When Li Qingqing opened her eyes from the bed, she turned her head and looked out the window, and then froze.
Only three and a half days had passed since she was injured. Every night when she went to bed, she would be awakened by pain several times, and then fall asleep again due to exhaustion and sleepiness.
I have many dreams while half asleep and half awake.
By the time it gets dawn, her pajamas are often wet with sweat - it's a very hard sleep.
Sleeping has even become a torture for her.
But today, she opened her eyes and found that it was already bright outside, and suddenly realized that she slept until dawn last night!
Legs don’t hurt?!
Li Qingqing stretched out her hand to pinch the injured part, and then took a breath of air - it still hurt after pinching hard.
It's just...it doesn't hurt at all when I don't touch it, it's like I'm not injured.
But when she tried to exert force on her right leg, she realized that she was indeed injured - she was still unable to exert strength there.
The injury is still there and there is no recovery overnight.
But Li Qingqing was already very happy that she could have a good sleep until dawn.
And this change suddenly gave her some confidence in the prospects of recovering from her injury.
She thought of what Hu Lai said to herself.
Didn't he mix this with Vaseline himself?
Was it really prepared by an old Chinese medicine doctor?
Really effective?
Not a placebo?
Li Qingqing sat on the bed, lost in thought.
"Qingqing, are you awake?" Her father's voice came from outside the door, waking Li Qingqing out of her deep thoughts.
"I just woke up, dad." Li Qingqing said as he took off his pajamas that were soaked with sweat and put on dry clothes.
When she opened the door, her father had already put breakfast on the table. When he saw her coming out, he said, "Go and wash up."
Li Qingqing did not move, but said to his father: "Dad, my legs no longer hurt when I slept last night!"
Li Ziqiang held the boiled eggs just taken out of the pot in his hand. He didn't feel hot at all and turned to look at his daughter in surprise.

Luo Kai is extremely depressed now. He doesn't have Li Qingqing's contact information. Although he knows that Li Qingqing is in the mountains and seas, the mountains and seas are so big that he doesn't know where Li Qingqing is.
And although the first half of the league has been played, he can't leave the team yet because the team still needs to continue training.
At this time, he couldn't even ask for leave from head coach Pan Hongwei.
What reason did he give for asking for leave?
Will the head coach approve the leave?
How will the head coach view him after he approves it?
Finally, he has gained the favor of the head coach of the Nanhai team. If he takes leave and leaves the team, will his previous efforts be in vain?
I can't contact Li Qingqing, and I can't run to find Li Qingqing.
Luo Kai could only learn about Li Qingqing's current situation through the news.
But the news is still the same as that of the past few days. The only good news is that the recovery period has been shortened from the initially expected one and a half months to one month.
In one month, Li Qingqing should still be able to catch up with the World Cup, right?
There is no more news. Female football players obviously do not receive as much attention as male football players. Even Li Qingqing, who is considered to be very popular among female football players, does not have much news about her.
Luo Kai has never been as dissatisfied with the imbalance in the development of men's and women's football as he is today.
Like Hu Lai, a creative celebration can spread all over the Internet.
The leader of the Chinese women's football team was injured before the World Cup and may not be able to participate in the World Cup. There is very little coverage. What do you media reporters do for a living?!
Luo Kai simply wished that reporters could go to Li Qingqing's home and tell him everything about Li Qingqing's current living situation.

"Doctor Huang, Qingqing said that she had no pain in her legs last night, and she slept until dawn..." In the physical therapy room of the Shanhai Blue Moon Club women's team, Li Ziqiang was introducing the situation to the club's team doctor Huang Yichen.
Team doctor Huang Yichen, who had delicate makeup on his face but still couldn't conceal his old appearance, looked at Li Qingqing when he heard this.
Li Qingqing was lying on the massage table, her upper body covered with a towel, and her legs wearing only a pair of shorts were exposed. You could see a little bruise on the back of her right thigh.
That is a sign of hemorrhage and stasis.
But in Huang Yichen's eyes, compared with yesterday when Li Qingqing came for massage therapy, it seemed that... it was really reduced?
When Li Qingqing saw the team doctor looking over, he quickly said: "It's true, Doctor Huang. As long as I don't touch the injured area, I won't feel any pain at all."
Dr. Huang tried it out.
Then Li Qingqing told her that even if she pressed it up, as long as she didn't press and knead very hard, the pain would be obviously less.
She frowned and thought for a while and then said: "Let's do another check. If it's true, then our previous judgment may have been wrong."
"Wrong?" Li Ziqiang was a little surprised.
"Well, that's wrong. Her injury is recovering faster than all of us expected. If this trend continues, maybe... she will be able to recover from her injury in three weeks!"
Li Ziqiang's eyes flashed with joy when he heard this, and he turned to look at his daughter.
Li Qingqing felt incredible at first, and then she was surprised and delighted: "Dr. Huang, is this true?"
"I'm not sure yet, so I have to do another checkup. I'll wait until the results come out..." At this point, Huang Yichen picked up the phone and started arranging for Li Qingqing to do the checkup.
Li Ziqiang and Li Qingqing next to them looked at each other and saw relaxation and joy in each other's eyes.

Guan Xinyan found out that Li Qingqing was coming to the Blue Moon Football Club headquarters for an examination. Because the facilities at the women's team were not complete, basic treatment was OK, but more detailed examination was not enough.
So he came to wait outside the examination room in advance, wanting to send greetings and blessings to Li Qingqing in person, and to have enough presence in front of Li Qingqing to let her know that there were people in the same club who cared about her and cared about her. Worry about her.
When the door to the examination room was opened, Li Qingqing came out in a wheelchair.
Guan Xinyan immediately walked forward pretending to meet by chance, with a look of surprise and concern: "Hey, Li Qingqing, why are you here at the club?"
"Ah..." Li Qingqing didn't expect to meet Guan Xinyan here. The examination room is quite far away from the training ground. Unless he is injured, no player will run here. "I'm here for a review."
"How is your injury...?"
"not bad……"
Guan Xinyan frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Li Qingqing's slender and toned thighs, a heartache expression appeared on his face: "It must be very painful..."
Unexpectedly, Li Qingqing smiled: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Uh...ah?"
Just when Guan Xinyan wanted to continue questioning in detail, another middle-aged man walked out of the examination room door behind Li Qingqing. When he saw a strange young man standing next to Li Qingqing, his face sank.
"Who are you?" he asked unceremoniously, as if he were looking at a dead person.
Guan Xinyan was planning to continue caring about Li Qingqing and win her favor, but he was suddenly interrupted.
He looked up at this strange middle-aged man and felt that he was not from the club, otherwise there would be no reason not to recognize him... and the way he looked at him was really annoying, without any courtesy at all.
So he asked unceremoniously: "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man sneered and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He stepped forward to push up Li Qingqing's wheelchair and walked past Guan Xinyan.
"Let's go home, Qingqing."
"Okay, Dad."
The two of them walked towards the gate without looking back.
Guan Xinyan was stunned on the spot because he clearly heard Li Qingqing calling the man "Dad" just now...
I go!
He turned his head and looked at the man pushing Li Qingqing's back. He wanted to catch up, but lacked the courage. Now that he thought of the way the man looked at him, he felt cold all over.
He could only stand there and watch Li Qingqing and her father disappear at the end of the corridor.
At this time, another person walked out of the examination room. It was Huang Yichen, the team doctor who had examined Li Qingqing before. When she saw Guan Xinyan, she was surprised: "Guan Xinyan, why are you here?"
"Ah, I...I was passing by..."
"Why are you passing by the examination room when you have nothing to do?" the other party frowned, and then suddenly realized, with an intriguing smile on his face, "Li Qingqing and her father came for a re-examination. Although the re-examination results have not come out yet, judging from the examination, Li Qingqing The injury is recovering better than anyone expected. Don’t worry.”
Then she winked at Guan Xinyan.
Guan Xinyan didn't hear the part about the review at all. He just heard "Li Qingqing and her father came to review."
Is that really Li Qingqing’s father?!
It's over, it's over...
※※※
"Who was that kid just now?" Li Ziqiang asked as he pushed Li Qingqing out of the building.
"Guan Xinyan, dad."
"Is he Guan Xinyan?" Li Ziqiang couldn't help but look back, even though he couldn't see anything.
"Yes, he is Guan Xinyan, who was replaced by Hu Lai."
Hearing what his daughter said, Li Ziqiang snorted: "He is not Hu Lai's competitor."
"I think so too. The two of them have different playing styles and positions. Hu Lai is in the middle and Guan Xinyan should be on the wing..." Li Qingqing said.
But her words were interrupted by her father: "No, I don't mean the position is different, I mean the strength is different. Guan Xinyan's level is far behind Hu Laibi."
Hearing what his father said, Li Qingqing, who was sitting in a wheelchair with her back to him, laughed silently.
She thought about Dr. Huang's judgment during the reexamination that her recovery period might be longer than expected. Not only would she definitely be able to make it to the World Cup, she would also be able to make it to at least two weeks of pre-World Cup training!
Her mood became extremely beautiful.

While Hu Lai was waiting at the airport, he received a WeChat message from Li Qingqing: "Hu Lai, where does that miracle doctor live?"
He held his cell phone with the expression of an old man on the subway: What is going on? Didn't you say that you were going to have a re-examination? Could it be that something went wrong and you are going to find someone to settle the score?
"What's wrong? Have your reexamination results come out?" he asked quickly.
"No, but our team doctor said that my recovery prospects are very optimistic, and I may come back earlier!" Although it was written in words, Hu Lai could also feel Li Qingqing's happy mood from between the lines.
"That's a good thing!"
"Yes, so I want to find the old miracle doctor to thank him in person!"
I'll go...Sister, where can I find an old miracle doctor for you?
I made this up casually, do you really believe it?
How do you live to this day when you are so simple?
By this time, Hu Lai certainly knew that his lies could not continue.
So he confessed: "Well...I told you not to be angry, Li Qingqing..."
"?You speak first!"
"Actually, there is no old miracle doctor... I made it up to lie to you. That thing... is not some recovery ointment that is one in a million, that is... I poured it myself with Vaseline... I just want to make you happy,
To comfort you... you recover quickly, that's definitely not the effect of this ointment, it's because you should have recovered quickly..."
Hu Lai poured the beans into the bamboo tube and explained everything.
Then after a while, the other side replied to him: "Hu Lai!!! I believe in you so much, I didn't expect you to be such a person!!"
"You said you wouldn't be angry..."
"I did not say!"
Hu Lai checked the chat history and found that Li Qingqing really didn't agree...
So he sighed: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I am doing it for your own good... Otherwise, I owe you another meal..."
"Haha, Hu Lai, do you think a meal is enough?"
"No...then sister, how many meals do you want?"
"At least ten meals!"
"Okay, okay, ten meals will be ten..." Hu Lai was frightened for a second.
"This is what you said, I took a screenshot!"
"A manly man, once you say something, it's hard to follow, so you don't need to take screenshots!"
"No, I'm afraid you'll regret it if you don't take a screenshot!"
"..."
Li Qingqing, who was half lying on the bed, changed "146" to "156" in the "All-in-One Card" note in the memo, and then held the mobile phone and was overjoyed.
If her right leg hadn't been strained, she would have rolled around on the bed and fluttered hard.
In the waiting hall, Hu Lai clenched his fist and waved slightly - that [Recovery Ointment] is really effective!
