Chapter 87 A gathering among old friends

Chapter 87 A gathering among old friends

The game against Novara ended at nearly five o'clock in the afternoon. Then not all Udinese players rushed back to Udine because it was the winter break after the game, so the team was disbanded on the spot and many players were nearby. Head to the city of Milan and take a flight to travel around the world.

Bruno also did not return to Udine, but he also did not fly back to Portugal immediately. Instead, he stayed in Novara and got together with some old players.

When he was in Novara, Bruno had a good relationship with his teammates, but there were not many who really had good relationships, including the team's Argentine forward Gonzalez, captain Rubino, and midfielder Buzigori. et al.

Among them, Rubino also retired. However, he did not leave Novara, but joined Novara's coaching team as an assistant coach in the youth team.

Several people met for dinner after the game. Seeing that it was still early, they asked to find a place to sit.

For Italians, most people have to wait until 11 or 12pm to go to bed, and 7pm is indeed very early.

Bruno doesn't want to go to places that are too noisy, such as bars, nightclubs, etc. Now he is considered a relatively famous football star in Italy. It would not be good if he was seen in such an occasion.

Of course, this is also an occasion that Bruno himself prefers not to go to.

Bruno's request made several other people a little confused. They usually go out to play, so naturally they go wherever they want to have fun. Who knows of any quiet place to relax?

Bruno suddenly remembered a place and mentioned it.

Several people had no other place to go, so they took a bus together.

………………

The place Bruno was talking about was naturally the coffee shop opened by Vanessa Heisler. It is located in the suburbs of Milan, not far from Novara, and the environment is very good, which is very suitable for such a small gathering.

When Bruno guided a few people to drive to Vanessa's coffee shop, everyone suddenly showed a knowing smile when they saw that the owner of the coffee shop turned out to be a charming young woman.

I have never heard that Bruno had a relationship with any woman, but I didn’t expect that he would play the role of a hidden beauty in a golden house?

With such a top-notch beauty secretly hidden, it would be difficult for those vulgar fans to detect her.

When Bruno saw the lewd smiles of these guys, he knew that what they were thinking was definitely not a good thing, so he explained.

However, this was all in vain. Due to their preconceptions, although these guys understood verbally, what they thought in their hearts was still shown on their faces.

Vanessa was very surprised to see Bruno coming to her cafe again. She thought that after Bruno transferred to Udinese, he would never appear here again.

But I didn't expect that not only was he here now, but he was also bringing several old teammates with him.

However, she didn't show anything special to Bruno. After all, the two of them had just had a relationship, and they couldn't even be considered friends. At most, they could only be regarded as regular patrons.

After Bruno and others were settled, Vanessa went to greet other guests.

It's around eight o'clock in the evening, which is when the coffee shop's business is at its best.

Bruno discovered that the business here was not as bad as he originally thought, and the people coming in and out were all white-collar workers. The first two times I came, the cafe seemed deserted, perhaps because all the regular customers were at work.

………………

Several people sat in the booth and chatted very happily. It was not until after 11 o'clock in the evening that Bruno urged these guys to get into the car.

After Bruno sent his old teammates away, he discovered that Vanessa was the only one left in the cafe.

Bruno was about to say goodbye, but Vanessa asked her to wait, then took out a bottle of champagne and said she wanted to congratulate him on winning the European Golden Boy Award.

It was hard to refuse the hospitality, so Bruno agreed. Anyway, it’s just a glass of champagne, it’s not a big deal.

Vanessa also took out some snacks, and the two sat down in the cafe again.

After drinking a few glasses of champagne, Bruno noticed that Vanessa's face was a little flushed, and even her beautiful eyes became misty. It seemed that the strength of the champagne was a bit too strong for her.

So Bruno said: "Vanessa, where do you live? I'll take you back."

It was already late now, and Vanessa was not in a good state, so Bruno was not sure about her going home alone.

<divclass="contentadv"> Vanessa also felt that she was in a bad state, so she agreed.

With Bruno's help, Vanessa closed the door of the cafe.

Because both of them drank champagne, Vanessa's car could not be driven, so the two walked to Vanessa's residence. According to Vanessa, the place is not far, it only takes about ten minutes to walk.

………………

After walking for a few minutes, Vanessa suddenly said: "No, I'm going to vomit."

Vanessa's face turned red, but her stomach felt uncomfortable. She didn't know what was going on today. It wasn't like she had never drank champagne before, nor had anything like this happened. Maybe it was because of the cold wind on the way back.

As Christmas approaches in Milan, the temperature has dropped below freezing at night. Especially now that the cold wave is moving southward, it is especially cold at night, with temperatures reaching more than ten degrees below zero.

Although she wore very warm clothes, she suddenly felt uncomfortable when the cold wind blew.

After saying that, Vanessa squatted on the side of the road and vomited.

With the help of the streetlight, Bruno saw that Vanessa was vomiting uncomfortably, and her previous elegant and leisurely demeanor was no longer the slightest bit.

Seeing that there was no one around, Bruno approached Vanessa, held Vanessa's arm with one hand, and gently patted Vanessa's back with the other.

After a while, Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief with some embarrassment.

"Are you feeling better? If you can bear it, let's go back first." Bruno said.

Vanessa nodded, reluctantly stood up and walked forward.

………………

After walking for nearly ten minutes, the two entered a villa area.

Vanessa stopped and said to Bruno: "I'm here, thank you for sending me back."

Bruno smiled and said, "You're welcome. If you hadn't drank champagne with me and driven back by yourself, maybe this thing wouldn't have happened. Is it really okay for you to go back alone?"

When the two were chatting just now, Bruno also learned something about Vanessa. Her parents are not in Italy, but work in the United States. She opened a small store in Milan by herself, so there is no one else at home.

"No problem..." Vanessa said as she walked towards her home, but before she took two steps, she almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

"I'll take you in." Bruno didn't say much. Seeing that Vanessa was still stumbling a little, he didn't care much, so he simply took Vanessa's arm, helped her and walked in.

"I can do it on my own..." Vanessa was a little embarrassed. She also knew that it was inappropriate for Bruno to support her like this. If someone saw him, it would inevitably lead to some rumors.

It would have been fine before, but after what happened two years ago, many people avoided him.

The boy in front of him just doesn't know his own experience. Otherwise, would he still treat himself like this? Or will he be like everyone else and avoid himself like a snake and a scorpion?

Vanessa had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

"Okay, let's go." Bruno didn't know what the other person was thinking, and ignored him, just helping him move forward.

Bruno helped Vanessa open the door to the room. Vanessa struggled and walked in. Bruno carefully closed the door.

Vanessa couldn't hold it in any longer, so she leaned on the sofa in the living room and sat down, and said to Bruno with some embarrassment: "Bruno, I'm really bothering you today, and I asked you to come..."

"Come on, Vanessa, don't be polite. Actually, it all depends on me..." Bruno responded with a smile while taking stock of the situation of the small villa.

When he was outside just now, he discovered that the villa must have been built for a few years, but it was well decorated and the interior layout was reasonable. Although it was a bit simple, it was not simple at all. It showed ordinary taste. It seemed that the woman in front of her had put a lot of thought into the layout of the room.
