Fox in the Penalty Area

1st

When Hulay's car approached the gate of the Madrid Pirates training base, the fans who were originally on both sides of the road poured onto the road excitedly.

Fortunately, Hu Lai was prepared and slowed down the car in advance.

Or maybe the fans rushed onto the road after seeing him slow down.

However, they did not completely block Hu Lai's path, but ran on both sides of the car.

At the same time, he shouted loudly to Hu Lai in the car:

"Mr. Golden Ball! Mr. Golden Ball! Mr. Golden Ball!"

Hu Lai in the car waved to them with a smile and slowly moved the car closer to the gate.

The cheers didn't go away until he drove into the training base.

This scene appeared in the evening news report.

Li Qingqing turned to look at the picture on the TV screen and joked: "How do you feel, Mr. Golden Ball?"

"I was really scared at first, and I thought it was a bit exaggerated," Hu Lai said. "Then I told them about it in the locker room. The captain told me that I was the first to win the Ballon d'Or while playing for the Pirates...I understood why they were so excited."

"Yes, you are not only the first in China and Asia, but also the first among pirates." Li Qingqing said.

"Later the club came to me, hoping to get my authorization."

"What authorization?"

"I gave my permission for them to make a copy of my Ballon d'Or trophy, and then they would put the copy in the club's room of honor."

"Did you agree?"

"I agreed. Anyway, I will put the replica. If I put the original, I won't agree. The original will have to be left to my mother."

Xie Lan made peace with her son before Hulay won the Ballon d'Or. If he wins the award, the trophy will definitely be placed in a museum.

So after Hu Lai and Li Qingqing returned to Madrid from Frankfurt, they asked Song Jiajia to take a photo of the two of them holding trophies at home and posted it on social media. The two most important trophies and other trophies were all taken by Song Jiajia and His assistant was returned to China in human form.

Although Hu Lai's villa in Madrid has a lot of advanced security technology, for Xie Lan, no matter how high-tech it is, it is not as high as the sense of security given to her at home - she often sees those who say that a certain star is out competing. , and then the news that the house was stolen.

So she always couldn't wait to ask Song Jiajia to help bring those trophies, medals and other human flesh back to China, and then put them in the temporary exhibition room in the community where she lived.

For this reason, Song Jiajia traveled frequently between Spain and China, and thanks to the trophy, she had a lot of Xie Lan's hometown dishes, which was a real treat.

"There is a joke on the Internet that your museum may not be built yet, and the design plan will have to be revised." Li Qingqing laughed.

"Why?" Hu Lai asked curiously.

"Because I'm afraid I won't let it go enough."

Hu Lai waved his hand: "That won't happen...unless you put your trophy in too. Hey, why don't you consider putting your trophy in too?"

Li Qingqing laughed: "Husbands and wives are buried together, what do you think? Married couples are buried together?"

"Why not?"

Li Qingqing said seriously: "Not now. Now we are just boyfriend and girlfriend, but not real husband and wife, so it is impossible for my trophy to be put in your museum. And... why must it be put in your museum? I want it Put it in my museum too!”

Hu Lai slapped her hands: "My mother is really good at predicting things!"

"ah?"

"She told me that in the museum project, a special piece of land has been set aside, just waiting to build a museum for you! When the time comes, our museums will be next to each other, and it will be a great deal to visit both museums with one ticket!"

"What else did mom say?"

"My mother also said..." Hu Lai paused, "She asked us when we plan to get married?"

The room suddenly became quiet.

Li Qingqing said nothing.

Hu Lai looked at her and then asked: "Your father...coach, are you still unwilling?"

Li Qingqing shook his head: "He didn't say whether he was willing or not. Of course, I didn't dare to ask. I think it's good that he didn't object to me being with you. I don't dare to push the envelope."

"So you actually don't know what he is thinking?"

"Um……"

"Okay, I understand." Hu Lai nodded, "I'll ask myself the next time I go back."

"Ah?" Li Qingqing was a little surprised.

"I can't ask you to ask me about this kind of thing, right? I'll ask you when this season is over and I return to China."

Hearing Hu Lai's words, a smile gradually appeared on Li Qingqing's face. She nodded and said, "Okay."

But then she frowned again: "No, you better not ask after this season is over..."

"Why?" Hu Lai was puzzled.

"There will be a World Cup next summer and I don't want to affect your condition."

"Hey, what's the impact of this..."

Before Hu Lai could finish his words, he was interrupted firmly by Li Qingqing: "It won't work anyway."

"Okay... I'll say hello after the World Cup!" Hu Lai stopped insisting upon seeing this.

"Yeah." Li Qingqing didn't object this time.

"But before that I have to ask you..." Hu Lai looked at Li Qingqing and asked word by word, "Qingqing, will you marry me?"

"I do!" Li Qingqing answered decisively without hesitation, and then she asked: "What about you? Are you willing to marry me, Hu Lai?"

"Of course I do!"

The same answer was decisive and without hesitation.

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"I feel like we can save money on the officiant on our wedding." Hu Lai joked.

"The wedding..." Li Qingqing looked up at the ceiling, "It feels so far away."

"Have you ever thought about what your wedding will be like?" Hu Lai asked curiously.

"No." Li Qingqing shook his head.

"No?" Hu Lai didn't believe it. "Isn't it said that girls all fantasize about their own weddings?"

"Who did you listen to?" Li Qingqing rolled her eyes at Hu Lai. "How could I have such thoughts when I was a child? When I am older and train and compete every day, I would never have imagined it. Do you think the training in a professional football school is just playing house? The amount of training is very heavy, and you don't even have to take a shower when you return to the dormitory every day. If you don’t want to wash, you can just fall asleep..."

After hearing this, Hu Lai interpreted the content differently.

He widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "So I am your first love?!"

Li Qingqing didn't expect Hu Lai's angle to be so tricky. He didn't follow him at first. After he realized what he was doing, he blushed and said, "So what?!"

"No, no." Hu Lai waved his hands repeatedly. "You are also my first love!"

This time it was Li Qingqing's turn to stare wide-eyed: "You lied!"

Hu Lai pointed at his face: "Do you think a girl can like me like this?"

Li Qingqing quickly explained: "No... Oh, I mean you haven't liked anyone else before?"

"Really not." Hu Lai also shook his head, "All I could think about was football. Girls were not interested in me, and I was not interested in them either."

Li Qingqing thought about the first time he met Hu Lai. The man in front of him could only think about how to steal the ball from his feet, making excuses, pretending to be pitiful, and doing whatever he could.

He really loves football and his success is a given.

So why do I like him?

It is precisely because of the light in his eyes about football...

Li Qingqing thought so, supported her chin with her hand, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the man in front of her with a smile.

Overlapping with the image of the boy in his memory, his appearance has changed slightly, but his temperament has not changed at all.

"What are you looking at?" Hu Lai asked strangely.

"You always say that you are lucky to meet me. But Hu Lai, I am also lucky to meet you." Li Qingqing did not answer the question directly, but said this.

"When I returned to Dongchuan from Quanshun Football School with my father and transferred to Dongchuan Middle School, I had almost given up on football. If I hadn't met you, maybe I would have concentrated on studying and not done so well in the exam. University, and then find a not-so-good job after graduation..."

Li Qingqing told the story of the past, which was a journey she had never mentioned to others.

How could Li Qingqing, the hope of China's women's football team and the number one star of the world's women's football team, have such a decadent past?

But there really is.

She did have hesitations about whether to continue playing football.

Until she met the clumsy soccer kid in the backyard of her new home.

"When I saw how much you loved football, I thought... People like you have never thought of giving up, so why should I give up?"

Hu Lai was quite moved at first, but when he heard Li Qingqing's words, he looked confused: "What the hell? A person like me? What am I like?"

"Is the body disabled but the mind strong?"

Hu Lai: "Hey..."

Li Qingqing didn't hold back and burst into laughter: "Just kidding, just kidding... But I really thank you, Hu Lai. Because of you..."

Hu Lai then asked: "Warm the four seasons?"

"???"

This time it was Li Qingqing's turn to be emotionally incoherent...

PS, I will start updating orders tomorrow. Although the epidemic in Chengdu is still there, it has been basically controlled and there is no lockdown. As long as you have nucleic acid, you can go out, so I decided to take my wife and children to play.

Therefore, there will be only one update starting from tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding!
