Fox in the Penalty Area

"Brother Huan and Hu Lai had dinner together again. As a Chinese fan studying in Europe, it was really full of happiness to see two Chinese players meet in the European arena and sit down to have dinner together after the game!"

"I am a Madrid Kings fan. I just hope that in the last round of the league, 'Brother Huan' can also treat Hu to dinner and let Hu help the Kings stop Catalonia United! Then I don't care about him helping the Pirates defeat us!" "

"Catalan United: ???Are you polite?"

"Hahaha! Sure enough, there are still people who remember the murder caused by that meal!"

"I asked why Catalonia was tied with Pamplona in this round of the league. It turned out that Zhang invited Hu to dinner again! Zhang, well done! Respect from a Madrid Pirates fan."

Yong Jun looked at the enthusiastic reply to the tweet showing Zhang Qinghuan and Hu Lai taking a photo in the restaurant, and sighed regretfully:

"Oh, what a pity! If I had come back a day earlier, I could have caught up with you two for the dinner..."

He returned to China some time ago, not only for work matters, but also to have a good reunion with his family. Since joining Song Jiajia's Champion Legend Sports Agency Co., Ltd., he has spent most of the year in Europe, inevitably spending less time with his family.

This time, I also thought that Zhang Qinghuan's life in Spain was gradually getting on the right track, and he didn't need to be by his side all the time, so he stayed in the country a little longer.

"That's what I said, Uncle Yong...but you didn't just know that Hu Lai and I were getting together."

"Hey...our girl insists that I stay with her for a few more days..."

"It's right to spend more time with your family. If my mother hadn't refused to come to Spain, I would definitely have taken her here."

"I went back to see your mother this time. Her health is much better than before... Don't worry, your great-aunt is here."

Since Lao Zhang's sudden death, the person Zhang Qinghuan is closest to in the world is his mother. My mother was not in good health and had been recuperating at home for several years.

It is normal for Zhang Qinghuan to worry about her mother who is far away in China.

As his agent, in order to allow Zhang Qinghuan to play football in Spain with peace of mind, he must also take good care of his family.

Not to mention that the two families already have a very good relationship.

So when Yong Jun came to Spain to accompany Zhang Qinghuan,

He specially told his wife to take care of Zhang Qinghuan's mother from time to time, so as not to know anything.

"I know, thank you for the hard work, Auntie Zeng. Does Auntie Zeng still like that LOEWE bag?"

"What do you mean, isn't it the right thing to take care of your mother? And you also give her things..."

"Hey, I didn't give it because of this. Aunt Zeng is my elder. Isn't it normal for me to give gifts to my elders?"

When Yong Jun heard what Zhang Qinghuan said, he smiled and shook his head. Then he saw Zhang Qinghuan take out a familiar jersey.

"Where did you get the Flash Star jersey?"

"It's also a gift. A gift from a fan."

"A gift from the fans? Will Saria fans give you the jersey of the Chinese team as a gift?" Yong Jun found it incredible.

"Not a Sarria fan, but a Chinese fan. He brought it to me from China."

"Hey, it's a human body? But why is it a Flashing Star jersey? There are many Chinese fans who give you gifts, right? This is the first time I've seen a Flashing Star jersey..."

Zhang Qinghuan suddenly turned around and smiled at Yong Jun: "You also know the gift-giver, Uncle Yong."

Yong Jun's eyes widened: "I know him too? Who is he?"

"That little nurse."

Yong Jun not only widened his eyes this time, but also opened his mouth.

He was stunned at first, then frowned and looked at Zhang Qinghuan: "Fuck, how much plot did I miss when I returned to China?"

"What the hell?"

Yong Jun shook his head: "This is really surprising. I thought the little nurse had already received the lunch..."

"Uncle Yong, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing. Have you met?"

"We met. Just today, she squatted outside the training base to sign autographs for me. I signed her autograph and even took a photo with her."

"That's when she gave you the jersey?"

"No. She gave it to me through the hotel before our game against the Buccaneers."

Yong Jun picked up the Shining Star jersey from Zhang Qinghuan and looked at it.

"It's not this year's model," he said.

There is a shield with a golden dragon surrounding a column on the right sleeve of the jersey, which is the logo of the defending champion. Only the league champions are eligible to add this armband to their jersey sleeves for the new season.

Zhang Qinghuan nodded and said: "It is the 2025 season model."

"It's the defending champion's model...it's really thoughtful. It's indeed a good gift. Keep it well. This is my heartfelt wish." Yong Jun handed the jersey back to Zhang Qinghuan.

Zhang Qinghuan took it, hung it on a hanger, and put it in the closet.

He actually owns this same jersey.

But it was placed at home in the capital and was not brought to Spain.

The two of them looked at the jersey hanging in the closet at the same time, and then Yong Jun said: "Sure enough, this jersey is of great significance to you."

Zhang Qinghuan turned to look at him.

Under his gaze, Yong Jun continued: "Although you debuted in Tenglong, we all know that Flashing Star is the starting point of your story."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Flashing Star is the starting point of many people's stories."

"Ha, yes. It really makes me feel nostalgic... Occasionally I still think of the past when you two lived together in that big house. It's a pity that I can't go back."

"It's okay if we can't go back, Uncle Yong. We have to move forward to have hope. If we stay in the villa in Jincheng all the time, our little life will be happy, but what's the point?"

"Yeah, what's the point? You've really grown up now..."

Hearing Uncle Yong's words, Zhang Qinghuan didn't answer, just stared at the red jersey in front of him in trance.

※※ ※

Sun Juan stared at the photo of herself and Zhang Qinghuan on her phone in trance. She had been looking at it for almost five minutes.

Thanks to the little feature of the phone that keeps watching, she doesn't have to unlock the phone screen every fifteen seconds during these five minutes.

Her emotions will not be interrupted frequently.

She commissioned a Chinese fan to take this photo for her.

I took two pictures at that time.

I took two pictures just in case if I didn't get it right, I still have backup photos.

As a result, her good luck this time seemed to have been exhausted when she was recognized by Zhang Qinghuan. In these two photos, she had her eyes closed.

Maybe it was because of nervousness, or maybe because of excitement... In short, she blinked once at the two moments when the photographer pressed the shutter.

So the first photo taken with Zhang Qinghuan in her life left a huge flaw.

When she saw the final photo for the first time, she almost cried. She even tried to make a pair of open eyes for herself in the photo.

But it's a pity that she majored in medical care, not photo retouching.

After working on it for a long time, it made her look even weirder in the photo. People would probably say that even the group photo was fake. She had never taken a photo with Zhang Qinghuan at all.

So in the end Sun Juan gave up, accepted her fate, and lay down.

Forget it, this is the photo of me and Qing Huan, I recognized it even if I didn’t open my eyes!

It’s better than not even having a photo together, right?

Maybe it was a matter of mentality. After Sun Juan accepted this reality, looking at the photos, she no longer felt any regrets.

On the contrary, I feel happy inside. No matter what, this is the closest I have ever been to him!

And he also received a gift from me.

The most important thing is... he recognized me, he still remembers me, even if he is no longer in Flash Star, he still remembers me!

Sun Juan, Sun Juan, you are such a lucky person!

There will be no regrets on this trip to Barcelona!

As a nurse who takes rotational leave, Sun Juan actually does not have such a long vacation.

The reason why she was able to take leave to come to Barcelona was because of the special care of the head nurse. Knowing that she really liked Zhang Qinghuan, she helped to cover her shift and freed up a few more days for Sun Juan so that she could fly to far away places. Barcelona to make your wish come true.

Take a photo like this next to the person in your mind.

Thinking of this, Sun Juan cast her gaze out of the plane's window.

Outside the window is a bright starry sky.

At this time, she was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, crossing the Mediterranean Sea.

This reminded her of how she was flying under the vast starry sky when she came here.

The lights in the cabin were turned off, leaving only a faint glow.

She pressed her face against the porthole glass, looked out at the starry sky, and saw a meteor suddenly streaking across the sky in the distance, flying towards the direction of the Iberian Peninsula behind her.

Sun Juan followed the direction of the meteor and tried to look behind her.

Meteor, meteor, you fly from the depths of the distant universe, you rush into the atmosphere covered with stars and the moon, burning and glowing...are you just for this moment?

If so, then you must be happy when you burn out, right?

The dark night outside the window turned the glass into a mirror, reflecting the smiling face of the little nurse on the stars.

"Juan'er, how was your trip to Barcelona this time? Did you get what you wanted?"

"My wish came true, my wish came true. Thank you Sister Ma, I even got a photo with him, hehe!"

"A group photo? Come and show me... Ouch, what did you take in this photo? Why are they all with their eyes closed? Oops... these are the only two? Didn't you take a few more? You didn't even take the photo after all. Would you like to check it out? It’s such a shame, right?”

"It's okay, Sister Ma..."

"How could it be okay? This is your first time going abroad in your life, right? It took a long time to go, but the most important group photo was not taken. It feels like you went in vain!"

"It's not in vain, Sister Ma. And the most important thing is not to take a photo."

"What's that?"

"The most important thing is that I did go to Barcelona, ​​I did see him, and I really stood next to him! Everything about this is real. What does it matter if the photo is not taken well?"
