I changed football.

2 month 1 day.

The day after the 23rd round of matches.

Jardim gave the whole team a day off.

Li Yuan made an appointment with Veronica for a date that day.

"Monaco is too small, there's really not much to do there. How about we go to Nice instead?"

Li Yuan was a little surprised by Veronica's suggestion, but he wasn't one to spoil the fun.

"Okay, go ahead, but do you have a car?"

"I have a car. Let's go."

Li Yuan is under 18 years old and has not yet taken a driving test. The legal driving age in France is 18.

Li Yuan was too young to get a driver's license, and although he was perfectly capable of driving, it was Veronica who drove the journey from Monaco to Nice.

It's really close, only a dozen kilometers from Monaco to Nice.

After arriving in Nice, the two got out of the car after parking in a public parking lot. Before getting out, Li Yuan checked the parking fee, which was 15 euros, and that was the price for parking.

Veronica also complained, "This parking fee is too expensive! 15 euros is the price of a decent lunch!"

"It's okay, you were driving, I'll pay for it."

The two then walked along the promenade, enjoying the sea breeze and the view of Angel Bay.

At this time of year, the temperature is just around 15 or 6 degrees Celsius, and the sea breeze is a bit chilly.

Basically, it's just about looking at the coastal scenery and natural landscapes.

Li Yuan wasn't particularly interested in these sights, but with a beautiful woman by his side, the trip was still quite pleasant.

Li Yuan took photos of Veronica along the way.

Wow, this photo is really good!

"That was, in my past—"

Li Yuan almost mentioned that in his previous life, when he was an internet celebrity, he often went out to shoot vlogs and studied shooting techniques for a long time. In his previous life, after he had a little money, he was also very willing to travel and see the beautiful landscapes of his motherland. When he traveled alone, he would shoot vlogs and landscape photos. Over time, he was able to hone his skills. Although he may not be particularly good at taking portraits, he had his own style.

Have you ever taken photos like this for other girls before?

"No, besides my mom, I've only ever taken photos of you like this."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. I've only ever gone out to play soccer with my friends before, this is the first time I've ever had a date like this."

"No way! Looking like this, you're telling me this is your first relationship? I don't believe it at all!"

"And you're one to talk! You're just as good-looking, aren't you? Have you ever been in a relationship before?"

"I don't want to lie to you. I dated someone in junior high, but the boys back then were all too stupid. They just shook hands and that was it."

"So, does that mean I'm your first love?"

"What? We're not even together yet!"

"You're not even together yet?" Li Yuan said deliberately.

"You haven't even confessed to me yet!" Veronica looked at Li Yuan with a bright smile.

Li Yuan casually grabbed Veronica's right hand: "I thought we were already together."

Seeing Veronica turn her face away shyly, Li Yuan became bolder and gently hugged her.

After observing her for a period of time, Li Yuan discovered that Veronica was different from typical European and American girls in her outgoingness, possessing a certain Chinese womanly reserve.

Of course, not all Western girls are outgoing these days, and not all Chinese women are shy; these are just stereotypes.

"What are you doing?"

These words sounded like an interrogation, but Veronica's tone was so soft that Li Yuan's heart fluttered. He not only hugged her tighter, but also reached out and touched Veronica's waist.

Veronica's body trembled slightly, then she nestled even closer into Li Yuan's arms.

Li Yuan knew then that it had succeeded.

That's it.

As a result, Veronica Grant became Li Yuan's girlfriend.

"So, I'm your girlfriend now, so tonight?"

"Tonight won't work, the match is the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow, why can't it be tonight?"

"But you live in the dorm, and so do I. Are we going to a hotel tonight?"

"Speaking of which, you should probably rent a place by now. You've officially signed with Monaco, so you should have the money to rent an apartment. Don't you feel restricted living in the dorms? If you rent a place, I can come stay with you—"

Veronica didn't say what she was going to say next, but Li Yuan could already guess what she was going to say.

Indeed, always staying in the dormitory is a bit inconvenient.

For example, Li Yuan's desire to change the layout of the dormitory is not very feasible.

For example, bringing your girlfriend to spend the night in the dorm would definitely be impossible.

Honestly, even after being reborn for so long, Li Yuan still has a lot of temper.

Since that was the case, Li Yuan decided to do it right away.

After their date that afternoon, the two started contacting each other once Li Yuan returned to Monaco.

Li Yuan contacted a real estate agent and asked for the ball.

"Monthly rent cannot exceed 1 euros."

"OMG—" The real estate agent almost shouted out loud.

"Although rent in Monaco is always expensive, 10,000 euros a month can rent some very nice luxury homes. Are you looking for a villa with a swimming pool?"

The real estate agent asked very seriously.

"No, a regular apartment will do."

Li Yuan wasn't interested in the villa; he always felt that its security and privacy were issues.

"Oh, we have several apartments here. Do you want an apartment with a yard, or a high-rise apartment?"

"An apartment with a yard?"

"It's a row of houses, about two stories plus a basement, so it's three stories in total, with a yard in the back."

"Like the Baker Street type? Like the Sherlock Holmes type?"

"Haha, it's the kind of house you see a lot of in American and British TV shows. Do you need one of these?"

"Isn't this kind of parking inconvenient?"

"That's true—so you want a high-rise apartment?"

"Yes, I want an apartment with complete facilities and security guards at the entrance."

"I understand what you mean. We have several apartments to choose from."

"The best kind."

Li Yuan is a nouveau riche; he spends all his money as soon as he gets it.

After receiving Li Yuan's comment that it was "the best kind," the real estate agent took Li Yuan to see a very nice large apartment around 5 p.m. that same day.

"This apartment is 250 square meters, fully equipped with all kinds of facilities. The building itself is also fully equipped, with a gym on the 4th floor, a buffet restaurant on the 2nd floor, a swimming pool on the roof, and two underground parking levels. The monthly rent is only 5500 euros. There is definitely a premium, but this price is quite reasonable!"

To Li Yuan's surprise, he was able to accept it.

After all, he now earns 15,000 euros a week, and the rent for a month is only equivalent to three or four days' wages.

Li Yuan is the type of person who wants to spend money as soon as he has it.

After signing the contract that evening, we were still unable to move in that same night.

We couldn't move in the next day either.

Because he also needed to handle the interior decoration, furniture, and appliances, Li Yuan simply paid someone to do it, which would take about 3 or 4 days even if it was faster.

Li Yuan calculated that he would definitely be able to move in before New Year's Eve.
