Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei got out of the taxi, carrying their suitcases, and stood in front of the gate engraved with "National Football Training Base", a little longing and a little confused.
The Hongmangling training base is so big, where should their U22 students sign up?
"There seems to be a sign over there." Wang Guangwei pointed into the distance and said.
At this moment, two more taxis stopped behind them.
Two people got off the two cars. They looked at each other, and the person who got off the car behind laughed: "Hey, Zijian! I guessed all the way in the car, saying that the car in front of me
Will the person I have the same destination be? I didn’t expect it to be you!”
The short man who got off the car in front also laughed when he saw him: "Song Kun, what a coincidence, we arrived at the same time!"
Apparently they knew each other.
The two people picked up their luggage and walked to the door together. They also saw Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei standing at the door.
"Hey, two new faces. Are you the 'fresh blood' mentioned in the news?" The tall Song Kun walked up to Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei and looked at them curiously.
Wang Guangwei quickly greeted them with a smile: "Hello, we are from Anton Shining Star. My name is Wang Guangwei and his name is Hu Lai."
"What the hell?" Song Kun was stunned for a moment.
"Hu Lai is the very random Hu Lai." Hu Lai said himself.
"Pfft..." Song Kun couldn't help but laugh, and then realized that what he did was not good, so he apologized to Hu Lai: "Sorry, I didn't mean it..."
Next to him, Wang Zijian's eyes widened: "Are you Hu Lai?"
"You know me?" Hu Lai was surprised.
Wang Zijian shook his head: "I don't know you, but I have heard my friends mention you many times."
"Uh... may I ask who your friend is?" Hu Lai thought the relationship was really confusing.
"My friend's name is Sun Gang. He plays for the Meiling Rangers in the Chinese League One. He told me about you, saying that there was a person from Flash Star who was particularly good at scoring goals."
Sun Gang?
Hu Lai thought about it for a long time, but he never expected that there would be such a person in the opponent's formation when playing against the Meiling Rangers.
But he didn't say that, he just acted like he was happy because the other party praised him.
"Really? Did he really say that? Haha! That's great! That's great!"
Wang Guangwei looked at Hu Lai throwing his head back and laughing, and thought to himself that you don't look modest at all...
"He said that you only played for less than half a season and you scored 11 goals in the league. Then I actually looked for last season's Chinese League top scorer list, and sure enough I saw your name. No wonder you were selected.
What about the U22 training team this time... Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet, hello, my name is Wang Zijian, I am a winger and I play football in Yunyang Phoenix."
Wang Zijian seemed to be a very enthusiastic person. He pointed to the tall man next to him and said: "His name is Song Kun, he is a goalkeeper and he plays football for the Nanjiarui Lions."
Hu Lai exclaimed: "Wow, the Chinese Super League! It's amazing!"
Yunyang Phoenix and Nanjiarui Lions are both Chinese Super League teams.
Wang Zijian waved his hands repeatedly: "What's so great about being a substitute in the Chinese Super League? If it weren't for the U23 policy, we wouldn't even be able to be a substitute. I'm lucky, but Song Kun is even worse. The goalkeeper position is special. He basically plays in the club."
It’s rare to get into the game…”
Song Kun said dissatisfied: "Who said I can't play in the game? Isn't the reserve team game a game?"
Wang Zijian smiled at him, then turned to Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei: "It's better for you, you are both the real main force in the team."
Wang Guangwei quickly expressed his humility: "It's just a Chinese League One team, and the competition is not as fierce as your Chinese Super League..."
The four of them just walked in while talking. With the guidance of Wang Zijian and Song Kun, two regulars of the Olympic team, Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei easily found the registration place.
After registering their identity information, they were assigned to the same room.
※※※
"Wow, luckily I'm assigned to a room with Qingqing. If I were assigned to a room with a stranger, I would be too embarrassed to even say a word..."
After entering the dormitory and closing the door, Xu Wen let out a long breath.
Li Qingqing laughed when he heard this: "That is indeed uncomfortable for you."
"Hey, Qingqing is better. Sister Yuehua is too serious, and sharing a room with her is too stressful..." Xu Wen stuck out her tongue.
Then the two people started to pack their luggage, mainly various toiletries and skin care products.
Female football players pay more attention to sun protection than ordinary women, after all, they basically train in an environment exposed to the sun.
They wear sunscreen not to make their skin whiter and more beautiful, but to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to their skin.
Most female football players have dark skin, which is tanned by the sun.
Even a naturally beautiful girl like Li Qingqing has wheat-colored skin.
After packing their things, Xu Wen and Li Qingqing sat down and checked their mobile phones while chatting. Of course, Xu Wen was mainly talking and Li Qingqing was listening.
"Hey, Qingqing, I heard that the National Olympic team will train with us in the same training base. Qingqing, do you have any experience training with the men's football team before?"
"No, it's my first time too." Li Qingqing shook his head.
"Wow, I don't know what it was like at that time, but I suddenly felt hopeful. Are there any handsome guys on the Olympic team this time?"
"Why do you care so much about this..."
"Don't you care?"
"I don't care." Li Qingqing shook his head.
"That's right, you don't have to care, but they have to care whether you come or not, haha!" Xu Wen teased Li Qingqing, who was one year younger than her.
Everyone knows the name of the "Flower of Women's Football" Li Qingqing. She will be warmly welcomed wherever she goes with the team.
As Li Qingqing's teammate in the club, Xu Wen is used to it, or in other words, anyone who is Li Qingqing's teammate will be used to it.
Who made Li Qingqing look good, have a good figure, and have a good temper?
Isn't it normal for such a goddess to be popular everywhere?
And Li Qingqing is so outstanding that you can't even be jealous.
Li Qingqing held her mobile phone and glanced at the news on it from time to time.
This is "old news".
"...The Football Association announced the list of the U22 training team this time. Twenty-eight people were selected from the Chinese Super League and seven from the Chinese Premier League. They are:..."
Hu Lai's name is on this list.
Before coming to the Hongfengling training base, she knew that she would train with Hu Lai in the same place, but she did not tell Hu Lai, but thought about finding an opportunity to surprise him then.
Xu Wen was still nagging: "...I don't know if we are training with the Olympic team. Speaking of which, I haven't seen them since I came in..."
Li Qingqing replied casually: "Training should not be close to each other, so as not to interfere with each other. The dormitories are also far away. We are at this end and they are at the other end."
"Ah? How can I meet people from the Olympic team?"
"The only thing left to do is eat, right?"
As soon as Li Qingqing finished speaking, there was a knock on the door: "It's time to eat!"
It was the voice of their captain Shi Yuehua.
※※※
Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei finished packing their things and were lying on the bed to rest when they heard a knock on the door outside.
I went to open the door and found that it was Wang Zijian and Song Kun, and there was another person following them.
When the man saw Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei, he opened his arms and laughed: "Ha! Hu Lai! Wang Guangwei!"
Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei looked at him confused.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Sun Gang. Has Zijian already told you about me?"
Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei suddenly realized: "Oh oh oh! It's you! Yes, he said it!"
Neither of them said that they had never seen Sun Gang on the court during the match against the Meiling Rangers.
But Sun Gang said it himself: "I was watching the game on the bench. Although we won in the end, your performance was really good!"
Hu Lai: "The point is actually you won in the end, right?"
Sun Gang laughed heartily.
Wang Zijian stood up and waved: "Come on, let's go have a meal."
Wang Guangwei was very happy to meet Wang Zijian, Song Kun and Sun Gang as soon as he came to the team. Both he and Hu Lai entered the U22 for the first time. Previously, because of their status as student players, they had played with players of all ages.
The national team has no chance.
Many players on this team are actually U20, U19, U17, and U16 players who have been promoted all the way up.
We have been playing football together before and have known each other for many years and have already become a small group.
And he and Hu Lai were new arrivals and didn't know anyone. It was not easy to integrate into this team.
But now it's better. With the very enthusiastic Wang Zijian and his friends, it will be much easier for him and Hu Lai to integrate into the team.
This is like when Hu Lai just transferred to Star Flash. With him as an "acquaintance", he brought him into contact with his teammates. Coupled with Hu Lai's own flexible and adaptable character, he quickly got along with his teammates.
.
This went very smoothly.
On the way to the training camp, he had been worrying about this issue.
But Hu Lai seemed to have never thought about it at all.
Now that Wang Zijian was willing to introduce other teammates to them, Wang Guangwei breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I thought that the reason why Hu Lai had not worried about this problem was because he already knew that something like this would definitely happen?
No... he probably just doesn't have this string in his mind.

"...The entire training base is divided into three areas: A, B, and C. Area A is the administrative office building and physical therapy room. Our dormitories are in Area B, and the restaurant is in Area C. There is also an artificial lake there, which is quite beautiful.
You can go for a walk after dinner." On the way from the dormitory building to the restaurant, Wang Zijian introduced the situation in the training base to two new teammates, Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei.
As a player who has participated in the national youth teams at all levels, he is naturally familiar with the facilities at the Hongmangling training base. He has obviously trained here more than once.
"Why are you taking a walk?" Song Kun complained, "Are you going to feed the mosquitoes?"
Then he turned to Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei and said, "Do you know why we have to stay in Area B but go to Area C with the artificial lake to eat? Because in addition to people needing to eat, mosquitoes also need to eat!"
"There are two restaurants in Area C? One for people to eat, and one for mosquitoes to eat?" Hu Lai asked.
"Yes, that artificial lake is a restaurant for mosquitoes. It's okay now, the weather is cold, but if we come here for training in the summer, it will be like a full banquet for mosquitoes!" Song Kun seemed to have a deep resentment towards mosquitoes.
Hu Lai thought of a joke, saying that since blood is plasma with blood cells floating in it, for mosquitoes, sucking blood is like drinking bubble milk tea with a straw?
He told this joke to everyone, which aroused everyone's imagination. Song Kun first said: "What about the ones with blood clots?"
"The pearl is too big?" Hu Lai said.
"Isn't high blood sugar just polysaccharide?" Sun Gang next to him interjected.
"So hypoglycemia means less sugar?" Wang Zijian made an analogy.
Wang Guangwei asked: "What does high blood fat mean?"
"Milk cap!" Hu Lai opened his mouth and came.
Several young people laughed so hard that they clapped their hands hard and leaned forward and back.
※※※
"Wow, artificial lake! So beautiful!" When Xu Wen followed Shi Yuehua, Li Qingqing and several other national team teammates to the restaurant, she saw the artificial lake next to the restaurant at a glance.
The green grass on the shore extends into the lake at a gentle slope. Xu Wen can even imagine that if the weather is good and the warm afternoon sun hangs low in the sky, she will lay out a picnic mat here and put a few pieces on it.
Pastry, petting the cat while enjoying the sunshine, what a wonderful life it must be...
However, Li Qingqing shattered all the beautiful scenery she imagined with just one sentence, just like throwing a stone into this artificial lake, causing all the reflections on the calm lake to disappear.
She said: "Wenwen, don't look at this artificial lake. It looks beautiful, but don't even think about coming here to bask in the sun."
"Ah? Why?"
"You're not here to bask in the sun, you're here to feed the mosquitoes."
Shi Yuehua nodded beside him: "Well, the mosquitoes in Hongmaple Ridge are very powerful. The hard currency in the base is mosquito repellent water."
Li Qingqing pointed to the lake and said: "Wenwen, please lower yourself a little and look from another angle. Can you see the black masses flying in the sky?"
"That's..." Xu Wen did see it, and her expression changed.
"Those are mosquitoes." Li Qingqing said.
Xu Wen got goosebumps all over her body, and she could no longer piece together the scene she had just imagined in her mind...
