After the school bell rang, the classroom became lively.
Li Qingqing quickly took out the schoolbag she had packed in advance and walked straight to Hu Lai.
"See you at the same place later," she said to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai was a little surprised: "I can't do special training today..."
"I have something to tell you." Li Qingqing said seriously.
Song Jiajia, who was sitting next to Hu Lai, was busy packing his schoolbag. After hearing these words, he paused for a moment, then turned his head and cast a surprised look at Hu Lai.
"Uh, okay, but you can't take too long..." Hu Lai was worried that his father would deal with him if he came back late.
"No, just a few words." Li Qingqing smiled slightly.
Song Jiajia turned her surprised eyes to Li Qingqing again.
In his eyes, Li Qingqing left a smile, then turned and left.
Song Jiajia grabbed Hu Lai and said, "You are dishonest!"
"Ah?" Hu Lai was confused.
Song Jiajia smiled a little bit: "I asked you why during the competition that day, Li Qingqing kept talking for you..."
Hu Lai opened Song Jiajia's hand in disgust: "Dirty! He is my coach!"
After saying that, he ran out chasing Li Qingqing's back.
Only then did Song Jiajia realize what Hu Lai had just said.
coach?
What coach?
He wanted to find Hu Lai again to find out what happened, but Hu Lai was nowhere to be seen.

When Li Qingqing walked up to Hu Lai, Luo Kai's eyes were fixed on that beautiful figure.
This made him pack his schoolbag much slower.
He saw Li Qingqing taking the initiative to find Hu Lai, then standing in front of Hu Lai and saying a few words, as well as the somewhat reluctant expression on Hu Lai's face.
In the end, facing the reluctant Hu Lai, Li Qingqing actually smiled back!
This made Luo Kai a little unhappy.
He asked himself that if Li Qingqing had shown such a smile in front of him, he would have been delighted. But look at that bastard Hu Lai, what did he do?
He was actually a little embarrassed!
What a embarrassment you are!
The goddess wants to talk to you, please correct your attitude!
After the two people said a few words, Li Qingqing left, and then Hu Lai said a word to his deskmate, the fat man, and then left too.
The classroom was very noisy, and Luo Kai couldn't hear the conversation at the other end. He didn't know what Li Qingqing and Hu Lai said, or what Hu Lai said to his deskmate.
But he could see the expression.
Look at that fat man's greasy face. What does he mean? We are all boys, so we will understand instantly.
His men sped up, trying to pack their schoolbags quickly.
At this moment, Li Zhiqun came up with a flattering smile: "Brother Kai, although the results will not be released until tomorrow, I still wish you in advance to join the school team..."
Luo Kai was a little annoyed. Isn't it normal for him to join the school team? What is there to congratulate? It was as if he had finally entered the school team.
Joining the school team is just the first step, his goal is to lead this declining traditional football school to the national competition.
He nodded casually, without stopping his hands, and gave a very perfunctory hum.
But Li Zhiqun didn't see the perfunctory look on Luo Kai's face at all. He was still talking to Luo Kai. The content was all about praising Brother Kai for his awesomeness. He hoped that after joining the school team, Brother Kai could take care of him.
Support him more...
But when these words fell into the ears of the impatient Luo Kai, they only felt a bit harsh and very annoying.
In the end, he really had no choice but to push Li Zhiqun away roughly: "Okay, I want to go home."
But just when he picked up his schoolbag and was about to chase him out, where could Hu Lai and Li Qingqing be seen in the classroom?
Not only in the classroom, but also in the corridor outside the classroom, there were no traces of the two people.
Luo Kai had felt that there seemed to be something going on between Li Qingqing and Hu Lai. After all, they always left the classroom one after another after school several times, and they were very regular. They were like this three days a week.
Anyone with a normal IQ would probably make the association, right?
But except for leaving school three days a week, there is nothing else to do. The two of them don't have much interaction on campus, they are just like a normal pair of classmates. After all, there are more than fifty people in the class.
As a student, not every classmate will get together. Some may have been classmates for three years and not even speak a hundred words.
After school today, Li Qingqing took the initiative to go find Hu Lai. After the two said a few words, they left one after another.
He originally wanted to chase them out to see where the two people had gone, but was held back by Li Zhiqun, a lookless guy.
He turned back and glared at Li Zhiqun with a very ugly expression.
Li Zhiqun, on the other hand, was confused and had no idea why he flattered the horse and even patted the horse's leg.
※※※
Hu Lai and Li Qingqing stood in this secret training base that belonged only to the two of them, looking at each other.
"If you have to say something here, why don't you just find a place to say it? Or say it on the road..." Hu Lai was still worried that his father would deal with him if he went back late. His father didn't work overtime today.
Li Qingqing shook his head and said, "No, that's not formal enough."
"Formal?" Hu Lai glanced at Li Qingqing suspiciously, and then he thought of Song Jiajia's expression, "You don't want to confess to me, do you? I'll tell you that I can..."
Li Qingqing didn't expect Hu Lai to say that, she said angrily: "What are you thinking!"
Hu Lai patted his chest quickly.
Seeing him like this, Li Qingqing's inner guilt for Hu Lai was a little relieved. This man is so stubborn!
But she quickly adjusted her mood. Anyway, she would have to take responsibility for the ungrateful person in front of her.
The whole world is no longer optimistic about him, and I can't just give up on him no matter what.
Give yourself a year, give him a year, I believe Hu Lai will be transformed.
When the time comes, I must let my father know that Hu Lai was taught by myself!
Thinking of this, Li Qingqing straightened up slightly, cleared his throat, and then said to Hu Lai: "Hu Lai, has anyone told you before that you have football talent?"
Hu Lai shook his head: "No."
"Ah, you know, you are actually very talented." Li Qingqing stood in front of Hu Lai, looked directly at him, and said very, very seriously.
"Do I have talent?" Hu Lai was stunned for a moment.
"Yeah." Seeing that Hu Lai didn't seem very sure, Li Qingqing explained. "You scored three goals in that test match. Don't you think you were too lucky?"
Hu Lai laughed loudly and said: "Are you kidding? That's my strength!"
Li Qingqing looked at him quietly.
Under her gaze, Hu Lai's laughter became smaller and smaller. In the end, he scratched his head and said somewhat depressedly: "Okay, actually I think I'm lucky. I even bought a lottery ticket..."
Hearing what Hu Lai said, Li Qingqing smiled and rolled his eyes. He even ran to buy a lottery ticket. This boy is a bit cute...
Then Li Qingqing put away her smile and tried to say in a serious tone: "This is actually not your luck. Of course, it is also partly due to luck. But it is mainly because you have talent in this area."
"So I am indeed capable?" Hu Lai asked uncertainly. He was a little confused by Li Qingqing's turn.
Li Qingqing nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
"Then...what is my talent?"
"You know where the goal is." Li Qingqing said with a smile.
"I know... where the goal... is?" Hu Lai didn't quite understand, "How new is it? Who doesn't know where the goal is? Isn't it on both sides of the court? Behind the goal area, on the baseline..."
"No, it's different. The goal we know is different from the goal you know. Those three goals... those three goals look like you appeared in an unmarked place and then scored the football very easily.
Of course, many people will think that you are just lucky. But why did you appear in those openings? Why couldn't others find the openings? For example, that Li Zhiqun, why didn't he appear there?" Li Qingqing patiently explained to Hu Lai
Explained. "The fact that you can appear there means that you know those places are vacant..."
"No, I don't know, it's just body instinct..." Hu Lai shook his head in denial reflexively.
Li Qingqing corrected: "Body instinct is talent. The space in the penalty area is so small, how difficult is it to find an opening? Isn't the so-called sense of smell in front of the goal the ability to find such an opening in the penalty area? If you can appear in the air, you can create it.
Shooting opportunities. These spaces also point you in the direction of the goal, allowing you to score goals easier than others... Do you know what a great talent this is, Hu Lai?"
Li Qingqing became a little excited as he spoke.
Hu Lai looked at her blankly, wondering why this female classmate suddenly became excited. It's me who has the talent, not you, classmate.
When Li Qingqing saw Hu Lai looking at him blankly, he thought he hadn't realized how valuable his talent was.
So she waved her arms and continued to explain to Hu Lai: "It's just like you are on a dark sea. You don't know which direction the land is, how far away it is from you, and you can't see whether there are rocks next to it. At this time, suddenly there is a
The light of the lighthouse shines over and helps you light up the way to the shore. It allows you to see the direction of the coast. There are no rocks on the road... Your talent is that lighthouse! It helps you light up the direction of the goal!"
When talking about the lighthouse, Li Qingqing stood upright, opened his hands, and leaned back slightly, as if it was really a lighthouse emitting two beams of light.
Then the two beams of light swept over, and Li Qingqing's two hands tightly grasped Hu Lai's shoulders. She also came closer, staring at Hu Lai's eyes close at hand, staring at him, looking at him very seriously.
He said: "So Hu Lai, you are actually talented, and it is a very powerful talent! Because you know where the goal is!"
The two of them were so close that Hu Lai could even smell the fragrance from the girl's warm breath, and could clearly see the sunset behind him reflected in the girl's eyes.
The sunlight flows and burns in those clear pupils, condensing into a halo of light.
The halo seemed to jump out of Li Qingqing's eyes, wrap him in it, and melt him.
Hu Lai was once convinced that he had no talent, so his initial goal was just to join the school team. But after he got the plug-in, he also had corresponding ambitions. He thought that he might be able to rely on his career path.
Already.
So all this is caused by plug-ins.
He thinks so.
But today, a girl was very serious and excitedly told him that he was actually talented.
It's not a cheat, it's talent.
This is the first time in his sixteen years of life that someone has told him that he is talented in football.
He was caught off guard.
※※※
When Li Ziqiang returned to his house, he heard his daughter's voice, so he shouted: "Qingqing is back?"
But no one answered him.
"Qingqing?" Li Ziqiang stood under the stairs from the first floor to the second floor and shouted again.
There is still no sound, so there is no motive at all upstairs.
But Li Ziqiang clearly heard his daughter's voice just now.
Feeling strange, Li Ziqiang walked up the stairs and entered his daughter's room.
The schoolbag is not there, and I really haven’t come back.
It seemed that he was hallucinating.
A gust of wind blew from the window, causing the notebook spread out on the table to flip through the pages.
Li Ziqiang saw this scene and shook his head with a smile.
My daughter doesn’t close the windows when she goes to school. What if it rains and the rainwater comes in and wets the books on the table?
This kid...
So he walked into the room, instead of looking at the book spread out on the desk, he walked to the window and prepared to close the window for his daughter.
Just when he leaned out to hold the old-fashioned sliding window, his eyes naturally turned to the abandoned open space outside the window.
In the middle of the open space surrounded by weeds, a man and a woman stood.
The two people stood very close, almost cheek to cheek.
The girl holds the boy in her arms.
Her tall figure made Li Ziqiang's pupils shrink suddenly.
That's his daughter.
He looked at the boy who was being hugged by his daughter. After staring at his side face for a few seconds, Li Ziqiang remembered that it was the boy who had "shit luck" and scored three goals in the team test match.
The boy with the ball.
His name is a bit special, it's...
Hu Lai.
Yes, Hu Lai.
While thinking of this name, Li Ziqiang also thought of his daughter asking him last night if he would recruit Hu Lai into the school team. There seemed to be a sense of protection in her words...
The smile on Li Ziqiang's face as he stared at the scene outside the window had completely disappeared, and his eyes were a little sinister.
