"For me, it scares me more than losing the game..."

When the voice full of magnetic allure rang in Yue Yihuang's ear with unconcealed exhaustion, Yue Yihuang took a deep breath, then he turned around and looked at him very complicatedly.

"Why are you always able...to make people unbearable to be really angry with you..."

"That's because you actually care about me. It's also because... your heart is really soft, but the more you are like this, the more I worry that you will get hurt where I can't see it. "

Although Francisco really wanted to hug each other at this time, he still didn't do it in the end.He just stared at the other party in the night with his deep eyes full of tenderness.That was shocking, and it took a lot of strength to say no to him and face him with a cold expression.

So Yue Yihuang could only turn around again.Only this time, Francisco knew his alarm was off.So he took Yue Yihuang's hand when he stepped forward again, and said before Yue Yihuang glared at him angrily again:

"I'll be quiet. I just want you to know...I'm right there with you."

"Do you promise?"

"Yes, I promise, I will not disturb you."

When Yue Yihuang looked at Prince Turin with a very suspicious look, the Italian did his best to accept the other party's scrutiny with an expression so sincere that people couldn't bear to doubt it.Then, he passed.His shadow front began to walk aimlessly, driven by instinct, and took him along.

Never again, as he thought before, Yue Yihuang took the subway and walked to the avenue named Avinguda Diagonal.It is a very famous commercial street in Barcelona.At the end of that road near the Campno, it would look like a financial street in Barcelona, ​​while at the end near the Gothic Quarter, it would be the most fashionable and high-end commercial street in Barcelona.

In the eyes of many people, everything here expresses the present of the city of Barcelona.

But Francisco can understand that what Yue Yihuang sees through here is definitely not his present.

From the perspective of Europe where he is located, this city should be considered a very large city.But in fact, he only has 101.9 square kilometers.If there is anything to compare, the city of Turin, where Yue Yihuang lives now, is nearly 30 square kilometers larger than Barcelona.But this city is so magical, as if every building can take you to a world beyond fantasy.

Before midnight, the two walked to the Sagrada Familia along the avenue called avinguda diagonal.Almost without any road signs, you just need to walk slowly along the street, and then the towering Sagrada Familia will appear in your sight.

Even though it was already midnight in Barcelona, ​​the most controversial church in Europe was still so brightly lit, and it was so resplendent against the lights, it seemed so unreal in the deep night.It seems to be a building that shouldn't exist in this world.

At this time, Yue Yihuang seemed to appear in front of Yue Yihuang when he was a teenager. He ran out of the Barcelona youth training camp together with Igles and a few of his fellows from the youth training camp carefree. Cross the entire avingudadiagonal street.

The curriculum of the Barcelona youth academy is very tight.They need to get up early for training every day, come back for lunch at two o'clock in the afternoon, and start studying after a short rest.Someone will supervise them there to supervise their studies until six o'clock in the afternoon before leaving for training.So, if there's any time for them to actually hang out, it's on their days off.

But even on rest days, they will remember to bring football when they go out.

Maybe play a game of street football with no fixed time, or maybe just dribbling the ball at a constant speed, passing through this city with infinite charm.

"When we were kids...we weren't kids that the grown-ups here liked."

After being silent for almost two hours, Yue Yihuang finally spoke the first sentence.That made Francisco turn his head and look at him quietly.He doesn't need the other party's explanation, he understands... His shadow front is just talking about himself, he only needs someone to listen to him, but he doesn't need other voices to interrupt him.

"Because we always run around in the streets with footballs. We may also scare the little ladies who are brought by their mothers. There is a big man named Rochev among our youth training students. He Always likes to take us to the high street to play football, he likes to be surrounded by other kids clapping around, but since he accidentally smashed the glass of a clothing store with the ball, we have been blacklisted there .”

After speaking, Yue Yihuang turned his head to look at the long commercial street again, showing a nostalgic smile, and then bid farewell to the church that was built in front of him at this moment and has not been completed for nearly 150 years.

When Yue Yihuang started to walk back, he felt that the person who had been holding his hand shook his hand vigorously, and then rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb a few times, as if he just wanted to go back again. Give him some extra body heat.

So Yue Yihuang immediately looked away, walked along the street they came from, and then turned left on Passeig de Gracia Street.Going there, you can see Gaudí's Bayeux House, the Gothic Quarter with the strongest medieval atmosphere in the entire city of Barcelona, ​​and of course...the Plaza Catalunya where he lied to Francisco that he was there.

"We are not popular in the big commercial streets, but the stall owners in those small streets like us very much. Although we always cause trouble."

"This is the place. When the weather is good, there are a few tables here. Although it looks ordinary, the ice cream here is delicious. The proprietress is very nice. Every time we buy double scoops of ice cream, she will give us another one." Ice cream scoops."

"Further turn, there will be a tavern. The tavern owner's daughter is very beautiful. I think she is a bit like Natalie Portman. She is really charming when she dances flamenco. We've always said she was Tarion's first love. But she must have never known she had such an admirer before. Because we were too young to go in."

"And that house up front, where we like to explore..."

In this way, Yue Yihuang depicted his childhood in front of Francisco's eyes.It is as beautiful as a dreamy memory like the city of Barcelona.The journey that could have been completed in a short amount of time was stretched infinitely because of this feeling of nostalgia.

At last, before the sky began to lighten, they walked down Las Ramblas to the sea.

When the cold wind blowing from the sea scrambled for Yue Yihuang's body temperature, Francisco unbuttoned his coat and pulled open the skirt, trying to wrap Yue Yihuang's whole body in his In my arms, but it will not be easy.

It was at this time that Yue Yihuang raised his head and looked at Prince Durin who was warming him with his own body temperature.

"Do you still remember the time when I went to Barcelona alone, and when I came back, I lied to you that I went to Venice to relax?"

Surprised that Yue Yihuang mentioned that time to him at this time, but Francisco still gave an affirmative answer after showing a tender smile: "Of course I remember. I waited for you all night that day. Didn't fall asleep at night."

After getting this answer, Yue Yihuang couldn't help laughing, and after a long silence, he spoke about what he never told anyone, what happened at that time.

"When I came to Barcelona, ​​I actually wanted to take a look at Igles. Because I fell in love with you the night before."

When Yue Yihuang said that sentence, the prince of Turin behind him couldn't help holding his breath.He has worked hard to pursue this person for three years, but until today, he actually heard words from this person that he had thought about for too long and dared not expect anymore.

"That made me feel very strange, and I was even a little afraid to believe that it was true. So, I want to see Yige, hoping that he can give me enough strength and make me more determined like before, the same Just liked him. I thought it was happening because I hadn't seen him in such a long, long time. I firmly believed that if I saw him again... everything would be back on track.

I turned on that damn special buddy locator when I got off the plane.But I found that I missed him... and didn't dare to go to him like this.I... I can't explain to you what I was thinking at that time.In fact, even I don't know why. "

When Yue Yihuang said the words that had never been mentioned to him, Francisco gradually tightened his arms around the other party, as if this could cover up his nervousness.

"So... I went to the Barça academy first. Because I could go and see Tarien first and also see Mr. Castilla. You know he's always been good to me. He's going to miss every day. A kid who went out from there. And then...Mr. Castilla said to me that he might be coaching Barcelona soon. Asked me if I would like to go back to Barcelona if that day came. I'm sorry, at that time I didn't tell you about it."

Yue Yihuang talked about what Francisco had always been afraid of happening.He couldn't help hugging the other party with all his strength, and exhaled a scorching breath from the neck of the phantom child.

Francisco: "Okay... baby stop talking. I don't mind if you keep things from me. You don't have to tell me all that..."

Yue Yihuang: "What do you think I promised Mr. Castilla? As long as he coaches Barcelona, ​​I will go back?"

Francisco: "Why not? I know you love it. In Barcelona's youth training camp, even the computer room is covered with posters of your predecessors, isn't it? And Castilla is also a good coach. He and Dia Go is different. He will know how to cherish worthy players..."

Yue Yihuang: "But when he was trying to convince me, I thought of you. So I told Mr. Castilla... I couldn't answer his question."

When Yue Yihuang said this sentence, Francisco was really stunned.There has never been a person like Yue Yihuang, no matter what he does, the other party's heart is still far, far away from him.So when he knew that he had already let the other party... He hesitated in the face of the imminent realization of his boyhood dream, his mind went blank.

But the young Yingfeng still hasn't stopped talking.

"After leaving Barcelona's youth academy, I finally worked up the courage to go to Igue. I walked straight down Las Ramblas like today, and when I saw the sea, I saw him. At that time, he was with Antis, and they seemed...shouldn't be bothered by me. I think you should understand what I mean, when the two of them..."

When Yue Yihuang said this, Francisco turned him around, looking at those helpless, confused, sad and sad eyes, he actually felt his heart was stabbed, Even the voice was choked in the throat, and it was almost impossible to speak.

Francisco: "Don't say it...don't say it...that Argentine is really the stupidest man in the world."

Yue Yihuang: "I... I don't know what to do. I was just thinking, so he can accept the same sex, so he can't... Then why, why didn't I tell him earlier... I always thought he He only likes beautiful girls, and I have always felt that it would be better for him not to change this..."

That night, neither Yue Yihuang nor Francisco went back to the hotel where the team arranged for them to stay. Instead, they strolled through this midnight Barcelona, ​​which told endless love and sorrow, recalling the beauty of their youth and reminiscing about their childhood. bitterness.Until...the first rays of morning light pierced the sky from the sea level.

"I'm sorry for saying this to you, but I just can't hold that much in my heart anymore..."

"Don't tell me you're sorry. You know, I wouldn't want you to tell that Argentinian any more."

Francisco didn't kiss the other party, but just tried his best to warm the other party with his own body temperature, at least... this time, when his shadow front recalled those things, he was by his side.And, this man finally told him everything he thought in his heart, didn't he?

At least...these are things that the Argentine doesn't know.

Perhaps, he could only comfort himself in this way.

"Let's go, it's time to go back to the hotel. Don't make them worry."

As the sun once again dissipated Barcelona's melancholy, allowing her to bloom with the passion the world is known for, Francisco said.The young shadow front nodded, and the two stopped a Barcelona taxi and headed to where their club was.

It's time to end, everything to do with Barcelona.

Perhaps they urgently need Turin to heal those hurts at this moment.
