Chapter Four Hundred and Ten: Bloodline
Trabzon has a population of less than 280,000 and the main city is small, and Arlon's apartment is located in a small block south of the city, which is clean but has few pedestrians, and Arlon's 2000 motorhome roars with a screeching engine in this neighborhood.
The apartment where Arlon lives is more than ten stories high, and there is no bright spot in the elevator lobby, and even the security guard's counter is not manned, and the elevator slot door looks like it has not been replaced for more than ten years.
When the elevator went up, it made a sound that it shouldn't have, and it was so slow that it was like a turtle crawling, and when it finally reached the floor where Arlon lived, Arlon made his own joke: "Oh! You know, according to my annual salary, I can only let myself live here temporarily, the only good thing about this place is that it is very quiet, and sometimes you go and open the refrigerator door, and you are worried about disturbing the neighbors, right? ”
Kabine felt helpless for his friend, but he was very familiar with this kind of living environment, thinking back to the two years in Eindhoven for his dream, almost every detail of this floor was very similar to his previous residence, the dark floor corridors, the wooden doors that he was worried about falling off almost every time, and the living area the size of the kitchen in the villa, as if Arlon was walking the route of Kabine's previous dreams.
But if Arlon can be promoted to the top of the European Golden Boy award this year, then Kabine's instinct is that everything that is bad for the time being will look so worthwhile in the future. After Arlon ushered him into the room, he sat down on a small couch unceremoniously. Then Arlon said, "This sofa was bought second-hand, and a heart attack once died on this sofa." ”
"! Is it true? Kabinehuo stood still. The whole person popped up about a meter away, which directly made Arlon laugh loudly, and he was going to make coffee, but he was laughing at Carbine: "Ha~ha~!" Remember when we were kids, the five of us went on adventures in the woods behind the house? Every time you're the first to cry and say you want to go back to the home, ha~! There's always something that hasn't changed in you! ”
"No kidding! Is what you just said true? Kirbyne gradually stepped back, deliberately keeping a certain distance from the sofa, his panicked appearance provoked Arlon to retract his maniacal face, and after more than ten seconds, Arlon explained: "Of course I'm joking! Just sit back! The only place in the room where I could sit was the couch. ”
Kirbine was skeptical. But he couldn't bear to make a joke in front of Arlon, and besides, the room that could sit down was just as Arlon said, so he had to take advantage of Arlon's free time to make coffee, and carefully sat back on the sofa, and looked around the sofa more nervously.
When his heart was beating regularly, Carbine took the coffee from Arlon. Then, having been abused by the cold wind outside for a long time, he hurriedly took several sips of coffee, and then, seeing Arlon again, sat down directly on the opposite floor. He also stared at him with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, so he rushed and asked, "You...... Why don't you sit on the couch? ”
Arlon had just taken a sip of coffee when he heard Cabine speak like an idiot. He almost couldn't resist squirting coffee, and he swallowed it. Completely defeated by Kirbine's continued panic, he had to say, "Don't be afraid! It's just that the couch is too short. It's too reluctant to sit down two people, you are a guest, it doesn't matter if I sit on the floor. ”
Carbine let out an "oh", and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't think that a European golden boy would be out of the world today, but he was glad that Arlon had been his friend for many years, and said that it was better to look foreign in front of his friends than to be embarrassed to be outside to a stranger, and then he took a few big sips of coffee, and when he saw that the room was so simple that there was nothing to talk about, he decided to ask Arlon a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Hey! Shortly after you left the house, you went to Cape Town, South Africa, why did you go there and how did you live there? If you don't mind......" After Cabine finished speaking, he glanced at it, very deliberately to observe the change in Arlon's expression in time.
How do you know that Arlon's expression was surprisingly indifferent, he "snorted" and said: "I rarely mention this matter, and I didn't think that I would go to a place as far away as Cape Town, but the reason is very simple, because shortly after leaving the institution, I contacted my biological parents who had not appeared for more than ten years, they lived in Cape Town, and after thinking and struggling, I went to Cape Town to live with them for two years, and then returned to Europe and continued to find a way to devote myself to the football player industry. Now it's what you see now. ”
"What are they like? I...... I'm asking you what your parents were like. Cabine picked at the cup of coffee with his fingertips, controlling his breathing, expecting Arlon's answer.
Arlon looked away, grinned, and said, "Oh? They? He...... They were clearly human, and the simplest way to put it is that I lived with them for two years, and before I left Cape Town, I finally managed to let go of my resentment towards them, even though they had given up on me, but ...... But I saw that my father and mother were still in love with each other, and that was probably the only joy in the whole thing. ”
"Is it hard to let go of resentment?" Kabine said, staring at the coffee in his cup.
"Very hard! It's 10,000 times harder than you think! Arlon turned his gaze back to Carbine, and he paused for a few more seconds, "uh" a few times, and turned to ask Carbine, "What about you?" Do you want to go over and find your biological parents? ”
Kabine snorted, lowered his head and brushed the tip of the hair in front of his forehead, and without looking at Arlon, he said: "It doesn't matter what kind of people my biological parents are, what matters is ...... They have missed the stage where I need them the most, and that's their regret, not mine. ”
Arlon let out a "hmm", got up and patted Kirbine on the shoulder, and then suddenly changed the conversation and said, "Hey! I'll tell you a funny thing, not only do I have two younger brothers, but my biological parents told me that I have French and English ancestry, and I really didn't think I was a mixed race bastard! Ha~~! ”
Carbine looked up and laughed and said, "Then if you had the opportunity to play in the international competition, would you choose to represent France?" ”
"Of course it's for France, my childhood is in that country, forever!" (To be continued......)
