"...We should hope that Gawain never comes to Binghamton to compete again..."
Let's talk quickly and tell the truth. This Asian uncle is just silent. He is a blockbuster. He has been standing beside him without making a sound. This opening captures the key. In an instant, all eyes are directed towards him, and the smiles on the corners of his mouth and eyes can't be suppressed.
The place of residence surged.
The Asian uncle has a dark complexion, and deep crow's feet can be seen in the corners of his eyes. It is difficult to tell his exact age, but judging from the outline of his facial features, he should be from East Asia, but he does not know whether he is a first-generation immigrant or a second-generation immigrant.
English with a slight accent is also difficult to distinguish.
Bathed in the spotlight of everyone, the Asian uncle didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and his contented expression looked very calm.
The middle-aged uncle was scolded severely, but he didn't care at all. He patted Gawain hard on the back and joked with him with a smile.
"Of course, of course, of course, professional players are chasing top challenges. I believe that with your ability, you won't stay in the challenge for too long."
"But, New York? Where do we have so much time to go there to watch football? It is a big city, and we are not used to it. We will get lost if we stand at the intersection, and a loudspeaker will blast us home. There is no way we can tell
I went there for half a day and came back disappointed, but I still like Binghamton.”
The middle-aged uncle was laughing and laughing at himself, and his words were like a talk show actor, which really made people laugh. Then he hugged Gawain's shoulders affectionately, his chubby figure was like an angry bird, fleshy and naive.
Yes, that Italian accent is even more friendly and pleasant.
"Well, if you can reach the semifinals in New York, how about we drive over and watch the game live?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged uncle winked at Gawain, his funny expression was like a walking emoticon, which was really cute.
As a result, the Asian uncle calmly complained again.
"As for your pickup truck, which may die at any time, I think it will break down just after leaving Binghamton and never reach New York."
The concise but sharp words made Jilong unable to hold back, and burst out laughing happily.
However, it wasn't until he took the bus to leave Binghamton that Gawain realized that his attention was completely taken away by the middle-aged uncle. He only expressed his gratitude with polite greetings, but completely forgot to ask their names.
Sure enough, I still lack experience and haven't had many opportunities to face fans. Suddenly I felt such warm treatment, and I felt a little dizzy for a while.
Looking at the annoyed Gawain, Macdonald and Gillon laughed happily. It was really rare and rare to see Gawain in such a passive manner.
Amidst the laughter, the small town of Binghamton just faded away from the field of vision.
Sizzle.
Sizzle.
The vibrating sound of his cell phone drew Gawain's attention away from his annoyance. He took out his cell phone and glanced at it, and saw an unexpected name:
Elena Badin.
"Congratulations...congratulations...congratulations, congratulations on winning the championship!"
As soon as the call was connected, Elena's cheerful singing voice came out, sending her blessings in a singing way. You could even feel the enthusiasm and unrestrained dancing on the other end of the phone, so that her voice was full of happiness.
and excitement, clearly transmitted through the mobile phone receiver.
"Congratulations, congratulations! Hey!"
Elena performed the entire song with great concentration and devotion, and then simulated the sound of scattering flowers.
"Wow, champion! Congratulations!"
The smile on Gawain's lips rose slightly involuntarily, and the happiness of winning the championship came to his heart again. Without the need for words, he could feel the joy of every cell in his body dancing, and even his voice became brighter.
"Did you watch the final? I thought it wasn't broadcast in California."
For small events like the Binghamton Challenge, the broadcast rights are not in demand. This can be judged from the number of live broadcast cameras installed on the court. Generally speaking, only local TV stations are responsible for live broadcast, and the ATP official website carries live scores. Watch
The channels for competition are relatively limited.
Elena's silvery laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"There is no live TV broadcast, but there is a live radio broadcast."
"The event officials have arranged for a live broadcast on the radio. Although the picture cannot be seen, the entire game process is very clear, including the progress and confrontation of each point, as well as the performance of someone jumping high to celebrate after winning the championship, and the radio host's explanation
Very detailed, as if you were there.”
Gawain couldn't help but chuckle along with him. "Huh, luckily there is no picture, otherwise my embarrassed appearance would be exposed."
Elena laughed heartily, "Hahaha, don't worry, you don't have any image in my heart anyway, because you are the most handsome in any image."
Um?
As soon as this compliment came out of her mouth, Elena realized that she had made a mistake, and the ambiguity in her words made her cheeks feel slightly hot.
"The angle of appreciation is purely the angle of appreciation."
Elena, who has always been polite and generous, explained, but found that it was better not to explain, but if she explained, wouldn't it mean that there was no three hundred taels of silver here?
really.
Gawain gently raised his chin and said jokingly, "I know, thank you, thank you for praising my charm purely from the perspective of appreciation."
brush.
Two blushes suddenly appeared on Elena's cheeks, but she did not show any embarrassment, but said solemnly, "I just like your confidence."
However, this time the words became more ambiguous, so she changed the topic before Gawain could speak.
"So you're leaving Binghamton now? What's the next step? Keep playing?"
Gawain could also smell the ambiguity in the words. If he continued to joke, it would not be appropriate, so he followed Elena's words and changed the topic.
"Yes, we are rushing to Lexington overnight to continue competing."
"What about you? Is everything going well with your internship?"
Summer, for children, means holidays, watermelons, cicadas chirping, games, swimming pools and thunder showers, as well as endless reruns of classic TV series on the television.
But for college students, it is a transition and an experience. It is the last opportunity to adapt before leaving the student identity and entering the society. Take the time to prepare for the role change.
Therefore, Gawain and the others began to arrange their itinerary for the competition, while Elena went to the newspaper office for an internship.
They are all still young, but they are already adults, and social life is not that far away.
"At the moment, it's a bit difficult because everything has just begun and everything is brand new. Only after entering society do we realize that there are many things we need to learn."
"However, compared to the challenges you face, I have it easy."
"So, Gawain, work hard. I am watching your hard work and progress to encourage myself. You are my motivation to keep moving forward. I believe I am not the only one."
