American winner takes all

Chapter 11
Century City, located in Southwest Westwood, is one of the largest commercial centers in Los Angeles.

This was originally the studio of Twentieth Century Fox. In 1956, the president of Twentieth Century Fox and his son-in-law decided to use this land for commercial real estate development.

But in 1961, Twentieth Century Fox, which was deeply burdened by several projects such as "Cleopatra" and had a tight cash flow, sold this land to developers. Today, this area alone is home to well-known department stores. Three, AMC [-]-screen auditorium, Fox Film Studio, Anne Fort Art Center, and several office buildings around it.

The first Din Tai Fung on the West Coast, the headquarters of ICM, one of the four major brokerage companies, and the global headquarters of Houlihan Lokey, a well-known investment bank, are all located in this valuable area.

And here, it is only a 5-minute walk from BHHS.

On Saturday afternoon, a pair of young men who were exceptionally tall and stood out among the crowd walked into the Macy's department store here.

"It's so hot." Catherine took off the dark red toad glasses she was wearing. These were her mother's sunglasses. She took them and borrowed them before going out.

She wore a pair of denim shorts today, and the hem of her T-shirt was tied into a knot, revealing her slender waist and shallow belly button.

Catherine has had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and she is naturally experienced in dressing up. She put on a little light makeup on her face and specially curled her hair before going out. She is a typical West Coast pretty girl.

Especially those extremely long legs. Because they are engaged in volleyball, they do not look thin at all. They are round, straight and slender. From the time they took the bus, they were particularly eye-catching along the way.

Without saying anything, the two went directly to the sporting goods area on the third floor.

There are actually only a few brands of rugby shoes to choose from.

Ethan even started looking for a Decathlon store.This is the inertia accumulated in the past life. There is no other reason because Decathlon is cheap and affordable.

It turned out not to be what he expected, there was no Decathlon in Macy’s department store.

Finally, after some selection, the two selected a pair of "Under Armor" brand rugby sneakers.

It’s that sports brand with double C’s stacked up and down, costing $159.

"Size 11.5, your feet are too big." Catherine exclaimed.

Her impression was still a few years ago, but when she thought about it, Ethan's growth rate in the past few years could be said to be very rapid...

Catherine's cheeks felt a little hot as she recalled the scene yesterday morning.

But he saw Ethan taking a step across and coming closer, and for a moment their cheeks were about to hit each other.

Catherine dodged subconsciously.

"I seem to have grown a little taller." Ethan gestured. He went to school with Catherine every day and had a deep understanding of the height difference between the two. At this moment, he found that he seemed to be a little taller.

"Can you tell me in advance if you can measure your height next time?" Catherine quickly walked forward holding Ethan's sneakers.

The two of them spent an hour on the road and a total of 1 minutes buying sneakers, so naturally they had to do more shopping.

"Does it look good?" Catherine was walking back and forth in the store wearing a pair of CL's high heels. Her movements were a little clumsy because she had not yet adapted.

Ethan could see it very clearly from this angle. Catherine's feet were white and smooth, and they were at their best like flowers. Her skin was supple and tender, with only slightly raised blood vessels and light-colored high heels.

Epic level, attack speed +200%.

Before Ethan could speak, Catherine immediately shook her head.

"They look good, but they make you sweat easily when you wear them. The smell is too bad when you take them off, so I still won't buy them."

This is like being critical of luxury cars. The bottom line is... because the manufacturer's cars are not well made.

But for Catherine, no matter what, these shoes are unaffordable now.

After coming out of the store, the two found that the center of the first floor was very busy. When they walked over, they found that a live event was being held, similar to a physical challenge between couples. The man and the princess hugged the woman. Who could do the most squats in 2 minutes? You will receive a $500 voucher.

Ethan turned to look at Catherine.

Catherine took a deep breath and smiled: "I'm very heavy...wait, what are you going to do!"

Before he finished speaking, he was pulled onto the stage by Ethan.

Seeing Ethan open his arms, she seemed a little embarrassed: "Why don't you forget it."

Then he looked at the audience and the host in the audience, and finally covered his head: "I'm too heavy, I definitely can't win."

Ethan picked her up without saying a word.

She said she was heavy, but that was compared to girls of average height, but she was not heavy at all for her height.Ethan first observed the competitors. They were all skinny, and there were two bloated and obese people. The only competitors were a middle-aged couple. The man must be at least about two meters tall, and the woman is only 1.5 meters tall. She looks bigger than the man. Waist higher.

What is the difference between this "one step to the stomach" combination and opening a cheat?
Before Ethan could complain, this round of competition had already begun. Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and began to squat.

"Are you okay?" Catherine subconsciously hugged Ethan's neck and saw that Ethan's face was already red.

"No...problem." Ethan stood up slowly, his legs already starting to tremble.

In any case, with such a big frame, Catherine must still have some weight.

From Catherine's angle, she could just see the "One Step to the Stomach" pair behind Ethan. Although the other party had a weight advantage, due to their age, the man's situation was not much better than Ethan's.

"Come on, we can win." In desperation, Catherine hugged Ethan tightly and tried her best to fit into his body.

It seems like the man is just exerting his strength, but in fact the woman also plays a very important role. This method can help Ethan save effort.

In the end, Ethan won almost through sheer force of will.

Although I was sweating profusely, it only took 2 minutes to exchange for 500 US dollars, which was still worth it.

After walking off the stage, Catherine put her cheeks in her hands.

"We won!" She said with joy on her face.

"You don't have to drink expired milk." Ethan nodded.

"You look tired." Catherine looked at the sweat on Ethan's forehead and wiped it away with her hands.

Looking at the cheek so close, Ethan carefully looked at her narrow eyelashes.

Catherine quickly retracted her hand and tapped the tip of Ethan's nose: "Don't let your imagination run wild, this won't work."

Who is Feifei?Really unfamiliar.

The two of them were going to the supermarket downstairs to buy some food, but Ethan had to go to the toilet temporarily.

Catherine waited there for almost 20 minutes. Just when she was gradually feeling impatient, someone tapped her shoulder.

When he turned around, it was Ethan.

"You may have to drink expired milk this month." Ethan took out a CL handbag from his back.

That being said, the box of milk was actually just an accident. He had been drinking the cheap, expired milk for half a month.

Catherine's mouth opened wide: "Did you buy these shoes?!"

Although he listed various disadvantages, "I look like a skyscraper when I wear these shoes", "I can't wear them in daily life", and "it's just a waste of money".

But when Catherine took the shoes over, she looked at them again and again, and she obviously liked them very much.

[He also deliberately said that he was going to the bathroom, and also learned to make girls happy.He can no longer be treated as a child. 】

Looking at Ethan next to her, Catherine suddenly realized.

At noon, the two had a meal at the nearby Zhong Ke Tower, and in the afternoon they went to the Fox Film and Television Base. This place is open to the public during normal hours, and there is no admission fee. Star Wars has been filmed here, including "" The building scenes that appeared in "Die Hard" were also shot outside the studio.

On the bus back, looking out the window at the same low-rise houses in Los Angeles, a wave of fatigue came over her, and Catherine yawned.

"Why do you feel more tired than training?" She said, her head fell down, and she was ready to rest on Ethan's shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Ethan suddenly leaned forward, causing Catherine's head to fall.

"That's not okay." Ethan imitated Catherine's previous tone.

"Okay or not, I have the final say. Please stretch your shoulders over here. I'm so sleepy." This time, Catherine not only pressed on Ethan's shoulders, but also hugged his entire arm, with a look of satisfaction on her face. .

Ethan's arms have strong muscles and are very solid when hugged, giving him an extra sense of security...

"Don't move." Catherine suppressed Ethan's big hand.
