Chapter 143
When Cristiano saw Figo's reaction, he realized that it was an own goal.
He explained everything to Figo with a smile and tears, and Figo was almost confused by these two young men.
"I really don't understand what you young people are thinking now." Figo muttered. He reluctantly accepted the fact that his successor was only 21 years old and had a child.
He didn't understand why two young people in their twenties were so ready to welcome a new life so immediately. Didn't they think about how much trouble this would bring them? Besides, what a huge responsibility this is!
Figo couldn't help shaking his head, but Cristiano smiled and hung on the captain, his eyes curved: "Luis, the child was sent to us by fate, so we accept it calmly and let nature take its course."
Figo looked at the extra human-shaped pendant on his body. He sighed softly and said nothing. He just raised his hand and patted Cristiano on the head.
His team leader still looks like a child himself, let him take care of another child? He no longer dared to imagine how chaotic the scene would be.
The two chatted for a while before Deco, Carvalho and their teammates arrived at the bus parking lot one after another.
"Louis!"
"We were wondering where you were going, but it turns out you were meeting with Louis to have a private conversation? Is there anything we can't hear?"
"That's right."
A group of main players who were excited about winning against Brazil started to cheer.
Cristiano raised his eyebrows and gave a wicked smile: "Luis is teaching me how to deal with you, do you want to listen?"
Teammates: “…”
Figo slapped Cristiano on the forehead with a smile, and then asked: "Have you thought about how to celebrate?"
"Bar? Party?" Deco suggested, and then the others followed suit - "Bar! Party!"
Cristiano spread his hands and looked at Figo: "Can't they be a little creative?"
Figo laughed.
"Okay, bar, party, it's all up to you." Cristiano grinned and raised his eyebrows. "Who's responsible for booking the place?"
——In the end, it was Cristiano who asked the Brazilian.
"Kaka won't be able to ask anything useful. You have to ask Marcelo." Cristiano flipped through his phone. Kaka had already pushed Marcelo's contact information to him. While sending a message to Marcelo, he said, "Or ask that Ronaldo."
Marcelo received a text message from Cristiano and subconsciously sent a question mark.
[C: Come on, recommend me a bar suitable for players. Let’s go celebrate. Do you want to come with us? 】
Marcelo wanted to ask him if he was polite, but he was so angry that he took a deep breath and turned to Kaka and asked, "Can I block Cristiano?"
Kaka paused: "What?"
Marcelo showed the chat interface to Kaka: "Is he really not deliberately provoking?"
"...He might just be acting subconsciously." Kaka couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling a little amused. If it was Marcelo from his previous life, he might have gone there directly, but his lover obviously forgot that the Marcelo in front of him had only known him for two days.
Kaka said: "Why not go together."
He knew Cristiano was going to fly back to Manchester the next day.
“I’m not in the mood to play,” Marcelo muttered.
Ronaldinho and his friends who were sitting behind them shouted with laughter, "Go ahead, whoever wins will pay. Let Ronaldo remember to pay for the whole place!"
"Come on Marcelo, it's just a friendly game. Besides, we should have fun even if the sky is falling!"
"Quick, Kaka, promise the captain of Portugal that it's the third round of the Brazil-Portugal Friendship!"
The first round is barbecue, the second round is competition, and the third round is bar, it’s so wonderful.
Kaka replied to Cristiano.
Cristiano said "Wow" softly in the car, causing Pepe to look over in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, even the Brazilian team will come," Cristiano said.
Pepe paused, and Quaresma, who was sitting next to him, raised his eyebrows: "They lost and still have the mood to go to the bar?"
"Shh, be careful of getting hit." Carvalho joked. He looked at Cristiano and asked with interest, "Their captain is here too? I've never heard of him going to a bar."
That's AC Milan's famous son Kaka. Since his first appearance at San Siro, he has never been involved in any negative news, and even the rumors about him are only one or two very occasionally - and the object of the rumor is even married now.
How could a Kaka like this actually agree to come to the bar together? Wow. Carvalho winked at Cristiano.
Cristiano rolled his eyes a little.
When the Brazilian bus arrived at the booked bar, Cristiano picked up Kaka and his group.
He whispered, "I didn't expect you to come."
Kaka felt Cristiano's breath on his neck. He smiled softly and said, "I've been to the bar before, Cris. Don't think I'm so out of touch with young people."
"Where have you been?" Cristiano asked curiously. This was actually a little different from what he thought.
However, they spent very little time together in their previous life, and because of their fame, when they were together they always chose to stay at home or go on a yacht, as if they had created a small world for themselves just the two of them, and they would not tend to go to such noisy public places.
Kaka said a few, and seeing Cristiano's more confused eyes, he couldn't help but laugh. He pinched Cristiano's ears and added: "But these are new gospels. They will do some gospel concerts and other activities from time to time."
These are some new things that were reported in later generations and are not available now.
Cristiano understood now, he couldn't help but laugh with his head down, this was really Kaka.
Cafu and his companions watched Kaka and the other team's captain walking side by side naturally, walking forward with their heads down, completely leaving their teammates behind and forgetting their existence.
Marcelo stared at the two men's backs in confusion: "Why did Kaka leave? I thought he had to say something before taking us in together."
Cafu twitched his lips, thinking that your Captain Kaka no longer has you in his heart, Marcelo, but he said verbally: "Come on, you are not a child who needs to be taken in, don't tell me this is your first time in a bar."
After saying this, Cafu took the lead and walked into the bar.
Marcelo scratched the back of his head, it seemed to make sense.
Even Brazilians have to admit one thing - Cristiano is a natural party boy and he is the host of the party wherever he goes.
"He really knows how to do it!" Marcelo couldn't help but say, swaying to the rhythm of Cristiano's DJing, cheering loudly while dancing, and whistling at Cristiano at the top of the stage.
——I completely forgot who was shouting “I’m not in the mood to play” on the bus earlier.
When Kaka heard what Marcelo said, he turned his gaze to the DJ booth that was higher up in the center of the stage.
His boy was standing there, wearing silver headphones, with dazzling lights from above shining on the stage, and colorful light strips reflecting Cristiano's face. The crowd below raised their arms high to the dynamic rhythm, waving and cheering to Cristiano.
It's like a superstar.
Kaka stood below and watched from afar. His lover slightly raised the corners of his mouth and licked his fangs nonchalantly. He held the earphone with one hand and gently swayed his body. The two diamond earrings on his earlobes made him look even more shining. He looked like a playboy playing around, rather than the legend who never stopped running on the court.
If Cristiano goes to Hollywood, it will probably drive more people crazy.
Kaka thought to himself, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and swayed his body slightly to the music - he was indeed not very good at this kind of occasion, his body movements were uncoordinated, as if he had run away, but this did not prevent him from enjoying tonight, enjoying the look of Cristiano on the stage - he curled the corners of his mouth in pleasure, the crazy boy belonged to him.
Cristiano seemed to have a telepathic connection. He raised his eyes and met Kaka's focused gaze. He curled the corners of his mouth and immediately waved to Kaka in the audience.
Kaka paused and shook his head. He was not suitable for that kind of game. He couldn't play it as easily as Cristiano and get everyone excited. He didn't want to ruin the current atmosphere.
Yet Cristiano still waved at him, as if he would not give up until he went up.
Kaka knew how persistent Cristiano was, and Cafu and Ronaldinho also noticed the movement on the DJ stage. Ronaldinho laughed and pushed their new captain up: "Hurry up! The Portuguese captain can't take all the limelight!"
Kaka had no choice but to jog up, touching his nose. He ran to Cristiano's side and shouted in a low and helpless voice: "Cris, I don't know these..."
"I clearly remember that you bought these things before." Cristiano put on a smug look as if to say "Don't try to fool me". He is a careful observer and has an excellent memory.
Kaka was stunned for a moment, then realized that Cristiano was referring to the previous life.
That was even after they broke up.
He did buy a set of professional DJ equipment, and he also bought some Cristiano brand headphones. With some thoughts that he couldn't explain, he asked his friend to take a photo for him and post it on the social platform.
He didn't expect that Cristiano had actually seen it, because Cristiano hadn't liked his content or shown that he had read it for a long time.
——He even had the illusion at that time that he seemed to have evaporated from Cristiano's world.
But you deserve it when you decide to let go of the relationship. Kaka heard a voice in his heart quietly warning him, but he ignored it.
He bought this expensive professional "toy" simply because Cristiano played it well, while he was just a poor misser.
He doesn't play with these expensive toys. He just puts them in a corner of his house so that he has the illusion that this is still his and Chris's house. One day, Cristiano will naturally open the door, come back from outside, and kiss his cheek.
When Kaka posted the photo on the social platform, he really hoped that Cristiano could see it and notice his headphones, which were even the latest model under CR7. He hoped that Cristiano knew that he was still paying attention to him, as usual.
Kaka despised in his heart the meanness of his own behavior - he proposed a breakup and left his lover. He could not love her openly, but he also could not happily and openly wish her well in embarking on a new journey. In this way, he hoped that Cristiano would remember that he was still in his life.
Kaka knew he couldn't accept the day when Cristiano completely ignored him and treated him as just a former teammate.
Marcelo never understood. He always thought they would be together forever, even openly, but in fact it was Kaka who proposed the breakup.
When Marcelo saw the CR7 logo appearing from time to time in Kaka's home, his incomprehension almost reached the sky.
Who would still go crazy buying things from the previous brand and fill every corner of their life? Especially since Kaka is even getting married soon!
"I think if he sees it, he'll know I still care about him," Kaka replied to Marcelo.
Marcelo took a deep breath, as if he understood. "And Chris will always wait for you, as if you just had a fight instead of breaking up completely? Kaka, you gave him hope! Even if you never took the initiative to contact him, everything you did had the same purpose - you made it impossible for him to leave. This is not fair. You should think clearly about how you two are going to go. You and he both deserve a new life. Also, don't make things more complicated. You know what I mean. While there is still room for everything."
Kaka's ears turned red from Marcelo's words, and he felt panicky and had nowhere to hide.
He politely asked Marcelo to leave and locked himself in the house.
Marcelo spoke the deepest thoughts in his heart, but he swore that his original intention was not selfish to trap Cristiano. He just wanted Cristiano to remember him instead of just an ordinary passerby.
His lover has too many wonderful travelers and experiences in his life. It has nothing to do with love, but just some pure but strong emotions - friendship, admiration, jealousy, resentment, and of course love. Kaka has to admit that he is jealous of those travelers who have left a deep impression, but he is also unwilling to be just one of them.
When he thought about Marcelo's words, he realized that he really had to make a break - he made a choice that was clear to everyone, and that day, he even sent an invitation to Cristiano, and he personally put a profound end to their past.
Cristiano did not show up at the wedding, and similarly, neither Pepe nor Marcelo were there.
Kaka heard the music playing in the sea breeze. It was so joyful, but he couldn't stop crying. His newlywed wife looked at him with a smile, but there was confusion in her eyes.
He thought he could let it go, that time would eventually make all emotions become dull and mediocre, but the reality was just the opposite.
His feelings for Cristiano were like an ember, which would be reignited again and again when the wind blew, always stronger than the last, more rebellious, more desperate.
"Kaka?" Cristiano's voice came closer and closer. Kaka was grabbed by the sleeve and shook twice before he came back to his senses. His lover raised his eyebrows in confusion, "You can't even be in a daze like this? DJing can't be that boring!"
Kaka's eyes turned back to the DJ player at hand after hearing this. Cristiano might never know the ridiculous and despicable thoughts he once had, and he was glad that Cristiano didn't know.
He smiled and replied to Cristiano: "But I didn't play very well."
"It's easy. I'll teach you." Cristiano became excited when he heard that. He took Kaka's hand and taught his lover how to do it.
Kaka was a humble and serious student, and Cristiano was a patient - at least patient enough in front of Kaka - and talented amateur DJ, but the next half hour was like a nightmare.
No one knew what the problem was, but Cristiano and Kaka were sent away together.
Cristiano pouted and said that it was a sign of bad taste that you don't know how to appreciate it. Goodbye forever.
Kaka clapped his hands in agreement and suggested that Cristiano could go sing since the microphone was empty anyway.
…
All in all, the first half of the party was dreamy and wonderful, while the second half was "a little" noisy.
"Honestly, my head is still buzzing." The next day, on the bus back to the airport, Marcelo covered his head, "I seem to still hear Cristiano's singing..."
Ronaldinho looked at Marcelo sympathetically and said, "Oh... that's really, exciting?"
Marcelo: “…” More than that.
Who suggested that Cristiano sing? ? If last night hadn't been so chaotic, Marcelo would have definitely caught this black sheep!
Kaka smiled and handed Marcelo a mint candy: "Maybe it will make you feel better?"
"Thank you, that's exactly what I needed." Marcelo nodded gratefully to his captain.
///
After the friendly match, Cristiano returned to Manchester.
The opponent in the Champions League round of 16 knockout round was Real Madrid, and the first leg was at Manchester United's home ground. With Giggs's solo goal, Manchester United won the first leg 1-0.
Beckham returned to the Theatre of Dreams, but he had already decided to leave Real Madrid this season. During the entire first leg, he was unable to step onto the turf of the Theatre of Dreams, but sat on the bench and watched the normal game in silence.
More than half a month later, in the second leg of the quarter-finals, the Manchester United Red Devils flew to Spain and waited quietly for the game at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Cristiano hasn't been to the Bernabeu for a long time. He is familiar with every corner and every stand here. He once made history here for Real Madrid and led the club through the death knockout rounds again and again.
And now, he is here again, but as an opponent, an opponent who wants to send Real Madrid back.
It's such an amazing taste.
Cristiano stood on the court and exhaled lightly. He was surrounded by a sea of white and the passionate faces of the fans.
How wonderful, he thought to himself, and curled the corners of his mouth.
He is here.
