Before the summer vacation, Carlos 'training in La Masia was slowly getting on track. With good exercise and a nutritious diet, the little golden retriever grew taller. His soft and pure blond hair was as elegant and explosive as his skills. He became a dazzling existence on the team. The coach teased him that only Carlos would take care of his hair every day.
In La Masia, the youth training system was already very mature. Most players trained with the ball before the age of 15. They would train the young players 'ability to control the ball. In order to ensure the creativity of the young players, all the players in the club's echelon never trained more than a certain limit every day. The U8 and U9 players trained three times a week, plus a game on Saturday. The teams above U12 trained four times a week, and the teams above U16 trained five times a week.
The children who trained here did not need to pay a penny. The club allocated about 18 million euros a year to support youth training, which did not include hardware facilities.
Since the growth of children required family education, La Masia would provide jobs for the parents of the young players who had left their homes. As an orphan, Carlos moved from the orphanage to the dormitory in La Masia. The coaches hoped that he could integrate into the group. Carlos's psychological examination report showed that he had low-risk depression.
The coaches had yet to tell anyone about this. He was still young. They hoped that La Masia, who was full of passion and youth, could change him.
August was the beginning of the football season. Under the influence of the Mediterranean climate, the temperature of the Iberian Peninsula rose to its peak.
Su Qingjia was thinking about what kind of gift he should give to this handsome blond man who would turn eleven this month.
The strange auntie was a little confused.
She asked Sister Rosa when Carlos 'birthday was---August 27th. However, Sister Rosa also told her that after Carlos came to the orphanage at the age of four, he never mentioned his birthday again. Sister Rosa had insisted, but she could not persuade the more stubborn Carlos. In the years that followed, the strange boy in the orphanage did not have a birthday. It was already a common way for children to criticize him in private.
Su Qingjia hoped that she could give Carlos a beautiful birthday memory. This young man who worked hard on his dream was like a little sun. She didn't want his childhood to be a barren land where wild grass grew wildly. That would be too pathetic.
However, what made the strange auntie feel relieved was that she really did not know what kind of birthday present to give him.
Oh, Doak, I really want to be alone.
Carlos, who was on his summer vacation, was not happy. He borrowed a very good glass flask from his coach and put the plum blossoms that Bella had given him into it. He prepared the salt water according to the ratio told by a flower shop owner and added the nutrient solution he had asked for. He placed it in the sunniest place in his dormitory. Every morning when he woke up, he could see the red flowers swaying under the golden sunlight. His mood could not be any better. However, the good times did not last long. Even with considerate care, this plum blossom only lived for a month before its roots rotted away.
\(▔□▔)/╰(￣▽￣)╮o(︶︿︶)o
Carlos felt that his heart was like a withering flower.
It was all his fault. He had practiced basketball for too long every day and did not spend time with Bella's gift.
Carlos started to pull his hair again.
For Carlos, who was still in the U11 team, he had a paid, leisurely summer vacation, but he did not want to waste it. He submitted an application to the coach, and Carlos trained with the U16 and above players in La Masia. After a few days, this big brother with well-developed limbs was used to having a little golden retriever playing next to him, who would give him pointers from time to time.
When the players played against each other, Carlos would hold the ball and watch from the audience. He watched very seriously. Although he had not started to learn tactics, this did not prevent him from studying them.
Carlos had an extraordinary understanding of football.
It was another bright morning. Carlos got up very early. He looked at the empty glass bottle and was a little dejected. It was time to return the bottle to the coach.
After washing up and combing his hair, Carlos ate breakfast and went to the playground to start his usual warm-up jog. Then he started practicing.
"Hey, kid, your little girlfriend is here to see you.”Oleg was a member of the U17 team. He was very lively in the team and liked to joke around. Seeing that Carlos was puzzled, he raised his chin and pointed." Over there, on the sidelines. See?" I met her when I was dribbling. She came to find you. Hey, little golden retriever, did you find a ceramic doll? She looks pretty good. She'll definitely be a beauty when she grows up. If…"
Carlos grabbed the ball that rolled down from his shoulder and ran away. Behind him, Oleg was still shouting," Hey, kid, you're too mean. Hey, don't run. I haven't finished speaking!"”
Carlos was so happy that he almost jumped up." Bella, you, why are you here? I, I'm still training."”Oh no, he said something wrong. Why was he so stupid? He should have said that he was very happy. Why did he say that he was still training? Carlos began to panic again.
"Why? You don't welcome me to come to your training? Do you think I'm troublesome?”Su Qingjia looked at the boy whose right ear was shaking like a sieve and said," So you don't welcome me. I'll be leaving then."”
"No, no, Bella. I, I welcome you. I'm just not ready yet.”Carlos quickly tugged at the corner of Su Qingjia's clothes and bit the corner of his mouth. He didn't know how to make up for it." I smell like sweat. I need to change my clothes and take a shower." Bella, do you want to wait here?"
Su Qingjia shook his head." I still need to prepare. I'm not some big monster." Don't change your clothes. You're fine like this. Pretty boy, you're as handsome as a little sun. Besides, when I trained with you in the past, you were always sweating profusely.”
Hearing Su Qingjia's praise, Carlos 'heart almost jumped out. However, the next second, he mumbled,"Is my hair okay today?" He exercised for a while, and she wondered if his hair had fallen out.
"Pfft..." Su Qingjia laughed so hard that her stomach hurt."Carlos, you're really... I don't know what to say about you."”Seeing Carlos looking at her in confusion, Su Qingjia held back her laughter and coughed."Alright, Carlos, your hair is very good today. It's not messy at all." Handsome ~"
She took out a pot of green radish from the white paper bag next to her, but because it was too heavy, Su Qingjia did not take it out. The two children squatted down to take a look.
Su Jingkang walked her to the door, and the cute guard helped her in.
"Do you like it?" Su Qingjia said as if he was presenting a treasure," This is for you."”
Forgive Carlos for not waking up from the dead plum blossom. His brain seemed to have short-circuited." Give it to me. Why?"”
"It's called a green radish, and it's a very tenacious plant. It can live in the water, and it can also take root in the soil. It was very easy to survive. As long as there was water, it would be satisfied.”Su Qingjia didn't answer his question. Instead, she started a small science class." The flower language of the green ivy is tenacity and kindness, guarding happiness."”
Su Qingjia poked the dazed young man and pushed the bag of ivy over." Carlos, this is my first birthday present for you. Happy birthday."”
On the court, the teenagers kept running back and forth and practicing with each other. Carlos heard the wind, the shouts, and the sound of water, but he still clearly heard the blessings.
For a little boy who hadn't celebrated his birthday for almost seven years, the phrase 'happy birthday' was both unfamiliar and familiar to him. Many a time, when his classmates celebrated their birthdays, he would echo them with a " Happy Birthday ". However, it had been a long time since he had heard someone say this to him. It had been so long that he had forgotten that today was his birthday.
Carlos raised his head and looked at the girl who was smiling at him. She was wearing a strange dress today. Her collar was up, and her slender arms were exposed. However, the workmanship was exquisite, and there were many patterns of characters on them. The entire dress was split at the leg, and when she squatted down, her white calves were exposed. Bella looked very beautiful in the red dress.
Perhaps in the beginning, he was just against celebrating his birthday with the children in the orphanage. As time passed, no one mentioned it again, and he gradually forgot about it. Every day was the same to him. There was nothing special. It was boring, boring, and cold.
"I like it very much, and I also like its floral language.”Carlos touched the heart-shaped leaves of the ivy." I'll put it in the sunniest place in the dormitory and look at it every day.”He did not want to mess up this gift again.
"Young man, the green ivy likes the shade. It can't be directly exposed to sunlight.”Su Qingjia held her forehead and looked at Carlos 'surprised expression." You don't think that all plants have to be raised under the sun, do you?”
Carlos nodded, his big eyes looking a little embarrassed. Wasn't it? In his science class, his teacher said that green plants needed to absorb sunlight.
Su Qingjia didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Then don't. This bottle of Usnea needs to be kept in a cool place. Don't let it get sunburned. You don't have to take care of it. Just add some water when it's almost out of water." It's very easy to raise."
Carlos nodded and looked at his gift from top to bottom.""Then I'll put it on the bedside table, okay?”
"As long as you don't get exposed to the sun, it's fine.”Su Qingjia tilted her head." Put your things back in the dormitory first. It's your birthday today. Your coach and I took a leave of absence. You have to follow me today."”
Carlos suddenly thought of something, and his face turned red again. His right ear started to shake." Then, I'll go to the dormitory and put my things away. Then, I'll go with you."”He suddenly stood up and ran.
After running for 50 meters, she ran back silently and looked at Su Qingjia." I was practicing the shuttle run just now.”Then, he put the green ivy into a paper bag and carried it away.
The Usnea was very heavy, so he could only walk. However, he was able to walk very quickly because Su Qingjia's laughter behind him made him feel very uncomfortable.
[Su Qingjia: I'm the one who's so excited that I forgot to take something?]
