Kabine paid the fare, got out of the back of the taxi, and came to the door of a hardware store, where he looked up at the exterior of the store and realized that it was a mistake to call the place in front of him 'the shop'.

This is basically a hardware store, it can also be said to be a small hardware factory, opened next to a leisure square in the southern district of Marseille, covering an area of 10,000 square feet, this place is like a supermarket, except that they sell not food, but water pipes, chainsaws, boards, screws and other hardware supplies.

Carbine hissed, seeing that the hardware store was much bigger than he had imagined, he was worried about how to find Airy's guy, and then imagined how he would continue this search if Airy happened to be on vacation and didn't go to work today.

"Let's go in first." Kirby said this in his heart, but he could only do this, because that guy from Airy would not appear in front of him miraculously, and the cold wind outside the street pierced his face and made him very uncomfortable, so he really walked in without a choice.

The glass front door of the store slid open, and when Carbine officially walked in, he felt much warmer again, and when the glass door closed automatically, this feeling came even more. Then the qiē in front of him surprised Kabine again, this hardware store seems to be a storage warehouse, except that this store is bought and sold in exactly the same way as a supermarket, the goods are neatly arranged on long shelves, and after the customers have walked around and selected the items, they can go to the front desk counter to pay.

"Oh! There are so many people in the hardware market? ”

I saw that there were about forty or fifty customers in the store. This made the anxious searcher Kabine's heart flutter for a while, and he didn't know whether to go to the front desk counter first to explain the matter, or to say that he would go to the store first to wander around. Let's see if we can meet Airy who is on duty.

Seeing that the staff at the six front desk counters were busy collecting points for customers, in order not to disturb them for the time being, Carbine decided to go inside first, and maybe he could solve the matter by himself, so there was no need to bother some other staff.

As for the current appearance of the guy in Airy, Kabine guessed that it should not have changed much, but remembered that the other party liked to have short blonde hair when he was a child. And especially near the back of the temples on both sides, Airy likes to use a hair planer to shovel the hair in those two positions about a millimeter, saying that it looks particularly handsome.

Come to think of it. Kabinet laughed out loud as he walked around, because until now he thought that Airy's hairstyle really looked like a person who was suffering from hair loss. Several times before, they had pointed at Airy's head and laughed at them. But Airy always said, "Hairstyles like that, you know a!" ”

The smiling face was gone, and after closing his mouth, Kabine had already wandered around the store, and when he returned to his position near the door, he was alerted by a sign in front of the door, and then he realized that the store would close for the day in an hour.

"Huh? It was close at seven o'clock, and I couldn't see that guy in Airy just after a walk. How? Kirbine's right hand clenched into a fist and slammed into his left hand, which was spread out into the palm of his hand. There was also a "snap" sound.

There was no point in wasting time like this, and Carbine finally decided to go to the counter to ask about Airy's whereabouts, but before he could give half a step, he was stopped by a staff member at the store.

"Sir! Is there something you need help with? The staff member approached Kabine's side and said.

Kabine didn't have time to react, thinking that he had not yet opened his mouth to be seen through by others, which was really a bit unexpected, and later saw that the staff was also a willing to help attitude, so Kabine said: "Uh~~! Is there a young man here named 'Airy'? I need to talk to him about something. ”

The staff member let out an "oh" and replied, "Understood, it turns out that you are looking for that guy from Airy, okay, I'll go and call him for you, he ...... It seems to be in the staff locker room, right? I heard that he will leave work early today, you came to him this time, does he know? ”

Kirbine shook his head and said, "No! He didn't know that I was going to come to him, and I decided to come here this time, so I'll trouble you. ”

The staff smiled and said: "It's okay, but if you are ten minutes late, I believe you will have to go to his house to find him, and after a while he changes into civilian clothes, he will get off work directly, it seems that the two of you are really a bit fate, don't say it, I'll help you call him, right?" ”

Carbine politely said, "Thank you!" ”

After about three minutes, Carbine saw a familiar figure walking towards him step by step, it was Airy who had not seen him for at least five years, but the height of that guy made Carbine feel a little strange, and when Airy walked in front of him, Carbine realized that the other party's height had grown at least ten centimeters.

"Uh~~? It can't be you, right? Kabine? Europe's golden boy this year? Airy couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't believe that Kabine would appear in front of him at this time.

And Carbine's words were very simple, first he said: "Friend! Long time no see, still ...... All right? ”

This question made Airy embarrassed, and he wanted to have a hug with Carbine after a long absence, but at this time he didn't know what to do, and finally said: "It's okay at the moment, I've been working here for almost a year, just now I wanted to take a shower in the locker room and get off work, but I heard from my colleague that someone came to me, so I didn't have time to take a shower and came out, and then I didn't think it was you, uh...... You? You must have heard from the Dean that I was working here, right? ”

"Yes," said Carbine, "taking advantage of the team's winter break, I will come back to Marseille for a visit, and by the way, I will take a look at the old friends in the house, and I also learned some basic information about you from the dean, and later found that the only old friend I can find most directly is you." ”

Kirbyne said as he stared at Airy, as if he wanted to take a closer look at what his childhood friend was like.

After hearing this, Airy was still embarrassed, and he said, "Yes~Yes~Yes~! It's time for the team to take a break from winter, so it's no wonder that there's time to come back, in fact...... I sometimes watch your matches live and cheer you on all the time! ”

"Alas!"

Kabine sighed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you try to contact me?" And also...... I really don't understand why you all gave up your original football dream, didn't you agree to play against each other on the field in the future? Why am I the only one who has persevered? ”

It was just a series of questions, questions that had plagued Kabinet for a long time, but between the questions, Kabine did not give the slightest hint of anger, or that he wanted to give some anger, but seeing that his childhood friend was standing in front of him again, the unforgotten friendship replaced the so-called anger......

"Alas!"

Airy also sighed and said, "Yes, we have said together that we will persevere until the football dream is achieved, but ...... But not everyone's perseverance is as strong as yours, in the process of chasing dreams, there will always be people who will quietly give up the initial qiē, as for why I unilaterally don't contact you, because after I completely give up my dreams, there is no way to face you. ”

Kirbine patted Airy on the shoulder and said, "Friend! Thank you for being so honest, but...... I want to say, it's really ugly that you're wearing work clothes like this now, you should wear a jersey, and only Airy is the most handsome when he wears a jersey, understand? (To be continued......)
