The blonde girl’s name is Ana de Armas, a Cuban Spanish woman. Zhang Yang has an impression of her; she’s called ’Little Monroe’ in the future, is the same age as him, and in two or three months will be 20 years old.
The role Armas played that impressed him the most was an AI girlfriend, nicknamed ’The Dream of Otakus’ in the Asia-Pacific region.
Armas truly made a mark in Hollywood about ten years later. Currently, she’s still in Europe filming TV series, including some restricted comedies. Her work in America only consists of minor roles. Since starting at age 17 in 2005, she has been trying to break into Hollywood, filming TV series in Europe each year to save money before heading to America to take minor roles...
This time coming to America, once again chasing the ’American Dream’, the worst was running into a scammer. She was filled with joy thinking she had paid for connections and could play a role with some lines, but after paying, the other party disappeared without a trace.
She wasn’t discouraged; setbacks were nothing new. She planned to return to Spain to continue filming TV series, save enough money, and then come back to America to seek opportunities.
Before leaving, she and her girlfriends, who also came to break into Hollywood, planned to let loose and vent their emotions and accepted the invitation from the Dean’s wife to attend this party.
As she roamed around, she finally found Zhang Yang, whose looks and physique satisfied her...
With the help of alcohol, the talkative Zhang Yang and Armas chatted, moving from the banquet hall to the room reserved by the Dean’s wife, until Armas’ underwear was talked off, and her secrets were completely revealed.
The exploration of life’s origins, Zhang Yang and the blonde girl engaged for half the night.
From skills that were noticeably rusty to regaining feeling, to hitting their stride... this part is omitted for thirty thousand words...
The next day, close to noon, Zhang Yang woke up from a deep sleep and saw that nobody was beside him anymore.
Sitting up, he noticed several balloons and wrappers tossed on the bedside table, feeling a soreness in his waist.
"Sure enough, there’s only a cow that gets exhausted, no field that gets worn out. This blonde chick, just took off without even a word, indeed pulling up her pants and not knowing anyone..."
Mumbling to himself, Zhang Yang got up and loosened his waist and back, planning to take a shower and head back to the hotel, needing to gather for departure to Denver at two in the afternoon.
The room arranged by the Dean’s wife was a complete suite with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, restroom, bedroom... everything was there. Zhang Yang marveled that the Dean’s wife was truly impressive.
From an unknown Hollywood minor actress, she became the wife of the Phoenix University’s Dean, took the wealthy Dean’s money into her own hands, and grew her business bigger and bigger... Even as a married woman, frequently hosting parties and sleeping with young and strong athletes, handsome young actors, no one sees her in the wrong. Instead, they laugh at the over-sixty-year-old Dean who can’t satisfy her.
Naked, he opened the bedroom door preparing to go to the bathroom, and saw someone in the living room...
He thought the blonde girl had pulled up her pants and run away but she was sitting at the dining table in a loose posture, wearing a robe and having breakfast with her girlfriend she had mentioned!
Seeing Zhang Yang come out , Armas froze, a mouthful of milk dribbled down her chin.
Her girlfriend was wide-eyed, her mouth agape, and stared fixedly at Zhang Yang, having just slept soundly all night, his usual mighty presence in the morning, swallowed hard.
Zhang Yang quickly shut the door, took a robe from the wardrobe to wrap himself up, reopened the room door, and dashed to the bathroom at the fastest speed of his life.
"Anna, oh my god, you weren’t exaggerating, it’s really that big! So handsome, great physique, why didn’t you invite me too? Eating alone!"
"Who told you to eat without picking, randomly choosing someone. Man, you must learn to persist..."
Just stepping into the bathroom door, Zhang Yang heard the wicked words behind him and quickly closed the door.
This blonde girl, talking dirty but still able to raise the stakes, worthy of sticking it out for ten years in minor roles until her thirties and becoming an inspiring Bond girl.
But you know, after her makeup was teased off, she doesn’t look as breathtaking as when they first met last night.
Typically, Zhang Yang showers quickly, but this time he lingered, estimating that both girls had likely left only then did he dress in a robe and return to the living room... seeing Armas with freshly done makeup, turning to smile at him.
Armas slowly walked to Zhang Yang, stood on tiptoe, reached up to hook her arms around Zhang Yang’s neck, pulled him down, and kissed him.
Unable to bear it, Zhang Yang picked up the blonde girl, amid her exclamation returned to the bedroom, took a balloon from the bedside table... this part is omitted for eight thousand words...
An hour later, the two said goodbye outside the manor, each took a car and left.
Zhang Yang and Armas exchanged contact information, planned to have a meal together when free. He felt he was the ’meal’ she referred to.
His feelings were complicated at the moment, but after returning to the hotel, packing his things and heading to the parking lot to meet the team, heading to the airport, discussing with teammates about tomorrow’s game, he put Armas out of his mind.
Occasionally meeting for a meal was okay, but he didn’t think beyond that, purely they were both enjoying each other’s looks and figure with each other.
In the afternoon, around 4 o’clock, the Bobcats’ chartered plane landed at Denver Airport.
Just getting off the plane, many in the Bobcats experienced some discomfort, the team doctor diagnosed it as mild altitude sickness.
Zhang Yang remembered in the past two years coming here to play away games, some teammates also experienced altitude sickness, but not many, after all, their Bobcats are mainly young players.
This time the symptoms were so widespread, one reason being it’s the tail end of the season, stamina issues are nearly at breaking point, and also just finished a four-game series in five days, resting for two nights most teammates still haven’t recovered.
