The Christmas holiday at Wimbledon Art School started from the Christmas week, and lasted until the second week after Christmas, which was a total of three weeks. The first semester ended. Many of his classmates chose to go out for a trip, and even Emily went to the United States with her mother, but he couldn't go anywhere, could not go home, and could not travel with Philip and Kenny to Newcastle, let alone accompany Yang Yang to Paris. The romantic capital was as far away as he had from Earth to Mars... He continued to stay in the Duns Bar, and was preparing for the 28th league.

Although he is not a professional player, he has already experienced the busyness of professional players. Fortunately, he has not felt that there are too many games every year like some professional players and needs rest. Now he wishes to have at least two games a week. He doesn't know what fatigue is. He just wants to play football to the fullest and enjoy the fun of playing football.

But not everyone knows what he is thinking.

"Actually you should feel grateful. If it is the Premier League, during this Christmas period, you will have to play double games for at least three consecutive weeks, ha!" Old Bente said to him. Chu Zhongtian did not doubt the words of Old Bente, because he knew how dense the Premier League schedule was... The leagues in other countries basically had winter breaks, and only the Premier League did not have winter breaks in several major European leagues. In addition, there were two domestic cups - the FA Cup and the League Cup. Premier League players have to play as many as 70 games in a year. This is really a paradise for iron men and Russell's hell... On the 28th, the team ushered in the first league after Christmas, and they defeated Chipstie 3:2 away.

The team's conceding two goals does not mean that Chu Zhongtian's ability is not good, but it is closely related to the team's tactics. Although Eames is a head coach from the back, he emphasizes offense. A team of Wimbledon's level has had the ambition to return to the top league since its founding. Naturally, they are unwilling to rely on defense to live in such a top league. Upgrading as soon as possible is their goal. Then offense is a natural tactic.

Wimbledon played offensive football, encouraging two full-backs to assist. They invested too much force in the offense, so they naturally had to face the situation of being in the defense with few rivals. No matter how powerful Chu Zhongtian was, he could not turn into countless people and took care of all his work. He always had places and times that he could not take care of. Although his teammates had already worked very hard, conceding goals was inevitable.

Although he was happy to win the ball, he still made Chu Zhongtian feel depressed for a while after losing the ball. Xilin once asked him strangely, and his answer made Xilin speechless. He didn't know what to say, so in the end he could only let him die... He replied at the time: "I hope I will never lose a goal in the game I participated in."

※※After the New Year, on January 4, Wimbledon welcomed Sausal at home. This was the first time Chu Zhongtian met this opponent. In the last two games between Wimbledon and Sausal, Chu Zhongtian could not participate because he had to attend classes. The first time Wimbledon shook hands with his opponent 0:0 at the opponent's home court, and the second time he lost 1:5 at his home court.

The second game was the most painful defeat since Wimbledon started the team.

With the two previous games as the prelude, in this third game, Wimbledon's players were ready to beat Sausal and avenge the two games they lost before.

But the result was 2:2 after ninety minutes... They could have won the game, if Chu Zhongtian was not sent off with a red card in the 57th minute.

This was his first red card in the English League and his first time was sent off. It was a very memorable game... At that time, the opponent fought back quickly, and there were not many people in Wimbledon's backcourt. Chu Zhongtian predicted the opponent's breakthrough direction, but did not judge the acceleration against that person. With just one interleaving, he was thrown away by the opponent. In desperation, Chu Zhongtian could only pull the opponent down from behind.

Sausal's counterattack did not start, but he received his first red card since the competition.

Eames had no choice but to do anything off the court. If Chu Zhongtian didn't foul this ball, the opponent would have a single shot. If it were a foul, he would definitely have a red card. If it were him, he would have fouled... Anyway, Wimbledon is leading two goals, and winning this game may not be a big problem, even if there is one person missing... Eames thinks so, Chu Zhongtian actually thinks so. It only took him a second to make the decision to foul, and he did not regret it. So he did not plead for him to plead for him, stood up and walked straight off the field. Behind him was the referee's hand holding the red card high.

But when the game ended, he changed his mind.

"I don't think I should have committed a foul..." He said to Old Bente, who came to drink at the Duns Bar.

"You have said it many times, Chu. But the situation at that time was unstoppable. Your choice was correct. I think even if you encounter such a situation again, you will make the same choice. I am an old fan. I have seen more balls than you have ever played. Believe me, you are correct." Old Bente comforted Chu Zhongtian.

"But I still hope there is a way to stop the other party without fouling..."

"Stop dreaming, Chu. You play football on Earth, not football on Mars. There is no such thing on Earth... Unless you bribe the referee in advance, haha!" Old Bente was amused by his humor. After laughing, he continued: "Actually, this is one of the joys of football. You always have to face various choices. You may choose the right one or the wrong ones. Even if you make the right choice, the final result may not be good, and it may just lead to a worse 'correct choice'. But this uncertainty is the charm of football, just like we often say 'no victory or defeat is not decided until the last second'' 'football is round'..." He spread his hands and looked at Chu Zhongtian.

"Thank you, Mr. Bente." Although Chu Zhongtian was still a little resentful, he was no longer as depressed as when the game just ended. He handed Bente a glass of wine: "I'll treat you."

"Ha! You are such a good boy!" Old Bente took the cup happily. "You can definitely become a big star! Believe me, I have seen more balls than you have ever played..."

Chu Zhongtian just thought this was a nonsense that was excited by an old drunkard, or a trick to please him to ask him for another drink. In short, he didn't take it to heart.

※※After the match with Sausal, the league finally ushered in a short quit. The next game will not start again on the 18th day after fourteen days.

However, Chu Zhongtian did not get a rest because the school was also open.

"Hi, Chu!" Philip and Kenny greeted Chu Zhongtian very enthusiastically after seeing him again in the classroom.

"Hi, two. How are your holidays in Newcastle?"

"Nothing else is good except football." Philip was a little depressed.

"We watched two Newcastle games, and the atmosphere in the Premier League was great!" Kenny seemed very excited. "When will our team be able to play in that atmosphere..."

"If we can upgrade this year, I believe it will be very soon!" Philip waved his fist.

"But even if you upgrade one level a year, it will take nine seasons to return to the Premier League... Nine years, my goodness, I don't dare to think about what I will look like in nine years!" Kenny shouted exaggeratedly with his head in his arms.

"Anyway, you won't be even darker than you are now."

"I'm pretty sure you'll be fatter than you are now!"

The two of them fought again.

Chu Zhongtian ignored them, he turned his eyes away, and at the door he saw Emily waving to him.

※※※"Long time no see, Emily." The two of them stood on the rooftop of the teaching building. There was no one else except them. It was a great place.

"I also feel like it's been a long time since Chu. Although it's only been less than three weeks..." Emily turned around, put her hair that was splattered by the wind behind her ears, and handed over a small box with exquisite packaging. "I hope you like the late Christmas gift."

It is impolite to dismantle gifts in front of the gift givers in China, but in the West, it is the opposite. Not only should you dismantle them in person, but you also have to praise them, even if the gift is not really good, it will be polite.

Chu Zhongtian took the gift and opened the packaging. Before opening the box, he looked up at Emily. He noticed a detail that Emily did not have the Cartier pearl necklace on her neck... But he didn't ask. If he could ask directly that day, it was probably due to the stimulation of alcohol.

Lying in the box was a rolled dark brown belt, which looked very fashionable, and was very different from the lifeless black ordinary belt that Chu Zhongtian was using now.

Chu Zhongtian didn't quite understand what this meant, so he glanced at Emily in confusion.

"Don't use your current belt when wearing jeans, that's what you only use when wearing formal clothes. This belt is suitable for use on jeans." Emily pointed to Chu Zhongtian's pants, and then pointed to the belt in his hand.

"That's it...I haven't studied it. Thank you, Emily."

"Let's change it now and see if the length is appropriate."

Emily's words shocked Chu Zhongtian. "Now?" He looked around.

Emily shrugged: "What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here."

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "But you are a woman..."

"This is changing the belt, not taking off your pants." Emily smiled happily when she saw Chu Zhongtian's shy look.

After Chu Zhongtian was ridiculed, he glared at Emily, but there was no lethality at all. Emily was still laughing, trembling with laughter.

Chu Zhongtian walked aside and began to untie the black belt he was using now, and replaced it with the new belt Emily bought for him. It was just the same as the size, and the length was very suitable.

"It seems that my observation is quite accurate." Emily stood behind Chu Zhongtian and said proudly.

Chu Zhongtian thought of another question - when did Emily start to observe her lower abdomen?

"Thank you for your gift, you look much more beautiful now." Chu Zhongtian thanked Emily again.

Emily stood aside, pinched her chin and looked up and down, then shook her head: "The color of the pants and clothes doesn't match, the color is a little darker. You are so old-fashioned when wearing clothes, Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian was so amused that Emily regarded herself as the Hollywood stars? Wearing clothes is so particular... "You should abandon black and dark blue and try wearing some brighter clothes, which will make you look more handsome and charming, Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian didn't want to continue on this topic, so he asked: "How are you doing in the United States, Emily?"

Emily shrugged and imitated Chu Zhongtian's original tone and said, "It's okay."

“Neither good nor bad?”

"Well. Actually, it's not a vacation. I was taken to see many people by my mother... In the new year, I think I will be getting busier and busier. Maybe I can't go to the scene to cheer you on every game, Chu." Emily's voice gradually became deeper, and her mood also fell down.

"Ah..." Hearing this, Chu Zhongtian felt a little regretful. He was used to the fact that whenever he appeared on the court, he could find Emily and the other game in the stands behind the goal as soon as he looked up. "Why are you so busy?"

"I took three ads, which is nothing. But I might have to shoot mtv and movies..."

Chu Zhongtian opened his mouth wide, and he realized that the beautiful girl standing in front of him was a student in the Department of Drama Performance. If it went well, after graduation, she would have to enter the entertainment industry, film, shoot commercials, and be chased by paparazzi... and become a real big star.

By then, can I still chat with her so close?

He thought of the big Hollywood stars who always kept people from thousands of miles away, with bodyguards around him and police officers responsible for maintaining public order and separating enthusiastic fans. They stepped on the red carpet, held their own partners, smiled professionally, waved to the fans who screamed in the distance, and then rushed to show their most beautiful and handsome side in front of the media camera.

This is a completely different world.

If you are lucky, maybe among the reporters who photographed celebrities, there would be figures carrying cameras? Maybe you have to follow the reporters and ambush in the garden outside Emily's mansion. After waiting for one night, just to take someone into her boudoir... "Hi, Chu?" Emily reached out and shook her in front of Chu Zhongtian's eyes.

"Ah? Uh, what's wrong, Emily?"

"You're distracted." Emily pouted.

"Feel sorry……"

"Why are you distracted?"

Emily tilted her head and stared at Chu Zhongtian with curious eyes.

"Uh...I think you'll be a star in the future, and then I might be a paparazzi who can sneak shots you."

Emily laughed happily. Her laughter sounded quite nice, but Chu Zhongtian seemed a little cramped with the silver flute-like laughter.

After laughing for a while, Emily recovered. She put her hands on Chu Zhongtian's shoulders and approached him. Looking at him as he was embarrassed, he shook his head and said, "No, you won't be a paparazzi. You will become a big star!"

Chu Zhongtian just thought Emily was joking again, and he curled his lips and said nothing.

But he then found that the current postures of the two of them were really ambiguous... Emily put her hands on his shoulders, and as long as she bent her elbow, the posture would become Emily's hug Chu Zhongtian's neck. The two of them were very close to each other now. Chu Zhongtian could just move forward a small step forward and his mouth would be close to Emily, and his mouth would be pressed together without any suspense.

Chu Zhongtian could clearly hear each other's heartbeats, not only his, but also Emily's. With Emily's breathing, he could also feel a stream of fragrant wet and hot air blowing on his face, making him feel a little numb. He believed that Emily could also feel his breath, because he didn't know why he was breathing heavily now... The two of them didn't know when they had fallen into such an ambiguous silence.

Chu Zhongtian didn't know where to look. Looking down, Emily's plump and upright breasts would be visible. Today, Emily didn't wear a coat, but only wore a beige tight sweater, which made her breasts more eye-catching. Lifting her gaze a little, you will see Emily's slightly opened red lips slightly, slightly opening to the rhythm of her breathing, as if tempting him to kiss... "Chu..." Even Emily's voice, Chu Zhongtian at this time, was indescribable sexy and lazy, making his bones slim.

"Put your hand on my waist," Emily ordered.

Chu Zhongtian's mind had already been blank at this time. He mechanically raised his arm and obediently placed it on Emily's slender waist. It was soft and could not hold it. This was the girl's waist... Then Emily lowered her head and put her forehead on Chu Zhongtian's shoulders.

"After graduating from college, I will leave Wimbledon and go to the United States." Her voice seemed to be coming from another world, illusory and somewhat unreal.

"I like acting, and I don't do anything except acting. So in the future, I will act and maybe become a star. But I hope you remember that no matter where I am, what I am doing, what I am, it has nothing to do with your relationship. I am me, Emily Stan, you can call me Emily or Amy. You are still you, Chu-Zhong-Tian, ​​Chu."

After saying this, Emily raised her head again and then held her hand away from Chu Zhongtian's shoulder. Seeing the two of them separated again, Chu Zhongtian felt a little regretful.

"Goodbye, Chu. I will cheer you on the 18th game!" Emily waved to Chu Zhongtian, turned around and walked towards the exit.

Chu Zhongtian was still standing there, and he still didn't come back to his senses.
Chapter completed!
