Chapter 2: The Golden Age
Lin Yi quickly hid in the dormitory, panting with his back to the door, both nervous and a trace of excitement that had not been seen for a long time.
He looked sideways at the door, his previous experience of committing crimes came back to his mind, and he neatly turned off the light switch in the dormitory.
The uncle downstairs will definitely run out to see, and he can't let him follow the light to locate himself.
Otherwise, loud noises will result in disciplinary points.
Lin Yi suddenly realized that this reason for worrying was a bit funny: Workers are only afraid of deducting money, when have they ever been afraid of deducting points?
He's still slowly coming to terms with this fact.
Standing in the dark, he gradually remembered what had happened that day:
In the opening match of the World Cup in South Africa, Principal Gu allowed the students to watch it in the classroom, saying that they could feel the influence of football culture and appreciate the charm of sports.
The year before, they also screened the hottest disaster film "2012" at that time.
The visual effects of Hollywood blockbusters in that era were really shocking, which was like later, the matryoshka movies of superheroes couldn't bring adrenaline at all.
Lin Yi thought of impulsively leaving a message on the Internet: What bullshit is the doomsday prophecy of the Mayan civilization, nothing happened in 2012.
However, he didn't have a hobby of being a prophet, and he didn't want to be sent to a laboratory for slicing research.
And that's not accurate.
Although the world is stable and normal, they took the college entrance examination that year.
Thinking of this, Lin Yicai switched his thoughts back to the present.
What does a high school freshman look like?
The summer is very long, the sun is very sunny, and the teenagers in school uniforms are playing basketball on the plastic court, because the space is limited, they can only play half the court, and they are so hot that they are sweating......
Thinking of basketball, his roommates, who were not in the dormitory when they woke up, should have gone down a long time ago.
Lao Lu didn't want to miss the game, so he woke him up and left first, and he usually wouldn't leave him so unjustly.
He thought about it, and he should go to the classroom.
Dressed in the dark, he glanced back at the door number as he walked out of the bedroom.
It is familiar "AS601".
When Lin Yi walked out of the dormitory door, he was still a little worried about being stopped by the uncle to interrogate him about the shouting upstairs just now.
Unexpectedly, the small window facing the dormitory door in the communication room was not opened, and Shakira's African-style singing voice came from the window:
“Waka Waka eh eh……”
“This time for Africa!”
It seems that the uncle's mind has also flown to Johannesburg.
……
A few minutes later, Lin Yi appeared at the back door of the 414 class classroom, looking hesitantly inside, looking for a vacant seat.
He couldn't remember where he was supposed to sit now.
The lights were turned off in the classroom, and only in the left front corner, the light of the TV was flickering, and the game had officially begun.
Fortunately, a large figure at the back of the classroom spotted him, beckoned to him, and pointed to the seat next to him.
He touched his nose, thinking that the figure of the old bear was too eye-catching, and he could recognize it just by looking at the silhouette.
Lin Yi can sit at the same table with Lao Xiong, of course, he is not short.
He began to grow rapidly from junior high school, and by the first and second years of high school, he basically didn't jump up much, and finally stabilized at 183.
There are still people in the class who are about the same height as him, but it is rare in the grade of Lao Xiong.
He raised his hand in response, then walked over to that side.
The last row by the window is indeed the protagonist position.
Behind the seats are cabinet air conditioners and water dispensers.
"What did you do?" Old Bear asked casually, his eyes still fixed on the game on TV.
"Slept." He said nonchalantly.
He scanned the entire classroom and saw that there were a few empty seats, and there were always a few absentees from all group activities.
For most students, watching the World Cup is still a novel experience, and it is still in the classroom where classes are usually held, and everyone is engrossed.
Many girls watched and ate snacks with snacks in their hands, and from time to time they shared them with their classmates: "Do you want this delicious?" ”
The boys are simpler, with a bottle of Coke at most, and they are not yet presumptuous enough to drink openly in the classroom.
In the first half of the game, the goal of the host South African team has been repeatedly destroyed and crumbling by the Mexican team playing away.
It was finally broken in the 37th minute, but the linesman raised the flag for offside and the goal was disallowed.
Lin Yi is not as focused as others, he already knew that this game was played 1:1, and neither team is a big name.
Soon the first half passed, and both sides were scoreless.
Students who sat in class began to stretch their arms and legs, and some left their positions to pick up water or put water.
The boy sitting in front of the old bear turned around, rested his elbows on the two tables in front of him respectively, and habitually said dirty:
"Holy shit, what kind of shit did South Africa play, Lao Tzu's 200 yuan looks like it's going to be a loss."
This boy Lin Yi looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name all of a sudden, this habit of swearing has an impression, although it is not pleasing, but it is not really scolding.
Lao Xiong didn't care: "You bought South Africa? ”
"Host, where will you put your face if you don't win the first game?"
He probably thought back to the situation just now, and felt that it was likely to be a waste, and added: "But Lao Tzu just bought some to try the water, and the championship has to look at Germany." ”
The swear brother has an okay eye, and Germany finally killed Uruguay and took the third.
Lin Yi's heart suddenly moved.
"I think Argentina is quite strong, after all, there is Messi."
Lao Xiong is a typical layman, he only knows a few big-name stars, if he didn't know the result in advance, Lin Yi would be at this level.
The strange thing is that many girls who don't usually watch football also support the Argentine team, and if you want to talk about appearance in the football world, there are people who are more handsome than Messi.
Lin Yi irresponsibly guessed that it might be that he looked like a "womanizer" when chasing Ronaldo's words.
The swear brother was dismissive: "What about Portugal and Ronaldo, is it useful?" Football depends on the overall strength. ”
"Lin Yi, which one do you like?"
"Spain, of course."
Brother Dirty Talk found a little feeling of sympathy, and waved his hand:
"Lin Yi is quite discerning, although Spain is very strong, but the way of playing pass-and-control football is too boring, and it is not ornamental at all."
"I still prefer the attacking football of the German team, which is wide open and close, hearty and hearty, and wins the thief's ......"
Lin Yi kindly reminded: "In the 08 European Cup final, Germany lost to Spain. ”
There are some things that neither the parties involved nor the bystanders feel special until many years later, when they are sung into history.
Euro '08, World Cup '10, Euro '12 was the golden age of Spanish domination.
"So this year's champion is likely to be between Germany and Spain, but it is not yet known who will die......
Brother Dirty Talk is indeed prescient, and many people think that the semi-final between Germany and Spain is the real "championship match" of the World Cup in South Africa.
It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't plan to continue to talk nonsense with him, his mind had already drifted out of the clouds......
This is the first World Cup he has chased, and the outcome of the key games and even the score are a bit impressive.
You have to reminisce carefully, it's funny.
