Chapter 26 The First Arrival in Kiev A Heavy Snowfall

"Mr. Lobarov",
In the dark, Lobarov heard someone calling himself.

After turning on the light.

"Li Qiao's father", what surprised Lobarov even more was that Li Qiao was also on the side.

"Is there a problem"?
"I checked, there is a flight from Shanghai to Kiev in the morning, and it should be too late to leave now."

"What"?Lobarov was surprised.

"I think Li Qiao made the right choice to go with you!"
"But"?
"Are you worried about Juninho?"
Lobarov was silent.

"Hehe, that's why I want you to leave now. Li Qiao told me that Juninho treated him very well. I don't want to hurt him, so I hope you and Li Qiao can leave quietly."

Lobarov was right when he thought about it, and he couldn't figure it out when he was entangled with Juninho, besides, his visa was about to expire.

He looked at Li Shan gratefully.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Joe."

*****
In order to catch the flight, Lobarov didn't take the train, but called a taxi and went straight to Shanghai.

It was still early when we arrived at Shanghai Pudong Airport. Li Qiao looked at the rising sun and felt a little sad. This was the first time in his life to go abroad, and he had to leave for such a long time.

"Joe, let's eat something first."

Lobarov himself ordered coffee and bread.

Li Qiao ordered juice and a bowl of noodles.

"Haha, aren't you a bit reluctant"?
Li Qiao nodded, then shook his head, he knew he should be like a man.

"Good job, if I were you, I would probably cry a lot. I remember when my father took me to Donetsk once when I was a child, I would cry a lot because I left home."

Li Qiao was amused.

Li Qiao thanked his father for his choice. Yes, he did not feel unfamiliar with Lobarov. Lobarov was like a relative, giving people a sense of intimacy.

When the plane was taxiing on the runway, Li Qiao took another look at the horizon of the motherland through the porthole. Li Qiao didn't feel sad. What he was thinking at the moment was that when I come back, you will see a brand new Li Qiao, a successful Li Qiao! ! ! !
*****
Walking out of Kiev Airport, Li Qiao was greeted by heavy snow. In the middle of November, it is still the season to wear unlined clothing in the south of China, and down jackets are already needed here.

Seeing such a heavy snow, Li Qiao was very happy.

"Mr. Lobarov, does it snow so early in Ukraine"?
"No, it's a little earlier this year."

In the Chinese people's mind, snow is a good omen, and auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year, which seems to indicate that Li Qiao's trip to Ukraine has a good start.

It was already 6:[-] in Ukraine. At this point in Kiev this season, it was completely dark.

"Is it cold?" Lobarov held Li Qiao's hand, feeling him trembling.

In fact, on the one hand, it is really cold, the kind of cold that a child who grew up in southern China has never experienced.

The other side is of course excitement, everything around is so different, waiting for Li Qiao to explore.

"Strange boy, you wear more clothes than me."

It is true that Li Qiao has already wrapped up a thick down jacket and a thick sweater inside. These were prepared by Li's mother overnight after hearing that Ukraine was very cold yesterday.

Mother Li didn't know where Ukraine was and what was the climate like?Until Lobarov said that Ukraine is similar to Russia. Mother Li in Russia knew that the winter there was colder than that in the Northeast, so she immediately prepared a lot of thick clothes.

"Son, doesn't it snow in winter in your hometown?"
"Rarely, once or twice a winter."

"Hehe, it often snows here in winter, sometimes for a whole week. Before next March, the whole of Ukraine will be white."

Although he was mentally prepared, Li Qiao was still speechless when he heard this.

"But Joe, don't worry, my house has a big fireplace, which is very warm."

"fireplace"?
Li Qiao seems to have seen it in a movie, "Is it the kind where Santa Claus comes in down the chimney"?
"Haha, yes, Joe, you are very smart".

Li Qiao calculated in his heart that Christmas is still one and a half months away.

"Then can I receive presents for Christmas?"

"Of course you can. When the time comes, let Diana take you to the street. Gifts will be given out in many places, and every year the executives of Dynamo Kiev will come to give gifts to young players."

"It's so cool", Li Qiao thought to himself.

But what Li Qiao is looking forward to more is not the gift, but Diana. Do you still remember that Li Qiao always wanted to have a sister? In Tianbao, Li Qiao regarded "Wang Jie" who was very kind to him as his sister. Since seeing Diana's photo at home that day, Li Qiao has dreamed of Diana for several nights.

Now that he was about to see the real person, Li Qiao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Li Qiao is an only child. He played and lived alone since he was a child, so his desire for brothers and sisters is very strong.

"I don't know if Diana gets along well"?
At this time, Li Qiao was leaning on the window of the taxi while looking at the scenery outside the window, while imagining what it would be like to meet Diana later.

"Should I be more enthusiastic? Or more serious"?
When Li Qiao's thoughts were wandering, suddenly a few children were playing football on a piece of snow under a street lamp.

"Look, Mr. Lobarov".

Lobarov looked in the direction Li Qiao pointed, and found nothing special, that was the most common situation in Ukraine.

This is actually the difference between European children and Chinese children. Chinese children should obediently do their homework at home at this time, while European children just play and play football after school.

"Oh, hehe, Joe, this is very common in Ukraine, it's not cold yet, even in December, they are still like this."

Li Qiao had never played football on snow before, he didn't know what it felt like, but in his imagination, it must be a very cool feeling.

"Europeans really love football",
Lobarov smiled and said: "I believe that in China, it will be like this in the future."

"Really, it is more important for Chinese children to do their homework."

Lobarov laughed out loud, and even the taxi driver was confused by Lobarov's hearty laughter. Maybe it was due to the bold personality of the Ukrainians, so he also laughed and kept saying something, but Li Qiao couldn't understand.

"No, Joe trusts me," Lobarov smiled confidently.

In fact, Lobarov is right. In fact, there are many football talents in any country. What they lack is only a good football atmosphere.

Lobarov believes that as long as Li Qiao succeeds, then he and Li Qiao can become the ones who ignite the atmosphere of Chinese football.

It's just that he can't tell Li Qiao these things for the time being.

*****
The taxi stopped in front of a fence, and the two-story building in the yard could be seen through the fence.

"Wow, Lobarov, your house is so beautiful."

At this time, the snow was a little lighter, and the whole small building and the courtyard were decorated with snow, like a fairy tale world.

"Haha, do you like it"?
Li Qiao nodded desperately, "I like it so much, it's better than in my dream."

"What was your dream like?"
Li Qiao rubbed his head and thought for a while, "I don't know, it's far worse than here anyway."

Just as the two of them were walking on the corridor in the yard, singing came from the house, very similar to the Russian style.

Li Qiao was mesmerized when he heard it, "Is that your daughter?"
"Yes, it's Diana."

"Good to hear".

*****
Lobarov knocked on the door, and a middle-aged woman came out. Li Qiao looked at her, except for a little wrinkle, she should be considered a middle-aged beauty.

"Joe, this is my wife Eva".

Eva doesn't speak Chinese, so she just smiled at Li Qiao very friendly.

"Hello, Eva," Li Qiao said, bowing to Eva while speaking.

At this moment, two snow-white hands had quietly wrapped Lobarov's neck from behind.

"Tato" (Ukrainian for dad).

"Haha, Diana".

"It's so beautiful", Li Qiao thought to himself.

"If there is really Snow White in the world, it is probably nothing more than this."

"Come on, Diana, let me introduce you to my Chinese friend Li Qiao."

Diana looked at the Chinese boy in front of her, with a handsome and shy appearance and deep eyes. At first glance, Diana had a very good impression of Li Qiao.

"Hi, my name is Diana."

"Hello, my name is Li Qiao."

Li Qiao held Diana's extended hand, feeling a little deer in his heart.

Diana seemed to feel Li Qiao's slightly trembling hands, and smiled and said, "Is it cold in Kiev?"
"It's beautiful."

Li Qiao's puns are not only beautiful in snow scenery, but also beautiful in people.

"Let's come in and see how Li Qiao's little nose turns red from the cold," Lobarov said.

It was dinner time, and in the restaurant, there were very simple Ukrainian food on the table. It was not that Eva was not hospitable, but to be honest, Ukraine has a cold climate. Since ancient times, bread and meat have been the main food, and there are very few vegetables.

Lobarov took a sip of vodka.

"Wow, I want to die this taste",
Now there is a very funny situation, Mr. Lobarov basically speaks Chinese first, and then Ukrainian, so you will find that Li Qiao is always in the room, Diana laughs first, and Ms. Eva laughs after a while.

"Dad, you should quit drinking, I still want to see you holding me at my wedding."

"Haha, my daughter, if you really want to, let me drink it, or I won't last until then."

Li Qiao chuckled.

Diana looked at Li Qiao, and handed him a piece of bread (that is, Da Lieba) with dipped sauce.

"thanks".

"Was it fun in China"?Diana asked.

This question is too nonsensical. China is so big and there are thousands of differences in different places. Where do you refer?

But Li Qiao didn't say that, but nodded.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go to China."

"welcome".

Diana seemed to like the little Chinese boy in front of her very much. What neither of them knew was that this fate would last for a long time, and the story between them had just begun.
