From the moment he saw Melanie, Walcott felt his legs were weak and could no longer walk.
He wanted to be a proud avenger, pour the wine in the glass on Wang Xiaodong's face, and then walk away.
But now, under Wang Xiaodong's persuasion, he poured glass after glass of wine into his stomach.
"Little kitten, tell me today what exactly you are dissatisfied with me about."
"Dong, who is the waiter who just pushed the cake in?"
"What do you have against me? As a defensive midfielder, the first thing I look for when I get the ball is you!"
"Dong, do you have her phone number?"
"If you are dissatisfied with me, just say it. Although I may not change it, you won't transfer, right?"
"Dong, how did you find this place?"
"Okay, okay, just transfer. With your ability, you can get ahead wherever you go."
"Dong, what's your relationship? Why did I just see her ogling you?"
From afternoon to evening, Wang Xiaodong and Walcott chatted endlessly.
Even so, the two's butts seemed to be glued to the stool and never lifted up.
The teammates who came to accompany the guests were all so drunk that their heads were heavy and their eyes were blurry. Before losing the last bit of their sanity, they hurriedly left.
Whenever this happens, Melanie will come in with a knife, cut the cake into equal parts, and package them for the team members.
This is not a wedding banquet, and no one is celebrating a birthday.
Buying such a five-layer cake is completely extravagant and wasteful, not to mention that all the people who came to the banquet were a group of big men.
Wang Xiaodong just used this to express his feelings, he didn't bother to think about what Walcott really liked!
Under Melanie's precise knife skills, the cakes were neatly cut off piece by piece, packed and handed over to the team members.
"Little kitten, let me tell you, you are too petty!" Wang Xiaodong raised his glass, "Isn't it just that my performance on the court is a little better than yours? Didn't you also score so many goals in the league?"
"Dong, look, she's going to eat it secretly again!" The little tiger also raised his wine glass and clinked it with Wang Xiaodong, "Look, look! Oh~~ It's so cute, tsk tsk tsk, it's so cute So sweet!”
Although Melanie cut the cake neatly, she would only approach the cake when a team member was leaving.
Whenever this happened, she would take the opportunity to cut off a small piece and stuff it into her mouth without anyone noticing. It looks like a little hamster eating secretly, which is really cute.
"Oh! Sure enough, the more expensive the cake, the more delicious it is!"
Melanie sucked the cream on her fingers, with a satisfied look on her face.
As a college student who can get A's in every subject, work-study is almost routine for Melanie.
Every day she would come to the store to work at noon and leave before evening.
But seeing such a big piece of cake today, Melanie couldn't walk immediately.
In the end, only Wang Xiaodong's private room was left in the entire restaurant. Melanie also agreed with the manager that she would be the last to leave and help close the store.
From noon to now, Melanie has only eaten the few pieces of cake she secretly cut.
Because of this, my stomach was already growling with hunger.
"Well, our store is closing soon. When will the guests finish their meals?" Melanie shouted to the private room.
"Oh, soon, soon!" Wang Xiaodong replied quickly.
"Why can't you stay a little longer?" Walcott screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Kitty cat, you saw it too. Everyone has gone off work, and we are the only ones left in the store now. If you want to drink, how about we find a bar to drink?"
"No, I won't go there except here!"
The little tiger's eyes were almost glued to Melanie's body.
"Dong, please talk to her quickly." Little Tiger said anxiously, "If you can convince her to agree to us staying for another hour, then I can consider forgiving you."
"Okay, let me try."
Wang Xiaodong stood up and walked out of the private room.
"Dong, are you finished eating?" Seeing Wang Xiaodong coming out, Melanie hurriedly greeted him.
Wang Xiaodong has long become a hero of Southampton, and now his peripheral products are everywhere in the streets.
Even among fans who don't watch football, many people know Wang Xiaodong's oriental face.
"Melanie, you haven't had dinner yet, right?" Wang Xiaodong said, rubbing the back of his head.
He thought that since Walcott wanted to stay a little longer, he might as well order a meal here and treat Melanie to it.
In this way, you can always sit for a while.
"Yes, the chef is off work." Melanie pointed at the clock on the wall as a reminder.
"How about I treat you to dinner?"
Since you, the cook, are off work, I can always order takeout for you!
"What do you want me to eat? Cake?" Melanie glanced at the cake not far away. Only the bottom layer of the five-layer cake was left.
"If you don't mind, please feel free to do so." Wang Xiaodong made a gesture of invitation, and he was very familiar with the matter of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.
"Ha, really? Thank you Dong!" Melanie rushed forward in excitement and pecked Wang Xiaodong on the cheek, "This is the best tip I got before Christmas!"
After returning to his seat, the little tiger, panting like a bull, grabbed Wang Xiaodong's collar. ,
"Fake Squid, Dong, what did you just say? Why did that beautiful lady do that to you?"
"What kind?" Wang Xiaodong wiped the saliva from his face with a look of disgust.
"Fake Squid, Dong! Fake! Fake!!!"
For some reason, the little tiger suddenly became impatient.
"Why is it always like this? Why? Why is it always like this???"
The little tiger suddenly arranged the wine glasses on the table, furious.
"You are obviously not British, you are just a foreign Asian!"
"In terms of ability, you have only been playing football for a few years? Why can you be selected for the first team all of a sudden?"
"Why do you score so easily? You can score with just a kick? But I have to pass several people before I can score."
"And I have scored more goals than you so far, so why are the media and reporters paying attention to you?"
"Even the coach is partial, why do you always ask us to give in to you?"
"It's the same now. Why do you and I stay so late, but that beautiful lady favors you so much that she doesn't even look at me?"
"Why!!!"
At the end of the sentence, the little tiger almost roared.
Wang Xiaodong scratched his newly shaved bald head and replied awkwardly: "Maybe it's because I'm more handsome than you!"
"Walter???"
The little tiger looked shocked.
He thought about countless possibilities, but he just didn't think of this one.
Looking at Wang Xiaodong's shiny head, the little tiger fell into deep self-doubt for a moment.
"Oh, you said you are the same. Can't you just play your own ball? You have to compare this with that!" Wang Xiaodong pressed Walcott back on the seat and said in a deep voice: "You are a winger. , I am a defensive midfielder, our positions are incompatible, but we can still cooperate, how good is it?"
"Why do you always look down on me? Why do you have to compete with me?"
"There is no comparison between us in terms of positions!"
Wang Xiaodong curled his lips. At this moment, he even felt that he knew football better than Walcott.
"As for what you said about Melanie kissing me just now, it was because she heard that you agreed to share the cake with her. She was so happy for a moment, and I happened to be standing in front of her, so it became an outlet for her emotions. "
"If you were standing in front of her, you would be the one being kissed, would you believe it?"
"Really?" Little Tiger looked suspicious when he heard this.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, go try it!"
Wang Xiaodong made a "please" gesture.
Hearing this, Walcott took a deep breath, stood up, and patted his cheek to make himself more awake.
"Then I'll go."
"go Go."
The little tiger walked up to Melanie, bent down and said something.
Melanie, who was eating cake, straightened up, smiled politely at Walcott, and then shook her head.
Then, the little tiger came back with a frustrated look on his face and fell down on the chair.
"Fake Squid, Dong, you lied!"
"What did I lie to you about?" Wang Xiaodong also looked confused, "What did you just say to Melanie?"
"I asked for her phone number, but she didn't tell me." Xiaohu said frustrated.
"Oh, it turns out to be a phone number! If you didn't tell me earlier, I have it!"
"What? Do you have her phone number?" Little Tiger immediately became energetic upon hearing this.
"Of course!" As he said this, Wang Xiaodong took out a note from his pocket, "Here, this is her phone number. If you call this number to order food here, you can get a 10% discount."
"Oh my God, I really didn't expect..." Walcott held the small piece of paper with shock on his face.
"So, sometimes it's not that you failed, but that you didn't use the right method." Wang Xiaodong said meaningfully.
"Okay, Dong, you are right." Walcott carefully stuffed the note into his pocket, "Dong, did you give this to me?"
"If you like it, just take it. Anyway, I won't miss the 10% discount."
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey." Little Tiger raised his hand and drank a drink with Wang Xiaodong.
The two of them exchanged cups and drank happily.
Melanie over there was still cutting into small pieces cautiously at first. Later, when she saw that Wang Xiaodong and Walcott had no intention of stopping them, she picked up the fork and cut into her own pieces piece by piece. Gag in mouth.
"Oh, my God, how elegant she is when she eats the cake!" Walcott said with a look of fascination.
"It's almost like the pigs in my hometown competing for food." Wang Xiaodong frowned.
"Dong, you are always so rude!" Walcott shook his head, "Why can't you discover her beauty?"
"I'm so rude! Also, what's so beautiful about that? I can eat like this without you. Are you happy to see it?"
"roll!"
Walcott never left Melanie, and Wang Xiaodong clinked glasses with him and chatted with him every word.
That's how men are.
No matter how much conflict the two people had before and how deep their resentment was.
As long as you sit together, drink some wine, and talk about women, your relationship will naturally get better.
"Kitten, do you really want to leave?"
"Yes, the contracts on both sides have been signed. As soon as the transfer window opens, I will go for a physical examination." Xiaohu said dullly.
"Oh, forget it." Wang Xiaodong nodded, "No one will protect you when you get there, so you have to rely on yourself. In the game we played against them a few days ago, there were still several guys with good skills. of."
"Of course!" Walcott nodded, "And don't forget, that's only Arsenal's semi-main lineup. Henry didn't even play, so our win was in vain."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! One day, I will let Henry know how powerful I am!"
"Haha, Dong, it's you after all." Walcott smiled and punched Wang Xiaodong on the shoulder, "In your eyes, is there really nothing that can scare you?"
"Of course!" Wang Xiaodong showed off his biceps confidently.
"Winter, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers on the football field. If you continue like this, sooner or later you will be taught a lesson." Walcott suddenly said seriously, "Henry, Van Persie, Drogba, Rooney...these are all the top players in the Premier League. Strikers. Only when you actually play against them will you know how scary they are."
"Ha, when you say that, I'm looking forward to it more and more!"
"You, you, it really is you!" Walcott shook his head and poured another glass for Wang Xiaodong.
"Dong, look, her PG is so round!"
"Yeah, my skin is pretty fair..."
"By the way, Dong, I heard that you are dating Emma, right? It was because of her that you sent Senderos to the hospital last time?" Little Tiger filled Wang Xiaodong's glass again and asked casually.
Wang Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, we are dating."
"Dong, what will happen if I reveal this to the media?" Walcott's hand suddenly hung in the air, and the wine in the bottle gradually filled the glass.
Soon the beer was spilling out.
Wang Xiaodong smiled slightly, picked up the cup and took a sip of the foam at the mouth of the cup.
"If you want to say it, then go ahead and say it."
"Oh? Really?"
"Yes, I have been mentally prepared for this for a long time." Wang Xiaodong nodded and continued: "The reason why I invite you to this meal is what Emma told me."
"She said: 'How Theo feels now is how we felt when our relationship was revealed to the media without permission'."
"When she said this, I completely understood how you have been feeling these past few days."
Wang Xiaodong drank the wine in one gulp, "That's why I came here now just to say I'm sorry. Please forgive me for putting you in such an unkind and unjust situation because of my quick words."
"If you feel comfortable telling the press about my relationship with Emma, I won't complain."
After saying that, Wang Xiaodong put the wine glass on the table and put on an expression that said, "I want to kill or behead him."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Dong...you, you, you..."
The little tiger didn't answer, but poured himself a glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Dong, people like you will suffer big losses sooner or later!"
"Oh, really?" Wang Xiaodong laughed, "There is an old saying in our hometown, 'Suffering a loss is a blessing'. I still don't know what this 'blessing' is like, so I might as well gain more experience while I'm young, you say Woolen cloth?"
"This is an old saying full of philosophy."
"That's right!"
"Melanie is so fierce, I'm afraid I can't even hold it in one hand!"
"I should be able to."
"roll!"
...
When all the wine bottles were emptied by the two of them, only half of Melanie's cake was left.
Seeing that less than a fifth of the cake was left in front of her, Melanie couldn't help but burp.
She had a great time today!
"Okay, it's already getting so late. Let's pack up and go back. We have training tomorrow!"
"okay."
Seeing Wang Xiaodong and Walcott stand up, Melanie quickly wiped the corners of her mouth and packed up the rest of the cake.
"Dong, do you want to pack your bags and go home?"
Wang Xiaodong and Walcott looked at each other, "If you want to eat them, you can keep them for yourself. By the way, these cakes are given to you by Mr. Theo."
"I know you, you are the player who is going to move to Arsenal, right?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Walcott's face instantly turned into embarrassment.
"That's right, I'm leaving next month." Walcott was also willing to go all out. Everyone knew it anyway, so it would be better to break the pot.
"Oh? Then I wish you a bright future and play better and better over there!"
Melanie smiled slightly and stretched out her hand to Walcott.
At this moment, the little tiger suddenly felt that spring seemed to have come early.
In the past few days, countless fans have torn up his posters in front of Little Tiger, and even put his photos together with Judas.
But now, looking at the smile in front of him, the little tiger felt that everything was worth it.
People who understand will naturally understand you. People who don't understand you will not look at you even if you tell the truth.
It was from this moment that Melanie's shadow had been imprinted in the little tiger's mind and could not be dissipated.
"Thank...thank you!" Little Tiger stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Melanie.
"Then I'll leave first, Theo, and you can take her home."
Before Melanie could refuse, Wang Xiaodong winked at the little tiger and walked out of the restaurant first.
Looking at Wang Xiaodong's back, Walcott felt for the first time that Wang Xiaodong also had a cute side.
"Miss Melanie, if that's the case, then I'll take you home." Walcott, who was "entrusted by someone", borrowed the donkey from the slope and said to Melanie shamelessly.
"OK..."
Before the little tiger could fly with joy, Melanie changed the subject, "In that case, please ask Mr. Theo to settle the bill first!"
Walcott: "???"
