A few days later, in Turin, in Yue Yihuang's rented apartment.

“在刚刚结束的意甲联赛第32轮比赛中，AC米兰2：1绝杀尤文图斯，由此以总积分72分跃升至意甲联赛总积分榜的No.1！而2023～2024赛季意甲联赛的所有比赛也就此结束。本赛季排名第二的是尤文图斯，No.3佛罗伦萨，No.4罗马……”

As one of the Serie A teams, the Torino team ended all games of the season one day earlier.Many of their teammates took the plane out of Turin on the day of the end of the game, either to see family members whom they had not seen for a long time, or to start this year's vacation early.Of course, there are also a few teammates who have been called up by the national team and are about to turn around and join the European Championship that will kick off in more than 20 days.After this, only on the second day, the city of Turin actually gave Yue Yihuang an inexplicable... empty feeling.

Perhaps, he should go to Barcelona, ​​to see his mother?

Or, Toure will arrange a full job for him?

Just when he was thinking about it, Francisco came to his house again for a meal.Even brought a cake and flowers prepared by Siwok in advance.Instead, it brought a touch of warmth to Yue Yihuang's seemingly deserted home.

At dinner, Yue Yihuang also experimented with the grilled pineapple that he read online that said it would be good for people with frequent sports injuries.However, when two footballers on the same team get together, the main topic of conversation between them will still be football.Therefore, during dinner, Yue Yihuang turned on the TV, and the two watched football news together.

The game that ended today was a battle for the league championship, so it was extremely intense.Even Juventus' most iconic old woman style of play has been diluted a lot and has become more bloody.

The two watched the news together, and even the food was forgotten.

What broke the atmosphere was Yue Yihuang's sneeze.

For some reason, Yue Yihuang sneezed continuously in late May.This allowed Francisco to take his full attention away from the TV.

"It was the same after the game yesterday. Did you catch a cold?"

"Impossible, it's almost June."

Seeing Yue Yihuang's indifferent look, Francisco frowned disapprovingly.If possible, he really wanted to get close to the person next to him and touch his forehead to make sure he was really okay.However, he abruptly stopped this impulse.I want to take Yue Yihuang to see the team doctor in the evening. The team doctor is from Turin, and he should be at home at this time, instead of going to bed early at the end of the last game like most players in the Turin team. left the city.

As for the result?Of course, Yue Yihuang laughed at him severely.

"I don't believe that my body, which can't get sick after being drenched in the rain all night in November, would have such an inexplicable cold."

Yue Yihuang originally wanted to use this fact to block all unnecessary worries of Francisco, but this caused a new round of problems.

"When? When did this happen?"

Just when Francisco was about to investigate further, Yue Yihuang's mobile phone message alert sounded, making Yue Yihuang, who was closely watched by Francisco, feel amnesty.He quickly picked up the phone, looked a little surprised when he saw the sender and the content of the text message, and then replied the text message with a smile.

This reaction of Yue Yihuang made Francisco feel a little surprised, Yue Yihuang who saw his expression did not hide anything from him, and talked to his partner about the person who just sent him a text message.

"It was a text from Alan. He told me he was back in the UK and asked if I had made it home as well."

"Ellen?"

When Francisco heard the name, he couldn't help frowning.Obviously, he's heard the name, and it's a name that reminds him a lot.But obviously, the Allen he knew should have nothing to do with Yue Yihuang anyway.

Yue Yihuang is different from Francisco, his circle of friends is very small.Apart from the group of boyhood friends who played in Barcelona, ​​​​Francisco basically knew everyone he knew.That's why Francisco was surprised by the sudden appearance of the name.

"Yes. He's a friend I met in the Colosseum."

As he said that, Yue Yihuang directly recalled the group photo he took with Allen that day.Yue Yihuang's mobile phone has very high pixels, and the shooting effect is also very good.The picture is based on the Roman Colosseum.

Two black-haired boys with very different temperaments stood very close.One of them has a warm smile. He doesn't look strong or strong, but there is a force that cannot be ignored in his body lines.The other one... is completely attracting people's attention the first time they see him, as if when he looks at you, you will be sucked into his eyes by him, temperament Classic yet uniquely stunning.

At this moment, Francisco was startled.And then...he couldn't calm down any more.However, he still wanted to keep his emotions in his eyes, so as not to let Yue Yihuang notice his abnormality.

"Have you finished eating? If it's finished, I'll put the tableware in and wash it first, and then we can slowly eat the dessert you brought. That's right! I still have a few bottles of wine from my friend here, It tastes very good, open a bottle today."

"okay."

Francisco, who was thinking about something, didn't grasp the point of Yue Yihuang's words, he just nodded, and then his eyes continued to stay on the photo in Yue Yihuang's mobile phone.

Yue Yihuang's cell phone was placed on the table, but Francisco was able to confirm the identity of the other party with almost a glance from a distance.

Alan Usayare.

A Czech developed in the British film industry.

Francisco pulled out his cell phone, which had a photo of the man texting him the day before.

[Sisko, congratulations on getting sixth in the league.Tomorrow there will be a program I recorded on Sky at 09:30pm.Maybe you will like it. 】

He took a heavy look at this text message, and then took another look at Yue Yihuang who was still in the kitchen at the moment.

Now the time is 45:[-]. After hesitating for a while, Francisco picked up the TV remote control panel, first turned the volume to the lowest level, and then adjusted the channels one by one.

Finally, when he turned to No.30 six channels, he saw British Sky TV.And that side face, which looked extremely beautiful under the soft light, appeared unexpectedly on that talk TV show.

"I heard that you went to Italy for vacation a few days ago? How do you feel?"

"Well, I want to say...it feels very good. Although I missed a lot of famous sights in Rome because of the weather. But I ran into a star I like very much there."

"Oh, now? I remember that you publicly expressed your appreciation for Francisco. And there were more than one visits to the Chelsea club where he was at the game. As far as I know, this British teenager and young woman's heart Lover just now goes to Italy to play football."

"I think I need to admit that Francesco is a very attractive guy. On and off the pitch. But it's not him that I'm talking about."

"Aha, that player is really lucky. But I am more interested in which star can get your favor. May I have this honor?"

"Of course. He's a Chinese player who plays in Serie A. His name is Yue. He's a boy who... makes people want to get close to him."

As if deliberately not wanting Yue Yihuang to know, Francisco turned down the volume of the TV so that he could hear clearly when he was sitting in the living room.Although, he knew that Yue Yihuang's English was not good, even if he turned up the normal volume, he might not be able to understand what the program was talking about under such circumstances.

When he heard what Alan was talking to the host now, Francisco took a deep breath, and then looked solemnly at the British entertainment program.

In this entertainment program, there is often a main host, and a second host who observes and does not interrupt, interviewing the most popular movie actors in a very relaxed atmosphere .And the protagonist of today's entertainment program... is the actor Alan who became popular in the past two years because of a magical love movie about vampires.

That's right, that's the Allen who took a photo with Yue Yihuang in the arena.

Obviously, in the film, Allen fell in love with and protected the heroine's three reincarnations since the Middle Ages, and chose to sleep forever after the heroine's three reincarnations died, which moved most of the teenagers nowadays.

Almost coquettish handsomeness and melancholy, classical and elegant, these several characteristics are perfectly combined in him.

People will never forget his appearance just by looking at him.

And it is such a young film actor who is very popular in the UK nowadays and is almost becoming the idol of all teenagers. At this time, he is actually talking about Yue Yihuang on TV, talking about his chance encounter with him in Rome.

"After meeting him I watched the final of the Coppa Italia in Torino against Roma. I have seen him more than one game and I can say that this game is the best he has played since he moved to Turin. It was a bloody game. That really shocked me, and I really can't imagine that the performance in the game can almost be described as fierce. A player with such tenacious willpower and resilience is in real life. Such a peaceful person.

He doesn't seem to know who I am.Also thought I failed to recognize who he was.So I started a... ambiguous little game with him.It was as if we were both just ordinary tourists who went to Rome that day.I thought, then I must ask him some questions that ordinary tourists would ask him?So I asked him 'Do you know where I can buy the Rome pass? '. "

As he spoke, Allen imitated the tone and tone of his conversation with Yue Yihuang in a more exaggerated way.Even if Francisco does not listen to his voice but just looks with his eyes, he can understand the situation at that time through his expression, eyes and mouth shape.

The two on-site hosts laughed loudly, and even Allen himself laughed after saying that sentence.But Francisco is not at all relaxed.

That show was still going on, and the presenters rushed to ask Alan what Yue Yihuang answered next.Allen fell into a memory at this moment, a memory that seemed to make his mood better.

"He said he didn't know where it was sold, but he could look for it for me. Then he looked at his map, pointed me to the right way, and left the map in his hand when he left. Gave it to me."

"Oh, he's such a nice fellow."

"Yes, that is indeed the case. In fact, I brought a picture of me with him that day. I hope it doesn't offend him."

At this point in the show, a group photo of the two of them was released on the screen, which was almost identical to the photo in Yue Yihuang's phone, but with a slightly changed angle.While this was only taken without either makeup on or lighting of any kind, it certainly doesn't detract from the duo's stellar looks.

"Actually, when I was returning to London this time, I saw an...interesting advertisement shot by Yue Yue at the airport. I think, even from the perspective of an actor, I can say that his performance is great. If there is an opportunity for me to carry out some commercial cooperation with him, I am willing to reduce my value appropriately, and this will not be a problem."

The host of the show had a humorous look on his face, but Francisco had a pensive look on his face...

Francisco was obviously a little absent-minded that night.Or...that's restlessness.He was so restless that he didn't realize that the bottle of red wine that Yue Yihuang opened tonight was a collection wine that only produced [-] bottles a year in Manor Lafite and was never distributed in the market...

That night, he left early.

However, he did not go directly to his home.

Francisco drove the car onto a road he was not familiar with. When he was close to the Po River, he stopped the car, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case in the car, walked out of the car, and looked at the Po He lit a cigarette for himself.

When the cigarette ran out, Francisco dialed Alan's number.

Allen: "Sisko? You really haven't contacted me for a long time."

Francisco: "Yes, because I think according to our two personalities, it is not suitable to be friends after separation."

When Francisco said this sentence, there was a soft laugh on the other end of the phone, with a sense of self-deprecation.

Alan: "Is it just because of my personality that makes you feel that it is not suitable to be friends anymore? In fact, I still haven't been able to understand the real reason why you proposed to separate from me at the beginning. The reason you said at that time can't be fooled Me. I can tell if a person is lying or telling the truth."

Francisco: "A gentleman needs to tell some white lies when the time is right."

Allen: "But I want to know."

The persistence and even paranoia in the other party's tone made Francisco sigh.After being silent for a long time, he finally said the answer that made the other party wait for a long time...but he didn't want to get it.

Francisco: "You are fine, I just... don't love anymore. The shelf life of the love between me and you has expired, that's all."

Allen: "Then why did you look at Yue Yihuang with that kind of gaze for so long? You have never looked at anyone with such gaze for such a long time in a year."

Francisco: "If I knew why, I wouldn't be so bothered."

Allen: "There is no love in his eyes when he looks at you, only dependence and trust."

Francisco: "Yes, I know it, and I know it better than anyone."

Allen: "So, can I be honest, wish you bad luck?"

Allen's words made Francisco couldn't help laughing, and then he finally said: "If you want to do this."

This sentence obviously succeeded in making Allen laugh, but before Allen's laughter stopped, he heard Francisco say in an absolutely serious tone: "Allen, don't shoot him, Don't do anything to him either."

"Don't worry, your charm is not that great. Up to now, I still have a good impression of him. Maybe I should say that your vision is not bad this time? I'm just... a little curious. Like you How long can a person love a person."

On the other hand, Yue Yihuang, who turned on the TV again after Francisco left, watched the last paragraph of the interview program featuring Allen as the main character, which made him suddenly realize that the same age person he met in the arena was actually a A movie actor who was so popular in the sky sent a text message to Francesco in surprise, and also sent a text message to Carl.

Carl's reply to his text messages, however, is intriguing.

[Don't get too close to Alan Usayare.He is dangerous. 】

Yue Yihuang frowned suspiciously when he saw this text message, then he raised his head again and looked at the TV screen.The talk show had run to the end, and at the end of the show, the program team showed Allen's highlights from that vampire movie.

The black-haired vampire between a teenager and a young man is so handsome that he doesn't seem human under the camera. He is wearing a black cloak, exposing a large area of ​​skin on his chest.Pale has nothing to do with thinness.Just the look of drooping eyelashes can reveal an indescribable melancholy and sadness.Then, he slowly opened his scarlet eyes, revealing a smile that could almost be called bright, and sharp fangs appeared at this moment.

Allen in the picture said in an intoxicatingly affectionate tone: "My love Libis, if one day I can no longer even pursue your reincarnation, I will choose to sleep with you... "
