"Look! This is San Diego. Santiago Bernabéu Stadium! Donn stood under the tall white wall, pointing to the name on the high wall excitedly, but Shania yawned beside her. A few days after arriving in Spain, she originally thought that she would go to the beach, the ancient city or something for sightseeing, but she didn't expect to come here early in the morning to watch the stadium.

"Uncle Tony, haven't you seen enough while you're at work?"

Shocked by the grandeur of the Bernabeu Stadium, Donn didn't hear the displeasure in Shania's tone, and he shook his head: "How can that kind of middle school stadium-like place be compared to this kind of football temple?" ”

Shania deliberately exaggerated the yawning voice this time, and Don finally noticed her yawning.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't wake up? Didn't you go to bed at eleven o'clock yesterday? ”

Donn's words made Shania feel very weak, she rolled her eyes, and stopped yawning: "No, I'll move my facial muscles and beautify." ”

"I think about these ...... at a young age" Don smiled, and after a few days of getting along, he felt more and more that this little girl was very cute.

Sometimes he also thinks that if the girl really doesn't want to go back to her adoptive parents, he can just go through some procedures to adopt her by himself. Although I don't know if he will be bored with having a child by his side in the future, he now likes to live with such a lively little angel. At least I won't feel so stuffy every day, even if I occasionally fight, it's good.

"You really like football." Shania sneered slightly.

"Don't you like it? You're from Brazil......" Don glanced at her.

"Of course, I'm Brazilian. Also loves football...... Ah, I was wrong, you don't like it! You are obsessed! Infatuated! Shania pointed at Don and announced loudly, "You're obsessed with football like you're obsessed with women!" ”

"Children know what women are obsessed with." Don gently patted Shania away from the hand she was pointing at herself, "Football and women are two completely different ...... Stuff. Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat. ”

Shania was a little strange and scratched her head: "Aren't you going in?" ”

Don looked up at the majestic soccer field and shook his head.

"Judy, I'm a football coach, you know?"

Shania nodded, but didn't understand what it had to do with her question.

"If I go into there one day," Donn said, pointing to the Bernabeu, "there are only two possibilities." One, I lead the team to play here; Two, I became the master here. ”

Don turned his back to her and said this, and Shania couldn't see his expression.

"Let's go, let's go to lunch! I'll take you to the famous Madrid stew......" Donn took Shania's hand and left the temple of football without looking back.

※※※ In the following days, Don took Shania to Atletico Madrid's home stadium, Calderón Stadium, Barcelona's home stadium Camp Nou, and Valencia's home stadium Mestalla. They rush from city to city, quickly navigating the city's soccer stadium before moving on to their next destination.

Shania could only look out of her window at the sun-drenched beaches and the rippling sea as the train passed outside Barcelona.

For the past week, she has been in Spain, but she doesn't think it's any different from being in Brazil or England. Have we ever been to Malaga, the "city of paradise"? Have we ever seen one of Spain's most famous bullfights? Have we ever been to Formentera, the last blissful place in the Mediterranean? Have we been to the Cathedral of Seville? Have we been to Barcelona Cathedral? …… We've never been anywhere. There are hundreds of photos stored in the digital camera, but all of them are about football fields.

She sighed, looked at Don, who was sleeping crookedly from the exertion of the journey, and pouted.

This longed-for holiday has passed...... It's so boring!

Sleeping Don and sighing Shania don't know that while they are traveling around Spain, there are people in England who are going crazy looking for them.

As is customary, Mr. Finnan picked up the Times after breakfast, and after reading the latest political and economic news, he noticed a photo in the corner.

This is a missing person notice, a pair of anxious parents ask the whole society for help to find their runaway daughter, in addition to carefully describing the woman's appearance, name, age, height and other characteristics, also attached a clear photo.

Finnan's attention was drawn to the photo, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like a person—the little girl he had seen in the taxi, the little girl curled up in Donn's arms!

Although he didn't know what was going on, out of a sense of duty, Mr. Finnan picked up the phone and dialed the number at the end of the notice.

While waiting for his flight at Madrid airport, Donn took the time to sort out the photos in his digital camera, which was a huge project, and he didn't expect it to be done in just one hour. Shania sat across from him and kicked her legs back and forth, her two snow-white calves dangling right in front of his eyes, making him always distracted.

So Don simply kept his original posture unchanged, but secretly moved his eyes up and carefully observed the little girl.

Shania seemed a little bored, she was not honest in her chair, looking around and not knowing what to do. One moment she pouted and looked at the planes taking off and landing outside the window, and the next she took out her nail clippers to repair her fingernails, but soon her attention shifted to the beard of a fat man with a chin diagonally opposite...... Don then realized that his mind was full of football and giants these days, and he inadvertently snubbed Shania, who was with him. Despite this, Shania never lost her temper in front of her, and at most sighed more often, her mouth pursed so much that she could hang an oil bottle.

Don decided to make amends, he put the digital camera away, then got up and said to Shania, "Judy." I'll leave a little bit, and you're here waiting for me. ”

Hearing Don speak to her, the look of loss on Shanya's face immediately swept away, and she nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll wait for you here!" ”

Coming out of the waiting area, Don wanders around the building, trying to buy something for Shania as a souvenir of the tour, but he forgets about it when he is at the tourist attraction. Now I want to make up for this regret but can't find the right thing to give.

"Headless Fly" Donn bumped around and stopped in front of a duty-free shop selling gifts. He was attracted by the cute, cute toy dolls in the shop window. He remembered that girls would love this cute toy.

So he walked in and picked out the doll that Shania might like...... So much, which one is better to send? Finally, his eyes stopped on the biggest doll - My Neighbor Totoro. He remembered that when he first met Shania, the kid had a miniature chinchilla hanging on his backpack, and that was it!

Back at the stand, Shania was still boredly bowing her head to get her nails trimmed, even though there was nothing to fix there. Seeing her tilt her head and look absent-minded, Don planned to tease her.

He quietly walked around to the back of Shania's seat, and then slowly put the chinchilla doll in front of the girl, and lowered his voice to imitate Totoro's cry: "Ahh

"Wow!" Panicked, Shania was so frightened that she almost jumped out of her seat.

Seeing Shania's shoulders jerk suddenly, Don couldn't help but laugh out loud from behind.

Shania, who realized that she had been tricked, frowned, pursed her lips, and did not speak, just squinted at Don. But Don didn't see the annoyance in those oriental eyes. He handed the doll in his hand to Shania, who was feigning anger.

"Give, give you. Originally, I said to take you out to play, but it turned out that you were with me, and I completely forgot about your feelings......" Don said that he was a little embarrassed, and the other hand was pulling his nose and scratching his hair, and he didn't know where to put it.

Looking at Donn's embarrassment, Shania snorted, but still reached out to take the doll, and then buried her face in the arms of the fluffy chinchilla, rubbing back and forth.

“totoro！” She screamed happily, her voice muffled in the doll's fluff, which was a transliteration of Totoro's name.

Seeing that her mood improved, Don was also relieved.

His holiday is over and he is back in Nottingham to prepare for the new season, and although the team is still on vacation, he must plan ahead as a coach. When the time comes, the work will be busy, there will be no day and night, what will Shania do? The problem he had been avoiding for a week finally had to be faced.

After more than a week of getting along, Don discovered a lot of Shania's cute and likable places. He felt that maybe with such a lively, cute and sensible little girl, life would not be so boring. Before meeting Shanya, his life was actually very monotonous and boring, except for work, most of the time he spent in the bar, occasionally looking forward to Yang Yan to give him a lesson.

If Shania also likes to be with him, why not adopt her? Anyway, she was also adopted by the ruthless pair...... In fact, the most important reason is buried deep in Don's heart, and perhaps he himself does not know it, that is, this thirteen-year-old smart little girl will remind him of another child from time to time, about her age, but can never smile.

"Judy, do you still want to go home...... Uh, I mean that home you have in Brazil? ”

Shania, who was having fun with the Totoro doll, shook her head.

"That'...... You ......" Donn didn't know how to ask this question.

"I'll just live with Uncle Tony, you. Don't worry, I won't trouble Uncle Tony! ”

That's what Donn wanted to hear, and he grinned. But I frowned in my heart...... The little one thought it was a simple thing, and even though Don had never adopted a child, he knew it was a complicated thing. It seems that this summer is destined to be busier than usual. I'm going to have to find out what Jack is when I go back. Randy, ask him about the legal process for intercountry adoption.

Looking at Shania, who was holding a chinchilla half her size, Don En smiled bitterly and shook his head: I didn't expect that my wife didn't know where it was, but this child had it first......
