Chapter 42
"Look! This is the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium!" Donn stood under the tall white wall and pointed to the name on the wall and said excitedly, but Shania yawned beside her.
After a few days in Spain, she thought she would go to the beach, ancient city and other sightseeing trips, but she didn't expect to come here to watch the stadium early in the morning.
"Uncle Tony, have you not seen enough while you were working?"
Don En, who was shocked by the magnificence of the Bernabeu Stadium, couldn't hear the dissatisfaction in Shania's tone. He shook his head: "How can such a middle school stadium-like place be compared with this kind of football temple?"
This time, Shaniya deliberately amplified the yawning sound, and Tang En finally noticed her yawning.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you wake up? Didn't you let you fall asleep at eleven o'clock yesterday?"
What Tang En asked made Shanniya feel weak. She rolled her eyes and stopped yawning: "No, I will move my lower muscles and beautify me."
"I just thought about these things at such a young age..." Tang En smiled. After a few days of getting along, he felt that this little girl was more and more cute.
Sometimes he would think that if the girl really doesn't want to go back to her foster parents, just go through some procedures and adopt her.
Although I don’t know if he will feel bored because he has a child around him in the future, now he likes to have such a lively little angel with him. At least he won’t feel so bored every day, even if he occasionally fights, it’s great.
"You really like football." Xianya said with a slight sarcastic look.
"Don't you like it? You are from Brazil..." Tang En glanced at her.
"Of course, I am a Brazilian. I also like football... Ah, I was wrong, you didn't like it! You are obsessed with it! Infatuated!" Shania pointed at Don Eun and announced loudly, "You are obsessed with football, just like you are obsessed with women!"
"What kind of women do children know about? They are obsessed with." Tang En gently patted Shania and pointed at her hand, "Football and women are two completely different things... things. Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat."
Shania was a little strange. She scratched her head: "Don't you go in?"
Tang En looked up at the magnificent football field and shook his head.
"Judy, I'm a football coach, you know?"
Shania nodded, but she didn't understand what it had to do with her problem.
"If I walk in there one day," Don said to the Bernabeu, "there are only two possibilities. One, I lead the team here to play; the other. I become the owner of the land here."
Tang En said this to her with a light on his back, and Shania couldn't see his expression.
"Let's go and have lunch! I'll take you to eat the famous Madrid stewed meat..." Tang En took Shania's hand and left the football temple in her mind without looking back.
In the following days, Donn took Shania to Atletico Madrid's home court Calderon Stadium, to Barcelona's home court Camp Nou Stadium, and Valencia's home court Mestalia Stadium.
They ran from one city to another as if they were in a hurry, and quickly visited the football field in the city like a dragonfly, and then went to the next destination.
Shania can only look out of the window when the train passes outside Barcelona. She looks out from the window at the sunny beach and the rippling sea.
Although she has been in Spain this week, she feels that this is no different from being in Brazil or the UK.
Have we been to Malaga, the city of paradise? Have we visited the famous bullfighting show in Spain? Have we been to Formentera, the last place in the Mediterranean? Have we been to the Cathedral of Seville? Have we been to the Cathedral of Barcelona?...We have never been to any place.
There are hundreds of photos stored in the digital camera, but they are all about the football field.
She sighed, looked at Tang En, who was sleeping aside because of the fatigue of the journey, and then pouted her mouth.
This holiday was full of longing and passed like this... so boring!
Don En, who was sleeping soundly, and Shania, who was sighing, didn't know. When they were traveling around Spain, people in the UK were going crazy to find them.
The Finnan gentleman picked up the Times after breakfast as usual. After carefully reading the latest political and economic news, he noticed a photo inside the corner.
This is a missing person notice. A pair of anxious parents asked the whole society for help to find their daughter who ran away from home. In addition to carefully describing the woman's appearance, name, age, height and other characteristics, they also attached a clear photo.
Finnan was attracted by this photo. The more he looked at him, the more he looked like a person - the little girl he saw in a taxi, the little girl curled up in Don Eun's arms!
Although I don’t know what happened, out of a sense of responsibility, Mr. Finnan picked up the phone and dialed it according to the number that was last published in the notice.
While waiting at Madrid Airport, Don En took the time to sort out the photos in his digital camera. This was a huge project and he didn't expect to do it in just one hour.
Shania sat opposite him and kicked her legs back and forth, her two snow-white calves swaying in front of him, making him unable to help but be distracted.
So Tang En simply kept his original posture unchanged, but secretly moved his eyes and carefully observed the little girl.
Shania seemed a little bored. She was not honest in her chair. She looked around and didn't know what to do. She pouted for a while and looked at the plane taking off and landing outside the window.
After a while, she took out a nail clipper to repair her fingernails, but soon her attention turned to the bearded man with a fat man's chin diagonally opposite...
Only then did Tang En realize that his mind was full of football and wealthy people these days. Xianya, who was accidentally ignored with him.
Despite this, Xianya never got angry in front of her. At most, she sighed more frequently, and her mouth was so pouting that she could hang an oil bottle.
Don En decided to make some compensation. He put away the digital camera, then stood up and said to Shania, "Judy. I'll leave for a moment, you'll wait for me here."
Hearing Tang En talk to her, the lost expression on Shania's face immediately swept away. She nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll wait for you here!"
After leaving the waiting area, Tang En was wandering around the building. He wanted to buy something for Shania for tourism souvenirs, but he forgot about it when he was at the tourist attraction. Now he wanted to make up for this regret but couldn't find the right thing to give it.
After "headless fly" Tang En bumped around, he stopped in front of a duty-free shop selling gifts. He was attracted by the cute and cute toy dolls in the store window.
When he remembered that girls would like this cute toy.
So he walked in and picked up dolls that Xianya might like... so many. Which one is better to give? In the end, his eyes stopped on the largest doll - Totoro.
He remembered that when he first met Shania, a mini chinchilla hung on the child's backpack, and it was it!
Back at the waiting seat, Shania was still bowing her head and manicures boredly, although there was nothing to be repaired there. Seeing her tilting her head and being absent-minded, Tang En planned to tease her.
He quietly walked around behind Xianya's seat, then slowly placed the chinchilla doll in front of the girl, lowered his voice to imitate the chinchilla's cry: "Ah woo~~~ Ah woo~~~~"
"Wow!" The trance of Shania was so scared that she almost jumped out of her seat.
Seeing Shania's shoulders thrust suddenly, Tang En couldn't help laughing behind her.
Shaniya, who found herself teased, frowned, pursed her lips, and didn't say anything, and stared at Tang En squintly. But Tang En couldn't see the meaning of anger in those oriental eyes.
He handed the doll in his hand to the pretended angry Xianya.
"I'll give it to you. I originally meant to take you out for fun.
As a result, you accompany me, I completely forgot your feelings..." Tang En felt a little embarrassed when he said that, and his other hand grabbed his nose and scratched his hair. He didn't know where to put it.
Looking at Tang En's embarrassment, Xianya snorted. But she still reached out to take the doll, then buried her face in the arms of the furry chinchilla, rubbing back and forth.
"totoro!" she shouted happily, her voice being stuffed in the doll's fluff, which was the transliteration of the Japanese name of Totoro.
Seeing that her mood improved, Tang En was relieved.
His holiday is over, and he will soon face preparations for the new season when he returns to Nottingham. Although the team is still on holiday, he, as a coach, must prepare for the future.
At that time, if you are busy at work, what should Shania do? He escaped the problem for a week and finally had to face it.
After spending more than a week together, Tang En discovered many cute and likable places in Shania. He felt that perhaps with such a lively, cute and sensible little girl, he would not be so bored in life.
Before meeting Xianya, his life was actually very monotonous. Except for work, he spent most of the time in the bar. I occasionally looked forward to Yang Yan coming to teach him.
If Xianya likes to be with him, why don’t she adopt her? Anyway, she was adopted by that pair of cruel people... In fact, the most important reason is deeply buried in Tang En's heart. Maybe he doesn’t even know it himself.
That is - this thirteen-year-old smart little girl will make him think of another child from time to time, about the same age as her. But she can never smile.
"Judy, do you still want to go home... Uh, I mean that home in Brazil?"
Shania, who was having fun with the Chinchilla Doll, shook her head.
"Then...you..." Tang En didn't know how to ask this question.
"You can live with Uncle Tony. Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for Uncle Tony!"
This is what Tang En hoped to hear the words, and he grinned. But he frowned in his heart... The child thought it was a very simple thing, and although Tang En had never adopted a child, he knew it was a very complicated thing.
It seems that this summer is destined to be busier than usual. Go back and find out what lawyer Jack Randy is and ask him about the legal procedures for transnational adoption of children.
Looking at Shania, who was holding half of her big chinchilla, Tang En smiled bitterly and shook her head: Unexpectedly, her wife didn't know where she was, so she had this child first...
