Chapter 1326 Two years after the end

St. Paul.

The largest city in Brazil and the largest city in the southern hemisphere.

This city has long been famous all over the world. Tourists from all over the world can be seen everywhere in this city, and the people here are used to it.

This time, though, the odds of seeing black-haired and yellow-skinned East Asians on the streets of São Paulo are higher than ever.

Even though Brazil is a country with more than 140 million Japanese immigrants and their descendants, it is rare to see such densely populated East Asian faces in one city.

And these people are not Japanese, they are Chinese.

They wear red or white Chinese team jerseys and five-star red flags.They are fans of the Chinese team and media reporters from China.

The reason why there are so many Chinese fans flocking to this city is very simple, because their national team has reached the World Cup finals for the second time in history, and the first group match of the Chinese team was held at the Sao Paulo Arena in Sao Paulo, and the Chinese national team chose Sao Paulo as their pre-World Cup training ground.

Of course, they chose Sao Paulo as their training ground not just because their first World Cup group match was played in Sao Paulo, but there is actually another reason.

※※※

Outside the hotel where the Chinese team stayed, many fans and reporters from China gathered.

The fans hope to get autographed photos of the players of the Chinese team, while the reporters want to get some news materials.

Whether it is a fan or a reporter, there is only one person at the top of their target list, that is, the captain of the Chinese national team, the number one star of the Chinese team, and the well-deserved core -- Rong Guang.

Fans want his autograph, and it would be even better to have a photo with him.

Reporters want to get his picture, where he goes and what he does on his rare days off.

Today is the rest day of the Chinese team during the training camp in Brazil. There is no training arrangement for the whole day.

It is a rare opportunity for the team to rest during the intense preparations, allowing the players to fully relax.

Many players choose to travel together and go shopping.Of course, some players chose to stay in the hotel and sleep in or something.

Reporters and fans have already photographed several groups of Chinese international footballers going out.

But among these people, there is not the glory they most want to see.

On this rare rest day, did Rong Guang choose to rest in the hotel?
Reporters and fans were a little disappointed.

Reluctantly, the reporter directly tipped the hotel doorman and asked him if he saw Rong Guang go out.

The doorman's answer surprised and delighted the reporters.

"Yes, I saw him go out early in the morning." The doorman who counted the money nodded and replied.

out?
A group of reporters were surprised, they didn't see Rong Guang go out at all!
Did he go out by the back door?
But the doorman also said that he went out early in the morning, maybe he went out very early?
Now that he was out, where did the glory go?
A reporter asked the doorman Rong Guang how he got there, and whether he was a hotel car.

But the doorman told them that Rong Guang didn't call a car from the hotel, but a car came to pick him up directly.

All the clues were broken, and no one saw how Rong Guang went. Even if he knew which direction he was going, it was useless, because St. Paul is so big and the roads extend in all directions. Even if he headed west at the beginning, is his destination sure to be west?
I don't know where Rongguang went, and I don't know what Rongguang is doing, so the reporters and fans who have nothing to do start guessing what Rongguang is doing.

"He used to play football in Sao Paulo. He must have many friends in Sao Paulo. He must have gone to see old friends..."

This is what everyone thinks is most likely.

※※※

It is winter in São Paulo, Brazil, in May, but it doesn't feel cold at all.Everywhere is green, especially in the cemetery.

No matter how difficult a person's life is when they are alive, people always seem to hope that they can live better after death. The place where they "live" should have beautiful mountains and clear waters, like a paradise on earth.

Just looking at the scenery, the cemetery is like a park, and the tombstones of various shapes are like sculpture decorations in the park.

Rong Guang stood in front of an inconspicuous and small tombstone, and beside him was the six-year-old Rong Guang.

Deborah was squatting in front of the tombstone, fiddling with a bouquet of flowers.

The reporters guessed right, Rong Guang really went to see an old friend.

After arranging the bouquet, Deborah got up.

"Dad, I'm here to see you."

"Gordo, I've come to see you."

Glory looked back at his father and mother, and then asked, "What should my name be? Mom?"

Deborah patted his head lovingly, and said softly, "It's Grandpa."

"Grandpa, I'm here to see you!" Glory said loudly, even startling the birds on the tree not far away.

※※※

"Six!" Zhang Shunfa, who was guarding his small supermarket, suddenly shouted to the back.

"Dad, did you call me?" Soon a person came out from the back room, it was his son.

"Have you packed your things?"

Zhang Shunfa's son was at a loss: "Things? What are you packing?"

"What are you talking about? Our luggage for going to Brazil to watch the game!" Zhang Shunfa stared.

Hearing what his father said, the son held his forehead weakly: "Dad... what date is it today?"

"Number 25, what's the matter?"

"What month?"

"Are you living in a muddle? May!" Zhang Shunfa raised his voice and shouted.

"That's it! May 25th! Today is May 25th, the opening game of the World Cup in Brazil is June 20th, and our national team's first game is June [-]th! There are still more than [-] days, you want me to pack up now?"

Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I don't know how to prepare in advance? We are going to stay in Brazil for a month, how many things do we need to bring? Why don't you pack it up first, and wait until the day before departure? Hurry up!"

"Stay in Brazil for a month? Dad, do you think we can still reach the final?" The son was surprised.

"Why not? We have glory!"

Zhang Shunfa said the word "Rongguang" very emphatically, as if this is not a simple name of a person, but an exclusive noun with a very special meaning.

The specific interpretation of this term is the confidence in realizing good wishes.

In Zhang Shunfa's heart, with glory, anything is possible, everything is possible.

When Deborah greeted her father, Rong Guang stood behind her.

When Deborah finished speaking, she looked back at Rong Guang: "Do you want to say something?"

"Of course." Rong Guang nodded.

Deborah made a "you come" gesture.

But Rong Guang didn't step forward, but said to Deborah: "Take the child and wait for me outside."

Deborah was very surprised: "Why?"

"I want to have a few private words with your father." Rong Guang said.

"I can't even listen?" Deborah asked back.

"Well, you can't listen either." Rong Guang nodded and said, his tone was firm and unquestionable.

Deborah recalled that a long time ago, her father had just passed away, and she ran into Rong Guang here who also came to visit her father.

Rong Guang also kicked her out at that time because he had something to say to her father.

Deborah still doesn't know what Rong Guang said to her father.

At that time, the relationship between her and Rongguang was still relatively stiff, so she understood Rongguang's reluctance to speak in front of her.But now that the two of them even have children, why are they still playing such childish ways?

Deborah rolled her eyes, then held Glory's hand: "Let's go, Yaoyao, mom will take you out to see butterflies..."

After watching Deborah and Glory leave, Rongguang looked away, looked at Godot's tombstone and said, "I'm back again, Godot. I haven't seen you for a while, how are you? This time, I'm not coming back for vacation, but to participate in the World Cup with the national team. You must have never thought that I could participate in the World Cup, ha..."

※※※

In a temporarily set up studio, three representatives of the Brazilian national team are being interviewed by reporters.The three people sat side by side, and the person sitting in the middle was Neymar, the current popular star of the Brazilian national team. He has left Santos and is now playing for La Liga giants Barcelona. He is the current No. [-] of the Brazilian national team.

Sitting on the left is the captain of the Brazilian national team and central defender Thiago Silva, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain.

Sitting on the right is Kaka, the former golden boy and core of Brazilian football, and the former No. [-].

Neymar is answering a reporter's question: "...We have the confidence and the obligation to win the World Cup champion in our homeland and bring joy to our people!"

He is no longer the temperless young boy who was beaten by Rong Guang in the Club World Cup. A season of experience in Barcelona and years of core training in the Brazilian national team have given him more maturity and confidence.

Kaka always sat next to him with a smile on his face, looking very peaceful.

Among the reporters, Coelho has gray hair all over his head, but his eyes are always on Kaka.

Can also see Kaka in the World Cup, which really makes Coelho feel unceasingly.

Kaka can reappear in the Brazilian national team, even if he is not wearing No. [-], he is not the core of the team. As long as he can return to the national team to participate in the World Cup, it will be great.

You must know that just three years ago, Kaka's career seemed to have come to an end. What awaited him was either to return to Brazil or go to the United States. Anyway, no matter what the situation was, it was very difficult for the once brilliant Kaka to accept.

Who knew that an unexpected transfer would save Kaka's career instead.

When Kaka first debuted, Coelho was a well-known sports reporter in Brazil. It can be said that he watched Kaka step by step from a boy next door to a world-class superstar.He has experienced every glorious joy and failure pain of manager Kaka together.

Therefore, although Neymar is popular now, in Coelho's heart, his feelings for Kaka are still deeper.

Neymar finally finished answering his question and Coelho raised his hand.

The press officer of the Brazilian national team clicked on him: "Mr. Coelho from Lance."

Coelho stood up and looked at Kaka and said: "Kaka, we all know that your performance in the past few seasons has been stable and very good. You once said that being able to participate in the World Cup held in your home country is your greatest wish. Is this the motivation to keep you in good form?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Kaka following Coelho's question, and even the two teammates sitting next to him also looked over.

Under everyone's gaze, Kaka smiled slightly and said, "Yes, being able to participate in the World Cup held in my country has been my goal for so many years. But when it comes to motivation... In fact, there is another motivation. I made an appointment with someone, and we must fight again in the World Cup."

Coelho asked, "Is that person...Rong?"

Kaka smiled and said nothing.

Rong Guang stood in front of Godot's tombstone, but his eyes turned to the direction where Deborah left.

Deborah has walked out of the cemetery with glory, but now she cannot be seen, only the lush green woods and the tombstones hidden in the forest.

This is a cemetery, not many people come, very quiet.

Apart from the occasional chirping of birds, there will be no other sounds.

Rong Guang withdrew his gaze and looked at Gordo's tombstone again.

He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and didn't make a sound right away.

He seemed to be thinking about what to say.

After thinking about it for about ten seconds, he said to Godot's tombstone: "Gordo, there is something I think I have to tell you. After all, I may have to call you 'Papa' in the future... Well, it is like this. Yaoyao is getting bigger and bigger, and now Deborah and I are not even husband and wife. No... so I figured it out, after the World Cup is over, I'm going to propose to Deborah, I'm going to marry her."

When Rong Guang said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "I haven't told her about it yet, and I don't know if she will agree...Anyway, we have lived under the same roof for so many years. I have observed it, and I think...She shouldn't hate me, right? Well...That's it, that's it, I've finished. Then...Goodbye, Godot.

Rong Guang waved to Godot's tombstone, turned around, and walked outside.

He found Deborah who was observing flowers with her son Glory outside the cemetery.

"It's over?" Deborah stood up and looked at Rong Guang and asked.

Rong Guang nodded: "Yes."

"What did you talk about?" Deborah looked at Rong Guang and asked.

Under her gaze, Rong Guang looked away guiltily and looked at Rong Guang.

"secret."

Then he reached out and touched Glory's head: "Let's go, take me back to the hotel, it's time for me to return to the team."

"Forget it..." Deborah curled her lips and picked up Glory. "We're going home, Yaoyao."

"What about Dad?" Glory stood up and looked up at Rongguang.

"Daddy's going back to the team," Deborah said.

"Ah..." Obviously, Glory was very disappointed. "Then when can I see Dad again?"

"Well... wait until dad competes." Rong Guang patted Rong Guang's head. "Come and cheer on Dad when the time comes, okay?"

"it is good!"

"Let's go." Rong Guang put his hand on Rong Guang's head, Deborah led him on the other side of Rong Guang, and the three of them walked out.

In the quiet cemetery, the breeze blows, and in front of Godot's tombstone, the flowers placed by Deborah are blown by the wind and sway gently.
