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

"Campione! Camppione!"

"Ale, Ale, Ale—"

"Look who's back!"

"Our King!"

"I salute you, my Majesty!"

In the European world of white people, getting a group of arrogant white people to bow down and pay homage to a person of Asian descent is an incredibly difficult task.

In the Atlético Madrid locker room

This impossible scene did indeed occur.

After Lu Xiao finished her television interview,

He was greeted by the adoration of all his teammates.

Two games with six goals each isn't impressive enough, so how about three games with eight goals each?

At this point, even those in the team who disliked Lu Xiao the most were genuinely impressed by him.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Xiao was completely bewildered by these guys.

"The season has just begun, and you're already popping champagne and celebrating your championship victory at halftime?"

You could hear them singing from outside the corridor; it was clearly a classic song from a European club's championship victory.

They got cocky after playing just three league games.

"Don't be so serious, relax, bro!"

"Campione! Campione! Ale, Ale, Ale——"

Griezmann pulled Lu Xiao close, and the two of them, arm in arm, continued singing the victory song.

"Whatever, who cares?"

Now that things had come to this, Lu Xiao didn't care about opening champagne at the halfway point.

Let's get hyped!

This is the difference between La Liga clubs and Bundesliga clubs.

Everyone felt extremely relaxed.

Compared to the rhythm of German streets where doors are tightly shut after dark and there is virtually no nightlife,

Spain's nightlife is almost on par with China's.

They naturally like to procrastinate, so it's normal for the small restaurants and bars by the river to be open after 10 p.m.

After defeating Athletic Bilbao,

A group of young people from Madrid found a paella restaurant in the area.

Sitting by the river, drinking beer and chatting, is a wonderful experience.

"Lu, don't hold back against your old club in the Champions League in a few days."

"That's right, we're all counting on you."

"Leverkusen's starting lineup has been completely dismantled, and you're still worried?"

"Of course, it's all because of you."

Torres was flushed from drinking.

The memory of being eliminated by Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16 last season remains a mental block for Atlético Madrid players.

It's simply unacceptable for a team competing as the defending champions to lose to a newly promoted Bundesliga team.

Unfortunately, Bayer Leverkusen has proven to be a true dark horse in European competitions for two consecutive years, continuing their winning streak.

It left a very deep impression on all of Europe.

Although the team has dispersed,

Bayer Leverkusen's lingering influence still lingers across the European continent.

Thinking of Leverkusen,

Lu Xiao couldn't help but think of that exquisitely beautiful girl, like a Barbie doll.

"I wonder how she is?"

Before leaving Leverkusen

Chloe is preparing for her important Abitur graduation exam.

During that time, Lu Xiao was busy shooting still photos of male models.

Busy signing Atletico Madrid

The two didn't even have a chance to meet before they were separated by distance.

Just then, my phone rang.

【What are you doing?】

Although Lu Xiao had no romantic experience, he had a fairly rich theoretical knowledge.

There's only one meaning behind a girl sending this message.

"I miss you."

Having just drunk half a can of beer, Lu Xiao didn't care much and threw the question at her directly to see how she would catch it.

I miss you too.

I miss you too.

But then, on the other side, "typing..." kept appearing above their heads.

Typing...

Lu Xiao could even picture Chloe's little expressions.

They must have spent ages agonizing over how to reply.

After waiting for a long time,

Lu Xiao couldn't help but get up and go to the riverbank, looking at the moon reflected on the water.

He made a video call directly on WhatsApp.

Leverkusen, Schlebusch district.

In the living room of a villa,

Suddenly, Chloe cried out in surprise, "Ah!"

"Chloe, what's wrong?" Oliver House was on the phone with the school administration.

Hearing his daughter's commotion, he looked over.

"No...it's nothing."

Chloe's heart pounded; she hurried upstairs, ran back to her room, and locked the door.

I took several deep breaths before answering the video call.

Lu Xiao waited for a long time.

Just a second before hanging up, I suddenly saw Chloe's exquisitely beautiful face.

"Are you asleep? Did I wake you up?"

"No, no. Are you outside?"

"Yes, I went out to have some fun with my teammates after the game."

"I watched the game just now, you played fantastic!"

"You watch La Liga too?"

Previously, Klaus only watched Bayer Leverkusen matches.

I didn't really know which teams were in La Liga and the Premier League, so I never expected to actually watch La Liga.

"Because...because you're here..."

Chloe said this as if she wanted to bury herself in her pillow.

Her shy expression stirred Lu Xiao's heart.

I really want to teleport in front of the girl.

"By the way, are you coming back in a few days? I've already bought the tickets. You know how hard it is to get Champions League tickets these days?"

I managed to get a ticket through my father's connections.

"How about we meet up after the competition?"

"Okay, okay."

Even with no experience, Lu Xiao could sense the emotions between the two.

Chloe had said she would be studying in Germany, and Oliver House had already used his connections to write her a letter of recommendation.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will most likely go to the University of Munich.

I will be staying in Madrid for a long time for the next two years.

Long-distance relationships are difficult to maintain.

Lu Xiao has seen too many long-distance relationships at Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid, and the results haven't been good.

Sometimes when watching TV, the male and female leads can't seem to confess their feelings, and the audience gets really anxious.

How could I not be able to say something so simple?

But when it's your turn to experience it firsthand,

It's definitely not that easy.

After a brief silence, Lu Xiao switched to the rear camera, where the night and the moon's reflection in the water created a rather beautiful oil painting.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful."

"Right? I'll bring you sometime, Chloe..."

"Um?"

"The moonlight is beautiful... My teammates are calling me, I'll talk to you later, you should get some rest, goodnight."

Anyway, this is a romance unique to the East.

A German girl probably wouldn't understand.

Lu Xiao hurriedly hung up the video and returned to his teammates, but did not notice Chloe's slightly surprised expression.

Boom!Boom!

On the bedroom balcony, Chloe leaned against the railing, lost in thought.

Her mind was filled with Lu Xiao's words from earlier.

"Der Mondschein heute Abend ist toll."

The German meaning is very straightforward; it simply says that the moon is beautiful.

However, Chloe has been influenced by anime and manga culture for a long time.

How could I not know the meaning of this sentence?

"Could it be... that he...?"

Thinking of this, the girl's heart beat even faster.

Feeling completely disoriented, I went back to bed and tossed and turned.

"What should I do? I'm going to see him in a few days."

Lu Xiao was exhausted after a long day of competition.

How could she have known, while soundly asleep back at the hotel,

A young girl in Germany couldn't sleep all night because of a casual remark he made.

……

Atletico Madrid's Champions League squad announced! Lu Xiao, Griezmann, and Torres lead the charge!

Will Lu Xiao start against his former club? Bayer Leverkusen coach: Welcome Lu home, we will give it our all.

Bayer Leverkusen fans miss Lu Xiao: It's a pity to see Lu Xiao on the opposing team; he will always be Bayer's hero.

The days of preparation and training went by quickly.

It feels like just yesterday that we played the last La Liga match.

Lu Xiao has already flown to Cologne with the entire Atletico Madrid team.

He is about to step onto the field he knows best.
