[football] walk side by side

Cristiano hung up the phone.

Is it a prank?Or did something unexpected happen?

He held the phone, paused for about ten seconds, and then dialed the number again, but this time the prompt on the other end of the phone was still not in the service area.

this is nothing.He told himself that maybe it was just that the signal was not very good where Cyril was, or that he had made another mischievous joke, and he was watching his reaction with a smirk at the moment... But when the stern female voice echoed mechanically again When he heard it, Cristiano panicked for no reason.

There was an ominous premonition that burst out from the bottom of my heart uncontrollably.

The end of the UEFA Champions League also means that Manchester United's training this season has come to an end. Cristiano, who still has a short vacation before the start of the national team training, is in no mood at this moment. Reason tells him that nothing will happen, but his thoughts are Diverge involuntarily, thinking in a bad direction.

This dreary feeling lasted until he fell into a deep sleep, until he first woke up at the dawn of the next day, and the uneasiness could not dissipate from the bottom of his heart.

Cyril's phone was always disconnected, which made him a little upset. Even though he later remembered that he could call Jorge and ask Jorge, he only got a reply of "The number you dialed is currently on the line." .

……what happened?

The more he thought about it, the more irritable he felt, he simply threw the phone on the coffee table, and turned on the TV in front of the sofa by himself, trying to divert his attention from his random thoughts with appropriate entertainment.

When the TV was turned on, the news channel appeared.He glanced at the TV in a hurry, and was about to change the channel, but when he poked his head out to find the remote control on the sofa, there was a voice broadcasting some news on the TV:

"At 7.9:[-] last night, a [-]-magnitude earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, China, located in Asia..."

The host behind read something else, but Cristiano couldn't hear a word.At this moment, his brain has been filled with a few words——

At nine o'clock last night, China had a magnitude 7.9 earthquake.

——It was exactly the same time as when Cyril hung up the phone inexplicably.

Christian Norton paused for a moment.

After a while, he finally got up the courage and tried to dial the number he was so familiar with. He seemed to be calm enough, but if someone stood here at this moment, he would find that when his fingertips When I touched the phone, I even pressed the wrong number several times because of trembling.

I don't know how many times I pressed a string of simple numbers before it was finally successfully dialed out.

The calling time was less than ten seconds, but at this moment it made him feel terribly long.

***

When Jorge got off the plane, he rushed to Cristiano's house in Manchester without stopping... He deeply felt that his decision to come here at the first time was really fucking right!

"Calm down, Cristiano." While saying these words, Jorge pressed his hand firmly on Cristiano's shoulder at the same time to prevent him from walking away from his side at any time: "The earthquake mainly occurs In Wenchuan, China, but China is a country with a lot of land, Cyril is not necessarily in the area where the earthquake happened, do you understand?"

Cristiano didn't speak, but judging from his expression, he didn't listen to a word of Jorge's words.

Jorge sighed in frustration, aware of Cristiano's intentions, the agent who was very tolerant and even doting towards Cristiano most of the time, became extremely serious at this moment: "Let's not talk about Siri for now. Whether something happened to Er right now, even if he is indeed in the place called Wenchuan, even if you go there now, it doesn’t make any sense.”

"Do you know where he is? Do you speak Chinese? Do you know the basics of earthquake relief? To put it bluntly, even if you get there now, you will only hinder others and cause trouble for others!"

Perhaps because of the possibility that Jorge imagined, Cristiano stared at him angrily, but his expression was still stubborn, and his answer was concise: "No."

Jorge has always had nothing to do with Cristiano.

And when Cristiano made up his mind to be stubborn, he was even more helpless.

In fact, as early as around ten o'clock last night, Jorge got the news of the earthquake in Wenchuan, China. In the past, this kind of news would not make him get up in the middle of the night like crazy and call everywhere to find news Inquiry—who made Cyril just report the destination of the trip to him, and then walk away without looking back?

Although Jorge's news network is not small, it does not involve the Asian region at all. In desperation, he had to ask someone to inquire more. After asking, he found a call from Cristiano.

At that time, he didn't return Cristiano's call immediately, because he was worried that the other party would make some impulsive decision after he found out. He immediately realized - he already knew.

Is this still available?

After realizing this, Jorge didn't even think about it, and immediately booked a flight to Manchester. Cyril's life and death were unknown, and if there was any problem with Cristiano, Jorge felt that he might go crazy.

He rubbed his forehead with a headache, but instead of making concessions to Cristiano as before, he directly told the other party in a posture close to negotiation: "I will give you two options, one, go to London with me When Cyril comes back, two, stay here honestly and don’t go anywhere.” Without waiting for Cristiano to protest, Jorge added unquestionably: “Believe me, if I want, I can make you Can't go anywhere."

There is no doubt that Cristiano does not want to accept either of these two options, but he understands that Jorge is not joking with him, he is serious, and he does not mind using some special means to let Christie Yano obediently obeyed.

Cristiano said nothing, Jorge watched him calmly, waiting for his answer.

It was at this time that the mobile phone that had been forgotten on the coffee table rang.

Jorge stood closer, so he glanced at it and clearly saw the word "Cyril" displayed on the screen. Before he had time to move, Cristiano picked it up even faster. Cell phone, the call is connected.

"I'm fine." As if he knew what the people here were worried about, as soon as the call was connected, Cyril's voice came from the mobile phone. After saying this, he repeated: "Chris, I fine."

These three words were like a switch. Cristiano, who had been tense all day, finally relaxed a little, but it obviously didn't make him feel at ease. He couldn't help asking again: "Cyril , you... are you really okay? Where are you now?"

"The incident happened suddenly at the time, but I was outside, so I was lucky, so nothing happened." Perhaps aware of the other party's uneasiness, Cyril patiently explained: "I am at the airport now, and I will board the plane in a while. Don't worry, I'm really fine. The plane ticket I booked at [-] pm will arrive in a few hours, so there's no need to lie to you."

After a pause, he continued, "If you still don't believe me, you can go to London and wait for me. It's the same when we meet at the airport."

"Then it's settled." As soon as Cyril finished speaking, Cristiano agreed. The next second, he looked at Mendes very readily, as if I was really easy to talk to. Appearance: "Jorge, I promise you."

Mendes, who stood aside and said it was useless to talk about it, almost wanted to use special methods: "..."

On the other hand, Cyril on the other end of the phone heard the movement here, and asked: "Chris, is Jorge with you too? Exactly, then you can just give him the phone, I have something to discuss with him one time."

Cristiano: "..." So annoying!If I had known he would not have mentioned Jorge =A=.

He reluctantly handed the phone to his manager, staring at Jorge silently.

Jorge took a deep breath.

At the same moment, Cyril calmly moved the phone a little away, keeping a distance of nearly one decimeter from his ear.

After ten seconds of silence, Cyril, who was far away on the other side of the world, received a roaring bombardment from his own manager for the first time in his life: "Cyril, do you think you are crazy! It's not good where you want to go on vacation, why? Why are you going to a remote place in an eastern country? All right? You’d better hope that you’re fine! Do you know how much you’re worth now? Do you know how dangerous a 7.9-magnitude earthquake is? Your legs will be ruined for the rest of your life!"

For the next 3 minutes, Cyril remained as quiet as a chicken, obediently lowered his head to be scolded, until Jorge finally scolded enough, and Cyril put the phone back to his ear.

The rest of the conversation, between Cyril and Jorge, went much smoother after the furious manager had vented enough.Cyril briefly introduced the situation on his side. After confirming that Cyril was really not injured at all and would return to London in a few hours, Jorge was relieved.

Leaving aside for the time being, if Cyril is injured, what impact it will have on the next European Cup in Portugal, as far as Jorge is concerned, he does not want anything to happen to Cyril.To be honest, he has signed a lot of players, but there are really not many players who are as reassuring as Cyril. It has been five or six years since the two signed, even if it is As a friend, Jorge doesn't want anything to happen to Cyril either.

Besides... Thinking of this, Jorge turned his head and silently glanced at Cristiano who had been staring at him covetously since he spoke.

He dared to bet that without Cyril, the number of troubles and tricky fingers in his family, Mr. Ronaldo, the king of Cristiano, would double.
