Due to the gender-masculine relationship of nouns in European languages, Yue Yihuang let people know that the person he was talking about was a man of the same gender as him almost as soon as he uttered it.But he doesn't mind that.Just stated in a slightly melancholy and self-deprecating tone.

"I thought... I would be with him, side by side to the end. But I don't know when, the distance between me and him began to become farther and farther. It is so far away that it is impossible to go back to the past. It is so far away No matter what, I can't catch up with him."

"But just this afternoon, I suddenly felt... Even if I can't go back to the past, it is still possible for me to return to the same height as him again. In another capacity."

"So... I want to go back and see him. And also see the dream we used to work towards together."

"Even if I don't intend to let him see me."

Unconsciously, the train has started again.However, Karl did not get out of the car, but continued to sit beside Yue Yihuang, listening to his voice and his narration.

He didn't seem to be horrified, or looked down upon, or any kind of negative emotion because Yue Yihuang liked a man.He just sat there, listening, as calm as he had been in the beginning.

After a long time, Karl finally spoke again.

"That person is very lucky. Because in this era, no one will guard a love with no future for ten years. But he is also very unfortunate. Because he will not know from the time he gets it until he loses it. If I am you, and I will at least tell that person before he completely loses this precious relationship."

"No, you don't understand. You don't want to say it, just because you don't want to lose more."

The door of the carriage was knocked, and Yue Yihuang who heard the sound quickly opened the door of the carriage, and the person standing at the door was the conductor who came to check the passengers' tickets.Yue Yihuang quickly handed over his ticket and reservation form to the other party, and told the other party that he wanted tea when the other party asked him whether he wanted coffee or tea for breakfast tomorrow morning.

However, when the other party saw Carl who was sitting next to Yue Yihuang at the moment, he let out a voice of surprise.

"Oh, my God, sir, you have passed the station, the Turin Protanova station has passed."

"I think so. The conversation with this gentleman was so timeless. But I thought I might get off at another station in Turin?"

"Yes, there are still 15 minutes to arrive. But the position there will be a little bit off."

"Okay, thank you, I think I won't miss it this time."

After speaking, the door of the carriage was closed again.The atmosphere between the two returned to silence again.

"I'm sorry, but I let you sit past the stop."

"No, don't feel sorry. In fact, it's a pleasure to meet you here. But now I may have to call my friends and tell them I missed the stop and they have to go to another Pick me up at the train station. And, maybe you'd like to exchange a contact with me after that"

As they spoke, both of them smiled, and Yue Yihuang even nodded.

15 minutes is a short time.Especially if you don't want it to just go by.Before the train stopped again, Karl had already walked to the door in order to prevent another stop.And Yue Yihuang... He also walked to the door of that train with Carl, to see off this friend who met by chance but whom he felt very kind.

After the train stopped, Carl pressed the button in front of the door, and the train door opened.

The moment Karl stepped down the stairs, Yue Yihuang took off the long-sleeved jacket he was wearing and put it on Karl's shoulders.

"Although, it doesn't suit you. But now, you need it more than I do. Turin at night...is very cold."

Hearing this sentence, Carl was stunned for a moment, then he stretched out his right hand and pulled the coat that Yue Yihuang put on him to his shoulder again, without rejecting this kindness.

"Then... goodbye."

"Yes, goodbye."

The two said goodbye to each other, and watched each other calmly as the train slowly moved again and disappeared from their sight.Yue Yihuang, who returned to the carriage again, met the conductor who knocked on the carriage door soon after.This time, the other party asked if he was going to rest now, and if so, she helped to adjust the bed in the carriage.

Yue Yihuang nodded, and then watched as if the other party turned up the seat first, and then turned down the entire wall panel like a sponge cushion as if by magic.It should be said... that may be the bed board.And on the bed that was turned down, sheets and blankets had already been laid.Since Yue Yihuang was the only person in this carriage tonight, the conductor did not turn down the upper berth together.This gave him plenty of room and more light.

So...he took the Spanish fairy tale reader out of his knapsack again.Although... he can almost recite the fairy tales described above that are only suitable for children.

But maybe, he doesn't really want to read that book again, but just wants to use it to recall the past that can never go back again this night.

That night, Yue Yihuang slept very peacefully amidst the shaking of the train.

He had a long, long dream.Dreaming that he was back to his boyhood, he and Igles were still in the Barcelona youth team.They sat together from Barcelona to other cities in Spain for games.At that time, the atmosphere in the train was lively, and everyone's faces were full of excitement, discussing something intensely, which was completely different from the current situation.

That's what he misses.

I miss it but I can never go back.

The train was on time. At [-]:[-] am the next day, Yue Yihuang arrived at Barcelona's Sants main train station.However, it is still early.There are still more than four hours before the start of the game, and he may not be able to rush to Barcelona's home stadium, the Campno Football Stadium, so early.

So... let's go back to the expansion area first.Since he went to Brescia, it seems that he has not been to the most characteristic place of Barcelona for a long time.

After almost hesitating for a moment, Yue Yihuang went to the subway ticket office in the train station to buy a one-day ticket, and walked directly to the subway line [-].That was pretty much the subway line he took the most during his years in Barcelona.Because the penultimate stop of the westward terminal of Metro Line [-] is the nearest subway station to the Campno Stadium.Moreover, Line [-] can also reach Ramblas, which is very famous in Barcelona.

When they were teenagers, they used to like to sneak out to Las Ramblas on their days off in search of something delicious and fun.They even lingered in front of the famous bar over there for a long time with anxiety, and were finally driven back by the bartender in the store.

Of course, Barcelona's Eixample, with its many modern buildings, is also a place they would love to visit.There are many works of Gaudí and modern architects, full of an almost absurd imagination and elusive artistic beauty.

Moreover, that is also the place that Metro Line [-] can reach.

Therefore, when Yue Yihuang saw the familiar green color of the subway line and the station announcement that he hadn't heard for a long time, he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.He took a deep breath.God knows how much he wants to go to the Campno Stadium as soon as possible, and even to take a look at the Barcelona youth training base near there.

However, he knew that if he was given so much time, he would unconsciously find those former teammates before the game.So he just counted the stops silently in his mind, and then... it seemed that a flash of inspiration in his head reminded him that there is a bus that can go around the extension of Barcelona is nearby.So, he suddenly stood up from his seat, and even ran out of the subway door, making the people around him look at this man with an oriental face inexplicably.

He ran towards the exit of that block, crossed the steps like the wind, and then rushed all the way to the location of the station.

As if waiting for him, the familiar bus in memory was parked next to the station, and the last passenger who wanted to get on the bus had already boarded.Therefore, Yue Yihuang showed the speed of a long-distance rush, and rushed into the car in a very short time under the surprised eyes of the passengers on the car.

Several young people exclaimed because of his astonishing speed, and then showed smiling eyes and gave him a very enthusiastic thumbs up.

"Hey! Boy, cool!"

A young man with golden brown hair said this sentence to Yue Yihuang in English, but he never thought that Yue Yihuang would talk to them in fluent Spanish directly after smiling.This surprised these young people even more.

"You speak Spanish really well. But... sounds like... an Argentinian accent?"

"Oh, it's possible. The first person who taught me Spanish was an Argentinian. Although my friends in Madrid corrected my pronunciation later, it may still be difficult to correct all of them."

"Ha, that sounds interesting! Are you here on a tourist trip? But are you sure you're on the right train? We'll show you where you're going."

"I came to the football game and I had to go back after I finished. But I think I can be sure I got on the right bus. Because... I just wanted to go around the extension again. You know, I lived in Barcelona a long time ago , but I haven’t been back for a long time.”

"You mean the Barcelona-Atletico Madrid game? Actually we want to go too, but Barcelona tickets are always hard to get."

After talking for a long time, those young people had already arrived at the station, said goodbye to Yue Yihuang and got off the bus.Although warm, but also has enough politeness, will not make people have the slightest feeling of being difficult.

However, when Yue Yihuang's car drove forward again, the Spanish companion with golden brown hair who had been silent before suddenly shouted out.

"Ah! I remembered! I remembered how the Asian man made me feel so familiar just now!"

"Ah? What do you remember?"

"He used to be in the Barcelona youth training camp! Do you remember? We went to the Barcelona youth training base to watch his games a few years ago! Didn't we often go there on weekends?"

"You mean... the one who used to play forward with Igles in the 13-14 Barcelona youth team? I remember he also played with Igles in the 15-16 Barcelona youth team. We played together for a while! But...he didn't know where he went after that."

"Ah...we should have asked him where he plays now...I loved watching him play then."

"Yes..."

"Yes..."

Several local young people in Barcelona looked at each other, feeling a little annoyed, but now it was impossible to catch up with the tram by running, so they could only sigh and look in the direction of the tram.
