Francisco is a clerk in a football store, to be exact, this old fan store that has been specializing in European clubs for more than 30 years, as well as many souvenirs of football stars, is his family's business - his grandfather set up this small shop, and then his father inherited it, and now he is helping in the store, if nothing happens, in a few years, when the old Francisco is old, he will become the owner of the store.

Unlike most cities that specialize in exclusive fan goods for one club, this small shop in the heart of Valencia is not limited to selling fan goods for the Bats, but also for almost all La Liga teams' scarves and flags...... You can see it in this small shop, as well as some well-known foreign clubs, and even some exclusive souvenirs of some unknown small clubs, which can be found here.

The shop sells a lot of things, but it's all genuine, and because of the variety of things, you can find almost everything you can think of here, so the business of the small shop has always been very good.

Although he is the future owner of the shop, Francisco works no different from the ordinary clerk every day, arriving at the shop early, opening the door, polishing all the windows, placing some scattered goods, and replacing the portraits of today's most popular football stars in specific frames...... Work is organized, hectic and fulfilling.

But today Francisco seems a little lazy, perhaps it is not accurate to describe it as lazy, Francisco is still very active and enthusiastic to serve customers, but there is only one object of service - a beautiful and delicate young girl, like an elf, when she walks into the store, it seems that the whole small shop looks youthful because of her.

Francisco swears she's never seen a girl so thrilled, maybe not the prettiest girl she's ever seen, but she's the one she feels the most — especially when she looks at the person hanging out in the store, which proves she's a true fan.

It doesn't get any better than being able to "tie up" himself in such a fan shop at a young age, and Francisco is naturally a die-hard fan. The thought of it made him feel tempting...... If his girlfriend also loves football and is still beautiful, they can go to the stadium together on the weekends, such a life......

It's a life that's sure to be as sunny as the beaches of Mallorca.

But what made Francisco feel bitter was that although the elf-like girl had been walking around the store, she seemed to be a little unapproachable, and in the face of Francisco's enthusiastic "service", she only occasionally nodded, spit out two simple characters, and then continued to browse in silence.

Francisco could only return to the cash register, holding his chin in his hand, seemingly casually, his eyes drifting to the delicate girl from time to time.

"Don't be so sad, Francisco, if you like, you should be bold and direct, you can go over and tell her, you are beautiful, can I ask you for your phone number?"

Another clerk at the shop, who was also Francisco's best friend, Josédo, walked up to him and touched him with his elbow with a teasing smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, I...... I ......"

Francisco is a little embarrassed, although the impression of Spaniards to the world has always been bold and hot and open, but there are always exceptions, Francisco is a "good boy" who has never been in love, so he was directly explained by his friend, his face instantly turned red, and his hands and feet looked a little cramped.

"Come on, man, you almost didn't have the words 'I like you' written on your face right now."

Josedo pursed his lips and glanced at the area where the football magazines were placed in the distance, the girl was looking down and flipping through the magazines, and when she turned around, Josedo continued to "encourage" and said, "It is indeed a very exciting girl. I said man, what are you hesitating about, it's not easy to meet a girl you like, if you don't seize the opportunity, maybe walk out of this store, and you won't have a chance to meet again. Confess boldly, everyone has the right to chase the ball and love, and they may be rejected, but if they don't do anything, they are destined to have no chance. ”

Francisco was clearly impressed by his friend's offer, but hesitated: "I ...... May I? ”

"Of course! You are the face of our shop, who doesn't know in this neighborhood, little Francisco is the most handsome and best boy in the whole block! Listen to me, go ahead, you go and see which player she's reading and then you find common ground and talk to her...... Finally, look for the phone number she wants, and voila, isn't it all natural? ”

"But like this...... Wasn't that just me cheating on her? ”

"My God, Francisco, how idiot are you...... No, how innocent! This is a small way to chase girls, okay? Damn, I'm too lazy to care about you, just go if you want to, and regret it later if you don't go to yourself! ”

Josedo was completely speechless for his "innocent" friend, rolled his eyes, and left in a huff.

Francisco, on the other hand, is it in the past, or is it not in the past?

The answer was obvious, and after a few moments, Francisco mustered up his courage and walked slowly.

……

In the corner of the magazine and newspaper area, the girl stood in place, looking at the football magazine in her hand with a focused expression, perhaps seeing something that made her feel happy and excited to report, the corners of the girl's mouth have been filled with a happy smile, and there is warm sunlight shining in from the transparent glass window, sprinkling on her body, making the girl look more quiet and beautiful.

The warm sunshine, the quiet girl, such a picture, made Francisco, who had never experienced love, a little stunned, but soon he remembered what he was here for, and kept cheering himself up in his heart, "I'm here to talk...... No, I'm here to ask for a call, I'm here to ask for a call", it seemed that saying more than that, really gave him courage, and Francisco walked behind the girl.

The girl looked very attentive and did not seem to be aware of Francisco's arrival, which made Francisco breathe a sigh of relief, he turned his head, and saw the contents of the football magazine in the girl's hand.

The main character in the content is a young and handsome man with black hair and a yellow face, this is a photo of a goal after a goal running in celebration, the young player's face is full of confidence and recklessness, and the cheering fans in the stands seem to be his backdrop, and he seems to have the whole world under his feet.

"It's ...... Fan?! ”

Francisco couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

He was pleasantly surprised, and although he was a native Valencian, and his father and grandfather loved and supported the Bat Legion, it was clear that there was a "rebel" in the family, because Francisco didn't like Valencia, but liked a country team in the region, yes, Villarreal.

As a superstar who came out of the small town, Francisco naturally admires it, and unceremoniously says that Francisco is a die-hard fan of Fan Bizhuang, even if the teenager has transferred away from the town, but whenever he talks about the king of the town with his friends, Francisco's face is full of excitement and pride.

The king of the small town, this is indeed the pride of all the fans who love Villarreal! Look at Fan Bizhuang, who is now calling for wind and rain in world football, and is so hot that every achievement is made by giving small town fans a long face, and Fan Bizhuang, who is labeled as a small city, is telling the world with excellent performances again and again with goals - small places can also produce big stars!

Of course, another reason why Francisco was happy was that he didn't expect that the girl in front of him who made him feel excited turned out to be a fan of Fan Bizhuang, beautiful, with the same hobbies as himself, and at the same time he liked the king of the small town...... It's so blissful, if you can have a romantic relationship with each other!

The screams clearly startled the focused girl, and she frowned and turned her face to see the uniformed clerk standing behind her.

The girl glanced at the clerk with an obviously surprised look on her face, shook her head suspiciously, and was about to put the magazine back in its place, Francisco was already excited: "You...... Did you just look at Fan? Do you like him too? ”

The girl, who had been silent before, did not remain silent this time, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face, almost making Francisco stunned again.

"Yes, it's Fan! I like him a lot, very, very much. I want to be with him forever. ”

Francisco was even more excited to get the exact answer, she and herself both liked Fan Bizhuang, which was simply great, and if they could be together, then there would be no shortage of common topics for the rest of the day...... As for the latter sentence, Francisco naturally filtered it out, isn't this normal, an outstanding superstar like Fan Bizhuang has countless female fans all over the world, and these star chasers want to be with him "forever".

Well, Francisco is a very common "avid female fan" who treats the girl in front of him.

"You like him too?"

Francisco was still planning how to get close to each other in the name of Fan Bizhuang, and the girl had already spoken again: "You like him too?" ”

"Like! Like!! Very, very special...... Like! I love Villarreal, I love Van and he's the best player in the whole world, he's the best! I will always support him, he is the pride of all our fans in the town! ”

When it came to Villarreal and Van Bizhuang, Francisco couldn't hold his mouth shut, he had forgotten the purpose of his visit, but ran back to the cashier with great interest, and then ran back with a stack of magazines, portraits, and commemorative books.

"Look, that's what I've gathered, everything about Fan. There's the post-match report of his first appearance for Villarreal, there's the photo of him being voted the best of the competition for the first time, and this, it's the photo of Van winning the European Golden Boy award......"

The girl always had a quiet smile on her face, and looked at the clerk as if she were showing off her treasured child, and she talked excitedly without interrupting, just nodding from time to time.

“…… The only regret is that I rarely have the opportunity to go to the Love Song Stadium because of the store...... Maybe there will be a chance in the future, I will find Fan and tell him that I am his most loyal fan and hope that he can have a photo with me...... No, as long as there is a signature...... He knows he's a big star, he's busy and he's not in Spain right now......"

Francisco had completely forgotten that he wanted to come to this elf-like girl to ask for a phone number, and when he said that he didn't have an idol's autograph and group photo, his face couldn't hide his regret and loss.

"Trust me, you'll have his autograph and a group photo. He would also be honoured to know that there is such a die-hard fan. ”

The girl's voice swept across Francisco's cheeks like a breeze, as if by magic, and the loss in his heart was swept away.
