After saying that, the makeup artist stepped aside.
Li Qingqing raised her head slightly, opened her eyes, and saw herself in the mirror.
A self that looked "a little bit pink" appeared in front of her.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied?" the makeup artist asked gently from the side.
Li Qingqing nodded and said: "Satisfied! It's great!"
The makeup artist explained: "Actually, Qingqing, you have a very good foundation, so I didn't do much retouching..."
He also made a joke: "Originally, I thought it was totally fine to not use makeup at all, but since I got paid, I still have to put on some pretense!"
Li Qingqing laughed when he heard this.
When the bridesmaid Xu Wen came in and saw Li Qingqing smiling, she exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow! A peerless beauty!"
Li Qingqing asked her with a smile: "Have you finished putting on your makeup?"
"No, I'm the first one, so I just wanted to see how your progress is going." Xu Wen said, coming closer and looking at Li Qingqing's face with wide eyes, "This is... transformation
Ok?"
"Well, Teacher Mao said there is no need to modify it too much..." Li Qingqing said.
Xu Wen gave a thumbs up to the makeup artist standing next to her with a smile: "Teacher Mao is indeed the number one makeup artist in our country! Anyway, I can't imagine Qingqing looking like a heavy makeup artist, so that's good!"
Then she pulled Li Qingqing: "Now that you've put on your makeup, let's go try on the wedding dress!"
Li Qingqing was pulled to stand up. She turned around and said goodbye to the makeup artist: "Teacher Mao, I'll go first."
The makeup artist waved to the two of them with a smile: "Go, go. If you have any problems with your makeup, come back to me at any time. I'm right here."
Xu Wen pulled Li Qingqing and ran out of the dressing room.
Li Qingqing wanted to slow down: "Slow down, Wenwen!"
Xu Wen didn't care: "Hey, I can't wait to see you in your wedding dress!"
"Didn't I show you the wedding photos?"
"That's a photo, I want to see the real thing!"
Li Qingqing was pulled behind her and ran through the corridors of the hotel.
They also passed by the room where other bridesmaids put their makeup on. Xu Wen did not stop, but shouted into the room: "Hurry up, sisters! We still need to decorate the boudoir and discuss countermeasures!"

When Hu Lai appeared in front of his groomsmen in suits and ties, Chen Xingyi's eyes widened: "Holy shit? Hu Lai, you are wearing makeup? Why do you look so good? You are much more handsome than usual..."
"I made up my ass! She's a natural beauty!" Hu Lai snorted.
Of course, he couldn't tell Little Xingxing that it was because he cheated and used his points to redeem [Powerful Charm Essence Lotion] in the system mall.
The changes Little Star saw were just the effect of this thing.
Although it lasts only two hours, there is no limit on the number of uses, so he can still redeem it. He plans to keep the effect of [Powerful Charming Lotion Essence] on his face all day today.
Oh, by the way, after the World Cup finals, the system's father returned to Hu Lai. It was obvious that the system suddenly disappeared in order to let Hu Lai win the World Cup with his own strength.
Hu Lai once speculated that if he failed to win the World Cup, the system would feel that he was not qualified to carry it and disappear completely. And as he successfully won the World Cup, the system might feel that it was "teachable."
, so it’s back again…
Wang Guangwei was relatively kind and said to Chen Xingyi: "Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? Today is Hu Lai's happy day, so you have to celebrate it once, right?"
Xia Xiaoyu took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Hu Lai: "Brother Hu is so handsome!"
Morikawa Junpei watched this scene from the side, saying nothing, just grinning.
After Xia Xiaoyu finished taking the photo, Hu Lai turned to Wang Guangwei and asked, "Are you ready for Lao Wang's stuff?"
Wang Guangwei opened a non-woven bag next to him and handed it to him: "All the red envelopes are here."
Hu Lai glanced at his full pocket and nodded with satisfaction: "That should be enough!"
At this time, Song Jiajia opened the door and walked in. When she saw a room full of handsome guys in suits, she said first: "The motorcade has arrived and is waiting downstairs."
Then he looked at Hu Lai carefully and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, not bad, have you put on makeup?"
Before Hu Lai could answer, Chen Xingyi laughed and clapped his hands: "Ha! What did I say?"
Hu Lai rolled his eyes at Song Jiajia, then waved his hand: "Let's go! Brothers! Go grab the bride!"
※※※
After the son and his groomsmen left, the huge new house did not become quiet.
His uncle Xie Zelin was busy making breakfast for the rest of the family in the kitchen, and there was ping-pong-pong in the kitchen.
Hu Lixin invited relatives from his hometown to come over for a simple breakfast.
They in turn advised him: "Lixin, please stop being busy and don't make your clothes dirty..."
Hu Lixin waved his hand: "If it gets dirty, change it into another one. I've been too busy these days and haven't treated you well enough."
Relatives from my hometown quickly said: "You're so polite, so polite... You've been treated very well!"
They didn't pay a penny for air tickets, hotels, and airport pick-up and transportation, so how could they entertain me?
These relatives back home are already very content!
They have been away from home for many years, and now that their son has made a career, he has not forgotten these relatives...
In the guest bedroom, Xie Lan was wearing a dark red cheongsam. While turning around repeatedly to admire herself in the mirror, she asked Peng Hao's mother and little sister next to her: "Does it look good?"
The little girl smiled and praised: "It looks good!"
Xie Lan asked her: "Which necklace is better for me?"
The younger sister suggested: "I think this pearl necklace is very good, it looks great!"
"Okay! I'll listen to you!" Xie Lan happily put the plump gold pearl necklace on her neck.
Today is her son's big day, so of course she has to put on her best appearance and image.

Wang Yuan was woken up by the movement coming from outside the window.
Then she moved her hand behind her and found that half of the bed was empty.
She looked back.
My husband is not in bed.
So she simply got up, walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas, and walked straight to the second floor terrace.
Sure enough, she saw her husband standing there in his pajamas, looking towards the big villa next door.
"When did you get up?" Wang Yuan walked over and asked.
Qin Lin turned around and saw her: "I've been up for a while. Did I disturb you?"
"It's time to get up."
"It's been a long time since I've been back here. Are you not used to it?" her husband asked her again.
She shook her head and looked towards the villa.
The eastern horizon is dimly lit, and the large villa that has been dormant for a long time is now brightly lit. The door is full of cars, and people are constantly moving things from the cars into the villa.
You can still vaguely hear someone shouting:
"Put it down gently! Hey! Put it down gently!"
"This is hanging crookedly, please try it again!"
"Put this inside!"
"Move to the back garden!"
"Which one is the garden? It's the football field!"
Wang Yuan laughed: "I have seen lawn weddings, but this is my first time attending a stadium wedding."
Qin Lin hugged his wife: "This must be Hu Lai's idea, he always has a lot of imagination..."
"But it's good. Of course the wedding of a professional player should be held on the football field." Wang Yuan didn't care and even gave a like.
"Indeed, it's pretty good." Qin Lin agreed with his wife's opinion.
His wedding to his wife back then was an ordinary hotel wedding.
"I just didn't expect... that they would choose to come back here to hold a wedding." Qin Lin said with emotion.
"This place has extraordinary significance to Hu Lai and the others." Wang Yuan said, "Actually... I also miss the days when we lived here. At that time, life was simple and happy. There were such a lovely group of people.
Many young people have become our neighbors... Now, it feels like in the blink of an eye, these young people have all started families."
Qin Lin couldn't help but complain: "What you said... In fact, Hu Lai didn't get married until he was thirty-one, which is considered a late marriage."
Wang Yuan frowned and said: "But I really always feel that he is still very young..."
She quickly found the answer herself: "Maybe it's because they used to play with Xiao Qi, so I always regarded them as Xiao Qi's peers..."
At this point, she frowned again: "No, Xiaoqi will be twenty-five next year. In fact, he is not young! He is still single... tsk!"
Qin Qi, who was sleeping soundly with his quilt in his bed downstairs, suddenly shivered, as if he had had a nightmare.
※※※
Li Ziqiang sat alone in the hotel room, looking down at his wife's photos on his phone.
There is a special folder in his mobile phone, all of which are photos of his wife.
These are electronic files that his daughter took the time to use a scanner to scan the photos in the physical album one after another.
Photos on your phone will be automatically uploaded to the cloud if cloud synchronization is turned on.
This way, even if your phone is broken or lost, you don't have to worry about the photos inside disappearing.
He looked through the photos one by one.
Some were smiling happily, some were pouting and angry, and some were unprepared to show surprise...
In the photo, she will always live at her most beautiful and youngest age.
You will never grow old and you will never become ugly.
As Li Ziqiang looked through it, the women in the photos gradually became younger.
It wasn't until a wedding photo appeared in front of him that his finger on the screen stopped, hovering just above the phone.
This is a long-outdated, studio-style wedding photo from the 1990s.
In the photo, he is wearing a suit, his wife is wearing a white wedding dress, and her face has the makeup of that era.
How is it like now - his daughter showed him the wedding photos of her and Hu Lai, which looked like a blockbuster.
But this simple wedding photo is his most cherished photo...
Wife, there is something I need to tell you.
Our daughter is getting married today.
Although the certificate was obtained a long time ago, the wedding was held today because... both of them are very busy.
I feel that if there is no wedding, it will be almost meaningless. So I will wait until today to report to you...
I don’t really like the man Qingqing is looking for... It’s not that he’s not good, there’s actually nothing wrong with him and he’s definitely worthy of our daughter. Mainly... it’s mainly my problem.
When Qingqing told me that she was with that boy, I wasn't surprised at all. Do you know why?
Because when I first saw that bastard, I couldn't help but hate him.
Maybe it's because I know that this guy will eventually take away our daughter... right?
After you are gone, my daughter is my only sustenance.
It’s hard to get used to you not being around me, because I still have Qingqing...
In fact, I know that my thoughts are not good for Qingqing. I can't tie her up for life. She also has the right to pursue her own happiness, but I just can't help it.
I'm not a good father, even though I know Qingqing hopes that I can give that boy more good looks, but I... I just can't laugh in front of the person who stole our daughter.
In fact, that guy is really nice, and the only thing I can rest assured about is my daughter marrying him.
What kind of person is he?
Um……
He is obviously in his thirties, but sometimes he is still childish like a child. But... he has no bad intentions... Well, he has a lot of bad intentions, but he does not have any bad intentions. He is also really good to Qingqing. To be honest, except for me
I am a little unhappy, but maybe everyone around me is happy that they can finally get together.
And I don’t have anywhere to go. I can’t tell anyone what I think because no one can understand it.
In their opinion, that boy is such a good person. For your daughter to marry him, it is a match made in heaven. Why should you, a father, be unhappy?
They are right, but all I know is that he took our daughter away...
If you were still here, I shouldn't be like this. Because it's enough for me to have you.
Wife...if you were here today, you would be very happy, right?
After being stunned for a while, Li Ziqiang looked down at his cell phone, which had a black screen. The black screen was like a mirror, reflecting the tears on his face.
He put down his cell phone, raised his hand to wipe his face, then stood up and walked to the bed, looking at the suit spread out on the bed.
He specially brought it from his home in Dongchuan and wore it when he got married.
Because it was properly preserved, even after so many years, it is in very good condition and looks like new.
After all, he only wore this suit once.
Today is the second time I wear it.
※※※
"Dear leaders and guests, I am very happy that you can come to attend the wedding of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing. Let me introduce myself, I am the former principal of Dongchuan Middle School, my surname is Zhai..."
"... Hu Lai and Li Qingqing are both outstanding talents who graduated from Dongchuan Middle School. I am also very happy that they can ask me to be the witness when they get married... I know that there are actually many people here who are better than me.
This qualification..."
"...On this beautiful day, everyone gathers together to witness the sacred moment when Hu Lai and Li Qingqing enter the marriage hall..."
"... Hu Lai, you are an outstanding young man. You are diligent, kind, and have a golden heart for your career and people. Not only did you win the World Cup, but you also won the World Cup of Love...
"Li Qingqing, you are a beautiful, dignified, generous and kind-hearted woman. You and Hu Lai have known each other since we were young. You extended a helping hand to him and used your love to build a safe haven for the confused young man. That 'secret base' is
Your little paradise..."
"The two of you have supported each other for fifteen years. In the rest of your life, you must love each other, walk hand in hand through every spring, summer, autumn and winter in your life, and go through every ups and downs in your life together...
…And each of us will bless you.”
"I wish you a happy wedding, a hundred years of marriage, happiness, and eternal unity. I hope you will be together through thick and thin in life, and live a life that others can envy..."
After Zhai Guangming finished memorizing the marriage certificate that he had spent a week revising and revising, he turned around and saw his wife standing at the door of the bathroom.
"Do you need to use the bathroom?" he asked.
His wife glared at him: "Why are you going to the toilet? I mean, someone was chanting sutras in my ear at eight in the morning... It turns out you were hiding in the toilet and reciting this..."
She pointed to the page in her husband's hand.
"I said you read the manuscript after reading it, why do you still have to memorize it?"
Zhai Guangming shook his head: "How good is it to read from a script? I have spoken so many times in the past, how many times have I read from a script?"
"Why don't you tell me how old you were then? How old are you now? Hu Lai and Li Qingqing's wedding is such an important occasion. Are you not afraid of forgetting your words on stage? Or saying the wrong thing?"
"That's why I have to practice it over and over again. Anyway, since you're up, I'll go to the room and memorize it." After finishing speaking, Zhai Guangming took the printed manuscript and came out of the bathroom, then stood by the window of the hotel room and faced
The morning light outside the window recited it again.
"Dear leaders and distinguished guests, I am very happy..."
※※※
"Qingqing, sit on the bed later, and cover this shoe with the hem of your wedding dress. Where is the other shoe..."
Xu Wen looked around the room and seemed to be wondering where to hide the second shoe. Li Qingqing stretched out his hand to her:
"Bring it here and put it under your skirt with me."
Xu Wen was not happy: "You are too good at guessing!"
"Hey, why bother? Just guess once..." Li Qingqing went up to get the shoes and put them directly under her skirt.
"Okay, you have the final say..." Xu Wen began to discuss with everyone again, "They will be here soon. We can't open the door so easily. Wait for them to ask some questions! Let Hu Lai drink a can of Coke in one breath!"
Li Qingqing waved her hands quickly: "No, no, professional players can't drink carbonated drinks!"
Xu Wen had to change: "Then let Hu Lai sing..."
Li Qingqing moved her hands even faster: "His singing is ugly, but don't let him sing!"
Xu Wen wanted to go on strike: "This won't work, that won't work either...'Nodule', you don't have to worry about getting married!"
Li Qingqing smiled sheepishly: "It's okay if you mean it, it's just a formality anyway..."
Wang Shanshan joked: "Oh, we all understand, after all, we are an old married couple!"
The bridesmaids all laughed, and Li Qingqing was also amused.
Feng Yuqing raised her hand: "I think we should let Sister Qingqing and Brother Hu compete in a martial arts competition to find a bride. They can dribble the ball one-on-one in the corridor. If Brother Hu wins, he can take away Sister Qingqing..."
Before Li Qingqing could say anything this time, Xu Wen shook her head and objected: "That won't work. If Hu Lai has to pass Qingqing to pick him up, the marriage won't be possible today!"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
While they were making a fuss, someone suddenly knocked on the door and shouted outside: "The groom is here! Their motorcade is downstairs in the hotel!"
With such a shout, people in the room immediately became nervous and entered a "fighting state."
Li Qingqing's expression also became serious. She sat upright on the bed and covered a pair of high heels with the hem of her wedding dress.
※※※
After the mighty motorcade arrived at the entrance of the hotel lobby, everyone got off the car one after another, and then the groom Guan Hu Lai came out surrounded by the best men.
Passers-by took out their mobile phones to record the video. I believe that soon fans across the country will be able to see the short video of Hu Lai's wedding on the Internet...
Hu Lai didn't care about "right to privacy", and he waved hello generously to passers-by who took pictures of them with their mobile phones.
"Happy wedding! Hu Lai!"
Everyone sent their blessings one after another.
Hu Lai responded loudly: "Thank you! Thank you!"
Not only that, Peng Hao also carried a pocket containing small red envelopes and went up to hand out red envelopes to everyone.
In fact, the money is not much, each red envelope contains only 12 yuan, it is mainly a token of my gratitude.
Everyone who got the red envelope was also very happy, and all kinds of nice words kept coming out as if they didn't need money.
In a joyous atmosphere, Hu Lai and the others finally arrived at the door of Li Qingqing's "boudoir".
Holding a bouquet, Hu Lai knocked on the door and shouted: "My wife, open the door! I'm here to pick you up!"
Li Qingqing in the room responded reflexively: "Okay!"
Xu Wen jumped up anxiously beside her: "What's good?! Come up with a question! Come up with a question!"
"Question?" Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then asked loudly: "What were you doing when we first met?"
Hu Lai outside the door was stunned when he heard Li Qingqing's question, and the others were even more confused: What the hell is this?!
Hu Lai came to his senses and replied loudly: "I was late! I was late at that time! You were on the podium and I was late! I was even punished to run!"
The bridesmaids in the room looked at Li Qingqing with confused eyes, and saw her slap her hands: "Correct answer! Open the door!"
Xu Wen came back to her senses and stopped her: "No... what door should you open? Are you two showing off your affection here?!"
Then she shouted outside: "You don't have any red envelopes, you want us to open the door? No way!"
Hu Lai outside gave Wang Guangwei and Peng Hao a wink: "Quick, red envelope!"
Everyone hurriedly stuffed red envelopes through the cracks in the door.
But after taking the red envelope, the door still didn't open.
Upon seeing this, Hu Lai slammed the door again and shouted: "Open the door quickly! Open the door! Otherwise I will sing!"
After saying that, before anyone else could react, he took the lead and started singing:
"Little rabbit, be good! Open the door! Open it quickly! My husband is coming in!"
Then he cut another song: "When the sun comes out, I climb the hillside! When I reach the top of the mountain, I want to sing! The singing sounds float to my wife! She laughs when she hears my singing..."
Li Qingqing in the room covered her ears and said to Xu Wen: "Look! I told you not to let him sing, right?"
Xu Wen also covered her ears: "I knew his singing was difficult to listen to, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to listen to!"
The other bridesmaids also covered their ears with painful expressions on their faces. The red envelopes they had held in their hands fell to the floor, as if they were spurting blood...
The demonic sounds outside are still invading: "...the thing that makes me smile is hoo-ho-ho-ho-yo! The beauty in my heart is rang, ah, ah! My sister doesn't speak, she just looks at me and smiles! I know her.
Waiting for my big sedan chair..."
Facing a soul singer who sang "Yo ho ho ho ho" in a cadence that sounded like a yodel, Xu Wen gave up:
"Quick! Open the door quickly!"
The bridesmaids quickly opened the door and saw Hu Lai with his eyes closed and howling at the top of his voice, very involved.
The groomsmen around him also covered their ears with painful expressions.
Seeing the door open, everyone rushed forward with relief and covered Hu Lai's mouth: "Okay! Okay! The door is open, the door is open, Hu Lai! Stop singing!"
Hu Lai was quite unfinished and said to the bridesmaids: "Actually, you can be more reserved. When I finish singing this song, I think this song is particularly suitable for the occasion!"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry in!" Wang Guangwei pushed Hu Lai in.
After entering, Hu Lai saw Li Qingqing, who was sitting on the bed and looking at him with a smile. He knelt down on one knee and presented the bouquet: "Honey, I'm here to pick you up, come with me!"
After he finished speaking, he saw that Li Qingqing did not get up immediately, so he sang affectionately again:
"Come with me, let's set off now..."
Li Qingqing jumped out of bed: "Let's go! Let's go now!"
Hu Lai hugged her, stood up and left, saying with great pride: "Victory and return to the court!"
Xu Wen grabbed the pair of high heels on the bed and chased after her: "Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!"
Laughter was already echoing in the corridor.
※※※
"Captain Yan, are you sure you're not leading the wrong way?"
Meng Xi asked Yan Yan, who was leading the way.
"Nonsense! There are signs along the way. How can I go wrong?" Yan Yanzheng was talking. He turned a corner and saw a large white villa standing at the end of the road ahead.
He pointed excitedly and turned around to say to his friends: "We're here! That's it!"
Everyone turned the corner and saw the wedding venue, the legendary "Chinese Football Holy Land".
The door was full of people, including celebrities and big shots they had only seen on TV and in the news.
But even they were vying to take photos with the bride and groom standing at the door to welcome guests.
A group of people suddenly shrank and hesitated.
This scene made them realize that what they were about to attend was the wedding of a world football superstar, not the wedding of ordinary high school classmates.
"What are you doing? You've already come, do you want to retreat?" Chu Yifan asked when he saw that everyone didn't dare to go any further.
"Let's go, what are you afraid of? Hu Lai invited us here!"
Then he took the lead and walked to the wedding venue.
After the others looked at each other, they quickly followed, fearing that they would be left alone and lose the courage.
Before they could reach them, Hu Lai saw the group of them. He took the initiative to greet them, opened his arms and hugged the leader, Chu Yifan.
"Hahaha! Captain Chu! You are here!"
Then he let go of Chu Yifan and hugged Yan Yan: "Captain Yan!"
"Meng Xi!"
"Mao Xiao!"
"Chen Rui!"
…
Not only did he hug them one by one, he also called out their names accurately.
The nervousness and unconfidence of these people just now disappeared immediately with his hug and greeting.
Yes, no matter how famous Hu Lai is, he is also our high school classmate and school team teammate! How could Hu Lai, who has an innocent heart, not recognize these old classmates?
Li Qingqing also greeted everyone with a smile, then grabbed wedding candies and cigarettes from the plate held by the bridesmaid Lilith and handed them to everyone.
Even non-smokers took them all and clamped them on their ears or carefully put them in their pockets - these were the cigarettes handed over by Li Qingqing himself, so you should keep them well when you get back!
After giving the red envelope and signing their names in the sign-in book, they didn't stay long - in just a short time, several groups of people came, all of whom needed to be entertained by Hu Lai and Li Qingqing.
So after they said goodbye to the newlyweds, they walked into the venue under the leadership of the etiquette lady.
Entering the courtyard gate, there is a life-size vertical painting in front of the main door of the villa.
Generally speaking, this kind of vertical painting is a wedding photo of the groom and the bride.
But the wedding of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing is different. What is displayed here is the image of them holding their respective World Cup trophies.
"This is the perfect place to hold a wedding..." Chu Yifan said with emotion as he looked at this large white villa that had appeared in various news and videos countless times.
"Who would have thought that the players' dormitory back then would become the cradle of world champions?" Yan Yan also lamented.
A group of people then walked into the villa, and the spacious hall on the first floor was now full of people. Everyone was resting and chatting here before the wedding ceremony began.
The room was full of people.
The tallest Meng Xi suddenly pointed forward and said: "Coach!"
Everyone followed the direction of his finger and saw that it was Li Ziqiang, the head coach of their Dongchuan Middle School football team.
He was wearing a suit and was chatting with people.
"Is this the first time a coach wears a suit?"
"Don't tell me, our coach looks quite handsome today! He is usually a bit slovenly..."
"You are marrying your daughter today, why don't you take care of it properly?"
"Come on, let's go up and say hello to the coach!"
Chu Yifan and Yan Yan led them to Li Ziqiang, then collectively bowed to him and said, "Hello, coach!"
Li Ziqiang looked at the first batch of Dongchuan Middle School football team members he led, and the smile on his face became a little brighter: "Okay, okay, okay. How about you all?"
"That's great, coach! Our club's development is on the right track!" Yan Yan introduced Li Ziqiang.
"Well, I heard Qingqing and Hu Lai say that it is right for you to do youth football training in the community first... If you have the opportunity in the future, you can also communicate with the Dongzhong Football Team..."
Yan Yan and Chu Yifan looked at each other, and then said happily: "Really? That's great!"

His wife went to be Li Qingqing's bridesmaid and stayed by Li Qingqing's side.
Luo Kai was alone in the bustling environment and seemed a bit out of place.
So he walked out of the villa and wandered aimlessly in the garden outside.
Along the way, there were photos of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing everywhere.
It's not a group photo like a wedding photo, but... various group photos taken by Hu Lai and Li Qingqing using their mobile phones over the years.
Different from those official and public group photos, these were photos he had never seen before.
For example, this photo of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing with their heads almost touching each other in the "secret base".
Hu Lai's expression in the photo is still a bit reserved, but Li Qingqing next to him has a smile as bright as a flower and looks very happy.
Below the photo, there is a text introduction:
"After the 2022 season, when they returned to Dongchuan, in the secret base that had the word 'demolished' written on it, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing took the first group photo of their lives."
What about Disneyland Paris, what about the Madrid Olympics...it turns out they were together so early!
Luo Kai couldn't help laughing to himself when he thought of his previous wishful thinking.
"Oh, if you can still laugh, it means you are in a good mood."
Luo Kai turned his head in surprise and saw Zhang Qinghuan with a smile!
"Huan...Brother Huan? Why are you here?" He was very surprised.
During the national tour after winning the World Cup, Hu Lai sent invitations to all the team players and invited them to attend the wedding.
However, Brother Huan said at that time that his wife’s due date was within those few days and she might not be able to come.
Hu Lai is still very sorry.
It turned out to be true. Just three days before the wedding, Sun Juan gave birth to a big fat boy for Brother Huan. At that time, the teammates of the national team thought that Brother Huan would not make it.
So now seeing Zhang Qinghuan in person standing in front of him, Luo Kai was also surprised.
"I want to give Hu Lai and his wife a surprise." Zhang Qinghuan blinked and then explained, "I caught the earliest flight here, and I have to rush back in the evening."
"Isn't it too much trouble?"
"Fortunately, I have to come for such a big thing. Otherwise, Hu Lai will blackmail me for the rest of my life."
Then Zhang Qinghuan turned his attention to the group photo that Luo Kai was looking at just now.
Seeing Li Qingqing's smile in the photo, he sighed with emotion: "I remember Qingqing said that she was really moved because Hu Lai ran to deliver medicine to him after the injury... But I think she is lying. This
With a smile, it’s clear that you already have your heart set on something!”
Luo Kai was quietly listening to Brother Huan's analysis and came to the same conclusion as him.
Zhang Qinghuan turned to look at him again: "Actually, we all thought you wouldn't come."
"Li Qingqing asked Lilith to be the bridesmaid."
"Then you don't have to come..."
"I didn't tell Lilith about the past."
Zhang Qinghuan looked at Luo Kai in surprise.
"She and Li Qingqing are good friends, and I don't want their friendship to have any flaws." Luo Kai explained. "And...who hasn't had a stupid youth? The past is in the past."
At this point, he laughed again, but Zhang Qinghuan couldn't tell whether he was mocking himself or being free and easy.
"Luo Kai, you are here, we are still looking everywhere...Eh? What the fuck? Brother Huan?!"
Zhou Zijing, Lin Zhiyuan, Peng Weijun, Qin Qi and other teammates from the Chinese team came over and their eyes widened when they saw Zhang Qinghuan standing next to Luo Kai.
"Brother Huan, didn't you say you wouldn't come?" Qin Qi asked in surprise.
Zhang Qinghuan opened his arms and shook his shoulders: "Isn't it just to give you a Sapriasi! Are you surprised or surprised?"
※※※
Zhao Kangming walked into the wedding ceremony venue that had been arranged, then turned around and looked around, and suddenly laughed.
Shi Wuyin, who was following him, turned to look at him: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing... I just suddenly remembered that when I was here, Hu Lai and the others invited the Flash Star team to come to the greenhouse, and ended up leading the whole team here to play a three-on-three knockout match... and they also called it the 'Iron Cage Scorpion'
fight'."
Shi Wuyin suddenly realized: "Ah, that thing, I have the impression, it is really funny, that kid is really good at tricking people. Speaking of which, professional players hold parties and bring the whole team to practice together, Hu
Lai is also the only one."
Zhao Kangming smiled and said: "Yeah. So when I looked at this just now, I was thinking, with everything arranged like this, Hu Lai wouldn't drag Li Qingqing and the guests off the field to play football, right?"
Hearing this, Shi Wuyuan also laughed.
After laughing, he said: "Actually, it's not impossible... That kid always gives us a lot of surprises. He is really different from ordinary people."
Zhao Kangming nodded: "Fortunately, he is different from ordinary people... Hey, I found him."
He pointed to the seat with his name on it, and then looked at the chair next to it.
"Xiao Shi, you are right next to me."
Shi Wuyuan looked at the side of his seat and laughed: "This is Da Qin. Ha, are you coaching the phalanx?"
After laughing, he saw "Wang Yuan" written on the chair next to Qin Lin's seat, which was the name of Qin Lin's wife.
"Oh, they are a couple..."
Then they sat down in their seats and looked at the stadium filled with seats, flowers, arcades, and T-stages in trance.
Perhaps they all remembered the first time they met that extraordinary person.
※※※
"Ouch! Director Zhao, Lao Shi, you are here, I have been looking for you outside for a long time..."
Qin Lin and Wang Yuan came over to greet Zhao Kangming and Shi Wuyuan.
The two people turned around and saw the couple, so they stood up and waved: "Come on, Da Qin, come and sit down, your seat is next to us. Hello, brother and sister!"
Wang Yuan stepped forward to greet: "Hello, brother Zhao, hello, brother Shi!"
"Okay, okay, where is Xiaoqi?" Zhao Kangming found that Qin Lin and Wang Yuan did not have their son with them.
"He is with his teammates..." Wang Yuan turned around and looked to the other side.
Everyone looked over with her and saw the international players surrounding Zhang Qinghuan.
"Brother Huan, Brother Huan, are you really sure you are going back to Tenglong?"
"Yes, fallen leaves return to their roots."
Qin Qi sighed: "You can also return to the Flash Star..."
Zhang Qinghuan smiled and shook his head: "My mother is getting older, and I want to spend more time with her. She has been in the capital all her life and is really not used to the climate here in Jincheng."
"It's true that the climate between the north and the south is so different that the old man can't adapt to it."
Everyone expressed their understanding, and then looked at the silent Luo Kai: "Where are you, Luo Kai? Have you decided on your next home?"
Luo Kai smiled slightly and said: "No surprise, it should be a warship port."
Everyone who knew the answer widened their eyes, and Zhou Zijing even exclaimed:
"Let me go, you really have stayed in the Premier League! Various outside analysis has sworn that you will not be an enemy of Tramed in the Premier League!"
Lin Zhiyuan looked down upon Zhou Zijing's surprise: "Do you believe what the self-media said? Luo Kai's wife plays in the Premier League, where can he go? Are they still living apart?"
"Battleship Port was fourth last season, right? Now that Luo has gone, he can compete for the league championship next season! When we meet Tramed... there will be something good to watch!"
Chen Rui was fascinated as he watched the Chinese national team players gathered together and chatting and laughing, the expressions on their faces changing constantly.
This attracted Meng Xi's attention: "Chen Rui, what are you doing?"
"I... I want to go up to them and ask for autographs, but I'm afraid it won't be good. I'm afraid they will think I'm a fan who sneaked in... Although I am indeed a fan, I didn't sneak in..." Chen Rui said.
.
"Hey, we've all taken photos with Hu Lai, so we still care about other people's autographs?" Meng Xi shook his head.
Chen Rui said: "I am also their fan..."
"What are you afraid of? Hu Lai and Xiaoyu are not here, but Luo Kai is our teammate!" Yan Yan encouraged Chen Rui.
"I... when I entered the team, Luo Kai had already left..." Chen Rui still didn't dare.
Chu Yifan put his hand on his shoulder: "Let's go, I'll take you to get an autograph."
Then everyone watched Chu Yifan really hugging Chen Rui and walking towards the group of Chinese team players.
After walking up to them, Chu Yifan said a few words to Luo Kai, and Luo Kai took the pen and notebook handed over by Chen Rui.
After signing, he handed it to Zhou Zijing next to him.
Zhou Zijing also pointed at Chen Rui and said something, making the people around him laugh.
Except for Zhou Zijing, all the international players present signed their names for Chen Rui.
Finally, they gathered Chen Rui in the middle and asked Chu Yifan to take a photo of them.
"Japan!" Meng Xi sighed, "I want to go too..."
"Then you go." Mao Xiao said to him.
Unexpectedly, Meng Xi shook his head and refused: "Forget it. This is actually quite good..."
"Hi, um... do you still know me?"
The former members of the Dongchuan Middle School football team who stayed where they were without going to the national players for autographs were attracted by a voice coming from behind them.
They all turned around and saw a professional middle-aged woman wearing a white shirt and skirt smiling and waving to them.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then carefully looked up and down at the woman in front of them, until Yan Yan exclaimed: "Lin...Sister Lin Jin?"
Only then did others recognize it:
The person standing in front of them was Lin Jin, their partner when they participated in the national competition!
Seeing that they recognized her, Lin Jin laughed in relief: "That's great, you haven't forgotten me yet!"
Yan Yan was surprised: "Sister Lin, Hu Lai also invited you?"
Lin Jin was also very emotional: "I didn't expect to receive an invitation from Hu Lai... I'm still very touched, he still remembers me..."
Then she looked at the group of relatively young men in front of her, numbered them one by one with the boy in her memory, and then said happily: "It's really a joy to see you all still together. I seem to be following suit."
Ten years younger."
Yan Yan asked: "Sister Lin, what are you doing now? Are you still in the Football Association?"
Lin Jin nodded: "Well, I'm still in the Football Association. But now I'm no longer on the front line as the contact person for the national competition. I'm responsible for some management work of the national competition."
"Wow, congratulations! Sister Lin is promoted!"
"What promotion? It's true that the work is busier and the pressure is greater. But..." At this point, Lin Jin showed a proud smile, "Our own national competition is getting better and better, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it."
Got it!"

He Feng and Yan Kang stood backstage, looking at the lively scene in front of them, and they checked their watches.
"It's almost time."
"Well, let everyone take a seat."
After speaking, He Feng turned on the microphone, tried the sound check first, and then said: "Dear guests, relatives and friends, the wedding ceremony is about to begin. Please take your seats as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation."
Yan Kang also said, just like when he and He Feng partnered to commentate on the game: "Yes, we know that everyone will have endless chats when we meet today. Don't worry, there will be plenty of time for everyone to reminisce. Now please come back as soon as possible
Take your seat...the auspicious time is coming!"
After the words fell, everyone who was chatting returned to their seats one after another.
"Here I go, the host of today's wedding is 'poet' and 'beautiful'!"
Yan Yan exclaimed and sat down in his own seat with his friends.
He Feng and Yan Kang walked onto the stage, and before they could speak, the people in the audience cheered.
He Feng said to Yan Kang: "Yan Kang, it seems that we are quite popular? You see, we started applauding and cheering before we even spoke!"
Yan Kang nodded: "Isn't that right? It's beautiful!"
He made a joke about himself, which made everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
After everyone finished laughing, He Feng said: "Stop, we are not here to commentate on the game..."
Yan Kang asked back: "Are you talking about cross talk?"
There was another burst of laughter from the audience.
Amidst the roar of laughter, He Feng said angrily: "Is the cross talk ridiculous? We are here to host the wedding!"
Yan Kang suddenly realized: "Oh - which two's wedding is it?"
"Get down!" He Feng pushed Yan Kang, and Yan Kang was actually pushed away two steps.
He even felt aggrieved: "What's wrong?"
He Feng put one hand on his hip and held the microphone in the other: "You are going to be the host. You don't know who is getting married today? You are here to cause trouble, right?"
Yan Kang quickly laughed and said: "Just kidding, I'm just kidding you, why don't I know who is getting married today?"
"you know?"
"Know!"
"You know? Then you can introduce it to us."
"Okay." Yan Kang cleared his throat, "Today's groom is a talented man, handsome and unrestrained. Hu Lai won the World Cup Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer! The bride is beautiful and generous, and has a heroic appearance. She won the Women's World Cup Golden Ball Award and the World Football Miss Li Qingqing!"
"good!"
A group of people in the audience cheered and applauded at the top of their lungs.
He Feng stretched out his hand to the T stage and said loudly: "Then let's invite today's leading actor, our groom Guan'er, to appear!"
With the sound of music, the groomsmen took the lead, and with everyone’s applause, whistles and cheers, Hu Lai made a shining appearance!
"Ouch, I thought Yan Kang was using exaggerated rhetoric just now, but Hu Lai is so handsome today..."
"Is this really the Hu Lai we know?"
Someone in the audience was whispering.
After Hu Lai stood on the stage, Zhang Qinghuan put his hands in front of his mouth and shouted: "You are so handsome, Hu Lai!!"
Qin Qi put his hand to his mouth and blew a loud whistle.
Hu Lai gave them a thumbs up and a thumbs up.
Xie Lan sat on the first row of chairs, in this lively scene, looking up at his son, with a happy and gratified smile on his face.
He Feng took a new microphone, handed it to Hu Lai, and asked at the same time: "Let me interview our groom. How about it, Hu Lai, are you happy?"
Hu Lai nodded: "Happy!"
He Feng followed up and asked, "You have been together for so many years. Logically speaking, you should be used to each other. Are you still so happy?"
Hu Lai continued to nod: "Still happy!"
"Why?"
"As long as we are together, we will be happy." Hu Lai replied. "Not just happy today, but happy every day!"
He Feng was stunned, and Yan Kang next to him exclaimed: "What a good guy! What are the top love words - sincerity is the last resort! I finally know how you, Hu Lai, were able to attract Li Qingqing's favor!"
Hu Lai smiled after receiving the compliment.
※※※
On the temporary video wall, there were blockbuster-like wedding photos that Li Ziqiang had only seen before.
This is the entrance to the main venue of the wedding ceremony. He and his daughter are waiting to appear.
Li Qingqing, who was wearing a wedding dress, looked at her father happily: "Dad, you look so handsome in a suit!"
Li Ziqiang smiled and said nothing.
Li Qingqing said again: "Dad, thank you."
Li Ziqiang asked: "Why do you say that?"
The daughter explained: "Thank you for allowing me to be with Hu Lai."
Seeing his daughter's serious look, Li Ziqiang couldn't help but reach out and touch her head - but he didn't really touch it, because there was still a veil and crown decoration on it.
He said: "I said, just do it if you like it. I said it sincerely, without forcing it. Hu Lai is indeed the most suitable for you... If it were anyone else, I might really disagree."
Li Qingqing laughed: "After all, he is your proud disciple, he knows everything!"
Li Ziqiang heard the teasing tone from his daughter's "proud disciple", and he was helpless. He knew that even if he had found so many reasons and excuses, his daughter should have noticed that he was targeting Hu Lai.
"However, I still have to thank you, dad. If you had given up on him directly instead of targeting him, I'm afraid there would not have been Hu Lai later. Hu Lai has never resented you."
Li Ziqiang waved his hand: "Don't talk about the past anymore..."
It was at this time that Xu Wen, the leader of the bridesmaid group, came around from the front and informed them: "It's time for Qingqing to appear!"
At the same time, He Feng's passionate voice came from the venue behind the screen wall:
"Let us welcome, the beautiful bride and her father!"
Li Qingqing heard this and took her father's hand, but Li Ziqiang broke away. Just when she was still a little surprised, Li Ziqiang took her hand.
Then they walked around the screen wall and entered the venue.
The six bridesmaids were already standing in two rows waiting for them.
As soon as they entered the venue, they attracted everyone's attention.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Qingqing and Li Ziqiang passed through the queue of bridesmaids and walked up the steps onto the T stage.
Then he walked all the way to the flower pavilion and stopped.
He Feng pointed to the past and said: "Look, Hu Lai, that is the bride you have dreamed of! Now, go over and greet your bride!"
Amid cheers, whistles, and applause, Hu Lai stepped forward to greet him.
Li Qingqing watched him get closer and closer, and the smile on his face became brighter.
Until Hu Lai stood in front of her and stared at her.
She also stared at Hu Lai with a smile.
"Now, please give the father his daughter's hand to the groom's hand..."
Li Ziqiang obediently handed his daughter's hand into Hu Lai's palm.
But when Hu Lai wanted to take Li Qingqing away, he didn't move.
Li Qingqing also turned to look at his father in surprise.
Li Ziqiang didn't pay attention to his daughter's eyes. He just stared at Hu Lai and said in a low voice: "Hu Lai... I entrusted my daughter to you."
Hu Lai answered simply: "Don't worry, Dad."
But Li Ziqiang still didn't let go: "You have to be nice to her and don't bully her."
Li Qingqing looked at her father's aging face, gray hair and deep wrinkles, and pursed her lips tightly.
Hu Lai promised seriously: "I will always be good to Qingqing, Dad."
After receiving Hu Lai's promise, Li Ziqiang let go of his hand and said softly: "Go."
Then he turned around and walked off the stage.
He left very simply, as if he didn't feel reluctant to leave at all.
Hu Lai and Li Qingqing watched him walk behind the screen wall before turning around.
He Feng announced excitedly from the front: "Please invite the bride and groom to come to the stage!"
Hu Lai and Li Qingqing looked over, and everyone present was looking at them.
Hu Lai's parents, grandparents, Li Qingqing's grandparents, grandparents... and other relatives and friends.
There were also teammates from the Chinese men's and women's national teams. They stood up from their seats and turned to look at them.
Their classmates, friends, and teachers also looked at them.
Seeing this situation, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing turned to look at each other in tacit understanding.
Then they stepped forward at the same time, facing everyone's gaze, and walked forward hand in hand.
Toward their new life.
※※※
The football museum of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing was crowded with tourists.
The most popular one is undoubtedly the last exhibition hall of this museum.
The queue of people has already lined up from the exhibition hall and stretches into the distance against the outer wall of the museum.
So many people are willing to wait in line under the scorching sun, naturally to see the only exhibits in this exhibition hall up close and take photos with them.
There is only one glass display cabinet in the huge exhibition hall.
Two golden trophies are placed side by side in the cabinet, attracting people's attention.
The metal nameplate next to the trophy on the left reads:
"2031 Brazilian Women's World Cup Champion"
Next to the Hercules Cup on the right, there is also a metal nameplate:
"2034 China World Cup Champion"
People came and went in the exhibition hall, but they remained silent.

When I finally finished writing, it was already past two in the morning.
I don’t have time to insist on typos. If you see them, please help me correct them.
In addition, I will write the final remarks after I fall asleep...
Thank you all for your support and companionship along the way. This story is over!
