In the next time, as long as no one asked for wine, Chu Zhongtian stood behind the bar and played with a one-pound coin in his hand. He kept bouncing up and catching the coin, his eyes fixed on the coins flying in the air, and the queen's head and number flashed alternately.

The distant past flashed back before his eyes.

The obverse of the coin.

"Every day, do you like to play football?" Dad leaned down and asked himself.

The young Chu Zhongtian nodded.

Dad had a happy smile on his face: "Then Dad will take you to learn to play football, okay?" ”

"Good!" The crisp children's voices still seem to be ringing in my ears.

The reverse side of the coin.

"I tell you, your task today is not to hit the door. Today, my request to you is to hit the door frame. It's harder to hit the frame than it is to hit the inside, and that's how I want to train you to shoot accurately. "That's what the coach did at half-time. Everyone was surprised when they heard about it, but they didn't say anything, they were used to following the manager's orders.

What made Chu Zhongtian feel strange was that he couldn't see what the coach's face looked like, and he couldn't even remember his last name. That face has no facial features, nothing, like a whiteboard in mahjong.

"Let me emphasize to you, if anyone scores a goal, not only will there be no bonus, but there will also be a fine!" Finally, the whiteboard coach said sternly.

The rest of the teammates were playing cautiously for fear of accidentally scoring a goal. But Chu Zhongtian was not convinced: the opponent is weak, and we should have won this game, why release the water? In the 71st minute, he rushed into the box and smashed a corner kick from his teammate into the opponent's goal. He celebrated indulgently after the goal, not seeing the manager's somber face in the slightest.

Front.

"Which one made you score? Which one made you score? You melon baby! Usually corner kicks don't see you so active, what are you pretending to be weird to Lao Tzu today?! The whiteboard coach roared angrily, he had just smashed a chair next to him.

Chu Zhongtian stood opposite the angry coach, stiffened his neck, and stopped his chest without saying a word. The teammates next to him watched the scene in fear, and some of them had gloating looks in their eyes.

"From now on, you don't want to play!!" After scolding angrily, the coach shook off the cruel words and turned away, and he didn't forget to kick over a few bottles of mineral water at his feet.

Reverse side.

"Dropping out? Yes, since you don't play football anymore, you don't need to get a participation card, right? The whiteboard coach said to his dad indifferently. If you change schools, let the other party pay for them. I won't talk nonsense, 300,000, if you can get it, you will release it to the participation card, and if you can't get it, don't think about it. ”

Dad was going to transfer himself to another soccer school, and he had already contacted him. It is said that the credibility and reputation of the school are very good. But when they returned to the football school to get their participation cards back, they were so troubled by the other party.

"Do you really think your son is a genius child? I'm telling you, if it weren't for the benefits you gave, your son would have been able to play on my team with the level of his son, who is good for nothing but running......"

"Bang!"

Chu Zhongtian watched in surprise as his father, who had always been mild-tempered, punched the chattering coach in the face, and a trace of blood rushed out with the coach's body back......

Front.

"The card was withheld by that coach, even if it was transferred to another football school...... If you don't have a participation certificate, you can't play......" Although several years have passed, Chu Zhongtian still clearly remembers the helplessness in his father's deep voice that day. "If you reapply for the participation card, you need to change your account ......"

"Change your account? No way! Absolutely not! Mom shook her head vigorously. If you can't go to school if you don't do it, it's not too small every day, so it's better to go to college! I have long said that there is no future in football, what is the result of spending so much money? ”

Chu Zhongtian just buried his head in eating, and his chopsticks moved quickly, but not a single grain of rice entered his mouth that was clenched tightly.

After a moment of silence, Dad sighed: "Oh my God, let's not play football anymore." Go to school, go to high school, go to college......"

Chu Zhongtian buried his face in the rice bowl and nodded vigorously.

Reverse side.

Wimbledon School of Art accepted letters were placed in front of the parents, and both mom and dad had a relieved smile on their faces.

"If you study in the UK, the tuition fees and living expenses are ......," Chu Zhongtian looked at his parents and whispered.

"That's fine!" Dad waved his hand. "I still have some savings at home. It's a big deal, let's save some money at home, and I'm going to send you to the UK! It is your ability to be admitted to a school in the UK, and you don't need to think about money, so don't worry about it, relax and relax these days. ”

"I'll just say that my son has an artistic element!" Mom was praising herself happily next to her. "You can tell from the pictures he painted!"

Front.

The coin fell on the bar counter, making a trembling sound, pulling Chu Zhongtian out of his past memories.

He looked at the coins that had fallen on the table, with the Queen's side facing up.

"Do you like to play football?"

"Do you have ideals?"

"I think you're playing well, so why don't you try it?"

Emily's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Chu Zhongtian raised his head suddenly, from the front of him to the door of the bar, empty.

※※※

After that, Emily really didn't come to the Dons Bar again, and Chu Zhongtian never saw the blonde girl again, and his life finally returned to calm and returned to the right track he expected. But for some reason, Chu Zhongtian began to look forward to seeing Emily again. Here's how he explained himself - Emily Stan was a beauty, and the kind of beauty that was outstandingly beautiful, and he was a healthy man, and he wanted to see beautiful women for normal thoughts, and for no other reason......

He said this to himself over and over again in his mind, trying to convince himself that it was true. It's just that why he did it, he didn't think about it.

Three days later, when Chu Zhongtian went to deliver orders, he found that there were more eye-catching posters along the road.

"No club based in Milton Keynes can represent the 113-year-old Wimbledon football!"

In the background was a large crest, different from the yellow and blue Wimbledon crest he was familiar with. It's a white crest, and in the middle it's the same two-headed bird as the moving club, but in a different color, it's a black two-headed bird with a red beak and claws.

Obviously, this-for-tat design is the emblem of the new Wimbledon club.

There is also a line of small print underneath.

Originally, Chu Zhongtian should have run over directly, but he didn't know why, he took a step forward and leaned in, wanting to see what was going on.

"AFC Wimbledon, the only one that can represent the 113th year tradition of Wimbledon football, is officially established! Welcome to the trial ......"

Here's where and when the tryouts are available.

"Chu!"

A surprise voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Chu Zhongtian turned his head and saw Emily's beautiful and happy face.

"Ah...... Belch...... I was just passing by......" Chu Zhongtian was a little at a loss by Emily's sudden appearance, and didn't know what to say. Then he looked at Emily, hoping that the other party would believe his words, but in fact he didn't believe it himself.

Today's Emily has tied up her long blonde hair, a ponytail hanging down the back of her head, and a peaked cap, and the whole person looks very sporty. Chu Zhongtian noticed that today Emily was wearing a blue T-shirt with yellow stripes on the sleeves and "wimbledon_till_i_die" written on her chest (Wimbledon, until death).

Emily found that Chu Zhongtian was looking at her chest, and when she looked down, she found the sentence above.

She didn't care why Chu Zhongtian appeared here, she pointed to the sentence on her chest and said, "This is the clothes from two years ago. That's a phrase in the hands of every Wimbledon fan at the time, and then we printed it on our T-shirts. In the final round of the Premier League that season, we played Southampton away and if we didn't win, we would be relegated. ”

Emily's voice was soft, and her London accent was very nice.

"In order to cheer up the team, every one of our partners who go to the away stadium holds up this sentence. Hopefully the team can work miracles. ”

Relegation battle. Chu Zhongtian knows that this is an indispensable part of football, and it is also a very important "scenery" in the English football environment. Every season, people leave the top stage, some teams sink deeper and deeper, and some teams are reborn. Even though he already knew the ending, he reflexively asked, "What about the result?" ”

"We're downgraded." Emily lifted the brim of her cap, looked up and smiled at Chu Zhongtian. 'On 14 May, we were relegated from the Premier League. Twelve years ago, we beat the unbeatable Liverpool to win the FA Cup. It was our most glorious moment. ”

Looking at this girl's smiling face, Chu Zhongtian felt that she was not as ...... as he appeared Indifferent? I guess so.

Emily found Chu Zhongtian's eyes looking at her, and she shrugged: "Don't talk about this." I'm so glad to see you here, Chu. She deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of "here."

"Uh...... I really just passed by......" Chu Zhongtian lowered his head and saw the backpack strap he was carrying, so he thought that he had found a savior: "I was dispatching, I happened to run over here, and I found that there was an extra poster here, so I came over to take a look......"

Emily abruptly interrupted his impatient self-defense: "I waited for you here for three days, and I haven't seen you, and I thought you were fired from that Chinese fast food chain." ”

"Huh? Over here? Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised, and he pointed to his feet.

"I met you here at the time, and you were being chased by two dogs." Emily laughed, her eyes crooked into crescents. Looking back now, the appearance of the boy in front of me is really funny.

As soon as she said this, Chu Zhongtian looked at Zhou's terrible environment. Sure enough, he saw the somewhat dilapidated courtyard gate in front of him, and from the empty courtyard door he could still see two short-legged pit bulls, and when he saw him looking over, he grinned at him, revealing a mouthful of fangs and saliva in his mouth......

"I ...... Well, it's not a job that happens every day. He still didn't believe that the girl in front of him had been waiting for him here for three days. Why? This was his first thought, why was she so attached to herself?

Looking at Emily with a smile on her face, Chu Zhongtian still decided to refuse her kindness, although he didn't know why this beauty was so favored by him. If he were to put it in an urban novel, he would think that he had lost his fortune, and from then on a large number of beautiful women would flock to him, scrambling to be the first*. But this is the athletic novel...... "Sorry, Miss Stan......"

"Call me Emily, or Amy." Emily interrupted him with a smile.

"Well, Miss Emily......"

"Remove the 'Miss.'" Emily said to Chu Zhongtian with a smile.

"I'll rely on ......" Chu Zhongtian scolded in a low voice in Chinese, he felt that this girl was really troublesome. Well, Emily, I'm not a fan of football. I repeat, I'm saying true, I really, really don't like football. He raised his arms and waved them down every time he said "really."

Emily stared at him for a moment, then shook her head and said, "You're lying." ”

Chu Zhongtian's eyes narrowed: "Do you have any money to lie to you?" ”

"I don't know why you refused, but I want to...... Well, people who fight until the last moment in the game and still don't give up should like football, right? Emily stared at Chu Zhongtian's eyes and asked rhetorically.

"That's just my personal principle, it's not about preference. I take everything I do seriously and never give up in advance. Those of my teammates, they gave up early on, but can you say they don't like football? They're all fans. Chu Zhongtian spread out his hand.

"That's because they don't love football as much as you do."

Chu Zhongtian grinned, he really didn't know what to say.

"Can you tell me, Emily. Why on earth do you want me to go to the tryout? After being silent for a while, Chu Zhongtian pointed to the poster and asked.

"I have a question for you too, Chu." Emily ignored Chu Zhongtian's question, and asked her own question without authorization, which may be the prerogative of the beauty......

She took off her cap and let Chu Zhongtian see all of her expressions. "Are you willing to play a game like that?" She was referring to a friendly match between Chinese and British students.

"I'm not going to play anymore." Chu Zhongtian shook his head, he really thought so.

"If you don't play, are you willing?" Emily continued.

"This ......" Chu Zhongtian was speechless for a while. He hadn't played a game in the three years before that game, and he did it with a bit of gambling, but then he was slowly dragged down by his studies and couldn't take care of it. If he really didn't touch football because he didn't want to play, why did he say yes when Yang Yang begged him to help play a game?

"From now on, you will never play football, are you willing?" Emily repeated her question.

Chu Zhongtian still didn't know how to answer.

Are you willing or unwilling not to play? This is a multiple-choice question, and answer A is willing, and answer B is unwilling.

Whether to kick or not to kick a ball is also a multiple-choice question. Answer A is to kick the ball, answer B is not to kick the ball.

Whether or not to go to the new Wimbledon trial is still a matter of choice. The answer A is to go, and the answer to B is not to go.

The three multiple-choice questions were placed in front of Chu Zhongtian's eyes, and the dice in his head were constantly spinning and rolling.

Chu Zhongtian remembered that he was actually very good at doing multiple-choice questions......

Thinking of this, Chu Zhongtian took out the coin in his pants pocket and showed it to Emily.

Emily didn't know what he was going to do, just a very ordinary pound coin.

"The Queen's side said I'm going to try out." Chu Zhongtian flipped the coin and said, "This side of the word means not going." In his heart, he still had a few words to say: the queen's side means that I am unwilling, and the side with words means that I am willing; The queen's side means I want to play, and the word side means I don't want to play.

With that, he tossed the coin high.

Both men's heads were raised in response to the movement, their eyes following the coins that were tumbling in the air.

"Click", the coin fell to the ground. Emily leaned over, then cried out in surprise: "Queen! ”

Chu Zhongtian didn't look surprised, he bent down and picked up the coin: "Three wins in five games." ”

Hearing him say this, Emily glared at Chu Zhongtian dissatisfied, and her mouth pursed. Why is this Chinese boy still cheating?

Seeing her angry look, Chu Zhongtian felt very cute, and he suddenly wanted to tease her: "You have to thank me for not using the final rules of snooker." ”

The finals of snooker generally have to play many rounds, with 19 rounds of 10 wins, 17 rounds of 9 wins, and 35 rounds of 18 wins.

As he spoke, he tossed the coin in his hand again, and Emily didn't bother to be angry with him, and crouched down to see the coin hit the ground.

"Queen!" She screamed in surprise again.

She picked up the coin and stuffed it into Chu Zhongtian's hand, and shouted excitedly: "The third time! The third time! ”

With three wins in five games and two already wins, Emily thinks there is a lot of hope for a win. She suddenly became interested in this gambling game.

Chu Zhongtian threw out the coin in his hand for the third time. As he expected, it was still a female dynasty.

"Win!" Emily jumped for joy. However, she was not satisfied, she wanted to see how many times if Chu Zhongtian threw it five times, it would be the queen's.

Fourth.

"Still the Queen!!" Emily's voice was shaking, and she couldn't believe it.

Fifth.

This time, Emily didn't scream again, but picked up the coin and flipped it to the other side. She suspected that the coin was a queen on both sides......

After finishing the study, Emily said to Chu Zhongtian very seriously: "It looks like the queen wants you to come to our team." This is the Queen's will. ”

Chu Zhongtian laughed. What is the Queen's will? He knows best in his heart that this is a multiple-choice question, heads or tails, going or not going, willing or unwilling. And he is the best at multiple-choice questions, and most of the time he can roll the correct answer...... In other words, it is not the coin that decides whether he goes or not, but he himself decides which side of the coin is up, and if he says that the word means to go and the queen means not to go, then the next five times will be the word. The answer is already there, and there is no need to flip a coin.

"You win, I'll go." He said to a happy Emily.
