Zhang Jun received a call from Kaka saying that his season was over and that he was planning to return to China. He did not say "come to China", but said "go back to China", which shows that he always believes that China is his true motherland.

"I haven't seen you in a long time, and I miss you so much!"

"Hey, don't talk so sensually, okay?" Zhang Jun felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Hey, hey! I want to play football with you again, go to drink again...... By the way, remember to call Sophie! ”

"You remember Sophie, what do you ask Sophie to do when you drink? I must not have a good heart! Well? Aren't professional footballers not allowed to drink alcohol? ”

"Hee-hee! The coach doesn't know, the agent doesn't know, the parents don't know, what am I afraid of? ”

"Ahh Outside the nickname! Brazil's idol star Kaka maliciously drank alcohol! The image is ruined! ”

“…… Zhang Jun, you're in a good mood. ”

"Hehe, yes, yes. You're coming to China, and Sophie will go back to Luoyang tomorrow. Good things come in pairs. ”

"Everyone has to come back, it's going to be very lively, I'm looking forward to it! I'm so lonely alone in Brazil......"

"Vomit...... You pervert, I really don't know what those female fans of yours will think when they know your true colors! ”

"Haha! But I really miss you! ”

"I know, and so do I, haven't seen each other in two years...... Come back, let's go drink. ”

"Huh? Outside the nickname! The Dutch league's silver boot shooter tricked Brazil's idol star Kaka into drinking too much! It's really the biggest scandal in football! ”

“……”

According to Kaka, he will arrive in Shanghai on June 24, transfer to Zhengzhou, and then transfer to Luoyang. He actually came back this time to take some time off, and the transfer to Milan was in full swing, but he flew to China alone. So he won't be able to stay for a few days before leaving, at most a week he'll have to go back to Brazil and then go to Milan after hearing the news. At that time, it was almost time to sign a contract.

It's been two years since they've been apart, and no matter what, he should go back to China to see his friends and relive the good old days together.

Come back, Kaka.

※※※

After Sophie finished the last exam, she couldn't wait to board the train back to Luoyang that night. If she didn't catch this train, she would have to wait two more days, because the train was from Hefei to Chengdu, and there was only one train the next day. Sophie obviously couldn't wait that long, and she began to look forward to reuniting with Zhang Jun while sitting on the train. It's been almost a year since we saw each other, what has changed about him? The boy who hugged her like a doll a year ago has grown up, right?

The train rumbled through the tunnel.

The train roared across the plains.

The train is booming, why is the heart beating so fast?

Why do you feel that your heartbeat is so in tune with the rumble of this train?

Return to the heart like an arrow, return to the heart like an arrow......

When Sophie got off the train, she didn't see Zhang Jun, who she had been expecting all the way. Looking at the bustling station square, she reacted for a long time, Zhang Jun told her, because he didn't want reporters to take advantage of it, so he wouldn't come to pick her up.

"You can take a taxi back alone, I will wait for you at home."

I'll be waiting for you at home.

"Taxi!"

"Where?"

"Jianxi Peony Square Xinglin Community. Can you try to be as fast as possible? Driver master. ”

Waiting for me at home, Zhang Jun.

※※※

Sophie went home and put her things away, chatted with her parents for a few words, and began to be absent-minded. Mom and Dad watched it funny, "Sophie is tired, right?" Rest and rest, and we will go to Zhang Jun's house for dinner in a while. The two of them said as they began to walk into their bedrooms.

"Okay." Sophie nodded.

The door slammed shut, and the sound of the television sounded. Sophie exhaled softly, then sneaked a peek at the closed door of her parents' bedroom, and there was no movement. Seems to be able to act......

Sophie went out lightly, although she likes Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun likes her, but this kind of thing has not been made public enough to be unscrupulous in front of her parents. knocked on the door of Zhang Jun's house, Zhang Jun's parents were not at home, it was Zhang Jun who opened the door.

"Sophie!" After Zhang Jun saw the girl who was thinking about the night, he screamed excitedly.

Sophie also wanted to call out, if it wasn't for Zhang Jun calling out before her. She finally saw Zhang Jun for real, not through TV pictures or photos in newspapers. It's a boy who can breathe, talk, get excited, and giggle......

Sophie stretched out her arms to Zhang Jun: Zhang Jun, I'm back......

※※※

"Zhang Jun, you're black." Sophie looked at Zhang Jun's face and said.

"Tsk, what a cliché line, similar words have appeared three times in these two chapters." Zhang Jun turned his head and said, "However, I like it." ”

Sophie smiled.

"You know what? Zhang Jun, someone actually asked me to shoot an advertisement! ”

"Advertising?"

"yes, when I was sketching at school, I was approached by a man who claimed to be a director. Originally, I didn't want to agree to him, but when I heard that I was playing with you, I agreed without hesitation. Hee-hee! ”

"Huh?! In this way, Sister Hua said that there is an advertisement we want to shoot in July. I really didn't expect you to be the heroine?! Although Zhang Jun was a little surprised, he was still happy because he could stay with Sophie for a few more days.

The time to come back is always too short, and the day by day is too fast.

Why don't you stay? Why not wait?

I wanted to make this moment forever, but I found that I couldn't do magic.

Let me take one more look at you, one more look.

Keep each other's faces in your heart forever.

No matter where you are in the future, you will never be lonely.

Really, it won't be lonely anymore.

……

The two looked at each other like this, until Zhang Jun suddenly remembered something, and then asked Sophie, "Are uncles and aunts at home?" ”

Sophie nodded.

Zhang Jun pulled Sophie up and walked to the mirror to tidy up her clothes. "What are you doing?" Sophie asked him, puzzled.

Zhang Jun brushed his hair with a comb a few times, turned his head to Sophie and said, "I want to formally propose to you in front of you and my parents!" ”

※※※

Zhang Jun's parents and Sophie's parents sat side by side on the sofa in Zhang Jun's living room with a puzzled expression, looking at Zhang Jun and Sophie, who were sitting opposite each other, and Sophie, who looked shy. I don't know what kind of medicine they sell in their gourd.

Zhang Jun coughed first, "Well, I ......" His heart was beating fast, and his voice trembled a little when he opened his mouth. He was desperately trying to stabilize his nervousness, if he stammered in such an important matter, wouldn't it be too insincere and ruin the atmosphere?

Seeing that Zhang Jun didn't speak for a long time, his father finally couldn't help but ask: "Zhang Jun, do you have something?" ”

"I, I want to announce to you, announce something." Zhang Jun lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists on his knees. He licked his lips and took another deep breath. "Actually, I mentioned this to Sophie last year. Well, I'm here to ask for your opinions. Before he knew it, he had forgotten the tension.

The summer sunset hung in the sky, and the golden light poured in from the window, and there was no light in the house, just light and shadow. It's dusk again, and I'm really close to dusk...... Zhang Jun sat in the shadows, his voice getting louder and louder.

"I, Zhang Jun, officially proposed to Sophie, and I hope Sophie can marry me Zhang Jun!"

The second jumped, and the last one came to rest next to the number "6".

The parents of both sides looked at each other in some surprise, and then looked at Zhang Jun and Sophie. Zhang Jun still maintained the posture just now, not moving. Sophie, on the other hand, looked at the red sky outside the window, and the clouds in the sky were dyed red by the falling, like the word "joy" in red......

For a long time—Zhang Jun felt like this—Sophie's father spoke: "Zhang Jun, we know that you have always liked our family's Fei Fei, hehe, you have known it since three years ago. It can be said that your aunt and I have a good impression of you. You are a sensible, ambitious young man......"

When Zhang Jun heard his uncle say so many irrelevant words, he had a bad premonition, and the next must be those third-rate lines: but......

"But." Sophie's mother took it, "You're all young, and Fei Fei is still in school." We know that you have the ability to take care of Fei Fei......" Seeing Zhang Jun raise his head, he seemed to have something to say, and directly let that word stillborn. "But young people should focus on their academic careers. As Fei Fei's mother, I definitely don't want Sophie to be a full-time wife, hehe! Therefore, we hope that before Fei Fei graduates from university, we will not think too much about getting married, which is still too far away. You work hard outside, while Fei Fei concentrates on her studies in school. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jun was a little frustrated, it seemed that they disagreed.

The aunt seemed to see through Zhang Jun's heart: "But you don't have to feel frustrated, Zhang Jun." We just don't approve of your marriage too early, but we don't say we don't agree with your engagement, hehe! ”

"Hah! Don't scare Zhang Jun! Scared the kid out. Your Zhang Jun can take a fancy to our Fei Fei, that's our blessing! Do you say, father-in-law? Sophie's father asked Zhang Jun's father on the side.

"Haha! How so? It should be that our Zhang Jun can marry Sophie, which is a blessing that his kid has cultivated for eight lifetimes! ”

What was supposed to be a very grand and formal - at least that's what Zhang Jun thinks - ended up ruining the atmosphere for the two middle-aged men, and Zhang Jun watched with some tears and laughter as the two elders joked with each other.

Sophie's mother smiled and said, "Zhang Jun, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”

Zhang Jun raised his head in confusion.

"There's always to be a token for an engagement, right?" Zhang Jun's mother reminded her son on the side.

Zhang Jun reacted at this time, he took out a small and delicate box from his pocket, and then carefully opened it in front of Sophie, and a white light was reflected on Sophie's face in this dusk.

Zhang Jun didn't know what to do, so he opened it for Sophie to admire the platinum diamond ring he bought from Milan. In the end, it was his father who reminded him: "Silly boy, what are you doing in a daze?" Put it on Sophie! ”

Zhang Jun hurriedly took the ring out of the box, but he was stunned again because he didn't know which finger the engagement ring should be worn on. This time, the parents were silent, but watched with interest as Zhang Jun was at a loss there.

In the end, Sophie blushed and lowered her head to remind him in a low voice, "Middle finger." Zhang Juncai took Sophie's left hand, and then gently put the platinum ring worth 10,000 euros on Sophie's white jade-like fingers.

The sunlight reflected on it, shaking Sophie for a moment. Sophie kept her head down, looking at the ring on her hand, but she didn't expect that the first thing she wore on her hand, which she had never worn before, was this, an engagement ring.

An engagement ring that binds a lifetime of happiness and commitment.

※※※

Kaka saw Zhang Jun and Yang Pan who came to pick up the airport at Luoyang Airport, as well as a large number of reporters and fans. I just didn't see Anke and Ren Yudi, and Sophie, who should be inseparable from Zhang Jun.

"Anke hasn't had a holiday yet, but it's coming soon. Maybe it'll be here in a few days. After Zhang Jun finished talking to Kaka, he was asked by the reporters around him to hug Kaka, and the flash flashed.

After Zhang Jun finished hugging, he changed to Yang Pan. The flash flashed again.

"Hey, when did you get so open?" Kaka asked in a whisper, some surprise.

"All Chinese fans know that we are friends, what else are we pretending to be?" Yang Pan said and waved and smiled at a group of female fans in the distance, which immediately caused a high-decibel scream.

"You guys, you're really unscrupulous...... Kaka said and began to look around. Don't look, Sophie didn't come. Zhang Jun was afraid of being exposed by reporters, so he didn't dare to bring Sophie out. Yang Pan could see his thoughts at a glance.

"Ahem! By the way, what about Ren Yudi? Why didn't you see him? ”

"Ren Yudi's family has moved away, and there is no way to contact him." Zhang Jun said gloomily.

※※※

On the issue of where Kaka lives, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan have a disagreement. Naturally, you can't let Kaka stay in a hotel, right? So the home of the two became Kaka's choice. Zhang Jun wanted Kaka to live with him, but Yang Pan resolutely disagreed, thinking that Kaka could not disturb the happy life of the couple. So he forced Kakara to his house. Why do you say "hard"? Because Kaka also wants to live next door to Sophie.

After putting his luggage away, Kaka followed Yang Pan to Zhang Jun's house. When Kaka saw Sophie, who was dressed in a fresh outfit, at Zhang Jun's house, he gave a hug in the Brazilian way. Sophie is also very generous, Zhang Jun doesn't think there's anything, everyone is friends, it's normal.

After the hug, Kaka had time to take a closer look at Sophie, who had been separated for two years. She was plumper and taller than before. Her jet-black hair was coiled behind her head, and a few strands of hair hanging down at random on her forehead made her look full of charm. Her skin is still so fair, and with her dark and shining eyes, she can't tell the beauty. Sophie is more mature than when he first met...... However, Kaka's eyes flickered, and as soon as Sophie raised his hand, he was shaken by something.

Looking closely, he noticed that Sophie had a ring on the middle finger of her left hand, reflecting the sun's rays with the movements of her hand. "Sophie, hey, the ...... you wear"

"Oh, hehe! Zhang Jun bought it for me, an engagement ring! Sophie said proudly, raising her hand. The reflection of the platinum ring from the sunlight stung Kaka's eyes and pierced his heart.

Engaged, Sophie turned out to be engaged. Two years ago, she was an innocent and romantic little girl, but two years later, she was already engaged to someone. Although that person was his best friend, there was still some bitterness in his heart. The first time they met, they asked him with wide eyes, "Is Kaka from Brazil?" The girl is gradually moving away from him.

Looking at Zhang Jun, who was smirking on the side, Kaka sighed in his heart: I really don't know how Sophie fell in love with this papaya. He patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder: "You are all engaged?" Don't you know that marriage is the grave of love? He smiled wryly.

Zhang Jun smiled: "But if you don't get married, love will die and there is no place to bury." ”

Kaka looked surprised: "Wow! When will you be able to say such profound words? Yang Pan, how did you educate him in the Netherlands? He turned his head to ask Yang Pan.

"Die! Shibetsu said that he should also be impressed. Besides, we haven't seen each other in two years. Zhang Jun shouted.

We haven't seen each other in two years...... I lifted the World Cup; Zhang Jun and Yang Pan also became professional players and won the first championship of their careers; They will move to Milan this summer, and they will also land in Serie A; Also, Sophie has grown taller and matured, but she is also engaged...... A lot has happened in the past two years.

"I want to see Lao Liang." Kaka muttered.

"Don't worry, when Anke comes back, we'll go together." Yang Pan smiled, "We will have a good gathering, and many people will come when the time comes, and it will be very lively." ”

※※※

In the newly expanded student cafeteria of Shuguang Middle School, there is a lot of people and it is very lively. As a rising football star school that has won the national high school football league for two consecutive years, Shuguang Middle School is more and more favored by junior high school graduates in terms of enrollment, especially Zhang Jun, Yang Pan and Kaka, the three stars, making Shuguang a holy place in the minds of many football teenagers. I heard that the school has established a branch school in cooperation with another school in the high-tech development zone, and will officially start recruiting students this summer, and will implement boarding management. And the cooperation with Shuguang is the opponent on the court that year - the High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology.

Li Yongle still had short hair, wore a casual loose short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, and stepped into the party hall with his hands in his pockets. The other two people who traveled with him were naturally familiar faces: Zhang Yang and Zhang Lintao. One was wearing a military uniform, the other was wearing a fat, death-heavy T-shirt and trousers.

Zhang Jun smiled and said to them, "See you three again, haven't you been together for a long time?" ”

Zhang Yang posed: "We are the legendary star trio of the High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology!" ”

Li Yongle twisted his head: "I don't know him." Zhang Lintao was even more straightforward, he turned his head to look around, and shouted: "Doorman!" Security guard! How did this madman get in? Take him back to the White Horse Temple (Luoyang's psychiatric hospital is near the White Horse Temple)! ”

"Zhang Lintao! You want to die, right? I'll show you the demeanor of the [***] people in your knowledge! ”

Everyone laughed.

Liang Ke and Sun Laihong found a quiet place to discuss some matters related to the upcoming recruitment of football players at the new school. This is not the first time they have worked together, and the Luoyang team was co-coached by the two of them in the national high school competition during this year's winter vacation. It's not surprising that two managers are in charge of a team together, and Sweden is the two-coach.

※※※

It's a big gathering, a big gathering of folk surnames. Anyone you can think of is here. Zhang Jun, their teammates, opponents, and all who can come are here.

"Hey! Lin Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you doing! Zhao Defeng pulled Lin Ling, who was looking east and west, his former opponent, the captain of Tongxing High School.

"Oh! Lao Zhao, you're too short, I really haven't seen you. Lin Ling's face was "surprised".

"Die!" Zhao Defeng scolded with a smile.

"Hah! Lao Zhao, Lin Ling is here! It was Fan Cunjie who said this, "It seems that I came right this time...... Well, Lin Ling, Lao Zhao actually let you die just now, what do you say you should do? ”

"Uh-huh, Lao Zhao, you say, do you want to fight alone, or do you want to fight in groups?" Lin Ling smiled evilly.

"Heads-up, it's you who pick a group of us. As for the group beating, it means that we beat you one by one. Fan Cunjie explained with his fists clenched on the side. Which way do you choose? ”

"A bunch of you?" Zhao Defeng looked at the two people in front of him.

Fan Cunjie flashed to the side, and all Zhao Defeng saw were the opponents he had defeated in the past. Shui Huajun of CITIC Heavy Machinery also stood up: "Hehe, Lao Zhao, don't blame us for urging flowers." Who made you crush us in the first place? Look at how pitiful the little fan is, it's been three years! It's in your claws. Shui Huajun said righteously and strictly, while Fan Cunjie whispered "sobbing" on the side.

"Damn! Don't pretend to be me! Zhao Defeng, who went to college in Yanjing, shouted, "There is a debtor, there is a debt, Xiaoshui was eliminated in the third year of high school, it was Zhang Jun's responsibility, and the goal in the opening nine seconds was more than ......" He saw that Shui Huajun's face was wrong, and hurriedly transferred the object. "Also, Fan Jie (Fan Cunjie's nickname), isn't your last year of losing also planted at the feet of the dawn? Zhang Jun also entered a dragon ......" He saw that Fan Cunjie's face was not right, and he hurriedly changed the topic again. "Uh, dragon...... Longteng, did you watch that game? Zhang Jun's dragon in the Dutch Cup final! I read that the sports weekly newspaper said that Europeans call his ball 'Scorpio', but it is also an image. ”

"That's right! That ball is indeed ...... To be honest, when he scored like this at the Xigong Stadium, I didn't expect him to score like this in the Netherlands three years later. Fan Cunjie looked at Zhang Jun's busy back in the distance and said.

"Is it our luck or misfortune to be able to compete with them?"

No one answered him, perhaps they themselves did not know the answer.

※※※

"Zhang Lintao, how are you doing with your comics?" Zhang Jun took the time to ask Zhang Lintao.

"It's okay, I've organized a comic studio with some people, and while taking on some messy work to make ends meet, I'm ready to draw a masterpiece I've been thinking about for a long time, hehe!"

"Oh? What masterpiece? ”

"It's our life in high school, football games every day, skipping class to watch football, and living with friends! I thought about the name for a long time, and finally decided on it. ”

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, high school life...... "What's the name?" He muttered.

"Do you care if I play football?"

"Do I care when I play football?"

“yes，doyoumindifiplay。”

Do you care if I play football? Zhang Jun thinks about what he has been playing football for more than four years? It's not for the future of Chinese football as the newspaper says, he hasn't thought about it so long-term. It's not about getting ahead and making money. So what exactly is he playing for?

"Sister Sophie!"

He turned his head suddenly, just in time to see Sophie and He Wen greeting each other.

"Because I love football!" That's for that, right? For this sentence, in order to see her smiling face.

Do you care if I play football......

"Nice name, come on!" Zhang Jun patted Zhang Lintao's shoulder beside him.

※※※

"Sister Sophie, the longer you grow, the more beautiful you get!" He Wen had obviously been carefully groomed, with straightened hair just shoulder-length, light eyeshadow and lipstick, two blushes, and a refreshing camisole and miniskirt. But when she saw Sophie, she immediately felt a little discouraged, and her elaborate dress was defeated in front of Sophie's innocence without a trace of artificial embellishment.

Sophie still coiled her long hair behind her head and fixed it with a hairpin, and the first few strands of hair were scattered haphazardly, blown by the wind. There is no powder on his face, and he wears a long light green dress with sandals. When the wind blows, it really brings a wisp of fragrance to the people around you.

"Hehe, aren't you too? Sister He Wen. ”

"But compared to my sister, I'm far behind." He Wen pursed her mouth, looking even more cute.

"Hee-hee, where's your brother?"

"He's there!" He Wen pointed with her hand, but Sophie shouted suspiciously: "Li Yongle? Only then did He Wen realize that she had pointed out that she was wrong, and she pointed out that she was Li Yongle, the senior of the High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology, instead of her brother Anke on the other side. Yes! Wrong, wrong! Both of them are tall men! He Wen hurriedly explained.

Sophie smiled: "Then why didn't you refer to Sima Hongxin and Liu Peng, who are also tall?" She wanted to tease this cute sister, who was two years younger than her.

He Wen blushed.

"Who do you want to show you when you're dressed so beautifully?"

He Wen blushed, and she screamed coquettishly: "I hate it! Sister bullies! People are not for Li Yongle at all......" She suddenly understood, and Sophie was already smiling and bending.

※※※

"Liu Peng, and Sima. We've heard you're a national champion now! Yang Pan took a glass of drink and said to the two people who came from Maojiawan, Sichuan, "Shouldn't you consider having a treat!" ”

"Yes, yes! Treat! The crowd behind him chimed in.

"Go! If you want to talk about a treat, it should be you and Zhang Jun! The two not only became professional players, but also quickly became the hopeful stars of Chinese football, and won the cup in the Netherlands. If you don't invite, heaven will not tolerate it! Liu Peng exclaimed that his U21 title was nothing compared to the Dutch Cup title.

"Yes, yes! Treat! The crowd behind him chimed in.

"Die! I'm afraid the world won't be chaotic! Yang Pan said angrily.

"Huh? What, what? Who's going to have a treat? As soon as Anke heard that he could rub the rice, he immediately squeezed in.

"As soon as you hear it, you will be in the spirits." Yang Pan gave Anke a roll of his eyes.

"We shouldn't be treated!" Zhang Jun and Li Yongle walked over, he pointed at Kaka, "This kid should be treated the most!" World champion, lift the World Cup! Then he became the new icon of Brazilian football, and then he went on to join the big club AC Milan. Let's all go eat him! ”

"Huh?" Kaka was frightened, "No, you're going, Milan is going crazy." ”

The crowd laughed.

"Li Yongle, the big league has been postponed, what are you going to do?" Yang Pan asked Li Yongle beside him.

"I don't know, wait." Li Yongle shook his head.

"Let's just tell Adrianse, let you go to Warrendam for a tryout, and then join the team." Yang Pan gave Li Yongle an idea.

'It's just that Adrianse is very good at developing young players. Oh yes, let you train under Rice for three months, there is absolutely no problem in playing professional games, your foundation is better. Zhang Jun also strongly invited him.

"That's right, in the current environment of Chinese football, no matter how hard you try, you can't get ahead, Li Yongle. Unless......" Liu Peng remembered Qiu Suhui, who was already coaching the National Olympic team, "unless you can meet a good coach." ”

Li Yongle nodded: "I originally wanted to take the best player in a big league, and then go to the Netherlands through Philips, and follow the same path as you." As a result, ...... now" Li Yongle shrugged, a little helpless.

"Well, it's good that you have that idea. That's it, give me a video of you, and we'll bring it to Adrianse when we go back and recommend you to him. ”

"Okay, that's right. How's the transfer situation for the two of you? Li Yongle asked rhetorically.

"Yang Pan has basically decided to go to Bologna, where I go, Sister Hua and the Milan club are busy. I think there will be news soon. Zhang Jun replied.

Anke listened to them open and close their mouths about how professional football is, one by one, they have become famous, they have returned home, and they have talked and behaved like a star. He felt a little unable to interject, so he had to listen to it on the side, but how much did he listen?

The classmates and friends of the past are now going farther and farther.

Only then did Zhang Jun notice An Ke, who was not speaking on the side: "Huh? Anke, are you still working in Germany? ”

Anke nodded.

"Didn't do anything else?"

"Yes!"

"What is it?" Zhang Jun is very interested in this, and he has always hoped that Anke can return to the football field.

"Keep chasing girls! I'm now setting my sights on German girls, and my goal is to get out of Asia and the world! Anke raised his arms and shouted.

"Cut-" There was a loud boo.

※※※

There are always people coming in and out, and when they see familiar people, they sit down and chat together, and the party is no longer limited to the cafeteria, you can see groups of people on the whole campus, they are sitting or standing, walking or stopping, laughing, and fighting......

The number of people in the cafeteria gradually increased, and although all the air conditioners and fans were turned on, the temperature could not be lowered. The glass of ice water that Zhang Jun was holding had been baked into hot water. Everyone was busy, no one came up to talk to him for the time being, and Sophie was also whispering to a few good friends from high school that only belonged to girls.

Liang Ke also read it, he asked himself about some situations and didn't say anything, just let him grasp it himself. "The agent can only give you a counselor, and the idea is to take it yourself. Grasp it yourself, and you will have no regrets about the road. ”

Yuan Gang went to Heilongjiang to go to university, and heard that he was a teacher. I have dedicated three years of high school to football, and I can only teach in college. But it's nothing, Chengjiao is a university, and the unified recruitment is also a university. He plans to come out and get a job after graduation, and he still plays football, but his family won't let him become a professional footballer. He is also satisfied with the current situation: "I can continue to play, hehe, good! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jun remembered Ren Yudi, their family had moved away and was not in Luoyang. He could not be reached at this party anyway. I don't know how he's doing in the field, or if he can't play football.

Some of Lin Xiaofang's students went to university, most of them still taught or took self-examinations, and some went directly to social work. The younger ones had just graduated from high school and were beginning to look forward to their future. Some of them continue to play, while others basically don't play anymore. Life is very realistic, not everyone can make a living from football like they do, as long as they still love football, it's enough, isn't it?

Zhang Jun remembered the scene when the three of them arrived at the school early before the party officially began.

※※※

He thought he was the first to come, but there were already a lot of cars parked in front of the school, bicycles, motorcycles, cars...... When they entered the school gate, they did not go to the cafeteria, where the meeting place, but went straight to the stadium - which seemed to have become a habit for them - and they must go to the stadium when they come to the dawn.

Zhang Jun, Yang Pan, and Sophie went to the team lounge first. Originally, it was just to look outside, but Sophie took out the key and said to see if she could use the key from two years ago to open the door two years later, but she didn't expect the key to be inserted in and twisted, and the door really creaked open. The three of them looked at each other in surprise, then pushed the door in.

The lounge has been renovated with aluminium doors and windows, and the walls and ceilings have been repainted. When Zhang Jun just pushed the door open, he almost didn't recognize that this was the lounge he had used for three years. New seats, new benches, new ceiling lights, new team family portraits...... But he found a row of cabinets against the east wall, which looked extremely incongruous with it all.

"Ahh Still ......," Sophie cried.

Yang Pan modeled the cabinet where the paint had fallen off, and found his name on it: No. 7, Yang Pan is special. Next to it is: No. 11, dedicated to Zhang Jun. There are more familiar names, No. 9, which is dedicated to Ren Yudi; No. 10, special for cards; No. 1, Anke's special ...... "This cabinet seems to have been left behind, like a souvenir. Yang Pan looked at the row of mottled cabinets and said.

"It should be empty, right?" Zhang Jun touched the top of the cabinet corresponding to his own cabinet - their keys had been placed on their respective cabinets before, no one had ever dropped anything, and I don't know if this tradition had persisted - his hands were cold, and there was really a metal object in the palm of his hand. Take it down and take a look, it's really the key! He opened his cupboard, but he was shocked by what he saw, the white Dawn jersey was neatly folded in the cupboard!

"This ......"

Yang Pan also opened his cabinet, and the No. 7 jersey with his name printed on it was also lying quietly inside, and there was a red captain's armband on the jersey!

Zhang Jun took out the jersey, and there was a faint aftertaste of laundry detergent on it. "They seem to take it out and wash it a lot."

Sophie also opened the cabinet with her name on it, and there were no clothes in it, but there were three hardcover books and a pen, which was her team record. One book a year, three thick books.

Zhang Jun was suddenly very moved, these things they handed in when they left the team, but let their juniors keep them.

"There is only one Dawning No. 11 jersey with Zhang Jun's name printed on it, and the same is true for the Dawning No. 7 jersey with Yang Pan's name printed on it." Liang Ke's words sounded behind them.

"Coach!" The three of them were surprised and delighted.

"Hehe, I didn't see you in the cafeteria, so I guessed you would be here." Liang Ke walked in, he looked at the unfolded jersey in Zhang Jun's hand and said: "I let you keep your jersey, and the managers will take it out to clean and dry from time to time." It's not just the two of you, they're still there. I will use new lockers for new recruits, and I don't need the old lockers. ”

Zhang Jun and Yang Pan glanced at each other.

"The key is still on top of the cabinet, and no one has touched it except for cleaning."

Zhang Jun and the three of them opened the cabinet in turn, and sure enough, they saw those familiar jerseys, familiar numbers, familiar names, and seemed to see those familiar faces.

……

"Think about how you got here!" In the first year, before the battle with the High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology on this court, Liang Ke did this to mobilize. It's a pity that the final game was lost, and Zhang Jun didn't play.

……

"You know what? This bracket was drawn by Sophie lying on the ground one night! ”

……

As soon as Zhang Jun looked up, he saw the huge hand-drawn match sheet on the opposite wall, and the red line was still waiting for the whistle to blow at the starting point.

There was a sudden commotion on the field, and several people walked out of the lounge, only to find that a group of people had come to the court at some point, all of whom were former opponents and teammates.

An Ke was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Jun and them coming out of the lounge: "Huh? How did you get in? We thought the door was locked! ”

"Hee-hee! Yes, the door is locked, but I have the key! Sophie shook the key in her hand and smiled, "When I handed over the key, I secretly got one, which I originally planned to keep as a souvenir." Unexpectedly, it has been two years, and this door lock has not been changed. ”

A group of people on the field were playing with a football, not a game, but they hadn't played together for a long time, and their feet were itchy.

The rules are very simple, whoever can break through the defender with the ball and hit the ball into the gate guarded by Sima Hongxin will win the game.

Zhao Defeng, Lin Ling, and Fan Cunjie are in a team of three to challenge the defense composed of Li Yongle, Liu Peng and Sima Hongxin.

"That's Fan Cunjie?" Zhang Jun pointed to the fat man standing next to Zhao Defeng and said in surprise. He really couldn't connect a big fat man with the "artist" who was walking around the court like a leisurely stroll.

Liu Peng and Li Yongle on the field were the same, Zhao Defeng jokingly patted Fan Cunjie's big belly: "Fan Jie, don't knock other defenders away!" ”

Fan Cunjie just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Hurry, hurry! Here we go! "Someone down there is waiting impatiently.

Lin Ling gave the ball to Zhao Defeng, and Zhao Defeng faced Li Yongle and passed the ball to Fan Cunjie who was inserted behind without the slightest hesitation.

"Captain, why don't you go head-to-head with me?" Li Yongle said with a smile.

"It's a fool to fight you alone!" Zhao Defeng ran towards the goal, and Li Yongle followed his old captain inch by inch.

The duel between Fan Cunjie and Liu Peng surprised everyone, Fan Cunjie pulled the ball in front of him, then changed his feet and stepped on the ball and turned around, beautifully erasing Liu Peng, who was still stunned in place!

"Wow! Marseille slalom! Beautiful! Immediately there was a round of cheering.

"Liu Peng! You are still a professional player! Don't say I know you in the future! Yuan Gang also coaxed on the side.

"You die! Ape, you're not as good as me! ”

While talking and laughing, Fan Cunjie had already passed the football to the goal, but this ball was a high ball, and although Li Yongle was tall, he couldn't head the ball. The ball also had external spin, and Sima Hongxin didn't dare to attack, so the two had to watch the football fly over the area in front of the goal and fall straight behind. And Lin Ling, who passed the ball at the beginning, was just in place, he raised his left foot and volleyed directly from a small angle!

What a Sima Hongxin, a sideways block, a bend of his hands, and the ball will be caught in his arms in the future!

"Beautiful!"

"Great shot! Better! ”

There was a cheer.

Fan Cunjie patted Liu Peng, who was a little depressed beside him: "I will definitely not be able to pass you next time." He smiled and shook his head.

I don't know who was shouting, asking Zhang Jun, Yang Pan and Kaka to come up and kick twice, and they immediately got everyone's support. Zhang Jun looked at the two: "I have no opinion." ”

The other two also nodded: "The three of us haven't played together in two years, right?" ”

Zhang Jun had an idea, and he shouted loudly: "You guys play first, we'll be here soon!" With that, he picked up the two of them and ran towards the lounge.

"Hey, Zhang Jun, what are you doing?" Kaka was puzzled.

"Put your clothes on! Fast! Zhang Jun opened the door of the three's cabinet and pointed to the jersey inside.

Kaka was stunned, just like Zhang Jun did when he first saw this situation, because he saw the number 10 jersey he had worn in Shuguang for two and a half years......

"Quick, don't be stunned! Outsiders are still waiting! Zhang Jun has already changed his clothes and put on his jersey. Kaka then woke up like a dream and took off his T-shirt.

Yang Pan changed into a jersey, then looked at the red captain's armband in the cabinet, and finally brought it on his arm.

"The sneakers are in the shoe cabinet in the corner." Liang Ke appeared at the door again, "You can pick and choose for yourself to see if there is a suitable one." ”

※※※

When the three of them appeared in front of everyone wearing the Dawning jersey, they immediately caused a scream. They seemed to have really seen the all-conquering Dawn attack combination from a few years ago, but it was a pity that there was one person missing.

"It's on, it's on!" Someone can't wait.

"Wait!" Liu Peng signaled everyone not to worry. "The opponent is three professional players and at a high level. It's unfair that we only have two people to defend, and I'm asking for at least two more! Then, without waiting for their consent, he began to pull people from the crowd.

"Lin Xiaofang! Don't shrink back, give you a chance to compete with your seniors, come up! ”

Lin Xiaofang didn't know who pushed him from behind, so he rushed onto the field.

There is still one left, Liu Peng searched for a long time and did not find a suitable candidate, when he was looking east and west, Zhang Jun spoke: "Tu Yong!" Zhang Jun beckoned to a tall, thin man. Come and play football together! ”

Tu Yong, the No. 10 of Sunshine Middle School, has now graduated from a secondary school and has just found a job in a shopping mall, and he is very tired but fulfilling every day. Tu Yong looked at the people around him, and everyone made way for him, a road to the court.

Tu Yong smiled, then took off his shirt and threw it aside, and walked onto the court.

“ok！ Four people are enough, Lin Xiaofang and I play guards, and Li Yongle and Tu Yong are in front. It's time to get started! ”

With the addition of two people, the area of play was expanded to the entire half, and Zhang Jun started to serve and attack from the middle circle.

Kaka carries the ball in style. Why is it chic? Because he dribbles the ball and doesn't look at it, his head is held high, and his eyes are looking for people everywhere. But you think that you can cut off his ball, and you are very wrong.

Tu Yong wanted to take advantage of Kaka's opportunity to see Yang Pan to break the ball, but Kaka seemed to have eyes all over his body, he flicked his feet, and the football just avoided Tu Yong's interception. Then Kaka suddenly accelerated and overtook Tu Yong. The two are indeed no longer at the same level, and Kaka just plucked the ball very casually, and shook off the difficult Tu Yong in high school.

After Tu Yong's Kaka, he didn't continue to dribble the ball, in fact, now he may even go straight to Huanglong even if he continues to dribble, but everyone is playing with it, so it's too boring, right? So he chose to pass the ball, Yang Pan received the ball and advanced to the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area, while Kaka ran to the right side in the opposite direction and crossed positions!

"Watch out for his long-range shots!" Liu Peng ran back to the middle from the wing and loudly reminded his temporary teammates.

"Long shot! Long shot! Someone in the audience immediately shouted loudly with Liu Peng's voice, and he was really afraid that the world would not be chaotic......

But Yang Pan didn't want to shoot from distance, and when he dribbled laterally, he was also looking for opportunities to pass the ball into the box. But the defense in the penalty area made him unable to find a suitable opportunity, and Lin Xiaofang followed Yang Pan inch by inch, making it impossible for him to be easy.

Yang Pan had no choice but to pass the ball to Kaka, he didn't want to rely on speed to force Lin Xiaofang, that would be too tricky.

Kaka was still on the right and he didn't choose to pass, but went straight to the back post.

Zhang Jun raised his left foot, and Li Yongle, who was defending him, thought he was going to shoot, and hurriedly flew to block it. But Zhang Jun knocked the ball from behind to the right side of his body with his left heel, and Li Yongle pounced!

But Zhang Jun couldn't shoot yet, because Liu Peng's long legs had been stretched out, ready to destroy the ball.

I saw Zhang Jun hook the toe of his right foot, hooked the ball back to the left side from the top of his head, and at the same time quickly turned around, leaned back, fully stretched his body, and turned and volleyed with the back of his left foot to the goal!

Li Yongle was still lying on the ground and didn't get up, when he saw the football fly over him and then hit the net. And Sima Hongxin was blocked by Liu Peng, so he didn't know what was going on, and the ball went into the goal.

"What a beautiful volley!"

"It's worthy of Zhang Jun!"

Li Yongle was pulled up from the ground by Zhang Jun, "This time I was completely defeated." ”

"Don't say that, when you become a professional footballer, the outcome is still undecided! Such a contest has no reference value. ”

※※※

Zhang Jun recovered from the long memories, only to find that he had unconsciously walked to the football field again. He found that there was a person sitting in the stands, and he recognized it from afar, it was Chen Huafeng.

"You didn't go to the cafeteria?" Zhang Jun leaned up and asked him.

"The cafeteria is too hot, I'll come out and blow the wind."

Zhang Jun stretched out his hand, and he didn't feel the wind for a long time. He blew the ash from the cement stands and sat down next to Chen Huafeng. "You're still in high school football?"

"Hmm."

"Didn't want to cover professional football?"

Chen Huafeng looked at Zhang Jun, twisted his face back, and continued to look at the empty court. In the afterglow of the setting sun, several dormitory buildings to the west cast huge shadows, making the court somewhat illusory between light and shadow. "The first time I saw you play football here, then I worked as a reporter covering student football for five years. If I hadn't met you, I probably wouldn't have known what to do. Maybe I'll be covering professional football. There are pros and cons to being a journalist covering student football. It's a sure thing that the income isn't high, but I find pleasure in it. He seemed to be answering Zhang Jun's question, and as if he was talking to himself. Many of my colleagues have changed jobs, but I think youth football, especially student football, must always be paid attention to, right? If no one reports it, where will anyone pay attention? Hehe! I asked Liang Ke, he cultivated you and Yang Pan, as well as Kaka. As long as you are willing to take these things and go around preaching them and giving interviews. There must be a lot of professional teams coming to him, and the pay is definitely much higher than being a teacher. Why are you still guarding this place and not thinking about leaving, just like you just asked me. Guess how he answered? ”

Zhang Jun shook his head.

"He said he was a teacher first, a PE teacher and then a football coach." Chen Huafeng smiled, "Teaching and educating people is his vocation, and he would rather let these children play football happily for three years, and then choose the path they want to take, rather than rush to engage in professional football." And he really turned down all the reporters who asked to interview him when you were at your most popular......"

"You're lucky enough to play under him for three years." Chen Huafeng continued, "You ask me why I don't report on professional football that is more profitable, and my answer is the same as Liang Ke. ”

He stood up, patted the ash on his buttocks, looked at the sun that was about to sink between the high-rise buildings in the west, and said to Zhang Jun: "Let's go, go back to the cafeteria, it's time to eat!" ”

The two-hundred-watt headlights at the entrance of Shuguang Middle School were lit up, and the moths of the light kept flying under the lights. The door was slightly closed, and everyone on campus gathered in the cafeteria for dinner, and laughter and laughter kept coming.

Outside the school gate, there is a blackboard with red paper pasted on it, and two striking lines of block letters are written with a brush: Class reunion, no interviews!
