Chapter 30: A Quiet Big City

"Ke Yan, you're finally here."

Ke Yan walked around a street corner and finally found Joseph, who was standing next to a car, waiting for Ke Yan.

"I got a little lost and walked around the airport for a while." Ke Yan said.

"Put your luggage, get in the car, and go back to my house for dinner first." Joseph said.

Joseph had already prepared dinner at home, just waiting for Ke Yan to come over, and the whole family was here today, just in time to have a more lively meal together.

I don't know why, since Joseph began to learn Chinese and learn Chinese culture, he has become more and more fond of excitement, perhaps this is the appeal of Chinese culture.

Leaning on the window of the car, Ke Yan looked at the street scene of Porto that flashed in front of him with wide eyes and curiosity, and sighed very much.

If it weren't for the different styles of the buildings, Ke Yan really suspected that he was still in Lincheng.

I had heard that Porto was a big city in Portugal, and Ke Yan imagined that Porto must be full of modern atmosphere, with high-rise buildings, all kinds of advanced cars running around the road, people in a hurry, and no leisure atmosphere at all.

But what you see in front of you is not a high-rise building, but a low-rise building full of southern European atmosphere, and the outside of the building looks a little dilapidated, and there is a feeling of old age.

Buildings like this fill the streets of Porto, dividing Porto into blocks, and between each building, there are relatively narrow alleys, and there are no wide roads, and the alleys are lined with old-fashioned cars.

However, such an urban layout looks very congested, but in fact, there is no congestion, and even now Joseph is looking at the car in such an alley, and there is no traffic jam at all.

"Isn't it disappointing?" Joseph asked, "Not the same as you imagined Porto?" ”

Ke Yan nodded: "A little, after all, Porto in my imagination is a big city, full of advanced things." ”

"Hehe, Porto is indeed a big city, and it is also a relatively developed city in Portugal, but there is no way to do it, the city has not developed, and she has maintained the current status quo to meet people's living needs." "I really like the feeling that if it really became a very modern and bustling metropolis, I probably wouldn't be here any longer." ”

"But it's good, it's quiet." "I love this kind of city, I used to see it on TV, but now I didn't expect to be in this kind of atmosphere." ”

As soon as he arrived in Porto, the uneasiness in Ke Yan's heart seemed to be precipitated, and all that was left was the quiet mood that was infected by this environment.

When you go to a strange place, even a person like Ke Yan who has been working hard in society for several years will be full of uneasiness in his heart, after all, in this city, he has no relatives, and he has no economic foundation and source, and everything has to rely on himself to struggle from scratch.

Moreover, his future is all concerned about this trial, if he fails the trial, then Ke Yan really doesn't know what to do.

With this series of confusion and anxiety about the future, Ke Yan got on a plane to Porto and came to this city.

Fortunately, the tranquility and comfort of this city calmed down Ke Yan's mood a little.

"Rest assured, I know you're upset, but I can guarantee you to play in Porto." Joseph said, "Mr. Costa, oh the president of the club, has agreed to come and see you for a tryout, and the team's head coach, Krul, is ready for the first training session next week. ”

Ke Yan nodded silently and did not speak.

"I'm here, Eun, yes, okay, okay, I know." After dinner, Ke Yan used Joseph's computer to report Li Jiechi's safety, and Li Jiechi said that no matter how late it was, he would report the news to him.

Because the time in Porto is seven hours slower than Beijing time, it is already early in the morning in Lincheng, Li Jiechi can wait until now and not sleep, Ke Yan is still very moved, after all, Li Jiechi has been taking care of himself since a long time ago.

As for Feng Yulin, she must have slept now, so Ke Yan just sent her a message on the practice software, and didn't get a reply from her, Ke Yan was even more sure that Feng Yulin had slept.

To be honest, Ke Yan is also a little tired, and his biological clock is still stuck in the state of China, so he is very sleepy now, but Joseph said that he should adjust to the jet lag as soon as possible, and insisted that Ke Yan wait until Porto at night before going to sleep.

What Ke Yan must do now is to adjust the jet lag, and then recover his condition and ball sense as much as possible, and strive to maintain his perfect competitive condition to participate in the trial, and strive to pass the assessment at one time.

Although it was a little painful, Ke Yan still had to do it, because Joseph was also doing it for his own good.

"If you're sleepy, drink some tea first." Joseph took a short cup of tea and placed it in front of Ke Yan.

"Thank you." Ke Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Just now at dinner, Joseph insisted that Ke Yan drink wine, saying that this is the habit of dining in Porto, drink pre-dinner wine before the meal, drink the meal wine during the meal, and drink the after-dinner wine after the meal, and these three kinds of wine are also particular, it must be three different wines, and Ke Yan has never drunk wine before, today is his first time drinking, he has long been a little dizzy, and now a cup of tea is simply a lifesaver.

Fortunately, Joseph is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and usually likes to drink tea, not much coffee.

Joseph's house, which is relatively large, has two floors, a courtyard, not far from the Douro River and the Atlantic Ocean, and you can enjoy the scenery of the Douro River and the Atlantic Ocean while sitting in the courtyard.

Ke Yan now has no place to live, so he can only live in Joseph's house temporarily, and all the expenses have to be borne by Joseph, because once he came to Portugal, he had almost used up all his money, and he didn't even have money to buy a plane ticket back home.

So when he thought of this matter, Ke Yan was sad, if he didn't pass the trial, then how he should return to China was a problem.

Money is only a problem on the one hand, and the problem on the other hand is that I came to Porto with so many people's expectations, and went back like nothing like this, how embarrassing would it be?

"Mr. Joseph, do you have a soccer ball in your house?" Ke Yan suddenly stood up and asked, "I want to go to the courtyard to play football for a while." ”

"Okay, I'll be with you." Joseph looked at Ke Yan and stood up with him with a smile.

Maybe only when he is with football, Ke Yan can forget all his troubles.
