Yu Zheng just went downstairs when he heard Louis ask him if he would like coffee from the kitchen next to the door.He responded, and followed the sound to the kitchen, where he saw a tall young man fiddling with the small coffee machine on the marble counter.

Louis is quite tall. In order to operate the equipment on the counter, he can only bow his back unconsciously, lower his head and put his bangs down. The "frigid" gray-blue eyes that are loved by many audiences Half closed.Hearing footsteps from far to near, he also looked up at Yu Zheng, "Are you drinking right? I also brought some coffee beans this time. If we are not in a hurry, try my craft?"

Yu Zheng leaned against the wall, nodded and watched Louis unpack the coffee beans.He is also very familiar with this brand. It is a Jamaican niche brand with a soft and thick coffee aroma and a fruity sour aftertone. It is his loyal partner who has survived several years of busy and hard training.Not only fans of Ice Bears, but even fans of other teams know that the Chinese coach of Ice Bears is a coffee fanatic, a weirdo who is willing to bring his own thermos with coffee on the field.

But they didn't know that Yu Zheng was very unaccustomed to coffee when he first left Huaguo to go to overseas clubs alone.Every time he drank it, he would feel sick, but the pressure of training increased day by day, he had to rely on it to refresh himself, and gradually he could no longer do without it.

"Do you drink a lot of coffee?" Yu Zheng saw that Louis was skillful.

"Yeah." Louis poured coffee beans into the machine, poured a few more into his hand after pouring, twisted one and smelled it, and spread the rest out in front of Yu Zheng, "At first I bought ground coffee powder, but I forgot about training every day. When I remembered, the coffee powder had gone bad. Later, I only bought coffee beans. Look at this kind of coffee beans, even if they are not ground. Can smell..."

Yu Zheng took three or two beans in a good manner. Knowing everything about this brand, he didn't intend to hold the beans up to his nose to smell them, so he rubbed them with his fingers, "Training?"

He was really curious about Louis, but he didn't know how to bring it up.Retirement is an extremely personal choice, but the retired champion of the rapids, SAM has really been the only Louis in these years.

When Louis joined the bridge team, Yu Zheng knew that the bridge would become their strong opponent.It is not easy for Ice Bear to win the championship for two consecutive years by using tactics to suppress Louis' offensive.He was so shameless that he felt that Ice Bear had to be his guide, but in this last year's championship game, even if he was still there, he might not be able to stop Louis' offensive.The performance of the young man in front of him is simply amazing. His tricky and strong style of play and excellent psychological quality are enough for everyone to remember him, and all clubs are willing to pay eight figures of dollars to pry a corner during the transfer period.

Three days later, Yu Zheng looked at each other with admiration. When Yu Zheng saw the video of the game, he knew that the current Louis was not at the level of the previous two years, and then he had the urge to invite Louis to another round.As a result, this person retired without saying a word when he was attracting attention, and he bid farewell to the game and disappeared.

He himself can no longer continue on the court with his original identity.The Ice Bear suffered a complete defeat in the arena, and the bridge lost its backbone after winning the championship. The two champion teams who have been fighting for three years are no longer the same.

"Well, the training is very hard. Sometimes I'm very sleepy, so I drink a little." Louis tidied up his hanging bangs, "Did I tell you that I participated in a professional team before?"

"No." Yu Zheng's eyes darkened, "It's amazing."

Louis shook his head needlessly, turned his back and went to wash two more cups, "Training is very boring. Every year, newcomers come and old ones leave, and everyone is under a lot of pressure. I just resisted it and endured it for a few years...but then I found that I couldn't stand it anymore, I thought I could fight for a few more years, but I didn't expect to let it go...Is that how it works?"

"Is it possible?" Yu Zheng's train of thought was almost distracted by Louis, "Why can't you stand it?"

If the team that had been losing all the time was disbanded or replaced, then he could still understand.But the bridge has won the champion salted fish, and the players will only be more valuable in the spotlight, and there is absolutely no possibility of leaving the field sadly.

"...how should I put it?" Louis' tone slowed down. Although it was not heavy, it was not as relaxed as before. Instead, it was a bit sad and indifferent. It seemed that he was talking about something that had nothing to do with himself, and his voice didn't stop. "We have been unable to win the game for a few years, but the team is united. I have been scolded by the manager for the past two years, but I can enjoy the game..."

With the sound of the coffee machine, the raw liquid flowed out from the metal spout and was caught by the small transparent cup, and the tan liquid rippled slightly.The whole room was filled with a mellow aroma, fearing that Yu Zheng would not be used to drinking it, Louis squatted down to find the milk in the small refrigerator.

"Later, I finally won the opponent, and all the thoughts of my teammates were exposed. I didn't value fame and money, so I wanted to fight the opponent well. After I won, I suddenly realized that it was meaningless... meaningless things, still Why keep it?"

Yu Zheng was still thinking about the meaning of Louis' words, and he came back to his senses when the warm cup was stuffed into his hands.

"I'll just drink black coffee. If you need it, can you add toppings yourself?" Louis pointed to the toppings on the table, and his expression became relaxed again. "I took a look, and the cinnamon powder served in this hotel is pretty good. You can try the sweet coffee."

"Have you ever heard of 'Please do yourself'?" Yu Zheng was interrupted, and he didn't plan to refill the coffee. He followed Louis back to the living room. If you can speak, you will appear to understand Chinese and have a good style."

Louis' eyes lit up when he heard it, and he asked Yu Zheng to say it twice more, and he learned it decently after stumbling.One of them was sitting on the sofa and the other was standing in front of the window, both holding a white porcelain cup and savoring carefully.

"There is also fog in Yangcheng? The temperature is much higher than the fog." Louis took off his black coat as early as entering the house, and the slim, high-necked, thick-knit beige sweater looked very homely, and it complemented the young figure very well.At this time, he was looking at the tall buildings looming outside the window with a curious expression on his face, "It's my first time in China, and I feel very comfortable."

"Is it smog? How can there be fog after this point?" Yu Zheng laughed, and finally remembered that it was not too early to eat, and he hadn't eaten for a long time. If he continued to be hungry, he would be afraid of his stomach ringing in front of Louis, "We Why don't you just go down to eat later? The lower floors of the hotel are high-end shopping malls, and underground shopping malls are also popular in the local area, where there are many snacks."

This sentence fully mobilized Louis' enthusiasm, and the speed of drinking coffee was much faster than the naked eye.When Yu Zheng was dragged out by Louis who had forgotten to wear his coat, he couldn't help touching his pocket, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that all kinds of convenient payments in his mobile phone were activated.

Exceeding Yu Zheng's expectation, Louis didn't have much interest in the so-called high-end but actually deserted shopping malls. Instead, when Yu Zheng took him up the escalator to the underground and saw the crowded entrance, the excitement and anticipation on his face were revealed.

"Is this Art Street?" Louis looked up at the retro oil lamps and small animal models on the ceiling of the underground street, "It feels very atmospheric."

"The entire underground commercial area is very large, connecting three or four subway stations. This area is made in this style. The next area is in the traditional Huaguo style. There are many red walls and green tiles, and rich peach trees. I will take you there. Take a look." Yu Zheng smiled, walked beside Louis to introduce him, and made a joke by the way.

"...Many shops sell clothes, so many office workers will come to visit. There are also shops selling animation and games, which attract many college and middle school students. I brought taro balls to shop last time, and I almost got lost in it. But this Once, even with a stray deer, I can find my way.”

Louis walked around with Yu Zheng, and heard Yu Zheng teasing him, "There are signs on it, I won't get lost."

"It's fake, don't look at it." Yu Zheng looked helpless, "The road signs here are all deliberately deceiving tourists to detour, I took taro balls for a long time, and finally found that there is a shortcut to turn back, but I was angry. "

"What's that?" Before Yu Zheng could finish speaking, Louis quietly approached Yu Zheng, motioning him to look in the direction of his eyes.

Yu Zheng thought that Louis had seen something good, but turned around in a daze and saw a tourist next to him holding a bag of purple rice balls that were half-eaten and scattered inside, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "...Do you want to eat it?"

"I haven't eaten it, I think so." Louis nodded honestly.

Yu Zheng avoided the innocent and straightforward eyes of the young man, and took the big dog to find rice balls with a smile on his face.When he reached the side of the stall, Louis took advantage of his height to look past the heads of many tourists who had paid and waited to get food, glanced at the staff who were adding ingredients to the rice balls, and fixed on the price list, "Ten dollars? Is it that cheap?"

The store charges very efficiently, and when Louis was looking at the menu, Yu Zheng's team was all lined up.Yu Zheng ordered a signature rice ball himself, and called Louis to come back and order.Louis, who had never eaten anything and had a hard time choosing, looked confused, and asked for the same style as Yu Zheng.

Louis was taking out his wallet to take out the coins he had exchanged in advance, but was successfully intercepted by Yu Zheng who used his mobile phone to pay and take the order lightly. He was still curious about mobile payment when he received the rice ball from the clerk.

Yu Zheng also thinks this method is very convenient. After so many years abroad, there are not many opportunities to pay directly by mobile phone.Even if some merchants support certain fruit payment, there are many restrictions and the user experience is very poor.By accident, I got a chance to live in China. I paid utility bills on my mobile phone when I earned money, but I never took my wallet or card with me when I went out.The savings in the account flowed out, and the desire to shop suddenly became stronger.

Fortunately, the food was attractive enough. Louis didn't pay attention to the mobile payment problem, and began to focus on eating rice balls.The Thai purple rice advertised by the store has a very glutinous taste. The preserved radish, marinated egg, and meat floss inside are all very tasty, either flexible or salty. With the seaweed-flavored rice, Louis is full of joy after eating it.

The last time Yu Zheng went shopping with taro balls was purely passing by, and he couldn't help begging for taro balls but Yu Zheng, who couldn't give taro balls to eat because of his health, didn't dare to buy anything along the way.This time I took Louis to go shopping, and I finally looked like a young man when I went shopping and eating.

Along the way, Yu Zheng walked behind Louis, watching the young people in front of him search for interesting and delicious places like a radar, and while wiping his mouth, he wondered, maybe the two of them would gain weight and eat too much after shopping that day.
