Chapter 192 Rong Er and Brother Jing, Transfer Rumors
Seeing Jessica Alba's text message, Li Rui felt relieved for no reason. He had just gone through 90 minutes of intense competition. At this moment, he felt the tight strings relax, and a feeling of fatigue came to his heart. .
Opening the message, Jessica Alba said, "Congratulations, Lee, beautiful goal."
Li Rui was stunned for a moment. He calculated the time difference between Los Angeles and London. At this time, it should be morning in Los Angeles. Could it be that Jessica will watch this game?
Seeing Li Rui laughing at the phone, Alan Lennon came up to make trouble, "Hey hey, look, oh oh oh..."
"I'll do it." Li Rui cursed as he put the phone back in his backpack. He wanted to wait until he got back to the hotel to reply to the message. Now he was going to take a shower. His body was so sticky that it was really uncomfortable.
…………
Jessica Alba and her agent Marco Odeske are sitting in the car, returning to the hotel where they stayed. On the streets of London, there are many cars and horses, and countless cars are dragging red taillights. From a distance, it looks like It seems to be dotted with stars.
On both sides of the road, the most popular place is the bar. After the fierce competition, the bar is undoubtedly the favorite place for the English people. Now, it is the best time for bar business, and almost every bar is full of customers. I just watched it The fans of the game, drinking beer, talking loudly about the game, scolding the referee, "making suggestions" for the future of the team... This time is a festival for fans.
Jessica Alba looked out of the window through the car window, feeling absent-minded for a while.
Due to the traffic jam, the car was crawling like a turtle. Jessica Alba opened the window, and a gust of cool wind came in, making Jessica Alba shiver.
…………
You can see Santa Claus standing at the entrance of a shopping mall with a smile on his face. You can also see that he is busy in the store, hanging up the Christmas tree with colorful lights. Although there is still a week before Christmas, the shopping mall must be early Setting up a festive atmosphere...
The snowflakes on the windows, the Santa hats on the salesmen at the door, and the faint tune of 'MERRY.CHRISMAS' that can be heard in the ears all remind everyone that Christmas is coming.
Jessica Alba didn't know that there is an ancient Chinese poem "Thinking about loved ones every festive season", but, no doubt, Jessica Alba feels this way now, a year has passed so busy, tomorrow She also has to participate in the shooting of a commercial, and then, she is lucky to be able to return to Texas on Christmas Eve. Looking out of the car window, men and women kissing passionately, she felt a little envy for no reason.
…………
Since sending a short message to Li Rui, Jessica Alba has been playing with her small mobile phone. She originally thought that Li Rui would reply soon, but after waiting for a long time, she did not receive a reply. Jessica Alba seemed a little annoyed. In fact, it was also due to the fact that this Hollywood actress was too spoiled. Which one of the short messages sent by Jessica did not reply immediately?
Mr. Agent saw Jessica Alba who was a little absent-minded, "The players should be on their way back to the hotel now, maybe he hasn't seen the message yet." He just saw Jessica Alba sent a message , You don’t need to guess who it was sent to. Although you don’t like the Chinese player very much, Marco Odeske still can’t see Jessica Alba’s loss, so he explained it to Li Rui.
…………
Because the match between Leeds United and Chelsea was played at night, the entire Leeds United team stayed at the hotel in London that night.
After returning to the hotel, Li Rui soaked in the bathtub. He liked the big bathtub in England very much. He soaked in it, closed his eyes, and seemed to be able to float up, feeling the rare tranquility after exhaustion.
About half an hour later, Li Rui came out of the bathtub and put on a bath towel. At this time, I don’t know if it was because after taking a bath, people’s nerves were particularly sensitive. Li Rui felt some tingling in his ankles, and he wrinkled He frowned, and didn't dare to be careless. Now Li Rui remembers the most important sentence, that is, 'the body is the capital of the revolution'. A professional athlete should be especially responsible for his own health, and he is also most responsible for his career.
In the room, Alan Lennon was playing live football with Milner. The two of them were having a great time. Seeing Li Rui going out, he asked casually. Li Rui said he was going to the team doctor for a checkup. A tingling sensation in the ankle.
Both guys suspended the game, and asked about Li Rui's situation. Li Rui could see that Alan Lennon and Milner really cared about themselves, and said with a smile, nothing happened, just a slight sting, go Check with the team doctor, there should be nothing serious.
…………
Hearing that Li Rui's ankle felt tingling, the team doctor of Leeds United did not dare to be careless. You must know that Li Rui is now the team's top scorer. Moreover, after this round of competition, Li Rui surpassed Henry in the scorer list for the first time. One goal, the first time he enjoys the title of top scorer alone... So, Li Rui is now the key protection player of Leeds United.
While the team doctor was examining Li Rui, the head coach of Leeds United, Eddie Gray, who knew the news, also rushed over, "How is it?"
Li Rui knew that the boss was not asking himself, but the team doctor. This is what Li Rui wanted to know. After a careful examination, the team doctor Michael said with relief, "Although there is no suitable equipment here, we can't make a more accurate test. However, initially it seems that it is caused by muscle fatigue, so it is not a big problem.”
Hearing what the team doctor Michael said, Li Rui and the head coach Eddie Gray both heaved a sigh of relief. The Christmas schedule is about to start. At this time, don't get hurt.
…………
After tossing around for a while, Li Rui returned to the room, and when he was about to rest, he remembered to reply to Jessica Alba's message and patted his head. Jessica Alba texted back, just a normal chat, 'Thanks, did you watch the game too? '
After the message was sent, Li Rui waited for a while, but did not see the message back from there. Li Rui didn't know that Jessica Alba was already in London. At this time, it was still daytime in Los Angeles, so Li Rui subconsciously I wondered if Jessica Alba was angry that she didn't reply to the message for a long time. At this moment, the phone lighted up. Li Rui grabbed the phone and saw that it was a message from Xiaohan...
…………
Jessica Alba was really angry. After waiting for several hours, she didn't receive any reply from Li Rui. She returned to the Hilton Hotel in London where she was staying. She was so angry that she didn't have much dinner. At a cocktail party, after an early shower, Jessica Alba lay on the bed and became more and more angry. She simply turned off her mobile phone and turned on the TV to watch TV. This is also a message from Li Rui, Jessica Alba Bara didn't see why.
However, after each round of the league, football programs can be said to dominate the mainstream throughout England. Even if it is not a football game highlight, some entertainment programs are also related to football.
Jessica Alba changed the channel, which happened to be the focus of Sky TV's football program after the weekly league. "Daily Match", Sky TV's commentators Taibi and Lineker are the hosts of this program and guests.
"There is no doubt that I have said that Lee will be a good guy. Now in the scorer list, he has squeezed Henry down, although it is only after one game, but this young boy , the future is bright, and now, the owner of Leeds United, Stubbs, probably wants to find ways to keep the team's top scorer."
"Yes, if I were the head coach, I would also want to have such a shooter. I don't just mean this young man's ability to score goals, but also his fighting spirit on the court. Role model," Lineker said with a laugh.
"Hmph..." Jessica Alba hurriedly changed the channel, "That guy is so popular?"
…………
Changing the channel to another channel, it was full of talk shows and reality shows. Jessica Alba didn't expect to see that guy's shadow on such an entertainment program.
On the TV screen, photos of several football stars appeared, and the host was asking several sexy guests, "Among these young people, which one do you most look forward to sleeping with?"
The question may be straightforward, but English people just like to watch such programs.
Jessica Alba clearly saw that Li Rui's head with a headband was inside... Angrily, she turned off the TV, lying on the bed, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep. Right now, the thing I want to do the most is to punish this hateful guy...
…………
When Li Rui saw Wen Xiaohan's text message, he slapped his head, thinking that he had forgotten such an important thing. This was his new season, when he returned to England from China, Wen Xiaohan knew that he was coming at this time When she went to London to play a game, she specifically asked her to do something, and Xiao Nizi asked Li Rui to help her fulfill a wish.
At this time, Li Rui opened the door and saw the assistant coach Gustavo Poyet making rounds, so he asked him if the team has anything to do tomorrow. If there will be a half-day holiday, he would like to stay in London for half a day. There are some personal matters to attend to.
Gustavo Poyet was stunned for a moment when he heard what Li Rui said. It seemed that Li Rui would rarely leave the team alone due to personal matters. However, after returning to Leeds from London tomorrow morning, the team will be released. It was a half-day vacation, so Gustavo Poyet agreed that Li Rui could return to Leeds after finishing his business in London. Of course, Gustavo Poyet did not forget to tell Li Rui Pay attention to personal safety.
…………
Early the next morning, Li Rui had breakfast at the hotel, and then he went to ask the head coach Eddie Gray for leave. This is where Chinese players know the rules, although Gustavo Poyet agreed with Li Rui If he is on leave, he will also mention it to the head coach Eddie Gray. However, if Li Rui goes to ask for leave in person, it will show respect for the head coach, and the effect will be different.
Sure enough, Eddie Gray was very happy with Li Rui's polite approach, and after telling Li Rui to return to the team on time, he waved his hand and was allowed to leave.
…………
From London, Li Rui took the nationexpress to Cambridge. When he arrived in Cambridge, he took a small boat to visit this famous Ivy League school. It was more like a relaxing and poetic trip. Although it was not Li Rui’s goal to see the colleges in Cambridge, but , for this well-known university, it is not bad to take a look.
Li Rui first took a sightseeing bus and passed the allegedly haunted Jesus College and the site of the Cambridge Examination Board with iron bars. Then, sitting in a small boat, he slowly crossed bridges with different styles and passed Queen's College (Queen's College), King's College College (King's College), Trinity College, St. John College (St. John's College) and other well-known colleges.
Sitting on a small boat, looking at the small bridges, flowing water, green grass and dark brown ancient buildings of this ancient institution, how many people are overwhelmed by it.Li Rui went ashore next to an arch bridge at King's College to pay his respects. After searching for a long time, he finally found Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Cambridge Bridge", which was engraved on a white stone and lay quietly in the grass.Looking into the distance from the arch bridge, you can see the "Mathematics Bridge" of Queen's College in the green grass and shimmering light. From time to time, there will be sightseeing wooden boats passing by on the river.
…………
Far away from the green field, Li Rui seemed to realize that if he hadn't played football, he should be wandering around the campus of BIT now, Yingying Yanyan, let's talk about love, people, once you feel a little sour When the water came out, it seemed that he couldn't hold it back. Li Rui was also feeling sour when he saw the message from Mr. Xu Zhimo.
I don't know what kind of mood Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin were in when they were boating on the Kanghe River. Did they look at each other and smile, or did they have some awkward moments and each thought about their own thoughts?Both of them are extremely smart and sensitive people, and the communication between such people is always hard but enjoyable.
To be honest, Li Rui doesn't like Xu Zhimo. The integrity of this poet is doubtful, but Li Rui is really fascinated by Lin Huiyin's demeanor. He once read a black and white photo of Lin Huiyin in a book when he was in high school , the unrestrained temperament of the Republic of China girl, let this teenage high school student fall in love with her.
…………
On the boat, a handsome guy from Cambridge University was rowing the oars, telling stories about Cambridge. Li Rui learned from the conversation that the boy who punted the boat was from Michigan, USA. His parents went to Cambridge as exchange scholars two years ago. He just graduated from high school and accompanied him. When he came to Cambridge, he got this job by accident. At this time, Li Rui believed in one sentence. The United States is indeed a football desert. This can be seen from the American boy who is punting the boat. On the boat, Li Rui He had already taken off his sunglasses, but he still didn't recognize the American who was punting the boat. The young rookie in front of him was the most popular young player in the Premier League... This made Li Rui's self-esteem slightly frustrated. On the one hand, he had to wear sunglasses, lest the fans recognize him, but, some fans didn't recognize him, and Li Rui felt a little melancholy again...
Sitting on the boat, Li Rui watched the swans and wild ducks in Cambridge foraging leisurely on the river, and guessed that they should be the most knowledgeable and comfortable swans and ducks in the world, because they are influenced by many Cambridge students every day .In such a picturesque scenery, anyone will become poetic.
Therefore, Li Rui was idle and bored, and chatted with the American boy. He should also thank Li Rui for nearly a year in England. His English is already good. He said to the American boy that many Chinese people have a good opinion of Cambridge. Special complex, but this American guy said he had heard of it, but obviously he forgot the name of the famous poet. Perhaps, in his opinion, Mr. Xu Zhimo is not as good as a round-trip boat Let me know... Li Rui also played the piano to Niu, and briefly told him the story of Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin, and read < and <... As for Li Rui's half-baked translation, whether the American ferryman understood it or not I don’t know, but I don’t seem to understand that expression, but when Li Rui paid the boat fare, the American guy’s smile was the most sincere...
*************
After landing, Li Rui checked the time, hurriedly jumped into a Taxi, and asked the driver to drive to Central Cemetery on Newmarket Road, which is the destination of Li Rui's trip...
Central Cemetery, located on Newmarket Road, is a cemetery near Cambridge. Li Rui’s trip is to pay homage to a person he has never met for Wen Xiaohan, and to fulfill the wish of a girl who still dreams of a lovely fairy tale. However, As far as Li Rui himself is concerned, this trip is not exclusive, because when Li Rui was young, the image of that female star was simply the most beautiful woman in Li Rui's eyes...
Her name is...'Rong'er'... At that time, I don't know how many boys aspired to become 'Brother Jing', even though this big brother Guo Jing was really stupid...
Lying quietly in the Central Cemetery of Newmarket Road, this female star is a Hong Kong female star who is most impressive to countless Chinese children in the 80s... Her English name is Barbara Yung, and her Chinese name is——
Weng Meiling.
…………
When getting out of the car, Li Rui remembered one thing. He came empty-handed. Because he was in a hurry, he didn’t have time to buy a bunch of flowers. Originally, according to the domestic inertial thinking, Li Rui thought that there must be a flower shop near the cemetery. However, Fortunately, the 'kind' taxi driver reminded Li Rui that there was no flower shop in the cemetery, so Li Rui had no choice but to continue to get in the car and asked the driver to drive him. After turning east and west, he finally found a small flower shop. When Rui saw the ambiguous eyes of the taxi driver and the flower shop proprietress, how could he not understand that this is probably a relationship shop...
Li Rui picked out a bouquet of white roses, checked how far it was to the cemetery, rejected the taxi driver's offer, and resolutely walked back to the cemetery.
Li Rui walked slowly into the gate of the cemetery. The rows of tombstones in front of him made people dizzy, and felt a trace of quietness and peace from the depths of the soul.
…………
At this time, an old man came up to him and asked politely if Li Rui needed help. Li Rui said in his heart that this was probably the legendary tomb keeper. , Where is Weng Meiling buried forever? The old man glanced at Li Rui. Li Rui can be sure that the old man recognized him. This is not surprising. The old man is probably a fan. However, although he recognized Li Rui, The old man didn't bother Li Rui, but simply said, "Please follow me."
While walking and chatting, the old man told Li Rui that he only started working here at the beginning of this year, and so far many people have come to visit Weng Meiling.He also told Li Rui that there are a total of 2 people buried here, and Weng Meiling should not be alone here.
For some reason, looking at the gravekeeper, Li Rui felt a sense of respect in his heart for no reason.
…………
Turn left along the first cross road after entering the cemetery, until you reach the end, there is a tree with few branches and leaves in winter.
Weng Meiling's heart-shaped white marble tombstone is nearby.
In the center above the tombstone is a black and white photo of Weng Meiling, the dates of birth and death are on the left below, and a small English poem on the right:
"Lonely is the home without you.
Life to us is not the same.
All the world would be like heaven if we could have you back again…”
In front of the tombstone are flowers and toys left by movie fans from all over the world. Some of them can be seen to be old. It seems that Weng Meiling has never been forgotten, never...
…………
Gently placing the flowers in front of the tomb, Li Rui asked the old man for a blank piece of paper and wrote down two sentences, which Wen Xiaohan begged him to write down——
"You are Rong'er forever in our hearts.
May you now find your own happiness!
I found your eternal brother Jing,
We love you forever! "
Wen Xiaohan's name was first written on the signature, Li Rui thought about it, and then added his own name...
Bowing slightly, Li Rui gently wiped the tombstone again, turned around, and left...
At this time, Li Rui suddenly had a feeling that the deceased had already left, the most important thing is to grasp the present...enjoy the present life, fight for one's dream...for the one who loves oneself and the one one loves... ...This young man who is less than 20 years old seems to understand some truths...
…………
On the bus from London back to Leeds, the bus was driving on the highway, Li Rui looked at the scenery outside the window, and he had already come out of the mood of tranquility and deep thought, the highway was also filled with the atmosphere of Christmas, the bus Jingle bells were playing... Even in a passing car, the window opened to reveal the head of a golden retriever, also wearing a Santa Claus hat.
At this time, Li Rui's cell phone rang, and Li Rui saw that it was a message from Jessica Alba.
************
A rare sunny day, although the temperature is a bit low, but, in England, a rare sunny day, what more can you ask for?
Leeds United's training ground was filled with the laughter of the players. It can be seen that the players are in good spirits. To draw against Chelsea in the away game may be an unsatisfactory result for Manchester United, but, For this Leeds United team, it is still something to be happy about. What is important is not the point brought by the draw, but the kind of never giving up until the last moment, and, at the last moment, scoring goals. experience.
This has caused some subtle changes in the mentality of the players of Leeds United without knowing it. This change is subtle, and the players may not be aware of it, but it does affect the mentality of the players. This is a more confident mentality, and the players' sense of identity with the team and the cohesion of the team have also increased.
Of course, there is another reason why the fans are so relaxed, and that is that Christmas is coming. Although the league will continue, no matter what, Christmas is a festival to be happy about.
…………
However, the players of Leeds United saw that Li Rui seemed to be the happiest one today, and his condition was surprisingly good. In the group match, he scored 7 goals with 6 shots, and his hit rate was as high as 80%. Over [-], the Leeds United coach Eddie Gray was also smiling. He was worried about Li Rui's ankle. Now it seems that this Chinese kid is as strong as a calf.
Li Rui never thought that Jessica Alba would be in London. Although London is more than an hour's drive away from Leeds, what is this distance now?
Thinking of meeting Jessica Alba in a while, Li Rui is so excited, he is so excited, fighting in groups, the substitute goalkeeper Ailavi will be unlucky, poor Ailavi repeated over and over again Retrieving the ball from the net, not forgetting to complain, of course, "Hell, Lee, you made me fall from Christmas joy into the Antarctic ice cave..."
Li Rui also laughed and scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't want to do this either, but this state came, and he couldn't stop it...
"Well, there must be something wrong!" Alan Lennon stroked his chin and looked at Li Rui who was in good condition.
"Allen." Eddie Gray's roar sounded, "Do you want to practice more?" One sentence scared Alan Lennon, who was distracted like a frightened rabbit, and quickly concentrated on training up.
…………
On the second day after the match against Chelsea, Li Rui's agent Rodriguez received a phone call from Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon himself.
Rodriguez was not surprised at all when he received this call. What was strange to him was that Peter Kenyon called in person. The game between Chelsea and Leeds United was the last league game in continental Europe this weekend. , after this game, except for the Premier League, almost all leagues in European countries have entered the winter break... Players in Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga... have started to enjoy the Christmas holiday, and only the Premier League players will start to welcome Christmas During the festival, the devil's schedule of double matches a week.
At this time, the league was suspended, and it was the coaches and managers of each team who really started to get busy. After halfway through the league, the standings of each league have become clear. After the start of the winter break, the relegated teams If you want to stay in relegation desperately, you can hope to go to Europe for a while, and of course you will not give up the opportunity to go to Europe to seek gold. As for the championship team, they will naturally make good use of this Christmas holiday to make up for the gap and prepare for the second half of the season. Sprint for final preparations.
In a word, although the winter transfer window will not restart until 12 days later, the real heavyweight transfers often start to brew from this time. The entire football world, including the Premier League, which is still in full swing , started to get busy.
…………
Before Rodriguez, he also received five or six tentative inquiries about the possibility of Li Rui's transfer. However, it was the first company like Chelsea to clearly mention salary and offer.
Peter Kenyon proposed a very tempting plan to Rodriguez... There is only one core, that is, to bring Li Rui to Stamford Bridge, and revealed on the phone that whether it is the rich Russian of the Chelsea club or the owner Coach Mourinho admires Leeds United's No. 11 player.
…………
At this time, it is the time when Chelsea needs the championship most, and it is also the time when Abramovich's team's investment enthusiasm is the highest. The price of any player who is favored by Chelsea is definitely not a problem. For this, Rodriguez also has From what I have heard, he is still very interested in the call from Chelsea, because his income is directly linked to Li Rui. If Li Rui can join a wealthy team, both his salary and his reputation will increase. Less, then, correspondingly, Rodriguez can also earn more.
Now, after half a season, Chelsea is slowly changing people's labels on this team's nouveau riche. Although the process is slow, there are still many people with a keen sense of smell who realize that, maybe, A wealthy upstart is about to be born, and Rodriguez is one of those people with a keen sense of smell. He clearly foresees how much profit Li Rui can bring to him and Li Rui himself if he joins Chelsea. In addition to the high transfer fee and signing fee, what is more important is that to have the opportunity to win the championship trophy and participate in the Champions Cup, what a vast stage this means for a player...
Although Rodriguez did not immediately agree to Peter Kenyon, his attitude was quite positive. Of course, the reason why he did not agree directly was because he had not communicated with Li Rui. However, in Rodriguez's view, Li Rui From any point of view, it seems that there is no reason to refuse the invitation from Chelsea. You know, how many players now want to climb this super tanker of the Russian rich.

"I'll do it." Li Rui cursed as he put the phone back in his backpack. He wanted to wait until he got back to the hotel to reply to the message. Now he was going to take a shower. His body was so sticky that it was really uncomfortable.

The question may be straightforward, but English people just like to watch such programs.
Jessica Alba clearly saw that Li Rui's head with a headband was inside... Angrily, she turned off the TV, lying on the bed, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep. Right now, the thing I want to do the most is to punish this hateful guy...
…………
When Li Rui saw Wen Xiaohan's text message, he slapped his head, thinking that he had forgotten such an important thing. This was his new season, when he returned to England from China, Wen Xiaohan knew that he was coming at this time When she went to London to play a game, she specifically asked her to do something, and Xiao Nizi asked Li Rui to help her fulfill a wish.
At this time, Li Rui opened the door and saw the assistant coach Gustavo Poyet making rounds, so he asked him if the team has anything to do tomorrow. If there will be a half-day holiday, he would like to stay in London for half a day. There are some personal matters to attend to.
Gustavo Poyet was stunned for a moment when he heard what Li Rui said. It seemed that Li Rui would rarely leave the team alone due to personal matters. However, after returning to Leeds from London tomorrow morning, the team will be released. It was a half-day vacation, so Gustavo Poyet agreed that Li Rui could return to Leeds after finishing his business in London. Of course, Gustavo Poyet did not forget to tell Li Rui Pay attention to personal safety.
…………
Early the next morning, Li Rui had breakfast at the hotel, and then he went to ask the head coach Eddie Gray for leave. This is where Chinese players know the rules, although Gustavo Poyet agreed with Li Rui If he is on leave, he will also mention it to the head coach Eddie Gray. However, if Li Rui goes to ask for leave in person, it will show respect for the head coach, and the effect will be different.
Sure enough, Eddie Gray was very happy with Li Rui's polite approach, and after telling Li Rui to return to the team on time, he waved his hand and was allowed to leave.
…………
From London, Li Rui took the nationexpress to Cambridge. When he arrived in Cambridge, he took a small boat to visit this famous Ivy League school. It was more like a relaxing and poetic trip. Although it was not Li Rui’s goal to see the colleges in Cambridge, but , for this well-known university, it is not bad to take a look.
Li Rui first took a sightseeing bus and passed the allegedly haunted Jesus College and the site of the Cambridge Examination Board with iron bars. Then, sitting in a small boat, he slowly crossed bridges with different styles and passed Queen's College (Queen's College), King's College College (King's College), Trinity College, St. John College (St. John's College) and other well-known colleges.
Sitting on a small boat, looking at the small bridges, flowing water, green grass and dark brown ancient buildings of this ancient institution, how many people are overwhelmed by it.Li Rui went ashore next to an arch bridge at King's College to pay his respects. After searching for a long time, he finally found Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Cambridge Bridge", which was engraved on a white stone and lay quietly in the grass.Looking into the distance from the arch bridge, you can see the "Mathematics Bridge" of Queen's College in the green grass and shimmering light. From time to time, there will be sightseeing wooden boats passing by on the river.
…………
Far away from the green field, Li Rui seemed to realize that if he hadn't played football, he should be wandering around the campus of BIT now, Yingying Yanyan, let's talk about love, people, once you feel a little sour When the water came out, it seemed that he couldn't hold it back. Li Rui was also feeling sour when he saw the message from Mr. Xu Zhimo.
I don't know what kind of mood Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin were in when they were boating on the Kanghe River. Did they look at each other and smile, or did they have some awkward moments and each thought about their own thoughts?Both of them are extremely smart and sensitive people, and the communication between such people is always hard but enjoyable.
To be honest, Li Rui doesn't like Xu Zhimo. The integrity of this poet is doubtful, but Li Rui is really fascinated by Lin Huiyin's demeanor. He once read a black and white photo of Lin Huiyin in a book when he was in high school , the unrestrained temperament of the Republic of China girl, let this teenage high school student fall in love with her.
…………
On the boat, a handsome guy from Cambridge University was rowing the oars, telling stories about Cambridge. Li Rui learned from the conversation that the boy who punted the boat was from Michigan, USA. His parents went to Cambridge as exchange scholars two years ago. He just graduated from high school and accompanied him. When he came to Cambridge, he got this job by accident. At this time, Li Rui believed in one sentence. The United States is indeed a football desert. This can be seen from the American boy who is punting the boat. On the boat, Li Rui He had already taken off his sunglasses, but he still didn't recognize the American who was punting the boat. The young rookie in front of him was the most popular young player in the Premier League... This made Li Rui's self-esteem slightly frustrated. On the one hand, he had to wear sunglasses, lest the fans recognize him, but, some fans didn't recognize him, and Li Rui felt a little melancholy again...
Sitting on the boat, Li Rui watched the swans and wild ducks in Cambridge foraging leisurely on the river, and guessed that they should be the most knowledgeable and comfortable swans and ducks in the world, because they are influenced by many Cambridge students every day .In such a picturesque scenery, anyone will become poetic.
Therefore, Li Rui was idle and bored, and chatted with the American boy. He should also thank Li Rui for nearly a year in England. His English is already good. He said to the American boy that many Chinese people have a good opinion of Cambridge. Special complex, but this American guy said he had heard of it, but obviously he forgot the name of the famous poet. Perhaps, in his opinion, Mr. Xu Zhimo is not as good as a round-trip boat Let me know... Li Rui also played the piano to Niu, and briefly told him the story of Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin, and read < and <... As for Li Rui's half-baked translation, whether the American ferryman understood it or not I don’t know, but I don’t seem to understand that expression, but when Li Rui paid the boat fare, the American guy’s smile was the most sincere...
*************
After landing, Li Rui checked the time, hurriedly jumped into a Taxi, and asked the driver to drive to Central Cemetery on Newmarket Road, which is the destination of Li Rui's trip...
Central Cemetery, located on Newmarket Road, is a cemetery near Cambridge. Li Rui’s trip is to pay homage to a person he has never met for Wen Xiaohan, and to fulfill the wish of a girl who still dreams of a lovely fairy tale. However, As far as Li Rui himself is concerned, this trip is not exclusive, because when Li Rui was young, the image of that female star was simply the most beautiful woman in Li Rui's eyes...
Her name is...'Rong'er'... At that time, I don't know how many boys aspired to become 'Brother Jing', even though this big brother Guo Jing was really stupid...
Lying quietly in the Central Cemetery of Newmarket Road, this female star is a Hong Kong female star who is most impressive to countless Chinese children in the 80s... Her English name is Barbara Yung, and her Chinese name is——
Weng Meiling.
…………
When getting out of the car, Li Rui remembered one thing. He came empty-handed. Because he was in a hurry, he didn’t have time to buy a bunch of flowers. Originally, according to the domestic inertial thinking, Li Rui thought that there must be a flower shop near the cemetery. However, Fortunately, the 'kind' taxi driver reminded Li Rui that there was no flower shop in the cemetery, so Li Rui had no choice but to continue to get in the car and asked the driver to drive him. After turning east and west, he finally found a small flower shop. When Rui saw the ambiguous eyes of the taxi driver and the flower shop proprietress, how could he not understand that this is probably a relationship shop...
Li Rui picked out a bouquet of white roses, checked how far it was to the cemetery, rejected the taxi driver's offer, and resolutely walked back to the cemetery.
Li Rui walked slowly into the gate of the cemetery. The rows of tombstones in front of him made people dizzy, and felt a trace of quietness and peace from the depths of the soul.
…………
At this time, an old man came up to him and asked politely if Li Rui needed help. Li Rui said in his heart that this was probably the legendary tomb keeper. , Where is Weng Meiling buried forever? The old man glanced at Li Rui. Li Rui can be sure that the old man recognized him. This is not surprising. The old man is probably a fan. However, although he recognized Li Rui, The old man didn't bother Li Rui, but simply said, "Please follow me."
While walking and chatting, the old man told Li Rui that he only started working here at the beginning of this year, and so far many people have come to visit Weng Meiling.He also told Li Rui that there are a total of 2 people buried here, and Weng Meiling should not be alone here.
For some reason, looking at the gravekeeper, Li Rui felt a sense of respect in his heart for no reason.
…………
Turn left along the first cross road after entering the cemetery, until you reach the end, there is a tree with few branches and leaves in winter.
Weng Meiling's heart-shaped white marble tombstone is nearby.
In the center above the tombstone is a black and white photo of Weng Meiling, the dates of birth and death are on the left below, and a small English poem on the right:
"Lonely is the home without you.
Life to us is not the same.
All the world would be like heaven if we could have you back again…”
In front of the tombstone are flowers and toys left by movie fans from all over the world. Some of them can be seen to be old. It seems that Weng Meiling has never been forgotten, never...
…………
Gently placing the flowers in front of the tomb, Li Rui asked the old man for a blank piece of paper and wrote down two sentences, which Wen Xiaohan begged him to write down——
"You are Rong'er forever in our hearts.
May you now find your own happiness!
I found your eternal brother Jing,
We love you forever! "
Wen Xiaohan's name was first written on the signature, Li Rui thought about it, and then added his own name...
Bowing slightly, Li Rui gently wiped the tombstone again, turned around, and left...
At this time, Li Rui suddenly had a feeling that the deceased had already left, the most important thing is to grasp the present...enjoy the present life, fight for one's dream...for the one who loves oneself and the one one loves... ...This young man who is less than 20 years old seems to understand some truths...
…………
On the bus from London back to Leeds, the bus was driving on the highway, Li Rui looked at the scenery outside the window, and he had already come out of the mood of tranquility and deep thought, the highway was also filled with the atmosphere of Christmas, the bus Jingle bells were playing... Even in a passing car, the window opened to reveal the head of a golden retriever, also wearing a Santa Claus hat.
At this time, Li Rui's cell phone rang, and Li Rui saw that it was a message from Jessica Alba.
************
A rare sunny day, although the temperature is a bit low, but, in England, a rare sunny day, what more can you ask for?
Leeds United's training ground was filled with the laughter of the players. It can be seen that the players are in good spirits. To draw against Chelsea in the away game may be an unsatisfactory result for Manchester United, but, For this Leeds United team, it is still something to be happy about. What is important is not the point brought by the draw, but the kind of never giving up until the last moment, and, at the last moment, scoring goals. experience.
This has caused some subtle changes in the mentality of the players of Leeds United without knowing it. This change is subtle, and the players may not be aware of it, but it does affect the mentality of the players. This is a more confident mentality, and the players' sense of identity with the team and the cohesion of the team have also increased.
Of course, there is another reason why the fans are so relaxed, and that is that Christmas is coming. Although the league will continue, no matter what, Christmas is a festival to be happy about.
…………
However, the players of Leeds United saw that Li Rui seemed to be the happiest one today, and his condition was surprisingly good. In the group match, he scored 7 goals with 6 shots, and his hit rate was as high as 80%. Over [-], the Leeds United coach Eddie Gray was also smiling. He was worried about Li Rui's ankle. Now it seems that this Chinese kid is as strong as a calf.
Li Rui never thought that Jessica Alba would be in London. Although London is more than an hour's drive away from Leeds, what is this distance now?
Thinking of meeting Jessica Alba in a while, Li Rui is so excited, he is so excited, fighting in groups, the substitute goalkeeper Ailavi will be unlucky, poor Ailavi repeated over and over again Retrieving the ball from the net, not forgetting to complain, of course, "Hell, Lee, you made me fall from Christmas joy into the Antarctic ice cave..."
Li Rui also laughed and scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't want to do this either, but this state came, and he couldn't stop it...
"Well, there must be something wrong!" Alan Lennon stroked his chin and looked at Li Rui who was in good condition.
"Allen." Eddie Gray's roar sounded, "Do you want to practice more?" One sentence scared Alan Lennon, who was distracted like a frightened rabbit, and quickly concentrated on training up.
…………
On the second day after the match against Chelsea, Li Rui's agent Rodriguez received a phone call from Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon himself.
Rodriguez was not surprised at all when he received this call. What was strange to him was that Peter Kenyon called in person. The game between Chelsea and Leeds United was the last league game in continental Europe this weekend. , after this game, except for the Premier League, almost all leagues in European countries have entered the winter break... Players in Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga... have started to enjoy the Christmas holiday, and only the Premier League players will start to welcome Christmas During the festival, the devil's schedule of double matches a week.
At this time, the league was suspended, and it was the coaches and managers of each team who really started to get busy. After halfway through the league, the standings of each league have become clear. After the start of the winter break, the relegated teams If you want to stay in relegation desperately, you can hope to go to Europe for a while, and of course you will not give up the opportunity to go to Europe to seek gold. As for the championship team, they will naturally make good use of this Christmas holiday to make up for the gap and prepare for the second half of the season. Sprint for final preparations.
In a word, although the winter transfer window will not restart until 12 days later, the real heavyweight transfers often start to brew from this time. The entire football world, including the Premier League, which is still in full swing , started to get busy.
…………
Before Rodriguez, he also received five or six tentative inquiries about the possibility of Li Rui's transfer. However, it was the first company like Chelsea to clearly mention salary and offer.
Peter Kenyon proposed a very tempting plan to Rodriguez... There is only one core, that is, to bring Li Rui to Stamford Bridge, and revealed on the phone that whether it is the rich Russian of the Chelsea club or the owner Coach Mourinho admires Leeds United's No. 11 player.
…………
At this time, it is the time when Chelsea needs the championship most, and it is also the time when Abramovich's team's investment enthusiasm is the highest. The price of any player who is favored by Chelsea is definitely not a problem. For this, Rodriguez also has From what I have heard, he is still very interested in the call from Chelsea, because his income is directly linked to Li Rui. If Li Rui can join a wealthy team, both his salary and his reputation will increase. Less, then, correspondingly, Rodriguez can also earn more.
Now, after half a season, Chelsea is slowly changing people's labels on this team's nouveau riche. Although the process is slow, there are still many people with a keen sense of smell who realize that, maybe, A wealthy upstart is about to be born, and Rodriguez is one of those people with a keen sense of smell. He clearly foresees how much profit Li Rui can bring to him and Li Rui himself if he joins Chelsea. In addition to the high transfer fee and signing fee, what is more important is that to have the opportunity to win the championship trophy and participate in the Champions Cup, what a vast stage this means for a player...
Although Rodriguez did not immediately agree to Peter Kenyon, his attitude was quite positive. Of course, the reason why he did not agree directly was because he had not communicated with Li Rui. However, in Rodriguez's view, Li Rui From any point of view, it seems that there is no reason to refuse the invitation from Chelsea. You know, how many players now want to climb this super tanker of the Russian rich.
