Chapter 43: The Luckiest Day

The title of goddess seems to have lost its original meaning now, and all kinds of inexplicable and chaotic people can call themselves XX goddesses, especially on the Internet, these two words have become a label with ridicule and not enough solemnity. But for some people, the goddess is still sacred and inviolable, and she is willing to wear holy clothes to be born and die for the sake of the "Athena" in her heart. And Li Mudi's goddess is more like an idol or favorite star in the ordinary sense, not too fanatical, just simply liked and appreciated.

Of course, goddesses can't all be perfect, after all, there is only one angel like Audrey Hepburn in this world, but they all have certain qualities that attract his attention, or acting, or singing, or temperament, as they gradually understand and slowly evolve into love, the goddess was born. It has nothing to do with love or anything, it's just a kind of appreciation, the kind of appreciation that will make you feel happy when you stand not far away and look at them. Of course, the first condition for being able to become his goddess is that her appearance must be high, which is nothing to explain.

While waiting for the arrival of the goddesses, Li Mudi's little heart was already pounding, and the temperature in New York was already below zero at this time, but he still felt sweat on his head in a small windbreaker. Before anyone came, he hurriedly put the flowers in his hand on the ground, took out a paper towel and wiped it, and after half a pack of paper went down, it could be regarded as temporarily maintaining his image.

As soon as the flowers were picked up again, a group of three people over there walked over, and Song Qian led Li Shungui and Lin Yun'er with a smile on their faces. Without waiting for Li Mudi, who couldn't speak out in time because he was a little nervous, to open his mouth, Song Qian explained that Kim Taeyeon and Jung so-jung couldn't come over because of the performance for a while, and asked Li and Lin to come over as representatives to meet the fans and apologize on their behalf.

After Song Qian gave a brief introduction to the three people, Li Shungui and Lin Yuna bowed 45° to Li Mudi very formally, and the latter also said sorry words in very proficient Chinese. Facing the "big gift" of the two goddesses, Xiao Li, who is a fan brother, was naturally a little frightened, holding the flowers in his hand and feeling a little overwhelmed, and it took a while to react, and even said that he was not polite. Due to the tense relationship, Li Mudi's voice suddenly soared very high, which startled everyone. Facing the somewhat surprised gazes of the three beauties, Li Mudi was very embarrassed, cleared his throat and wanted to say something, but he stammered again, which made Song Qian laugh all of a sudden, and teased: "It seems that you are really a fan of Girls' Generation, and you are really excited after seeing your idol." The atmosphere eased suddenly, and Li Mudi gave his compatriots a grateful look, and he was able to smile calmly.

After that, a few people had some happy conversations, needless to say, the two Celestial Dynasty fellows needless to say, Li Shungui was already a communicative expert, although Li Mudi's Korean was not very good, and many words were not very clear, but with Song Qian, the "top translator", there was no obstacle to communication, only Lin Yuner stood aside with a smile on her face, but she didn't talk much. Because the girls really don't know much about football, so the topic revolves around the entertainment circles of the two countries, after learning the amount of money they can get for attending an event in the Celestial Empire, Li Mudi feels very desperate, his annual salary for a year is not worth the share of a month's "parade", if it weren't for his appearance and singing voice, he really wanted to join the entertainment industry! Song Qian and Lee Soon-gyu were curious about why a football coach working in Europe knew some Korean, and when they heard that learning Korean was because they liked them, they laughed and said that Li Mudi was a liar, a player, and he could say such outrageous sweet words, and Li Mudi's first lie about taking the initiative to flirt with his sister was ruthlessly exposed.

Happiness always flies quickly, and when Li Mudi just opened his heart and had the urge to bow down with Li Shungui, a voice calling them came from afar, and the three goddesses were going back to prepare to perform on stage. Before they left, the reluctant Li Mudi took a few group photos, exchanged Twitter and Instagram accounts with the two members of Girls' Generation, and then watched them return to the team not far away with flowers.

Just when he was infinitely sentimental, several young men dressed in very energetic clothes walked towards him, and after bowing slightly, one of them said in Chinese: "Excuse me, are you Chinese?" A soccer coach? ”

Li Mudi hurriedly withdrew the gaze that had been staring at the goddesses before and turned around. Yo, the person who spoke knows it, little sheep! "You are Zhang Yixing, my name is Li Mudi, I am from the Celestial Empire, and now I have entered the Spanish nationality and coach a football team there." As he spoke, he nodded slightly to the few people behind the little sheep, and he couldn't be picked.

After getting a positive reply, the innocent and shy smile on the little sheep's face became even brighter, "Sure enough, I just heard that Sister Song Qian went back to find someone, saying that there was a football coach fan from the Celestial Empire who came to visit the backstage, so I planned to come over to take a look." After smirking twice, he seemed to have just reacted, and turned around to introduce the people who came with him. "This is Xiumin, he likes football very much, and when he heard that there were coaches from European teams, he came with him."

"Hello (in Korean)!" The young man, who was dressed a little charmingly, bowed more than 60 degrees with adoring eyes, and then happily reached over with his left hand and his right hand. No wonder the old saying "polite people are not strange", even if he does not have a good impression of Korean men, but in the face of such a polite young man, Li Mudi had to treat him politely, and after shaking hands, he briefly introduced himself in Korean. When they heard that this man turned out to be the manager of Real Madrid's reserve team, several people were taken aback. South Korean football is one of the strongest in Asia, so it is very popular with the people, and most of the men in South Korea have some basic understanding of football, so they naturally know the status of Real Madrid in the football circle. The other two also stepped forward to introduce themselves, named Chen and SUHO, respectively, and at first glance they thought they were also from the Celestial Empire.

Among these four people, Xiumin is an absolute fan, pulling Li Mudi to ask about Real Madrid and Castilla all the time, and he is very excited, while Little Sheep plays the role of Song Qian before, responsible for translation. If the men get along very well, the progress will definitely be rapid, and in about ten minutes, Li Mudi's title in Xiumin's mouth will become a very intimate "brother" in Korean. Also due to the next performance, several people had to go back first, and after exchanging contact information on the Internet, everyone waved goodbye.

At this time, the temperature was already a little low for Li Mudi's clothes, and there were already a lot of melon-eating people gathered in the square, and hot DJs also appeared on the stage, following the rhythmic music "Yo, Yo". From the previous chat, Li Mudi has learned that this stage will be in the form of live-mr, that is, semi-open microphone, which is already lip-syncing in his eyes. But the environment on the scene is really not good enough, and the effect of real singing may be bad, so it's not that I can't understand S.M's approach. It's just that how to sing is the choice of the company and the artists, and whether to listen or not is the choice of the audience.

Back at Raul's home, just in time for the family and the Ginnes couple, there was a hands-on dinner for Li Mudi in the evening, another fusion of Spanish and American-Chinese food. I don't know who found the saying "get on the car dumplings and get off the noodles" on the Internet, and ordered a large pot of dumplings for Xiao Li, who was about to take the plane the next morning, which is not the kind of American-style chicken dumplings (Chicken & Dumplings) similar to chicken nuggets stewed noodles Gada, but authentic Chinese dumplings, which made him cry.

After dinner, it was still early, and a large group of people took out the gift that Li Mudi had given to Raul's youngest son Matteo at Christmas—a huge pirate barrel, ten men, twenty-four knives, to see who had the worst luck, and the chosen one was going to put on a show. This game doesn't look like it has much technical content, but it is a classic entertainment that has been popular all over the world for decades, and adults and children like it very much. And on this night, due to the large number of participants, the probability of "winning" in the first round is very high, and the battle is often solved in a minute or two, which is very exciting.

Speaking of which, Li Mudi's luck today is really good enough, during the day, he suddenly saw four goddesses who had never been in contact with him in reality in the past ten years (counting Song Qian, a newcomer), and ate dumplings that "fit the situation" at dinner, and in the game that lasted for more than an hour, he was the only one who remained undefeated and golden, which did mean some luck. In the casual conversation before going to bed, Genes and Raul both joked that Li Muddy should take advantage of his luck to buy Powerball, knowing that the world's highest lottery has not produced a jackpot for nearly three months, and now the jackpot prize pool has accumulated nearly 1.2 billion US dollars, which is the largest in history, and many people are crazy about it.

Li Mudi did not have the habit of buying lottery tickets before, only occasionally bought a few bets, and never won a penny. However, as soon as I heard that the prize pool already had so much money, I couldn't help but feel excited, and decided to see if I could dream of the winning numbers when I went to bed at night, and whether I could contribute to my small coffers under the light of the lucky halo. It's a pity that after drinking a few glasses of red wine, I slept too hard at night and didn't have a dream. When I got up in the morning, I had to fill in a few numbers and leave them to Raul, so that he could help buy twenty bets, which is just twenty dollars.

This time back to Spain, the flight chose to transfer in Madrid, so although it takes three hours more, it can save half of the price, which is quite cost-effective. After more than 10 hours in the air, Li Mudi arrived at Palma de Mallorca Airport at noon on December 31, 2015, and lay down in his room on his farm half an hour later.

This is Li Mudi's first official solo trip, so he naturally brought back gifts to his parents, two sets of clothes and American ginseng, a specialty of American ginseng, that Ma Man helped choose, and the latter spent more than 600 dollars on tariffs alone, which was too dark. Next, of course, it was another big meal to serve, and Li Mudi, who had not eaten the taste of his hometown for a long time, had to temporarily untie his belt, and his waist circumference increased by 2 inches.

After just one night at home, the boss of Castilla had to fly back to Madrid on New Year's Day 2016, as the first league game of the new year was played two days later, when he hosted the last team in the first half of Group 2 of La Liga B: Arenas Club de Getxo. was supposed to gather early, but Li Mudi wanted everyone to be able to spend the New Year's Day with his family, so he won a holiday from the chairman, but this also brought difficulties to the team's preparations, and there was only more than a day to do so, which was very hasty.
