Lin Hai Ting Tao
Chapter 622 Goodbye, Bodyguard (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
***
At the victory celebration in Naples, Chen Hero drank a lot of wine. His teammates took turns toasting him. After all, he was leaving.
"No way, you're leaving, you have to drink this glass!"
"You bastard, you left after winning the championship. You're so ungrateful! Drink this!"
"Hero, I will miss you..."
...
Even with a high alcohol tolerance, he was completely drunk.
In the end, it was Cabrella who drove to pick him up.
"Cabrella, he's all yours!" Cassano pointed at Chen Hero, who was being supported by several teammates behind him. He was one of Chen Hero's teammates who had a relatively close relationship with Cabrella.
Cabrella frowned when she saw Chen Hero so drunk. She had never seen Chen Hero so drunk that he needed to be helped to walk. He was completely limp.
"Don't worry, he's safe now!" Cassano joked with the two of them, and then handed Chen Hero over to Cabrella. He and the other teammates left with ambiguous smiles.
Chen Hero was completely leaning on Cabrella, all ninety-five kilograms of him. However, Cabrella didn't seem to be in much pain. She didn't even frown. She grabbed Chen Hero's arm with one hand, letting it wrap around her neck from behind, resting on her left shoulder. The other hand wrapped around Chen Hero's waist from behind, and she helped Chen Hero into the car.
Chen Hero collapsed on the back seat.
Cabrella closed the car door, then walked to the front to open the driver's side door, climbed back in, started the car, and prepared to start driving.
"Christine..." Chen Hero's voice came from the back seat.
Cabrella glanced at him through the rearview mirror. "Is there anything wrong, Mr. Chen?"
"Are we home yet..." Chen Hero's voice was very weak, intermittent. Obviously, he was not yet sober.
"Not yet, I'm just about to go back."
"Then don't..."
There was a rustling sound from behind Cabrella. Cabrella glanced again and saw Chen Hero struggling to get up from the back seat. Then he grabbed the back of the driver's seat with one hand and leaned his whole body forward.
"Let's go see the sea!" He stretched out his other hand and pointed forward, shouting loudly with a mouthful of alcohol.
Cabrella didn't object or express surprise. She nodded. "Okay." At the same time, she turned on the turn signal.
The car drove through the narrow streets of Naples. Chen Hero opened the car window, and the wind rushed in, blowing his hair and flushed face.
He stared at the street scenes flashing by on both sides of the road, without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
***
The car weaved through the narrow streets and dirty districts of Naples. The revelry continued, and the streets and alleys were full of people. Every tavern and pizzeria was still open, brightly lit and bustling with activity. Many drunk fans leaned against streetlights and telephone poles on the side of the road, or passionately embraced the people around them, whether they were men or women...
The whole city seemed to be drunk.
The black Land Rover shuttled through the colorful city, through the joyous crowds, and then drove out of the city.
Although the name is "Bay of Naples," it is not actually on the edge of Naples, but in Sorrento.
Cabrella drove the car directly to a pier. There were still some boats parked here, but most of the yachts had already sailed out to sea. Overall, the pier was relatively empty.
Sorrento is a small city near Naples, built on a mountain, almost on the mountainside of Mount Vesuvius. The streets are full of outdoor cafes and bars. The aroma of coffee is mixed with the faint salty taste in the sea breeze, which is very special.
However, the business of the cafes didn't seem to be very good today, and there weren't many people on the streets. Because on this night, most people went to the main urban area of Naples to participate in the celebration parade for the team winning the Champions League.
It seemed a bit deserted here.
It doesn't matter, less deserted is less interference.
After Cabrella stopped the car, Chen Hero got out of the car first and leaned against it. Cabrella got out of the driver's seat and stood next to him.
The two looked at the deep blue Mediterranean Sea at the same time.
"I don't think I've ever come here to see the sea..." Chen Hero said suddenly. "I've been in Naples for three years, but I haven't really paid attention to what this city looks like. They all say it's a tourist destination, but it's obviously not like that for me."
Perhaps because he had drunk too much, Chen Hero was talking more. No one asked him, but he just talked to himself.
"Are you from Naples?"
"Yes." Cabrella nodded.
"Do you like Naples?"
He thought Cabrella would nod. Most locals are particularly proud and proud of their city, especially in Naples.
But Cabrella shook her head. "I can't say I like it."
"Then you hate it?"
"I can't say I hate it either."
Chen Hero was used to Cabrella's way of talking, so he didn't continue to dwell on the question of like or dislike.
"It's really beautiful now..." he said, looking at the sea, but the second half of his sentence revealed that he was still a vulgar person after all.
"But it's just the same thing after looking at it for a long time."
So he didn't continue to stare at the sea, but turned to look at Cabrella beside him.
No matter what, Cabrella always stood beside him like this—slightly behind him. She was truly a responsible bodyguard.
In order to see the other person clearly, Chen Hero twisted his body around.
"I'm leaving soon, don't you have anything to say?"
"I wish you good luck in Liverpool, Mr. Chen," Cabrella said calmly.
Chen Hero sighed.
"I have a request before I leave, you must agree to it." He stared straight at Cabrella.
Cabrella just blinked her eyes and didn't say anything.
"If you don't speak, I'll take it as you've agreed," Chen Hero said, pointing at Cabrella.
Cabrella said, "A hug?" Then she opened her arms. Obviously, she didn't object to hugging Chen Hero.
Chen Hero took a step forward and really hugged Cabrella, but the next second he kissed Cabrella's lips!
Cabrella was so shocked that her eyes widened, but that was her only reaction. She didn't angrily push Chen Hero away, or simply give him an over-the-shoulder throw. Some women would even slap him in the face.
She didn't do anything except widen her eyes.
She remained in her previous posture, with her arms open and her body straight.
***
Chen Hero kissed her for a long time, fueled by alcohol, but he still had some reason. He didn't stick his tongue out to pry open her teeth...
When he let go of Cabrella, both he and Cabrella were flushed, and their breathing was uneven.
He looked at Cabrella opposite him, panting.
The beautiful female bodyguard lowered her head slightly, her eyelids drooping, and her eyelashes trembled slightly in the sea breeze.
"Thank you, Christine. Naples is not a beautiful city at all, but because of you, it has become a place worth keeping in my heart," Chen Hero said. "Okay, I've seen enough of the sea, let's go back, Christine!"
After speaking, he took the lead to open the car door and jumped into the car. Judging from his agile movements, he didn't seem drunk at all.
He closed the car door forcefully and lay down on the back seat. His heart was actually beating very fast. The reason why he escaped so quickly was because he was afraid that Cabrella would react and beat him up. Although he had learned a few moves from Cabrella, the apprentice still couldn't beat the master...
Cabrella stood outside the car for a while before opening the car door and getting in.
When she got into the car, she heard snoring from the back seat. Looking through the rearview mirror, she saw Chen Hero had already collapsed on the seat, seemingly asleep...

This night was a sleepless night for Naples. Many people partied all night, celebrating the club's first Champions League title in history.
The aftermath of this revelry was that Naples was filled with garbage and vomit that night. When everyone opened their doors in the morning, they could only see a mess on the ground.
Especially on the Town Hall Square, which was full of things thrown down by the fans.
Many people simply slept until noon.
At this time, Chen Hero had already arrived at Naples International Airport with Cabrella to see him off. Accompanying them was Chen Hero's agent, De Kula. He was here specifically to deal with Chen Hero's belongings left in Naples, which ones to take away and which ones to leave behind, he knew clearly. And Chen Hero would start his vacation undisturbed.
This time his vacation destination was... China!
After seeing Chen Hero off at the airport, the contractual relationship between Cabrella and Chen Hero also ended. She regained her freedom and returned to the bodyguard company she belonged to.
Chen Hero ultimately failed to take Cabrella to England.
De Kula and Cabrella returned to the parking lot together.
"Not taking you to Liverpool, I think Hero must be very unwilling even when he leaves?" De Kula said suddenly, looking at the flow of people outside the airport.
"I'm just his bodyguard," Cabrella replied.
De Kula turned to look at her and smiled. "Do you really think so?"
Cabrella nodded. "I think so." When she said this, she blinked her eyes, and then moved her gaze away imperceptibly.
"At least in Hero's eyes, you're not, or rather, not just that." He seemed to want to say something else, but in the end he waved his hand. "Forget it, anyway, he's gone, and we don't know if you two will ever meet again in the future. There's no point in saying these things..." He opened the car door. "Where are you going? Home or to the company?"
Cabrella had just opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by the roar of an airplane. She looked up, and an airplane rose into the blue sky, the wind blowing her short hair into a mess.
She looked up at the plane in the sky in a daze.
