Chapter 140: Passing by

Throughout March, apart from the two draws at the beginning of the month, Wimbledon was all about winning, winning, winning, and winning. From March 13 to March 31, four league games, all won.

With 10 rounds remaining, Wimbledon Athletic 29 points ahead of second-place finish, and early promotion is basically a reality, and the possibility of them not being promoted only exists in theory - unless Wimbledon Athletic loses all of the next 10 league games, and Wallingford, who are second in the league, win all of them, can there be such a shocking comeback. But such an outcome is almost unlikely.

Wimbledon Athletic won't let a win run away.

After the 36th round of the league, which is the penultimate round of the 11th round, the players of Wimbledon are extremely excited - they only need to beat their opponents in the next league to be promoted nine rounds early!

"Guys! We're going to the eighth level! I've been in this ninth division for two seasons, and I've had enough time! This time next year, let's celebrate the success of the seventh level! "Joe. Shirin held up the beer can in his hand to everyone.

On the way home, the excited players moved boxes of beer to the bus and started drinking the celebration wine.

"Upgrade!!"

The players raised their drinks in response to Schilling.

The elimination of the FA Cup is a long time ago, and the players of these days are no longer nostalgic for the FA Cup, they are more interested in league promotion.

Eames sat up front and didn't organize the players to drink after the game. In fact, having a drink after the game is a tradition in English football in itself, so there's no fuss about it.

Chu Zhongtian also had a can of beer in his hand, he had just taken a sip, and there was a circle of white foam on the side of his lips.

He was also thrilled at the thought that an upgrade was just around the corner.

It's Wednesday and he's skipping class again to compete. This is not news to those who know him. Since January 3 this year, he has skipped almost all afternoon classes, constantly training and competing, and feeling the fruits of his experience.

He forced himself to forget about his academic worries and devote himself to playing football.

As for what to do with exams and credits...... This kind of problem should be left until it is upgraded.

"Guys, we'll see you in the eighth division!" Shirin raised the jar in his hand and drank it down.

The others followed him and drank the beer from the can.

Then a group of people lay down in their chairs, burping and giggling contentedly.

It's been a fantastic season for their group of amateurs.

They reached the main draw in their first FA Cup appearance and created an upset in the third round by beating a betraying Wimbledon side. And that's not all, they still won in the fourth round against a tough opponent like Chelsea! After the game, BBC Television voted the match the greatest match in the FA Cup's 132-year history. Although they fell to Millwall in the fifth round, it was a historic result, and it was a remarkable fact that the team reached the fifth round in their first FA Cup season.

Now they are on the verge of advancing nine rounds with an unbeaten record, which is also a remarkable result.

It's been a perfect season, what will happen next season?

Many people turned their heads to look at the scenery outside the window and thought to themselves.

β€»β€»β€» Chu Zhongtian was hesitating about one thing - the upgrade was a gift he said he wanted to give to Emily, although it was a year late, but now the promise has been fulfilled. But do you want to tell Emily about this? Do you want to invite Emily to the game?

If it had been a year ago, he wouldn't hesitate to go to Emily, tell her that the team was about to be promoted, invite her to watch the game live, and celebrate the great moment together.

But now, he had to think about it. Emily hadn't been to the team for a long time, and hadn't been to the game since the FA Cup game against Millwall.

In this regard, Emily explained to Chu Zhongtian like this: "My mother is strict, and there are many games that I can't watch......"

In the past, Emily couldn't see those ordinary leagues, and Chu Zhongtian didn't think it mattered. But this game is very special, and if Emily is not there, it will be a pity.

He didn't even know if Emily still knew what the team was going to do, if the next round was the day the team would be promoted early if they won.

Do you want to tell her?

He knew that if he told Emily about the situation, Emily would definitely go to the game. But wouldn't it be hard for her to do so? Her mother will definitely not agree, and will it have any impact on her acting career?

Chu Zhongtian didn't know about this.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian is also a celebrity now, and in terms of the number of fans, he is even more famous than Emily. It's just that he has passed a low-key life, and his thinking has not changed for a while, and he has not yet realized how to be a star. Emily is different, she was born to be a big star.

At school on Thursday, Chu Zhongtian didn't see Emily, and he heard Philip talk about it as if he had gone to take a cover photo for a fashion magazine.

On Friday morning, he still hadn't seen Emily, and he didn't even know if Emily would come to class today. Maybe there's something going on again, right? Maybe in the afternoon?

But Chu Zhongtian could only wait until noon, and in the afternoon, he had to skip class as usual to participate in the team's training to prepare for tomorrow's crucial game.

After practicing dribbling and passing alone in the school grove at noon, he waited at the school gate with a football in his arms. Hoping to see Emily's figure appear in front of him, then smile at him and say, "Hi, sorry I'm late." ”

Waited until the bell rang for class, and she didn't see Emily either. Borger came out of the school and snickered as he looked at him in anticipation. Then he walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "I'll go first, Chu." ”

In fact, even if Chu Zhongtian didn't wait for Emily's words, Borjie wouldn't go with Chu Zhongtian. Because he was going to take the car to the king's ranch, and Chu Zhongtian would run with the ball.

"Okay, I'll see you at the King's Ranch in a moment."

After Bolger left, Chu Zhongtian waited unwillingly for five more minutes, but still didn't see Emily. He decided not to wait any longer.

Putting the football on the ground, Chu Zhongtian began to practice running with the ball again, and the target was still the King's Ranch.

β€»β€»β€» At the end of the first class, Charles. Philip and Joseph. Kenny is arguing over who is going to buy food for a moment when they catch a glimpse of Emily, who is peering in the doorway.

"Emily? How's the work, is it still going well? The two men put aside their arguments and got up to greet them.

"Hey, it's okay......" Emily looked around as she perfunctory.

"Don't look for it, Emily." Kenny coughed when he saw her like this, "Chu isn't here. ”

"Hey, did he skip class again to train?" Emily asked.

"Well, tomorrow is a big game!"

"We're going to upgrade early, aren't we?" Emily answered.

Kenny was happy: "That's right! Upgrade nine rounds ahead of schedule and go undefeated! ”

Philip asked, "Tomorrow's game is very important, we're going to watch it, what about you, Emily?" ”

"Of course I'm going." Emily shrugged, "Why didn't I come to school for the past two days?" ”

"Why?"

"Because I compressed three days of work into two days, hehe, I have time tomorrow!" Emily smirked.

But then she pouted: "I still want to tell Chu the good news, but he has already run away......"

Philip and Kenny looked at each other and clenched their fists together.

"It's alright, Emily. I'm sure Chu will be able to see you on the pitch tomorrow! ”

"Thank you, Charles, for being a good man!" Emily thanked Philip and waved goodbye. "See you at the stadium tomorrow, my mom is still waiting for me outside, I have to go!"

"So busy? Isn't the job done? ”

"Hehe, there's still a little bit of ......" After saying that, Emily turned and ran away.

Philip and Kenny looked at her back and shook their heads together, "Chu Ke is such an enviable guy......"

A group of drunkards happily chatted about the bits and pieces of Wimbledon Athletic's past two seasons, and some people said: "Look back in a few decades, we are the veterans of this team!" ”

Chu Zhongtian still didn't see Emily.

When he returned to the apartment after finishing his work at the bar, he saw Lao Yang, who had not yet slept.

"Da Chu, is it four o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow?" When Yang Yang saw him, he asked for the specific time of tomorrow's game.

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Well, kick off at four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Hehe, I'm going to go then." He gestured to the digital camera and lens on the table. "Such a commemorative scene, I have to shoot it, and then go back to China to show off to them, haha! Behave better, Da Chu, let me give you a few more! ”

"Uh-huh......" Chu Zhongtian saw him and suddenly asked, "Have you seen Emily at school today?" ”

"Emily?" Yang Yang shook his head, "No, I didn't see her. Why, you haven't notified her yet? ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded, his brows furrowed.

"Don't think about it, she's a big supporter of Wimbledon, how could she not know the importance of this match? Rest assured, she will definitely be in the stands tomorrow. Yang Yang comforted.

She's been so busy these days, will she really come to watch this game?

Chu Zhongtian had such a question in his heart, but he didn't ask it, but buried it in his heart and went to sleep alone.

β€»β€»β€»The next day was a good day, and you could see it from the bright sunshine in the morning.

"That's great." Everyone who comes to Wimble's bar for a drink will look up at the clear blue sky as they come in. "The weather indicates that we will upgrade this game early, haha!"

"In weather like this, there will be more people going to see the game than ever before and I think the Kings Ranch will definitely be full again. I said guys, we're going to have to go early, we'll have to 'listen' outside when it's late! ”

Chu Zhongtian works in a bar, and he can earn a little more, but now Boss John doesn't persuade him to rest. He knew that this kid couldn't get tired at all.

Chu Zhongtian came here to work today for another purpose, hoping to meet Emily.

But he was disappointed, and until he was about to leave for the King's Ranch, he didn't see Emily either.

"I'm leaving, everyone." Chu Zhongtian said goodbye to the drinkers at the door.

"Be careful on the road, Chu! Do well during the game and we'll cheer you on! ”

"Let's get a clean victory!"

The crowd flocked to the door and waved at him, bidding farewell to his back.

"I always feel that Chu is a little absent-minded today......" Old Bent muttered after entering the house.

"Where? I think he's fine. Jackson shook his head.

"It's because of her......" Boss John suddenly pointed to the door.

"Hi guys!" Emily's voice rang out in the doorway.

"Wow!" Someone was taken aback, Emily appeared so suddenly...... "Why are you so surprised?" Emily's eyes widened and she asked curiously.

"Uh...... We thought you wouldn't be here today, Emily. Jackson scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"How is that possible? This game is so important, I can't miss any game and can't miss this game! Emily walked in and sat down at the bar.

Boss John didn't wait for her to say what she wanted, and went straight to pour her Guinness stout.

"Hey...... hey" he laughed as he poured his drink. He thought of Chu Zhongtian's stupid boy.

"Did Chu just leave?" Emily discovers that it is Boss John who serves her.

"He didn't leave here until two minutes before you came." Old Bent replied.

"Hmm......" Emily pursed her lips and frowned, a little disappointed. If I had come earlier, I would have met again, but now we can only meet after the game.

β€»β€»β€»Chu Zhongtian was running on the road, and he didn't know that he had passed by Emily twice in a row. As he breathed as he breathed, he slowly forgot about Emily, and he began to use the time to think about his future - now he could occasionally wander away with the ball without worrying about losing it. After practicing day after day for almost two years, running with the ball has almost become a part of his body.

With his team eliminated from the FA Cup, Xu Xiaodi told him that in the past month or so, the popularity of him in China has cooled down. Xu Xiaodi said worried, but Chu Zhongtian felt that this was a good thing, no one would bother him, and no one would bother his parents, maybe he should be firm in his idea of going to school, and after the team was promoted ahead of schedule today, he would temporarily abandon the game and training, study with peace of mind, and strive to make up for the homework he had left behind in the last few months.

In fact, after this game, the school will be closed, and the school will be closed for the Easter holidays, and classes will reopen in three weeks. During last year's Easter holiday, Chu Zhongtian spent time in constant training and competitions. This year, he wants to change his way -- study with peace of mind, actively prepare for exams, and avoid repeating grades.

It's my farewell game this season, so I have to play well. When the game is over, say goodbye to your teammates and coaches for a while, and return to the team when the new season begins.

Chu Zhongtian thought so and ran towards the King's Ranch.

β€»β€»β€»When Chu Zhongtian ran to the King's Ranch, he could clearly feel how different his teammates were today.

It was as if it was less of a race for them and more like a long-awaited festival of joy. There was a lot of discussion, but it wasn't about the game, it was about where to go after the game to celebrate the early promotion.

Some people have fans to drink, some choose to spend time with their families, some go to spend time with their girlfriends, and others have to settle it themselves.

Joe. Schilling clearly belongs to such a bachelor.

"Hey! Clear! Have you figured out how to celebrate after this game? Do you want us to have a drink then? Don't get drunk and don't go home? "Joe. As soon as Xi Lin saw Chu Zhongtian coming, he hooked his neck and smiled at him. "I can also find you a beautiful girl and help you solve it...... You're still a virgin, aren't you? It just so happened that it was solved together! Hahaha! ”

Chu Zhongtian blushed a little when he heard him say about recruiting prostitutes. Basically, although he knows those things between men and women, he is still a complete rookie in terms of experience.

"Joe, don't take Chu badly!" Andy. Sullivan coughed beside him.

"Hey, you've got a girlfriend, of course. We poor bachelors can't do it ourselves, can we? Shirin pouted. Then he turned to Chu Zhongtian and said, "What type do you like?" Innocent and lovely? Or is it hot? I'll tell you, Russian chicks are very punctual! Good figure, good technique! ”

"Alright, guys!" Captain Kevin. Cooper helped Chu Zhongtian relieve the siege. "Let's change our clothes, I'm going out to warm up."

Chu Zhongtian from Qiao. Shirin escaped under his arm, changed into his clothes and sneakers, and ran out of the locker room.

When he came to the stadium, he saw that many people had come to the stands of the stadium one after another. He first set his eyes on the fixed stands at the Wimbledon Bar, where there were no one yet, and it looked like they hadn't come yet.

Will Emily be in it?

β€»β€»β€» "Yang! ”

Yang Yang was queuing up to enter when he heard a familiar voice from behind.

He turned his head and saw Emily and Boss John, a large group of them, standing in line more than ten meters away from him.

He looked ahead, and it was almost his turn.

So he said to a fan behind him, "Come on." Then he quit the group and ran to Emily and the others.

"It's a pleasure to see you here, Emily!" Yang Yang said with a smile. "I think if Da Chu knew that you were coming, he would be happier than me."

"Well, I actually wanted to tell him I'd come to see this game, but I always missed ...... him," Emily shrugged. But it doesn't matter, I'll go to him after the game. ”

"Hi guys." After Yang Yang greeted the others, he stood in.

"Hello, Yang. How was Chu resting yesterday? "Everyone is very concerned about Chu's state.

"I think ......" Yang Yang glanced at Emily who was standing in front of him, "It's not special, okay......" and he laughed.

Before Jackson and the others could understand why Chu hadn't rested well, his roommates would laugh. And Boss John and old Bent both understood and laughed. And they were looking at Emily when they laughed.

"Why?" Jackson asked recklessly.

As a result, he was slapped on the back by Boss John.

He suddenly understood. hurriedly covered up: "Ah, I know why, it must be that this game is too important!" Ha...... It must be like this! ”

"That's right, it's quite important!" The crowd looked at Emily and laughed.
