The car audio was filled with Coldplay's "Yellow". Looking at the green trees and grass that were quickly retreating outside the window, Zhang Jun and Sophie were silent. Zhang Jun always looked straight ahead of the road, not daring to drive away, while Sophie supported her chin with one hand and turned her head to look out the window.

Originally, they were about to separate, so they should have a lot to say, but now they can't even say a word.

People say that they go out to explore while they are young and see more. Unexpectedly, Sophie was about to go around the world when she was twenty-seven. Zhang Jun felt that she was too tired to tie Sophie. After she graduated from college, she arranged the way she would go for her. After she was about to come to Italy, she immediately took her to Florence and stayed by his side to take care of him. But she never felt Sophie's mood. Sophie was never the kind of girl who planned to rely on. She was very strong, independent, had her own ideas and ideals. But for her own selfish thoughts, Zhang Jun tied Sophie to her for more than two years and did not give her any freedom.

So Zhang Jun would agree to Sophie’s request this time, and he also felt that he had felt a little sorry for Sophie in the past two years, which made her wronged.

"Sophie..."

"Hmm?" Sophie withdrew her gaze from the window and turned her head to look at Zhang Jun.

"Be careful when you go out alone..."

In just a few days, Zhang Jun said this sentence more than ten times a day. Sophie smiled: "You have indeed become verbose, Zhang Jun."

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly. Of course he knew that he had become very long-winded recently, but that was all for Sophie's good. After all, he was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, I'm a good match. Besides, it's all the world of legal system now, not as chaotic as those novels and movies." Sophie comforted, but now she herself didn't expect that she would go to such a dangerous place in Iraq in the future. If Zhang Jun knew about it now, he might not have let Sophie go even if he beat him to death.

When the car parked into the parking lot of Milan Marponsa Airport, there was an hour before boarding. Sophie, who had changed her boarding pass, accompanied by Zhang Jun, to the cafe for a short rest.

Sophie was checking the photography bag she carried with her. The large backpack and suitcase had been checked. She did not carry the GUCCI bag, but a sturdy photography bag with her baby camera, lens, and film. She was dressed up like a hiking photographer, with a vest, jeans, shirt, a sun hat, and a ponytail. She was full of youthful vitality. She couldn't tell that she was a woman who was almost twenty-seven years old.

In Zhang Jun's heart, he always wanted to call Sophie "girl" rather than "woman".

When he heard the radio prompted that the flight Sophie was on board started, Zhang Juncai picked up Sophie's bag and the two walked towards the boarding gate together.

Before the boarding gate, Zhang Juncai handed over the bag to Sophie. This bag was quite heavy, and Sophie had to carry this bag around the world.

"I have to call me every day. If you have the conditions, I will send a letter every Monday. When I arrive at Warren Dam, I will call me to see Uncle Wang and say hello to him on my behalf. When the weather is cold, I will add clothes. If there is danger, don't go to places where there is danger..." Zhang Jun also planned to say that Sophie had already put it on, and then sealed Zhang Jun's chattering mouth with her red lips.

After staying in Italy for a long time, the two of them can now kiss passionately in public, as if no one else was around.

"We are not old yet, you are already like a bad old man." Sophie smiled and left Zhang Jun's arms. "Goodbye, if there were no accidents, I will definitely come back on Christmas. Soon, it's only half a season."

Sophie waved to Zhang Jun who was standing outside at the gate, then turned around, walked forward without looking back, and disappeared into the crowd boarding.

Zhang Jun stood outside the boarding gate until he heard the last time on the radio reminding the flight was about to take off. Then he saw a Boeing passenger plane soaring straight from the runway from the huge landing porthole, and he turned around and left and returned to Florence.

When Zhang Jun returned to Florence, facing the empty home, he was still unresponsive, so he stood in the living room in a daze.

I had dinner together last night, and I fell asleep next to me yesterday. I was still having a favorite person. I was still playing and joking in the living room yesterday, but now I have nothing.

Zhang Jun regretted agreeing to Sophie. He wanted to give wings and chase Sophie back.

Although he had not experienced separation before, at that time, he was in the Netherlands and Sophie was in college. But now he has been together for more than two years, and seeing each other every day has long become a part of his life. Now, he suddenly has one person missing around him, which is really not used to it.

He thought of Xiang Tao again. It was probably the same day when Youyou left. No wonder he was always listless when he was training.

Since he thought of Xiang Tao, Zhang Jun thought that they should finish training at this time - because he was going to give Sophie, Sabato gave him a day off. Zhang Jun took out his cell phone and called Xiang Tao and Kru respectively.

"Everything comes out! I'm a bachelor now! Come out, the three of us bachelors will go for supper together!"

Time flies. When Sophie feels a little bit of autumn, she has been living in Warrendam for more than half a month, and Zhang Jun has played in three rounds of the league. Fiorentina has won two wins and one draw. This start is only average for them, and they have not maintained a complete victory, so the team's ranking is only fourth. Fiorentina in the new season did not grab points as soon as it came up, and Sabato has to consider the overall situation.

Sophie lives in Wang Bo's house, and it is the room where Zhang Jun once lived. Wang Bo specially asked her to live and told her that the furnishings inside were arranged according to Zhang Jun's time and no one had touched them. After cleaning, they had to put the things back in place. Because of Wang Bo's careful care, Sophie could feel the situation when Zhang Jun first arrived in the Netherlands.

In Warrendam for more than half a month, Sophie personally felt how good the people here were. More than four years after Zhang Jun left Warrendam, the people here were always obsessed with it. As long as there was a Fiorentine game, they would definitely watch it. The local newspapers would also publish any news about Zhang Jun in a prominent location. Even if he made an advertisement, he would get the news as soon as possible.

When the fans knew that Sophie was Zhang Jun's fiancée, they were very enthusiastic about her. Some even introduced to her what famous wedding photography attractions Warren Dam had. People often waved to her with newspapers where Zhang Jun scored goals, shouting: "Zhang! Zhang!" Sophie naturally waved to the other party with a smile.

Of course, Sophie came here not to take wedding photos this time. She just wanted to see where Zhang Jun and Yang Pan played football, and recorded the current Warren Dam with her camera, and then took it back to Zhang Jun to see. Since she learned from Zhang Jun's father, what she was best at was not taking simple scenery, but portrait photography. Even if she was shooting scenery, the people in the photos were in a very important position.

The portraits taken by Sophie are often very vivid because she can grasp the deep inner things in the subject through the changes of light and shadow. The photos she took for Zhang Jun are often adopted by many sports media at home and abroad because no one can take Zhang Jun’s most real side except her.

When it was September 20th, Sophie decided to bid farewell to this lovely town.

When she walked out of Wang Bo’s house with a suitcase, backpack, and photography bag, many residents of the town came to see her off.

Sophie nodded and turned around and waved to the others: "Go back, go back!" Then she lowered her head and got into Wang Bo's car. She waved goodbye to the simple people in the town again, and the car slowly drove out of the town.

Looking back at the people standing by the roadside waving, Sophie took back her gaze until she completely disappeared from her sight, then looked ahead and murmured: "Brother Wang, I know why Zhang Jun was so happy in the three years in the Netherlands. You are all good people..."

Wang Bo smiled, "This place is different because of Zhang Jun. He is a big star who has walked out of us. He is our child and our pride."

Sophie remained silent, savoring Wang Bo's words carefully.

"Goooooooooooooooal!!! Gooooooooooooal!!! This is Fiorentina's second goal! They are now leading Lecce 2:1! This is Zhang Jun's fourth goal this season! Four rounds of the league, four goals, he is now tied for the first place in the scorer list with Adriano!"

Zhang Jun hit a single punch and hugged Joaquin, who assisted him. After three rounds of this season, the team ranked first was not AC Milan, nor Juventus, the second-place last season, nor the defending champion Fiorentina, but Inter Milan. They won three games in three games, which is inseparable from Adriano's goals in every game. Zhang Jun obviously felt the pressure from Adriano, who wanted to challenge himself, the best scorer in the league for two consecutive years.

But he couldn't give up easily. Adriano entered one, and he got in one. The two of them bit each other, and no one was willing to relax.

It is a good thing that the striker can score goals, because scoring goals is the guarantee of the team's victory.

Which teams in the top four now do not have an extremely excellent striker? Zhang Jun of Fiorentina, Adriano of Inter Milan, Girardino of AC Milan, and Ibrasimovic of Juventus. If Zhang Jun wants to complete the top scorer's three consecutive championships, he will have to defeat these high-spirited opponents this season.

Currently, he and Adriano both scored four goals, ranking first in the scorer list, while Girardino and Ibrasimovic had three goals and two goals respectively.

Li Yan watched the game at the press conference, and Sophie's departure did not affect Zhang Jun - at least he was not seen in public, competition, and training, which shows that Zhang Jun is completely mature. He can handle his feelings and career separately, and will not let each other affect each other.

In this game, Fiorentina finally defeated Lecce 3-1 away, surpassing Juventus, who lost unexpectedly, and became the third in the league. Inter Milan still maintained a winning streak, ranking first, AC Milan and Fiorentina had the same points, but they had two more goals, ranking second.

※※※

When Sophie sent Zhang Jun a scenic photo back to the harbour from Marseille, France, Fiorentina had already achieved an unbeaten record of five wins and one draw in the league, and successfully surpassed Inter Milan, who lost a game and became the first in the league.

After six rounds of the league, everyone could see that Fiorentina was exerting force, just like a sports car, driving faster and faster. Even in the competition for the scorer list, Zhang Jun now leads everyone with seven goals.

Li Yan was very excited to write in his manuscript: "Fiorentina is in a good state, Zhang Jun is in a good state! Italy is now talking about a topic: Who can stop Fiorentina, who can stop Zhang Jun? Although these six rounds of unbeaten have not yet encountered Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, many people believe that even if they meet the top three in the northern part, Fiorentina will never be at a disadvantage. Sabato once said that he would make all Italian teams tremble in the roar of Fiorentina. At that time, people just thought it was a crazy man's whisper, and now everyone began to feel scared. With a strong agency foundation, a group of excellent players, an excellent coaching team, and fans who support them wholeheartedly, what else can Fiorentina not do?"

When Zhang Jun opened the calendar that day, he realized that in a few days it would be Sophie's birthday. Sophie must not be able to come back, and he would not be able to chase after Spain to celebrate Sophie's birthday. He realized that Sophie had already walked from the Netherlands to Spain. The next step was to hear that she would go to the UK, and then Sweden...

Since she couldn't rush to Sophie to celebrate her birthday, there was only one way to give Sophie the best birthday gift.

When the two called to express their longing for each other in the evening, Zhang Jun also talked about the lively scene when Sophie had just arrived in Florence that year. He invited all his teammates to his home.

"What a pity, we can't spend together this year." Sophie said, forgetting when it started, and Sophie and Zhang Jun's birthdays have been celebrated for one day.

"It's okay, I'll give you a birthday gift."

"What is it?" Sophie was interested in this.

"Hehe, I won't tell you, you'll know then. Oh, by the way, Sophie, can you see the Italian football league broadcast where you live now?"

"Yes. Sky TV's cable network is very developed."

Zhang Jun let out a light breath, "That's good, that's good."

"Hehe, Zhang Jun, although it's a bit too early to say it now, I still want to say to you: Happy birthday!"

"Ah! I originally planned to say it first..."

"Hehe, I'll say it first, I'll say it first!" Sophie smiled happily.

Listening to Sophie's laughter, it seemed as if this cute girl was by his side. "Happy birthday, Sophie." Zhang Jun said softly.

On October 17, in the seventh round of Serie A, Fiorentina defeated Lazio 1:0 away. Zhang Jun did not score. He stopped the record of scoring goals in every round. His stop made many people think that Adriano had a chance to surpass, because Adriano scored twice in this round and tied Zhang Jun's goals.

Adriano also sees this way. He is very satisfied with his own condition this season and the start is very smooth, so he also wants to pull Zhang Jun off the top spot in the scorer list this time.

"Hey, Li, do you say I have a chance to surpass Zhang in the next round?" Adriano asked his friend Li Yongle after the training.

Li Yongle knew how good Adriano was in recent times, so he had thought about this issue seriously in his heart. Zhang Jun is his opponent and he could only defeat him. However, he also knew that there were many ways to defeat him. It would be absolutely impossible to defeat Zhang Jun in terms of goals. So he has been working hard to help Ade surpass Zhang Jun in this regard, which can be regarded as indirectly defeating Zhang Jun.

"Well, Zhang Jun did not score in the last game, and he performed a little tired..." Li Yongle carefully recalled the video of the last round of league he watched, in the match between Fiorentina and Lazio. Although Fiorentina won, it was difficult to win. The commentator mentioned that Zhang Jun was not in the state several times. Although he didn't understand why Zhang Jun was not in the state, this is a fact and also an opportunity for Ad. "I think if you can maintain the momentum of the previous round of league in the next round, then there should be no problem over him. Fiorentina's opponent in the next round is not weak, and Sampdoria, who has restored his true nature to a strong team. Fiorentina and Zhang Jun will both be subject to very strong resistance. He wants to continue scoring, which is not difficult."

Adriano grinned and said, "I knew, haha! I feel like I have endless energy all over my body now!" He proudly put on a special shape to show off his muscles.

To be fair, Adriano's muscles are indeed very good. He is 1.88 meters tall, without any fat on his body, and is full of strength. Even Li Yongle admires this. Adriano is now the chief scorer of the Brazilian national team, and his strength is definitely at the level of a world superstar.

Looking at Ade's look, Li Yongle smiled happily. But suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

"What day is today?" he asked Adriano, who was showing his muscles aside.

"October 20. What's wrong?" Adriano looked at the expression on Li Yongle's face and gradually changed.

"If I remember correctly, the next round of competition should be the 23rd day, right?" Li Yongle asked again.

"yes."

Li Yongle's smile on his face was very strange. He looked at Adriano with a confused look on his face and said, "This news is very bad for you. I'm afraid your desire to surpass Zhang will be disappointed."

"Ah? Why?" Adriano shouted. He didn't understand why his teammates suddenly lost confidence in him.

Li Yongle was quickly calculating: Sophie was not by Zhang Jun's side, so the two of them would have been very unhappy on this birthday. With that growing longing, Zhang Jun will definitely explode, and must... Based on my understanding of him, the next game is when he explodes. Even if the opponent is AC Milan and Juventus, he will definitely explode, let alone Sampdoria?
