Chapter 8 The one with the biggest card

Zhou Yi’s first meal at the training base was lunch on the day of registration, and he ate in a restaurant not far from the dormitory building.

Here, Zhou Yi not only met Sun Pan, Yang Muge, and the irritable man Guo Nu, but also met other teammates again.

As soon as Sun Pan saw Zhou Yi, he warmly greeted him to sit over.

So Zhou Yi walked over with a stainless steel plate and sat with Sun Pan and Yang Muge.

"Hey, Zhou Yi, have you heard of it?" As soon as Zhou Yi's butt sat down, Sun Pan came up and said mysteriously, as if there was something new.

"What did you hear? Have you heard of it again?" Zhou Yi was also very excited and immediately responded enthusiastically.

This made Sun Pan very happy - if he was very interested in saying a gossip but no one listened to it, it would be so boring. If he played the piano well, he would have to have a mentor. Who would be happy to play the piano with a cow?

Sun Pan likes people who cooperate like Zhou Yi, so he lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you ask me in the morning who else hasn't come except you?"

"Yes. Could that person be here?"

Sun Pan snorted lightly: "Of course, a big-name star, of course he must be the last one to appear. How could he be the finale? And the head coach personally went to the gate to greet him and took him to report. Look at this treatment...tsk tsk!"

"The head coach took him to report in person... Why can he enjoy such treatment?"

"He is the only national player in our team." Sun Pan spread his hands and shrugged.

"Didn't our team be said to be the strongest in China in the same age group? Isn't it normal to have a national player?" Zhou Yi thought Sun Pan was very strange, the only national player?

As soon as Zhou Yi asked this, Sun Pan stopped talking. He was always talking and was silent. Yang Muge next to him answered Zhou Yi's questions for him.

"That's just media publicity. It's a gimmick. In fact, we are not the strongest in the same age group in China. Could it be that the strongest one should be U17 (national team under 17 years old)? In that case, just let the national youth team go directly. Why do we need to form a team temporarily?" Yang Muge didn't talk much, but his taciturn words were different from He Ying. Even if he didn't speak, he would always have a smile on his face, while He Ying would have a cold face and say nothing. One was a warm man and the other was a cold man.

In order to explain this issue clearly to Zhou Yi, Yang Muge rarely said so much in one breath.

"So actually..." Zhou Yi had guessed it.

Yang Muge nodded: "Many of us may not be able to play the main players in the youth teams of their respective clubs. Otherwise, which club's youth team would be willing to send the main players to participate in a playful reality TV show?"

"It turns out that no one pays attention to it..." Zhou Yi was excited when he saw the news on TV. It turned out that because he had never seen the world, how could anyone who had seen the world take the publicity seriously? He was a little disappointed. He felt that this show was just to take some games in European cities and shoot some scenery. He even began to doubt whether he could still see the youth training geniuses of European wealthy families.

"Actually, who would believe that a group of people who pieced together temporarily can be qualified to challenge a wealthy youth training camp like Barcelona and Real Madrid?" Sun Pan snorted beside him. "Europeans must think that we are talking nonsense after hearing this."

Yang Muge didn't continue to say anything, and said everything he should say. It would inevitably make people feel discouraged if he continued to say it. He didn't want to hurt the morale of his new teammate.

But Zhou Yi continued to think along this topic: "So, in order to make our team look less weak and look better in terms of appearance, the program team found someone from the National Youth Team?"

"Yes, and it's not a substitute for the National Youth Team, it's the main force, the main striker!" Zhou Yi said this, and he felt that it was ironic.

"Forward..." Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this word. He was also a forward. His competitors were so strong that he might have to play as a substitute. If he couldn't play in Europe, it would be a pity.

"Yes, it feels like our head coach's own son..." Sun Pan lowered his voice when he said this. Obviously, he also knew that it was not good to complain to the coach behind his back.

"Since such a powerful person, why should I participate in our reality show? Didn't Yang Muge say that those clubs were unwilling to play with us?" Zhou Yi had another doubt.

"I heard that our head coach used some personal relationship to win it, so it's so cute..."

As they were talking, a commotion suddenly came from the door of the restaurant. Many people who were eating put down their chopsticks and spoons in their hands, and raised their heads and looked up.

Then Sun Pan, Zhou Yi, and Yang Muge saw a person walking in from the restaurant door.

"Hey, the protagonist is on the stage. Even the last one to finish the meal, slap!" Sun Pan snorted from his nose.

But Zhou Yi was stunned.

Why?

Because the visitor is not someone else, it is... He Ying, his roommate!

※※※

When He Ying walked into the restaurant, he could clearly feel that the noisy restaurant had quieted down, and countless eyes were staring at him.

However, He Ying is not surprised and familiar with this.

As the main striker of the Chinese national youth team under 17 years old, he is already used to facing such treatment.

He also ignored the gazes that were cast towards him, no matter whether those gazes were curious, pleasing, or disdainful.

He looked straight to the food window without squinting, picked up the stainless steel plate and started ordering.

He didn't order much, and he deliberately avoided the particularly greasy dishes. He didn't want any of the pork that was popular among others.

After ordering the dishes, he took the plate and walked directly to an empty table and started eating.

The restaurant is not small, after all, it is a comprehensive training base, not only football fields, but also tennis courts, bicycle training grounds, golf courses... and other a series of venues. There are also many people participating in the training. The restaurant must ensure that so many people eat at the same time. Now, the only players from these football teams are trained here at the training base. Most of the places in the huge restaurant are empty, with many empty tables, so he doesn't have to deliberately look for them.

Zhou Yi quickly observed the situation in the restaurant. Someone wanted to sit over and chat, but obviously did not have enough courage. Zhou Yi deeply understood this. He was in the dormitory room, trying to find some topics to chat with He Ying and liven up the atmosphere. However, when he thought of He Ying's look like a dead fish, he couldn't speak.

Some people look at He Ying with disdain and resentment. They don’t like this guy who has made a name for themselves. Sun Pan is a typical example.

Zhou Yi withdrew his gaze.

Sun Pan was still muttering: "I don't know who was unlucky and was separated into the same room with him... Of course, people are big names, and they may also live in a single room..."

As he was talking, he saw Zhou Yi pointing at himself.

Sun Pan wondered: "What are you doing?"

"I." Zhou Yi said.

"What are you?" Sun Pan was confused.

"I am the one who is unlucky," Zhou Yi said, pointing to himself.

※※※

"You and He Ying live in the same room?" Sun Pan couldn't wait to ask after coming out of the restaurant and not far away just now.

Zhou Yi nodded: "Yes."

"Are you happy?" Sun Pan asked.

"It's so good. I don't have to turn on the air conditioner at night." Zhou Yi replied.

Hearing his description, Sun Pan laughed loudly, and his hearty laughter instantly floated out more than ten meters, attracting pedestrians on the way to look at each other. He quickly covered his mouth.

Even Yang Muge next to him smiled at Zhou Yi's words.

"I just heard that He Ying was very cold, very cold to people, very proud. From what you described, it seems that the rumors are correct." Sun Pan lowered his voice.

"I can fully understand your situation. If I want to be roommates with him, I will have to commit suicide!" Sun Pan said a little exaggeratedly.

Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly: "I understand."

Of course he understands.

If it were Sun Pan's chattering with He Ying, even if Sun Pan had no prejudice against He Ying before, the nearly solidified indoor air would probably be able to suffocate him to death.

"Okay, I can't help you with this. Brother, please beg for your own blessing." Sun Pan patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder with a solemn tone, as if Zhou Yi was going to the execution ground when he returned to the dormitory.

Yang Muge smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerating. Zhou Yi, just don't mess with him. I don't think he looks like a person who takes the initiative to find trouble."

Sun Pan originally wanted to agree to his roommate, but he was only halfway through his head, and suddenly remembered something, and his face changed: "This may not be true, Yang Muge. I don't think Zhou Yi is like a person who doesn't cause trouble..."

After hearing what he said, Yang Muge's face changed a little. Then he and Sun Pan looked at each other and both saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes - obviously they thought about going together.

Zhou Yi didn't expect that his two friends would change their views on him so quickly. He expressed dissatisfaction with this and pointed to his face and asked, "Hey, look at me, look at my harmless appearance. You touched your conscience and said, do I look like the kind of person who is very troublesome?"
