Chapter 50: Continuous entanglements

After six months of training, Jie Shiyi boarded a plane to Spain alone in October.

On the plane, Jie Shiyi looked out the window at the endless blue sky. He narrowed his blue eyes and stroked the corners of his mouth, lost in the aftertaste.

There was a little light cherry blossom color and a crescent-shaped mark there, which were the marks left by Ikawa Haruka's lipstick and teeth.

Before Jie Shiyi boarded the plane, Ikawa Haruka kissed the corners of his lips under Jie Shiyi's whispered request.

Because Jie Shiyi's parents were all present, Ikawa Haruka originally had a firm attitude of refusal.

Jie Shiyi opened his windbreaker and held her in his arms. It was pitch black inside the coat and only the shallow breathing of the two could be heard.

He approached her like a puppy and kept moving his head forward: "Haruka, can't you kiss me? No one can see it now. If you don't give it to me, I'll have to ask for it myself!"

Ikawa Haruka gritted his teeth in desperation and pushed hard, which made both of them frown.

"Hiss!"

Ikawa Haruka's teeth knocked against Jie Shiyi's mouth. Although the process was tortuous, he still got what he wanted.

Jie Shiyi took off his coat and showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Thank you for the hospitality, I will miss you very much."

After Ikawa Haruka regained his sight, he quickly turned his head to tidy up his appearance. After hearing Jie Shiyi's answer, she whispered: "I will miss you too." As soon as

the voice fell, a chuckle came from above her head.

Ikawa Haruka was embarrassed and pushed Jie Shiyi to the boarding gate: "Okay, we will miss the plane soon, you should leave quickly!"

Jie Shiyi felt cute and happy whenever he thought of Ikawa Haruka dancing with joy at that time.

These joys disappeared when he got off the plane, because in front of him was Caesar with a rose blooming on his neck.

Jie Shiyi looked away with disdain: "Why are you here?" He knew that this guy transferred to real, but he didn't expect to meet him at the airport. He really couldn't figure out why he came to pick him up.

Caesar half-took off his sunglasses and squinted at him: "It's good that someone came to pick you up. If it weren't for Halu, I wouldn't come."

The team originally asked the staff to come. He didn't want to make Ishikawa Haruka worry, so Jie Shiyi volunteered. He even sent a message to Ishikawa Haruka before coming.

Jie Shiyi's face changed immediately when he heard his girlfriend's name, and he took a long step: "Then let's go."

When they arrived at the parking lot, Jie Shiyi knew without asking that the coquettish blue sports car was definitely Caesar's car!

Jie Shiyi flipped into the passenger seat without hesitation, leaning his head back: "Thanks."

Caesar sneered: "You are really rude."

"I heard that you are going to participate in the selection. The teammates of the youth training team here are all very strong. If you are eliminated, you will feel bad."

"Take care of yourself. I am not a regular team member yet."

If Ishikawa Haruka was here, she would definitely say: The two of them are the same, not to mention the eldest brother.

And they are both talking through translators, I don't know what's there to argue about. Take away the translator, and the two of them can't even have a complete conversation.

Caesar is still in the training period, and he should be officially put into use next season. If Jie Shiyi passes the selection this time, it is estimated that he should be put into use at the same time as Caesar or one after the other.

On the day of the selection, Jie Shiyi's Asian face was particularly conspicuous among the foreigners of different skin colors.

Compared with the excellent physique of other races, Jie Shiyi is not outstanding.

His face was calm and his blue eyes contained surging energy.

After experiencing the Blue Prison, the national team, and the World Cup, he did not think that these people in front of him would be better than those at the world level.

To put it in a negative way, aren't Itoshi Sae and Caesar, who lost to them, on the other side of the court now?

Although these two people did not really lose to him, he did not think he would lose to Caesar.

However, the selection was beyond his expectation, and he was playing against the reserve team. It was not a full game in the formal sense, only 30 minutes.

When he saw Itoshi Sae and Caesar on the opposite side, he smiled suddenly.

Can the reserve team of the two of them be compared with the real reserve team?

Then the gold content of this reserve team is too high.

Caesar did not miss the change in Jie Shiyi's eyes. He teased: "Shiyi, it's not too late to admit defeat and quit now."

Jie Shiyi moved his wrist and said lightly: "You are talking about yourself, the naked king."

Except for the two of them, no one present brought a translator.

One spoke German and the other spoke Japanese.

Only Itoshi Sae could understand what Jie Shiyi was saying. From the Japanese, it was known that Caesar was almost certainly provoking Jie Shiyi.

Itoshi Sae was looking forward to the day when he could become a teammate or an opponent with Jie Shiyi. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Jie Shiyi: "You are finally here."

Although Jie Shiyi did not know what he meant, he still stretched out his hand: "Hello, long time no see."

After the friendly opening, the exciting 30-minute time limit match began.

It was very inconvenient for him to communicate with others without speaking the language. Although he had also made up for his English in the previous six months, it had little effect.

Jie Shiyi could only communicate with simple words, and he couldn't understand anything that was said too fast.

The game was only 30 minutes long, so he had to start taking action instead of observing first.

In this very short game, he had to let the coaches notice him.

As usual, Caesar locked him early. While they were entangled, Itoshi Sae had already controlled the field and let the substitute team successfully score a point.

Jie Shiyi now had to find fragments that he could use while dealing with Caesar.

He acted before observing, and at the same time, he needed to observe people who could help him while acting.

Jie Shiyi began to act in an orderly manner after a brown-haired boy received the ball. His actions and eyes attracted the attention of those who agreed to participate in the selection.

After the brown-haired boy passed the ball, Jie Shiyi stopped the action that a black boy was about to receive.

Jie Shiyi shouted: "Stop!"

While shouting, he opened his hands to make a gesture of asking for the ball, and the black boy retracted his foot that was about to block the ball.

The football leaked out from the gap in the substitute's defense, and Jie Shiyi appeared in that blind spot early to wait for the football.

The brown-haired boy and the black boy started to stop Caesar from rushing towards Jie Shiyi, and Caesar would naturally not be stopped by them.

However, those few short seconds were enough.

Jie Shiyi's double-gun volley was kicked forward at this moment, and he did not hesitate to shoot forward at a certain distance from the goal.

When Caesar thought he was going to shoot, he did not expect that he himself began to sprint forward at an unparalleled speed.

Itoshi Sae saw through and chased forward.

Jie Shiyi actually wanted to catch up with his own shot, and the ball turned out to be a rebound pass that looked like a shot.

When Itoshi Sae came in front of the ball, the ball actually bounced back and came in front of Jie Shiyi.

The substitute player slid in the direction of Jie Shiyi, who took the penalty kick with his right foot and shot with his left foot.

Jie Shiyi's performance was wonderful, and the game ended in a score of 1:1.

The players who participated in the selection came forward to hug him, and he shook hands with them with good temper, putting aside the aggressiveness he had during the game.

Caesar and Itoshi Sae stood together, and Caesar poured a bottle of water from head to toe: "You have evolved again, Shiyi."

Itoshi Sae crossed his arms and looked at the boy who was surrounded. Since he had witnessed it with his own eyes after that game, Jie Shiyi's progress was indeed amazing.

Jie Shiyi passed the selection smoothly, and by chance, his dormitory was assigned to the opposite side of Caesar and to the right of Itoshi Sae.

The three of them got together, and the roar of the coach could be heard every day on the real court.

"Caesar, don't compete with Jie!"

"Sai, don't just pass the ball to Jie and Caesar!"

"Forget it, Jie, you come down first!"

The coach was extremely troubled by the three problem children in the team. He didn't know what was wrong with these three people together!

Obviously, Jie Shiyi was fine before he came. Although Caesar was unruly, Sae was a player with no problems except for his sharp tongue. As soon as

Jie Shiyi entered the team, Caesar began to have problems, and Sae also began to pass the ball to Jie and Caesar instead of passing the ball to these two people. What

the coach didn't know was that even if Noah, the world's number one, stood in front of the two, they would still compete.

As for Itoshi Sae, he simply thought that with Caesar and Jie Shiyi, the concept of the team in his mind was already complete.

Because, the two of them were the kind of egoists and scoring forwards that Itoshi Sae wanted.

If these three people were just rebellious, it would be fine. One or two, each one is more venomous than the other. The three of them are talking to each other, which can make people angry to death.

Facing the coach's roar, the three people's reactions were different but roughly the same.

Caesar was unhappy and lifted his bangs, and he closed his beautiful eyes and said indifferently: "I know."

After speaking in English, he complained in German: "You are obviously old, and your hair is Mediterranean, but your voice is as loud as the Mediterranean."

Itoshi Sae sat on a chair and applied moisturizing water to herself. His eyes were dull but he asked the coach seriously: "Didn't we score?"

Although he was serious, there was no coach in his eyes at all. His words revealed: What else do you want?

Jie Shi is a humble angel off the court and a sharp king on the court. He wiped his sweat calmly and his voice was frozen: "I did nothing wrong. Why did you replace me?"

The words were interrogative sentences, but the tone of voice was questioning.

The coach almost couldn't breathe and almost pouted. He said in a deep voice: "Caesar, go to Team B."

The coach was forced to separate the three of them, and then the world was peaceful.

Of course, even if Caesar and Jie became the two sides of the competition, Caesar and Jie would still compete with each other. They are each other's best opponents.

The other players in the reserve team were quite indulgent when facing the three youngest players.

After all, they were the youngest in grade, but their level was very high.

The players were used to the noisy court every day.

On Christmas Day, the staff saw the three people coming forward and said, "There is a courier from a lady named Ishikawa."

Jie Shiyi's eyes lit up instantly and he quickly said, "Is it for me!"

The staff smiled and said, "It's for Caesar, but there is a bouquet of irises from this lady Ishikawa for you."

The eyes that were originally lost and gray when he knew it was not for himself were filled with stars after hearing the second half of the sentence. They went to the security booth together to sign for it.

When Caesar heard that it was for him, he was a little at a loss and a little happy.

Jie Shiyi happily returned to the room holding the bouquet of irises blooming in the vast snow, and Caesar also silently put the gift into his coat pocket and returned to the dormitory.

Caesar sat on the bed and took out the gift box, which was neither big nor small. He slowly opened it and found a pair of cufflinks

engraved with rose thorns. On the back of the cufflinks was a card:

[Happy birthday Michelle, I hope you find love in the new year.]

Caesar placed the cufflinks and the card next to the blue everlasting rose. This was a gift he received from two women who were very important to him.

One was his mother who gave birth to him but abandoned him; the other was his first friend.

As early as yesterday, Jie Shiyi and he had a video call with Ishikawa Haruka.

Together, they sent birthday wishes to Ishikawa Haruka, who was far away in Japan for Christmas and birthday.

Caesar stood beside Jie Shiyi awkwardly. Although his expression was cold, his voice was gentle: "Happy birthday."

Apart from this sentence, the rest of the time he was listening to Jie Shiyi chattering about his thoughts to Ishikawa Haruka.

Caesar didn't expect Ishikawa Haruka to know his birthday, nor did he expect her to send him a gift across the earth.

He lay on the bed and looked at the gifts on the shelf next to the desk from time to time, as if receiving gifts was not so annoying.
