Seeing the familiar name on the caller ID, De Bruyne hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to answer the phone or not.

Thinking that he was about to leave the Premier League and return to the Bundesliga as a deserter, De Bruyne gritted his teeth and refused to answer Lin Quan's call.

He didn't know how to face the other party at this time.

The two came to the Premier League at the same time, one is the Bundesliga Golden Boot and the other is the Bundesliga assist king.

As a result, the fate of the two was very different in different teams.

Lin Quan became the heart of Manchester City, and he led the team to the most brilliant record in Manchester City's history, and was recognized by the outside world as the most high-profile superstar in football.

His Premier League journey has undoubtedly been a success.

And what about yourself?

When he first came to the Premier League, he was still in high spirits, but now he is depressed and decadent, and he has to flee the Premier League with his tail between his legs.

De Bruyne is a very strong man, but he is also a more withdrawn and sensitive person at heart.

If he had a normal relationship with Lin Quan, then he would probably answer the call.

But his relationship with Lin Quan is too good, he doesn't know how to face this best friend at this time, especially when the other party asks about his current situation, he doesn't know how to answer.

Directly told him that he couldn't adapt to the Premier League and couldn't get a chance to play at Chelsea, so he had to break the original agreement between the two and leave the Premier League like a deserter?

Forget it!

His pride allowed him to do so!

……

"This kid, hang up your phone?"

On the phone, seeing that his call was rejected, Lin Quan was slightly surprised.

De Bruyne, something must have happened.

Thinking of De Bruyne's character, Lin Quan became more and more sure of his judgment.

So, he called Kompany.

Kompany was very surprised to receive a call from Lin Quan:

"What's the matter, Lin, is there anything wrong with me so late?"

"Sorry to disturb your rest, Captain, I want to ask one thing, do you know De Bruyne's address in London?"

Kompany and Kevin De Bruyne are team-mates in the national team, and Lin Quan thinks he may have some information.

'I don't know much about that, but I can ask Courtois for you, he has a good relationship with De Bruyne.

Lin Quan: "......"

Sharing a girlfriend, that relationship is really not ordinary!

Half an hour later, Kompany gave Lin Quan an address.

Lin Quan thought for a moment, although he could go over to find someone tomorrow.

But next week is a match day for the FIFA national team, and De Bruyne is Belgium's main midfielder, and he is likely to return to Belgium early.

In the case of his refusal to answer his call, with Lin Quan's knowledge of De Bruyne, he is likely to leave early to avoid being found by himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Quan did not hesitate, immediately went to the garage to pick up the car, and went straight to London.

Manchester is about 300 kilometres from London, and a quick drive can take you three hours.

Finally, at about one o'clock in the morning, Lin Quan arrived outside De Bruyne's residence.

Bang bang bang!

After Lin Quan glanced at the house number, he knocked vigorously on De Bruyne's door.

This guy is probably asleep at this time, and he may not be able to hear without a little force.

To his surprise, however, the lights in De Bruyne's house came on with just one knock.

This guy hasn't slept yet?

"Who?"

De Bruyne's vigilant voice came from behind the door.

The security in London is not good, and anyone can get nervous when someone knocks on the door like this in the middle of the night.

"I, Lin Quan!"

After Lin Quan reported his name, the room was quiet, and there was no sound on De Bruyne's side.

He didn't seem to expect that Lin Quan would come from Manchester City so quickly, right?

"Don't play dead, I know you're in there, open the door quickly, or I'm going to drive through the door, you know, I've always been very mobile!"

With a squeak, De Bruyne finally opened the door under Lin Quan's pressure.

"Is there anything to eat? Drove for hours and was a little hungry! ”

After entering the door, Lin Quan glanced at De Bruyne and did not directly ask him what happened.

De Bruyne was caught off guard by him, and was ready to face the other party's questioning, but he didn't expect the other party to play cards according to the routine.

"There's half a pizza in the fridge, but it's cold."

"Is there a microwave? Just warm it up, I'm not a picky eater. ”

This guy doesn't look like a person who can cook at home, and this pizza is most likely leftover from his takeout.

Lin Quan himself can cook, but he only played the game during the day, and drove more than three hours from Manchester to London, which exerted a lot of physical strength on the way, and his sleepy eyelids were about to fight at this time, and he had no energy to cook.

De Bruyne naturally has a microwave oven at home, and in a few minutes, half of the hot pizza is served on the table.

Lin Quan didn't dislike it, and looked at De Bruyne's residence while eating.

It was the first time he had visited Kevin De Bruyne's home and had wanted to come and see him when he was a Chelsea visit.

But before that, Manchester City had played three away games and were already exhausted, so they didn't stay in London after that game and returned to Manchester, causing Lin Quan's plan to come to naught.

"Sit, what the hell are you holding in your own house?"

Seeing De Bruyne standing aside a little nervously, neither sitting nor standing.

Lin Quan was a little amused by him.

Why does this guy look so much like a child who has done something wrong and is waiting to see his parents?

Am I that scary?

De Bruyne nodded and sat down on the couch.

Lin Quan pointed to the pizza that he hadn't finished eating and asked, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

De Bruyne shook his head.

After quickly resolving the battle, Lin Quan wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then looked around.

"Looking for what?"

This time, it was De Bruyne who took the initiative to ask.

"Of course I'm looking for a place to sleep, it's almost two o'clock at night, aren't you sleepy?"

Debrau said in his heart that I was very sleepy, but I was frightened by your sudden arrival, and now I am completely sleepy, not only not sleepy, but also thief.

Since rejecting Lin Quan's call, Debrau has been uneasy in his heart, and there is always a feeling that something is going to happen.

Sure enough, something really happened!

Lin Quan actually came from Manchester overnight to meet him, which made him very surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable.

That's really the guy's style.

It's just that the more he doesn't speak, the more worried Debrau feels in his heart, and there is always a feeling that he has done something wrong and is sorry for him.

Lin Quan yawned, he was really sleepy.

Fortunately, it's a holiday next, so I don't have to play a game, otherwise I would have been in no shape tomorrow with this toss tonight.

De Bruyne became more and more unclear about the other party's purpose, so he ate when he came, and slept when he ate.

Didn't he come to ask the teacher about his sin?

However, Lin Quan didn't speak, and he didn't dare to ask.

So I had to take Lin Quan to the second bedroom to rest.

Lin Quan fell asleep upside down, while De Bruyne was a little sleepless.

There was nothing to say all night, because they both slept very late, so when they woke up the next morning, it was already half past nine in the morning.

"Morning, let's have breakfast, I'll make it!"

Looking at De Bruyne with panda eyes, Lin Quan said hello to him, then took off his bib, washed his hands and sat down at the table.

De Bruyne took a look, toast, fried eggs, breakfast tea, and a large bowl of soup made from something I don't know what it was.

De Bruyne looked at Lin Quan's face and tried to take a sip.

After drinking, my eyes lit up!

At first, he felt a little sour, but when the soup melted in his mouth, the sourness turned into sweetness, and the rich flavor of the umami and aroma stimulated the taste buds on the tip of his tongue, causing him to have a big appetite, and he drank a big bowl after dividing five by two.

"How's it going, is it delicious?"

"Uh-huh, delicious!"

"Hehe, this is called tomato egg soup, it is a very delicious soup in Chinese food, cheap and delicious, if you like me to give you the recipe, you can try to learn it yourself!"

Seeing that De Bruyne was very interested in this soup, Lin Quan opened his mouth to introduce him.

Tomato and egg soup is the simplest soup, and many people like it.

In addition to pork liver and lean meat soup and radish and pork blood soup, this is Lin Quan's third favorite soup.

Compared to ordering takeout outside or eating casually at home, today's breakfast is definitely the most hearty and delicious breakfast De Bruyne has had in recent times.

He had never known that Lin Quan still had such a skill.

I didn't expect this guy to not only play football well, but also cook so well.

At the thought of this, De Bruyne was even more ashamed of himself.

"What time is your flight?"

Seeing De Bruyne's suitcase that had been packed in advance, Lin Quan guessed that he might have to take a flight back to Belgium today to participate in the national team's competition, so he asked.

"Half past eleven in the morning."

"Refund, I can't grab the ticket for this flight, you change to the next flight!"

"Oh!"

De Bruyne did so, and when he bought his ticket, he felt that something was wrong.

"Wait, why did you buy a ticket on the same flight as me?"

"Why? Of course, I'm going to Belgium and see how you do with the national team! ”

Lin Quan looked De Bruyne up and down:

"I'm curious, I haven't played in two months, can you still do it!"

……

De Bruyne has proven to be in great form.

In Belgium's friendly match against Colombia, he scored a goal and provided an assist to help his team draw 2-2.

In the other game against Japan, he scored twice and assisted a goal to help the team beat the opponent 3-2.

After watching the two games, Lin Quan has a bottom on De Bruyne's form.

Although this guy didn't get a chance to play at Chelsea, his training is probably not falling behind, and he didn't show that kind of self-defeating behavior.

From the physicality he showed in the game, Lin Quan felt he was a little stronger than when he first arrived at Chelsea.

Although there are still some problems defensively, as long as he is not used as a dedicated defensive player, his current defensive ability is fully qualified.

I really don't understand why Mourinho can't look down on him!

At this time, De Bruyne was at least half a grade stronger than De Bruyne in the same time period of the original plane.

Thinking of this, Lin Quan said directly to De Bruyne:

"Come to Manchester City, the two of us will join hands and carve out a new world of our own in Manchester City!"

Manchester City just need a master passer to free Lin Quan.

And De Bruyne happens to have such ability, coupled with his relationship with Lin Quan and the tacit understanding between the two, they are undoubtedly the most suitable partner.

"You've been following me for seven or eight days, just to talk about this?"

De Bruyne crossed his hands on his hips and looked at Lin Quan with some tears and laughter.

In order to so-called inspect his own state, the other party insisted on accompanying him for more than a week on the Belgian side.

De Bruyne suspects that Lin Quan has never been so attentive to his girlfriend, right?

"You kid, don't you mean to say that if I had invited you on the first day, you would have said yes to me, would you?"

"Of course, how could I refuse an invitation to fight alongside you?"

De Bruyne smiled as he held out his hand.

Lin Quan also smiled, and he also stretched out his hand, and the two hands were heavily clasped together.

Just then, De Bruyne's cell phone rang.

It was a call from his agent, Patrick.

"Kevin, Wolfsburg is the most interested in you, not only are they willing to promise you a place in the main team, but they also offer the highest annual salary and bonuses of the three teams!"

Patrick said excitedly that after some hard negotiations, he managed to negotiate De Bruyne's annual salary to 4.5 million euros, which is already the highest annual salary for a first-class star.

No matter how high it is, it is the treatment of a top star, and De Bruyne's current fame and strength are not at the level of a top star, so it is impossible for him to get such a high salary.

So, after negotiating this condition with Wolfsburg, Patrick is almost certain that De Bruyne will never refuse this annual salary.

It is only necessary to wait for the winter break to begin, when Wolfsburg make an offer to Chelsea, and once the two parties have agreed on a transfer fee, they can sign Wolfsburg.

Patrick thought that De Bruyne would happily agree to the transfer, but to his surprise, before he could finish the details of the contract, De Bruyne said categorically:

"No, I'm not going to Wolfsburg."

Patrick was stunned for a moment, thinking that De Bruyne still wanted to stay at Chelsea, so he persuaded him bitterly:

'Kevin, you should be aware of the fact that you have no future at Chelsea and it would be good for you and the team to leave early.

De Bruyne nodded:

"Yes, that's what Lin told me!"

"Lin, which Lin?"

Patrick was stunned for a moment.

"Manchester City's Lin, he sent me an invitation!"

Patrick gasped and Manchester City seemed to be a good place to go.

They have a good record in the league and the Champions League, and the core of the team has a good relationship with Kevin De Bruyne, so they won't be sidelined like Chelsea.

However, can Manchester City fancy Kevin De Bruyne?

He hasn't proven himself at Chelsea, so are Manchester City really willing to spend that money on a buy?

Although Lin Quan has a good relationship with De Bruyne, he is just a player, can he really influence Manchester City's decision-makers to buy De Bruyne?

If only they turned down an olive branch from the Bundesliga side and Manchester City didn't make a move during the winter break.

Wouldn't De Bruyne's situation be very embarrassing?

"I believe him!"

De Bruyne's tone was unusually firm!
