As Maxi Carey was driving home, he found a taxi parked outside his next-door neighbor's yard when he was almost home, and a familiar figure got out of the car.
Hu Lai!
This surprised Kaili. He didn't expect to meet his teammates here again.
He knows this villa.
It had been vacant before and no one had come to live there.
Although they are neighbors, the two houses are almost a hundred meters apart. Normally, I would not hear anything going on here, let alone care about it.
So he didn't expect that someone would live here now, and it was... Hu Lai, who was not very popular with him.
He did not stop to say hello to Hu Lai, but drove slowly and watched Hu Lai enter the courtyard gate.
After returning home and kissing his wife, he went straight to the third floor and looked at the next door through the bedroom window.
Just like when Hu Lai looked over here, he could only see the second and third floors of the house, and they were too far away. Even at night, with the lights on in the other room, he could actually see everything with the naked eye.
Not sure.
Kaili looked in that direction and remained silent for a long time.
Until his wife came to find him and found him looking out the window, she asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at the scenery."
Sophia followed and looked.
The sky is not completely dark yet, and the twilight is getting darker.
In the distance under the hills is the city of Madrid, where the stars shine and the rest blends into the dark night.
Behind them, on the western horizon, there should still be some rays of sunset at this moment.
This scenery is actually very ordinary. The couple has lived in Madrid for seven years and has seen it countless times. It does not cause any emotion in their hearts.
So Sophia still didn't quite understand why her husband was looking out the window in a daze.
Until he said: "That house...Hu lived there."
"Hu? Hu... Lai?" Sophia and her husband looked in the same direction. There was a neighbor who had not lived there for a long time.
The lights are on now.

"Go to the grassroots level? What you say is really interesting!"
At the dinner table, after hearing Hu Lai's introduction, Li Qingqing laughed.
"Does your king engage in such activities?"
"We also have a fan day, but we just let the fans come to visit the training base. Most clubs are like this. There is no one like you who still works in a factory... At most, it would be good to go to the community nursing home to visit. And with us
The women's team has nothing to do with it." Li Qingqing shook her head, her words showing envy that she also wanted to go.
Really, for professional players who train every day and have a monotonous and repetitive life, "going to the grassroots" is really like going out to have fun.
"How about you transfer to the Pirates!" Hu Lai joked.
Li Qingqing rolled his eyes at him: "How is that possible? My goal is to win the Champions League!"
Unlike the Madrid Kings women's and men's teams, which are both championship-level teams, the Pirates' women's team is much weaker.
The Pirates Club's investment in women's football is far less than that of the Madrid Kings.
Their men's team is still trying to catch up with the Kings of Madrid, so how can they devote the energy and financial resources to the women's football team? Anyway, it is enough to ensure that there is a women's team, and there are no performance requirements.
Hu Lai naturally knew that this was impossible, he just wanted to tease Li Qingqing.
I don’t know why, but Hu Lai thinks it looks good even when he sees Li Qingqing rolling his eyes...
Seeing Li Qingqing's frown and smile, Hu Lai's heart began to beat wildly again.
Then he said with a shy face: "We don't have to train tomorrow, so tonight, can we...hehehe!"
After a young man and a woman break through that boundary, they become inseparable. However, both of them know their identities and are both professional players, so they do not indulge too much, otherwise they will be afraid that their legs will be weak even if they train every day.
, how to play football?
Before this, Hu Lai had been holding back for several days. When he thought that he would not have to train tomorrow, his mind became more active.
Li Qingqing pouted: "You don't have to train tomorrow, but I do!"
"Ah?" Hu Lai was stunned, and then he was disappointed. "Okay then..."
"But...it's okay."
Hu Lai suddenly raised his head and looked at the shy Li Qingqing opposite.
"But I still have to practice my left foot first at night." Li Qingqing requested.
"No problem!" Hu Lai nodded hastily and agreed, then started to wolf down his food, wishing he could go practice ball now.
"Don't be so impatient..." Li Qingqing felt shy and helpless when she saw Hu Lai like this.
But there is still a little...expectation.
※※※
Spring nights are short.
When Hu Lai opened his eyes again on the bed, he skillfully turned over and hugged the person next to him into his arms.
His hands began to fumble again.
This time his claws were blocked by Li Qingqing:
"Get up."
Hu Lai buried his face in the majestic mountains and rivers and murmured: "This is my country..."
"What did you say?" Li Qingqing didn't hear clearly.
"I said we won't be training today anyway..."
Li Qingqing, who was pushed to the chest by Hu Lai, had no choice but to push him away: "If you don't train, I still have to train!"
Hu Lai, who was pushed away, had no choice but to collapse on the bed and watched with some regret as his sweetheart sat up and turned her back to him naked.
Then he discovered that it was wonderful to appreciate those graceful curves like this.
As an athlete, Li Qingqing manages her figure very well. There is really no extra fat on her body, making her look like a perfect statue of art.
Hu Lai simply half-propped his body, tilted his head and admired it quietly.
Until Li Qingqing put on her clothes and found no movement behind her, she thought Hu Lai was angry after being pushed away...
As a result, when I turned around, I saw him looking at me dreamily.
Li Qingqing's face turned red instantly.
But my heart is very sweet.

When Hulay arrived at the Casa training base, the atmosphere in the locker room was more relaxed than usual.
Everyone did not change clothes, but wore casual clothes.
Waiting for the draw.
After everyone was gathered, the three captains organized the drawing of lots in the locker room.
What lot will be drawn?
Get everyone involved in grassroots projects.
This year there are three projects: factories, nursing homes, and cafes.
Going to a nursing home is the easiest, going to a factory is the most tiring, and going to a cafe is the most trivial.
Who goes to which project depends entirely on luck.
You can go wherever you draw, you can't pick and choose.
Absolutely fair and just.
In the end, Hu Lai was drawn to work as a waiter in a cafe.
In addition to him, Maxi Carey is also among them.
They were both chosen to be waiters in a café.
This made Hu Lai very curious. He wanted to see how this proud guy could serve as a waiter.
result……
Unexpectedly, Maxi Carey was very comfortable in the cafe and very popular.
When facing the fans, the Dutch superstar always smiles, like the spring breeze blowing on his face.
His appearance is not bad. He is tall and slender. His height of 1.9 meters and fiery red hair make him very conspicuous in the crowd.
Now he is carrying a dinner plate filled with various drinks, walking through the fan cafe, delivering the coffee ordered by the fans to every table.
And it's not just as simple as bringing coffee to others. After bringing it, he will always hold an empty plate and chat with the other person, with a smile on his face.
This kind of smile is not the kind of professional fake smile that is perfunctory and agreeable, but a genuine smile.
It can be seen that he is at ease here and is in a very good mood.
Hu Lai was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this superstar with a special personality would be able to mingle with the fans...
Joaquin Vela, the third captain of the team, saw Hu Lai behind the bar always glancing at Carey, and asked: "What's the matter, Hu Lai?"
"Kyrie...seems to be very popular among fans."
"Ah, of course. He is our number one star, and it is normal for him to be popular. He has been the number one contributor to the recent championships we have won..." At this point, Bella suddenly realized that Hu Lai was
Are you envious of Kyrie's popularity among Pirates fans?
So Bella comforted him with a smile: "With your ability, you will be popular with the fans as long as you play a few games. And you are already popular, ha!"
He was talking about Julay's rejection of the King of Madrid twice.
In the minds of Madrid Pirates fans, whoever doesn't give face to the King is their Pirates' friend.
This kind of thinking is extreme and sometimes wrong.
But the majority of Madrid Pirates fans recognize this truth.
It can even be said that this is the "legal principle" where they and the King of Madrid are fighting to the death.
Those who do not rebel against the king are not worthy of being pirates!
Therefore, the fans of the Madrid Kings can accept the transfer of Pirates players to their Kings. After all, this is considered a "recruitment" in a sense. Of course, they will also object and be unhappy when the Kings players go to the Pirates, but the level of dissatisfaction is so great.
Far less than the fans of Madrid Pirates who want their players to transfer to Madrid Kings.
Madrid Pirates fans are very, very disgusted with their players switching to Madrid Kings. It can even be said that they hate the fact that they cannot directly transfer from Pirates to Kings. Even players who have been Pirates cannot transfer to Kings from other clubs.
To Pirates fans, this amounts to betrayal of class.
How can workers surrender like kings?
During the First and Second Republics, did the workers still suffer from such evil consequences?
"Kyrie also seems to like to interact with fans?" Hu Lai asked his question.
"Every time on traditional days, he is the most positive," Bella said. "Maxi is actually a good person. He is just a bit extreme sometimes, but if you have more contact with him, you will find that he is actually not a bad person..."
Bella still hopes to ease the relationship between the two.
Although it seems that Hu Lai has no resentment or dissatisfaction with Kaili at present.
But who knows what he is thinking?
As the captain of the team, even if he is the third captain, Joaquin Vela still has to shoulder his responsibility and try his best to deal with the instability within the team.
He didn't tell any lies.
Maxi Carey is indeed not a bad person.
Otherwise, with such an outstanding personality, how could he have played for the Pirates for seven years and still have such a high reputation and status among the fans?
But for Hu Lai, it doesn't matter whether Maxi Carey is a bad guy or a good guy, because the two of them are competitors.
The competition may not be about the position on the field, but who is the number one star of this team...
Hu Lai was observing Kaili when a customer came up to him to take an order: "Bring me a cappuccino, please, Hu!"
After Hu Lai ordered for him, the other party took out his mobile phone, not to pay the bill, but to take a selfie with Hu Lai.
Hu Lai naturally satisfied the other party's request with a smile.
The other party gave up his seat with satisfaction, and immediately another person came from behind to order Hu Lai's food and take a photo with him.
When ordering food with Hu Lai, she gave him a thumbs up: "I'm glad you didn't go to the Kings, Hu! Although you haven't played for the Pirates yet, I believe you can succeed here!"
"Thank you, I will try my best." Hulay replied in Spanish.
As Joaquin said, I am also very popular with Madrid fans...
He laughed.
The other party laughed and said: "Haha! I learned your Chinese cheering slogan..."
After saying that, he waved his fist and shouted in a very bad voice: "Hu Lai! Lin Biao!!"
