Chapter 46 Interview
After four consecutive away games, the tight schedule also came to an end, and they got two days of rest.

Taking into account the physical condition of the players, Tyronn Lue only arranged training on the day when the game started, and let them arrange the rest of the time by themselves.

After returning home, Yun Chen took a comfortable bath, then lay on the bed and refused to get up again.

The intensity of the NBA is really challenging the limits of the human body all the time. After relaxing at this moment, Yunchen felt that his body was about to fall apart.

Before he knew it, he fell asleep in a daze. This time he slept soundly. It was morning when he went to bed, but it was already night when he woke up.

"Hmm..." At 06:30 in the evening, Yunchen woke up leisurely.

After sleeping for almost nine hours, his head started to hurt a little, and it was very uncomfortable to swell.

After going to the bathroom to wash his face, he regained consciousness a little bit, because he hadn't eaten at noon, and at this time his stomach was growling in disappointment.

"Hmm... let's eat something early." Yunchen can cook, and Baker left him a nutritious recipe before, but today he wants to change the taste.

Moreover, Baker's recipes are either vegetables or various meats. He thinks it is necessary to treat himself occasionally.

But just as he was packing his bags and preparing to go out, his cell phone rang.

Taking the phone, Yun Chen's attention was instantly attracted by the name displayed on it.

Lu Qingyan, that Tencent Sports reporter, hasn't had much contact since the two of them went to the movies last time.

Hastily putting down the socks she was about to wear, Yun Chen connected the phone: "Hello, hello!"

"Ah! Mr. Li, good evening!" On the other end of the phone, Lu Qingyan's voice was still crisp.Yun Chen always thought her voice was very pleasant, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"Hehe, good evening, do you still want to go to the movies with me after calling so late?" After laughing twice, Yun Chen teased.

For some reason, his mood suddenly improved now, and his head, which was still hurting just now, seemed to be miraculously healed.

As soon as this sentence was said, Lu Qingyan obviously remembered the experience of the two of them last time, and was immediately speechless for a long time.

"Um... no, no, um, didn't you get the Rookie of the Month recently, we learned that you just came back from the away game, so I called to ask if you have time these two days, and we still want to meet again I'll give you an exclusive interview..." After struggling for a while, Lu Qingyan explained the intention of calling.

"Oh...that's it." Yun Chen laughed.

"Then... do you have time recently... our section will be typesetting in two days, so my time is very..."

"Where are you now?" Before Lu Qingyan finished speaking, Yun Chen interrupted her directly.

"what?"

"Where are you now? I haven't eaten today. You just come over to have a meal with me. This will be an exclusive interview. Do you think it's okay?"

"what?"

……

Ten minutes later, Lu Qingyan, who was still in the Tencent Cleveland branch building, was already sitting opposite Yunchen.

This is a Chinese restaurant, Yunchen is not used to western food, so he chose this place specially, and the owner of this restaurant is Chinese, so it's not that difficult to communicate with.

At this moment, although Lu Qingyan had been sitting for a while, her face was still flushed.

Even though the two of them had seen a movie together last time, they were relatively familiar, but she still felt embarrassed to come out to have dinner with Yun Chen so late.

And... how can an NBA star and a female reporter have dinner together so late?If I go out and tell people that this is an exclusive interview, no one will believe me.

The two sat opposite each other, chatting without saying a word.

They couldn't let go, maybe it was because Lu Qingyan was very restrained, which made Yun Chen feel uncomfortable too.

Not long after, the waiter brought a bowl of noodles that Yun Chen ordered, which eased the awkward atmosphere between the two of them a little.

"Mr. Li...then, shall we start now?" Seeing Yun Chen gulping down the noodles, Lu Qingyan asked cautiously.

Just now Yunchen wanted to order one for her, but was rejected, saying that girls tend to gain weight when they eat this kind of food. (Really??)
With a big mouthful of noodles in his mouth, Yun Chen said vaguely, "Hmm...don't be too verbose."

"Hehe..." Perhaps Yun Chen's appearance was really funny, Lu Qingyan couldn't help giggling.

She took out the same pen and paper as last time, and began to record Yun Chen's words as usual.

"Mr. Lee, how do you feel about winning the Rookie of the East award in November?"

"I don't have any feelings, just play well."

"Oh... Then Mr. Li, the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference is Yuan Junjie. As far as we know, you are very good friends, so what can you comment on his performance?"

"There is no comment, as long as he plays well."

"Oh... Then Mr. Li, the Cavaliers are very strong now. They just won four consecutive away games. What is your goal for this season? The playoffs? Or do you want to get good results?"

"There is no goal, anyway, just play well."

"..." Lu Qingyan was speechless. If Yunchen hadn't given her a good impression before, she would have felt that this person was deliberately embarrassing her, and the answers he gave were of no interview value at all.

"That's right." At this time, Yun Chen had almost finished eating a big bowl of noodles, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth while looking at Lu Qingyan and said, "Don't always call me Mr. Li, I don't like people calling me that , you can call me Yunchen."

"Ah?" Lu Qingyan was in a daze, and suddenly realized that she didn't understand Yun Chen's brain circuit.

"Do you have work tomorrow?" Yun Chen asked again.

"Ah... I'll be on vacation tomorrow morning, what's the matter?"

"Then it's okay to go back later, there's a new movie coming out tonight, you can watch it with me."

"what movie?"

"Let's go!" While Lu Qingyan was still hesitating, Yun Chen had already stood up, packed her things and was about to leave.

"It's not... our exclusive interview..."

"Oh, there's too much time, I'll talk about it later."

……

Lu Qingyan didn't know how she agreed to Li Yunchen's invitation, anyway, she was taken to the movie theater at eight or nine o'clock in the evening for no reason.

Although this movie is really good, her focus for more than an hour is not here.

She has been struggling with a problem.

Why did I watch a movie with Li Yunchen twice for no reason...

Two hours later, the movie ended, and the two people who came out of the movie theater stood on the street with their heads up, breathing in the fresh air.

"Well, Li Xian... No, Yun Chen, what about our interview..." At this time, Lu Qingyan, who was standing behind Yun Chen, asked cautiously. She didn't have the nerve to ask a single question in the theater just now.

And in such a dark environment, nothing can be recorded, right? (um, yes)
But what Yun Chen said when she turned her head made her almost explode on the spot: "Ah? What interview?"

"No...how did you..." Lu Qingyan was about to burst into tears. Her boss had a bad temper. If she couldn't get the interview materials, she would definitely be reprimanded when she went back.

"Oh... You said the interview on your section... Do you have time tomorrow?"

"what?"

"I'll have a rest tomorrow. You can accompany me to the shopping mall, and I'll treat it as an exclusive interview."

Lu Qingyan: "..."

After eleven o'clock in the evening, after driving Lu Qingyan home, he got motion sick and slowly returned to his residence.

"Today the weather is really sunny, everywhere is beautiful, and tomorrow the weather is also sunny, everywhere is beautiful..."

He is in a good mood now, and he can't help humming a song at this time.

But when he turned on the phone again, he suddenly stopped singing.

"The No. [-] pick DeAndre Ayton uttered bold words. In the next game, Li Yunchen will understand why he is the No. [-] pick!"

"Damn?" Yun Chen blinked, suddenly remembering that the next game the Cavaliers will face the Phoenix Suns at home, and he will have his first duel with the No. [-] pick.

"Oh, it's interesting..."
