American winner takes all

Chapter 22 "Star Wars Trilogy"

"Rice? This bastard has caused trouble for me and his father. Fortunately, he has nothing to do with me now. This mess has to be handled by his father." Lisa laughed when she heard Ethan's question.

"You can't imagine what kind of trouble he can cause. Just a few days ago, a young woman in the school was pregnant. I heard that the two met at the homecoming dance. Rice, this idiot, even took the girl's brother He was injured."

And this thing?Ethan didn't expect that a box of low-quality Trojans could have such a big chain reaction, but this kind of thing can be big or small.

"I hung out with people from Moreno High School before, and those people were sent to prison." Lisa shook her head repeatedly.

There was no hint of disappointment in his son in his words.

Moreno High School?Ethan knows this place and can be understood as a high school for "troubled teenagers".Catherine had a friend who dropped out of BHHS due to poor grades and later transferred to another school.

Ethan also heard from Rice about friends who were "sent to jail", and it seemed that he had some insights.

In addition, his father's unclear relationship with BHHS means that no matter what the three things combined, Rice must avoid the limelight.

Ethan doesn't need to have any "accidental encounters", this method is silent...

"How are your grades?" Lisa asked at this time.

"good."

"Do you have a favorite university?"

"Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Yale are all fine." Ethan said confidently.

"The goal is quite ambitious." She forked a piece of steak, opened her mouth, and did not eat it immediately. She deliberately paused for a few seconds, then slowly put it into her mouth, chewing it with relish.

"But now I have encountered another troublesome thing..." Ethan began to talk about the family changes.

"Is this why you play?" Lisa thought of something.

"Almost, since I have no one to rely on, I have to rely on myself." Ethan put on a high-spirited look.

"Heroes are those who are not easily knocked down by life." She raised another glass of wine.

What Lisa said was true. When a person falls from a height, it is not easy to muster the courage to face everything again.

"You are much better than your father." Lisa nodded.

"Come here to play more often. If you need help with anything, just ask me. Don't force yourself." She looked at Ethan.

"Yeah." Ethan nodded.

If you shirk it at this time, the drama will be over.

"Have you ever drank alcohol before?" Lisa asked again.

"Drinking on St. Patrick's Day, you know, the Irish don't drink."

"Of course I know. They will always talk to you after drinking. Do you know why half of the commanders are of Irish descent? Maybe this is the reason." She responded with a smile.

"Then who are you?"

"I am a Slavic, and my ancestors immigrated to America at the end of the 19th century and have been living in Ohio," she explained.

In 1994, a full 1040 million people in the United States claimed to be of Slavic descent, accounting for 4.1% of the total population. For comparison, there were actually only 500 million Jewish Americans.

During the meal, the smile on Lisa's face grew more and more, and she would stare at Ethan for a long time, becoming more and more fond of this young man.

After eating, the two continued the interview, and then Lisa took Ethan to wander around the house. She showed Ethan her collection of modern art.

She has a special darkroom for exhibitions, and from the outside, you can't tell that there is a door here.

There is a dazzling array of things inside. There is a shell in the glass cabinet that looks like it is made of pure gold. Inside is a heart made of red diamonds. The most special thing is that this heart is still beating. Under the light, it looks coquettish. Beauty.

Lisa introduced that this was a surrealist work of art by Salvador Dali called the Royal Heart. It was just a replica of the original work in Spain, Dali’s hometown.

In addition, it also includes one of Andy Howall's "Marilyn Monroe" and other various artworks and sculptures, which I won't go into details.

"You might need to call home. You'll have to go back a little later today." Lisa squeezed Ethan's shoulder.

"I also have a private theater here. We can watch a few movies, what do you think?"

"Why not."

But when she saw Ethan calling "Mom" on the phone, Lisa suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

I also have a son as old as Ethan.

Ethan also has a mother.He even met her himself.

What would Ethan's mother think if she knew about this?If you take a closer look, you will know how angry and desperate this is for a mother.

This is like deceiving a young man. The feelings in his mind are not the same as the feelings he understands.

This has nothing to do with whether she likes him or not. On the contrary, she likes Ethan even more.

But the more this happens, the less I want this pure feeling to deteriorate.

With such complicated thoughts, she and Ethan went to the private theater at home together. The quiet black room had a huge screen. "Would you like to watch Star Wars? You young people like these ding-dong-dong movies the most." she suggested.

Ethan did not refuse. As soon as the movie started playing, Ethan grabbed her hand. Lisa resisted for a while, but did not continue to struggle or break away. She was in a contradictory state inside.

Of course Ethan understands this mentality, she hesitated and regretted, which is very common.

Usually, at this time, the final step is just around the corner, so it is natural to be decisive when it is time to be decisive.

"Maybe we shouldn't..." Lisa was mid-sentence, her mouth was blocked, and she became weak.

Although she kept saying that she shouldn't be like this with Ethan now, she finally became submissive in the face of Ethan's silence.

On the screen, the Jedi warriors entered the Death Star, and the stormtroopers fired at the Jedi warriors. Waves of bullets were like a storm.

With a crisp sound, the back of the chair was directly crushed, and Lisa fell to the ground.

"Do you regard me as your opponent on the court?" She gave Ethan a gesture, as if his whole body had fallen apart and then been put back together again.

"Have you ever seen those documentaries about the elephant-trunk natives of a primitive tribe in Africa?" She spat out the ends of her hair.

"Thank you for the compliment. The movie is only halfway through and we have just entered the plot." Ethan smiled.

As a qualified popcorn movie, Star Wars highlights a big scene of gunfire and clanging sound effects.

But after the movie was played, Ethan didn't even know what the movie was about.

Lisa's long black hair was stuck together with sweat, and she felt as if she had just run a marathon.

"Do you want me to have a baby?" She was speechless.

Because Ethan didn't understand anything, she told Ethan that what he did just now was very dangerous and would give birth to a baby.

"You go take a shower and then go home." She felt her mouth was dry.

Ethan shook his head: "Star Wars is a trilogy, and I have just finished watching the first part."

"What?!" Lisa exclaimed, her voice squeaking at the end.

·
Ethan very honestly finished watching the Star Wars trilogy at her house, it was already late at night.

"I'll ask the driver to drive you back. You have my phone number. Contact me then." Lisa looked at Ethan who was dressed neatly after taking a shower, and even took the initiative to help her organize her clothes.

Like a guardian sending his son off to school.

"It's just these two days, do you have time?" Ethan fiddled with his freshly dried hair.

"Be careful, you can't even hold the ball firmly on the court." She rolled her eyes at Ethan.

But having said that, young people are energetic, just like a perpetual motion machine.

This afternoon was like a feast for her, and she regained the long-lost feeling of youth.

It's like being reborn.She was obsessed with this state.

The only fly in the ointment is that Ethan completely turned a deaf ear to what he said. He was very careless and feared that he didn't want to be a father.

"Call me in advance when the time comes," she said.

Ethan nodded. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the goal was achieved, and there were unexpected gains.

As the driver took him back, Ethan touched his pocket and found that Lisa had stuffed a wad of U.S. dollars inside, containing 3000 yuan.

This is more than the monthly salary of an ordinary wage earner.

I guess it was because I heard about the accident at home and was afraid that I would be embarrassed to take it, so I stuffed it into my pocket while I was taking a shower.

Lisa, you think too much. This is your wish. How could I not want it?Ethan looked at the night scene outside the car window.

·
At the same time, Lisa was on the phone with an old friend.

"Don't call me this again in the future." Lisa said.

"What's going on? Are you getting married?" the woman on the other end of the phone asked. Judging from her voice, she was about the same age as Lisa.

"No way." Lisa laughed.

"You didn't reject everything, which means you are in love. Which company does the other person belong to? Or is it a celebrity, Johnny Depp? Sean Connery?" the other party immediately asked.

"I won't tell you, but don't think too much." Lisa smiled and hung up the phone.

At this moment, the landline at home rang again. Lisa answered the phone with a smile on her face:
"Arrived home so soon? Go to bed early today."

You must know that the Star Wars trilogy lasts almost 6 hours in total. Including the rest time, it is more intense than playing rugby all afternoon. Thinking about it, it is quite hard for him.

"Who are you?" came an irritable young female voice on the other end of the phone.

　Thank you to Lin Dimian for sending 1 monthly ticket, thank you to Qingyu Tang for sending 1 monthly ticket again, thank you to Long Kui for sending 1 monthly ticket, thank you to Huangming Xuanfu Town Ma Junxiaoqi for sending 1 monthly ticket again
