There is a belief called football

Chapter 197

The preparations for the warm-up match against Uruguay were all in Shanghai. Li Qiao really wanted to go and see Diana, but he knew Stan's discipline.

So Li Qiao didn't see his beloved Diana during the whole training camp, but after the national team game, Li Qiao felt relieved temporarily, the league was no burden for Li Qiao, and Guangzhou Tianbao was far ahead, so Li Qiao had an idea - to use the absence of game time in the middle of the week to ask for leave to go to Shanghai.

If Stan led the team in the past, such an idea would not have even been considered, but now he is the acting coach, and Li Qiao is the celebrity in front of the coach, so Li Qiao made an agreement with the coach that if he scored a hat-trick in the weekend league, he would be given 2 days off.

In the end, Li Qiao had a big four in the weekend league. After the game, he didn't even go back to the locker room. Instead, he went to book a ticket immediately, and then called Diana.

*****
"What, you come to Shanghai on Tuesday"?
"yes",
Li Qiao talked about the bet with the coach.

"Hehe, Joe, you have turned bad, and Stan knows he will fire you."

"Don't worry, I called Stan yesterday. He is very busy now. It is said that he has some new training plan."
"Oh, you're going to lie to the coach, so have you ever lied to me behind your back?" Diana said with a smirk.

Li Qiao replied: "First of all, I didn't lie to the coach. I was on leave legally according to the "Labor Law". Second, you don't want the villain to sue first. I have read your Weibo, and there are many handsome guys who added you below. Then you can explain it to me."

"Wow, Li Qiao whose surname is Li and whose name is Qiao, you have not only improved your game skills, but also your oral skills have improved a lot",
Li Qiao laughed and said: "There is no way, if you don't learn some lip service, you will be bullied to death by reporters."

"Well, okay, let me know in advance when you're here, and I'll treat you to dinner then," Diana said.

"And one more thing",
"what"?
"Can I stay where you are when I go?"
"I have a roommate, if you don't mind, it's ok",
"Forget it, I'll stay in a hotel."
Diana smiled and said, "As you wish."

*****
Li Qiao didn't have much time, so he chose to fly to Shanghai on Tuesday morning, just in time to sleep and arrive in the morning.

When I arrived in Shanghai before 7 o'clock, I took a taxi to the urban area. From a distance, I saw a beautiful woman with simple clothes but irresistible natural beauty. Li Qiao was full of vanity and said to the taxi driver: "That is my girlfriend."

"So you have a girlfriend," said the taxi driver.

"What does it mean?"
"Aren't you Li Qiao, the one who scored in the Hongkou Football Stadium last week?"
"Damn, you can still recognize me with a mask on," Li Qiao thought.

But this is too bad, if you don't call yourself, if the driver tells the media, what will you do?
"Brother driver, can you see if this works? I'll give you double the fare. Don't tell others what I just said."
"Haha, no need, I don't want your money, you're a good guy, you've done a good job for China, I watched that game, you were crying after scoring the goal",
Li Qiao laughed embarrassedly.

When getting out of the car, the driver gave Li Qiao a business card, "You guys do a good job, you Chinese team is quite interesting, and I will use the car to be called Ala in the future."

The driver's half-Mandarin and half-Shanghai accent made Li Qiao feel very warm. Li Qiao insisted on paying the fare, even if the driver beat him to death. In the end, Li Qiao said thank you and said goodbye to the uncle driver.

*****
"Why, the driver is an acquaintance of yours, and he babbled for a long time after getting out of the car," Diana asked.

"You know, the star, why don't you know him"?
Diana rolled her eyes and said, "I forgot that I was almost caught as a stowaway at the airport last time."

Li Qiao was embarrassed and replied: "What smuggling? It's purely a misunderstanding."

Diana chuckled and said, "Okay, stop being so talkative, let's go and have breakfast, follow`me".

After walking for a few minutes, Li Qiao followed Diana and said, "What are you going to bring me to eat?"
"Shanghai's most distinctive "Xiaoyang Shengjian Bao"",
"The most distinctive? You are not from Shanghai, how do you know the most distinctive?"Li Qiao asked.

Diana asked: "I have been in Shanghai for half a year, and you have been in Guangzhou for so long, don't you know the special food in Guangzhou?"
Li Qiao shook his head and said, "I don't know, I eat the same thing every day."

"Oh, no wonder",
"No wonder what"?
"No wonder it's stupid",
"You know what I call efficiency, I spend my time playing football," Li Qiao said.

Diana stopped, looked at Li Qiao, and said, "Poor Joe, I haven't eaten anything good."

"Then you come to Guangzhou to take care of me," Li Qiao said with a smile.

"Okay, when someone invents a teleportation vehicle in the future, then I will go to Guangzhou to see you every day",
Li Qiao pouted and said: "I will retire until that day."

Diana chuckled, touched Li Qiao's face, she thought it was cute, and then said: "Let's go, if you go late, it will be sold out."

*****
Li Qiao thought to himself, why don't we just eat a pan-fried bun?
But when he got to the door of the store, Li Qiao was stunned. There was a queue of at least 10 meters at the door of a small store.

"Eating a steamed stuffed bun still needs to line up"?Li Qiao said.

Diana was not angry, and said: "I've said it all, let you hurry up."

Li Qiao stuck out his tongue, it was a mistake.

When the queue finally arrived, Diana said to the clerk: "Two fried rice".

"Come right on," said the clerk.

"Do you come here often for breakfast"?Li Qiao asked.

"No, I come here occasionally with my classmates, and this place is also recommended by my classmates",
"Student? Male classmate, or female classmate?" Li Qiao asked.

"Is it important"?
"Actually, it depends on the situation. If the man is gay, it doesn't matter."
Diana chuckled and said, "Joe, I warn you not to make me laugh when you eat buns later, or you will choke."

Li Qiao smiled and nodded.

*****
The pan-fried buns are ready, just looking at the appearance and smelling the aroma, Li Qiao moved his index finger. A small plate is a serving of 3 buns. Each side is fried until just golden, and the other side is sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.

"Here, let me introduce you first."
But before Diana finished speaking, Li Qiao couldn't help it anymore, picked up one and put it in his mouth. Diana just wanted to stop it, but Li Qiao had already bitten it down.

Of course it will be a tragedy!
Because the soup in the freshly made pan-fried buns was very hot, Diana was going to remind Li Qiao, but Li Qiao was impatient.
With a "wow", Li Qiao's tongue was scalded. Fortunately, Li Qiao dipped in vinegar before eating to cool down the buns, otherwise his mouth would be scalded.

Diana took out a tissue and wiped it for Li Qiao, then took off Li Qiao's big sunglasses, and Li Qiao said, "Don't take it off, I'm a football star."

"Joe, are you going to laugh me to death? Don't worry, no one cares whether you are a star or not in the face of delicious food," Diana said.

When his mouth got better, Li Qiao drank some water and pressed it, and then said, "Why didn't you remind me"?
"Who knew you could talk so fast",
Li Qiao knew that he was wrong, looked left and right, and said, "Is it true that no one knows me?"
"Joe, you are so cute, eat it, don't worry".

Diana told Li Qiao that he had to bite through a little bit before eating this fried soup, and then he would not be burned after drinking the soup.

Li Qiao followed Diana's instructions, and he didn't get burned. Sure enough, after eating a portion, Li Qiao understood why there were so many people queuing up in this humble shop, and the food was indeed delicious.

"It's delicious," Li Qiao said.

"Listen to me, that's right, I won't treat you badly",
Li Qiao nodded with a smile.

*****
After eating the pan fried, Li Qiao and Diana were thinking about where to go shopping. Although Li Qiao is Chinese, Li Qiao is quite unfamiliar with Shanghai. Apart from knowing that there is an Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, he doesn't know anything else.

"Then let's go to the Temple of the City God," Diana said.

"Where is that place? Is it worshiping Buddha?"Li Qiao asked.

"Hehe, are you really Chinese?"
Li Qiao bowed his head in embarrassment and said, "My understanding of China may not be as good as yours."

"Then listen to me, let's go to Chenghuang Temple, it's very lively, you can eat and play",
"Okay, listen to you".

*****
After taking a taxi to Yu Garden, Li Qiao finally understood why Diana liked the Town God's Temple, because although the commercial atmosphere was very strong, the whole place was decorated with antique flavors, all of which were traditional Chinese buildings, but at first glance, it was obvious that they had been renovated recently, but foreigners like this kind of place more.

"How about it"?Diana asked.

"Hmm..." Li Qiao faltered.

In fact, Li Qiao's idea is different from Diana's. Li Qiao is looking for a clean place to date, two people have a drink, chat or something, just like the feeling of two people soaking in a coffee shop when they were young.

But the place Diana chose was a very lively place, such as the Town God's Temple, which is not suitable for couples.

"Why are you hesitating?"
"Hehe, I like the feeling when I was young, the feeling of the two of us drinking and drinking quietly",
The smart Diana understood immediately, but it cost tens of dollars to take a taxi, so it would be a pity not to go shopping.

"Then listen to me this time and yours next time," Diana said.

"Okay," Li Qiao nodded.

Walking around, in fact, although there are a little more people, Yu Garden still has many characteristics. There are all kinds of small things, some small traditional Chinese objects, and the most important thing is that there is also a lot of food.

After shopping for more than 2 hours, the food for breakfast had already arrived in Java, and both of us were hungry.

"Go eat," said Diana.

Li Qiao looked in the direction Diana pointed, complaining endlessly in his heart, and it was the scene of a grandiose dragon again.
