Chapter 8: I'm Leaving

The cold water in the shower calmed Lin Ming Yang's feverish mind, and the long suppressed indignation in his heart after the big fight with his coach was swept away. In the past, he would never have made such a reckless move, and if he hadn't had the outbreak of the scandal with Megan as an opportunity, he wouldn't have been able to vent this repression in his heart in a painful manner.

The experience of two lives makes Lin Mingyang's mental age add up to already counted as an uncompromising strange uncle, excessive maturity so that he has been careful to maintain a low-profile and rational attitude towards life after crossing, but ignored the actual physical age of this body should have the nature of the teenager. The hormones of puberty did not leave too many traces of pimples on his face, but without any trace, his heart became restless. This might be this feeling called youth, which inadvertently made everything change.

Jefferson who was choked by Lin Ming Yang's last sentence and was half speechless did not realize that he was actually suffering from an undeserved disaster, calming down he helplessly accepted the fact that the team could not be separated from Lin Ming Yang. He had a fiery temper, but that didn't mean he was a willful person. So after training, he made a call to Lin Mingyang's home.

"Hello, here Kentley Community 12!" The voice of Lin Mingyang's mother, Catherine, came from the other end of the phone.

"Good afternoon, ma'am!" Jefferson greeted the other party politely on the phone, he had met Lin Mingyang's parents before and had had coffee together. "I'm Felix's basketball coach, can I speak to him now?"

"It's Mr. Jefferson, ah, I'm sorry, Felix isn't back yet!" Kathryn checked the time, "At this time of day, he should still be at practice!"

"He left early!" Jefferson was also puzzled, during the last intermission, a team member told him that Lin Ming Yang's locker was unlocked, but the bag inside was gone, it was obvious that Lin Ming Yang had left before this.

But that should have been more than forty minutes ago. Jefferson knew that Lin Mingyang's home was in the neighborhood near the school, and after such a long time, Lin Mingyang should have arrived home even if he dawdled.

"He hasn't returned home!" Catherine heard a hint of something strange in the other party's hesitant tone, "Mr. Jefferson, did something happen?"

"Oh no!" Jefferson lied, "I'm the one who made him leave early, so if he comes back, have him give me a call!"

Jefferson didn't know where Lin Ming Yang was, likewise Catherine wasn't sure, hanging up the phone both of them were a little anxious. Jefferson was worried that Lin Ming Yang would do something stupid outside because he had a big fight with himself. Catherine on the other hand was very curious about this phone call from Jefferson today, she always felt that between this coach and her own son, something else should have happened. But they did have one thought rise in their minds at the same time at this moment:

"Where did this kid die?"

Sitting on a bench in the community park, Lin Mingyang sneezed three times without warning, rubbing his nose vigorously, looking at Megan Fox beside him as she intimately played with the little wildcat in her arms, he suddenly felt that his promise to send the other party home would not be with some whim.

Time rewind to half an hour ago, Lin Ming Yang carrying his own bag calmly walked out of the locker room, but at the corner of the corridor was startled by Megan Fox who suddenly jumped out.

"Hi Felix!"A pair of punk style jeans outlined Megan's slender legs and high up seductive buttocks, a pink blouse was zipped up to below her chest, inside was a low-cut white tight T-shirt, from Lin Ming Yang's angle, the scenery of Megan's breasts was unobstructed, a sight that would make every normal man's heart sing. A picture that would make every normal man spurt blood.

"Damn!" Lin Ming Yang secretly cursed in his heart, because the previous images of living color had already caused his lower body to already react in a very indisputable way, fortunately he was wearing loose sportswear, and the hill bulging below his abdomen was not so obvious.

Having seen too many boys looking foolish in front of her, Megan didn't care too much, being able to make Lin Mingyang, the Prince Charming in the hearts of all the girls in the school, appear this infatuated, it gave her a sense of accomplishment.

"Is it good looking?" Megan, this evil little woman's seductive words accompanied by the fawning expression on her face were always able to arouse the most primitive impulses in a man's heart. Of course, this was mainly due to her exquisite and very special face, a blend of Irish, French and Indian Cherokee blood gave her the most unique hybrid charm.

Megan had tried this trick many times before, and many young boys had been mesmerized by her. Lin Mingyang almost fell into her trap, but once in front of the hands of this charming beauty had suffered a secret loss, for Megan deliberately "seduce", Lin Mingyang on the contrary, vigilant.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Mingyang's face didn't have the anxious expression that Megan had expected, which made her somewhat vaguely disappointed. But in a flash she reenergized her spirit, the more difficult the guy was, the more it would make this girl in a period of growing up and rebellion develop a stronger interest. The "game" with Lin Mingyang became more and more interesting in Megan's eyes.

"You forgot, I'm the captain of the school's cheerleading squad!" Megan proudly shook the key in her hand in front of Lin Ming Yang, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

"I heard that the Firefoxes are aiming for the league championship this year?"

"That's for sure!" Lin Mingyang said without thinking.

"So I should celebrate you in advance!" For some reason, when she said this Megan's complexion suddenly flashed with a trace of grief that was not easily noticed. It was reasonable to say that if the Fire Foxes were able to break into the finals, as a cheerleader Megan should be even happier, it was a nationally televised game, which meant that she had more chances to attract the attention of others, which should be of great help to her future path of acting in Hollywood, but for the first time this girl's complexion in front of her gave Lin Ming Yang the feeling that he could not see through her.

"Is there anything else you're looking for me for?" A pretty girl's hidden sorrow is much easier to capture a man's heart than a sexy appearance, to the extent that Lin Ming Yang's next tone became much softer.

"I know that that incident at noon today caused you quite a bit of trouble!" Megan seemed to be hesitating for a moment, "So I wanted to say sorry to say you!" Word of that little incident at the stairway had gotten around pretty quickly...

"Sorry?" Lin Ming Yang blinked hard, it was hard for him to believe that such words could actually come out of the mouth of such a proud girl like Megan, even though the other party had indeed caused him quite a bit of trouble, it was far from the point where she needed to personally run over and apologize. "I think you're mistaken, things shouldn't be as serious as you think!"

"Are you sure this isn't a consolation?"

"I think the one who needs to be comforted right now should be me!" Lin Mingyang's joke-like complaint amused Megan.

"Alright, those two kisses from before, count them as my consolation to you!" Megan nodded with a smile.

"So we're sort of even!" Lin Ming Yang, who had lowered his "guard", touched his face, "It seems like I'm at a disadvantage with the two kisses!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he received a heavy punch on his chest, "Plus this should be enough!" Megan raised her pink fist, "This is specifically for perverts!"

Rubbing his somewhat sore chest, Lin Ming Yang realized that he had underestimated this woman's force value from the very beginning, had he known that she was so violent, he shouldn't have said such frivolous words just now.

"You crazy girl!" He couldn't help but curse.

"Who let you try to take advantage of me!" Megan grunted, "To make it up to me, you have to take me home today!"

In this way, Lin Ming Yang was forced to accept this "honorable mission", who knew that halfway there, Megan suddenly offered to sit in the park by the roadside. She found a very quiet corner of the park with ease, sitting on a lonely bench, Lin Mingyang suddenly came up with an absurd idea, is this considered to be a date?

However, Megan's next action proved that Lin Mingyang was completely delusional, she magically changed out a bag of cat food from her clothes pocket, and then "meowed" twice to the bushes behind her, a small gray and yellow wild cat leaped out of the bushes without warning, and then jumped into Megan's embrace very gently.

Megan had been quietly feeding this little wildcat, so it wasn't afraid of being born in Megan's arms at all, "This is Ava, I happened to meet her here a few months ago, and then we became good friends, and I come here every day to feed her!"

"Why don't you take it home?" Lin Ming Yang wasn't a fan of keeping pets, but seeing how well Megan and this little wild cat got along, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It likes to live freely, and so do I!"

Lin Ming Yang laughed and didn't answer, he went to a nearby vending machine and bought two cans of drinks, when he came back the cat food in Megan's hand had already been eaten by the little wild cat in her arms.

Holding the drinks in both hands Megan let the little wildcat lie meekly in her arms, this time Lin Ming Yang also unscrewed his own can.

"I might have to leave for a while!" Megan said softly.

"A long period of time?" At this time, Lin Ming Yang finally understood why Megan had said earlier in the gym that she wanted to celebrate herself early.

"I'm not sure, I shouldn't be able to make it in time for the Firefox finals!" Megan glanced sideways at Lin Ming Yang, "I'm sorry I can't be there to cheer you on!"

"That game should be live on TV!" Megan's somewhat gloomy mood seemed to have infected Lin Ming Yang beside him, and he even began to try to comfort this girl with whom he had only had three official encounters.

"I thought this news would make you happy, because as soon as I leave, your troubles at school will be over!" Megan quickly got rid of that sadness, even she didn't know why she had shared this secret with Lin Ming Yang.

"Maybe!" Lin Ming Yang nodded, at the moment he wasn't happy, instead he had an empty feeling in his heart.

"Aren't you going to ask me where I'm going?" The loss in Megan's heart was no less than Lin Mingyang's.

"To Hollywood?" Lin Ming Yang spoke that answer that he already knew in his heart.

"How did you know?" This time it was Megan's turn to be a little surprised.

"Isn't that your dream!" From the time Megan met to the time they parted, it was only a short two days, but Lin Ming Yang felt at this time that he was about to leave a very familiar friend of his.

Megan Fox, this beautiful name should belong to Hollywood, not to Moss Middle School or the Firefoxes. She had finally spread her wings and was ready to fly to that more expansive stage. Lin Ming Yang, on the other hand, just sat quietly on the side, holding an emotion that he didn't know whether it was joy or sadness, staring blankly at the distant sky.

"A Hollywood director has taken a liking to me, he's preparing to shoot a TV series, even though it's just a supporting role, I think it's an opportunity!"

"A TV series?" Lin Ming Yang froze, under the impression that Megan Fox's several works before she was spotted by the great director Michael Bay to star in Transformers were not well known and were all unremarkable supporting roles.

He was tempted to say you can actually wait a little longer, but the words came out of his mouth. Although he already had an unspoken favorable impression of this sexy and beautiful girl, it was not enough for him to make up his mind to change the trajectory of the other party's life.

Megan gently picked up the little wildcat in her arms and cradled her in her arms, "Actually, I have you to thank for this!"

"Thank me?" Lin Mingyang froze.

"That director watched the televised broadcast of the game where the Fire Foxes broke into the league's top eight, and he admired that performance I gave at halftime, so that's why I got the part!"

Megan's explanation gave Lin Ming Yang a strange feeling, he didn't know if Megan in her previous life had gained the favor of the opposing director because of this, but it was true that Lin Ming Yang had contributed a lot to the Fire Foxes being able to kill the final and finally break into the top eight. But if there was no strange thought that he had crossed over, the Lin Mingyang of his past life would have consciously practiced his basketball skills hard since he was a child because he liked the NBA?

For such a hypothesis Lin Mingyang expressed great skepticism, the only reasonable explanation is that his appearance has changed something, but then accidentally pushed Megan back to her original trajectory of fame.

"If that's the case, I hope you can come back before the finals!" Lin Ming Yang thought for a moment, if this could also draw others' attention to Megan, he himself might be able to help her even further.

"Isn't there still live television?" Megan smiled and shook her head, "I'll be sure to watch it then!"

"That's the finals, more people will see you on TV!" Lin Ming Yang said stubbornly, but when he realized that Megan was gazing at him with a different kind of look, the sentence he had originally thought of suddenly forgot the words. He scratched his head in some embarrassment, "I think more people will see your performance this way, and maybe it's easier to get attention than if you played a supporting role!"

"Thanks!" Megan was suddenly a bit touched, as the boy in front of her did want to help her from the bottom of his heart.

"I'll try my best to lead the team into the finals, and you'll have to work harder in Hollywood, I'll be waiting for you on the day of the game!" Lin Ming Yang stuck out his pinky and then he gestured for Megan to do the same.

"What's this?" Megan watched curiously as Lin Ming Yang hooked the two of their pinkies together.

"This is a traditional Chinese engagement ceremony, once you've pulled the hook you can't go back on it!" Lin Ming Yang smiled brightly, "Let's call this our first promise!"
