Fox in the Penalty Area

Xie Lan was sitting on the sofa with her mobile phone in hand. She had just watched the highlight video of her son's semi-final match in the national competition.

Her son's reaching the final did not make her happy, but worried her.

Because before reaching the finals, the husband asked himself why it had been so long and his son hadn't come back yet.

Although I used an excuse to evade it at the time, it didn't mean that my husband's suspicion could be completely dispelled.

Now that Dongchuan Middle School has entered the final, she just checked the time of the final, and it will kick off at four o'clock in the afternoon next Monday.

And today is Friday, which means that even if the team returns the next day after the game, there will still be five days before the son returns home.

It has been more than two weeks since my son went out.

For such a long time, what activities can't be finished? Summer camp should be over, right?

What if the husband doubts again? What excuse can I find?

If the husband finds out that his son is playing football, it will be over...

Xie Lan is too aware of her husband's temper and resentment towards football.

At this moment, she heard the sound of the door being unlocked, so she quickly put away her mobile phone, then got up and pretended to go to the kitchen to cook.

At the same time, he said to the back without turning his head, "You're back?"

Keep your tone as calm and natural as possible.

"Hmm." Her husband's dull voice sounded from behind.

"I'm going to cook..."

"Wait a minute."

Xie Lan stopped unexpectedly, and turned to look at her husband: "What are you doing? Are you not hungry?"

Only then did she realize that Hu Lixin was standing at the door, looking straight at her, which made her feel a little... terrified.

"What's wrong?" Xie Lan asked with a smile.

"I suddenly thought of a question, why hasn't Hu Lai come home yet?"

Xie Lan heard this question,

My heart skipped a beat, because my husband only asked this question two days ago, and I was fooled by myself at that time. But within a short period of time, he asked such a question again, and Xie Lan had to think about it. Maybe he wasn't simply expressing doubts...

"Didn't you ask before?" Xie Lan forced his composure.

"Because I called the school to ask, the social practice activities of the science and technology group have already ended." Hu Lixin raised his mobile phone.

If there was a thunder explosion outside the window at this time, Xie Lan would not feel that there was any violation.

Because there was already a thunder in her heart.

"Did he go to play football? To play that national competition?" Hu Lixin asked, staring at his wife.

"Yes..." Xie Lan understood that her husband should know everything at this time, so she no longer concealed it, and nodded directly.

"You know how my injury came about. You also know that because I play football, I need education and no education, and I need ability but no ability. I can only be a security guard until now..."

Although Hu Lixin's voice was not loud, Xie Lan could already hear the suppressed anger in his voice, because he gritted his teeth and said the last words about being a security guard.

"You know it all, Xie Lan. Then why do you still indulge him to play football, and help him hide it from me?!"

Facing her angry husband, Xie Lan lowered her hands and sighed, "That's why I said you never cared about your son."

"What does this have to do with whether I care about him or not..."

"Of course it has something to do with it!" Xie Lan suddenly raised his voice, "Since he started playing football, his body has also become stronger, and the most important thing is that he has more and more smiles on his face...he is happier than before, that's why I I want to let him continue to play football. He is always timid in front of you, and he loses any confidence if he continues like this. But football can make him gain confidence. Now he can score goals in national competitions. Being able to talk freely when interviewed by reporters, and he still has fans online... Isn’t that good?”

"What's so good about this? It's all fake! The confidence is fake, the exposure is fake, and the fans are fake!" Hu Lixin said angrily, "Except for being injured, everything is fake! He doesn't understand at all Cruelty of football!"

"Hu Lixin! You don't want to become a football victim yourself, just be so paranoid! He just plays football in the school team, exercises his body, and participates in a football match between middle school students. How cruel can it be?" Xie Lan also said. Angry, she looked directly at her husband without flinching. "It's nothing more than the cruelty of losing! Besides, he can only play until the second year of high school. I have already told him that he will quit the school's football team in the third year of high school and concentrate on preparing for the exam. What else do you want?"

"Did you quit the team in the third year of high school? Did you not care about your son's recent situation?" Hu Lixin snorted coldly, "He said he wanted to be a professional player!"

How could Xie Lan not know that his son had said this? She has been secretly paying attention to her son's performance behind her husband's back, and naturally saw what her son said in the interview.

But she felt that it was just the child's wishful thinking and a beautiful longing, which didn't mean it could be realized.

"It's just talking, can you definitely do it if you talk about it? Didn't you say that it is not so easy to become a professional player?" She asked rhetorically.

"Don't deceive yourself, Xie Lan. Let me tell you, Hu Lai will never give up football easily. You let him taste the sweetness for two years. How could he obediently listen to you and quit football when he was in his third year of high school?" Team, don’t touch football for a year, and then concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination?”

"So what? Even if he really went to play professional football, so what?"

"So what? We didn't borrow so much money to let him play football! Otherwise, why are we in debt? You think I want to stay up three nights a week! You think I stay up late just like eating Is it the same as drinking water?!"

Faced with her husband's rhetorical question, Xie Lan gritted her teeth and remained silent, unable to refute, because she knew that her husband had really worked hard to pay off the debt, and she also felt sorry for her husband who continued to stay up all night and work overtime.

"Every time I was on duty at night, it turned out to be when he was training at the school...Why did I have to suffer? Couldn't I have said that I wouldn't borrow the 350,000 yuan? You think I'm willing to borrow money? I'll just say it Come on, Xie Lan, do you know who I borrowed the money from?"

"Isn't it your former teammate..." Xie Lan asked suspiciously.

"Oh, I lost contact with them a long time ago, and I can't even find anyone. Where can I borrow money?" Hu Lixin sneered, "I borrowed money from your elder brother!"

Xie Lan opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot.

"I know that your relatives over there look down on me. Yes, who told me that I have no education and can't make money? That's why I don't want Hu Lai to follow my old path! I am a foreigner and have no relatives or friends here. Your eldest brother has money, but you fell out with them, so it is impossible to ask them to borrow money, so I am the only one. It is not a big deal to be laughed at by them, and I am used to it as a security guard... as long as I can borrow Just get the money."

Although Hu Lixin said it lightly, Xie Lan, who knew her elder brother very well, could still imagine what kind of trouble her husband had encountered from his elder brother. The money was borrowed, but it was definitely not like what he said, it was just a few jokes...

"If I knew you were going to borrow money from him, I would rather not let Hu Lai go to Dongchuan Middle School..." Xie Lan complained. "If you don't go to Dongchuan Middle School, you won't be able to enter the university? Besides, what's the benefit of making you uncomfortable, making me uncomfortable, and making our son uncomfortable?"

"What's the benefit? As long as he can be admitted to a university, learn an ideal major, and find a good job when he comes out, that's the biggest benefit!"

"Is it okay to make everyone unhappy because of this?"

"Happy? I used to be very happy when I played football, but do you think I am happy now? I am in my forties, and there is only one old man, and I have not achieved anything until now... My parents have passed away for so many years Yes, how many times have I gone back to see them? Why didn’t I go back to the grave? Because I feel ashamed! I’m ashamed to see them! Now I regret that I didn’t listen to my dad, go to school seriously, and insist on playing football... Did you play something? I practiced for more than ten years, and I didn’t even play a professional game, so I retired! I wasted the opportunity to go to school and wasted my most precious youth time. , What did you get back in the end? Get back the knee that hurts when it’s rainy! Why should I support him to play football?! Can’t find a good job so that he will be injured like me in the future?!”

Hu Lixin yelled at his wife emotionally.

Xie Lan knew how much it would be a huge blow and stimulus to her husband to end up like this because of playing football, so she really couldn't argue with her husband anymore, so she could only sigh: "I'm going to cook... "

After speaking, he turned and went into the kitchen.

Hu Lixin was still standing at the door. He was so emotional just now that he felt that the blood supply to his head was insufficient, and he was a little dizzy. He leaned back slightly on the door panel, and his chest heaved violently.

With heavy breathing, he slowly closed his eyes.
