Chapter 20 School Farewell

When Zhou Yi followed his father home with an uneasy heart along the way, when he opened the door, he was greeted with a table of steaming and delicious dishes, his favorite dishes.

And his mother was still serving food from the kitchen to the table.

It has been a month since he went to Beijing to participate in the audition finals, and Zhou Yi saw his mother for the first time.

It was no different from what he saw when he opened the door every day when he came home from school.

The only difference is the amount of food served on the table.

"Mom." Zhou Yi couldn't help calling out.

"Are you back?" Mom didn't look up, and carefully placed the big bowl full of soup in the only space on the table. "Wash your hands and eat."

Even the words he said were the same as usual after school.

If it weren't for the changes in his heart and brain, Zhou Yi would definitely think that he just came home from school today.

But because of those changes, Zhou Yi felt a little awkward and complicated seeing his mother now.

Because he is very clear about what his mother expects of him, but he has already made up his mind, which means that he has to live up to his mother's expectations for him.

This made Zhou Yi dare not look directly into her eyes when he saw his mother.

But mother Li Cuiyun didn't seem to see the embarrassment and hesitation on her son's face, and turned to get the dishes in the kitchen.

Before turning around, she didn't forget to say to her husband, "Go and wash your hands too."

During the meal, Zhou Yi hesitated for a long time, whether to tell his mother his decision. But in the end he still didn’t say it. At the dinner table, he chatted about the training and life in the training camp, and the new friends he met, including He Ying and Guo Nu—although they may not have agreed yet, Zhou Yi has already Count them as your friends.

He met a lot of people in the training camp, but these four may be the real "friends".

Zhouyi was talking, and my mother listened with a smile on her face, and picked up chopsticks for her son from time to time.

Zhou Yi talked with joy and enthusiasm, but it was actually because he didn't want his mother to interrupt and ask him how he planned to do this kind of question in the future.

The meal looked happy on the surface, but no one knew what was inside.

In fact, Zhou Yi has been waiting for his mother to ask him what he will do after the reality show is over. Or ask him about the fact that he has to delay his studies for two months because of the reality show.

But until Zhou Yi went to bed, he didn't wait for his mother's question.

Lying on the bed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but a little melancholy, Zhou Yi entered the virtual system world.

Now that he has made a decision in his heart, no matter how others oppose him, he must persist in walking. Now the first thing is to train, improve your own strength, and prepare for the future that will come later.

If the opportunity comes, but because I don't have the ability to seize it, then I am afraid that the passionate and inspirational drama will become a black humorous drama...

※※※

The next morning, when Zhou Yi logged out from the system, it was already dawn.

Today is September 1st, Monday, the first day of school.

This is the day when most students wrap up their summer vacation and pack their schoolbags to go to school.

Of course, for the students who will soon be in the third year of high school, this day does not have any special meaning, because before this day, they have been in school for almost a month.

But in Zhou Yi's mind, this may be the last week of his middle school time in his life - since he has decided to become a professional player, he has no plan to go back to school.

He wants to use this opportunity to go to Europe to find a place for himself in professional football.

It would be even better if I could stand on the balcony on the day before I left, press the window frame with my hand, and shout into the distance: "I won't come back if I don't get along—!"

It's a pity that their house is on the first floor, and there is no balcony for him to pretend to be.

After breakfast, Zhou Yi put on his schoolbag and went to school. His father had to go to the company to ask for a leave first, and then come to the school to find him and ask the school for leave with him.

After all, in the eyes of teachers, what parents say is more trustworthy than what children say. In addition, they also obtained a certificate specially issued by the program group.

It proves that Zhou Yi is indeed a member of this reality show, and he really wants to go to Europe with the team for two months.

The gate of Qingyang No. 1 High School on the first day of school is the busiest time, and the cars to send the children are parked all over the streets and roadsides near the school. Bicycles and cars are mixed together, causing serious traffic congestion, even if there is traffic police to clear it, it doesn't help much.

From a distance of 300 meters from the school gate, Zhou Yi began to meet his classmates, some in the same class, and some not in the same class, and those who were not in the same class basically knew each other through playing football.

"Zhouyi! Where did you go during the summer vacation, kid? We played games with others, but we couldn't find you, and we lost. Do you know that!"

"This can't be done, it's a bit troublesome to have 'Zhouyi Dependency Syndrome'!" Zhou Yi replied triumphantly with his head held high.

"Zhou Yi, have you finished your summer homework? Let me copy it..."

"Say it earlier, you have to wait for the number, and now there are eleven people waiting in front of you."

"Damn, so many! It's over, it's over..."

"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, do you think Manchester City is stupid? Buy a Ruo for 24 million! Who is that! The name is very weak!"

"Zhou Yi..."

Zhou Yi greeted people all the way and came to his classroom. In the classroom, everyone gathered together in twos and threes, chatting about various topics of this holiday. I haven't seen each other for two months, and the students still miss each other. .

As soon as Zhou Yi entered the classroom, many boys gathered around him: "Zhou Yi, I heard that you are seriously ill at home and have been bedridden for a month! Is it true?"

As a senior high school student, the last month of summer vacation is the season for make-up classes. Although the country has repeated orders and repeated applications, schools are not allowed to make up classes, but there are always policies and countermeasures.

But when everyone was struggling to go to school to make up lessons, Zhou Yi's seat was always empty.

Naturally, the teacher wouldn't explain to the students why Zhou Yi didn't come to make up the class. Everyone could only guess, guessing with envy and jealousy-this kid must be sick!

"Damn! Who made my rumor!" Zhou Yi said angrily.

"Then why didn't you come to make up lessons? We all came, but you didn't come alone. Do you think you are sick?"

"Something's wrong! I'm going to the devil's special training!" Zhou Yi snorted and said triumphantly.

"Tch!" No one believed it. Zhou Yi spoke in a wild way, even if he was joking with you, he would be serious and make you believe it. In the beginning, when we were classmates in high school, we were often teased by him when we didn't know him well. Later, everyone knew him very well, and knew that what he said could not be believed.

"I really went to special training!" Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Zhou Yi had no choice but to explain. "You know that football reality show, 'Superstar Successor'?"

Someone nodded: "I've seen advertisements and news on TV, and what kind of national audition is going on...Why did you sign up?"

"Myself." Zhou Yi pointed at himself with his thumb, raised his head and exhaled from his nostrils, "National sea election finals... the first place!"

"Damn it! Then you can go to Europe?!" some students who are familiar with the rules exclaimed.

Zhou Yi smiled and said nothing. At this time, smiling but not speaking is the best way to pretend. If you say a word more, you will look LOW.

Sure enough, the students around looked at Zhou Yi differently - envy and jealousy. It is even more enviable than Zhouyi not coming to make up lessons.

"So this summer vacation, I spent it in the training base in Beijing. I trained with fifteen other best 17-year-old players in the country. Haven't you noticed that I am dark, strong and tall?"

"It's dark, but the other two didn't see it." Everyone shook their heads.

"Tch, what eyes!" Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.

"I heard that this reality show is going to Europe for two months, then you..."

"So I'm going to ask for leave. I'll leave after this week." Speaking of leaving, Zhou Yi's complacent tone suddenly became low.

The students didn't notice this change in his mood, but instead focused on the matter of "going to Europe".

China has been reforming and opening up for so many years, and traveling abroad is no longer a big deal. Southeast Asian countries are almost becoming the back garden of the Chinese people, and Europe, the United States, and Australia are not out of reach.

But traveling to Europe and playing football in Europe are completely different things.

In the eyes of fans and students, going to Europe to play football and compete with those European giants they can only watch on TV, such a thing... For an ordinary middle school student, it is like going from Earth to Mars.

"Wow, can you bring me some autographs? I want Messi and Ibrahimovic!!"

"I want Ronaldo's!"

"Raul! San Cassie! Roberto Carlos!!"

"Little pig! The little pig is mine!"

...

A group of people almost fell on Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi naturally agreed to all of them, without considering whether it was really possible. At this time, everyone is desperately praising him, how can they be persuaded?

Everyone was also very happy, and they all said that Brother Yi is awesome, and Brother Yi exploded.

Just when Zhou Yi was enjoying everyone's compliments and flattery, he didn't notice that on the other side of the classroom, there was a girl with black-rimmed glasses and combed eyebrows and bangs looking at him.

The eyes are happy but sad.

The joy is that he has finally realized his dream, but the sadness is that he will not be seen for two months.

※※※

At the opening ceremony, Zhou Yi and his classmates stood on the school playground with artificial turf. All the students in the third grade of high school were here. The old principal stood on the flag raising platform and gave a speech to everyone. Encourage students to study hard in the new school year, to make progress every day, to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and in an all-round way, and to study for the rise of China. He also specially encouraged the third-year students to study hard in the cold window for twelve years, and don't lose the chain in this last year.

The students in the audience were not very interested in the previous dean Wang Shunquan's speech. Some people lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones, some whispered to each other to discuss whether there are any beautiful girls among the freshmen in this period, and some people read with books.

However, when the principal Lin Xianrong came to the stage, the order in the audience was obviously much better.

Everyone put down their respective affairs, looked up and listened attentively to the old principal's speech.

Especially those high school seniors.

Because this was the last time they participated in the opening ceremony with Mr. Lin present.

But Zhou Yi was distracted.

He raised his head slightly, looked past the old principal and the flag pole behind him, and looked into the distance, where there was a four-story teaching building.

On the easternmost side of the corridor on the second floor, next to the stairs is the classroom of his class. From the first year of high school to the second year of high school, the place has not changed. If Zhou Yi can continue to study in this school, then he will also be there in the third year of high school. this classroom.

Attending class, distracted, sleeping, self-study, reading novels, taking exams here... and finally step by step towards the college entrance examination.

Of course, there may be one or several paragraphs of love stories that will remind him of the song and tears in the future——

Zhou Yi's eyes fell back, and suddenly he saw two eyes on his left that seemed to be looking at him, so he turned his head to look. It turned out to be Zheng Lulu. When he turned his head to look over, Zheng Lulu suddenly turned his head to the other side.

However, the reflection from the lens of her glasses blocked her eyes, so Zhou Yi didn't see Zheng Lulu's eyes, not sure if she was looking at her.

Maybe it's my own overthinking.

Zhou Yi thought so, and turned his eyes away.

—Of course there might not be.

※※※

After the opening ceremony, Zhou Yi went directly to the head teacher's office to meet his father.

Then ask the head teacher for two months leave.

It stands to reason that with the certificate issued by the program team and the guarantee from the parents, it is not difficult to ask for a two-month leave.

But Zhou Yi's class teacher is very worried that Zhou Yi will go to Europe to play two moons in such a critical senior year of high school.

In her opinion, this is simply child's play, nonsense.

Is it important to play football or the college entrance examination?

After listening to the reasons for asking for leave, she didn't immediately give an answer of yes or no, but looked at Zhou Yi's father Zhou Jianliang with reproachful eyes.

In her opinion, the child Zhou Yi is messing around, will you, a father, follow suit?

Facing the accusing eyes of the teacher in charge, Zhou Jianliang didn't say anything, just smiled.

For such parents who "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water", the homeroom teacher has nothing to do, so she turned her head to look at Zhou Yi again, and said to him: "The college entrance examination is coming soon. Do you know what it means if it is delayed by two months, Zhou Yi?" ?”

"I know, Teacher Zhai. But the third year of high school is mainly about reviewing. Don't worry, I will review my homework in Europe." Zhou Yi lied, his face was not flushed, and he didn't plan to bring anything related to study. Europe.

But the head teacher, Mr. Zhai, still didn't say yes or no, but continued to ask Zhou Yi: "Is playing football really important?"

"It's good to have more life experience, right?" Zhou Yi also didn't directly answer the head teacher's question, he looked at Teacher Zhai and answered.

Teacher Zhai also looked at his students, neither of them said anything, they just looked at each other.

It was rare for a student to look at him like this. Teacher Zhai could see his firm determination from Zhou Yi's swollen eyes.

She knew that no matter what she said today, Zhou Yi would not change her decision.

Even if she is not allowed to leave, she can guess that Zhou Yi would rather play truant to do this thing.

She knew the student, she knew he could do it.

So instead of doing this, it’s better to give him two months off. As for him delaying his studies and failing the college entrance examination... that’s his own business, his parents don’t care, why should he bother so much as a teacher Woolen cloth?

Of course, what the teacher should do is still to be done.

So she nodded: "Okay, I will grant you leave...but!"

Seeing that Zhou Yi was about to cheer, she glared at Zhou Yi and said, "But I will ask the teachers of each subject to give you key points. Even if you go to Europe, don't forget your studies."

"Of course, of course..." Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly, agreeing wholeheartedly. But in fact, he didn't even think he was going to Europe to review his homework.

Seeing that Zhou Yi agreed so happily, in fact, Mr. Zhai could somewhat guess what he was thinking. She sighed: "You are a very smart kid, Zhou Yi, but you just refuse to work hard on your studies. If you can devote half of your energy to studying, it will be no problem to get into a key university." No……"

Facing Teacher Zhai's ardent expectations for him, Zhou Yi only used a dry smile to face it, because he didn't know what to say.

Could it be that "teacher, I don't plan to go to college, I want to play football as a career"?

Then I'm afraid I won't be able to take this leave...

※※※

In this way, Zhou Yi and his father came out of the office together after taking leave.

"Although we are about to leave soon, we must study hard before that." Zhou Jianliang told his son at the school gate.

"I see, Dad, I'm still a student."

Zhou Jianliang smiled: "It's good that you know. I'm leaving, and I have to go to work."

Zhou Yi nodded, watching his father ride the battery car, turn from the school gate onto the non-motorized lane, merge into the trickle of traffic, like countless ordinary laborers, whether for the rise of China or for the happiness of the family, they were The torrent of the times engulfs and rushes forward without stopping.
