Chapter 7: What's wrong?
In Sunday's make-up match, the history department still defeated the opponent by a big score to reach the semi-finals, and Zhang Jun continued his hat-trick myth.
Sophie went to cheer on the game as usual, and Li Shuai stood beside her.
Zhang Jun saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just shot and scored.
But Sophie is a little strange, how could Li Shuai, who has never been interested in football, take the initiative to come to the scene to watch the game?
After the game, Zhang Jun ran out of the side door alone, many fans did not stop him, Yang Pan didn't think it was strange, he didn't entangle every time, no one could stand it, so it was better to hurry up and slip away.
Sophie was a little disappointed, she thought that Zhang Jun would come over to say a few words to her, but he ran away from the opposite direction, and Li Shuai said earnestly on the side: "I'll send you back, right?" Anyway, drop by! β
Sophie looked at him and nodded.
Lin Wei knew that Zhang Jun already had a girlfriend, but she didn't mind at all, she still worked hard, and now her chance has finally come! I don't know why, Zhang Jun seems to have a conflict with his girlfriend, and he hasn't been in a good mood recently.
Lin Wei stepped up her offensive, if what she saw at the moment was only a small crack, then now she hoped that through her own efforts, this house would collapse completely, and then she and Zhang Jun would build a new house on top of it.
However, Zhang Jun still seems to be wooden, and he can't see her thoughts at all, Lin Wei is a little angry and a little anxious, he really plays the piano to the cow!
This Wednesday, October 20th, the semi-finals of the Freshman Cup, Sophie's eighteen-year-old.
The weather is fine, the temperature is moderate, there is no wind, and it is a good weather no matter how you look at it.
Li Shuai didn't know how to find out about Sophie's life today, he went to the city center to buy a very big rogue rabbit, fluffy, very cute. When Li Shuai gave the rogue rabbit to Sophie, Sophie was a little surprised: "This is ......"
"Happy life! Today is your birthday, right? Hehe! Li Shuai said with a smile.
"How do you know?" Sophie was a little surprised and took the rogue rabbit in her arms. "It's huge!"
"Eighteen years old, an adult! Of course I want to give it away! β
"Thank you!" Sophie smiled at Li Shuai.
Li Shuai suddenly felt like he was flying, this girl laughed so beautifully! The ancients couldn't afford to smile, and a mere 100 yuan was worth the money!
Sophie is indeed very happy, because it is the first time that she has received such a "big" gift in her eighteen years of life. However, what she is looking forward to even more is the semi-finals of the Freshman Cup, which will start in a while, since the beginning of high school, as long as there are games around here and there are games around here, Zhang Jun will always use a hat trick as a gift. Although in the previous freshman cup, Zhang Jun's hat-trick was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, only the two of them knew which hat-trick was different and unique. This tacit understanding has been three years from the first year of high school to the third year of high school, although it is no longer like a cake that can not bring any surprises, but Sophie is still looking forward to the gift that touched her the most.
Zhang Jun is wiping his sneakers very carefully, and these sneakers will also shoulder a very, very important task today, and they must be taken care of.
Yes, there was a little problem between him and Sophie, but he never showed too obvious a move, and even his best brother Yang Pan didn't know about it.
He didn't understand why Sophie had changed since she entered university. Has the environment changed? There are indeed many people who are better than him in college, he doesn't study well, he is not handsome, he has no money, sometimes he is a little wooden, he doesn't know how to talk about it, and he doesn't have the advantages of attracting girls. Sophie is a very good girl, and there is no shortage of suitors, he knows that. It's just that the people at dawn are very simple, and he himself didn't expect this threat, and now that the environment has changed, it's normal for other better boys to appear, right? Perhaps, maybe I should try to change it myself, a little more rhetoric, a little more chic.
However, is he still Zhang Jun like that?
On Sunday, I went a little too far, and I actually threw Sophie alone in the crowd and ran away. Today is a great opportunity, Sophie's eighteen-year-old, and he knows what he should do.
Looking at the shiny leather feet that had been rubbed, Zhang Jun nodded with satisfaction. This expensive pair of Nike sneakers was bought in the second year of high school with the prize money of the national championship and all the pocket money of the two in Shanghai. For this pair of well-fitting and beautiful sneakers, Sophie accompanied him to run half of Shanghai to pick them, and after buying the shoes, the two had nothing left except for the car back to the hotel, and they couldn't even afford a scarf that Sophie fancied. But Sophie didn't say anything, she was just happy that Zhang Jun finally bought a pair of sneakers that suited her.
Yang Pan pushed the door and came inβhe had just changed his clothes: "Okay, hurry up!" The time is coming! He picked up Zhang Fan, who was still in bed, "I slept so long in a nap!" Aren't you afraid to sleepwalk on the field for a while? β
Zhang Fan muttered and sat up from the bed: "You can win by sleepwalking, what are you afraid of?" Wait a moment and watch me perform a hat--huh-yawn-" He didn't finish his sentence, yawned again, and fell back to the bed.
Hearing the hat trick, Yang Pan turned his head to look at Zhang Jun, who was still holding his shoes in a daze, this kid ...... Hey! He smiled and slapped Zhang Fan, who had just been lying down: "Hurry up!" Don't get up again in the finals! What did you do last night? β
"Dry ...... Dry Revolution! When Zhang Fan heard that he was not allowed to go to the finals, he hurriedly turned over and jumped out of bed, and put his jersey and pants on his body quickly.
Li Shuai heard that Sophie was going to watch the game, and he immediately agreed, saying that he would also go to see it. Li Shuai thought very well, he accompanied Sophie to watch the game, and showed that he was very happy and happy in front of his rival, which is enough to explain the problem. For the rest of the matter, Sophie and Zhang Jun fell out, and he completely took the initiative in his own hands.
When the two arrived at the stadium, the game was about to start, and the competition venue of the history department was full of people, Li Shuai took the lead in front, relying on his height of 1.87 meters, lined up everyone, and helped Sophie squeeze in.
Zhang Jun and Zhang Fan were standing in front of the ball and preparing to kick off, when he looked up and saw Sophie...... and the elated Li Shuai beside her. The referee blew a whistle, Zhang Fan waited for Zhang Jun to pass the ball, but Zhang Jun did not react, he touched Zhang Jun, and the ball was passed to his feet.
The race is on! The crowd erupted in cheers of excitement, and it was time to see another great game!
Sophie was also looking forward to it, but what she was expecting was different from what others were expecting.
There is no suspense about winning or losing the game, and the audience is only interested in how many goals the history department can score, how many goals Zhang Jun can score, and how many beautiful goals can be scored.
Zhang Fan came up to greatly meet the audience's expectations, he in front of the goal of a powerful lion swing head, the football smashed under the crossbar and bounced into the goal, although the goalkeeper struggled to save, but it was useless, 1:0!
The first ** was set off the sidelines.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Pan's corner kick was smashed into the net by Zhang Fan, 2:0!
Zhu Hui's somewhat weird free kick was blocked by the goalkeeper again, 3:0!
In the twenty-fifth minute of the first half, the history department took a 3-0 lead, and the start was as smooth as usual, with the only slight exception being that Zhang Jun has not scored so far.
Every time the history department scored a goal, Sophie cheered along with the others, always smiling and waiting for that moment to come.
Sure enough, five minutes later, Zhang Jun also made peace. He received Zhu Hui's direct pass, hit the goal directly, and the football hit the inside of the goal post and flew into the goal, 4:0!
This time, Sophie cheered harder than ever before, but Li Shuai smiled awkwardly, feeling very unhappy.
In the second half, Yang Pan's heavy artillery was powerful and blasted the ball into the opponent's goal in a position close to the midfield! 5οΌ0οΌ
What a hearty game! The viewers are all so impressed. However, Sophie was still looking forward to it, and with only twenty minutes left in the game, Zhang Jun scored a goal.
In the eighty-second minute, Zhang Jun got rid of the opponent's marking in the penalty area and easily made up Yang Pan's shot into the empty goal, 6:0!
Sophie was a little excited, and even though there were eight minutes to go until the end of the game, she had confidence in Zhang.
As the game passed minute by minute, Zhang Jun didn't seem to have much of a chance. At this time, when Yang Pan forcibly broke through from the side to the penalty area, he was tripped by the opposing defender, and the referee awarded a penalty without hesitation!
Yang Pan handed the ball to Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun was still one ball away, of course he had to help his good friend. This penalty was actually deliberately made by Yang Pan, of course, this is not to say that he faked a fall, Yang Pan just knew that he was sticking to the other party to break through, and if the other party wanted to stop him, there must be physical contact, and if the body was in contact, the possibility of foul play was very great, and sure enough, he finally won a penalty for Zhang Jun, which can be regarded as a gift for Sophie.
Seeing Zhang Jun put the ball on the penalty spot, Sophie became excited, she knew that Zhang Jun would never miss this ball no matter what.
"You seem excited!" Li Shuai pressed his face to Sophie's ear and asked.
"yes!" Sophie smiled at her and turned her head to pay attention to Zhang Jun again.
When Li Shuai twisted his face back, he smiled smugly at Zhang Jun, who was looking at him.
Zhang Jun retracted his gaze and stared at the goal not far away, and the goalkeeper had already posed on the goal line and was ready to fight.
The nine-a-side small field, the penalty area is also small, the penalty spot is too close to the goal, even if the goalkeeper waits for it, it is futile in Zhang Jun's opinion, and he has never missed a penalty. What's more, this distance of less than nine meters?
The penalty kick and the crowd fell silent.
Zhang Jun began to retreat.
The whistle sounds, he runs, kicks out, shoots!
The goalkeeper pounced to the right, but the ball flew high over the crossbar with a sigh!
Yang Pan looked at Zhang Jun's back in disbelief, it was the first time he saw Zhang Jun miss a penalty for so many years! Was it too much of a rush to score a hat-trick and was self-defeating?
Yang Pan turned her head to look at Sophie on the sidelines, Sophie's eyes widened, her hands covered her mouth, obviously she didn't believe the scene that had just happened. But when she saw Zhang Jun turn around expressionlessly and walk back to the midfield, she suddenly felt that the distance between herself and Zhang Jun was getting farther and farther away - he was not annoyed at all, regret, he did it on purpose!
Sophie doesn't know why, what happened to her and Jang Jun, why did Jang Jun do this? Did she do something wrong? Or what happened to Jang Jun? She knows that Zhang Jun has no shortage of suitors now, and there are also beauties in the history department......
She didn't know how the remaining minutes passed, she didn't know what the situation was like after the game, and she didn't even remember what Li Shuai said to her on the way back to the dormitory. In short, she returned to the dormitory in a daze and sat down on the bed, her mind still stuck at the moment when Zhang Jun deliberately shot the penalty.
She felt very aggrieved and didn't understand what she had done wrong, why Zhang Jun did this to her. Today is her birth, an eighteen-year-old adult. She expected to receive a long-awaited birthday gift, but she didn't expect it to end like this.
Zhang Jun is her first love, is it true that her first love is all for nostalgia? Is the price of Seongin saying goodbye to his first love? If this is the case, Sophie is not willing to accept such an outcome anyway. Why should something that happened a thousand times to someone else be repeated in her and Zhang Jun?
Yang Pan found that something was wrong, that penalty, judging from Zhang Jun's actions, he was deliberate. After the game, he ran away without saying a word, and he didn't even say hello to Sophie, which was too much to say.
Unable to catch Zhang Jun, he decided to go to Sophie to ask for an explanation. Recently, there have been a lot of things, busy training the freshman team, busy participating in the school team training, busy with the affairs of the class committee...... was so busy that he ignored Zhang Jun and Sophie. In his heart, these two people who are younger than him have not yet matured and need his care. Whether it is Sophie or Zhang Jun, they are all as simple as a blank piece of paper, without any impurities.
The phone rang, and Sophie wiped the corners of her rosy eyes and got up to answer the phone. "Hey, who are you looking for?" She tried to make her voice sound calmer.
"It's me, Yang Pan! Sophie, do you have something to do right now? There are some things I want to ask you, can you come down? I'm on your IC card phone downstairs right now. β
Sophie looked down from the window, and sure enough, she saw Yang Pan who was on the phone.
"Okay, I'll come down."
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
This is the first sentence Yang Pan said when he saw Sophie, and he was stunned when Sophie asked, what's wrong? She also wanted to know what happened to her and Zhang Jun. He distanced himself from her without saying a word, and she didn't even know what was going on.
"What's wrong?" Sophie muttered, "It's nothing, we're fine, it's good......"
"You're pretending!" Yang Pan interrupted Sophie's words, "What's the matter with Zhang Jun's penalty kick?" How to explain a person who slipped away without saying a word after the game? The two of you rarely even say hello now, and you say it's good? It's called very good......"
Yang Pan couldn't go on, because he saw Sophie burying her head lower and lower, and there was a trace of uneasiness in the air before the storm, Yang Pan regretted in his heart, what he just said was too heavy, Sophie is a girl after all, even if she is a friend for three years, she can't talk like that, and she is not a boy, so she blames herself for being too anxious......
Just when Yang Pan kept blaming himself, Sophie raised her head and squeezed out a smile: "It's really nothing, we ...... You're talking about small things, and we'll figure it out on our own. β
Yang Pan saw that the other party's tone was firm, and he knew that he couldn't ask anything more, so he had to shrug his shoulders: "Okay, this is a private matter between you, I shouldn't be nosy......"
"No!" Sophie thought Yang Pan was angry, and quickly explained: "Don't think like that, you are Zhang Jun's best friend and my best friend, and we have nothing to hide from you." It's just that this time there really isn't anything ......"
Yang Pan smiled: "Where do you want to go?" Am I the kind of person with a small belly? By the way, today is your birth, I'm a poor bastard, I have nothing to give you, so I have to say 'happy life'! Happy life, Sophie! You have to be happy in your life, don't be sad! I'm leaving, if Zhang Jun bullies you, tell me, I'll help you clean him up......" Yang Pan turned around and shook his head and left, "...... That fool who was born in the midst of blessings and didn't know how to be blessed......"
Sophie watched Yang Pan's back disappear around the corner of the dormitory building, this eldest brother who is older than her and Zhang Jun always keeps the matter of his best friend in his heart, he is so bothered about Zhang Jun's affairs, he is so old, but he doesn't even have a girlfriend. In his heart, football and friends are always tied for the first place, and as long as friends are happy, he will be happy......
"Thank you, big brother......"
Yang Pan kicked open the door of the dormitory, startling the people inside.
"Where's Zhang Jun?" He looked around the dormitory and didn't see Zhang Junren.
"He just finished taking a shower when he was called out by Lin Wei...... Zhang Fan said.
"Just the two of them?"
"yes, it's mysterious, and I don't know what to do." Zhang Fan stretched and jumped off the bed. "Let's eat, everyone!"
The other two stood up and walked towards the door, only Yang Pan was still standing.
"Aren't you going to eat?" As soon as Zhu Hui opened his mouth, he was pulled away by Zhang Fan.
The door was closed, and Yang Pan was the only one left in the room.
It turned out to be so! Why didn't you see it? Lin Wei always finds all kinds of excuses to get close to Zhang Juntao, the original purpose is here! She is indeed very beautiful, and she is also very lively and versatile...... It's a boy who will be tempted, right? If Zhang Jun, this bastard, can't hold it...... This possibility is entirely there!
Yang Pan slammed his fist on the table and rushed out of the dormitory.
