In mid-February 1998, Lille was the capital of the Nord-de-Calais region and the capital of the Noor department. The sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean blows along the Strait of La Manche through the Strait of Calais to the European continent, bringing with it the damp, cold and humid winter of the Atlantic Ocean and the continuous rain. Bordering Belgium and across the sea from England, the famous World War II evacuation of Dunkirk took place in Dunkirk, just 60 kilometres from the city of Lille.

Lille is the fifth largest city in France, and the Lille metropolitan area ranks fourth in France in terms of population, after Paris, Lyon and Marseille. Lille has a long history, having been a metropolis on the European continent in the Middle Ages, and by the time of the First Industrial Revolution, it was one of the largest industrial cities in France.

Fifteen-year-old Franck Ribery took a bus to the Saf-Bar in the city centre after an afternoon of training at the Lille Football Club's Youth Academy on the outskirts of Lille, and although he was only 15 years old and was banned from child labor, the hideous scars on Ribery's face made him look like a strong sense of vicissitudes, and the owner of the bar, Saf, was a fan of the Lille team, and he was happy to provide a temporary job for the young and poor Frank Ribery.

When Ribery came to the bar, the owner of the bar had already arrived early, and for Ribery, this hard-won job was the guarantee of his future life, so he cherished this job quite much, but he had a strong self-esteem in his young heart because of his appearance, and he could not apologize.

The owner of the bar, Saff, was still quite gentle with this cold-looking boy, this little guy had a big scar on his face, and he came out alone at such a young age, it can be seen that his experience should have been very rough when he was a child, Saff remembered his experience in Germany when he was young, and he risked being investigated to give this kid a job as a bartender, although his somewhat hideous appearance was likely to scare his customers.

Life is always like this, in the eyes of people with a big heart, everyone around them can be friends, but in the eyes of people who have been discriminated against and treated unfairly since childhood, most of them feel that everyone is full of malice towards them.

Ribery handed a variety of drinks to the regular customers who came to the bar, while thinking about his future, the experience of being a child made Ribery independent very early, he likes football very much, and he also feels that he can walk out of a future on the road of football, but now in the youth academy of Lille Club, he Frank Ribery is the "garbage" in the coach's mouth, which makes Ribery very angry, he thinks that the coach is a stupid X.

Time passed quickly, and after a while, the Kung Fu bar was full of people, and at this time, the door of the bar was opened, and a tall figure and a beautiful figure walked in together.

Ribery's thoughts were interrupted by a somewhat gentle voice, he looked up and saw a couple walking to the bar, the man was handsome, but unusually tall, Ribery had never seen such a tall person in his limited life force, and the woman's appearance could be described as an angel, the blue eyes glowed sweetly under the spotlight of the bar, and the snow-white skin made Ribery dizzy.

"Hello, two glasses of whole wheat white beer, thank you." It was the woman who spoke, speaking pure American English, and Ribery had studied English at school and could get a general idea of what the other person meant.

"My dear, if you don't want to stay here, you can go back, I know you are going to have your Spring Festival, and I can be here by myself." The woman who spoke was full of love for the tall man, and Ribery could hear it in the woman's words. The rest of the bar was full, so the two sat at the front of the bar.

"I don't want to go back alone, Safina, and besides, it's good here, I like the atmosphere here, and as long as you are there, you can spend the Spring Festival anywhere." It seems that the lovers are very in love with each other, Ribery thought in his heart, but he felt that this man was a little too tall and definitely couldn't play football, maybe the other party was a "soft egg" who played basketball, Ribery always felt that basketball was a little soft, and only football was a man's sport.

The man and woman are Liu Han and Safina, and Liu Han accompanied Safina to France to participate in a movie after participating in the All-Star Game.

Safina won the favor of a well-known British director with her appearance and temperament, she was invited to play the heroine of this World War II-themed film, the film is about the situation during the Dunkirk retreat during World War II, the script is very good, Safina felt that this was a good opportunity so she agreed to participate, she originally wanted Liu Han to go back to China for the Spring Festival, but Liu Han insisted on accompanying Safina to France.

Liu Han didn't play in the next two months, and he also lost a few endorsement contracts because of the fight, but this did not affect Liu Han's mood, he didn't care much about money, and at the same time, he didn't feel at ease to let Safina come to France alone to film, and he felt that the atmosphere of the Zhao family was a little unsuitable for him when he returned to China, so Liu Han insisted on coming to France to accompany Safina to film.

"Sir, ma'am, your beer." Ribery brought beer to Liu Han and Safina.

"Thank you, man, I have a question for me, can I?" Liu Han took the beer and handed over a hundred francs.

"Please, sir."

"Are there any famous attractions or tourist areas here? I would love to visit Lille. Also, don't look for money, the rest is your tip for answering questions. Liu Han looked at Safina with a very smug look, meaning to say, look, dear, I have found a place to play.

Safina looked at Liu Han a little helplessly, and this guy's expression made Safina feel like a child.

"Thank you, sir, I know the Lille region well, there are many historical sights, and there are many scenic tourist areas, you have come here to make the right choice, but you have a lot of tips, I will charge a maximum of ten francs per tip." Ribery's expression was not happy to receive an unexpected tip, and he even felt that Liu Han's wanton behavior was a little contemptuous of him, so he refused the extra tip after answering Liu Han's question.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to discriminate against you, it's just that this is my first time in Europe and I don't know the rules here. You see, I'm going to stay here for a while, but I'm not familiar with this place, so I'd like to find someone who knows this place to take me around, and if you have time during the day, I'd like to hire you to be my guide, and we can follow the rules here. Liu Han could have hired a professional tour guide to serve him, but he saw something in Ribery's eyes that was like his own, so Liu Han decided to make contact with this hideous-looking little guy.

Safina didn't interrupt Liu Han, he felt that it was a good thing to let Liu Han arrange his own itinerary.

Ribery looked at the other party without a trace of discrimination and his gentle eyes fell into a tangle, he really needed money now, but he didn't know what the purpose of this tall man was. (To be continued.) )
