When the lights are on, East London is more like a market than a neon-lit West London with high-rise buildings.

In a small bar, customers gather to drink and talk, and the TV in the bar plays the Premier League game that ended more than an hour ago, and the owner, a black man in his thirties, wears a slim waiter costume and wipes his wine glass behind the bar, and if a customer orders a drink, he immediately puts down the glass and serves the customer, behaves politely, and occasionally chats and laughs with the guests.

Aldridge, still dressed in the suit he had worn in the afternoon, pushed open the door and walked in, and there was a rush of heckling in the bar.

"Hey, who is this?"

Brady laughed at the billiard table in the depths of the bar, his words drawing everyone's attention.

"WOW, Aldridge, you've done a good job, and if the momentum continues, we will definitely be able to play in the Premier League next year!"

The uncle, who didn't know him, gave Aldrich a drunken thumbs up.

"Mr. Hall, I like Larson, he's different, uh, reminds me of Teddy, he's going to stay at Millwall, right? We can't always sell all the good players to other teams! ”

A young man in his early twenties ran up to Aldrich and muttered.

Does the current Larsson remind Millwall fans of Sheringham?

Perhaps, Aldridge doesn't care, he doesn't have any special feelings for Sheringham, and even if Sheringham goes to Manchester United, the number of goals scored each year actually seems to be too far from the top scorers.

Aldrich patiently chatted with everyone who came up to greet him, and then he sat down at the bar, looked at the black man behind the bar, and smiled: "The bar business is good, can't you afford to hire someone?" ”

In that teasing smile, the black boss poured Aldrich a small glass of whiskey, and said gently: "The other guys have gone to dinner, and if it's late, I'm afraid I'm really too busy to be alone, and the peak just now has passed." ”

Aldridge glanced thoughtfully at the TV in the bar, the previous peak should have been when the Premier League was broadcast.

The owner of the bar is an old acquaintance of Aldrich: Sander.

Eight years after starting out as a video cassette shop, Aldridge became the head coach and Sander owned a bar property.

Aldridge drank a glass of whiskey, and then said to Sander: "Here steal foreign signals to broadcast Premier League games, sooner or later the FA will come to investigate, someone will come to check, you put it away, don't be a bird, once you go to court, the lawsuit can drag you to bankruptcy." ”

Sander nodded softly.

Not only his bars, but almost all bars in the United Kingdom will use the technology of stealing signals to illegally broadcast the Premier League, and Sky TV sells the broadcast rights of the Premier League to other countries almost all of the contracts are tens of millions of pounds, but there are loopholes in the satellite signal encryption technology of other European countries.

Bar owners like Sander can buy the hacking tricks of the Premier League from the black market for a few hundred pounds, and then every broadcast day, guests can enter the stadium to watch the Premier League for only £1, and the accompanying drinks are very profitable.

Aldridge nodded him and walked to the depths of the bar with a bottle of beer, where there were two billiard tables, Brady and the other friends were playing billiards, and when he saw Aldrich coming, Brady threw the club to him, and laughed: "Millwall did a great job today." ”

Aldrich threw his blazer to a nearby chair, put the bottle on the pool table, and played billiards.

After batting, Aldridge straightened up, and Fred, who is of Nigerian descent, handed over a lit cigarette, and Aldrich took it and smoked it.

Fred put his arm around his shoulders and smiled, "Aldrich, you haven't changed at all. ”

Aldrich pushed him away and scolded, "Grass, how long have you not taken a bath?" Smoked me. ”

Haha

Aldrich, who returned to London a few months ago to meet his friends for the first time, chatted with them while playing billiards, smoking, drinking, talking about women, etc., just as they used to be together.

As the days went on and the number of customers came to the bar for a drink in the evening, Aldrich was no longer noticeable, as he took off his suit, unbuttoned his shirt, removed his tie, held a beer bottle in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and chatted with Brady Fred and the others, laughing and laughing like carefree young people who had not yet stepped into society.

"My team, you say? Thor, do you understand football? Lao Tzu's team bloodied Derby County with four goals this afternoon, you say Derby County has an advantage? Bullshit! So why didn't they score a single goal? Do you know what an advantage is? You can't score, you can't win, the advantage is! ”

Aldridge stood on the edge of the pool table and said spitting, Saul in front of him was speechless, and the others were all playful, in the past twenty minutes or so, they had seen Aldridge's boasting skills.

Aldrich bragged even more excitedly about his awesomeness, but suddenly found that the friends in front of him had strange expressions, and Brady even grinned evilly.

Aldrich, who closed his mouth and showed a puzzled expression, had not yet come back to his senses, when someone suddenly jumped on his back behind him, strangled his neck, and heard a crisp female voice in his ears.

"My God, it's really you, Aldrich! Why would you still come to a place like this? Don't you live in a mansion and wear a suit now? ”

Aldrich felt two soft flesh on his back, which were still beautiful to the touch even though they were separated by clothes, and the arm around his neck was visibly smooth and soft, and there was a faint fragrance between his noses.

In an instant, Aldrich knew who the person on his back was, and he wrapped his backhand around his back and squeezed the man's plump buttocks hard.

There was an exclamation in his ears, and the person jumped off Aldrich's back, Aldrich turned around, and what caught his eye was a young girl wearing women's sports casual clothes, with hearty short ear-length hair, and delicate facial features combined into a pleasing and delicate face on the melon seed face.

"Aldrich! You've changed, rascal! ”

The girl puffed out her cheeks and glared at Aldrich, but there was no anger in her eyes, but a complicated gratification.

Aldridge took a step forward and raised his hand to grab the girl's full breasts, and he laughed exaggeratedly: "Evan, you have changed too!" You're right, I'm a rascal! ”

Evan Lowell exuded youthful energy, she would not let Aldrich succeed again, moved two steps to the side and grimaced at Aldrich, and said: "I heard that you held a party at home on your birthday, hum, you are so rich now, you must be able to play with supermodels easily, right?" ”

Aldrich was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically, "How do you know that there is a party at my birthday house?" ”

Yiwen was speechless for a moment, his expression was slightly flustered, and his eyes dodged: "Anyway, I am the Zhilu Dao." ”

"I'll go get the wine."

Evan hurriedly turned around and ran to the bar, Aldrich turned around, only to hear Brady laugh: "On your birthday, she went to your house with a cake she made, and your mother said that you haven't come back yet, and there are many guests at home, so she left the cake and left." ”

"Huh? My family kicked her away? ”

Aldridge wondered, he didn't think his family had become snobbish now, not to mention Brady, Fred, Evan, and other young people, who had been Hall's neighbors since childhood, and everyone lived in the same community, not only children, but also adults knew each other well.

Brady shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You misunderstood, your mother kept her behind, but you also know that that kind of upper-class party, people like us are not comfortable at all." Thankfully, you're not that kind of person yet. ”

Aldrich laughed bitterly a few times, and he didn't know how to answer, saying that he would always be a little boy on the street?

Evan came back with a beer, and there was no pretension in her disguised lady, and for the past ten years, she had been hanging out with the boys like a tomboy.

"Aldrich, come with me, I want revenge."

Aldrich smiled and turned around to pout his buttocks, and smiled back: "If you want revenge, come casually, please don't use your hands too hard." ”

"you!"

Evan flew up and kicked Aldrich in the ass, but Aldrich was quick to dodge
