Chapter 5 Departure from Houston

Since the flight was at 10 a.m., Gao Lin got up at 6:30 a.m.

After washing and simply packing two sets of clothes, he went down to have breakfast.

After breakfast, he called his cousin Mu Luorou, and Xiang Huidi came to his room and signaled him to prepare to go to the airport.

For this trip to Houston, the club originally planned to organize some loyal fans to cheer for the team, but due to the cumbersome procedures for going abroad and limited funds, the trip did not take place.

Under the leadership of the club leaders, everyone rushed to the airport.

After sitting in the waiting hall and chatting for a while, everyone started to check in tickets after the service desk informed me to board the plane.

There were thirteen people in the group going to Houston. In addition to Gao Lin, the eight members of the first team, the head coach of the second team, Li Dugui, was also stalking to follow. The remaining four people, one of whom was the director of the club, Rong Shichang, One is the club’s deputy director Chen Jianghe, the other is the club’s external relations director Ji Duoyang, and the other is the team’s makeup artist Mentor Zhang.

Sitting on the plane, the team members seemed a little excited, especially Yang Tianshui, Su Jiantong and Zhang Weiyong, who chattered non-stop.

Gao Lin occasionally joined in a few sentences, but mostly he was reading magazines, or quietly teasing Xiang Huidi who was sitting next to him, feeling the ambiguous journey of being accompanied by a beautiful woman.

However, it was okay if he didn't tease Xiang Huidi. Once he did, Xiang Hudie's delicate hand almost never left his waist.

It was already around 1pm the next day when we arrived in Houston.

After being received by game staff, Gao Lin and the others settled into a small hotel called Yas near the Toyota Center, home of the Rockets.

When they first came to the United States, Yang Tianshui and the others could not suppress their excitement and insisted on going out for a walk. However, because they were not familiar with the place, Rong Shichang did not let them go to avoid any accidents.

Gao Lin had no interest in shopping or anything like that, so he used the hotel phone to call Han Weiwei who was far away in China.

When Han Weiwei heard that Gao Lin had arrived in Houston, she was also ready to make a move and said she wanted to come here.

He was worried that something might happen to her, so of course Gao Lin wouldn't allow it and just let her stay in your city.

After chatting with Han Weiwei for more than ten minutes and hanging up the phone, Gao Lin called Mu Luorou again to check that she was safe.

However, Mu Luorou's personal mobile phone was turned off and she called Lao Gao's landline. The person who answered the phone was Uncle Liang.

Uncle Liang said that Aunt Meng had gone abroad with Mu Luorou and her daughter this morning, saying she wanted to watch him compete.

After hearing this, Gao Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. However, now that the matter had come to this, he could not stop him. He had no choice but to ask Uncle Liang to call him if he had any news about Mu Luorou and the others.

"Master Lu, what's wrong?" Yang Tianshui asked Gao Lin when he saw him hanging up the phone with a wry smile on his face.

Since the competition arranged a double room, Gao Lin and Yang Tianshui lived together, and their beds were only half a meter apart.

"Nothing." Gao Lin shook his head, looked at the tablet in Yang Tian's hand, and asked, "Can the Wifi here be connected?"

"Yes." Yang Tianshui nodded, "I have to admire it. Houston's network is really strong. Every hotel you enter has Wi-Fi."

Gao Lin smiled and took off a coat from his body.

Now that we have entered November, the temperature in Houston is relatively cold. After getting off the plane, everyone has to put on a coat or two.

In contrast, in China, although the weather is getting cooler, wearing a long-sleeved shirt is enough to keep warm.

"It's time to eat." Xiang Huidi knocked on the door and said.

Gao Lin nodded, packed his things, and walked out with Yang Tianshui.

Everyone ate in Rong Shichang's room. Since the hotel they stayed in did not provide food and drinks, the meals were all fast food packed back from outside by Xiang Huidi and Lu Hai.

After a brief lunch, everyone rested in the room.

After nearly 30 hours of flying, Gao Lin seemed a little exhausted and fell asleep right into the night.

Around 7 o'clock in the evening, the phone in the room rang.

Gao Lin picked up the phone and found that the caller was Mu Luorou.

After asking Gao Lin's address in detail, Mu Luorou handed the phone to Aunt Meng.

After listening to Aunt Meng's concerned chatter for a few minutes, the little girl grabbed the phone again.

After teasing the little girl on the phone for a while, Gao Lin hung up.

"Master Lu, who are you talking to on the phone?" Yang Tianshui sat up from the bed in a daze, stretched out and said to Gao Lin.

"Why don't you call home?" Gao Lin turned around and asked.

"I told them in your city." Yang Tianshui wiped his eyes and said.

"It's better to call back and make sure you're safe," Gao Lin said.

"I heard that calling the hotel requires money," Yang Tianshui said.

"I don't want you to come out anyway, so why are you feeling bad?" Gao Lin said with a smile.

"It's wrong of you to say that. Isn't the club's money just money?" Yang Tianshui said.

"Okay, whether you like to play or not, I don't care about you." Sitting on the bed, Gao Lin took out an ultrabook from his bag.

This ultrabook was forced upon him by his cousin when he returned to Kyoto a few days ago. He doesn't use it much at ordinary times, but only occasionally uses it to watch movies.

"Wow, where did you buy this laptop?" Seeing the ultrabook in his hand, Yang Tianshui couldn't help but lean over.

He looked around the ultrabook with his two eyes, and his expression suddenly looked a little startled: "Fahrenheit T30, oh my god, Lu Ye, you dare to buy this kind of ultrabook."

"What's wrong?" Gao Lin usually doesn't pay much attention to laptops or anything like that, and he doesn't know what's so special about the ultrabook in his hand. He just feels that it's very smooth and fast for watching videos.

"Nima, you are a rich man and you have so much money that you have nowhere to spend it. You won't feel bad using this kind of ultrabook that costs tens of thousands of dollars." Yang Tianshui said.

"Well, it was given to me as a gift. I don't have the spare money for such a thing." Gao Lin shrugged. Although he knew that this ultrabook was not cheap, when he heard Yang Tianshui talking about tens of thousands of dollars, he still couldn't help but feel guilty. Startled.

However, I felt relieved when I thought about it. This ultrabook was manufactured by my cousin's company, so she would not give him a cheap one.

Besides, considering her cousin, a wealthy woman with a lot of money, she wouldn't feel bad even if she gave him something worth hundreds or tens of millions, not to mention an ultrabook worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Of course, whether he accepts it or not is another question.

"Send it, who will send it, why don't you give it to me?" Yang Tianshui said with wide eyes.

"Go out and find a rich foreign girl. It's not easy to get what you want." Gao Lin pointed to the window with a smile.

"No way, Master Lu, this is a gift from a foreign girl." Yang Tianshui nodded his chin and said with a smile.

Gao Lin shrugged and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
