Chapter 216 Lin Quan chases De Bruyne under the moon, the twin stars join hands again!
Seeing the familiar name on the caller ID, De Bruyne hesitated, not knowing whether he should answer the call.
When he thought about leaving the Premier League soon and returning to the Bundesliga as a deserter, De Bruyne gritted his teeth and refused to answer Lin Quan's call.
He didn't know how to face the other party at this time.
The two came to the Premier League at the same time, one was the Bundesliga Golden Boot and the other was the Bundesliga assist king.
As a result, the two had completely different fates in different teams.
Lin Quan became the core of Manchester City. He led the team to achieve the most brilliant record in Manchester City's history. He was recognized by the outside world and became the most watched superstar in football.
His journey in the Premier League was undoubtedly a success.
And what about yourself?
He was full of energy and ambition when he first came to the Premier League, but now he is depressed and decadent, and has to flee the Premier League in disgrace.
De Bruyne is a very strong person, but he is also a relatively introverted and sensitive person.
If he had an average relationship with Lin Quan, he would probably have answered the call.
But he and Lin Quan had a very good relationship, and he didn't know how to face this close friend at this time, especially when the other party asked about his recent situation, he didn't know how to answer.
Should he just tell him that he couldn't adapt to the Premier League and couldn't get a chance to play in Chelsea, so he had to break the agreement they had made and leave the Premier League like a deserter? Forget it! His self-esteem still allowed him to do this!
…
"This kid hung up his own phone?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Quan was a little surprised to see that his call was rejected.
Something must have happened to this guy De Bruyne.
When he thought of De Bruyne's character, Lin Quan became more certain of his judgment.
So he called Kompany.
Kompany was very surprised to receive Lin Quan's call:
"What's wrong, Lin? Do you need me for something so late?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Captain, but I want to ask you something. Do you know De Bruyne's address in London?"
Kompany and De Bruyne are teammates in the national team, and Lin Quan felt that he might know some information.
"I'm not sure about this, but I can ask Courtois for you. He has a good relationship with De Bruyne."
Lin Quan: “…”
Sharing a girlfriend, that relationship is indeed special! Half an hour later, Kompany gave Lin Quan an address.
Lin Quan thought about it and decided that he could go and look for someone tomorrow.
But next week is the FIFA national team match day, and De Bruyne is Belgium's main midfielder, so he is likely to return to Belgium early.
Since he refused to answer his call, based on Lin Quan's understanding of De Bruyne, he would most likely leave early to avoid being found by him.
Thinking of this, Lin Quan did not hesitate. He immediately went to the garage to get the car and headed straight for London.
Manchester is about 300 kilometers away from London, and if you drive fast, you can get there in three hours.
Finally, at around one o'clock in the morning, Lin Quan arrived outside De Bruyne's residence.
Bang, bang, bang! After Lin Quan took a look at the house number, he knocked hard on De Bruyne's door.
This guy is probably asleep by now, so if you don't push hard he might not be able to hear you.
However, to his surprise, the light in De Bruyne's room came on after just one knock.
This guy is still awake at this time?
"who?"
De Bruyne's alert voice came from behind the door.
The security in London is not good. Anyone would feel nervous if someone knocked on the door like this in the middle of the night.
"I, Lin Quan!"
After Lin Quan introduced himself, the room became quiet and there was no sound from De Bruyne.
He didn't seem to expect that Lin Quan would come from Manchester so soon?
"Don't play dead. I know you are in there. Open the door quickly, or I will drive my car into the door. You know I am very mobile!"
With a creak, De Bruyne finally opened the door under the pressure of Lin Quan.
"Is there anything to eat? I've been driving for several hours and I'm a little hungry!"
After entering the door, Lin Quan glanced at De Bruyne but did not directly ask him what happened.
De Bruyne was caught off guard by him. He had been prepared to face the other party's questioning, but he did not expect that the other party would not play according to the routine.
"There's half a pizza in the fridge, but it's cold."
"Is there a microwave? I'll just heat it up. I'm not picky about food."
This guy doesn't look like someone who can cook at home, so this pizza is probably leftover from the takeout he ordered.
Lin Quan himself can cook, but he had just played a game in the daytime and drove for more than three hours from Manchester to London. The journey was extremely physically demanding and he was so sleepy that his eyelids were about to droop, so he had no energy to cook.
De Bruyne naturally had a microwave at home, and a few minutes later, the heated half pizza was served on the table.
Lin Quan didn't mind, he looked around De Bruyne's residence while eating.
This was his first time to visit De Bruyne's home. When he was a guest at Chelsea before, he had wanted to come and see him.
But before that, the entire Manchester City team had played three away games and was already exhausted, so after the game they did not stay in London and returned directly to Manchester, causing Lin Quan's plan to fail.
"Sit down, why are you being so reserved in your own home?"
I saw De Bruyne standing there nervously, not knowing whether to sit or stand.
Lin Quan was somewhat amused by him.
Why does this guy look so much like a kid who has done something wrong and is waiting to meet his parents?
Am I that scary?
De Bruyne nodded and sat on the sofa.
Lin Quan pointed at the pizza that he hadn't finished yet and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
De Bruyne shook his head.
After quickly resolving the fight, Lin Quan wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked around.
"What are you looking for?"
This time it was De Bruyne who took the initiative to ask.
"Of course I'm looking for a place to sleep. It's almost two in the morning now. Aren't you sleepy?"
De Bruyne said in his heart, I was very sleepy, but I was scared by your sudden visit. Now I am no longer sleepy. Instead, I feel very energetic.
Ever since he rejected Lin Quan's call, De Bruyne has been feeling uneasy, always having a feeling that something bad is going to happen.
Sure enough, something really happened!
He was very surprised that Lin Quan would come all the way from Manchester to see him overnight, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt it was reasonable.
That's really how this guy acts.
However, the more he didn't speak, the more uneasy De Bruyne felt. He always felt like he had done something wrong and felt sorry for him.
Lin Quan yawned, he was really sleepy.
Fortunately, there is a holiday next and I don’t have to play any games. Otherwise, after all the trouble tonight, I would definitely be in poor condition tomorrow.
De Bruyne was becoming increasingly confused about the other party's purpose. They just came to eat and then slept.
Isn’t he here to call for punishment?
However, since Lin Quan didn't speak, he didn't dare to ask.
So I had to take Lin Quan to the second bedroom to rest.
Lin Quan fell asleep immediately, but De Bruyne tossed and turned.
There was no conversation that night because both of them went to bed late, so when they woke up the next morning, it was already half past nine.
"Good morning, come and have breakfast, I made it!"
Looking at De Bruyne with panda eyes, Lin Quan greeted him, then took off his bib, washed his hands and sat down at the dining table.
De Bruyne took a look and saw toast, fried eggs, breakfast tea, and a large bowl of soup made of something unknown.
De Bruyne tried to take a sip for Lin Quan's sake.
After drinking it, his eyes lit up! When he first took a sip, it felt a little sour, but after the soup dissolved in his mouth, the sourness turned into sweetness. The fresh and rich taste stimulated the taste buds on the tip of his tongue, which aroused his appetite. He drank a large bowl in no time.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Mmm, delicious!"
"Haha, this is called tomato and egg soup. It's a very delicious soup in Chinese cuisine. It's cheap and delicious. If you like, I'll give you the recipe and you can try to learn it yourself!"
Seeing that De Bruyne was very interested in the soup, Lin Quan introduced it to him.
Tomato and egg soup is one of the simplest soups, and many people like it.
Apart from pork liver and lean meat soup and radish and pig blood soup, this is Lin Quan’s third favorite soup.
Compared to ordering takeout or eating out at home, today's breakfast is definitely the most hearty and delicious breakfast De Bruyne has had in recent times.
He had never known before that Lin Quan had such a skill.
I didn’t expect that this guy is not only good at playing football, but also good at cooking.
When he thought of this, De Bruyne felt even more ashamed of himself.
"What time is your flight?"
Seeing that De Bruyne had packed his suitcase in advance, Lin Quan guessed that he might take a flight back to Belgium today to participate in the national team's game, so he asked.
"It's half past eleven in the morning."
"Refund it. I can't get a ticket for this flight. Please change to the next one!"
"oh!"
De Bruyne did as he was told, and only after he bought the plane ticket did he feel something was wrong.
"Wait, why did you buy a ticket on the same flight as me?"
"Why? Of course I plan to go to Belgium and see how you perform in the national team!"
Lin Quan looked De Bruyne up and down:
"I'm curious, you haven't played a game for two months, can you still do it?"
…
As it turns out, De Bruyne is in very good shape.
In Belgium's friendly match against Colombia, he scored a goal and made an assist, helping the team tie the opponent 2:2.
In another match against Japan, he scored twice and assisted one goal, helping the team beat the opponent 3:2.
After watching the two games, Lin Quan had an idea of De Bruyne's condition.
Although this guy didn't get a chance to play at Chelsea, he probably didn't fall behind in training and didn't show any self-destructive behavior.
Judging from the physical confrontation ability he showed in the game, Lin Quan felt that he had become stronger than when he first came to Chelsea.
Although there are still some problems on defense, as long as he is not used as a dedicated defensive player, his current defensive ability is fully qualified.
I really don't understand why Mourinho looks down on him!
De Bruyne at this time is at least half a level stronger than De Bruyne in the same period of time in the original dimension.
Thinking of this, Lin Quan said to De Bruyne directly: "Come to Manchester City, the two of us will work together to create a new world of our own in Manchester City!"
Manchester City just needs a passing master to free up Lin Quan.
De Bruyne just happens to possess such ability, and coupled with his relationship with Lin Quan and the tacit understanding between the two, they are undoubtedly the most suitable partners.
"You followed me for seven or eight days, just to say this?"
De Bruyne put his hands on his hips and looked at Lin Quan with a somewhat amusing look.
In order to so-called assess his condition, the other party insisted on staying with him in Belgium for more than a week.
De Bruyne suspected that Lin Quan had never been so attentive to his girlfriend. "You kid, you don't mean to say that if I invite you on the first day, you will agree to it, right?"
"Of course, how could I refuse an invitation to fight alongside you?"
De Bruyne smiled and stretched out his hand.
Lin Quan also smiled, he also stretched out his hand, and the two hands were clasped together tightly.
At this moment, De Bruyne's cell phone rang.
It was his agent, Patrick, calling.
"Kevin, Wolfsburg is most interested in you. Not only are they willing to promise you a starting position, but the annual salary and bonus they offer are also the highest among the three teams!"
Patrick said excitedly that after some tough negotiations, he successfully negotiated De Bruyne's annual salary to 4.5 million euros, which is already the highest annual salary for a top-notch star.
Any higher would be the treatment of a top star, but De Bruyne's current fame and strength do not reach the level of a top star, so it is impossible for him to get such a high salary.
Therefore, after negotiating the terms with Wolfsburg, Patrick was almost certain that De Bruyne would never be able to refuse this annual salary.
Just wait until the winter break begins, Wolfsburg makes an offer to Chelsea, and after the two sides reach an agreement on the transfer fee, they can sign with Wolfsburg.
Patrick thought De Bruyne would be happy to agree to the transfer, but to his surprise, before he could finish explaining the details of the contract, De Bruyne said categorically:
"No, I'm not going to Wolfsburg."
Patrick was stunned for a moment, thinking that De Bruyne still wanted to stay at Chelsea, so he tried his best to persuade him:
"Kevin, you should face the reality. You have no future at Chelsea. Leaving early will be a good thing for you and the team."
De Bruyne nodded:
"Yes, Lin told me that too!"
"Lin, which Lin?"
Patrick was stunned for a moment.
"Lin from Manchester City, he invited me!"
Patrick gasped, Manchester City seemed like a good place to go.
They have good records in the league and the Champions League, and the relationship between the core of the team and De Bruyne is good. They will not be excluded like Chelsea.
However, can Manchester City be interested in De Bruyne?
He has not proven his ability at Chelsea. Is Manchester City really willing to spend the money to buy him?
Although Lin Quan has a good relationship with De Bruyne, he is just a player. Can he really influence Manchester City's decision-makers and make them buy De Bruyne?
What if they reject the olive branch from the Bundesliga team and Manchester City does not make any move during the winter break?
Wouldn't De Bruyne's situation be very embarrassing?
"I believe him!"
De Bruyne's tone is extremely firm! (End of this chapter)
