Golden Fishery

48. Toronto Nights

Toronto is the provincial capital of Ontario and the largest city in Canada. Its international reputation surpasses that of Canada's capital, Ottawa.

After going out, Qin Shiou hired a taxi, which cost 800 Canadian dollars a night, which is not expensive.

"What do you want to see?" The taxi driver was an enthusiastic Aryan bearded, "If you want to eat, I suggest you go to the Greek Food City, of course, Chinatown is also great; if you want to enjoy the night view, then go to Rose Fruit tour; shopping, then go to Queen Street West.”

Winnie said: "Take us to the Aviation Center gym, I know there is an NBA game today, the Raptors against the Warriors."

The bearded driver blinked and said, "Hire a taxi to watch a football game? To be honest, you guys are really creative."

After he said that, he put on the gear and stepped on the accelerator to go out. He saw the basketball logo on Qin Shiou's jacket through the rearview mirror. The driver laughed and said, "Young man, your girlfriend is awesome, beautiful and considerate, it must be what you want. Watching a basketball game, eh?"

Qin Shiou was wearing an NBA long-sleeved T-shirt. Apparently, Winnie noticed this and chose to watch the game together.

This made him feel a little unhappy. Indeed, he had not seen the NBA game live, and he was looking forward to it, but he didn't want Winnie to compromise, so he said, "No, Winnie, let's go to the night market."

Winnie said: "Don't you like the NBA? Actually, I quite like it. I was still on our girls' basketball team in high school."

Having said that, can Qin Shiou still say no?

The NBA is the sanctuary in the hearts of all basketball fans, especially after Yao Ming was selected as the No. 1 overall pick for the Rockets in 2002, he has cultivated a large number of fans in China.

When Qin Shiou was in high school and college, Yao Ming was all the rage in the NBA. That was when the NBA was the most popular in China. He and his classmates especially liked stars like Iverson, Carter, Kobe, McGrady, and O'Neal.

At that time, when they were discussing the NBA together, what they were looking forward to most was to actually go to the field to watch a game, and now the opportunity has come.

The Raptors' home stadium is at the Toronto Aerospace Centre, on the outskirts of the city. It was already seven o'clock when the car arrived, and the game was about to start at 7:30.

Qin Shiou wanted to buy a ticket, Winnie smiled slyly, waved her phone and said, "Sir, you are out of date. Now is the Internet age. Online ticketing is cheap and convenient. Where is the need to queue up to buy tickets?"

NBA tickets are not cheap. Winnie bought a front seat ticket, which was in the second row and was already very close to the stadium. Qin Shiou estimated that a ticket would cost thousands of Canadian dollars.

At 7:30, the game started. The Warriors are now one of the hottest teams in the league. They have a handsome ace point guard Stephen Curry, while the Raptors are the team with the highest winning percentage and the overall strength is very strong.

The NBA is divided into two areas, the east and the west, and each area has fifteen teams. Among them, the Warriors are the team with the best record in the West, and the Raptors are the team with the best record in the East, so this game The competition is naturally hot.

The Aviation Center Gymnasium has 22,000 seats, and the attendance rate is very high, but there are still empty seats in the front four or five rows. It seems that for Toronto fans, spending thousands of dollars to watch a game is still a big burden. .

Canada's sports atmosphere is average, especially basketball, and the local residents prefer ice hockey and baseball.

Qin Shiou is a hardcore star. He and Winnie were chatting together, but as soon as the players entered the stadium, their attention was attracted.

The feeling of watching the game on the spot is very different from that on TV, especially when it is so close to the stadium, Qin Shiou feels as if he is also participating in the game.

The NBA is known as the most intense competition in the world. This can only be realized on the spot. The pace of the game is very fast. The Raptors' point guard Lowry and the Warriors' point guard Curry have solid basic skills and a genius who leads the ball. The team is fast-break and strong-defense, and the fight is very fierce.

As the score rose alternately, Winnie nervously clenched her pink fist and asked, "Qin, which team do you support?"

Qin Shiou likes Curry very much. When he was in China, he supported the Warriors, but now he has changed his nationality. Although he never regarded himself as a Canadian, for some reason, when supporting the team, he firmly chose the Raptors.

The Raptors are a Canadian team at home in Toronto, while the Warriors are a U.S. team at home in California.

"The Raptors, I prefer their unity and selflessness. Teamwork is the true meaning of basketball." Qin Shiou said with conscience.

"I like the Warriors." Winnie winked mischievously, she turned her head slightly to look at Qin Shiou with a smile on her pretty face.

"Why?" Qin Shiou looked at Winnie's smiling face, and his heart almost beat slowly. The game on the field was still so exciting, but he found that he couldn't get in.

In order to hide this, Qin Shiou hurriedly put the popcorn in his mouth, but the popcorn was a little too much sugar juice, sticking to the corner of his mouth, Winnie smiled and took out a wet towel to wipe it for him.

The cameraman in charge of the live broadcast constantly collects footage of the audience, especially when it is paused. There is a principle for capturing footage of sports events, that is, to let the beautiful audience show up more.

There is no doubt that Winnie is the beauty of the beauties, so she has repeatedly become the protagonist of the camera.

Coincidentally, the scene of Winnie helping Qin Shiou to wipe the corners of her mouth was also filmed.

Coincidentally, Qin Shiou has several buddies who like basketball, and none of them missed the live broadcast of this game...

After watching the game, Qin Shiou received a call from Zhong Dajun, the squad leader who is also an NBA enthusiast, as soon as he went out: "Beast, did you watch the Raptors and Warriors game today?"

Qin Shiou was a little stunned and said, "Have you practiced clairvoyance and ears?"

"A thousand miles away, I'm fucking watching the live broadcast. That's not the point. Let me ask you, who is that pretty girl with you? I'll even help you wipe the corners of your mouth. I'm so pretty!" Zhong Dajun said The saliva almost came out.

An NBA game can be played for three or four hours, and after watching the game it is past eleven o'clock in the evening. Qin Shiou and Winnie went to have dinner first, and the location they chose was the famous Greek Food City.

The Greek Food City is in the east of the Lower City District, and the core is on Donfoss Street. According to the bearded driver, the Donfoss Food Festival is held here every August. At that time, the stalls of Greek snacks will receive floats. red.

The smell of food wafts all over Downforth Street, even at midnight.

Qin Shiou and Winnie sat down in a restaurant and tasted the grilled meat, the representative food of Greek cuisine, and then enjoyed the Mediterranean-style cuisine with shrimp, octopus, crab and other seafood on the basis of traditional Greek cuisine.

Among these dishes, an octopus grilled with herbs is delicious, especially with a fruit salad.

The umami of octopus, the fragrance of herbs, the sweetness of fruit, and the fragrance of salad dressings are intertwined and can conquer people's taste buds.

After dinner, the two went to the famous Broadway Theatre Street in Toronto. Winnie went to school in Toronto, so she was more familiar with it and became a tour guide throughout the journey.

Theatre Street is on King's Road and is flanked by two of Canada's most famous theatres, the Royal Alexander Theatre and the Princess of Wales Theatre.

The two theaters are brightly lit at midnight, and the street lights are bright, making it the most beautiful view in Toronto at night.

In addition to many theaters, there are also many bars and nightclubs on King's Road, but neither of them are interested in going to bars, and they press the road side by side along the avenue.

After visiting the theater street, it was getting late. Although Qin Shiou still wanted to be with Winnie, but there was still half a month left, he made a sensible choice to send her back to the hotel.

"Where are you going tomorrow?" Winnie asked. "Do you like art? There are a lot of artists in Anax, or the Lakeside District? It's a great health resort near Lake Ontario."

Qin Shiou said: "Let's see tomorrow."

Winnie rolled her eyes at him and said, "Be planned, I only have half a month's vacation, I hope I can live a fuller life."

Qin Shiou sneered twice, he thought for a while, then summoned up his courage and said, "Vini, in fact, as long as I'm with you, I feel great when I go anywhere."

This is the first confession in Qin Daguan's life. Of course, the love letter written to Xia Zilin, the school beauties in college, does not count. After all, it is not a face-to-face verbal confession.

According to the assumption, after the confession, Qin Shiou intends to look at Wei Ni affectionately, regardless of whether he succeeds or not, the exchanges between foreign men and women are very bold and straightforward.
