Chapter 31: Behind the Arrogance (Second Update, Guaranteed)
In front of his home, Chen Yingxiong was surrounded by the media.
Of course, what they are most concerned about is - "Where have you been these days? Chen Yingxiong!"
"They said you went on a trip. Where was it?"
Chen Yingxiong refused to answer all these questions. He just signaled everyone to quiet down, and then said to the camera: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm... back again!!" He raised his hands as if to declare victory and celebrate progress. Ball like that.
After saying that, he left a large group of reporters who were stunned and unresponsive, turned around and dodged into the house, and then closed the door forcefully!
Throwing everything on him to the ground, he burst out laughing.
Early in the morning, he climbed out of the backyard fence and walked around in a circle, just to make it look like he was traveling. He didn't want everyone to know that during the Christmas holiday, he had been hiding in the house doing dungeon upgrades.
This is his secret and no one will know it.
So he was really living a "dark" life these days. Even though he was at home, he didn't even dare to turn on the lights. The air conditioner? As soon as that thing is turned on, there is a sound from the compressor outside, so naturally it is not dared to be turned on. Fortunately, the winter in Naples is a typical Mediterranean climate. It is mild and rainy in winter, not too cold. Even if he does not turn on the air conditioner, he will not be shivering from the cold.
But this unkempt appearance is really not a result of his deliberate makeup, but a true reflection of his life these days.
His daily schedule is as follows - after waking up in the morning, having breakfast, he enters the dungeon for warm-up and physical training, and then starts technical training. I exited the dungeon at noon and filled my stomach with something to eat. After taking a short rest, I entered the dungeon and started training in the afternoon. Exit the dungeon during dinner, rest for an hour after dinner, and then enter the dungeon to work hard.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, exit the dungeon, take a shower, wash off the stinky sweat, throw the dirty clothes in the bathroom and forget about it. Go straight to bed.
After opening your eyes the next morning, repeat the previous day's content.
The purpose is to seize the time, clear more copies, upgrade a few more levels, and try to improve your technical and tactical abilities.
From December 22, 2008, to January 1, 2009, for eleven days, he frantically refreshed copies at home. If Dracula saw his desperate efforts, he would be so frightened that he would order him not to do this, because this is really a great challenge to his physical functions.
Not to mention that in the last two days, Chen Yingxiong was so eager to upgrade that he stayed up all night to play hard in the dungeon. He can still go out and act with reporters like this. I really can only admire his super physical fitness. If it had been anyone else, he would have ruined himself long ago and retired directly...
After playing the dungeon with such intensity for eleven days, even Chen Yingxiong, who was as strong as a bear, was completely exhausted. After performing in front of reporters, he could no longer hold on. Laughing loudly, his legs softened, and he slid along the door and sat down. He sat on the floor, leaned behind the door, tilted his head... and fell asleep just like that.
His mouth was still open in a laughing posture, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, hanging in a straight line, and dripped to the floor, where it gradually formed a puddle.
Everyone said that Chen Yingxiong was arrogant and annoying. But they will never know the price this big man paid behind his unscrupulous arrogance...

Although Arshavin is currently the most famous star in the Naples team, he does not have an exclusive joining ceremony like Chen Yingxiong. After all, he joined during the winter break. Under the current situation of the team, they have to keep everything simple.
The club only arranged a press conference for him, and there was no fan meeting. But outside the press conference venue, there were already some Naples fans wearing No. 23 jerseys with Arshavin's name on them, holding posters and pictures of him outside to welcome him. With his outstanding performance in the European Cup, Arshavin has a high popularity in Naples.
The treatment is completely different from that of Chen Yingxiong, the "enemy of the whole people"...
At the press conference, Arshavin also appeared very cautious. On all issues related to Maradona, he chose to speak in the words that Naples fans liked and would never imitate his best friend Chen Yingxiong.
The press conference was a great success.
The comments about Arshavin in the newspapers, TV and radio the next day were all very positive. It is conceivable that regardless of his performance on the court, at least he has gained a good reputation among the fans and public opinion. A relatively relaxed environment.
It's much better than Chen Yingxiong's dangerous situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides... Compared with the hard-working Chen Yingxiong, he is as happy as a flower in a greenhouse.
In the evening, he received a call from Chen Yingxiong: "I'm sorry, Shava, I just returned to Naples. You are finally here! I'll treat you to dinner!"
Arshavin smiled: "You were so busy before, but you still knew where to find delicious food?"
Chen Yingxiong coughed: "I still know about serious places like restaurants!"
"Hey, why are you flustered? I didn't ask you about the inappropriate place." Arshavin smiled happily.
Chen Yingxiong also laughed.
When old friends meet, no matter how many worries they have, they are thrown aside. Chen Yingxiong is in a good mood now.
He slept all day today. When he woke up in the middle of the day, he found that he was lying on the floor with a pool of cold saliva under his face. Then he didn't know how he crawled back to the bed in the bedroom. Anyway, when he woke up, he found himself on the bed in the bedroom. This whole day's sleep made up for his sleep and restored his strength and energy. After getting up, he washed up, took a shower, and called Arshavin.

When Arshavin saw the disguised Chen Yingxiong and his beautiful bodyguard, he smiled: "When I was in Zenit, I always heard the leader say that life in Italy was very corrupt, and even there were beautiful bodyguards. , the level of luxury in life is comparable to that of Gaddafi, I didn’t expect it to be true.”
Chen Yingxiong glared: "The leader is talking nonsense, I curse him to never do anything!"
Arshavin laughed.
"I thought you were going to take me to the Margarita Kao Restaurant." Arshavin looked around. This was a very ordinary restaurant with ordinary decoration and appearance.
"Do you know that place?" Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised.
"Well, someone told me that it is a restaurant that Naples players often go to. It is very famous in the local area..." He said and suddenly saw Chen Yingxiong's face, "What? You haven't been there?"
"I really want to go. I heard that the food there is very unique and delicious. But this guy won't let me go." Chen Yingxiong pointed to the bodyguard Christine Cabrera sitting next to him. It stands to reason that bodyguards must stand when their employer is eating, but Chen Yingxiong didn't say that, and it was too conspicuous. If you want to be safe, wouldn't it be better to keep a low profile? So when Cabrera and Chen Yingxiong went out together, the two of them pretended to be... lovers - of course, this was the shameless suggestion of Chen Yingxiong.
"That's where die-hard Napoli fans like to go," Cabrera explained.
Arshavin laughed. Of course, he has heard about the grievances between Chen Yingxiong and the Naples fans. "What a pity, next time I will go alone -" He did not forget to tease his friend.
Chen Yingxiong made a sound of disdain. “The taste of this store is also very good, I like it very much!”
"Then you are not afraid of this store..."
"The owner of this store is not a Naples fan, he is a North African immigrant." Chen Yingxiong explained.
Arshavin suddenly understood.
The topic of the two people's chat always revolved around the relationship between Chen Yingxiong and the fans.
"I originally thought that this situation would get better after you started scoring goals, but I didn't expect..." Arshavin sighed.
Until now, whenever Chen Yingxiong gets the ball, harsh boos will be heard at home.
There is no weakening trend at all because of Chen Yingxiong's continuous goals. So far, Chen Yingxiong has scored six goals in half a season, which is not a bad result.
Chen Yingxiong laughed: "This is no longer a question of whether to score or not."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I said, let their boos turn into cheers and worship for me." Chen Yingxiong said with his head held high.
"Is this... possible?" Arshavin found it very difficult. He has seen how serious the fans' paranoia can be.
"Don't worry about him! Let's do it anyway!" Chen Yingxiong shook his head. He didn't care about the attitude of these fans towards him. It's simple, as long as he can continue to score goals, he doesn't believe that the fans can continue to boo. Otherwise, every time he scores a goal, he will be slapping them in the face. Then you will see how swollen these people's faces will be...
Arshavin smiled bitterly and shook his head. He is already completely familiar with Chen Yingxiong. With this personality, he always seems to like to cause trouble for himself. This was the case at Zenit, and he has no intention of restraining himself when he comes to Naples.
This kind of character...it's impossible not to suffer. I don’t know if the experience during this period was a hardship for him. But judging from his reaction, it seems that he took this as a challenge?
Just like the challenge of locking the league's top scorer in the eleventh round of the league...
Arshavin would never be able to do such a thing. He is not a masochistic person.
But...sometimes he also envies Chen Yingxiong, because he can do whatever he wants without anyone saying anything to him, because that's the impression he gives people.
What about yourself? But it is bound by too many rules and regulations. He really wanted to make a big fuss like Chen Yingxiong without restraint - of course, it was okay to do it only occasionally. If he lived in a life like Chen Yingxiong's every day, he would probably not be able to stand it.
Think about it, when he plays at his home court, he hears huge boos every time he touches the ball, which is completely directed at him. He can't even go to those famous restaurants to eat, and he has to bring his clothes with him when he goes out for training. With a bodyguard. Regardless of whether he scored or not, the fans and the media were scolded... Living under such pressure, maybe only people with super strong hearts like Chen Yingxiong can do it, right?
As a friend, what can you do for him?
He picked up the glass: "Okay. Now that I'm here, the days when no one passes the ball to you are over!"
