Chapter 72: The World Cup
Qiu Si said that I have no rival in love, it seems that she does not know Andre. On June 9th, my rival appeared. Originally, Andre was planning to take me there to play! But when June 9 came, he seemed to have forgotten everything. Along with him were Basha and Daric. Andrei moved his TV to the activity room, and Daric and Basha brought back a few crates of beer. Figor, Adris and Marie Sauer, Rosa and Rosa's boyfriend, they also got a bunch of things to eat and drink, and they got here every day.
In the past few days, all I have heard in my ears is one word - the World Cup.
The World Cup is a carnival for football fans, and I found no holiday today that seems to excite Andre as much as the World Cup.
The World Cup was held in Germany, and it was also the first time that the World Cup returned to Europe after a gap of more than ten years. At that time, the Italian team had the strongest squad, and Andre was an avid fan of the Italian team. He has always hoped that this time the Italian team will be able to realize their dream of Germany.
To be honest, unlike most girls, I can also say that I am half a football fan. I've loved watching football since I was in middle school, thanks to my dad who loves football! But compared to Andre, I feel like a complete pseudo-fan. Every fan has their favorite team, and I don't know when I found myself a fan of the German team. My dad likes Brazil, Andre supports Italy, and it seems that everyone understands football and likes it from a different perspective.
Andre wanted me to surrender in support of the Italian team, which was not easy to say, but the Italian team's early performance was so unsatisfactory. I also said that this time at the German home stadium, I hope that my favorite German tank can be driven to the end. André has a lot to say about the German's game. He said then let the facts teach me a lesson and see who is stronger in the outcome.
I don't know if it's because of the rivalry with me or if he's always been like this, but during the World Cup, Andre paid a perverted attention to the Italian team. I think he's busier than the Russian press center. Basha listened to first-hand information from Andrei every day, and then preached everywhere, but he was beautifully admired by everyone. This time the World Cup can be regarded as the muzzle of Andrei's gun, and many of the first-hand news he watches on the Internet and TV every day are not reported by the Russian media.
Also, he knows German and Italian. Including the German media, the Italian media reported the lace news of the stars, and they did not let go of it. In fact, André had already started to pay attention to the situation of the teams in various countries a week before the game, but at that time there was no one to talk to him. As soon as the game began, these fans went into a state of madness. Fortunately, unlike the time difference of a few hours in China, our daily life and rest are basically not affected. However, my food has been affected a lot, and there has been an increase in junk food such as hamburgers and pizzas. I also saw beer bottles littered everywhere every day. Andre, who was not very talkative, has endless feelings, evaluations and predictions these days.
Italy came on in the group stage and Andre put his arm around me and introduced me to his heroes. This year's Italian team is also really full of stars: Buffon, Zaccardo, Cannavaro, Nesta, Otto, Materazzi, Totti, Perrotta, Pirlo, Piero, Toni, Inzaghi...... All of them are thunderous, and they can be described as a gathering of big names.
I turned my face to look at Andre, and his serious and focused expression told me that Andre looked at his peers running on the field and went crazy with envy!
In the quarterfinals, Italy won against Germany. André was so excited that he almost didn't want to sleep that day. Pestering me to recognize how great he is and how invincible he is with the Italian team!
I told André that there is an idiom in China called "Blind Cat Meets Dead Mouse".
Andrea said that if I always treat the Italian team with this attitude, I will never think about eating his egg custard again!
These guys not only watch the ball, during the breaks of the game, they also organize the game themselves. Sometimes they can start playing without even getting people together.
I looked at Andre's back in his shirt and suddenly it felt eerily similar to the players I saw on TV. I began to imagine Andre in the ring. From this moment on, I often had a strange state of mind about Andrei. I would inadvertently use him to replace a character in a certain scene, which I discovered later.
I remember the break before the final, and they got together to play again. I didn't go that time, and I didn't have the heart to watch their games where they didn't score. I sat on a bench coming out of the playground and waited for Andre to finish.
At this time, there were three little children about six or seven years old, the first was the daughter of our head of department, and the other boy and girl I had never met.
They saw me sitting there, picking a handful of flowers somewhere. The three of them had to sell it to me, and I was wearing a slip dress with no pockets on my body, so I went there to find money for them. The children didn't believe me and purged me to buy it. I told them I had no money. Our head of department's daughter was so naughty that she said you could get your boyfriend to pay for it.
At this time, Andre and the others seemed to have dispersed, and I saw people coming out of the sports field one after another and passing me. I can't help it when I'm pestered by the children, so tell them that I don't have a boyfriend, so you can go and sell flowers to my sister who has a boyfriend.
It just so happened that Ming passed by here and saw this, bought flowers, and he wanted to give them to me, but immediately after that, Andrei Basha and they also came over. Seeing the flowers handed to me by Ming, I really didn't dare to accept them, so I waved my hand to Ming and refused. Ming didn't expect me to do this, and he watched me walk away in a huff. To be honest, I felt a lot of discomfort in my heart. What I did was rude! However, I don't know, I do have something unspeakable, Andre's careful eyes I really dare not be wary, he is walking towards me, the boy's eyes have always been good. I really don't know how he will react when he sees me receiving the bright flowers, I don't dare to take this risk! In case there is a head-on conflict between him and Ming, or on campus, I really can't afford this impact.
I'd rather let Ming think I'm rude. Even I feel humiliated by doing so, let alone Ming!
I've been feeling guilty about Ming ever since.
Sure enough, Andre arrived after that, and I handed him my hand to him to pull me up.
Andrei bent down and kissed me on the hand, then lay down on the bench, he rested his head on my lap, looked at me with a smile and asked:
- "Who did you just meet?" ”
When Basha and Figor saw Andrei's scoundrel appearance, they smiled and shook their heads and left.
I lowered my head, saw the shining blue eyes on Andrei's tanned face, and said:
- "I've met a scoundrel right now!" ”
Andre made a very contrasting impression on me. He looks mature and steady, but hidden behind his somewhat cold and rational exterior is as innocent as a child, full of imagination and curiosity about the world.
Andrei is headstrong.
But can this world let him be so willful forever!?
By the way, Italy won the World Cup that year!
