Li Qingqing put the black tie on Hu Lai's shirt collar, then took a step back, looked at Hu Lai in formal clothes carefully, and nodded in praise.
"Is it too tight?" Hu Lai tried to turn his neck, "It's a little uncomfortable."
"Get used to it, get used to it." Li Qingqing said with a smile, "You have to get used to it, Hu Lai, such scenes will be inevitable in the future."
"It's hard to get used to it. I've never participated in award ceremonies before, but I feel uncomfortable every time. It feels like I'm wearing a straitjacket. If I move a little wider, I feel like the clothes will fall off the line..."
Li Qingqing rolled her eyes at Hu Lai: "Why are you like my dad?"
"Coach? Why am I like him?"
"He doesn't like to wear formal clothes either. One of his excuses is that it's inconvenient to move around."
Hu Lai laughed and said: "Heroes see the same thing!"
"My dad is not here, so you can say this in front of him."
"Wouldn't it make me look too flattering if I said it in front of him?"
"Hey……"
"But having said that, I have never seen a coach wearing a suit..."
"Yes, he feels uncomfortable wearing formal clothes. I suspect he doesn't go to the professional team for this reason, because going to the professional team always requires you to wear formal clothes, but it doesn't matter in school..." Li Qingqing complained to his father
.
He is obviously quite handsome, but he insists on wearing rumpled and unkempt clothes.
Are you afraid of being targeted by those crazy bees and butterflies outside?
Li Qingqing looked at her boyfriend again. He was wearing a crisp custom-made suit, a white shirt, and a black bow tie. Against his height of 1.8 meters, he looked very capable.
Not to mention, Hu Lai seems to look more handsome with such tidy things up.
She smiled with satisfaction.
"Stop looking and go change clothes quickly. You'll have to put on makeup first when you get there in a while. You don't have much time."
"As I said, you don't need to put on makeup..."
"Is that what I call makeup? I just put some powder on my face. Go, go, go."
At Hu Lai's urging, Li Qingqing entered the bathroom in the hotel room.
Not long after, the bathroom door opened, and she poked her head and half of her smooth shoulders out.
"Come out." Hu Lai hooked his hand at her.
"A little embarrassed..."
"What's so embarrassing about this? Let me see."
Li Qingqing had no choice but to hold up her skirt and walk out.
She was wearing a pearl-white suspender skirt with only two thin straps on her shoulders. She had a deep V slit on her chest and was so white that Hu Lai could hardly open her eyes.
So he waved his hand and said, "Turn around and let me look behind you."
Li Qingqing turned around obediently, and the slit at the back of her skirt became even wider, exposing her smooth back to Hu Lai's eyes.
His eyes widened when he saw it.
This heroic player on the court showed a rare sexy side.
Li Qingqing turned around and saw Hu Lai looking like a pig, so he blushed slightly and said, "I'm just sorry..."
"What are you embarrassed about? How wonderful!" Hu Lai gave a thumbs up, "Hey, don't block it! This back... tsk tsk, it would be a pity not to cup it!"
Li Qingqing laughed angrily at Hu Lai's words: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Hu Lai stepped forward and handed his arm to Li Qingqing: "Let's go, let's go and amaze the world!"
Hearing Hu Lai say this, the shyness on Li Qingqing's face disappeared, replaced by a sweet and confident smile.
She reached out to hold Hu Lai's arm, then picked up her small handbag, and went out with Hu Lai.

The 2027 FIFA Awards Ceremony was held in Milan, Italy, where football legends and current stars from all over the world gathered together.
Like the UEFA Ballon d'Or Award Ceremony in the middle of the year, it is a grand event in world football.
UEFA's awards ceremony is a summary of the previous season.
FIFA's annual awards are a recognition of the past year.
Various awards will be presented at the ceremony, including but not limited to best female goalkeeper, best male goalkeeper, best goal, best female coach, best male coach, fair play award, best eleven, best goal
The best female player (Miss World Footballer), and the best male player (World Footballer of the Year).
Unlike UEFA's selection mechanism, which relies on votes from major authoritative European sports media, FIFA's awards are determined through multi-party voting.
They also have authoritative media votes, but it is not limited to Europe, but media around the world. Each continent will have several authoritative media voting on behalf of that continent.
In addition, all national team captains and coaches of their FIFA member states also have voting rights.
Some awards even have online voting, which is voted for by fans. For example, the best goal award of the year mainly depends on the number of votes cast by fans.
Because fans vote, as well as national team captains and head coaches vote, FIFA's awards have always been considered more entertaining and less professional than UEFA's awards.
This can be seen from the fact that FIFA's award ceremonies are always interspersed with various theatrical performances.
※※※
Not all players will attend the FIFA awards ceremony, only those who are on the short list and have the opportunity to go on stage will attend.
And those players who have the opportunity to win the award will also bring their families with them to share their glorious moments.
Li Qingqing did not attend the award ceremony as a member of Hu Lai's family, although she and Hu Lai sat next to each other at the award ceremony.
With her outstanding performance in this year's Women's World Cup, Li Qingqing was selected into the ten-person candidate list for this year's Miss World Football.
This is not the first time she has been selected into the ten-person shortlist, but this year may be her best year.
Because in this year's World Cup, she performed well and led the host Chinese team to third place. She herself also won the Silver Boot in this World Cup.
In addition, he moved to the Madrid Kings Women's Football Team, a giant in women's football, and performed well in the Spanish Women's Super League, which also gave Li Qingqing a lot of points.
Hu Lai participated in the FIFA awards ceremony for the first time last year. Although he won the Premier League championship, the Premier League Golden Boot and the World Golden Boot, he was not included in the ten-man candidate list, and he was not eligible for other awards.
Although his first goal in the World Cup was the best goal of the World Cup, it failed to win the best goal of the year in the entire world of football. The best goal of the year that year belonged to Melli.
Banega, in a Copa del Rey match, he started dribbling from the backcourt, passed seven players of the opponent, ran for almost 70 meters, and finally sent the football into the goal.
Not only is the distance of dribbling the ball long, but there are also many people passing by.
And Mellie Banega is also more famous.
In the end, he defeated Hu Lai by a narrow margin and won the best goal of the year.
FIFA's Best Goal of the Year selection includes goals in all competitions recognized by FIFA, which greatly enhances the chance of a dark horse appearing.
It is often seen that some unknown players score a wonderful goal in an unknown game, and then go on to become the winner of the best goal of the year.
This award is very entertaining.
Grassroots players should not expect to be able to reach the top and achieve a turning point in their lives by relying on this award.
After all, this award only selects whether a ball looks good or not, and has nothing to do with a player's strength.
However, there is no suspense about the Goal of the Year award this year, it belongs to Hu Lai.
His upside-down golden hook 34.2 meters away from the goal in the first Champions League group match this season was voted the best goal of the year in the votes of fans around the world.
Whether in terms of viewing or rarity, this goal is well-deserved as the best of the year.
But Hu Lai didn’t come to the award ceremony just because of this award.
He was also selected for the best eleven team of the year, playing in the center of the front three in a 4-3-3 formation.
For a forward who has scored 75 goals throughout the year, it would be ridiculous if he is not selected for the best team.
In addition to being confirmed to be selected for the best team of the year, Hulay has also entered the ten-man candidate list for the World Footballer.
But the chances of him winning this award are slim.
It can also be seen from the odds offered by various bookmakers that he is not favored.
After all, as a player from a non-football-strong region, he not only has to perform impeccably, but also has to be famous enough to win the World Footballer of the Year.
This honor is selected through joint voting by the world media and the head coaches and captains of each national team. This selection method means that the players' popularity and influence are very high.
Many captains and head coaches in underdeveloped football countries may not know as much about world football as a Chinese fan.
How do they know who should win the World Footballer of the Year?
Of course, whoever is more famous will elect the winner.
If they only knew Celus Caesar, they would vote for Caesar first.
This is a great advantage for players who have been famous for a long time.
Although the era of the "Four Kings" has gradually passed, in recent years, the names of the "Four Kings" have often appeared in the World Footballer selection, and their rankings are still not low.
For example, Selius Caesar has been selected for the final ten candidates for thirteen consecutive years. Regardless of his performance that year...
There is such a reason in it.
As a rookie who lacks foundation and glorious history, Hu Lai suffers greatly under this selection mechanism.
Even if there is media voting as a supplement, it will be difficult to overturn the situation.
It is impossible to become the World Footballer by scoring 75 goals a year.
Unless he can maintain this state for five or six years, he might still have a chance.
Or... if you can lead the Chinese team to win the World Cup, you may also become the World Footballer.
But in terms of difficulty, maintaining this state for five or six consecutive years may be lower...
