"Big brother, do you think I have talent, am I a genius?"

Little James's voice was filled with a sense of panic, this kind of emotion Li Lin had never seen in Little James, and the pistachios in the past seemed to have completely changed at this time.

Hearing the other party's words, Li Lin was silent and pondered for a while before answering.

"James, you're undoubtedly a genius, if you're not a genius, then you wouldn't have been selected into Manchester United's academy at the age of seven, if you weren't a genius, you wouldn't have been nurtured by the club, if you weren't a genius, you wouldn't have been able to establish yourself in the academy."

"But I gradually feel as if I can't improve, no matter how hard I train, no matter how hard I work, I really want to be the same person I used to be, I can't go any further, I start to doubt myself a little, am I really a genius?"

Little James's tone became a little agitated, and the speed of his speech became very fast.

"So, what do you think genius is, is it self-taught, or is it born superior?" Li Lin asked rhetorically in a somewhat stern tone.

Little James was asked, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, he has been immersed in the emotions of being a genius, but as he gets older, he feels that the aura on his body is gradually fading, and today in training, watching his good friend Januzai, who is as old as himself, skillfully dribble, and once again in the training match, he is like a drowning man suddenly sober, realized something, and suddenly began to doubt himself.

"James, let me ask you, you said before that no matter how hard you train, no matter how hard you try, it doesn't work. So do you know your own shortcomings? ”

"Yes."

"Which ones?"

"Headers don't work, passing... No, catch the ball..."

Little James said with some difficulty, he suddenly realized that he had always known what his shortcomings were, but why didn't he change them? This discovery made him suddenly not know what to say.

"Looks like you should be aware of it, so can you still say that you can't grow no matter how hard you try?"

Li Lin actually knows very well in his heart that little James is actually a typical young player who has been deceived by praise from the outside world, they are always immersed in that comfortable environment, and they only find out that they have been standing still all these years when the halo dissipates. And these years of standing still have already squandered their talents, which is the template for the fall of a genius.

"James, you can only see the world clearly if you see yourself clearly, if even you are immersed in the illusory world, then everything you see is just a reflection in the unreal."

Little James didn't understand Li Lin's words at the first time, but the development of history later made him finally understand the true meaning of Li Lin's words.

After untying little James, Li Lin breathed a long sigh of relief.

"When did I become a bosom sister, first Ravel, and now little James."

Li Lin shook his head with a smile.

……

At night, Manchester's busy Chinatown during the day is now gradually plunged into darkness, and the lights of the inhabited houses are gradually dimming, only the billboards on the streets are still flashing with colorful lights. Occasionally, a few pedestrians rush by, and the whole street is quiet and harmonious.

Only, suddenly, this silence was shattered.

"Mengjun, where are you going to take me, if the eldest sister knows that we ran out alone so late, she will definitely be angry!"

A pleasant voice rang out in the streets, but then disappeared into the streets.

I saw two figures walking quietly on the street, until they were almost at the end of the street, and then stopped.

"The Boradis Bar?" The figure who spoke just now looked at the bar sign with some surprise, and his voice suddenly raised a little, "You dare to come to the bar so late, you are not afraid that your sister will clean you up!" ”

The latter did not answer, but led her into the bar.

The dim candlelight around, the faint smell of wine wafting between the noses, the soft sound of the piano echoing in the ears, and the guests quietly sipping the wine in their hands, everything here is completely different from the bar imagined by the figure being pulled in.

"How is it, Mengxue, it's nice here!"

Skillfully sat in front of the bar, asked the bartender for two glasses of Alexander, the famous cream mixology, and said to the person next to him with some pride.

Shi Mengjun discovered this bar by chance, and immediately liked it after coming here for the first time, so this time he took advantage of the eldest sister's early rest today, and brought his sister Shi Mengxue to come here quietly.

Shi Mengxue looked around and saw that the guests here were all drinking quietly, and no one looked over here at all, so she couldn't help but nod and said, "That's right, this place is indeed different from other bars." ”

"Give!" He took two glasses from the bartender and handed one to his sister, "I heard that there is still room up there, but people won't let me go up, saying that I don't have the qualifications to go up, which is really frustrating." ”

Since Shi Mengjun discovered this place, he has been full of interest in everything here, such as why there are so many football-related things here, and why is the bad environment here so special, or who opened this place?

Shi Mengjun just heard Uncle Roberts, the person in charge here, say that this is a bar opened by a young Chinese, and the other guests also said that this owner used to come here often, but she had never seen this person, which made her feel itchy in her heart, it was as if she had found the door to the answer, but the door could not be opened, which made people anxious.

Later, she saw the famous actress Jennifer Lawrence take a lot of people to the second floor, she also wanted to follow up to have a look, but was stopped, she knew that there was still space on the second floor, and only those who were allowed by the boss could go up to the second floor, which made her want to see the mysterious boss even more, but unfortunately, she came so many times and never saw the boss here.

The two were chatting quietly in front of the bar, and in the booth in front of them, John Roberts noticed Shi Mengjun.

This beautiful girl has come to Poradis for the third time this week, and it seems that this time she even brought her own sisters, as for why Roberts knew that they were sisters, although foreigners are blind to Chinese faces, but the two girls who obviously look very similar are not so recognizable that he can't recognize them.

"Shi...?"

Thinking about the other party's name with some difficulty, Roberts said that the name of the Chinese is really too difficult to say.

"Just call me Mary, it's my sister Martha." Seeing Roberts' somewhat struggling appearance, Shi Mengjun smiled lightly and took over the conversation, "Sister, this is John Roberts, the person in charge here." ”

Skipping the pleasantries, Roberts kindly reminded: "Mary, I'm afraid my little boss won't come back in a short time, so you don't have to run here every day." ”

Roberts saw that the other party often came, and always asked himself about the situation of the small boss, and once asked himself how to go up to the second floor, and he understood the other party's intentions.

"Why?" Mengjun and Mengxue asked with some curiosity.

Uncle Roberts glanced at the time of the clock on the wall, smiled and said, "You'll know in a moment." ”
