Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

"Tschuldigung!! I'm so sorry, sir!"

A soft, charming voice rang out, and a fair, jade-like arm reached out to lift the bicycle.

The beautiful young girl, as lovely as an elf, quickly knelt down beside Lu Xiao.

He came over to check with an apologetic look on his face.

According to Lu Xiao's aesthetic standards, he is not very interested in Western women with high bone structure, full and thick lips, and a hot figure.

I prefer actresses like Liu Yifei, Sophie Marceau, and Jennifer Connelly, who possess an Eastern aesthetic.

From elementary school to the high school I'm in now, there have always been different girls in my class who have taken the initiative to approach me.

Lu Xiao politely declined most of them.

Having lived in Germany and Belgium for so many years, it's rare to find a girl who can instantly capture my heart.

The girl in front of me looks like she stepped right out of a two-dimensional manga.

It possesses both an aloofness and a cute softness.

In addition, the girl's voice was much gentler than that of an average German.

It's surprising that such a rigid German pronunciation can create such a lazy and soft effect.

Being hit by a car while riding a bicycle—this kind of first encounter is a bit melodramatic.

But Lu Xiao felt he had hit the jackpot by being able to strike up a conversation with this girl.

"Sir, are you alright? Sir..."

The girl burst into tears, her eyes reddening. Lu Xiao lay on the ground, looking quite seriously injured.

Actually, Lu Xiao was fine. The car was going very slowly, and he only scraped his knee when he fell to the ground.

Leverkusen is a quiet little town, and this road is usually deserted, so the accident did not disrupt traffic.

"I...I'm fine. It wasn't your fault. It was...cough cough, I wasn't paying attention when I was crossing the street..."

Lu Xiao deliberately coughed twice.

"You should leave now, let's just leave it at that."

"This won't do! Hang in there, I'll call an ambulance..."

"Hey, no."

Lu Xiao reacted quickly and grabbed the girl's soft, delicate hand.

"gentlemen?"

"No need to call an ambulance, I can go back by myself, I'll be fine."

"But……"

Lu Xiao struggled to stand up, nearly falling over as her legs wobbled.

The girl was very considerate, wrapping her arms around Lu Xiao's waist, and Lu Xiao gently placed his hands on her slender shoulders.

It smells so good!

Lu Xiao didn't do it on purpose; he had just lost his balance due to knee pain.

We stopped her from calling an ambulance, partly because an ambulance would definitely expose the truth, and partly because calling an ambulance in Germany is quite expensive.

A trip with medical staff costs 400 euros.

For minor accidents or illnesses like these, public health insurance requires full out-of-pocket payment;

Those who purchase commercial insurance also need to pay in advance and then be reimbursed based on valid receipts.

Bayer Leverkusen provides commercial insurance for all its players, and these few hundred euros can be fully reimbursed.

But there's no need to make it so complicated.

"Are you really alright, sir? How about I take you home?"

"My place is just ahead, thank you. Don't worry, it's nothing."

Although Lu Xiao wanted to take a ride in the girl's Porsche 911,

But I need to go back to school immediately to catch up on my lessons.

He's already taken a lot of leave this month, so he'll definitely miss today's class.

"Okay, I'm really sorry."

The girl bowed deeply in apology, her face full of remorse.

"I just got my probationary driver's license, and if I get caught by the traffic police, it will affect my future driver's license exams... So I'm really grateful that you didn't pursue the matter today."

"Okay, I'll leave you my phone number. I'll cover all medical expenses if you incur any related costs later."

Oh, so it's the same age as me. No wonder I was so flustered.

In Germany, there is a two-year probationary period for obtaining a driver's license, during which management is relatively strict, and serious cases may require retaking the test.

"Alright."

I got the girl's phone number.

"Wait a minute! Who are you...?"

The girl was too nervous to look Lu Xiao in the eye.

Now that she breathed a slight sigh of relief, she realized that Lu Xiao looked more and more familiar. Her sapphire-like eyes lit up instantly, and she almost screamed out in surprise!

"You!!! You're Lu! It really is you!!"

"Do you know me?"

"Of course!! I'm your fan!"

The girl excitedly unbuttoned her denim jacket, revealing a white away jersey underneath.

Although she was not yet fully developed, her breasts already outlined an alluring curve.

To show Lu Xiao the number on the back, she even took off her coat, revealing her slender waist.

"Hmm, not bad."

Lu Xiao secretly admired him, and then noticed the number on the jersey.

"mine?"

"Yeah!! I bet on your first FA Cup match! You were so cool playing Schalke yesterday!!"

Originally, the girl had a gentle and aloof temperament, like an elf, but the mention of football seemed to ignite a fire within her.

"It's my pleasure."

Lu Xiao never imagined that the first fan he met offline would be the one who caused his accident.

What a strange turn of events!

The girl seemed a little embarrassed, her face flushed as she cautiously said:

"Could I... sign my autograph?"

"Of course...where should I sign?"

Lu Xiao deftly pulled a fine marker from her bag.

The day he became a professional player, Lu Xiao carried a pen with him almost everywhere he went, and it finally came in handy.

"Here, please."

The girl gestured for a while, then pointed to the hem of her jersey.

When Lu Xiao went up to sign, they inevitably got quite close, which made both of them a little nervous.

After signing in flowing Chinese calligraphy, Lu Xiao looked up at her:

"What's your name?"

"Chloe"

"It sounds great."

"Danke..."

Having such close contact with her favorite star athlete, and then having an accident, young Chloe's head is spinning.

"To Chloe, all is well."

"Thank you so much for today!"

"It's nothing serious. Remember to have a parent accompany you when you drive next time. Also, pay attention to the road."

"Okay, I will."

Chloe stuck out her tongue cutely, waved goodbye to Lu Xiao's departing figure as he pushed the cart away, stood there blankly for a moment, and then climbed into the car.

The sound of my heart pounding was clearly audible.

Lu Xiao lives just steps from her apartment, so there's no need for her to ride a bike for now.

As he pushed the cart, he couldn't resist taking out his phone.

First, he saved the girl's phone number to his contacts, and then copied the number to Facebook to find her as a friend.

Chloe is very confident in her looks and uses a selfie as her profile picture.

Open the homepage photo album...

"Wow, she's a model?"

The photo album dazzled Lu Xiao; it seemed that Lu Xiao had already signed with a talent agency and had done numerous photo shoots for print magazines.

So engrossed in watching, Lu Xiao almost bumped into the fire hydrant where the autograph was being signed.

He quickly put away his phone and focused on walking.

Whether you're walking, cycling, or driving, using your phone is dangerous.

……

What happened that day was just a minor episode in the otherwise monotonous training routine.

Lu Xiao's daily routine remained the same, consisting of only three points: home, work, and study.

It was early September 2013, and the weather in Germany was gradually turning to autumn.

Bayer Leverkusen will be playing at home against VfL Wolfsburg.

Thanks to his outstanding performance as a substitute in the last round, Lu Xiao earned himself a place on the roster!

Of course, it's still very difficult to get a starting spot.

Lu Xiao, sitting on the bench, wasn't in a hurry. Being able to consistently make the roster was already the first step to success!
