Fox in the Penalty Area

When Li Ziqiang saw his daughter and Hu Lai walking out of the VIP passage of Dongsheng Airport side by side in full armor, he was no longer as shocked as he was when he saw this scene last year.

Because his daughter told him in advance, Hu Lai was coming to rub the car again.

When Li Ziqiang heard his daughter's request at first, he refused in his heart. But considering Hu Lai's influence and fame, if he was asked to take a taxi back alone...the World Cup is coming, he is also afraid of complications.

So I could only look at it for the sake of the World Cup and agreed.

However, after seeing Hu Lai, he still didn't show a good face. He nodded to Hu Lai who was nodding and bowing seriously with a straight face, and didn't say anything thoughtful. Then he turned around and showed a caring smile to his daughter: "Are you tired on the road?"

"Not tired, Hu Lai is with me." Li Qingqing glanced at Hu Lai with a smile.

The old father felt that the breath in his chest was not smooth, and he looked at Hu Lai again, and said in a neutral tone: "I have won the Premier League championship and the Golden Boot, boy, don't get carried away."

Hu Lai quickly said: "No, coach, how could I be floating? You know, people all over the world are floating, and I am still firmly rooted in the ground!"

"Okay, anyway, you can do it yourself." Li Ziqiang took his daughter's luggage cart and pushed it in front.

Behind him, Hu Lai pushed onto his luggage cart, and Li Qingqing continued to walk side by side with him.

When Li Ziqiang turned his head occasionally, he could see his daughter's smiling eyes.

When they came to the parking lot, Hu Lai and Li Ziqiang put the suitcases into the trunk one by one, and the backpack that couldn't fit took up half of the back seat.

This time without Li Ziqiang's words, Hu Lai sat in the co-pilot seat consciously, leaving Li Qingqing behind with the luggage.

Li Ziqiang was the last to get in the car. He sat in the driver's seat, put on his seat belt, and said to Hu Lai, "I'd better drive back to our community. When the time comes, let your mother come and pick you up. Shouldn't you be worried?"

Hu Lai had no objection, and nodded repeatedly: "It's okay, coach. You can take me back to Dongchuan, and I can take care of the rest myself."

Li Qingqing, who was sitting in the back, also cheered up: "Yes, new home! I haven't been to a new home before!"

Hu Lai was very surprised: "Li Qingqing, have you moved?"

"Hey, I also bought a house.

Li Qingqing said proudly. "I bought it with the money I saved from playing football in the past few years." Although not as big as your house, I like it very much! "

"Then you are really amazing." Hu Lai turned around and gave a thumbs up.

Li Qingqing who got the compliment laughed.

Hearing the two young people talking and laughing happily in the car, Li Ziqiang decided to change the subject forcibly, so he asked Hu Lai while driving: "The training camp will start on the 15th, why go back to Dongchuan to make a fuss?"

If you don't go back to Dongchuan, you just stay in Jincheng honestly, and you won't have what happened today...

"Ah, I think Dongchuan and Jincheng are close anyway, so let's go home and visit my parents." Hu Lai explained.

Hearing what he said, Li Ziqiang was embarrassed to say anything. Could it be that people shouldn't go home to visit their parents? How can there be such a reason?

The day was so chatted to death...

Fortunately, at this time, the daughter asked: "Dad, how does it feel to live in the new house?"

"How? That's it..."

"Does the community still have pipes bursting and water shutting down every three days?" Li Qingqing asked with a smile.

"Hey, you..." Li Ziqiang wanted to teach his daughter a few words, but when he remembered that there were outsiders in the car, he swallowed it.

"Huh? Li Qingqing, your neighborhood used to have water cuts all the time?" Hu Lai asked curiously.

"Yeah. We went home together last year. You left at the gate of the community. My dad and I came home only to find that there was no water in the house. Let alone cooking, we couldn't take a shower..." Li Qingqing told Hu Lai vividly. Her experience of being on an embarrassing journey.

Li Ziqiang saw the two young people chatting happily again, this time he had no choice but to intervene, so he sighed inwardly.

Last time Qingqing fell asleep shortly after getting in the car, why is she so energetic this time...

※※※

Although he was quite excited after getting in the car, he kept chatting and acted like no one else was around, as if the driver was not Li Ziqiang, but a dedicated chauffeur.

But as the car followed the traffic on the highway, after a long time, the two young people finally fell silent and fell asleep one after another.

Li Ziqiang observed his daughter through the rearview mirror, and found that she was leaning crookedly on the backpack next to her, propping her face with her hands, closing her eyes and nodding slightly.

He retracted his gaze, and then looked at the traffic ahead that was still unable to get up, his eyes softened, and he was not so anxious.

Just let my daughter sleep a little longer...

But this tender moment was broken by an abrupt snore.

Li Ziqiang turned his head and saw that Hu Lai was sleeping soundly with his head tilted on the window glass, and the sound of snoring continued to come from his open mouth...

Li Ziqiang felt that the veins on his forehead were twitching.

If only he and his daughter were in the car, what a scene of fatherly love and filial piety would be!

But unfortunately...

He made up his mind that next year no matter what... he would never agree to his daughter's request again, no matter how much she acted like a spoiled child!

Thinking of this, Li Ziqiang decided to speed up and go home. His daughter wanted to sleep and let her go home to sleep. How could he sleep well in the car so crookedly?

So Li Ziqiang observed the distance between cars in the rearview mirror left and right, then turned on the turn signal, downshifted manually, stepped on the accelerator, and turned the steering wheel violently.

Changing lanes and overtaking in one go!

The snoring around me paused for a second...

※※※

Li Ziqiang stopped the car on the side of the road next to the gate of Heilan Shengjing, and driving 20 meters further was the entrance to the underground garage, where he had to put Hu Lai down.

So he yelled, "Here we are!"

The two young people in the car woke up one after another. They opened their sleepy eyes and looked at the scene outside the window, still a little confused.

Hu Lai rubbed his eyes, staring at the community gate outside the car window in a daze.

Li Qingqing woke up leisurely with her backpack in her arms, looked up at the street scene outside the window, and asked confusedly, "Dad, where is this?"

Li Ziqiang half-jokingly said to his daughter: "Hey, you still haven't woken up from sleepiness? You chose it yourself, so you can't recognize it?"

Li Qingqing was lying on the edge of the window, looking at the gate of the community outside, and finally his eyes fell on the four gold-plated characters of "Hai Lan Sheng Jing".

Her brain woke up little by little, and she whispered: "Ah, it's our home!"

Hu Lai, the co-pilot, was in shock at why the coach knew about his home and sent him home, when he heard Li Qingqing's murmur. He was so startled that he turned his head to look at Li Qingqing, and then at Li Ziqiang.

Noticing Hu Lai's gaze, Li Ziqiang asked with a straight face, "Why?"

"This... Coach, do you live here?" He pointed to the four words "Hai Lan Sheng Jing" outside.

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

"Uh..." Hu Lai looked at the coach's black face, and didn't dare to say anything.

He could only shake his head again and again: "It's nothing. I'll get off the coach, thank you coach..."

After speaking, he quickly opened the door and jumped out of the car, and went to the trunk to carry his luggage.

After unloading the luggage as quickly as possible, he waved to Li Qingqing: "Goodbye!"

Li Qingqing poked her head out of the rear window, smiled and waved to Hu Lai: "Goodbye!"

Before the words fell, the car had already driven out slowly.

Standing on the side of the road, Hu Lai watched the car turn in from the entrance of the underground garage in front. It was a little messy in the wind... But he quickly recovered his mood, put his bag on his back, pulled up two suitcases, and turned to the gate of the community go.

※※※

After parking the car in the parking space of the underground garage, Li Ziqiang and his daughter unloaded all the luggage, and then pulled the suitcases in the left and right hands, leaving only Li Qingqing with a backpack on his back, and walked towards the door of the unit.

When there were only the two of them left, Li Qingqing finally asked the question that had been pent up in her heart for a long time: "Dad, I always feel... Are you being too strict with Hu Lai?"

"Huh?" Li Ziqiang, who was walking in front, looked back at his daughter in surprise.

"I think he is a little creepy in front of you... He is the biggest star in the country after all, but he is still like a student player in front of you..."

"It's okay if he's really afraid of me!" Li Ziqiang snorted.

"Why?" Li Qingqing didn't understand.

Seeing this, Li Ziqiang simply stopped, turned around and said to his daughter: "You have already said that he is the biggest football star in China, so you must have seen how domestic media and fans praise him and praise him, right?"

Li Qingqing nodded - in fact, every time after Hu Lai's game, she likes to go online to see how fans and media reporters praise Hu Lai. Hu Lai was not well-known before, so it took her a lot of effort to find such compliments. But now there is no need for her to look for it deliberately, as long as she opens her Weibo account, the homepage is basically full of praises for Hu Lai from the people she follows.

"So there is no shortage of good words around him. But I just want to say what he doesn't like to hear, and I want to treat him like I did before." Li Ziqiang said seriously, "I hope that at least when he is in front of me, he can still Always be humble and vigilant. Only in this way, he will not get lost in those beautiful voices so easily."

Li Qingqing didn't expect her father to be so caring, and suddenly laughed: "As expected of your proud disciple, father, you still care about him so much!"

Hearing his daughter's words, Li Ziqiang squeezed out a smile and pulled up the box again: "Let's go, go home!"

"Well, go home!" Li Qingqing who had untied her heart was very happy. She jumped ahead and opened the door of the apartment building for her father, and greeted like a doorman:

"Father, please come in!"

Seeing his daughter's ghostly appearance, Li Ziqiang laughed from the bottom of his heart this time.

※※※

Hu Lai pressed the up button of the elevator and stood at the door waiting for the car to come up from the second basement floor.

At the same time, he was thinking in his heart, should he tell Li Qingqing that they actually live in the same neighborhood...

Li Qingqing is fine, but Hu Lai is mainly worried about the coach.

I don't know if the coach will take Li Qingqing away overnight after knowing the truth...

Shouldn't it?

Although he doesn't like me, there's no need to "move Meng's mother three times" just to avoid me...

Just as Hu Lai was thinking wildly, the elevator stopped with a ding, and the car door slowly opened in front of him.

He looked up into the elevator, and the people in the elevator were also watching him.

He saw two familiar faces, and the other saw him.

Li Ziqiang's eyes widened, and Li Qingqing exclaimed, "Ah!"

Standing at the door, Hu Lai was completely stunned, so that he didn't react when the elevator door slowly closed.

Fortunately, Li Qingqing acted quickly, quickly pressing the door open button, and then the door opened again——she saw Hu Lai dragging the suitcase again.

"Hu Lai, why are you here?" She asked in surprise and joy.

"I should ask you this, why are you here?" Hu Lai pointed at his feet.

"This is my home!" Li Qingqing replied confidently.

"This is my home too!" Hu Lai also said firmly.

Li Qingqing turned her head to look at her father, only to find that the latter was stupefied.

So she turned to Hu Lai again and waved to him: "Come in first, or else the elevator should call the police!"

Hu Lai just woke up like a dream, and dragged two big suitcases to squeeze in. The elevator suddenly became a little crowded. Li Qingqing took her own suitcase and took a step back. At the same time, she was still staring at Hu Lai's hand, I plan to see which floor he presses.

After Hu Lai came in, he really planned to press the floor, but he raised his hand, only to find that "10" had already been pressed...

He glanced back at Li Qingqing, thinking that it's not such a coincidence, is it?

"Which floor do you live on, Hu Lai?" Seeing that Hu Lai hadn't moved for a long time, Li Qingqing asked directly.

"I...uh, which floor do you live on?"

"I asked first!"

"Lady first……"

"Yeah, that's why I asked first."

"I mean ladies answer questions first, which floor do you live on?"

"What the hell!" Li Qingqing protested.

In the end, none of them answered, because when they were arguing, the elevator had stopped on the tenth floor.

Hu Lai, who was outside, dragged the luggage down first, and then Li Qingqing and the silent Li Ziqiang also walked out of the elevator dragging the boxes.

Then the three of them looked at each other in the elevator room like this. No matter how stupid Li Qingqing was, she should have guessed it at this time. Her almond eyes widened: "Isn't it, Hu Lai? You also live on the tenth floor?!"

Hu Laixin said: Damn, do you want to be so bloody!

At the same time, he took a step forward, shoulder to shoulder with Li Qingqing, and then turned to face the same direction.

"I live in 1004." He said.

"We live...1003." Li Qingqing looked at the house number on the door of his house.

Then they fell silent at the same time, just turning their heads to look at each other.

Even Li Ziqiang who was standing behind them didn't speak, and fell into a kind of sluggish state.

This piece of silence was not broken until the door of 1004 was opened, accompanied by a hearty voice.

A middle-aged woman came out from the door, and she said with a smile: "I calculated that the time is almost here... I just said that I heard your voice outside the door, but there was no one knocking on the door. As soon as the door was opened , what are you standing there doing... eh?"

Xie Lan who pushed the door out saw his son and a girl standing side by side, staring at each other. And this girl was tall and tall, and she had a face that she was too familiar with.

Seeing this scene, Xie Lan couldn't say the rest of the words...
