Chapter 139 - Chapter 140: Off Night

The next morning, Kai Chen reluctantly propped himself up, looking at Mallory, who was satisfied and shy, and asked with a chuckle, "How was it?"

"Did it feel pretty good?!"

Hearing this, Mallory gave him an annoyed glare, her red lips pressed together, not speaking.

The feeling of being swallowed whole by a long sword last night was something she had never experienced before.

The peak brought by that swelling sensation, though somewhat painful, left her unforgettable.

The dissatisfaction in her heart towards Kai had long since vanished, leaving only shyness.

This man didn't know how to be gentle at all; he was clearly like a Arizona Ice Tea, yet he liked to use so much force.

She almost couldn't bear it, and in the future...

As soon as she thought that she might rarely experience such a satisfying feeling with Kai again, a strange sense of loss welled up in her heart.

But this thought was only fleeting and was quickly suppressed by her.

"Why didn't you argue so much last night?!"

Just as Mallory was lost in thought, Kai suddenly chuckled and said this.

Hearing that, Mallory looked at Kai even more angrily.

"Didn't you say you would join us after your rookie contract expired?!"

Suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, Mallory still found an excuse for herself.

Hearing this, Kai immediately laughed.

She really was a silly woman!

His rookie contract ending didn't mean he would be a free agent.

The Los Angeles Clippers had a team option; only if they didn't exercise it would he have a chance to join the Milwaukee Bucks.

Given his current performance, did she think the Clippers wouldn't offer him a big contract?

Looking at the somewhat foolish Mallory, Kai explained to her and promised that if the Clippers didn't re-sign him, he would definitely join the Milwaukee Bucks.

"The Fuck?!!"

Hearing Kai's explanation, Mallory disregarded her physical discomfort, stood up directly from the bed, pointed at Kai, and roared loudly, "Did you know this all along?"

"You were playing me!!"

Looking at the naked Mallory in front of him, Kai said very innocently, "How could that be?"

"If I lied to you, I wouldn't promise to join the Milwaukee Bucks!"

"Besides, you're the daughter of an NBA team owner; don't you know about rookie contracts like this??"

"You... I!!!"

An angry voice rang out, and Mallory pushed Kai, then found her clothes and began to dress expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Kai quickly pulled her into a hug, their eyes met and Kai chuckled, ignoring her resistance and cold gaze: "Don't worry, since I promised, I will definitely join the Milwaukee Bucks."

"It's just a matter of time."

"Think about it, when I join you with the aura of a superstar, won't that make the Bucks more known?"

As he said these words, Kai's eyes were sincere and burning, leaving Mallory stunned.

It took a full minute after he finished speaking for Mallory's delicate brows to slightly relax: "Really?"

Looking at the skeptical Mallory, Kai chuckled, "What good would it do me to lie to you?"

"Besides, joining the Bucks means I can share a room with you in the future, so of course I'm looking forward to it!"

Hearing this, Mallory's tightly furrowed brows completely relaxed, and looking at his handsome face, she suddenly smiled charmingly: "Alright, this I'll believe you for now."

Kai raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong, am I not honest enough with you?!"

Saying that, Kai gestured to Mallory with his eyes.

"Hmph!"

Mallory deliberately grabbed with her small hand, catching Kai vital spot: "Ah??"

"Why is it reacting again??"

"What can I do? It's all because your charm is too great!"

Kai chuckled, his eyes burning as he stared at Mallory, making her face flush.

"I don't care... You can't mess around this time!"

"I don't care either, you have to figure out a way to solve this for me!"

Hearing this, Mallory gave him an annoyed glare, her gaze began to move downwards, slowly leaning down.

Seeing this, Kai raised an eyebrow, revealing a smug expression.

Feeling it... Kai couldn't help but gasp, looking at Mallory who was diligently cleaning, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards, then he leaned back, resting his head on his hands, and closed his eyes to enjoy.

.....

That night, the Los Angeles Clippers, playing back-to-back, finally suffered a sniper attack from the Two Emperors in Philadelphia.

Today, the Los Angeles Clippers' interior was completely dominated by Embiid alone.

Coach Rivers tried to use the Hack-a-Shaq strategy on Embiid.

But it proved that for a big center who dreams of playing point guard, using the Hack-a-Shaq strategy on him was undoubtedly giving away points.

Ultimately, the home team Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 112:106, handing them their third loss of the season.

Embiid shot 18-of-20 from the free-throw line, tallying a super performance of 42 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 blocks.

Under the combined assault of back-to-back games and Mallory, Kai was completely lost in Philadelphia, delivering his worst game of the season.

He shot 5-of-20 from the field, scoring a season-low 24 points.

His poor performance also left the Los Angeles Clippers unable to turn the tide.

However, the team's loss allowed the Los Angeles Clippers coaching staff to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, Kai was still just a rookie; long-term high-efficiency scoring also kept him highly stressed mentally.

Losing a game, having an off night, sometimes is not necessarily a bad thing.

Two days later!

The Clippers continued their East Coast trip, not letting the losing streak continue.

They defeated the Miami Heat on the road, and Kai's form also bounced back from rock bottom.

After losing to Philadelphia, this young core faced an unprecedented wave of ridicule online.

But he quickly redeemed himself with a "routine" performance.

He scored 50 points in a single game, helping his team secure a victory in Miami!

After the game ended, Kai fans also retaliated!

"You thought Kai Chen would continue to struggle!? He was just playing with you!"

"No way, you have to criticize him so much for one bad game!"

"One bad game is normal, it's an 82-game season!"

"Even Jordan and Kobe had off-nights, don't scrutinize Kai Chen with a magnifying glass!"
