I had another coming-of-age ceremony!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know about this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Morici’s best friend, he didn’t know Morici had another coming-of-age ceremony, this... could it be that Momo had another dog outside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t look at me like that. Not letting you know was for your own good. I was worried it might affect your relationship with Sofia!\" Morici swore it wasn’t because he feared Sofia might hit him; after all, that would be setting a bad example for young ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly was the gift?\" Lu Yang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morici finally mustered up a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang was greatly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morici, oh Morici! You look so deceivingly innocent, and yet you did such a thing?\" Lu Yang lamented painfully, \"Aren’t you afraid of catching something? Did you forget what you once said on the training field? You said that although you’re a virgin, you believe in true love. And now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You actually went looking for a prostitute to find true love?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morici quickly covered Lu Yang’s mouth to prevent others who hadn’t left from hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed his own wrongdoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t really intend for that to happen.\" Morici hurriedly explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that it started as a joke from Naji towards Morici that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a young virgin, Morici was naturally curious and yearning about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being coaxed, deceived, and ridiculed by Naji, Morici instantly declared, \"A bet is a bet, who’s afraid of who! Am I, Morici, a coward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the two of them went to a nightclub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Naji called over two pretty girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, a blonde, blue-eyed girl named Tia particularly attracted Morici, and she was also very interested in Morici.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two naturally started talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the influence of alcohol, Morici and Tia...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning when Morici woke up, Tia had already left, leaving only a string of numbers—a phone number—on a note by the bedside table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Morici felt a complex array of emotions, plunged into confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Naji had explicitly told Morici to find some girls to have fun, and he had even collected a \"fee\" of three hundred euros from Morici in advance, Tia’s profession was self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even later, out of concern about \"leaks,\" Morici gave Tia an additional one thousand euros as a hush fee through Naji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when Morici found himself genuinely liking Tia, he was thrown into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couple this with the previous misunderstandings between him and Lu Yang over the massage instrument from Sofia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Morici kept thinking about finding Tia after returning to San Remo, to have an open and frank conversation and retrieve his hush fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Momo was indeed such a sensible person; emotions are emotions, breaches are breaches, everyone should mind their own business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning about the cause and effect, although Lu Yang was still angry, he had a little understanding of Morici’s plight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The culture in many football clubs is pretty much like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did you think football stars visit nightclubs for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To sing karaoke?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless your personal will is exceptionally strong, having a firm self-awareness about the world, you’d gradually accept things frequently mentioned or done by friends around you, regardless of whether those things are indecent or illegal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the essence of your social circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, speaking of bets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In European football, those stars, especially young stars, attract many aspiring models who hope to become the next Victoria. Thus, casual hookups are not surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as a star is willing, they can have romantic encounters with a different, willing female model every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living in such an environment long-term, many people deem such conduct normal, not falling into the realm of moral issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being candid, Lu Yang was very against such behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a pragmatic standpoint, this behavior makes some sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if you believe in love, you won’t support such behaviors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter indeed needs to be resolved.\" Lu Yang said, \"Morici, you’re a smart player, so please don’t let yourself get into such awkward situations again, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are someone who believes in love, but you shouldn’t seek true love from prostitutes, because even if you find it, you’d feel even worse. The so-called compatibility is sometimes not about wealth and comparison; perhaps it’s just the other person wants to find their ideal partner within a safe area, nothing more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",911,"2026-06-06T13:45:17.999Z",1,"novelbin.me","f5e267c76dc95ef3acb5b15a5213881efb2c17bf71d6463a3e256e86276162d3","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-506","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-504",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
