Nathan Neal watched as the head coach put the goblet on the coffee table, and then she walked straight to the door, as if she knew who was coming. He also had a little speculation in his heart. He lowered his eyes and pulled out another goblet. Then all three glasses were poured with champagne.

Lu Ling opened the door, and her agent, Steve Baker, walked in. Before she could say hello to her agent, she heard the American say behind her:

"Have you really decided?"

Lu Ling turned her head and looked at Nathan Neil's turquoise eyes, she nodded firmly at those eyes and smiled faintly, "Yes. ”

An hour later, Nathan Neill left Harrington. He got into his limousine, and he leaned back in the comfortable leather seat and closed his eyes. Her voice was still in his ears.

"If it's really just an office romance, I wouldn't mind having Pat as a hero. I think he's been to you, and he's been to Steve, and he's prepared. But this thing needs to be seen in reverse. If I'm a male manager and I'm in love with a female player younger than me, people will probably be more critical and want me to quit. I think it's better for me to leave on my own initiative. In the long run, I was too unstable working with him at a club. ”

"Nate, what I need is your full support for me for the rest of the season, I know you're a gambler at times, and now is the time for you to place your bets. Or, you made a bet when you decided to buy Pat back. ”

"I want to get all the titles I can and leave here with the glory. Steve had already started to put me in touch with the next family, but now it's all very private, I'm not sure where I'm going, and I'm not even sure if any big clubs are willing to accept a manager who is dating an active player. But I'm not afraid. ”

'I have a fantastic candidate for the next manager and there is no one better suited than him. ”

"Have you ever played Soccer Manager? There are generally two types of Soccer Manager. One is eager to start with the amateur league and lead the team, work hard, and finally win the top league championship and the Champions League, and the other directly leads the big club to win and win the championship. Both modes are interesting, and some people choose to try both. It's just that there are often no two paths to choose from in real life. I prepared for the worst and I wouldn't mind starting over from the lower leagues if there really weren't any big clubs that wanted me. I'm only thirty-two years old, and given me ten years, I'm sure I can still create a myth. Ten years later, when Pat is almost at retirement age, what reason do people have to criticize us? Of course, there is also the possibility that I will be Billy Beane and wait for a championship for the rest of my life. Who knows, but I'm willing to bet. ”

"Remember when you went to Los Angeles to find me? That's when we talked about gambling. Always. Haha, actually, I'm more inclined to people who don't let Kristen Lu coach the lower leagues. I'm a 32-year-old Asian woman, after all, and you know what that means, meaning I'm playing the 'most politically correct' role...... Well, that's a boring joke. All in all, we all want to see a good result this season. For me personally, this is the defining part of my resume. ”

"I don't think it's a sacrifice, I just want both, you can call me a stupid naïve idealist. But you also know that my other identity is that of a Machiavellian. This is not a contradiction. You know that one word can never define a person. ”

"e only live once, nate, only live once." ）

Nathan Nill opened his eyes and looked out the window, driving through the quiet neighborhood of Surrey, where one similar and dissimilar villa after another was left behind. He knew that there were no stars in West London tonight, and the wind was blowing. It didn't rain either. He burst out laughing.

We only live once, and it is impossible to have no regrets, but we must try to leave as few regrets as possible.

When it was over, Patrick continued to caress and kiss her sweaty, hot skin. Her skin is delicate, smooth and elastic, which he enjoys. The slight pleasant sound she makes indicates that she is enjoying it too. When his kiss landed on the narcissus, he stopped abruptly. He straightened up and looked at her. Her closed eyes opened, a little confused and a little dissatisfied, but more of a temptation.

Patrick stared into her eyes, then lowered her eyes to look at the narcissus. "Flores," he whispered.

Lu Ling's whole body froze. He bent down again, his fingers running back and forth over her groin, as if trying to ease her down. His hot breath fell on her skin, and he kissed the narcissus again, and continued calmly, "It's not him. I mean it's a flower. ”

She let out a little laugh when she heard that. She let him kiss. His kisses weren't too aggressive and purposeful yet. After a while, she asked lazily, "Didn't you suspect it?" She couldn't see his face, she couldn't see his eyes, but her skin could sense his every move.

"Never. Patrick said, parting her legs, ready to kiss somewhere else.

"Why?" Lu Ling propped his arms and sat up. She felt a little weird and talked about it as she ......

Patrick didn't stop her, and he thought it was a little weird. He looked up at her, a confident smile on his face. 'You got this tattoo before the end of that Championship season, when nothing happened to you and him. ”

"So?" Lu Ling asked with a smile.

Patrick leaned closer, leaned in front of her, and said slowly, "My Tina...... Definitely not going crazy before a man goes crazy for her. So this tattoo of yours has nothing to do with him, it's a coincidence. ”

Lu Ling rubbed his hair. This truth, Pat understands, and Nick actually understands it. The dispute in Nyon was actually quite absurd.

"Don't think about him. Patrick frowned, pinching her chin and pecking her lips.

"You mentioned it first. She muttered.

"Yes......" Patrick didn't deny it, kissing her on the lips.

Lu Ling closed his eyes. At that time, Nick wanted her to consider leaving the QPR and wanted her to get out of the so-called Fort Zone. Nick probably thinks that as long as she leaves QPR, she will let go of the little girl in her heart, and then she may also alienate Pat, and she will eventually leave, under the influence of various factors. But it wasn't until she finished talking to Nate today that she felt like she was really getting out of that fort zone. Sometimes it doesn't matter how it forms. It's just that she knows that Nick hasn't stepped out of his own fort zone, the little boy in his heart......

Patrick kissed her for a moment, noticing that she was a little inattentive. He grabbed her shoulders and suddenly pressed against her, pressed against her body against her lips, and whispered again, "Don't think about him." ”

Lu Ling opened his eyes, looked at the man's somewhat jealous eyes, and reached out to push the body that was pressing on his body.

This action made Patrick hurt a little. As soon as he grabbed her hand, he pressed it even harder, and his eyes and face had completely changed.

She made a voice and explained, "Pat, it's not what you think. ”

Patrick pursed his lips and stared at her face, silent.

She sighed, "It does have something to do with him, but it's not what you think." ”

Patrick said toughly, "Don't think about it, don't think about anything related to him." ”

"Who mentioned that word first?"

“…… I'm stupid, anyway, you don't have to think about it. ”

"Didn't think about it. ”

Patrick looked into her eyes. I don't think I'm really thinking about it. He pressed the tip of his nose against the tip of her nose and asked gently, "Who am I?"

It's so naïve. Lu Ling rolled his eyes. "Patrick Amber. His name was pronounced.

"Who do you love?"

“…… Patrick Amber. ”

Patrick moved. "Who do you want now?"

Lu Ling was annoyed, "Your name is not good." ”

"Patrick-Amber, who has a bad name, loves Tina and wants Tina. He was happy again. "Let's go on, baby, it's a holiday tomorrow, isn't it......"

After winning the Carabao Cup, the team took a day off. Next, the QPR will need to play Newcastle at home in the league on March 6 before heading to Munich for the second leg of the Champions League against Bayern Munich on March 9, the middle of next week.

Afternoon of March 3, Harrington.

The star of the training session was Benjamin Hamilton. In addition to his 21st birthday today, his team-mates blessed him, he just scored a beautiful long-range free kick in training. A nearby teammate was high-fiveing him.

Patrick felt a little lonely for the past two days because of Jake's injury. In fact, except for Leon, everyone's relationship with Ben is okay, but it seems that only Jake and Ben are close. …… It turns out that he can also be counted. He didn't think about it anymore, he wasn't stingy, but he wasn't so generous as to be ridiculous.

At the end of the training session, Benjamin called out to the head coach. Patrick was walking with Leon to the locker room on his ball, and he glanced back, as did Leon beside him. He didn't say anything, and Leon was interested.

Lu Ling listened carefully to Benjamin's words. She didn't look at his face, focusing on his voice. She knew that he was busy with schoolwork and had a lot of games, and he actually studied so many Bayern games. She was a little surprised, but not so surprised. Some of his thoughts coincided with hers. She even thought that he could really go straight into the coaching staff. She looked up and glanced at this logical, unhurried Benjamin, who had not been seen for a long time. Reminds her of Benjamin last summer. She loves to talk to the players. It's just that she also knows that things don't change quickly in a day, two, or three days.

"Thanks, Ben, you have a good idea. After Benjamin finished speaking, Lu Ling said, "I'll talk to you again after we play Newcastle in the league." She paused, "Happy birthday." You look good. ”

Benjamin heard her say that. The implication seemed to be that he no longer looked so sad and had come out of the gloom.

He was a handsome, golden, well-born, and intelligent young man, and he loved him but could not have only one emotion, and his emotions were always repeating. He wanted to tell her that he was not only sad, but also angry and jealous, and even wronged. Some clever poets will write poems in praise of the love of their hearts or their own pure and supreme love, and at the same time use clever words to mock the beautiful girl who repeatedly rejects him as a damned prostitute. He doesn't do that. Although Phil was right, he was thinking dirtier than the fans were shouting. If she would seduce her with her eyes, he would immediately carry her to the car and take her home. Not only does he probably have no sense of honor, but he also has no moral bottom line. I can't even care if it's decent or not. Patrick is going to be beaten, beaten. It's just that that can't happen. As soon as his hand touched her waist, she swung her fist at it. Maybe it would be funny to be punched by her, how much can she punch?, Benjamin was taken aback by the idea. What she said, she said she had to assume that he liked to be rejected by her, that he liked to be hurt by her...... No, no, he wanted her lips more than fists.

He looked at her lips and turned his eyes away. His gaze fell on the swaying branches in the distance. Then, little by little, he burst out laughing. He looked at her again. It's not just those who are in bad moods, either. Sometimes, he can be happy too. Like now. She told him happy birthday, and she stood in front of him, the March breeze brushing her hair, and her eyes narrowed a little as if she were smiling as if she were smiling. Oh, that smile seems to be fading.

Lu Ling frowned a little, why didn't he speak?

Benjamin asked inexplicably, "Is it still a hairstyle?"

"What?"

"When you first met me up close in Harrington, what impressed you most about me?"

Lu Ling quickly remembered, and she smiled: "I think you are a quiet and broad person. She felt strange to herself. She knew Ben was hypocritical at times, but it was never that she remembered him the most. Maybe it's because she has a similar mask herself.

"Thank you. Benjamin nodded solemnly. But he really wanted to carry her to the car. He scratched at his short hair, "I'm glad you didn't say hairstyle." ”

Lu Ling smirked twice and looked into his eyes. "Do you have anything else to say? You said there was something you wanted to tell me. ”

Benjamin shrugged. "Maybe it's not necessary. I don't know. He saw a little more suspicion on her face, and he wanted to reassure her, "I said I'm not a troublemaker. Trust me, okay?"

Lu Ling didn't make a sound, still looking at Benjamin.

"I have to go home. "Baby. "There's a party waiting for me. Rest assured, I won't drink. I gave myself a nice birthday present. Oh, I told you. Benjamin put his hands in his pockets and blinked, "See you tomorrow." "Baby.

Lu Ling nodded, "Enjoy your night." See you tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, I will. "Baby. Benjamin turned and ran to the locker room, thinking that it would be nice to see the baby every day. But who knows, his emotions are long out of his control. Let's call it baby, although Pat calls her that, but it's not a special title. Baby, Babe, BaeLovers all over the world call each other that. 166 Reading Network
