Chapter 72: The Express to London
The Hand of God, Worth Millions! 》
Rossi, a popular star in the Championship, not only has outstanding skills at his feet, but has repeatedly led the team through dangerous situations.
Even goalkeeping skills are top-notch and are key to Bournemouth's unbeaten record.
This handball is worth millions!!
Despite all the media hype, Rossi was suspended for one game and missed Saturday's game against Bolton.
After Thursday's in-team practice, Eddie Howe gave him a break.
Rossi was about to go back to his apartment when Yair Lapid showed up at the training base.
"Luo, the performance on the field was fantastic, thanks to you, we can remain unbeaten."
"If it were me, I wouldn't have thought of using my hands for a while, and you reacted too quickly."
Indeed, in today's football rules, handball in the box has always been controversial.
Players will keep their arms close to their bodies during normal defense to avoid being fouled by handball when expanding the defensive area.
So in a split second, the players will subconsciously clear the ball with a header.
Rosie's instantaneous reaction also belonged to the speed of God.
"Manager, why are you here?" Rossi asked, diverting the subject.
Yail smiled, took out an envelope from his briefcase, and said, "Of course, I'm here to deliver you tickets." ”
He said proudly: "Don't worry, it's not a corner position." ”
"Thanks!" Rosie remembers clearly that this ticket is conditional.
The tickets are in hand, and Charlie didn't say how to give them to Pixie.
Telephone number?
Pickxie's number had been locked in a closet by herself, and she hadn't made a single call.
Back at the apartment, Rosie picked up the phone and pressed down on the number.
Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~
"You've finally called me, Rowe."
The sweet voice on the other end of the phone made Rosie slightly stunned.
"How do you know it's me?"
This is a landline, and it's the first time to call, how can you know who the other party is before you open your mouth?
"Of course I know it's you, I know magic."
Rosie was not impressed by this kind of humor, and said, "I have already got the tickets, how to give them to you, Charlie didn't tell me." ”
"You're boring." Pixie was a little upset and said, "Aren't you curious how I know it's you?" ”
Rosie thought for a while and said, "I should be the only one who can know your private number and the landline number that I don't have saved." ”
……
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and said, "Luo, if you have a girlfriend, she will definitely be angry to death." ”
"I'll talk about that later. Should I send you tickets? ”
"I'm going on tour the day after tomorrow and push my new song, have you listened to it?"
"Listen, that's good."
"That's a good thing to say." Picksie paused and said, "If you don't mind, can you come to London tomorrow?" I haven't thanked you in person. ”
London?
Rosie hesitated for a moment, does this get a ticket or give it away?
"Is there a competition?" "I'm going on a tour, I'm going to have to travel a lot, and it's going to be a hassle to mail it in. ”
"And I'll mail it to your place of work?"
"Well, yes, yes. But I'm going to be on a long tour and I can't guarantee that I'll be back in London before the race, so it's not good to miss the game. ”
Rosie was a little stumped.
"Otherwise, if you come to London tomorrow, I will just invite you to dinner, and I will be busy for more than a month."
"You don't have time?"
Rosie hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes and yes ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Pixie interjected, "Then you can come here, the express train is only two hours." ”
Rosie felt a little wrong, and couldn't say it, so she thought about it, she just happened to be on vacation, and it would be good to go to London.
"Okay, I'll go over tomorrow."
"Really?" Pixie smiled, "Then I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow." ”
After hanging up the phone, Rosie simply packed up, and the next day only carried a bag and a hat and went out.
The express trains to London always see off passengers and usher in new life.
The song "Liekkas" was playing in the headphones, and the scenery outside the window was flavouring like a memory.
After getting off the train, a sign with "Luo" written on it was held aloft.
Rossi recognized him as the fan on Pixie's team, who seemed to be Simon.
"Hello, Simon."
Simon, who was still stretching his neck, was suddenly stunned, and after seeing Rossi's face clearly, he said, "I can't even recognize you when you're dressed like this." ”
"It's not that I'm not familiar with London, so you don't need to pick me up."
Simon took his hand and said excitedly: "You are a star now, how can you take a taxi." ”
"Come on, I'll help you with your luggage, it's weird."
Could this be...... Large fans see the idol scene.
After Rosie got into the car, he casually asked, "You're going on tour tomorrow?" ”
Simon nodded and said, "Yes, in order to hit the charts for new songs, you usually have to go through it all over again, increase your exposure, and strive to win the grand prize at the music festival next month." ”
It seems that this star is not easy to be, he has been recording songs for more than a month, and now he has to run for another month in order to hit the charts.
In the car, Simon babbled a lot of questions, and when he got out of the car, he didn't forget to ask for a photo and an autograph.
After Simon checked in to the hotel, he said, "Pixie is still busy, I will invite you to dinner in the evening, and I will pick you up when the time comes." ”
He was about to leave, took a look, and said, "Luo, do you want to change into a formal set of clothes?" ”
Rossi was wearing a tracksuit, a hat and backpack with the club's logo.
"Can't you?"
Isn't it necessary to dress so formally for a meeting with the leaders of the country?
"Not really." Simon didn't say anything either.
The hotel room is a luxury single room, larger than the apartment, this star shot, it is really different.
Dinner was chosen in a very grand Chinese restaurant, and business was booming.
"Cheng's Hotel."
Looking at Rosie's somewhat surprised expression, Simon explained: "This is specially booked by Pixie, this is the hottest Chinese restaurant in London. ”
Rosie said lightly: "It's quite hot." ”
Walking into the hall, it is all Chinese-style furnishings, without too much luxury, but full of ancient charm.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Rossi came to a private room called "Jinse".
Pixie wore a burgundy evening gown, which was very well cut to outline her sexy curves.
No wonder Simon wants to change himself at noon.
Who knew that just to give away a ticket, Pixie would be dressed so grandly.
"Specially arranged for you, how about it, do you like it?" Pixie seemed to mean something else.
Rosie nodded and said, "This restaurant is good, but the environment of the private room is almost meaningless." ”
"It took me a lot of time to book this private room. If you change to someone else, you may only have a place in the hall downstairs. ”
As soon as Rossi took his seat, there was a knock on the door outside the box, and it was the restaurant lobby manager, a polite man, about thirty years old.
"Excuse me, Miss Lot. I don't know if you have a treat today, and you are lazy, so we will change the private room on the third floor for you. ”
Pixie's eyes lit up, and she heard that the private room on the second floor was already very difficult to book, let alone the private room on the third floor.
Under the leadership of the lobby manager, the two came to a private room called "Butterfly Love Flower".
Although it is not large, it is more elegantly decorated, suitable for two people to dine alone.
"Luo, you are more familiar with this Chinese food than me, you can order it." Pixie handed him the menu and said, "I'm having a treat today, so it's hard for you to make a special trip." ”
"Is there a taboo?"
Pixie shook her head.
Rosie didn't look at the menu, and said directly: "First of all, let's have four happy dried fruits, four sweet fruits, and a pot of Xinyang hair." The soup should be Longjing bamboo sun, and the main dish is eight treasure wild duck, colorful beef tenderloin, fish fillet with milk sauce, and lotus tofu. ”
Pixie had never heard of these names, and was surprised: "I thought you wanted kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, roast duck and something like that." ”
Rosie said: "I'm afraid you're not tired of eating these dishes, and you're tired of listening to them." ”
"But it doesn't seem to be on these menus?"
Rossi said: "That's on another menu. ”
After the lobby manager left, Rosie took out the tickets from his bag and said, "This is the ticket for you, the location is the second best." ”
The manager really didn't lie, this is the best position in the world except for the rostrum.
"Thank you!" After Pixie accepted it, she said, "This is just the right time, I will rush to the scene to cheer you on after attending the concert." ”
Pixie talked about the interesting things about work and life during this time, and the time passed quickly, and the dishes were quickly ready.
These dishes, Pixie didn't say she had seen them, she hadn't even heard of them, and after tasting them, the beauty of the taste was many times stronger than the previous Chinese food.
At this time, a middle-aged lady walked in, followed by a waiter.
"Good evening, Miss Lott."
Pixie recognized her as the proprietress of the Chinese restaurant, whom she had met in a hurry when she first came here.
"Good evening, Mrs. Cheng."
Mrs. Cheng glanced at Rosie, then brought a bowl of dessert from the waiter's hand and said, "This is a dessert made by me myself, and I will give it away for free." ”
Pixie heard that the desserts made by the proprietress herself, which ordinary people can't eat, what kind of good luck is today, not only to upgrade the box, but also to dessert.
"Thank you very much, but only one ......"
Cheng Taidao: "This is made for girls, not for men." ”
"That's a shame."
"You guys eat well, I'll get busy first."
Pixie said: "This owner is so kind, and he also makes desserts himself. ”
After a while, a man about 50 years old walked in with something too.
"Mr. Cheng, why are you here?" Pixie recognized him as Cheng Dong, the founder of the restaurant.
It's a busy man, and it's rare.
"I heard that Miss Lott is here to feast on friends, so I have brought some good wine for you to taste."
The waiter brought the porcelain flask and said, "Miss, this is our own fruit wine, although it is not as noble as wine, but the flavor is unique." ”
Pixie clapped her hands and said, "Thank you so much, I liked this wine very much last time I came." However, this wine is more difficult to book than the location. ”
Cheng Dong smiled: "If you like it, you must take care of it next time." Then I won't disturb your meal. ”
After Cheng Dong left, Pixie said a little incredulously: "I'm so lucky today, I'm sending desserts and wine again." Ro, do you want to drink a little? The alcohol content here is very low. ”
Rosie shook his head and said, "This is for you, two small cups a day is good, beauty and beauty." ”
Pixie was in a good mood tonight, chatting late with Rosie before leaving.
"Miss, the bill has been credited to this gentleman." When it came time to check out, the waiter said with a smile.
Rosie:......
Pixie was a little upset and said, "No, I'll have a treat." Luo, you are very ungentlemanly. ”
Without waiting for Rossi to speak, the waiter assisted: "Miss Lott, this is Chinese demeanor." If you think you can, then you can ask this gentleman back next time. ”
"Next time?" Pixie suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, then next time." ”
When he got to the hotel, Rossi got out of the car and said, "Tomorrow you're going on a tour, I'll just go back to Bournemouth by myself." ”
Pixie was a little reluctant and said, "Then the next time we meet, I hope to see you score a few more goals." ”
"Well, thank you, and I hope you win the grand prize."
After spending the night in London, the next day, a luxury car took Rossi to the train station.
"Stinky boy, sneak back on a date, your parents know, I have to break your legs." Cheng Dong scolded solemnly.
"If you don't say it, if I don't say it, they won't know. Besides, I'm here to do something. ”
Cheng Dong's indifferent face, obviously unconvinced, said, "When are you going to kick?" ”
Rossi said: "Kick until you can't kick." ”
"Get out of here!"
"Okay, goodbye."
