When school was over in the afternoon, the campus was bustling with people. Students left the campus in groups, but many people were not in a hurry to go home. Many people gathered on the basketball court, all taking advantage of this time to chat with their classmates.
Friends play basketball and relax.
In the past, many people could be seen on the football field.
But today, there were not so many people on the football field, and everyone gathered outside the field.
Because today is the first training session of the school football team.
From now on, every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday after school in the afternoon, this stadium will be used by the school team for forty-five minutes of training.
Curious people, or people interested in football, as well as fans of certain people, stood on the side of the field and in the stands on both sides, surrounding the football field to watch the school team's first training session.
The best view is on the rostrum in the center.
Li Qingqing and Song Jiajia are here now, looking down at the stadium.
"Thank you for what happened at noon." Song Jiajia said to Li Qingqing beside her.
Li Qingqing smiled slightly: "You're welcome."
After learning about the relationship between Li Qingqing and Hu Lai, Song Jiajia felt that there was no need to be polite, but he still wanted to express his gratitude because he wanted to take this opportunity to strike up a conversation with Li Qingqing. There must be a reason for the two of them standing here chatting.
ah.
"By the way, did you really record the video with your mobile phone? Did you know at that time that Li Zhiqun would regret it?" This was the question Song Jiajia wanted to ask the most.
After Li Qingqing stood up to speak for Hu Lai at noon, Song Jiajia became very curious.
Li Qingqing, who was asked this question, suddenly laughed happily. She took out her mobile phone and shook it: "Actually, I don't have any video evidence at all..."
Song Jiajia opened her mouth wide and looked at Li Qingqing in surprise. She didn't expect that Li Qingqing, a class beauty with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also lie, and she would lie to help Hu Lai.
"I guess Li Zhiqun didn't dare to let me play the video of his bet with you in public. Didn't he say nothing in the end?" Li Qingqing winked at Song Jiajia.
Song Jiajia burst into laughter, and then cast her gaze to the distance, where Li Zhiqun was standing.
"The only regret is that Li Zhiqun seems to be planning to default on the debt..." Li Qingqing's tone was full of regret.
Song Jiajia, who looked at Li Zhiqun, smiled and shook his head: "No, this is a good result. Hu Lai and I have already guessed that the kid will definitely not admit it. But as long as he doesn't admit it, Hu Lai and I can justly call him 'a scumbag'
Li'. He asked for this."
Under his gaze, Li Zhiqun seemed to feel something and turned to look over.
Their eyes met in the air, Song Jiajia had a provocative smile on his face, while Li Zhiqun quickly retracted his gaze and returned his gaze to the court pretending to be natural.
"Look! Ha!" Song Jiajia proudly showed it to Li Qingqing.
Looking at Song Jiajia who was smiling happily, Li Qingqing said: "You look very happy."
"Of course I'm happy!" Song Jiajia nodded vigorously.
"But don't you like football? You don't like Hu Lai playing football either. Why..."
Song Jiajia waved her big hands like cattail fans: "That's different. Hu Lai is my friend. I can never watch my friend being bullied by others! As for him playing football..."
He looked at his tablemate who was standing among his teammates on the court.
"I still haven't given up the idea of taking him to eat chicken. You said he has talent. Although I don't understand football, I also know that talent alone is not enough. What else does that kid Hu Lai have besides talent? Look,
With his small body..." At this point, Song Jiajia shook her head, "I don't believe he can do anything good in football anyway. The school team coach probably really thought Hu Lai was talented and recruited him into the team.
. But I think when he discovers Hu Lai’s true strength, I’m afraid he will regret it. Maybe he will expel Hu Lai from the team..."
Li Qingqing, who originally had a smile on his face, gradually disappeared after hearing what Song Jiajia said.
Because she knew that this fat guy who didn't understand football had hit the key point.
She thought of what her father said to her that night.
In terms of football, apart from his talent, Hu Lai is simply a blank sheet of paper...
Although white paper is easy to draw on, it does not guarantee that you will be able to draw a good picture.
※※※
Hu Lai stood on the edge of the crowd, keeping a certain distance from his new teammates.
When he appeared on this court, many of his teammates cast unidentified glances at him.
Curiosity, doubt, confusion, disdain...
Hu Lai could feel this, and his teammates had no intention of hiding their thoughts.
But Hu Lai doesn't care about this. For him, being able to join the school team has already taken the first step successfully. The most important thing is that he is here, instead of just standing on the sidelines and watching training like Li Zhiqun.
.
Thinking of this, he turned his attention to the rostrum and easily found the wretched figure in the crowd.
Seeing this scene, he was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Hi, Hu Lai, right? I'm Mao Xiao from Class 18, Grade 1."
Just when Hu Lai was feeling happy, a cheerful voice sounded in his ears, and then a shadow enveloped him.
Hulay had to raise his head to see who was coming. It was the difficult central defender he faced in the test match.
"I just said you can definitely make the school team! Meng Xi doesn't believe it yet, ha!" The big man said to Hu Lai with a bright smile on his face.
Another big man standing next to him glared at Mao Xiao dissatisfiedly: "How can you be like this, betraying your teammates as soon as you get up?"
Then he turned to Hu Lai and said: "My name is Meng Xi, from Class 1 and Six of High School. I watched that game. I'm not bragging. If I was the goalkeeper at that time, I guarantee that you can only score one goal. I am the last one."
I really can’t react.”
Facing the two teammates who took the initiative to say hello, Hu Lai did not respond enthusiastically, but took a step back and returned to the embrace of the sun.
Then he smiled and said to the two people: "Hello, my name is Hu Lai, I am in the first and second classes of high school."
Mao Xiao was very surprised: "Why do you want to take a step back?"
Hearing his question, Hu Lai couldn't help but roll his eyes: "This way I won't be so stressed... Do you know that you are too tall and keeping your neck raised is not good for your cervical spine?"
Looking at Hu Lai who raised his head to answer him, Mao Xiao suddenly realized, and then laughed honestly: "Sorry, sorry, I'm always with Meng Xi. I'm used to talking to people who are about the same height as me..."
Meng Xi who was next to him pushed Mao Xiao hard: "Go to hell, you blame me for everything!"
Mao Xiao smiled and hugged Meng Xi, and then explained to Hu Lai: "We are classmates in junior high school. During the high school entrance examination, we discussed getting into the same class, but he secretly scored twenty points more than me, so we were not in the same class.
In the same class.”
"What do you mean by being sneaky?" Meng Xi turned around and glanced at Mao Xiao with disgust, "I was honest and got twenty points more than you. That's my strength."
Then he looked at Hu Lai: "Mao Xiao is particularly optimistic about you. He is very happy to see you enter the school team. It is different from some people..." He pointed back with his thumb at the other school teams gathered.
players.
Of course Hu Lai knew that some people would be unhappy with his joining, but again, he didn't care. He turned to Mao Xiao, who was smiling a little shyly, and said, "Thank you."
Mao Xiao waved his hand: "If you can score under my defense, of course you must have a few brushes."
Meng Xi pouted: "Are you praising yourself in disguise?"
Hearing this, Mao Xiao laughed honestly again.
At this moment, a huge scream suddenly sounded from the sidelines.
Meng Xi frowned, while Mao Xiao smiled and said, "It seems Luo Kai is here."
"Should we go across the street to welcome and applaud?" Meng Xi shrugged and said sarcastically.
The three people cast their gaze over.
Luo Kai didn't come alone, he came with the captain Chu Yifan and the vice-captain of the school team.
He and Chu Yifan were talking about this while walking. The captain of the school team had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
"I heard a theory." Meng Xi said suddenly. "It said that Chu Yifan regarded Luo Kai as his hope to go to the national competition. He thought that Luo Kai could lead our team to defeat Jincheng's Jiaxiang and win the chance to go to the national competition."
quota.”
Mao Xiao pointed at Hu Lai: "Hu Lai and Luo Kai are classmates."
Meng Xi then turned his attention to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai nodded: "Well, Team Chu did go to our classroom to find Luo Kai. The scene was just like a domestic idol drama."
"Tsk, tsk." Hearing Hu Lai's description, Meng Xi smacked his lips, then looked at his good friend: "Mao Xiao, can you guard Luo Kai and prevent him from scoring?"
Mao Xiao smiled and shook his head: "No. That Luo Kai is indeed very strong..."
He told the truth, and did not feel that he was offended by this question, nor was he ashamed to admit the strength of others. But before he finished speaking, Meng Xi slapped Hu Lai on the back: "Congratulations, Hu Lai
!You are already on the same level as Luo Kai!"
Mao Xiao: "?"
Meng Xi ignored the confused expression on his good friend's face and continued: "You and Luo Kai both scored goals under Mao Xiao's defense. It seems that we can also pin our hopes of going to the national competition on you.
Hu Lai!”
Hu Lai nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
Mao Xiao was helpless: "Hu Lai, don't follow Meng Xi and make nonsense..."
Meng Xi seemed very happy with Hu Lai's cooperation. He laughed and patted Hu Lai on the back hard.
His laughter attracted the attention of others, including Luo Kai and Chu Yifan.
When Luo Kai cast his gaze over here, he immediately saw Hu Lai standing between Meng Xi and Mao Xiao.
The faint smile on his face froze slightly at this moment, and his eyes became sharp.
But soon, in less than a second, this feeling disappeared.
"Weird..." Meng Xi muttered. "Why do you feel like that guy's eyes are unfriendly... Mao Xiao, do you have a grudge against him?"
Mao Xiao denied: "I have never had contact with him."
Meng Xi looked at Hu Lai again, but before Hu Lai spoke, he shook his head and looked away: "It's even more impossible for Hu Lai... Are you here for me?"
Then Meng Xi's eyes shone brightly: "Of course the striker's lifelong enemy is the goalkeeper! Okay, your opponent, I will come next!"
He also clenched his fist and made a clicking sound.
Next to him, Mao Xiao looked at Hu Lai speechlessly, his eyes seeming to say: Ignore this lunatic.
