"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells."
“What fun it is to ski tonight, we’re on the sled!”
The cheerful music sounds and Christmas is coming as scheduled.
In the last game before the holiday, Southampton faced Sheffield United at home.
Having just defeated the Gunners in the League Cup as a foundation, Southampton returned to the league and swept away the haze of the previous two league games.
With two goals from Belmadi and Dyer, the Saints defeated their opponents 2-0 at home.
When the team wins, the players naturally welcome the holiday with a relaxed attitude.
England is a bit different from other national leagues in that there is no winter break.
Other countries will have at least half a month of rest before and after Christmas, while the Premier League has its most intensive schedule around Christmas.
Because of the Heysel tragedy, English teams were unable to participate in European competitions for more than ten years.
Over the years, Premier League teams have used every winter to intensify training and compete fully.
In the end, Manchester United won the final victory in the Champions League in 1999, which was also inseparable from the players' hard training.
Compared with half a month in other countries, Southampton's three days off is really not enough.
Even so, it was a decision made by the team operations officials after the victory - if they did not win against Sheffield United, the holiday would only be two short days.
Wang Xiaodong's cockscomb hair was strongly resisted by his mother and the little witch after the game. In desperation, Wang Xiaodong had to shave off the remaining hair on his head, and then returned to Bath to see his mother.
In the mall, Tian Jing held Wang Xiaodong's hand and put wigs on his head.
"Son, this looks good, quite chic."
"Mom, this one looks like an old hat!"
"You can do this too. Look how energetic the young man is!"
"Mom, don't you think this looks like a hippie?"
"This is not bad. It looks like a movie star when you wear it! My daughter-in-law will definitely like it when she sees it!"
"Mom, I think I'm more like Mr. Bean."
“Boss, pack all these for me and I’ll buy them all!”
"Depend on!"
Growing up, Tian Jing was the first woman to know that her children would become quite "handsome" after being dressed up.
After realizing this, Tian Jing took care of Wang Xiaodong's clothes from the inside out, which indirectly led to Wang Xiaodong's preference for wearing loose football uniforms and his yearning for rebellious hairstyles.
But now, after hearing that Wang Xiaodong was going to London to spend Christmas Eve with Emma, Tian Jing immediately took Wang Xiaodong's arm and went to the largest shopping mall in Bath.
After some selection, I spent less than 10,000 yuan.
"Mom, I really can't wear so much, I really can't!"
Before leaving, Tian Jing kept stuffing clothes into Bi Mawen's trunk.
"Only one wig is enough. If there are more wigs, I won't wear them!"
"No!" Tian Jing pinched her waist and said earnestly, "Son, when you go out, you have to bring a change of clothes, right?"
"I don't need so much to change and wash!"
"How can that work? These are all fixed matches!" Tian Jing pointed to the clothes and pants that made Wang Xiaodong's head grow bigger. "You are so old, you have to learn to dress yourself when you go out. Do you still remember which outerwear to match this shirt? Pants?"
"Okay, okay, let me take it with you!" Wang Xiaodong quickly pushed all his clothes inside and closed the trunk.
"Have a nice trip then! Drive carefully on the road!"
"Well, I understand."
"Call me when you get to London. I can't sleep without receiving your call."
"Do not worry!"
Wang Xiaodong got into the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt.
"Oh, by the way, there's this, you should take it with you too."
Tian Jing suddenly remembered something, opened the car window, took out a small box from his pocket and stuffed it into Wang Xiaodong's pocket.
"What's this?"
Wang Xiaodong took it out curiously and saw a few clear letters printed on the small box: "durex".
"Mom, this is..." Wang Xiaodong's face suddenly turned red.
"There are 12 pieces in it. They are all ultra-thin. You can use them sparingly." Tian Jing looked like someone who had come before.
"I also have your father's leftover Indian magic medicine here. He specially went to India to find experts to prepare this medicine. It has a very long shelf life..."
"Mom, okay, you can keep it and use it with my dad. I'm still young, I..."
Wang Xiaodong quickly rolled up the car window, but Tian Jing took a step faster and threw it in through the gap in the window.
"It's better to keep it for emergencies!"
"Okay Mom, I wish you a Merry Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas!" Wang Xiaodong backed up the car and shouted loudly: "I'll come back to see you during the Spring Festival!"
"Hey! Mom is waiting for you to come back!"
When his mother's figure was no longer visible in the rearview mirror, Wang Xiaodong looked at the small hardcover glass bottle and threw it into his backpack.
"Humph, I don't have any use for this thing!"
...
In the early morning of the 24th, Wang Xiaodong and his friend Bi Mawen appeared in front of Big Ben.
I arrived in London last night, but the little witch couldn't escape at all.
Wang Xiaodong had no choice but to find a hotel to stay for one night. Anyway, the time they made an appointment was today.
"It's true that my mother picked out so many wigs but found the most uncomfortable one for me."
Wang Xiaodong looked in the rearview mirror, lifted his hood and scratched it several times.
"I'm really impressed that you dress so formally when you go out to play."
Although he looked "handsome", the two outfits Wang Xiaodong brought looked awkward.
Remembering that there should be a jersey in the package on the back seat, Wang Xiaodong turned around and reached for the package on the back seat.
At this moment, the passenger door was opened from the outside, and a fiery red figure got in.
"WOW! SOBeautiful!!!"
Looking at the little witch dressed in Christmas clothes, Wang Xiaodong remembered her mother's instructions and screamed exaggeratedly.
Hearing Wang Xiaodong's praise, the little witch also covered her mouth with a smile on her face.
"Aren't you cold if you wear so little?"
Wang Xiaodong curiously tugged at the little witch's exposed "skin" and discovered that it was actually a flesh-colored thermal underwear.
"Of course it's not cold anymore, I still think it's too hot!" The little witch fanned the air in front of her face. Wang Xiaodong's praise just now made her face turn red with heat.
"You are very cool too!" The little witch looked Wang Xiaodong up and down. She was very satisfied with his appearance today.
"To be honest, this hood is a bit uncomfortable to wear. I can't wait to..."
"No!!!"
The little witch screamed and rushed forward.
"Don't take it off!"
Seeing the little witch's wide eyes, Wang Xiaodong had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you!"
"This is more or less the same." The little witch threw herself into Wang Xiaodong's arms and carefully arranged his wig, "Is this okay?"
"Are you alone?" Wang Xiaodong looked out the window and asked casually.
"Who else do you want?" In an instant, the little witch's face became as fast as flipping through a book. She stretched out her hand and pinched the thin flesh of Wang Xiaodong's waist.
"Oh...my ancestor, please don't..." Wang Xiaodong quickly begged for mercy and explained, "Don't you usually pair up with Vivian? Why didn't you see her today?"
"My boyfriend and I are dating, why is she joining in the fun?" the little witch said with a rare hardening.
"She really won't come?"
"She really won't come!"
After receiving the little witch's reply, Wang Xiaodong nodded thoughtfully. Looking at the little witch in his arms, he lowered his head and sniffed.
"Girl, do you know? You are dressed like a strawberry today."
"Oh, really?" the little witch playfully tossed the Santa hat on her head, held her chin in both hands, and grinned happily.
"Not only do you look like a strawberry, you smell like one too."
"That should be the flavor of my lipstick." The little witch pursed her lips.
"COOL!! So it tastes like strawberries too?"
"Of course, do you want to try?"
The little witch blinked and nodded slightly.
The next second, Wang Xiaodong suddenly stretched his neck, forgot about the little witch's Christmas hat, and nibbled directly on the strawberry lipstick.
"Ouch~~~"
The little witch groaned and her body tensed up for a moment.
The next second, the little witch who had regained consciousness stretched out her two arms and hung tightly on Wang Xiaodong's neck, and her body slowly collapsed in Wang Xiaodong's arms.
"It sure tastes like strawberry."
Ten minutes later, Wang Xiaodong clicked his lips, looking like he still had something to say.
"Dong, let's drive." The little witch panted heavily, her eyes a little blurry, and she obviously hadn't recovered from the passionate kiss just now.
Dozens of minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Hyde Park.
Wang Xiaodong took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on the little witch affectionately, then put on another pair himself before getting out of the car.
Hyde Park is the most famous royal park in London. Before the 18th century, it was the king's deer hunting ground.
With the advent of the 21st century, Hyde Park has been transformed into a "Winter Wonderland".
"Vivian lives opposite that hotel. I sent her off last time when I came here!" Wang Xiaodong said after looking in the direction.
"Don't mention her!" The little witch squeezed her boyfriend's hand tightly, "Today it's just you and me, no third person!"
"All right."
WinterWonderland, simply put, is a combination of a large Christmas market and an amusement park. It can not only satisfy every girl's fantasy of a dream amusement park, but also satisfy the appetite of foodie teenagers. It is also an excellent place for couples to date.
The winter in London is not as warm as Southampton. The little witch wore earbags, snuggled up to Wang Xiaodong, and walked through various ice sculptures.
"Dong, wait for me, ah!"
On the ice, the little witch held on to the railing and took a trembling step forward.
But he failed to stand firm even at this step, and he sat down on his butt.
"Hahahaha~~~"
Wang Xiaodong spun around the little witch coolly, and finally stopped next to the little witch with a 360-degree glide: "Beautiful lady, do you need help?"
"Asshole!" The little witch puffed her cheeks angrily and pulled Wang Xiaodong's hand hard.
"Hey! Ah~~~"
"Huh? Are you trying to play tricks on me? You're still young!"
Sensing the pulling force on his arms, Wang Xiaodong retracted his arms and directly held the little witch in his arms.
"The winter in my hometown is even colder than this. When winter comes, I wear skates and play on the ice. I don't even know how many times I have done this trick!"
The little witch hit Wang Xiaodong on the chest hard. She also wanted to see Wang Xiaodong fall and look funny.
"I don't want to play this anymore, I want to play that!"
Looking at the ice truck not far away, Wang Xiaodong shrugged, "Okay, it's up to you."
After pushing the ice cart for several laps on the ice, the little witch finally walked off the ice with satisfaction.
Then came the pirate ship, the big carousel, the carousel...
When the Ferris wheel reached the highest point, the little witch hugged Wang Xiaodong's neck again and gave Wang Xiaodong a mouthful of strawberry-flavored lipstick.
After having lunch in Trafalgar Square, the two drove to the British Museum.
This is the most crazy "god-level paradise" in the world, which makes every visitor here unforgettable.
Thanks to the suggestions of other tourists, the two of them bought a cup of hot coffee and held it in their hands while visiting.
The space inside the museum is very large, and it is difficult to see everything without sufficient physical strength.
By the time we came out of the museum, it was already dark.
At the beginning of the lanterns, colorful lanterns lit up on both sides of the street, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
"Where to go next?" The little witch held Wang Xiaodong's arm and asked excitedly.
“Let’s go check out the West End.”
Taking the little witch, the two came to London's West End, where opera houses are everywhere.
After buying tickets, the two watched a classic musical - "The Phantom of the Opera".
"Wow, the heroine's fate is so tragic."
After the musical ended, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
The little witch wiped away her tears while stopping Wang Xiaodong from taking off the fake hood.
"Dong, I don't allow you to take it off!"
"But it's so prickly!" Wang Xiaodong scratched his head hard, but with a layer of wig behind him, he couldn't feel comfortable no matter how much he scratched.
After the two returned to the car, Wang Xiaodong took out a map and said, "Our next destination is..."
"Dong, it's so late, shouldn't we exchange gifts?"
