Chapter 31: Men shouldn’t let women go home alone

Regarding the refusal of the royal family to award medals, it will definitely continue to hype in the media. But Tang En didn’t have time to pay attention to it. The most intensive schedule has begun. If he and the players still want to have a happy Christmas holiday, then they can’t lose too much during this period...

Since taking office, Don En has grasped the most defense and physical fitness. McCallister ignored his physical fitness in summer preparations and has been obsessed with his rich and diverse offensive routine exercises. In order not to collapse completely in the second half of the league, Don En could only help him make up for the homework he did not do. This is also the reason why Don En insists on using the simplest way of playing to play - he really doesn't have the time and energy to make up for those fancy things that please the audience.

Since Sophia's death, Don Ever has been concerned about Wood's mental state. Judging from the past few weeks, Wood has not been devastated by the death of his mother, and he has never mentioned "retired".

Maybe it was because of the song of Shania that worked... Tang En thought so.

But during training, Wood was harder, more serious and more desperate than before. He was acting in this way to try to forget the pain of losing his mother, and Tang En was powerless to do anything about it. Time is the best medicine to treat trauma. I believe that as time goes by, he will eventually get out of that emotion... Of course, this is also indispensable for help from outsiders.

"Hey, George." During the training interval, Donn called Wood over.

Wood thought Don Eun was going to tell him some arrangements for the game the day after tomorrow, but he didn't expect that he invited him to go to his house for dinner in the evening. "Call Xianya to cook for you... What's your expression? Her craftsmanship has been developed now... OK, OK, I'll cook myself. Actually, Teresa misses her brother Wood. Do you have the heart to make a beautiful and cute girl sad?"

Wood hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Tang En looked at Wood's back as he left and shook his head gently. This was the only thing he could do for Wood. Tang En felt uncomfortable when he thought of locking himself in that dark, cold and lifeless home after the training. It seemed that it was not Wood's home, but a gloomy and dilapidated ghost castle filled with ghost legends.

If Wood hadn't agreed, he would even plan to take Wood to his home and just live with him. After all, he is still a little "popular" in his home.

"Okay, guys. Today's training ends here. I'll remind you again that the busiest days from the day after tomorrow will start. If you don't want to spend Christmas in the English Championship next season, then try my best. The first goal..." Tang En raised his right index finger. "It's time to get rid of the relegation zone first and always wander outside the relegation zone, which puts a lot of psychological pressure on me. So far, let's disband."

The players left the training ground one after another. Done called Wood.

"Don't you go with me?"

Wood pointed to his sweaty training suit: "I want to go home to change my clothes and take a shower."

Don Eun looked at him: "George, you really don't think about my suggestions anymore? Let's move in and live with us."

Wood shook his head: "No. That's my home."

Tang En sighed helplessly: "Okay, it's up to you, we'll wait for you at home. Also, no matter when, you can come."

"Thank you." Wood did not turn around and leave. Instead, he said thank you, which surprised Don Eun. He thought that with his friendship with Wood and Wood's awkward temper, he could not hear the "Thank you".

It seems...it's a little mature.

Tang En smacked his chin and smacked his lips.

Teresa was very excited to know that Brother Wood was coming, and after hearing the news, she sat in the living room and waited. Tang Enze and Shania were busy in the kitchen. She was preparing a sumptuous dinner.

But after they prepared all the dishes, Wood hadn't arrived yet.

"Just take a shower and change your clothes, it won't take so long..." Tang En looked at his watch. It was already 8:30 in the evening, and the team's training ended before seven o'clock.

"Does George have a car?" asked Shania.

"No. "

"He won't come over, right?"

Tang En was startled by his wife's thought: "Come from Vilford? Stop kidding, dear. He is not a fool."

"That's what trouble you're in..." Shania murmured with her chin with one hand, looking up at the ceiling.

"What trouble can he encounter? It would be nice if he doesn't cause trouble for others..." Tang En muttered. But he was unsure. Did Wood go home and see his mother's photo, and suddenly he didn't want to come, so he decided to spend time with his mother at home? This is very likely... But he should also call himself to explain.

Just as the two of them were thinking about it, the doorbell outside rang.

"Brother Wood!" Teresa shouted and jumped off the sofa. She went to open the door, and Tang En and Shania looked at each other, and it seemed that their guests were coming.

"Brother Wood..." Teresa looked at the two people at the door with a puzzled expression on tiptoe.

"Hello, Teresa." George Wood, wearing a suit, greeted Teresa standing at the door and looking up at him and the person behind him.

"Hello, Teresa." The man behind him also waved to Teresa.

Tang En, who was still wearing an apron, walked out of the house and was also surprised when he saw Wood standing outside the yard and behind him.

"Hello. Mr. Tang En. Ms. Tang En." Vivian walked around Wood and waved his hand to greet Tang En and his wife.

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of Tang En and Shania. Wood pointed to Vivian standing next to him and said, "I didn't let her come, she insisted on following her."

"I originally wanted to go and have dinner with George, but he said you would invite him, so I followed him, hoping that I would not disturb you." Vivian said to the two masters politely.

After seeing the performance of these two people, Tang En understood everything. So he immediately changed his expression on his face - he smiled and greeted both of them: "How could it disturb us? We were too happy... You know, George never brought friends to our house. Especially..." He glanced at Wood, "Female friend."

Shania also understood what happened to her and quickly expressed her welcome. She patted Teresa on the head: "Treesa, lead the way for Brother Wood and Sister Vivian."

Teresa looked back and forth at the two people, and took them into the house.

Tang En and Shania intentionally left behind.

"It was the nurse lady who took care of Sophia in the hospital until she died." Tang En told Shania, "You should have seen her at the funeral."

"Well, she was still standing behind Wood at that time... When were they together?" Shania also asked in a low voice.

Tang En grinned. He laughed silently: "It seems that our wood has met a difficult character!"

"I think this is pretty good. The best way to forget a painful period is to start a new love again." Shania took Tang En's arm and leaned her head against his shoulder. "Sister Sophia will definitely be very happy, too."

During dinner, the topic focused on Vivian, as if she was the one invited by the Don't, and Wood was just a foil.

Shania kept talking to Vivian, asking about her work, her current situation, and indirectly asked her when she and Wood had developed to have dinner together...

Wood sat there, like a piece of wood.

Vivian seemed very natural and generous. She was not nervous at all when facing a legendary coach who had just caused a big debate in the UK and a Hollywood movie star and supermodel. She was a bit like she did when she stopped Wood in the hospital.

Tang En didn't talk to Vivian like his wife, but just occasionally said a few words. Other times he was observing Wood and Vivian. He noticed that Vivian always glanced at Wood intentionally or unintentionally, while Wood focused on eating his own without looking sideways.

It's really fun.

"As George's friend, he must have a headache for you, right?" Tang En asked. He knew it was very difficult to get along with George. It turned out that he thought that only himself and Shania could live in peace with Wood. Because outsiders didn't know how he would offend Wood. He had a body as strong as a cow, but a heart as slender as a woman.

Speaking of this, Vivian felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at Wood indifferently beside her and smiled, "In fact... I gave George a headache..."

Tang En and Shania were both shocked. Oh my God! There is actually someone in this world who can give Wood a headache?

Looking at the surprised gazes of the two owners, Vivian further explained: "I can feel that sometimes George is very angry with me, but he doesn't scold me, and doesn't drive me away or anything... But I think he must have a headache."

At this time, I didn't say anything next to me, and Wood also spoke like a wooden carving: "She was right, I had a headache."

Tang En laughed, and then Shania laughed with her husband.

Teresa looked at her parents curiously. Although she didn't understand what was going on, her parents laughed, so she would laugh too...

The only ones on the dining table, Wood and Vivian wondered why Yu Tangen's family suddenly laughed.

Don En finally stopped laughing, then looked at Wood and said, "George, George. I'm so happy. Finally someone can control you again. Haha!"

Vivian didn't understand why she made Wood feel angry and would not be scolded. But Tang En knew very well. Because Vivian was the only person who accompanied Wood's mother through the last journey of her life, the young female nurse was always with her bed for the last two days when Sophia was unconscious. In Wood's opinion, this was a great kindness. Of course, he would not swear to the benefactor who accompanied her mother and sent her for the last journey.

But Wood must not like Vivian to control himself, so he had no choice but to have a headache.

Shania also understood the truth, so she was laughing. The people who could make Wood lose their grief could count them in this world with only two fingers, and they happened to be on the dining table today. She turned her head to look at her husband and found that he was looking at the two people opposite him with a playful look.

What did he see?

Is George's future?

Vivian was a little embarrassed by Tang En's words. And Wood was even more embarrassed.

After dinner, Wood offered to say goodbye. He didn't want others to use it as a joke. But Tang En didn't want to let him go.

"In more than two weeks, it will be Christmas, George. Come to our house at that time. Shania is going to work again. You can't bear to spend a Christmas in a deserted manner, right?" Tang En really makes excuses. As soon as he moved out the cute Teresa as his killer move, and then looked at Teresa's clear, bright and full of expectation, Wood refused and swallowed it.

He nodded.

"Do you want to live with your parents, Miss Vivian?" Tang En turned to ask Vivian again.

"No... they have booked a plane ticket to Barcelona long ago. They took advantage of Christmas to go on vacation. This is the plan they have decided since the beginning of the year." Vivian shook his head.

"and you……"

"And I have to work overtime, so I can only stay in Nottingham." Vivian gave Tang En a smile.

"Then..." Done turned to Wood and looked at him and said, "Don't forget to bring Miss Vivian with you, George."

Wood looked up at Donn with a smile on his face.

Vivian also looked at Tang En in surprise, but soon she turned her gaze to Wood, as if waiting for his answer.

Vivian was not the only one waiting for his answer. Tang En and Shania were both looking at Wood, waiting for him to answer.

Wood hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Tang En smiled. Shania smiled, and Vivian lowered her head and smiled.

"Okay, then today ends here." The Tang family sent Wood and Vivian out of the yard. Then Tang said to Wood: "Take Miss Vivian home first, and you go back."

Wood looked at him.

"Men, we should not let the lady go home alone." Tang En put his hand on his shoulder and pinched it hard.

"If you're worried that you're going to get home too late, I can allow you to be fifteen minutes late for training tomorrow morning."

During the training session the next day, Wood was not late. He was still the first person in the team to come to the training base. The first person to change the training suit and the first person to appear on the training ground.

Two days later, in the first game of the Christmas Devil schedule, Wood led the team to defeat the visiting Wolves. Then, news came from Paris, France that George Wood won the European Golden Globe Award for his outstanding performance in this year's national team competition. On the same day, Wood also won the World Football Best Player Award selected by the British World Football Magazine. In addition, the Lawrence Sports Awards of the Year's Best Male Athlete Award is still waiting for him.

More than a week later, five days before Christmas, Wood and Donn flew to Vienna, the capital of Austria. In the golden hall, Wood took over the World Footballer's trophy from FIFA President Villa.
