[Football] After My Son's Teammate Proposed to Me

[Angsty romance, romance is the main plot, not much football]

As the saying goes, a widow's doorstep is never free of gossip.

Ning Fu may be a single mother living in Spain, but she's always been proper. Usually, she dates only one man per team, and never two men from the same country at once.

The problem is, there's always some man trying to force his way into her life...

Ning Fu, Spanish, single mother.

2026 should have been a summer full of hope.

Her son got the first-team contract he'd always dreamed of.

Her country won the World Cup for the first time in ages.

And the winning goal was even scored by the boyfriend everyone kept calling a pretty useless player.

Everything was wonderful. Her only worry was choosing an island for their vacation.

Until one of her son's teammates proposed to her on a livestream.

The problem was, that teammate wasn't the man she'd been dating.

Worse still, her ex-husband, all the way over at Real Madrid, decided to join in.

-

Toni Kroos, well into his thirties, ten years at Real Madrid, and still being begged by fans and the club's executives to sign on for one more year.

2026 was such a terrible summer that he wanted to retire on the spot.

They lost the cup to the neighbors.

They lost the league to the neighbors.

They even lost the World Cup, and the neighbors won that, too.

Even his wife was being proposed to by the neighbors one after another...

Why retire now?

Renew the contract!

Get back up and fight for another year!

1. Inspired by watching the World Cup. The pairing is Toni Kroos.

2. Planning to write the Courtois-Rodrygo-Bellingham love triangle (fiery winter version), Master Kuan's pure-love route (Japanese-style version), and a mystery line featuring four male guests!

3. A chaotic, evil, fun story! Chaotic! Evil! It can be very jarring! The timeline may get scrambled for the sake of romance.

4. Attention! Attention! Planning to write a familial-love storyline for Courtois-Rodrygo-Bellingham.
