Chapter 158 Riley's Underhanded Tactics!
"He loves to drink when he wins money, but he has a very low alcohol tolerance. He has a very low alcohol tolerance but loves to drink. Does that count?" Mourning said to Riley on the phone, revealing the weakness of Jordan that he had come up with after much thought.
"Yes! Of course it counts!" Riley slapped his thigh, indicating that this was the one!
"Alonzo, I'll give you $3. Go and ask Jordan to play cards. If you lose, it's on me. Get him drunk until he's burping and weak-kneed during the game that night. Can you do that?"
"Getting him drunk isn't difficult, but $3 is out of the question. It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap. I have my own money," Mourning said on the phone. "You mean, make him so hungover he can't play?"
"That's the idea, but if 3 isn't enough, 10 should be enough, right?" Riley gritted his teeth... He really didn't expect these star players to gamble so much!
"10 is enough, but Coach, you should keep it for yourself. I'll do the work. I'll contact Michael now! Should we call Scott along too?"
"Call them! Call everyone you can! It would be best to call Lin too!" Riley immediately became excited when he heard that Quan Neng could be called.
"Lin... forget it. I don't think anyone in this league would want to sit at the same table as Lin. That kid is a gambling god! He's never lost money at the poker table. I heard he once won 400 million from Michael on a plane!"
"Also, in last year's All-Star Game, Lin single-handedly beat seven or eight star players at the table, winning cleanly from everyone! That guy has long been on our blacklist!"
"That's impressive..." Riley muttered, then continued to Mourning, "Then we won't take him. By the way, can you handle this by yourself? I don't want you to get drunk too."
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I can drink two Michaels out by myself! Not to mention, I have helpers too!" Mo Ning patted his chest triumphantly, indicating that everything was a piece of cake.
"You can't call Tim! He can't drink! If all else fails, call Jamal, that kid can definitely hold his liquor." Riley was calculating who on the team were qualified to sit at the same table as Jordan. He couldn't let Hardaway and Jordan both be ruined by this.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. Just wait for the good news, Coach." Mourning hung up the phone with Riley with great confidence, and then he quickly started making calls to find players. One of the biggest advantages of being in Miami is that during the offseason, many star players come here to vacation and enjoy their personal lives.
As the host, Mourning naturally had to take on the responsibility of entertaining many star players, ensuring they had a good time in Miami.
Especially recently, with only four teams left fighting for the championship, many players have chosen Miami as their first summer vacation destination.
Mourning flipped through his phone book and easily found several guys who were vacationing in Miami and could hang out with. But his first step was to call Jordan. If Jordan didn't come, all his efforts to arrange the gathering would be for nothing!
The Bulls arrived in Miami at 6 p.m. the night before the game. After everyone arrived at the hotel, Jackson clapped his hands, signaling everyone to come to him. Then he said very solemnly, "Game 3 is extremely important! Winning or losing is the difference between heaven and hell for us."
"So, tonight is curfew! No one is allowed to step outside the hotel! No going out to have fun! If we win tomorrow's game, I'll allow you to go out tomorrow night... Got it?"
"Understood!" After seeing the players nod in agreement, Jackson took the room key first and took the elevator with the players.
He had great confidence in the Bulls players. Although they were playful, most of them were quite sensible. He wasn't worried that they would sneak out tonight, so Jackson went straight into his room without checking anyone's room.
During dinner that evening, Jackson counted the number of people and then returned to his room, satisfied.
When evening came at the hotel, Pippen, who was boredly playing games in his room, suddenly heard someone knocking on his door.
"Michael? Want to play games together?" Pippen asked curiously. Although he and Jordan had gotten along well over the past two seasons, this was the first time Jordan had knocked on his door in the middle of the night.
"Don't talk, there's a get-together, wanna go?" Jordan winked at Pippen and said, "Mourning organized it! Let's go and take this kid down, tomorrow's game will be a lot easier!"
"But Phil said we can't go out..." Pippen frowned. He wasn't exactly a good boy, but it was the Eastern Conference Finals after all, and he was a little nervous.
"Phil has already run out. I knocked on his door just now, and it was empty!" Jordan said. "And it wasn't just the two of us; I saw Dennis sneak out of the fire escape! That guy, he's definitely off having fun alone again!"
"Hurry up, Scott, you're not some coward! Don't waste time, just tell me if you're going or not!" Jordan said, then continued, "It's a betting game by Alonzo's group! It has Mutombo, Smith, O'Neal, and that rookie from Philadelphia, Iverson, and I think there are a few other guys too, all familiar faces!"
"Besides, Alonzo is already waiting for us outside! The whole setup is complete, just waiting for the two of us! Even the Heat guys dare to come out, what are you afraid of, Scott!" Seeing that Pippen was still a little hesitant, Jordan continued to tempt him.
"I heard that Dubecan guy is dominating tonight, he's won who knows how much money he's made! He's yelling rubbish like who's going to sleep with Mutombo tonight! Let's go teach those idiots what winning money really means!"
"Let's go!" Upon hearing this, Pippen couldn't contain his excitement any longer. He tossed the game console aside and followed Jordan out of the room. "Should we call Lin? He must be bored in his room all by himself."
"If we bring Lin along, do you think anyone'd bet with us?" Jordan rolled his eyes. "Lin is already blacklisted from betting! Only an idiot would bet with him in the entire league! FUXX! I'm not an idiot! From this moment on, from this moment on, if I bet even a penny with Lin, I'm a complete moron!"
Following Jordan's bold statement, Jordan and Pippen hurriedly left the corridor and headed towards the hotel lobby.
Neither of them noticed that just as they disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lin Tian came out of his room. He had heard Jordan and Pippen's conversation clearly.
Lin Tian, peeking out from inside, looked at the empty corridor and suspected that at least half of the Bulls players had probably run away by now! If Jordan wasn't just talking nonsense, then even Jackson had run away. Since everyone had run away, what was he doing here being a good boy?
Lin Tian didn't even think about it, nor was he too lazy to change his clothes. He simply put on a pair of flashy shorts, paired with a standard Miami-style floral shirt, and ran out of the hotel in slippers.
He didn't want to go to the party Jordan and Pippen were going to tonight. Lin Tian just wanted to wander around Miami today. He suddenly felt that it had been a long time since he had been in a very relaxed state and wandered around aimlessly.
So, Lin Tian didn't drive, call a car, or invite any friends. Instead, he wandered around the streets of Miami all by himself!
After strolling around leisurely and aimlessly for about 30 minutes, Lin Tian felt that this city was really a good place to live!
It wasn't just because he hadn't seen a single little karami trying to take advantage of him after 30 minutes of searching. Of course, Lin Tian also felt that his height of 190 centimeters and his strong and unapproachable appearance might have a slight connection to this.
But this feeling also made Lin Tian think that the security here was quite good.
After all, this isn't a predominantly Black neighborhood!
Of course, the most important reason was that even though it was already night, Lin Tian still saw quite a few girls in bikinis with great figures walking around on the beach.
This really is paradise!
A paradise without the inhuman invention of one-piece swimsuits!
Lin Tian unconsciously walked towards the beach where the most girls were.
Yes, I'm just going to see the sea, definitely not to see girls sunbathing... or moonbathing!
As Lin Tian walked along, he discovered that the people of Miami were indeed quite simple and honest!
Perhaps it was because Miami was too hot during the day in early June, leaving the young people unable to vent their restlessness during the day. So, within a distance of less than 300 meters, Lin Tiancai saw at least three couples entangled together, their hands placed in various indescribable positions.
Lin Tian even saw the leaves swaying behind several bushes and in the woods!
The people are so kind and honest!
These young people really exude a strong sense of hormones!
While enjoying the various scenery along the way, Lin Tian found an empty beach chair on the beach and sat down.
With the sea breeze blowing and the night view on the beach in the background, Lin Tian completely let his mind go. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt incredibly comfortable. The only regret was that he didn't have a girl in his arms, there were no bottles of beer in front of him, and no huge movie screen in front of him.
Then Lin Tian couldn't help but close his eyes, wanting to experience this rare moment of relaxation. Then, he felt that the wish he had just made seemed to have been fulfilled.
At least a portion has been implemented.
A warm, soft body, like a little black mouse, snuggled right into Lin Tian's arms! Lin Tian's first reaction was to reach out and tuck his wallet and phone under his bottom so no one could reach them.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's no such thing as a girl throwing herself at you!
Beware of pickpockets; it's everyone's responsibility!
The second reaction was to paw directly at the girl's front. Yes, it was confirmed, it was indeed a girl!
Then, with the third move, he flipped over and used his strength to pin the girl, whose face he hadn't even seen clearly, down beneath him, and put one hand on the girl's neck.
"Who is it?" Lin Tian wasn't the kind of lecherous wolf who would take advantage of someone without thinking. Although he had one hand around the neck and the other on the chest, he was very vigilant and hadn't lost his senses.
"I...I...I'm your girlfriend, darling, have you forgotten?" The girl was clearly stunned by the sudden action. After stammering out this sentence, she seemed to finally realize what had happened and quickly turned her head to the other side, saying, "See? My boyfriend! He's a super fighter! If you don't leave, he'll beat you to death!"
What's going on?
Lin Tian turned around and saw three black men standing there aggressively. After a quick glance, Lin Tian understood what had happened.
This girl was most likely hit on or robbed, and then panicked and ran to me for help. But isn't she afraid that I might be a bad guy too? At least for now, I look much more dangerous than those three little karami.
"My boyfriend is a boxer! Look at his skills and reflexes, the three of you combined wouldn't be a match for him! If you don't leave now, you won't be able to get away!" The little girl was still waving her little fists at the three of them aggressively, showing no intention of letting Lin Tian get up.
Since no one was pushing him away, Mr. Lin said: Although the supply is not very sufficient, it is not bad to maintain it like this.
However, he wasn't one to be easily fooled. Who knew whether the woman had stolen money or robbed someone, or if she had genuinely been harassed? Lin Tian wasn't going to intervene until he found out.
Who knows if he'll inexplicably run into some Miami Mafia godfather! He's seen this kind of plot in movies countless times! Many third- or fourth-rate online novelists love to write these kinds of nonsensical plots.
"What's going on with you guys?" Lin Tian didn't respond to the little girl's constant calling him "darling," but instead looked at the three little karami.
Judging from their physiques, the three of them combined probably weigh less than 350 pounds. Without weapons, I could take them down in a maximum of 5 seconds.
"We just wanted to make friends with the little girl. He slapped my friend in the face. You're not leaving here today unless you give us an explanation!" The leader glared at the two men and recounted the incident.
"I refused to drink with them, so they tried to drag me into an alley. I barely managed to escape!" the girl quickly explained, indicating that she was the victim.
Hearing this, Lin Tian finally understood. Reluctantly, he got up from his chair and looked at the three men, asking, "Did any of you three bring guns?"
These words startled the three little Karami, who involuntarily took a step back, thinking Lin Tian was about to do something to them. The one who had been so aggressive just moments before stammered, "No... I didn't bring any! What are you going to do?"
"It's nothing." No gun? That makes things easier!
Within seven steps, my Lord Lin's iron fist is both fast and accurate!
However, Lin Tian didn't rush to stand up. Instead, he reached out and touched the chair first. He needed to make sure his wallet was still there. Who knew if it was a honey trap? But this one action startled the three little karaomis, who screamed and ran away!
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared off the coast.
"So cowardly, yet you still come out to do bad things." Lin Tian curled his lip, turned back to look at the girl still lying on the chair, and said, "You're safe now."
"Thank you." The girl sat up, and only then did Lin Tian get a clear look at her.
She has pink, candy-colored hair, isn't very tall, and looks like she's still developing, a bit thin. Although her face is still somewhat childish and has the rebelliousness typical of teenagers, you can tell she's definitely a beauty in the making.
Hmm? A beauty in the making?
"How old are you this year?" For the sake of his life and property, Lin Tian asked very cautiously.
"I'm 19!" The little girl blurted out without thinking.
"Then you can wander around the beach by yourself. I'm leaving, bye-bye." Lin Tian, who was known for his extensive experience with people, was now 100% certain that this girl was probably not even 15, let alone 19!
For a girl of this age, I, Lord Lin, am absolutely calm and composed, a true modern-day Liu Xiahui!
"No! I'm scared! What if they come back?" The girl immediately softened, grabbing Lin Tian's hand and saying, "I'm 17!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go after those three right now and make them come back and teach you math." Lin Tian looked at the little girl, already getting a little impatient. He had always preferred tapping the wooden fish to looking at goldfish.
"I'll be 14 soon. There are only 10 days left!" the girl quickly added, indicating that she was really telling the truth this time.
14 years old... Lin Tian glanced at the very young girl, then thought to himself, if she is not 14 years old, then she is too mature.
"How did you get involved with them? Where are your parents? Where do they live? And how do you know I'm not a bad person?" Lin Tian fired off a barrage of questions, his main goal being to give you no chance to react or make up a story.
"I was walking along the roadside when they came. My parents are probably looking for me too. We just finished our exams and came here for vacation. I'm going to film a movie after the vacation. My friends are eating at the restaurant over there. I'm a little scared, so I don't dare to walk there by myself. Can you take me there? You're very handsome, so I don't think you're a bad person!"
The little girl was so startled by Lin Tian's barrage of questions that she was somewhat at a loss for words. She quickly gave the answers, and judging from how fluent her answers were, this time, it was probably true!
Especially the last sentence!
Well, just because I'm handsome, he believes I'm not a bad person. His credibility is extremely high!
In particular, when Lin Da Guanren suddenly remembered that when he opened the treasure chest, he also got some kind of charm or romantic luck attribute points. Lin Da Guanren's greatest talent now is his maximum affinity with the opposite sex!
Hmm...that makes sense, absolutely makes sense!
But... you're going to make a movie?
Lin Tian looked at the little girl's face, searching through the names of Hollywood child stars in his mind, and his old lecherous tendencies quickly took over.
Lin Da Guanren believed that the mysterious hand of fate would not allow him to encounter an unknown child star at this time.
"What are you looking at?" The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Lin Tian, trembling.
"Matilda?" After searching for a while, Lin Tian remembered the little girl's name.
Yes, it's a name from a movie.
Matilda... that is, Natalie Portman.
Mathilda from "Léon: The Professional"!
Natalie Portman, who has already starred in several blockbuster films at a young age, is one of the most successful child stars in Hollywood today, with films such as *Léon: The Professional*, *Heat*, *Lover's Daughter*, and *Mars Attacks!*.
At less than 16 years old, she has played important roles in many blockbusters, ranging from art films to commercial films to action films to romance films. The young girl has shown versatile acting skills worthy of a future Best Actress award. She not only handles various roles very well, but has also won the praise of many film critics and industry professionals!
She is completely different from those child stars who can only win the audience's favor with their cute faces.
She has been making a living in the entertainment industry by relying on her acting skills since she was 14 years old!
Her professional skills are absolutely top-notch for her age!
Many people believe that she will be a leading figure among the new generation of Hollywood actresses, with an absolutely limitless future!
The movie she's going to film this summer is most likely one of Hollywood's most amazing, highest-grossing, and most popular top-tier IPs: Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace!
but……
14岁？
"I prefer people to call me Natalie Portman." Knowing that Lin Tian had recognized her, Portman pursed her lips, her face full of pitifulness and grievance, and said, "Actually, I'm almost 16 years old. I'm sorry, I'm scared... Please don't be angry."
Well, as soon as she saw that she had been recognized, she immediately admitted her mistake, and even had such a pitiful expression that made it impossible to scold her. This little girl is definitely a drama queen!
Not only is she a drama queen, but she's also smart!
She seemed to be intimidated by Lin Tian, but she wasn't actually scared at all. Instead, she quickly made up a whole string of lies.
The reason for falsifying the age was to prevent Lin Tian from having ulterior motives and preying on girls under the age of 14. The punishment for doing so would be much more severe than if he were to prey on a 16-year-old girl.
Other things like her friends eating at a restaurant, her parents looking for her, or her movie being filmed soon, are probably all lies. The purpose of these lies is only one thing: to make Lin Tian feel that... this girl is someone I can't afford to offend, and I can't have any ulterior motives towards her.
He's a real shrewd person!
If Lin Tian hadn't recognized her, he would have been completely fooled.
Of all her long speech just now, except for the last sentence praising Lin Tian's good looks, the rest was probably all lies!
Don't ask how Master Lin figured it out, he's just that confident!
"Are you angry with me? Can you still take me back to the restaurant?" Portman asked Lin Tian cautiously.
"Let's go, I can't really leave you here alone." Seeing that Portman's aggrieved eyes were about to well up with tears, Lin Tian could only give in. What could he do with such a dramatic and talented girl?
There's no way to do it!
There's nothing that can be done in multiple senses.
But it's alright, anyway, Portman hasn't aged badly. She's still at her peak of beauty even at 40! She's a true evergreen beauty. We can't do it now, but maybe we can in a couple of years!
Hearing that Lin Tian wasn't angry, the tears in Portman's eyes vanished instantly, and she skipped ahead, saying, "Over here! Thank you for seeing me off. I'll never wander around alone again! Anyone who says Miami is safe is lying!"
Lin Tian said, "They're not lying to you. A strong man like me, who is 190 centimeters tall, is very safe in Miami. But it's normal for a minor like you to be unsafe anywhere!"
The two chatted as they walked. After all, she was a little girl under 16 years old. No matter how dramatic or clever she was, she was easily exposed when she met Lin Tian, a seasoned psychology major. In less than 5 minutes, Lin Tian had found out about Portman's situation.
Of all those answers, the only one that's true is that she's leaving for Los Angeles tomorrow morning to film Star Wars is that she's really going to be a complete liar!
Her parents didn't come; she came to Miami for vacation with her assistant, agent, and a friend. Apart from the friend who came with her, the other bodyguards, assistants, and agents probably didn't know that she had secretly slipped out of the restaurant.
She found her bodyguards and assistants too annoying, restricting her from going to this and that, and always following her around, making it impossible for her to have fun.
So she asked her friend to cover for her as she climbed over the wall from the restaurant's restroom, ready to experience the hot Miami sea breeze. Little did she know that this experience would lead her to encounter the hot little karaomis of Miami.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Lin Tian, she really doesn't know what kind of danger she would have encountered!
The two walked and talked, and soon, Lin Tian had completely stripped Portman naked.
In short, Lin Tian found out everything about Portman's dreams, hobbies, views on choosing a partner, things she wanted to do, and her favorite celebrities.
The little girl's innocent and carefree demeanor makes it easy for people to develop a liking for her.
Of course, more importantly, the girl is undeniably beautiful! A rare combination of acting skills and stunning looks in Hollywood, plus an exceptionally high IQ. If Lin Tian remembers correctly, Portman was taking the college entrance exam after Star Wars… well, the American college entrance exam!
Then, he got accepted to both Yale and Harvard. Finally, he made a difficult decision to bring his talents to Harvard University's psychology department. Hey, he's in the same major as my Mr. Lin!
"Wow, you're amazing! The psychology department at the University of Pennsylvania is one of the top five in the world! The students there must be all academic superstars and geniuses! Are there a lot of handsome guys in the psychology department? Are they all as handsome as you?"
Portman's voice continued to come through. If this were an anime, the little girl's eyes would definitely be sparkling with stars, full of beautiful dreams for the future!
"It's decided! I'm going to study psychology too! Wire-rimmed glasses, suits, refined scoundrels, hypocrites! Oh! I like guys who study psychology!" Portman said, then turned back to look at Lin Tian and added, "And those amazing muscles! I've decided, I'm going to study psychology too!"
Is it really because of such a simple, direct, and unpretentious reason that Portman studied psychology?
Isn't it to better explore the core of the character, draw the character's arc, better understand the character, and integrate into the character?
Lin Tian really wanted to tell Portman that someone as handsome as him couldn't possibly be found among all the psychology departments in the entire state. If someone were to use him as the standard for going to school, they would definitely be disappointed.
But seeing Portman's excited expression, Lin Tian still felt that... such inhumane things as beating up little girls should be left to society!
My role is to stand behind the girls, wiping away their tears, soothing their wounds, and providing them with warmth!
The two walked along the beach to a pier, where there was a very stylish floating restaurant, still brightly lit. It seemed that Portman and her friends, assistants, and bodyguards were having their meal there.
However, before the two of them could get close, they saw a large group of people walking out of the restaurant and running towards Lin Tian and Portman.
When the two groups were about 10 meters apart, they suddenly stopped and didn't move. Then, a girl at the front of the group, who was even smaller than Portman, burst into tears and ran towards Portman.
"Natalie, I'm so scared, Natalie! I'm so afraid I'll never see you again!" As she spoke, she hugged Portman and buried her face in his shoulder, bursting into tears. Her pitiful appearance made Lin Tian feel as if Portman had been missing for 30 days, not just 30 minutes.
It's too exaggerated!
Sure enough, when Lin Tian carefully observed the little girl's expression, he noticed that while she was crying, her eyes were rolling around, and then she looked up and made eye contact with Lin Tian, without showing any embarrassment.
Instead, while crying, she winked triumphantly at Lin Tian.
Another little drama queen!
A friend who's a drama queen is indeed a drama queen too.
Besides being incredibly dramatic, they're all also very beautiful!
Another beauty in the making!
Well, unfortunately, Master Lin had absolutely no interest in or sexual interest in overly naive girls, so after glancing at her twice and not recognizing who she was, he stopped staring at her. He figured he would recognize her eventually anyway.
The group of adults behind the little girl immediately separated a few people. Some went to comfort the two crying little girls, while a middle-aged man walked towards Lin Tian.
"Thank you so much, sir. We were very worried about Natalie after she ran away, and we are truly grateful! Her safe return is all thanks to you! I am Natalie's short-term guardian, my name is Chris, and I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you once again. I hope Natalie did not cause you any trouble."
Seeing Chris's grateful expression, Lin Tian felt a little bored.
That's it?
Seeing you menacingly walking towards me, I, Lin Da Guanren, was fully expecting to encounter some kind of racial discrimination, to be easily appeased with some money, or to be quietly led away by the girl, perhaps even with a threat like, "Don't even dream about it, our Natalie is a princess you can't afford to be near," or something like that.
But the result...
This guy is actually being so nice?
Lin Tian scratched his head and said with a smile, "You're welcome, it was nothing, but you really need to keep an eye on her. When I saw her just now, she was..."
"I was taking a walk on the beach and got lost, and he brought me back!" Now that he had stopped crying after being comforted, Portman turned around and spoke before Lin Tian could, then looked at Lin Tian with pleading eyes.
Damn! What a little drama queen!
Don't look at me, Lord Lin, with those pitiful puppy eyes. I'm not buying it!
It's just a straight line along the beach, how could you get lost? No way!
"Yes, Natalie is right, she almost got lost!" Lin Tian nodded, indicating that Natalie was cute and that everything she said was true.
After a while, the little girl next to Portman stopped crying. She was holding Portman's hand and whispering something in his ear, while her hands and eyes kept pointing in Lin Tian's direction. It was a pity that Lin Tian didn't have super hearing and couldn't hear how the two little girls were praising his looks.
That's how confident Mr. Lin is! Two young girls, barely even experiencing love yet, are whispering to each other in front of me right now; they must be praising my good looks!
"Sir, forgive my intrusion, but I'm an agent. You're really handsome and have a great physique! I think you could definitely make a name for yourself in Hollywood! Are you interested in developing a career in the entertainment industry? Or what do you do for a living now?" Chris looked at Lin Tian, eagerly awaiting his answer.
"Yes, yes! You can come with us! Chris is so nice! We're going to England to film Star Wars! If you'd like, I can find you a role!" Portman immediately said with a grin, "You should come with us!"
"Natalie!" Chris sighed, covering his head in exasperation. He had his eye on Lin Tian and wanted to talk to him about a collaboration, hoping to sign this handsome Asian man. After all, Hollywood was currently lacking this type of good-looking guy. But to give Lin Tian a role in Star Wars would be going too far.
This is a top-tier production with an investment of over 1 million US dollars. You, Natalie, are just a supporting actress, yet you're giving others roles? Unless you're given the role of some extra, the kind of character with no lines or even a clear face, who just yells and charges forward only to get killed by the main character.
Other roles? Don't even think about it.
Lin Tian noticed Chris's predicament and patted his rather likable agent with a smile, saying, "Let's talk about it another time. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. You guys keep an eye on Natalie and don't let her run away again."
"But I still don't know your name or what you do for a living." Portman called out to Lin Tian, suddenly realizing that they had been talking all the way and she didn't even know what Lin Tian did or what his name was. How was she going to run into him in the future? She couldn't possibly go to every mental health clinic in the United States one by one!
"Turn on CBS Sports at 8:30 tomorrow night, they'll tell you my name." Lin Tian waved his hand, just about to leave gracefully, when another voice called out to him.
"So, can I... touch your abs? You're really handsome, uncle!" This time, it was the little girl who was even younger than Portman who called out to him.
Lin Tian then realized that he hadn't buttoned his shirt at all! Portman had walked with him the whole way without reminding him!
I have no idea how many times she looked at me or how much she took advantage of me!
Sigh... When will men ever be able to stand up again?! I'm so angry and shivering!
"Knightley! That's very rude of you!" The leader, Portman, stopped her friend, muttering, "I haven't even touched her yet!"
"I don't believe it! You walked with him for so long, how could you not touch him? I don't believe it! You definitely touched him!" Knightley pouted, her face full of disbelief.
Well, broadly speaking, Natalie did touch him, and quite thoroughly; the two of them were practically glued together.
Strictly speaking, Natalie didn't actually get involved; it was Lin Tian who did.
Perhaps it was with this thought in mind that Portman's usually shy face finally flushed red, showing some embarrassment.
"Look! You're blushing! You really touched it! I knew it! How was it? Does it feel good? I've never touched such handsome and well-built abs before!" Knightley excitedly grabbed Portman's hand and shook it repeatedly.
"Knightlie!" Chris called out, frowning. These two girls, who were going through a rebellious and confused phase, were really too difficult to handle.
"I'm just curious." Knightley stuck out her little tongue, pouted playfully, and whispered in Portman's ear, "Tell me more when we get to the hotel tonight!"
After saying that, she finally calmed down.
"I'm sorry, sir. Please excuse the commotion. Kids can be too enthusiastic sometimes," Chris said apologetically to Lin Tian.
"It's nothing, I like it. Kids should be like that, full of energy! That's what makes them lovable." After saying that, Lin Tian knew he should leave. Anyway, there wouldn't be any follow-up today, so he waved his hand and left.
"He's so handsome!" Knightley was clearly even more infatuated than Portman, exclaiming as she looked at Lin Tian's retreating figure.
"It's a pity he just wouldn't say what he did or what his name was, so we'll never know where to find him again." Portman also looked regretful.
"Didn't he say he was going to find him on CBS Sports? Is he a reporter? The kind who reports on dark, shady things, punishes evil and promotes good, and rids people of harm?"
"You two are talking about Clark Kent!" Chris rolled his eyes. "Let's go, we have to catch a flight tomorrow. Let's go back and get some sleep tonight. Once we get to London, we'll be filming intensively for at least 3-4 months!"
As for Lin Tian, he didn't turn back to greet the two girls, but went straight back to his hotel.
He had just remembered who Knightley was.
She is a child actress who will play the Queen's double in "Star Wars", another child star with good acting skills, and also the charming, sexy, brave, energetic and passionate Elizabeth Swann in "Pirates of the Caribbean"!
That is, Keira Knightley!
The important thing is... another child star who hasn't grown up to be ugly and whose popularity has been going strong for a long time!
What a fruitful evening!
