Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

After a long flight of more than ten hours, Lin Feng's plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.

"This way!"

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw Liu Yifei waving at me.

Although the other party was fully armed, wearing a mask and sunglasses, Lin Feng recognized him at a glance, just as the other party recognized him at a glance.

That's right, Lin Feng was also in disguise!
Lin Feng had been blocked at the airport by fans on several previous trips back to China, which made him suspect that his whereabouts might have been leaked by other passengers on the same flight.

So this time he learned his lesson and wrapped himself up tightly before boarding the plane.

Baseball caps, face masks, black sunglasses... everything that could be arranged was arranged.

To avoid being recognized, Lin Feng even poisoned himself and bought some temporary tattoos to put on his arm, giving himself a large full-arm tattoo.

In this way, even if someone doubts his identity because of his similar build and demeanor, he can dispel their doubts simply by showing off his two colorful tattooed arms.

Thanks to Lin Feng's foresight, this time we didn't see any fans holding up his posters and welcome banners in the arrival hall.

"How did you recognize me? I thought my disguise was pretty good!"

Liu Yifei was very surprised that Lin Feng recognized her in the crowd at a glance. She had been waiting there for a while, but no one around her recognized her. Otherwise, she would have run away in a sorry state long ago.

"Then how did you recognize me? My appearance has changed a lot, hasn't it?"

Liu Yifei looked Lin Feng up and down:
"It's definitely a big change. With a hood on, people would probably mistake you for a robber. I'm quite curious, didn't you receive any special treatment from the flight attendants on the plane before?!"

Lin Feng pretended to recall: "Now that you mention it, it seems like that's true. I was wondering why the flight attendants kept staring at me the whole way. Turns out they thought I was a dangerous hijacker!"

Although both of them disguised themselves, the airport was still crowded and noisy.

The two have not yet made their relationship public, so they did not linger at the airport. After collecting their checked luggage, they left the airport in Liu Yifei's car and returned to her residence.

The villa was large, but everything from the flowers and plants in the yard to the various items in the rooms was kept in perfect order by Liu Yifei.

It's clear that she spends a lot of time maintaining this place.

"Your room is all ready. Go take a shower first, I'll cook dinner, and then get some rest!"

Liu Yifei displayed the efficiency of a mistress of the house, stuffing towels, toiletries, and a change of clothes into Lin Feng's arms and pushing him towards the bathroom.

She put on an apron and went to the kitchen.

Watching Liu Yifei's busy figure in the kitchen, Lin Feng felt a warm current rise in his heart, as if he were surrounded by happiness.

During the Spring Festival, his parents had already visited the other party's home and arranged their engagement.

The wedding date was set for May 20, 2010, Lin Feng's birthday. The reason for choosing this date was that he would meet the legal marriage age stipulated by the country at that time.

Indeed, being too young isn't all good; it can also be a disadvantage.

After a relaxing shower, I lay in bed, enjoying the fresh scent of the sheets and blankets. All my fatigue vanished, and I almost fell asleep.

Lin Feng suddenly realized that there was something he hadn't done yet.

So he rummaged through the suitcase he had brought back and found a pair of rings.

These are a pair of relatively delicate and small engagement rings. Although they are not as luxurious as wedding rings, they still contain the sincere love between lovers.

Taking out the woman's ring from the pair of rings, Lin Feng tiptoed to the kitchen.

Suddenly, he hugged Liu Yifei from behind.

"What are you doing? The pot is going to catch fire!"

Liu Yifei struggled in his arms, thinking Lin Feng was playing some kind of prank. She had no idea what was about to happen and only had eyes for the food being cooked in the pot.

Lin Feng ignored her struggles, grabbed her left hand along her left arm, and slowly but firmly put the engagement ring on her left middle finger.

"Beautiful lady, this is a token of our predestined love. It has now been returned to its rightful owner, so please keep it safe!"

All of this was clearly unexpected. Liu Yifei subconsciously covered her mouth with her right hand and looked at Lin Feng with surprise.

Lin Feng didn't offer any explanation, but instead leaned in and kissed her.

A moment later, a scream came from the kitchen: the ingredients in the pot had caught fire because they hadn't been stirred for too long...

On May 30, Lin Feng took Liu Yifei's hand and they returned to Wuhan together.

The two men were there to meet her parents and also to participate in the Olympic torch relay.

After Liu Yifei changed her nationality back to her original place of residence, her household registration was once again settled in Wuhan.

As a native of Wuhan, she naturally applied for a torchbearer position in the Wuhan leg of the torch relay.

Each city has more than 200 slots, and for a well-known celebrity like Liu Yifei, the chances of getting approved are very high once she applies.

Although Lin Feng is not from Wuhan, he applied to be a torchbearer for the Wuhan leg of the Olympic torch relay because no relay activities were arranged in Xiaogan.

It was quite a coincidence that their batting order was next to each other; Lin Feng was the fifth batter and Liu Yifei was the sixth.

It's probably because both of them have considerable influence that they were passed so early in the baton relay!

At 8:10 a.m. on May 31, the torch relay in Wuhan officially began.

The first torchbearer was Yang Wei, the Olympic gymnastics champion. He received the torch in front of the Yellow Crane Tower and began the torch relay.

Although Lin Feng wasn't the first batter, his fame meant he attracted the most reporters and onlookers.

Lin Feng was already used to this, and even waved to the crowd while waiting for the torch, which drew cheers from the surrounding crowd.

A few minutes later, Lin Feng received the Olympic flame from the fourth torchbearer.

Escorted by several runners, he left Yellow Crane Tower Park along the designated route and stepped onto the Yangtze River Bridge.

Along the way, the roadside was filled with shouts from the crowd and the clicking of camera shutters. Even in broad daylight, the flashes almost blinded Lin Feng.

These days, people are still very enthusiastic about the Olympics.

It's far from the point where, after experiencing so much in later generations, the novelty wears off and interest diminishes.

The torch relay in Wuhan covered a total distance of 20.7 kilometers and involved 208 torchbearers.

This means that each person only needs to run about 100 meters. Although Lin Feng is famous, he did not receive any special treatment.

After crossing the Yangtze River Bridge, he completed his relay mission.

Not far ahead, the sixth torchbearer was waiting for him with a smile.

After passing the torch to Liu Yifei and taking a photo together, Lin Feng smiled and said to Liu Yifei:
"Go, Pikachu!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and the escorts around them couldn't help but laugh. They didn't expect that Lin Feng, such a sports superstar, would have such a cute side in private, which was completely different from the image in the rumors.

The torch relay in Wuhan lasted for three and a half hours, with the final leg completed by another Olympic gymnastics champion, Li Xiaoshuang.

As a province with a strong Olympic tradition, HUB province boasts a considerable number of Olympic champions and even more athletes.

Because of the large number of reporters and onlookers at the scene, Lin Feng and Liu Yifei were quite restrained and did not have much contact. However, under the watchful eyes of the numerous reporters taking photos, some observant individuals quickly noticed the engagement rings on their hands.

[Holy crap, Emperor Lin is engaged!]

【real or fake? 】

It's true, Lin Feng is already wearing an engagement ring!

Who is the woman?!

[It's said she's an actress.]

[An actress? How many clean actresses are there in the entertainment industry? I don't approve of this marriage!]

[The woman looks like the ethereal beauty Liu Yifei!]

I admit I spoke a bit loudly just now. I think this marriage is great; they're a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match!

[Tsk, so arrogant at first, then so obsequious—it's laughable!]

Lin Feng is a hugely influential figure in the sports world, while Liu Yifei is a popular actress in the entertainment industry.

The exposure of their affair caused a huge uproar on the internet, attracting countless discussions.

After hearing the news, most fans offered their blessings, while some worried that Lin Feng's relationship might affect his performance.

Liu Yifei's fans, however, felt like the sky had fallen:
The goddess in the hearts of countless people has actually gotten taken.

Some even shouted slogans like, "Gun in hand, follow me, kill Lin Gou, and rob Yifei!"

However, there were few responses. If it were someone else, people would probably worry about Liu Yifei, fearing that she had met the wrong person.

But if the other party is Lin Feng, such worries would be much less.

Considering Lin Feng's temperament, image, character, and the strength he has demonstrated in the football world, many people even feel that Liu Yifei is marrying above her station.

Both are celebrities, but sports stars, who rely on their own strength and achievements, naturally have a higher status than entertainment stars, and this is true everywhere.

Moreover, Lin Feng is not just any sports star; he is currently the number one player in the football world, with an influence even greater than that of top Hollywood stars.

Although Liu Yifei is somewhat famous in the country, she is not well-known on a global scale.

After learning the truth about Lin Feng, those fans who genuinely liked Liu Yifei also sent their blessings.

Just as Lin Feng and Liu Yifei's relationship was exposed, the Chinese Football Association also announced the latest training roster for the national Olympic team at the end of May.

The training camp will be held from June 7th to 22nd at the Xianghe National Training Base, with the aim of preparing for the Beijing Olympics.

This is the last training camp for the national Olympic team before the Olympics. In addition to continuing to work on team cohesion and practice tactics and playing styles, the team also arranged several teams of different levels as opponents for warm-up matches.

The Chinese Olympic team wasn't very lucky. In the draw for the Olympic men's football group last month, they were drawn against Brazil, a favorite to win the championship. Their remaining two opponents in the group are Belgium and New Zealand.

Brazil is a strong team and a nemesis for Chinese football.

When they encounter them, many fans are filled with worry, fearing that a situation like the 02 World Cup will repeat itself.

However, apart from Brazil, the other two opponents are not strong. With the current strength of the national Olympic team, it is not difficult to defeat them. As long as the national Olympic team can perform normally, the pressure to advance from the group stage is not great.

However, the draw against Brazil has put a lot of pressure on the Chinese Olympic team's goal of winning the group.

Although both teams advance from the group stage, the group winner can avoid strong teams from other groups in the knockout stage, increasing their chances of advancing to the semi-finals.

Therefore, the teams in each group, especially the top seeds, will do their best to win the group.

As the number one seed in Asia, the Chinese national football team is no exception.

Even if their opponent is Brazil, they will strive for victory.

With a few days left before reporting to the national Olympic team, Lin Feng took a break from his busy schedule and went on a road trip around China with Liu Yifei.

It's a pity there's not enough time; there are too many places to visit.

A week is simply not enough time for them to visit all the places they want to go.

What's a bit awkward is that, because of their immense fame and the fact that their relationship had just been revealed, they were in the eye of the storm.

So even though the two were fully disguised, they were still frequently recognized on the street, which attracted a lot of reporters and paparazzi, which was very annoying.

Indeed, if you enjoy the benefits of the spotlight, you have to accept its drawbacks; celebrities rarely have a private life.

……

On the 7th, Lin Feng drove to the Xianghe base early to report for duty.

Gao Lin and his group, like paparazzi, waited outside the base early on.

"I'm coming!"

"Quick, check if anyone's in the car!"

Several people craned their necks to peer into his car.

"Hey, that's strange, there's no one in the car!"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes at them, annoyed.
"Am I not human? What exactly are you trying to say, kid?"

"Hehe, I heard you're dating, Brother Lin, so I was wondering if your girlfriend would come with you today!"

"Go away, why would I bring her along for training?"

Just then, Zheng Zhi arrived, and Lin Feng asked him:
"Brother Zhi, when you're dating, do you bring your girlfriend to the national football team's training base?"

Zheng Zhi got married four years ago, so he's experienced in this area.

Upon hearing their questions, Zheng Zhi looked at them with the kind of compassionate gaze one might have for people with intellectual disabilities:

"Am I crazy? Why did I bring her here?"

Lin Feng shrugged and said to Gao Lin:
"Did you hear that? Only a madman would do something like that. You'd better watch out for your recklessness in the future!"

Gao Lin didn't care at all, and instead continued gossiping:
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, are you really dating that big star?"

"Is the 'Fairy Sister' prettier on TV or in real life?"

"Could you get me an autograph?"

The scene instantly turned into a massive fan meeting. Upon closer inquiry, it was discovered that everyone present, except for a few older folks, had seen the TV series starring Liu Yifei.

This made Lin Feng sigh, before the advent of short videos, there were quite a few stars like Liu Yifei who became household names with just one or two works.

However, after their generation, due to the abundance of entertainment options and the significant diversion caused by short videos, later celebrities no longer possessed the same level of national recognition.

He didn't recognize any of the many new generation stars, whether female or male. (End of Chapter)
