Chapter 72 The Express Train to London

"Hand of God, Worth Millions!" "

Rossi, a popular star in the British Championship, not only has outstanding skills at his feet, he has repeatedly led the team to pass through dangers.

Even the goalkeeping skills are top-notch, which is the key to Bournemouth's unbeaten record.

This handball is worth millions! !

Despite the media hype, Rossi was suspended for one game and missed Saturday's game against Bolton.

Eddie Howe gave him a little time off after practice on Thursday.

Rossi was heading back to the apartment when Yair Lapid showed up at the training facility.

"Luo, the performance on the field was great, thanks to you, we can remain unbeaten."

"If it were me, I wouldn't think of using my hands for a while, and your reaction is too fast."

Indeed, in today's football rules, handball in the penalty area has always been controversial.

During normal defense, players will keep their arms close to their bodies, so as not to expand the defensive area and be called a handball foul.

So in an instant, players will subconsciously use headers to clear the siege.

Rossi reacted instantly, which was also considered divine speed.

"Manager, why are you here?" Rossi asked, changing the subject.

Yair smiled, took out an envelope from his briefcase, and said, "Of course I'm here to give you tickets."

He said proudly: "Don't worry, it's not a corner position."

"Thank you!" Rossi remembered clearly that the ticket was conditional.

The tickets are in hand, and Charlie didn't say how to give them to Pixie.

phone number?

The number Pixie left before was locked in the cabinet by himself, and he hasn't called once.

Back at the apartment, Rosie picked up the phone and pressed the number.

beep~ beep~ beep~
"You finally called me, Rob."

Rossi was slightly taken aback by the sweet voice on the phone.

"How do you know it was me?"

This is a landline, and it's the first time to make a call. How could you know who the other party is before you speak?

"Of course I know it's you, I know magic."

Rossi didn't like this kind of humor, and said, "I've already got the tickets. Charlie didn't tell me how to give them to you."

"You are so boring." Pixie was a little unhappy, and said, "Don't you wonder how I knew it was you?"

Rossi thought for a while, and said, "I should be the only one who knows your private number and doesn't have a saved landline number."

……

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and said, "Luo, if you have a girlfriend, she will definitely be pissed off."

"That will wait until we have it. Shall I send you the tickets?"

"I'm going on tour the day after tomorrow to promote my new song, have you listened to it?"

"Listen, it's very good."

"That's really good if you say that." Pixie paused and said, "If you don't mind, can you come to London tomorrow? I haven't thanked you in person yet."

London?

Rossi hesitated for a moment, so I have to give away the tickets?
"Is there a competition?" Pixie said, "I want to tour and travel to many places, and it will be troublesome to send it by mail."

"Then I mail it to your work place?"

"Well, yes, yes. But I will be on tour for a long time, and I can't guarantee to return to London before the game. It would be bad to miss the game."

Rossi was a little troubled.

"Why don't you come to London tomorrow, and I will treat you to dinner, and I will be busy for the next month or so."

"You don't have time?"

Rossi hesitated and said, "Yes, yes..."

Before finishing speaking, Pixie interjected, "Then you come here, the express train only takes two hours."

Rossi felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words. After thinking about it, she happened to be on vacation, so it would be nice to go to London.

"Okay, I'll be there tomorrow."

"Really?" Pixie smiled and said, "Then I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Rossi simply cleaned up. The next day, he only carried a bag and a hat and went out.

A series of express trains bound for London will always see off passengers and usher in new students.

The song "Liekkas" was playing in the earphones, and the scenery outside the window flashed like a memory.

After getting off the train, a sign with "luo" was held up high.

Rossi recognized him as the fan from Pixie's team, who seemed to be called Simon.

"Hello, Simon."

Simon, who was still stretching his neck, was taken aback suddenly. After seeing Rossi's face clearly, he said, "I can't even recognize you with your clothes."

"It's not that I'm unfamiliar with London, so there's no need to pick me up."

Simon took his hand and said excitedly: "You are a star now, how can I let you take a taxi."

"Come on, I'll help you carry your luggage, blame Shen."

Could this be... a scene where big fans meet their idols.

After getting into the car, Rossi asked casually, "Are you going on tour tomorrow?"

Simon nodded and said, "Yes, in order to hit the charts for new songs, we usually have to go through it all to increase exposure and strive to win the grand prize at next month's music festival."

It seems that this star is not easy to be. It took more than a month to record the song, and now it has to run for another month in order to hit the charts.

In the car, Simon asked a lot of questions, and he didn't forget to ask for photos and autographs when he got out of the car.

After Simon checked into the hotel, he said, "Pixie is still busy, and I will treat you to dinner tonight, and I will pick you up then."

Just as he was about to leave, he took a look and said, "Luo, do you want to change into more formal clothes?"

Rossi was wearing tracksuit, hat and backpack with the club logo.

"Can't you?"

Is it necessary to dress so formally if you are not meeting a national leader?
"Not really." Simon didn't say anything.

The hotel room is a luxurious single room, bigger than an apartment, this star made a move, it really is different.

We chose a very grand Chinese restaurant for dinner, and the business is booming.

"Cheng's Hotel."

Seeing Rossi's somewhat surprised expression, Simon explained: "This is specially reserved by Pixie. This is the most popular Chinese restaurant in London."

Rossi said lightly: "It's quite hot."

Walking into the hall, it is all decorated in Chinese style, without too much luxury, but full of ancient charm.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Rossi came to a private room named "Jinse".

Pixie wore a burgundy evening gown, which was cut very well and outlined her sexy curves.

No wonder Simon asked himself to change at noon.

Who knew that Pixie was dressed so grandly just to give away a ticket.

"It's specially arranged for you, how is it, do you like it?" Pixie seemed to mean something else.

Rossi nodded, and said: "This restaurant is good, but the environment of the private room is almost interesting."

"It took me a lot of trouble to book this private room. If it's someone else, it might be in the lobby downstairs."

Just as Rossi was seated, there was a knock on the door outside the box. The lobby manager of the restaurant came in, a well-mannered man in his thirties.

"Excuse me, Miss Lotter. I don't know if it's your treat today, but I'm neglecting you. We'll change you to a private room on the third floor."

Pixie's eyes lit up. He heard that the private room on the second floor is very difficult to book, let alone the private room on the third floor.

Under the leadership of the lobby manager, the two came to the private room named "Die Lian Hua".

Although the inside is not big, the decoration is more elegant, suitable for two people to dine alone.

"Luo, you are more familiar with this Chinese food than I am, so you can order." Pixie handed him the menu, and said, "Today I am treating guests, thank you for making a special trip."

"Is there any taboo?"

Pixie shook her head.

Rossi didn't look at the menu, and said directly: "First, here are Sixi dried fruits, four sweet preserves, and a pot of Xinyang Maojian. The soup is Longjing bamboo fungus, and the main course is eight-treasure wild duck, colorful beef tenderloin, milky fish fillet, and lotus pod tofu. "

Pixie had never heard of these names before, and said in surprise, "I thought you wanted Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, and Roast Duck."

Rossi said: "I'm afraid you are not tired of eating these dishes, but you are also 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, Rossi took out the ticket from the bag and said, "This is the ticket for you, the seat is the second best."

The manager really wasn't lying, this was the best place in the world apart from the rostrum.

"Thank you!" Pixie said after accepting it, "This time is just right, I will rush to the scene to cheer for you after I have attended the concert."

Pixie chatted about the interesting things about work and life during this time, the time passed quickly, and the dishes were ready soon.

Pixie didn't say that she had seen these dishes before, but she had never even heard of them. After careful tasting, the taste was much better than the previous Chinese food.

At this time, a middle-aged lady came in, followed by a waiter.

"Good evening, Miss Lotter."

Pixie recognized her as the proprietress of this Chinese restaurant, and she met her in a hurry when she came here for the first time.

"Good evening, Mrs. Cheng."

Mrs. Cheng glanced at Rossi, then brought a bowl of dessert from the waiter, and said, "This is a dessert I made myself, and it's a free gift."

Pixie heard that the dessert made by the proprietress herself is something ordinary people can't eat. What kind of luck is it today, not only the box is upgraded, but also the dessert.

"Thank you very much, but only one..."

Cheng Taidao: "This is specially made for girls, not for men."

"That's too bad."

"You are delicious, I will go to work first."

Pixie said: "The owner of this restaurant is so kind, he even makes desserts by himself."

After a while, a man about 50 years old also came in with something.

"Mr. Cheng, why are you here?" Pixie recognized him as Cheng Dong, the founder of this restaurant.

This is a busy man, rarely seen.

"I heard that Miss Lotter is entertaining friends here, so I specially brought some good wine for you to taste."

The waiter brought over the jug made of ceramics, and said, "Miss, this is our own fruit wine. Although it is not as noble as wine, it has a unique flavor."

Pixie clapped her hands and said, "Thank you very much, I liked this wine very much last time I came here. But this wine is more difficult to reserve than the location."

Cheng Dong smiled and said: "If you like it, I will definitely take care of it next time. Then I won't disturb your meal."

After Cheng Dong left, Pixie said in disbelief: "I'm so lucky today, and I'm giving away desserts and wine. Luo, do you want a drink? The alcohol content here is very low."

Rossi shook her head and said, "This is for you, two small cups a day is enough for beauty."

Pixie was in a good mood tonight, chatted with Rossi very late, and then left with more than enough to say.

"Miss, the bill has been credited to this gentleman's name." When the bill was settled, the waiter said with a smile.

Rossi: ...

Pixie was a little upset, and said, "No, let me treat you. Luo, you are not a gentleman like this."

Before Rossi could speak, the waiter assisted and said, "Miss Lotter, this is a Chinese demeanor. If you think it's okay, then you can just invite this gentleman back next time."

"Next time?" Pixie suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, then next time."

After arriving at the hotel, Rossi got out of the car and said, "You guys are going on tour tomorrow, and I'll just go back to Bournemouth by myself."

Pixie felt a little bit reluctant, and said, "Then next time we meet, I hope to see you score a few more goals."

"Well, thank you, I hope you win the prize too."

After spending the night in London, the next day, a luxury car took Rossi to the train station.

"Brat, come back for a date secretly. Your parents know and will break your legs." Cheng Dong sternly reprimanded.

"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, they won't know. Besides, I'm here to handle business."

With an indifferent face, Cheng Dong obviously didn't believe it, and said, "How long do you plan to play?"

Rossi said, "Kick until you can't move."

"Get out of here immediately!"

"Okay, goodbye."
