I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 387 Goodbye Shakira

The plane landed smoothly at Amprat Airport.

Barcelona in July is in an extremely hot and humid atmosphere.

Ronaldinho, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, has officially announced his move to FC Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Rijkaard, one of the former AC Milan trio, successfully moved into Barcelona despite the doubts of Barcelona fans.

Dream Team II is about to set sail.

Meanwhile, the future 'King of Football' Yoshi is also making his mark at La Masia and is about to embark on his first-team career.

But none of this matters.

In July 2003, the most exciting thing for the city of Barcelona was Shakira's concert.

After Liu Jin and his family landed, they heard Shakira's singing echoing through the airport.

Alizee couldn't help but exclaim, "She truly deserves to be called the Queen of Latin Pop!"

“You too can become a French-speaking superstar in the future.”

"Can I?"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Alizee's face immediately lit up with a smile.

Qianqian, who was following behind them, said to Sun Ya, "My uncle has a silver tongue."

Sun Ya couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't say that about your uncle. He must have a reason for saying that."

"Ya Ya, something's wrong with you."

"What's wrong with me?"

Sun Ya looked completely bewildered.

"Why are you taking my uncle's side? Aren't we still good sisters?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, a hint of panic flashed in Sun Ya's eyes.

However, she quickly calmed down and said with a smile, "I didn't speak up for my uncle. He's right."

With his help, Ali will definitely become a French-speaking superstar.

Qianqian looked at Sun Ya with suspicion.

Sun Ya appeared calm, making it impossible for her to detect any flaws.

But something still doesn't feel right!

Since my uncle went abroad to study, he's become like a flirtatious butterfly, chasing after women everywhere.

I've grown taller, my figure has improved, and I've even lost weight.

While he may not be as handsome as Leonardo DiCaprio, he's far more dashing than Spider-Man or Jason Momoa. Perhaps it's from eating too much steak, but his facial features are more angular, unlike his previous rounder, chubby appearance.

She's lost her former affability, but gained a lot of hormonal attraction.

No, we have to get Ya Ya away from Toulouse right away.

Alizee is beyond saving!
We must protect Fang Yaya. Don't let things end up with all her best friends wanting to be her aunts, leaving her with nowhere to turn for help.

Qianqian has already made up her mind.

After my uncle and grandmother boarded the plane back to China, I immediately returned to Toulouse, packed my bags, and headed to Metz ahead of schedule.

Her sister Ottilie has already found her a house.

I'll settle down in Metz first and wait for my major course registration in September.

……

Before setting off, Liu Jin had already booked the W Hotel in Olympic Port, Barcelona.

Although it's a bit far from the Mozzarella Olympic Stadium where Shakira held her concert, it's very convenient to get to.

The hotel is very stylish and offers ten different room types.

Every room offers stunning views of the Barcelona seascape.

July is also the peak tourist season in Barcelona.

It's not easy for Liu Jin to book four rooms at once.

Fortunately, he had arranged for Citibank to make the reservation in advance, so he was able to check in smoothly upon arrival at the hotel.

That evening, Shakira called and invited Liu Jin to the stadium for rehearsal.

"Oh my god, Shakira, it's been a long time."

As Liu Jin entered the stadium through a special passage, he saw Shakira from afar.

Her clothing was rather revealing.

A few years ago, the old lady would definitely have disapproved.

but now……

The old lady sometimes receives overseas channels on satellite TV when she has nothing to do, so she is used to seeing things from other countries.

And Spain, well...

This season, as you walk down the street, you'll see cool and refreshing scenery everywhere.

Yes, it's even cooler than Shakira.

After Liu Jin and Shakira finished their kissing ceremony, he introduced Alizee.

He didn't specifically introduce his mother and Qianqian, but Shakira, with her keen eyesight, immediately understood their relationship.

She even took a group photo with the elderly women to commemorate the occasion.

After the pleasantries, Shakira's assistant led Alizee and the old lady into the room.

The old lady was there for a visit, while Alizee was there for a rehearsal.

Despite her high status in France, Alizee was still a complete novice in front of Shakira, extremely inexperienced.

"Hey, Ms. Ripper, you specifically invited me to the concert and even gave Alizee a guest seat, is there something you need?"

The two stood in the audience seats, watching Alizee move around on stage.

Liu Jin suddenly spoke up.

Shakira rolled her eyes at him, looking exceptionally alluring.

"Amos, you are truly heartless."

"What's wrong with me?"

"You haven't contacted me since that day."

“Shakira, I’m really busy.”

"I know you're busy, but you can't not even reach people, can you?"

"hey-hey!"

Are you scared?

"What am I afraid of?"

"Afraid of Antonio..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk so ambiguously, it's like we have something going on."

Shakira couldn't help but giggle.

This crazy woman!
However, Liu Jin could understand.

In March 2001, Shakira and Antonio de la Rúa got engaged.

The couple originally planned to marry the following year, but in December 2001, Argentina experienced a devastating economic collapse and horrific riots. The Argentine government acted decisively, implementing a violent crackdown.

Although De La Rua was not directly involved, he was implicated because of his position in the government.

In 2002, De la Rúa stepped down.

De La Rua was arrested by the new government and has been missing ever since.

In late 2002, De La Roa was released.

However, he has not contacted Shakira.

The two remained engaged, but their relationship was essentially broken.

In mid-April, after her concert in Morocco, Shakira complained to reporters that she hoped De la Roa Jr. could contact her and clarify things.

However, there was no response.

I reckon Shakira is really upset about this right now.

However, Liu Jin knew that her relationship with De La Rua could not be described as a marriage, since they were only engaged, not married. This complicated relationship between the two would continue for many years, only finally ending in 2011.

Shakira is two years younger than Liu Jin.

In 2011, she was thirty-three.

It was quite a long relationship.

It's estimated that Shakira's ability to completely sever this relationship at that time was largely due to her growing fame.

In 2010, she sang the theme song for the South Africa World Cup.

The Latin pop diva's status is secure, and her English albums have also been a huge success.

This also put increasing pressure on De La Rua Jr., ultimately forcing him to step in and end the relationship...

After that, Shakira quickly started dating Gerard Pick and announced her pregnancy in September. The series of moves was dazzling.

However, it was 2003, and Piqué was still just a student at La Masia, unknown to the public.

"Okay, enough joking. If there's really nothing wrong, then I won't ask."

"It's not like nothing."

Shakira suppressed her madness and leaned against the railing.

Her body outlined an alluring curve.

Liu Jin laughed and said, "Speak properly. I can't concentrate on you like this."

"Amos, you are such an honest man."

Shakira giggled and stood up straight.

"You know about the 2006 World Cup, right?"

"Of course I know, but there are still three years to go."

"I'd like to try and get the chance to sing at the closing ceremony, but I'm missing a suitable song... I've asked quite a few people to compose a song for me, but I'm not satisfied with any of them. I'd like to ask you for your help, is that alright?"

"I?"

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

"why me?"

He wasn't belittling himself, but rather...

Yes, he composed several songs.

This includes one French song, three English songs, and one Spanish song.

To be honest, his fame and experience in the entertainment industry are far from sufficient, and his only collaborator is Alizee.

Well, Despacito was just an accident.

Given Shakira's status, if she wanted to commission a song, all she needed to do was make a statement, and America's songwriters would flock to her.

Why is he?
"Hmm, pleasing to the eye, is that a strong reason?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin burst into laughter.

"Okay, I admit I'm a little tempted."

"So, you agree?"

"Let me make this clear first, I can't guarantee that I can definitely create a suitable song."

Before the words were even finished, singing came from the direction of the stage.

As soon as the melody started, Shakira's eyes lit up, and she turned her head and said, "A Spanish song? You wrote it for her?"

"Ok!"

Liu Jin nodded and said, "You invited Ali because you're looking out for her."

I couldn't very well have her sing old songs on your stage, so I wrote a Spanish song for her, purely to fit the occasion.

"what name?"

“Solo Tú”.

Shakira wanted to say something more, but Alizee's performance on stage had already begun.

“Me preguntaba
Cómo sería besarte,

What would it feel like to be gently kissed?

Cómo sería llamarte,

How blissful it is to gently call your name.
Como seria llevarte de la mano a nuestro parque.
How wonderful it would be to hold you in my arms and take a walk in our park.
Y me preguntaba,

I always ask myself

Si jugarías al futbol comoél,

Will you be able to play football as well as your dad?
Si te parecerías a mí,

Do you look like me?
It's the best time to do it.
Can that girl also share sweetness with you?

Ahora lo sé，

Now I know.
Sólo pregunto el por qué，

I'm just baffled by this incredible thing.
Cómo en apenas segundos,

How amazing, in just a few seconds…

This song is not Shakira's singing style.

Gentle and quiet, like an autumn whisper.

Shakira leaned against the railing, listening quietly, a gentle smile unconsciously appearing on her face.

This is completely different from the "crazy beauty" image she had previously presented to Liu Jin.
