Chapter 21 Departure(1/2)
The first week of school passed quickly, but some people thought it was too slow. They were used to the pace of life during the holidays, and now they would be uncomfortable with it when they were asked to go to school.
Whether it is fast or slow, the passage of time itself is constant and there will be no change. This week has finally passed.
But even the first week of class, Zhou Yi had not finished. He did not come to school on Friday. His desk was empty and he didn't even take home after school. Instead, he took away all the textbooks piled on the table and cleaned up very thoroughly.
During class, Zheng Lulu would occasionally be distracted and glance at Zhou Yi's empty desk.
The other students in the class did not seem to have any different feelings. Zhou Yi left and left. Everyone worked the same if there was no class. However, on the day Zhou Yi left, when the boys gathered together to chat, they would talk about Zhou Yi, envious of him for being qualified to compete with the youth teams of wealthy clubs in Europe and increase their knowledge.
In the eyes of boys who like football, Zhou Yi's experience is no different from going to heaven, which makes them envious. In addition, they are also waiting for Zhou Yi to return to school in two months to bring their star autographs.
Zheng Lulu walked past them and heard their comments, but she had a premonition in her heart that maybe the desk would remain empty in two months...

Just when Zhou Yi's classmates were still envious of him, Zhou Yi and his parents were already at the train station.
This time, my father and mother both took leave together to see her son off.
"This time Dad can't send you to Beijing anymore. Be careful when you take the train alone, don't talk to strangers, don't say anything others ask you. Be vigilant when you are alone..." Zhou Jianliang kept reminding Zhou Yi like a nagging woman.
"Don't have conflicts with your teammates in the team. Try to give in to others if you have any problems... Don't make enemies everywhere..."
The mother who had not said anything next to her couldn't help it. She snatched the talk, forced her to interrupt Zhou Jianliang's nagging, and said to Zhou Yi: "Don't listen to your father's trick. If someone messes with you, don't be polite if you take the blame!"
"What do you know? What should I do if my son is alone outside and causes trouble? Are you helping him or me?" Zhou Jianliang glared at his wife.
"That's not to let our son suffer a loss!" Li Cuiyun took the blame.
Zhou Yi hurriedly advised him: "Oh, what's the serious thing you said? Don't worry!"
The two of them stopped arguing.
Dad Zhou Jianliang pulled Zhou Yi again and started nagging, paying attention to this and that, don’t eat randomly, don’t drink water randomly, live a regular life, go to bed early and get up early, and paying attention to hygiene...
Zhou Yi suddenly felt that it would be better to let him quarrel with his mother...
Zhou Jianliang talked for a long time in one breath and finally explained everything he thought of.
At this time, the latest round of train ticket inspection information was also displayed on the large screen of the waiting hall of the train station. The trains taken by Zhouyi began to check tickets. People waiting in the waiting hall stood up and rushed to the ticket inspection gate.
This means that the distinction has arrived.
Li Cuiyun looked at Zhou Yi: "When you are outside, pay attention to your health. Physical health is more important than anything else. Don't be hurt."
As a mother, she is not nagging, she is very straightforward and doesn't talk much, but she says very heartwarming words.
What she cares most about is Zhou Yi's health. I'm afraid this is the most basic and simple wish of any mother to her child.
Zhou Yi looked at his mother, but there was a thought turbulent in his heart.
This week, he had never told his mother what he planned. He saw that he was leaving this time, and he didn't know what would happen in the future if he left.
He always felt that this matter could not be delayed anymore. If this matter could not be solved, he would probably not be able to move forward on the way forward, because there were always worries and hesitations in his heart.
So he mustered up the courage to speak: "Mom, there is something I want to... tell you."
Li Cuiyun looked at Zhou Yi and didn't say anything, as if she was waiting for him to continue speaking.
"...This time I go to Europe, if I have a chance... I plan to work hard on the road of professional football."
Seeing that his son finally said his plan directly, Zhou Jianliang was a little nervous and secretly clenched his fists.
"I hope...Mom, you can agree to me..."
"Can you just walk the professional football path be as you please?" Li Cuiyun did not directly agree or disagree, but asked Zhou Yi.
"I will do my best..." Zhou Yi replied.
Li Cuiyun shook her head: "Zhou Yi, I am your mother. I know you best. You can't hold on to many things for three days. You said you would give your all? But I have never seen you give your all."
Speaking of this, it seems that I disagree.
"No, this is different, mom. I will definitely give my all this time! This time I go to Europe, we will play against the youth teams of those wealthy clubs. If I can perform well, I can attract the attention of European teams. I think that I will have the opportunity to enter European football teams..."
"Just talk, talking is the easiest and most cost-effective thing in the world." Li Cuiyun didn't believe what her son said.
"Wife..." Zhou Jianliang felt the air between mother and son suddenly became a little nervous, so he wanted to ease the atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, Li Cuiyun turned her head and glared at him fiercely, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.
Next, Li Cuiyun turned her eyes again on her son, as if she didn't believe her son.
Zhou Yi seemed to be angry with his mother's attitude, and he shouted: "I said something different is different! This time I will prove it to you! Use my actual actions!"
After saying that, he pulled up the box, said goodbye, and left without looking back. He sneaked into the crowd entering the station and walked towards the ticket gate. He was soon no longer visible.
"Oh, what a warm farewell scene, why did it end like this in the end?" Zhou Jianliang sighed.
"What do you know?" Li Cuiyun turned her head and scolded her husband. "If I don't do this, do you think our son is really willing to give his all? Don't you know his temperament? At the beginning, you will try hard for a few days, and then you will find reasons to be lazy. If he really wants to successfully follow the path he chooses, he must be serious and do his best."
"Ah? You agree with him so..." Zhou Jianliang was a little surprised by the change in his wife's attitude.
"Try your best to try, but you may not succeed. Can that path be so simple? "
"This is..." Zhou Jianliang nodded. Although his son passed the national auditions and became the only person who entered that team with an amateur player, the level of European professional football is still far from that of China's professional football, and he, a fan, knows it very well.
So this road is really not something my son can walk just by saying he wants to.
The two stood shoulder to shoulder, leaning their heads slightly, looking at the wicket, trying to find their son in the crowd.
They turned and left until the wicket closed.
"Hey, I'm curious to ask...what if my son didn't succeed?" Zhou Jianliang suddenly asked when he was walking away side by side with his wife against the abortion of people heading to the ticket gate. "Will you blame him for wasting two months?"
"Nothing." His wife's answer was calm. "At most, she would adjust her expectations for him from Tsinghua University to Peking University to Shanghai Jiaotong University and Zhejiang University."
Zhou Jianliang almost ran into the person next to him.
"You really have confidence in our son..."
"He's my son."

Zhou Yi was still a little angry after getting on the bus, but when the train started tremblingly and slowly left the platform and drove towards Beijing, a complicated emotion wrapped him around.
Say goodbye to family and familiar cities, reluctance to leave; and longing and curiosity towards the unknown distance.
Where will this train take him eventually?
Is it the other side of success full of flowers, or...
Zhou Yi thought of his mother's skeptical eyes, and he clenched his fists.
Humph, look at it, I will definitely succeed! I will definitely succeed!
If I can't do well, I won't come back!
What a pity that I can only say this in my heart...

In Beijing, Zhou Yi met Sun Pan and Yang Muge again. After the three of them met again, they were very happy. Zhou Yi also patted Sun Pan's arm hard and praised: "Not bad! The arms and legs are still there!"
Sun Pan rolled his eyes: "What are you? It's because of you, your mother didn't put you in house arrest, and I was also surprised!"
"Just kidding! What I decided must be done!"
In addition to Sun Pan and Yang Muge, Zhou Yi also saw Guo Nu, and he went up to say hello to someone: "Hi, Lao Guo!"
Guo Nu glanced at him and ignored him.
Sun Pan couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and stood next to Zhou Yi: "Hey, I'm saying hello to you!"
Guo Nu didn't expect that Sun Pan would come up to join in the fun. He didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Yi, but now he ignored him and had to pay attention to him, so he reluctantly replied: "Hello..."
The voice was as thin as a fucking spring, but at least it still responded to Zhou Yi.
At least this is the first time he said "Hello" to Zhou Yi since he met him.
After seeing Guo Nu responding to him, Zhou Yi immediately climbed along the way, put his arms around Guo Nu's shoulders, and turned his head to Sun Pan and said, "Hey, Sun Pan, don't do this, everyone is all teammates."
Sun Pan didn't say anything and stared at Guo Nu.
Although Guo Nu was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Yi coming up to take his shoulders directly, Sun Pan stared at him, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
He had to let Zhou Yi put his hand on his shoulder with a grievance.
When Yang Muge saw this scene next to him, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind - Zhou Yi interacted with the lion in the safari, while the lion keeper was holding a gun next to him and staring at the lion. As long as the lion moves, even if he raises his claws, the gun will fire...

After the whole crew gathered in Beijing, they were about to set off for Europe.
At the airport, players wore uniform clothes, dragged their suitcases, and waited for the registration procedures.
There were also many reporters, and these people basically only had three people interviewed, one was Xu Tao, the director of the program team, the other was Hao Dong, the head coach, and the other was He Ying.
This picture is simply the best annotation for "He Ying is the top star of this team".
Sun Pan couldn't see this, so he snorted.
Zhou Yi stared at the reporters and sighed: "It's such a big scene... We have never seen a reporter during the training camp..."
To be continued...
