Fox in the Penalty Area

When Li Qingqing opened her eyes from the bed, she turned her head to look out the window, and then froze.

Only three and a half days had passed since the injury, and every night when she was sleeping, she would wake up several times from the pain, and then fell asleep again in exhaustion and sleepiness.

I have a lot of dreams between half asleep and half awake.

By dawn, her pajamas were often wet with sweat—a very hard sleep.

Sleeping has even become a kind of torture for her.

But today, she opened her eyes and found that it was already bright outside, and suddenly realized that she slept until dawn last night!

No leg pain? !

Li Qingqing stretched out her hand to pinch the injured part, and then took a deep breath—it still hurts when pinched hard.

It's just... when you don't touch it, you don't feel any pain at all, as if you haven't been injured.

But then when she tried to exert strength on her right leg, she realized that she was indeed still injured-there was still a state where she could not exert strength.

The injury is still there, and it did not recover overnight.

But Li Qingqing was already very happy to be able to sleep well until dawn.

And the change made her suddenly have some confidence in the prospect of recovering from her injury.

She thought of what Hu Lai said to herself.

Didn't he make this thing out of Vaseline himself?

Was it really an old Chinese medicine doctor who gave him a prescription?

really work?

Not a placebo?

Li Qingqing sat on the bed, lost in thought.

"Qingqing, are you awake?" Dad's voice came from outside the door, waking Li Qingqing out of his contemplation.

"I just woke up, Dad." Li Qingqing said as she took off her sweat-soaked pajamas and changed into dry clothes.

When she opened the door, Dad had already served breakfast on the table, and when he saw her coming out, he said, "Go wash up."

Li Qingqing didn't move, but said to her father: "Dad, my legs didn't hurt when I slept last night!"

Li Ziqiang held the boiled eggs just out of the pot in his hand. He didn't feel it was hot, and turned his head to look at his daughter in surprise.

Luo Kai is extremely depressed now, he doesn't have Li Qingqing's contact information, even though he knows that Li Qingqing is in Shanhai, but Shanhai is so big, he doesn't know where Li Qingqing is.

And although the first half of the league has been played, he can't leave the team yet because the team has to continue training.

At this time, he couldn't even ask for leave with the head coach Pan Hongwei.

What reason did he take to ask for leave?

Will a fake head coach be approved?

How will the head coach look at himself after the approval?

After finally being favored by the head coach in the South China Sea team, if he asks for leave and leaves the team, will his hard work in the past be in vain?

I couldn't contact Li Qingqing, and I couldn't run to find Li Qingqing.

Luo Kai can only learn about Li Qingqing's recent situation through the news.

But the news is still the same as the previous few days. The only good news is that the recovery period is said to have been shortened from the originally estimated one and a half months to one month.

In a month, Li Qingqing should still be able to catch up with the World Cup, right?

No more news. Women's football players are obviously not as popular as men's football players. Even Li Qingqing is quite popular among women's football players, and there is not much news about her.

Luo Kai has never been as dissatisfied with the imbalance in the development of men's and women's football as he is today.

Like Hu Lai, with a creative celebratory action, it can be spread all over the Internet.

The leader of the Chinese women's football team was injured before the World Cup and may not be able to participate in the World Cup. There are few reports. What do you media reporters do? !

Luo Kai really wished that the reporter could go to Li Qingqing's house and tell him everything about Li Qingqing's current life.

"Doctor Huang, Qingqing said that she didn't have any leg pain last night, and she slept until dawn..." In the physiotherapy room of the women's team of the Shanhai Blue Moon Club, Li Ziqiang was introducing the situation to the team doctor Huang Yichen.

The team doctor Huang Yichen, who had delicate makeup on his face but still couldn't hide his old age, looked at Li Qingqing after hearing the words.

Li Qingqing was lying on the massage table, her upper body was covered with a towel, and her legs, which were only wearing a pair of shorts, were exposed. You could see a little bruise on the back of her right thigh.

That is the performance of hemorrhagic stasis.

It's just that in Huang Yichen's eyes, compared with yesterday when Li Qingqing came for massage and physiotherapy, it seems... really reduced?

When Li Qingqing saw the team doctor come over, he quickly said, "It's true, Doctor Huang. As long as I don't touch the injured area, I won't feel any pain at all."

Dr. Huang tried it out.

Then Li Qingqing told her that even if you press it up, as long as you don't press and knead too hard, the pain will obviously be less.

She frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Let's do another inspection. If it's true, then our previous judgment may be wrong."

"Wrong?" Li Ziqiang was a little surprised.

"Well, I was wrong. Her injury recovered faster than all of us expected. If this trend continues, maybe... she will recover from her injury in three weeks!"

A gleam of joy flashed in Li Ziqiang's eyes when he heard this, and he turned to look at his daughter.

Li Qingqing felt unbelievable at first, then she was surprised and delighted: "Doctor Huang, is this true?"

"I'm not sure yet, so I have to do another examination. We'll talk about it when the results come out..." At this point, Huang Yichen picked up the phone and began to arrange for Li Qingqing to do the examination.

Li Ziqiang and Li Qingqing next to each other looked at each other, and they both saw relaxation and joy in each other's eyes.

※※※

Guan Xinyan heard that Li Qingqing would come to the headquarters of the Blue Moon Football Club for an inspection, because the women's team's facilities are not complete, and the basic treatment is okay, so a more detailed inspection is not enough.

So he came to the examination room ahead of time and waited, wanting to send greetings and blessings to Li Qingqing face to face, show enough sense of presence in front of Li Qingqing, let her know that in the same club, there are still people who care about her, care about her, for her. she worried.

When the door of the examination room was opened, Li Qingqing came out in a wheelchair.

Guan Xinyan immediately walked forward pretending to meet him by chance, with surprise and concern on his face: "Hey, why did you come to the club, Li Qingqing?"

"Ah..." Li Qingqing didn't expect to meet Guan Xinyan here. The examination room is some distance away from the training ground, and no player would run this way unless he was injured. "I'm here for a review."

"How about your injury...?"

"not bad……"

Guan Xinyan frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on Li Qingqing's slender and fit thighs, with a heartbroken expression on his face: "It must be very painful..."

Unexpectedly, Li Qingqing smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Uh...huh?"

Just when Guan Xinyan wanted to continue to ask in detail, another middle-aged man came out from the door of the examination room behind Li Qingqing. He saw a strange young man standing beside Li Qingqing, and his face darkened.

"Who are you?" He asked bluntly, his eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person.

Guan Xinyan was planning to continue to care about Li Qingqing and win her favor, but he was suddenly interrupted.

He looked up at this strange middle-aged man, thinking that the other party should not be from the club, otherwise there would be no reason not to know him... and the way he looked at himself was really annoying, without any manners at all.

So he asked unceremoniously, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man sneered, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, stepped forward to push Li Qingqing's wheelchair and walked past Guan Xinyan.

"Let's go home, Qingqing."

"Okay, Dad."

The two walked towards the gate without looking back.

Guan Xinyan was stunned, because he clearly heard Li Qingqing call that man "Dad" just now...

I go!

He turned his head and looked at the man pushing Li Qingqing's back, wanting to catch up, but lacked the courage - now that he remembered the way the man looked at him, he felt cold all over his body.

He could only stand where he was, watching Li Qingqing and her father disappear at the end of the corridor.

At this time, another person came out of the examination room, it was Huang Yichen, the team doctor who examined Li Qingqing before, and she was surprised when she saw Guan Xinyan: "Guan Xinyan, why are you here?"

"Ah, I... I passed by..."

"Why are you passing by the examination room if you have nothing to do?" The other party frowned, and then suddenly realized, with an intriguing smile on his face, "Li Qingqing and her father came for a re-examination. Although the re-examination results have not yet come out, judging from the inspection, Li Qingqing The recovery from the injury is better than everyone expected before. Don't worry."

Then she blinked at Guan Xinyan.

Guan Xinyan didn't listen to the re-examination part at all, he just heard "Li Qingqing and her father are here for re-examination".

Is that really Li Qingqing's father? !

It's over, it's over...

※※※

"Who was that kid just now?" Li Ziqiang asked as he pushed Li Qingqing out of the building.

"Guan Xinyan, Dad."

"He is Guan Xinyan?" Li Ziqiang couldn't help looking back, even though he couldn't see anything.

"That's right, he is Guan Xinyan who was replaced by Hu Lai."

Hearing what his daughter said, Li Ziqiang snorted: "He is not Hu Lai's competitor."

"I think so too. The two of them have different playing styles and positions. Hu Lai is in the middle, and Guan Xinyan should be on the side..." Li Qingqing said.

But her words were interrupted by her father: "No, I'm not saying that the position is different, I mean that the strength is different. That Guan Xinyan's level is far behind Hu Laibi."

Hearing what Dad said, Li Qingqing, who was sitting in a wheelchair with his back turned to him, laughed silently.

She thought of Dr. Huang's judgment during the reexamination. Her recovery period may be shorter than expected. Not only will she definitely be able to catch up with the World Cup, but she will also be able to catch up with at least two weeks of pre-World Cup training!

Her mood became incomparably beautiful.

When Hu Lai was waiting at the airport, he received a WeChat message from Li Qingqing: "Hu Lai, where does that miracle doctor live?"

He held the mobile phone with the expression of an old man on the subway: what's the matter? Didn't you say to go for a review? Could it be that something went wrong and you plan to find someone to settle the score?

"What's the matter? Did you get the results of the reexamination?" He asked quickly.

"No, but our team doctor said that my recovery prospects are very optimistic, and I may come back a little earlier!" Although it was written, Hu Lai could also feel Li Qingqing's happy mood from the lines.

"That's a good thing!"

"That's right, so I want to thank the old genius doctor in person!"

I'll go... Eldest sister, where can I find you an old miracle doctor?

I'm talking nonsense, do you really believe it?

How did you survive so simple?

By this time, of course Hu Lai knew that his lies could not continue.

So he confessed: "This... I told you, don't be angry, Li Qingqing..."

"?You speak first!"

"Actually, there is no such thing as an old miracle doctor...I made it up to lie to you. That thing...is not a one-in-a-million recovery ointment, that is...I poured it myself with Vaseline...I just want to make you happy, To comfort and comfort you... You recover quickly, that must not be the effect of this ointment, but you should recover quickly..."

Hu Lai poured the beans out of the bamboo tube and explained everything.

Then after a while, the other side replied to him: "Hu Lai!!! I believe in you so much, I didn't expect you to be such a person!!"

"You said you're not angry..."

"I did not say!"

Hu Lai checked the chat history, Li Qingqing really didn't agree...

So he sighed: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm doing it for your own good...or else, I owe you another meal..."

"Hehe, Hu Lai, do you think one meal is enough?"

"No... that sister, how many meals do you want?"

"At least ten meals!"

"Okay, okay, ten meals will be ten meals..." Hu Lai hesitated.

"That's what you said, I took a screenshot!"

"Manly man, once a word is said, it is hard to follow, you don't need to take a screenshot!"

"No, I'm afraid you'll regret it if you don't take a screenshot!"

"..."

Li Qingqing, who was half lying on the bed, changed "146" to "156" in the "One Card" note in the memo, and then held the phone happily.

If it wasn't for the strain on her right leg, she would have kicked and rolled on the bed, thrashing hard.

In the waiting hall, Hu Lai clenched his fist and waved it slightly—the [Recovery Ointment] really worked!
