Brian Westbrook slowly parked the car, turning off the engine and pulling the key, while looking at the block through the window.

San Francisco is a city built on top of hills. The undulating special landforms form the city ’s unique landscape. The rolling street curves create a unique visual landscape. Standing on the top and standing at the foot of the mountain can capture A completely different outlook on life.

Now Brian is standing on a slope, the shaded green trees on both sides of the street rise along the north-south direction, and the houses with red walls and white roofs are intertwined among the large green areas, like Jack Beans in fairy tales. After planting, it grows into a big tree in the sky, rotates all the way up, and walks to the end of the line of sight, you can touch the light blue sky, sit in the lazy clouds, spy on the mystery of another world .

Colorful blue slate bricks, weird oak tree houses, worn canvas caravans, bicycles parked at random, hippie signs placed in bottles and jars, bright linen kerchiefs ... The fragmented color blocks on both sides of the street outline The bizarre scene of cultural fusion is the most special image of San Francisco.

This is the neighborhood where Lu Ke grows and lives. Unexpectedly, but reasonable.

In the impression, Asian immigrants are more enthusiastic about living in groups, Little Tokyo in Japanese, Koreatown in Korean, Chinatown in Chinese, even Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern immigrants with a relatively small number of immigrant groups. The overflowing is full of their own culture and customs, as if to open up a homeland in a foreign country.

It was indeed a small accident that Lu Ke's parents chose to settle here.

However, not all Asian immigrants live in the corresponding area. After all, San Francisco is the city with the most cultural diversity and harmony on the entire North American continent-even New York. If they want to choose another area, then the Haight-Ashbury area is indeed a reasonable choice.

Just a block visit, Brian began to outline Lu Ke's image in his mind.

It ’s not the 14th quarterback on the court. The young man, wearing a jersey and helmet, ca n’t see his face or eyes. It seems to be just a symbol of the team. "Quarterback" and "Rookie Lost", these labels are all; it is Lu Ke in life.

What kind of person is he? How about his parents? Under what circumstances did he grow up? What is his character? What is the style of being human? What is the difference and connection between the game style and private personality? Outside the court, what are his hobbies? What type of player is he?

Countless thoughts and countless doubts are blazing in Brian's mind.

In this way, it is really ridiculous. In competitive sports, only true top stars will be curious about his life and image outside the stadium, such as Tom Brady and his world supermodel wife Gisele-Bundchen, For example, Ben Rothsberg's **** / aggression / scandal / scandal.

As for the rookie players, compared to gossip and personal image, their first priority is to prove themselves on the court. No one cares, this rookie is "good or bad"; everyone cares, this rookie "could he play well?"

The same is true for Lu Ke.

The young man under the "fourteenth" jersey and helmet, what is the appearance and image outside the stadium, no one will care; instead of caring about these non-nutritive hype topics, it is better to discuss it. The third week of the game should be Choose Alex Smith, or continue to use this rookie quarterback.

However, Brian had a strong curiosity.

Not only because Lu Ke's rise is too magical, but also because Lu Ke's performance on the court is too amazing-not a number such as the quarterback score, but the heart of the brave at the critical moment. At that moment, Brian really forgot Lu Ke's "Chinese-American" identity, and was more of a victor in victory.

Looking around the whole block, trying to find the target building, Brian inadvertently caught the figure of a young man, pushed open the front door of the house, carrying two bags of garbage in his hand, walking at a brisk pace, and walked quickly come out.

A simple white T-shirt with light blue jeans, a pair of ordinary white canvas shoes, a dark blue baseball jacket, and black short hair are slightly messy in the gust of San Francisco, which can be vaguely outlined. There are young and energetic facial features, and there are still some juvenile temperaments.

The young man in front of him is Lu Ke.

There is no strong power to kill the Quartet on the court, no domineering to lead the team to a Jedi reversal, and no wit in the face of media whispers. It seems to be an ordinary young man who is obediently helping the family to complete the housework. Li whispered and complained, but all the work should be done honestly.

"Bambi," this was the first impression Brian had in his mind.

In the eyes of Westerners, Asian faces are always younger, more accurate and unable to recognize the signs of age; not to mention, Lu Ke was under twenty-two years old and had just graduated from college. For Brian, who has been beating for many years, it is a green hairy boy.

At this time, this impression is even more profound. If someone says that Lu Ke is a high school student, Brian will also believe it.

However, this is not a good thing for rugby. The strangeness and suspicion of the Asian face has always filled people with doubts; and the rookie's youth and jerky did not help. It is conceivable that Lu Ke still needs to complete many, many challenges on the road to winning fan approval.

Opening the car door, Brian did not catch up, but stood across the street, watched landing Ke trot to the corner of the bottom of the street, throwing away garbage; and then watched landing Ke trot back.

"Good morning, Lu Ke." Then, Brian greeted, "Isn't today garbage day?"

In such a community, there are two ways to deal with garbage.

One is a fixed garbage day, usually four times a week, and the elapsed time is also fixed. Every household packs the garbage and puts it in front of the house, the garbage truck will come to collect it, but if you miss the time to collect garbage, Then you must choose another method, otherwise it will be treated as littering.

The other is to carry the garbage in person and go to the large garbage bins in the neighborhood. Such a bin is often only a few blocks away, and the road is far away. Therefore, in the United States, people often joke: drive to throw garbage. This is not a joke, but what happens in real life.

"Tomorrow is." Lu Ke stopped and said with a smile, "There are guests at home today, so my mother is cleaning." Luke chuckled slightly, "You look very strange, I have never seen you near here. I guess you should be the guest you visited today? "

"Brian Westbrook, 'San Francisco Chronicle'." Brian hurried forward and greeted with a big smile, "Sorry, I hope my arrival will not disrupt your daily life."

Brian expressed a polite but heard Lu Ke said, "There is nothing to disturb. However, my parents specifically took a day off; then cleaned in advance and prepared lunch; and, privately, my mother even put on makeup Then, my father specifically found a set of formal clothes that would not be too grand. Besides that, nothing disturbed. "

Brian's facial expression couldn't help but slightly twitch, this ... is it a joke?

However, Lu Ke didn't mean to be joking at all, and took Bryan seriously into the house, "Dad, Mom, the reporter came."

Brian's mood suddenly rose up and down, uneasy to know how to deal with it.

Interview athletes? It ca n’t be counted too many times; but visit the homes of Asian immigrants? This is definitely the first of its kind. Brian regretted it a bit, and I should google it last night. Is there any etiquette to pay attention to when visiting Chinese people's homes? Should he bring gifts? He glanced at his empty hands, and he wasn't too sure. Was it too rude?

In a frantic imagination, a middle-aged man appeared in sight. Brian seemed to get a psychological hint, and he began to look at each other's clothing involuntarily: a light gray vertical striped shirt with a navy blue suit pants, look There is no reason why, but it is indeed polite.

"Welcome, welcome." Lu Zhengzheng greeted with a smile, and naturally greeted, "How about, the parking nearby is smooth? This is just good for the uphill position. The first time you come, the parking is always A challenge. Rear-end collisions occur almost every week. "

Relaxed and natural, it doesn't seem to be tense at all; and simple and casual topics can easily open up the situation. But Brian was a bit unsure. Was the opening speech prepared in advance?

Immediately after that, Brian saw Jiang Youning, who was wearing an apron, leaned out of the kitchen and greeted him with a smile, "I'm Anne, should you be Brian? Sorry, I haven't finished packing yet, so It looks a little rude. Please give me a little time, and I will be ready soon. Excuse me, do you need any drinks? "

Brian ’s eyes were looking at Jiang Youning, but then he heard Lu Ke ’s chuckles in his ears, and he realized his rudeness, and quickly withdrew his eyes, "Water, water is all right; if there is Then, juice or soda would be better. "

Feeling the nervousness and panic of Brian, Lu Ke finally couldn't help it anymore, and he laughed aloud, "It's okay, I just had a little joke with Brian. He seemed serious."

Brian looked up sharply, and then he saw Lu Zhengzheng and Jiang Youning suddenly realized the expression. Jiang Youning shook his head helplessly and shook his head, said to Brian, "He always likes to joke, you don't have to take it seriously."

Brian looked at Lu Ke and filled his head with question marks: So, all the remarks just now were jokes?
