Gan Guoyang had a joyful two days in Spokane with Wang Fuxi, even cutting down his own training time so he could spend time with her.
Wang Fuxi experienced firsthand what celebrity effect meant in Spokane. Gan Guoyang himself was a local attraction, and wherever he went, people sought a photo with him. Almost every business offered him discounts or free goods.
The influence of being the undefeated NCAA champion was evident, especially since Spokane, despite being the second-largest city in Washington State, was rather obscure nationally and hasn't produced any big names.
Walking hand in hand by the clear Spokane River, the image was warm and serene. However, the two of them were arguing about what exactly Gan Guoyang liked about Wang Fuxi.
Until Wang Fuxi boarded her plane to leave, Gan Guoyang stood by his words, "I just like that you're beautiful."
He claimed, "A good personality and all that are lies, only a good appearance is the absolute truth."
