, "Because according to our previous agreement, it's time for us to 'break up' now."
Bang, bang.
After fiercely kneeing Su Feng's nether regions twice, Britney said angrily, "Be serious, Su."
Su Feng: "......"
Hey...
You can talk about things, but can you not resort to violence?
On the sofa, after comforting his little brother for a while, Su Feng said helplessly, "Haven't you already found a way to solve the problem?
So, why do you have to force me to give you ideas?"
Looking up at Su Feng, Britney said relentlessly, "That won't do, because as my boyfriend, you have to take the blame for this."
Su Feng: "......"
What a domineering reason, I can't refute it!
"However, are you sure that this way, you'll be able to deal with your troublesome dad?" Seeing as Britney had been teaching him English for so long, Su Feng asked with concern.
"I don't know, but since he's the one who brought it up, why shouldn't I just go along with his wishes?" Britney said with a sly smile.
Su Feng: "......"
No exaggeration.
Su Feng always felt that after being around him for a while, the people around him were becoming more and more cunning.
"No problem, for the sake of your 'filial piety' with your father, I'll definitely help you with this." Touching Britney's head, Su Feng said.
At this time, Britney suddenly threw a new question at Su Feng.
"Then next, how should we get along?" Britney asked curiously.
"Didn't I just say it? We've always been close friends!"
Holding Britney's slender waist, Su Feng, who had recovered from his earlier pain, decided to take the opportunity to review the technique of breaking the full-court press with both hands.
And with Britney's silvery laughter ringing out, another unique spiritual exchange began in the living room...
…
July 1st, US time.
As the first day of the NBA free agency market, just as people were curiously guessing what big things would happen this summer...
Suddenly, an earthquake struck, making the whole world go crazy.
Because on the morning of the 1st, Britney and Su Feng had officially announced their "breakup" through their agents.
Major American television stations all interrupted their programming to broadcast this news.
The last time there was such a spectacle was when Michael Jordan made his comeback.
In just a few hours, people went from being confused to curious to angry. Almost instantly, Britney's father was labeled as the "number one villain" by the American people.
Because in the news program, Britney tearfully told the world that because her father was threatening to die, she had no choice but to end her sweet relationship with Su Feng.
And after Britney released the chat call between her and her father...
Now, it was the turn of the American Chinese and the rabbits from Rabbit Country to be angry.
Because in this phone call of about 20 minutes, it was easy to find that Britney's father mentioned words related to racial discrimination in at least three places.
"I really can't believe that such a thing can still happen in the free and peaceful United States!"
"Although Su is Chinese, I have always supported his relationship with Britney.
To be honest, I can't imagine how harsh Britney's father is to Britney in his daily life."
"Let that bastard get out of America! What right does he have to stop Su and Britney, this 'golden couple'!"
"I swear to God, Britney's father's remarks do not represent the position of the American people.
In fact, as an American, I have always liked China!"
Tsk tsk...
Seriously, Su Feng never expected that Britney's little head would suddenly get enlightened.
Because although as someone who had been through it, Su Feng knew very well that Britney and her father would definitely have conflicts, how could he have imagined that Britney would think of using public opinion to escape her father's clutches this time as the "mastermind"?
And as Britney's "accomplice," Su Feng didn't have any psychological burden towards Britney's father.
In Su Feng's previous life, in order to turn his daughter into his money-making machine, Britney's father even went so far as to shape his daughter into a demented and insane mental patient.
And in January 2008, on a cold afternoon, without notifying Britney, he actually applied to the court to deprive Britney of her personal freedom.
And from then on, Britney began her self-destructive second half of her life.
Therefore, Britney's old man, this kind of person...
In Su Feng's opinion, he was completely unworthy of sympathy.
Moreover, not to mention that he would no longer be an obstacle between him and Britney in the future, just his remarks, which were even more Morey than Morey, Su Feng felt that this guy deserved to die.
Of course, the main reason why Britney was so smart this time, thinking of using public opinion to escape her father's clutches, was because she felt what real freedom was while learning Chinese with Su Feng.
You might not believe it.
During this time in Toronto, it may have been the most relaxed and comfortable time in Britney's life.
Therefore, when her old man repeatedly instilled in her the idea of using Su Feng to further expand her reputation, under Su Feng's inspiration, Britney also began her road of "filial piety," planting mines for her old man.
As a result...
Seeing that his daughter was fascinated by Su Feng, someone who was afraid of losing Britney, this cash cow, naturally jumped into the big pit that Britney had carefully prepared for him.
And originally, Su Feng was also worried about how he should continue the next step of development with Britney.
After all, if you were to say that the two were really a couple...
Su Feng always felt that something was strange.
Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity to "break up," Su Feng felt that he and Britney had really made a killing.
First, the traffic for the entire summer had been earned by himself and Britney.
Second, if Britney and he didn't really break up, then I'm afraid that her old man would still have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
But now...
He was only one step away from being buried by the angry American people.
Third...
After the storm had passed, if he and Britney wanted to continue to the next step, then Su Feng felt that it was still very necessary for him to confess to Britney once.
As for the relationship between him and Britney before the next step arrived?
On the evening of the 1st, just as Su-Britney CP fans all over the world were feeling sad for these two people...
In Su Feng's villa...
Su Feng felt that if he didn't stop Britney quickly, then it was very likely that his villa would be burned down by Britney in the next second.
"Hey... I'm saying... have you never even been in the kitchen since you were so old?" Looking at Britney, who was in a mess in the kitchen, Su Feng said speechlessly.
Hearing this, after giving Su Feng a sweet smile, Britney answered confidently, "No."
Su Feng: "......"
Alright...
Su Feng felt that if he wasn't going to be angered to death by Kobe in the future, then he would definitely be "poisoned to death" by Britney.
"What kind of people have I met?" That day, Su Feng silently thought to himself with pain and joy.
…
Speaking of which, just as Su Feng and Britney successfully contracted the media's manuscript fees for the entire summer through their "breakup"...
TNT TV station...
Charles Barkley was also conducting the most heartbreaking interview of his life.
In Su Feng's previous life, Barkley, who was originally supposed to retire halfway through the 99/00 season, did not choose to retire in this life for some reason.
And after noticing that someone had forgotten about him, Barkley decisively decided that it was time for him to remind that bastard.
Barkley, who had a good personal relationship with Su Feng, knew that Su Feng's biggest hobby was watching basketball programs on TNT TV.
So, taking advantage of Smith's invitation to visit TNT TV, Barkley began his crazy hints at the beginning of this program.
For example, when introducing himself, he didn't hesitate to ridicule himself as an unwanted player.
For example, when the host of TNT TV, Derek, was talking to him, Barkley repeatedly emphasized in the program that he had not retired, but was just unwanted.
However, perhaps feeling that Barkley's self-deprecating program effect was not enough...
During the recording of the program, because Barkley kept arguing that Yao Ming would become a super center in the future, Kenny Smith directly complained: "Hey, Charles, when can a player who has never won a championship...
Be able to talk so grandly in front of a player who has won two championships?" Pointing to his head, Smith continued to fire at Barkley.
And hearing this...
Barkley exploded on the spot.
Because you know...
Kenny Smith didn't just say this one sentence!
"Charles, do you know why some people can win two championships by cooperating with Hakeem and Clyde, while some people can't even make it to the Finals?" Smith continued to fire at Barkley, pointing to his head.
And now...
Barkley couldn't bear it anymore.
Seriously, if it wasn't for the thought that he might have to hug the thigh of this little guy in front of him after he retired in the future, Barkley would have just given Smith an iron elbow.
"Kenny, as an excellent basketball program host, I think you should reduce some personal attacks on guests.
Moreover, don't you think that your remarks that Yao will definitely become a super center in the future are too absurd?
Oh, God, we haven't even watched one of his games, why can you be so sure that he will become a player like Shaq?
Is it just because he is Su's compatriot?
But, don't forget, Su's compatriot also has a player named Wang... Zhi... Zhi." Enduring the anger in his heart, Barkley continued to debate with Smith.
"But Charles, why do you think that Yao will not become a super center?
He has height, speed, and even an accurate shooting touch.
And buddy, it's already the 21st century, if you don't understand Yao, then I think you can go online more.
Oh, by the way, dear Charles, maybe you are too old and don't know how to surf the Internet.
Because if you would submit your resume online, then I think you are very likely to have found a job." Looking at Barkley, who was being played by him in the palm of his hand, Smith was so happy at this moment?
Of course, Smith dared to complain about Barkley so much because he and Barkley had been teammates.
In addition, after these two people quarreled, the ratings of TNT TV also rose a lot invisibly.
In Su Feng's previous life, after a few more years, Barkley and Smith's bickering would become a fixed column of TNT TV.
And when O'Neal also joined the TNT comedy group, it would be even more amazing.
But...
Even if Barkley was generous, he couldn't stand being rubbed on the ground by Smith all the time!
"Let me just say this...
If Yao can get 2 in a game next season... no, 30...
If he can get 30 points in any one game, then dear Kenny, I am willing to kiss your ass." In order to reverse the situation between him and Smith, Barkley bet with Smith.
"Oh, come on, I don't want you to kiss my ass." Hearing this, Smith refused Barkley's bet.
Now, it was Barkley's turn to be proud.
"Haha, did you see that, ladies and gentlemen, this is your favorite Kenny.
Now, he has surrendered to the great Charles Barkley." Barkley, who was in a very happy mood, stared at the lens in the hands of the cameraman and said.
After being provoked by Barkley, Smith couldn't help it.
"Alright, alright, that's what you said, Charles.
As long as Yao can get 30 points in any one game next season, then you have to fulfill this bet." Smith looked at Barkley and said.
"Of course. But what if you lose?" Barkley asked back.
"Then I'll kiss your ass on the show!" Smith responded decisively.
In front of the TV, when Su Feng saw this scene...
What else could Su Feng say?
To be honest...
Su Feng felt that Xiao Yao's 30 points in a single game next season were already stable.
Because with Barkley's big mouth blessing, even a dead person could be revived by him.
It is worth mentioning that after Barkley participated in the program that day, he also called Su Feng as soon as possible.
Couldn't wait any longer.
Barkley couldn't wait any longer.
After being seriously stimulated by Smith in this program, Barkley felt that he had to remind Su Feng to invite him.
However, what disappointed Barkley was...
Not to mention the invitation, in the phone call, after he had hinted at Su Feng in various ways, Su Feng actually said that he had long forgotten the content of their conversation when they met in Houston last time!
Hey...
You can forget such a big "flying pig" like me?
"Su, let me be honest with you, as long as the Raptors can give me a mid-level exception, then I will fly to Toronto to assist you." In the phone call, if he could, Barkley didn't want to lose face to ask Su Feng...
But the reality was cruel.
Because, as soon as he finished saying this, Su Feng directly hung up the phone.
Barkley: "......"
In addition, a few seconds later, a text message also appeared on Barkley's phone.
"Mid-level exception? Why don't you go rob the Federal Reserve?"—"My dear little brother, Charles Barkley's helper, Su Feng."
"Su, I'm not kidding you, I really want to play a season with you.
Do you know, I was originally planning to retire, but because of you, I gave up my plan to retire."
Helpless, since Su Feng didn't give him face, then Barkley could only use the ultimate move of relying on the old and selling the old.
But...
"Then you should still retire, Charles, really." Su Feng replied bluntly.
Barkley: "......"
Hey!
Give me some face, okay?
I am, after all, a figure who was as famous as Jordan back then!
Su Feng: As famous? Then I have also played Jordan!
Barkley: ......。
"Okay, I lost.
Su, I think with your influence in the Raptors, it shouldn't be difficult for the team management to give me a veteran's minimum salary, right?"
In Su Feng's previous life, as one of the most greedy players in the NBA, one can imagine how desperate Barkley was at this moment when he said the words "minimum salary."
But...
As long as he could shut that damn Kenny Smith up, then what if he didn't get paid to play?
Anyway, he Barkley had already made enough money in his life!
Just as Barkley finally gave up his damn pride, in the phone call, Su Feng also performed the Rabbit Country's preserved program for Barkley:
—Sichuan Opera "Face Changing."
"No problem, Charles, when can you come to Toronto?" Su Feng said with a smile.
Hearing this...
Barkley always felt that Su Feng was doing it on purpose!
He was just bullying himself, this honest person.
Ahem...
Actually, Barkley really misunderstood Su Feng.
Because if he could, Su Feng would never save money for the capitalists.
It's just that, at the moment, even with McGrady leaving the team and Bogues retiring, the Raptors' salary cap was already close to the luxury tax line.
And in the situation where the situation was getting more and more chaotic next season, how could Su Feng let the Raptors use the team's valuable mid-level exception on Barkley?
It wasn't that Su Feng didn't talk about friendship.
It was just that the NBA rules didn't allow it.
Therefore, Su Feng had already thought about it.
After Barkley came to Toronto, he would take him to buy stocks and make a fortune together.
Helpless, the Raptors were just a small team, and the boss's financial resources were really limited.
Moreover, for Su Feng, who was familiar with Barkley's personality, he didn't want to see a haughty "flying pig" who was pointing fingers at young players in the locker room.
What he wanted to see was a conscientious veteran who was willing to pursue his dreams with him.
Therefore, on the surface, Su Feng's operation was bullying an honest person.
But in reality, he was just solving some problems that might occur in the future in advance.
All in all...
Heaven knows how much he, Su Feng, had paid behind the scenes for the Raptors?
…
ps: Barkley, who you have been chanting about, is here. By the way, is there any god who dares to predict how many technical fouls the Raptors will receive in total next season? Also, does anyone dare to guess Xiao Yao's stats?
ps2: Thanks to Dongjie Laomao for crowning this book with the title of Grand Alliance! Thanks again to Dongjie Laomao for the reward of the Grand Alliance! (Also, I seem to have forgotten to thank many alliance leaders, is there any mature alliance leader who can mention me?)
