Lu Ling turned her head, but her fingers did not stop moving, and then there was a bang, and the wooden cork was pulled out by her. Patrick stood across from her, eyes fixed on the bottle in her hand. Lu Ling noticed his gaze, so he picked it up and looked at it, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" Patrick shook his head, looked away, and said, "I'll go get the wine glass." Four, huh?" he said, realizing that it was nonsense.

In the kitchen, it's a bit lively. Nicholas and Amber were busy chatting about what kind of steak and what kind of red wine they should go with. Patrick listened to a few casual remarks, but he didn't study it, couldn't interject, and of course, had no interest in interjecting. He thought that Tina, in fact, didn't care about that either. And if Steve and Nate were there, they would probably be excited about the topic as well.

Amber turned to Patrick's side and asked, "Did Zixiang and Ian leave so early?"

Patrick was grabbing a glass from the cabinet when he nodded, "yes, they have a training session tomorrow." ”

"I thought the birthday party you were talking about was at least a party, but I thought it seemed like the most boring party I've ever seen. ”

Patrick shook the cup in his hand and smiled, "I think it's pretty good." ”

"And what did you eat that night?" asked Nicholas, who was marinating the steak with his back to them.

Amber glanced at him, "Ah, you put coriander seeds, I like it." ”

The Spaniard looked back and smiled, "This is actually my secret recipe, and you found out." ”

Patrick glanced at the beef, and then his gaze met Nicholas's, who didn't seem to have answered his question. He pouted at him, "Pizza." I love pizza. ”

"Oh, everybody loves pizza, except for Christine. Nicholas said with a smile.

The voice of the person whose name was mentioned came from the living room, a little dissatisfied, "Nick, I never said I hated pizza, I just didn't like it that much. Pat, the cup. ”

"I like it. Amber said.

****

Patrick put the glass on the table and reached out to Lu Ling, who handed the bottle over. He poured his glass intently when he heard her whisper to him, "Do you know Amber can cook?"

Patrick replied, "She's good at it, but according to herself, she's lazy and busy, so she rarely does." I've only eaten what she made once. ”

"Don't tell me it's pizza. Lu Ling pursed his lips and wanted to laugh a little.

Patrick's wrist paused, and then he said seriously, "No, it's not. The pasta she makes is delicious. ”

All four glasses were filled with wine. Patrick put the bottle down. As he looked up, he glanced across the room, and finally his gaze fell on her face, on her eyes.

In the kitchen, the two men were still talking, and English was mixed with Spanish.

Lu Ling also looked at Patrick, and then smiled silently. Her eyes, she thought, would be blue-green in indoor light and azure in natural light. His pupils flashed, and he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Ling nodded in the direction of the kitchen with his chin, "Nick and Amber hit it off at first sight. ”

Patrick laughed too. In his imagination, this scene should be embarrassing and absurd, but now it doesn't seem so bad. At least for now. He could have refused, it was his birthday, and he could have dragged Amber home. It's just that he hasn't had time to say happy birthday to the girl across from him in person.

He suddenly held out his hand to her.

Lu Ling took a step back pretended to be defensive, still with a smile on his face, "What?"

"My birthday present. Patrick said.

"There were no birthday presents. Lu Ling said.

The disappointment on his face flashed, and the outstretched hand seemed to want to take it back, and it seemed to want to go a little further.

"But I sent you a birthday card to your home in Barcelona. Lu Ling picked up two glasses of champagne and prepared to go to the kitchen, "At least it proves that I still remember." ”

"Tina, you're so stingy. Patrick lowered his arms, his expression like that of a little boy for a moment.

"Oh please, you're so rich!" Lu Ling glared at him, "I promise you, Christmas, and next year's birthday, as long as you write me a list of gifts, I will buy according to the list." I'm really bad at picking gifts, you know. ”

Patrick shrugged. She had already made her way to the kitchen. He picked up the champagne on the table and took a sip. Then, he walked to the CD cabinet.

****

"You can go and be a chef, Nick!" Amber said exaggeratedly.

"Well, I promise you, if one day I don't go to the restaurant as a football coach and you come to interview my deputy, I'll give you a direct pass in the first round. Nicholas said as he flipped the steak over.

Lu Ling smiled silently when he heard the conversation between the two people. Nick had told her that he would be that type of boyfriend.

The kind of boyfriend that a girl brings home with a moderate amount of girl's mother.

She remembered, she asked him, "Why do I think you've seen a hundred girls' mothers?"

He said, "Take it easy, I just want to see your mother, and I only have a moderate interest in meeting your mother* so that she can like me." ”

At that time, she smiled wryly, "It's a pity that I have a bad relationship with my mother, and I can't see Nick Flores with my mother*." ”

She remembered the embarrassment of Christmas...... Thoughts wandered so much.

Of course, Amber is not her mother, and Nick and Amber's conversation is far from being called*, but if Amber is her good friend, Amber will definitely say after Nick leaves, "A, your boyfriend is so charming, will he propose?"

Inadvertently, he captured the hearts of the important people around the girl he liked.

Nicholas looked back and saw the girl with a glass of champagne in both hands. He winked at her and lip-struck, "Come here." ”

Amber caught a glimpse of this scene and walked out playfully, "Call me when you need me." ”

Lu Ling walked up to Nicholas. She was about to hand him a glass of champagne, but he took both glasses and placed them on the table. Then he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Suddenly, the music sounded.

Lu Ling's whole body trembled, and Nicholas felt that the body in his arms became a little stiff, hugged him tighter, and kissed more devotedly. His attack was so strong, she thought, she had nowhere to run. As the music rises and falls, she goes from simply cooperating with him to attacking him. She put her arms around his neck. He chuckled lowly, temporarily off her lips, and said, "Babe, I miss you so much. His voice was soft and deep, and his tone was soulful. If it weren't for his gaze drifting behind her, the corners of his lips raised slightly, Lu Ling would have forgotten that there were two people in the living room. And now, she knew, Pat must have been behind them at some point. She didn't look back, she thought, and even if she did, he would definitely be gone now. She leaned in and bit Nicholas's lip hard.

She knew the man, she knew her too well.

Because they had been on the phone in the car, when they got out of the car, she and Amber saw not only Pat, but also Nick coming across the street.

Nick is not a person who will be very warm to strangers, never has been. But he actually sent an invitation to Amber, of course, because Amber told Pat, "Honey, I'm hungry." When he asked her again, did she refuse? She didn't hate Amber, she even liked it a little. However, the four of them should not be in the same house, they just shouldn't.

Of course she knew Nick's motives.

Nicholas snorted in pain, and immediately pinched her chin and bit her.

Lu Ling also hurt a little, she broke free, and said in a low voice, "You like to draw territory so much, why don't you pee around my house, it's much simpler." ”

He let out an innocent chuckle, "Babe, you've misunderstood me. ”

Lu Ling turned his head.

He added, "If I say I just want to have dinner with the famous Amber, will you go from anger to jealousy?"

"Your steak is mush-"

"I turned down the heat when you came, you can't fool me. ”

“…… Nick, don't you think that's too childish for you?"

He smiled and half-turned, "It's a biological instinct. A man will be like this at the age of twenty, and he will still be at the age of forty. It has nothing to do with childishness. On the court, when he provoked me with that celebratory gesture, did you think about how I felt? Don't forget, you have the same couple tattoos on you as him. ”

As he spoke, she remembered many moments, the faces of the two men intertwined......

She walked over and hugged him from behind, "You don't have to, he's with Amber." ”

Nicholas turned off the fire, and then he grabbed her hand around his waist and asked softly, "Do you think Amber is stupid?" Or are you stupid? Or are you just pretending you don't know anything?"

"Nick, you don't understand......" Lu Ling muttered, Pat was the one who gave up first, he made what he thought was the right decision, no one could change him, and neither could she. "It was a misunderstanding that I broke up with you, but I didn't separate from Pat because of a misunderstanding, it was his choice, and it was my choice, a clear breakup. He's not the boy who makes a ll gesture after scoring a goal, not anymore. And you know. ”

Nicholas didn't speak for a long time, and after about half a minute, he turned around, grabbed her hand and put it to his mouth and kissed it, "I'm sorry, I'm not a generous and kind person. I wish I was, but I'm not. Neither is he. And you, too, neither. ”

Lu Ling nodded lightly. She couldn't deny it.

"I promise you that I won't do anything to make everyone uncomfortable tonight. He continued to whisper.

She looked up at him, and his lip was swollen from her bite and oozing blood. He bit her too, but not so hard. She touched her fingers to his lips, wiping away the scarlet.

He grabbed her finger again and kissed it, staring into her face, "So I'm not mistaken, you're a little vampire indeed." ”

Amber's voice came from the direction of the living room, "Nick, Christine, please tell me if we disturbed anything......"

Lu Ling and Nicholas looked at each other and smiled, and Nicholas shouted, "Dinner is ready." ”

****

They talked about Patrick's injury, about the situation in the Premier League, about La Liga, and about Amber's two recent new films. Everything was in order, and everyone seemed to be happy with the atmosphere, with the food, with the wine and champagne.

Patrick added some more mashed potatoes to the plate. Theoretically, he shouldn't be hungry, he ate pizza. He wasn't a big appetite either, although the Spaniard's cooking skills rivaled that of many of the high-end restaurants he visited. He just can't let himself be idle.

Nicholas sat across from him, and the man's lower lip was a little swollen to the right, and he could see it at a glance.

It should have angered him, or grieved him, but it didn't seem to be. He's just a little sluggish. He numbly forked a small piece of beef into his mouth, then forked some mashed potatoes, then took a sip of red wine, and then continued Nicholas's words in a steady tone: "Yes, thank you, I'm officially twenty-two years old." Just now, Zixiang teased me, saying that Messi has won the Champions League and the World Footballer of the Year at my age......"

"I don't think it matters at what age you get those Oscars, a lot of famous actors don't get their first Oscars until they're 30," Amber said. She was nominated once for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, but didn't win it. This was said not only for Patrick, but also for herself.

Nicholas shook his head, "No, that's different. The professional life of an actor can even be lifelong, but the longest career of a football player may be 25 years, and for most players, it is actually only 15 to 20 years, or even less. So, as a talented footballer, Patrick really has the sooner he gets those accolades, the better. After he finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Lu Ling in a low voice, "Babe, your steak is a little longer, is the taste okay for you?"

"It was great. Lu Ling felt the smell of meat between his teeth and said in a low voice.

Patrick took another sip of red wine, "Fernandes...... Nicholas was right. He turned his head at Amber and laughed at himself, "Ambie (Amber's nickname), you can still act when you're fifty, and I can't play in any top league when I'm fifty...... I wondered how bad my team was, or even the league I was in, if that did happen. ”

Everyone laughed.

Lu Ling smiled and said casually, "Maybe I will still sign you, as long as your stomach doesn't look like a round ball at that time." ”

Nicholas Nunu mouthed, "Considering most of the players have gained weight since retiring, I doubt Patrick will be able to avoid ......"

Amber glanced at Patrick and grinned, "I don't doubt it. He's like a little monster (R) who always has an insatiable amount of energy......"

When the word popped out of the pretty girl's mouth, Lu Ling and Patrick lowered their heads at the same time.

“r...”

……

“i\'r...”

Half a second later, one said they needed to add wine, and the other said they needed some black pepper.

Amber didn't know for a moment what he had said wrong, and Nicholas's face sank.

The dinner ended in a hurry.

Amber hugged Nicholas and kissed him three times on the left and right cheeks, and she had to tell her......

Patrick and Lu Ling faced each other. The door was already open, and there was some wind, whirring. She opened her arms first, and he hurriedly hugged her. Neither of them said anything, the hug was brief, just right, and his left hand brushed over her waist as he let go of her. The location should be on the upper edge of that tattoo.

"Hopefully you'll be back on the pitch as soon as possible. She smiled and said to him, "Happy birthday, Pat!"

"Thanks, Tina. He tried to tell her happy birthday, but he didn't.

"Will you go back to Barcelona tomorrow?" Lu Ling asked.

"No, he's flying with me to New York tomorrow and we're going to see Nickiminaj's concert and he's going to be one of the guests. Amber answered the question for Patrick.

Lu Ling tilted his head and said to the two, "Wow, that's very good...... Enjoy your vacation. ”

****

The club swings and the white ball holes.

In the sun, on the green, the beautiful man walked over to Steve. He wears beige pants and still has a metal protector on his right foot. The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up to his elbows, and he wore a beige shirt on his shoulders, and some hairspray was applied to his blonde hair. Raise your chin and pout. Looks like the cocky guys that Steve hated growing up with ten years ago.

But he's not them.

He wasn't one of those kids who went to private school and went all the way to Oxford or Cambridge, he wasn't one of those kids who hunted in the fall, skied in the Alps in the winter, and spent the summer on a yacht on the Mediterranean......

He was Patrick Amber, an ordinary boy born in East London who loved to play football.

In this country, it is extremely difficult to cross classes. Unless you're gifted at something.

Steve reached out his palm at Patrick, who shook it and mercilessly reminded his agent, "Twenty pounds." ”

Steve then took twenty pounds out of his pocket and slapped it on Patrick's hand.

Patrick put it away, "This can buy a nice bottle of vodka." I told you, this bet doesn't make sense, I can't lose. ”

Steve grimaced, "You're talented in any sport, aren't you?"

"You can think of it if it makes you feel better. ”

Steve put away his club and asked, "You flew to New York with Amber in the afternoon., can I understand that your relationship is getting serious?"

Patrick ripped the beige shirt off his shoulders. In February, it was still very cold, but he still sweated a little when he exercised.

"Does that matter?" he asked the agent.

"We're probably talking about an Amber empire, I mean the next Beckham family," Steve said. ”

Patrick picked up his bag, "If there really is an Amber empire in the future, I'll definitely consult you, but until then, I tend not to tie my feelings to business. ”

Steve chuckled, "You're exactly like Christine." ”

Patrick looked up at the greenery, where they had played golf nearly two years ago. He longed for her so much that he put his arm around her and swung that shot......

It was a wonderful May, and a wonderful summer all along, and he thought, could there be a more wonderful summer in his life than that?

Before saying goodbye to Steve, Patrick gave his agent an envelope.

Steve shook it, heard a voice, and asked, "What is it?"

"Help me hand it over to Tina. Thank you. ”

"You don't give it to her personally?"

Patrick hesitated and shook his head, "No. Please help me give it to her today, thanks. ”

****

Like the birthdays of the previous two years, the players prepared a birthday cake for Lu Ling.

That night, she was in the office eating a birthday cake with Nick while still working.

The man on the other end of the phone was apologetic, he couldn't stay in London for two nights in a row, he was busy with work, this time period was a rare period of recuperation for the team, and he couldn't give himself two days off.

Lu Ling can completely understand this.

In fact, with Everton reaching the Carabao Cup final, the pressure on Nick during the so-called recuperation period will be a little more than her.

How could she not understand him?

"I think the reporters at your door or my door must be disappointed that on your thirtieth birthday, I, as your close friend, actually stayed in Liverpool......"

'Ah, they wouldn't have thought the Everton boss had come to London a day earlier. ”

Nicholas laughed, "Oh, you don't know. ”

Lu Ling was a little puzzled, "What?"

"I was in London last night, and the Sun reported the news that you and Amber had a great conversation on the show, and of course they speculated that Amber was coming to London for Patrick's birthday...... Etcetera. From a gossip news perspective, they're really professional......"

"Yes, it's too professional......" Lu Ling smiled helplessly.

"Do you like your birthday present?" he asked.

Nick gave her a horse. Not only for birthdays, but also to commemorate their encounter.

But not a dark horse. He said, "You already have a dark horse." So he gave her a red horse. The name is all chosen, Scarlett. (Nick actually uses the name (scarlet), which is the same color as Lu Ling's Narcissus tattoo.) ）

She muttered last night, "It's my horse, I should have chosen the name." ”

After dinner, he was in a bad mood and said, "You can call her whatever you want, anyway, she'll be called Scarlett to me." ”

She knew why he was in a bad mood because of Amber's words, because of her reaction to Pat at that time.

She couldn't explain it, but it was a shared memory of the boy she had loved......

And he didn't ask, perhaps, he didn't want to know what the reason was. He tried to hide and suppress it, and then they had a sweet and passionate night.

"Like. "Lu Ling went to see Scarlett at the horse farm this morning, and then Scarlett will be taken care of by Amy.

However, Scarlett is a Scottish bantam.

"She looks so stupid...... Although she is cute. Lu Ling remembered Scarlett's appearance, very cute, cute and distressing.

"Isn't that similar to you?"

"I look smart!"

"I know, I know, babe, I admit, she's not like you......"

……

They chatted for a while before it ended.

Lu Ling received a call from Steve before arriving home, saying that he had something to give her. When she got home, Steve got out of the car, hurriedly stuffed her with an envelope, said it was from Patrick, and left.

Lu Ling was stunned with the envelope.

As Steve's car drove away, she shook the envelope in her hand and heard the sound of metal hitting a leather bag.

Not only did he not tell her happy birthday, but he also gave her back the key to her house.

She smiled lonely, then opened the door.

She slipped the envelope into the drawer at the door.

The 26th round of the Premier League is coming as scheduled.

However, the top three Everton, QPR and Arsenal do not have league games to play this weekend. Because Everton and Arsenal are going to compete for the Carabao Cup on Sunday, while the QPR is because this round was originally scheduled to play Arsenal.

Since none of these three teams will play in the league, it gives fourth-placed Manchester City the opportunity to rely on one more game to temporarily close the gap in points.

After this round, Sampaoli's Blue Moon beat Crystal Palace 5:0, temporarily surpassing Arsenal with 59 points, and rose to third with 61 points, but has not yet caught up with Everton with 64 points and QPR with 62 points. Liverpool and Chelsea are still struggling to catch up, but the form of the top four is too crazy for it to close the distance for a while. Manchester United and Tottenham have basically fallen out of the race for the top four.

However, Chelsea and Manchester United are still in the Europa League and still have a chance to qualify for next season's Champions League by winning this competition. This is somewhat similar to the situation last year.

At Wembley on Sunday, Everton and Arsenal played in the Carabao Cup final.

In this game, Nicolas made a slight rotation due to the fatigue of the players recently, and Arsenal came out with the main force.

As a result, the two teams played 1:1 in the 90th minute. In extra-time, Everton's Forness Mori was injured and Arsenal were beaten by Alexis Sanchez.

Allegri, an Italian, lifted the trophy.

The League Cup, although not heavyweight, is the first title Nick Flores has won as a coach. After the game, the Spaniard's somber expression said it all.

He did not stay in London that night.

Sometimes, playing a good lover is the opposite of being a hard-working manager.

****

At a time when the Premier League is ushering in an unprecedented semi-final race, and La Liga leaders Barcelona are also under pressure, and the absence of Patrick Amber has left the team a little lacking in energy, although Neymar can still play consistently, Messi's form has been up and down, and the 31-year-old has been so this season. Real Madrid, who finished second, kept the gap at one point.

The title race in Europe's top two leagues is extremely interesting, but on social media, fans talk about more than that.

[I really want to know how Lu and Flores reconciled, is it because there is no obstacle after Amber went to Barcelona?]

[Last week, a reporter from the Mirror said that Real Madrid wanted Flores? I don't think he will leave Everton this season unless he and Lue break up again?]

[Football in this era has changed its taste, and there used to be only the lace of the players, but now there is a love affair between the coach and the coach...... Convoluted. 】

[I don't care if Lu and Flores have played each other, as long as the game is good, right?]

[Hopefully this season's Premier League title is not something that Everton and the QPR manager discussed in bed.] 】

[Conspiracy theories, I think Flores deliberately reunited with Lu.] If it's Allegri or Sampaoli in second place now, I'm sure the Spaniard will leave them behind. Does anyone agree with me?]

In fact, Kristen Lue and Nicolas Flores have never publicly and explicitly admitted to being back together, but various photos and reports that have appeared in the newspapers have unmistakably pointed out: the two have become lovers again.

The heat of the story has never gone down on social media, in the fan base, and even in the news in the non-football sector.

March is here.

Everton and QPR both won their opening game of March, with QPR thrashing Leicester City 6-1 away to continue their recent impressive form as Leon scored another hat-trick. Everton struggled a little bit but the leaders beat Stoke City 1-0 away.

This was followed by the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

On Tuesday night, Everton and QPR kicked off the Champions League at home at the same time.

Since QPR had a 3:0 lead in the first leg, Lu Ling made a lot of rotations, and finally won 1:0 with the goal of Batshuayi, who came on as a substitute, thus eliminating Sporting Portugal with a total score of 4:0 and easily advancing.

Phil Warren, the centre-forward who started this time, once again failed to get on the scoresheet. He kicked the billboard hard as he was replaced.

Lu Ling patted Phil's head, because she was in a good mood, she said to him in a mocking tone: "Instead of thinking about winning my money, it's better to find the direction of the goal...... How did you succeed in becoming a father with such accuracy?" she whispered at the end of her sentence.

Phil sat down on the bench in a huff. Zixiang and Jacob beside him couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Phil tilted his head and said angrily, "What the fuck are you laughing at, idiot, and you, northern idiot." ”

Jacob turned his head and continued to laugh, while Zixiang replied: "You behave like this, and you still call others stupid, did you see Missy (Batshuayi) go up and score with the first touch of the ball?"

Phil stopped talking, put on his clothes, and hung his head in frustration.

On the other hand, Everton swept away the recent bad luck at Goodison Park, leading Juventus 2-0 in the first half, and then there were no more surprises, and finally eliminated the Serie A champions with an aggregate score of 3:1.

****

On the phone, the Spaniard smirked, "Honestly, I don't want to meet you too soon." ”

Lu Ling held his mobile phone on his shoulder, "To be honest, I don't want to meet you too early." ”

"What if I do?"

Lu Ling looked at the trees outside the window that had begun to turn green, "In case you run into it, you just wait to be asked by me." ”

Nicholas laughed twice, slightly mocking, "Same words, for you." But, now, tell me how much you miss me. ”

Lu Ling deliberately teased him, "Actually...... I didn't miss it that much. ”

"Oh, really? I think you miss me a lot......"

……

****

In the 28th round of the Premier League on March 9, Everton and QPR won again, with Everton beating Southampton 3-1 and QPR beating a scrappy Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.

Prior to this game, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino was rumored to be in a managerial crisis. With a four-four season almost assured, Tottenham boss Levy is ready to change the team.

At the moment when the whistle blew at the end of the game, Lu Ling looked at Pochettino, who was walking over and had no looks, and was very emotional.

In the past two years, it has been rumored that Tottenham is going to change the coach, but it seems that this time, it may really be changing.

Pochettino remembers the one who gambled all the fights in the pouring rain? Even she had forgotten about herself. But how can you really forget?

Now, the Argentinian has a gloomy look on his face. After shaking hands, Pochettino didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Lu Ling's shoulder moved, football is like this, maybe one day, he or Nick will also be in Pochettino's situation.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League are all decided this week. The Premier League makes up half of the world – and there is no doubt that it is the four teams in this season's Premier League title race: Everton, QPR, Manchester City and Arsenal.

After a period of slump, the Premier League has re-emerged in European competition, not only in the Champions League, but also in the Europa League, where Chelsea and Manchester United have reached the quarter-finals.

La Liga two strongmen Barcelona and Real Madrid, and Bundesliga two Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund also entered the quarterfinals.

The three leagues have won the quarter-finals, with some commentators saying it is the least suspenseful quarter-finals, while others believe it will be the most exciting quarter-final tie in Champions League history, regardless of the draw.

Friday, March 15.

In the cafeteria at Harrington's training base, everyone was glued to the TV screen.

The guest of honour in the draw was former Champions League winner Steven Gerrard, the Liverpudlian who kept rolling the ball and then took out one of them.

"Queens Park Rangers. "A strong Liverpool accent sounded in the players' cafeteria in Harrington.

was actually the first to be pulled out. This was the thought of everyone in the restaurant, including the young Indian girl who was cleaning the coffee machine at this time.

Next, the second ball drawn was QPR's opponent in the quarter-finals.

Lu Ling's palms were a little sweaty. The camera also swept over Tim's face at the scene.

Gerald stirred the ball in the glass bowl again.

Lu Ling held her breath, her heart was completely suspended, and she had a weird and weird premonition.

h.

By the time these words rang out in her heart, Gerald had already pulled out a small ball.

The Liverpudlian slowly opened, and a smile suddenly flashed on his wrinkled face.

"Barcelona. ”

Lu Ling was still staring at Gerald's mouth in a daze, while the mobile phone in her pants pocket vibrated violently at this moment. 166 Reading Network
