Chapter 104: Fellow Meets Fellow
Kaede Rukawa, who was loaned to CSKA Moscow by Jaguar, is playing in the Champions League with the team, and the game has reached the quarter-finals.
CSKA's opponent is Maccabi from Israel, in the home-and-away knockout format, CSKA has beaten Maccabi by 6 points away, and after returning to home, as long as they do not lose more than 6 points, CSKA will smoothly advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
And in this game, Rukawa Kaede finally ushered in his European debut, and it is also an opportunity to show himself to the whole of Europe and even the world!!
Although it was Rukawa Kaede as a substitute and only played in the second quarter, Rukawa Kaede became the team's wonder soldier, and he felt very hot after he came on the court, and he was very resolute on the offensive end, hitting two three-pointers in a row, and there was a shocking split dunk!
It was not only the score that caught up, but also the momentum, and the teammates were also driven by the high emotions of Rukawa Kaede, and they started wave after wave of offensives, always suppressing Maccabi.
In the end, CSKA defeated Maccabi again at home and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The taste of the bench made Rukawa Kaede accumulate too much strength, and finally broke out completely in this game!!
The scenery on the field of Rukawa Kaede, the peach blossoms are also blooming off the field, and the relationship with the international student Katori Muxi who I met before has developed very quickly, and the two have already left each other's phone calls, and, listening to the tone of the two on the phone, they are very familiar.
"Rukawa Kaede!!Congratulations!! your performance today is fantastic!!"
"Oh, it's nothing, let's play normally!!"
"How's it going!!!Tomorrow we'll come out to celebrate!??"
"Celebrate??Forget it, it doesn't have to be anything. ”
"Well,,, that's it, I'll call you again tomorrow! Okay, you can rest too!!'s late!!"
"Okay......"
"Good night then!!Rukawa!!"
"Good night!!"
Speaking of how Rukawa Kaede developed a deeper relationship with Mu Xi, it starts with the day of the holiday.
"Knock Knock Knock !!"
"Anyone??"
At 7 o'clock in the morning Moscow time, Rukawa Kaede came to the outside of the training hall with his back on his back, since he came to the team, Rukawa Kaede has almost spent all his time in the training hall, and the training day and night has almost become the main theme of Rukawa Kaede's life, even if the team has so many holidays.
No, Rukawa Kaede knocked on the door and got ready to train!
"Knock Knock Knock !!"
Seeing that no one answered inside, Rukawa Kaede knocked on the door again, the force was very strong, even if there were really people sleeping inside, maybe they would be woken up!
"How can there be no one?!"
After a while, there was still no one to answer, Rukawa Kaede asked, and looked inside the window again, and after making sure that there was no one, Rukawa Kaede took out the phone and called the translator, asking about the key to the door of the training hall.
After inquiring again, the translator learned that the training hall was for the maintenance and replacement of the floor today, so it could not be used for the time being, so Rukawa Kaede's training plan was also shelved.
For Rukawa Kaede,I really don't know how to spend the days of not being able to train.,After returning to the bedroom,Rukawa Kaede planted himself on the bed.,Ready to sleep.,At this time,The only thing Rukawa Kaede can remember is to sleep this one thing to do!!
"Tick tick, tick tick~~"
Rukawa Kaede hasn't been lying down yet, and the phone rings, it's a text message!
"Why are you in arrears again, cut, I really can't afford to call international calls......"
Looking at the text message of the arrears notice, Rukawa Kaede sighed.
"I've been in Moscow for so long, and I don't even have a local phone card, it's so undeserved! ”
Rukawa Kaede thought to himself and called his translator again.
But after the call, the translator's reply was: NO!, because there is a meeting to be held, so, Rukawa Kaede can only buy a phone card alone, but for people who are not familiar with life, the most important thing is Rukawa Kaede, who does not understand the language, this seems to be more difficult than ascending to the sky!!
After pondering for a long time, Rukawa Kaede remembered the Japanese female student who came to the training hall to find him before, maybe she could help herself.
So Rukawa Kaede looked for the business card that Mu Xi left for him at that time in the house, but after turning it over and over for a long time, Rukawa Kaede never found it, thinking back to the clothes he was wearing at the time, Rukawa Kaede also looked for it, but it just didn't!!
"Damn, where did you put it!!"
Rukawa Kaede is very disgusted with looking for things, but he almost turned the house upside down, and still didn't.
Rukawa Kaede sat down in a chair, closed his eyes, and carefully recalled the scene of that night, hoping to find a clue from it!!
"I went back to the dormitory, took off my clothes, felt a little sweaty, and took the bathroom to ,,,, right !!"
Rukawa Kaede really found the clue in the memory, got up and ran to the bathroom.
"I was going to do the laundry, so I took out all the things in the clothes, and I just put him here!!"
Rukawa Kaede reasoned like a detective, and finally pointed his finger to the switch board of the toilet seat!!
Sure enough, there was a postcard on the toilet seat!!
"Hey, hello, this is Katori Muyu, may I ask who you are??"
Rukawa Kaede quickly dialed the phone.
"Hmm,,,, ask, hmm,,, where do you sell calling cards??"
After Rukawa Kaede picked up the phone, he was still a little stammering, and he didn't introduce himself.
"Oh, sorry, you made a mistake, I'm not selling cards!!"
Mu Xi listened and was about to hang up the phone.
"Hey, hey!! it's me,,,,"
Rukawa Kaede immediately became anxious when he saw this, but maybe it was still for the sake of face, Rukawa Kaede didn't say his name!
"Huh??Who the hell are you???How weird??"
"The basketball team, um,,, is ,,,um,,,,"
Rukawa Kaede was still secretive and didn't say his name.
"I'm hanging!!"
"I'm Rukawa Kaede~~"
Seeing that Mu Xi was about to hang up the phone, Rukawa Kaede finally quickly said his name!
"Haha!!Sure enough, it's you, haha!!"
"You hear that??"
"Haha, of course, I heard it as soon as you spoke, I just wanted to hear you say your name!!"
"Is this important,,, this?"
"Haha, just kidding!!"
The two then made an appointment on the phone to make an appointment with the time and place, and the two strangers in a different place are about to stage a fellow to meet a fellow countryman!!
The afternoon sun in Moscow shone softly on the earth, Rukawa Kaede and Mu Xi came to the meeting place on time, what the two didn't expect was that the two of them invariably wore white half-sleeved T-shirts, and they were all cartoon and cute styles, from a distance, it really looked like a couple's outfit!
"What a coincidence, haha!"
After the two met, they did look a little embarrassed because of their clothes, but Mu Xi said with a red face.
"Yes, I brought this dress from Japan!"
Rukawa Kaede also said a little shyly, after all, he was alone with a girl who only had a one-sided relationship!
"Didn't the team train today??"
"Oh yes, take a day off, I was going to train on my own, but there was something wrong with the training gym, forget it. ”
The two chatted on the way to apply for a phone card. Fortunately, Mu Xi is the kind of girl who is more hearty, otherwise, with the character of Rukawa Kaede, how embarrassing it will be along the way!!
The two quickly completed the calling card and walked out the door.
"That ......"
The two were still talking and laughing just now, but when it came time to separate, they were still a little embarrassed.
"Well,,,, I'm hungry,,,,"
Rukawa Kaede was embarrassed to lower his head and said reluctantly.
"Huh??"
Mu Xi was also a little confused.
"Or I'm going to eat, where are you going??"
"Oh, well, I'm going back to school too, there's still a lot going on at school!!"
Mu Xi answered calmly on the surface, but her subtext was: "Hey!!, I said that you don't have any emotional intelligence, won't you say invite me to eat!!"
"If you don't mind, let's go together!"
