"Hey, the teacher is coming!" the roommate guarding the door shouted in a low voice.

Zhou Yan waited for the progress bar of the phone's web page buffering to finish displaying, glanced at it quickly, and quickly threw it under the pillow.

The sound of footsteps stayed at the door for a while before gradually going away.

It was finally safe, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xiaoyu, who was sitting opposite Zhou Yan, held her chin in distress: "I really don't understand you. Every day, you look at your phone with fear every night, and the result is to see the weather forecast? Even if In the extreme situation where it was pouring rain outside and we didn’t bring umbrellas, naturally some students would come back together.”

Zhou Yan smiled: "Just in case, I would like to be the classmate who picks you up with an umbrella."

"Cut~" There was a sneer from the opposite side, and soon, they entered the next topic happily.

Zhou Yan looked far away and looked out the window. At this time, the school's stipulated lights-off time had already passed, and the dormitory building opposite was pitch black, and no one dared to turn on the lights.And she already knew that at the moment NASA's training base, Merritt Island was clear and clear.

Three years have passed since the much-anticipated World Cup. According to Zhou Yan's good record of leading the team to the team finals and winning an individual championship, after returning to China, Zhou Yan was successfully defeated by a team. International schools that charge extremely expensive fees.

The first days were very pleasant. Although the teaching method of the international school made it difficult for her to adapt when she first entered school, Zhou Yan quickly ranked among the top again by relying on the knowledge reserve and study habits acquired in her previous life.Her parents dote on her very much, and they almost never limit her spare time, so she has enough time to study her interests.

Moreover, every month she would receive emails from across the ocean. Brett would describe his daily courses and training plans in a language she could understand. Zhou Yan watched Brett approach him little by little with empathy. dream.Although Brett had already prepaid her birthday gifts for many years, in these few years, Brett still sent her birthday gifts on time. The first year was the Blu-ray disc of "American Pie"; What he painted was the oil painting of the island he was on; the third year was the Milky Way Pass with the NASA logo.These things that Zhou Yan collected with great care told her all the time that the sincere feelings never fade away, as long as there is someone who can miss, it is happiness.It's been a long time, but it's worth the wait.

But Zhou Yan's life was by no means smooth sailing. When she entered high school, her parents decided to immigrate to Australia.When Zhou Yan opened the door with the admission letter from the high school, she saw her parents packing their bags. At that moment, Zhou Yan knew that their days of running around had finally come to an end.The parents began to explain for the hundredth time apologetically, but Zhou Yan just nodded with a smile: "I know, these procedures are very cumbersome, so we can't delay too much, I will look for you in the future."

Zhou Yan's parents love her very much, and they would contact her every day when they first immigrated. She always replied cheerfully: "My classmates are very good, my teacher likes me very much, and the content of the study is not difficult, and I can easily master it... …The setbacks that are swept away by understatement belong only to the self after the lights are turned off.Zhou Yan has long been used to parting. The departure of her parents doesn't mean she doesn't love her, it's just the word "love", and she needs to take a back seat when necessary.

Zhou Yan decided to go through the boarding procedures. Although she will face various inconveniences in life, there will be residual warmth from the crowd after all.Zhou Yan's academic goal has also changed from successfully passing the college entrance examination and being admitted to a key domestic university to preparing to study abroad.This is tantamount to instantly adjusting Zhou Yan's life from the EASY mode to the HARD mode. The literature and history textbooks she used to memorize fluently, and the college entrance examination questions that she picked up at her fingertips are all useless at once. What surrounds her has become IELTS, TOEFL and GMAT.The only benefit of rebirth was erased by unexpected changes like this. Every time Zhou Yan passed the class preparing for the college entrance examination, there would be a burst of sadness in her heart. For her, this was once a matter of routine and easy control. matter.

Compared with this earth-shaking change, the trivial matters of life encountered in a house without adults, and the disputes between classmates in the dormitory and classrooms are not worth mentioning.Zhou Yan used to be indecisive and good at relying, but she gradually understood that important things should be decided and resolved by herself.If we say that so many years of life have taught Zhou Yan any truths and experiences, it is that she must love this world, no matter what.

The roommates were tired of talking and fell asleep one after another, and the sound of even breathing sounded around them.Zhou Yan pressed her temple, won't she suffer from insomnia again?Sure enough, late at night is not a suitable time for reminiscing, especially when she thinks about it, in the past three years, she seems to have spent more time wandering and wandering, and less time being contented. If she adjusts the bright colors in her mind frame by frame, Only Summer Vacation from two years ago is worth repeating over and over again.

The second World Cup was finally held in Berlin. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, Zhou Yan fulfilled her original agreement and went to Germany. On the day she arrived at the airport, Michel personally picked her up.

Mikhail took her suitcase: "Hugh will come to see us tomorrow, and today, he still has some things to deal with."

In just one year, Mihaier has grown a lot taller, and the whole person looks mature and upright. Zhou Yan still remembers that in the video she saw, Mihaier took the oath as a player representative, and his words were loud and clear. Sweeping the audience, the faces of other contestants were full of admiration.

"Ian, after all this time, only you kept your promise." Mikhail joked.

Knowing that what Mihaier mentioned was an agreement they made casually at the dinner table in one summer, Zhou Yan also regretted it: "What are other people busy with?"

A look of reminiscence appeared on Mihail's face: "Hugh hasn't seen anyone all day, and Brett is probably busy with space training. He didn't even participate in the usual championship performance and oath-taking session. Kari is now serving as the Iron Wolves Assistant Coach, we're so busy that we don't even have time for a drink, so I haven't had ice cream since this summer."

Zhou Yan smiled narrowly: "That's because your stomach is already filled with Black Forest cake, marzipan and Franken snowballs."

Mikhail paused, then turned to look at her: "Well, the disguise failed. I'm glad you still know me so well."

Zhou Yan dropped the straw into the turquoise sparkling water, took a sip, and suddenly felt the bubbles slide quickly in her mouth. She still couldn't get used to carbonated drinks.

Hugh called the waiter: "Please bring us a glass of milk, thank you."

Zhou Yan quickly waved her hand: "No need, I found that the drink in my cup is actually delicious." She thought, drinking milk in such an elegant place is probably as inappropriate as teaching basic English letters in a university class.

Hugh ignored Zhou Yan's stop, but continued to ask, "How long do you want to stay in Germany this time?"

Sure enough, Zhou Yan put aside her entanglement with the types of drinks, and replied, "About a week." She still had a lot of summer homework to complete. In addition, she also made appointments with her classmates for domestic travel and camping plans.

"That's right." Hugh's tone was full of regret, "Then, you won't be able to see the moment when we won the championship. It's a pity."

Mikhail frowned, and the knife that had precisely measured the angle and was cutting the cake was deflected abruptly, only cutting a small half.Mihaier put the cut dessert into a plate and handed it to Zhou Yan. He couldn't help thinking that if Ian didn't come, even Hugh in Germany would never be able to make time to watch their games.

Zhou Yan felt guilty soared by Hugh's sigh, so she had to bury her head in the dessert, trying to fill her mouth with the cake.

Mihail said: "Ian, let's go to the arena together later, we haven't competed together for a long time."

Zhou Yan stuffed the cake and replied without thinking: "Okay!" Although she must be inferior in skills, the feeling of running on the field is really nostalgic.

"Let's go!" Mikhail ordered.

The three let go of the car together, and the car was running on the German team's practice field. As time went by, Mihail's advantage became more and more obvious. His Iron Wolf was far ahead, Hugh's car was two positions behind, and Tianlong The number is at the bottom of the rear.

Zhou Yan could feel the restlessness of the Tianlong under her feet, the sound of the gears turning was unprecedentedly kind, the wind blew her bangs, and the back view in front of her brought her back to those days and nights when she worked hard to win the championship.They ran lap after lap, and no one wanted to stop until the current member of the Iron Wolves came to stop him: "Captain, the assistant coach has something to ask for you."

"Okay." Mikhail stopped the car first, and led the team members towards the two who had already left half of the practice field by him. "Let me introduce to you, this is the previous captain of the Iron Wolves team, and this is the captain of the Chinese team in the first World Cup."

Zhou Yan subconsciously nodded to the new Iron Wolves team member, and when she saw Hugh shaking hands with that player, she suddenly realized that it was also the first time that Hugh met a new Iron Wolves team member.Then why did you just say that I came here for a short time, which made me feel so guilty?Zhou Yan turned her head and stared at Hugh.

Not minding that Mihail directly exposed his cover, Hugh smiled at Zhou Yan as usual: "Let's go to the lounge and wait for Mihail."

"..."

Yeli seemed to be discussing tactics with Mihail. Mihail hadn't come out for a long time. Fortunately, there was a TV in the lounge, which was playing the first half of the World Cup on a loop.

This match is between the Australian team and the U.S. team. Now the U.S. team members, except for Miller, are all new faces, but the strength of the U.S. team to crush the opponent has not changed. Just 10 minutes after the game, five jumps Those who have already run ahead.The camera freezes on the scene where Miller is holding on to the earphones and talking to the microphone. At this time, the host commented: "For a long time, the intelligence collection of the American team is the best, and this is also the reason why their record has always been far ahead. one of the reasons."

Zhou Yan couldn't help laughing, she was afraid of being emotional, so after the live broadcast of this World Cup started, she only watched the match between the German team and the Chinese team. Became the leader of the team.

Before she had time to imagine, if it was that person, whether the current record and ranking would be completely different, she saw an advertisement cut into the TV screen, which was a promotional screen shot by Brett, "The second World Cup, the United States must Will win the championship again." Brett's hairstyle, expression, and demeanor are all the same as in her impression, he is always so confident, Zhou Yan believes that even if he is busy with training, Brett will definitely pay attention to the World Cup, because that is what all of them want Something that cannot be parted.

Zhou Yan smiled foolishly at a TV set in the empty lounge.
