Fox in the Penalty Area

After coming out of Hulai’s room, the two of them sat and chatted in the living room downstairs. They talked about the interesting things from the school days and the interesting people and things in their clubs.

During this process, Li Qingqing was often amused by Hu Lai, tears soaring with laughter.

I couldn't talk anymore in a good day, and I was interrupted by Li Qingqing's laugh time and time again.

Hu Lai was speechless at this time, spreading his hands: "Is it that funny? I feel like you haven't stopped laughing tonight..."

Li Qingqing finally stopped laughing and shook his head: "No wonder people say that you are the founder of the crosstalk football genre... I think you don't have to bother to move on the court. Just tell your opponents a joke and laugh them. Once it's down, you will naturally be unguarded!"

"Who do you think of me? I tell you, I am a serious player!"

Upon hearing Hu Lai's words, Li Qingqing laughed again: "Are you still serious?"

"Where am I serious?"

"Your opponents probably don't agree with you being serious!"

When Hu Lai was about to refute, he heard the WeChat video ringing.

Mobile phone from Li Qingqing.

The two people looked at the screen at the same time and found that what appeared on it was...

"dad"

"Isn't it? The rounds?" Hu Lai blurted out of surprise.

Li Qingqing glared at him, then picked up the phone and walked aside to make sure that Hu Lai would not appear in his video screen, and then the video call was connected.

Soon the face of her father Li Ziqiang appeared over there.

"dad?"

"You haven't slept yet, Qingqing?"

"Nope."

"Oh, aren't you at home?" Li Ziqiang frowned slightly, "It doesn't look like your apartment..."

"Oh, no, I'm outside. Is there anything, Dad?"

"It's okay. I'm here with grandpa and grandma today, and they want to see you." Li Ziqiang said and waved to the side, and soon Li Qingqing's grandpa and grandma appeared on the screen.

Li Qingqing greeted them, shouting sweetly: "Grandpa and grandma!"

"Ah, Qingqing!"

Hu Lai watched Li Qingqing and her family start a video chat on the phone, and he silently turned his phone to mute.

Then he overheard Li Qingqing chatting with her family.

From Li Qingqing's recent talks to the daily life of their two elders, the grandmother told Li Qingqing to complain about Li Ziqiang.

"...Your dad came here today and brought another bag of fruits. We haven't finished eating the last time he came... He threw it away! You said it's a pity? What a waste!"

Li Ziqiang's defense sounded from the side: "Mom, the oranges are all broken and moldy..."

"Aren't these two more good?" Grandma complained.

"The others in the same bag are moldy, only the two good ones, but even if they look good, how dare I let you eat them......" Li Ziqiang was helpless.

Li Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled: "Grandma, I will teach you a way. Next time before my dad comes, you will eat all the fruit, otherwise he will throw it away next time!"

At the same time, she glanced at Hu Lai concealedly and saw him swiping his phone with his head down. She didn't know if she had heard the conversation just now.

Grandma asked: "Qingqing, are you still living in that apartment alone?"

"Ah? Yeah... I'm alone..." Li Qingqing thought her little movements were seen by her grandmother, feeling a little guilty, and she didn't seem confident when she answered.

"You're not young anymore, don't you find a boyfriend?"

"Oh, grandma, I'm only twenty-three years old..."

Li Qingqing didn't expect her grandmother to ask this question. If it was normal, it would be fine, but the point is that she is not the only one in this room now!

So she was embarrassed.

"Twenty-three years old is not young anymore, two years later, twenty-five years old, twenty-five years old is only five years away from thirty years old. I tell you Qingqing, once twenty-five years old, that time passed It's fast..."

Li Qingqing took a peek at Hu Lai again, and found that he was still bowing his head, not knowing whether he heard it or not...

The grandmother over there was still talking: "...you are a girl, and you are still alone in a foreign country..."

Li Qingqing was afraid that her grandma would say something more outrageous, so she could only interrupt her: "Grandma, you all know that I am in a foreign country. Should I find a foreign boyfriend?"

Grandma was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, you can't find foreigners... I heard that they taste very heavy..."

"Then I am surrounded by foreigners, so I have to stop looking." Li Qingqing praised her wit.

"Aren't they all foreigners... Oh, who do I think..."

"Okay, okay, you see what you are talking about..." Before grandma could finish speaking, grandpa leaned into the screen and grabbed the phone with his face facing off the screen. "Don't worry about Qingqing's affairs. She is so tired from training games every day, how can she have the time to find a boyfriend?"

After complaining about his wife, grandpa looked at Li Qingqing: "Don't take your grandma's words to heart, she is like this...Your grandma is also worried about you."

"I won't, grandpa." Li Qingqing replied with a smile. "I have been abroad for so many years, and I have long been used to it. There is nothing to worry about."

"It's getting late, you should go to bed too? Let's not talk about it... Do you want to talk to Qingqing about self-improvement?"

There was no sound outside the screen, and Li Ziqiang might just wave his hand.

Grandpa turned his head and waved to the camera: "Good night, Qingqing!"

"Good night grandpa, good night grandma, good night dad!" Li Qingqing said good night one by one before ending the call.

Then she turned to look at Hu Lai, who was looking down: "Have you heard it all?"

Hu Lai laughed dryly: "Your grandma and my mother really look like..."

Li Qingqing frowned, "It's weird that you say that, as if you are saying Aunt Xie is old."

"No, you said your grandma was young." Hu Lai quickly defended.

Li Qingqing laughed and looked at the phone again: "Ah, it's really late, I have to go..."

"Go? Where to go?" Hu Lai was surprised, "Is there still a plane back to Paris so late?"

"What? I booked a hotel."

"Retire, live with me!" Hu Lai waved his hand and blurted out.

But he was stunned after saying this.

Now that he and Li Qingqing are two people, Morikawa Junpei is not there, which means that they are alone in the same room, but they have said to her to stay... Isn't it not too good?

What would Li Qingqing think about this?

Does she feel that her purpose is impure?

Thinking of this, Hu Lai was embarrassed.

Just when he was embarrassed, Li Qingqing said: "It's okay, I still go to the hotel."

Seeing her voice as usual, with a smile on her face, Hu Lai didn't seem to be offended because of her straight-heartedness just now, so she secretly relieved.

"Oh, good. Then I'll take you to the hotel..."

After speaking, he stood still.

"Then let's go?" Li Qingqing did not refuse, and walked to the door to carry the box.

"Okay, let's go." Hu Lai followed behind her.

※※※

Leeds is not very old. Although Hu Lai lives in the suburbs, he drove to the hotel quickly. In less than 20 minutes, he sent Li Qingqing to the entrance of the hotel.

"I'm leaving." Li Qingqing unfastened his seat belt and turned to Hu Lai.

"okay, see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

When Li Qingqing turned to open the door, Hu Lai stopped her again: "Eh..."

Li Qingqing retracted her hand and looked back at him: "Huh?"

"Goodbye." Hu Lai waved to him.

Li Qingqing smiled slightly: "Goodbye."

When she opened the door and got out of the car, the doorman had already taken the luggage out of the trunk, and led the way in front of her, leading her into the magnificent hotel lobby.

Hu Lai was in the car, turning to stare at her back through the revolving door and walking towards the front desk.

A sense of melancholy suddenly surged into my heart.

He regretted a bit, why didn't he have the attitude and resoluteness to directly keep Li Qingqing behind. Anyway, there are still vacant guest rooms, and they are not really in the same room. What's to worry about?

Besides, he and Li Qingqing have known each other for so many years, so why did they suddenly tweak?

※※※

Li Qingqing took out his passport and online booking voucher to check in at the front desk.

"Ms. Li?" The front desk clerk held up his passport.

Li Qingqing took off her peaked cap and mask, and asked the other party to compare the photos to verify their identity.

"Thank you." After the comparison was completed, the front desk began to bow her head to check in for her.

Li Qingqing put on the mask again and buttoned the cap.

Then stood in a daze.

The hotel was booked together with the air ticket. From the beginning, she never thought that she would go to Hu Lai’s house, let alone spend the night in his house.

So this should be a normal end.

but……

If I didn't insist on staying in the hotel at that time, would he really leave me behind?

Still suddenly smiled and said, "Are you serious?"

With the character of that bastard, the latter seems to be really possible...

Thinking of this, Li Qingqing turned to look at the hotel door. To her surprise, Hu Lai's car did not leave, but stopped outside the door with the brake lights on.

Suddenly she said to the front desk clerk who was doing business: "I'm really sorry, I'm suddenly in a hurry and can't move in anymore, okay?"

Although the other party was very surprised, he still kept his professional smile and returned his passport with both hands: "Of course, I hope I can serve you next time. Have a good time."

"Thank you. I'm very sorry..." After Li Qingqing took her passport, she pulled up the box and strode towards the door.

※※※

It seems reasonable that Li Qingqing came to Leeds to stay in a hotel.

Isn't she normal if she doesn't live in a hotel?

So what's wrong with booking the hotel in advance?

Yes, nothing wrong.

Then you are entangled in a ghost here!

If people don’t live in a hotel, why do they want to live with you?

Hu Lai thought for a while, and felt that this was right.

He laughed mockingly before realizing that he had been parked at the door of the hotel.

So he was ready to leave.

Just as he put his hand on the gear lever, the window of the co-pilot was knocked.

He turned his head to look, and saw Li Qingqing leaning down, gestured to him to open the trunk.

"Forgot something?" Hu Lai asked as he opened the electric rear door.

Then I found through the rearview mirror that Li Qingqing had repacked her box!

Then he saw Li Qingqing close the trunk, walked back to the co-pilot, opened the car door and sat in.

"What's the matter?" he asked in surprise.

Li Qingqing lowered his head and fastened his seat belt ~www.readwn.com~ and said, "There is a problem with the hotel system. I don't know why the room is full without my reservation information, so I cannot live today."

Fastening her seat belt, she looked up at Hu Lai: "So I can only go to live with you."

The latter stared at her blankly, without responding.

Li Qingqing tilted his head: "Why? Not welcome?"

Hu Lai reacted: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"

At the same time he stepped on the accelerator.

"Om——!"

The exhaust pipes and engine compartment of this world champion version of the chariot erupted with a hearty and violent roar at the same time, as if returning to the racing track.

Hu Lai blasted a big throttle...
