"I remember if you or Tim told me that the norm in this house is that you can't book a table if you don't book a week in advance, you only asked me to dinner yesterday, how did you get your seat? Or did you plan for a week before you mustered up the courage to ask me out?" Lu Ling asked as he looked at Alice with a half-squinted smile and a smile. Super-fast and stable updates, this article is made by. Starting

Alice was stared at a little crampedly, and she moved her ass, and she avoided her gaze and looked up at the waiter, a young and handsome Italian, whose accent had betrayed him early in the morning. The Italian symbolically blocked his nose with the back of his hand, and it was clear that he was snickering.

Alice winked at the Italian boy, her gaze eventually returning to the face of the short-haired woman across from her.

Alice already thought it was exaggerated when she saw her recent photos on the Internet, but when she looked at it up close, it was even more three-dimensional. Her hair was surprisingly short, similar to the way Phil's bald head had grown at the beginning of the year. The pattern on the side is no longer clear, and she finally hasn't changed it every two weeks, like many players. Now, she looks at the menu with her head down. Alice suddenly had a strange idea, and she let it take her toes.

Lu Qi felt a hand reach for the top of her head, and then her scalp was scratched twice.

"Oh my damn God, I knew you wore hairspray...... Trust me, if it's Phil sitting across from you right now, he can come up with a hundred ways to laugh at you. ”

Lu Ling raised his eyelids quietly, "I have too much hairspray for men, I think why waste it." "That's the truth, both Pat and Nick left hairspray in her bathroom, and the housekeeper came to clean it some time ago and asked her if all the men's things could be thrown away, and she swept it and left the men's hairspray. She wouldn't need anything else anyway.

Alice couldn't help but laugh, as did the handsome Italian waitress.

However, Alice immediately thought of a very extreme article on the Internet about Kristen Lu a while ago. The author of that article actually used the perspective that many journalists have tried, and analyzed Christine Lu's path to success from the perspective of her family cultural background, birth class, education level, etc. The article inevitably talks about three important men in her life: her father, Alex Yoon-gye-Lu, Patrick Amber, and Nicolas Flores. There's still nothing new about that. The freshest thing is that the author of the article cut from her new hairstyle, writing:

"Based on Freud's hypothesis of female □□ envy and many of the everyday patterns of Christine Lu's behaviour that we mentioned earlier, it is unfortunate that I would like to make the hypothesis that this young woman, who has achieved great success in the men's professional soccer league, feels inferior to her femininity. ”

It was this passage that made waves in this bland article. There are mainly two voices.

One is:

[Before Lu and Flores' romance was revealed, I always thought she was a lesbian...... I'll admit she's sexy, but the time I find her most unattractive is when she's standing on the sidelines yelling. 】

The other are:

[For God's sake, she just cut her hair short, how did this get to Floyd?!] Yesterday the tral line was like a oven, and I wanted to shave all my hair. I don't have dick, I'm a girl, and I'm proud of it. 】

Alice was helpless about it, but she found herself on the edge of that notion for a moment, and she told jokes about it, ironically calling herself a feminist. Perhaps, the default form of society for a long time will still influence you at some point.

Of course, it's just a joke.

The girl opposite had already finished ordering, and Alice asked for her share. The Italian waiter withdrew the menu, and the wine they had ordered earlier was being served.

It wasn't until the waiters had left the table that Alice tilted her head and said seriously, "I have a friend ......" but she didn't think she could make it up in the middle of her sentence, she spread her hands, "Oh, who am I fooling, I used your name, you know this kind of restaurant is always full, but in fact, there are a few places left for people like you to visit suddenly." Tim said it worked, and I thought why not give it a try? So we're sitting here now. ”

“hmmm... I just want to know if that means I'm paying for it for a while?"

"Of course. Alice said, raising her glass, "Thank you, cheers." ”

"Cheers. Lu Ling took a sip of red wine, put down his glass, and smiled, "I really can't believe it, this used to be the most intense and busy time of the year for me, and the summer transfer is about to end, and now I actually sit here to eat with you." ”

"Speaking of which...... Alice said as she took her phone out of her bag and placed it on the table, "if you don't mind, there might be a call for me." ”

"No problem. ”

"You're going to need this vacation. Considering that there are all kinds of comments about you right now, it's a good idea for you to take a break. Alice took a breath, "Seriously, I love your new hairstyle, and you know it makes you look at least five years younger." ”

"I'm young, come on, I'm only thirty. ”

"Twenty-five isn't a bad thing, is it?"

"Indeed, thank you, dear. Oh yes, you look like you're twenty-one. ”

"Well, if you're going to lie to me, don't be perfunctory. Twenty-one? What are you kidding? I'm also happy with how I look and how old I am...... Twenty-seven, how's that?"

"Of course, dear. ”

"Don't talk about work today?"

"Nope. “

"So what about your feelings?"

Lu Ling smiled and sighed, "There's nothing to talk about." ”

"Don't have a new date?"

"Let me think about it, I haven't experienced a serious relationship in the last twenty-six years, but I've been in love with two men for the last four years, and neither of them have worked out well...... Oh, according to a reporter, I've lost the most important man in my life, and I think I'd better take a break. ”

Alice looked at her face, and she said it lightly, but always a little sadly, and she asked her, "Is it still heartbreaking?"

Lu Ling was stunned for a moment, and replied with a slight smile: "Yes." "She's not going to deny it, it's always going to heal, but it takes time.

"Oh, finally—" Alice looked at the waitress who was walking to their table with a plate, "I'm hungry." Since you're not going to talk about your relationship problems, let's talk about mine. Oh, and Hans seems to have a girlfriend. ”

Lu Ling's eyes lit up, "Yes, that's great." ”

The waiter set the appetizers, asked them if they were satisfied with everything, and left the table with an affirmative answer.

Alice nodded, "He told me that himself, and now that he thinks about it, he probably wants me to tell you this." ”

Lu Ling smiled and took a sip of wine, oh, that German boy who always held his square chin high.

"Does that bother you?"

"What? Hans? Of course not, I'm glad he ......."

"No, I mean that article, that you □□ inferior complex or something, you read it, right......"

Lu Ling laughed, "Oh, I know that article, Steve showed it to me." No, it doesn't bother me at all. "The Sun wrote about this kind of thing a long time ago, and if she was still the same person she was back then, it might have affected her a little, but now, no way. "They also say that I raise horses because of my low self-esteem and my deep yearning for aristocratic life...... They really should investigate carefully, my mom comes from a wealthy middle-class family, oh my god that's not good, my dad comes from a blue-collar family, yes, but he also made it to the national team, and I'm not from the bottom anyway, of course, you know for some people, my accent has defined my origins, ey is always ridiculed...... I wonder what they'd have thought of it if they knew that my two horses were from Nick and Patter......"

"It's the first time I've heard of it, so one of them gave you a horse, right? What a fighterous two!"

……

****

On the morning of September 2. There are still more than a dozen hours left before the summer transfer window closes.

Patrick opens the curtains. He saw a bustling neighborhood around the mansion across the street from his home. While journalists can't get too close, they should be equipped with enough equipment to keep them up to date.

It was Neymar's home. Patrick smiled, turned to the window, pulled out the phone charging cable, and picked it up. He opened the p and sent a message to his Brazilian teammates. He knew that Neymar would not have been able to go out today because he needed to fly to Brazil for the national team assembly.

But will he travel to Manchester for a medical check-up before he travels to Brazil?

Is it going to the blue team, or is it going to the red team? That's what the media is interested in.

Zoe circled around his legs, presumably hungry.

"Good girl, wait a minute, I'll be fine in a moment. Patrick finished sending the message, crouched down and rubbed Zoe's head, and headed downstairs. Zoe hurriedly followed.

He has several more frames on his bedside table, including photos of him and Tina, as well as photos of Tina alone. When the morning sun shines in and shines on the bright girl in the photo, he is always in a good mood.

Yu Zixiang came to his house once a while ago, and when he saw this, he pouted and said, "It's really outdated." ”

"I like it. He said at the time. He didn't hide anything.

At the same time - near a mansion in Kensington, West London, England journalists were doing the same.

Sky TV even sent out helicopters to keep an eye on Leon Ferreira's movements, as well as the movements at Harrington's training base in West London, much like the winter when Patrick Amber left Harrington.

This is an unprecedented transfer drama. The question of whether Neymar will leave Barcelona and join Manchester United or Manchester City is directly related to whether Barcelona will buy QPR's Leon Ferreira as a replacement. At the same time, Ousmane Dembele is also rumored to be Barca's favourite Neymar replacement.

Tim, who was on the training ground, could even hear the roar of a helicopter overhead. He thought to himself that the same would be true of Vinci Farm in Liverpool.

Even if the reporters are so desperate to dig up the □□, 12 hours before the window closes, the transfer soap opera involving multiple parties is still inconclusive.

In Sky Sports' rolling livestream, the host chattered: "We still think that Leon Ferreira is very likely to complete the deal in the final 12 hours and officially become part of Barcelona, and according to the latest news, Manchester United will beat Manchester City to win Neymar." It is clear that the losers here will be QPR and Manchester City, as they may both end up finding themselves without a replacement after losing their number one star. ”

A reporter from ESPN has even tweeted that Neymar has booked a flight to Manchester and will arrive in the early evening.

But at one o'clock in the afternoon on this day, Leon suddenly posted a photo on Instagram:

【rangers!!! (followed by a number of blue hearts)]

This immediately caused an uproar. Fans on Twitter began to mock the imbecile of the media in England and Spain, and it looked like the Uruguayan striker would stay at the new Queen's Park.

Half an hour later, QPR announced on its official website that it had signed a contract extension with the team's striker Leon Ferreira, which ends in 2024. The weekly salary is reportedly in excess of £250,000 and could reach £300,000, which is the top salary in the Premier League.

Manchester United and Manchester City fans began to rant on social media, believing that Neymar would not come, and of course some were still hopeful:

[If Ferreira doesn't go to Barcelona, but Dembele goes to Barcelona, then Neymar can also come to us. 】

But by 3pm, the Manchester duo fans were completely dead as Barcelona and Neymar himself issued statements saying that Neymar never wanted to leave Camp Nou this summer.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Everton announced that Ousmane Dembele had signed a five-year contract extension with the club, with a weekly salary of more than £220,000. According to Les Echos, Jose Mourinho's Paris Saint-Germain and Sampaoli's Manchester City are both looking to snatch the Frenchman at the last minute, but Dembele wants nothing more than to defect to Barcelona.

When the biggest transfer soap opera of the summer came to an end, the transfer market, which seemed to have no waves, had the last blockbuster news, and it was QPR again-

Paris Saint-Germain's popular French midfielder, 23-year-old Thomas Lemar has joined QPR for £42 million.

As soon as this news came out, the trend of public opinion, which was constantly questioning all summer, immediately turned into a hymn. The headline of the London Evening Banner was -

rafa ! lemar， neves and embolo -- thisthe statementthe defending champions qpr

Rafa can take Lemar, Neves and Embolo – that's the declaration of the defending champions QPR

QPR's transfer spending this summer was carried over a staggering £200 million on the final day – although they also earned more than £100 million from selling people, the actual net investment was £96 million, which is only fourth in the Premier League.

However, the fact that the six new signings combined cost more than £200 million gives fans no reason not to look forward to the new season – they expect Rafa Benitez to be able to truly build QPR into a European giant, with the Champions League a real target in addition to the league in this 'post-queen's era'. Considering Benitez's resume, the outside world is more optimistic about QPR. Their odds to win the Champions League are even in the top six. 166 Reading Network
