"Who knows, life is much more bizarre than novels." When Li Yan said this, he would never have thought of the unexpected development of everything that followed.

※※※

Eralia is making breakfast for Inzaji in the kitchen. She is in a good mood today. She has to go to the station to do a show, and Pipo can accompany her in the morning.

She heard Yingzaji walk in, and then walked behind her before stopping. Then she saw Pibo reaching out his hand and turning off the fire of the induction cooker without saying a word.

"Stop making trouble..." Eralia reached out to Rainzaji, but was grabbed by him with one hand. Then with force, he turned Eralia over.

"What are you doing, Pipo..." Eralia was very surprised. She found that Yingzaji's eyes were wrong. That was definitely not the usual joking look, "What's wrong with you?"

Inzagi grabbed Eralia's hand, held it to her chest, and looked at her. "Didn't you stayed in Milan to work last Sunday?"

"Yes...yes." Eralia was a little surprised. She didn't understand why Yingzaji suddenly asked her this question.

Inzaghi raised the newspaper in his hand and put it in front of Eralia: "Then can you explain to me what's going on? Miss Damiko."

Looking at the photo of Zhang Jun's forehead lightly tapping with his hands, Elaria took a breath of air conditioning.

※※※

Yang Pan finally wiped the splashed milk clean and stopped coughing. Then he saw Zhang Jun sitting weakly in a chair, and newspapers torn in half were scattered all over the floor.

"Hey, Zhang Jun... don't take it to heart. Those are all blinded by reporters. Such blurry photos are obviously made up with Photoshop. There will be competitions in the afternoon, so don't..."

"No... it's true, I'm really going on a date with Elaria..."

Looking at Zhang Jun's lifeless face, Yang Pan couldn't help but shudder.

※※※

When Li Yan saw this report, his first reaction was "It's over!" Zhang Jun still had a game in the afternoon. Now Zhang Jun was in a bad mood. He finally had a starting opportunity to prove himself, but at this critical moment, the media stabbed him in the back. How could he still feel at ease with the game itself?

Li Yan was right. In AC Milan's home game against Brescia, Zhang Jun, who started the game, was almost sleepwalking and could not find his form at all.

He played for 70 minutes, until he was replaced by Yang Pan. He had only one shot, one pass, and ten steals!

This data set the lowest record in Zhang Jun's career.

Almost no one believed this set of numbers. At that time, a Chinese reporter howled in the press room. Italy's statistical agency miscalculated the target. "They must have been counted as warm-up players on the sidelines!"

“A failed performance!”

"The condition is sluggish, and Zhang Jun is getting further and further away from the main force."

"With internal and external difficulties, Zhang Jun is no longer brave!"

"Maybe we should let Zhang Jun go down from the altar."

...

Looking at the news headlines of these domestic traditional media and online media, everyone felt the seriousness of the matter.

※※※

Just when Zhang Jun was sleepwalking in San Siro, rumors about him and Ilaria Damiko had spread throughout Italy. The Italian media spared no effort to pay attention to this incident, not because of the male protagonist of this incident. Only the Chinese media would make great efforts to report it. What made the Italians crazy is the heroine, Ilaria Damiko, one of the three Italian football godmothers, the gold medal host of Italy Sky TV, synonymous with sexy, Philip Inzaghi's lover. These multiple identities make this incident look particularly interesting and excited many bored people because they finally found the topic after eating and drinking. People even talked about how many rounds Zhang Jun would fight with the sexy beauty Eralia on the bed that day.

In front of the media, when Inzaji and Ilaria always appear together, they will definitely be in a two-way match. They prove to the world that their relationship is very harmonious and has not been affected by this scandal.

But most people know that on the day when I learned about this, Inzaji and Ilaria must have had a big fight. Because when many people watched the league live broadcast of Sky TV, they obviously felt that Ilaria Dami Kobe, who was hosting the show, was usually a little haggard, and this haggardness could not be made up for even wearing makeup. And they often ran around the show and were absent-minded.

On the night of the game, Zhang Jun secretly called Eralia alone and apologized to her. Because he knew that she and Yingzaji were a couple, he didn't want to bother them.

Ilaria was even more troubled by this. She didn't want to point out these things, because for a person who trusted her, one day she suddenly found that her previous contacts were just to get more valuable news. What would this simple person think? The blow would probably be even bigger, right? Based on this psychology, Ilaria could only pretend to smile at Zhang Junqiang after just quarreling with Yingzaji: "Don't blame yourself, Zhang. I took the initiative to ask you out and kick your ball well. This matter has nothing to do with you. I watched that game and you performed too badly. This won't work if you continue like this..."

After making the call, Elaria turned around and saw Yingzaji standing at the door, with her hands wrapped around her chest, looking at her coldly: "Who are you calling again?"

"With Zhang Jun." Elaria replied simply.

Inzaji raised his eyebrows, and he didn't expect Eralia to admit it so simply. "Okay, have you discussed where to go for a date tomorrow?" His tone was cold and sounded very hurtful.

Elaria felt weak all over. She had explained it countless times, but no matter what, Pipo just refused to believe it.

This time, the same was true. When she saw her about to speak, Yingzaji asked her to shut up in advance: "Do you want to say that it's all interview tasks? Do you think I'll believe this? Miss Damiko, don't always use jobs as an excuse?"

Eralia is really wronged, but she will also take time to think about how she discovered it by her colleagues in the journalists?

※※※

In recent days, Sophie has been busy packing things, so she will soon leave for Beijing. Of course, before leaving, she will not be able to escape by treating her colleagues to dinner.

It was almost midnight, and I had been busy all night. Looking at the room that was gradually becoming empty, my luggage was packed and piled up in a corner. Sophie sat on the wooden floor and picked up today's newspaper. The front page was Zhang Jun again, but this time it was not good news.

It turned out to be a scandal, a scandal about Zhang Jun. When Zeng Yi handed her the newspaper, she was a little surprised to see the eye-catching title.

But it was just "a little surprised".

Zeng Yi was surprised by her reaction at that time and asked her: "Looking at your expression, are you not worried at all?"

Sophie shook her head: "Why should I worry, Brother Zeng? I have known him for seven years. I can trust each other without reservation for such a long time. I believe Zhang Jun. Recently, many media have been very excited and it is not ruled out that this was made up on purpose." She smiled at Zeng Yi and thanked him for his concern.

Now she looks at Zhang Jun in the photo in a daze.

Tell me, Zhang Jun, is this true? You should have just had a meal together, right?

The ringtone of the cell phone that suddenly remembered her was startled. For a few seconds, Sophie just stared at the cell phone in front of her, but did not answer. The ringtone of the forty chords echoed a lot in the empty room, which sounded particularly harsh.

This was called by Zhang Jun.

※※※

Zhang Jun, who had just called Eralia, hurriedly called Sophie's cell phone. Now, no bad performance, incredibly low statistics, messy news reports and interpersonal relationships, is important. He just wants to explain to Sophie and ask for her forgiveness. As long as Sophie can avoid misunderstandings and make him pay any price.

He counted the number of rings in his mind, and the phone was only answered when the ringing rang for the fifth time.

※※※

Sophie rushed to answer the phone. Although Zhang Jun had not said a word to her yet, she already knew what Zhang Jun would say to her. The fool would definitely rush to say sorry first, and would repeat it more than three times, if the date was true...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sophie!" As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Zhang Jun shouting on the other side of the phone. "I want to explain to you that I did go on a date with her that day, but we just had a meal together and chatted casually, and did nothing else. All I said was true, you have to believe me, Sophie!"

Zhang Jun kept saying it directly, and Sophie didn't intend to interrupt him, asking him to finish everything he wanted to say.

It seems that this date is true. So should we trust the media or Zhang Jun?

Is this still necessary to ask?

After Zhang Jun mustered up the courage to say it all, he quietly waited for Sophie's punishment. He really regretted it now. How could he agree to Eralia's date invitation? At that time, why didn't he expect someone to take a secret photo, which would definitely bring great trouble to their respective relationships.

But is it useless to regret it now?

"Why do you say sorry to me, Zhang Jun?" Sophie said to Zhang Jun in the most ordinary tone. She was afraid that a slight hesitation in her tone would make Zhang Jun think randomly, "Has you ever done something that I'm sorry for me?"

"I'm going on a date with her..."

"That was just an ordinary meeting. You just had a meal together, didn't you?"

"yes……"

"I love you very much, Zhang Jun. But I can't tie you up, and I can't refuse you to contact other opposite sex just because you are my boyfriend. Love is not selfish, love is trust, tolerance, understanding, and honesty. I believe you didn't lie to me, and I understand your situation. So, do you think I have any reason to blame you, Zhang Jun?"

Zhang Jun was stunned. He didn't expect Sophie to say such words. Love is trust, tolerance, understanding and honesty. Sophie was right, and before he knew it, his uneasy heart had calmed down.

Why can Sophie have such magic? Just a few words can make his anxious mood relax and improve recently. Zhang Jun doesn’t want to go into it now. Now he just wants to cherish every minute and every second and listen to Sophie’s soft words.

"Thank you, Sophie..."

※※※

After hanging up the phone, Sophie sat on the ground and stretched comfortably. The stone in her heart finally landed on the ground, and her mood suddenly improved a lot.

She looked at her luggage that was almost packed again, and her original feeling of separation had become a longing for the future. Zhang Jun started a new life from Warrendam, the Netherlands to Milan, Italy. She will also start another new life from Chengdu, Sichuan to Beijing, the capital.

Life always goes from here to there, and since she chose photography, she always has to get used to this wandering life.

Zhang Jun has been drifting outside for three years, and he has just started.

Come on, Zhang Jun, Sophie, too!

※※※

Although he had communicated with Sophie, this did not mean that Zhang Jun's trouble was over. Due to the "scandal" with Eralia, his situation in Milan was not very good. In Zaji wouldn't say it anymore, basically he was "the enemy met and was very jealous". Many other players also believed that Zhang Jun was a shameful third party who destroyed others' happiness and despised him in his heart.

Kaka and Yang Pan naturally believed in Zhang Jun, but what could they do? Zhang Jun didn't want to make the two friends embarrassed.

In such an environment, can you still expect him to play football with peace of mind?

He never recovered his lost form in the game against Brescia. The fact is that, in the first game after the "scandal", he was the substitute for Inzaghi. He did not even have a shot count in less than 20 minutes, and his performance was terrible. In the second game, Ancelotti simply did not take Zhang Jun to the away game. This time no one doubted the head coach's decision, including those Chinese reporters. Because it is obvious that Zhang Jun is not in the form recently. What's more unfortunate is that in this game, Inzaghi and Boreno, who came on the bench, both scored goals. Among the four authentic forwards, three of his competitors were unanimously in good condition when he was in a sluggish state.

This almost forced Zhang Jun to a dead end. If he could not prove himself, his future might be ruined in Milan. But Ancelotti didn't like Zhang Jun and did not intend to give him a chance.

In the third game, Zhang Jun was still watching other people's performances in the stands. This time, Inzaghi did not score, and Shepchenko did not score either. But Boreno, who came on the bench, actually scored two goals in just twenty minutes!

Looking at Boreno's smiling face, Zhang Jun felt that the severe winter in Milan had arrived.
