Chapter 232 An Assist from My Cousin
"Sigh, stop asking people like this, it's more and more like checking household registration!" Zhou Jing felt a little sorry for her parents and relatives who kept questioning Xie Kai, and felt that everyone was a little too gossip.Of course she knew that everyone was doing it for her own good, cared about her, and was afraid that she would make friends carelessly, but it was unfair and embarrassing to Xie Kai!
Xie Kai signaled Zhou Jing with his eyes that he was fine. He knew that although asking about personal matters in the United States was considered to involve personal privacy, it was a kind of impolite behavior.But this is China. In China, when relatives and friends ask you about things, it is out of concern and love.He quickly replied with a smile: "That's right, I studied economics at the University of Kansas. After studying for two years, I participated in the NBA draft and entered the NBA after being selected!"
"What is the NBA?" A middle-aged relative who looked like an aunt asked doubtfully.
"This is English, Xiao Xie is in the United States!" Another uncle-like relative said.
"Brother, I watched the NBA show on TV on CCTV, playing basketball!" Another younger middle-aged man said in Zhou Jing's father's ear.
"Xiao Xie, are you an athlete?" Dad Zhou asked.
Xie Kai nodded and said, "Yes, I'm a basketball player!"
"Oh, no wonder you are so tall, Xiao Xie, are you two meters tall?" Mother Zhou asked.
Xie Kai said truthfully: "Auntie, I am not two meters tall, but more than 1 meters!"
The relatives here were still chatting with Xie Kai, Zhou's father pulled the embarrassed Zhou Jing to the side hall, and then asked in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Jing Jing, didn't you say you don't like athletes?"
Zhou Jing wondered: "I didn't say that! I just don't like the kind of people who only exercise but don't study."
"Then Xie Kai dropped out of university, isn't he the kind of person who only plays sports and doesn't study?" Father Zhou continued to ask.
Zhou Jing was a little speechless: "Dad, Xie Kai didn't drop out of school because he didn't like studying and his grades were too poor. He had to continue his studies because he participated in the NBA draft, was selected, and went to play in the NBA. The two Things are different!"
"Dropping out of school to play in the NBA, is it really that good to be an athlete? I saw a former Olympic athlete set up a street stall a few days ago!" Zhou's father said earnestly.
"Dad, the NBA is a professional sport. It's not a gold medal. It's a job with a salary!" Zhou Jing tried to explain, trying to let her father understand how difficult it is for an ordinary person to enter the NBA.
Father Zhou was worried that his daughter would be cheated by charlatans, especially in a country like the United States where there were more scammers.This Xie Kai is indeed a high-quality man in terms of appearance, appearance and even conversation, but many liars often have a pleasing appearance and a friendly conversation.
The more the daughter spoke for Xie Kai, the more uncertain Father Zhou was.Could it be that the daughter has been deceived by Xie Kai and is unable to extricate herself?But after all, he didn't have any evidence that Xie Kai was a charlatan, so even if he had doubts in his heart, he knew it was buried in his heart.If you say it rashly, it may ruin your daughter's happiness.
Zhou Jing and Zhou's father returned to the living room, where everyone gathered around Xie Kai and asked him about the United States.
Xie Kai basically answers every question, and the answers are very decent, and the words are very comfortable to listen to.Although Zhou's mother and the others still don't quite understand Xie Kai's job (playing in the NBA), she is very satisfied with other aspects.
It was almost noon, and Zhou's mother left Xie Kai to eat at home. She was just about to prepare lunch when a young boy under the age of 20 rushed in like a wind.
Xie Kai looked up and saw that this young man was over 180cm tall, dressed in sports clothes, and had a sunny and handsome appearance.
"Zhou Bin, what are you doing so recklessly?" Zhou Jing's uncle scolded.
"This is Jing Jing's cousin Zhou Bin, who is in high school!" Zhou Jing's aunt next to Xie Kai was introducing him.
Zhou Bin was so excited that he didn't care about his father's questioning: "Dad, where is my sister's boyfriend? I want to see him!"
Zhou Jing's uncle just wanted to blame again, Xie Kai stretched out his hand to signal not to blame again, stood up, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello Zhou Bin, I'm Xie Kai!"
Zhou Bin's eyes were wide open in excitement, and his breathing was a little short of excitement. He hurried forward, stretched out his hands, held Xie Kai's hand and said, "I ran too fast just now, and I didn't have the confidence to see, you...you really Thank you so much—”
"Call me brother, don't be too big or too young!" Uncle Zhou reminded from the side.
"Brother Xie Kai, you are darker than you look on TV!" Zhou Bin was still excited, as if he knew Xie Kai before.
Xie laughed and said, "Maybe it's because most of the black people around me during the competition make me white!"
Xie Kai's answer made Zhou Bin laugh, while the surrounding elders were a little puzzled.
Zhou Bin introduced to his parents and relatives: "Do you know who he is? He is the only player in China in the NBA. After Yao Ming was injured, he was the best!"
Zhou Bin turned to look at Xie Kai, his eyes full of admiration: "Brother Xie Kai, you are the idol of me and many boys in our class who like to play basketball! They know you are my brother-in-law-to-be, and they have asked me to bring them autographs Woolen cloth!"
When Zhou Bin's "prospective brother-in-law" said it, Xie Kai and Zhou Jing beside him blushed.
Zhou Jing blamed Zhou Bin: "Abin, stop talking nonsense, what...'brother-in-law'!"
"Sister, don't be shy. Brothers have come to our house. It's not a matter of time. Uncles and aunts, you don't know, brother Xie Kai has already been selected for the national team. Fight, he is the biggest star!" Zhou Bin talked about Xie Kai, and he became a small fan in an instant.
Zhou Bin's appearance gave Xie Kai's identity the best explanation and introduction.Zhou Jing's explanation seemed a little blunt, and Xie Kai was her boyfriend, even if she portrayed him in a glamorous way, her parents and relatives would not be so convinced.
Now everyone understands what level and situation Xie Kai is playing in the NBA, including Zhou's father who was still worried that he is a charlatan.
Yao Ming is a boss-level figure in the basketball world. Since Xie Kai and Yao Ming are playing in the United States, and they are so good, it is amazing.Not to mention that he is now selected for the national team. In the eyes of ordinary Chinese like Zhou Jingjia, the evaluation of how good an athlete is depends on whether you are a member of the national team.In everyone's eyes, the athletes of the national team are the most powerful.
Xie Kai is also very grateful to Zhou Bin, he himself said that he is useless for being too arrogant!That's Wang Po selling melons, which is not very useful, but will make Zhou Jing's family think that he is a boastful man who loves to brag.But Zhou Bin is different, he is their own person, he met himself for the first time, so he talked to himself, and showed such admiration, that really achieved the effect of four or two thousand catties!
