Chapter 1 Movie Shooting

The movie had already started filming. The crew traveled through the streets and alleys of Florence, and Léo Carax tried to show a beautiful city of Florence.

On the other side, Florence continued their battle on three fronts: Serie A, the European Champions League, and the Italian Cup. The players would only occasionally talk about the beautiful actress in the movie crew, but most of the time, they had to focus on their games against their opponents.

Ren Yudi, at the invitation of Léo Carax, would often visit the set. When watching Carax work, he would stand aside and listen carefully. Carax would sometimes jokingly ask him if he was planning to enter the film industry. Ren Yudi would usually just smile in response.

He was very rich, but now the Florence football team had almost exhausted all his energy. Movies? That was at most an amateur interest, a way to relax after work.

To Léo Carax's delight, Karina's first foray into film was very satisfactory. Apart from being a little nervous at the beginning, she quickly got into character. Even he, a notoriously picky director, could rarely find fault. Many shots were completed without a single retake, saving the producer a lot of budget.

It seemed that his choice of Karina as the lead actress was correct.

※※※

In fact, there were very few scenes in the movie involving the team's players. It was entirely for the purpose of promoting the Florence team that their players made cameo appearances. Quite a few players participated. There was a long shot by the training ground, with the entire Florence team in it. However, this was not a deliberate performance, but rather a shot taken by Caracas and his crew during Florence's daily training, without any prior notice, just like a group of reporters going to interview them.

There were not many people who really "acted" in it. Only Zhang Jun, Cruyff, Xiang Tao, Pazzini, Frey, and Lahm. And, among these few people, only one had lines—Zhang Jun, the others were his background.

The specific scene was that after training, the male fan protagonist stopped Zhang Jun to ask for an autograph. The others who were walking with him stopped to wait for him. After signing the autograph, Zhang Jun smiled and patted the male protagonist Cassotti on the shoulder, saying his only line: "Thank you, goodbye."

This scene was repeated many times, and the players were mostly nervous.

Carax found it very interesting. When facing the camera on the football field, they were as normal as if it was part of their lives. But off the field, when facing the film camera, they inexplicably became nervous. Zhang Jun couldn't find the right feeling for those two simple words even after saying them several times. And his teammates behind him, pretending to wait for him, would often make unexpected movements due to nervousness.

The only one who seemed normal was Cruyff. Because he kept a straight face as usual, without any expression, which was very much in line with the requirements of the movie—a standard NPC.

Because she didn't have her own scenes, Karina watched this scene from the sidelines. Of course, she herself didn't realize that her gaze was most often directed not at the somewhat nervous Zhang Jun, but at Cruyff, who was standing behind Zhang Jun like an outsider.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, why she would suddenly be so interested in a boy. Was it just because of his indifferent attitude towards her?

Cruyff never showed the slightest impatience. No matter how many times the scene was retaken, he just stood there, watching with a blank expression, as if these people and these things had nothing to do with him.

After watching for about half an hour, Karina found that Cruyff was actually a handsome guy if you looked closely. But the only drawback was that he always kept a straight face. What would he look like when he smiled? She seemed to have never seen him smile, not only smile, but not even get angry. Many players had two faces, one on the field and one off the field. But Cruyff was the only one who had that stinky face both on and off the field. She really couldn't understand how a person could always wear that expression? He was even more like an artist than she was, maybe he could do well in the entertainment industry after he retired?

Even smiling for a long time would make your facial muscles feel stiff and uncomfortable.

"Isabelle, Isabelle!" Her agent, Malouda, was calling her, but she didn't hear him. She was sitting on the chair, crossing her legs, propping her chin with her hand, her eyes following Cruyff's movements.

Malouda followed her gaze, then sighed, and suddenly increased the volume, shouting in Karina's ear, "Isabelle!!"

The sound not only startled Karina, but even the staff next to her were startled. Everyone's eyes were on the two of them. Isabelle, who had a guilty conscience, blushed. She said to her agent a little displeased, "What are you shouting for? This is working time, don't yell and disturb so many people."

She pointed her finger at the stunned staff, who quickly shrunk their heads and went back to their work obediently.

Malouda understood Karina's temper very well, so he didn't care. He still smiled and said to Karina, "Isabelle, stop looking, it's almost your turn."

"Who's looking, I wasn't looking... what was I looking at?" Karina suddenly realized something was wrong, and then she glanced at Malouda. "Okay, okay, I'm going to put on makeup!"

Karina picked up the skirt of her costume and walked to the makeup room with big strides, very unladylike. Malouda shook his head behind her. He really wanted to remind Karina to pay attention to her image in front of the reporters, but if he shouted it out loud, wouldn't that be trying to cover it up?

Fortunately, perhaps more reporters were focusing on Zhang Jun, who was trying his hand at acting for the first time. Poor him, he was surrounded by a group of reporters as soon as he came down from the set. There were sports reporters and a large group of entertainment reporters. These days, chasing stars is fashion, in different circles.

The charm of football is really great. Here, Isabelle was overshadowed by Zhang Jun.

※※※

While Zhang Jun was still telling the reporters about his feelings about filming for the first time, Cruyff was already walking towards the parking lot with Xiang Tao.

No reporters went to interview him. The sports reporters had long known Cruyff's temper, so no one went to provoke him. And the entertainment reporters, after so many days of contact and setbacks, also knew what kind of person Cruyff was, so naturally no one wanted to touch that bad luck anymore.

Because it was being filmed on location next to the training ground, the makeup room was a converted bus, a common piece of equipment for many film crews. Karina was sitting in the bus at this time, having the makeup artist apply foundation to her face.

Of course, because her face was still red, the makeup artist simply teased Karina a few times: "Isabelle, your face is so red, how can I put makeup on you?"

This female makeup artist was Carax's personal makeup artist. She had done the makeup for several successful films, so Karina couldn't lose her temper with her, and could only stare at the mirror and sulk.

Across the mirror was the car window. The car window was open, and she saw a figure from inside.

Cruyff and Xiang Tao happened to be passing by the bus. Xiang Tao seemed very interested in it, and he kept craning his neck to look inside. But Cruyff indifferently walked forward.

Xiang Tao saw Karina, and he suddenly grabbed Cruyff: "Hey! Cruyff, look, it's that beautiful woman!"

Cruyff didn't turn his head: "Youyou..."

As if by magic, Xiang Tao immediately lost his energy.

Karina saw all this clearly, although she didn't understand what they were saying, she could still guess the reason.

The words of the makeup artist and the agent were still echoing in her ears. She had never felt so humiliated as this time. Yes, everyone was an acquaintance, and it was okay to say a few jokes. But what was with this boy's indifferent attitude?!

Was she not even as good as a football in front of him?

The more she thought about it, the angrier Karina became. She forgot that she was putting on makeup. She suddenly stood up from the chair, which startled the makeup artist. The hand that was drawing her eyebrows trembled, and a black line was drawn on Karina's face...

Just as she was about to apologize, she saw Karina rush out. At this moment, she could only pray that no reporters outside would notice the angry Karina.

Xiang Tao was about to follow Cruyff to leave when he heard hurried footsteps behind him. He thought something had happened, and when he turned his head to look, he was almost frightened into shouting. With only half of her makeup on, a black line drawn on her face, and an angry, unkind expression, Karina looked like a ghost to him at this time.

"Hey, you!" Karina pointed at Cruyff behind Xiang Tao and shouted sharply.

Cruyff heard the call and turned his head, but he suddenly froze, then tilted his head and finally couldn't help but laugh.

This was the first time Karina had seen Cruyff laugh. She didn't expect this cold boy to be so charming when he laughed. For a moment, she was fascinated by Cruyff's smile, and forgot why she had rushed out so quickly. She just stood there dumbfounded, until the flash of the reporter awakened her.

Then she found that Cruyff and Xiang Tao had already walked away. She turned her head again and saw her agent, Malouda, covering his face next to the excited reporter, while she herself didn't know what had happened.

※※※

In a very short time, Karina's horrific face appeared on the covers of many entertainment magazines and in the news on entertainment television. It became a topic of conversation for countless people, and also made many fans sad - this was their goddess!

With such terrible makeup and her "lively" expression, it was no wonder that even the cold-blooded Cruyff could laugh.

Malouda threw the newspaper in front of Karina and said very angrily: "Isabelle, what can I say about you? You are not a newcomer in the entertainment industry, but how can you still make such a low-level mistake? The image we have painstakingly cultivated for you is all ruined! Lady, pure, goddess... now it has all become a handle for people to laugh at you, and your competitors are probably the happiest, right?"

Karina was like a dead pig, saying nothing, letting Malouda vent. Her agent was right. In order to create her perfect image, everyone had done a lot of work in the five years since her debut. She was very successful in making her appear as a well-behaved girl, a pure girl, and a beautiful goddess in front of everyone. Many fans did not hide the fact that they liked Karina because they felt that she was very pure and beautiful at first glance, and that there were fewer and fewer pure girls in this dirty entertainment circle.

Now it's all over, the whole of France is discussing and laughing at her look.

Some media even satirized her very harshly, saying that it was a typical "medieval shrew look", and asked whether Leo Carax was filming a "medieval shrew love story".

"...Hey, Isabelle, say something. What exactly has been wrong with you lately? After coming to Florence, you have been distracted since you met that kid, you don't want to tell me you've fallen in love with him, do you?"

Love? Fall in love with... him?

Isabelle suddenly raised her head and looked at her agent. "Nonsense! Who would fall for that sexually indifferent person?! What pure girl, what beautiful goddess, aren't they all what you put on me? It's just a business strategy, I don't want to be one!"

Malouda's expression suddenly became very serious. His voice was much lower, but even more stern: "Isabelle, are you blaming me and Ms. Farmo? That's right, those business strategies were all made by us, but you yourself made this decision, none of us forced you."

Perhaps realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have, Karina's attitude, which had been very tough just now, softened: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She murmured, biting her lip.

Malouda sighed. He originally thought that letting Karina come here to film a movie would help her career. He didn't expect that it would turn out like this now. How would Ms. Marlene Farmo, who had always valued Karina very much, treat him, a wage earner?

"You should calm down, I think you've been in a bad mood lately." Malouda threw down these words and left the hotel room.

The room door slammed shut.

Karina sat weakly on the sofa. She really didn't expect that her impulse would turn things into this. Looking at the overwhelming criticism in the media and the laughter on the Internet, even she herself was a little scared. Was her acting career over? These days, Ms. Farmo must be busy explaining things for her, right?

Actually, she didn't mean to make it like this... She just wanted to embarrass Cruyff a little, but she gave herself a huge embarrassment instead.

Didn't she have a chance to tie the score in front of that boy? Being humiliated like this again and again? This was not what Karina's character allowed. Don't look at the outside world promoting her as a well-behaved girl. In fact, her autonomy was quite strong. Otherwise, Farmo's brokerage company would not have spent five years continuously shaping Karina's image. They were afraid that she would reveal her true character if they were not careful.

Karina really, really wanted to get back at Cruyff. She must make Cruyff be fascinated by her charm, she must make Cruyff face her existence, and after driving Cruyff crazy, she would announce to the outside world that he was her boyfriend, and kick him away when the whole world started hyping it up.

This was Karina's revenge on Cruyff. She didn't think there was a better plan than this. She also wanted Cruyff to taste the feeling of being ignored.

However, suddenly thinking of Cruyff's smile today, she still felt a little aftertaste deep in her heart. The gentleness of that smile almost made her forget that Cruyff was a boy like a freezer before.

Maybe it was because he smiled so little that he smiled so beautifully?

※※※

Malouda was still calling Ms. Farmo in his room, asking about the handling of this matter and inquiring about Ms. Farmo's opinion of him. He had been in the position of Karina's agent for five years, and he didn't want to change jobs now.

Marlene Farmo was indeed a little dissatisfied, but she hadn't fired him yet. She just said that this matter must be remedied as much as possible, and that the impact should not be allowed to expand any further... But it had already expanded to this point, and it was unlikely to expand any further. This matter was indeed difficult.

While the two were discussing, Malouda's room door was suddenly pushed open. He was a little annoyed and was about to scold the waiter who had rashly barged in, but when he looked up, he saw Karina with a determined expression.

Karina saw that Malouda was on the phone, and she guessed that he must be calling Ms. Farmo. That was even better, she would tell the two of them together.

She walked up to Malouda, making sure that her voice could be clearly transmitted to Ms. Farmo on the other end of the phone.

"Lilian, I plan to transform. I don't want to be a pure goddess singer anymore, I want to be myself, be Karina, not a goddess."

Karina said seriously, not letting anyone think she was joking.

After speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Malouda standing there dumbfounded.

"Hey, Lilian, was that Karina talking just now? What did she say? Hey..."

"Ms. Marlene, I suddenly thought of it, maybe this is an opportunity for us..."

※※※

When eating at Xiang Tao's house - Cruyff never cooked his own meals, but always sponged off Xiang Tao and Zhang Jun's houses, and he did so with peace of mind - Youyou asked Cruyff for his dirty clothes to wash. Cruyff pointed to the basket placed at the door, which was piled up like a small mountain, all of them.

Just like he never cooked his own meals, he was too lazy to do laundry. Before Youyou was around, he couldn't wash his clothes clean by himself. Now that there was a girl, he naturally left it all to her. Although Xiang Tao was slightly dissatisfied, Youyou didn't care, so she didn't say anything.

"Have you cleaned out your pockets?" Youyou checked each piece of clothing.

Cruyff looked at it, and then said: "I don't remember, flip through it again."

Youyou shook a card out of a piece of clothing. She picked it up and handed it to Cruyff: "Look, there's this in your clothes."

Cruyff took it and looked at it: a card with the female star's phone number and name written on it.

If Youyou hadn't washed his clothes for him, he would have probably forgotten that he had such a thing. What would he use the phone number for? Call her to sleep with him? Only those madams would hand him business cards as soon as they met, and it was still such an ambiguous pink color...

Cruyff snorted and threw the card into the trash can: "It's nothing, I forgot to throw it away at the time."

Xiang Tao knew what Cruyff had thrown away, but he just watched from the side and didn't say anything.

※※※

Because of this "ghost face" incident, there was a clear increase in the number of French entertainment reporters coming to Florence to visit the "Boys and Girls Are Young" crew. Everyone was waiting to see what the follow-up to this matter would be.

The media was indeed powerful. In just a few days, the gossip media had investigated the reason for the "French goddess'" gaffe - the cold handsome guy in the photo: Cruyff Lee.

Then more reporters flocked to the Florence training ground, hoping to photograph, or even interview Cruyff. Those French colleagues who had come to Florence first began to snicker, because these people were destined to run into snags.

This time they ran into not Cruyff, but Sabato, the powder keg. Normally, Florence's training was not closed to the public, unless before particularly important matches - such as the European Champions League final. But because a large group of entertainment reporters who didn't know anything suddenly poured in, Sabato had no choice but to stipulate that the training base would not receive any reporters and media until that group of "bitch-raised entertainment reporters" left. Even the "Milan Sports News" and Florence local media, who usually had good cooperation, were refused entry.

This caused Sabato's reputation in the local Italian media to decline again, but he didn't care. All he needed was a quiet and stable training environment.

Unable to interview Cruyff, everyone could only turn their attention back to Isabelle Karina.

To the surprise of many, Karina's brokerage company did not make any explanation for this storm, as if nothing had happened. They also didn't do any public relations for the media, letting the media hype Karina's embarrassment so much. They also ignored the online debate about whether Karina was a goddess, whether she was pretending to be pure, or whether it was her nature. They even seemed to be fueling the flames.

The Farmos' company's series of actions was incomprehensible, and some people even speculated whether Farmo was planning to abandon this unpromising Karina.

But Karina's change was intriguing.

Before this, no matter how Karina was behind the scenes, she was always polite in front of the media, always smiling, always speaking softly, and with a kind expression. She gave a very good impression. But what about after this?

When the media caught her on the set, hoping to hear her comments on the matter, she either glared and refused to make any comments. Or she would directly counterattack, and her counterattacks were previously unimaginable coming from her mouth.

"Yes, I was very emotional that day, and it led to the makeup artist's mistake. But so what? I can't imagine what things are worth you reporters making such a fuss about. I'm afraid the end of the world is coming, and in your eyes it's not as serious as a black line on my face. What's wrong with being a star? Stars are also people, I also have joys, sorrows, and joys. Don't think that I can only smile in front of the camera. When I'm in a bad mood, I will lose my temper at people, and at that time I don't care if it's my agent or you reporters... Why lose my temper? Are you asking knowingly? I don't want to hide anything. Yes, I am very interested in that Cruyff, but! Definitely not the kind of relationship you are guessing in the news! Okay, the above is what you want to hear and what I want to say. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. I've been working all day, and I should take a good rest."

After speaking, ignoring the stunned reporters, she directly pushed away the two reporters who were blocking her way, and strode away from the crowd.

Later, a TV media outlet asked in their program: Is the Isabelle Karina we are seeing now still the Karina we used to know? Lilian, are you sure Isabelle hasn't been abducted by aliens?

It's no wonder the French media asked such questions. If it was half a month ago, Karina would definitely say: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you for my emotional excitement that day, and I also apologize to all the fans who care about me and support me through you. As a public figure, making that kind of behavior in that situation disappointed you, and I will try my best to make up for it with my performance. I didn't expect things to be so bad..." Her voice would get smaller and smaller, and there would definitely be tears in her eyes, and a pitiful expression would definitely attract one-sided sympathy and criticism of the mockery.

In fact, afterwards, some media analyzed the remedial measures that Karina would take, but Karina's brokerage company didn't make any statement, and Karina also defended herself with strong words, which was very unusual, and she didn't shy away from her interest in Cruyff. This had to make those French entertainment media think hard to guess whether there was something hidden behind this that they couldn't see?

Where was the pure girl who used to blush for half a day when talking about scandals?

※※※

Not caring at all that France was mourning the twilight of the idol at this time, Karina frequently appeared outside the training ground. Sabato's closure was only effective for the media, and Karina was a member of the crew, and she had a thousand reasons to come, and this could not be stopped.

Every time Karina came, she just looked outside the training ground, and didn't take the initiative to talk to the players, and then left after watching for a while.

The arrival of a beauty would naturally make the players very happy, but they had no chance to talk to Karina. They could only guess why the beauty was here. Most people guessed that it was related to Cruyff, because several people saw Karina hand the business card to Cruyff at the time, and now the media was hyping that Karina was interested in Cruyff. Fools could figure it out. As for those who didn't guess it, they were just wishful thinkers who thought that the beauty was here to find them...

Of course, the reporters also knew about Karina's actions, but the crew's explanation for this was: she went to observe the team, which helped her understand her role and the connotation of the movie...

This was nonsense, so no one believed it at all. Everyone knew what Karina was going to do, just to "study" Cruyff, who she was very interested in.

Although Karina didn't say anything, just looked at it from outside the wire fence and left, but coming every day and often coming would cause Cruyff a lot of trouble. He really couldn't completely ignore this woman anymore.

If interviews were not allowed outside the training ground, could Sabato control other places?

The great French entertainment reporters inherited all the glorious traditions of the paparazzi in this regard. They found Cruyff's residence in the wealthy area of Florence without any effort, and then waited outside all night in three shifts. Whenever Cruyff came home and went out, they could see the French reporters greeting him kindly.

These people didn't seem to be afraid of Cruyff's cold eyes and cold faces. Maybe they were used to it, and their faces were already thick enough to surpass the Great Wall. So Cruyff couldn't do anything about them, and could only let them do as they pleased.

Even if he let them do as they pleased, it couldn't be denied that this did have some impact on Cruyff in this regard. Before, no sports media dared to squat outside his house, but now the French entertainment media had done it. Although he hadn't seen anything abnormal in Cruyff during training, Di Livio was quite worried about this. He was afraid that Cruyff would explode in the game. Everyone knew that Cruyff had a bad temper, and there were always opponents who would deliberately anger Cruyff during the game, but they rarely succeeded, because Zhang Jun was there, and he was always keeping Cruyff calm.

The best situation was not very good. Cruyff was being harassed off the field, and he was also being questioned in terms of football. The matter stemmed from a commentary article in the "Turin Sports News". An expert questioned Cruyff's qualification as "one of the best attacking midfielders in Serie A at present". He believed that compared to Kaka, Cruyff's reputation came more from his fancy footwork than from his contribution to the team, and believed that an attacking midfielder who couldn't shoot and score goals was disabled.

This expert had been writing columns in the Turin Sports News before, and some of his insights were quite unique and commendable. But he was a firm "anti-Florence person", so it was understandable that he wrote such an article. The key was that the media's reprinting and online discussions formed a small trend, and many people were discussing whether an attacking midfielder who didn't score goals, or scored few goals, was qualified.

Cruyff only scored five goals in the league last season, which was indeed a bit low for an attacking midfielder. And he hasn't scored a goal so far this season. On the other side, Kaka of AC Milan has already scored three goals.

With this kind of trouble on and off the field intertwined, Di Livio was worried that Cruyff would suddenly explode.

Coach Sabato didn't worry much. He just defended Cruyff when he was interviewed: "Cruyff is a very good attacking midfielder. I think he is the best attacking midfielder in the current Serie A league and even the whole world. No, not one of them, but the best, the only one. People can't measure his value by how many goals he scores, that's the standard for strikers, not attacking midfielders. To be honest, the person who wrote that commentary doesn't understand football at all. Yes, he is not me, so he doesn't know how valuable Cruyff is to Florence. Cruyff is a genius, and geniuses can't be measured by the standards of ordinary people. Anyone who says his footwork is fancy but not practical should go to school and then talk about this issue!"

※※※

When the league reached November, Florence was still at the top of the standings and still maintained its proud record of being unbeaten. But the next game would be very, very difficult to play. Because they were going to challenge AC Milan away.

Now Florence was in first place, and AC Milan was behind them in second place.

Florence had no defeats, while AC Milan only had one defeat. The two teams had the same number of wins, and Florence just had one more draw than AC Milan.

At this time, the game against AC Milan was a key battle, but before that, too many "exciting" stories had happened around Florence.

Karina wasn't ignorant of everything. From the media and other people's conversations, she still learned that the Florence team had some difficulties recently, and they had a very important game to play, but before the game, they had to face things that were distracting.

But she still insisted on her habit of going to the training base to observe Cruyff whenever she was free.

The entertainment reporters were initially enthusiastic about tracking and reporting, but later found that Karina didn't do anything except stand outside and watch, and immediately felt very bored. They even suspected that they had been fooled by Karina and were doing useless work by staying outside every day.

The male and female protagonists of the event didn't say anything, and the people watching the excitement naturally felt bored.

One day, Karina came a little late. There was nothing she could do about it. Her scenes were long and the time was uncertain. In fact, now not only the reporters, but even the people in the crew and the team didn't understand what Karina was doing. If she was pursuing Cruyff, she wouldn't talk to him. What was that all about?

Karina came late, but it happened that the team had just finished training, and the players were walking towards the parking lot in groups of three or five.

The players almost simultaneously discovered Karina standing outside.

"Hey, Cruyff, look, she's here again!" Someone shouted loudly to Cruyff, who was walking at the back.

Everyone laughed.

Cruyff raised his head and saw Karina outside the parking lot.

Karina was angry because Cruyff never dared to look her in the eye, but who knew that Cruyff also had fire in his heart. Now he was almost the laughing stock of the team. Everyone was talking about his relationship with this woman, but what kind of relationship could they have? The number of words they had said combined was probably no more than thirty words.

It was all because those media were making trouble and tying them together.

Zhang Jun had his own car, and Xiang Tao also bought two cars because of Youyou. Only Cruyff didn't buy a car, so he usually rode in the same car as Xiang Tao for training.

Xiang Tao's Audi was parked on the outside - because he came late for training and was almost late - the two had to walk to the outside of the parking lot, which happened to pass in front of Karina.

Many people deliberately passed in front of Karina and greeted her, and Karina politely smiled back.

Zhang Jun got into his car, but he didn't start it immediately. Instead, he sat in the driver's seat and observed the situation outside through the rearview mirror.

Xiang Tao and Cruyff walked towards the place where Karina was standing. Under normal circumstances, the two would turn right when they were five meters away from Karina. But this time, Xiang Tao turned, but Cruyff didn't.

He walked straight towards Karina.

Not only did others feel incredible, but even Karina herself was a little surprised.

Cruyff stopped in front of Karina and asked in English, "What exactly do you want to do?" His tone was very unfriendly.

Karina was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "No, I'm just here to observe the players and figure out the character's thoughts."

"Don't use the words to fool the reporters to fool me." His tone was as cold as if a gust of cold air was spraying out of his mouth.

This obvious "I hate you" attitude didn't make Karina retreat, nor did it make her angry as before. She still smiled and said, "Then what do you want me to be here for?"

※※※

Xiang Tao looked back while walking towards Zhang Jun's car: "Hey, do you think there is a problem with these two?"

Zhang Jun retracted his gaze from the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "There is no problem, but there is a good show." This somewhat willful and capricious girl may be Cruyff's nemesis.

"Oh?" Xiang Tao leaned on the roof of Zhang Jun's car and tilted his head to look at the two.

※※※

Cruyff tilted his head, and then turned it back. He seemed a little helpless. His original intention was to anger the other party with a cold tone, and then he would warn her to stay away from him. But when he did this, he realized how troublesome it was to encounter a "shameless" person.

Before, he could ignore her, but now the problem had been hyped up, and it was self-deception to say that he ignored her. No matter what, he had to solve this matter.

"I didn't ask you to come, how would I know what you're here for?"

Looking at Cruyff's appearance, Karina felt a sense of accomplishment as a victor in her heart. The person who had always been calm and steady was finally unable to hold back in front of her. Her hard work for so many days had finally paid off.

Karina smiled.

Cruyff looked at her inexplicably.

"Haven't you found out yet? This is the most we've talked since we met." Karina covered her mouth and smiled.

Cruyff still didn't understand.

"Even if you don't admit it, you can't ignore me anymore, you can't ignore me in your heart." Karina pointed to Cruyff's heart.

Cruyff really couldn't understand Karina's theory. He thought it was all funny, just like a farce. He chuckled: "Do you think this is very interesting?" Full of disdain.

Karina was still not angry, "I just think it's interesting, I don't care what you think."

Cruyff sighed. He really didn't know what to say when he met someone who was even more rogue than him.

"I know, you're going to Milan to play a game the day after tomorrow, right? Very good, I will go to the game too. Since I come to see you every day, score a goal for me then?"

"Hey..."

"It's settled then, I have to rush back, there's still a night scene to shoot, goodbye!" After speaking, she turned around and ran away before Cruyff could say anything.

"Hey! Hey..." Cruyff didn't even know what this woman's name was. The other party must have told him, but he forgot.

※※※

Zhang Jun kept laughing in the car, while Xiang Tao tried his best to hold back his laughter, tidied up his expression, and then walked towards his car: "The good show is over, I'm going to drive."

"No, the good show has just begun..."

※※※

"Hello, Mr. Ren? Yes, that's right, I hope to get a ticket for the game in Milan the day after tomorrow. Can you help me find a way?"

"Watching the game? I remember you're not a fan."

"Well, I'm suddenly a little interested."

"You don't need the tickets, I'll go too, you can watch the game with me in the box."

"That's great, thank you!"

"You're welcome. How can I not agree to what a beauty asks for? But, your work..."

"I don't have a scene that day, hehe."
