Fanhai Rongjun is a high-end residential community located in the west of Liucheng District. There are only two elevator apartments in the entire community closest to the gate. At first, it is easy for people to think that this community is that big.
But in fact, if you continue to walk inside, you will find that there is a whole other world inside.
From the air, you might even think this is a park attached to a community.
Looking more closely, the houses dotted among the green trees, streams and ponds are actually villas hidden behind the elevator apartments.
The community extends to the west and eventually merges with a forest park on the edge of the city, giving people the feeling of really living in a forest.
In the innermost part of the community, almost bordering the forest park, is the largest apartment, which is the villa that Hu Lai and the others rent.
This place used to be very quiet, but today, the roads in the community here are full of cars parked.
There are people coming and going, and it’s very lively.
Xia Xiaoyu and Morikawa Junpei were on the roadside, running back and forth, instructing their teammates to park, while Hu Lai stood at the door and acted as a doorman.
Chen Xingyi, Zhang Qinghuan and Wang Guangwei were in the room to receive their teammates.
After Han Xiangfei parked his Porsche sports car on the side of the road, he came down and saw Hu Lai and shook his head: "You can't do this, Hu Lai."
“Ah? Why not?”
"It's not good to dress well. You have to wear a black suit, put a white towel in your hand, and ask people when you see them: "Mei Ai Hai Pu Se". This is enough style!"
Hu Lai nodded: "Okay, I learned it."
Then when Han Xiangfei walked towards the door, Hu Lai shouted at the top of his lungs behind him: "There is a male guest on the second floor!!"
Han Xiangfei, who was lifting his legs to go up the steps in front of the gate, almost fell out...
The players nearby burst into laughter.
Some people booed: "Hu Lai, you know a lot!"
Hu Lai defended loudly: "I heard what Little Star said!"
Chen Xingyi, who was greeting his teammates in the room, rushed out after hearing this: "You are talking nonsense! I never told you!"
“Hu Lai, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you turn your own house into a bathing center?” Qin Lin’s voice sounded next to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai originally wanted to reply in a conditioned reflex: "I didn't expect you, Brother Lin, to understand..."
As a result, when he turned around, he saw his sister-in-law and Qin Qi standing next to Qin Lin, and he quickly smiled: "Brother Lin, hello, sister-in-law."
Then he raised his hand and touched Qin Qi's hair, rubbing his hair, which had obviously been carefully combed, like a chicken coop.
In front of so many people, Qin Qi dared not speak out in anger.
Today’s gathering, Hu Lai welcomes everyone to bring their family members, so some brought their girlfriends and some brought their wives.
However, Qin Lin brought his family here for another purpose, that is, in front of his sister-in-law, everyone would be embarrassed to play too much. This way, without him having to say anything, everyone would naturally restrain themselves.
So far, the effect is pretty good.
Haven’t you seen Hu Lai, who always has a playful and smiling face, be honest in front of his wife?
Happily laughing, everyone entered the house.
Every person who entered the room was shocked by the splendid hall.
Han Xiangfei couldn't help but look up at the dazzling crystal chandelier and said: "No wonder Hu Lai shouted like that, it really matched the occasion! It's exactly the same as a bathing center..."
Qin Lin couldn't help but want to cover his face when he saw this scene.
The teammates who entered the room were free to move around. Some people gathered in front of the large projector in the living room to watch others play games, some went to the basement to play billiards, and others sat at the mahjong table and played mahjong and poker.
Others, led by Wang Guangwei and others, briefly visited this large villa.
When they walked through the house and came to the back garden, they were stunned.
“Let me go, does this golf course come with the villa?” someone exclaimed.
“That’s not it, we built it ourselves.” Wang Guangwei introduced.
Everyone was even more surprised: "Wang Guangwei, what do you think? Haven't you played enough football in training?"
“The garden is too big, and we won’t use it to grow vegetables, and we won’t waste such a large area if we don’t build a stadium?” Wang Guangwei said, “When the time comes, if you want to play football, you can just go down and play. How convenient.”
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that this was not something a professional player should say.
After all, as professional players, we all deal with football every day. Even if we like playing football, we will get bored when our hobby turns into work. We can’t wait to live without football.
It turns out that these guys seem to think they haven’t played enough football. They play football in the training base and still play football when they get home...
Some people have difficulty understanding the self-abuse of Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei and others, but some people can see the reason why young people like Hu Lai and others can succeed.
Li Tielin murmured: "You guys love football too much..."
How could we achieve such success in such a short period of time if we didn’t love it so much?
Hu Lai's voice came from behind: "If you want to eat up later, you can come off the field and kick a few kicks. We can also have a team game. If you lose the ball, you can kick off!"
“You’re crazy! Why do we have to come to your place to play team games after we come out of the training ground?” Everyone laughed and cursed.

In the side garden on the right side of the house, chefs from the community club are having a barbecue. The grilled food is placed on a dinner plate on a long table. Everyone can help themselves to what they want to eat.
The other long table is for drinks and other food.
The aroma spreads into the house along with the smoke.
Everyone hangs around the table, chooses the food they are interested in, then walks away with the plate, finds a place to sit down, or simply stands and chats while eating.
Most people’s eyes are on the football field in the back garden downstairs.
There is a small court set up inside the stadium with a small movable goal, and there are two teams of people on it playing against each other.
“Damn, I really didn’t expect Hu Lai and the others to have quite complete facilities here. I almost thought I was a guest in the dormitory building of the base...” Zhang Xiaolei sighed.
Zhang Hao shook his head as he said: "I'm even more surprised that someone actually went off the field to play football. Haven't they played enough?"
“Yeah, isn’t this crazy?”
As the two were talking, they saw Hu Lai on the field making his signature celebration, then pointing at the teammates watching upstairs and shouting: "Dugu Qiu! Who else?!"
“Fuck, I’ll do it!”
“I’ll fuck you, Hu Lai!”
The two people who were scolding each other for being crazy before looked at each other. Zhang Xiaolei said first: "The main thing is that I can't stand Hu Lai's arrogance..."
Zhang Hao nodded in approval: "Me too, I'm not used to such people!"
“Go, go, go! Kick him down!”
The two men ran down.
Qin Qi was excited to watch upstairs. Qin Lin saw him like this and smiled and said, "If you want to go, just go."
With his father’s permission, Qin Qi happily ran down, pointed at Hu Lai, and said loudly in a childish voice: “I’ll challenge you!”
He wanted to avenge his hair being messed up by Hu Lai at the door.
When the onlookers from the Flash Star players saw this, they cheered loudly and clapped as hard as they could: "Okay! Defeat Hu Lai!"
"Ambitious!"
“Come on Xiaoqi!”
The atmosphere became lively. Even the teammates who were playing games, billiards and cards in the room were attracted by the excitement. They put down their game controllers, billiard cues and cards and ran out to see what was going on.
For a time, the crowd on the sidelines of the football field was filled with shouts and shouts.
When Qin Lin saw this, he asked Zhang Qinghuan next to him: "Why do you want to build a football stadium here? I don't know whether this idea is genius or... naive."
Zhang Qinghuan said with a smile: "Hu Lai first came up with this idea, and we asked him about it later. He said that when he wanted to play football before, his father didn't agree, so he could only find a place to play in secret. Later, he asked him to find a place to play football.
He built a secret base, which was actually an abandoned open space covered with weeds, but for him it was already a place where he could play football freely without being disturbed. He went there to play football every day after school, and it was still a good idea.
It was time to go home, otherwise his father might discover that he was secretly playing football, and he might even get beaten. From then on, his dream was to one day go downstairs and play football. When would he want to?
He can kick whenever he wants, without having to hide or worry about being beaten by his father... But now, he has just fulfilled his previous dream, right?"
Looking at Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi and Morikawa Junpei who were playing a three-on-three match with his son off the court, Qin Lin sighed: "We regard playing football as a profession, and they regard playing football as a hobby. One can also play football by the way."
A hobby that makes money.”
Zhang Qinghuan smiled and said nothing.
“Qing Huan, what do you think of Hu Lai’s desire to play football in Europe?” Qin Lin asked seemingly casually.
“Ah?” Zhang Qinghuan has not yet reacted.
“Do you want to play football in Europe? I remember that you also had the opportunity to study abroad.”
“It was before, Brother Lin, but now my body is...” Zhang Qinghuan said with an embarrassed smile.
"Don't open your mouth like a broken leg. What's wrong with being slower? I'm just asking you if you still want to go to Europe to play football? When Hu Lai goes to Europe, I guess Chen Xingyi will not be lonely... People around him
We've all gone to Europe, you don't want to go?" Qin Lin glanced at him.
“Who doesn’t want to go?”
"That's fine, you just want to go. You have to go out early, Qing Huan. I was about twenty-five years old when I went out, and my career improved. I have benefited from the experience of studying abroad and playing football for so many years...
"Qin Lin sighed and recalled the beginning.
At this moment, there was a sigh from the sidelines, and Hu Lai's proud voice rang out again: "Haha! Accept it!"
Qin Lin and Zhang Qinghuan looked over and saw Qin Qi standing on the field dejectedly, while Hu Lai was yelling next to him.
Seeing this, Qin Lin stood up and said, "Let's go down with me and kick some feet."
“Okay!” Zhang Qinghuan put down the cup with juice, followed his elder brother downstairs, and walked towards the stadium.
Seeing Brother Lin appear on the stage, the crowd burst into cheers.

Before training the next day, Qin Lin was called directly from the parking lot to the head coach's office by Zhao Kangming.
“How was it? How was the party last night?” Zhao Kangming asked impatiently as soon as Qin Lin entered.
But Qin Lin did not answer him immediately, but had a strange look on his face.
"What are you doing? Something happened?" Seeing him like this, Zhao Kangming's heart skipped a beat.
"That's not true..." Qin Lin first gave Lao Zhao some reassurance, then organized some words in his mind and told Zhao Kangming what happened at yesterday's party.
Last night after he and Zhang Qinghuan came off the court, they defeated Hu Lai and drove him off the court.
But the team competition did not end there. Instead, it aroused more people's competitiveness and interest. No one even played cards. Everyone formed their own teams and took turns.
The reason lies with Hu Lai.
The kid made a whiteboard outside the stadium, the kind commonly seen in locker rooms with wheels under the feet that can be pushed around. On it, he wrote the names of him, Chen Xingyi, and Morikawa Junpei, followed by the number of wins.
.
Among all the names, the names of these three people top the list.
Not only that, he also wrote their names in a big, eye-catching way, while the names of others were small.
Who can bear this?
Who wants to be crushed by a bitch like Hu Lai?
So everyone took action with the goal of knocking Hu Lai off the top spot.
At the end, when Hu Lai's name was finally written down, the audience burst into warm cheers and applause. And the party also came to an end...
Zhao Kangmin also covered his forehead after listening to Qin Linde’s story: “So you just changed places to play group matches?”
Qin Lin also felt that it was hard to explain in words. He smiled bitterly and said: "At the time, no one felt that way, but now that I think about it...that's the fact. We just moved to another place to continue training."
Zhao Kangming didn’t know whether to sympathize with the players or laugh at them.
※※※
In the team locker room, Hu Lai once again enthusiastically extended an invitation to everyone: "When will you come to our house again?"
This time was different from the high enthusiasm before, and all the teammates who were asked by Hu Lai avoided him.
Han Xiangfei waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't go, I won't go again. I went to have fun and relax, not to practice more, okay?"
"Isn't the 'Iron Cage Scorpion Fight' delicious, Brother Han? I plan to upgrade the rules of this game, and the final winner will receive a mysterious gift package!" Hu Lai is like a devil, doing his best to encourage and seduce.
With Han Xiangfei.
Han Xiangfei refused to accept his words: "It's so sweet! I'm afraid of getting hurt...I'll tell you Hu Lai. When the media and fans know that I was injured at your party, they may not know what they will think..."
I thought that no matter how crazy we played, we could injure ourselves. But in fact, I was injured playing football! Do you think I was unjust or not? It’s such an unjust injustice!”
Other teammates also nodded in agreement.
Judging from their frightened expressions, they thought that the date they attended last night was a feast of demons selling their souls.
