Chapter XI

The sun is shining on the Iberian Peninsula, the sea is rolling white waves, and the city is waking up from its deep sleep.

Today was a special day for Carlos, who had finished a six-month-long trial and got his first contract as a player – maybe he would have many of them in the future, but this one was different. It feels like first love.

Even though he earns only 15 euros a week, he is satisfied, at least, he can save a little money to buy some gifts for Bella, such as the pearl bracelet that he has been looking at in the mall for a long time.

That is the Oriental beauty of the silver chain, with the rise of China, Oriental culture began to attract the attention of designers in the fashion industry, this is a chain that obviously followed the trend to copy a designer's masterpiece, the whole silver chain is very simple, embellished with a white pearl, not big, but very round, the lights of the display stand illuminate it with the effect of water droplets, the silver chain is shining like a diamond, but because it is not an original work, it does not have much added value, priced at 320 euros.

Carlos was a good student of mathematics, but he did the math several times, and he came up with 21 and a third of a week -- 149.33 days, or about 150 days, and that was all if he didn't spend a penny.

Carlos is not discouraged, he will work hard to get his weekly salary raised, and he hopes to buy it before the mild winter passes and Bella's birthday arrives.

Because he felt that Bella was like a pearl, white and hazy, beautiful and simple.

He wanted to match her with what he felt was best.

Looking at the bracelet in front of the window, he prayed that it wouldn't be bought until he had saved enough money, and shook his body again, and saw his hair, well, he had washed it well last night.

After the signing was completed this morning, the coach gave him a half-day off and he took the bus to get off at the bus stop near Vela's house, Carlos has only been here once, but he remembers the road deeply.

Carlos found an empty street seat to rest, he didn't have anything to do with it now, he just wanted to stay here and see where Bella lived.

In fact, he would love to share the joyful news with Bella, but he didn't know where to find her.

Carlos's heart began to plug silently, and he wanted to pick up his hair to vent his feelings, but it was difficult to start, so he could only give up.

Just like that, while being happy and his heart was stuffed, there came an old man reading the newspaper next to him, snuggling together, and it was very comfortable under the shade of the tree. Carlos is more stuffed, and it's not good to leave deliberately.

Finally he thought of a good way to divert his attention and slept with his eyes half-squinted.

This is still the "specialty" he found in the third grade, his eyelashes are long, and they are particularly thick, half-squinting and lowering his head have the illusion of staring downward, he has relied on this to complete many times The teacher's punishment for his stilt class practice, the penalty station is sleeping against the wall for him~~~

Su Qingjia came out to buy flowers, and the hot summer rose to the peak little by little, which means that the summer vacation is coming. At the beginning of the next semester, Su Qingjia will carry a schoolbag and other eight-year-old children to receive a Spanish primary school education - Su Qingjia's heart is broken when she hears the news.

She thought about the group of imps who still like to pull girls' braids, and the girls who like to discuss Barbie dolls, and suddenly felt that the whole person was not good.

If she could, she would love to unilaterally announce that she could go straight to college, or at least go to high school.

But no one will pay attention to her inner os, no matter what, on the day of school, she still has to obediently carry Minnie's schoolbag, hang a kettle, and then start from a hundred or less addition and subtraction.

Therefore, in order to ensure the supply of skin care products for her and Mingling, she must save more basic ingredients in this summer.

That's right, Ming Ling found out about her daughter's skin care and asked for a box that found that the effect was really good, so she cheekily joined Su Qingjia's "Beauty Cultivation Plan", as for the source of the recipe, Ming Ling thought it was given by a deceased aunt of the Su family, no way, her heart is so big, otherwise she wouldn't have been a child mother for so many years.

With her mother's support, although Su Qingjia said that the amount of preparation was large, it was still a lot easier, and the mother and daughter worked hard to make the rest of the recipes.

Women love beauty, o()o Alas, Su Qingjia had no choice but to spread her hands.

After getting out of the car, Su Qingjia shook his hand, well, holding a big bag of flowers wrapped in kraft paper, it was really heavy, Carlos must have loved face last time, women love beauty, men love face, regardless of age.

Su Qingjia felt that he had summed it up very well.

In the middle of such an inner complaint, Su Qingjia glanced around at random, and was suddenly flashed by a cloud of exploding golden objects, and when he looked at it, he found that it was Carlos.

But at this time, shouldn't he be trying out in the academy?

Su Qingjia was a little worried in her heart, but she smiled again in the next second and walked over.

"Carlos, why are you here?" Su Qingjia asked.

Carlos was quickly startled by this cry, he woke up from his sleep, he was on high alert at all times, he would be nervous when people approached him, and when he talked to him, he would not answer, like a wounded wolf cub. The familiar voice and scent told him that this was the person he wanted to see most todayβ€”Bella.

With his head up, the angle was a bit backlit, and he was a little uncomfortable with the sun shining, but Carlos still managed to keep his eyes open and stared at the girl walking towards him.

She wore a new dress, she was rarely seen wearing a sundress, the dark blue straps around the neck, showing her elegant neck curves, the upper body was also dark blue, the pure monochrome satin had a kind of flowing beauty in the sun, the lower part was tightened at the waist, and then spread out into a skirt, and the huge white petals aesthetically adorned the dark skirt.

It was a lotus, Carlos knew that at this time he couldn't appreciate the design of this skirt, he just thought that Bella, who was holding the flower, was really beautiful, and her shoulders were as white as lotus petals, so much to think about...... Touch it.

He was stunned for a while, and when Su Qingjia walked up to Carlos, Carlos had already stood up, suppressed the strange feelings that appeared in his heart, and said, "I'm on vacation today, so I'll just hang around casually, and I'll come here." ”

Su Qingjia looked at the boy who hadn't seen him for half a month, he had grown a lot taller, it seemed that La Masia's food was good, and now she should only reach Carlos's nose. She glanced at the beautiful boy's right ear, which was shaking vigorously, and poked the petals in her arms funny, "Shake it casually?" Do you have anything important to tell me? ”

Carlos's face was a little burning, his eyes were fluttering, but Su Qingjia felt very cute, like a Labrador who had done something wrong, her eyelashes fluttered badly, and Aunt Blame was super happy, she said: "Carlos, my hands are sore, aren't you going to help me hold the flowers?" ”

The shy young man's ears trembled even more, like a fan with a motor, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and hugged the flower from Su Qingjia's arms, Carlos really couldn't stand Su Qingjia's eyes, he lowered his head and showed her the soft golden hair.

"I wanted to tell you that I got a trial for La Masia and I got my contract." Carlos's muffled voice came from among the flowers, with unconcealed joy, "Bella, are you happy?" ”

Su Qingjia nodded and said, "Happy, of course I'm happy, I'm your scout." From the moment she saw him, she knew that Carlos must have tried out, otherwise, this little golden retriever would not be so happy, she would see how long he could hold back, but the situation was obvious, the little golden retriever was too excited, and couldn't stand asking, so he recruited.

"I'm going to train hard and I'm going to succeed." Carlos looked up, his cheeks still crimson, "I...... When I become famous, I will sue the media that you are my scout. His blue-gray eyes radiated a resolute look, like two jewels.

"Then I'll wait for this day. When I think about it, the title might come out like this, well, the woman standing behind the superstar Carlos? Or, a generation of Bole Bella? Su Qingjia smacked her lips with satisfaction, "Pretty boy, which one do you like?" I think it's pretty good. ”

Carlos was very happy to hear this, but he didn't know how to say it, he thought for a long time before he held back his words: "I won't let you wait long." Feeling that the tone was not strong enough, he added, "Don't worry." ”

"......" Su Qingjia was amused by his solemnity, picked from the kraft paper in front of Carlos, and drew a flower, "Hahaha, Carlos, don't be nervous, I'm just joking, don't be too stressed......"

"I'm not nervous, I'm telling the truth, I'm not going to keep you waiting." Carlos was a little anxious when he heard Su Qingjia's words.

Su Qingjia couldn't laugh or cry a little, she put the flower in her hand in front of Carlos, "Oh, this flower for you, it should be my gift to celebrate your entry into La Masia." ”

This is a plum blossom, red, a little faint and not strong fragrance. The branches were still fresh, with new shoots to emerge, three or four of them in full bloom, like dancing beauties in red, with five petals full and juicy, and some budding ones, as if they were afraid of the Mediterranean sun, and some were still covered in green fluff.

"This is the plum blossom, the embodiment of our national spirit, called the plum blossom soul, in our place, the plum blossom symbolizes the spirit of perseverance, perseverance and fearlessness of hardships and dangers." Su Qingjia explained to him, took the bouquet back from his arms, and stuffed the plum blossoms into his hands.

Although Su Qingjia's explanation was like the central idea written in a primary school textbook, it still aroused Carlos's yearning and joy, and he carefully held the part of the branch stalk, for fear of damaging the delicate flowers, "I'll go back and get something to put it up." Thank you, Bella, I loved your gift. ”

Su Qingjia invited him to eat at home, but the boy who was strong in his bones refused, and he said goodbye to Su Qingjia and waved with his other hand that did not hold flowers.

I have to admit that Carlos smiled a little stiffly, but, in the big summer, the blonde boy and the red flowers are really a good match~~~

Su Qingjia was silently cute.

The couple sitting next door also gave a silent thumbs up.

"Pretty boy, goodbye!" Su Qingjia also waved at him.
