Chapter 195
Cristiano stretched out his arms and hugged Kaka. He didn't know what Kaka was thinking, but he clearly felt a little sad and uneasy.
He sighed softly and kissed Kaka's face buried in his neck lightly. He made a nasal sound and hummed softly: "Yeah, I'm here Kaka."
He threaded his fingers through the young Brazilian's dark hair, playing with it softly, and whispered, "I don't know what's going on, maybe you'd like to tell me?"
Kaka raised his face after a few seconds. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and carefully turned Cristiano's face, then kissed him hard.
Cristiano was stunned for a second, then slowly relaxed.
He put his arm around Kaka's waist, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and responded gently. Until he felt that his lover's body was no longer so tense under his palm, he slowly pulled back a little, licked his lips, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Can you tell me now?"
Kaka stared into Cristiano's eyes, those beautiful, always spirited eyes, reflecting a beautiful green under the cold light, like agate sealed in sap amber, and his curved eyelashes trembled as his owner blinked.
He rubbed the back of his hand across Cristiano's face, touched his eyes, and felt the subtle touch of his eyelashes fluttering across the back of his hand, which made him realize clearly that he and Cristiano, he and his lover were so close.
They are together.
Kaka exhaled lightly, and he spoke slowly: "Cris, this is what I should say, I'm here, okay?"
Cristiano smiled and tilted his head: "Of course, I know."
"No, I mean, you don't need to be alone, even if you're used to it." Kaka interrupted Cristiano and added, lowering his voice with a hint of earnestness, "But from now on, Cris, I ask you to get used to me facing these things with you, and get used to me no longer being excluded."
"Cristiano, I don't need to be a 'good man' or a 'holy son' as defined by the public. That's bullshit. I've had enough of it. I just want to be someone who can stand with you."
Cristiano blinked: "Wow..."
He held Kaka's face in his hands: "Listen, just stand by me, okay? It is like this now, it was like this before, and it will be like this in the future. No one can change this fact, or rather, the only person who can change this is you, Kaka."
"You can do whatever you want to do and be whoever you want to be, Kaka. I hear your heart and I know you are with me, and that's enough." Cristiano said softly, with the curve of his eyes smiling.
He tapped Kaka's chest gently, "Kaka, you have to tell your heart what you want, and then do it. I can't help you become a certain kind of person, but I will be here, right where I am, understand?"
"Kaka, this is the last thing you need to worry about." Cristiano kissed his lover's forehead, then he stood up from the pool, picked up the large towel on the edge of the pool, and casually wrapped it around his waist twice.
"I should go out, Kaka, what about you?" he asked.
Kaka looked at Cristiano, he gently took Cristiano's hand, kissed his lover's fingertips, and said softly: "I think I should stay a little longer."
"Well, pay attention to the time. Stay for three more minutes at most. It's not good for you to exceed the time limit." Cristiano reminded. When he stayed in the cold zone, he always strictly followed the advice of the physiotherapist. Similarly, he tapped his wrist. "If you haven't come out in three minutes, I will come to you."
Kaka smiled and nodded: "Okay Cris."
Cristiano then nodded in relief and turned away.
Kaka watched the door of the cold area close again. He retracted his gaze and fixed it on the pool that was emitting white steam.
He suddenly realized that when he pleaded with Cristiano, he forgot that he also had the initiative -
He forgot that he could take a step forward towards Cristiano, and forgot that he could take the initiative to hug Cristiano instead of waiting for Cristiano to give a signal.
When he begged Cristiano not to get used to the habits of his previous life, he did not realize that he was still clinging to the habits of his previous life. He was used to being loved by Cristiano, and then when he did not get any signal from him, it was as if he had suddenly lost the ability to love.
He thought back to the field, and when Cristiano was provoked by the opposing player, he was so angry that he pushed away the outspoken striker, and Cristiano would hold his wrist. When he hugged Cristiano tightly and monopolized the moment of Cristiano's goal celebration, Cristiano would hug him back.
He began to understand that what mattered was what he did, and Cristiano, his lover, would never be reluctant to respond to him.
He suddenly smiled and lowered his head, then quickly came out of the cold zone.
"Ha, today's cold zone is so popular, which is rare." Marcelo greeted Kaka with a smile when he saw him coming out.
Kaka looked at Marcelo, who paused and then replied: "The cold zone does have benefits."
Marcelo scratched the back of his head. “I’ll have to try that next time.”
“Of course.” Cristiano came over, he put his arm around Marcelo’s shoulders and smiled, “This is scientifically proven, my friend! I won’t do anything meaningless.”
Marcelo could still clearly feel the chill from Cristiano's body as he approached him, and he couldn't help but shiver in the winter.
He quickly changed his tone: "But at least not in winter! God, I really don't understand how you two can stand being in a cold area in winter, especially you! Cristiano! This is undoubtedly the practice of ascetics!"
"But this helps me stay in the best physical condition. Nothing else is more important than playing football." Cristiano said, patting his muscles and looking at Marcelo with a smile, "Look, this is a muscle that can kick a goal from half the field."
Everyone else in the locker room laughed when they heard this. Raul shook his head and called out to Cristiano in a funny way: "Don't be so cocky, boy. Get ready and go to the interview. The reporters are waiting!"
When Cristiano heard the reporter was going to interview him, his eyes that were raised just now suddenly drooped down, and his eyebrows and eyes were like a listless puppy, revealing a sense of laziness and reluctance: "I can imagine what they will ask. I would rather they ask me more about football."
He stood in front of his closet, slowly and reluctantly moving.
"Stop complaining, come on, if those reporters say something inappropriate, I will scold them back for you, okay?" Ramos urged with a smile, "And you, Kaka, follow up!"
When Cristiano was dragged to the back area by Ramos, Guti was being interviewed by a beautiful reporter. Cristiano heard the other party ask:
"So Guti, do you have anything to say about the recent rumors in the newspapers about you liking men?" The beautiful reporter turned the microphone over.
Guti received Raul's warning and consolation look. He took a deep breath and put on a fake smile: "That's fake, it's obvious."
"But I don't believe it. You seem to have never been photographed with a lady in any ambiguous photos?" the beautiful reporter said, "Unless you kiss me."
Guti paused, then looked at his teammates, who nodded and cheered at him jokingly.
Guti: “…”
He looked at the lady, curled the corners of his mouth, then leaned over and gave her a light kiss: "Of course, I'm very happy to do that, ma'am."
There was a burst of teasing cheers all around, and the beautiful reporter was extremely surprised.
"Cristiano, Kaka, you are here." Guti quickly shifted his gaze, with an urgent look for help in his eyes, and said quickly, "So ladies and gentlemen, I think you have more questions for my teammates? That's all about me."
He said and ran away quickly.
Cristiano and Kaka looked at each other, and they resigned themselves to standing in Guti's position.
Cristiano spread his hands and smiled at the reporters: "Okay, I guess you have a lot of questions? Come on."
The beautiful reporter who had just been kissed immediately said, "Okay Cristiano, same question, do you have anything to say about the recent rumors in the newspapers that you like men? Perhaps, are you willing to prove the rumors about your sexual orientation like Guti did?"
The other reporters around him immediately burst into laughter. Cristiano said "Wow", blinked and looked at the other party. He laughed: "To be honest, I prepared answers to several questions in my mind, but I didn't expect this one?"
The reporter blinked: "This is a surprise, Cristiano."
Cristiano was just about to say something to fool him when Kaka suddenly took a step forward, blocking his view.
Kaka smiled and looked at the other party solemnly: "Madam, please don't be too greedy. Let's get back to football, okay?"
The reporter subconsciously met Kaka's gaze upon hearing this, and then her face immediately became hot. She felt that it was inappropriate to bring up these things in front of the Son of God, so she readily responded, "Since Kaka said so, let's talk about the game?"
Cristiano raised his eyebrows, looked at Kaka with some surprise, and then laughed softly.
He didn't expect Kaka to say that, but the effect was unexpectedly good?
