From sparring to superstar

Chapter 41 40. I have a hammer, do you need it?

On the second day, Li Ao got up early and went out to practice at the Memorial Stadium.

The apartment was decorated with a Christmas atmosphere, but the whole apartment was deserted. There was a big Christmas tree at the door of the apartment, but there were not many wishing cards on it.

Most of the people living here are students, and most of them are not international students. Some are local students living alone, and some are students from other cities and states who come to Los Angeles to study.

Yesterday afternoon, most people had left the apartment to go home for Christmas.

He was also lonely in the apartment, so he chose to sweat alone on the court.

It's a pity that even the old man is gone, and he doesn't even have a chattering companion.

Sometimes, there is no one to accompany, and the lonely training is not bad. When he practiced step-back shooting, he thought it was not good after practicing a few times. He could sit down and think about the basic skills of step-back taught by Xavier Johnson. When he thought of it, he thought it was okay Try the training method, and then train, don't worry about the trainer not being happy if you think about it for too long, and there is no interruption from the old man.

After soaking in the training field for a day, he paid the patrolling security 5 dollars in pain. After asking the other party to help with the catch and shoot training task, Li Ao returned to the apartment. He was thinking about Christmas Eve. A few dishes, the hospital assistant aunt is away, and she can secretly open a bottle of wine in the storage room to drink.

But he was deserted and alone, he didn't bother to cook, and was going to go out to find a place to eat.

There were not many shops open near the community. He drove out to find a place to eat, and he didn't want to stop when they were open.

He understood why some people like to go for a drive in a bad mood. With the windows open, the cold wind hits, and the melancholy that is not too much quickly recedes.

Unknowingly, he came to the beach, he went to the sea, he thought it was time to go back and get something to eat, the melancholy receded, and he was hungry.

Turning around to go home and driving, when he looked at the rearview mirrors on both sides, he saw a car parked on the side of the road with the hood open, and a beautiful woman standing in front of the car.

He stopped the car and looked over curiously.

It's not that he has become interested in women with a good figure. Every day, he can see beautiful women with a good figure. It's that the woman is knocking here and there with a wrench, and she is getting more and more irritable.

As a Chinese, how can I not watch this excitement?

He was curious, is this how the car is repaired?Why does it feel like the engine is going to blow up?
Looking at the rear, there was no car, and the beach was really quiet tonight, he backed up to the front of the broken car, got out of the car and asked, "Hi, beauty, do you need help... Are you Jessica Alba? "

Looking at the face of the woman who turned around, Li Ao raised his voice in surprise.

The Jessica Alba seen in the movie is dressed very coolly. Although the back view I saw just now shows her figure, but she wears jeans with long sleeves, her figure is shown, but you can’t see it without looking at her face. It's that sexy girl.

Jessica had noticed the stopped car earlier, and was quite scared at first, but when she saw the face of the person who got off the car... she was not so scared in an instant.

How could this handsome guy be a bad guy?
Seeing that the other party recognized her, Jessica was in a good mood. She raised her star frame and pouted towards the front of the car, saying, "You see, this car is disobedient and won't start."

Li Ao nodded and said, "So that's the case, no wonder you want to hit it."

Jessica: (-)?

Li Ao decided to help: "This little wrench is hard to blow up the engine. I have a hammer in the trunk. Do you need it?"

Jessica: (へ╬)
She was wrong, she was really wrong.

How can you think this guy is a good person?

So angry!
I used to be angry when the car broke down, but now I am even more angry!

If it weren't for seeing this boy's handsome appearance, she really wanted to punch him excitedly by a gangster.

(╬￣ dish￣) = ○# (￣#) [-]￣)
Li Ao suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something very owed again, how could he do this to a beautiful woman?

Let's help first!

He asked, "Could it be that you are repairing a car?"

Jessica asked angrily, "Can't you see it?"

"It's hard to see...you don't know how to repair a car, do you? If you smash it around like this, you can destroy it if it doesn't break. This car is really pitiful."

Jessica said angrily about the sarcastic remarks, "I want you to take care of it!"

What are you doing so fiercely?Well, it's really fierce.

Li Ao seriously suggested: "You should call a tow truck. If you move around, the car will really be scrapped."

Jessica pulled the hood off with a bang, leaned on the front of the car and said, "Do I look like an idiot? Of course I called a tow truck, but the guy who answered the phone said that the tow trucker was off today and he needed extra money to help." I tow."

"Then you agreed to add more money?"

"How is it possible? I bought insurance! I won't add money, I'm going to sue them!"

Li Ao: -_-||
Jessica said angrily, "What kind of eyes are you looking at? It's you rich people who spend money to solve all problems, and let them take advantage of it. This is what they should do. Why should I ask for more money?"

"Rich?" Li Ao asked in confusion, "I'm a poor student, how short-sighted are you to see me as a rich person? It's obvious that you celebrities are the rich."

Jessica looked at the car driven by Li Ao, then looked up at Li Ao, her eyes said: Are you kidding me?Poor students all drive cars like this, am I begging for food?

Noticing the other party's gaze, Li Ao explained: "I borrowed this car. My teacher is home for Christmas. He is worried that there will be no bus for me to go to the arena. Let me drive it for a few days."

Jessica Alba: [_?]
She took a look at Li Ao's clothes, and it was true that the clothes and pants were all cheap goods, and the most attractive thing about her whole body was that face.

But... how strange!Boys of this age, don't they all have swollen faces to pretend to be fat even if they are poor?
She became interested in the boy in front of her, which was very special.

She said: "Whoever said that being a celebrity must be a rich person? I didn't buy a second-hand car. It was scrapped after only a few days of driving. The damn salesman said it was for a housewife who doesn't know how to drive. Car, like brand new, liar!"

"Oh! It's the same as the college girl's self-use video card Jiujiuxin. I have also been tricked."

"What is a graphics card?"

"As an accessory for computers, unscrupulous businessmen who manufacture graphics cards deliberately inflate the price, and we poor students can only buy second-hand ones."

"Oh……"

This involves Jessica's knowledge blind spot, she doesn't understand, nor is she very interested.

Eh?Where did you see this face?

She took another look at the boy in front of her. He must be two meters tall, right?
She suddenly remembered the news she saw late the night before yesterday. The great Chinese student of the Trojans was going to be a talented pitcher who could score 33 points in a single NCAA game after a few months of playing!

She is also a basketball fan, but because of her parents' occupations, she moved from place to place since she was a child, so she is not very interested in the so-called "purest" student basketball. She usually only watches NBA games and doesn't know much about college basketball.

But in the United States, she also knows the influence of college basketball, and occasionally sees college basketball news.

She asked, "Are you that Leo from Southern California?"

Li Ao was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, you know me too? Have I already become popular in Hollywood? Do you think it's okay if I become an actor?"

"..." Jessica found out that the boy in front of her might be practicing shame every day. She complained, "If you become an actor, you will definitely become a professional boy with a handsome face, but it doesn't matter. You definitely won't think that being a vase is a shame." Disgraceful."

"Okay, stop chatting, it's so late, how about this, you put the vehicle failure sign there, and ask the tow truck to tow it away after they go to work, if you are unlucky, you can't help it if you are towed away by the traffic police. You can't wait here until they go to work, can you? If you encounter gangsters or something, you will be in danger. This is Los Angeles. I will take you back first. Are you staying in a hotel or home in Los Angeles? Make a decision quickly, my stomach I'm hungry, I want to go home for dinner." Li Ao rubbed his stomach as he said, he was really hungry.

"I've booked a hotel," Jessica said in a very unfriendly tone. She thought the boy was a good guy, although he was sloppy, but she was annoyed when she heard it later, and she refused, "But, you send If I go back to the hotel, news of our date will be everywhere tomorrow."

Li Ao shook his head and said, "No, you're not that popular yet."

Jessica: _.

This guy looks good in everything, handsome, tall, and he doesn't seem to be a bad person, with clear eyes... Only he has an extra mouth!

Wait, it's not that hot yet... Jessica asked in a teasing tone, "Do you think I'll be popular in the future?"

Li Ao nodded: "You look good, you have a good figure, and your acting skills are good. If you don't become popular, it doesn't make sense."

He can actually say nice things!

It's incredible.

Seeing that the other party seemed to want to hang around here, Li Ao said: "I'm really leaving, are you sure you don't want me to take you back to the hotel? By the way, don't your stars have managers? Call him to pick you up. "

Jessica was in a better mood after hearing the nice words, but she was upset again: "I just had an argument with my agent, and I drove out by myself, and I don't want to call him."

"why?"

"Why... why did you quarrel? He pushed the scene I just took!"

"There's... there's always a reason, right?"

"Because the show wanted me to appear naked, he refused to let me do that, I bought it, it's a big-budget literary film, do you know how rare such an opportunity is? What's wrong with making some sacrifices for the sake of art?"

"yes……"

"Do you think it's wrong to dedicate yourself to art?" Jessica said excitedly.

Li Ao shook his head: "No, I don't think it's right or wrong. I also like to watch beautiful women when I watch movies. When I see sexy figures, the cooler the clothes, the better. If it's a big beautiful star, it's better if she doesn't wear them. I appreciate this. A kind of so-called art... But if it is my friend, then it is another matter, I think your agent treats you as a friend, not as a tool to make money."

"..."

Jessica was silent, not only because of Li Ao's words, she also heard that Li Ao's tone quickly turned cold.

Although Li Ao's previous words made her half-deadly angry, she was always very enthusiastic. He said that he wanted to leave, but he didn't leave right away, and he could really hear that he was worried about her safety.

Not to mention, that feeling is quite warm in retrospect, completely different from the 'enthusiasm' of those who saw her and wanted to swallow her.

This time Li Ao didn't talk nonsense, but he couldn't feel the warm feeling at all.

She also seemed to hear a little disgust.

Wait, this boy, doesn't he think that she is the kind of person who is willing to do all sorts of dirty things just to get famous?

The sentence said that it is better not to wear clothes. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party, but felt that the other party thought there was something wrong with her.

Usually she doesn't care what others say, but this time she feels inexplicably wronged.

"If you still want to wait, just wait, I'll go first." Li Ao said as he walked to the side of the car and opened the door.

Jessica panicked. Before, the boy just said that he didn't move his feet. This time he really left. She asked with a hint of tears: "Are you really going to throw me here?"

Li Ao paused the action of getting into the car, and said in a helpless tone: "You won't let me take you to the hotel, and you won't call your agent, what do you want from me? How about I go back and report for you?" police?"

Jessica was about to cry, who is this!
Seeing that the other party's eye sockets were red, and the eye sockets could hardly contain the dew, Li Ao's heart softened.

Although he has already determined that he will not have follow-up contact with the future star in front of him, and if he does not become friends, he will be able to watch blockbuster movies without any psychological burden in the future. There should be no cut-down version in the United States...

But at this moment, he still didn't make up his mind to abandon the other party and leave directly.

Li Ao felt that he was really a kind person who had cultivated in the tenth life, and if it was someone else, he would definitely have kicked the gas pedal far away at this time.

After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked: "Then why don't you go to my apartment? There are vacant guest rooms in my teacher's house, and she plans to give them to guests. The last time my mother came to the United States, she lived in the same room." room, I'll go back and give her a call."

With this suggestion, Jessica didn't think the boy had any bad ideas, she really felt that if she refused again, the other party would definitely throw her here.

She asked, "Is your teacher a woman?"

Li Ao patted the roof of the car and said: "Otherwise, this red car can't be driven by a man."

Jessica hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went to the back seat to take out the luggage bag, went to the co-pilot of Li Ao's car, opened the door and sat in it.

It's impossible to call the agent, at least not tonight. The movie is another matter. I just had a quarrel this afternoon, and now I'm calling for help. She doesn't want to lose face!
Li Ao pouted, didn't say anything, got into the car and started the engine, and drove home.

It's quite a hassle to bring someone back. Let this future star leave early tomorrow morning to avoid more troublesome things.

After the car started, the two people in the car didn't speak.

With this atmosphere, Jessica felt a little bit relieved.

Well, she found that she was really rejected.

But she won't explain anything, at least not now, she has to hold her face!

Ten minutes later, the two arrived downstairs in a luxury apartment building.

After parking the car, Li Ao took the luggage bag from Jessica's hand and led the latter into the building.

Jessica couldn't help complaining: "You really live here? I thought you just parked your car here and said you're not a rich foreign student?"

Li Ao was puzzled, "What does my living here have to do with whether I am rich or not?"

Jessica asked, "Is the rent here not cheap?"

"300 yuan a month is not cheap."

Jessica's voice suddenly rose: "300 yuan a month? Is the landlord your relative? Or did you help him block the gun?"

"The landlord is a friend of my teacher. She negotiated the price for me. I heard that the landlord has a lot of real estate. He didn't pay much attention to my rent. Let's make friends. I'm also a student of USC. "

"I see……"

Although Jessica thought it was weird, she hadn't studied too much, she was a standard scumbag, and she yearned for a university campus, but she didn't have the qualifications to go to university on the basis of fame. She thought that college students from prestigious schools might be It will take advantage of some aspects.

A little envious.

She is actually not stupid, and she is a quick learner. When she first entered elementary school, she got A's in all grades, but her parents' work often required moving. She changed schools three times in one semester of elementary school. , dropped out of school after primary school.

When I grow up, I regret that I didn't study hard at the beginning, and it takes more time to read a script to understand the characters than others, but regretting is useless.

I have embarked on the path of an actor, so I can only keep going. Fortunately, in the past two or three years, I have gained some fame due to my performance in several TV dramas, and my acting career has started to go smoothly.

Li Ao took Jessica to the elevator, went to the 12th floor, came to the innermost part of the corridor, and opened the door of the auntie's house.

Jessica followed into the house, and looked at it while changing the slippers. The shoe cabinet in the hallway on the right is very large. If you count it, it can hold hundreds of pairs of feet. She glanced at the boy just now when he was picking up the new slippers. There are a bunch of shoes that I bought and probably haven't worn, but they are neatly placed.

On the left is the washbasin. This boy washes his hands after entering the house, which is very hygienic.

The living room is very big. The transparent curtain should be the kitchen. I saw the refrigerator. Besides, there are 4 doors. If one is the bathroom, there are 1 rooms. Judging from the size of the living room, the room should not be small... When Are university teachers so rich?

This location, this luxurious apartment, living in such a big suite?

Look at this boy's face again... Could it be that he is really a little boy?
