Lu Ling's gym is a guest room remodeled, not professional, and there are only some basic facilities in it. She doesn't use it much, but she still uses it, and it's very convenient.

As soon as Phil entered, he began to shake his head, "It's shabby. ”

Lu Ling sat on the seat of the butterfly machine, raised his chin towards Phil, and spoke in a calm tone. "Find a place to sit and eat slowly. I ask questions, and you answer. ”

Phil sighed and glanced around. There was still a small table and a chair. Phil walked over and put the plate on the table, then sat down. He was relatively large, and he looked a little funny sitting there, and Lu Ling almost laughed. He himself complained, "This is for the dwarf!" he said and quickly looked at her, "It's not that you're short." You are indeed shorter than me, but ......"

"Phil. Lu Ling called seriously, "Tell me first, why did you beat your father?"

Phil lowered his eyes. He quietly chewed on the turkey meat in his mouth. It was a bit overdone, and it was cold, and he was too hungry to laugh at her and Patrick. He swallowed a few times and then took a roasted potato strip and stuffed it into his mouth. The fries were fine, but they were just as cold and dry. He should put some ketchup.

Lu Ling didn't urge, just waited.

Phil finished eating the potato sticks, licked his lips and fingers, and said slowly in a low voice, "When he was ready to eat, he had already drunk too much. He kept calling me mom bitch, and I wanted to beat him up for a long time. Later, he said...... He said that Tianna was a prostitute/girl, and I couldn't help it. "It's strange that he made a fuss all night without feeling how sad he was. Even because he finally beat up that bastard, he was happy. Later, when he saw her, when he saw Pat, and even when he saw Benjamin, he felt happy. The four of them sat in the car like a real family. But then, his tears suddenly came out.

Phil erased it, lowered his head and continued, "Yes, Tianna's mom is a call girl. Except for my agent and lawyer, only you know about it. I didn't even tell my mother. However, there is always gossip of one kind or another. When he said this, he suddenly raised his head, ignoring the tears on his face, "Christine, Tianna is my angel. No matter what her biological mother's profession is, she is innocent, and I can't let anyone say that about her. She was a mistake I made, but the best of all the mistakes I made. I have to protect her. You know? If that mockbird doesn't call, I'll break that bird's neck. Do you understand?"

Lu Ling found himself crying too. She didn't care about the tears on her face. "Of course. She looked at Phil and said, "Of course. If I were you, I'd beat him too. I'm glad you did. I'm glad you beat him up. She tried to smile at Phil.

Phil looked at her with tears and smiles, he must have been so stupid himself. He laughed out loud and brought out some food scraps. He was immediately a little shy and apologetic, "Boss......"

"Leave it alone. Lu Ling wiped away his tears with the back of his hand.

Phil also wiped away his tears and asked carefully, "Will you fine me for my weekly salary?"

Lu Ling shook his head, "No." But don't do it again. It's not worth it. ”

As if he hadn't heard her, Phil lowered his head again. He asked sneeringly, "Do you remember when I told you that my mother was a good mother, but a very failed woman?"

"Yes. Lu Ling always remembered this sentence.

Phil grinned, not knowing who he was mocking. "She's been a mother since she was sixteen, you don't want to hear her story, it's old-fashioned. …… She has been living in despair. Michael came back to her, and she was happy. But Michael came back for the money, because that bastard knew I was going to give money to my mother. ”

Lu Ling sighed, "She also has some helplessness. ”

"I understand. But I hope that Tianna will have more options when she grows up. Phil suddenly looked up, "...... Like you. ”

"Is that why you like me?"

"Don't flatter yourself!!! Phil smiled slyly and grabbed a piece of turkey meat with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He raised his brow as he ate, "But yes. ”

"Thanks, Phil. Lu Ling leaned back in his chair and whispered with a smile, "You make me think that my parents actually gave me a lot of choices. My dad gave me love and dreams, and my mom ......" She looked at the ceiling and remembered the many times of her youth.

Steaming cookies and boring horseback riding lessons. Remembering when she met her on Long Island, she remembers loving Cookie Dough's ice cream. She remembered that she said that London was a city of pain for her and that she never wanted to come back, but her father was sick and she came back anyway. Also, her real tears at her father's funeral. Also, she never forgot to give her annual Christmas and birthday gifts. I didn't forget this year. The mother did choose her life again, but she did not choose to really walk out of hers.

Lu Ling looked at Phil. A slight smile was revealed. "My mom gave me those, too. Love and dreams, I think these are two of the best things in the world. I see those in you too, I don't know who gave it, but I'm grateful for it......"

"Oh **Do you have a chicken soup app for the soul on your phone?" Phil asked suddenly with a frown.

"Oh thank God, you interrupted, I'm embarrassed!" Lu Ling looked like he was about to be amnestied.

"Seriously, I don't know who gave it. Phil laughed and grabbed another potato stick, "Maybe it's because I don't want to bow to fate." He looked at her, "Maybe it's because I met Lady Luck......"

"You must also have a chicken soup app for the soul in your phone!" this time Lu Ling sarcastically mocked him.

"It's not about you!!You're putting gold on your face again!!!...... 18 percent, remember?" Phil blinked. There were still tears on his long eyelashes. He really looked like a little boy.

"It's you who put gold on my face, and I reluctantly accept it......" Lu Ling smiled. Slowly, she returned to seriousness, "Phil, promise me that there will be no more fights in the future. ”

"I promise. Phil hurriedly chewed the food in his mouth and looked at the manager seriously, "I swear, I mean. ”

Lu Ling nodded, thought about it, and then suddenly asked, "Is there any discomfort in your body?"

"Nope. ”

"Okay, you'll start tomorrow, I promise. ”

Phil immediately grabbed several pieces of turkey meat and stuffed it into his mouth, his mouth bulging and making a sound, "That's awesome!!"

"I think we're done. Lu Ling looked at him with a smile and prepared to stand up.

Phil hurriedly said, "Wait." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Do you remember our 'maybe someday' agreement?"

"Yes. Lu Ling sat back down. "Just ask. ”

Phil's eyes rolled, "I have several questions. ”

Lu Ling looked at the clock on the wall, "Let's get it as soon as possible, okay?" You're my starter tomorrow, I don't want you to be sleep-deprived." ”

"First, will you reconcile with Pat?"

"It's a personal matter. Lu Ling smiled, but she was about to tell him the truth, "Yes." But I need some time to make some decisions. Like you said, I have a choice. But sometimes it's not easy to make a choice. ”

"I knew it. Phil looked at her and said again, "I know." I knew from the day he came back that you were going to be reconciled. ”

"Why?" Lu Ling felt strange.

"Because you're his teddy bear, and of course, he's yours too. ”

"Teddy bear?"

"Oh, it's the teddy bear in the "Teddy Bear" movie that doesn't have □□ and is full of ** girls. ”

"I haven't seen that movie. ”

"It's a shame, you should have taken a look. Phil thought for a moment, then added, "Actually, it may not be appropriate to say that. Anyway, I mean you make it easy for you to make each other not lonely in pursuit of fucking love and dreams, you know? Actually, I've always wanted to know you or Pat sooner, or the three of us have known each other since we were kids......"

Lu Ling covered his mouth and laughed, "We're not even a generation, and I thought you hated Pat......"

"It's not that annoying. You can assume that I'm a few years older, you're a few years younger, and Pat is a few years older...... Okay, okay, back to you and Pat, Tina and Pat Sittinga Tree"

Oh my. Lu Ling rolled his eyes. "Next question. ”

"Can I be your bridesmaid? If you get married. I don't mind wearing a skirt, for you. ”

"Oh fuck! Phil, what the hell ......is going on in your head" Lu Ling stood up in disbelief, but when she looked at the tall and strong boy, she saw that he was very sincere, so she asked, "Are you serious?"

Phil also stood up and nodded heavily.

“…… Okay, I promise you, if one day I move towards marriage. Lu Ling walked towards him.

Phil reached out at her, and she shook it. Phil looked like he wanted to bump her shoulder, but he hesitated and let go of his hand, "You're a little short. He was afraid that she would be angry, so he quickly changed the subject, "One last question." Phil pursed his lips and thought, "Forget it, I can't think of it, let's ask again when I think of it." He added, "Anyway, no matter what happens in the future, I will always stand with you." Remember that? You know I'm going to vote for you to stay. ”

Lu Ling opened his arms towards him, his gaze soft. "Thanks, Phil. Actually, I like you very much, too. Still, I think you know this. ”

Phil hurriedly hugged her. "Nonsense, of course you like me. You're not my boss anymore and let Mr. Louis tell me to find a chance to go out on loan...... I know...... I've been waiting for you to come back. I remembered the last question, why don't you push me away anymore?"

Lu Ling originally wanted to make a joke. But she changed her mind. She thought about it for a moment, but in fact she pushed him away for the same reason as she approached him. She whispered over Phil's shoulder, "You remind me of myself, and you remind me of a little bit of Patter, and later, of my dad." She didn't continue, she couldn't put it into words. And she didn't want to be sarcastically for having a Chicken Soup for the Soul app on her phone anymore, she slapped Phil's strong back, "Who knows." Seriously, though, maybe a decade or so ago, we rubbed shoulders at a fried chicken or kebab shop in East London. ”

"Impossible!!"

"Why?"

"You're so beautiful, I'll remember seeing you. ”

"How old were you more than ten years ago?!"

"You girls are stupid, and all boys have loved to look at pretty girls since they were young...... Pretty girl's boobs and ass. After Phil finished speaking, he suddenly kissed her on the face with his greasy mouth. "Hehe, I'm still in good shape, I know you're going to hug me when I take it off......"

Lu Ling pushed him away and wiped the oil on his face vigorously. "You want a band-aid on the left brow bone, don't you?" she yelled.

"I'm sorry. But Phil's expression wasn't apologetic at all. He grinned and took a tissue and handed it to her.

"Next time, ......" Lu Ling took the tissue, "If you do this again, I will really beat you." ”

"Got it, you threatened to cut me □□"

Lu Ling didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked to the door, and opened the door. "Get out, go home, and sleep well!"

****

Patrick and Benjamin looked back together.

"Oh, Forza Motorsport, I like it too! "Or FIFA, I'll use the QPR in the home team uniform, and whoever says it first wins!" Phil rushed to the couch with his plate.

"Go home! How many times do you want me to say it? There's a game tomorrow! Is this a party night for you, Phil?"

Filnu pursed his lips and placed the plate on the coffee table. Those two are still playing. Phil asked, "Who won?" Neither answered, but one bent the corners of his mouth, and the other kept frowning. Phil then knew the answer. He coughed twice and bluffed, "Me and the boss, it was hot in there just now......"

Patrick glanced at Phil incredulously, "Why are you embarrassed to make such a joke in such a short period of time?"

Phil said fuck, Pat was right. He immediately jumped up and pointed at Benjamin, "Laugh at him! He is the one with the worst physical fitness of the three of us!! He must be the one with the shortest time!!"

Benjamin glanced at Fill, then looked back again, she wasn't looking at them, she was looking at her phone. "On the field is on the field, on the bed is on the bed. Benjamin said.

Phil thought to himself, it seems to be the same, if the bed is the same as on the field, wouldn't the best person on the team be Jake or that damn Zixiang who went to Real Madrid...... However, there are still technical issues that need to be resolved......

"Phil, Ben, Pat, you should go home......" Lu Ling urged.

"A minute. Patrick and Benjamin said at the same time.

Lu Ling shook his head and went to the bathroom.

A minute later, Patrick threw the handle first, and Benjamin immediately threw it too.

Phil asked Patrick, "Did he win?"

Patrick didn't answer Phil. He looked at Benjamin, "Shall we go out first?"

Benjamin nodded. When he got to the door, Benjamin suddenly chuckled and said, "You haven't reconciled." ”

Patrick's movements are quick and not small. He shoved Benjamin against the wall, then pressed his left arm against Ben's chest and snapped, "Ben, I don't want to be a jerk, don't push me." The two stared at each other for a moment. Then Benjamin lowered his eyes to look at the tattoo of the queen of spades. He never spoke.

Patrick abruptly let go of Benjamin and changed his tone, "Thank you tonight." ”

Benjamin straightened his clothes, looked at Patrick, and still responded decently, "You're welcome. ”

Phil witnessed the scene behind them. He didn't make a sound or stop, he just frowned. Patrick turned his head to him and said to him, "Warren......"

"Pat, you want me to side with Benjamin, don't you?" Phil was angry when he heard this.

"Don't use it anymore. Patrick laughed, "Phil, since you don't like it, don't use the last name Warren anymore." ”

Phil looked at Patrick and smiled slowly.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Lu Ling came out of the bathroom and saw three men still at the door. She looked at her watch, "Leave!!" and she walked over.

"Good night, then. Benjamin walked up to her and made a hugging gesture. Lu Ling hugged him and heard him say in her ear, "When you have time, I want to talk to you." ”

"No problem. Thank you tonight. Good night. Lu Ling agreed. In fact, she was a little surprised to hear this. And Ben still put his arm around her waist, though he let her go right away.

"I'm going to hug too!!" Phil picked up the T-shirt on the floor and put it on.

"You've hugged it. Lu Ling showed an impatient expression.

"Yes, I kissed it. Phil added with his head held high, showing off. And this time, he finally saw that both Patrick and Benjamin had depressed and puzzled expressions on their faces.

"He rubbed all the turkey fat in his mouth all over my face. After Lu Ling finished speaking, she still felt that there was turkey oil on her face, although she had just washed it.

Patrick and Benjamin both laughed. Phil snorted.

Lu Ling walked up to Patrick and whispered, "I'll tell you about those things. I don't want you to get me wrong. Tomorrow the game is over. Good night, Pat. ”

"Good night, Tina. Patrick looked at her face and lowered his voice as well, "I'm going to miss you." See you tomorrow. ”

"By the way, Pat, can you take me home?" said Phil as he put on his coat and remembered that he didn't have a car.

"Don't bother Patter, my car is outside, I'll take you back. Benjamin's voice.

Phil looked surprised, Benjamin was so kind, he hesitated. Lu Ling dragged out a long voice behind her, "Say thank you!" She saw that Pat turned his head again, and the smile was saying that Phil was her son.

"Thank you, Benjamin. Phil said reluctantly.

Benjamin chuckled softly, and he looked back at her again, and she smiled slightly and said "thank you" to him. Benjamin lowered his eyelids, looked at her again, smiled softly, and shook his head. He turned around and said to Phil, "I'll try not to dismember you." ”

"Look, boss, this bitch scares me ......"

……

Eventually, all three men left.

Lu Lingchang let out a long sigh. She picked up the gift box. She unwrapped the wrapper and smiled, just as she and Pat had thought. But she didn't open the box inside. 166 Reading Network
