Milan, Italy, a city that Yiyang has been to before, but it is far from familiar.

This time, when Yiyang walked out of the airport again, one of the most obvious changes in Milan was that there were countless reporters squatting outside the airport, just to take photos of Yiyang after arriving in Milan.

Seeing so many reporters, Yiyang was a little unexpected. Based on his experience from his last visit to Milan, basketball players should not be very popular here. He still remembers that the last time he and Vignari went to the hotel to book a room, the girl at the front desk even thought that Yiyang was a Japanese tourist.

"Also, did you come to Italy to accompany Vignary?"

"What do you think of the Mavericks' recent five-game winning streak!"

"What do you think about the Mavericks not participating in the Christmas War?"

The reporters spoke English with an Italian accent and put the topic in front of Yiyang. Yiyang looked at this group of Italian reporters blankly, when did basketball become so popular in Italy?

In fact, it's not that basketball has become popular in Italy, but that Yiyang's popularity has changed from what it used to be.

The first time he came to Italy, Yiyang was only the best rookie. But now, he's a decent MVP! The NBA's MVP players, no matter where they go on this planet, are very popular. Even in Milan, a football paradise, Yiyang has a very high reputation.

In four years, Yiyang's progress has also advanced by leaps and bounds.

With the assistance of airport security, Yiyang was able to take his mother and squeeze out of the airport. As soon as you go out, you will be greeted by the beautiful scenery of Milan's icy and snowy landscape.

Of course, Yiyang was not attracted by the beautiful scenery. At first glance, he saw the Italian girl running towards him with a smile.

"You're finally here!" Vignari jumped excitedly and threw herself directly into Yiyang's arms. The flashes on the reporters' cameras flickered wildly, but Yiyang and Vignari didn't care. The two hugged each other tightly as if no one else was around, enjoying the warm moment that belonged only to them.

After getting out of Yiyang's arms, Vignari greeted Wen Xue embarrassedly. And what about Yiyang? This guy is more nervous than Vignari right now. Because it is not the first time that Vignali and Wen Xue have met, but Yiyang and Vignary's parents have met for the first time.

"You're finally here, Vignari is talking about you every day." A tall middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, a mustache and gold-rimmed glasses greeted Yiyang with a kind smile. He was Vignary's father, an entrepreneur who specialized in the leather bag business.

Although the other party was smiling, this tall and mature man was still extremely majestic. Yiyang shook his hand politely and did not smile.

"Dad, why are you telling him this!" Vignarie Bird took her father's arm in the same way, her face slightly reddening. It can be seen that the father and daughter look very similar, and Vignari has also inherited her father's height well.

"Welcome to Milan, where the winters should be colder than in Dallas." Yiyang had just shaken hands with Vignali's father when a woman in a fur coat greeted her.

The woman was smiling, and her noble demeanor filled her with temperament, and her performance was very much in line with the identity of a wealthy middle class. However, it still makes Yiyang feel a little less cordial than a man. Yiyang has lived on the streets since he was a child, and even after entering the NBA and becoming a public figure, he rarely appears in formal settings. So all of a sudden, I entered some formal meetings, which made Yiyang not very accustomed to it.

I don't know why, Yiyang would be very casual when chatting with other people, but once he talked to Vignarie's parents, his waist would involuntarily straighten up and his speech speed would slow down. No one asked him to do this, and in fact, Vignarie's parents were not as serious as Yiyang imagined, and he did it completely subconsciously. Perhaps, every man wants to make a good impression in front of the woman's parents, even an unruly guy like Yiyang can't escape this inertia.

In Vignarie's father's car, the two sides casually talked about something related to the NBA. It can be seen that Vignarie's parents actually know quite well about the NBA. It's normal, although Italy is the world of football, their daughter is a professional basketball player. And when it comes to basketball, the NBA is definitely a topic that can't be avoided. In addition to watching his daughter's games, Wignarie's father is also an out-and-out NBA fan. In the past, when I watched the NBA, this man didn't have a home team, just to watch the excitement. But now, he's a mischievous Mavericks fan. In his home, there are still several Yiyang and Nowitzki jerseys.

Just like when Yiyang met Vignali for the first time, when talking about basketball, Yiyang felt that the distance between himself and Vignarie's parents had also narrowed a lot. What's more, Yiyang is still the idol of Vignarie's father, which undoubtedly makes him invisibly add a lot of points in front of the two couples.

"Yesterday's game against the Rockets was really good, and Dwight couldn't beat you with 29 points. Hahaha, by the way, if you have time, let's come to Italy next summer to play an exhibition match. Actually, you have a lot of fans in Italy! The middle-aged man who was driving didn't look like he was talking to his boyfriend who his daughter brought home at all, he was more like a friend when he talked to Yiyang, the kind of rare friend with a common hobby.

It's not easy to find someone in Italy who also loves basketball. Today, when he met Yiyang, a professional, Vignarie's father was as excited as if he had met a confidant.

It's noon in Italy, and Yiyang and his mother Wen Xue are very tired after a 12-hour flight. Originally, Vignarie's father wanted to take the two to dinner first, but after being reminded by a more attentive mother, the middle-aged man drove Yiyang and Wen Xue to the hotel first.

"Well, then, you guys should rest in the hotel first. I'm coming to pick you up in the evening and I've booked a spot at a nice restaurant. It's Christmas Eve, so we have to sit down and have a reunion dinner. You and Vignari both have special jobs, so you are often away from home for both Christmases. Well, this year, we can have a neat holiday. ”

Vignarie's father is still easy-going, and he has begun to refer to everyone with the word "we". Although it has only been an hour of contact, the middle-aged man has already regarded Yiyang and Wen Xue as his own family.

In the face of the host's hospitality, Yiyang and Wen Xue have nothing to excuse. Yiyang knows that people like Vignarie's parents should be very busy at work. But even when they are busy at work, they are willing to spare a day to entertain themselves and their mother, which is already very thoughtful.

"Then Vig, you can accompany Yi to the room to rest first, and I will contact you in the evening."

Hearing what Vignarie's father said, Yiyang found out that Vignari was going to stay in the hotel with him! The easy-to-go father asked Vignali to take care of all of Yiyang's daily life in Milan and hang out with him. They arranged the time and itinerary by themselves, and neither of them asked. From this point of view, they are very relieved of Yiyang. And directly let my daughter and boyfriend stay in the hotel...... I have to say that the Italians are indeed very unrestrained in their thinking.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'll take good care of him. Really, I don't know who your child is. Vignari pursed her lips, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic couple, Yiyang, Wen Xue and Vignari also returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Closing the door and avoiding everyone's eyes, Yiyang and Vignari broke free from all restraints.

Vignari pounced on Yiyang excitedly, this time, hugging her tighter than when she had just been at the airport.

"Did you miss me? Also. "This season, because Yiyang is working hard for the championship and is usually busy training, the time that the two can contact each other every day is actually very short. In the past, he could still make video calls every day, but this season, Yiyang is so busy that sometimes he doesn't even have time to start a video with Vignarie. Moreover, there is a 6-hour time difference between the two places, which is also very inconvenient. Sometimes Vignarie finished a match, and it was noon on the American side, and Yiyang didn't have time to train. When Yiyang finished the game, it was early in the morning in Italy, and he didn't want to disturb Vignarie's rest.

So this season, the number of times the two see each other even on mobile phones is very limited. It's no wonder that Vignari was so excited at the first sight of Yiyang.

Instead of answering Vignary, Yiyang picked up the emaciated Italian girl and pressed her against the wall. His hands caressed the girl's graceful posture and leaned her head up.

Although she didn't speak, Vignarie's face flushed slightly. It seems that this boy really misses himself...... It's good, at least for now, that they belong only to each other.

The originally clean and tidy hotel room naturally suffered from a period of "ravage" from Yiyang and Vignarie. After all, the good times that belong to them are indeed too rare.

Snow is falling outside the windows of the hotel, and huge Christmas trees decorate the city, making the Christmas spirit even stronger. This year's Christmas Eve is destined to be quite warm.
