Chapter 340: Chapter 188 This is the Pacers Standing at the Summit Waiting for Challenges

Su Wan politely declined, but on the way back to the hotel on the team bus after the game, he did feel a touch of dizziness.

To be on the safe side, the team leader immediately took him to the hospital and got him a ward.

Yui Aragaki must have seen the news because she appeared at the door of the ward early in the morning. However, the bodyguard stopped her and didn’t let her directly enter.

Seeing her doe-like, expectant eyes, Su Wan let her in after all.

For men, even if they don’t like a girl with the aura of a first love, it’s hard to dislike her.

Who doesn’t have a "first love" in their past!

As a result, actresses with this kind of demeanor often have a natural advantage when it comes to popularity with the general public.

Liu Yifei is the most typical example.

Despite plenty of scandals, 20 years later, her fan base is still solid against other actresses from her generation. Even with a script as poor as "The Story of a Rose," her popularity is evident.

"あなたは大丈夫ですか (Are you alright)?" she asked with apologetic expression as soon as she entered. Realizing that Su Wan couldn’t understand her, she tried to gesture with her hands instead. Just then, Su Wan noticed she was holding a fruit basket.

He just happened to want an apple.

Su Wan didn’t bother asking what Yui Aragaki said and told her to put down the fruit basket. He called over a bodyguard to help pick out and wash an apple from the basket.

Yui Aragaki obediently sat down on a chair next to him following Su Wan’s gesture. But when she heard Su Wan call the bodyguard, she immediately stood up with restraint. When she saw the bodyguard walking out of the ward with the apple, she seemed to guess what Su Wan wanted the bodyguard to do.

"Wait a minute, please!"

She hurriedly chased after him, took the apple from the bodyguard, and with a mix of gestures and words, indicated she could do the task.

Body language is universal, and the bodyguard understood, but still looked at Su Wan for confirmation. After Su Wan nodded, the bodyguard handed the task of washing the apple to Yui Aragaki.

It proved to be the right decision; when she returned, she had somehow borrowed a fruit knife and expertly peeled the apple, presenting the finished product with pride to Su Wan.

"How long will you stay in the hospital?" Yui Aragaki asked while Su Wan was eating the apple.

"???" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Seeing Su Wan’s cheek bulging on one side and giving her a "confused black man" look, Yui Aragaki couldn’t help but laugh. Her laughter was bright and infectious, but she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, shook her head apologetically, indicating it was nothing.

The doctor came to check on Su Wan and after confirming there were no problems, then she left.

Over the next three days, she always appeared on time early in the morning, bringing Su Wan a traditional Japanese breakfast for the last two days:

The first was miso soup with natto rice;

The second was scallop curry rice.

Thankfully it was 2006, not 2016, much less 2024.

Otherwise, Su Wan might not have dared to eat it.

On the third day’s checkup, there were no problems at all. After confirming with Su Wan that he hadn’t experienced any dizziness in the past few days, the doctor let him be discharged. Su Wan wanted to leave a bodyguard to tell Yui Aragaki he was being discharged, but just at that moment, other players from the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team came to the hospital to pick him up. It happened right after the doctor finished speaking, and those guys, especially Zhu Fangyu, winked and gave him a lewd smile, teasing him about how far he had gotten with the Japanese actress.

He completely forgot about it.

It wasn’t until he was on the plane that he remembered the matter was left undone.

Well, it’s like this in youth pain literature; there needs to be a scene where one of the protagonists disappears without saying goodbye.

It was reasonable.

He didn’t dwell on it much either.

Besides, he hadn’t even held hands with her, so was there a need to fuss?

The flight from Japan to Indianapolis was about 15 hours long. Su Wan boarded the plane in the evening, and when he arrived in Indianapolis, it was still night time. He went straight home and fell asleep.

At the same time he was sleeping, Yui Aragaki was carefully instructing the ramen shop owner to seal the takeaway box tightly. She even checked it herself before dashing with it to the hospital. However, before she even reached the ward, she saw that the usual bodyguard at the door was gone.

She rushed over and peeked inside, only to find an old man who, assisted by a beautiful woman, was struggling to use a urinal.

"Eh?"

Her sudden appearance startled both the old man and the beautiful woman—especially the old man, who ended up spilling.

"I’m sorry!"

She turned her head quickly.

After asking at the nurses’ station, she found out that Su Wan had been discharged the day before.

"Hi!"

Having learned what she wanted to know, Yui Aragaki managed a forced smile. As she turned, her smile held a hint of helplessness. She walked towards the hospital exit and sat down on a bench outside. She carefully opened the ramen box and began eating slowly.

At that moment, an airplane flew across the sky. She brushed back her bangs that always seemed to fall in her face and looked up just in time to see it, gazing at the plane as it disappeared into the distance, her bright eyes lost in thought.

By early September, the World Championship had ended, and Su Wan had finally adjusted to the time difference. And as the jet lag faded, so did the name Yui Aragaki.

On his first day back in Indianapolis, Tyrone came to him with the people from Sports Illustrated. To promote the upcoming new season, Su Wan would be the cover star for the October issue of Sports Illustrated.

Tyrone informed Su Wan, "Originally, it was Sharapova, fresh off winning her second Grand Slam at the US Open. But because you guys beat the Dream Team over the summer, and with the new season approaching, considering the overall buzz, Sports Illustrated decided to make you the cover star for the first October issue instead."
