Ajax's 2003 club journey was down to the last league match.
Perhaps it was because Christmas was approaching, or perhaps it was the accumulation of fatigue from several months of continuous battles. When the last match arrived, Ajax's entire team was not in a particularly good state.
Qin Xiong went with the team to Twente. In the 16th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged Twente in an away game. He put most of his energy into defense.
Ajax's condition was not good. It seemed that many players' minds were not in the game.
However, Qin Xiong still had a highlight moment in the game.
In the 58th minute of the game, he was on the left side of the front field. He was close to the ground and a straight pass penetrated the two lines of Twente's midfielders and defenders. He caught the seemingly non-existent passing route in the narrow gap and assisted Van Der Vaart to break into the penalty area and score!
As the game time decreased, Ajax became more absent-minded. Comain saw that the situation was not good and immediately initiated a substitution to increase the defense and stabilize the team's victory.
In the end, Ajax defeated Twente with a goal in the away game and won the last league match of 2003 without bloodshed. In the first half of the season, they won 14 out of 16 games, drew 1 and lost 1 to become the champions of the Eredivisie.
Qin Xiong understood his teammates' absent-mindedness. First of all, they were all young people. It was difficult to say that their mentality had matured to the extent of being as stable as Mount Tai.
Secondly, the huge lead in the league made the leading sheep mentally relaxed. This was also understandable.
In the locker room after the game, the teammates were no longer talking about football, but about the holidays.
After this game, the Eredivisie entered the winter break. Ajax would give the players about three weeks of vacation.
Some players would return to their home countries for a holiday, while others planned to travel. Qin Xiong did not participate in the discussion of his teammates. He clearly had not decided on the winter break plan.
When they returned to Amsterdam, they thought that they would part ways, but they did not expect that a few of their teammates would have dinner together. Then, Snede said to Qin Xiong with a sly smile, "There will be a mysterious program tonight."
Qin Xiong changed into casual clothes. They went to a mid-range restaurant to eat. Ivan, Van Der Vaart, Snede, Hai Tinga, and Qin Xiong made a total of five people.
After dinner, Qin Xiong asked curiously, "Where are we going tonight?"
Eevee put his arm around his shoulder and walked out of the dining hall, smiling slyly. "I'll take you to see the world."
Qin Xiong was confused, but he didn't ask for details. He sat in Ivan's car and let his teammates lead the way.
His teammates found a parking space near the Grand Canal in the city center, then got out of the car and walked.
The five young men were dressed casually. They did not walk side by side, but split into two groups. Snede and Hai Tinga led the way in front, while Ivan and Van Der Vaart "sandwiched" Qin Xiong in the back, as if they were afraid that Qin Xiong would escape and come to supervise him.
As the road became narrower and narrower and more pedestrians appeared, Qin Xiong seemed to have realized something.
Under the night sky, if there was a place in Amsterdam that was bustling with noise, it would be the famous red-light district!
He had been in the Netherlands for more than three months, but he had not visited the red-light district.
The moment they stepped into the red-light district, Snede and Hai Tinga turned their heads to look at Qin Xiong with mischievous smiles on their faces.
Qin Xiong did not look at his teammates' expressions. His gaze was attracted by the display windows next to each other on the street.
Under the illumination of the red lights, the flirtatious women wearing bikinis in the narrow display windows were indeed able to attract men's gazes.
Ivan said that he brought Qin Xiong to see the world.
He was right!
Qin Xiong really did come to see the world!
It was a bit exciting!
Ivan and Van Der Vaart saw that Qin Xiong's face was slightly red, but his gaze lingered on the women in the display windows for a long time. They could not help but tilt their heads and snicker.
Van Der Vaart put his arm around Qin Xiong's shoulder and said, "You've encountered a problem."
"Hm?"
Qin Xiong was still observing the women in the display windows. They were fat and thin, pure and mature, gorgeous and fresh. There were all kinds of women in bikinis standing there, like merchandise. Oh, no, they were merchandise!
Other people might be used to it. For example, the native Dutch people who started receiving sex education at the age of six would not make a fuss about it.
But Qin Xiong's head really did feel like it was ringing. He was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Without waiting for Van Der Vaart to speak, Qin Xiong suddenly asked, "Why are the curtains drawn in some of the display windows? Is there no one? "
Van Der Vaart chuckled and whispered in Qin Xiong's ear, "That's because a customer walked in. The women are working in the small room, so of course the curtains would be drawn."
"Oh, I thought there was no one."
"The display windows here are rented for over a hundred euros a day, but they are definitely not empty. In fact, the red-light district is very small. There are many people fighting to do business here."
Qin Xiong nodded, his expression serious as if he had learned something new.
He finally turned his head to look at Van Der Vaart and asked, "What did you just say?"
Van Der Vaart smiled playfully and said, "You're already an adult. You have a job to earn money, but you're still a virgin. That's your problem!"
"Hm? Why would that be a problem? "
Qin Xiong couldn't understand Van Der Vaart's words.
It could be said that before he came to the Netherlands, he used to live in a very closed and narrow circle. He was isolated from the outside world, and even from the normal lives of his peers.
Perhaps some students who had a girlfriend when they were underage and had sexual experience would feel very awesome. They would also despise their peers who couldn't find a girlfriend and had no sexual experience.
But in Qin Xiong's mind, he had never experienced such a thing. He was like an obedient child, abiding by the rules set by the adults and the philosophy of life instilled in him.
Van Der Vaart hugged Qin Xiong to dispel his doubts.
In Europe, a considerable number of young people would specially come to Amsterdam on the day of their adulthood. Here, smoking marijuana and saying goodbye to being a virgin in the red-light district was a kind of coming of age ceremony.
Here, there were no moral shackles of right and wrong in other countries. Everything was open and aboveboard, unrestrained and unrestrained.
Van Der Vaart also told Qin Xiong that there were many girls here who would "entertain" the young people who came here for their coming of age ceremony.
Van Der Vaart asked Qin Xiong if there were any girls in the window display that caught his eye. Qin Xiong immediately shook his head.
Although he couldn't take his eyes off those girls, it did mean that those girls were attractive. It was an instinctive attraction between the opposite sex, but it didn't mean that it could drown out his rationality.
It would always give him a strange feeling.
However, he himself might not have realized that the world he saw today would activate his male instincts of "aggression"!
Not only were there girls in the window display, but there were also girls outside the window display. They would stand outside the door and talk enthusiastically with the tourists, soliciting business.
Originally, this was not allowed in the Netherlands. In other words, these girls, as commodities, could only exist in the window display to "work". Coming out and walking on the street to solicit customers, no!
But there were people everywhere who skirted the boundaries. It was the same in all walks of life. There was no need to make a fuss.
The red-light district was bustling with business and was very lively. When they reached the middle section, it could be said that it was overcrowded. Tourists from all over the world would visit the red-light district.
Ivan was squeezed to the front. The five of them split into three groups and walked forward. Qin Xiong was near the window display. When he passed by a girl who was enthusiastically soliciting customers, she took the initiative to come up to him and say something that Qin Xiong could understand, but it made him frown.
Japanese!
It meant hello.
Qin Xiong had been to Japan to compete, so he could understand the simplest Japanese.
Van Der Vaart whispered to him, "There are a lot of Asian and Japanese guests here."
At last, Qin Xiong's doubts were resolved. Van Der Vaart said to the girl, "He's not Japanese. He's from China."
The girl immediately looked apologetic. She smiled and said, "Mister Lee? King Mister? "
It seemed that there were quite a lot of China tourists here.
These girls would try to use this method to get closer to the tourists and facilitate business.
Li and Wang were common surnames in China, so some of the girls would try to call them out directly.
Qin Xiong shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to leave, the girl awkwardly said a Chinese word, which really shocked Qin Xiong.
"Fine!"
Qin Xiong turned his head to look at her again. She seemed to think that Qin Xiong had changed his mind, so she continued to shout it a few more times.
Qin Xiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
