There is a belief called football

Chapter 435 Old Friends

After the first round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund topped the standings with a big win and 4 goal difference.

Li Qiao and Royce tied for the top scorer list with 2 goals each. It can be said that Dortmund's strong start to the new season has blinded the eyes of many football professionals. Originally, everyone expected that Dortmund in the new season must be reduced, because the loss of the team's main force is very serious, and the introduction is all cheap "waste" types.

This kind of situation has happened to Dortmund many times in recent years, so everyone is not surprised, so in the first game, Dortmund's strong victory over Borussia in the traditional Prussian derby really shocked many people.

In particular, the tacit cooperation between Li Qiao and Royce in the game makes people seem to see the shining years of the German twin stars (Götze and Royce), and some people even call them "Prussian twin stars".

Li Qiao didn't care too much about these things. The football circle is very realistic. Looking back on the days when I was called a parallel importer at this time last year, compared with now, it is simply a world of difference.So now whether it is in the face of praise or belittling, Li Qiao will be calm, as long as he trains well every day.

But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, Li Qiao's life is still broken by a text message.

"Joe, it's been a year. I want to tell you something in person. If you want, can you come to the bar we went to for the first time? I'll wait for you until 12 o'clock",
The last signature of the information is Helen!
To be honest, Li Qiao was a little excited when he received the news. Helen is a beautiful woman, the kind of woman that even men would fall in love with. But then Li Qiao fell into deep contradictions, because Li Qiao knew that if she went there, she might cause new troubles. Now her daily life has been followed by football paparazzi, and this kind of scandal must be something they all dream of.

So why don't you go?Li Qiao would feel uneasy again. After all, Helen lost a good job because of him. Li Qiao always felt that he owed Helen a lot.

"Headache, dilemma",
And this problem cannot be discussed with anyone, even my father or Stan can't tell me, I can only solve it by myself.

*****
Li Qiao sat on the sofa in the living room drinking beer, watching TV absently, and glanced at the big clock in the living room from time to time. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and there were still 2 hours before the deadline Helen gave him.

"It's so late and you're ready to go out"?Li Shan asked.

"No," Li Qiao replied hesitantly.

Li Shan glanced at Li Qiao's fully armed appearance. Do I still need to wear a coat while watching TV at home?Not even lying.

Li Shan went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of beer, and then sat next to Li Qiao, "What happened to my son, tell Dad."

Li Qiao saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply told his father. After hearing this, Li Shan thought about it, and knew that this matter was difficult to handle.

"Joe, now that you are old, I shouldn't be in charge of your private affairs, but what I mean is that one more thing is worse than one less thing."

Li Qiao nodded, "But Dad, I think I owe her a lot."

Li Shan knew his son's temper, "Then you can figure it out." After speaking, Li Shan put the Porsche key on the coffee table in front of him.

Now Li Qiao has got his driver's license and can drive on the road, although he usually goes to the club with Weidenfeller habitually.

After Li Shan went upstairs, Li Qiao looked at the car keys in front of him and finally thought about it. Li Qiao grabbed the car keys and went out.

*****
It was already 10:[-] when we arrived at the bar, and the first thing Li Qiao said when he saw Helen was "Sorry, I'm late, I went around several times to get rid of the paparazzi",
Helen chuckled, and pushed the beer in front of her. It turned out that she had already ordered beer for Li Qiao, "It's okay."

After sitting down, Li Qiao took a closer look at Helen by the dim light of the bar. The Helen in front of him had a little more vicissitudes, but her temperament was even more outstanding.

"How's your year?"
Helen nodded, "I've wanted to leave Germany for a long time, and finally realized my childhood dream",
"So where do you work now"?
Because Li Qiao has been following Helen's FB, but it seems that she hasn't updated for a long time.

"Working as a physiotherapist for a club in the French second division",
"France, what a place",
"Yes, the climate is better than ours in Germany, and there is good wine",
Li Qiao chuckled, he didn't know whether Helen's happiness was faking or real, but Li Qiao was still happy for Helen.

"There are a lot of handsome French guys, well, do you have a boyfriend now?"
Helen shook her head.

"Why"?
"Because I suddenly discovered something after I left",
Li Qiao blushed, not because of the effect of alcohol, but because of something he felt.

"I found that I fell in love with you," said Helen.

At this time, Li Qiao's heart was full of mixed feelings, a little bit of surprise, but also guilt, and more of helplessness, because he already had a favorite.

Life is like this, when you don’t have it, God will take away your underpants, but when you have it, God will be very generous to you.

"But I have a girlfriend",
"I know, I watched the news, the picture of you and her kissing passionately during the championship celebration was spread all over the world, I know",
When saying the last few words, Helen lowered her voice, looking very helpless.

"Honestly, she is prettier than me",
"No, not because of this",
"Why is that?"
"We have known each other for a long time",
Helen stared at Li Qiao with wide eyes, as if asking: "Is this a reason?"
Li Qiao simply told Helen everything, starting from 11 years ago, and an hour has passed before he knew it.

This story moved Helen, "very touching"!
Li Qiao nodded, "So it is impossible for me to accept others."

Helen can understand, after all, he likes Li Qiao because of his innocence and persistence, if Li Qiao abandons his own advantages, then she won't like Li Qiao so much.

"Okay, I told you all the stories, so can you tell me about your experience this year",
Helen told Li Qiao all the things she had encountered in the past year and the countries she had visited, "Is no one chasing you?"
"a lot of",
"Don't you like any of them?"
"No",
"By the way, you can go to China, where there are many handsome guys like me",
Helen patted the table, "I'm not joking with you",
"Sorry, I was wrong",
Helen looked at Li Qiao's flushed face and thought it was very cute, "Can I touch your face?"
Li Qiao was embarrassed for a moment, logically speaking it was nothing, but she always felt weird, before Li Qiao agreed, Helen crossed the table and started to touch Li Qiao's face.

Li Qiao originally thought it was nothing like this. When he was a child, his relatives would touch him when they saw that he was cute, but then Li Qiao found out that it was broken and it was different.

Because this action will meet the eyes, and what will happen after that?You don't need to think about it. Sure enough, Helen looked at Li Qiao affectionately, getting closer and closer, and finally closed her eyes and kissed Li Qiao.

Li Qiao turned his head to hide, "You are drunk, let me take you home, okay?"
Helen was also embarrassed, and she nodded after a few seconds.

*****
It was already 1 o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the hotel where Helen was staying, and Li Qiao said, "Let me help you go upstairs",
"No need, last time we were photographed together and caused you a lot of trouble",
"It's not for me, it's for you, after all you lost your job",
"If you don't do the job, you won't do it, and I don't care."
"Really"?
"Really, have I always been a very weak person? I have a lot of ideas, but I have never dared to abandon my comfortable life and take real action. If it weren't for you, I might never leave Germany for the rest of my life, and I will always be a physiotherapist in Dortmund",
Li Qiao thought: "Did I still do something good?"
"I thought you were blaming me all the time," Li Qiao said.

"How can it be",
"Because you don't update FB anymore, and don't send me messages",
"Oh, that's because I'm busy",
Li Qiao didn't want to argue either, so he could only nod his head.

"Then how long are you going to stay in Germany?"
"Today is the last day",
"what"! !

"I've been back for a week, and I didn't work up the courage to send you a message until the last day, because I felt that I had to tell you how I felt in my heart",
Li Qiao was very moved, although he couldn't do anything.

"Where do you go after that?"
"I don't know, maybe the United States, maybe Japan, or China, in short, I haven't played enough."

Li Qiao chuckled: "How depressed you have been in the past 20 years, as if you were released from a prison."

Helen also laughed.

"I don't want to go back to the hotel, so let's just chat in the car until dawn, shall we?"
Li Qiao was a little embarrassed, but still answered: "Okay".

"Hehe, just kidding, it's getting late, I should go back," Helen said.

Li Qiao still answered yes.

"Joe, I have one last request",
"what"?
"Can you kissGoodbye",
"What? Kiss goodbye"?
Seeing Li Qiao's shy face, Helen laughed at herself, "It's fun to tease you", then she opened the car door and walked quickly to the hotel.

Seeing Helen's leaving figure, Li Qiao suddenly felt lost, "I owe her so much, but she just wants a goodbye kiss, can't I satisfy her?"
Thinking of this, Li Qiao opened the car door to catch up with Helen, and then hugged Helen deeply. Helen was surprised at first, but then hugged Li Qiao tightly.

"I'm sorry I can't give you a kiss goodbye, but as a friend, how about a hug as compensation"?
Helen nodded again and again, "Thank you, Joe, I will try my best to forget you, I promise."

"it is good",
In the deserted streets in the early morning, it is estimated that even the most dedicated paparazzi have fallen asleep at this time, and two good friends are hugging like this.
