ball at foot

"A cup of latte, no sugar, I want a bunny-shaped latte art."

Alizee ordered coffee to the waiter, and then cast her eyes on Zhao Yaning.Although Zhao Yaning didn't know what she was thinking, but she looked over and swallowed, "A cup of black coffee."

Such a request made Alizee curl her lips. At this time, she only drinks black coffee. This kid really lacks sentimentality.

"Is there anything?" Zhao Yaning asked immediately when he saw the waiter leave.

"I should ask you this." Alizee fiddled with some hair, paused, saw that Zhao Yaning was silent, and then continued, "It's been a long time since the World Cup ended, but I haven't heard from you. Mary I think you and your agent must be thinking about something bad. So, she was afraid that what you did would damage the company's image, and she was always afraid, so she begged me to come and ask you. Now please tell me, your conspiracy What is it?"[

conspiracy?Zhao Yaning shook his head.He himself definitely didn't have any conspiracy. When he got home, he was with Beibei every day. The name Alizee had long been forgotten by him, and he didn't bother to think about it.And after returning to France, he didn't have much time to think about these things. The time before the start of the season is the busiest period for the team. He is a new member of the team and a new move. How can he have the time and mood to think about other things? ?The name Alizee had long been forgotten by him.

If Alizee hadn't come to the door today, he would have almost forgotten about this person.Zhao Yaning has always been a very realistic, or very short-sighted person. Since Beibei was with him every day during that time, how could he still have time to think about other women?

"Is it because you don't have any conspiracy, or do you not want to tell me?" Alizee pouted, "I don't like boys who lie, you'd better tell the truth."

"Miss Alizee, I have already forgotten about that matter. I am also responsible for that matter, so let's forget about that bet, okay? I have no conspiracy, and Zhang Yuan will not hold grudges against the little girl Even if he still has any ideas, I will persuade him to give up. Even if that matter is over, we will go our separate ways, okay?"

Zhao Yaning has no interest in fulfilling his bet.It doesn't matter whether the wager is fulfilled in any form.And he believes that Zhang Yuan, like him, will not pursue women's responsibilities-although saying this is somewhat patriarchal, but Zhao Yaning has always believed that making promises and keeping words is a matter between men, and women It's good to be willing to keep your promise, and you will give him a thumbs up when you meet him, but if you don't want to keep your promise, there is nothing to complain about.Take a verbal agreement to ask the little girl for an account, no matter what the effect is, Zhao Yaning is not that kind of person and can't do that kind of thing.

But Alizee didn't believe his words. Holding her coffee, she looked at Zhao Yaning carefully, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Miss Alizee, do you have anything else to do?"

"I don't believe what you say." Alizee put down the coffee cup and raised her eyebrows. "If you think that this kind of words can make me fall in love, you're too stupid."

Zhao Yaning repeatedly smiled bitterly, not knowing how to explain it.

"You must have something in mind." Alizee looked at Zhao Yaning and continued.If Zhao Yaning is smart enough, he can even hear it. Those words are no longer guesses, but a kind of persuasion.

"Miss Alizee, as I said, I have a girlfriend. I'm not interested in you, and I really don't have any bad ideas."

Zhao Yaning's words only got Alizee to roll her eyes, "Lie, you obviously like me. I can tell that every time you meet me, you look at me wrongly."

It's uncomfortable to have the secrets in my heart revealed, especially for such a deep-seated matter that I only vaguely understand, but the other party directly explains it. He hesitated to speak, unable to make a sound.He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

"You boys are all fools. You all think that you can pretend to be serious, pretend to be free and easy, and girls will be deceived. In fact, smart girls know everything. You look like that. It's ridiculous, we just don't say it, we just play this game with you." Alizee waved her fingers proudly, "Don't try to lie to me, it's not in your interest."

I don't like you - Zhao Yaning wanted to say that.But looking at Alizee's proud and confident eyes, he couldn't say that.What's the point in deceiving yourself?Especially after being exposed by others, it would be futile to provoke ridicule if you refused to admit it.

"Yes, Miss Alizee, I did have a crush on you, I'm sorry. It's just that you are beautiful, sexy, and attractive. I think my feelings for you are not true feelings, and the person I like is not you .”

It's not bad to break the word... It would be even better if she didn't hold a coffee cup in her hand. At this time, Zhao Yaning was really worried about being splashed with coffee and called a hooligan.

"You don't need to apologize, it's never wrong to praise me for being beautiful. Also, call me Lily, I told you." Alizee was very satisfied with this answer, "This time you are honest enough, very good. I like honest boys."

Zhao Yaning wanted to say something, but was immediately stopped by Alizee with a gesture, "Listen to me. Actually, while you have a crush on me, I also like you a little bit." [

Zhao Yaning frowned, Alizee’s joke seemed a bit cold...

"I'm not joking, I'm telling the truth." Alizee saw Zhao Yaning's distrust—in fact, she didn't believe her own words, but she saw that the boy on the opposite side was not immediately happy when she heard her confession Confused, she felt slightly annoyed, "What I said is true."

Zhao Yaning still refused to believe it.It's not that he doesn't have self-knowledge, so he certainly doesn't believe it.

This woman must be thinking of something bad.

Although Zhao Yaning doesn't think he has any capital to be calculated by others, who can tell what a woman's mind is?What if Alizee is narrow-minded?

"What exactly do you want?" Zhao Yaning thought for a long time, but couldn't think of what she wanted to do, so he could only ask directly.

"I think we should get to know each other better." Alizee looked serious, "Then let's make sure that our relationship is serious. Maybe after you get to know me, you realize my beauty, no Maybe I would like to go back to your old girlfriend. And it is also possible that after I get to know you, I think you are just a silly old man with no connotation, and I will lose interest in you. But before that , When we didn't know each other well, you said that you would definitely not fall in love with me, isn't it too hasty? You should know that I am a very cute girl. "

I've never seen you so thick-skinned... Besides, why is there a strange aura in everything about this matter?

Zhao Yaning didn’t know what went wrong, but he knew very well that he was definitely not the hero that everyone loved in the novel. He was handsome and devoid of conscience. A wink can attract women to come out, not to mention that I haven't even thrown a wink.Zhao Yaning is very aware of his looks. Although he is not ugly, he is definitely not a handsome guy.In the general environment of the football team, he can be regarded as an upper-middle class person, but compared with those men who really rely on their looks for their food, their looks are really average.He himself didn't believe that he could attract girls.The problem is definitely not her own, so what exactly is Alizee trying to do?What is her purpose?

Zhao Yaning was very curious, but he didn’t dare to ask.It's not always good not to ask about girls' affairs, and random questions will cause problems.Although Zhao Yaning doesn't understand women, he still knows this principle during the long-distance love race with Beibei.Girls don't want to say anything, no matter how much they ask, it's useless, they can always find a reason to fool them.Anyway, acting like a baby and pretending to be stupid is their prerogative, it's too easy for them to deceive people.If you really want to know her purpose, then you should listen.

"Then, let's get to know each other better now." Alizee snapped her fingers, "I've never seen you mention my song. Don't you like it? Or do you not understand? Now you can enjoy Ask me all questions about my songs, and I'll answer them all."

Zhao Yaning looked up at her, wanting to fool her directly, but he was very interested in seeing her, and couldn't bear to lie to her.

"I don't like listening to your songs." Zhao Yaning hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "Those songs sound very vulgar, very coquettish, like a kind of intentional show of favor. I don't know why you look like that song, but I don't think you're that kind of person."

Zhao Yaning's words stunned Alizee.She wanted to say these words a long time ago, but because of her contract and her identity, she dared not say these words.And the people around her...

Maybe they can all see it, but who is willing to provoke Marlene Famo, saying that such an image is not suitable for Alizee?

"Do you know, that is the image Marlene Farmer personally created for me? The song I chose? What is her status in the music industry, don't you know?"

Alizee's questioning made Zhao Yaning flustered, but he calmed down before speaking.

"I don't know what you said, I'm just talking about the facts." Zhao Yaning scratched his head, facing Alizee's aggressiveness, he didn't know how to explain, "I have been in contact with you a few times, and I think your temper It's very cheerful and optimistic. I don't know how to describe it, but you give me the feeling that you are a thriving person, and the songs you sing are not like you. I don't know Marlene Farmer What is the status in the music industry? I just think that for music, it is good to sing out your true feelings. Blindly imitating others, even a great musician is meaningless.”

Alizee looked at Zhao Yaning and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Did I say something wrong?" Zhao Yaning was a little puzzled, "If I said something wrong, don't worry about it. I don't know music, and what I said is my own theory. Anyway, I think everyone is unique. There is no need to blindly imitate others. Just like I am playing football now, although I also know that Qi Zu plays well, but if Qi Zu said he chose me as his successor, I will definitely not think so. We play football The styles and innate conditions are completely different, and there must be differences in the way of playing. It is not good to learn him blindly. I think you are the same, thinking that there is no need to learn from others. After all, you have to have something of your own.”

Alizee looked at Zhao Yaning, without saying a word in a daze.

"What did I say wrong?" Zhao Yaning was even more puzzled. [

"Unexpectedly, there are so many music media, and music masters are not as knowledgeable as a football player."

Alizee sighed, and there was something different in the eyes looking at Zhao Yaning.

Is it love?Alizee didn't know either.How can someone who has never loved know what love is like?But at this time, she had a faint feeling: this person understands herself, if she misses it, she won't be able to find it.

Handsome boys, humorous boys, and romantic boys can make you happy.But that kind of happiness is completely different from my current happiness.In this world, there may be many handsome romantic boys, but there are too few who can understand themselves through singing and dare to speak out.

"Why, you just play football?" Alizee was slightly ashamed, but didn't know how to speak.

Just now, the little girl who was still full of thoughts about how to seduce the other party, after a single thought, became out of her mind.

"I don't know music, but at least I know what is good and what is bad. You are a very nice girl, but you dance that kind of messy dance, which looks very awkward. Every time I see you dancing, and then When I think about what kind of person you are, I always feel that it is not from your heart, although you smile very sweetly, but it is definitely not from the heart."

It's really... very arrogant, but it's also very sincere.

"I am now learning to play football with the coach. The coach told me that no matter how many fake moves, you must not forget what your original purpose is." Zhao Yaning remembered what Coach Petit said, and when he spoke, his tone became more serious. "I don't know much about music, but if you really want to be a good singer, you'd better think about how to show your true self."

That's the advice I want, the friend I want!

While saying this in her heart, Alizee's head drooped even more, and her face turned even redder.

This sudden feeling made her a little overwhelmed.

"I know what you think of me. I still have a few songs that have not been released publicly. I will sing them to you some other day." Alizee raised her head, and she couldn't believe what she said , "Tell me about yourself. Tell me about football."

I?Zhao Yaning didn’t know what he had to say, but since Alizee asked, he could only talk about the team.

"We didn't play well last season. I mean Monaco didn't play well, Ajaccio got promoted and of course played well. Monaco were relegation team last season with poor results and the players were not happy. We hope this season won't be the same as last season."

"What do you want? A place in the European competition?"

"We want to win the championship."

Alizee was taken aback by this answer, "League?"

"It's better to have a cup match..."

Alizee looked at Zhao Yaning, and it took him a long time to confirm that this was not a joke.

"You guys really have the guts..."

"Winning or losing is not based on other people's opinions, but on your own ability. If you don't have enough self-confidence and self-knowledge. If you know yourself enough and know your own strength, you will naturally have this kind of courage Zhao Yaning replied, "Our strength is very good. In the environment of Ligue [-], it is definitely possible to win the championship. Last season, we did not play well. There are many reasons. Since we all feel that we Yes, of course we also want to strive for the championship this season.”

If you think you can do it, can you go for it?

Alizee recalled her thoughts again, "But the three champions, don't you think it's too difficult? Haven't you thought about starting from the simple one and taking it little by little?"

Zhao Yaning shook his head, "The coach doesn't want to give up, and I don't think I should give up. The game is something that depends on hard work. Since we are confident that we have no opponents in France, why should we be timid?"

Alizee lowered her head, Zhao Yaning's words once again touched her a lot.Even a group of football players in the relegation team dare to dream of winning all the honors in the country, and as a well-known singer in Europe, I want to change my style, and I have to be timid to play these tricks... Is it too much? Stupid?

After a long time, she spoke again.

"When I first came here, I was thinking of using you."

Zhao Yaning raised his head, he was confused when he heard these words.

"I'm now a contracted employee of Marlene Farmer, and the songs I sing are all chosen by Marlene Farmer. I don't like that kind of song, just like you said, it's not my song." Ai Li Jie paused before continuing, "I originally thought about leaving the company. However, it would be very damaging for a singer to leave his performing arts company, and it may have a devastating impact, so the way I thought of was to find a Boyfriend, then the image that the company created for me will be destroyed, and I can naturally leave the company."

Zhao Yaning couldn't say anything, so he could only listen in a daze.

"The reason I'm looking for you is because you're a player. Marlene Farmer's influence in the music industry is too great, and she has a way to buy people who are not famous people. Only people in the sports world can't get involved. And you It's an Asian, so she won't be able to find you..."

"Your plan is really good." Zhao Yaning could only say with a wry smile.

"It's not a careful plan, it's just a sudden thought." Alizee took a sip of coffee, hiding her embarrassed expression, "But I've changed my mind now."

"why?"

"You're right, the reason I did it was because I didn't have enough confidence in my own songs. I still hope to be opportunistic, hoping to retain my current fame and still sing my own style. On the one hand I hate The songs they gave me, but on the other hand, they don’t want to lose their reputation, just like your football players, but they lack enough self-confidence.”

Alizee shook her head and showed a strange smile, "But now I think about it, I know what I want. I won't do that again, I won't engage in those conspiracies again .”

"It's good that you can understand." Zhao Yaning nodded. Although there was a smile on his face, he was still slightly disappointed in his heart.

"Has anyone ever told you that you can never hide things on your face?" Alizee smiled, "You look very unhappy, and you really want me to use you? Or, to seduce you?"

Zhao Yaning shook his head again and again, how could he admit it?

"You're lying again." Alizee wrinkled her nose, "Your words are lies."

This time it was Zhao Yaning's turn to be speechless.

"I said, I already understand what I want, but you still don't dare to admit what you want." Alizee looked at Zhao Yaning, and put on her usual smile on her face again. Some kind of proud smile, "You know what you think, why don't you dare to say it?"

"What do I want? Champions. Champions of the league, cup, national team, everything. The best is the champion that I can contribute to..."

"I'm not talking about sports, not your career goals. I'm talking about other aspects. You just admitted it just now, do you forget it if you think about it?"

Zhao Yaning blushed, shook his head, and stood up, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you said. I have other things. If you don't have anything else, I'll take a step ahead."

Alizee kept staring at him, with a half-smile and a mocking expression on her face, "Are you timid?"

Zhao Yaning didn't reply, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, stop." Alizee stopped Zhao Yaning, "I just said that I know what I want, and I don't just mean my career pursuit."

Zhao Yaning quickened his pace and fled the cafe, but even after leaving there, his heart was still itchy and a little uneasy.

What's wrong with me?Zhao Yaning secretly scolded himself a few words.When I was with Beibei, I completely forgot about love and understanding, but in the first few days, when I saw a beautiful girl, I couldn't control myself.

I'm not that kind of jerk.I'm not.

But why, there is always Alizee's flamboyant and playful smile in her eyes?
