Sophie suddenly found herself a celebrity, no matter where she went, there would be countless pairs of eyes staring at her, and people were judging her behind her back, maybe because she filmed an advertisement with Zhang Jun, Sophie didn't care.

But the next day, when Sophie and her roommates were about to go shopping, she sensed something was wrong. Because she saw reporters, a lot of reporters, more reporters than when she was shooting commercials at school.

Journalists from all over the country gathered at the school gates, all of them barred from the school by dutiful security guards. As soon as Sophie came out, these reporters became excited as if they had seen a bloody wolf.

"May I ask Sophie, when did your relationship with Zhang Jun begin?"

"Sophie, is everything in the newspaper true? Are you really neighbors with Jang Jun since high school? ”

"Sophie......"

Sophie and her roommates were stunned and stood still, bewildered. And the reporters are pressing hard. Seeing this, several security guards of the school hurriedly stepped forward to stop the reporters: "Please be quiet, this is the school!" ”

Sophie hurriedly retreated to the school, but the reporters still squeezed inside, trying to break through the security blockade. Three security guards were not enough to stop dozens of reporters. "Close the school gates! School gates closed! ”

Looking at Sophie's back as she drifted away, an unwilling reporter shouted: "Sophie! After your relationship with Zhang Jun was exposed, did it have any impact on your life? ”

Haven't you seen the impact of this stupid person?

※※※

The impact of this sudden incident on Sophie was long-lasting. She found herself watching like zoo animals everywhere she went, and she had to beware of reporters disguised as students, who avoided anyone with a camera. But she never knew how her relationship with Zhang Jun was exposed.

It wasn't until one day that her kind roommate bought a newspaper for her from outside and saw the photo of her and Zhang Jun hugging on it, that she understood.

It was that "accidental" hug in my sophomore year of high school.

It was raining that day, and he met a powerful opponent and a powerful black whistle, but Zhang Jun promised to use a hat trick to express his heart. Zhang Jun did it, and this hug was the one he came all the way after scoring three goals. In the end, was it the hat trick or the hug? That year, month, and year hugged ......

Wait, Sophie. It doesn't seem like this is the time for nostalgia, right?

How did such a set of photos get into the hands of these journalists? Sophie then had time to look at the name of the newspaper: "Hefei New Newspaper". This font is really similar to "Xin'an Evening News", and at first glance it is a tabloid that specializes in playing side balls! Let's take a look at the author of the article: "Huang Deren".

Huang Deren?

Huang Deren!

Sophie was taken aback by what she had discovered. Huang Deren was actually written by someone she called "Brother Ren"!

……

"Don't worry, who am I, Huang Deren? If you swear it, you will do what you say. Well, Miss Sophie, don't worry, I'm not a journalist...... My name is Huang Deren, ho ho! ”

……

"Mr. Huang Deren?"

"Hehe, it's okay to call me Brother Ren, don't be so polite!"

"Why is Brother Ren here?"

"I heard that you were filming, so I came over to take a look. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and it's still a city! ”

……

Sophie hurriedly went to other pages to find news about her filming in Hefei, and sure enough, she saw the following paragraph: "...... When the reporter of this newspaper interviewed Sophie during the interval between the commercials, although she was very tired, she still accepted the interview with this newspaper very cooperatively...... When the relationship between her and Zhang Jun was mentioned, Sophie was a little shy, but she still revealed to this reporter that this time she was accidentally fancied to appear in this advertisement, which deepened the relationship with Zhang Jun. Because they never want to be disturbed by the media, the two of them are very low-key and only dare to indulge in advertising......"

Falsehood! It's all a lie!

It was really "business" for him to go to Luoyang, and he took him to Zhuanlongmen and took a photo with him...... Group photo?

Sophie saw the group photo in the lower corner again, and there was a line of small text under the photo: "The reporter of this article took a photo with Sophie." "Because it's printed in color, and it's a close-up shot, it's very clear.

Sophie has a very strong sense of being deceived, and the person she has always regarded as a friend will always lie to her and trap her! She didn't know anything, and she was betrayed!

She wanted to cry. I have always been kind to everyone around me and treat them as friends. Or is it the first time you have met such a person, so painstakingly approaching yourself just for this day? What is Sophie in the eyes of these journalists? A gold mine? Do you want to rely on the relationship between her and Zhang Jun to get promoted and make a fortune and gain fame and fortune? When she thought of the group of reporters outside the school gate and the rumors about her on the newspapers and the Internet, she felt scared. Zhang Jun is a star, and Sophie does love Zhang Jun, what is this? Why should it be known to the world? Sophie just wants to enjoy a happy and simple life in the four years of college, why can't even this most ordinary wish come true?

Sophie didn't understand how much effort the major media had spent in order to compete for eyeballs. Finally encountered such a big event, how can you easily let it go? It's time for the attention economy.

It's just that, in this day and age, there are bound to be people who fall prey to satisfying the curiosity of the public, even if the protagonists of the story themselves don't want to.

※※※

Zhang Jun came down from the training ground sweaty, and there were many Chinese reporters outside the barbed wire fence on the sidelines. He's used to it. Because of the recent miraculous performance, the number of journalists is still increasing.

Zhang Jun politely smiled at the reporters. It's not easy for everyone to live in a foreign country, so why bother to show each other's faces? So Zhang Jun has always been very friendly to reporters, although he doesn't talk much, but a smile should explain everything, right?

When the reporters saw Zhang Jun looking at them, they immediately shouted: "Zhang Jun, some domestic media said that Sophie, who filmed the advertisement with you, is it true that your childhood sweetheart?" ”

"Yes, yes! Let us know what you think! ”

"It is said that Sophie is not only with you in college, but also in high school, but also neighbors! Is there such a thing? ”

Zhang Jun stood still and looked at the reporters in surprise. How do they know about Sophie's relationship with him? Who leaked these things?

"Please send me a message!"

"Even if you have a photo, do you want to hide it anymore?"

……

Zhang Jun found that it was only for a moment, and the distance between him and these reporters had widened to infinity, even though in reality the two were separated by a row of barbed wire. He couldn't hear what they were saying, or he didn't want to hear it.

Sophie was exposed, and they all knew Sophie's identity, so ...... Zhang Jun looked at the reporters in front of him, all of them were distorted and deformed, with horns on their heads, pointed ears, and misplaced facial features...... Is that the kind of people Sophie has to face?

Zhang Jun wanted to reach out and take out his mobile phone, but he couldn't find it after touching it for a long time, so he suddenly woke up to the fact that he was still on the training ground, where did he get his mobile phone?

Although Kozel, who passed by Zhang Jun, could not understand what a group of Chinese reporters were shouting, he felt that something was wrong with Zhang Jun. He stepped forward to pull Zhang Jun: "What's wrong with you?" What happened? ”

Zhang Jun looked at Kozel's concerned eyes, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing...... and then ignored the reporters at all, and walked towards the locker room with Kozel.

"Hey! Zhang Jun! Say a word! ”

"Zhang Jun, is Sophie your girlfriend!"

"Don't go! Zhang Jun! ”

……

Huang Deren looked at the freshly printed newspaper in his own office, and in this issue he "exclusively revealed" the story of Zhang Jun and Sophie in high school. The market response in the first two issues was very good, and the president was so happy that he not only immediately turned him positive, but also assigned him a separate office and increased his salary. My original choice was right, haha! He lit a cigarette for himself.

The phone rang, and he picked it up only to hear a familiar voice.

"Hey, is it Huang Deren?"

"Yes, it's me."

"I'm Li Yan, 'long time no see'!"

"Hah! Really, we haven't been in touch for a long time. Is there anything you want me to do? You're running between the Netherlands and Italy right now, right? ”

"It's none of your business." Li Yan's tone was cold, "Let me ask you, did you poke out the matter between Sophie and Zhang Jun?" ”

Huang Deren was stunned for a moment: "It's me...... right"

"Why would you do that?"

"Huh?"

"Answer me, why did you do that?!"

"Humph! Is it here to ask the teacher about sin? ”

"Answer me!"

Huang Deren took the phone a little farther away: "Why? If you are allowed to make a fortune by discovering Zhang Jun and Yang Pan to become famous, will I not be allowed to discover Sophie? ”

"But you swore you wouldn't tell me about it!" Li Yan was a little angry, did he forget the oath he had made so quickly?

"Swear? Oh yes, I forgot if you didn't say it, haha! Huang Deren spat out a smoke ring and laughed.

"You ......"

"What am I? Swearing this thing was originally used to regret later. You're so naïve, Li Yan. Have you just graduated from college? In this society, if you want to get ahead, what can't you do? There are still people who break the law and discipline every day, but what is the violation of an oath? ”

"But you've hurt two innocent people! Tainted a pure relationship! Li Yan roared.

"Oh, I'm so impressed! ! What a meaty line, don't you get goosebumps when you say that? The two of them are my! I only know that I have now changed my salary in the newspaper and increased my salary, which is the most realistic. As for what pure feelings, it's just a piece of shit! Feelings are tainted every day in this world, can you manage it? ”

"Fuck you! Huang Deren! ”

"It doesn't matter, my mom died when I was in college. If you're willing to, do you want me to take you to her old man's grave? ”

※※※

Li Yan slammed the mobile phone in his hand against the wall, and the mobile phone fell into a pile of parts on the carpet. But he immediately rushed towards the pile of parts, and hurriedly put it together again, and it was still usable when he turned it on! Nokia's phone is really sturdy......

"Hello? Zhang Jun? I'll go to you now, and you'll wait for me. I have something for you, don't go! ”

※※※

Huang Deren heard a screeching sound from his phone, and then he didn't react again. He smiled and hung up his phone and lit a cigarette for himself again. I took a comfortable breath: "Either adapt to this society, or be eliminated by this society." Li Yan, let's see who gets eliminated first......"

※※※

"That's how it happened...... I didn't expect that bastard to keep such a hand. But I shouldn't have told him who Sophie was, I ......"

Zhang Jun sighed, he didn't know what to say now. It came so suddenly that he wasn't mentally prepared at all. Li Yan chattered beside him for a long time, he didn't listen to a word, and his thoughts seemed to be stuck at the moment when he heard the news in the afternoon. The sun is poisonous, there is no wind, it is sultry, and it is noisy around......

Li Yan saw that Zhang Jun sighed and said nothing else, knowing that Zhang Jun's mind was not on his words at all, so he had to stand up and say goodbye: "Don't think too much, I will try my best to help you settle it out with the media." You have to concentrate on playing tomorrow's game, which is a tough battle against Genke, the opponent of the UEFA Cup! I'm leaving, you can rest early! ”

※※※

It's a tough battle!

Sophie: Zhang Jun's real girlfriend! "Warrendam lost away to Genke and got through the danger. "Zhang Jun played abnormally and left halfway! 》……

As Li Yan said, it was a tough battle to challenge the Genke team away. The Belgians relied on home advantage and hoped to wash away the shame of 0:4 away. And Warrendam played too relaxed because of the four goals in hand, so that after being scored by the opponent at the beginning of the first half, he couldn't be nervous! Zhang Jun is inexplicably in poor condition, and seems to have forgotten to bring shooting boots, which is almost like Zhang Jun who scored a hat trick at home.

In the seventeenth and thirtieth minutes of the first half, Warrendam's goal was lost twice, and the score was pulled to 3:4 by the tenacious Genke team, and the two sides were only one goal away!

Adrianse had no choice but to replace Zhang Jun, who was sleepwalking, with a defender, trying to keep the ball. In the end, near the end of the second half, Hena seized the opportunity of the opponent to press for an equalizer and the defense was too empty, and scored a decisive goal, completely crushing the last hope of the Genke team to turn the tables at home.

Warrendam advanced to the second round of the League Cup with an aggregate score of 5-3.

※※※

"Zhang Jun, Kaka and I both know about Sophie. You want to drive a little, it's not a big deal. Anyway, now that the reporter is becoming more and more powerful, the matter between you and Sophie will be poked out sooner or later, so it's better for him to adapt to the situation as soon as possible. As soon as Yang Pan's training was over, he called Zhang Jun in the locker room, although they didn't live together, he still had to be responsible as a big brother. Zhang Jun's surname is a bit like "the toilet bowl is not opened - stuffy", someone needs to enlighten and enlighten, and he will play the hoop that leads to the toilet.

"Even you know?"

"Nonsense! This is currently the hottest news in Chinese football. The love affair of the popular star is revealed! Ha ha! Yang Pan wanted to use a joking way to evacuate Zhang Jun's depression.

“…… Then there must be ...... in China," Zhang Jun didn't seem to hear Yang Pan's words just now.

"Hey, Zhang Jun! Don't think about it so much, all you have to do now is to perform well on the pitch...... As for the bullshit reporter and the bullshit newspaper, Kaka and I won't be doing any interviews with them. ”

"Okay, I'll do a good job......"

Yang Pan sighed: "Give Sophie a call, now she needs you." Yang Pan's subtext is: You need her too.

※※※

For all classes today, Sophie took all the leave, and she stayed quietly in the dormitory alone, looking at the quiet campus. As more and more media outlets cover her, Sophie faces an increasingly chaotic situation, and wherever she goes, she immediately becomes the center of attention. Some even asked for autographs or group photos. She also rejected all the plans to go out sketching with Mr. Zhou, she didn't dare to go anywhere, she was like an animal in a zoo, in order to satisfy people's desire to snoop, and became an exhibit.

She even thought about dropping out.

The phone rang, revealing that it was Zhang Jun calling. Zhang Jun must also know, otherwise he would not have played abnormally in the second leg of the League Cup.

"Sophie, it's me Zhang Jun!" Zhang Jun's voice was anxious.

“……”

"Sophie, Sophie! What happened to you? Speak! ”

Sophie wiped her eyes: "I'm listening, Zhang Jun." ”

"Are you alright?"

"No...... All is well. ”

"I know it all, Sophie. Those journalists are so disgusting...... Or you should drop out! Drop out of the Netherlands and we're together! ”

Sophie was stunned for a moment and dropped out? Yes, get rid of these troubles and go to your beloved, in that case, they won't be afraid of any storms, right?

"Okay, Sophie?"

Sophie shook her head: "No, I don't drop out. ”

Sophie's answer surprised Zhang Jun: "Why? Why not drop out? ”

"Zhang Jun, I thought about dropping out, and then going to the Netherlands, to you. But now I realize that I was too cowardly to do that. Sophie whispered, soft, but powerful. Zhang Jun is a star, since Sophie loves Zhang Jun, she must face the current situation, right? Zhang Jun faced reporters, pressure, loneliness, and all difficulties in the Netherlands alone in the face of a blocked transfer, but persevered, and also achieved success. Compared to Zhang Jun, Sophie is too weak. ”

Zhang Jun listened quietly, and the gap between space and time disappeared. Sophie was right in front of him, with her back to her, standing at the window, looking out at the red glow outside, and the glow set a golden rim on her, dazzling.

"Such a Sophie can't match the current Zhang Jun. So I also have to be strong and learn to face all this alone. Really, I will no longer be afraid of facing many reporters, nor will I be afraid of other people's curious eyes, because Zhang Jun, who is alone in a foreign country, is even harder than Sophie! ”

"There are still two years left in college, and maybe we'll all be separated for a long time. Since high school, Sophie has been accustomed to having Zhang Jun by her side, and now Sophie should also learn to live without Zhang Jun by her side. Sophie didn't know what was waiting in front of her, but Sophie wouldn't be afraid. Because Zhang Jun loves Sophie, Sophie also loves Zhang Jun, more than anyone else! ”

Zhang Jun felt that there were two lines of warm wetness on his face, but there was a clear smile on the corner of his mouth. "I see, thank you, Sophie."

Since high school, I have been accustomed to having Sophie by my side, and now it is time to learn to live without Sophie by my side. Behind the crazy goal is a lonely and fragile heart, which hurts so much that he can't sleep in the dead of night. Who is such a strong self?

Sophie is a girl, she has to face the reality bravely. Should I be brave enough to face loneliness, the media, expectations, and the future?

That's why I say, thank you, Sophie! You are such an empathetic and beautiful girl, what is it about me that attracts you? Since you love Zhang Jun so much, Zhang Jun must also redouble his efforts and strive to make himself worthy of you forever.

The glow of the setting sun shines through the trees, the sky is purple, the clouds are golden, the dark woods and the spires of the church in the distance...... Zhang Jun suddenly found that it had been a month since he returned to Warrendam, and for the first time, he was in the mood to appreciate everything around him.

……

Loneliness, of course, there is a little bit of you're not by my side, I always miss your face, distance is an exam paper, measure the oath of love, will it be realized in the end, we are still learning the language of communication, learning to understand, learning not to shed tears, and so on until we learn to fly through the night and the test, we are going to graduate from loneliness, we use a little more hard work to exchange a little more happiness, even if happiness is still a way to go, and we learn to endure and give, this love will have a certificate to prove that it will not be lonely from now on......

(Stefanie Sun, "Certificate of Love")

※※※

Wu Wei took the newspaper and muttered to himself: "No wonder you refuse to tell me who he is......" As soon as he let go of his hand, the newspaper was blown to the ground by the wind, and he rolled a few times, not knowing where it went.

※※※

The next day, Zhang Jun published a letter to the media, publicly admitting that Sophie, who is now studying at US University in Hefei, is his girlfriend and the two are engaged. But he pleaded with the reporters to give Sophie a relaxed environment so that she could finish college smoothly. "I know you're going to rely on this to get eyeballs, but Sophie is just an ordinary college student. Shouldn't her life be full of flashing lights and microphones, right? ”

Finally, Zhang Jun announced that he would never accept any more interviews with Hefei Xinbao and Huang Deren personally. Not only him, but also Yang Pan and Kaka also hoped that the media would be merciful to Sophie's subordinates in an interview with reporters, and refused to accept any interviews with Hefei New Daily.

In Yang Pan's private words to Li Yan: "I want that bastard to know how many people he has offended!" ”

And Li Yan was not idle, he once again published a commentator's article in the "Sports Weekly", criticizing the impetuousness of the sports media, and even "not letting go of a college girl". Sports journalists should have time to cover more sports news and contribute to Chinese football, rather than showing extraordinary attention to a player's girlfriend like the paparazzi.

Two days later, Zhang Jun scored a goal in the fourth round of the Dutch league to help the team beat Breda 2-1 at home and continue to occupy the top spot in the league. And he himself rose to the top of the league scorer list with five goals.

I really don't know how long this Zhang's storm will blow in the Netherlands.
