Chapitre 21: Chapter 21: I Won't Wait
Daisy drove for a while, and Wade Dong thought his task should be considered complete.
Wade Dong asked, "Daisy, why do you keep pestering me?"
"Because I like you!" Daisy replied matter-of-factly.
Wade Dong felt a bit helpless, "Then tell me what you like about me, and I'll change it."
"I..." Daisy was about to tell Wade Dong what she liked about him, but she didn't expect Wade Dong to say that he would change whatever she liked about him.
Daisy thought for a moment, turned her head with a mischievous smile, and said, "I just like your face, how are you going to change that?"
"That really can't be changed." Wade Dong also smiled, "Actually, there's nothing about me that I can change, because I'm all advantages, no disadvantages."
"Hahaha..." Daisy was amused by Wade Dong's words.
Wade Dong glanced at Daisy, undeniably a very beautiful girl. Moreover, the reason Daisy was so annoying was just to get Wade Dong's attention.
This wasn't Daisy's fault; it was because Wade Dong was too outstanding.
"Daisy~" Wade Dong looked at Daisy, who was seriously driving, and said to her, "I already have a girlfriend."
"Huh?!" Daisy's body visibly shook, and she turned to look at Wade Dong again, "You're lying to me, right?"
"I'm not lying to you." Wade Dong shook his head, "Can you focus on driving? Turning your head like this is very dangerous."
"Oh." Daisy responded and stopped the car by the side of the road.
This time, she turned to look at Wade Dong again. Wade Dong said, "I was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and this was your doing, right?"
"Yes."
"Since you could find that photo, it should be easy to find out if I have a girlfriend. Just ask any student at Yanjing University."
"Oh." Daisy looked a bit disappointed, "Is that girl prettier than me?"
"Of course!" Wade Dong smiled, "Not only is she prettier than you, but she is also gentler, more considerate, more elegant, more refined, cuter, kinder, more generous than you..."
"Stop!" Daisy angrily said, "Am I that bad?"
Wade Dong smiled, "It's not that you're bad, it's that my girlfriend is too outstanding, so don't pester me anymore."
"I don't believe it!" Daisy smiled slyly, like a wild cat, climbing from the driver's seat to the back seat, "I don't believe men don't cheat, and besides, there's no such perfect woman in the world."
"Hey?! What are you doing?"
"You guess..."
"If you keep this up, I'll call someone."
"Go ahead, shout until your throat breaks, see if anyone comes to save you!"
"Broken throat! Broken throat!"
"I'm coming, you surrender..."
"Get lost!"
"Ah..."
Wade Dong opened the car door and got out, even straightening his clothes. The women in the M country were too crazy; he almost lost his innocence.
Daisy sat in the car, gritting her teeth, "Wade Dong, you wait for me!"
"I won't wait!" Wade Dong waved his hand and walked away without looking back.
...
The night wind in Phoenix City was a bit chilly.
It was already ten o'clock at night, and there was no point in going back to Dudley's house, especially since all four tires of the Ferrari had been deflated, and Dudley didn't know how to get home himself.
Fortunately, Daisy hadn't driven far, so Wade Dong decided to walk back to the stadium. It would take about an hour to walk back.
Tonight, he would just make do with staying in the team dormitory. However, walking on the streets of the M country so late at night made Wade Dong a bit nervous.
This wasn't like being in China. If it were China, Wade Dong would still be out with Li Pei and the others at three in the morning, having skewers and beer.
As he walked towards the stadium, Wade Dong turned on his phone. He wanted to chat with Li Jiajia.
However, as soon as he turned on his phone, dozens of text messages popped up, all notifications of missed calls. Wade Dong had expected this; many teams had been trying to contact him these days.
Wade Dong didn't respond to these calls; if he wanted to answer, he wouldn't have turned off his phone.
He deleted the text notifications one by one and opened his contacts to call Li Jiajia and chat. It should be noon in China now, and he wondered what Li Jiajia had for lunch...
"Darling, I watched your game, you played so well."
"Basic operation, no need to praise me..."
"Huh??"
"Haha... basic operation, no need to praise me~" Wade Dong explained, realizing that these slang terms weren't understood in this era, no wonder Li Jiajia didn't get it.
On the phone, Li Jiajia snorted, "Well, you're too full of yourself."
"Hehe..." Wade Dong smiled, "Have you eaten?"
"Yes, I had half a bowl of rice, green pepper stir-fried pork, **egg, and a bowl of soup. Zhuang Fei eats too much, she took half a bowl of my rice and ate two chicken legs..."
Li Jiajia chatted with Wade Dong about what happened at noon.
Wade Dong listened quietly, his mind filled with memories of the three years when Li Jiajia accompanied him through his most confusing times. His heart warmed, and after Li Jiajia finished talking, Wade Dong said, "You're too thin, you need to eat more."
"Oh." Li Jiajia responded, "What are you doing?"
"Me?" Wade Dong replied, "I'm still staying at Dudley's house tonight. I just got to the neighborhood and am walking to his house."
"Then go back and rest early, love you~"
"Love you~"
This call lasted about ten minutes. Li Jiajia was a bit concerned about Wade Dong's phone bill, so they both hung up.
Wade Dong didn't tell Li Jiajia the truth. If he said he was left on the side of the road by Daisy and had to walk back to the stadium for over an hour, Li Jiajia would definitely worry about him.
Wade Dong knew that Li Jiajia, who appeared delicate in front of him, was actually a very strong girl. She was a top student at Yanjing University, not a simple person, especially Li Jiajia, who was even more outstanding than her classmates. Without her strength, Wade Dong would have been ruined in his previous life.
However, not long after Wade Dong hung up the phone, another call came in.
It would still take half an hour to walk back to the stadium, so Wade Dong decided to answer the call. No matter who it was, chatting for a while would help pass the time.
"Hello, is this Mr. Wade Dong?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Great, let me introduce myself, I'm Rose from the Bulls team."
"Rose?" Wade Dong knew who Rose was and was surprised that she personally called him. He smiled, "Hello, idol."
"Idol, I can't accept that. I know your ten-day short contract is about to expire. Are you interested in joining the Bulls?"
Rose called to recruit Wade Dong and continued, "The Bulls are currently the top team in the East. With you joining, we will definitely win the championship this year."
"Thank you." Wade Dong declined, "I haven't considered joining other teams for now."
Rose paused for a moment, "Okay, but if you want to join the Bulls, remember to contact me. I will convince the team manager to give you a satisfactory contract."
After hanging up with Rose, Wade Dong thought for a moment and saved Rose's number in his phone.
