Chapter 14 Catch
Soon, the one-week period given to Eggsy by the school was coming to an end, and Eggsy worked harder and harder in his daily training, especially in tactical learning and shooting.
And his current excellent dribbling skills and long and short passes for set pieces are still being trained every day. The reason for this training is of course due to some strange cause and effect.
For example, the club's next game is an away game against Crystal Palace. Since Vardy didn't score a goal in the last game against Queen's Park, he has been reminding Eggsy to pass the ball to him and make a pass.
Of course, in return he would find a way for Eggsy to deal with his parents, and he patted his chest and guaranteed that he could definitely handle it and there would be no problem.
Although Eggsy said that he would pass the ball to Vardy even if Vardy didn't help him find fake parents, Vardy said that this is called mutual benefit between teammates and will help their friendship on the field to develop better.
"But I still haven't thought it through..." Eggsy was a little embarrassed. While juggling the ball, he answered Vardy who was waiting for his answer: "I always feel that this matter cannot be resolved in this way."
The reason why this matter has not been resolved until now is because Eggsy has been hesitating whether to really do as Vardy said and find fake parents to go to school to deal with it.
Or should I just confront the school and leave everything to fate?
Eggsy always felt uncomfortable with the fake parents issue, thinking that he had deceived his teachers and would lose his reputation, which went against his original intention of wanting honor, so he was very unhappy.
But the school's management is very strict, and he had concealed the truth before, and now he is in a difficult situation.
Vardy, on the other hand, patted his chest and said that he had found the person who knew him well, and that the other party was very experienced in pretending to be a parent! He also knew a lot about Eggsy's life, and it would be a sure thing if he talked to the teacher.
"You'll know when you go there. He's guaranteed to be like your real dad!" Vardy said this with real confidence, but Eggsy was still a little panicked, especially since he had to go against his instinct to love honor. He was so troubled that he couldn't sleep well the whole night.
"Trust me, go to school with me after the training, I guarantee you will have a surprise!" Vardy said it with such finality.
But the more this happened, the more doubtful Eggsy became. He didn't notice when Mr. Ranieri was standing behind them until Mr. Ranieri spoke. Then they were both so scared that they almost jumped up!
"You guys actually have time to chat here? Is the training too easy?"
Ranieri's smiling question almost scared Eggsy and Vardy to death. The two of them immediately started their respective training. Eggsy immediately started his 500-goal shooting training.
Vardy started dribbling and dribbling, and he still had 100 sets to complete today. The two of them were serious and didn't dare to be lazy or take a break.
Mr. Ranieri looked at the two of them for a long time, and finally walked away rubbing his chin.
After the training at noon, Eggsy took a shower and changed into his school uniform. He wore a standard gray-blue suit and tie, and the school emblem with a crown logo was on the chest pocket.
To be honest, it's only when Eggsy put on this outfit that people can really see that he is still a child. He still has the innocence of a child and the immaturity of a teenager. He is completely devoid of the energy he has on the court. Instead, he has the bookish air that only elite students have.
At least when Eggsy was wearing this outfit, when he found Vardy's car in the club's parking lot, Vardy whistled at Eggsy in a particularly uncouth manner!
"What, what happened?"
Eggsy didn't understand why Vardy whistled at him, and for a moment he thought there was something wrong with his clothes.
Just look at Vardy sitting in the driver's seat looking up and down at Eggsy, and finally focus his eyes on the school badge on Eggsy's chest.
"Come on up, our top student."
Eggsy obviously didn't care about how Vardy addressed him. Instead, he looked at the car from front to back and then spoke with a puzzled look on his face.
"Where's the person? Didn't you say you gave me a fake one..." Eggsy still couldn't say the word 'father' or 'dad', so he could only change his angle and say: "I've already made an appointment with the teachers. Did you make an appointment with that person to meet at the school gate? Don't be late."
As Vardy started the car, he reached out to open the storage box in front of Eggsy. Inside was a black wig, plain glasses, and a pair of fake Halloween beards that could be attached to his face...
Eggsy looked at these things quietly for more than ten seconds, and then his originally calm face gradually turned into despair. Finally, he slowly turned his head to look at Vardy who was driving: "It's not what I thought, right?"
Vardy obviously didn't understand the despair on Eggsy's face. When the car arrived at the intersection and was waiting for the red light, he took out the wig and glasses from the storage box, put them on himself carelessly, and said proudly: "I feel good. Can you still tell that I am Vardy?"
...Well, I can’t tell.
But you can't tell that you are Eggsy's father...
Eggsy looked at Eggsy with a vicissitudes of life on his face. His facial expression went from depression to despair. Eggsy asked in a low voice, as if he was still breathing.
"Do you think that you, as a European, can give birth to an Asian child?"
Valdi was stunned for a moment, then tentatively asked Eggsy: "How about adoption?"
Eggsy looked at Vardy for a long time without saying anything.
The facial expression looked very calm, but there was always a sense of despair in the calmness, which made Vardy feel that this little guy kept asking himself: Are you serious? Are you here to make fun of me?
This time Vardy was stunned, and seemed to realize that it was quite unreliable for him to pretend to be the little boy's father and go to school.
So the two of them were no longer in a hurry to go to school. They just parked the car on the side of the road and turned on the hazard lights. Then they were both speechless!
Compared to Vardy's anxiety, Eggsy is now in complete despair.
How he wished he had not sent the text message asking the teacher to meet with parents in the afternoon, and the teacher even replied to his text message and asked him not to be late!
At this critical moment, where can we find an Asian father or mother to replace him? It’s too late to call for Superman to save the situation!
"..." Eggsy covered his face with his hands and almost cried in Vardy's car.
Vardy was more panicked than anyone else when he saw the little guy like this. Did he mess up and make the little guy cry? !
"Hello, Mahrez?" Vardy showed his fine tradition at this time - when in trouble, look for teammates. "It's not feasible for me to be Eggsy's father, how about you come?"
It is even more unreliable to let an Algerian teammate pretend to be the little guy's father!
It is conceivable how Mahrez scolded Vardy on the phone after the call was connected!
Although Eggsy didn't hear what was being scolded, but seeing Vardy's face full of despair after being scolded, it was estimated that Mahrez had scolded him without reservation on the phone.
But at this time, it would be useless even if I scolded Vardy to death. I still have to go to this school.
As the agreed time of 3 p.m. was approaching, Eggsy leaned against the car door in exhaustion and hopelessness, then weakly raised his finger to Vardy and pointed forward.
"Let's drive. I'll go to school and admit that I concealed my family situation." Eggsy was completely desperate and had given up.
Vardy didn't seem to want to accept his fate. He wanted to make amends from the bottom of his heart, and said, "I'll go with you. Even if I don't pretend to be your father, I'll just say that I'm your teammate. I'm definitely worthy of being your brother in terms of age! I... should be able to go see your teacher, right?"
Eggsy didn't say anything, feeling that it didn't matter whether Vardy came or not at this time.
Vardy was extremely unconfident when he said this, and he was completely at a loss for what to do with Eggsy's situation. Now that things have come to this, he can only bite the bullet and do it. It's useless to think about anything now.
So, Eggsy and Vardy went to school together. To be honest, Vardy couldn't help but whistle when he looked at the school in front of him, which was full of classical buildings. He felt that first-class universities were indeed different.
They arrived at the right time for class, and the school was empty. Eggsy took Vardy to the teaching staff building, and after explaining the purpose of their visit to the school staff, Eggsy's teacher took him and Vardy directly to the door of the principal's office.
"It's the principal who wants to talk to you this time, Eggsy."
The teacher left after saying this, leaving Eggsy and Vardy, who were shocked and terrified, at the door of the principal's office, blind and helpless like two little animals who had entered a strange world.
To be honest, at this point Eggsy couldn't imagine what he would face, but he didn't expect that before he started shaking with fear, Vardy beside him started shaking before him.
It's not the kind of shaking legs, but the calves are shaking even when standing! Shaking with fear!
Eggsy probably watched for a long time, and in the end, Vardy himself was embarrassed and whispered to defend himself: "I, I am quite scared of the title of principal."
It was the first time that Vardy heard that Vardy was afraid of the principal, so he asked: "Is it because it's the first time?"
But unexpectedly, Vardy's answer surprised Eggsy for a long time.
"No, it's because I've seen it so many times that I remember it clearly."
"Eggsy? Come in!"
Eggsy thought he was ready along the way. He even acted out the scenes in his mind many times, and acted very sincere before the principal spoke, and then directly explained that he had concealed his family situation, and he would accept any punishment the school decided to give him because of this concealment.
When they really pushed open the door of the principal's office, Eggsy was so shocked by the solemn, ancient, and literary atmosphere of the principal's office that he almost choked.
So he forgot the words he had just organized, and he almost shouted to the principal sitting opposite him with tears in his eyes: "Principal, I know I was wrong!"
He suddenly discovered that there was a person sitting on the reception sofa in the principal's office. The person was wearing glasses and had gray hair, and was looking at him with a smile.
"La, la, Mr. Ranieri?"
What is going on?
Eggsy and Vardy were obviously shocked by the head coach's appearance here, and they were a little overwhelmed. Especially Eggsy, he couldn't imagine how Mr. Ranieri, who was so busy, would appear in the principal's office?
"Didn't you get here before me?" Mr. Ranieri did not answer, but asked them: "Why are you here only now?"
Eggsy was stuck, not knowing how to react. On the other hand, although Vardy was sluggish at this time, the function of running a carriage in his mouth was obviously not affected.
"There was some problem with the car on the road..."
Mr. Ranieri didn't say anything, just nodded, and then said to Vardy in a serious tone: "Well, okay, Eggsy thanks Vardy for sending you here. Let him go out and wait for a while. Let's talk to the principal."
Before Eggsy could speak, Vardy quickly opened the door, turned around, nodded to the principal and Mr. Ranieri, and went out immediately!
Eggsy was left alone, facing the principal whose serious face was as hard as marble, and Mr. Ranieri who smiled but made Eggsy tremble.
Eggsy: Ugh...!
