At the end of April, Los Angeles fell into a rainy day, half a month of rain made Li Huan very gloomy, he had completed the operation in the private hospital of the surgeon Mr. Steadman, it has been two months, in Mr. Steedman's words, Li Huan's recovery speed is a miracle, now he can throw away his crutches and walk on his own, but he can't use force, after being able to walk, Li Huan originally wanted to go to the sunny Gold Coast to bask in the sun, but now he can only nest in the ward and watch TV on the Internet.

Steadman's clinic is near the Staples Sports Center, home of the Lakers, where Li Huan sees and hears news and gossip about the NBA, baseball, Hollywood, and football news is very sporadic, mainly about the World Cup in Germany and the LA Galaxy. Even La Liga, the Premier League is rarely heard, let alone the German B, Li Huan's news about the German B is known from the Internet and from friends, the German B has now settled, Karlsruhe was demoralized after losing him, plus Federico was in average condition after returning from injury, and now coupled with the debt crisis, it finally collapsed after leading for most of the season, and finally only finished sixth in the league, missing the opportunity to be promoted to the Bundesliga.

This news made Li Huan very painful and helpless, he couldn't do anything, God played this joke on him, he had no way to change this fact, although his joining made Karlsruhe's strength greatly boosted, but in the end history did not change because of him, Karlsruhe was not upgraded in the end. But another team that has undergone some changes because of him has now gone on a different trajectory than it has ever been, with Hoffenheim successfully qualifying for the Bundesliga under Rangnick.

Li Huan turned off the TV and turned on his laptop, which was another channel for him to contact Germany and China, and Steadman specially installed an Internet cable for him in the hospital room. After boarding QQ, Li Jing's greetings came from time to time, Li Huan spent most of his day doing passive and painless full-range activities, straight leg lifts, pararous tendon stretching and other recovery exercises, most of the time on the Internet was used to answer women's messages, and a small part was used to browse the news and watch movies.

Li Huan saw that it was still the same sentence that had not changed for thousands of years, "Are you feeling better now?" I couldn't help but replied: "Jingjing, you can't change a question, my ears are calloused." ”

Li Jing turned on the headset and said, "Why, I'm tired of hearing it, you won't let me see you, won't you even let me ask?" I would like to know how you are recovering every day. ”

Li Huan sighed: "If you ask once a day, the ligaments can't grow so fast like leeks." However, now that I am able to walk normally, I just don't dare to exert myself. ”

Li Jing said happily when he heard this: "Really, great, I can participate in the competition at the above time?" ”

"It's only been two months, and I haven't even done half-speed practice yet. I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? I'm happy to live in the stronghold of capitalism. Li Huan didn't care about the way, in fact, it was not as easy as he said, the recovery process was simple and boring, and it was very painful, it was definitely a process of honing and testing people's will. This time, Li Huan finally understood Su Shi's sentence, "Those who set up great things in ancient times not only have supernatural talents, but also have perseverance." "Without perseverance, it is difficult for the average person to withstand this pain.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, recover patiently, I believe you will be able to succeed. Your team failed to win the league, don't be sad, come back next year, you're still young. Although Li Jing is only two years older than Li Huan, and when she gets along with Li Huan, Li Huan always treats her as a little girl, but after Li Huan was injured, she almost coaxed and cared about Li Huan as a child.

"I'm still young, I'm 22 years old this year." Li Huan smiled bitterly, he remembered Messi and Ronaldo, Messi had already won the World Footballer and European Footballer at the age of 22, although Ronaldo was a little older, he also reached the pinnacle of world football at the age of 24.

"Is 22 still old? In China, 22 years old is still a child. Li Jing said with a grin.

At this time, the doorbell of the ward rang, Li Huan opened the door, and a nurse came in and said, "There is a gentleman named Dimatt who has come to visit you, Mr. Li Huan, do you see it or not?" ”

Because Li Huan lives in a VIP ward, anyone who visits a patient must obtain Li Huan's consent before entering, Li Huan didn't remember who Mr. Dimatt was, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "Let him come in." ”

When Mr. Dimatt appeared at the door of the ward, Li Huan was taken aback, and then remembered that Dimatt was Hope's name, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "It's really rude that Mr. Hope's arrival, I didn't go out to greet him just now." ”

Hope hurriedly put aside the flowers in his hand, held Li Huan's arm and said, "Mr. Li Huan, you are injured, don't be polite." Let's sit down and talk. ”

Li Huan smiled: "It's okay, it's much better now." ”

Hope looked Li Huan up and down and said, "It's really good, I look good." Hehe, in fact, I have wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I haven't found the time, so I have been delaying until now. ”

Li Huan said: "It's really scary for Mr. Hope to come to visit a nobody like me. ”

Hope saw that Li Huan became more and more polite the more he spoke, and blamed himself: "It's me who is not good, and a fast person like Mr. Li Huan is so polite, isn't it more and more rusty to talk like this?" Mr. Li Huan is a fast talker, I often read your interviews and speeches, today we will not say so many polite words that make people angry, just say a little truth. ”

Li Huan hurriedly said: "Mr. Hope, what are you talking about, you are highly respected, and you should be respected by juniors like me." ”

Hope laughed, "You should congratulate me." ”

Li Huan immediately reacted and said, "Hehe, Mr. Hope didn't say that I almost forgot, congratulations to Mr. Hope for leading Hoffenheim to rush to the German Second Division." ”

Hope sat down on a mahogany chair and said, "You're wrong, it's not that I lead, I didn't play any role, or I took out a few dollars, mainly because of Coach Rangnick, in fact, I want to thank you." ”

Li Huan was stunned, "Thank you?" ”

"Yes, that's right, if you hadn't beaten my village 7-0 in the German Cup, I wouldn't have the determination to change the coach later, I was going to give Flick a chance for a year." Hope said with a smile.

"I see, then I deserve this thank you. It's just a pity that we didn't make it to the Bundesliga this year. Li Huan said gloomily.

'For me I'm glad you didn't make it to the Bundesliga because it gave me the opportunity to get you. Hope said bluntly.

Li Huan said lightly: "What Mr. Hope wants is me before the injury." ”

Hope shook his head and said, "No, it's Li Huan now." Mr. Li Huan, don't forget the promise you made to me before you came to the United States. ”

"My promise, what did I promise?" Li Huan said puzzled.

"Didn't you come to the U.S. and ask Mr. Watts to tell me that if Karlsruhe can't be upgraded, you're going to consider moving to Hoffenheim?"

Li Huan suddenly said, "Mr. Hope, is this called a promise?" You scared me, I just said I thought about it, I didn't say I had to move to Hoffenheim. “

Hope said firmly: "What I want is to consider, now that Karlsruhe has decided to stay in the Bundesliga, can you consider Hoffenheim now?" ”

Li Huan looked at the billionaire with assets of six billion euros playfully, and said, "Mr. Hope, are you really going to buy me?" You are not afraid that after I recover from injury, there is a big gap between me and the original, many people have a big drop in level after cruciate ligament surgery, and it is easy to recur. ”

Hope looked at Li Huan with a serious expression, and said: "Li Huan, I'm sorry for you to ask like this, today I came from Germany to see you, I didn't come before, because Karlsruhe has not yet determined that it cannot be upgraded, I respect your words, but now you should not doubt the sincerity of an old man." The people who were able to invite three times in person like this, except for Ralph. Coach Rangnick is you. I've thought about what you're talking about, and even if you don't have the explosiveness and speed you used to have after you recover from your injury, that free-kick alone is worth buying. ”

Li Huan was solemn and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hope, I said something wrong, I shouldn't doubt your sincerity, since you are also a fast talker, I will also tell you my sincerity, there are two prerequisites that you need to do, and if you do it, I will let my agent talk to you about the specific matters of transferring to Hoffenheim." ”

Hope said in surprise: "You say, I listen, I will do my best to meet your requirements, what I am most worried about is that you have no conditions." ”

"One, the Karlsruhe club has been kind to me, if they don't want me to transfer, I will still choose to stay in Karlsruhe, and I will not put any pressure on Karlsruhe about the transfer. Two, I want to be with Ralph. Coach Rangnick talks about whether I can find out if I can be a regular in his team. Li Huan calmly put forward his own conditions.

When Hope heard this, he agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I promise your conditions." I'm going to convince William and Thaler, I think they must be tempted to get you out now, they're worried about the money right now. I'll send Ralph to Los Angeles tomorrow. I've talked to Ralph about you many times and Ralph has always said that you are the most promising young player in the German league. You'll only have to get halfway back to Ralph. “

Li Huan said: Okay, that's a word,
