Fox in the Penalty Area

Hu Lai (Grade 1 and Class 2)

In the last row of this list, there is only such a name, which alone but stubbornly occupies the entire row.

On the white paper, the bold red characters are very conspicuous.

It's "Hu Lai", not "Hu Cai", and it's not "Hu Lai". There is only one Hu Lai in the first and second classes of senior high school.

There were howls and sighs of disappointment from those who were determined not to be selected.

But more people are staring at the name dumbfounded.

Some of them were thinking, "Who is this Hu Lai from Class One and Two?!"

Others were wondering "why the kid who got lucky?!"

After the tall Mao Xiao saw the name on the list, he couldn't help laughing, and said to his companions: "How about it, look at what I said, he really entered the school team!"

And his companions were already stunned, and no one responded to his words.

Because of Mao Xiao, they all knew the existence of Hu Lai, but they couldn't understand why such a person entered the school team.

In their minds, there are many people who are more qualified to enter the school team than Hu Lai.

Could it be that this is also part of luck?

This person... is a person of strong luck? !

Lucky enough to score a hat-trick in that game, lucky enough to make the varsity team with that performance?

After Li Ziqiang posted the notice, he did not rush away, but stood beside the notice, looking at the students with different expressions.

He found that many people's eyes were moving back and forth between List and Hu Lai, with complicated eyes.

None of them seemed to understand why Hu Lai was the last person on the school team.

No one cared why he, the head coach of the school team, hadn't left yet, and no one came up to ask him why he chose Hu Lai.

Everyone seemed to be scared stupid.

Li Ziqiang was not surprised by this scene at all. When he made the decision to put Hu Lai on the list, he was already mentally prepared and imagined what would happen.

Because even he himself thought it was too incredible...

Then he turned his attention to his daughter.

Obviously, his daughter still didn't notice his fatherly eyes.

She first looked at the list in astonishment, with doubt and surprise on her face. Then she cast her eyes on Hu Lai, and a hard smile appeared on her face, her eyes bent into crescent moons.

As a father, Li Ziqiang admits that he rarely sees his daughter such a happy smile.

His eyes turned to the little man, and he was completely unaware of his daughter's eyes.

Li Ziqiang's face became even more gloomy.

※※※

Li Qingqing really didn't expect that the last spot belonged to Hu Lai. Although she expected a miracle to happen before the exam, when the miracle really happened, she still felt incredible for the first time.

Didn't dad personally say that Hu Lai still can't meet the standards for entering the school team?

Why did you bring him in again?

Could it be that what I said to my father played a role?

Although Dad didn't admit it with his mouth at the time, he seriously considered his opinion in his heart?

Thinking of this, she looked at Hu Lai with a smile on her face.

No matter what the reason is, it's good to be in the school team, it's good to be in.

Although the one-year training plan I prepared is no longer available, my father's training level is definitely higher than my own, which is a good thing for Hu Lai.

She can also rest assured that she doesn't have to feel sorry for others.

When she thought of this, she was very pleased.

As for whether Hu Lai, who was worried about her in the morning, would get carried away with complacency, she had long forgotten about it.

Now that they're all in the school team, who cares about those crap...

Li Qingqing didn't go up to congratulate Hu Lai,

Instead, he turned and left the announcement wall.

She already knew what she wanted to know the most, and got the perfect answer. With a relaxed mood, she walked cheerfully towards the teaching building, her ponytail flicking behind her head.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the noon sun seems to be much brighter.

Li Ziqiang just watched his daughter bouncing all the way into the teaching building of the first year of high school.

Then he also turned and left the lively announcement wall.

Luo Kai was still leaning on the railing, he didn't pay attention to what happened in the small square below, and he didn't care whether he was on that list, his eyes had already turned to the end of the corridor.

A bright figure was coming out of the stairwell there.

Obviously everyone was wearing the yellow-blue sweatshirt school uniform uniformly distributed by the school, but only the school uniform Li Qingqing was wearing was shining brightly under the sunlight, and the yellow part reflected the sunlight, making her whole body glow. Dazzling golden yellow brilliance.

Just like the Holy Light.

Now the light danced and flickered toward him from the dark stairwell.

When it was close enough, Luo Kai saw the smile on Li Qingqing's face.

This smile is very contagious, and everyone who sees it seems to be happy with it.

Even Luo Kai couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Noticing Luo Kai who had been staring at her, Li Qingqing greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Luo Kai."

"Ah...you, hello, Li Qingqing..."

The "prince" who always performed well in front of other girls is now stuttering.

Facing the somewhat embarrassed boy, Li Qingqing smiled slightly and flashed into the classroom.

Luo Kai was still immersed in Li Qingqing's smile to him, and it took a long time to recall it—why is Li Qingqing so happy?

Could it be...

A thought popped into his mind.

Then he saw Li Zhiqun appearing in the corridor in a daze, his walking posture was even a little unsteady and unsteady, and then he just walked in front of him and wanted to enter the classroom.

This made Luo Kai a little puzzled. In the past, whenever Li Zhiqun saw him, he would never walk away without saying hello.

Although sometimes, Luo Kai felt that Li Zhiqun's dog-legs annoyed him, but it also made Luo Kai unhappy when he ignored him like this.

So he opened his mouth to stop the other party: "Hey, Li..."

At this moment, a loud voice from a distance interrupted him: "Li Zhiqun!!"

※※※

If there is a mirror in front of Li Zhiqun now, then he must be able to vividly understand what the expression is called "like a mourning concubine".

Unfortunately, there is no such mirror.

He'd wanted to see that look on Hu Lai's face, but all he could see now was smugness.

He stood at the back door of the classroom of Grade 1 and 2, and looked at Hu Lai and Song Jiajia who were walking towards him without recognition.

When he saw the name on the list, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind was full of question marks.

How could it be Hu Lai?

Why not me?

Why is it Hu Lai?

Why not me? !

Why is that bastard? !

How can he be selected for the school team? !

Surrounded by question marks and exclamation marks, he didn't even know how he left that noisy place and returned to the classroom.

He didn't remember what happened along the way, and even Luo Kai didn't see it.

Until he was suddenly awakened by the triumphant voice behind him.

While he was in a daze, Hu Lai and Song Jiajia had already walked in front of him, and the former stretched out his hand and stretched out to him: "It's time to fulfill your promise, Li Zhiqun."

Li Zhiqun stared at Hu Lai blankly, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Hu Lai asked: "Why? You don't want to renege on your debt, do you, Li Zhiqun? I'm in the school team, and you lose a hundred dollars to me!"

Hearing what Hu Lai said, there was an uproar in the classroom—many students didn't know the result until this time, and that kid Hu Lai actually joined the school team! ?

Many people looked at Hu Lai with strange eyes.

Looking at Hu Lai, who is a villain in front of him, the grief and indignation in Li Zhiqun's heart cannot be added - how could I be inferior to this bastard? !

He didn't want to just bow his head to Hu Lai and admit defeat, especially in front of the whole class—with Hu Lai's voice, everyone turned their eyes now.

The most important thing is that he can't come up with a hundred yuan.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "What account? It was your own wishful thinking in the beginning. When did I say I want to bet with you?"

Before Hu Lai could speak, Song Jiajia who was standing next to him became anxious: "Wow, Li Zhiqun, you are too shameless!"

"What's wrong with me? What evidence do you have? Let me tell you, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. You say that I made a bet with you, and you show the evidence!" Li Zhiqun broke the jar, and he closed his mouth Eyes yelled loudly. He was sure that Hu Lai and Song Jiajia couldn't produce any evidence, after all, they couldn't make audio or video recordings at that time.

Since there is no evidence, as long as he bites to death and does not let go, he will die without evidence.

Hu Lai was not very surprised, but laughed instead: "Well, it's really you, Li Zhiqun! I knew you would renege..."

Li Zhiqun's face was grim: "Don't talk about what you have and what you don't have, don't talk nonsense without proof! Who is repudiated? I didn't even agree to bet with you. Why are you orgasming here alone?"

"Shameless!" Song Jiajia scolded angrily.

"Who is shameless? Are you crazy about money? Spit your mouth! Say I'll bet on you, show me the evidence! Do you think a hundred dollars is a decimal? Can you bet on it casually? Take it out!" Bring the evidence! Otherwise, you will be framed!"

Li Zhiqun shouted louder and louder, attracting more attention. Although many people have seen and heard their bet in the classroom this morning, so far, no one has come forward, which makes Li Zhiqun very proud - this fully shows how bad Hu Lai's popularity is! No one is willing to speak for him!

Thinking of this, Li Zhiqun's bad mood improved a bit. This may be his only consolation today...

But at this moment.

"I can testify." A tall figure stood up from his seat, looked at Li Zhiqun at the door of the classroom, and said in a crisp voice.

She also held a mobile phone in her hand.

"I have a video of your bet with Hu Lai this morning. Do you want to show it to you?"

She stared at Li Zhiqun with sparkling eyes.

Everyone in the classroom turned their surprised eyes to Li Qingqing who stood up. They didn't expect Li Qingqing to stand up to speak for Hu Lai, and they didn't expect Li Qingqing to record a video...

Luo Kai also stared blankly at Li Qingqing.

It was she who stood up for Hu Lai...

Li Zhiqun was also very surprised by Li Qingqing's appearance, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Of course, he couldn't use the attitude he used to deal with Hu Lai and Song Jiajia to attack Li Qingqing, because he knew very well what Kai Ge's attitude towards Li Qingqing...

He could only hold back his breath, then turned around and gave Hu Lai and Song Jiajia a hard look, and walked back to his seat.

He didn't pick up on that bet again, and planned to be a coward completely.

Anyway, if I don't give the money, can Hu Lai and Song Jiajia still pounce on him and grab it directly from him?

Hey, that's of a different nature!

Luo Kai no longer paid attention to the grievances between Li Zhiqun and Hu Lai, he stared blankly at Li Qingqing.

She is concerned about whether Hu Lai can enter the school team.

When Hu Lai was selected for the school team, she smiled so happily.

When Hu Lai and Li Zhiqun were arguing, she was the only one who stood up to speak for Hu Lai.

The combination of these three things confirmed the question in his heart.

Li Qingqing and Hu Lai are definitely not ordinary classmates!
