Chapter 84 Farewell to my lover for a while(1/2)
Resentment is resentment, life must go on.
As for the system, Li Wei has nothing to do with it. Although the rewards are useless, he at least confirms that this broken system is still "alive" and can come out from time to time to give him a reward that may be very cheating or very useful.
It's barely good news, isn't it?
The special training prepared for him by the youth team coaching staff has not yet begun, but Levi has already started training on his own in Sopuak. Once his life is filled with training, he will have no intention of thinking about these miscellaneous things.
During this period, Andy Gray came to see him and brought him some new news.
"Li, I brought you good news and bad news. Which one are you going to hear first?"
"Good news." After losing the championship, I still need to hear some good news to cheer me up.
"I have reached an agreement with the club. Your weekly salary will reach 350 pounds. The new contract is waiting for you to sign." Andy looked a little proud. "If it weren't for the team's financial problems, it would probably be higher."

"That's great! Andy, you are such a competent agent!" Levi gave Andy a hug excitedly. He had no other way to make money and could only count on his salary.
"Hey, Li, if you push harder I won't be able to breathe!"
"Ah, I'm sorry," Levi let go of his hand, "By the way, Andy, what about the bad news?"
"I sent your videotape to all the Serie A clubs, but almost none of them responded. A few responded and rejected it outright." Andy was a little embarrassed, obviously feeling that he was not doing the right job as an agent.<
/p>
"It doesn't matter, Andy," Levi didn't care, "Didn't we agree? It's okay to stay for another year, not to mention, I want to take back this FA Youth Cup with my own hands!"
"Well, if you can become the main player of the team and win the championship next season, I believe those Italian clubs will no longer be able to ignore you," Andy nodded, "However, there is good news, there is a
A German second division club has contacted me. Are you interested?"
"Deutsche Second Division?" Li Wei tilted his head, remembering Xie Hui who had played for three Bundesliga Second Division teams. In fact, with his current level, it is not bad to be able to play for Bundesliga Second Division.
But Levi still doesn't want to give in. The five top leagues are too attractive to him. What's more, he came out of the youth team of Leeds United. Think of Woodgate and Kewell who came out from here.
Which one doesn’t play for a top club?
He, Levi, doesn’t expect to be in a wealthy club, but he should at least be a top league team, right?
"Forget it, wait until next season. I believe there will be no one interested in it next year."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Gu Xiaohan has been a little upset recently.
Logically speaking, she should be happy to be able to return to China soon, but she suddenly felt the urge not to return.
If she were a poet, she might express some sentiments about being close to home, but she is not.
She knew very well that this impulse was not due to feelings such as homesickness, but it made her even more frightened.
Because she had to connect this feeling of wanting to stay with the guy who recently appeared in her life.
If she hadn't already booked a cheap flight back home before meeting him, maybe she would really stay.
No, that's not the case.
This must be due to the sense of responsibility as a teacher.
Well, it must be.
This is how she convinced herself.
In fact, the day she gave Li Wei her last lesson was the day Gu Xiaohan returned to China, and she booked a flight ticket at noon that day.
Originally, she could have told Li Wei that she would not go to class because she had to return to China.
But I picked up the phone and turned it over and over in my hand, but in the end I still didn’t make the call.
So on that day, she got up early in the morning and went out with the luggage she had packed last night.
"Xiaohan, aren't you on a plane at noon? Why are you leaving so early?" The roommate who was woken up by her was a little strange and asked aloud.
"Well, there are still some things to deal with," Gu Xiaohan felt a little guilty as if something embarrassing had been revealed, "I had to leave earlier."
"What is so important? Do you have to do it before leaving?"
"Well, it's just... quite important."
※※※※※※
This Sunday, Levi also got up early.
Although Gu Xiaohan didn't tell him that he was leaving today, Li Wei also knew that this was the last class of the summer. He felt that he should prepare a table of good food to practice for the teacher.
Naturally, the beef brisket was stewed early. When Gu Xiaohan came, he added potatoes and tomatoes and stewed it in one pot. It was fragrant.
The two of them couldn't eat much, so apart from the big dish of tomato, potato and beef brisket, he only prepared one staple dish.
This is a bit of selfishness on his part.
Having been abroad for half a year, he really misses the dumplings from his hometown. The Chinese restaurants in Beeston also sell them, but the taste is far different.
Besides, when eating dumplings, the process of making them together as a family may be more important.
So this time he had prepared flour and a rolling pin, and there were not many choices for fillings. Shepherd's purse, fennel, and zucchini were no need to think about. He had to choose celery, which is also very common here.
However, the process of preparing dumplings by one person was more troublesome than he imagined. After all, at home, mixing the dough, rolling out the dough, and chopping the fillings were all divided into tasks, but now that he was alone, he was a bit stretched.
Therefore, when Gu Xiaohan came, his face had just reconciled and was saving it in the basin.
"Li Wei, what are you doing?" When he opened the door, Li Wei's hands were still full of flour, and Gu Xiaohan was obviously a little surprised.
"I'm preparing to make dumplings. I'm waiting for you." Levi embarrassedly wiped the tip of his nose with the back of his hand, leaving a white spot. "Why are you still carrying your luggage? Are you leaving today, Xiaohan?"
"Yes, the flight is at 12 noon. I think today's class will end early."

"How about this? Let's make dumplings in today's class, right?"
Isn’t that too ambiguous?
But looking at Levi's innocent eyes, she felt that maybe she was overthinking, and nodded with a blush on her face.
"Hmm."
Gu Xiaohan couldn't do the work of kneading dough and rolling dough, so she had to help wash vegetables first. Looking at Li Wei who was making dough, she was a little surprised:
"Li Wei, I can't tell you are good at making pasta. I thought only northerners were good at this!"
"Hey, but I'm not from the south either," Li Wei replied while kneading the dough vigorously. "Northerners see me as a southerner, and southerners see me as a northerner. That's probably it."
"Isn't that pitiful? Both sides don't want to see you."
"I'm used to it. Look, isn't it the same for me in the UK? They say racial discrimination is quite serious here, but I see that the black and white people in the team get along pretty well, so I'm just an outsider.
”
Li Wei's words unintentionally touched Gu Xiaohan's mind. In fact, why didn't she feel this way?
Alone in a foreign land, you will always be a stranger.
While he was talking, the dough in Li Wei's hand was ready. He took over Xiaohan's work and started to chop the stuffing. As for Xiaohan, he was sent to deal with the dough.
Gu Xiaohan, who had never played face-to-face like this before, found it very refreshing, but unfortunately she still couldn't find the trick. It was Li Wei who came over to give him some advice:
"It's like playing with plasticine when you were a kid. You cut off a piece, roll it into a long strip, and then cut it into small sections."
"Eh? It seems really ok."
After getting the knack, Gu Xiaohan quickly got started.
It was almost 10 o'clock when all the preparations for making dumplings were completed.
After preparing the fillings and dough, the two of them started to wrap it up.
Speaking of which, girls are really ingenious in handicrafts. Although they are not good at making noodles, they can quickly learn how to make dumplings.
She also learned the few special shapes that Li Wei knew, such as mice and hats.
"Xiaohan, have you really never made dumplings before?" This is a rare moment for Li Wei to feel frustrated in his cooking skills.
"Yes, we really don't have this custom in our family. We seem to eat rice cakes during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, then you will soon see how delicious the dumplings you make are!"
With that said, Li Wei picked up a plate of wrapped dumplings and went to the kitchen.
"By the way, Xiaohan, you want to put a coin in the next plate of dumplings?" Li Wei, who was looking at the pot, had a sudden thought. Since Xiaohan doesn't have the habit of eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year, he probably hasn't experienced this either.
Customs.
"Okay! Does this mean that the person who eats it will be blessed?"
"Yes, it depends on which of us is lucky enough."
Soon, the first plate of hot dumplings came out of the pan.
"Well, this is much better than the ones in Chinese restaurants!"
