Zhang Qinghuan stood in the foyer of the big villa, looking at the empty room.
I didn’t think it was big before, but now that there are four people missing, I suddenly feel that this house is a bit scary to live in.
Especially when the lights were not turned on, the room in the evening seemed to be a beast's den with complex terrain. Hidden in the darkness that he could not see was an unknown monster, staring at him eagerly, ready to take advantage of him when he turned around.
When he did, he came up and threw him to the ground.
Suddenly the lights came on.
"Brother Huan, why didn't you turn on the lights..." Xia Xiaoyu, who parked the car and came in, asked strangely while turning on the lights.
Zhang Qinghuan looked back at Xia Xiaoyu and thought that it was a good thing that Xiaoyu didn't go to the Olympic team, otherwise he would rather stay in a hotel alone than here.
“Would it be a pity not to participate in the Olympics, Xiaoyu?” he asked Xia Xiaoyu.
Xia Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head: "No, Brother Huan. I am a player of the right age for the next Olympics. But it would be a pity for you, Brother Huan, right?"
"Director Shi called me specifically to explain why he didn't recruit me. I think he was right. This Olympic team actually does not lack me. If I join, it will cause some confusion for them. Besides, even if Director Shi
If he wants to recruit me, I will reject him."
Hearing Zhang Qinghuan's words, Xia Xiaoyu was a little surprised: "Why?"
"Think about it, Xiaoyu Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, Wang Guangwei and Morikawa, now our team's main lineup is missing four people. If I go again, five people are missing, and half of the main lineup is gone." Zhang Qinghuan explained.
He said, "What about the league? Can we still avoid relegation? Director Zhao can't bear to die worrying about it?"
"Ah... that's right." Xia Xiaoyu then realized what he had forgotten just now.
Zhang Qinghuan looked around the empty big villa and said: "So we have to stay and guard the house. At least we have to stabilize the team's performance. Otherwise, you know, just because of Hu Lai's bad mouth, if he comes back to see us, we will soon fall."
We are in the relegation zone, who knows how many tricks he can come up with to hurt us."
Xia Xiaoyu thought for a while, and then said: "I think he will let us cover all the rent for this year."
Zhang Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Hahaha! Realistic!"
His laughter echoed in the empty house.
After laughing, he suggested: "I have nothing to do at night anyway, how about playing games?"
Xia Xiaoyu nodded first, then shook his head: "Brother Huan, have you forgotten? I asked Brother Hu and the others to take the game console away..."
Zhang Qinghuan’s smile froze on his face: “Fuck!”

Qin Lin stood on the terrace on the second floor, looking at the villa in the night. Only the lights in the foyer and living room on the first floor were on, and could be heard through the window glass, but the windows in more rooms were still dark.
of.
This is very different from the usual brightly lit appearance.
Four of the six people left, leaving only Zhang Qinghuan and Xia Xiaoyu living in the big house...
It suddenly became deserted.
"Wouldn't it be a little scary for two people to live in such a big house?" His wife Wang Yuan sighed behind him, "Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not live there... Let me tell you, Lao Qin.
Sometimes, when you go to play away games, Qiqi and I are the only two people in the room, and I feel a little scared..."
The wife was chattering, and suddenly there was a noise from the backyard of the villa they were looking at.
With the sound, two huge lights were turned on, and snow-white lights spread over the nine-a-side football field.
Two figures appeared in the light.
“Just two people kicking?” Wang Yuan was a little surprised.
Qin Lin laughed: "It's better than staying in such a big house, right?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the house.
“Hey, why are you going?” asked the wife.
“Let’s join in the fun.” Qin Lin opened the balcony door and shouted toward his son’s bedroom: “Qiqi changes clothes and let’s go play football!”
“I haven’t finished my homework yet!” my wife protested.
“Write again when you come back, they won’t be able to keep fighting for long.” Qin Lin said as he walked, and soon his voice came from downstairs.
At the same time, the sound of his son's footsteps also came from his room, followed by the sound of going downstairs.
“Here it comes!”
Wang Yuan did not chase her into the house, but turned around and returned to the terrace.
Soon she saw her husband and son running out of the courtyard side by side and walking quickly towards the villa diagonally opposite. They each held a pair of football shoes in their hands.
Looking at the two men’s backs, Wang Yuan shook her head.
You play in the team during the day, and you continue to play when you get home... This is a person who has retired, why haven't he played enough?

Wang Guangwei saw Hu Lai looking at the game controller in his hand without any movement, so he asked him: "What's wrong? Choose a team!"
Hu Lai sighed faintly: "I miss people when I see things... As soon as I saw this game console, I thought of Brother Huan. Well, what if he and Xiaoyu want to play games?"
"You still have the nerve to say, didn't you insist on taking the game console away?" Chen Xingyi complained to Hu Lai next to him. "Did I say you lack the money? Wouldn't it be over if you buy another one?"
“Well said, why don’t you buy one, Little Star?” Hu Lai asked him.
Chen Xingyi immediately changed his face and said solemnly: "You can't play with the opportunity unless you borrow it!"
“Little Xingxing, please explain clearly, which one is ‘exciting’?”
Wang Guangwei ignored the two people's banter and sighed: "Speaking of which, the day after tomorrow is our home game against the Nanjiarui Lions. I really don't know how it will be played then..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people pushed open the door and entered. The leader, Wang Zijian, shouted as soon as he came in: "Play games, play games!"
Wang Guangwei turned to look at Song Kun next to Wang Zijian, and suddenly remembered: "Song Kun, are you from Nanjiarui Lion?"
Song Kun nodded: "Yes. What's wrong?"
"The day after tomorrow our team will play against the Nanjiarui Lions." Wang Guangwei explained, "We can only watch the TV broadcast here, but we can't help, so we are a little worried. The last time the three of us rotated, our team lost in the away game
you……"
Song Kun comforted him: "Hey, what's there to worry about? I can't go either?"
Hu Lai sneered: "Can it be the same, Song Kun? We are missing four main players in Shanxing! Are you the main player in Ruishi?"
Song Kun:???
Zhi Jian shouted: "Brother Kun, I'm not a troublemaker, but I can't stand this...fuck him!"
Song Kun rolled up his sleeves: "Give me the handle, I will teach Hu Lai a lesson!"

The 17th round of the league where the Stars faced the Nankari Lions at home. It was the first game that the four main players of the Stars, Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei, Chen Xingyi and Morikawa Junpei, will be absent for two months.
This game naturally attracted much attention.
Everyone wants to see how the Flash Stars can perform without these four main players, and whether they will be unable to recover in the following games.
At the pre-match press conference, Zhao Kangming also admitted that the lack of four main players will definitely have an impact on the team. But he also said that the remaining players can also complete the task.
“...Every player in our Flashing Stars is excellent. I believe that even without Hu Lai and the others, we can still stabilize the situation..."
Qin Lin and Xia Xiaoyu played at the same time in this game.
Qin Lin’s task is more like that of Junpei Morikawa, who will focus on defense, while the job of controlling the rhythm will be left to Xia Xiaoyu.
At the front, Kang Ziqing is the center forward, and Li Rong partners with him to play on the left side, replacing Chen Xingyi's role.
Zhang Qinghuan continued to deliver shells to them from the attacking midfielder position. At the same time, Zhao Kangming also asked him to actively approach the penalty area and try to score.
With Hu Lai gone, Kang Ziqing's scoring ability will definitely not be able to keep up, so the only way is to combine the abilities of several people and use the number of people to make up for the lack of ability.
In other words, when Hu Lai was here, he could complete the scoring task alone, but now he needs two or three people tied together to complete his previous task alone.
So how could it have no impact?
Just for the sake of the team's morale and the feelings of other players, Zhao Kangming can only say that.
※※※
Song Kun and Wang Zijian were sitting cross-legged on the bed in Hu Lai's room, watching the broadcast of the game with Shanxing and the other three.
“Song Kun, why are you here to join in the fun?” Hu Lai asked him.
“What does it mean to join in the fun? This game is also our Ruishi’s game! I want to see how Ruishi kills you Flash Star!”
“Haha. Are you sure?”
“What’s so uncertain about this?”
“Okay. If Rui Shi can beat the Twinkle Star, it means that your absence has no impact. It’s the same with or without you.”
Song Kun was stunned for a moment when he heard what Hu Lai said. He didn't expect Hu Lai's angle to be so tricky.
“But if Shining Star can defeat Ruishi, it will show that Ruishi is really unable to play without you... How about you choose one? Do you want to win or lose?”
Faced with these two difficult choices, Nanjiarui Lions' substitute goalkeeper Song Kun was speechless and did not give any answer for a while.
There was a clear whistle from the TV, accompanied by the commentator's voice: "The game begins!"
※※※
"The Nanjiarui Lions took the lead! Although it was an away game, they played very proactively... On the other hand, even though Zhao Kangming didn't say it, Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei, and Chen Xingyi were actually missing.
After the four main players including Junpei Morikawa, they still have a great impact on the team’s strength..."
“Hey! We are ahead!” Song Kun jumped up from the bed, waggling his butt and cheering.
Zhi Jian quickly pulled him and asked him to keep a low profile. This was Hu Lai's room. There were three people in Flashing Star, which were more than the two of them...
No one in the Flashing Star trio paid any attention to them, they all stared at the TV screen seriously.
Thirteen minutes later, Flashing Star played a beautiful collaboration in the frontcourt. Zhang Qinghuan pretended to dribble the ball to break through, but suddenly gave the football to Xia Xiaoyu who came in from behind. Xia Xiaoyu took a long shot from the penalty area line. The football
The foot of the Nanjiarui Lions defender who came up to defend was rubbed, and the line changed slightly. Nanjiarui Lions goalkeeper Sui Ke couldn't react in time, and the football rushed into the net!
"Beautiful! Xia Xiaoyu! This is his first goal in the Chinese Super League this season! What a hero! In the absence of four main players, Xia Xiaoyu bravely stood up! He helped the team equalize the score
!”
Amid the excited roars of the commentator, Hu Lai ran up to Song Kun and danced his butt: "Did you see? My junior can even score your goals!"
Song Kun ignored him and threw a pillow at him.
Xia Xiaoyu, who scored the goal, was also very excited. He turned around and ran towards the corner flag area, waving his fists and shouting.
Completely different from his usual gentle self.
Zhang Qinghuan tried to grab him several times behind him, but failed to catch him...
At the end, when he was in the corner flag area, Xia Xiaoyu finally remembered, turned around and hugged Zhang Qinghuan who was assisting him.
Flashing Star’s teammates instantly swamped them both.
※※※
After Xia Xiaoyu helped the team equalize the score, the game reached a deadlock. Both sides had some opportunities, but neither one could seize them.
Especially on Flashing Star, Hu Lai’s power is fully demonstrated.
Both Kang Ziqing and Li Rong got opportunities. After all, although the Stars' frontcourt trident lacks the two arrowheads Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi, the offensive organizer Zhang Qinghuan is still there.
He delivered many wonderful passes in front, but none of them were converted into goals.
Zhang Qinghuan, who was used to playing with Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi, did not complain, but began to try more to score goals on his own.
This is also the request Zhao Kangming gave him.
When the game was about to enter injury time, the score was still 1:1.
Zhang Qinghuan picked up the ball at the front of the penalty area and made a move to pass it into the penalty area.
Hunted the Nankari Lions player who was guarding him from the front to take a step back and create a gap.
Then he suddenly got up on the spot and kicked!
After the football drew an arc, it hit the upper corner of the goal!
Nankarui Lions goalkeeper Sui Ke tried his best to take off and stretched his arms, but still failed to touch the football.
Amidst the huge cheers above the Andong Provincial Sports Center, the football turned into the goal!
"Zhang Qinghuan! Wow! Beautiful! Beautiful arc! A shot from the sky! Flashing Star overtook the score! With two minutes left in the game, he almost beat the Nanjiarui Lion!"
After scoring the goal, Zhang Qinghuan pointed his hands upward, looked to the sky, and was hugged by his teammates.
He laughed and celebrated by hugging his teammates.
In front of the TV, Hu Lai was showing off to the stunned Song Kun: "What's your expression?! I think our brother Huan used to be the number one genius in Chinese football! He is proficient in passing organization, breakthrough and scoring! He scored in your goal
Isn’t that normal? He’s scoring less goals now entirely because I’m in front and he doesn’t need to score!”
Zhi Jian said feebly: "Hu Lai, your statement is really offensive..."
