Chapter 15
Zhou Liran soon found out about this, but he didn't take it seriously. He even said to the staff member who took the money and found him to tell him about it, "Since someone is giving money to us, we should spend it quickly. Otherwise, what if they come back? Wouldn't we lose money then?"
The staff member nodded in agreement and left with the money.
Coker was stunned. After the others left, he couldn't help but ask, "No, he, he actually took the initiative to find you and told you that he took the money? You, wow... You are too popular in the team, right? The staff are so nice to you."
Zhou Liran glanced at Cocker, "Because he knows I won't take the money."
"I won't take it either!" Cocker immediately raised his voice to refute, as if a second later would prove that he really wanted the money. "Not only will I not take it, I will also ask them not to take it. Who knows what you will say if someone outside gives you money. How can you take such money?"
Zhou Liran lowered his head and put on his gloves silently. When he heard what Cocker said, he just hummed lightly.
"By the way, you actually told him to spend the money quickly, but he shouldn't have taken the money at all."
Zhou Liran clenched his fist in the air, and when he felt good, he prepared to go to the court to practice for a while. However, before leaving, he simply explained to Coker, "Think about what you said. This is why they won't tell you."
"How can you blame me for this..."
"I don't blame you," Zhou Liran interrupted Coker helplessly, "and no one will blame you. You are right to think so. Kit Coker is the staff member just now. He has three children. He quit smoking and drinking a few years ago because of money. For him, just saying a few words to others, or even saying something good about me, can earn a few hundred pounds. This is worth it."
"You are an ideal, but he is a reality. You are not wrong, but he needs to live. Do you understand what I mean? I think he also wants to live like you, but he can't go back to our age now."
Coker stood there and opened his mouth, feeling a little uncomfortable. He wanted to say something, but the words came out dryly, which was completely inconsistent with his current mood. "You, you know so much..."
"I have been here since I was thirteen years old. Many of the staff have watched me grow up, so I am familiar with them."
Zhou Liran said so, but Cocker knew that was not the case. Cowper and Turner were in the same class as Zhou Liran, but they were not like that.
"What are you thinking about? Are you lamenting about life?" Zhou Liran raised his gloved hand and shook it. "Don't think too much. Those things are too far away from us. Instead of thinking about them, why not come with me to the court and practice again. If you feel sad in your heart, don't slack off now, and then regret decades later that you didn't work hard enough."
When he was lying on the hospital bed in his previous life, he regretted a lot. He regretted that he did not work hard enough when he was young, so that when he was old, he had to choose conservative treatment because he did not have enough savings.
After starting his life over again, before Liz remarried, he really lived like a child, liking to act like a spoiled child, and even more clingy than ordinary children. This was his mother, the mother who raised him. He didn't want to be a burden to Liz, so when Liz introduced her boyfriend to him, Zhou Liran quickly changed his tone and called her dad.
But Liz waited for him for another three years before marrying Carter. After they got married, Zhou Liran had a very happy and fulfilling 11th birthday. However, in the summer of the following year, his half brother was born. Because the child was still young and he was already 12 years old, he naturally could not pay attention to him all the time like before. When Zhou Liran realized that he was actually jealous of a child who was humming with his fingers in his mouth, he slapped himself hard to sober up his brain which was almost swallowed by sweetness.
He could no longer be a person who was unlucky in relationship, nor should he be jealous of a child who had his own biological parents. The fact that he could start his life over again was already the greatest gift from God to him, and he dared not and could not ask for too much.
Because everyone in this world who wants too much will eventually lose more of what they care about.
So one day Zhou Liran discovered the charm of football. He slept with a football in his arms every day, and boasted that he would be the greatest goalkeeper in the world. He said he wanted to set an example for his younger brother. He wanted to study at a youth training academy. He had become a completely independent adult.
Liz was worried and unwilling, but Carter was very satisfied that her adopted son had set his future ambitions so early. The couple discussed for a long time and finally spent a year to confirm that Zhou Liran was not just impulsive or had a flash in the pan, but really wanted to be a goalkeeper, and only then did they send him to the youth training base.
At the beginning, Zhou Liran went back every week, but after he started to become the substitute goalkeeper of the youth team, Zhou Liran only went back every few months. Every time he went back, he talked about football all the time, which successfully created the image that he loves football very much, so his parents are now very relieved about him.
He has always wanted to move out because he wanted to have a place of his own. After all, he really wanted to buy a big sofa to sleep on. But he always had various uses for his money, buying gifts for his parents and younger brother, treating his teammates to meals, and sometimes lending money to base staff. He deliberately creates good relationships for himself because he is already thinking about the future.
If he really fails to make a name for himself in the future, he can rely on the good relationships he has built over the years to make a living in Chelsea's youth training academy.
If things really go wrong, you can shamelessly wait for your teammates who will be kicked out in the future to ask for their autographs and sell them online, or even take advantage of the popularity to do a live broadcast to sell goods...
But now he seems to have really made a name for himself. Even though he gets hit in the face all the time, at least he can see a smooth road ahead that is shining with golden light.
[Wuwuwuwu Host, you are so miserable...]
Zhou Liran's face froze: Every time at this time, he felt that he urgently needed a few zombies to eat his brain, and he would definitely not put pea shooters and carts in front.
Of course, sunflowers still need to be planted. After all, people cannot live without the sun, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem, and just like Zhou Liran cannot avoid being hit by the ball today.
Zhou Liran took off his gloves and covered his eyes. "Let's stop here for today."
Li Ranzhou said it well. When practicing, one should not be distracted or reminisce about the past, otherwise one will get hit in the face.
