Chapter 18: The Scales and Claws of Chixian

Between conversations, Shao Yifan's gaze often unintentionally stayed on the girl's body.

This is an oriental girl full of youth, wearing a sportswear school uniform, short black hair just up to the neck, delicate facial features, a little baby fat face, a shallow mole like a jewel under the left eye, and the way she laughs seems to make people forget the boredom in their hearts.

Such a girl will surely become a youth memory for many people in school. Shao Yifan thought secretly in his heart.

Perhaps moved by her smile, Shao Yifan had no reservations about the girl he didn't know before. Under her expectant gaze, she began to tell the story of him on the island of Britain, thousands of miles away.

Gao Shiyu is really interested in Shao Yifan's experience in England, where many things she has never experienced before, and there are some differences from her life. For her, a lot of what she knows about England comes from movies and books. There is no one exact understanding.

"Your mom is British?!" When listening to Shao Yifan talk about the situation of his family, Gao Shiyu was a little surprised.

"That's right. I am of one-half English descent. Shao Yifan said with a smile.

"No wonder I feel like you look weird, it turns out that you are mixed-race, and you thought you were an ethnic minority...... Gao Shiyu muttered.

"......" Shao Yifan was a little speechless, "What do you mean by looking weird?!"

Gao Shiyu smiled apologetically. She didn't mean anything else. It's just that I used to look at Shao Yifan's appearance, although it was quite attractive, but it always gave her an indescribable feeling, and now I know that it is the reason for the mixed race.

Shao Yifan continued to talk about his experience. And Gao Shiyu was also listening carefully. Slowly, the image of the place thousands of miles away in her mind changed dramatically.

From joining Manchester United, to playing for Manchester United for the first time, from winning the championship for the first time, to the night of the Theater of Dreams, Gao Shiyu was completely immersed in his story, looked at him with a little admiration, and couldn't help but admire: "You are really amazing!"

Shao Yifan smiled and didn't answer. Instead, it continued. As he spoke, it was time to say goodbye to the city for the last time.

When he said goodbye to Catherine, and told the story of his relationship with Catherine, he could feel that the girl he didn't know before him was sad for him, and he felt a little more comforted in his heart.

"Why do you have to go back to China? Chinese football is so bad. Gao Shiyu didn't understand it very much.

Shao Yifan sighed and said, "It's precisely because of the bad that someone has to change it."

He didn't go on to explain, but instead talked about what happened after returning home. When he talked about the various grievances he encountered after returning to China and the despair of breaking up with Catherine, Gao Shiyu's face felt sorry for him at the same time, but also a little angry.

"Why are those clubs like this? Backtracking!" Gao Shiyu hugged him and said, "And that Kai...... Catherine, why are you so ruthless? ”

Shao Yifan was silent. He didn't know why. Even though two years have passed, he doesn't know anything.

After a while, Gao Shiyu calmed down for a while, and then asked softly: "You still can't let go of it in your heart, right?"

Shao Yifan nodded honestly. Some things are so easy to put down.

"Then try to get them all back!" Gao Shiyu regained her confident smile and said, "Take back everything that belongs to you!"

Her smile seemed to have a kind of magic, which swept away Shao Yifan, who was originally immersed in memories, with a sad color.

"Good!" Shao Yifan also smiled.

The two chatted for a while, from Shao Yifan to Gao Shiyu. He found out that she was still a high school student. He couldn't help but show a look of envy, he sometimes really wished that he was like them, going to school every day, and not having to think about so many troubled things.

"What's the matter, student life is not as good as you think." Gao Shiyu rolled her eyes.

"Isn't it? Classes start at eight o'clock every day, and school ends at four o'clock in the evening, and my studies are very relaxed......"

Gao Shiyu hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Stop, stop, you're talking about students in the UK, right?" Chinese students are not so happy. ”

"As a Chinese high school student, I don't sleep more than six hours a day, basically except for studying, I just study...... Gao Shiyu began to give him a science about the life of Chinese students.

Shao Yifan has some idea of the situation of Chinese students, but he is thinking in his heart, this is the reason why Chinese football cannot develop healthily, right?

Of course, even if she was so scary by her, Shao Yifan was still very interested in reading. It's just that now he can't leave football. Maybe one day, when he can't run or kick, he won't think about other wishes.

It was getting late, and as a student, Gao Shiyu naturally didn't want to go back too late. So, goodbye quietly came.

It's just that Gao Shiyu suddenly remembered that she didn't even know the name of the boy in front of her!

So, Gao Shiyu asked embarrassedly, "What's your name?"

"Shao Yifan." Shao Yifan replied.

"Gao Shiyu." Gao Shiyu still wore her smile, and after saying goodbye to Shao Yifan, she left here.

Shao Yifan watched her departing back disappear around the corner, and silently turned his head to look out the window, with her smiling appearance in his mind.

Neither of them asked for each other's contact information, perhaps they both thought it was just a simple encounter. He told her interesting things about another world, and she listened to what he had been holding back to his heart, and that was enough.

Gao Shiyu, who walked to the street, suddenly remembered something, "Shao Yifan? He is Shao Yifan who recited the Tao in his uncle's mouth?!"

So, without thinking about it, she hurriedly ran back again, she couldn't forget her uncle's happy look that day, if she brought him back a Shao Yifan's signature, then he didn't know what happiness would be!

But when she returned to her original place, the seat was already empty, and Shao Yifan's shadow was gone.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we have a chance." Gao Shiyu left here with some frustration.

……

Shao Yifan sat on the bus, looking at the neon city outside the window, but his mood was no longer as if there was a stone pressing on the bottom of his heart before. Maybe it was the chat with Gao Shiyu that made him unload a lot of baggage at once.

At this moment, his phone rang suddenly, and he picked it up and gently put it to his ear.

The familiar English with a Manchesteran accent came to the ears, "It's so late, are you still training?" When are you going home? "It's Woolf's voice.

"It's coming soon." Shao Yifan replied with a smile.

Be in the moment and work hard to move forward.
