Chapter Seventeen: The Halloween Dance

  Yue Feng's hat-trick and assist on Kobe's game-winner made him the best player of the day, he became a celebrity in Los Angeles overnight.

  The next day during training, beautiful soccer scout Lafleur found Ye Feng and asked with a smile: "Hey Ye, are you free tonight? I have a friend who hopes you can be her dance partner for the Halloween dance. She's also an alumna of UCLA, you'll like her."

  Yefeng smiled and said: "If there's a chance, it'll be a masquerade ball? I'm afraid I don't have a costume."

  "She will get you ready, and after training is over, she comes to pick you up."

  Halloween is celebrated on November 1st every year, originating from the ancient Celtic New Year's festival, which is also a time to worship the spirits of the dead. At the same time, it is also a time to offer food to ancestors and good spirits in order to pray for peace and safety during the harsh winter. It is a traditional Western holiday. In addition to costume parties, children will also dress up in costumes, wear masks, and go from door to door collecting candy. Halloween is mainly popular in the British Isles and North America, followed by Australia and New Zealand.

  Today, the festive atmosphere is very strong, and all kinds of Halloween goods are everywhere to be seen. Many terrifying decorations have been placed outside residents' homes, such as zombies, skulls, witches, and of course, pumpkins.

  The masquerade ball is one of the most interesting parties in America, and Yefeng is very interested. Tonight, his apartment will also host a small party, mainly for USC students. It's a pity that he can't spend the holiday with Gabriella, but they are just simple roommates with an agreement not to fall in love, and Gabriella will respect his decision. Lafleur is a celebrity, and the party she invited him to will definitely be high-end, and he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to meet Los Angeles celebrities.

  The girl introduced by Lavin is not an outsider, but Nina Bass, the only daughter of Lakers' prince Johnny Bass. This little princess who grew up with a golden key attended the same school as Ye Feng.

  Ye Feng is quite familiar with Johnny, in his previous life when he was a paparazzo, he exposed some of Johnny's scandals. The Lakers' prince had a very indecent life, every year he would hold a birthday party for thousands of people at a brothel, that brothel was the most famous legal brothel in Nevada, USA. Ye Feng just hopes Nina doesn't follow in her father's footsteps.

  After training, Ye Feng took a shower in the stadium and soon received Nina's call. In no time, Nina drove a cherry-red Ferrari to the stadium. She was dressed in a beautiful black dress with a thin blood-red scar on her face, saying she was dressed as "Bloody Mary".

  "Who would have thought that the Mirror Witch was so beautiful, no wonder so many people like to summon her." Ye Feng said with a smile. Nina was indeed very pretty, with delicate skin and a pair of big eyes that seemed to speak. The Bass family had good genes, just like Jenny who dated Jackson and still looked great at 40. After seeing Nina, he let out a sigh of relief, if the boss's granddaughter was ugly, going to the dance would be depressing.

  "Thank you. Take a look at the clothes I've prepared for you." Nina smiled and pulled out a set of clothes from the trunk, handing them to Ye Feng. At a glance, Ye Feng recognized the outfit as Van Helsing, the vampire hunter. Everyone else was dressed up as ghosts, but he was going as a hunter - wasn't that too conspicuous?

  Nina found the largest size, Ye Feng put on the clothes and they fit perfectly. He came out of the dressing room with a wig and hat, Nina applauded in approval. The only drawback was that Ye Feng was too young, lacking the ruggedness of Hugh Jackman.

  He got into the high-end Ferrari, Ye Feng felt a bit nervous, as if he had suddenly entered the upper class. He smiled and asked: "I haven't recovered my memory since I was struck by lightning, Nina, did we know each other before?"

  Nina smiled and said, "You really have amnesia. I'm a year older than you, and we've only spoken once before. That day, I was arguing with my ex-boyfriend, and he wanted to hit me. You happened to be passing by and beat him up badly. From then on, whenever he saw you, he would hide. Although everyone in school thought you were a troublemaker, I think you're actually a very just person. You've changed so much now - before, you were really cool, but now you smile all the time. I like your new look; before, I didn't even dare to talk to you."

  "It's a miracle this guy wasn't locked up before," Yefeng laughed. "I won't go back to the way I was before."

  Born into the Bass family, Nina was also interested in basketball. She thought that Ye Feng joining the Lakers was a kind of fate, so she invited him to attend the dance party. Women are emotional animals, and their reasons for having a good impression on men are often very simple. They will like wild men, sometimes just because of one action or one sentence. Ye Feng's roughness left a deep impression on her.

  A Ferrari drove into a villa, Ye Feng was surprised to find that he had been here in his previous life. In order to take pictures of the star's Halloween makeup, he and his friends sneaked in here, and it was today.

  The owner of the villa is named Allie Sterling, who is the daughter of Donald Sterling, the boss of the Clippers. In her previous life, a violent injury occurred at this dance party, and Allie pushed her friend Martha down the stairs, causing three fractures, and was subsequently charged. Soon after, the media exposed that Allie was gay. The Sterlings are notorious for being eccentric among NBA owners, and their daughter is no exception.

  It is said that Ariel's dislike of men was caused by her father's private life being improper, Donald had been sued for sexual harassment and kept young prostitutes, which was seen by Ariel and had an impact on her outlook on life.

  Ye Feng is very skeptical of this view. After entering the 21st century, American lesbians have developed into a fashion trend, especially among girls around 20 years old, many people want to try it out. When the National Center for Health Statistics conducted a survey on female homosexuality, many women were willing to admit that they were homosexuals and did not feel embarrassed about it.

  Has he come here? Won't the space-time be chaotic because of this? Ye Feng nervously rubbed his hands, he didn't know if the fall from the building would happen again, or if he would meet his past self, it was too incredible to think about.

  Nina slowed down and asked: "Why are you so serious? Are you uncomfortable in the car?"

  Yue Feng bitterly smiled and said: "Isn't this the Sterling family's mansion? As a Lakers player, coming to the Clippers' home court feels a bit strange."

  Nina smiled: "You know this place? No need to think so much, our two families have always been in close contact. It was my grandfather who suggested that Mr. Stirling operate the fast boat back then."

  Ye Feng nodded, he certainly knew that the two families were closely connected.

  In his past life, he couldn't get close to the villa and could only hide in a tree, taking sneak peeks through the window. This time, however, he walked in openly through the front door. Nina showed him a golden invitation and gently took his arm as they entered the grand hall, where the servants greeted them with courtesy.

  There were already many people in the house, with unique styles that didn't lose their elegance, giving off a sense of chaotic dance. This was Ye Feng's first time attending such a gathering of celebrities, and after entering, he couldn't help but look out the window. It turned out that he had been hiding there to take photos, and he hadn't noticed himself; perhaps this was a parallel world where Lin Ruyi didn't exist.

  Ye Feng's tall and majestic figure, paired with Fan Haixin's attire, exuded an extraordinary aura. Among the wealthy crowd, he quickly became the center of attention. Nina introduced Ye Feng to many friends, who were all down-to-earth and chatted with him about basketball in a relaxed manner. As they conversed, Ye Feng was also at ease, occasionally cracking jokes and making light remarks. He even met one of his favorite movie stars - Adam Sandler! Sandler was an old basketball fan and particularly enjoyed befriending basketball stars; the two hit it off immediately and chatted for half an hour. Sandler jokingly said that if they had met earlier, he would have invited Ye Feng to make a guest appearance in his film "The Longest Yard".

  They ate something casually, and the dance party started. Ye Feng hadn't danced in a long time, fortunately, he still remembered the moves clearly and didn't make a fool of himself. After two dances, some gentlemen came to invite Nina to dance freely, Ye Feng took a cup of drink and sat alone on one side. He kept an eye on the stairs on the second floor, when a man in a suit appeared at the entrance of the stairs, he knew that thing was still going to happen.

  Now that we know the future, let's not let that lady roll down the stairs, it would be tragic if she broke her bones. Yefeng pretended to stroll casually to the staircase and saw two women arguing, he immediately rushed up the stairs like a gust of wind, just in time to catch the woman named Martha being pushed down... Yefeng leaned slightly forward, embracing the woman in his arms, standing firmly, his strength was great, resistant to impact, if it were an ordinary person, they might have rolled down together.

  Martha's face turned pale, she thought she would definitely fall down the stairs, but unexpectedly someone caught her. Ailier was also very surprised, the whole scene only she saw how fast Ye Feng was, in an instant he rushed up, it was simply like a kung fu movie.

  Ye Feng straightened Martha's body and asked softly: "Miss, are you okay?"

  "I'm fine, thank you." Martha said with gratitude, but then glared at Alier resentfully without continuing her sentence.

  Ye Feng touched the brim of his hat, and secretly made a gesture to Ailier, hinting that she should say something. Ailier immediately put on a smiling face, changing her expression faster than flipping through a book, and loudly said to the guests downstairs: "She just tripped, fortunately this gentleman caught her. It's all right, everyone can continue playing."

  Ellie casually turned "pushing someone down the stairs" into "the other person tripped themselves", without arousing suspicion.

  Martha's face was unsightly, she gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Airi, we're done." After that, she slowly went downstairs holding onto the handrail.

  Ariel let out a sigh and sat down on the sofa on the second floor. Ye Feng walked over and sighed, "You're being too impulsive, this frail girl will get hurt if she rolls down and breaks her bones, you'll be sued."

  Ariel smiled slightly: "You've seen it all? Thanks for helping me, Hungry Wolf."

  Airi called Ye Feng's nickname, and Ye Feng looked at her more, feeling that her smile was very manly. She must be the one playing the male role in the lily, it's quite interesting to talk to such a woman.
