[Football] The system upgrade task of the dream pitch

Some choices are destined to be inescapable from the very beginning.

The hustle and bustle of summer came to an end, and Zhu Xu had to make his choice.

"The task rating is perfect, and the customs clearance is successful."

Telling Zhu Xu's final scoring system this year, he turned into a human form again in a timely manner, quietly waiting for the host's choice.

Zhu Xu remembered a lot.

Redondo and Natalia who hugged him tenderly, Fernando and Federico who were held by him, and Luciana who sweetly called her "brother". Friends, Messi...

Finally, he recalled that it was the green lawn and the ball lying quietly in front of the goal.

"I……"

Zhu Xu hesitated for a long time.

He finally gave his answer.

…………

"Pig?"

Huh?daughter in law?

In the darkness, Zhu Xu heard the familiar voice of his friend.

Zhu Xu's eyelids moved, and before he opened his eyes, he heard Ramos yelling, "Doctor, come, come, Zhu Xu is awake~"

Zhu Xu opened his eyes, and a familiar face appeared.

Zhu Xu rolled his eyes, and his face was filled with confusion: "You guys look familiar? Could it be that I've already arrived, and when I see a good-looking man, it looks familiar even to men?"

Peipei rushed out in a hurry: "Come on, it's terrible, Zhu Xu has lost his memory!"

clap clap ~

The familiar racket head appears.

"Cris, why did you hit him?" Casillas hastily stopped the runaway Cristiano: "Zhu Xu, it's all like this, and you still hit him on the head."

Mourinho said lightly: "This kid will roll his eyes before he does something bad."

Facing the angry companions in the room, Zhu Xu grabbed the quilt: "What do you want to do? Don't, don't come here, daughter-in-law, cat, help~~"

I am back.

When the companions who cared about Zhu Xu left the ward one by one, Zhu Xu half leaned on the bedside thinking.

The smile faded from his face, and on the face of the much-loved little prince, there was exhaustion and sadness that could not be concealed.

He made a choice and returned to this world.

He is still a talented young player under the age of 20, with a bright and promising future; he is also No. 23 of Real Madrid, wearing a white jersey, and is the new "His Royal Highness" in the mouth of the fans.

But he is no longer the child of the prince of Real Madrid, and he is no longer the eldest son of Redondo who was sentenced to "defect" to La Masia and then returned to Castile.

Zhu Xu closed his eyes.

I choose to uninstall.

In his head, he said to the system that followed him back.

Just now, his cowardly system said that the current Zhu Xu has proved that he knows how to realize his dream no matter in good times or in adversity-Zhu Xu already has the most important one, never give up, and go forward bravely heart of.

Therefore, Zhu Xu can choose whether to uninstall the system.

Zhu Xu's gaze swept over his gleaming evaluation, and those active and passive skills.

In the past, in the world he left, everything he experienced has made Zhu Xu understand that he can do well even without relying on the system.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

The anthropomorphic system took a few steps forward, and hugged Zhu Xu on a conscious level.

"We can see souls."

That system, which has always been bullying and cowardly, is rare and serious: "I want you to know, host, your soul is so shining——"

"——Everything in the world will not embarrass you."

He blinked at Zhu Xu, and his figure gradually became unreal.

"Goodbye, Zhu Xu."

Following his voice, a strange feeling swept over Zhu Xu.

He let go of his fingers, and the white quilt slipped from his hand.

He knows he's in good shape and just needs gradual rehabilitation to get back to top form.

But he also understands that this system that has been with him for a long time and gave him the hope of being reborn also caused a series of things to trap him and left him completely.

Zhu Xu closed his eyes and looked up at the ceiling.

There was a knock on the door, out of season.

"Please come in."

Zhu Xu stabilized his mind, and with a hoarse voice, he gave the visitor permission to enter the room.

But he did not expect that it would be Messi.

At first glance, Messi rushed over in a hurry, and only had time to close the door before throwing himself down in front of Zhu Xu's bed: "Piggy!"

There was so much emotion in that voice.

Not only the concern for friends, but also the panic and worry between lovers.

Zhu Xu finally laughed again.

The corners of his lips curled into a small arc: "Balls."

He let Messi hug him.

"You still have me, you still have me."

Messi whispered in Zhu Xu's ear over and over again.

God knows how panicked he was when he closed and opened his eyes and found that the world had changed again—especially when he found out that Zhu Xu was still unconscious in the media reports.

Because of Zhu Xu's promise, Messi didn't worry too much about "whether Zhu Xu will not come back", but thinking that Zhu Xu would leave that world with him, Messi couldn't let go of his worry at all.

Because he is so clear about how deeply Zhu Xu has deep feelings for the Redondo family who adopted him in that world, and for the uncles and aunts who watched him grow up.

Messi chose to drive to Madrid for the first time.

As a result, he became the first player outside Real Madrid to see the waking Zhu Xu.

The moment he saw Zhu Xu, Messi was sure that this was his lover.

Messi didn't know if it would be useful, but he could only hug him and comfort Zhu Xu with words clumsily, trying to ease his sweetheart's pain.

"I know."

Zhu Xu hugged Messi back.

"Leo, I know you're here."

Zhu Xu's voice was low, and he buried his head on Messi's neck: "I'm just, a little uncomfortable."

He didn't expect Messi to come so soon.

But now, with him, Messi is always welcome.

What's more... In such a situation, with Messi around, Zhu Xu really felt a lot better.

He let out a sigh.

Messi froze and remained motionless.

It's not because the feeling of the warm breath is so clear, it's just because...

A warm feeling came from the area where Zhu Xu buried his head.

——It was Zhu Xu's tears.

"I'm here."

Messi maintained the same posture and spoke softly.

Zhu Xu didn't answer, but Messi could feel that the force coming from the arm that hugged him was stronger.

…………

"God's Gift" The Prince Wakes Up ~ Prince Bernabéu woke up on Christmas Eve. We believe that he was invited by God to play a game.

"Bizarre coma for half a year, Zhu Xu woke up last night"

"The Return of the Prince"

"China World Cup Thrilling Scene" The captain of the Chinese team woke up before the top 10 match.

Amid countless media reports on Zhu Xu's awakening, Zhu Xu boarded a flight to England.

With Real Madrid unable to rehabilitate him and regain his form, renting Arsenal has become a better choice for Zhu Xu.

He quickly gained a foothold in North London, and his gradual recovery has also made his performance on the court better and better.

At the same time, because of the frequent videos and occasional visits of Real Madrid's friends, Zhu Xu's relationship with them has never been alienated.

But sometimes, Zhu Xu is also a little confused.

"Is not it good?"

Messi, who often watched Zhu Xu so often that there was a lot of "transfer news" at the beginning, asked back after hearing Zhu Xu's words.

"It's a little weird."

Zhu Xu shrugged.

The odd man mainly refers to Real Madrid's captain, Igor Casillas.

How should I put it, Zhu Xu felt... Since he woke up, the Ka team has been too kind to him.

It's not like the card team that tried to train the next captain of Real Madrid in the past, but like Igor who dotes on Zhu Xu in another world.

His brother Igor.

Before Zhu Xu fully adjusted his mood, he was actually a little afraid to meet some people.

Such as Raul, such as Guti, such as Casillas.

Instead, he doesn't have to worry about Fernando Redondo, after all, in this world, his relationship with Redondo is not very close.

The trajectories of the world and the world are too inconsistent. If Zhu Xu can reluctantly accept returning to an unfamiliar position after getting along with each other intimately, then think of the situation of these people he values ​​in this world and compare it with another world. The situation...that made Zhu Xu suffocate.

Fortunately, he has a big heart and is strong enough. Soon, he will be able to prevent those gloomy emotions from affecting him too much.

But Zhu Xu didn't expect that the card team he was familiar with had changed.

Intimate attitude, pure concern...

Casillas, who appeared in front of Zhu Xu, was more like his brother Igor than the "Captain of Real Madrid" he was familiar with.

But in this world, it is clear that Redondo has not obtained a coaching certificate, and Guti has not been the captain of Real Madrid. Before Zhu Xu appeared, he was still worrying about the next captain of Real Madrid.

"How about you treat Casillas as your brother Igor?"

Messi suggested.

After all, he knew that Raul and Guti also showed unusual closeness to Zhu Xu.

At that time, Zhu Xu was as puzzled as he is now, with some uneasiness.

"we can only do this."

Recalling the mood at that time, Zhu Xu was a little amused, and felt a little sore in his heart: "Balball, if this goes on like this, I will have the illusion that I am still living in that world."

Messi glanced at him: "For me, as long as you are happy."

As long as we are together.

He added something from the bottom of his heart.

After the one-and-a-half-year loan period expired, Zhu Xu left the championship he brought to Arsenal and returned to Madrid.

The fans who picked up the plane shouted "Welcome home", and Zhu Xu knew that he would not let them down again.

In the 14/15 season, Zhu Xu, who returned to Real Madrid, together with his familiar and unfamiliar teammates, won the league championship for Real Madrid.

At the same time, he successfully entered into the relationship with Real Madrid star Fernando Redondo.

"Federigo played really well."

Zhu Xu sighed.

During the summer break of this year, Zhu Xu, who successfully got an invitation from Redondo, set aside plenty of time for this trip in Argentina—just kidding, staying at Redondo’s and having Redondo as his How could Zhu Xu refuse the tour guide's invitation to play?

At this moment, he and Redondo watched Fernando Jr. playing football with Federico.

"If he knows you say that, he must be very happy."

Looking at Zhu Xu with those familiar brown eyes, Zhu Xu restrained himself for a long time before he yelled "Daddy".

"I'm glad he likes me~"

Zhu Xu smiled brightly, then blinked: "I want to play football too."

He walked towards the brothers in his memory.

There is no doubt that Zhu Xu is happy.

After all, even though he was very sure that Fernando Jr., Federico and even Luciana would never have the memory of "Zhu Xu is an older brother", they were very close and enthusiastic to him from the first meeting.

just like……

They regard Zhu Xu as a family member.

Redondo watched the three of them having fun on the lawn.

"It's such a joyful scene."

Natalia, who walked over at some unknown time, sat beside Redondo.

"Yes."

Redondo nodded slightly.

He knew that his wife, who saw this scene, might have the same thought as himself—and this kind of thought had been communicated with Natalia by Redondo as early as the night when Zhu Xu came to the door on the first day.

——They all felt that this Chinese with black hair and black eyes was very kind.

It was as kind as if they once had a very beloved child named "Zhu Xu".

This feeling reached its peak when the children finished their "game", Zhu Xu came over naturally, Lei Dongdo unconsciously raised his hand to ruffle his hair, and Zhu Xu was extremely obedient.

Zhu Xu, who didn't know what Lei Dongduo was thinking in his heart, just felt that all this was really wonderful.

It was much better than what he had imagined when he first came back.

In the new season, Real Madrid won the Champions League and Zhu Xu won another Golden Globe.

Parents and close friends on both sides of his relationship with Messi already know about it, and everything is getting better and better.

In the past few years, Zhu Xu, Messi, and Cristiano have won almost all important football awards, and with Casillas showing his intention to retire, everyone knows that Zhu Xu is about to take over Real Madrid Captain's armband.

When the summer break of the 16/17 season came, Zhu Xu once again came to Redondo House.

This time, they talked a lot.

About Zhu Xu's choice, about Zhu Xu's future, about his determination.

Like a real father and son.

"I would consider accepting the offer from Real Madrid."

At the end of the conversation, Redondo calmly threw out a bomb.

Zhu Xu froze in place.

The Chinese, who is about to turn 25 this year, showed a very silly expression very rarely.

He knew that the team's coaching staff for next season had not yet been determined, and he also knew that the man with golden brown hair in front of him was one of the candidates.

But Zhu Xu didn't think that a man who had passed the coaching certification test and had a good coaching record over the years would consider agreeing, and would even reveal this decision to himself in advance.

"Zhu Xu."

Redondo stood up and gently rubbed the smooth black hair of the other party: "I just think it would be a very regrettable thing if I can't coach you."

Zhu Xu didn't know that he let out a choked sob.

He thought of Messi's understanding and encouraging eyes before he came here, and he thought of Redondo who treated him so well and so well in another world.

"Fernando... Senior."

Zhu Xu looked up at Lei Dongdo: "You are like my father."

"Oh, that's good."

The brown-haired and brown-eyed man's reaction completely exceeded Zhu Xu's expectations.

"I actually feel that you are like my son."

Those words broke all Zhu Xu's defenses, and he couldn't help standing up, hugging the Argentine in front of him.

This……

Zhu Xu was both excited and terrified.

He had a guess.

It turned out to be the case.

Zhu Xu finally understood.

"I am looking forward to your arrival~"

After letting go of Lei Dongdo, Zhu Xu's voice was full of joy.

Lei Dongduo patted Zhu Xu on the shoulder, showing him a doting smile.

This time, Zhu Xu felt so at ease.

"What good happened?"

"I just found out that Fernando likes me very much."

"You deserve everyone's love."

After returning home, Messi asked his lover who exuded "I am very happy".

"No, no, no, Fernando said, he treats me like his own son."

Messi was a little shocked.

But he quickly came to his senses. After all, Fernando Redondo had treated Zhu Xu very well in the past two years.

"It's really something to be happy about."

Messi nodded: After all, no one in this world knows better than him what the Redondo family means to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu looked at his lover with a smile.

He thought of his system, the phrase "Nothing in the world will make things difficult for you" he said before leaving, and also remembered the anthropomorphic system at that time, the weird smile on his face.

thank you.

Zhu Xu read silently, full of gratitude and joy.

[Extras to this chapter]

"What is his choice?"

The man in black robe looked straight at the void, and the quiet darkness seemed to give him the answer he wanted.

"Then I should go too."

Under the bright starlight, this man with the same face as Zhu Xu stood up and walked forward.

No, perhaps it should be said that Zhu Xu's appearance is the same as his - after all, when Zhu Xu got the dream system and made his appearance choice, he referred to this man's image.

"Aren't you going to meet him?"

If Zhu Xu heard this questioning voice, Zhu Xu would be very surprised: this is the voice of his dream system.

"It's not necessary."

The dark-haired man - the Dream Shopkeeper - replied calmly, "I know everything he does."

He suddenly laughed: "After all, that's me in another world."

"I know you gave him a present."

The long road that spread silently in the void was about to come to an end, and the dream shopkeeper stopped at the entrance of the world: "As a recognition and thanks to him, let me also contribute to this gift."

He raised his hand, and the golden light on the robe shone brighter.

Dots of light rose from the void, and then those dreamy light spots all flew into the world where Zhu Xu returned.

"Everything in the world will not embarrass him."

The Dream Shopkeeper whispered.

Then he bid farewell to the system and embarked on his journey.

Another thick and long chapter~
