Chapter 26 Zhang Xu, the Man I Love
"Oh, by the way, Das." After introducing each other, Zhang Xu turned his head and asked Das, "Why did you come to Belgium? Don't tell me that you came here to see me."

"Haha, of course not!" Das laughed: "We heard that the Ghent International Film Festival is about to open, so we came to have a look. By the way, we can see if our super student from the University of Paris VI is still hanging around in U21."

"But we didn't expect, Zhang, you've already joined the first team and participated in four games in a row!" Das and Luo Kai both nodded in praise: "We also watched the game today, and I have to say, Zhang, you did a great job! Let's impress us!"

"Haha, of course, I'm a super student!" Zhang Xu laughed out of humility.

Nicola looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Zhang Xu from the side.

In her impression, although Zhang Xu was full of vigor in the past, he always felt a little melancholy; but now, he is completely a sunny young man, with a sense of self-confidence arising spontaneously between his gazes.

Nicola looked at the handsome face in front of her, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.

In fact, it was her suggestion to go to Belgium to watch the Ghent Film Festival. On the one hand, as a former Hollywood movie star, participating in the Ghent Film Festival can enrich her knowledge and broaden her horizons;

"Hey, Zhang, you won't let us drink the northwest wind here, will you?" Das spread his hands, then pointed to his mouth, and winked at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu laughed and scolded: "You foodie, you really should put a big rock in your mouth! Well, in our Woluwe area, there happens to be a very distinctive Belgian restaurant, not far from here, you can walk there, now I will take you there, let's go!"

So, under the leadership of Zhang Xu, a group of six people strolled towards the Belgian restaurant.

Along the way, Luo Kai walked with Lifen, Das walked with his girlfriend Susan, and Zhang Xu walked with Nicola as a matter of course.

Nicola was in a very good mood. She kept asking Zhang Xu about his life in Belgium, competitions, etc., and seemed extremely curious and active.

Out of politeness, Zhang Xu was too embarrassed not to answer, so he could only play tricks and passively answer Nicola's questions.

"Uh, actually, there is still a big gap between me and Pogba. He is the core of the team, and I am just an ordinary midfielder, at most a competent midfielder." Nicola asked about the results of his confrontation with Pogba. Zhang Xu thought for a while and replied very honestly: "Although I won most of the confrontation results, that is too."

Just halfway through speaking, the cell phone in Zhang Xu's pocket suddenly rang with a pleasant ringtone.

Zhang Xu's face brightened, he didn't care about answering Nicola's question, he immediately took out his phone, flipped through it quickly with his fingers, it turned out that it was Yang Zi who sent him a message.

At this time, it should be around ten o'clock in the evening in China, and Yang Zi was able to take the initiative to send a message, which can be regarded as a pleasant surprise for Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu hurriedly held the phone, organized his words, and replied.

"It's your friend's message?" Nicola saw the joy on Zhang Xu's face, her heart tightened, and she asked quickly.

"Uh, uh," Zhang Xu smiled awkwardly: "A friend in China can't sleep at night, so he sent me a message to chat."

"Sent a message so late? Zhang, it must be a girl, right? Haha! It must be!" Das was also attracted, laughed and teased Zhang Xu, and even reached out to grab the phone in Zhang Xu's hand.

Naturally, Zhang Xu, who is strong and strong, would not be snatched by him, but his face was also flushed, and he moved his mouth for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing Zhang Xu's expression, Das immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise: "No way, did I really guess right? Did a girl really send you a message? The spring of our super-students is finally here?"

Nicola saw Zhang Xu's blushing face, and for some reason, her heart felt like a needle prick, and her face turned pale.

For Nicola's change, her best friend Lifen naturally saw it, she hurried forward and stroked Nicola's fragrant shoulder: "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Nicola forced a smile: "Let's go!" After saying that, she walked straight forward.

Lifen looked at Nicola, who was alone, and then at Zhang Xu, who was being questioned by Das with a flushed face. She couldn't help but sighed, shook her head helplessly, and then followed Nicola's pace.

"Zhang, how did you meet this girl? Tell me the truth!" Das asked forcefully, "I remember that you were a pure boy. I never thought that there would be a time when the iron tree would bloom."

"Let's meet by chance, in Antwerp." Zhang Xu was forced to have no choice but to explain the facts one by one.

"Meet by chance? How romantic!" Darth's girlfriend Susan exclaimed, "Then where is your relationship? Have you kissed? Or hee hee!"

Although walking in front, Nicola was also silently listening to the conversation behind, but every time she heard a sentence, she felt that her heart ached so much.

"Hey hey hey, we are not what you imagined!" Zhang Xu waved his hands to distinguish: "We haven't even held hands!"

Hearing this, Nicola seemed to see hope.

Have you ever pulled your hand?Very good, from this point of view, I still have hope!
She is so far away from him, it is impossible to visit him often, and she is much closer, so she can come over at any time!
Besides, I don't believe that she will be worse than her when she competes for looks, temperament and personality?
Thinking of this, Nicola's mood suddenly improved a lot. She started talking and laughing with Lifen. Of course, her ears were still listening carefully to the conversation behind her.

"Cut, I haven't even pulled your hand, Zhang, you are so weak! You are so weak! If it were me, I would have taken it down!" Dass expressed strong contempt for Zhang Xu.

"Hmph, do you think that I, like you, only use my lower body to think about problems?" Zhang Xu immediately countered.

"Zhang, you are insulting my personality!" Das immediately jumped up and shouted: "I, I want to fight you!"

"Duel? Are you sure?" Zhang Xu stroked his arm with a half-smile.

Das looked at Zhang Xu's thick arms, and then at his slightly thin body, and suddenly became dejected: "Uh uh, well, you win! Zhang, you are really a disgusting wife!"

"Haha." Everyone laughed out loud, even Nicola couldn't help bursting into laughter.

Soon, six people came to the Belgian restaurant.

After sitting down, Zhang Xu called the waiter over and ordered the famous Belgian white wine steamed shellfish, North Sea gray shrimp with tomato, soft omelet, fried pancakes, waffles and so on.

"Oh, my God, are you Zhang?" The waiter was obviously a fan of the White Stars, and immediately recognized Zhang Xu, and shouted in surprise.

The attention of the surrounding customers was attracted by the waiter's exclamation, and they discovered Zhang Xu's existence.

However, these customers saw that there were many friends around Zhang Xu, so they politely did not come around to disturb him, but stood up one after another, raised their wine glasses, and smiled at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu also smiled and returned the greetings one by one. By the time he sat down, 5 minutes had passed.

"Zhang, I didn't expect you to be so popular here. It seems that you can be regarded as a small star!" Das said enviously.

"Not really a star, they are all loyal fans of the White Star team, so they will be very friendly to all the players of the White Star team, and I will naturally be no exception. Of course, I have performed well in the last few games, otherwise they would have scolded me long ago, haha!" Zhang Xu was humble at first, and then affirmed himself.

"Cut! I strongly despise you!" Das raised his middle finger very simply.

After chatting for a while, the dishes and snacks were quickly served.Looking at the delicious food, everyone who was already hungry and dizzy started to work immediately.

"Wow, Zhang, this steamed shellfish is really delicious, why don't you have another one! And this waffle, it's not bad, I'll have another one too. And this, this, uh, forget it, let's have another one!" Das, a foodie, didn't care about his image at all.

Others nodded in agreement as a matter of course, and even Nicola, who had a good tutor, stared at Zhang Xu expectantly.

Zhang Xu smiled. His friends had a good meal, so he naturally had no objections, so he signaled the waiter to add another serving to all the dishes.

In the middle of the meal with his friends, Zhang Xu received several messages from Yang Zi in a row. Every time, he opened it with a smile on his face, and then replied seriously.

Nicola naturally knew who he was replying to the text message, so she felt uncomfortable, but she also believed that as long as she persisted, she would definitely win the battle of love.

"Hey, Zhang, look, we eat so much, we always have to exercise to digest food, right?" After eating and drinking, Das began to think about finding the next program.

"Exercise? Just your body? Still exercising?" Zhang Xu misunderstood that Das wanted to go to extra training with him, and asked back in surprise.

"Uh uh, you're such an incomprehensible guy!" Das muttered, "The sports I'm talking about are going to night clubs, dancing or something."

"Night show?" Zhang Xu frowned: "I can't go, the coach strictly forbids me to go to the night show, or I will send you to a place, you go to play, I will not go, how?"

"Prohibition of going to nightclubs? It's too exaggerated! We are all adults!" Now, even Luo Kai and Lifen couldn't understand, and shouted loudly.

"Really! Go to a night game once, and if you find out, you will be suspended for three games!"

"Okay then, let's go, you send us there!" Das was a little unhappy, but Zhang Xu made the problem so serious that he could only agree.

At the night show, Das and others waved with Zhang Xu, and were about to open the door to enter. At this moment, Nicola suddenly said, "I'm not used to the atmosphere inside, you go in! Zhang, why don't you send me to the hotel?"

"Ah!" Everyone looked at Nicola and Zhang Xu, and asked in surprise: "You guys? Going to a hotel? Opening a room? It's too fast and too casual! But, hehe, it looks pretty good!"

"Where are you going!" Nicola realized that there were too many ambiguities in her sentence, she quickly distinguished one sentence, her face was flushed but she couldn't help but secretly glanced at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu also had a look of embarrassment on his face: "You guys can really think nonsense, go in quickly, I'll solve your living problems, and send Nicola off by the way!"

"Actually, if you are together, hehe, we don't mind! What's this called? It's called a man of talent and beauty! Haha" Das rolled his eyes and joked, but when he saw that Zhang Xu was really going to be angry, he quickly stopped his laughter, and quickly walked into the gate of the night show with his arms around Susan and Luo Kailifen.

"Let's go!" Zhang Xu smiled awkwardly at Nicola, then walked towards the hotel.

The moonlight on this night was beautiful, and it stretched the figures of the two people, one in front and one behind, looking so harmonious.

"You love that girl, don't you?" After walking for a while, and after a while of silence, Nicola asked softly.

"Who? Oh, you mean Yang Zi? Hehe, I don't know if it's love, but I really like the time I chat with her."

"That's love! Just like me, I don't know why I like that boy, what I like about him, and whether it's right or wrong for me to like him, but I just like him, and it was love at first sight!" Nicola whispered softly, her face flushed.

"Oh? You are so beautiful, that boy is so lucky! Is he also a student of our school?" Zhang Xu asked curiously.

"Yes!" Nicola looked at Zhang Xu steadfastly, with ripples of love in her eyes.

Zhang Xu couldn't stand it anymore, he coughed, turned his head unnaturally, and asked, "What's his name?"

"zhangxu!"

"Oh, Zhangxu, Zhangxu? Zhang Xu?!" Zhang Xu was dumbfounded. He turned his head and saw Nicola's affectionate eyes.

"However, he is Zhang Xu, the man I love!" Although she was very shy, Nicola replied very firmly.

"But I...I already have a daughter." Zhang Xu stammered.

"Have you confirmed the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Uh uh, this one doesn't."

"Then there is no problem, Zhang, I will pursue you hard until you accept me! I swear!"

"Uh uh, you, do you think about it again? Hey, really, think about it again, I'm really not that good."

Before Zhang Xu finished speaking, Nicola took a step forward and walked straight forward, leaving behind Zhang Xu who was completely flustered and yelled.
