Manchester has a temperate maritime climate that is mild and rainy all year round, so in the hottest summer, the temperature is in the early 20s, and it doesn't feel cold, and in the coldest winter, the temperature is not lower than 0 degrees, that is, it rains a lot.

On Christmas morning, Xiao Yu was lying in bed when he heard the sound of dripping water from the window.

It's been half a year since he crossed over to Manchester, and Xiao Yu is already familiar with this kind of sound, so he can naturally guess what the weather is outside.

grabbed the quilt on the bed and covered his head, Xiao Yu felt that this kind of weather was most suitable for a lonely man like himself who couldn't find a show when he went out!

I remember that Eason Chan also sang a song called "Christmas Knot", and the lyrics in it have such a paragraph:

lonely

lonelychristmas

merrymerrychristmas

Write who the card can be sent to

Heartbroken elephant confetti on the street

Calls don't answer

Don't be caught I've been locked in my room all night

The carnival laughter sounded like mourning music

The tears in the eye sockets were warm and frozen

Watching boring shows on TV

Lying on the couch becomes an unconscious plant

This is simply a portrayal of Xiao Yu's current mood!!

The day before yesterday, Walsh reminded him that Christmas was coming, and Xiao Yu also made a special trip to find Curtis and Evra, wanting to let the three lonely men spend Christmas together, but who would have thought that Curtis's parents decided to come from London to spend Christmas with him, and Evra flew back to Paris on yesterday's plane, or Xiao Yu bought a ticket for him.

Walsh, Bruce and Messi all called to invite Xiao Yu to their house yesterday, but they were all rejected by Xiao Yu, after all, they are a family, and it is very inconvenient to go over by themselves, so why bother to bring trouble to others at this kind of festival?

No matter how boring it is, it's all your own business!

I used to be busy with the affairs of the club, and I had something to do every day, but now that I was suddenly free, Xiao Yu really felt very unaccustomed to it, and I didn't know what to do.

So I walked around the apartment, watching the rain on the windowsill, reading magazines on the couch, or turning on the TV to watch programs, but the boring time always passed very slowly.

Just when Xiao Yu was hesitating whether to go out for a walk, the phone rang.

"Hi, Xiao Yu, merrychristmas!" As soon as the phone was connected, Eva Snow's blessing came.

“merry

christmas！ Why did you suddenly think to call me? Xiao Yu asked happily.

In such a boring time, it is undoubtedly quite a beautiful thing to be able to receive a call from a friend.

"I'm bored, so I'll call, but I don't have many friends, so I can only call you, by the way, it doesn't affect you, right?" On the other end of the phone, Eva Snow was smiling, obviously in a good mood.

"No, I'm bored and don't know what to do!" Xiao Yu said very frankly.

"Yes, I'm usually busy and I can't wait to have time to rest, but now I'm finally resting, but I find that I'm so bored, everyone else is busy celebrating the festival, but I can only hide in the hotel room boringly."

"Are you still filming in Australia?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

The two movies proposed by Xiao Yu before, [Desert Island Survivors] had to be pushed down because of the temporary change in the filming schedule, and after successfully passing the audition, after ending the filming of [The Matrix], she joined the [Gladiator] crew and played the Roman princess Lucila in this film.

"Yes, but in a little while, the filming of the Australian side will be over, and the crew will move to Farnham in the UK."

"That's right next to London." Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Eva Snow on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, "I don't think I'll go back!" ”

"Fell out with your family?" Xiao Yu tried to ask.

"Hmm!" Eva Snow hesitated for a moment, then replied.

"Because you broke up with your boyfriend?" Xiao Yu asked again.

There was silence on the other end of the phone again, and after a while, he spoke again: "My mother likes him very much, thinks he is very good, and I have a big fight with her about this, I feel sorry, but I have to stick to my own decision." ”

"Then I'm relieved, but fortunately it's not for the reasons mentioned in the magazine!" Xiao Yu deliberately laughed.

Eva Snow must have laughed too, "Actually, my family and I have always been very conservative, so what the newspaper says is true, but that's not the main reason." ”

"That's fine, as long as you know what you're after, you shouldn't hesitate."

Eva Snow was happy to be understood by her friends, but she was clearly reluctant to go deeper on the issue.

"By the way, tell me about you, you should be preparing for Christmas with your family now, right?"

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, "My parents have passed away, and I am alone now!" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know!" Eva Snow hastened to apologize.

"It's okay, I'm not sad now, because I've found another relative."

"What?" Eva Snow is a little weird.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I treat the club as my son!" ”

Eva Snow burst out laughing, she had never seen anything like that before.

"Your boss is really blessed to have an employee like you!"

Xiao Yu raised her eyebrows, daring her to think that she was working for people, but this is fine!

"Frankly, Miss Eva Snow, I think ......"

"Call me Eva, my friends call me Eva!" Eva Snow steals Xiao Yu's words.

"Okay, Eva, seriously, I'm just now realizing that I don't have much in common with you, you like movies, you don't know anything about football, and I love football and don't know much about movies, but you can be friends!"

"Perhaps, this is the fate mentioned in Chinese culture!"

"What do you like to do? It's after acting. Xiao Yu asked casually.

"Traveling, I want to be able to walk around, and, if I'm at home, I prefer to sleep or watch TV."

"Oh, I don't like to sleep or watch TV the most, but I also love to travel and I want to have the opportunity to visit the home stadiums of all the big football clubs in the world and see the local football culture." Xiao Yu was talking about his wishes in his previous life.

"You're such a football madman!" Eva Snow teased.

"Then you're a true movie maniac!" Xiao Yu sneered.

Two lonely and boring people, in the special festival of Christmas, both with a kind of mindset to kill time, cooking porridge on the phone, but unexpectedly got some happiness from this bowl of porridge and found some joy of the festival.

"Oh no, I'm hungry!" Eva Snow on the other end of the phone shouted mischievously.

"Oh my God, you haven't had lunch yet, have you? It's past 2 o'clock! Xiao Yu on the phone smiled gloatingly, and then ate the instant noodles he had just cooked.

Although the taste of instant noodles in foreign countries is different from that in China, this kind of porridge while eating instant noodles while making a phone call made Xiao Yu's heart flood with a trace of good memories of his previous life, but in the past, he used to watch a ball game while eating instant noodles, or play on the computer.

"I didn't even eat breakfast, I just ordered a lunch, cough, the things here are not very good, I suddenly want to eat, white rice, my mother used to say, Chinese don't eat is not steady!"

"That's right, at least I eat every meal now, and the Chinese food is delicious, like my favorite teppanyaki beef, wow, it's tender and chewy...... Oh, and the boiled live fish, the spicy taste is mouth-watering......"

I believe that if Walsh or Bruce and others are here now, they will definitely be surprised, because they really didn't realize that Xiao Yu is still such a capable character, as soon as he introduces his favorite Chinese food, his eloquence is definitely eyebrows, and Eva Snow on the other side of the phone is drooling.

"How about a chance we can travel to China?" Eva Snow suddenly suggested.

"Yes, but we can eat these Chinese foods."

"Really?" Eva Snow looked excited, "Then I'll find a chance to go to Manchester for Chinese food first, and then make an appointment to travel to China, I heard that the Great Wall is spectacular, I want to see it!" ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered a sentence.

If you don't go to the Great Wall, you're not a hero, and if you go to the Great Wall, you're a fool!

However, in front of foreign female comrades, they must take care of the face of the motherland, so Xiao Yu praised the Great Wall again, saying that it was more spectacular than the pyramids and more mysterious than the stone statues on Easter Island.

I have to admit that Xiao Yu has a good personality, and the language he uses is more popular and interesting, unlike those stereotypical Britons, Xiao Yu can always make Eva Snow laugh with a sentence or two.

Time passed without even noticing.

The two of them started talking in the morning, talked until the afternoon, and then talked from the afternoon to the evening.

I really have to admire the fit of these two, Xiao Yu said that Eva Snow had never heard of the topic, but she was very interested, and Eva Snow said that Xiao Yu had never heard of it, but she was just as interested, so the two of them just like that, you talked for a while and I said for a while, without feeling the passage of time at all.

I thought that Christmas should be quite difficult, but it passed in this phone call, and it wasn't until I woke up the next morning that Xiao Yu found that he had slept on the sofa in the living room last night, and the mobile phone was still plugged into the socket to charge.

"It's a crazy Christmas!" Xiao Yu twisted his sore neck and said with a wry smile.

He really didn't realize that he was still so able to talk.

However, the price must be high, at least bent over to sleep on the sofa, this body will definitely be tortured today!

I struggled to get up from the couch and walked back to my room to take a shower, brush my teeth, and change into clean clothes.

After leaving the house, I took the bus outside the community and came to the office at the Newton Heath training ground.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Walsh, Bruce, and Cassel had all arrived earlier than him, and when they saw Xiao Yu, they all had ambiguous expressions.

"Hey guys, how was last night?" Xiao Yu felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and walked over to pour a glass of water after speaking.

It may be the after-effects of talking too much yesterday, causing him to still feel that his throat is very dry.

"We're good, but you should be good!" Bruce laughed differently.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

"Tell me the truth, who the hell did you talk to yesterday? I even talked all day, I can't see that you can still talk so much! Walsh looked at Xiao Yu with a real faceless look.

The latter smiled weakly, but he was resolute and didn't say anything!

"It's a secret that can't be told!"

PS: Well, I admit it, I confess, I turn myself in, please forgive me!

There is also a shift in the evening!
