my soulmate is a free man

Aunt Natasha used to be a pilot of Aeroflot, but now she has officially retired and opened a cake shop in St. Petersburg, and 300 meters east of her cake shop is the arena of the Hamster Club.

When Coach Nikolai was worried on Russian social software before, and said that he did not know how to invite the MVP of the World Youth Championship and Asian Championships to play in the Russian Super League, it was Natasha who took the initiative to come to the door and told him how to invite the Qin family in China. Sending a letter, when Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling arrived in Russia, Natasha also took the initiative to pick up the plane.

In her heart, this is the grandson of her brother and sister-in-law, so it should be taken care of easily.

Anton also came with Natasha out of the consideration of building a good relationship with the team father.

They came at the right time, because Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling were going to transfer at Sheremetyevo Airport to board the flight to St. Petersburg, but in this terrible weather, without the company and comfort of Natasha and Anton, Qin Chunxiao would 100% change the booking!

No matter how bold he was, Qin Chunxiao was also a person who was sent to the west by Air France. It was really difficult for him to get on the plane in the face of such extreme weather.

Aunt Natasha was very calm: "It's my student who is flying the plane, so a little rain is nothing."

As far as the bad weather in Russia is concerned, pilots cannot master the skills of arriving on time, taking off and landing in various extreme weathers, and cannot work at all.

Her self-confidence infected Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling, and the other passengers at the airport also looked normal, and it was time to board the plane, so Qin Chunxiao bit the bullet and went up.

Afterwards, the plane arrived on time in St. Petersburg where the wind was blowing, the plane landed as usual, and the airport bus came to pick up the passengers.

Qin Chunxiao climbed into the car despite the wind and rain, and felt that the weather in Russia was poisonous, and the breath he exhaled was white, which showed how cold it was.

In Guangzhou in October, people can still wear short sleeves, but in Moscow in October, only thick sweaters and cotton trousers can be accommodated.

Qin Chunxiao is considered to be a person in good shape, and now he is also wearing a down coat, and Li Ling is also wearing a checkered flannel coat, trembling in the cold wind, rummaging through his schoolbag, trying to pull out his scarf to wrap around it. His neck and shoulders were half wet from the rain, and Qin Chunxiao pulled him into the car impatiently.

Natasha drove them in a van from the parking lot of the airport. The car stereo was playing "Queen of Rain" along the way. Amidst the pattering rain, Qin Chunxiao actually saw seagulls flying in the wind and rain.

He had glimpsed the bird by accident, but its presence made St. Petersburg beautiful.

When they got to the place, Natasha said goodbye to the boys gracefully.

"Xiaomi Sha, come to the cake shop to find me if you have anything to do, I hope you have a good time in Russia."

After the van left, Qin Chunxiao turned to look at the hamster club. There was a huge cartoon pudding hamster above the club, and the hamster's paw was holding the pudding. It is said that this has something to do with the fact that the club's biggest gold master is a food vendor.

Anton said to Qin Chunxiao: "Let's go, the coaches have been waiting for you for a long time."

The Hamster Club attaches great importance to the two foreign players signed this time, especially the uniform team. Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling are their first attempts to sign Chinese athletes, but they came here as "champion puzzles".

The so-called uniform team on the field generally refers to people in suits, mainly referring to the team management who often appear in suits. It is generally their job to introduce new players.

Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling were taken to the dormitory to store their luggage. The dormitory building was not far from the club. They lived in a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room on the second floor. Day, the indoor light is also good.

After they settled down roughly, they arrived at the office of the uniform team, and a fat old man greeted them: "Welcome to the Hamster Club, Misha, twoleng."

This old man is Iokov who is in charge of player logistics.

Li Ling scratched his head, wondering why all these people knew his English name?

Two sets of uniforms with black background and blue border and white background and black border were placed in front of them.

"Try it, I think it will suit you well."

The Hamster Club specially vacated the No. 8 and No. 9 ball jerseys for Gemini to use, which are their numbers in the national team.

Seeing these two sets of team uniforms, Qin Chunxiao couldn't help sighing that the club had intentions, even if they came to be foreign aid, but seeing how they treat themselves with such care, why don't they work harder in the future?

No wonder the hamster club in the previous life was able to quickly re-emerge after undergoing major changes. Looking at the emotional intelligence and care for the players, success is what it should be.

The uniform team routinely asked the two guys to take a physical test.

In fact, they roughly estimated the bounce of the two as early as the World Youth Championship and the Asian Championships, but they were still amazed by the data.

Look at the wingspan which is at least 10 centimeters longer than their height, and look at their run-up height. As volleyball players, their talents are obvious to the naked eye. What's more, one is 16 years old and the other is 18 years old. There is still a long way to go. very.

Nicholas came to the venue at some time, saw Li Ling's shoulder, and several thoughts turned in his mind.

From a closer look, this guy has very flexible shoulders and a broad frame. According to the data given by Newton, his bone density is also good. He is the kind of athlete with a solid body. Isn’t this one of the most precious talents of a volleyball player-iron shoulders ?

With such a good shoulder, if you practice your technique more finely, your shots will be richer and more flexible. With the famously weird brain circuit of the player twoleng, you will be even more difficult to guard against.

Qin Chunxiao's talent lies more in his legs. He not only has a proud Achilles tendon, but also has a pair of flexible and strong titanium alloy knees and a soft waist, which endow him with powerful short-distance sprint speed and steering ability.

When he practiced sprinting, the result of 200 meters was better than that of 100 meters, because he went through the corners much more smoothly than others.

Nicholas and the uniform team waited for Qin Chunxiao's speed-related data, their eyes were straight.

An assistant coach wiped his sweat again and again: "It's really worthy of being a sprinter."

Another assistant coach lamented: "How can I play volleyball with this data? If I want this talent, I should have gone for 10 seconds earlier."

Nicholas thanked God in his heart, without his old man's skillful hand, how could such a superb product fall into his hands.

Nicholas didn't think there was anything wrong with bringing a whole group of talented sprinters to play volleyball. After all, it was all metaphysics in which field a talented athlete would win honors in the end.

This is like in the last century, there was a 13-year-old boy named Duncan who won the National Freestyle Championship.

But God was so angry that in 1989, a hurricane destroyed the swimming pool in Duncan's hometown. Duncan didn't dare to go to the sea to practice freestyle. It is said that he was afraid of being eaten by sharks in the sea, so Xiao Deng went to fight. Basketball, and finally became an NBA superstar.

Isn't this life!

Nicholas: I got the defensive UR ​​of Mishaqin, and it was destiny!

Anton also brought the new players and old teammates to know each other: "This is Mishaqin and Twoleng. They are both very good players. You have watched their games."

"Misha, this is our support for Alexander. The main attack is Oleg, and the secondary attack is Danny."

Qin Chunxiao remembers the name very quickly, like Alexander, he is the support of the Russian national team, he looks like a humanoid tiger, strong and fierce, not talkative, with deep brown eyes, last year it was because of his injury that caused the hamster problem bad.

The main attacker Oleg has a big beard. I heard that his family has a Taoist background, and this person is very famous on the Internet in later generations, because this guy looks like a two-meter version of a bean after shaving. Playing volleyball is because his ancestral career cannot accommodate that face.

Deputy attacker Danny is [-] meters tall, with slender and strong arms. He is a typical blocker. When he greeted Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling, he was very gentle and friendly. He seemed to be a nice guy.

In addition, there is a supporter who transferred from Argentina, named Soso, he is good at serving, he is Latino, brown-skinned and blue-eyed, with a warm smile and cat-like pupils.

Substitute setter Gran, 1.9 meters tall, born in [-], the big brother in the team, has rich experience. After Anton came, he played a free agent on the field from time to time, but this is only because his first pass ranks first in the club, no His first pass is strong.

The nickname of the Russian Super League is Er Cao. One can imagine what kind of rough men this is. Qin Chunxiao's first pass skills are in the eyes of... Oh, let's not mention it.

Anton coughed and said in English: "Misha, twoleng, welcome to join the big family of Hamster Club, we are a great team, I believe that as long as we work together, we can achieve good results, and... ..."

He balabala said a lot, and it can be seen that he is working very hard to make himself a qualified master. Qiao Mingming also came to such a period when he was appointed as the captain of the national team before, but he soon discovered that managing bears depends on Dundun, the management of Dundun depends on the deputy team.

So Qiao Mingming acquiesced that the small things in the team have the final say, and the deputy team has the final say on the big things. As for what is big and what is small, it is up to the coach to judge.

But Qin Chunxiao still gave Anton a lot of face, he always had a smile on his face, and Anton nodded at everything, which made Anton very happy, and looked at Mi Shaqin with much gentler eyes.

Before Mishaqin came, Anton was worried that the opponent was too used to him by his teammates in the Chinese team, had a big temper, and was difficult to manage. He didn't expect to get along so well.

He sincerely thanked the coach in his heart: Thank you, Nicholas, for digging back such a good foreign aid for me.

Then they trained together, running around the arena, doing moderate strength training, and a 3vs3 practice match, with Qin Chunxiao, Anton, and Alexander in a group, Li Ling, Oleg, and Gran in a group, and Qin Chunxiao's side The player's personal strength is stronger, so he won a big victory, but Li Ling's team also evaluated him very well.

Afterwards, they did stretching together after training, and then made an appointment to have dinner together, which was regarded as a welcome for the two Chinese guys.

Qin Chunxiao's [-]/[-] Slavic ancestry and his astonishing Russian proficiency made him easy to win the favor of everyone in the club.

A 16-year-old boy came to his grandfather's hometown, spoke the language of this land, had a pair of clear blue eyes, and his professionalism was good, so no one would mind showing some kindness to him.

As for Er Leng, his character is destined to make him feel at ease wherever he is, because he usually doesn't have too complicated things in his mind, which is also one of the important factors that make his thinking elusive.

Anton drove them to the shopping mall again, and recommended that they buy a duvet, but not too thick, because the indoor heating has started here, and the club's dormitory has floor heating.

But on the way back to the dormitory, Li Ling asked Qin Chunxiao curiously: "Xiaozi, are you tired?"

When Qin Chunxiao heard this, he felt himself first, and confirmed that he was still energetic enough to go out for a half-marathon, and then asked in confusion: "Do I look tired?"

Li Ling gave a thumbs up: "You are super energetic, but I think when you chat with people in those clubs, uh, your attitude is different from usual."

Li Ling couldn't tell exactly why it was different, but anyway, Qin Chunxiao had changed a lot compared to back home.

Li Ling remembers that when he and Qin Chunxiao participated in the national youth training camp, Qin Chunxiao was carrying big bags, leading him and Fu Biyang, his face was full of irritability, and he was even more irritable when he was playing. He and the others quickly became close friends.

However, Qin Chunxiao's attitude when interacting with the players of the Russian club is like making superficial friends. Although they are all friends, the core is far from it.

Qin Chunxiao didn't expect Li Ling to be able to detect such subtle things at all, he looked the fool up and down in surprise, and a thought flashed through his mind - I heard that the water in the husky's brain will be frozen when it is in a cold area Live, IQ will be able to re-occupy the high ground.

However, it is also possible that Li Ling's IQ skyrocketed not because he changed places, but because he has been growing up all the time, but Qin Chunxiao only realized it today.

With this kind of parents-like mentality, Qin Chunxiao put his hands in his pockets and explained: "There is a prerequisite for making friends. First of all, we must have the same standpoint. This is the basis for us to work and live together. Next, it is best to have similar cultural backgrounds. , so that there are topics to talk about, and when we get along, if our personalities match, we might be able to become friends."

Li Ling answered quickly, "It's like me and you."

Qin Chunxiao nodded: "Yes, but Russia is different. I have never been here. The environment and culture here are very strange. You know, I don't know if talking casually will offend others, so I just want to be more cautious. , take a more polite attitude."

But being too polite is often alienation, and when Qin Chunxiao talked to these new teammates who met for the first time, he also relied on his observation of them to cater to their topics as much as possible.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to establish a healthy and close relationship, but Qin Chunxiao will not be discouraged by this, because as long as the personalities are compatible, he will definitely have new friends after waiting for a long time.

Just like him and Lu Xuandong, the two were unfamiliar at first, but now they are also friends who can complain about the troublesome exams.

Li Ling blinked, always feeling that what Xiaozai said made him feel very warm, not because of the content of the words, but because Qin Chunxiao was willing to say these things to him, which was very warm.

And Xiao Zai is amazing, just arrived in a place where he is not familiar with, and he can immediately face interpersonal relationships with such a mature attitude, like Li Ling who is still muddle-headed, making friends is all based on instinct.

Li Ling never dissected himself like Qin Chunxiao did, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He just smiled: "So Xiaozi, you are just adapting to the new environment, so I don't worry."

Qin Chunxiao put her arms around Li Ling: "Go back and rest. Before going to bed, I have to send a message to your family to tell them that you have settled down."

Li Ling replied happily: "Okay, I took a lot of photos today, and I even took a group photo with Alexander. He is the best attacker in Russia. My parents and my brother must be happy to see it."

In fact, all the basketball fans in the Li family don’t have a deep understanding of volleyball. The Li family’s parents and Li Yan may not know Alexander, because with the rise of the Russian genius and the rise of the left-handed beast Roman, the momentum of Alexander, a violent tiger, is not as good as before.

Qin Chunxiao roughly cleaned the room, turned out his luggage, folded it neatly, contacted his family, sat cross-legged on the floor, looked around the 30-square-meter room, and felt that it would be good to live here for a year or so.

Moreover, St. Petersburg is a coastal city. If you get closer to the window, you can hear the faint sound of the tide and smell the humid sea breeze.

As always, his father refused to accept phone calls, so Qin Chunxiao only sent WeChat. His mother answered the phone and babbled for a long time. His sister asked him if he could adapt to the environment and asked him to send some smeared hyaluronic acid back.

There were also grandparents, who were worried about whether Qin Chunxiao could adapt to the language environment here. Qin Chunxiao replied that he understood the street signs on the side of the road, at least there was no need to worry about him getting lost.

Then there are coaches, other teammates, and friends, Qin Chunxiao also sent messages one by one, until 22:00, he started to feel sleepy again.

He sent a message to the bottom of the mailing list.

Qin Chunxiao [Arrived safely at the Hamster Club, the coaches and teammates are good, the physical test went well, and the jersey number is still No. 8, which is the number vacated for me by the club. 】

There was no response from the other side, Qin Chunxiao covered the quilt, and lay on the bouncy latex pillow, when there was a sudden reply.

Lu Xuandong [I am attending a music festival in Canada. 】

This guy went to Canada again?

Qin Chunxiao [You have had a wonderful life after retiring from the circle. 】

Lu Xuandong [I want to travel more places, have you heard of "Whatawonderful world"? 】

What a wonderful world?

Qin Chunxiao tried to translate it, and felt that the English passage could be understood as - what a wonderful world this is.

Qin Chunxiao 【I haven't heard of it, but I want to. 】

Lu Xuandong sent a video.

Qin Chunxiao connected, the camera shakes a little, Lu Xuandong is sitting by the piano, fingering a fluent piano sound on the keys, singing a jazz song while playing.

The tune is like a love song, but it doesn't sound like a confession to a specific person, but more like expressing love to the world.

The world is terrible, and it always brings pain and suffering to people, but Lu Xuandong has overcome those things, so now, he can love all these things.

Lu Xuandong is in love with this world.

After that, Lu Xuandong sent another video call application, Qin Chunxiao connected, and in the shaking video, Lu Xuandong sang the classic song "Kiss Me Deep".

Qin Chunxiao couldn't tell whether the Spanish he sang was standard or not, but the guy got stuck halfway through the song, and he held his throat and coughed several times, not sure if he was choking on the saliva, anyway, he looked very uncomfortable. It's a good look.

Qin Chunxiao【Is your throat uncomfortable?Do you want me to find someone to send you throat lozenges? 】

Team Xiaoqin is in Russia, so he doesn't know where to buy a golden voice, and if he wants to send throat lozenges, he can only ask his friends in China.

It took a long time for the other side to reply.

Lu Xuandong [No need. 】

mysterious group

Group owner [Brother Dong is going to Canada to play~ Seeing the fan shoot of overseas students over there collecting hairdressing, Brother Dong's singing skills have become stronger again!Could this man be a god? 】

Vest No. 2 [His current singing skills are definitely A-level!Below A I wash my hair upside down! 】

Vest No. 5 [How many post-95 singers will have reached this level in internal entertainment?It seems to be this one, right?Brother Dong Niubi, no, he seems to have quit the circle. 】

Vest No. 8 [Brother Dong is so chic now, he wants to go wherever he wants to go, this time he is also performing with one of the hottest bands at the music festival, and he is on par with the band's leading guitarist oneonone, can you believe it? 】

Vest No. 3 [Tsk tsk, this man is a treasure, but unfortunately he quit QAQ. 】

Vest No. 1 [Not only Brother Dong retired from the circle, but the Xiaoqin team also went to play in Russia. The two of them are far away from each other. I feel that even if you are a young genius, it is difficult to talk to two people who are so far apart, alas——]

Vest No. 4 [Fortunately, Brother Dong has not given up on music completely, and knows to show his face at the music festival to have fun, otherwise he will really have to live on the food he left before he retired. 】

The group leader [Hahaha, his second video was so fun, he suddenly got stuck halfway through the song, and then he covered his face in embarrassment, it must have been a mess hahaha, I guess it’s been a long time since I’ve been on stage, and such a small mess, But he is still so cute~]

Vest No. 2 [Ahhhh! Mrs. Yomi has posted again! 】

Vest No. 3 [Eh?Those two people are all over the world, does Mrs. Yomi still have the motivation to create?As expected of her!What did she write this time? 】

Vest No. 2 [Ms. yomi wrote this time the AU short story of Brother Dong and Team Qin, and the two are hidden soul mates in the article, so whenever Brother Dong thinks of Team Qin while singing a love song, he will immediately get stuck I can't continue singing hahaha, the setting that the hidden soul mate can't make a sound before the countdown can still be played like this! 】

Group leader【Hey! 】

Vest No. 4 [Hey!This pair of CP suddenly became popular again! 】

Vest No. 5 [Mrs. Yomi, my little genius for rubbing heat. 】

The news of Lu Xuandong's appearance at a certain jazz festival in Canada became a trending topic in China. It's true that I have quit the circle, and there are still legends about me in the circle.

But Qin Chunxiao quickly adapted to the increasingly cold St. Petersburg.

Coach Nicola is worthy of being a great coach with the same reputation as Mars and Lorenzo. If Mars is good at finding suitable positions and development directions for players, and Lorenzo is good at training muscular men, Nicola is a typical godfather coach.

Nicola is familiar with "Emotional Intelligence", and he is very good at giving players chicken soup for the soul, encouraging them to plunge into Sparta's training, and he is willing to use the resources in his hands to train players.

The specific performance is that he can contact extremely strong teams to do sparring for them.

Nicola's teaching philosophy is as follows: play a few more difficult games, and then leave the problems to the players to solve themselves. As long as the players stand my test, one day, he will become the leader of other teams. Difficult problem.

In addition, Nicola also personally drove the bus to take them to the field team building, saying that it was to cultivate team harmony.

Qin Chunxiao learned many skills with this group of newly-acquainted teammates in a short period of time, such as bird shooting under Oleg's teaching, props from Oleg's father, driving, riding a motorcycle, darts, Fishing, tree climbing, building shelters and fires in the wild, CPR and trauma first aid.

Qin Chunxiao: Wait, what did I come to Russia for?Why do I have to learn these things?And I actually learned it all in such a short time!

When Qin Chunxiao was confused, Alexander passed by and said naturally: "CPR is very practical in competitive sports. My last coach came to watch our game after he retired, and he had a heart attack halfway through. If it wasn't for Nicola to do it for him With CPR, he's gone."

Qin Chunxiao: "Is that coach okay?"

Alexander was expressionless: "It's not very good. He likes to drink, his liver is not good, and he has recently started to show symptoms of dementia. He only remembers the names of the players he has brought."

Qin Chunxiao showed apology: "I'm sorry..." Bringing up such a sad topic.

Alexander: "It's okay."

He solemnly said: "He will come to every game of mine and applaud me, that's enough."

And on October 10, the first game of the Hamster Club in the Russian Super League will officially start.

The day after tomorrow is January 10.

Qin Chunxiao's expression became serious.
