Lu Ling walked across the road. She had seen them a long time ago.

Yu Zixiang and Ian are messing around, maybe Zixiang said something that annoyed Ian. Patrick and Abby didn't know what they were talking about. Or did Abby see her first.

Patrick saw his girlfriend waving behind him, and he turned around.

Lu Ling walked to the middle of the road and pressed the green light button. Then she turned her head to look at the other side, saw Pat staring at her, and quickly checked to see if the zipper was not pulled or there was something dirty, but after looking around, she didn't find anything wrong.

Pat wears light blue jeans and a black T-shirt over a black jacket. It's the way he always likes to dress. is like the captain of the football team in an American idol movie, who is sought after by girls. As for the girl next to him, Abby is wearing a beautiful dark V red short dress today, from front to back, eye-catching everywhere.

Maybe one day Pat will become the second Beckham of England, but I wonder if this girl named Abby Roberts will be his Victoria?

At least for now, it looks like it's right.

Ian was simpler, with dark jeans, a plaid shirt, and a puffer vest over the shirt - the most common attire for young people in Britain. Yu Zixiang is hip-hop style, from the shoes on his feet to the hat on his head, all shining. If he suddenly popped out a sentence, "SupYo (yo, how are you)", Lu Ling would definitely not be surprised.

The green light finally came on, and Lu Ling was already choking on the cold.

She walked over.

"Oh poor Christine, look at you cold, boys, lend her a coat. Abby was used to going to nightclubs on Friday nights, but not as exaggerated as she did.

Lu Ling saw that they were about to take off, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said that there was no need. If she needs a coat, she will bring it herself, and it is not like wearing the players on the team.

They got into the car. Fortunately, he sent Trek with a female companion, and the car was full of five people, and he couldn't fit the next one anymore.

The club's in-house Christmas pie is duì and will be brought by those who have family members. Only a very small number of people come single.

Lu Ling's appearance attracted a lot of attention, and her stunning and curious eyes coexisted, she took it all and looked back with a smile.

Coach Nicolás has also joined the "singles club", and the handsome Spanish coach seems to have been on a long hiatus.

Yu Zixiang seemed to say something, Lu Ling looked in the direction of Nicholas a little distracted, and didn't listen to it, so he asked again.

"I said, I remember that Mr. Flores seemed to be a playboy when he was young, and many famous Spanish hosts and models had scandals with him. I don't know why, after joining the coaching industry, I don't even have a girlfriend. ”

Patrick saw Christine's face change, hadn't she heard of the peachy news at all, or did she naively think that the boss was a saint. He said hello to Ian and Zixiang and hugged his girlfriend to the bar.

Ian finally grabbed the handle of his cheap friend, and hurriedly said, "You really pay attention to the boss's love history......"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Zixiang had already shamelessly interrupted, "That's right, I'm a gossip boy, you knew it the first day?"

Ian was choked back by his words. He never said that he could not wait for an opportunity to retaliate, but he never succeeded.

Nicholas rushed towards them with two glasses of champagne. Seeing this, Yu Zixiang and Ian slipped away.

The assistant wore a white sleeveless tight skirt with a little short collar today. The skirt is not all white, and there is a gold pattern on it as an embellishment, and the design is very good. With her height and curves, it is not a problem to control this skirt. Coupled with the combination of light pink high heels, it is sexy and elegant. Her hair seemed to grow a little longer, compared to the first time they met in the tavern. Jet black, with deep black pupils, it is really breathtaking.

He handed her a glass of champagne, stared into her eyes, and said without hesitation, "Christine, you're beautiful." ”

Lu Ling didn't expect him to say it so bluntly, and he blushed a little. She took the champagne and nodded slightly, "Thank you, Monsieur Flores." You're just as radiant. ”

When he first walked over, many of the players' female companions looked back at him. He was wearing a dark gray suit today, and the white shirt inside was surprisingly smooth, and the scarlet tie lined him was particularly angry. He has such a straight figure and looks best in a suit.

Nicholas smiled. Her words were polite, but her tone was reserved, as if she didn't want to cross a line, if there really was a line between them.

********

This kind of internal gathering, everyone is more open. After eating, drinking, and being in high spirits, all kinds of selfies will be put on Instagram by the players for the first time.

I don't know who is in charge of the DJ, and it has always been a rotation of Christmas songs, old-fashioned and festive. The Christmas trees and Christmas lights are dazzling. Lu Ling loves Christmas very much, but has never had a real sense of belonging to this holiday. Maybe it's because Lu Yungui is more traditional and never gives her Christmas gifts. He will only give her New Year's money. Liu Lili will stuff her with all kinds of little princess gadgets in Christmas stockings, afraid that she will not be able to integrate into the Western-style environment, and even more afraid that she will become a boy.

When Lu Ling returned to her seat, Nicholas's seat next to her was empty, and she looked up to see that the man had come to the stage with champagne.

He hadn't knocked on the cup yet, and it was already quiet underneath.

Lu Ling looked around, feeling more and more that his dominance over the locker room should not be underestimated.

"Thank you. I have to say, I don't remember how many drinks I had. The head coach shook his head exaggeratedly, looking slightly drunk, and there was laughter below.

"First of all, I would like to thank all the players and staff for a single step since I took office. A lot of coaches probably won't say it now, but if you think we're going to finish sixth this season, I can tell you for sure that it's definitely not what I want. I want ......" he said and paused, glancing at the audience, they knew what he was trying to say, didn't they?

There are so many unknowns in the promotion play-offs that I have no plans to go to Wembley. ”

Wembley Stadium is home to the promotion play-offs. As soon as he said this, there were voices of approval and echo below.

The morale is so good. Lu Ling thought.

Nicholas continued: "So, if you have to go to Wembley for a play-off at the end, your family don't want to get tickets from me. ”

The players at the bottom were happy, but Nicholas didn't change his face. Lu Ling thought to himself, this guy can't be serious.

Finally he looked at his assistant-

"Also, I would like to give a special thank you to our assistant coach, Christine. Thank you for the wonderful change of formation in the game I missed. Although I was angry about it for a while afterwards...... Well, it's a joke. Anyway, you're a talented coach and I have to say, I rarely praise people like that. ”

Applause and heckling erupted, and the beautiful teaching assistant stood up and raised the champagne in her hand, but it was disrespectful.

"Finally, in a few days away to Bristol City, you know, what we need is—"

"Three points!" someone screamed underneath, and the voice sounded like Yu Zixiang.

"That's right, that's it, Merry Christmas everybody!" he stepped off the stage.

The music immediately started to sound, and finally it was no longer a Christmas song. It was a soothing love song, and soon many people left their seats and danced. Lu Ling looked in the direction of Patrick, they were having a good time, except for Ian and Zixiang, Charlie seemed to have a good relationship with them.

Nicholas walked over to the table, put the cup on the table, and held out his hand to the assistant, "Can I?"

Lu Ling was startled, she looked around, and almost all of the people dancing were originally a couple.

She looked up at Nicholas again, his smiling face, his skeletal face flashing in the flickering lights of the dance floor.

As if he knew what she was thinking, he raised his eyebrows lightly, "Christine, do you care so much about other people's eyes?"

Lu Ling stood up, even though she knew that he said it on purpose, it was difficult for her to go against her personality, and he knew it clearly.

He took her by the hand and walked onto the dance floor, then put his arm around her waist.

His hands are strong, but his grasp of proportion is soft. There seemed to be a strange electric current flowing through her body. When Pat scored the first goal, he hugged her, but at the time, he didn't feel that way. At this moment, she didn't know where to look.

Nicholas looked at her expression with amusement: "If you're wondering if anyone is looking at us, the answer is yes. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, though. ”

Lu Ling bit his lower lip without leaving a trace, "Actually, I don't care that much, after all, there is nothing between us." ”

Nicholas caught that moment, and the weird smile on the corner of his mouth grew thicker and thicker, "It's good that you understand." ”

The sound of beautiful music wafts through the dance floor, and the festive atmosphere of the pie adds a touch of romance. Lu Ling followed in Nicholas's footsteps, always feeling a little clumsy. She has never been good at dancing.

Nicholas's eyes never left her face, and then he suddenly said in a low voice, "You can ask me three questions. Personal. ”

Lu Ling raised his eyes to look at him, the expression on his face was full of incredulity. One of the characteristics of the narcissistic personality is that any topic cannot be separated from itself in the end. He's really sticking to that.

"Why should I ask?" Lu Ling stared at his dark brown eyes, not to be outdone.

"I think you'll be interested. He said, not in the slightest.

The love song continued, and there were more and more people dancing, and Lu Ling glanced outside. is such a slow song, Yu Zixiang is actually dancing in the street. She didn't know he was going to do any more. Abby and Ian were coaxing, and Pat was still the same, standing aside, kicking his pocket in one hand and champagne in the other. They attracted a lot of attention, and maybe no one paid attention to her and Nicholas anymore, she thought.

"Have you figured it out?"

She turned her head, and this time there seemed to be something else in his eyes.

"Okay. The first question, why do you know Chinese?"

"My grandmother was born in China and I am one-eighth Chinese. ”

Lu Ling was a little surprised, she looked up at his facial features carefully, she had never looked at him so naturally and so unscrupulously. The man put on an expression that you could observe, but the curvature of the corners of her mouth made her a little nervous.

"Have you seen enough?" his lips moved, and his tone was full of teasing.

She looked away and asked a second question, "Why did you hire me?"

"I looked at your notebook. All. ”

"But—"

"The last one. He interrupted her almost in a commanding tone.

She pursed her lips, not knowing whether to ask or not. He waited patiently, but the hand that held her hand moved, tighter than before.

As the words came to her lips, she asked something else, "...... Why...... Retire so early?"

"Don't you understand? Do you think I'm going to let myself mess around in a third-rate league?" Nicholas looked at his assistant, a hint of anger in his eyes, and his tone became strange, "You didn't want to ask this, did you?"

At this time, the love song switched to dance music, and Lu Ling hurriedly let go of his hand and walked to the seat. Nicholas looked at her back, his face cloudy.

In the distance, Abby tugged at Patrick's arm and lowered her voice with some excitement, "Oh God, Pat, look, Christine is ...... your boss."

Patrick glanced at it, not quite understanding his girlfriend's point of interest, "What?"

"Can't you see the spark between them, I'm going to be electrocuted standing here. I bet the two of them would have ...... by now if they weren't in a sensitive relationship."

Hearing Abby say this, Patrick turned his head to take a closer look, and they returned to their seats one after the other, and there was nothing new. He shrugged his shoulders, "I can't tell. ”

"Trust me, it's a woman's intuition. Abby gave her boyfriend a blank look, and men are always aware of it.
