It was finally dark, and Nicholas yawned as he closed the curtains. It's weird, they slept before it got dark last night, and even though they got up early today, they slept for eight hours, and during the season, he sometimes slept only three or four hours a night or even didn't sleep all night, and he didn't feel so sleepy. Thinking so, he yawned again.

"You should be asleep, old man. ”

Her voice came. Nicholas looked at her, still leaning back on the bed and reading, without raising her eyes.

"I really should, young lady. Nicholas yawned a third time, and then he went around to the other side of the bed and got into bed.

She hadn't raised her eyes, her slender fingers turned over a page, her brow furrowed slightly, as if she was looking at it with great engagement.

"Don't you feel sleepy reading this kind of book?" he shifted to her, glancing casually at her book. She's reading Pep Guardiola's biography, and she's already read more than half of it.

"I think it's okay. She finally turned her head to him and smiled faintly at him, "Gilliam Balague is a good book. ”

"My agent said I should publish a book about my own story, and I should find this journalist to write it. The second half of Nicholas is joking, Gilliam Balague supports Barcelona and Liverpool, and even if he is interested, Balague may not agree. Thinking of this, the corners of Nicholas's mouth unconsciously curved.

She knew what he was thinking, of course, but she just gave him a funny look, and her attention had returned to the book. But after a while, she took the initiative to ask, "Then what do you think?"

"I thought you wouldn't ask. I told my agent that I didn't need to sell books to support myself for the time being. ”

"Haha...... Did Pep need it at that time? I guess, according to you, the players and coaches who came out with biographies are all on the verge of bankruptcy, counting on selling little stories for the fans to feed themselves?"

"That might be. Nicholas pouted, "You mean girl, you know I'm joking." ”

"Of course I do, but, Nick, why not?" she asked, interestedly, closing the book and placing it on the bedside table, leaning over to the side.

Nicholas stared at her face and asked with a smile, "Why wouldn't you?"

"I don't need to sell books to support myself for the time being. ”

"Of course you don't need to, anytime you're short of money, you can call fashion magazines and they'll go crazy for you. ”

"Thanks, you're good at flattering girls. ”

"I'm good at flattering you. He said and kissed her on the cheek, "Babe, seriously, why don't you publish a book to tell those who like you what kind of person you are and what you are thinking?"

"Nobody wants to see my story. ”

". Everyone wants to see how Kristen Lue became the queen of the new Queen's Park. ”

"Don't make fun of me, Nick......" she thought about it, Steve did mention it a while ago, she blinked twice, and said slowly, "First, I'm tired of dissecting myself now, and I haven't confided in me for a while, neither to reporters nor to the world, and second, I haven't met anyone I think is appropriate to help me with this." ”

"Aren't you going to take a break, you can write it yourself. ”

She rolled her eyes, "Forget it, I'd rather let someone who is professional in writing do it." It takes too long to write a book, and I don't think I have enough time. Just because I'm no longer a manager doesn't mean I'm fine. And, as talented as I am at a lot of things, I don't think writing is one of them, just like I would never go and demonstrate to the players myself. ”

"I can. Nicholas replied triumphantly.

She looked at him incredulously, half-frowning, and smiling a little, "Oh Nick, you're really good at this, aren't you?"

"Please, babe, you've seen countless videos of my playing days and seen my footwork with your own eyes......"

"I'm not talking about that. ”

"Are you talking about it?"

"You've managed to avoid my question. That's what you do when you're in front of reporters. ”

Nicholas laughed, he leaned closer, "HMM yes, but this time it's different, it's not that I don't want to answer the question, well, I'll tell you why......"

"Let me guess. She interrupted him.

Nikolaas stared at her face closely, and said suspiciously, "I suddenly think you already know the answer." ”

She raised an eyebrow, "You don't think you're successful enough to be a true championship coach yet, and writing your own story now must be like a damn joke to you." In fact, this is one of the reasons for me. ”

Nicholas took her into his arms as she was halfway through her speech, and when she was finished, he kissed her on the forehead, "What a good girl for me." ”

She leaned into the crook of his arm, closed her eyes, and made no sound.

Nicholas looked down at her. She's so pretty, he thought. It's been so long, but when he looks at her like this, he still feels heartbeat. But she looked tired, as if she was about to fall asleep. He remembered what she said about falling out of her hair, and he looked at her hair, and he touched it, and it was a little thin.

After a while, he asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

"It's coming. She mumbled.

"Do you have any plans for tomorrow?" he asked, with some regret, and added, "Or let's sleep and wake up tomorrow." ”

Her head moved twice on his shoulder, her voice sleepy, "Do you have any plans? I seem to have an interview or something, I don't remember, I need to check the schedule, it shouldn't be anything particularly important......" She sat up straight before she finished speaking.

"What's wrong?"

"Zoe seems to be outside the door. She said alarmedly, and listened attentively.

"Oh my good, I closed the door. Nicholas let go of her and got out of bed, "I thought she was asleep, maybe she's awake again." I'm going to open the door. ”

"Nick......

Nicholas turned back.

She looked at him and asked hesitantly, "Do you mind?"

Nicholas was slightly stunned, and immediately shook his head with a smile, "No, of course not." He looked her in the eye, "We don't have any other plans than to sleep tonight, do we?" Let's hope little princess Zoe doesn't bite my feet while I'm asleep. ”

"She won't. ”

Zoe was literally outside the door, and as soon as the door opened, she yelled at Nicholas twice.

"Hey, Zoe, don't do that. Lu Ling shouted, "Come here, good girl." ”

Zoe snorted and jumped onto the bed.

Nicholas followed behind and sighed silently, "It was I who gave her a bath today, and she was not at all grateful. ”

"Yes, you two girls almost got into a fight. ”

Nicholas went back to the bed, he leaned over and kissed the girl next to him, "Forget it this time, next time I say that, I'll spank you." He wanted to kiss Zoe, but the pit bull looked at him with a wary look, so he gave up. He turned off the wall lamp on his side and lay down flat.

Zoe stayed in bed only for a moment, and then jumped down on her own, and she obediently lay at the foot of the bed next to the hostess.

Lu Ling also turned off the light and lay down. He stretched out his arm at her, and she quickly moved over.

"Now I know she's a spy sent by Patrick. He said above her.

"Oh my God, Nick, she's a dog. ”

"A smart and quirky dog who doesn't like me. ”

"You're not serious, are you?"

"Half and half. ”

Hearing him say that he was half serious, Lu Ling grinned. She suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you had a question for me before, before Pat sent Zoe over." ”

"Oh, yes...... You said you saw my picture in the newspaper that night, and you thought I was pretty good?"

"Did I say that?"

"That's right. ”

"Okay, what's the problem?"

"So you're going to be attracted to me anyway, aren't you? even if we didn't meet at the tavern that night. ”

"Maybe. She snorted.

He hugged her tightly and said firmly, "No, not maybe. I know I'm going to fall in love with you no matter what, no matter how we meet. ”

"What if we never met?"

"That's the point, and I think we're going to meet it. ”

She closed her eyes and kissed him. This kiss turns a thousand times, sprouts**, restraint**.

"Sorry, Nick......"

He controlled his breathing and interrupted her in a low voice, "I understand, don't stress tomorrow or when we go on vacation." We had a lot of time. ”

"yes, a lot of time. She was back in the crook of his arm.

Quiet night, quiet room, and no sound from Zoe.

It's been a long time.

"I'm going to my dad's old apartment tomorrow to tidy up some things. There's also an interview, I remember, it's Sky Sports, and they're going to do a documentary. According to Steve, there are many similar interviews in the future, and it's hard to refuse, and you know that's still my obligation, albeit ...... I'm no longer ...... The boss of the QPR is up. She said that there was a bit of a stumble in the back.

"Sometimes we have to do something we don't like, I know. I have some business tomorrow, but I want to go with you to your father's old apartment. ”

"Good. Good night. ”

"Good night. ”

Lu Ling rolled from Nicholas's arms to the other side, and she looked in Zoe's direction. The mobile phone screen on the bedside table suddenly lit up, and Zoe also got up suddenly and looked over here, Lu Ling was startled. She hurriedly whispered, "It's okay, Zoe." Let's sleep. Good night. ”

Zoe looked at her for a moment, then fell back on her stomach.

Lu Ling was relieved, she picked up her phone and took a look, it was a message popping up by hatsapp, from Patrick.

She put her phone back and was ready to tell him tomorrow.

She took one last look at the bedside table and relaxed her eyelids.

There was a letter on the bedside table, which she hadn't read yet. She told Pat that she would watch when she was ready, but she had no idea when she would be ready. 166 Reading Network
