[Football] The system upgrade task of the dream pitch

"Going for a walk in Mandela Square?"

Messi is not sure.

"Would you like to take a photo with the Mandela statue, Briquette?"

"Kind of thinking? I mean, it's an iconic building after all."

Zhu Xu hehe: "Based on your current state, are you sure you didn't become an iconic figure after you went there and were chased by others for a group photo?"

Messi was speechless.

June 6 is the third rest day after Argentina arrived in South Africa, and the Argentine players have their own choices.After reuniting with his family and sharing lunch, Messi and his close friend Zhu Xu discussed how to spend the rare rest time in the small villa next to the Argentine training camp.

"Speaking of it, I still don't understand. Why do you have to be so accurate and wait until my brothers and sisters are gone?"

Zhu Xu rolled his eyes: "Are you stupid? Briquette, why did I come early to disturb your family gathering?"

"It won't really bother you."

Messi stared into Zhu Xu's eyes seriously: "You are me...I mean, you are as important to me as family."

Zhu Xu felt something was wrong.

It is reasonable to say that when he heard the words of briquettes, he would definitely laugh and say something like "So I am so important to you, briquettes", but at this moment, when Messi said to himself seriously, "You mean so much to me." It's very important." Zhu Xu didn't even have the slightest intention of joking.

Instead, he felt very, very ironic.

He remembered what Messi's father, Jorge, had said.

…………

More than two years ago, when Zhu Xu was brought home by Messi for the first time, Messi's father Jorge expressed a very warm welcome to him.

"Leo and I mentioned you many times, Zhu Xu."

Jorge's pronunciation was very standard, and he put his arm around Zhu Xu's shoulder: "I've always been curious about what kind of person my Leo can value so much."

"father!"

Messi, who was by Zhu Xu's side, obviously didn't want his father to continue, so Jorge just smiled and didn't continue talking.

But Zhu Xu still knew what Messi's father had said.

"To be honest, I was surprised at first."

When the two of you are alone, Jorge said.

"Leo is my son, and I know him—so you can imagine my surprise when I found out that Leo took the initiative to make a friend, and was very concerned about this friend, and especially took the initiative to contact him."

"If you were a girl, I'm afraid Leo would be in love."

Jorge's tone was very relaxed: "But it's not bad, I'm glad Leo found a friend who can keep up with him."

"I……"

Zhu Xu didn't have a chance to speak at all.

"It only takes one game to see why Leo values ​​you so much."

"Even though you are still young, you are like my son, that amazing talent cannot be blocked no matter what."

"Do you know how many times Leo and I mentioned you before today? Last night, he was so excited and nervous about your coming home today that he stayed up most of the night."

Jorge smiled bewilderedly: "You are very important to him."

…………

"You mean a lot to me too."

Zhu Xu heard himself say that so naturally and so clearly.

"But family is still different."

Zhu Xu felt that something was wrong, so he decided to add this sentence after thinking about it.

Messi smiled and said nothing.

He and Zhu Xu were lying on the bed side by side, head to head, reading travel brochures. Now he lowered his head and flipped through the brochures quietly. Zhu Xu saw the picture as warm.

... Nima, what am I thinking!

Zhu Xu shook his head frantically, expelling the weird thought just now from the bottom of his heart.

Of course Messi didn't see Zhu Xu's actions.

He pointed to the introduction on a certain page: "Well...how about we go to the safari park?"

"The safari park here has hundreds of lions in their natural state, which should be quite interesting."

Zhu Xu lay beside him: "It's so far..."

Messi looked at Zhu Xu speechlessly: "Then where do you want to go?"

Zhu Xu looked at the time: "Aren't you going to gather at 7 o'clock?"

"It's almost two o'clock now, why don't you go out and play games directly?"

Messi: ...

"Who just shouted that it's rare to come here once, to go out to see the local scenery and feel the local customs!"

Zhu Xu Chunliang looked at Messi: "Playing games locally is also an experience?"

Nima.

If I didn't think you would want to go out and play, I wouldn't try to find a good place, it's not something I'm interested in, okay?

Messi cursed secretly: You are sure, I can't refuse you!

"Since it's Ms. Blanca's request, how can I refuse?"

Messi took a second to adjust his mood.

"I have given you the new letter written by Blanca. I look forward to Ms. Lily's reply as soon as possible~"

Zhu Xu said to him from the left: "You have to be considerate of my feelings, after all, I really want to be alone with Ms. Lily, instead of going outside with Lily and being surrounded by people."

Messi: ...

Nima, I lost!

Although, although he knows that this guy is just talking nonsense, he can't believe this kind of sweet talk, but he can't stand Messi, that's what he does!

Or rather, because this is what Zhu Xu said, so Messi has no way to parry.

He obediently played games with Zhu Xu all afternoon.

No one knew how much love and affection he looked at Zhu Xu.

………………

On June 6, the day before the game with the Greek team, Maradona announced that he would rotate the main players to rest.Considering that the team will have a half-day holiday on the 20th, and Messi needs to meet his parents and brothers, the Argentine football king arranged a small birthday party in advance that night, and the place was in his big suite.

Of course Messi was very happy, especially when he found out that Carlos Tevez and Higuain bought gifts for himself.

"what is this?"

With anticipation, Messi was about to take the box and open it, but Higuain hugged the box tightly: "Guess first, what is the gift?"

Tevez stood for Higuain on the side: "Yes, you have to guess first. If you guess correctly, we will give you the gift."

Aguero took a step aside silently, and spread his hands at Messi, with a look of "I can't help you this time".

Messi looked up and glanced around, and found that his head coach Maradona was watching the communication of the boys in the team with a smile on his face, while the rest of the teammates were watching the show with great interest.

Well, it seems that everyone knows what is going on, and they are ready to watch my "performance".

Messi is a little helpless, but he feels very useful-this kind of unity means that they can go further, doesn't it?

He stared at the box in Higuain's hand, and suddenly found liquid flowing out of the box.

liquid……?

"I see, it's champagne, or some other wine, it's all spilled out."

The smile on Higuain's face widened, and Tevez covered his mouth exaggeratedly.

"Well... you can try it, what kind of wine is it?"

Higuain was trembling all over.

Messi gave him a strange look: How can I say that even if I guessed wrong, I wouldn't laugh like this, would I?

He stepped forward a little hesitantly, dipped his finger in a bit, and tasted it in his mouth: "It's a bit sour, is it white wine?"

Romero and Demichelis laughed loudly, Palermo laughed and leaned forward, Aguero covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly.

Messi began to feel that something was wrong.

"No, you guess again?"

Said Higuain, who could no longer restrain his laughter.

Messi... Messi thought for a while, and out of prudence, he didn't dip in the unknown liquid to taste it again: "Isn't it South Africa's World Cup limited edition wine?"

Higuain had already bent over with laughter, hugging the box tightly.

Argentina's leader Maradona's curiosity was aroused. In fact, although he also prepared a surprise for Messi, he really didn't know what the boys in the team prepared tonight.

Tevez finally couldn't hold it anymore, he laughed and patted Higuain's shoulder: "Stop teasing him, the puppy can't hold back his pee anymore!"

Messi: ...? ! ! ! ! !

He was so scared that he almost lost his balance.

Higuain was finally willing to let go of the box he had been hugging tightly: "Open it, Leo."

Messi laughed again when the box was opened—it contained a native South African boobo puppy.

"Does he have a name?"

Messi held it in his arms and asked after teasing it a few times.

"Pipita and I named him 'Buzz Serra.'"

"It's a funny name, I like it."

He hugged the puppy and prepared to go back to the room first. The rest of the Argentine players expressed their understanding to Messi, who loves dogs and mentioned to Aguero several times that he misses his dog Facha in Barcelona, ​​and let them go happily.

"LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!"

Zhu Xu, who had a video call with Messi, laughed unceremoniously after listening to Messi's previous experience: "Bianqi, I have a lot of brain supplement recipes here, I think it is necessary to send you a copy, you say Woolen cloth?"

Brain Recipe...?

Messi was stunned for a moment.

I always feel that I seem to have sent this recipe to piggies?

Then he himself denied his own thoughts: How could it be possible that the recipes they exchanged were all nutritious meals, and they shared their hard-fought meals with each other—nutritious meals are really not for people to eat!

"You send it."

Messi touched Buzzing Sera's paw angrily: "But don't expect me to eat it, unless you did it."

Zhu Xu propped his head on the screen, and was really thinking about it seriously: "It's not impossible... But are you sure? I think the brain-boosting recipes and heightening recipes and nutritious meals will be done in turn?"

"Can't you be nice to me!"

Macy broke down: "It's not like you can't make other things, braised beef brisket with shredded pork in Beijing sauce and cumin slices...any one is delicious!"

Zhu Xu smiled: "I can make it, but can you eat it?"

He looked down.

Of course Messi knew that if Zhu Xu was by his side at the moment, he must be looking at his... belly.

He tilted his head and coughed: "I'm going to hand over Hum Serra to the staff, it's too late and there's a game tomorrow, so go to sleep first!"

Zhu Xu's wild laughter was locked in the phone by Messi.

Messi sat on the bed, staring at the dark screen for a long time.

Then he suddenly smiled.

He picked up the phone, stroked the incredibly beautiful sticker on the back, leaned closer to the screen, and kissed it lightly and lightly.

"Actually, if it's a dish from his subordinates, I can eat it even if I look up at the starry sky."

Macy shakes the paw of buzzing Sierra.

"He's nice, isn't he?"

The Boo Boo puppy whimpered.

"Your reaction is meaningless..."

Messi murmured: "If Facha was here, he would be excited to circle around me several times."

He thought of his pet dog Facha, the birthday present that Zhu Xu gave him in 2009.

"Forget it. How do you know?"

Messi picked up his gift: "I'm so stupid."

[Extras to this chapter]

Aguero: What?You said you played games all afternoon again? ! !Then you called me before and asked me what was interesting, am I happy for nothing? ? ? !

Aguero: Leo, you can't do this, although we all know this is your character, you just don't like excitement, parties, and you are always bored outside of football... But, but!Do you want to communicate more with the outside world?

Messi: ...I know.

Aguero: Leo, my brother, don't be perfunctory, I'm serious-don't say anything else, if you always stay at home, your Blanca will find it boring!

Messi's heart: Uh, actually, I don't think so, because we are so happy playing games together...

Aguero's heart: Ah, Leo stopped talking again... he must be very anxious and embarrassed to say it.Oh poor Leo, what would you do without me?Don't worry, I will help you!

Messi: ...why do you feel that Ah Kun is so energetic all of a sudden?I didn't say anything?

The author has something to say:

Tevez and Higuain's gift-giving is not made up, it is true news (it is said that it was disclosed in Maradona's diary).

Messi missed his dog, which was also news at the time...
