my soulmate is a free man

After the Chicago station, the Chinese team accumulated 9 wins and 3 losses, and they are only 10 win away from their final goal, which is to hit the final line of 5 wins and 1 losses.

This distance is like a natural moat for them, because in the last station they will participate in, that is, the Italian station, they will face three opponents, namely the French team, the Russian team, and the Italian team.

The Russian team is currently ranked number one in the world.

Italy is currently ranked third in the world.

The French team, currently ranked fifth in the world, defeated the Russian team in the Tokyo Olympics to win the men's volleyball championship.

The Italian station is a real hell mode. To win a victory from these three teams, the difficulty is not much lower than rushing to the Olympic final!

After seeing the list of matches in Italy, Lu Xuandong sorted out the past results of these three teams and posted them on the Internet overnight, so that the fans can understand that the Chinese team has encountered a strong enemy. I hope everyone can watch the match rationally.

At the same time, he planned to send a message to Qin Chunxiao to show concern for Xiao Qin.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chunxiao went to him first and asked him something.

Qin Chunxiao [Dongzai, when I was watching the news recently, I found that Liu Zhiqi on the side of the sand row seemed to have broken up with his fiancé. Do you have contacts in that circle, can you help me find out?I wonder if they are really divided. 】

Lu Xuandong [Wait a minute. 】

Lu Xuandong quickly searched the Internet for relevant information, and found that Liu Zhiqi was the top player in the domestic beach men's volleyball team. His performance began to decline after he split with his former partner. However, he was on a romance show with his explicit soul mate before. Therefore, the popularity on the Internet has not decreased but increased.

Then he called Long Zitan, and when the call was connected, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums, and a group of aunts singing happily, singing "a big river with wide waves..."

Long Zitan raised his voice: "Hey, Brother Dong, your brother and I are practicing chorus together with our aunts. What's the matter with you?"

Lu Xuandong was silent for a few seconds, and asked about gossip, Long Zitan also replied "wait", and 1 minute later, Long Zitan replied on WeChat.

Caiwang-Xiaolong [It’s a split, that Liu Zhiqi’s soul mate is Sun Feng, an abstinence model, and the character design is very good, but he participated in a same-sex multi-person party a few months ago and got sick. The whole company Qi Qi went to the hospital, and everyone in the circle laughed. Liu Zhiqi also contracted the disease out of nowhere, and broke up with Sun Feng. 】

Facing such filthy information, Lu Xuandong thought for a while and answered questions selectively.

Lu Xuandong【They broke up. Recently, Liu Zhiqi will go to Italy to participate in a beach volleyball event. The venue is very close to your next destination. If you meet, don’t eat with him. I was infected with a bad disease by my ex-fiancé. 】

Just the day before yesterday, Liu Zhiqi and her current boyfriend announced their breakup on social platforms. It is said that after being together for a year, they finally found that they are soul mates, and they are more suitable to be friends than to fall in love, because they are too tough. , unable to tolerate each other's edges and corners.

Liu Zhiqi's ex-fiancé is a model, likes smoking and drinking, and has been romantic in the past. Before they separated, the relationship with Liu Zhiqi had deteriorated to the extreme. The breakup made many soul mate CP fans sad.

Lu Xuandong knew that Liu Zhiqi's illness was very tragic, but he cared more about Qin Chunxiao's safety.

Qin Chunxiao【...Okay, I will pay attention. 】

Qin Chunxiao [Brother Xiaole called for a long time in the corridor today, and he was in a bad mood when he came back. I was worried about him, so I asked you for a question, thank you. 】

Chang Xiaole is the accompanying coach of the men's volleyball team, Qin Chunxiao's good buddy, Liu Zhiqi's ex-partner and ex-boyfriend.

After the conversation between the two ended, Lu Xuandong remembered that he hadn't told Qin Chunxiao about the dangers of the Italian race, and wished Xiaoqin's team a smooth match, and advised him not to have too much psychological pressure.

Lu Xuandong sighed, forget it, Xiaozai is a professional athlete, he must know these words better than himself.

Regarding the Italian station, Newton also did psychological work for the players before the game: "Those three teams may not fight us hard in the sub-race, so what we have to deal with is only them in a regular state. This is good news. right?"

Jiang Xiaohai said coolly: "Yes, but we are the most bullied team in Italy. Compared with the other two strong teams, they should be determined to win this match against us."

Comparing your heart to your heart, if you let Jiang Xiaohai see a soft persimmon in front of you, but ask him not to squeeze it, it will feel like letting a cat not play with wool balls, it is obviously impossible to do.

Assistant coach Jiang's words made the team fall into silence.

Newton turned his attention to Dunzi. He believed that at this time, the team spirit was better than the coach.

Qin Chunxiao received the coach's signal, nodded clearly, stood up and said: "Everyone, the so-called atmosphere is here, and I'm sorry if nothing happens. We have won nine games. If we don't win this last game, we will enter the final. It would be embarrassing too."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qin thought of the opponents he had dated, such as XX from Brazil, XX from Poland, and XX from XX.

Hey, ten fingers can't be counted, how strange, with such a friendly and lovely personality, how could he make an appointment with so many people to meet in the finals?

It must be those opponents who like to provoke people.

For my own face, in order to go to a higher stage.

Qin Chunxiao: "It's no big deal, it's just that we have to play against the No. 14, No. [-], and No. [-] teams in the world. Our current world ranking is No.[-]! The gap with them is not as big as it used to be! Anyway, I have to play against them in the Olympics, so relax!"

After finishing speaking, Que Hun Dun gave a thumbs up.

His best teammates felt something was wrong.

Fu Biyang whispered to Mao Xunfeng, "Xiaozai has made appointments with many people in the final, and all the words have been released. If he doesn't make it to the final, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

Mao Xunfeng: "Yes, but what he said is also reasonable. The atmosphere is here. It is unreasonable for us not to enter the final. This year seems to be the closest we are to the VNL final, right?"

Ding Rong, Gao Depi, and Tong Shulan murmured: "We are all getting old, and we still have injuries. I don't know if we will be in the same state next year. We won't make it this year, and we will improve in the next one." not going."

Tong Shulan took it for granted: "Yes, after all, I will be one year older next year, and youth passes quickly."

Gao Depi thought more: "Besides, after Coach Yang brought us out of the results, didn't Zhao Laogui come to pick peaches immediately? Although Lao Niu's level of trickery is not bad, but in case there is another backstage What about the guy who is tougher than Old Ghost Zhao? Let's seize every opportunity we have now."

Newton was expressionless: "Xiaopi, the coach heard what you said, thank you for your concern for the coach's career, but I don't need you to worry about it yet."

So everyone agreed on the plane that they will go all out at the Italian station!

Qiao Mingming patted Qin Chunxiao's head: "Don't worry, Xiaozi, we will definitely enter the final."

When going to see Lake Michigan, Qiao Mingming felt the love of Xiaozai's teammates, and now he has to support Xiaozai.

"That's right, that's right, we will definitely help you join Sebastian and Dominic in the final."

"Xiaozi, don't worry, you have the best teammates in the world!"

"We're sure to make it to the final!"

It seems that Xiao Qin can not only swing between the two positions of support and free man, but also serve as the team father and group pet at the same time.

When they arrived at the airport, the Chinese team discovered that one of their opponents, the Italian team, had sent someone to pick them up!

The free agent Dario and the deputy attacker Louis who met them in the World Youth Championship were all there.

Dario is the only defensive genius who can compete with Billy and Qin Chunxiao for the title of best free agent in the Tokyo Olympic cycle.

Louie is the protagonist of the volleyball tactical board joke.

Since everyone is old friends, the Chinese team greeted them very familiarly.

In addition to these two, Godpi's teammate in the ENEL club, the world's number one setter Mattia, also came over. He was wearing a floral shirt, beige beach pants, flip flops, black hair and black eyes , the eyes are particularly big, and the height is 1.9 meters nine.

Seeing Gao Depi, Mattia stepped forward with a smile: "My good brother, I watched every game of yours in VNL, and your return of serve is better than before."

The way these three people greet each other is very quiet, they only move their mouths but not their hands.

Qiao Mingming and Fu Biyang's teammates at the BBQ Fork Club were much more heroic.

In the club with them are three strong men, with an average height of [-] meters and a pleasing figure, which fascinates the onlookers. They bumped their chests in pity.

Qin Chunxiao didn't mean anything else, just wanted to sigh that the movement of their chest bumping sounded horrifying.

And just after leaving the airport, they saw several luxury cars lined up. It was said that they were donated to the club by the sponsors of the BBQ Fork Club.

Qin Chunxiao guessed that the business of those sponsors was only a sideline business, and the main business should be the mafia.

But the luxury car feels okay to sit in. At least the sound insulation is pretty good. During the half-hour journey from the airport to the hotel, Qin Chunxiao, who couldn't make up for the jet lag, even took a nap.

Outside the car window, the bright sunshine and the Mediterranean wind came in through the cracks of the window. Chang Xiaole turned down the temperature of the air conditioner, took off his coat and covered Qin Chunxiao.

Qin Chunxiao is indeed quite adaptable to low temperature. When he was playing volleyball in Russia, he had a snowball fight with others in a short-sleeved T-shirt, but he is indeed an athlete with only single-digit body fat. Chang Xiaole always subconsciously I think his cold resistance is not enough.

Qin Chunxiao opened his eyes bewilderedly, and Chang Xiaole quickly said, "You sleep with your bed, it hasn't arrived yet."

Qin Chunxiao closed her eyes again, tilted her head, and leaned on Qiao Mingming's shoulder. Qiao Mingming was also dozing off. She felt someone approaching, but she just moved subconsciously. Her huge body shrank into a corner, which was a bit pitiful.

After arriving at the hotel, Qin Chunxiao opened his eyes and got out of the car with a yawn. Only then did he discover the first shortcoming of the car, that is, the doors were not well designed and could not be opened from the inside, requiring help from the outside.

The driver said: "This car is designed to be driven on the outside, and the passengers just sit and enjoy it."

Qin Chunxiao asked very simply: "Then if the car catches fire, wouldn't it be difficult for me to escape?"

The driver was speechless.

They live in a five-star hotel. There is a golden sandy beach next to the hotel. There are tall palm trees at the entrance of the hotel. People who pass by are dressed in cool clothes. Many people have healthy wheat-colored skin, shining in the sun. With a healthy glow.

When they entered the hotel, they also saw a group of beautiful sisters queuing up to board the bus at the entrance of the hotel.

Mattia introduced: "Miss Universe was filming here recently."

Fu Biyang is not interested in that at all. He likes Wang Chuntian's one, and the others are relatively calm. They don't poke their heads over there. After all, they face Qin Chunxiao every day, and their threshold is already very high. It's pretty cool to surprise them. hard.

On the contrary, the white-haired old man who was in charge of leading the team took a few glances at this side, and pointed this side together with several ladies who were traveling with him.

"Those athletes are really good."

"They're all tall and have long legs."

The volleyball players are all tall, with good figures and proportions, and all of them have long legs. From the perspective of professional beauty contestants, these Chinese people are worthy of being described as beautiful.

While waiting for dinner, the white-haired old man ran over to strike up a conversation. At that time, Fu Biyang was talking with the coaches, and then found an opportunity to connect to Wang Chuntian's video WeChat, and asked her many things gently and considerately. Newton and Jiang Xiaohai didn't bother to care He, and none of the other players are here.

When Fu Biyang's video call came to an end, the white-haired old man talked to Fu Biyang: "Hi, Biyang, long time no see."

Fu Biyang turned his head, with a blank look in his eyes: "Hello."

Who is this old gentleman?

The white-haired old man introduced himself: "I'm Robert, the producer of Miss Universe. We met before at Milan Fashion Week. Are you here to play volleyball?"

Fu Biyang still didn't remember who the old man was, but he replied politely: "Yes, we are all members of the Chinese men's volleyball team, and we are here to participate in the VNL's Italian sub-station."

Robert: "They all seem to be very good young people."

As a producer of a beauty pageant, Robert doesn't know how strong these players are, and when evaluating them, he is also from an aesthetic point of view.

He looked at Aizmat and Min Yaoyang with eyes full of love, and finally asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Where's the shortest boy?"

When Robert asked, both Newton and Jiang Xiaohai looked suddenly enlightened.

In other words, the only one in their team that the producer of the aesthetic program can come over to say hello, isn't it Xiaozai who has already won the title of the most handsome guy in the volleyball world?

Newton laughed and pointed outside the hotel: "That kid played in the Russian Volleyball League for one season. The Russian volleyball team called him away before. Now they should play beach volleyball under the hotel."

Robert: "Beach volleyball?"

Newton got up: "Yeah, beach volleyball, a sand volleyball competition is being held nearby, and there are many good players here. I'll take you to have a look. I'm also curious about how well that kid can play with professional sand volleyball players." .”

At 19:00 Italian time, the sun had slipped into the sea, the moon had risen, and a bonfire was lit on the beach. Robert arrived at the beach with Newton, only to find that there were many big men at least 1.9 meters and two meters surrounded by two meters. There are 10 more than one!

They were men's volleyball players from Russia, Italy, and France. If Robert was a volleyball fan, he would have been screaming at those stars by now.

Roman, Sidney, and Mattia, these three names are the pinnacle of human beings in volleyball, a perfect combination of skill and strength.

But now, the eyes of these stars are all on the sand volleyball field.

Qin Chunxiao and a man with an unshaven beard were standing on the playing field. Qin Chunxiao was standing in front of the net, while his temporary partner was making a serve pose. On the opposite side of the net were Liu Zhiqi and his partner.

Unshaven sent the ball high, and the two men on the opposite side of the net started to catch the ball, but they returned in vain.

Qiao Mingming stood at the referee's position and signaled for the Xiaozai team to score another point.

Newton led Robert to a handsome man with blond hair, dark skin and a very hot figure.

"Xiao Le, how are they playing?"

Chang Xiaole didn't respond.

Newton raised his voice and called out again: "Xiao Le!"

Chang Xiaole came back to his senses, and when he turned his head, Robert realized that this beautiful man had tears in his eyes.

"They have been gaining the upper hand." Chang Xiaole wiped his face: "I don't know when Xiaozai has developed the basics of sand volleyball. Liu Zhiqi's partner is not strong enough, and he himself is not in good condition, so Xiaozai and the others quickly Won."

Chang Xiaole laughed again while talking: "It's the first time I've seen Xiaozai look so irritable."

Before Liu Zhiqi came to invite Chang Xiaole to dinner, it seemed that he was planning to have a talk with him. Chang Xiaole was going to accept the invitation, but Qin Chunxiao who was passing by grabbed the coconut from Fu Biyang's hand and threw it on the ground between them.

"Brother Xiao Le still has to play ball with us, and can't have dinner with irrelevant people!"

After Chang Xiaole blinked, Xiaozai was already standing in front of him, with his chin and upper body raised, as if protecting him: "Listen up, Brother Xiaole is very busy."

Qin Chunxiao knew that Liu Zhiqi's illness was terrible, but he cared more about Chang Xiaole's safety!

Liu Zhiqi knew this new volleyball star who had become famous in China. He frowned and looked at Chang Xiaole: "Xiao Le, let this kid step aside, I really want to talk to you about the past."

Qin Chunxiao was angry: "Who are you calling a child!"

Then he got into a fight with Liuzhiqi. Qin Chunxiao, who spoke Cantonese mixed with Mandarin, sprayed Liuzhiqi dizzily. There were Er Leng and Xiaoji beside him, so Li Ling could only help out by shouting, "I'm on top." You're a lung." Fu Biyang was more intimidating, because as long as Liu Zhiqi saw Fu Xiaoji's arms, he didn't dare to do anything. He could only propose to use volleyball to decide the victory, thinking of using sand volleyball Clean up each other.

This decision saved his life, because if he really did it, the scene would most likely turn into Qin Chunxiao violently beating a scumbag, Chang Xiaole and Fu Biyang summoned up all their courage to fight one left and one right, and Li Ling called an ambulance.

Originally, Qin Chunxiao wanted to call You Ziyu, who had experience in sand volleyball, to be his partner, but he was lucky. When he arrived at the beach, he saw the Rio men's sand volleyball champion, Christen Fisher, who was unshaven. .

Chang Xiaole also played against the opponent in Rio, but unfortunately he suffered a serious back injury and was eliminated by the opponent within a few rounds.

This kind buddy not only lent them the venue to play the game, but after taking a look at Chang Xiaole, he resolutely recommended himself as Qin Chunxiao's partner.

Newton stretched out his finger and circled the big and tall people around: "Then Xiaozai, players from other countries?"

Chang Xiaole: "I don't know where they came from, but they have been watching for a long time, and Sidney from France also pulled Roman, saying that when Xiaozai finished packing the willow flag, he would go to the field to fight them .”
