No. 9 was Zhangdong Feng's number when he played basketball. He did go to Christy Zhong's middle school to play basketball, and he was a popular figure at that time.
He was very excited, it seemed that they were predestined, but at that time, they had not been able to recognize each other! It was incredible that after so many years, someone could remember him and this number!
"It's me! You saw me then, didn't you?" Zhangdong couldn't help getting more excited. He thought they were decreed of fate.
Christy was also a little excited and said seriously, "well, I didn't know you were the big brother. Do you know I was a basketball fan at that time? I watched all your games!"
It seemed that she and Zhangdong were predestined friends! Maybe she really shouldn't think too much but should listen to him carefully and get along well with him.
If we could make the relationship and behavior simpler, maybe things would be better to handle.
He said with ecstasy, "that's great. How coincidence! Fortunately, now I find you again. We must get along well in the future." It felt like there was an invisible net covering them together.
Christy was not in the mood to talk about these things. After all, James Feng may come in at any time. She had to figure out how to explain.
Christy asked nervously and doubtfully, "I said I knew you when I was playing basketball. Is that OK?"
Actually, this reason was not good. James was a smart man. It was not easy to cheat him with a little trick.
But Zhangdong said firmly, "that's it. You said we met by chance. How did I get there and why my flight was advanced. Finally, you have to find a way to explain why you came to the cafe." In fact, he was reminding her in the end.
Maybe the reason why they knew each other was convincing, but how did she get to the cafe during her working hours? Lying was not an easy thing. Once you made up one, then you had to make up more.
Christy never made lies except about Justin, so now it was a great test for her. She had to find a simple reason, which needed no one to cooperate with her.
"I see. It's just that we recognize each other. Nothing else. OK?" Christy confirmed several problems with him, and then hung up. She had to think of a reasonable reason to explain that she went to the cafe, otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with.
The reasons she could think of were not convincing. She was distressed, suddenly her mobile phone rang. It was Xinping Fang, "are you busy recently, Christy? Come out for a meal when you have time. I'm back to my original house. Please visit my home."
Xinping, who had been missing for some time, and now she was back on track. Although Christy didn't want to get too close to her, Xinping was the person who helped her. So Christy still needed to get in touch with her. And if she had a little trouble in the future, she could not refuse to help.
