Chu Zhongtian turned off the light in the room, threw his body on the bed, and then looked at the ceiling that was gradually becoming clearer.

The apartment room was silent, only the alarm clock on the bedside table was still moving, and the second hand kept making a "click" sound.

It's only half past eleven. When I got home, I took a shower, changed my clothes, packed my sneakers, cooled myself down, and went to bed, it was not yet twelve o'clock. It was true that he had to go to bed earlier than usual today, but he couldn't sleep.

Turning over, he saw the night sky outside the window through the window.

I never thought I would be able to play in a regular football league in the UK...... When he decided to say goodbye to football three years ago, he burned and threw away all the football-related things in his house. At that time, his father couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade him, but he cried and yelled at his father: "Anyway, I won't play football in the future, what are I doing with this!" ”

Football magazines and newspapers were reduced to ashes in the flames. His worn jerseys, pants and boots, as well as used footballs, were cut to pieces with a knife and thrown into the garbage. The silver medal and certificate he won in the national junior football competition were also thrown downstairs by him. The posters of the stars on the wall were all torn off, crumpled into balls, and thrown far away. Pictures of once kicking a football were cut into pieces and poured into the toilet bowl and flushed down the drain.

At that time, he thought that if he did that, he would not have anything to do with football again.

Mom is very happy about her determination not to play football. Ever since he broke his arm once when he was a kid because he was playing football, his mother objected to him playing football again. She hopes that she can go to school well, then open a university and get a good job. For this reason, when he was playing football when he was a child, she also enrolled herself in a painting class and forced him to learn to paint. What he didn't expect was that he still had some talent in drawing, and finally got an admission letter from Wimbledon Art School with this ability.

Is this fate?

But fate made him play football again in England. At first, because he didn't want him to play, he was asked to learn to draw, because he came to England to paint, and because he came to England to play football again...... Chu Zhongtian felt as if he had come full circle in the past few years.

For the past three years, he has been running and running with his head down, trying to get away from the soccer ball that broke his heart. Unexpectedly, when he was out of breath and was about to stop to rest, he found that there was a football parked right under his feet.

Would that fan dad be happy or angry if he knew he was back playing?

One thing is for sure, if my mother found out, she would be very angry......

It was a little hot, Chu Zhongtian lay on the mat he carried from home, and turned over again.

But it's a really good feeling to play and it's a good feeling to work with your team-mates. I really like to play football. Emily's eyes are poisonous, how does she see it?

Emily's smiling face appeared in front of Chu Zhongtian's eyes. He thought of what Emily had said to him this afternoon.

"The first game we won and then I was in the stands and I thought, how nice it would have been if you had been in the team then......"

This is the only regret, and the biggest regret: I still haven't tasted victory. The team finally won the last game, but he was not in the team. Will you win tomorrow's game?

There is one more problem.

Will you play it yourself?

Emily ran upstairs and downstairs, packing up her belongings for tomorrow's go-to game - a blue Wimbledon jersey, which was a must, and a blue Wimbledon scarf, which she held in her hand and held high to cheer on the team with her teammates.

Mom, who was wearing a nightdress and had long hair coiled on top of her head, watched from the side and did not speak. In fact, she doesn't like football, because when she sees something related to football, she thinks of the negative man who abandoned her and her daughter. Football is what he left to his daughter.

She was originally very opposed to her daughter going to the court to show her head, you must know that her daughter began to appear in TV commercials when she was seven years old, and she is considered a child star. In the future, it will definitely develop in the direction of movie stars, but now I am exposed to the scorching sun every day, shouting like a madman, and what should I do if my skin and throat are damaged?

But she can't help it, her daughter listens to everything, but football doesn't listen.

A bottle of water in the backpack and throat lozenges. Watching the game and cheering on the scene, the most expensive thing is the voice. So water and throat lozenges are standard equipment for every die-hard fan. An umbrella in case it rains tomorrow, although the weather forecast says it will be sunny tomorrow...... But the weather is not up to the weather forecast.

What else?

"Sunscreen." Mom's voice rang out.

"I took it." Emily pointed to a small bag on the side of her backpack.

With that, she stood at the table and glanced at the things on the table, then she patted her forehead and ran up again. When he came down again, he had a piece of paper in his hand. Mom glanced at it casually and noticed a word written on it: chu.

"Chu? That's the Chinese boy you say? ”

Emily folded the paper seriously. "Yes, Mom."

Mom frowned, as if she wanted to say something. But Emily interrupted.

"I know what you're trying to say, Mom. But my relationship with him is not what you might think. ”

Mom shrugged, "If only you knew it yourself, Amy." She walked upstairs. Go to bed early and don't stay up late, it's not good for your skin. ”

"Okay, Mom." Emily smiled at her mother.

It was only when Mom disappeared at the top of the stairs that her smile disappeared again.

It's been three years since Mom and Dad divorced, and since then Mom has become very strict with herself, and the family has lost its former joyful atmosphere. Now she can only feel happy when she is with the Dons and with football......

Sitting in a chair and looking at the pile of things on the table, Emily hadn't changed her position for a long time.
