Gu Bei is not a psychiatrist, and he will not use words to solve Cristiano's current complex emotional problems.

So she decided to take a different approach.

Gu Bei quit the rented apartment he had been keeping, and took the initiative to ask Cristiano to move back to his house.

"You should have quit that house a long time ago, it's easy to meet tabloid reporters if the location is not good." Cristiano propped his chin and poured the bowl of fruit salad boredly, "By the way, I heard that Jorge asked you to go back to Portugal?" He told me the day before yesterday that there is a young player over there who wants to try a PR contract first and then consider a full agency contract? How many days are you going? ”

Mendes must have greeted Cristiano first before telling Gu Bei - because Gu Bei actually only heard about it yesterday.

"The young man had a bright future, but his father was very cautious. Despite knowing our numerous success stories, his father was going to give us a short-term PR contract first. If it works well, he will sign a full agency contract with us. Mendez said to Gu Bei with a kind of stage-like excitement during the video call, "I want you to personally bring the negotiation team over - to prove our sincerity." ”

Mendes thought that what he said was justified and emotional, but in fact, Gu Bei still refused.

Mendez's face sank almost instantly.

This is the first case that Mendes arranged for her after Gu Bei's studio was established, and if Gu Bei refused like this, of course it would give people an arrogant impression.

"Cristiano hasn't been in a good mood lately, and maybe Ikar has told you, he feels lonely and even isolated in front of the media. I want to be with him. Gu Bei gave up all the modifiers and said his plan bluntly, "However, I can have a video conference with Cristiano while they are training or do a short flight - the kind of going to and returning the same day." ”

a golden fruit that is already ripe, and a small green fruit that is likely to ripen; A child who has been brought up by himself for many years, and a young man who has only been friends for a few faces.

Mendez doesn't fail to even do such a simple multiple-choice question – although he personally thinks Cristiano is only at his annual psychological slump.

So Mendes was silent for a while, but finally made a compromise, "Cristiano's matter is all number one for us. I'll let them connect with you if I need to. ”

"Thank you, but for this matter, I would like to ask you not to sue Cristiano."

Mendez doesn't quite understand the way young people think nowadays - shouldn't you let the other person know what you have done for the other person?

I don't want him to think that I'm here for him, I just want to be there for him, I don't want to burden him in any way - as Mr. Mourinho used to say, he's a man. I didn't want him to feel like he was being protected by me when he was already insecure.

That's not love and romance, that's the greatest burden of love.

But Gu Bei didn't say this at that time.

Mendes didn't press her to ask anything, just said you can handle it yourself, I won't tell Cristiano anything.

Gu Bei hoped that Mendes would not say anything, but she didn't expect that he didn't even say anything about her not going......

"I'm not going." Gu Bei replied, "Mr. Mendez later felt that there were more things on the Spanish side, and I was not good at contract negotiations, so I didn't go to the negotiation team to make trouble." ”

Cristiano looked at Gu Bei with some surprise - Mendez was afraid that he would not let Gu Bei leave and deliberately exaggerated the talent of that young man, Cristiano was too lazy to verify, but he thought that since Mendes valued it so much, Gu Bei would definitely go, "I thought Jorge had already thought about it?" ”

"Plans can't keep up with change, dear." Gu Bei made a casual look while studying the method of corn juice, "Mr. Mendez occasionally regrets it. And, again, I'm not good at negotiating commercial contracts. ”

Although Cristiano has never personally negotiated even half a commercial contract, when he thinks of the car of contract explanations he hears every time he goes to sign a contract, he can imagine how detailed, precise and specialized contract negotiation is.

He nodded, seeming to agree with the explanation, "Well, he didn't want to after I told Mr. Sù the other day, and now he should be happy to know that you're not going - after all, the second leg of the Super Bowl is going to start soon." ”

It seems that the word Super Cup has upset Cristiano, who throws away his fork and takes a few sips of water with a frown.

Gu Bei put his hand on his, but did not speak.

"I thought you were going to tell me something." Cristiano looked at the ring on Gu Bei's hand, and moved his fingers to overlap his own one with hers.

There was a slight light sound on the metal collision, Gu Bei sighed, and hooked Cristiano's ring-wearing finger with his backhand, and didn't let go for a long time.

"I've always been there for you, that's what I want to tell you." Gu Bei rubbed Cristiano's ring with his thumb, then gently faded the ring a little, leaving a kiss on the skin that had been covered by the ring for a long time, and then covered it again with the ring.

It's like a wizard who seals some kind of secret object with a charm.

Cristiano's gaze softened, and he raised his fingers to his cheek, but did not speak again.

But...... What doesn't seem to be the case with what he thought?

No matter what Cristiano's inner drama was at that time, Mourinho and Cassie expressed their satisfaction bluntly when they knew that Gu Bei did not have to go to Portugal.

"Ikar, let me thank you." Mourinho dragged Gu Bei to the training ground again after voluntarily isolating her from the team for more than half a year, on the grounds that - for the Super Cup - although everyone knows that the real reason is Cristiano, "He told me what Cristiano said in the dressing room that day, and to be honest, Ikar was dying of sorrow. ”

"Me too, sir." Gu Bei sat in the rest area on the side of the training ground and responded to Mourinho, who was standing in front of her and watching the players warm up, "I even feel scared. ”

Mourinho looked back at her thoughtfully.

Gu Bei frowned at him, "What's the matter, sir?" ”

"I'm wondering if this is the first time I've heard you say the word - scared - to be honest, I thought your Spanish teacher hadn't taught you how to pronounce it." Mourinho seemed to be in a good mood, and even joked about Gu Bei.

Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, only to know that she was ridiculed by Mourinho, she didn't care about it, she just smiled and shook her head, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with fear, there is an old saying in China, born in sorrow and died in peace." ”

"But you should know, that's not what I meant." Mourinho believed that his assistant coach could bring a good daily warm-up, so he simply turned sideways, half facing the training ground and half facing Gu Bei, "When Cristiano didn't know why he felt lonely, I thought you would be stronger than ever." ”

"As long as Messi has something, Cristiano can't help but be asked about him, and even when they're okay, as long as the reporter is worried about opening the skylight, he will ask them about the other party." Gu Bei stated a simple fact, "I used to like this kind of tension and this kind of endless grappling, but now, I am starting to be disgusted. ”

Mourinho frowned, but did not stop Gu Bei from continuing.

"We all thought it was good, it would promote Cristiano, so we would all talk about him and we would all say that this competition is beneficial – even when reassuring Cristiano." Gu Bei lowered his head, "But we never thought about what kind of pressure the word mortal enemy represents, and what kind of entanglement it represents day and night. We get irritable even if we have a nightmare once in a while, but his nightmare goes on and on, day and night. Not only can we not experience it, but we also find it wonderful. ”

"An ......" Mourinho seemed to want to interrupt Gu Bei's self-talk, but Gu Bei didn't seem to hear his words at all.

"I thought I saw a qiē, and I thought it was okay for them to say hello to each other when they finally got to meet. But I now know that maybe it was just a last resort. ”

Mourinho frowned, although he didn't know what Gu Bei meant by this, he still turned around and pointed at the assistant coach and pointed at Cristiano, and then at his side - but he didn't try to get Gu Bei's attention the whole time.

"You said you didn't hear me say I was scared, but now I'm not only scared but I regret it."

"What do you regret?" Someone asked her in a tone that seemed strange.

Gu Bei was immersed in his own thinking, but he didn't pay attention to what anyone in the outside world said or did at all.

"I don't think I should have pursued Mr. Messi in the first place."

Mourinho rolled his eyes and tried to speak but was prevented.

"Why?"

"I may have brought Mr. Messi and Cristiano closer together, sir, did you say I did something wrong? Shouldn't I sign Mr. Messi? Maybe if I don't sign him, Cristiano will get more space. The more Gu Bei spoke, the more frustrated she became—it seemed that her monologue in front of Mourinho had triggered all her negative feelings.

If it weren't for the unsightliness, Mourinho would probably have taken off his shoes and hit Gu Bei with the soles of his shoes.

But someone preemptively fought for him.

Syllable.

Gu Bei received a slap on the back of the head.

As soon as she looked up, she realized that her whole person had been shrouded in the shadow of Cristiano, and Cristiano looked at her with his waist crossed and gritted his teeth and cursed, "Stupid! ”
