Chapter 133 South Stand

When Mark and Zhou Yi finished their day of training and got into the car driven by Mark's father to return home.

Mark found an envelope on the passenger seat.

Usually, there was nothing there, and their training backpacks were placed in the trunk.

"What's this, Dad?" Mark asked curiously.

"Open it and see," old Wagner said without explaining.

Mark opened the envelope, and four tickets appeared in front of him.

"This…" Mark didn't understand.

"Tomorrow afternoon, we're going to watch Borussia Dortmund play Werder Bremen at home," old Wagner said simply while driving.

Mark was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly screamed, startling Zhou Yi next to him.

Just as Zhou Yi was looking at Mark strangely, Mark's eyes were about to overflow with tears, and he said excitedly to Zhou Yi, "Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, I'm going to the Südtribüne to watch the game!"

Zhou Yi then understood: "Westfalenstadion’s… Südtribüne?"

Mark nodded vigorously, but he was too excited to speak. Then his tears burst out and ran down his cheeks.

Zhou Yi was still taken aback by Mark. It's just going to a game… is it that important?

Back home, Mrs. Wagner confirmed the news to Mark and Zhou Yi, and told Zhou Yi that he would also go.

"There's a ticket for me?"

Mrs. Wagner raised the four tickets in Zhou Yi's hand: "Originally, this was for our family of four. Shortly after Kotana was born, we registered her as a member of Borussia Dortmund and bought season tickets in her name every year. But unfortunately, Kotana doesn't seem to like football. We only took her to the Südtribüne when she was very young, but when she grew up and became sensible, she never went again."

Zhou Yi thought of Kotana's appearance and felt that she was indeed the type of person who would do such a thing.

"So you're using Kotana's season ticket."

"But… it's in her name, can I use it?" Zhou Yi asked, pointing to the season ticket.

"Of course, season tickets are transferable," Mrs. Wagner explained. "But in reality, few people transfer their tickets, even if they can't go, they won't easily transfer a Südtribüne ticket. You know, it's a Südtribüne ticket!"

Speaking of the Südtribüne, Mrs. Wagner's tone was very proud.

As a football fan, Zhou Yi had long heard of the Südtribüne of Westfalenstadion. But all along, he had only learned about it through news reports, knowing that it was a gathering place for Borussia Dortmund's hardcore fans, and that the atmosphere there was fiery, which was an important factor in Westfalenstadion becoming a devil's home stadium.

Zhou Yi never thought that he would have the opportunity to go to the Südtribüne to watch a game. Shouldn't this be the highest honor a Borussia Dortmund fan could give himself?

The Südtribüne of Westfalenstadion is not a place you can go just because you want to.

※※※

The next day, Borussia Dortmund's youth training was only half a day, which was also normal, as it wasn't every day that they had two training sessions.

Today's training was scheduled for the morning.

After the morning training, Zhou Yi didn't do an extra half-hour of training for the first time, but went home with Mark.

They had to quickly finish lunch and then go to the stadium to watch the game together.

This match was a Bundesliga game, with Borussia Dortmund playing Werder Bremen at home.

If it had been six or seven years ago, the meeting of these two teams could have been considered a clash of the strong. At that time, Borussia Dortmund had just won the league championship every two years, while Werder Bremen was fighting for the league championship.

Now, Werder Bremen had fallen quite badly, currently ranking eleventh this season.

And Borussia Dortmund's ranking was not high either, ranking ninth.

But this game could be regarded as a contest between direct competitors. Because the two teams were only four points apart, if Werder Bremen could beat Borussia Dortmund away, they would close in on their opponents in the standings, and if Borussia Dortmund could beat Werder Bremen, their league ranking would hopefully move forward again.

So this game was also considered a highly anticipated match.

Especially in the hearts of Borussia Dortmund fans.

The Wagner family and Zhou Yi, who were going to watch the game, did not choose to drive, because Mrs. Wagner explained that the roads around the stadium were very congested on match days. If they drove, they wouldn't be able to get home for a long time. The best way was to choose public transportation and take the train.

Zhou Yi didn't care. He also wanted to experience how ordinary Borussia Dortmund fans watched the game. He had been in Dortmund for so long, and this was his first time watching a Borussia Dortmund home game.

Mrs. Wagner had also explained this to Zhou Yi. In theory, they should have taken Zhou Yi to watch the game when he first arrived at their house. However, during that time, Mrs. Wagner herself had just recovered from a serious illness, and her body was not very good. The doctor did not recommend that she go to the scene, especially to watch the game in the Südtribüne.

"...That doctor said that if I had to watch the game, I should buy a seat ticket and stay away from the Südtribüne…" Mrs. Wagner said to Zhou Yi as she walked, "It's a ghost! I went to the scene to watch the game to stand on the Südtribüne. If I can't go to the Südtribüne, why should I go? So I didn't watch the game during that time. Later, Mark started playing games, and there were some conflicting times, so this matter has been delayed…"

"It's okay, Mrs. Wagner." Zhou Yi was too embarrassed to say that he didn't want to watch Borussia Dortmund's games before. He was afraid that Mrs. Wagner would be angry if he said that…

He raised the brim of his baseball cap and looked around. Now they had come out of the train station and were following the crowd towards Westfalenstadion. All the people around him were Borussia Dortmund fans wearing yellow or black clothes. He stood on tiptoes, trying to look back, and couldn't see the end at a glance. It was estimated that the team extended all the way to the train station. He jumped up again to look ahead. Outside Westfalenstadion was a sea of yellow and black, with countless rivers of yellow and black converging there, and Zhou Yi was only in one of them.

This scene was really spectacular.

※※※

Outside Westfalenstadion, Zhou Yi already felt that the scene he saw was spectacular.

But when he entered the stadium, he realized that he was still too inexperienced…

After Mr. and Mrs. Wagner went to the ticket window to pick up the tickets, the four of them came to the security checkpoint.

The security check at Westfalenstadion was not strict. Mobile phones, cameras, wallets, coins, and flagpoles could be brought in, but food and drinks were not allowed. This was to ensure the sales of food stores in the stadium.

Zhou Yi and the others had lunch, so they naturally didn't need to buy food, but they always needed drinks.

Mr. and Mrs. Wagner bought a liter of beer for themselves, a cup of juice for their son Mark, who was under eighteen, and… a cup of beer for Zhou Yi.

"Football and beer are indispensable." Seeing Zhou Yi's hesitation, Mrs. Wagner smiled. "It's okay, drinking occasionally doesn't matter."

Zhou Yi then took the beer glass printed with the portrait of Borussia Dortmund captain Kehl.

"By the way, Zhou Yi. Do you need to go to the bathroom?" Mark asked from the side.

"I'm… okay for now." Zhou Yi's urge to urinate was not very strong.

But Mark shook his head: "I suggest you go with me once, otherwise it won't be easy for you to come later after the game starts."

Zhou Yi understood this. It's like watching a movie. Who would want to go to the bathroom during a tense and exciting film? What if the male and female protagonists go to bed while you're in the bathroom? That would be a pity.

Watching a game is the same. It would be a pity to miss a goal if you go to the bathroom…

So Zhou Yi handed the drink to Mrs. Wagner again and went to the bathroom with Mark. There were really many people going to the bathroom before the game, so there were queues at the doors of several bathrooms. They waited for a while before they were able to enter and solve the problem.

After coming out with the drinks, the four of them walked up again. When Zhou Yi stepped on the last step, what first came into view was the green field and the opposite stands. Then he turned around and saw the steep… Südtribüne behind him.

No plastic seats, only concrete steps and railings on the Südtribüne.

Zhou Yi's first impression of the Südtribüne was… how steep this stand is!

Looking up from below, the audience on the top floor seemed to be about to fall down from above if they were not careful. And this was not Zhou Yi's illusion, because there were many several-meter-long, half-person-high railings on the Südtribüne. They were densely arranged in the layers of the Südtribüne, which made Zhou Yi feel very strange.

Many people had already gathered on the Südtribüne. Most of them dressed the same as the Wagner family, with scarves around their necks and wrists, and wearing Borussia Dortmund jerseys or yellow and black jackets—many of which were uniform styles, which should be the uniforms of various fan organizations. Zhou Yi and the Wagner family were also wearing the same style of uniforms. Zhou Yi guessed that the Wagner family should also belong to a certain fan organization.

The railings were covered with scarves, flags, slogans, and banners. People stood in their respective positions chatting, or scurrying around nearby to greet acquaintances.

The Wagner family also had people greeting them. When they came to their positions, the people around them were very surprised.

"Old Wagner!?" A fat man with a bald head but a dense circle of hair around it, looking like he was wearing a brown hat, shouted loudly after seeing them. "Am I seeing ghosts?" He exaggeratedly rubbed his eyes.

Then he laughed and gave old Wagner a hug. "Welcome home!"

"Are you feeling better, Amy?" Then he went to hug Mrs. Wagner.

"Thank you for your concern, Bruno 'Dad'. Much better, otherwise how could I come to the Südtribüne?" Mrs. Wagner. "When I first recovered, the doctor didn't allow me to come to the Südtribüne to watch the game. He said to me, if I had to watch the game, I would buy a seat ticket…"

Hearing Mrs. Wagner's words, the bald fat man Bruno waved his hand: "Don't listen to the doctor's nonsense, they are always good at exaggerating. Sitting down to watch the game is spineless!"

"Yes! We are all Südtribüne people!" Mrs. Wagner agreed with this view very much. Watching the game requires standing the whole time.

Bruno smiled and came up to hug Mark: "Ah, Mark, when was the last time you came to the Südtribüne? A year ago? Are you still in u17?"

"Bruno 'Dad', I'm in u19 now," Mark said with a smile.

Zhou Yi could feel Mark's change. Since coming to the Südtribüne, Mark had become different from his usual appearance of being unconfident and looking up to him. He had a confident smile on his face, and there was a feeling of "this is his territory". He was like he had returned to his own home… no, even more relaxed and comfortable than returning to his own home.

"u19? Oh! God! Then I can see you playing in the Südtribüne soon?" Bruno's tone, expression, and movements were all exaggerated.

"I just joined u19, Bruno 'Dad'. I haven't played a game yet," Mark said.

"That's not important, Mark. As long as you join u19, you have the opportunity to become a Borussia Dortmund first-team player. If you can play for the first team then, 'Dad' will lead our 'Black and Yellow' people here to shout your name! Just like this…"

As Bruno spoke, he took a stance, took a deep breath, and then waved his arms and shouted: "Mark Wagner! Mark Wagner! Mark Wagner! I watched him grow up—!!"

The people around him who were wearing the same uniforms laughed, and Mark also laughed, with a bit of shyness in his smile. This may be the first time he heard his name being shouted out in the form of a fan's cheer…

While everyone was still laughing, Bruno had already shifted his gaze to Zhou Yi next to Mark. He looked at Mrs. Wagner with some doubt.

"Ah." Mrs. Wagner quickly stood next to Zhou Yi, held his shoulders, and said to Bruno, and also to the members of the "Black and Yellow" fan association around him. "This is who I want to solemnly introduce. He is our Borussia Dortmund u19's genius player, from China… Zhou Yi!"

Zhou Yi quickly waved to everyone: "Hi, everyone. Mark and I are teammates and also… roommates."

"That's right, Zhou Yi lives in our house and is Mark's good friend."

Hearing his mother say this, Mark nodded from the side as proof.

Since he was Mark's good friend and lived in the Wagner's house, the other members of the fan association greeted Zhou Yi one after another.

"u19 player?" Bruno hesitated a bit after hearing Mrs. Wagner's introduction, because looking at Zhou Yi's build, he didn't look like someone who could play in u19. However, he quickly suppressed his inner doubts about Zhou Yi and gave Zhou Yi a very enthusiastic hug: "Welcome, Chinese boy. Is this your first time coming to the Südtribüne? I hope you won't be scared, haha!"

"I'm responsible for maintaining order in our area. You have to listen to me later, okay? For everyone to watch the game better, you still have to abide by some order. They all call me 'Dad'. If you don't mind, you can call me that too. Haha!"

Bruno loved to laugh, and his laughter was loud and hearty, giving Zhou Yi a good first impression, so Zhou Yi also nodded with a smile and said, "No problem, I'll listen to you, 'Dad'!"

Seeing Zhou Yi say this, Bruno patted him on the shoulder happily: "Get ready to enjoy football!"

※※※

What Zhou Yi first enjoyed was not football, but the fan chorus on the Südtribüne.

After they took their seats, the Südtribüne was quickly filled. Soon, Zhou Yi was surrounded by people in all directions, so crowded that he had to stand slightly sideways, otherwise he couldn't even pull out his arms.

At this time, he understood why Mark wanted him to unload his cargo before the game. Looking at the dense crowd below, it was simply impossible to squeeze out a path to go to the bathroom!

After the fans had almost arrived, music began to play in the stadium's broadcast, which was Borussia Dortmund's official team song "We are firmly united".

At first, not everyone would sing along. Until the end of the last section, the Borussia Dortmund fans in the Südtribüne and other stands would wave their arms and sing loudly: "Only one, only one - Borussia Dortmund will never die!!"

The team song then ended.

Next, a majestic symphonic melody sounded in the stadium. This was a music excerpt from the second scene of the second act of Verdi's four-act opera "Aida", called "Triumphal March". Accompanied by the magnificent music and the fans' "Sha la la la la la" chorus in the stands, the players from both sides ran out to warm up.

Zhou Yi focused his attention on the Borussia Dortmund first-team players. Some of these people will be his teammates in the future…

It was a pity that the stands were too high and the people looked very small, so he couldn't see them very clearly. However, he turned his head and saw a large screen on the side of the stand, which was broadcasting the television broadcast signal of the players warming up. He can now recognize those stars one by one.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, Brazilian sideback Dede, centerback Subotic, Korean sideback Lee Young-pyo, captain Sebastian Kehl, forward Valdez, Turkish genius Nuri Sahin, who came out of Borussia Dortmund's youth training, and Schmelzer, an excellent defender also trained by Borussia Dortmund…

When the players were warming up, the atmosphere on the Südtribüne was relatively relaxed. Apart from everyone standing, Zhou Yi didn't think there was anything special about this legendary Südtribüne.

But when the warm-up ended, some black and white old photos appeared on the big screen, showing a player wearing a Borussia Dortmund jersey and holding up a salad plate. The broadcast said: "All theories are gray, only the field can determine the outcome."

A middle-aged man in a yellow shirt appeared on the field with a microphone, and there was a camera lens following him next to him.

"This is the stadium's host!" Mark explained to Zhou Yi, who was watching the game live for the first time, because there were too many people and the sound was too noisy, so even though he was close to Zhou Yi, he had to speak loudly. "Norbert Dickel! We all call him 'Nobby'! He is also a Borussia Dortmund legend. He scored twice in the 1989 German Cup final to help us win 4:1 and win the German Cup! And our opponent at that time was today's opponent Werder Bremen! If Nobby hadn't been plagued by injuries, I think he would definitely have achieved greater success at Borussia Dortmund!"

Nobby walked to the center of the field, holding a microphone and said: "Friends, welcome to Signal Iduna Park…"

"It's Westfalenstadion!" A fan next to Zhou Yi corrected loudly.

In order to alleviate the financial crisis, Borussia Dortmund sold the naming rights of the stadium in exchange for sponsorship fees. However, Borussia Dortmund fans have always been accustomed to calling the stadium Westfalenstadion, rather than the awkward Signal Iduna Park…

Of course, Nobby, as the club's official host, naturally had to consider the interests of the sponsors. Even if he emotionally preferred the old name of Westfalenstadion, he couldn't say it on this occasion.

He continued: "...Watch the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, our home game against Werder Bremen. First, let us say hello to the Werder Bremen fans who have come from afar!"

He turned to face the away team's fan area and waved: "Hello, welcome to the best stadium in the world!!"

What responded to him was boos from the dissatisfied Werder Bremen fans.

The fans next to Zhou Yi laughed. Obviously, they all knew that Nobby was deliberately emphasizing the point of "the best stadium in the world" to anger the Werder Bremen fans. The host greeted the away team fans before the game, looking very friendly? Actually not at all!

Nobby turned a blind eye to the boos from the away team fans, turned around and continued: "Of course, we also have to give applause to all the yellow and black fans who have come to watch the game! Our tickets are sold out again! More than 80,000 spectators on the scene again! Welcome the best fans in the league, welcome - Borussia Dortmund fans!!"

All the Borussia Dortmund fans in the stands raised their arms and responded loudly.

Zhou Yi followed Mark and did the same.

"Good job, Chinese boy. You look like a real Borussia Dortmund fan!" Behind him, Bruno patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

After the welcome speech, Nobby walked specifically to the bottom of the Südtribüne, facing the Südtribüne. At the same time, some changes also took place in the Südtribüne.

Mark raised his scarf and raised his arms excitedly, saying: "Our ceremony is here, this is our ceremony!"

Immediately afterwards, before Zhou Yi could react, the music sounded with a chorus.

It was actually "You'll Never Walk Alone"!

Although this song is Liverpool's official team song, it has also become a common fan song and is sung at the home stadiums of clubs in many countries around the world.

At this point, the atmosphere on the scene was gradually pushed to a climax.

Zhou Yi also followed Mark, holding the two ends of the scarf with both hands, raising his arms and pulling them apart. The scarf was displayed, and he waved his arms while singing along.

At first, he was a little out of it, but soon he found some feeling in the chorus.

Tens of thousands of people singing a song together is really shocking and will cause a mental impact.

He began to integrate into this stand, into those people who were crazy about football, because he himself was also such a person who loved football…

At this time, looking around the Südtribüne, all that could be seen were yellow and black scarves, like a "wall" 100 meters long and 40 meters high built from yellow and black bricks!

A yellow and black wall!

Flags fluttered on the wall, the wind was surging, and the singing was deafening. This was the Südtribüne of Westfalenstadion!

※※※

After the chorus ended, Nobby began to announce Borussia Dortmund's starting lineup for this game.

Zhou Yi had always thought that the starting lineup was played by the live DJ in the studio, but today he learned that they were actually standing on the field and leading everyone to shout out the names of the players.

"Number one, goalkeeper, Roman—"

Nobby announced the player's name, and the Borussia Dortmund fans in the stands collectively shouted out the player's last name: "Weidenfeller!!"

At the same time, the player's photo, name, number, and other information also appeared on the big screen.

"Number four, defender, Neven—"

"Subotic!!"

Zhou Yi also shouted along with everyone, while imagining in his heart that one day, when his name was also shouted out like this…

"Number twenty-three, midfielder, Yi—"

"Zhou!!!"

When things were getting heated, Zhou Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong - shouting it out like this seemed to be saying "one week", what the hell is a week? He was not used to this reversed way of calling the name. It seemed that he had to remind Nobby in the future that if he wanted to introduce him, he should call him according to the habits of us Chinese…

After introducing the starting players and substitutes, the last one who was solemnly introduced was the head coach.

"Jurgen—"

"Klopp!!!"

From the shouts of the fans, it could be heard that although Borussia Dortmund's current results were not very good, Klopp's position in their hearts was still very high. This was not because of the team's results. Their love for Klopp stemmed more from Klopp's own personality charm.

※※※

After the game started, Zhou Yi's ears were always filled with various shouts and songs. There was not a moment of silence. He even wondered if the sound would linger in his ears for three days…

As the game progressed, Zhou Yi also gradually began to feel the difference of the Südtribüne.

Because people here were standing to watch the game, and there were a large number of them—there were many teams in the Bundesliga whose home stadiums had standing seats, but Borussia Dortmund's Westfalenstadion had the most standing seats—25,000 people.

With so many people gathered together, even if they only made one syllable, it would be enough to create a huge impact on the sky above the stadium.

Not to mention that the Südtribüne was very close to the field and had an extremely steep slope, so that the fans in the bottom row could almost touch the knees of the goalkeeper in front of them.

Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese, who was standing in front of this stand in the first half, was playing under this kind of pressure—every time Borussia Dortmund attacked, it would cause huge shouts from the Südtribüne, and if Wiese blocked Borussia Dortmund's shot, there would immediately be boos and curses aimed at him from the Südtribüne.

Songs, shouts, boos, curses… The Borussia Dortmund fans standing on the Südtribüne did not let themselves rest for a second. They seemed tireless, releasing their emotions to the fullest, and throwing the rigid impression of Germans to the back of their minds.

Here, unlike the seating and VIP areas, there were still differences in identity. As long as you stood on the Südtribüne, then no matter what your identity was outside the stadium, whether you were a university professor, an ordinary worker, a student, or a mother of several children… it didn't matter.

Here, you are the most hardcore and loyal Borussia Dortmund fan. 25,000 people gathered together just because of the Borussia Dortmund football club. No matter whether these people believe in Protestantism or Catholicism… Different religious beliefs were irrelevant here at this moment, because Borussia Dortmund was the common faith of all of them.

Just like the fans on the Südtribüne sang: "Our life, all our pride and joy, are only for BvB!!"

Zhou Yi was in it. If anyone asked him in the future what it felt like to watch a Borussia Dortmund game on the Südtribüne of Westfalenstadion, although he could usually talk eloquently and ramble endlessly, he would now find it difficult to describe this feeling in words.

If he didn't want to say clichés like "this has an irresistible attraction to me" or "this is a close connection between fans and the team", he could only suggest that the other party experience it in person.

If you don't stand here, you will never understand why there are so many famous hardcore fans gathering on the "Südtribüne" and "North Stand" in the world, but only the "Südtribüne" of Westfalenstadion is the most famous. It's not just because of the large number of people it can accommodate… There really is an invisible force impacting the hearts of everyone who stands here.

At least Zhou Yi himself felt that he was gradually melting in this passionate storm.

Choosing Borussia Dortmund in the first place was not because he was a Borussia Dortmund fan. The reason why he played for Borussia Dortmund was different from Mark. He just thought that Borussia Dortmund valued himself more. Under Klopp, he might have more opportunities to play, which was beneficial to his career.

This was completely based on his own interests, which was objective and rational, but also cold.

But now, after following Mark and the others in the Südtribüne and shouting and singing for dozens of minutes, in addition to a hoarse voice, Zhou Yi gradually gained another kind of emotion - he was willing to wear Borussia Dortmund's yellow shirt for these crazy fans and run all out on this field, send out wonderful passes, help the team score goals and win, just to hear the Südtribüne fans shout his name.

When he was recording the "Green Inheritance" program, he played a week of games in the virtual system with Borussia Dortmund u17. The venue he chose was this Westfalenstadion. At that time, it was also a full house, and the stadium was very noisy during the game, filled with fans' songs and cheers.

But after playing so many games in the virtual system, Zhou Yi's understanding and feelings about this stadium were not as deep as they are now.

Because the system can perfectly simulate the sounds in reality, even the decibels. But the feelings of each person standing on this stand who makes this sound for Borussia Dortmund, and the story behind this feeling, cannot be simulated by even the most perfect system.

※※※

In the sixty-fourth minute, Borussia Dortmund's starting forward, Swiss player Alexander Frei, broke the deadlock for Borussia Dortmund with a penalty kick.

When the football flew into the goal, everyone in the Südtribüne jumped up excitedly and rushed down to hug each other. Zhou Yi and Mark were pushed down by the excited fans behind them until they were stopped by the railings.

Zhou Yi then realized that those short railings that were spread all over the Südtribüne were not only used for everyone to tie scarves and hang banners…

In the end, with Frei's penalty kick, Borussia Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 1-0 at home and achieved a key victory.

And Zhou Yi, who had watched a Borussia Dortmund game live in the Südtribüne for the first time, was also very difficult to calm down and evaluate the team's performance at this moment. He was still immersed in the atmosphere of the Südtribüne and hadn't recovered.

Mark, who was not watching the game in the Südtribüne for the first time, was not much better than Zhou Yi.

At the end of the game, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yi and said to him with tears in his eyes: "Zhou Yi, do you know? When I was standing here watching the game, I suddenly remembered my self-defeating behavior a few days ago. I deleted the character you built for me in the game… Now that I think about it, I'm really an idiot! A fool!"

"I have been a fan of this team since I was born. My biggest dream in life is to represent Borussia Dortmund in Westfalenstadion, to play under the Südtribüne. I want to have Bruno 'Dad' and the others shout my name like that. I want to help Borussia Dortmund lift the salad plate and the Champions League trophy… These dreams have not yet been realized. How could I have been almost defeated by a training class?"

"I have decided, no matter how many difficulties there are, no matter how difficult it is, I will realize my dreams! This time I will definitely not be defeated or crushed by my dreams! Thank you, Zhou Yi, thank you!"

Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder and was also a little emotional. Then he saw the Wagner couple smiling and watching them behind Mark.

He said: "Mark, I think you should thank your parents more. No matter what, they are always supporting you behind you. Wasn't it their suggestion to come to watch this game?"

So Mark turned around and hugged his parents, and could no longer hold back his tears.

Mrs. Wagner gently patted his back and stroked his head, and muttered: "Come on, Mark. You will always be mom's pride…"

Old Wagner stood next to him and nodded to Zhou Yi opposite him with a smile.

Zhou Yi also nodded and returned the greeting with a smile.

ps, a big chapter of 9,000 words!

From collecting information, to sorting out the information, to using the information, from the important role of this chapter in this plot and even in this volume and this book, to the emotional mobilization during writing, I spent a day on this chapter—this is also why I can't write this book quickly and can't explode.

I think my efforts and the quality of this chapter are worth you voting for me with a monthly ticket, right?

So, this time I don't use the word "please", I "want" a monthly ticket!

I want a monthly ticket!

Want a monthly ticket!!!
