Dry life

  With a belly full of anger, Gao Wei went to his Portuguese class, where he was naturally scolded by the young teacher with a fiery temper, making him wonder if she had been soaked in chili water since childhood. As he watched Gao Wei being scolded severely, Wu Yu secretly mocked him, but unfortunately, his current Portuguese level wasn't good enough to smoothly "communicate" with others, otherwise he would have told the story of Gao Wei's bravery to the "proud" ones.

  But in the following days, Gao Wei was often disbelieving, but each time he was taught a lesson by that spicy teacher. In just a few short days, everyone in the class knew him. Although Gao Wei was tall and large, his speech was unclear, and he was no match for the spicy teacher. After a week, he was so well-behaved that he would take a detour to avoid seeing her.

  In early September, Marítimo's performance slightly rebounded and they finally won their third league home game. Although Wu Lei and Gao Wei's physical condition has improved somewhat, they still have not reached the standard for playing in the league. Moreover, the language barrier between them is obvious, and so far, apart from 'Ting' being proud, they do not have any other friends, and even the team captain does not know how to communicate with them.

  Two people, apart from daily training and classes, just stay in the house rented by Ternana for them, no internet, TV is also speaking a foreign language, making them feel that life is particularly dull. Because the first salary has not been received yet, two people rely on the club's subsidy, carefully spending every penny. Even going to Chinatown's small internet cafe to surf the internet is only once or twice a week, making the two feel that life is difficult.

  This is their second month abroad, the excitement and momentum of facing a new environment in the first month, under the crushing of dull life, seems to have slowly shattered. They began to feel the sense of loneliness brought by being in a foreign land, but they knew that this was just the beginning, and next, the two might face a long period of not being able to make ends meet. Look at the water dispenser? They haven't even reached that level yet.

  Two people ended their training in the afternoon and were still wandering around on this small island, with their activity range still limited to the small Chinatown. From the street to the end, Gao Wei had counted a total of 25 buildings, 18 of which were Chinese-owned shops, including restaurants, grocery stores, bookstores, and more.

  Madeira Island is a famous tourist destination in Portugal, with a Mediterranean climate, basking in sunshine all year round, making people feel very comfortable. Moreover, Columbus once lived on the island, and his former residence has also been developed as one of the scenic spots on the island.

  On this island with a large floating population, souvenir shops can be seen on every street. The two of them had already strolled through those streets under Tenorio's lead. Now without Tenorio as their guide, they didn't dare to wander around, fearing that they wouldn't be able to find their way back, so they could only stroll around Chinatown near their residence.

  This week, they came to Chinatown after finishing their afternoon training, starting from the internet cafe on the street to Sha Xian snacks at the end of the street. They almost all went through it. Lanzhou noodles and Sha Xian snacks were also tried by them. Although in Guangzhou, the two people disliked the taste of these foods very much, but in a foreign country, they are rare delicacies.

  Unfortunately, the consequences of their eating sprees in Chinatown were evident during training. The team doctor found that their diet was irregular and immediately put a stop to their reckless behavior, drawing up a special menu for them, which they had to follow every day, and if they went back to eating Sha County snacks again, they would be punished.

  This made the two men sigh in distress, but they had no choice.

  Another day of training ended, Wu Yun and Gao Wei ate the special dinner prepared by the team doctor with a bitter face, as if they were eating feces, and slowly walked back to their residence.

  The lanterns had just been lit, and the streets of Foshan were especially romantic under the warm glow. The soft light spilled onto Wu Yu's face, and the gentle sea breeze blowing from the coast carried a faint salty smell, making people feel indescribably comfortable.

  Feeling the romantic atmosphere, Wu Yu couldn't help but sigh that beside him was a big fool instead of Wang Peijun's delicate beauty. He slightly turned his head, looking at Gao Wei's sturdy build and coarse face, suddenly feeling that it ruined the mood.

  Just as he wanted to tease Gao Wei a bit more, a calling voice came from not far away.

  Wu Yu had never passed his English exams, but he also knew what the cry represented. Gao Wei also heard the woman's cry for help.

  Both of them were slightly shocked and looked at each other, both able to see the surprise in each other's eyes. In a tourist destination like Funchal, which represents Portugal's image, the authorities naturally attach great importance to public security. Although every city has small gangs, it is unbelievable that they dared to commit crimes before nightfall.

  Neither of them is a timid person. Now that they are facing such an obvious cry for help, if neither of them goes to rescue, they will probably scold themselves to death.

  Following the sound, they quickly ran to the scene. In just over ten seconds, they arrived at a small alley where the cry for help came from. The alley was pitch black, an ideal place for a crime.

  At this time, the sky was not too dark, and although the alley had no light shining on it, with the naked eye one could still see two young hooligans wearing flashy clothes, pressing against a tall and slender girl, with ulterior motives. One of the young hooligans' hands were already covering the girl's mouth, preventing her from shouting out, while the other was pulling at her handbag, in an act of robbery.

  The girl struggled with all her might, but the two young thugs were tall and strong, and her struggles seemed to be of no avail. Just as she felt hopeless, a loud and clear voice came:

  "Let go of that girl!"

  Three people in the alley stopped moving after hearing the voice. The two little 'hooligans' didn't understand Chinese at all, but they were guilty and stopped their hands in confusion after hearing the shout, looking strangely outside the alley.

  The girl, however, slowly turned her face around. When she saw the young man who appeared at the outer edge of the alley, shrouded in a burst of light, her eyes, which had been submerged in desperate tears, suddenly revealed a hint of a smile. The two little rascals didn't understand what the young man was saying, but she somehow understood intuitively. The young man's timely appearance even subtly stirred her long-calm heart.

  Two young thugs unclear about the situation, one of them took two steps forward to grab the girl's handbag, revealing a ferocious expression, and spoke some threatening words to Wu Yu. Although Wu Yu's physique was more robust than both of them, but there was only one opponent, and the little thug obviously didn't take it seriously.

  Wu Yu looked at Xiao 'Hun' and saw that he was speaking in a threatening tone, but his hands were empty, so Wu Yu wasn't worried and maintained the pose of "Star Master".

  His action made the 'girl' who was being bullied unable to help but laugh out loud.

  Another little 'rascal' saw this Chinese kid being so insolent, even the target of the robbery was ridiculing him, and in a fit of anger wanted to go forward and teach him a lesson.

  At this time, the clumsy and stupid Gao Wei finally arrived. When his tall figure appeared behind Wu Yu, those two little rascals immediately stopped their steps forward, and also gave up the idea of teaching Wu Yu a lesson. They still had the confidence to win against Wu Yu alone, but when the more robust Gao Wei appeared, they didn't have that kind of courage anymore.

  Two "mixed" men, who were only sixteen or seventeen years old, immediately left in a hurry under the intimidation of Gao Wei's ferocious face. Gao Wei hadn't even seen their faces clearly before they disappeared at the end of the alley.

  Naturally, Gao Wei's gaze fell on the 'girl'. Because the alley was dimly lit, he couldn't see the 'girl's' face clearly, only knowing that this 'girl' had a voluptuous figure, which made him feel excited.

  The girl in the alley could see both of their faces clearly, and this boy, she knew.

  Out of politeness, the girl naturally had to apologize to the two men, especially since she knew Wu Yu and Gao Wei. She walked step by step towards Wu Yu and Gao Wei, her slender figure making Gao Wei's heart flutter with excitement. But when her face appeared in front of Gao Wei, it immediately made him wilt, even frightening him out of his wits.

  Fair skin, black-rimmed glasses, high ponytail, isn't this Wu Yu's and Gao Wei's Portuguese teacher, the spicy girl who made Gao Wei submit? But just now she was bullied by two little hooligans, her eyes are filled with tears, looking pitiful.

  Even though she looked pitiful and made him want to protect her, as soon as he thought of her methods, the impulse that had risen up in his heart was immediately doused with a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the flames that were burning brighter and brighter.

  "Old... old... teacher, how is it you?" Gao Wei said in a humble and reserved manner.

  The beauty at this time seemed to have lost the majesty of teaching, looking at Wu Yu and Gao Wei, said with emotion: "Thank you, if it wasn't for you, I would definitely be robbed."

  "No need to be polite, we just happened to pass by here and didn't expect to run into you." Wu Yu said with a smile.

  "Ah, what a coincidence! Hehe..." Gao Wei scratched his head and smiled foolishly in agreement.

  The spicy girl swept a glance at Gao Wei, then looked at Wu Yu, who was still in a horse stance with his left fist clenched at his waist and his right palm swung out, and said strangely: "Why are you still posing like this?"

  "Yes, why are you still standing in a horse stance? Even if the pose is stylish, you don't need to hold it for several minutes." Gao Wei also came back to his senses and realized that Wu Yu had been holding this stance for several minutes.

  Wu Yu's face was also not calm at this time, a drop of sweat flowed across his cheek, and he awkwardly said: "I ran too fast just now, I got a cramp."
