Chapter 25 Chapter 25 The Earl's Wrath

The next afternoon, Liuxia asked Shizuka for a favor.Using shopping together as an excuse, she got rid of Romeo and went to Plaza España. After buying some random things, she and Shizuka went to the nearby Amico Cafe for coffee. Halfway through the drink, she excused herself to go to the bathroom and left her seat. When she reached the door of the bathroom, she didn't go in, but walked to the end of the corridor familiarly.There, there is a very inconspicuous small iron gate. And the place where this small iron door leads is the high-end apartment where Toto lives. She discovered this secret when she and Toto came here for coffee, but she didn't expect it to play a role today.Although Liu Xia is not sure whether Alfonso will send someone to monitor her, it is better to be careful.She didn't want to implicate Toto and his Meraviglia because of her negligence.

Looking at her watch, she knew that she was running out of time, so she quickly took the elevator up to the 16th floor. Toto was usually out of training by this time, so she was pretty sure he was home.Sure enough, the doorbell only rang twice, and someone came to open the door immediately. "Liuxia...?" Toto was obviously both surprised and happy, but the look of surprise was only fleeting, and was quickly replaced by a touch of disappointment. "What else are you here for?" There was a bit of sourness in his tone, "Didn't you already live with that earl? Now that you come to me again, aren't you afraid that your earl will be angry?"

His words pricked Liuxia's heart like a thin needle, but she didn't care about it at the moment, she stretched out her hand and pushed him in, and quickly closed the door. "Toto, I'm here today to talk to you about something." She looked at him solemnly, "Is Luca the referee for Roma and Lazio in the last round of Serie A?" Toto nodded in surprise, "How do you know? We just got the news." Liu Xia settled down, "This game has been manipulated by EE's gaming company, and Luka himself has also been bought, so you must be careful during the game."

Toto didn't seem too surprised by the news. Instead, he curled his lips and sneered, "Sure enough, I also guessed that some people would not easily miss this opportunity. This is not the first time. Italian football is Getting dirtier and dirtier by these black sheep." "Toto..." She sighed softly, feeling a little powerless in her heart.Reality and dreams are sometimes far apart.And there are some realities that cannot be changed by their power at all. "The most abominable thing is knowing that there is trickery in it, but there is no evidence." Toto shook his head helplessly, and suddenly seemed to remember something, raised his eyes and stared at her with a complicated look, "It's you , Liu Xia, how did you know about this?"

"I... I just heard it." She faltered and tried to prevaricate. There seemed to be something shaking in Toto's eyes, it was a flashback of pain and distress, "Liu Xia, now you have your own life, that is your choice, although I can't understand, accept or agree with it, but I can't force it You. But please promise me one thing anyway, Estate, don't let yourself live in danger." Liu Xia's nose was slightly sore, and the sadness welling up in her heart was suppressed by her again. When she raised her head again, she showed him a please don't worry smile, "I will live a good life, you And Meraviglia, live well too."

Hearing her mention Meraviglia, Toto's expression suddenly became gentle, "By the way, Liu Xia, do you want to see her? She is sleeping." Liu Xia looked at his watch and shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, I have to go. Shizuka is still waiting for me." When she opened the door, she heard Toto's voice whispering behind her, "Even if this is a game of 11 against 12, I will not give up, I will do my best, and never give up." The integrity of the game will not be allowed to be sullied." Liu Xia paused for a few seconds, nodded again, and closed the door without saying anything.

She didn't leave immediately, but leaned feebly against the door, as if seeking strength to support her.She was afraid that if she continued to stay there, tears would fall down uncontrollably. At this time, she thought a lot, wanted to encourage him by his side, and cheer for his dream. However, she couldn't do anything. Standing inside the door, he just stared at the door that separated each other, and slowly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hold some sporadic fragments, but his palm was empty.His face froze slightly, and a wry smile quietly surfaced on the corner of his lips.

On the other side of the door, is her with ups and downs. On the other side of the door is him with a sad heart. A thin door is like an insurmountable moat between them. When Liu Xia returned to the castle, it was getting late.Although today she has carefully used Shizuka as a cover, and the time to meet Toto is so short, but for some reason, she still feels a little uneasy. Before reaching her room through the dark corridor, this uneasy feeling became more and more intense, making her feel inexplicably restless, as if there was some invisible crisis dormant quietly in the darkness. It wasn't until she opened the door of her room that she breathed a sigh of relief.But the moment she walked into the room and was about to turn on the light, she suddenly heard a moderate cough from the sofa.

She froze in place as if she had been shocked by an electric shock, and then she heard the low, magnetic voice floating in the air like the dark fog at night, reaching her ears very clearly, "Welcome back." His voice seemed to come from the deepest part of hell, full of oppression that could almost crush the heart, and the horror extending from this oppression wrapped Liuxia tightly like an invisible net, making him feel Every breath she took seemed to become extremely difficult. Welcome back, which sounds more like a threat at this point. Liu Xia slowly raised her head, and saw Alfonso sitting on the sofa through the light of the moonlight.Half of his face reflected the moonlight, and the other half of his face was hidden in the shadow, showing some kind of indescribable charm.There was a faint brilliance in those dark and powerful eyes, like stars containing the entire sky.

She had never seen a person so terrifyingly beautiful. Liu Xia collected herself, pretending to be calm and said, "Mr. Alfonso, you are still in my room so late. Is there something important?" Alfonso didn't look at her, but looked out the window, and asked seemingly casually, "Where did you go today?" Her heart skipped a beat, but she still replied calmly, "I went shopping with Shizuka and drank coffee together. You should give me this little freedom." The corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a weird smile, "Liu Xia, maybe I gave you too much freedom."

She shook her head, "I don't understand what you mean." "I once said that if you do something I don't like again, I will take back your freedom." He turned his face, his water-green eyes were filled with an indistinguishable gloomy emotion, "Why go Toto's?" Hearing this sentence, Liu Xia only felt a buzzing sound in his ears, his mind went blank for a moment, the only thing that came to his eyes was one sentence, how could he know?how come? "You really sent someone to watch me?" She was a little puzzled while being angry, she was careful enough today, how could she still be found out? He seemed to sneer, "Liu Xia, you underestimate Romeo too much. It may be okay to hide this little trick of yours from others, but for Romeo, it won't work at all. He knows your every move like the back of his hand. " Now that he saw through, Liu Xia simply admitted, "That's right, I went to Toto's house. Even if we broke up, he's still my friend. It's not too much." Alfonso lowered his head, turning the ring on his finger consciously or unconsciously, "Did you hear a lot of interesting things in my study yesterday?" Liu Xia's complexion suddenly turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she made an unbelievable voice, "I...I...don't understand what you're talking about..." "Oh, I just found out this morning too." He raised his eyebrows, "I forgot to tell you, I have always installed a camera in my study, which can capture any blind spot. Of course, it also includes behind the bookshelf." Her originally pale face instantly added a layer of transparent frost. "Liu Xia, you really let me down." An unknown smile appeared on the corner of his lips, appearing cruel and cold, "Perhaps... I should prepare a special gift for him." Liu Xia's heart was agitated, and the huge fear suddenly drowned her like a tide. She pleaded without thinking, "Alfonso, don't, don't hurt him...I promise you, I will never see him again!" He looked at her blankly, got up and walked towards the door. Liu Xia was even more anxious, reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, his voice was out of tune, "Please, Alfonso, don't hurt him, as long as you don't hurt him, I promise you anything, I will never Won't do anything you don't like, I swear I'll never see him again, please!" Alfonso's pupils shrank suddenly, and he sneered again, "Liu Xia, so you can bow your head and beg for him so easily... Is this still the proud you?" Liu Xia ignored his ridicule and sarcasm, and still begged bitterly. She didn't know what he would do to Toto, but the only thing that was certain was that he would hurt Toto, and he would hurt Toto because of her. ...she couldn't allow this to happen.As long as it can prevent him from hurting Toto, she is willing to do anything, and she can agree to any request. Alfonso's face became even more gloomy and terrifying. He suddenly squeezed her wrist tightly without grace, pulled her up and pushed her hard, and slammed a few words from between his lips and teeth, "too late!" Liu Xia was pushed to the ground by him, and when he wanted to go forward again, he found that the door had been locked by him from the outside. "Until Saturday's game, you can stay here. I will take sick leave for you at the school." He dropped these few words without hesitation and left the place immediately. "Alfonso! Let me out!" She slammed on the door a few times, and slumped to the ground in despair after receiving no response. what to do?What should she do now? It's all her fault for him...it's all her fault... When the sunlight of the next day shone into the room through the window, Liu Xia realized that it was already dawn.Yesterday she unexpectedly fell asleep leaning against the door so unknowingly... As soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately took out her mobile phone from her handbag, trying to see if she could call Toto.Yesterday she was so angry that she couldn't think rationally at all, so she never thought of calling.After a night, she has calmed down a lot.But the phone couldn't be made, so she tried to dial the mobile phones of Shizuka and Camilla again, but the result was the same.Apparently the phone has been taken out of use. Liu Xia threw the phone aside angrily. Needless to say, this was probably done by Alfonso. For two days in a row, except that Alfonso would bring the food in himself during meals, she seemed to be forgotten here.This room seemed to be a gorgeous cage, which bound her tightly.During the period, Romeo also came once, but Liu Xia remembered that this incident was also related to him, so he ignored him at all. If it weren't for him, how would Alfonso know that he went to Toto's house... On Saturday night, Alfonso turned on the TV as soon as he entered the room, and what appeared on the screen was the match between Roma and Lazio. Liu Xia's whole heart was immediately pulled up, and his eyes closely followed the figure of No. 3 of the Roman team on the field.He always noticed the position of the camera more keenly than others, and even when he was running, he didn't forget to tidy up his hair. Roma fans were in a rage, singing the Roma team anthem and shouting Toto's name from the beginning. Toto naturally did not disappoint his fans, and quickly entered the state, forming several threatening shots outside the opponent's goal. In the 25th minute of the game, Toto dribbled the ball forward quickly, passed the goalkeeper with a beautiful feint, and sent the ball into the opponent's goal accurately with an angry shot! 1:0! The atmosphere on the field suddenly boiled, and the red and yellow Roman team flags with the wolf emblem were flying up all over the field almost at the same time!The voice of the narrator also instantly increased by a few percentage points, and Toto's name lasted almost half a minute in his mouth! A gratified smile appeared on Liu Xia's lips.Yes, he was absolutely right. Even if it's an 11-versus-12 game, he'll give it his all and never compromise. So, with Toto like this, his fans will never be afraid. In her eyes, he will always be the beautiful boy who practiced again and again under the sunset in Positano. Alfonso looked at her calmly with a wine glass in his hand, with a cold mockery flashing in his eyes.The dark red liquid in the cup exudes a strange luster under the light, like fresh blood. Liu Xia, this is just the beginning. The turning point of the game came in the sixth minute of the second half when the Roma defender accidentally fell to the ground with the opponent when intercepting the opponent's striker.This was originally a non-controversial tackle, but the on-duty referee Luca gave Lazio a penalty without hesitation. Immediately boos from the Roma fans came from the surrounding stands. Toto and captain Paulo also stepped forward to argue with Luca, but they were all shown a warning yellow card by the other side. Lazio's striker stepped forward to take a penalty kick, and there was no big surprise, the ball fell into the net! 1:1! It started, this dirty scene finally started. Liu Xia felt cold sweat breaking out of his palms nervously, if this continues, he doesn't know what will happen.If it's just a draw, EE won't let it go.And right now, apart from letting the referee play tricks, their biggest obstacle is Toto's performance... Unless... Toto is prevented from scoring... Thinking of this, she looked at Alfonso with a pale face. Is this why he let himself watch the game? The morale of the Roma team was not crushed by this unfair penalty. Toto smiled and patted the shoulders of other teammates, telling them to continue to support.He shuttled through the field like a bird, bringing everyone full confidence and courage. It was an incomparable charisma comparable to the golden boy Rossi. Time is passing by bit by bit, but Liu Xia firmly believes that he will be the final winner. He started desperately as soon as he got on the court, and he would never give up until the last minute. Maybe people can dislike such a man, but they cannot disrespect such a man. Ten minutes before the end of the game, captain Paul made a wonderful pass and passed the ball to the frontcourt. Toto finally seized this opportunity and took the ball straight into the penalty area... The face of the goalkeeper changed, the head coach of Lazio began to roar loudly on the sidelines, and almost all the players stopped, watching this unstoppable goal... At this moment, one of Lazio's defenders suddenly rushed up and kicked the ball from behind to tackle the ball. The action of tackling the ball behind the back is already very dangerous, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, his foot did not hit the football. , but kicked Toto's calf firmly! Time seemed to stop suddenly.A nightmarish scene unfolded in front of Liu Xia's eyes, as if her whole world was filled with blood stained with scarlet --- his eyes became darker and darker, and the expression on his face It was so painful and unwilling, and finally fell to the ground slowly... The medical staff rushed into the field with a stretcher... It was only a moment, but it seemed to her that centuries had passed. long. The brain has lost any response, as if even the strength to breathe has been sucked out.She collapsed limply to the ground, her heart aching beyond measure. The Roma team's leading situation on the field turned into a sharp turnaround because of Toto's injury. The morale of the Roma team, which was seriously hit, obviously lost its game in the last few minutes, and the opponent took the opportunity to win two consecutive cities! The referee's final whistle was so sharp that it almost pierced people's eardrums, and the big screen in the field was frozen at the shocking score--1:3. Liu Xia was awakened suddenly by the whistle, she rushed towards the door without thinking, but was stopped by Alfonso before she got there. "Do you want to see him? Does your heart hurt?" His smile was cruel like a devil. Liu Xia's heart suddenly trembled, "It's you! You ordered others to do this, right! You are too despicable!" Alfonso didn't deny it, just smiled coldly. "I want to see him! Let me go!" She struggled violently with a hoarse voice, like an angry little animal trapped in a hunter's trap. What happened to Toto? Is his leg...broken? No... She didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it, her only thought was to hurry to his side... "You're not allowed to go anywhere!" His voice sounded like it came from the depths of hell. "Alfonso, you bastard, I will never like you!" She angrily displayed all the skills she had learned, even kicking and kicking, with fierce moves, all of which were aimed at his vitals.But the other party was born to be her nemesis, every move could be easily broken by him, and in the end she was exhausted but still couldn't hurt him a bit. "Liu Xia, I told you that you will never be my opponent." He looked at her panting calmly, and seemed to find such resistance ridiculous, "Stay here well, I will consider it when you calm down." Get you back to class." After he finished speaking, he stepped out of the door, and immediately there was a sound of locking the door from outside. "Alfonso!" Liu Xia yelled, and threw the vase on the table against the door as if to vent her anger. With a bang, the 18th-century French enamel vase suddenly shattered to the ground, and every fragment seemed to be pierced to her heart. What should she do next?
