Chapter 153 Time Management Master During Winter Break, Taylor Swift's Secret Boyfriend
"Oh, what a handsome young man, come in and have a seat. Su Luo, you didn't even mention bringing someone over."
Jiangcheng, the Su family's villa.
Josephine van Derden was a little nervous. She was usually shy around strangers, and when she was shy, she liked to put on a cold face. Facing Su Luo's parents and family made her even more nervous.
Fortunately, Josephine's exotic style and fresh, forest-like beauty made Su Luo's mother, Zhen Yuling, very happy. She was so pleased that she almost wanted to claim Josephine as her daughter on the spot, not giving Su Luo any chance.
After the UEFA Champions League draw, Union Berlin had only one game left in the Bundesliga to win the half-time championship. In the 17th round of the Bundesliga, playing at home against Augsburg, Union Berlin was determined not to let the opponent spoil their fun. Although Augsburg put up a strong defense, they were no match for Su Luo's unstoppable heavy artillery!
Three shots in a row were blocked by the opponent, but the fourth triggered the law of causality buff! From a small angle, Su Luo volleyed with his back and blasted the opponent's goal to break the deadlock! Su Luo scored his 33rd Bundesliga goal of the season, helping his team to victory! Then, Quinn also scored a goal to end the game.
With this campaign, the first half of the Bundesliga ended, and the league entered the winter break. Bayern Munich was still hot on their heels, with the same points, ranking second due to goal difference. However, Union Berlin still won the winter break championship and was marching toward defending their title!
The holiday season was relatively pleasant and uneventful. After spending Christmas with Josephine's family in the Bremen area, Su Luo took her to Northern Europe. They rented a villa and celebrated New Year's Eve under the gorgeous aurora.
2015 had passed, and it was now New Year's Day 2016. The Bundesliga had a longer winter break, with the team having two weeks left before training camp. Su Luo planned to go back to China and stay at home for a week to have a good reunion with his family.
The trouble was that Josephine was also very curious about China. She kept looking at Su Luo with her pitiful eyes, hoping to go home with him to meet his parents. The problem was that Su Luo originally didn't intend to bring Josephine back. It was very likely to turn into a complicated situation!
According to previous communication with Erica and Taylor Swift, both of them would go to China after New Year's Day, and both would go to Jiangcheng to find Su Luo! Dealing with two women simultaneously was already like walking a tightrope. Adding a third would increase the risk exponentially!
Erica knew about Josephine, but she didn't know about Su Luo's relationship with Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift knew about Josephine and that Su Luo had other romantic partners, but she didn't know who they were. Josephine was completely in the dark!
Before Su Luo figured out how to deal with it, he didn't intend to create extra trouble. Fortunately, Josephine only stayed in Jiangcheng for two days during the New Year's holiday. Soon, she would be flying to New York for Fall/Winter Fashion Week. Erica had a World Athletics event on New Year's Day, seamlessly overlapping with Josephine's schedule. As for Taylor Swift, she knew about everything and wouldn't embarrass Su Luo. She just wanted to meet him since they hadn't seen each other since filming the MV.
Seeing no major problems with time management, Su Luo decided to bring Josephine back. As soon as she entered the house, she was warmly received, making the slightly introverted Josephine a little overwhelmed. Su Luo's two aunts surrounded her, and everyone laughed and chatted with her. Fortunately, Su Luo's relatives had a sense of propriety and didn't ask too many personal questions. They mostly exchanged ideas about German and Chinese food and customs.
Josephine could understand basic Chinese, and the atmosphere in the living room was quite harmonious. Cousin Zhen Qian pulled Su Luo aside.
"Brother, where are the things?"
"Really, do you know how embarrassed I am to ask for this?"
"You are my brother."
Zhen Qian looked at the real out-of-print autographed jerseys in her hand with delight. One was the Union Berlin home jersey, signed by all the team's stars. The other was the away jersey, with signatures from players like Grealish, De Bruyne, Buffon, Pogba, Thomas Muller, and even Ibrahimovic, Balotelli, Inzaghi, Maldini, and other stars!
Some were autographed by Su Luo after the game, while others were signed through Raiola's connections. Each jersey was worth at least 50,000 yuan, but it was all cheaper for Zhen Qian.
"What else?" The little girl reached out to Su Luo again.
Su Luo dug out another signed album from his bag and handed it to her. It was Taylor Swift's "1989," with an additional message: "To the beautiful and lovely Zhen Qian."
Seeing the album, Zhen Qian excitedly hugged Su Luo and acted spoiled for a long time. The two of them were only children and had played together since childhood, like siblings. He couldn't spoil her enough.
After getting the album, she went to whisper to Josephine and left. After a while, Su Luo saw that Josephine was getting a little tired from dealing with all the relatives. He used an excuse to take her back to the bedroom to be alone.
Josephine finally breathed a sigh of relief on Su Luo's couch. She hugged him and snuggled for a while. The two were kissing sweetly when Su Luo suddenly felt a sharp twist on his waist.
Josephine, who was always gentle, rarely did such impulsive things, making Su Luo's heart jump.
"What's up, Jo?"
"The last time you shot a commercial MV, it was with Taylor Swift? You didn't tell me!"
"Yes, I told you."
Su Luo looked serious. This certainty made Josephine doubt herself a little.
"Okay, then I was probably too busy at the time and didn't notice. Sorry."
Josephine offered a sincere apology.
"It's okay, it's been a hard time."
Su Luo hugged her, feeling slightly guilty. In fact, he had been vague. He only mentioned taking leave to shoot a commercial MV in New Zealand but didn't say who the heroine was. Josephine, being a Taylor Swift fan, was aware of her "reputation" and would definitely be jealous if she found out.
Sure enough, Josephine's expression was a bit sour now. Even if Su Luo explained that he and Taylor Swift were just Coca-Cola spokespeople in a regular collaboration, she would still feel a little awkward. Fortunately, she wasn't a difficult person and had always been considerate of Su Luo.
For now, the issue was settled.
"Next time I see Taylor, can you help me get an autographed album too?"
"No problem, leave it to me."
Su Luo's expression was a little strange.
The two days of family reunion over New Year's passed quickly.
Relatives all knew that Su Luo had found a beautiful foreign girlfriend and was earning a lot of money playing football abroad. Everyone praised Su Luo as a young talent. Su Luo's parents were beaming with pride.
Su Luo found it amusing. These were the same people who once said that playing football and not focusing on his studies was a mistake. The relatives weren't bad people; the family was very supportive. However, thanks to the national football team's poor reputation, the perception of football among many Chinese people was not very positive. Few parents wanted their children to learn football. They would rather their children learn basketball. Faced with such a mindset and a flawed football system, Su Luo felt the weight of responsibility for the development of Chinese football.
After the New Year's holiday, Su Luo took Josephine to Jiangcheng Tianhe Airport. He drove around from the departure floor to the arrival floor parking lot and picked up Erica Schmidt, who was in her athletic gear.
Seeing Su Luo, Erica rushed to him. She was always as energetic as the sun. Fortunately, not many people at the airport had watched the Bundesliga or the Champions League, so few recognized Su Luo.
"Where do you want to go? Let's visit the Yellow Crane Tower today and see the Three Gorges tomorrow?"
"No, I want to go to your house."
"My family isn't very interesting..."
"Did she go to your house two days ago? I'm going to meet your parents too."
"How do you know?"
"I follow her on Instagram."
Good grief, Erica was competitive, just like a track and field athlete should be!
No problem. Constantly playing against strong teams had given Su Luo a big heart; he wouldn't panic over anything.
After taking Erica home, Su Luo's parents were a little confused. Why had he just sent away a beautiful girl, only to bring back another equally beautiful one? And both were German?
"Erica, right? Come in and sit down. I'll prepare something for you to eat," Zhen Yuling said enthusiastically. No matter who Su Luo chose in the end, she would be his daughter-in-law.
Erica was much more proactive than Josephine. Her Chinese was a bit worse than Josephine's, but she still chatted with Zhen Yuling, albeit stutteringly. It was clear she was serious about making a good impression on Su Luo's parents.
"Can curves save the country?" Su Luo secretly smiled wryly.
After dinner, Erica also stayed at Su Luo's house. There were many rooms in the villa, so Zhen Yuling arranged a new room for her. In the middle of the night, Erica sneaked into Su Luo's bedroom. Su Luo was still asleep, and the whole situation felt surreal. After waking up, Su Luo realized it was not a dream. It was Erica. Now Su Luo was wide awake.
After spending two days with Erica, she also flew back to Germany. Su Luo again went around Tianhe Airport, back to the underground parking lot, and picked up the tightly covered big star, Taylor Swift.
"I made the time late on purpose. I didn't expect you to be at the airport so soon. Are you sending someone off?" Taylor Swift asked, sitting in the passenger seat of the Bentley and taking off her sunglasses with a half-smile.
"You know too much."
Before Taylor could say anything else, Su Luo immediately leaned over and initiated a kiss. The two entangled in the car for a long time, stopping only when they were almost out of breath. Fortunately, this time, Taylor Swift didn't ask to meet Su Luo's parents; otherwise, his parents might not have been able to handle it.
The two of them just played around in Jiangcheng in a low-key manner and invited cousin Zhen Qian for a meal. Fans were already very confused when they saw their idols. When Zhen Qian saw her idol interacting closely with her cousin, she suddenly had some doubts about life.
Fortunately, Zhen Qian swore to Su Luo again and again before leaving, "Brother, don't worry. Everything today is my secret."
If the news that cousin Su Luo was Taylor Swift's newest secret boyfriend and that Taylor Swift was just one of Su Luo's partners got out, the entertainment and sports circles would probably explode. For the sake of world peace, Zhen Qian promised to keep it a secret.
Until Su Luo returned to Germany for the training camp before the start of the second half of the season, no news had spread out. Nothing seemed to have happened during the New Year's holiday, and only then did Su Luo feel relieved.
Two and a half weeks later, the season resumed. The first game before the end of the winter break was against Bayern Munich! The Bundesliga showdown was about to strike unexpectedly!
