“…The most eye-catching news in Chinese football today is that Anton Flash Star has introduced the only Japanese foreign player in the Chinese Super League from Japan, the young midfielder Junpei Morikawa who plays for Kobe Izumi in the J2 League. Regarding this
I believe all Chinese fans are familiar with this player. He once successfully froze the Chinese team’s captain and midfielder Guo Junfu in the U23 Asian Cup final...
"As for why Junpei Morikawa chose to join the Chinese Super League team Shining Stars, the explanation he gave at the airport was because he admired Hu Lai very much, so when he heard that Shining Stars were interested in him, he agreed to Shining Stars without saying anything.
The conditions...seemingly to prove this, he also confessed his love to Hu Lai in public on the spot..."
Here, the sound of the video commentary disappeared and was replaced by the live original sound video. In the video, Junpei Morikawa spread his arms. With Dong Wen's frightened eyes next to him, he said loudly in strange and emphasized Chinese:
“Hulesan, I love you!!”
Accompanied by these words, there was roaring laughter in the Shining Star locker room.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!!"
“Bang bang bang!” This is the sound of Chen Xingyi hitting the table.
“This is not a public confession, this is clearly a public execution!” Zhang Qinghuan, who held up his mobile phone and showed it to everyone in the locker room, commented on Morikawa Junpei’s confusing behavior.
His words caused everyone to laugh again, and the locker room was filled with happy air.
“To be honest, I didn’t understand why the club wanted to buy a Japanese defensive midfielder before. Now I feel the good intentions of Director Zhao... This is basically the little daughter-in-law looking for her husband thousands of miles away!”
“Hu Lai really didn’t expect you to be such a person, even the Japanese!”
Wang Guangwei came up to Hu Lai and said: "Let you give away jerseys indiscriminately and give away a long-lasting fate!"
Hu Lai spread his hands: "It's none of my business! I'm the victim, okay?"
“What harm did you suffer?” Chen Xingyi asked him.
“Victims of criticism!”
It caused another burst of laughter.
Just when the joyful atmosphere in the locker room was about to spread outside, head coach Zhao Kangming and captain Li Tielin appeared at the door of the locker room with another person involved in the matter.
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked at Junpei Morikawa with strange eyes and expressions.
“Let me introduce to you the new player of our team, our new teammate Junpei Morikawa.” Li Tielin pointed at Junpei Morikawa next to him.
Morikawa Junpei stood up straight and said loudly in Japanese: "Hello everyone, my name is Morikawa Junpei! I am from the Kobe Izumi Team in Japan. Please take care of me!"
While the translator was interpreting these words for him, he made a standard Japanese bow.
After he stood up, Qin Lin took the lead in applauding, and the others also followed suit, while looking at Morikawa Junpei carefully.
They saw that the Japanese player's eyes were a little wandering, and he was obviously looking for someone. When he found his target, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.
Many people followed his gaze and saw Hu Lai with a dead face in the crowd.
Then someone didn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Chen Xingyi’s smile caused even more people to hold back their laughter.
For a while, the locker room burst into laughter again.
Morikawa Junpei didn't care about the laughter of unknown meaning at all. He kept staring at Hu Lai with a smile on his face.
※※※
Zhao Kangming has left the locker room. Except for the temporary translator hired by the club for Morikawa Junpei, there are no outsiders in the locker room.
Li Tielin took Junpei Morikawa around the locker room. In addition to introducing his new teammates, he also introduced the facilities in the locker room and told him how to use these facilities.
For example, which way the shower switch is turned on is hot water, and which way is cold water.
After going around like this, Li Tielin brought Junpei Morikawa to his own cabinet, pointed to the cabinet where his photo and number had been pasted, and said: "This is your own cabinet. You can put some of your things in it."
it's here."
Morikawa Junpei nodded and said: "Hey, hey, hey..."
Li Tielin added: "If you have any questions, you can ask Hu Lai..."
Before he finished speaking, the locker room burst into laughter again when he heard the name Hu Lai.
Hu Lai also raised his hand: "Why are you looking for me, Captain Li? I'm not the captain..."
Li Tielin looked at him and said: "Because this is what Director Zhao meant. He asked you to lead Morikawa Junpei."
“Why?” Hu Lai was even more surprised.
“Because you can speak Japanese!”
As soon as Li Tielin said this, everyone turned their surprised eyes to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai then remembered that Director Zhao had asked him before. After the U23 Asian Cup finals, he ran to Junpei Morikawa to exchange jerseys and even exchanged a few words with him. After returning to the team, Director Zhao asked him if he could speak Japanese.
At that time Hu Lai admitted it, but he never thought that Director Zhao was waiting for him here...
“No, Hu Lai, when did you know how to speak Japanese?” Wang Guangwei was shocked. He still remembered that Hu Lai told him personally last year that he couldn’t speak Japanese...
Hu Lai knew that after he suddenly learned all the languages in the world after using the skill book of the world's common language, there were some things that he couldn't hide. After all, it was impossible for him to not use the functions that this skill book brought to him for the rest of his life.
...Then why do we need skill books?
As for how to explain it to others...he also thought of a reason.
“I taught myself. After chatting with this guy for a few words last year, I deeply realized how important it is to master another language. I taught myself when I came back.” Hu Lai pointed at Morikawa Junpei and said.
Wang Guangwei frowned: "I've never seen you learn..."
“Damn, Lao Wang didn’t expect that you still have the habit of peeping at me. Although we live under the same roof, it doesn’t mean we live in the same room. Do you know what I do behind closed doors?”
Zhang Qinghuan nodded beside him: "Hu Lai is right. In the dead of night, when he closed the door and came to see Teacher Fukada, Teacher Ohashi, Teacher Mikami, Teacher Aoi... how could these teachers learn Japanese?
Let Lao Wang know?"
Hu Lai glanced at Zhang Qinghuan: "Brother Huan, you have quite a rich inventory. You must have looked at it frequently, right? Otherwise, why are you so familiar with all the treasures?"
Zhang Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Hu Lai to counterattack from this tricky angle.
There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
Qin Lin asked a serious question: "Hu Lai, do you really know Japanese?"
"Well, Brother Lin, I do know a little bit..." In front of Qin Lin, Hu Lai didn't dare to be presumptuous.
“Then you have a chat with him.” Qin Lin pointed at Morikawa Junpei.
“Okay, Brother Lin.”
Hu Lai turned to Morikawa Junpei and asked him in Japanese: "Who taught you Chinese?"
“I taught myself, Hu Sang.” Morikawa Junpei quickly replied.
“Self-taught?”
“Yes, I taught myself, but I’m not very good at it…”
“It’s really not good... what you said is not what you wanted to express.”
At this time, a teammate next to him asked curiously: "Hu Lai, what are you telling him?"
Hu Lai took the time to answer his teammates: "Oh, on behalf of everyone, I welcome him and welcome him to Flash Star."
After finishing speaking, he turned back to Morikawa Junpei and said: "In the Chinese context, your sentence is equivalent to 'Auntie washes the railway'."
Junpei Morikawa was stunned for a moment after hearing Hu Lai's explanation. He didn't expect that he had made such a mistake. He quickly bowed to Hu Lai and apologized to Hu Lai: "I'm sorry, Hu Sang! I just wanted to express my feelings to you."
My admiration! You may not know that the two jerseys you gave me gave me endless strength. It was also because you were here that I agreed to transfer here..."
Teammates were shocked when they saw the two people talking and Junpei Morikawa started bowing to Hu Lai repeatedly.
They whispered to each other: "Hey, what did Hu Lai say to others?"
Someone else asked Han Xiangfei: "Didn't you say you knew Japanese before?"
Han Xiangfei frowned: "I just listened for a long time, but I didn't hear any words that I understand..."
“What words do you know?”
"Modo, Modo, Ya, Butterfly, Ta-baa-da-baa, Chimoji, One Tai, One Taiha, Press the Ku, One Ku, One Kusi." Han Xiangfei opened his mouth and came.
The person who asked him opened his mouth wide: "Good guy..."
Han Xiangfei shrugged, regret evident in his words: "It's a pity that I didn't hear even one of these words from their conversation..."
Teammates waved their hands quickly: "No, if you can hear this book, you will be banned!"
Han Xiangfei stared: "Who do you think I am?"
The teammate glanced at Zhang Qinghuan and lowered his voice: "Be someone like Zhang Qinghuan!"
Hu Lai stretched out his hand to stop Morikawa Junpei, who was transformed into a kowtow machine: "No, no, no, just say it with your mouth. You don't have to kowtow to me... If you want to learn Chinese, I can teach you."
Morikawa Junpei was overjoyed: "That's great, please teach me Hu Sang!"
Hu Lai waved his hand: "I can't do it now. I'll be training soon. How can I have time to teach you? Take your time, don't be in a hurry. I'll teach you how to introduce myself in Chinese first..."
Qin Lin saw that Hu Lai was talking endlessly to the other party, so he quickly interrupted their chat: "I asked you to talk to me, but I didn't let you have a normal conversation with me. What did you talk about?"
Hu Lai replied: "Nothing, Brother Lin, I just asked him why he came to Flashing Star..."
"Why do you need to ask? Now the whole of China knows that they are here to find you." Qin Lin joked with a smile, "You have to be responsible for others, otherwise I don't know how many people will accuse you of being callous and unsympathetic.
.Take him well, just like Wang Guangwei took you."
Hu Lai looked back helplessly and glanced at Morikawa Junpei, who was standing beside him honestly.
As soon as Junpei Morikawa saw his gaze, he immediately puffed up his chest and showed a "resolute" expression on his face.
Hu Lai felt that if this kid stuck out his tongue, it would be mysteriously similar to a husky...
