The playground of Dongchuan Middle School was so noisy at noon that the students who wanted to take a lunch break or do homework in the teaching building were unable to concentrate.
Even when Hu Lai scored his first two goals, there were brief cheers.
But now, at this moment, when Hu Lai sent the football into the second team's goal for the third time, no one in the stands on both sides of the playground made a sound.
Even Li Qingqing stood there, staring blankly at the stadium.
She couldn't believe that Hu Lai had completed a hat trick just like that.
Everyone stared in silence at the door of the second team.
This silence and stillness was broken by a burst of laughter.
At the focus of everyone's attention, the figure who had fallen to the ground stood up, jumped up, and ran towards the corner flag area with teeth and claws.
It wasn't until he ran closer that everyone noticed that there was a bright red color on his face, or specifically under his nose and around his mouth...
That's blood.
But I can't see clearly and I don't know if it's nose bleeding or mouth bleeding.
The blood was thrown into the air with his exaggerated head shaking, falling on his shoulders, his arms, and his clothes, making the red color of the training vest darker.
But he didn't realize it, or didn't care at all. He just laughed loudly, roared to the sky, and danced. He was like a child who was rewarded with going to an amusement park.
There was silence in the stands. It was not until a while later that Li Qingqing and Song Jiajia heard a soft cry from behind them: "This damn... luck is so bad, isn't it?! Did this person save the galaxy in his previous life?"

After the first test match, Li Zhiqun limped back to the classroom. He didn't want to stay on the sidelines anymore, staying in that sad place.
After returning to the classroom, he sat in his seat and rubbed his strained muscles. He recalled the game just now and felt very upset.
He had been looking forward to this game because he wanted to see Hu Lai make a fool of himself.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai scored three goals. Although it was just bad luck, it was still three goals, right?
On the contrary, I was injured and ended up injured before I had any impressive performance... I felt that I was the one who made a fool of myself.
The students who had watched the excitement returned to the classroom one after another. Both men and women were discussing the game that had just ended. The girls were more concerned about Luo Kai's performance. He completed two hat tricks in that game, shining brightly.
Incomparable.
Unexpectedly, the boys mentioned Hu Lai's name more often.
"I really didn't expect that Hu Lai could score three goals..."
"Yeah, you can't tell it at all usually..."
"Hey, do you think he will really join the school team?"
Hearing this, Li Zhiqun couldn't hold back and snorted loudly from his nose: "What are you thinking? Can you enter the school team by scoring three goals? How can it be so easy to enter the school team?"
The classmate who was rebutted by Li Zhiqun couldn't help but argued: "You have scored three goals, why can't you join the school team?"
"Does scoring three goals make you awesome? Hu Lai is just lucky!" Speaking of this, Li Zhiqun became so angry that his voice rose a few degrees. "Anyone could have scored those three goals.
, what’s so rare! What does it mean to score a goal by good luck? It means it cannot be copied! Can you guarantee that he will be so lucky in every game? Only if he is lucky will he score a goal, if he is not lucky, he will not score a goal, score a goal
It’s like luck... Which coach would recruit such a person to the school team? Is he out of his mind!"
Li Qingqing happened to walk to the door of the classroom and heard Li Zhiqun's eloquent talk coming from inside.
She frowned slightly.
The person arguing in the classroom fell silent when he heard what Li Zhiqun said.
Because if you think about it carefully, what Li Zhiqun said makes sense.
Any coach hopes that his players will have a stable state and pin all hopes on illusory luck. That is not something that professional coaches can do.
Li Qingqing also returned to his seat in silence.
At this moment, a voice came from the corridor outside: "Hu Daxian Hu Daxian!"
"Hu Lai, you must have used all your good luck in this life here!"
Then Hu Lai's voice sounded: "What kind of luck? I rely on my strength!"
"Yes, yes, it's strength, it's strength. Can you tell me the lottery numbers for tonight's draw?"
The roar of laughter came from outside. Amidst the laughter, Hu Leon walked into the classroom first and sat down in his seat.
Li Qingqing looked at Hu Lai like this and thought of how seriously he was conducting special training before taking part in the team test. Now he must be happy with his performance, right? After all, he scored three goals and completed a hat trick.
But will these three goals really allow him to be selected for the school team?
To be honest, Li Qingqing doesn't feel confident now.

Hu Lai, who was carrying a schoolbag, stood at the entrance of a lottery shop. There were several people standing in the small store, surrounding the lottery machine, passing the pieces of paper in their hands.
In front of the lottery machine, there was a middle-aged aunt with permed hair sitting, her eyes were raised on the bridge of her nose, her eyes were narrowed, she took the pieces of paper handed by those people with one hand, and kept pressing the buttons on the lottery machine quickly. She didn't even think about it.
Don't look at the numbers on the screen, it's very skillful.
Soon, a fresh lottery ticket was played and handed over to the person waiting next to him.
The person who got the lottery ticket carefully checked the numbers on the lottery ticket and carefully put it in his pocket. However, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he turned around and walked to the wall behind the lottery machine and stared at the wall.
Study the lottery number trend chart.
This is a lottery station that Hu Lai passes by every day when he goes to and from school, but he has never thought of coming here before.
Standing at the door of the lottery station today, Hu Lai hesitated whether to buy himself a lottery ticket.
The reason why he had such an idea was because those classmates who were making noises gave him inspiration.
He still has a very clear understanding of himself. Despite the plug-in, it is really difficult for him to complete a hat trick in such a short period of time without relying on luck.
And the facts also proved that he was really lucky in the game.
Especially the third goal. Under such circumstances, the football was able to hit me in the face and then bounce into the goal...
If there is no need to explain such a goal by luck, there really is no second reason.
Although he refuted the classmates' comments about his good luck in the corridor, he had a secret in his heart, so he just refused to admit defeat with his mouth.
How can you admit to your face that your scoring goals depended on luck?
But now, he was standing at the door of the lottery station, thinking that it would not be bad to get rich overnight by luck.
If I really win five million, I can pay off all the foreign debts my family owes.

The busy lottery station aunt caught a glimpse of a figure standing nearby from the corner of her eye, but she did not hand over the paper and asked without raising her head: "What are you playing for?"
A young voice sounded: "Shuangseqiu, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven."
The aunt's hand was about to press the button reflexively, but stopped when it was about to touch the button. The aunt raised her head, frowning and staring at the middle school student standing in front of her, carrying a schoolbag and wearing a school uniform.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yeah." The middle school student nodded.
"How many times?"
"Just one note..."
The aunt stopped talking and blindly played out a lottery ticket and handed it to the middle school student.
Hu Lai took the lottery ticket that was still warm and confirmed that the seven numbers on it were indeed 01,02,03,04,05,06+07.
He flicked the lottery ticket and put it in his school uniform pocket.
The lottery ticket was warm, and so was his heart.
