Lu Ling looked over in surprise. Isn't it okay last night? Does it have anything to do with the events in The Sun, but there's no logic here. Abby is not a stingy girl, and she never shows dissatisfaction with her relationship with Pat. Lu Ling's mood was already very bad, and now she didn't know how to comfort the boy, and finally she said in an old-fashioned manner, "I'm sorry to hear this." …… You guys went back and had a fight last night?"

"Nope. She said...... I'm not on the same page as her. Patrick repeated Abby's words, a blank look in his eyes.

Is it the same page? Lu Ling didn't expect that the girl's feelings were already more serious. And Pat really wasn't that concerned. There are actually many football players who get married early, and there are also many who become fathers early, which is why she asked him that embarrassing question that day. Of course, the prodigal son of the star is never a minority. However, with what she knows about Pat, it is not like the latter.

Lu Ling looked at the boy's face, he looked a little depressed. Even if you don't care so much, after all, you're out of love. She asked, "Are you okay?" in a concerned tone.

Pat nodded slightly, he was indeed in a worse mood because of the breakup, but he was not sad. Maybe that's a problem in itself.

"By the way, Tina, about the news of The Sun, I'm sorry to make you my 'girlfriend' once, boss, he ......"

"Oh, that, don't worry. Lu Ling shook his hand, this oolong is really embarrassing, she is actually Pat's "girlfriend...... She stood up from her seat, "Actually, I wanted you to help me say sorry to Abby, she was really wronged." But who knows...... I'll call myself. SHE TOOK THE CLIP AND IPAD IN HER HAND AND WALKED AROUND THE TABLE, "I HAVE TO GO TO A MEETING." Don't be late for training tomorrow. ”

Patrick answered, and when he turned around, he thought of something, "Don't you want your gift?"

Lu Ling smiled bitterly, "The first day of twenty-seven years old was so bad, where am I still in the mood to think about gifts." ”

"You can look forward to having time in the evening?"

"Not necessarily. ”

"Just half an hour. ”

“…… Well, see you in the evening. ”

Turning the same block, Patrick pointed to the apartment he was passing by, "My house is here, and you've never been there since I moved in." With that, he had already driven over.

Lu Ling glanced back, looking uninterested. However, it really doesn't look like an ordinary place to live in a medium-sized capacity. She looked out the window again, "So you're not taking me to your house?"

Patrick smiled and glanced at the woman in the passenger seat and shook his head, but soon he added, "If you want, you can go up and have a look later." ”

They turned another block. The roads in the UK are narrow and there are particularly many intersections. Blocks are generally close to each other. The boy drove a few hundred meters further and stopped.

Lu Ling stretched and sat up straight. "What the hell are you going to show me, Pat?" she asked, stepping out of the car.

The boy parked the car and walked around the back of the car. He took out a key, threw it in his hand, and smiled a little childishly. Then he walked over to the somewhat old five-story apartment.

"Hey-" Lu Ling shouted, and Pat didn't look back, she could only follow.

The house is a few years old, and looking at the exterior, it should still be a Victorian building. After swiping the key to get in, it is not difficult to judge the grade of the apartment and the quality of the security, yes, it looks very good.

It's a bit like the teaching building when Lu Ling was in college. Many university buildings in the UK are covered with thick velvet carpets, often with complex structures and layers of antique-looking automatic doors, which really reflect the character of the people of this country. Respect for tradition, but not backward.

They took the elevator to the fourth floor. Exiting the elevator, Patrick opened the door to one of the rooms with the key in his hand.

The boy made a gesture of invitation, and Lu Linghu glanced at him suspiciously, "Pat, I know that you are a rich child, but you haven't had the money to buy a house for me yet, so ......"

"I called my real estate agent and he said this is the best one bedroom in this neighborhood on the market right now. You should be able to afford the rent. ”

The average price of the house in this area is amazingly high, and Pat has no idea about the rent. Lu Ling glanced at the boy suspiciously again, but did not answer him immediately.

Unlike the exterior, the interior of the house is new and simple, and the only thing that remains of the old structure is the small fireplace in the living room. She did fall in love with that fireplace at first sight. The carpet is also laid, but it is not as heavy as the carpet in the public area, it is ordinary household, camel-colored, and it looks very warm. Open plan kitchen, clean bathroom, perfect size bedroom and window placement. If you were to compare this house to her attic, the attic was a doghouse.

Patrick sat on the couch in the living room and watched Christine's eyes come in and out of the doors, and she seemed to like it. The boy asked again, "So?"

"Of course I do. Are you sure I can afford the rent?" Lu Ling was still not sure.

"It should ...... No problem. The boy said and threw the key over. "I've already paid the deposit, and if you like, you can sign the contract tomorrow. Happy birthday, Tina!"

Lu Ling grabbed the key that Pat threw over, this was when she was in the best mood today.

When they came out of the house, they met a neighbor who was out with garbage. The man looked at them several times, and Lu Ling felt uneasy in his heart, pushing Patrick to urge him to go faster. When the elevator door finally closed, she was sure.

"That's right. Lu Ling suddenly thought about something.

"What?"

"How was Ian last night?"

"If you mean Kate, Zixiang said he had a wonderful night last night. ”

“…… Haha, Ian is finally not a virgin. ”

Patrick waited for Lu Ling to get out of the elevator before coming out behind.

"How do you know everything?" muttered the boy.

"You tease him for never avoiding me, and I'm not deaf. ”

That's right. Ian was in a better mood than ever last night. It's just that he is with Kate, but he has broken up with Ai, and if he meets in the future, I hope it will not be too embarrassing.

"Going to my house for a coffee?" asked Patrick as he started the car.

Lu Ling looked at the time and shook his head, "Next time." ”

****

As soon as she returned to the attic, Lu Ling received a call from Lu Yungui, and her father wished her a happy birthday. She spoke casually to him and quickly hung up.

Rush placed a note in the crack of the door, telling her that she had a package and that she was from the United States. When she saw it, her first reaction was that when she left this attic, she would miss Rush.

Before turning off the lights, Lu Ling lay on the bed and glanced at the place where he had lived for several years, the sweat and dreams he had had, and Pat's visits from time to time, in fact, it had never been so difficult.

When she was about to fall asleep, Lu Ling received a message, she picked it up in a daze and looked at it, it was Nicholas.

"I just got home, happy twenty-seventh birthday, Christine!"

She replied to a few letters after reading it, and then the phone never vibrated again.

The first day of twenty-seven starts badly, but it doesn't end badly.

She thought she would get a good night's sleep tonight.

Patrick's nightclub incident still caused quite a stir among QPR fans, and many fans left him messages on Instagram, saying that Amber Kid can't destroy your future. And the news that he and his girlfriend have broken up has also leaked out. One day, Yu Zixiang went to flip through the Instagram page of Pai Cui Ke, and saw many young girls leaving ambiguous messages for this kid.

The other thing is that several QPR fans actually went to Abby's Instagram to scold her. This is really wrong. However, the girl will still update the photos of her life after the breakup, and she looks good.

Yu Zixiang never told Sù Pat what the girl said in the nightclub that day. At first, he felt embarrassed, but later he didn't seem to care much about Pat either, and he felt even more unnecessary.

In the club, after the fine and talk, the matter was settled. Thankfully, it didn't affect the three boys, and perhaps most importantly, it didn't affect Patrick-Amber's.

February's Championship Player of the Month and Manager of the Month were also won by Patrick and Nicholas.

Ahead of the international break week in March, QPR topped the pack after beating Preston North End twice!

Middlesbrough and Burnley, who were originally in first and second place, rushed to decline together, and QPR overtook Middlesbrough by a narrow one-point advantage. Burnley are also just one point away from Middlesbrough.

Nicolas Flores' total control of the team and the strengthening of his defensive system, combined with Patrick's hot form that has been going on for months, have pushed Queens Park Rangers, who are still mid-table with a third of the schedule headed, into the lead.

This is a huge surprise, although this trend is a little bit of accumulation, but after all, when Nicolas first took over, the major Bo/Cai companies were not optimistic that the Spaniard could lead the team to upgrade.

After this round, the major media began to focus on a Championship team in a rare way:

"Flores leads QPR to the Championship"

“FloresMakesQPRFrontRunnerinChampionship”

- London Evening Banner

"Next Superstar: Amber Continues to Fly High"

“TheNextBigThing:AmberKeepsFlying”

- The Daily Telegraph

"Inside Tips: Flores' Magic, Amber's Secret, and Lu's Magical Effect"

“InsiderReport:Flores-Magic,Amber-sSecretandLu-sAmazingImpact”

- "Daily Mirror"

At a time when everyone was extremely optimistic about QPR, Gary Cole, who had been fired for a few months, quietly took the position of assistant coach at Burnley. Before taking office, the old-school Englishman footballer, who had been silent since his expulsion, appeared on a British sports radio station. For the first time on the show, he openly talked about his views on his old club.

"Oh, I have to say, Nick did a great job of bringing out the best in this already good team, so I can understand why the current owners like to change managers and like to use continental managers, which really gives players a sense of freshness. As for Patrick, I was very optimistic about him when I was in Harrington, and I mentioned many times that I was going to move him to the first team, and it didn't disappoint. ”

The presenter continued to ask, somewhat sinisterly, "And Mr. Gary, what do you think of your successor?"

"You mean Christine, I'm sure Nick has his own ideas. And I know that the two of them knew each other before they came to the club, which would be a big help – I mean, if the head coach and the assistant coach can get to know each other and trust each other, of course it's very good for the team, and I probably didn't make Nick as happy at that point, haha. ”

Sports radio in the UK still has a sizable audience. The boom in the web hasn't affected this relatively old industry. After the show aired, Gary's remarks on the show were reposted by several media outlets, and then spread on social media.

If it weren't for hearing the players' small talk, Lu Ling wouldn't have known about it.

James and Nedham said those words as they passed the ball on the grass.

"Oh, Gary is so cunning, a lot of people are talking about this interview. "It's James' voice.

"But do you think he's telling the truth? Did Christine and the boss really know each other before?" Captain Nedham glanced at the assistant coach next to him and lowered his voice.

"Who knows, but I'm inclined to believe him, maybe that guy did an investigation after he was fired. Speaking of which, it occurred to me that the two of them didn't dance on the Christmas pie?"

"I had that impression, but I didn't think anything was wrong at the time. ”

……

Lu Ling pretended not to hear their conversation, and then she went back to search for the news on the Internet, only to feel a chill down her spine.

Not to mention that Gary is disgusting enough to take the credit for discovering Patrick on himself, not to mention that there is still dissatisfaction with the English team hiring too many foreign managers, and the most terrifying thing is what he said about himself.

Gary's wording is very clever and he won't get caught, but the substance is a heart-wrenching argument. It's easy for fans to associate the young and handsome Latin coach with the younger female assistant coach.

There are not a few people who think like the fired reporter Jimmy Cooper, and a female coach is so special in this male-dominated industry. It is so special that it is difficult for ordinary people not to suspect that she used improper means. Now, Gary's words undoubtedly confirm many people's speculations.

Not to mention those who don't know from the outside world, even some players in the team have started to think about it in private.

I wonder if the fleeting and almost imperceptible strange look of team owner Tony Fernandez every time he looks at himself is also because he has a deep suspicion that she has some shady relationship with Nicholas.

In fact, Lu Ling had long been aware of this problem in her heart, but she didn't want to see it. Moreover, she is more concerned with football itself.

Perhaps, the opinions of the fans and the media can be ignored, but judging by the conversation she heard between the captain and James, the seeds of this uneasiness have been planted. This is what worries Lu Ling the most.

Nicholas had apparently been informed of Gary's "revelations". The assistant was absent-minded all day, and he watched it. Later, when he was about to get off work, he talked about it.

'You know, Gary just got a job at Burnley – he's psychological warfare and you can't be influenced by him. ”

Lu Ling frowned, "Mr. Flores, I don't care what he said, but the biggest problem here is what kind of impact it will have on the locker room. ”

'I believe the dressing room is still under my control. The Spaniard said firmly.

Patrick Amber was not called up by England boss Roy Hodgson during the international break at the end of March, and despite the media and fans alike, Mr. Owl was unmoved. After all, England's young talent has been in full swing this season, such as Tottenham's Deli Alli, Manchester United's Jesse Ringard, and Everton's Ross Barkley. These are the players who shine in the Premier League. Mr. Owl may have felt that the nineteen-year-old boy in the Championship should have waited.

However, it was also Patrick Amber who was selected for the England Under-21 national youth team. They played Switzerland on March 26 in the UEFA Youth Championship qualifiers, and the boys started the game with a goal and an assist. Continuing his good form at the club.

And coming back from the national team break, there will be a big game.

Battle for the top spot – Queens Park Rangers vs Middlesbrough.

This time, Middlesbrough boss and Nicholas's deceased Aitto Karanka will not be absent.

A few days before the game, there were already media campaigns for the game, dubbing the upcoming Championship summit showdown the "Mourinho derby".
