Fox in the Penalty Area

After the school bell rang, the classroom became lively.

Li Qingqing quickly took out the schoolbag she had packed in advance, and walked straight to Hu Lai.

"See you at the old place later." She said to Hu Lai.

Hu Lai was a little surprised: "I can't do special training today..."

"I have something to tell you." Li Qingqing said seriously.

Song Jiajia, who was sitting next to Hu Lai, was busy packing his schoolbag. After hearing this, he paused, then turned his head and cast a surprised look at Hu Lai.

"Uh, okay, but it can't be delayed for too long..." Hu Lai was worried that his father would clean him up if he went back late.

"No, just a few words." Li Qingqing smiled slightly.

Song Jiajia turned her surprised gaze to Li Qingqing again.

In his gaze, Li Qingqing left a smile, then turned and left.

Song Jiajia grabbed Hu Lai: "You are dishonest!"

"Huh?" Hu Lai was confused.

Song Jiajia smiled a bit meanly: "I said why during the competition that day, Li Qingqing kept talking for you..."

Hu Lai opened Song Jiajia's hand in disgust: "Dirty! He is my coach!"

After speaking, he ran out after Li Qingqing's back.

Only then did Song Jiajia realize what Hu Lai had just said.

coach?

What coach?

He wanted to go to Hu Lai again to ask what happened, but he couldn't see Hu Lai anymore.

※※※

When Li Qingqing walked up to Hu Lai, Luo Kai's gaze was fixed on that beautiful figure.

This made him pack his schoolbag a lot slower.

He saw Li Qingqing take the initiative to find Hu Lai, then stood in front of Hu Lai and said something, and Hu Lai had a reluctant expression on his face.

In the end, facing the reluctant Hu Lai, Li Qingqing actually smiled back!

This made Luo Kai a little unhappy.

He asked himself if Li Qingqing had shown such a smile in front of him, he would have been elated long ago. But look at that bastard Holly, how did he do it?

He even felt a little embarrassed!

What an embarrassment for you!

Goddess wants to talk to you, please correct your attitude!

After the two of them said a few words, Li Qingqing left, and after Hu Lai said a word to his tablemate, the big fat man, he also left.

The classroom was very noisy, and Luo Kai couldn't hear the conversation on the other side. He didn't know what Li Qingqing and Hu Lai said, and he didn't know what Hu Lai and his deskmate said.

But he could see the expression.

Look at that fat man's greasy face, what does he mean, everyone is a boy, so I understand in seconds.

His subordinates speeded up, wanting to pack their schoolbags quickly.

At this moment, Li Zhiqun approached with a flattering smile: "Brother Kai, although the list will be announced tomorrow, I still wish you to join the school team in advance..."

Luo Kai is a little annoyed, isn't it normal for him to join the school team? What's there to congratulate? It's the same as how he finally got into the school team.

Joining the school team is only the first step, and his goal is to lead this declining school with a strong football tradition to the national competition.

He nodded casually, didn't stop his hands, hummed, very perfunctory.

But Li Zhiqun didn't see the perfunctory look on Luo Kai's face at all, and he was still talking to Luo Kai, the content was all those old sayings that praised and praised Brother Kai for being awesome, and hoped that Brother Kai could take care of him after entering the school team, Support him more...

But these words fell into the ears of the impatient Luo Kai, but he only felt that they were a little harsh and very annoying.

In the end, he really had no choice but to roughly push Li Zhiqun away: "Okay, I want to go home.

"

But when he picked up his schoolbag and was about to chase him out, how could he see Hu Lai and Li Qingqing in the classroom?

Not only in the classroom, but even in the corridor outside the classroom, there were no two figures.

Luo Kai felt that there seemed to be something between Li Qingqing and Hu Lai before. After all, they always left the classroom one after another after school several times, and it was very regular, three days a week.

Anyone with a normal IQ will probably have associations, right?

However, apart from leaving school one after another three days a week, there are no other things. The two of them didn't have much interaction on campus, just like a normal pair of classmates. After all, there are more than 50 students in a class, and not every classmate will get together. Some may have been classmates for three years, and they can't say a hundred words.

Until today after school, Li Qingqing took the initiative to run to find Hu Lai, and after a few words, the two left one after the other.

He originally wanted to chase them out to see where the two of them had gone, but was dragged back by Li Zhiqun, a blank guy.

He turned his head and glared at Li Zhiqun with an ugly expression.

Li Zhiqun, on the other hand, was at a loss, and didn't understand why he even patted the horse's leg while flattering him.

※※※

Hu Lai and Li Qingqing stood in this secret training base that belonged only to them, looking at each other.

"If you have something to say here, why don't you just find a place to say it? Or on the road..." Hu Lai was still worried that his father would clean him up if he went back late, and his father didn't work overtime today.

Li Qingqing shook her head and said, "No, that's not formal enough."

"Formal?" Hu Lai looked at Li Qingqing suspiciously, and then he thought of Song Jiajia's expression, "You don't want to confess to me, do you? Let me tell you that I can..."

Li Qingqing didn't expect Hu Lai to say that, she said angrily, "What are you thinking!"

Hu Lai quickly patted his chest.

Seeing him like this, Li Qingqing's guilt towards Hu Lai eased a little in his heart - this man is so ruthless!

However, she quickly adjusted her emotions. Anyway, she will be responsible for this unscrupulous person in front of her.

The whole world is not optimistic about him anymore, and I can't just give up on him anyway.

Give yourself a year, give him a year, I believe Hu Lai will be reborn.

At that time, I must let my father know that Hu Lai was taught by myself!

Thinking of this, Li Qingqing straightened up a little, cleared his throat, and said to Hu Lai, "Hu Lai, has anyone told you before that you are talented in football?"

Hu Lai shook his head: "No."

"Ah, then do you know that you are actually very talented." Standing in front of Hu Lai, Li Qingqing said very seriously, looking directly at him.

"Am I talented?" Hu Lai was taken aback for a moment.

"Yes." Seeing that Hu Lai seemed uncertain, Li Qingqing explained. "You scored three goals in that Test match, don't you think you were too lucky?"

Hu Lai laughed loudly and said, "Are you kidding, that's my strength!"

Li Qingqing looked at him quietly.

Under her gaze, Hu Lai's laughter became smaller and smaller. In the end, he scratched his head and said with some gloom: "Well, actually, I also think I'm lucky. I even went to buy a lottery ticket..."

Hearing what Hu Lai said, Li Qingqing smiled and rolled his eyes - he even ran to buy a lottery ticket, this boy is a bit cute...

Then Li Qingqing put away her smile, and said in a serious tone as much as possible: "It's not because of your good luck. Of course, it's partly due to luck. But it's mainly because you have talent in this area."

"So I really have the strength?" Hu Lai asked back uncertainly, he was a little confused by Li Qingqing's turn of events.

Li Qingqing nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

"Then... what is my talent?"

"You know where the goal is." Li Qingqing said with a smile.

"I know...where is the goal...?" Hu Lai didn't quite understand. "How fresh? Who doesn't know where the goal is? Isn't it on both sides of the court? Behind the goal area, on the baseline..."

"No, it's not the same. The goal we know is not the same as the goal you know. Those three balls... those three balls looked like you came out in the open and put the football in very easily. Of course, many people will think that it’s just your luck. But why did you appear in those openings? Why can’t other people find the openings? For example, Li Zhiqun, why didn’t he appear there?” Li Qingqing patiently explained to Hu Lai explained. "You can appear there, it means that you know that those places are empty..."

"No, I don't know, that's the instinct of the body..." Hu Lai shook his head reflexively in denial.

Li Qingqing corrected: "Physical instinct is talent. The space in the penalty area is so small, how difficult it is to have an opening? Isn't the so-called sense of smell in front of the goal the ability to find this opening in the penalty area? If you can appear in the open space, you can form a space." Shot opportunities. Those gaps also show you the direction of the goal, so you can score goals more easily than others... Do you know what a talent that is, Hu Lai?"

Li Qingqing became a little excited while talking.

And Hu Lai stared at her blankly, not understanding why this female classmate suddenly became agitated. It's me who has talent, not you, classmate.

Seeing Hu Lai staring at him blankly, Li Qingqing thought that he hadn't realized how precious his talent was.

So she waved her arms and continued to explain to Hu Lai: "It's like you are in a dark sea, you don't know which direction the land is, how far it is from you, and you can't see if there is a reef next to it. The light from the lighthouse shines on you and illuminates the way to the shore. It allows you to see where the coast is, and there are no rocks on the road... Your talent is the lighthouse! It illuminates the direction of the goal for you!"

When talking about the lighthouse, Li Qingqing stood upright, with his hands outstretched, and leaned back slightly, as if it really was a lighthouse emitting two beams of light.

Then these two beams of light swept over, Li Qingqing tightly grasped Hu Lai's shoulders with both hands, and she also came closer, staring at Hu Lai's eyes that were close at hand, staring at him, and looked at Hu Lai very seriously. He said: "So Hu Lai, you are actually talented, and you are very talented! Because you know where the goal is!"

The two were so close that Hu Lai could even smell the fragrance from the warm girl's breath, and he could clearly see the setting sun behind him reflected in the girl's eyes.

The sunlight flowed and burned in the pair of clear pupils, forming a halo.

The halo seemed to jump out of Li Qingqing's eyes, enveloping him and melting him.

Hu Lai once believed that he had no talent, so his initial goal was only to join the school team. But after he got the cheat, he also had corresponding ambitions, and he thought that he might be able to rely on his career path.

So all this is brought about by plug-ins.

—He thinks so.

But today, a girl told him seriously and excitedly that he is actually talented.

It's not cheating, it's talent.

It was the first time in his sixteen years that he had been told he had talent in football.

He was a little caught off guard.

※※※

When Li Ziqiang returned to his house, he heard his daughter's voice, so he called out, "Qingqing is back?"

But no one answered him.

"Qingqing?" Li Ziqiang called out again as he stood under the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor.

There was still no sound, so there was no motive at all upstairs.

But Li Ziqiang clearly heard his daughter's voice just now.

Feeling strange, Li Ziqiang stepped up the stairs and entered his daughter's room.

The schoolbag is not there, and I really haven't come back.

It seems that he was hallucinating.

A gust of wind blew from the window, blowing the pages of the notebook open on the table rattling.

Seeing this scene, Li Ziqiang shook his head with a smile.

My daughter didn't close the windows when she went to school. What if it rains and the rain falls in and wets the books on the table?

this kid...

So he walked into the room, instead of looking at the book spread out on the desk, he went to the window, ready to close the window for his daughter.

Just as he leaned out to grab the old-fashioned sliding window, his eyes naturally turned to the abandoned space outside the window.

In the middle of the clearing surrounded by weeds, stood a man and a woman.

The two stood very close, almost face to face.

Girls hugging boys.

Her tall figure made Li Ziqiang's pupils shrink suddenly.

That is his daughter.

He looked at the boy who was being embraced by his daughter again, and after staring at his side face for a few seconds, Li Ziqiang remembered that it was the boy who "got shit luck" in the team test match and scored three boy with ball.

His name is a bit special, called...

Holly.

Yes, Holly.

While thinking of this name, Li Ziqiang thought of his daughter who asked him last night if he would recruit Hu Lai into the school team, and the words seemed to be defending...

The smile on Li Ziqiang's face, who was staring at the scene outside the window, had completely disappeared, and his eyes were a bit dark.
