Football: The strongest post-2000s Chapter 038

Tong Shenbing’s big eyes, revealing true emotions, gazed at Li Qing, and she nodded slightly, “Of course!”

As a Manchester United fan, the team Tong Shenbing followed was naturally Manchester United, coached by Mourinho. In her spare time, she would also open “Dongqiudi” to read interesting football news. She had no idea about Liverpool’s youth academy, and naturally didn’t know Li Qing’s recent situation at the Kirkby Academy. Moreover, she also believed that matches in the U 15-U 16 age group were not worth mentioning.

In her opinion, this was a goal Li Qing could not achieve.

Want to be my boyfriend?

Being handsome isn’t enough; you have to be at least 1.8 meters tall!

Li Qing looked at Tong Shenbing with a half-smile, his expression turning playful, “What if you go back on your word then?”

“I’m really speechless with you. How about we hook pinkies?”

Tong Shenbing raised her right hand and extended her little finger. Li Qing shrugged, then extended his right little finger, hooking it with Tong Shenbing’s. The two said in unison, “Hook pinkies, hang yourself, never change for a hundred years!”

For Li Qing, who had already become a semi-professional player, representing Liverpool’s first team was only a matter of time. As for… scoring goals, once he played, would he be far from scoring?

Heh…

It seemed a girlfriend wasn’t far away.

Tong Shenbing retracted her right hand, feeling the stone that had been weighing on her heart instantly drop, and her mood immediately improved. She waved her hand grandly, “Little brother, eat whatever you want. This elder sister is paying!”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

…

An hour later, after eating their fill, Tong Shenbing snapped her fingers with extreme flair.

The waitress came to Tong Shenbing’s side with the bill, bending over and saying, “Beautiful lady, your total is 385 pounds. Cash or card?”

“Pfft~”

Hearing the price, Tong Shenbing spat out all the warm water she had just drunk, and choked a little, fortunately not into her windpipe.

Wiping away the water stains, she asked with a slight twitch of her mouth, “What? How much?”

“ 385 pounds.”

“Ah?”

Tong Shenbing had never expected that a meal at a Brazilian barbecue restaurant would cost nearly four hundred pounds. It was a rip-off!

These nearly four hundred pounds were her living expenses for over a month!

The pain was like missing out on the Glorious Gold rank today!

Li Qing had the soul of someone close to thirty years old; how could he not see it?

So, he smiled and took out a bank card from his pocket, saying to the waitress, “Charge my card.”

Although Tong Shenbing felt the pinch of over three hundred pounds, she still had to keep her promise to treat. At most, she’d eat instant noodles next month. She said with a firm expression, “You came to visit me. As the host, I must treat you.”

Saying that, she resolutely took out her bank card, “Still charge mine. I already said earlier that I’m treating this gentleman to dinner.”

The waitress standing in the middle looked at the two cards, unsure what to do.

“As a gentleman, how can I let a beautiful lady pay for dinner?”

Li Qing gently placed his bank card into the waitress’s hand, then said to Tong Shenbing, “Cousin, don’t argue with me. You don’t know, I’m already a main player in the U 18 team and have signed an apprentice contract with Liverpool. I’ll tell you quietly, I asked Brewster, and my weekly salary is still a top-tier contract within the team.”

“What?”

Tong Shenbing’s expression changed upon hearing this. Wasn’t Li Qing only 15 years old?

How did he get into U 18 and even sign a top-tier apprentice contract within the team?

What did he just say earlier?

If he played and scored for Liverpool’s first team, she would be his girlfriend.

This…

As a fan, she knew that the U 18 youth team was the path to the first team, and Li Qing even had a top-tier apprentice contract for the U 18 youth team. Didn’t this mean he was highly regarded by Liverpool’s management?

She really wanted to ask weakly, could she go back on her word?

Li Qing naturally didn’t know Tong Shenbing’s inner thoughts. He thought she hadn’t heard clearly, so he repeated himself.

“Wow, so you’re a hidden tycoon. Then this meal is on you.”

“Hehe~”

Li Qing put away the bank card the waitress returned, stood up, and said half-jokingly, “Cousin, while I’m striving, you must remain pure, okay?”

Tong Shenbing snorted exasperatedly, “None of your business?”

Li Qing looked at Tong Shenbing, stunned for a moment. It wasn’t that he was attracted by her stunning beauty, but rather… if he remembered correctly, this should be the first time he had seen Tong Shenbing act spoiled.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Tong Shenbing couldn’t stand Li Qing’s aggressive gaze a bit and walked quickly outside.

…

The waitress opened the glass door, and a gust of cold wind blew in from outside, making Tong Shenbing shiver uncontrollably.

Li Qing saw it and draped the down jacket he was about to put on over Tong Shenbing’s shoulders, “Here, put it on.”

Tong Shenbing shifted sideways, not letting the down jacket fall onto her shoulders, and shook her head, “No need.”

Li Qing shook his head, held the down jacket, and walked half a meter in front of Tong Shenbing, saying domineeringly, “As a professional player, my body is definitely strong, I’m not cold. You are my future girlfriend, you can’t catch a cold. Be good, put it on.”

The strong masculine scent that wafted over was exceptionally intense. Tong Shenbing felt her heart pound, and with a flushed face, she didn’t refuse this time, but tacitly allowed Li Qing’s actions.

Looking at the little brother who had grown a bit taller than her in just over a month, she suddenly felt that he was very manly.

Becoming a starting player for Liverpool’s U 18 at 15 years old meant he would definitely have a boundless future. When they became boyfriend and girlfriend, she could tell her best friends back home that she had a boyfriend who played for Liverpool’s first team. How much face would that be?

Thinking of this, her stunningly beautiful face became even more flushed…

Manchester is in the northwest of England, and since today was Christmas Eve, many people chose to spend it with family or lovers, so there were few people on the streets, making it feel even colder. Fortunately, he was wearing a high-necked wool sweater and was in good health, so he didn’t feel cold at all.

After dinner, the two went to many places, shopped at a mall, and even watched a movie.

Happy times flew by, and before they knew it, it was midnight. The two arrived at the entrance of the Manchester University female dormitory.

If it were before his transmigration, Li Qing would definitely have said, “It’s late, how about we find a place to rest?” But for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to say it in front of Tong Shenbing.

Tong Shenbing looked at Li Qing, who seemed to want to speak but hesitated. Being precocious, she probably guessed what he was thinking, her pretty face slightly flushed, and she couldn’t help but roll her eyes charmingly, then left a graceful figure, “Little brat, see you tomorrow.”

“It’s been too long since I flirted with a girl, I can’t even say my lines, sigh…”

Li Qing shook his head with a bitter smile and turned to leave.

From the window on the half-landing of the staircase, Tong Shenbing watched Li Qing’s back slowly disappear into the night, her mood becoming somewhat complex.
