Chapter 149: A chance encounter at the airport(1/2)
These days, Metz fans only care about one thing, that is, whether Chu Zhongtian's injury has really recovered to the point where he can participate in the finals.
As for the opponent, they didn't care at all. For Metz's fans, as long as Chu Zhongtian is fine and can participate in the game, then Sevilla will not be a problem.
Yes, they believed Chu Zhongtian so arrogantly. Chu Zhongtian has never let them down for nearly three seasons. Perhaps during the halftime of the French Cup final with Paris Saint-Germain, many Metz fans had doubts, but after that second half, no one would foolishly think that there is something else in this world that Chu Zhongtian cannot solve.
To say a blasphemous word, Chu Zhongtian had already surpassed Ribery who spoke in advance to leave the team in their minds, just like the omnipotent God. These believers just make a wish, saying, "God, God, I want a championship", "God, God, I long for victory", "God, God, bless us to reverse and win", "God, God, I hope the team will succeed in relegation"... Then when they heard the "God" they prayed for would respond to their calls again and again, from the initial relegation to the later victory, the champion... the requirements are getting higher and higher, but "God" never complains, and it is not disappointing. It is such a god who will respond to all requests... So I heard that Chu Zhongtian was injured, and everyone's hearts were hung up.
If Chu Zhongtian cannot play, it will be hard to say about this final.
So they were all concerned about Chu Zhongtian's injury recovery.
The day before the game, Chu Zhongtian appeared at the pre-match press conference. He told everyone in person that there was no problem with his injury.
This made Metz fans feel relieved.
"Thank God, he was able to play in the final..."
"If possible, I'd rather be hurt..."
※※※Escher de Belmont is packing his luggage. He will have to fly to Glasgow tomorrow morning to watch the League Cup finals on site.
At this moment, he received a call from Mathilde.
After receiving this call a year later, Belmont was a little surprised. He almost forgot about this uncharacteristic woman.
The relationship between Chu Zhongtian and Emily has now been confirmed. Sometimes he would tease him when driving for Chu Zhongtian. He envied Chu Zhongtian for having a Hollywood star, which was really a very enviable blessing. In fact, he didn't know Emily Stan before, but it would be enough to know that he was a Hollywood movie star. As for what he looked like... a popular Hollywood actress would definitely not be ugly.
He also forgot that there was a woman who took his crazy taxi all the way to watch a Chu Zhongtian game.
"Mr. Belmont, I want to go to the finals together." Mathilde revealed her meaning on the phone again.
"My taxi doesn't run international long distances, haha!" Belmont joked.
"We'll take a plane. Did you book a flight ticket to Glasgow tomorrow at 11:30 noon?"
Belmont said, "Yes, that's the class."
"That's great. Let's see you at Charles de Gaulle Airport tomorrow at 10 am?"
"Okay, I'll call you when the time comes."
The two of them didn't continue chatting, so they said goodbye to each other and hung up the phone.
Belmont looked at the cell phone in his hand, threw it away, and caught it again. A year ago, the woman called her own phone and asked for a car to go to Paris to watch the competition. A year later, she ran even further and went to Glasgow. He remembered that Mathilde vaguely liked Chu Zhongtian.
But... he is such a silly girl. Chu Zhongtian likes Hollywood movie stars. Why do you still miss an ordinary girl who doesn’t look very good?
※※The next morning, Belmont took the high-speed train to Paris, but he didn't drive his own train.
Then at the Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, he met Delphin Mathilde, who was twenty minutes earlier than him.
Today, Mathilde deliberately dressed up and let Belmont surround her for a lot of time: "You don't look like you are going to watch a football game... it's more like you are going to have an appointment, ha!"
Mathilde knew that this guy with a broken mouth had few serious words and didn't care. She had indeed dressed up carefully. She felt that if her colleagues saw her here, they would never recognize that the person in front of her was the rustic hairstyle in the company, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and looking at her clothes would only make people feel that she was still living in an ordinary girl in the 1930s and 1940s.
Mathilde must have never heard of the Chinese saying "Women are to please themselves", but she felt that it would be meaningless to dress so beautifully without that person.
After Belmont praised Mathilde, he looked at his watch: "It's still early, should we change the boarding pass first? Or find a place to have a drink?"
Mathilde was not interested in finding a place to have a drink, and she said, "Just go and change the boarding pass."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, beautiful lady." Belmont pretended to be gentlemanly.
Just as they were about to change their boarding pass, a commotion suddenly came from behind, attracting their attention.
The two of them turned around and found that there was a group of people surrounding one.
Some of the people were carrying cameras, some were holding cameras, and some were holding microphones, interview machines and other tools. They were obviously a group of reporters.
The people surrounded by them could not see them at first. Soon the group of people went on a bend and walked straight towards their direction.
At this time, the two people can see clearly the person surrounded by the middle.
Mathilde recognized it as Emily Stan, her idol, and her former rival in love.
Belmont did not recognize the star surrounded by a group of reporters as the girl he once chatted in the stands at the French Stadium. He said before that he did not know Emily Stan, not to mention that Emily now wears sunglasses that can cover half of his face, and is a celebrity style. Although Emily also wore sunglasses at that time, unless she was the top detective, she could connect two women who also wore sunglasses together, because there were too many people in this world wearing sunglasses, hundreds of millions of people.
But judging from this scene, he knew that a star came. He was not very interested in stars, so he would not study who the person was.
He just noticed that something was wrong with Mathilde after seeing the female star appear.
He glanced at him strangely.
Then he compared the two women in front of him in his heart - men like to do such boring things, and compared which of the two women he saw was more beautiful.
He had to admit that he thought Mathilde had just seen makeup and was a beauty. But after seeing this female star, although she was wearing a pair of brown sunglasses, she still couldn't hide her beauty. Mathilde was far inferior to him... Belmont compared Mathilde to Emily in his heart, so why wasn't Mathilde doing this? What a woman pays most attention to is appearance. If she is beautiful, she will be confident and look ugly than others, and she will feel a little inferior.
Mathilde went out today and was much more beautiful than usual, but when she saw Emily, she suddenly felt very discouraged. Whether it was her innate conditions like her appearance, makeup or wearing such acquired methods, she was much worse than her enemy Emily Stan... Her fame, appearance, and taste... were much better than herself. This was a depressing opponent.
Just as Mathilde and Belmont were comparing each other in their hearts, Emily Stan had already walked straight behind them and stood in line.
It turned out to be a plane?
Mathilde and Belmont were both surprised.
Mathilde first realized that she was going to watch Chu's game, so she naturally had to take this flight. As Chu's girlfriend, Emily would definitely go to watch the game. But she didn't expect Emily Stan to set off now.
She suddenly became a little resentful to her idol - her boyfriend was injured, and she still didn't know if she could successfully participate in the finals. As her girlfriend was not by her boyfriend's side, she dressed so beautifully alone, attracting the attention of a large group of reporters, and she did not set off for Glasgow until the match day. Did she bear to let her lover bear such a lot of pressure alone? Or, because she is a star, she has a lot of things to be busy with and can't always be with Chu?
If it were me, I would definitely be with Chu for twenty-four hours, comforting him, encouraging him, and giving him confidence... Emily, standing behind the two of them, is being interviewed by reporters.
"...Yes, I went to Glasgow to watch the game. First of all, I am a football fan and I like football. Secondly, of course I went to cheer for Chu... Yes, I knew he was injured. In fact, I came to France from the United States because of this... "
When Mathilde in front of her raised his ears when he heard her mention Chu Zhongtian's injury.
"But I have confidence in him, and I know what this game means to him. If he says he can play, he will definitely play. I don't doubt this..."
"I have confidence in him", "I also know what this game means to him"... When these words rang in Mathilde's ears and then echoed in her mind, she suddenly realized what the biggest difference between her and Emily Stan was. It was not appearance, taste, nor fame.
But... When she was worried about Chu Zhongtian, Emily said that she was very confident in Chu; when she just wanted to make Chu pay attention to her health and not force her, Emily said that she knew what this game meant to Chu.
Yes, what does it mean?
In the eyes of her, a person who doesn't even count as a pseudo-fan, no matter how important a game is, it cannot be compared with physical health. If you make your injury worse for a game, wouldn't it be unpaid? Also, as a professional player, this game is not the only one in your life. Is it necessary to work so hard for the current game? What if the injury is aggravated in the game and affect future games?
Does Chu not understand such a simple truth? If he understands, why would he insist on playing in this game?
Although it is a final and you can win the championship if you win, as long as you are healthy, are you still afraid that you will not have such an opportunity in the future? Professional players do not have the chance to participate in the finals in their lifetime.
So what exactly does this game mean for Chu?
※※※Emily has accepted the interview with the reporters. She gestured to those people, indicating that they should not continue to disturb her, and also disturb the people next to them. The reporters left tactfully, because they had already obtained the interview content.
Emily Stan watched the reporters leave one after another, then turned around and patted Belmont in front of her.
"Hi, Chu's fans."
Belmont was shocked, and he turned around and looked at the star in front of him in surprise and confusion. He didn't quite understand why the star was saying hello to him like this, and he looked like they were very familiar to him.
Emily communicated with reporters in English during an interview just now. Mathilde could understand, but Belmont, a pure Frenchman, couldn't understand, so he didn't know the relationship between the star wearing sunglasses and Chu Zhongtian. If he knew, he wouldn't be so surprised.
"I'm sorry, who are you? Maybe you've been in my car, but you have to know that there are so many passengers in my life. I have to pick up at least twenty guests every day, so I'm sorry I really don't know who you are..." Belmont said a long time, and just said one thing-who are you?
Emily Stan took out a rubber band and tied her shawl hair into a ponytail, then smiled at Belmont and said, "I'm gone one year, and it's not surprising that I don't know me, Mr. Belmont." She blinked.
Seeing Emily's new hairstyle and her smile, Belmont suddenly remembered something. He pointed at Emily and opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Ah...ah! You are... the girl I met in the stands...I mean, the girl I met in the stands at the Stadium of France?"
Emily smiled and said, "I finally remembered it. I remember you promised to give me a signature from Chu. Now I'm here to ask you for it."
Belmont looked embarrassed. He agreed on a whim, but then forgot about it. He didn't expect that he would meet a woman he accidentally met in the stands. How could he think the world was so small? Where do you ask him to go to find a sign of Chu?
Mathilde listened to the conversation between the two people again. Belmont actually knew Emily, but judging from his performance, she didn't know Emily's identity. She thought it was really amazing. Should Belmont be stupid, or should Emily be a real actor and can act?
"Ah...this...ah...ah, next time, I will definitely come for you next time." Belmont had to use the procrastination tactic and passed this level first.
Emily didn't continue to get entangled. She didn't come to ask for any signature from Chu Zhongtian. If she really wanted that, she would do as much as she wanted and didn't need to find a taxi driver at all. She just met an acquaintance at the airport and felt it was very friendly, so she greeted Belmont in this fun way.
Then she tilted her head and saw Mathilde standing beside Belmont, a pretty woman.
It was obvious that the woman who always stood beside Belmont should know him, so she nodded and asked, "Is this your wife, Belmont?"
Mathilde's question was embarrassed by one sentence, and Belmont waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no. It's a friend of mine, Delphin Mathilde..."
As soon as he reported Mathilde's name, he found that Emily's face changed obviously, but soon, her expression changed and she returned to normal.
"I didn't expect you to be Miss Mathilde..." Emily smiled, thinking that the world was so small.
Mathilde also greeted Emily with great gratitude: "It's me, Miss Emily Stan."
Belmont next to him was shocked when he heard the name. Although he couldn't recognize Emily Stan, he had heard of this name many times - Chu Zhongtian's girlfriend!
He looked at Emily in surprise: "You, you...you are Emily?"
Emily smiled but didn't answer.
Belmont spread his hands and said, "Do you still have to ask me for his signature?"
Then both of them laughed.
In fact, Mathilde was also laughing, just a polite smile. If she didn't know that Chu Zhongtian and Emily's relationship, or if Emily and Chu Zhongtian were not that kind of relationship, she would probably be so excited now that she was so excited, right? Just like any normal star chaser, pestering Emily, asking her to sign, begging her to take a photo with her... It was soon three people's turn to change boarding passes, and they changed together. Belmont was very proud and proud of being able to sit with big stars, while Mathilde seemed very silent. Belmont could guess how Mathilde was silent. The party who failed in the battle for lovers saw the winner, and the winner not only won the victory in the competition for lovers, but also defeated the losers in other aspects. No matter what, the losers would be depressed, right?
But Belmont still decided that this was too stupid. Hasn't he let it go after a year?
To be continued...
