Chapter 55: Christmas

Evergreens surrounded by colorful ornaments, red pointed hats, and the smiling white-bearded old man...... When these factors are everywhere in life, it means that the biggest holiday in the West: Christmas is coming. In Spain, Christmas is celebrated not just one day, but from December 22nd to January 6th, and January 6th is also a traditional holiday in Spain: Three Kings Day, which, unlike in other countries, is not until this day when children in Spain receive their Christmas gifts.

Declining Dina's offer and Tapia's invitation, Linson chose the same Christmas Eve as usual, intending to spend it as if it were a normal day, but when he returned to his lodgings, he was invited by the enthusiastic old couple Cruz, because Linsen gave them two tickets to the VIP stands, and gave them a beautiful game: a 4-2 victory over Osasuna.

The old Cruz who originally just maintained a general love for football has a faint tendency to develop into a Malaga fan, and now, when he meets Linson, the probability of the Malaga team appearing has become higher and higher, and Linson doesn't know if he should be happy about this, but it seems that Mrs. Cruz seems to be supportive of Cruz Sr. adding such a hobby.

Lin Sen couldn't refuse the invitation, because Old Cruz was even waiting for him at the door, but when he walked into Old Cruz's Christmas-like house, he saw a strange acquaintance.

"Why are you here?"

When the four eyes met, the two spoke in unison.

Old Cruz, who just wanted to introduce, but didn't expect the two to actually meet, was also a little surprised: You know?

Of course I know.

Lin Sen sighed again in his heart that this world is really small, and the person who is helping Mrs. Cruze prepare dinner is a girl, Ariel, Cinderella's friend, simply put, a friend of a friend, the last time Lin Sen came to Malaga to talk about the signing, the two had met at the Picasso Memorial Hall, and had a meal together.

"This is my grandfather and grandmother, and I've been here for Christmas for the last few years. Say you, why are you here? Are you following me? Ariel was obviously very surprised by Lin Sen's appearance, and she asked with wide eyes, still so eccentric between her words.

"Not really." Lin Sen shook his head and smiled, "I'm Mr. Cruz's neighbor. ”

"Are you really, really sure you haven't stalked me?" Ariel's eyes widened.

Lin Sen couldn't laugh or cry a little, but he also had to admit that this was indeed a coincidence. So, he joked, "Please, Cinderella will be jealous." ”

"Ariel?" The more old Cruz listened to it, the more wrong it became, so he looked at his granddaughter with puzzled eyes.

"Grandpa, don't worry, we're kidding." Ariel smiled at this time, and then briefly explained the process of understanding the two, and the old Cruz was relieved, and then the old Cruz replaced the position of Ariel's dinner assistant, so that Lin Sen had to face Ariel's whimsical questions.

"You're so embarrassed, you didn't even notify you when you changed your phone number, and Cinderella died of sadness."

"It's hard to imagine that you didn't take the initiative to call one of us after that? I asked Boya, and even she didn't receive any indication from you, are you sure your orientation is normal? ”

"I still don't believe it's a coincidence, are you sure you didn't know your neighbor was my grandparent before you moved in? Don't worry, I won't be angry. ”

……

Lin Sen scratched his head again and again, and sure enough, football was much simpler.

Lin Sen has always believed in fate, which is why he is still single. He once had a girlfriend, a Chinese girl studying in the UK, that is also fate, the two have been dating for more than half a year, and then because Lin Sen left the UK, soon the girl also returned to China, gradually, the relationship that was not strong faded down, the last communication between the two was on the Internet, Tong guòMSN, and the last sentence was to take care. Neither of them uttered the word that was destined to be sad.

That is the only relationship in Lin Sen's memory, no blood, no soap opera, just such a plain beginning, and a dull end.

For Ariel, Lin Sen has a good impression, or rather, he has a good impression of Cinderella and the other three, Ariel is cheerful, Cinderella is easy-going, liberal arts and quiet, they are all good young people in the new century, of course, the most important thing is that the three girls are very beautiful. But when it comes to ideas, it is not false to say that there is nothing at all, and the little devil in Lin Sen's heart will occasionally remind him to use his eyes, but since Lin Sen held back last time, this time after knowing that the other party is the granddaughter of the old Cruz couple, he can't be so obscene. In general, Ariel is a friend to Lin Sen, at most it can only be regarded as "knowing each other".

Before dinner began, Mrs. Cruze brought out a few portions of almond pudding, which Lin Sen knew was a small custom before Christmas dinner, eating almond pudding before eating anything else, and whoever ate that whole almond would be the luckiest person for the coming year. Generally speaking, if there are small children in the family, parents will deliberately save the share of almonds for the children to make them happy.

"Better luck than anyone." Ariel looked at the patch on the table with two big eyes like a child, and said with a look of hope, "You are a guest, you choose first." ”

"Are you sure?" Lin Sen's eyes flashed, and he directly pointed to one of them and smiled, "Then I want this." ”

"Don't think about it?"

"That's all."

"Okay, I want this."

With that, Ariel directly picked up the one designated by Lin Sen and said with a sly smile.

Well, it was tricked.

Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't laugh or cry again, but he forgot that at the last meal, Ariel said that they studied psychology.

On the one hand, watching his granddaughter eat almonds from the pudding designated by Lin Sen, the old Cruz couple looked at each other and smiled.

In their eyes, whether it is Ariel or Lin Sen, they are children.

Christmas dinner, in the Chinese parlance, is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, what you want is family reunion and shared food, the old Cruz couple only gave birth to a daughter under their knees, so since they got married, they are basically two old people who rely on each other for Christmas, perhaps in consideration of this, after Ariel went to college, she basically came over every Christmas to spend with her grandparents, and Ariel's parents naturally would not object.

During dinner, not only did the old Cruz couple frequently ask Lin Sen questions, but Ariel also kept asking Lin Sen trouble, which made Lin Sen feel a little moved and helpless at the same time.

Lin Sen couldn't be clearer about the intentions of the three of them, it was nothing more than considering that he was an "outsider" and didn't want to let himself "see outside".

It's just that in fact, this is really unnecessary, because although Lin Sen has been abroad for much longer than at home, Christmas is still not as important as the Spring Festival in his mind, not to mention, he has long been accustomed to spending the holiday alone, and he has long seen this kind of thing very openly. It was precisely because he didn't want others to help him hurt that he had rejected Dina and Tapia's invitation, but he didn't expect that he still didn't hide after all.

However, for the kindness of the old Cruz couple, Lin Sen was moved and a little ashamed at the same time. Unlike Dina's friendship, nor is it a colleague relationship like Tapia, the relationship between Lin Sen and this old couple is only limited to neighbors, Lin Sen thinks that he has not helped the old couple much, and some of them are mostly hands-on, but the old Cruz couple obviously cherishes this "neighbor relationship" more than Lin Sen.

The old Cruz talked about it, and in the end, he returned to the Malaga team.

Like many new fans, Cruz Sr. was clearly more interested in a transfer than a tactical one, and he was quick to ask what his plans were for a winter move to Malaga, to which Linson could only laugh and tell him not to expect too much.

This is a fact, after failing to get the commitment to stay in the team from Koke, Linson has not been able to identify a more suitable replacement so far, which makes him even have the helpless idea of "the most self-formation", thinking that if Cork really leaves at that time, he will simply let Reus go directly to the top, but in this way, Gundogan can only continue to "cameo" in the forward position.

In fact, it is not that there are no candidates in Lin Sen's heart, but the operability is not great. In the position of left winger, there are many potential stocks, Hazard, the future Belgian core of the Lille team in France, and Pastore, the "Argentine Kaka" who has not yet landed in Europe...... These are all smash hits in this position in the future, but Malaga is still in a "naked" state in terms of budget, even after selling Coke, it is only 2.5 million, and with Málaga's current league rankings, Lin Sen has no doubt that if he falls in love with someone, then Malaga will definitely not be able to get any benefit in terms of price.

At this time, Ariel, who was sitting next to her, was enjoying a big meal while listening to her grandfather and Lin Sen chatting about football that she didn't understand, and suddenly interjected.

"By the way, Lin, after graduating next year, how about I go to work for you?"

Lin Sen, who was raising his glass to drink water, almost choked when he heard this, he put down the cup, glared at Ariel with a smile on his face, and said, "Give me a part-time job?" Do what? ”

"A counselor, of course." Ariel said of course, "Am I still going to play football?" ”

Psychology...... Consultant?

Lin Sen was stunned, but his heart was suddenly stunned.

Not to mention, many football clubs are really equipped with such a position, but it is a more specific branch: sports psychology counselor.
