After the tram almost circled around the extension area of ​​Barcelona, ​​Yue Yihuang finally got off, and took a closer look at this area that they had always pressed their feet over and over again in the past.

Crossing a few streets from the small path, Yue Yihuang soon came to the Golden Square in the expansion area.

There are hundreds of urban districts here, but it is also the place with the most modernist buildings in Barcelona and the most famous one.

Perhaps here, the most famous work may be Gaudí's work, Mira Apartment.

When young Yue Yihuang first came to this city, he was always amazed when he saw the buildings filled with strange waves.In this regard, Igles, who did not grow up in Barcelona since he was a child, is the same.

When they were children, they still imagined that one day, they could live in the Mira apartment full of absurd lines, just like the buildings they saw after taking hallucinogens.

All this is so special that it is impossible to see a building similar to it in any other city in Europe.

It seems that these buildings belong to Barcelona and have a unique urban imprint that cannot be copied.

At this time, it was past twelve noon.

Although this time may be much earlier than the lunch time of the Spaniards, Yue Yihuang couldn't help but stop when he passed a traditional Spanish-style restaurant.

He ordered a paella risotto, as well as some homemade seafood dishes.

That lunch, he ate very slowly.With a kind of cherished meaning.However, it seems that what he cherishes is not only the food itself.

About two hours later, Yue Yihuang took the subway from the Gracia subway station and headed all the way to the Campo Stadium.

In fact, there is still a long way to go from the subway station to the Campno Stadium.Going straight along that street, you can see a ring road that symbolizes the "Barcelona area".At this time, if you go to the left, you can see the Campno Stadium.But if you go to the right, you can see the home of the basketball club of Barcelona.

It is also a modern, well-equipped basketball stadium.But compared with the Camp Nou football stadium, it is too small.

Looking at the time, it seemed that there was still half an hour left. When he reached the ring road, Yue Yihuang first turned to the right to see the Barcelona basketball stadium that he hadn't seen for a long time.

It seems that because of the weekend and the competition today, there are quite a few people around here.Most of them are supporters of Barcelona, ​​whether it is basketball or football.However, Yue Yihuang was walking among the crowd, but none of the fans in the Barcelona jersey recognized him.

He walked around Barcelona's basketball stadium like this, then took one last look here, and walked towards Campno, where he thought he might belong.

Whenever there is a Barcelona game, this venue will have very strict security measures.In this way, Yue Yihuang followed the crowd to the entrance of the Campno Stadium, and called out the three-dimensional code sent in the form of a text message on his mobile phone, and scanned the ticket for the ticket inspector.

Because he had booked through Barcelona's official website at the beginning of the season, Yue Yihuang had the best and most expensive ticket in the game.From his position, he could even see the expressions of the Barcelona players when they came out of the tunnel.

Then, he saw Igles wearing a red and blue striped Barcelona uniform.

Igles and... Antis.

Igles is even more mature than when he was in the Barcelona youth team.Although, he is only 20 years old this year.But in him, there is a restraint and calmness that can only be found in players who have been famous for a long time.He even replaced Barcelona's generation of overlords, and the Brazilian player Derico became the absolute core of Barcelona.

This is almost a no suspense game.However, on Igles' body, he couldn't find even the slightest slack.On the contrary, Antis, who has always been very cheerful, walked behind Igles, talking to him with a relaxed face.

When the Barcelona players walked out of the player channel, there was an immediate shout in the Campno Stadium.

This is the imperial capital of the Barcelona Campno dynasty.

And the Barcelona first team consisting of 23 players is the sharpest sword in this dynasty.They fought on the battlefield, they competed with the heroes in Europe and Spain, and made great achievements for this great dynasty.

The Spanish La Liga is known as the best football league in the world. It is just a start, and it is so fun that every audience and every fan can feel a hearty feeling.

Compared with the Italian Serie A, which Yue Yihuang has gradually become familiar with and more integrated into in recent years, this top domestic competition in Spain obviously has stronger skills and more dazzling team cooperation.Here, stealing the ball has become a more difficult thing, and the fluency of the game has become its bonus item.

Today, Igles and Antis are both Barcelona's starting lineup.

Relying on Barcelona's powerful midfielder, the ball was sent wave after wave to the frontcourt where the two were located.

In just seven minutes, they created four chances on goal.Played the Spanish strong team Atletico Madrid very embarrassingly.

He... got stronger again.

Looking at the court in silence, Yue Yihuang told himself softly in his heart.

At this time, he is undoubtedly contradictory.He is happy for his childhood companion to achieve such an achievement.But at the same time, an indescribable sense of urgency overwhelmed him again.It seemed that no matter how hard he tried to chase, he couldn't reach the same height as the man on the field.

On the contrary... the half-English-Spanish man who seemed to never be able to penetrate between the two of them seemed to be closer to him.That's an infinitely close distance.Just like he used to be.

"Barcelona!"

"Barcelona!"

"Barcelona!"

In the Camp Nou stadium, Barcelona fans sang the Barcelona team anthem and yelled the name of the Barcelona club over and over again.Just like the roar Yue Yihuang and Igles heard every weekend outside the Campno Stadium...

At this time, Yue Yihuang's cell phone rang.Although the voices of the fans in the stadium made him almost unable to hear the ringtone of the mobile phone, he could feel the vibration of the mobile phone when the call came.He almost didn't take his eyes off the court before answering the phone, but... the voice on the other end of the phone made him startled and didn't know what kind of voice he should make.

"Yihuang, where are you? You didn't come to the celebration banquet yesterday and the reception after that. I asked De Luo, and he said that you were absent because of something. I... I was a little worried about you, so I went to your house to find you. But , you don't..."

That's Francisco.He hesitated for a long time before calling Yue Yihuang.Therefore, almost at the moment Yue Yihuang picked up the phone, he said everything he had thought about for a long time.

But after all, he was silent because of those roaring roars.Even with the words he has yet to say...

The silence lasted for a long time, and the shouts from the Barcelona fans rang in Francisco's ears through the phone.So clear, so strong.

"You... in Spain?"

"Yes."

"You could have taken the plane this morning. You know...you know that the owner of the Torino team showed up at the reception after the celebration dinner yesterday."

"Yes. But I . . . have a sudden urge to go there by train."

While Francisco was silent, Yue Yihuang had already walked away from his seat, walked from the corridor of the stands to the stadium hall connected to the auditorium.However, the echoing shout made his figure look even more lonely...

"When will you... be back?"

"Maybe tomorrow."

It seems that even Francisco himself didn't know why he was so calm when he learned that the person who had worried him for a long time went to Spain to watch the Barcelona game alone without telling them, even... There was also an indescribable emotion.I want that person to come back to him at this moment, and play a ball game with him in the rainstorm with only two people, and then collapse exhausted on the muddy field together.

However... that could only be Torino's Stadio Communale.

The charming low laughter overflowed from Francisco's throat again, bewitching everyone who heard it unconsciously.

"Or maybe, you can come back tonight. Siwok's sister is getting married, and he will leave for two weeks to return to the Czech Republic. And Toure also has something to leave Turin for a while."

"so?"

"So maybe I need to join you for two weeks of nutritious meals."

"That sounds absurd, Francisco."

"Perhaps, but I hope you will say yes."

"What's the reason?"

"I'm your important... partner."

When Yue Yihuang heard that long-lost word from Francisco, he seemed to be in a trance, and almost subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the stadium passage.At this moment, where Campnone is the most competitive, Igles seems to have scored a goal for the first time... The audience cheered violently, and shouted his name loudly, making that name resound through Campnone. Puno Stadium...

Before getting Yue Yihuang's answer, Francisco hung up the phone.

It seems to not give that person a chance to reject himself.

His luxury car was parked in the residential complex where Yue Yihuang rented an apartment, it looked so eye-catching.However, Francisco seemed to be ignorant.He sat in his car and even lit a cigarette for himself in this small space.

He doesn't smoke often, and has almost no addiction to cigarettes. He only lights one for himself when he is alone in meditation, as if that cigarette is a friend who listens to his silent talk.

A picture in his memory suddenly crashed into his mind.

That was the photo that was pasted all over the wall in Yue Yihuang's bedroom.

At that time, Francisco didn't seem to notice another protagonist besides Yue Yihuang in the photo.However, at this moment, the memory seems to suddenly become clear.

Yes, the other boy in the photo looks very similar to Barcelona's striker, Igles who is always compared with himself...

Thinking of this, Francisco laughed noncommittally.However, that kind of laughter does not have a hint of warmth on such a sunny afternoon.
