Yan Yan sat at his work station and yawned loudly.

A colleague next to me saw it and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yan, did you stay up late to watch football again?"

"Yes, yes..." Yan Yan replied listlessly.

"Then why don't you ask for leave?"

"If you take any more leave, your bonus will be forfeited..."

"Haha!" my colleague laughed, "but it's still very exciting. I woke up in the morning and saw the news that Hu Lai won the championship and completed a hat trick! I was very excited just watching the game highlights afterwards, and I am definitely more excited when watching the live broadcast!

"

Yan Yan chuckled: "That's right, didn't you hear that my voice was hoarse? I screamed!"

"I really envy you young people. You are in good health and you can still come to work directly after staying up late to watch the game. If it were me, I would have to take half a day off..." A middle-aged colleague expressed this emotion and then reminded Yan Yan:

"But you have to be careful. Next time you yawn, remember to cover it up and don't let the new boss see it. It is said that he is a very strict person. Yawning during working hours will be considered by him to affect the work..."

Just as he was talking, a person walked in from the door of the office. He was the new boss of the project that his colleagues said had only been here for a week.

The colleague quickly retracted his body, returned to his seat, and pretended to be working hard.

Yan Yan also looked down at his computer screen, and at the same time couldn't help but peek at his new immediate boss.

Just as the boss walked past him, he saw the boss raised his head and let out a big... yawn.

After yawning, the boss noticed someone looking at him, and turned to look at Yan Yan: "What's wrong?"

"Ah...it's nothing, no...ha-" He didn't say anything, and Yan Yan himself yawned.

He looked at the boss awkwardly.

The boss also looked at him.

The colleague next to him shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.

The air in this small area suddenly became a little awkward.

"The game in the early morning was exciting, wasn't it?" the boss suddenly asked.

Yan Yan responded reflexively: "Fortunately...ah, no."

The boss saw his denial and smiled slightly: "Okay. If you feel sleepy, drink more coffee."

After saying that, he walked straight to his office.

As soon as the leader left, colleagues came up and asked with concern: "Have you been seen through?"

Yan Yan waved his hand: "Passed."

Then he looked up at the boss's office, wondering whether he should invite the boss to watch the game next time...

He even thought about how to say it specifically:

"Boss, have you heard of the 'Chosen One'?"

When Hu Lai and Morikawa Junpei went to have breakfast in the hotel restaurant, they met their teammates.

Many of them yawned profusely, obviously not sleeping well.

Charlie Potter was one of them. He raised his hand to greet Hu Lai, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he yawned without saying anything.

While typing back, he said: "Morning - okay, Hu..."

"Did you not sleep yesterday, Charlie?" Hu Lai asked curiously.

"I think I went to bed at four or five o'clock..."

Seeing Charlie Potter in such a depressed state, Hu Lai immediately believed his words.

"Why did you sleep so late?" he asked with a frown.

"Can you sleep smoothly? Hu? This is the Europa League champion, the European champion!" Charlie Potter asked in surprise.

"I've got everything, why can't I sleep?"

Charlie Potter turned his attention to Morikawa Junpei next to him. He knew that Morikawa was a very honest person, not at all like Hu Lai, who was full of bad intentions, so he asked the Japanese for confirmation.

Morikawa Junpei nodded: "Not long after we returned to the room after celebrating, Hu Lai fell asleep."

Charlie Potter raised his hands and surrendered: "You are awesome. Don't you ever get nervous?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai nodded: "Of course."

"Huh? When?"

"Before my first World Cup, I also briefly suffered from insomnia." Hu Lai recalled the answer seriously and told Charlie Porter.

"World Cup?" Charlie Potter, who had never participated in the World Cup, felt that he had given Hu Lai another chance to show off.

Hu Lai smiled slightly, patted Charlie Potter on the shoulder, and turned around with Morikawa Junpei to get the meal.

The alarm clock on the mobile phone suddenly rang in the room. A hand reached out from the bed to grab it. After turning off the alarm clock, he jumped up from the bed like a carp.

He jumped out of bed and rushed to the door, opened the door, and shouted loudly: "Get up, get up... eh?"

The yeller looked at his fully dressed roommate in surprise and was stunned.

"Hey, Lao Wang, you got up late!"

Two roommates, Song Xinghe and Pei Yu, clapped their hands and laughed.

"Damn, why are you so active today?" Wang Haoxi said angrily. "Wait for me!"

After saying that, he returned to his bedroom and closed the door.

A minute later, the door was opened again, and he reappeared in front of his roommate with his clothes on.

"Let's go!" his roommate said when he saw that he had packed up.

"Don't panic." Wang Haoxi made a gesture, then got on the sofa, stepped on the armrest, and pulled down the five-star red flag hanging on the wall.

"You must bring this with you, otherwise how can Hu Lai see us at a glance in the crowd?"

As soon as the final ended yesterday, about two-thirds of Leeds City fans flew home directly, and another third also flew back to Leeds early this morning, just so as not to miss the championship parade.

Those Leeds City fans who came in huge buses did not drive again when they went back.

After all, the nine-hour journey is really torturous.

After winning the championship, everyone was eager to return home and no longer wanted to waste time on the road.

They handed over the bus to a specialized transport company, who sent a driver to drive the bus back to Leeds.

The fans flew back to Leeds in the evening.

"Come on, come on! Hurry up!"

David Miller stood at the door of his courtyard, shouting hello to the inside of the house, urging his family members.

"Come on, come on..." The wife came out of the house with her three children, "Isn't it too early?"

"Why is it early? If you go late, you can only watch from the back row."

"They are all on the bus anyway. It doesn't make any difference whether we are in the first row or the third row..." The eldest son put his hands in his pockets and followed his mother out of the house.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up!" David Miller was too lazy to say so much.

The neighbors around him came out of their homes one after another, wearing Leeds City jerseys and holding Leeds City scarves or flags in their hands, and then walked in the same direction.

They and David Miller's family had the same purpose, they were all going to participate in Leeds City's championship parade.

In Leeds City today, all fans will gather beside several main roads, waiting for the open-top double-decker bus that welcomes Leeds City players to pass through their neighborhood.

Being able to catch a glimpse of the Leeds City players holding the trophy and waving to them on the bus will leave a very beautiful memory for these fans throughout the summer...or in this life.

"The plane door is open!"

Along with the excited voices of reporters from the front, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Amid cheers, Leeds City captain Lorenzo Esposito and head coach Tony Clark appeared at the door.

"Lorenzo appears in front of us holding the Europa League! They are the sixth English team to win the Europa League. Welcome to join the ranks of European champions!"

Lorenzo and Clark presented the trophy to the media reporters and fans present.

Then they walked down the stairs, and behind them, the Leeds City players filed out.

Every time a player appears, there will be a burst of cheers.

At this moment, these players are as happy as a group of children who have not grown up. Some people will twist their buttocks when getting off the ramp of the plane, and some people will jump down in three steps and two steps at a time.

"...The players will board a specially prepared open-top double-decker bus at the airport, and then start from the airport to Leeds city, and finally they will arrive at the Flanders Stadium, the end of the tour..."
