Chapter 125: The Emotional Repair Master of the City of Angels
Fan Xi and Kobe Bryant arrived at Staples with ease; with their "status in the world" in Los Angeles, especially their "status in the world" at Staples, they didn't need any tickets to enter the arena at all.
Of course, they still followed Vanessa; Vanessa bought four VIP tickets.
Kobe had been fawning over Vanessa; although Vanessa gave him a cold face, she didn't refuse.
Their relationship was still there.
After all, they were also in love passionately back then. Vanessa marrying Kobe was equivalent to Cinderella marrying the Black Prince.
Kobe had already begun to show his talent in Los Angeles back then, a rising superstar in the NBA, while Vanessa was just a girl with good looks, and also carried the bloodline of a minority.
Kobe's parents strongly opposed it back then, but Kobe resolutely married Vanessa.
Since then, although there were twists and turns, they were also a fairy couple.
Fan Xi sat quietly in the VIP box, and soon he received Taylor Swift's call again; Swift, in the busy preparation process, didn't forget to have her agent send a backstage pass to Fan Xi.
Tonight was extraordinary for Taylor Swift; this was the first time in her life she held a ten-thousand-person concert in Los Angeles; this was a dazzling report card.
The full audience verified her amazing popularity; Fan Xi looked around, and there were screaming young men and women everywhere.
Sometimes, Fan Xi even doubted: Why would such a deeply loved superstar like me so desperately, and she knows that I am also liked by other women at the same time.
Fan Xi really wanted to consult the psychologist beside him.
However, the psychologist was obviously resisting contact with Fan Xi, because Fan Xi's problems had exceeded her knowledge reserve; she had never encountered such problems.
Too complicated!
The concert officially started at eight o'clock in the evening, slightly later than the Lakers' home game time.
As soon as Taylor Swift appeared, she sang a ten-thousand-person chorus song, "Mean."
It was this song that made Vanessa quite excited.
She felt the lyrics of this song touched her heart.
The content of the lyrics is: You, with your knife-like words, stabbed me all over. You, knocked me down again and again, making me feel like I'm good for nothing. You shouted at me with your fingernails scratching the blackboard, when I was hurt, you liked bullying the weak the most, in front of you I was vulnerable. But you would never think, one day, I will live in a great big city. And you, from beginning to end, everything is just mean, one day I will be strong enough that you can no longer attack me, and all you have left is mean, why do you have to be so mean?
This is a great country music song, and it would also win two Grammy Awards in the future.
It let many people hear their own stories in it.
Vanessa was like this; she felt it was terrible; she wanted to live some new life; this was the reason she told Kobe she wanted to leave.
When Vanessa was excitedly singing along, Kobe seemed a bit at a loss.
He began to seek help from the psychologist; at this time, Fan Xi had already sneaked away.
However, the psychologist seemed unable to control the excited Vanessa.
Kobe was also worried that Vanessa would make a scene in public; he was a public figure, Staples was his kingdom, and he didn't want to lose face in his own territory.
So, this VIP box seemed very quiet.
Vanessa sat there quietly for about half an hour, and she suddenly asked: Where is Jack?
Kobe said, maybe he went to the bathroom.
"Then let's wait for him a while longer," Vanessa said.
Then, she told Kobe: "I'm really fed up with my current life..."
At this time, Taylor Swift on stage stopped after singing a song.
At this time, she was wearing a white dress, looking very much like a pure and elegant wedding dress.
She said: "Next, I want to invite the most important, most important, most important man in my life to the stage; I spent a lot of effort to invite him."
"He is the guardian of this arena; he often performs thrilling things here; the whole city is infatuated with him."
"However, one time I discovered that he was actually a pretty good singer. He sings very well, and it's very interesting. So..."
"Let's welcome the superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers... Jack! Fan!!!"
Taylor Swift said loudly.
The sound was transmitted to every corner of the arena through the microphone speakers.
The three people sitting in the box were all stunned.
Jack? Fan?
Is it that Jieke Fan?
Then, they raised their heads, and Fan Xi walked onto the stage.
And he put on the suit prepared for him by the staff; he was decorated to be incomparably handsome; when he stood next to Taylor Swift, it was like a pair of newlyweds getting married.
They were so well-matched, so talented and beautiful.
Taylor Swift hugged Fan Xi.
She seemed exceptionally excited, jumping up and down on the stage. She said to the audience below: "Do you know? This was my dream when I was about eight or nine years old. I dreamed of holding a ten-thousand-person concert in Los Angeles, and then, standing beside me was the boy I liked the most."
Woo woo woo!
Taylor Swift's unconventional confession made the scene scream; the excited fans showed "auntie smiles" one by one, overflowing with the happiness of "I've got it, I've got it."
Vanessa in the VIP box also stood up at this time; her mind was completely transformed from negative emotions to gossip: So, everything Jack said this afternoon was true. Then who should Taylor Swift be, Little S, or Little K, or Little T, or Big Y?
She asked the psychologist and Kobe.
The psychologist was even more numb now.
How would she know.
At this time, Fan Xi on the stage spoke.
He congratulated Taylor Swift on completing her dream when she was eight or nine years old, and then he joked: "I really want to clarify, when Taylor was eight or nine years old, I should have been in elementary school in China. At that time, I only wanted to get some lunch her mother made for her from the girl at my desk. I even suspect now that I was able to become a basketball player because I stole so many chicken legs from her."
Fan Xi was a person born for big scenes; his jokes made the atmosphere on the scene very happy.
Then, Taylor said to Fan Xi: "Hey, Jack, don't talk about that little girl anymore; if you keep talking, I'll really be jealous."
"Come on, sing your best song. I've already had the band practice it." Taylor Swift said.
Okay.
Fan Xi agreed.
Before, when Fan Xi's parents and Taylor Swift's family were eating, he sang this song, called "I Only Care About You"; at that time, Taylor felt this song was very good, and then Fan Xi translated the lyrics for her, and she liked it even more.
Fan Xi did often sing this song, and he also sang the English version he translated; he practiced his spoken language this way at the time. He had also translated songs like "Kiss Goodbye" and "Love You for Ten Thousand Years."
Fan Xi picked up the microphone, and Taylor Swift sat on the bench specially prepared in front; she wanted to be that listener.
Fan Xi singing this song had special meaning for her.
But at this time, Fan Xi spoke.
"Today, I also have a good friend and his wife here at the scene. They are currently experiencing small conflicts in their marriage; I want to tell them, it is normal for married life to have some conflicts, but, never forget, why we walked together. Remember, our original appearance."
"The name of this song is 'I Only Care About You'."
"Dedicated to Taylor, dedicated to all the fans, and dedicated to my good friend and his wife."
Fan Xi explained it in detail.
His voice seemed to have magic.
Kobe was moved to tears; he didn't expect Fan Xi to give him such a move.
Vanessa was also caught off guard; a second ago she was still eating the melon of Fan Xi and Taylor Swift, and the next second, the melon fell on her own head.
Fan Xi's words did move her.
She remembered the scene of meeting Kobe for the first time a long time ago.
And at this time, Fan Xi's gentle voice came slowly with the rhythm of the music: If I hadn't met you, where would I be, how would the days be, should life be cherished...
Fan Xi's English translation was very professional, expressing the meaning of the song very completely.
Vanessa was a person with a story, and she soon verified the story with the content of the song.
She heard sweet memories, and the bits and pieces of walking with Kobe all the way.
When Fan Xi sang: 'So I, beg you, don't let me leave you, except for you I can't feel, a trace of affection...'
Kobe gently hugged her shoulders.
And Vanessa, for the first time in half a month, did not resist Kobe's physical contact.
Even slightly turned her head toward Kobe's body.
Fan Xi's song had magic.
The psychologist stood behind, she was very moved; this was something she hadn't achieved using many scientific methods.
"... How can life get a soulmate, losing the strength of life is not a pity. So I beg you, don't let me leave you, except for you I can't feel a trace of affection..."
When Fan Xi finished singing this song, Taylor Swift stood up from the bench, and she hugged Fan Xi tightly.
The scene was screaming.
Fan Xi's singing didn't have many techniques, but it was very sincere and moved people's hearts, and when Taylor Swift hugged Fan Xi tightly, everyone felt: My God, they should be together. This is really a romantic love drama.
In fact, Kobe Bryant also hugged Vanessa at this moment.
Vanessa even shed tears.
The next morning.
The image of Fan Xi singing loudly at the Staples concert and hugging Taylor Swift appeared in major media in Los Angeles, and public opinion competed to report on Fan Xi's performance last night.
Everyone used "unexpected" to describe it; everyone didn't expect that an athlete playing basketball could also sing.
And, have they achieved a positive result with Taylor Swift?
This gossip news became the focus of newspaper, TV, and internet reports.
Ding-a-ling!
Fan Xi was woken up by the urgent ringing.
It was Lu Yuan calling.
Lu Yuan said very pleasantly: "Boss, it's great! Your popularity has increased again; this morning, a record company contacted me, saying they want to release an album for you. I have to say, your performance last night was perfect; you let the Americans hear the essence of our Chinese music; I have been a fan of Teresa Teng since I was a child; you are already the second-best singer in my mind who interpreted this song!!"
Fan Xi was half-asleep, and he said confusedly: "Oh, I know, is there anything else?"
"I feel like your fashion resources are also about to explode; many fashion magazines praised your style today, saying you are the best-dressed player in the NBA, both exquisite and masculine. Also, some advertisers are asking if they can invite you and Taylor to shoot an advertisement together."
"By the way, are you and Taylor really together? Can we contact her agency for resource sharing? Or joint operation?"
"Also, the CCTV documentary played a trailer, and the response was very good. I feel like your popularity in China is also about to explode. This summer, when we return to the country, we will definitely ignite the enthusiasm of fans, and the checks of brand merchants!!"
"..."
Lu Yuan talked about beautiful commercial prospects.
But Fan Xi was indeed tired.
He turned over and said: "I'll sleep a little longer, you handle it."
Last night, Fan Xi was invited by Kobe and his wife to eat; Kobe was very happy; he had reconciled with Vanessa, and Fan Xi's song played a decisive role.
Of course, it was inseparable from Kobe calling the model in front of Vanessa, Kobe said: Let's cut off contact.
Also said, I plan to use two million to buy out the dirty memories between me and you; I don't want to see any details of you talking about me and you in the media; my wife can't stand these.
After the price was raised to 2.5 million US dollars on the other end of the phone, she agreed.
Kobe's storm was solved so happily.
When leaving, Kobe also said triumphantly: I must make a boy tonight.
Fan Xi blessed him.
And before Kobe left, Kobe also specially said to Fan Xi with great loyalty: "Jack, what I promised you will definitely count; in the future, you can make two requests to me, and I will never refuse."
Fan Xi smiled.
In his view, as long as Kobe solves the trouble at home and focuses on the game, it's fine.
The playoffs are coming soon.
Fan Xi also really wanted to win the championship, so he could show off in front of Stephen Curry: Look, stinky boy, although you entered the NBA a year earlier than me, your brother, I, won the championship first.
The Lakers' next opponent is the Golden State Warriors.
The Golden State Warriors' current record is ranked 11th in the West; the probability of entering the playoffs is quite slim; it is highly likely they will chase the lottery pick to strengthen the team.
Fan Xi lay on the bed for a while, then he got up to wash, eat. Put on his bag and headed to Staples Center.
Tonight's game is the Lakers vs. the Golden State Warriors.
What surprised Fan Xi a bit was that when he walked into the locker room, he found his locker was occupied, and the nameplate that originally had his name was replaced with Andrew Bynum... this was originally Bynum's locker.
Now...
Bynum is back?
