Chapter 642 The Dedication of Love (Part 3, Ask for Tickets)

After pressing the phone, Tang Zhaoer seemed to have lost her soul. She was bored in the room for a while, and her stomach rumbled to remind her that she hadn't had lunch yet, and she was not in the mood to cook now, so she walked to the school cafeteria.

Thinking of the voice she heard on the phone just now, Tang Zhaoer pinched her face, and still felt dizzy.Then what she thought of was, who is that Vivian, who is the Vivian that Li Rui is talking about?

Li Rui's wife is Jessica. Of course Tang Zhaoer knows it. She can hear it clearly. Vivienne's pronunciation is definitely different from Jessica's. Vivienne sounds like a girl's name...

Is it?

While she was still thinking wildly, passing by a newsstand on campus, Tang Zhaoer was attracted by the newspapers placed in the front row.

In England, there are many sports reports, especially football reports. There are so many newspapers, and she sees a familiar name on the front pages of many newspapers: Li Rui!
For some unknown reason, Tang Zhaoer stopped and picked up the newspaper on the top, which is the biggest-selling newspaper in the UK——"The Sun".

***********
The sports section was flipped to the top, apparently as a promotion to entice passing Cambridge students to buy.The boss knows what sport is most popular in the UK and what kind of sport is most popular among young people.

The front page is almost composed of several large photos, like a comic book, accompanied by text explanations, the protagonist is Li Rui:
In the first one, before the game started, Li Rui was waving to the home fans. You could see Li Rui's face was serious.The accompanying text is: Li, can you break the scoring shortage?

In the second picture, Li Rui was furious like a man "pushing a cow". You can see the appearance of gnashing his teeth, and a stretcher can be seen being carried off the field in the background.Tang Zhaoer didn't know that it was Cristiano Ronaldo who was injured and left the field, causing Li Rui to be outraged.Caption caption: At 39 minutes, the two sides almost fought.

In the third picture, Li Rui was yelling something to the referee, and the referee was holding a red card. It was Carrick who was sent off with a red card.Caption caption: At 71 minutes, the game ended early and Carrick was sent off.

In the fourth picture, Li Rui walked towards the sidelines with his jersey on his shoulders. You can see the grim expression on his face.Title picture text description: Li Rui continued to score shortage, Manchester United was flat.

***********
Then, under these photos, there is a small comment. From this comment in The Sun, it seems that Li Rui's career has fallen into the biggest trough, as if he is in big trouble. Nine out of ten sentences Words are meant to be critical.

This surprised Tang Zhaoer. She knew that Li Rui performed so well in the European Cup. At that time, the newspapers praised Li Rui as the world's number one striker. Why now it sounds like Li Rui may retire at any time.

Of course she doesn't know, this is a common method used by the media, how can it attract attention without making things serious like the sky is falling?Moreover, she didn't know that there was actually an old grievance between the "Sun Newspaper" she was holding and Li Rui. When Li Rui was in a downturn, of course she had to make some sarcasm.

***********
After buying all these newspapers, she simply bought a hamburger and carbonated drinks. Tang Zhaoer returned home and began to read these newspapers carefully. She didn't notice that she still cared about someone involuntarily.

The newspaper reports are simply wonderful. For example, the "Daily Telegraph" even said that Ferguson had lost patience with Li Rui, and that Manchester United regretted not agreeing to Real Madrid's sky-high offer in the summer. In the market, at the latest next summer, Li Rui will be in the arms of the Madrid giants.

Seeing this, Tang Zhaoer took a bite of the hamburger. She seemed to think it was real. No wonder Li Rui wanted to find a Spanish teacher...

***********
When Li Rui heard that the other end of the phone had hung up, he was a little puzzled. The Mandarin spoken on the other end of the phone just now, he was even in a trance for a while, feeling so familiar, and thought of a long-lost shadow, but Li Rui was not sure. , he knew that girl, what a stubborn girl she was, even though they never took the initiative to communicate on the phone when they were still in love with each other, which eventually led to the end of the relationship, so he shook his head, this I must have heard it wrong, it couldn't be Tang Zhaoer calling.

Li Rui concluded that, but he didn't continue to make that call, and even he himself didn't know what he seemed to be subconsciously avoiding.

After the training, in the lounge of the Carrington Training Base, Li Rui took a stack of newspapers and read them slowly.

Let's take a look at the media's description of Li Rui:
After helping Manchester United win the Champions League, the media called Li Rui 'one of the best strikers in the world'!
After becoming the Golden Boot of the European Cup and creating a new record of 11 goals in a single European Cup, helping England win the Delaunay Cup for the first time, Li Rui was almost a myth, and the media called him "the world" 'Best striker' on , removed that 'one of'.

From the pre-season commercial games and warm-up matches, Li Rui's performance was ups and downs, and his condition was average. However, after the start of the new season, Li Rui fell into a scoring drought, and the media's evaluation of him once again became "the best in the world." One of the strikers', uh, 'one of the' is back again.

***********
Almost all of these newspapers criticized Li Rui's performance in the match against Villarreal, accusations, sarcasm, hypocritical regrets, sarcasm in spring and autumn, whatever you say, it really echoes the old saying "Laughing and cursing are all articles."

"What a bunch of villains." Li Rui threw the newspaper aside and looked out the window. This is the third floor, and you can see some young players from the youth team training on the training ground. It feels very rainy. Oops.

"Damn it, when I won the Champions League and the European Cup, I was the best striker in the world and the savior of England. Now, there are only three or five games without scoring, and all the nasty words come out. It's really wonderful. "

Although Li Rui has learned about the attitude of the media for a long time, no one will feel calm after seeing these criticisms.

***********
Angry, Li Rui drank the juice in one gulp, got up and took the newspaper back and wanted to put it back. A newspaper fell on the ground. He picked it up and saw that Chelsea striker Anelka was being interviewed on it. The French striker laughed happily. Then, there is a scorer list next to it. This is the scorer list of the same period last season. At that time, Li Rui was at the top, and Anelka didn't even make the top three!
Anelka is in good form now. Four rounds of the league have passed and he has scored 5 goals. According to this momentum, there is indeed a great hope of competing for the league golden boot.

Whether it's Anelka's overjoyed smile or last year's scorer list, it doesn't matter, but I have to admire the art of the media. Putting these two things together is interesting. The key is that Li Rui now sees This will be very uncomfortable. The media here are taunting him, and Anelka is happy. Yes, Li Rui and Anelka do not have any hatred or old grudges, but now there is— — He was aroused to a stronger fighting spirit.This is the pride of the shooter!

For Sunday's away game at Stamford Bridge, Li Rui is looking forward to it. He wants to score goals and kill Chelsea. See Anelka's mournful face:

Laugh, why not laugh!
Of course, Li Rui doesn't know how innocent Brother Anelka is.

***********
Jessica returned home to Manchester from the US before Manchester United's trip to London.

At dinner that day, Jessica told Li Rui what she had been thinking about in the United States for more than a month.

"Honey, I may have to go back to America in a few days."

Li Rui was chewing on the salad, and looked at his wife in surprise, "Huh? Why did you come back just now?" Jessica came back from the United States and didn't bring Little Jack with her. Li Rui just wanted to ask the reason, so he Hearing what Jessica said, he stopped the fork, then looked at Jessica on the opposite side, and motioned for her to continue talking.

***********
"Since I was very young, I have dreamed of being a movie star one day, and I did, but most of all, I thank God that I have a husband who loves me, dear, thank you. And now Our little Jack, I love him too. With your love, I am very happy. However, I also feel that life is a bit different from what I imagined. Joy, dear, I am eager to stand on the podium of the Oscar, I think, this is my ideal, just like your ideal is to stand on the podium of the World Footballer, you have won so many championships Trophies and Golden Boots, but I haven't done anything yet. So I thought - keep working."

After Jessica finished speaking, she remained silent, looked at Li Rui, and waited for Li Rui to speak.She had been thinking for a long time about the idea of ​​ending her retirement and going back to work. This time, she came back from the United States because she wanted to have a good talk with Li Rui and get Li Rui's consent.

***********
Li Rui looked at the beautiful face on the opposite side. This was his wife, which made him very proud and happy.

Jessica didn't say anything, Li Rui didn't realize it yet, yes, Jessica sacrificed a lot for this family and for herself.When the two were in love, Jessica was much more famous than Li Rui. At that time, when people mentioned Li Rui, they always said, 'Look, this is the guy who is rumored to have an affair with Jessica. '

It is not easy for the two to get together, which is very precious in the materialistic showbiz.Especially after entering the palace of marriage and having children, Jessica even interrupted her rising career at the time and announced her retirement. Hollywood actresses became housewives with children at home. This is seen by many people Come on, it's really impossible.

Especially Jessica's girlfriends in Hollywood felt a little incredible about the sacrifice Jessica made, and they talked about it when they were joking.At that time, Li Rui didn't feel anything. He didn't think that this was a kind of sacrifice. He took it for granted.

***********
Now, after hearing Jessica say these words, Li Rui realized that he was really selfish. Jessica gave up her career in the past two or three years just to let herself concentrate on playing football, and she really paid too much.Now, his own career has entered a very brilliant stage. Even the current scoring shortage is only temporarily annoying Li Rui. Of course, he has no doubts about his career.

Jessica, however, lost perhaps the most important two or three years of her career.

Now, it's time for a self-sacrifice, maybe not even a sacrifice, but a mutual loving offering, which seems more appropriate, even if it sounds a little gross.

***********
Li Rui took a big sip of milk, looked at Jessica with a smile, and said, "Honey, I'm really sorry."

Jessica thought that Li Rui disagreed, and before she could speak, she heard Li Rui continue to say, "I'm sorry because, I'm so stupid, I didn't realize that you have made so many sacrifices in the past few years. , but I think it should be. Now, it's time for me to do something, Oscar is your ideal, I can understand. Really understand, although I love you, but I can't hold you back. I I agree with your decision."

Jessica was touched. These are not love words, but they are more touching than any love words. "Thank you, I know this may be selfish..."

"No, there is no selfishness." Li Rui looked into Jessica's eyes, "This is a dedication of love. We love each other, so there is sacrifice."

"During the time I'm in the United States, I will try my best to come back to accompany you. You have to take care of yourself—and Jack, mom will take good care of you."

***********
Little Jack is indeed the biggest problem of the two people's "separation in two places". Li Rui has to compete every three days, so naturally he can't take good care of the child. If Jessica receives a play appointment, she will be very busy.Putting the child with Jessica's parents seemed to be the only option.However, this also has a problem, that is, it is not easy for Li Rui to see his son.

Li Rui thought for a while, then said with a smile: "We all try to spend more time with each other and our children. You have your ideals, and of course I should support them. Well, I remember that David and Victoria seem to have bought a private helicopter , we can also consider buying one, it will be much more convenient." When Beckham was in Real Madrid, Victoria spent 960 million pounds to buy a Gulf private helicopter for the convenience of visiting Beckham. Between Madrid.

Jessica didn't expect not only to have Li Rui's support, but Li Rui would also consider it so carefully. She wiped her eyes with her hands and tried to smile, "Thank you, dear."
