After coming to China, as he visited more and more places, Shao Yifan became more and more fascinated by the country's great rivers and mountains. From coastal wetlands to the roof of the world, from desert sandstorms to fertile plains, it is hard to imagine that these beautiful landscapes are concentrated in the same country.

The mountain city of Chongqing is one of the most representative places, and many unique scenery here fascinates Shao Yifan. In the first two days of coming to Chongqing, Shao Yifan would come to the riverside every night to admire this beautiful riverside ancient city.

He also used to quietly admire London at night by the River Thames, but the two cities gave him two completely different feelings. The Yangtze River and Chongqing are a majestic feeling. The River Thames and London, on the other hand, are the elegance and sophistication that are unique to the West. The two have their own charm, but in comparison, he prefers Chongqing.

After a brief moment of relaxation, he hasn't lost sight of the purpose of coming here, to take all three points in the city with his team-mates. Although the city made him love.

On the day of the game, the Chongqing Olympic Sports Center, the home of the Chongqing team, gathered fans, with nearly 50,000 attendees and earth-shattering cheers, all of which put a lot of pressure on the red football players.

However, after a few rounds of baptism, the run-in of the new barefoot lineup is getting better and better. Shao Yifan, Chen Wei, Bell and others are also steadily improving their tacit understanding with the team.

Barefoot broke the deadlock in the first half, with Bale creating a penalty and taking the penalty himself. Although Chongqing was eager to equalize, their barefoot defense was very tight and did not give them any chance.

In the second half, Shao Yifan scored with a header to expand the score. Although the Chongqing team then pulled one back, in stoppage time, Resio assisted Hudson to score again, which completely killed the suspense of the game! In the end, barefoot defeated Chongqing 3-1. Achieved an excellent record of five consecutive wins in all competitions!

Winning all three points again also kept Barefoot out of the relegation zone temporarily, and although it cannot be said that it was relegated early, the pressure has been reduced a lot.

After the victory over Chongqing, the Chinese Super League also ushered in a month-long summer break, and each team has more time to adjust.

When Shao Yifan heard the barefoot summer training arrangement, he was very surprised. They will travel to Spain for almost 20 days during the break, and after the camp, there will be a friendly against Real Madrid. That's right, it's Real Madrid, not their second team, Castilla.

"Is this the strength of the Middle East consortium? Even Real Madrid's friendly matches can be arranged! Shao Yifan sighed.

"On the one hand, of course, it is the strong strength of the Middle East consortium, and on the other hand, it is also because Real Madrid cares very much about the Chinese market." Captain Xie Zhen explained.

"And you used to be like that?" Shao Yifan asked him curiously.

"In the past, I also went to Spain for training, where there was a better training environment," Xie Zhen recalled, "However, there has never been a friendly match against Real Madrid, and some teams from La B are arranged." I didn't expect to invest so much this year, and it seems that the consortium is starting to want results! ”

Shao Yifan nodded. The team's pursuit of higher goals is naturally a good thing for him, and no one wants to watch his team fight for a relegation every year!

……

After returning to Chixian from Chongqing, the club gave the players three days off, and after three days, they will travel to Spain together.

Shao Yifan simply didn't train day and night in the past three days. Except for the morning exercise every morning, the rest of the time is free to arrange.

However, it was only at this time that he realized how lonely he was in the city. The friends he had made could be counted on one hand.

Shao Yifan sighed and flipped through WeChat's address book boringly. It's just a few contacts, and it's all over in one slip. A small bookstore

Suddenly, his eyes stayed on Gao Shiyu's name, this girl who was quite "fated" with him seemed to be a friend, right?

Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Shao Yifan sent her a greeting: Hello! How are you doing? ”

On the other side, Gao Shiyu, who was sitting at the desk reading a book silently, heard the ringtone of his mobile phone, so he put down the book in his hand and turned on the mobile phone.

She doesn't have many friends in WeChat, and even fewer people chat with her often, so the first thing she thinks of is her best friend Xiaoxiao. But when I saw Shao Yifan's name, I was surprised. Except for a few words exchanged that night, they never took the initiative to talk.

Gao Shiyu thought about it and replied: "It's good, stay at home during the summer vacation, read books, and listen to songs." What about you? How did you come up with the idea to message me? ”

"That's good. I've just come back from Chongqing, and I'm going to Spain for training in a few days. I don't have many friends here, so when I'm bored, I want to talk to you! Shao Yifan explained, and after the news was sent out for a while, he asked again: "We are friends, right?" ”

Gao Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Of course we are friends!" I watched the game you played in Chongqing yesterday without any mistakes! ”

Shao Yifan was a little surprised. He knew that Gao Shiyu was not a fan, at least not before.

Gao Shiyu remembered something and asked, "I'm going to the bookstore in a while, do you want to go with me?" As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to withdraw. Does this count as an unsolicited appointment?

"A bookstore? Yes! Shao Yifan replied immediately. Images of the past unconsciously flashed through his mind.

"Alright, let's come to Sky Bookstore! I'll be waiting for you at the door in a moment. Since Shao Yifan had agreed, she naturally couldn't go back, so she said.

"Good. Here it goes. Shao Yifan hurriedly ran to the bathroom to tidy up his appearance, and changed into clothes that were more satisfactory to him, and then left home, took a taxi, and rushed to the Sky Bookstore.

Sky Bookstore, as soon as you hear the name, you know that it is related to the Sky Course. In fact, it is also owned by the Barefoot Club, and it is not very far from the Sky Course. As a large bookstore in a modern and fashionable style, the purpose is also to help create a commercial area centered on the Sky Stadium.

When Shao Yifan came here, Gao Shiyu was already waiting at the door.

"You're coming quickly!" Shao Yifan said with a smile. Today's Gao Shiyu is wearing a khaki dress and a pair of small cloth shoes, giving people a bright feeling.

Gao Shiyu also smiled, stroked the short hair in her ear, and said, "It's closer." Let's go, let's go inside! ”

Shao Yifan nodded. The two walked into the bookstore together. In other words, it is more appropriate to call it a book city. It has three floors, which is many times larger than the bookstore in Manchester's Chinatown.

There are more people on the first floor of the Sky Bookstore, and the two shuttle through the crowd, which also attracts a lot of attention. Both of them are deliberately dressed up today, one is fresh and moving, the other is handsome and handsome, which is secretly enviable.

"Do you come to the bookstore often?" Looking at Gao Shiyu's familiar appearance, Shao Yifan asked.

"The student party naturally comes to the bookstore a lot. Aren't you going to Spain? Go, there are books on Spanish tourism that you can learn about. Saying that, Gao Shiyu enthusiastically pulled him towards an area.

And Shao Yifan's heart just felt inexplicably warm.
