Chapter 244: It Turns Out that You Are Also Attracted by Beauty [Emotional Plot]
After finishing the 27th round of the Premier League with West Bromwich Albion, Chelsea entered a one-week rest and preparation period.
Originally, they could not rest for such a long time.
However, because the League Cup final will start on the afternoon of March 2, their 28th round of the Premier League with Fulham on March 1 was postponed by the English Football Association.
In addition, Mourinho has already rested most of the veterans in the team in the 27th round of the league.
So now the main players in Chelsea are in good physical condition.
Therefore, after Terry returned from injury and Chelsea completed the first three days of high-intensity tactical drills.
Mourinho generously gave all the first-team players a half-day holiday.
At noon on February 26, after completing the only training session of the day, all Chelsea players had a lively team dinner at the Cobham training base.
Because there is plenty of time to rest or have fun in the afternoon.
So even if there is no delicious meal at noon, Chelsea's players are still in high spirits, and the atmosphere in the base restaurant is also very warm.
"Last time I dated that girl, she insisted that I take her home, but I refused. When we got to the hotel, she wanted to get straight to the point with me, which scared me so much that I immediately got dressed and drove away..."
Bertrand knocked on the water cup in front of him, vividly describing his "chance encounter" with a young girl in a nightclub some time ago.
When he said that he didn't even do anything after putting on his pants and clothes, and drove away directly, the other Chelsea players around him laughed at him.
However, Bertrand turned his neck proudly and pointed at several younger teammates at the scene with his fingers.
"Don't laugh, be smart! Don't think that those girls who come up to you must have had an affair!
She doesn't let you take protective measures because she wants to make you feel better? Wrong! They want to get pregnant with your children and then empty your wallet!"
Bertrand's "experience" frightened several young Chelsea players at the scene.
The other older players just smiled ambiguously and did not refute what Bertrand said.
Li Ang did not refute it either, because he had seen his teammates receive calls from such women asking for money when he played in Spain and Italy.
This is a common phenomenon in football.
After all, professional players are too energetic and physically fit.
And as long as they can play in the four major leagues, they may earn more money in a week than ordinary people earn in a year.
Not to mention the main players who play in the four major leagues.
They have always been the best money-making targets in the eyes of those nightclub guys.
If they can really get pregnant with children from professional players, then these women will really have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
After seeing so much, Li Ang has always kept a distance from this kind of women, but he does not mean to look down on them.
This is a life choice for them, or a means of making a living. Li Ang cannot accept it, but he will not judge the so-called right or wrong at will.
And he also believed that there were many young girls in the world who did not share his values, but there were also many who shared his values.
For example...
After receiving the text message from his assistant, Li Ang finished the rest of his lunch in a few bites, then went to the locker room to wash up and fix his hair.
So when the other Chelsea players simply washed up and drove away from the training base, Li Ang changed into a handsome and neat winter casual outfit and fixed his hair.
When driving to the parking lot, Li Ang passed by Bertrand and Hazard, and he showed them a handsome smile.
Hazard put two fingers in his mouth and whistled.
Bertrand also looked at Li Ang in surprise.
After all, since Li Ang transferred to Chelsea, Bertrand has never seen Li Ang leave the training base in such a formal and handsome outfit!
"Hey, boss! You're not really going on a date, are you?!"
Lukaku also poked his head out of the back seat of Bertrand's car and asked Leon loudly.
But he just wanted to make a joke.
But what he didn't expect was that Leon rolled down the window after getting in the car and smiled and replied to him.
"You're right this time!"
Then Leon drove out of his car and left. The three people who were waiting for Karas to come out looked at each other.
Half an hour later, Leon appeared in a cafe by the Thames wearing a huge pair of sunglasses that covered half of his face.
His assistant and Anastasia were taking a break here.
After picking up Anastasia at the airport at noon today, Leon's assistant took the girl directly to this cafe not far from the Cobham training base, which was often visited by Leon and other young Chelsea players.
As soon as Li Ang opened the door, he saw Anastasia curiously standing under the photos framed by the boss in the coffee shop.
Those photos were taken by Li Ang, his teammates and the boss.
The girl wore a white down jacket, a ponytail, and a pair of sky blue straight jeans today, which made her look very refreshing.
Li Ang seemed to have forgotten that this was actually only the second time he and Anastasia met.
He walked calmly behind Anastasia and suddenly smiled and said.
"Just looking at these photos can't fill your stomach."
In Li Ang's sight, the girl's white and small ears seemed to tremble slightly twice, and when she turned her head and looked at him with a surprised face, she even took two steps back.
Li Ang quickly moved his sunglasses down, and seeing the girl's defensiveness turned into surprise, he stretched out his index finger and put it between his lips.
Seeing that there were at least 10 customers sitting in the coffee shop at the moment, Anastasia seemed to understand.
She smiled at Li Ang somewhat embarrassedly, and then she also walked to a table by the window at Li Ang's signal.
As for the assistant who had been staying in the store to look after the girl, he left quietly and tacitly the moment Li Ang walked into the coffee shop.
"Justin told me that you didn't want to have lunch and only drank a cup of coffee. Is that right?"
The first sentence Li Ang said was not to ask Anastasia how she was doing recently, or how she felt after returning to London.
After he skillfully took the menu on the table of the coffee shop, the first thing he did was to ask the other party why she didn't have lunch.
"We are going to take an exam recently, and we need to... need to lose weight."
The girl said the reason why she didn't eat lunch, and the slight restraint that existed in her seemed to be relaxed.
"I'll run with you tonight, either in the gym or outdoors, the excess calories will be consumed quickly, and it won't delay your weight loss plan at all. But running on an empty stomach is not a good choice."
Li Ang said this, and asked Anastasia if she could eat seafood.
The little girl may not have eaten much lunch for a long time.
Li Ang saw that she wanted to refuse, but finally struggled, and her fair face became pink, so he smiled and made up his mind.
A small portion of seafood fried rice, plus a portion of Galician octopus, the familiar aroma instantly made Li Ang feel like he was back in Spain.
The girl ate very deliciously.
Even three minutes ago, she had mustered up the courage to ask Li Ang if he could ask the kitchen of the coffee shop to cancel this dish.
But now she didn't seem to want to refuse at all.
After eating the whole small portion of seafood fried rice and more than half of the Galician octopus, Anastasia stopped.
"It tastes good, right? The owner of this store is Spanish. I asked the local fans at the beginning, and then I knew that they opened a coffee shop here that can also provide Spanish food."
Li Ang usually smiled and explained to the girl, while picking up the fork and finishing the remaining half of the Galician octopus.
He didn't notice that Anastasia, who was sitting opposite him at the moment, suddenly smiled.
After Li Ang stuffed the last piece of Galician octopus into his mouth, he ordered two more cups of coffee and sat with the girl in the store for ten minutes before paying the bill and taking her away.
Li Ang originally thought that after the two met today, they might need more time to adapt to find the kind of comfort they usually have when chatting with text messages.
As a result, after he accompanied Anastasia to finish lunch, the little girl was no longer as reserved as she was when they first met.
From the time they drove to downtown London to the time they visited St. Paul's Cathedral that day, the girl was more active and generous than Li Ang had imagined.
However, some small troubles also came with the happy relationship between the two.
Anastasia's beauty attracted many Londoners to stop and look back along the way.
Li Ang only brought a pair of sunglasses today. In England, there are no stars who deliberately disguise themselves when they go out.
What is wearing a hat, sunglasses, and masks? This strange trend will not appear here.
So Li Ang was recognized by his fans as expected.
Li Ang certainly knew that he was very popular among Chelsea fans.
But what he didn't expect was that when he and Anastasia were surrounded by the crowd.
A young fan wearing an Arsenal-themed sports jacket was also very excited to get his autograph.
In the end, Li Ang signed for this lovely Arsenal brother with a funny look.
In the crowd, he appealed to the citizens at the scene not to take pictures, and gave autographs to at least 40 people.
However, seeing more and more people at the scene, Li Ang felt bad in his heart. He didn't care too much, and pulled Anastasia's arm and hugged her in his arms.
Anastasia, who had plunged into Li Ang's arms, hadn't reacted yet. Li Ang protected her while apologizing to the fans at the scene and leaving, and called his assistant.
Before the call was connected, Li Ang had time to explain to the girl in his arms.
"There are too many people at the scene, and I don't know if there are any reporters in the crowd now. Sorry, Anna..."
Anastasia understood what Li Ang meant.
Li Ang himself was certainly not afraid of being photographed by reporters, but he didn't want Anastasia to suffer such public pressure for no reason.
Don't underestimate the Sun. For sales, they can make up ambiguous stories even if they didn't happen.
Anastasia finally buried her little head in Li Ang's arms.
And when Li Ang's assistant and security team arrived at the scene and took the two away.
The paparazzi of the Sun who got the news only took the last photo of Li Ang protecting Anastasia getting into the car and leaving, which made them slap their thighs in frustration!
The gossip naturally spread on the spot. Even though the Sun did not get more photos in the end, there were too many people watching Anastasia's beautiful face.
Under these people's vivid descriptions, the Sun's fresh report on Leon's gossip the next day was directly swept away by curious Londoners.
This gossip was not only fermented in London and England. In less than a day, the sports media throughout Europe seemed to have switched to entertainment gossip.
They made a big fuss about Leon's love affair.
And at this time when the mainstream European leagues happened to be temporarily resting.
Fans who had no games to watch also turned their attention to Leon, who had been famous for his clean private life.
They did not believe the news that some media speculated that Leon had messed around. They were more interested in what kind of woman had taken Leon down.
In this unprecedented public opinion situation, Leon naturally could not appear on the streets of London with Anastasia.
But he did not ask Mendes to refute the rumors for his public relations this time.
After taking the girl directly back to his Surrey villa not far from the training base, Li Ang apologized.
But Anastasia said she could understand.
After seeing that there was no embarrassment in the girl's calm and generous expression, Li Ang was relieved.
Her relationship with Anastasia is a little subtle now. If you want to say they are friends, then they can indeed be considered friends.
But he couldn't directly announce to the public:
They are just friends.
So Li Ang did not ask Mendes to refute the rumors immediately.
He originally planned to spend more time with Anastasia to see if she had the same thoughts as him.
But today's experience made him sober up quickly. With his current identity, he could not get to know a girl slowly.
Because the public opinion environment did not support it.
He did not want to disturb the other person's world too much, but under the attention of the all-pervasive media reporters, as long as he appeared, everything and everyone around him was basically transparent.
Even if the Sun did not find out any information about Anastasia today, what about the future?
Do they have to be cautious and cover up every time they meet, even if it's just for a meal?
Li Ang doesn't like this kind of life, and he doesn't think any normal person would like this way of communication.
Just like now, after the outside media is boiling, Li Ang can't even let his assistant team take Anastasia to the hotel.
Because his car, his assistant team's car, and even everyone in his assistant team, the outside media newspapers have dug up everything.
He dared to let his assistant take Anastasia to a certain hotel, and the Sun dared to directly break the news, saying that Li Ang and a strange beauty had a private meeting in a certain hotel.
So even if he felt it was not right, Li Ang had no choice but to take Anastasia directly to his residence.
After dinner, Li Ang took Anastasia to digest food and jog in his own gym as agreed in the afternoon.
The two still had a happy chat.
The girl was not dissatisfied with anything, and Li Ang did not treat her badly.
But after settling Anastasia down and returning to the master bedroom to rest, Li Ang could not fall asleep for a long time.
"We have only met twice, and including today's time, we have not even spent twelve hours together.
She likes chatting with me very much, I can clearly feel it.
The first time I hugged her in the afternoon, she did not struggle, she did not reject it.
I took her directly to my home, she trusted me very much and did not raise any objections
..."
Many fragmented memories flashed through Li Ang's mind, and these rational analyses prevented him from falling asleep quickly.
But he also knew that in many cases, women's way of dealing with and analyzing some things was not rational.
"Maybe I need to think from another angle?"
Li Ang muttered to himself in the dark room.
"Even if young European girls have open-minded ideas about love, it is impossible for them to agree to live in the home of a man they have only met twice, right?"
Thinking of this, Li Ang suddenly lifted the quilt and turned on the light in his room.
"At least she is not opposed to getting along with me. She is a little girl who flew from Paris to London and is still living in my house. If she also has a good impression of me, then she is at least more courageous than me!"
After putting on a T-shirt and sports pants, Li Ang picked up his mobile phone and walked out of the room.
"Even if she really doesn't like me, it doesn't matter. I can't let a little girl who is only 18 years old be restricted by public opinion and have to live with me.
If it is really spread by some media, I will be fine, but what kind of criticism will she and her family receive?"
Li Ang's thoughts became clearer and clearer.
He really didn't have much experience in relationships, but his ability to handle things was always online.
Either he should express his feelings openly and face the media and public opinion formally.
Or he should resolve this public opinion dilemma as soon as possible, openly declare their friendship and give the girl freedom.
It would be irresponsible to let a girl live in his home without knowing it clearly.
If the media spreads the news indiscriminately and her personal world is destroyed by public opinion, then Li Ang will only feel that it is his responsibility.
After thinking this through, Li Ang's confidence and generosity seemed to have returned to him.
Standing in front of Anastasia's guest room, Li Ang thought about it and took out his mobile phone to send a text message to the other party.
If Anna was not asleep, he would ask the other party to come out and solve the matter properly. If Anna was already asleep, he would talk to her about it before going to training tomorrow.
But what he didn't expect was that he didn't receive the text message, but a call from Anastasia!
The cell phone rang suddenly in the quiet corridor. Li Ang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly pressed the answer button.
At the moment the call was connected, the girl's slightly panicked exclamation came from the other side.
After a pause of two or three seconds, Anastasia's voice came from the receiver.
"I... I'm not asleep. Are you at the door of my room?"
Obviously, the girl heard it the moment Li Ang's cell phone rang.
Li Ang also felt very embarrassed at this moment. It seemed a bit perverted to wait at someone's door and send text messages in the middle of the night...
"Yes... but I just came here! I thought if you didn't sleep, I would talk to you. If you slept, I would go back to the room directly and talk to you when you wake up tomorrow."
Feeling the heat on his face, Li Ang explained himself calmly.
He thought Anastasia would take some time to open the door.
But after hanging up the phone, it was only three or four seconds before Ana, dressed in full, opened the door directly. Or rather, it seemed that she did not go to bed at this time.
After exercising and washing in the evening, the girl's face had long been free of light makeup, but at this moment she looked particularly clean and refreshed.
The ponytail she wore during the day had also been let down.
The smooth long hair was draped over the girl's shoulders, and a few strands were stained on her fair and pink cheeks, which made her look not as generous as she was during the day, but rather timid.
The main light in the guest room was not turned on, Anastasia just turned on a table lamp that emitted a soft halo.
At this moment, she completely opened the door and stood in the room, not speaking, looking at Li Ang with her eyelids slightly drooping, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Ang did not speak at the first time, he was organizing his words, and at the same time trying to make himself look more "normal" now.
"First of all, thank you for your understanding of what happened during the day, Anna."
Leon took a deep breath, then slowly spoke, looking generously at Anastasia, who was still unmoved at the moment.
"But I think it's unfair to you to have such a situation happen now. Such a storm of public opinion shouldn't happen to you..."
When Leon was about to say the next paragraph and make his intention clear, the girl standing opposite him frowned and suddenly spoke.
"So? Are you going to drive me away now?"
The girl's tone seemed to carry some small resentment, which Leon had never heard from her during the day.
He waved his hands repeatedly.
"I definitely didn't think so!"
Anastasia's eyelids seemed to droop again, and her hands pinched the door panel beside her.
"So what do you want to talk to me about?"
Seeing this, Leon made up his mind, put his right hand on the outside of his thigh and twisted it hard!
The feeling of pain made his brain suddenly clear up a lot.
Then he uttered the words he had organized smoothly.
"I haven't been in love much, but I think you know my feelings to some extent... I'm sorry for what happened today, but I don't want to let you bear the risk of public opinion without knowing it clearly."
When Li Ang said this, he felt as if a huge stone had been unloaded from his heart, and he felt much more relaxed.
"So, Anna, tomorrow I will only have two answers to the media, either you are my girlfriend, or you are my friend, you..."
Before Li Ang finished saying "You have a good rest, you can give me an answer tomorrow", Anastasia raised her head again and looked at him with burning eyes.
"You have to tell me the truth, don't lie to me."
The girl's voice was gentle at this moment, but it was also very powerful. She was very serious and determined.
Li Ang looked at her and nodded subconsciously.
"Do you...really like me?"
"Yes, I like you and I have a good impression of you!"
"Why? We have only met twice now. Is it because of our usual chats?"
"No."
When Li Ang said this, he coughed lightly with some embarrassment, but he still answered honestly.
"Because when I first saw you, I thought you were very beautiful, and I couldn't help but want to ask your name."
After saying that he was attracted by beauty in a slightly more elegant way, Li Ang did not wait for the dissatisfaction or contempt from the girl as he expected.
He saw Anastasia's full smile on her face, and what he waited for was the girl's bold and active hug.
This sudden change made Li Ang stunned.
So much so that he didn't know how to put his hands.
After clearly hearing the strong heartbeat in his chest, Li Ang asked back in a daze.
"What about you, why..."
"Same as you!"
The girl tightened her arms around Li Ang's neck, and her slightly playful and cunning answer reached Li Ang's ears, making his ears a little itchy.
Li Ang finally reacted at this moment.
Why did Anastasia tell him her name even though she was shy.
Why was she willing to chat with him every day by text message.
Why did she just find an excuse to ask her aunt when I invited her to London some time ago, but actually agreed readily.
And today she was obediently held in my arms...
Li Ang hugged the girl's waist with both hands, and all the doubts and uneasiness in his heart were swept away.
"So, you were also attracted by beauty..."
The emotional plot is basically at this level. I haven't had any serious love affairs myself. When I was in school, I rejected all the girls who pursued me. If I really want to write, I can only rely on my little personal ambiguous experience and imagination to solve it, but at least this problem has been solved. Please don't say that my little lion is a eunuch in the book review area. Li Ang will have a girlfriend in the future!
It's just that his author hasn't...
