The weak laughter startled Tang En. He turned back to see Shania's bright eyes staring at him, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Uh, it's a little hot … You're awake?"
He was asking even though he already knew the answer.
Shania wanted to nod but could not muster the strength to do so. She could only reply softly.
"Just in time. Drink this." Tang En handed the cup and spoon to Shania. She frowned as she looked at the black, mushy porridge in the cup.
"What … is this?" the girl asked in a hoarse voice.
"Sesame paste." In order to buy this kind of thing, Twain ran a long way while Shania was in a coma before he found a Chinese supermarket of some size and bought this kind of "black sesame paste" which was very common in China.
A strong aroma wafted out of the cup and into Shania's little nose. She could not help but take a deep breath. That's right, it was the aroma of sesame.
She really wanted to taste the "sesame paste", but her hands did not have the strength to pick up the cup and use the spoon to scoop it up.
Seeing her troubled expression, Tang En finally reacted. Patients naturally needed someone to feed and take care of them when they were sick. How could he forget? So he scooped up a small spoon and brought it to Shania's mouth. Just as Shania opened her mouth with much difficulty, he pulled it back.
Shania raised her eyes to glare at him. She realized that Tang En had placed the spoon by her mouth and gently blew on it. Clearly, he was afraid she would be scalded.
So she lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you …"
"Thank you for what?" Tang En, who had blown on the sesame paste to cool, brought the spoon back to Shania's mouth.
"This is the first time we've met …" Shania had just opened her mouth when Tang En stuck the spoon in and immediately covered her mouth.
Hearing Shania's words, Tang En only shrugged and said lightly, "I just don't want to be repeatedly questioned by the police after this: Why did a beautiful girl die in your house?"
Shania did not expect such an answer. This man really did not know how to coax people. So she angrily pouted and bit the spoon in her mouth. Tang En did not expect the girl to have such a big reaction to his words. He pulled once and found that he could not move, so he simply let go and looked at Shania with his head tilted.
With a spoon in her mouth, Shania glared at him from the corner of her eyes, unwilling to show weakness.
Tang En smiled, then took out his phone from his pocket, turned on the camera function, and pointed the camera at Shania.
"You're going to … Ah!" Shania was so surprised that she forgot the fact that she was still holding a stainless steel spoon. She opened her mouth to ask what was going on, but the spoon fell from her mouth. She looked at the spoon that was out of her control in horror and couldn't help but let out a scream.
At this moment, Twain pressed the button to take a picture. "Click!"
"It's perfect …"
Two days later, Shania was discharged. In reality, Shania only had a simple cold and fever. Coupled with the tiredness of the journey, she did not rest well. It was Tang En who was overthinking things.
However, Professor Constantine also approved of Twain's actions. If the patient was not treated in time and the high fever did not subside, it could lead to other more dangerous illnesses, such as meningitis.
All in all, Tang En was relieved that Shania was alive and well after she was discharged from the hospital. Having just experienced Gavin's death, Tang En did not want to see anything happen to anyone around him — even if that person had only been with him for a short three days.
Speaking of which, it was strange that he had unintentionally considered Shania as someone around him, and he did not feel that there was anything wrong with that thought. Although Nurse Kate had been taking care of Shania for the past two days, Tang En still stayed in the ward.
The only trouble was how he was going to deal with the way Miss Kate addressed them. The beautiful and sympathetic nurse always called them "father and daughter," and Tang En could not explain Shania's origins to the nurse, who he was not too familiar with. At this time, it was the way Tang En did not like that helped him. Shania insisted on calling Tang En "Uncle Tony" in the ward. Tang En could not refute it, so he let her be. Later, he simply upgraded it to a fixed form of address.
Tang En admitted defeat. Who asked the Japanese to look older than their actual age? Moreover, his voice was now hoarse from commanding competition training all day. When he opened his mouth, it sounded even more weathered. Moreover, it was fine for a thirteen-year-old girl to call him "Uncle," as long as it was not "Weird Uncle."
Shania, on the other hand, was very happy. She would call him "Uncle Tony" every day. It was like a catchphrase. At first, Tang En thought she was calling him because she had something to do. Later, he realized that was not the case at all, so he simply ignored the mischievous girl.
When the two returned home, Tang En suddenly realized that his precious vacation time was running out. This was his first vacation as a coach, but he did almost nothing.
For the first third of the time, he was in pain and self-blame for his failure, muddling through the day. For the second third, he was busy working on his tourist visa to China, but in the end, he got nothing. Because of Shania's sudden appearance, he had used up three days of the remaining time.
Tang En felt that no matter what, he could not spend the rest of the time like this. He looked at Shania, who had just recovered from her illness, and suddenly thought, Why not go out with her to play? She seemed to have a family life that she could not bear to look back on. During these three days, whenever Tang En asked about the situation of her parents and family, the originally lively girl would immediately fall silent. Since that was the case, he might as well bring her out to relax.
As for Shania's future life, Tang En forced himself not to think about it. He could not figure it out. He was not used to putting things that did not happen in his plans and then waiting for it to happen. If it were the Tony Twain of the past, he might have done so. Now, Tang En only wanted to enjoy this rare vacation before anything else.
So, at breakfast the next day, Tang En watched Shania eat the breakfast he had personally made in high spirits while chatting with her, asking her where she preferred to go to play.
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a long time. Finally, she shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Tang En sighed. He could only make his own decision. He definitely would not go to England. Since it was a vacation, and since he was going to play, he would go a little further.
He searched the map of Europe in his mind, and finally set his destination as the Iberian Peninsula at the southern end of Europe.
"Let's go to Spain!" Tang En had just raised the suggestion when Shania raised both her hands in agreement.
"Okay! Spain! "
Actually, Tang En had decided to go to Spain because there were a few football clubs he was most interested in. He had long wanted to go and experience them. Anyway, the Forest team currently did not have the ability to break into the European arena, so he could only use his vacation to see how imposing the real powerhouses were. If not for the lack of time, he had planned to do a "European football tour." He wanted to go to Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Holland, and even Eastern Europe.
Since he had come to Europe, wouldn't it be a waste if he did not use this opportunity to come into contact with the famous football clubs that he could usually only see on television?
Sometimes, Tang En's habits as a fan could not be changed. But at least he did not do something as embarrassing as asking Michael Dawson for an autograph on the training ground.
And for Judy Shania Jordana, Tang En's suggestion to go to Spain could not be more helpful in her eyes. Think about the sunny beaches in Spain.
Girls, no matter what age they were, liked such wild fantasies. But Tang En did not know that he was very happy that Shania had agreed to his plan.
What happened next was simple. After buying plane tickets to Madrid, Tang En's European football tour officially began with the two clubs in the capital.
