Chapter 26: New Epic Skill, Afternoon Tea Date with Taylor (Writing Emotional Drama)
The European Championship has entered a new stage.
From the beginning of the preliminary round, the initial group stage, to now, the eight best teams in Europe this year have all been decided, forming the table of the quarterfinals.
In the first half, the first round of the matchup was Poland vs. Portugal, and the second round was Wales vs. Belgium.
Overall, Portugal and Belgium are in a better position to qualify.
But if you really put it into the game, it doesn't have to be anything, and it's possible to do the opposite.
As for the bottom half, the first round of the matchup was between Germany and Italy, and the second round was between France and dark horse Iceland.
The hosts have had a good time qualifying for this European Championship, with their opponents Ireland in the round of 16 and Iceland in the quarterfinals.
However, this is certainly not a shady operation or anything, France itself has the strength of the championship, and it can only be said that it is lucky.
While the outside world was disruptively discussing the news of the Belgian team's infighting, Chen Yufeng had already returned to the hotel on the night of the game, preparing for a new wave of card draws.
He also remembers one of the advanced missions, the quest to score six goals to get an epic treasure chest.
If he's lucky, he'll get something good, and it's definitely a very good boost for him right now.
[Detected that the host has completed the advanced task in Combo 1: Scored six goals in this European Cup!] 】
[Reward the host with an epic skill chest, is it opened?] 】
Hearing the voice in his head, Chen Yufeng couldn't help but rub his hands, and said excitedly: "Open it." ”
[Epic skills are being drawn for the host, please wait!] 】
[Congratulations to the host for getting the 'Arnold Sticking to the Ground Cross'!] 】
"Hit the ground and slash the cross?"
Chen Yufeng's eyes lit up, and his body quickly changed, and the arch of his right foot had a little more power and control for the ground pass.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, the prince of Liverpool, he is absolutely familiar with.
Whether it was the Champions League corner kick assist to beat Barcelona, or his threatening cross, Chen Yufeng was deeply impressed.
This is a very important point in the Liverpool squad later, that is, the defensive ability is too weak.
Someone once ridiculed Alexander-Arnold, who is worth 50 million euros, 80 million in attack, and 30 million in defense.
It can be seen from this that he has a strong offensive and defensive attributes.
And this skill, Chen Yufeng actually likes it.
Beckham's crosses are mainly high balls, curling balls, creating chances for headers or volleys.
Trent Alexander-Arnold's low-level sweeping crosses can often unleash tremendous force in an instant, crossing the opponent's entire small penalty area and creating absolute opportunities to push and eat.
It's a dangerous ground cross skill!
"Now it's Qi Huo, don't come to cross skills later." A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yufeng's mouth.
In his mind, with David Beckham's high ball cross and Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross, his crossing ability is almost top-notch.
This will greatly improve his ability to create dangerous chances and increase his assist rate!
It's not just about scoring goals on the football pitch, sometimes it's nice to have amazing assists and help teammates score goals.
Of course, if Chen Yu is allowed to choose, he still prefers a hearty hat-trick.
…………
The next day, Chen Yufeng, who rarely ushered in a holiday, received an invitation from Mahrez again and asked him to go out for afternoon tea together.
Mahrez was in a hurry on the other side of the phone, saying that Mr. Ranieri had something urgent to tell him and wait, so that he must come over.
But how could Chen Yufeng not guess that this might be Ms. Taylor, who had invited him before......
He still went today, and it was a beautiful thing to have an afternoon tea with this Grammy diva on this sunny French afternoon.
After coming to a designated café in Bordeaux and telling the waiter about the place he had booked, Chen Yufeng walked over.
"Yufeng?"
"Is it the one who scored a hat-trick in Belgium's last game?"
"It seems to be him, it must be!"
"I didn't expect him to come here, give me my phone!"
There was a commotion in the café, and Chen Yufeng soon saw four or five people dressed as fans standing up and coming to his side.
"Can I take a picture with you?" Said a fan wearing a Hungarian jersey.
"Of course."
Chen Yufeng dodged at first, thinking that the fan was coming up to attack him, but he smiled awkwardly after finding out that it was a group photo.
Then, he completed many fan photo autograph requests, and finally walked into a box.
Sure enough, as he expected, there were shadows of Mahrez and Mr. Ranieri in the box, but Taylor Swift's figure appeared here.
"It's so hard to make an appointment that I have to cheat." Taylor Swift made a gesture of invitation, smiling and motioning for Chen Yufeng to sit down first.
She is wearing an old money style white shirt today, black hot pants covering her hips, and a classic jazz hat, which looks very elegant and clean overall, and with her pale blonde hair and beautiful red lips, it brightens up a little texture.
"It's just that the competition task is too tight, and today is a holiday." Chen Yufeng smiled and sat down across from Taylor.
"You mean you guessed it was me?" Taylor Swift raised an eyebrow.
"Yes."
Receiving this reply, Taylor Swift didn't act too surprised, but leaned closer and smiled: "It seems that you are still very experienced in this area, and it is not in vain that you are so old." ”
"Of course you can't compare." Chen Yufeng shrugged.
"Haha." Taylor smiled, pointed to the dessert platter in front of him, and asked, "Would you like some?" Or what kind of coffee drink? Today I have a treat. ”
"I want it myself, I don't need desserts, I don't like sweets very much." Chen Yufeng called the waiter, ordered a cup of lemon tea, and didn't ask for anything else.
During the critical period, it is better to pay attention to your health and not to touch too many drinks and high-calorie foods.
That could lead to a dip in his form.
Taylor Swift kept looking at him on the other side, and Chen Yufeng, who was looking at him, felt a little uncomfortable, turned his head and asked, "Is there something wrong with Miss Taylor calling me over?" ”
"No, it's just a date."
Taylor Swift shrugged his shoulders and smiled generously, "I haven't had the experience of dating a football player yet, so I'd love to experience it." ”
"Gain experience?" Chen Yufeng teased, turned his head to take the lemon tea from the waiter's hand, thanked him and drank it.
"It's just a special feeling, it's amazing."
Taylor Swift ate a piece of cake with a lot of cream left on his red lips and continued, "Guess where I got the idea to go to Belgium." ”
After seeing Chen Yufeng shake her head, she pointed to the coffee shop across the street.
That's exactly where Chen Yufeng and Lukaku went last time.
"Is it there?" Chen Yufeng smiled, "That's a coincidence." ”
"Of course, after more than 10 days of watching the game, I found that I have fallen in love with the sport."
Taylor Swift put his hands up with an excited expression, "That feeling of celebrating with the fans is really good and allows me to get in." ”
"Love the sport?"
Chen Yufeng didn't believe it and asked, "What is that offside?" ”
Taylor Swift: "......"
The atmosphere fell into awkwardness for a moment, but then it was drowned out by Taylor's laughter, "You can't test me like this, but I can go home and look into this question." ”
"Hahaha." Chen Yufeng laughed, bullying and bullying beauties like this in his spare time is actually a good adjustment for life.
In any sense, he was a normal man, not a eunuch.
If someone has to say that they are resistant to this time of relaxation, go out for a walk with a world-famous diva singer, or sit down for a cup of afternoon tea, or even in the name of dating.
There are only two possibilities.
The first is that this person is a bit pretending, and the second is that this person is very pretending.
Taylor is indeed a bit of a flower, which even Chen Yufeng, who doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry on weekdays, knows.
But this is not about marriage, why should a person's past be revealed, he has no plans for marriage and love now.
Just stop at the date step.
"Do you want my album?"
Taylor Swift dug out his bag, took out two signed albums from the bag, and handed them to Chen Yufeng.
After a few words, the two of them no longer had the restraint and embarrassment they had when they first met, and they were a little more familiar.
"I don't usually listen to much music, but I can keep it."
Chen Yufeng took the album and opened it, the packaging was still very exquisite, and it was usually very good to put it at home as an ornament.
"Since you guessed that it was me, didn't you prepare a gift for me?" Taylor Swift continued, bringing his head closer to Chen Yufeng.
"I'm just guessing, I'm not sure, am I going to bring a flower to meet with Mahrez and Mr. Ranieri?" Chen Yufeng tactically retreated, picked up the drink and drank it.
After a pause, he asked again, "Aren't you usually busy?" Why Can You Stay Here For So Long? ”
"My life is really full, everything is regular, and I'm used to it."
Taylor Swift opened the conversation, and the two of them felt good sitting here chatting, at least not too awkward, which was actually quite good.
"But sometimes I think, why not take a break and focus on a certain period of interest, to find something new for the repetitive life."
"Of course, this kind of life can't be too long, otherwise I will feel chaotic and feel that everything is out of my control, do you understand what I mean?"
After finishing speaking, she stared at Chen Yufeng, her eyes full of longing, as if she wanted to be understood.
"Yes."
Chen Yufeng nodded and explained: "Your career has been very successful, and you have basically won all the awards you can get. ”
"If we continue, the influence will continue to increase, and the stickiness of fans will be stronger, but there may inevitably be a feeling of repetition."
"Sometimes, you want to have some new fun, but you don't dare to let go of your career for too long, because it's been your life since you were a child, it's a part of your life."
"Yes!" Taylor's eyes lit up, and after shaking off his hand, he happily stretched out his right hand towards Chen Yufeng, as if he had met a confidant.
Chen Yufeng shook her with a smile, felt the coldness in his hand, and said: "For me, in fact, football has become a part of my life since a long time ago, and I can't leave football." ”
"But obviously, the two of us are taking completely different paths, you became famous at a young age, and I am a late bloomer."
"Hahaha." Taylor laughed, his eyes and teeth very good-looking, "But now it seems that you are very close to success, whether it is football or anything else." ”
She has always been a very confident person, which has to do with the success she has had since she was a child, as well as the characteristics of American girls themselves, "After all, very few people will ask me to date twice." ”
"If that's the case, it seems to be."
Chen Yufeng shrugged his shoulders to catch this sentence, and then smiled; "But not for me, I have more to pursue."
"I would love to win all the awards, all the accolades in the world of football."
"It's what I love the most, and if I'm not the most successful one in it, I don't feel like there's any point in doing anything."
Taylor Swift's eyes showed a few hints of appreciation, "But it seems really difficult for athletes to win all the awards?" ”
"And age is also a big problem, I probably know that after people reach the age of 30, many things in the body will decline."
Chen Yufeng first nodded, then shook his head and said, "If something is simple, then it won't become anyone's pursuit." ”
"Then I wish you success."
Taylor Swift stretched out his hand to Chen Yufeng again, and the two shook hands again, and then took two sips of the drink and didn't keep talking.
And as we all know, once the two stop talking on a solo date between men and women, the eyes almost involuntarily glance at each other's lips.
Especially in the case of this positive sitting.
Taylor pursed his lips and looked elsewhere, then turned his head and inhaled, as if to say something, and then pretended to be idle.
Chen Yufeng just kept drinking milk tea, feeling the embarrassment after the atmosphere was immersed, and he had the urge to leave.
There seemed to be something in the way between the two, but it seemed to be able to break open in an instant.
If not, Taylor would not have invited Chen Yufeng to come in the name of dating, and the two would not have talked aimlessly here for so long.
"I may have to leave, thanks for the album."
Chen Yufeng stood up and picked up the album in his hand to signal, "If you can still watch the next game, if I can score a goal, I can promise you a celebration." ”
"Okay, of course I'll come and see."
Taylor nodded, blushing slightly, and stood up as he put on his mask and walked out of the café, putting it down a moment before putting it on.
She came to Chen Yufeng, raised her head and hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to kiss me?" I hope this will be a celebration for me. ”
"Hmm......"
