Volume 2 Chapter 41 The Storm Rises
The bright moon is like a hook, full of warm fragrance.
Isabella is actually quite disappointed today, today is her eighteenth birthday, the Maddles have not been able to come back, the younger brother is in Switzerland, and there is only her elderly grandmother here.
Ma Qin originally wanted to arrange it, but she vetoed it, and finally they came to the lakeside of the relationship.
As soon as the game was over, Mackin declined Lucas's invitation to go to the bar to celebrate, and drove over in Peter's car.
The wind was very cold, and there was no summer freshness, and the two of them were wearing winter clothes and gloves and snuggling up to the big rock by the lake.
If someone else sees it, you will definitely think that you are sick.
Isabella held her little hands, stomped her little feet, and looked at the lake with sparkling eyes, and Makqin reached out and tugged her hat down, and helped her pull her neck up.
"Is it cold or not?" , he dragged her little hand and held it in the palm of his hand and said with concern.
She let out a nasal voice and shook her head, looking at the familiar path and the lake, where she likes to walk around when she has nothing to do in class.
She loved this place and her heart was full.
Ma Qin didn't ask her about the family, after going to her house for the Chinese New Year, he felt that his father's state was not very good, and the things he had struggled for all his life collapsed almost overnight, and no one could stand it.
But others can't do anything, although Ma Qin knows history, it really happened in a family, except for watching, he can't help it.
In his previous life, he was just a salesman, so far away from the top of the banking industry and these things, he didn't remember anything except remember that the world began to throw money around the world.
The personal joys and sorrows created by the fate of the times can't be escaped, they can't be avoided, they just happen around them, and they feel the tragic reality.
Isabella has been quieter lately than ever, and he doesn't know what else to do except spend time with her, give her some warmth, and try her best to help her maintain the family.
Wealth, which once made them less troubled in the world, has now become a knife that has been stabbed into their hearts.
He pulled out a delicate cloth bag from his pocket, the gray flannel inlaid with intricate lace, beautiful.
Opening the mouth of the bag, he took out a pendant from it, and under the carefully woven lanyard hung a crystal clear little Maitreya Buddha, moist and shiny, like a floating pool.
"What is this?" , Isabella questioned when she saw his movements.
Ma Qin opened the pendant, wrapped it around her neck, and then dragged the jade Buddha with his fingers, and said to her: "Xue'er, in our place, there is an old saying, called men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, they are our immortals there, and it will bless you."
"Also, we need to send tokens there, what about you, you will be my person in the future, whoever dares to bully you will report my name", said and winked at her mischievously with his left eye.
"Poof", she was so amused that Hua Rong thawed, pouted her nose and said: "Don't make me happy, when I don't know, this is jade, my grandmother is wearing a jade bracelet, it is said that it has been for decades"
Looking at the crystal clear pot-bellied Maitreya Buddha, the carving is very exquisite, lifelike, and the smile is always open, as if it can accommodate things in the world.
Her mood instantly improved, she carefully put the pendant into the neckline, then hugged his waist and said, "Mark, thank you, I will always carry it"
"Didi, Didi", the watch on Mackqin's wrist lit up, flashing happily, and he turned off the time casually.
"Mark, no matter where we go in the future, we're going to come here every year to sit down, okay?"
"Okay, I'll sit as long as you want"
……
Tranquility is always short-lived, the hustle and bustle is eternal, and when the small window on the second floor is opened in the early morning, the cold air accompanied by the noise of the day, piercing in, freezing Ma Qin shivering.
"Ah sneeze~", he wrapped himself in a blanket, his nose was a little itchy, he quickly closed the window and got back into the bed.
I'm a little dizzy, it's over, it's going to be a symptom of a cold!
I played a game last night, I was already tired, I was sweating, I took a simple shower, and then I accompanied Isabella to blow the cold wind by the lake for two hours, but I didn't withstand it.
The biological clock woke him up on time, and as soon as he woke up, he felt that something was wrong.
I feel breathless, stuffy, my throat is dry, and the corners of my eyes itch.
A sneeze completely woke up his drowsy mind, and it was the rhythm of going sick.
Marc Qin was so dazed that he didn't bother to be light-hearted, and woke Isabella up.
She yawned and opened her eyes in a daze, "Ah~ what time is it?" Mark, aren't you going to train yet? ”
"Hmm~", he shrunk the whole person into the quilt, and finally found a little warmth, "Honey, I'm going to catch a cold!" ”
"Huh?" Isabella suddenly sobered up, sat up and touched his forehead with her hand, not caring about her own spring.
"Ah~, it's a little hot", she felt the temperature of his forehead and touched her forehead again.
The little face was full of anxiety and nervousness, "I'll go get you medicine!" She lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
Mark Qin brought her back, "Ah~"
"You're going to catch a cold with me," he covered the two of them with the quilt, and his nose began to rattle.
"Get dressed, go tell Aunt Qiao Ya later, boil me a pot of red ginger syrup, I'll tell you how to boil, no need to take medicine"
"It's all my fault", Isabella's eyes were red and she wanted to cry, "I shouldn't have taken you to blow the wind last night, you just finished playing~"
He tugged at the quilt and pulled out a corner between him and Isabella, so as not to infect her with the breath he exhaled, "Fool, it's just a little cold, as long as you follow the method I said, it will be fine tonight"
"Really?" , she touched the dampness on his body, it should be a cold sweat, a little hesitant.
"Absolutely it works! You ...... like this, go ahead, get dressed, I'll drink a few more glasses and sweat when I'm done, and I'll be fine at night."
"Well, okay", she quickly got dressed and went downstairs to make arrangements.
Mark moved his body to make himself lie more comfortable, reached out and touched his phone, alas, he had to ask for leave.
He first called Jonathan and told him that he had a cold, and that he would arrange it for the media.
Jonathan was also nervous, now he is so hot, he can't make any moths, and when he learned that there was no big problem, he hung up the phone and said that he would arrange for a doctor to come over immediately.
Then he pulled out Benitez's phone and dialed it directly, and for more than a year, the phone number had not been used a few times, nor had it ringed a few times.
"Hey, Mark," there was a questioning voice on the other end of the line.
Mark Qin sat up, cleared his throat, and said, "Hello, BOSS, I'm sorry to bother you so early, but I think I'm going to take a leave of absence today"
"Leave? Why? ”
He sniffled and said, "I have a cold, I only found out when I got up this morning, I may have accidentally caught a cold"
"Cold? Did you go to the hospital for a check-up? Benitez is a little anxious, but don't be a general move for the whole team, then he will have to cry to death.
"I called the doctor, but I think it shouldn't be a big deal, two days at most."
"Oh", he was obviously relieved, "Then you have a good rest, the doctor will inform me of the results after the examination, you don't have to train today, and recover from your illness as soon as possible"
"Okay, BOSS, thank you"
Ma Qin felt that his head was getting more and more groggy, threw away his mobile phone, covered his head and fell asleep.
Ginger is a must-have condiment for the British, and when Aunt Joya heard that Mark Qin had a cold, she hurriedly boiled a pot of ginger brown sugar water according to the method that Isabella said.
……
Melwood was as lively as ever, but the reporters outside the door today were a little strange, why didn't they see Mark?
I didn't see anyone as soon as the game ended last night, so why didn't I come to training this morning? What's wrong?
There was a burst of excitement on everyone's faces, and there was news when there was something, maybe it was still big news.
So they showed their powers, took out their mobile phones and started making calls, and the report was sent out after a while.
"Nova Mark has a cold, does Liverpool have a fever? 》
"At the critical moment of winning the championship, Liverpool's engine turned off! 》
"Ronaldo wins without a fight, good health is really good!" 》
In less than two hours, the news was published by major website news outlets, and then quickly reprinted.
Today everyone is waiting for the sequel to the Great War of Rome, and it turns out that there is a cold.
The doctor quickly came to the door to check on Ma Qin's body, it was just an ordinary wind cold, he suggested that Ma Qin take medicine, but he didn't take it, so he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and left.
Fear of taking medicine has also become a myth for him in the future.
He hurriedly called Benitez, who was greatly relieved and told him to recuperate and come back as soon as possible.
Isabella leaned on the head of the bed to support him, fed him ginger syrup one by one, tired and sweaty, and a little crying and laughing, now he is like a child.
I'm still a year older than him, and I'm usually like a quail egg in front of him, how honest and honest I am, how obedient and well-behaved I am, and I'm used to relying on him for many things.
I didn't expect him to hate taking medicine so much, it's so childish~
The ginger syrup is very hot and spicy, and in order to be good, Mark Qin specially asked Isabella to put more ginger.
He usually doesn't eat a single piece of ginger, but now he is pinching his nose and chewing ginger and drinking sugar water, which is called a spicy.
From the nostrils to the throat and eyes.
Even Isabella was so smoked that she frowned, thinking that this thing could really be better than medicine?
Mark endured the discomfort and drank three bowls, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his head, and his nose was slightly ventilated.
"I'm going to sleep, don't call me to eat at noon, prepare more hot water for me, I'll drink it when I wake up, and I'll be about the same when I sleep in the afternoon", now the only thing he wants to do is close his eyes.
"Well, got it", she put him away like a little daughter-in-law, straightened the pillow and covered the quilt.
Then I wiped my sweat and exhaled, when did I serve someone, why do I feel so happy~
After a while, he fell into a deep sleep, and Isabella tiptoed the curtain closed, and then closed the door gently.
Looking at his sleeping face and smiling, she took a blanket, walked to the small sofa and lay down, and slowly fell asleep.
By noon, the storm had changed dramatically......
I don't know which reporter with great powers actually found Isabella's school, but he also inadvertently intervened.
Yesterday was Isabella's birthday and it was already inquired about by many media, and it was late after the game last night, but some students from the school actually said that they had seen them by the lake of the school.
Although I didn't see it very clearly, it didn't affect the inference.
As soon as the reporter pondered, he figured out the context of the matter, the competition, celebrating his girlfriend's birthday, the romantic cold wind blowing by the lake, and catching a cold the next day, which is logical.
He is a tabloid reporter who lives on lace, how can this be news, regardless of his health, he laughs for his girlfriend.
So at noon, fresh reports came out, and now the network update speed is extremely fast.
"Love Saint Mark celebrates his girlfriend's birthday, causing a cold and missing training", the report was quickly reprinted by major media as soon as it came out.
The popularity on the Internet has also risen, "It's so romantic~, it's good if I'm Mark's girlfriend......", "It's a wave, this day to the lake to blow the wind, the cold is not wronged"......
Benitez had just finished lunch and came back to sit in the office and his face sank when he saw the news!
