Chapter 76 No matter how beautiful the sunset is, it can't compare to your smile
"Volley!"
"Fish leap to the top!"
"The lion shakes his head!"
"Upside down golden hook!"
…
Feng Jie stood in front of the window of his office and looked at the nine-a-side football field in the distance through the glass window. The man and woman who, in his opinion, were just here for a date, could only be seen in various promotional posters at the football park.
His movements drove the football into the goal again and again.
Or just all kinds of fancy ball-driving skills.
The two also used their heads to pass the ball to each other from the center line of the field to the front of the goal. In the end, the boy lifted the football high, and then the girl kicked the football into the goal with a beautiful upside-down golden hook...
Feng Jie was dumbfounded.
How can you talk about love like this?!
Couples often go to the park to hang out under the moonlit flowers, saying love words like "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight"; or they go to watch a horror movie, and when the girl is so frightened that her face turns pale, they take the opportunity to
Hold the other person tightly in your arms; or go shopping together hand in hand. The girl will pick up a Gucci bag and ask her boyfriend if it looks good, and then pick up a Burberry dress and ask her boyfriend if it matches
Do her shoes match...
This is the normal way to fall in love, right?
Why did you two feed the audience dog food by feeding each other balls?
Bah! A single dog will never be a slave!
Damn, this ball is beautiful...
Feng Jie resisted the urge to clap and clap, he just wanted to cry and see his girlfriend!

After Hu Lai flew up and volleyed the football into the goal with his feet, he lay directly on the turf without getting up. His chest heaved violently and he was breathing heavily.
Li Qingqing walked to him and sat down, her face flushed and she was also out of breath.
"It feels so good!" She shook her messy hair and exhaled.
"Have you digested your food?" Hu Lai asked as he was lying on the ground.
"It's gone, it's gone, I feel like I can have another meal now!" Li Qingqing said happily.
Hu Lai sighed, "It's a pity that Fatty Song is not here."
"He is studying abroad, so it won't be easy for him to come back. Besides, with Song Jiajia here, he won't be able to play football."
"He can guard the goal." Hu Lai said.
Li Qingqing turned to look at Hu Lai in surprise: "He can guard the goal?"
"No, if he puts himself at the door, he can block almost half of the goal."
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment and realized that Hu Lai was complaining about Song Jiajia being fat. She smiled and patted Hu Lai's arm, "It's not good for you to say bad things about Song Jiajia."
Hu Lai looked at the sky and asked, "Do you know Zhang Qinghuan?"
"I know, your teammate is a super genius."
"He changed his agent, and he was a very nice middle-aged man. He wanted to be my agent, but I rejected him at first. I was negotiating a contract with the club recently, and I originally planned to find the club myself.
, and he helped me... When will Fatty Song really be an agent?" Hu Lai continued to look at the sky.
Li Qingqing said, "I don't have an agent either."
"You also want Song Jiajia to be your agent?" Hu Lai asked.
"why not?"
"Do you have an endorsement contract or something?"
"not yet."
Hu Lai was a little surprised. He stood up from the ground and said, "You are so beautiful and you play well. Why don't you have an endorsement contract? Isn't the overall image of the women's football team always very good?"
Li Qingqing did not answer Hu Lai's question, but asked, "Am I beautiful?"
Hu Lai stared at Li Qingqing's face, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Beautiful."
Hearing this, Li Qingqing's eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles. "My dad and Uncle Yang both said, let me focus on football and not be distracted by business development. They said that with my talent, I shouldn't just play football in China. Let me play football in China."
Before going to play football abroad, don’t think about any commercial endorsements.”
"Are you going to play football abroad?"
"Well, I will participate in the Women's World Cup next summer. According to the route discussed by my father and Uncle Yang, I should go to Europe to play football after the World Cup."
Hu Lai was a little distracted when he heard the words "World Cup".
While he was still feeling complacent about his outstanding performance in the Chinese League One, Li Qingqing was already going to play in the World Cup.
Although it is the World Cup for women's football, it is also the highest honor in the field of women's football!
I originally thought that I would be able to catch up with the opponent when I entered professional football, but now it seems that I am being pulled further and further away from her...
"What's wrong with you?" Li Qingqing asked when Hu Lai didn't speak.
"Thinking about the World Cup, you have gone to participate in the World Cup, and I am still in the Chinese League... The World Cup in Qatar will start soon, but it has nothing to do with us. No one knows whether the Chinese team will participate in the World Cup four years later..." Hu
Lai frowned.
Li Qingqing naturally knew that the difficulty of participating in the World Cup for the men's and women's football teams was very different, and she also knew the current situation of the Chinese men's football team, but she still slapped her hands and encouraged Hu Lai, "You are only nineteen years old, and your football career has just begun. Hu Lai
Lai. There is still time and opportunity."
But her encouragement did not cheer up Hu Lai, but made him even lower.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Li Qingqing was surprised.
"No...I just thought of Qin Lin, Brother Lin." Hu Lai shook his head and said, "When he was selected for the Chinese team, I am afraid everyone, including himself, believed that he would lead the Chinese team to the World Cup in the future.
of."
Even if Li Qingqing is a women's football player, she knows Qin Lin's story very well, so without Hu Lai saying anything more, she also knows why Hu Lai is depressed.
That is indeed an extremely sad story.
Although Hu Lai is only 19 years old, he is still very young. But the World Cup comes only every four years, and how many four years does a professional player's career last?
For a moment, Li Qingqing didn't know how to comfort Hu Lai and encourage him.
Finding that Li Qingqing was also depressed, Hu Lai quickly got up from the ground, patting the rubber particles on his body and said, "It's useless to think about it now. Whether I can enter the World Cup or not is not my decision. First,
Let’s work hard in that direction.”
Then he stood in front of Li Qingqing, with his back to her, and punched the sky, "Work hard! Fight!"
Li Qingqing, who was sitting on the artificial turf, put his hands behind his back, leaned back slightly, looked at Hu Lai's slightly middle-aged back, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

When the man and woman finally finished their 90-minute reservation and were about to leave, Feng Jie walked up to him with a smile and gave a thumbs up to the boy who put on his hat and sunglasses again, "Brother, you're awesome!"
Hu Lai thought he was just praising his skills and answered with a smile, "The venue is good!"
Feng Jie quickly handed over the venue business card in his hand, "Come again next time, brother. You can add me on WeChat and reserve the venue directly on WeChat..." As he said that, he looked at the tall girl standing next to the boy and added, "
Let’s play together!”
"Next time, definitely next time..." Hu Lai took the business card, said perfunctorily, and left with Li Qingqing.
It will be weird next time...it was just a last-minute idea.
Looking at the background of a man and a woman, Feng Jie shook his head behind him.
Both of them play football so well, what a couple!

Hu Lai originally planned to call a car to take Li Qingqing home first, and then go back by himself.
But when the car arrived at the alley where Li Qingqing's home was, he was pulled out of the car by Li Qingqing.
"What are you doing?" Hu Lai was puzzled.
"Follow me." Li Qingqing led the way, but instead of going home, he turned to the entrance of the small alley where the secret base was located.
This place has been blocked by a wall.
Li Qingqing lifted up the barrier of the fence with ease, and Hu Lai discovered that the barrier here was not fastened, and the gap opened was just enough for a person to pass through.
Li Qingqing asked Hu Lai to go in first, and then she followed.
"This place is going to be demolished. I want to take you to take another look." Li Qingqing said. "This is your secret base."
Hu Lai didn't expect that he would still have a chance to come in.
The two people walked through the narrow alley and arrived at the secret base.
It looked even more deserted than the last time he saw it on TV. Even the middle part of the yard was covered with grass.
He turned his attention to the stone wall, where the goal he had drawn on it was almost unrecognizable.
While he was staring there in a daze, Li Qingqing found a small stone from nowhere, held it in his hand, stepped on all the weeds in front of him with his long legs, and walked step by step to "
"In front of the goal".
Then after some identification, she used a stone to carefully trace the goal that Hu Lai had originally drawn on the bluestone wall, making the white goal outline more conspicuous on the blue-black stone wall.
Then she threw the stones, patted the plaster in her hands, turned to Hu Lai and said, "This is the place where your football dream began, and it is also the place where I first met you, but now it is going to be demolished."
Hu Lai looked at her standing in front of the stone wall, and she began to walk towards him.
"I want to keep this place, but I can't say this. So I want to take a photo with you here and keep this place in the photo." Li Qingqing walked up to Hu Lai, looked at him levelly, and asked
, "Okay?"
Hu Lai nodded "Okay."
Li Qingqing laughed happily after Hu Lai agreed.
"But if we take a group photo, who will take the photo for us?" Hu Lai spread his hands.
"The mountain man has his own clever plan." Li Qingqing took out his mobile phone, held it horizontally with his right hand, raised it high, and stretched it out far away.
Frame yourself and the stone wall behind you in the picture. The white goal is very eye-catching on the blue-black stone wall.
Then she said to Hu Lai, "Stand beside me."
Hu Lai obediently went around to Li Qingqing's left. He also appeared in the picture, but blocked the goal behind.
Li Qingqing in the viewfinder curled her lips and frowned, "Go behind me, then move closer to me, and tilt your head a little...not to the outside, but to my side, okay!"
Li Qingqing directed Hu Lai to assume a posture, and then her head leaned slightly towards Hu Lai.
Now the two people's heads were almost touching. Hu Lai smelled the fragrance of Li Qingqing again. It was the same as the fragrance of the laundry detergent, but different. In addition to the smell of the laundry detergent, there was also a faint fragrance.
, it was very light, almost inaudible, but after it was mixed with the smell of laundry detergent, Hu Lai keenly captured that this was the smell on the jersey that Li Qingqing brought to him!
He suddenly understood why it was clearly the same brand and model of laundry detergent, but the smell was just a little different...
"Okay!" Just when Hu Lai was distracted, Li Qingqing pressed the shutter and completed this selfie.
When she straightened her head, Hu Lai found that the faint fragrance disappeared.
He felt a little regretful in his heart... Damn it, unless Li Qingqing washes my clothes, I won't be able to smell that good smell anymore!
Li Qingqing didn't know what was going on in Hu Lai's mind. She opened the photo and checked the effect.
When she opened the picture, her phone automatically reposted it, and then she let out a wow sound.
When shooting just now, the front camera of the mobile phone detected two people appearing in the selfie screen, automatically turned on the ultra-wide-angle mode, and used the ultra-wide-angle lens of the front camera. The picture was wider, not only Li Qingqing, Hu Lai, and the people behind them
The goal was photographed, and the sky above the stone wall was even included in the picture. After post-production color correction, the orange-red sunset covered the upper third of the photo.
Thanks to the automatic HR and beauty functions, the sunset in the sky is not overexposed, and the two faces of the subject of the picture are not dull or black.
People, walls, goals, sky, and sunset are all included in this photo.
No wonder Li Qingqing was amazed after seeing it.
"I'll send it to you later." Li Qingqing said happily to Hu Lai.
"Okay." Hu Lai nodded.
Li Qingqing looked at the time and said, "I'm going back. It's time for my dad to get off work."
"I'm going back too," Hu Lai said.
The two people left this secret base in this way.
When they got out from behind the barrier, there were passers-by on bicycles who looked at them curiously, wondering why there were still people coming in and out of this place that was about to be demolished.
The two waved goodbye at the entrance of the alley where Li Qingqing's house lives. Li Qingqing walked straight in and went home. Hu Lai walked forward to the bus stop.
When Li Qingqing returned home, she found that her father was not at home. She walked into her room, stood at the window, and stared at the secret base where she had just taken a photo.
Hu Lai, who was standing on the bus stop, also turned to look in the direction of the secret base, which was blocked by old houses and walls.
The city is moving forward, and there will be many places like the secret base that will be demolished. Maybe one day his area will be included in the old city reconstruction plan, and then it will inevitably be demolished and rebuilt on the original basis.
Brand new high-rise buildings, shiny and bright.
But there are always some things that cannot be demolished, which are the memories and emotions carried on these old houses.
They are preserved in a different way.
With a ding-dong sound, he received the photo Li Qingqing sent to him.
Hu Lai looked down at the photos on his phone.
In the photo, I may be absent-minded, and my expression is a bit reserved, but Li Qingqing next to me has a smile as bright as a flower, which is more beautiful than the sunset behind me.

s, with a smile more beautiful than the sunset, it’s not too much to ask everyone for a few monthly passes, right?
