By the time I left Harrington, it was already dark. As he passed by Tim's office, the teaching assistant looked extremely surprised, simply shocked.

"You're going home now?"

Lu Ling didn't know how to answer for a while, she and Tim have always been close, at work, very happy to work together, and in private, they are very good friends. She didn't want to lie to him, she didn't want to be perfunctory to him, but she didn't want to tell the truth even more.

Seeing that she was silent, Tim hurriedly smiled and said, "I wish you a nice night." ”

Lu Ling said that you are too.

****

Steve calls at dinner to say that the keys won't be delivered to Harrington until tomorrow morning, and Lu Ling is tempted to complain, but she doesn't say anything, she hangs up Steve's phone and goes outside to call Patrick.

The situation is not bad.

Pat is still in London today, and he is sure the keys are with him. He told her to give him a call before he got home.

Afterward, she received a message from Nicholas before the end of the dinner.

I don't think so, I think you can always find a way to get home. We'll be there when you get home. 】

Lu Ling arrived home at around nine o'clock. She called Patrick in the car, and within a minute he was out.

She got out of the car and smiled at him, "Thanks, if it weren't for you I might have to go to the hotel tonight." ”

He nodded, said it was okay, and opened the door for her.

She went into the house, stood by the door and asked him, "Would you like to come in and have a coffee?"

He put his hands in his pockets, just looked at her, and didn't speak for a long time.

She asked, "Or a glass of wine?"

Patrick looked at the half-light face, wishing he knew what to do. Should he give her back the keys? Should he ask her if she had a good night last night? Should he go in for a cup of coffee or wine? He didn't know the answer. So he can only pestle there.

She then said, "That's good, thank you again...... Good night. ”

Patrick still didn't move, he hurried out, wearing only a short-sleeved T-shirt, he felt numb, he couldn't feel anything.

In the light and wind, she may have glanced at his left arm. He wasn't sure.

"Good night, Tina. He turned.

****

When Lu Ling was in a trance with Nicholas, the whole person was in a trance.

His background voice is a bit of boisterous Spanish, and his younger brother and sister, father and mother, seem to be on the side. He quickly became impatient with his family's curiosity and said hello and went to his room.

In fact, Lu Ling didn't care, she wouldn't have been indifferent if she had done before, but tonight her attention was not on those things.

"So you didn't get the key today, and Patrick opened the door for you?" he asked.

She replied, "Yes, I invited him in for a cup of coffee or wine, and he didn't seem interested." He and I will probably need some time, I mean back to the way we used to be. ”

"Is it because of this that you've been absent-minded all night?" he said a little sarcastically, "and I've always thought it's not wise to be friends with someone you've loved. ”

Lu Ling changed his hand to hold the phone, thought about it, and said, "Most of the cases are like this. For example, after I separated from you, it seemed difficult to be friends. But I've known Pat for too long, and for him, I've been almost the whole of his life. When she said this, she found that the man's expression on the screen stiffened a little, she quickly stopped and apologized, "I shouldn't talk to you about this, it's really unwise to talk about each other's past." Like I'm not going to ask you how many girls you've slept with in the past two years. Moreover, I'm absent-minded not because of Pat. I had dinner with my mom and dad tonight......"

"Is there anything I need to know or that you'd like to tell me?"

Lu Ling hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

She had actually wanted to tell Patrick about it earlier, and she wanted to tell Tim or Alice about it tomorrow. Of course, she also wanted to tell the man who was talking to her. But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't speak.

You can't choose what kind of person your parents are, and you can't completely decide what kind of relationship you want with your parents. She knew what a close family relationship was like, and Nick and Pat came out of that kind of family. And she, Phil, and Nate were at the other end. Of course, you could also say that Nate suffers much less than Phil, because at least Americans are not a material level.

"Is there really none?" Nicholas asked again, frowning.

Lu Ling looked at the time and said, "No, you also saw what it was like when I was with them, and the same was true tonight." I've got to sleep, Nick. Oh, and I don't think we'll see each other around the New Year. The game is too busy. So, I probably won't have time to see your family either, I'm sorry. ”

"Don't worry. I looked through the schedule and I thought it would be more difficult. We may not meet until 8 January at the earliest, when we play Fulham in the first leg of our Carabao Cup semi-final. ”

This is similar to what Lu Ling thought. She squeezed out a small smile, "I'm looking forward to it." ”

"Me too. He seemed to sigh and added, "You look a little sad, the two best things in the world to heal sadness, one is sexual high and the other is food, it's a pity that I'm not there, otherwise I can provide you with both." ”

This sentence made Lu Ling really laugh: "Then I promise you, if I am really sad, I will definitely pick at least one to complete by myself." ”

"Good. Remember to let me know. Good night. He winked at her and smiled.

She liked his smile and she said goodnight to him.

In reality, there is nothing but time that heals grief. Sexual high / high tide and gourmet can only be relieved. It's like a cold. Only time will heal you, and all cold remedies are nothing more than symptom relief.

Lu Ling knew this very well. And what she knows better is that the real sadness is far from coming.

December 29, the 19th round of the Premier League.

The morning game was Arsenal's match against Manchester United, who scored at the Emirates Stadium. The result of that game was 2-2, with Ryan Giggs' Red Devils taking a point at the Emirates Stadium, which is undoubtedly good news for both Everton and QPR.

Next, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Everton won 2:1 away at Leicester and sealed the halfway championship position.

At half past five in the afternoon, it will be a QPR competition. The second tough game in this busy Christmas-New Year fixture – home to Liverpool.

Liverpool have been desperate this season as they are still unable to challenge for the league title and are currently fifth. The top four are realistic targets, but there are reports that the Reds' hierarchy's patience with manager Jurgen Klopp is gradually disappearing.

If Liverpool still fail to secure a Champions League place this season, as they have done before, then Klopp is very likely to be sacked. The successive departures of Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho this season have proven that it is no surprise that a manager has been sacked in this brutal league.

Previously against Sampaoli's Manchester City, QPR's 11-game winning streak was terminated. However, they are still unbeaten in the league since the beginning of October.

This is the last league game of the year. When Lu Ling walked onto the court, she was still greeted by warm blue and white waves and an ode to her.

At the beginning of the game, both teams were a little slow to heat up and made mistakes. The frequent fixtures took a toll and it was a big loss for QPR that John was out of action today due to the flu.

Liverpool began to target the right flank of the QPR, but fortunately youngster Joey Tomlin, who replaced John today, played with composure and made no mistakes.

Jurgen Klopp stood on the sidelines, but the head coach of QPR went to the dugout after shaking hands with him and never got up again. On the other hand, the QPR assistant coach would stand on the sidelines for a while from time to time, and occasionally give some instructions to the players on the field to remind them to stand.

Jurgen Klopp was a little tired from standing in the cold wind and he also returned to the dugout, and he went back to see the QPR manager's face very gloomy.

After that, QPR got into the rhythm of the game faster than Liverpool. Jacob Harding scored a volley from the edge of the box to give the QPR the lead.

Ian celebrates with a fist on the ring, then looks to the sidelines.

Strangely, the head coach just high-fived Tim next to him, and didn't even get up from his seat.

Tim had already noticed Lu Ling's strange emotions, and when he high-fived her, he said: "Christine, we scored a goal, and the players need your enthusiasm." ”

The assistant coach's voice was low, but Phil, the substitute in the back row, heard it.

He thought to himself, what's the matter with the boss? In this kind of competition, if you open the score, you will jump up as usual.

Then he found that something was not quite right, how did he become the boss of the person he had always called her "bitch" in his heart......

QPR went into the break with a score of 1:0.

In the second half, Lu Ling only made a simple deployment. Due to Batshuayi's slight strain, in order to prevent aggravation, Lu Ling asked Phil to come on as a substitute.

Phil immediately beamed with pride.

As soon as the second half began, the score changed again. Phil Warren had just come on and had a great chance to touch the ball for the second time, and Sorin Mitulescu's pass was just right, and he controlled the ball in the box and hit the goal!

2:0！

Phil screamed and rushed to the sidelines, he was going to rush to the manager and tell her that he was three goals away from the bet. But her face was only slightly happy, and she immediately returned to calm, which made him lose interest. Phil then hugged the assistant coach and hurriedly returned to the field.

Whatever, my Phil Warren scored consecutive goals against Manchester City and Liverpool, why am I so good...... He glanced at Leon again, what was the ability to score against Stoke City...... And this time we won't be unable to take it, will we......

Ian and Zixiang looked at the home team's coach and whispered a few words, and Hans also looked in that direction. In fact, Hans had to notice much earlier that the manager's mood was not right, and she didn't seem to have laughed much since this morning.

Phil is still basking in the euphoria of his goal. And a new song actually sounded in the stands:

isabadass

isabadass

he*edmancity，he*edbbc

isabadass

Phil Warren is a ruthless character

Phil Warren is a ruthless character

He Man City, he the BBC

Phil Warren is a ruthless character

Phil became even more arrogant, and when he passed by Yu Zixiang, he also said: "They all call me badass, but they seem to call you a "stupid"? hahahahahaha......"

Yu Zixiang replied with "stupid", not too much with Phil. Pat didn't come to the scene today, and Christine was covered in a dark cloud, and he couldn't tell if the two were connected...... The Asian boy didn't think about it anymore, it was a game.

However, then, the QPR did not completely crush Liverpool, Phil wasted two good opportunities in a row, and he himself was a little embarrassed. In the 76th minute, Liverpool pulled one back through a penalty.

At this point, the whole new Queen's Park began to get nervous, and the manager finally stood on the sidelines.

Fortunately, after more than ten minutes, QPR did not repeat the mistake of the past and retained the 2:1 victory.

After this round, the Premier League is over halfway, and in the standings:

Everton 15-3-148 42:18

qpr15-2-247 at 41:11

Arsenal 14-4-146 at 40:18

Manchester City 12-6-142 at 40:18

Liverpool 10-6-336 mins 36:21

Tottenham 9-7-334 at 31:24

Chelsea 9-6-433 at 28:18

Manchester United 8-7-431 points 31:24

For the first time in history, the top four teams all scored more than 40 points after the halfway period, with the big headline on Sky Sports going like this:

ry？

The best top-four teams in Premier League history?

And another piece of news that has attracted some saliva is:

In the post-match press conference of the QPR game against Liverpool, a reporter asked the QPR boss why she was not excited about the two goals. Kristen Lu's answer was more perfunctory, saying, "Of course I'm happy, maybe just because it's too cold today. ”

It wasn't supposed to be news, but then a well-known journalist tweeted what he thought was a witty but very untimely joke:

"Probably just a normal mood during the menstrual period. ”

Just two minutes later, the journalist deleted the tweet, but it was still seen by many fans, causing discussion. 166 Reading Network
