Fox in the Penalty Area

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Hu Lai turned on the lighting switch in the room, and the chandelier on the ceiling lit up, sprinkling orange and yellow light evenly in the room.

"This room is usually vacant. Morikawa's manager stayed for a while. However, all the sheets and quilts on the bed were changed, and they were all clean. It is fully in line with the standard of carrying a bag..."

Hu Lai led Li Qingqing into the room and introduced her.

Li Qingqing laughed behind him.

"No, what's so funny about this?" Hu Lai was helpless, feeling that Li Qingqing laughed extraordinarily many times today.

"If you change into another suit, you are a real estate agent." Li Qingqing smiled and curled his eyes.

"Hey!" Hu Lai gave Li Qingqing a white look, and then went on to introduce. "This house is also a suite. There is a bathroom. You can wash in the house without going to the public guard. If you want to wash the toiletries... you brought them all yourself, right?"

Li Qingqing nodded: "Well, I brought them all."

"Then you rest early, if you have anything, just call me."

Hu Lai will quit after speaking.

Li Qingqing stopped him: "Ai Hu Lai."

He stood at the door and looked back: "Huh?"

"thank you."

Hu Lai frowned: "Why do you want to say thank you?"

"Thank you for taking me in, or else I will just live on the street."

"What's the matter? I knew the hotel was so hip, why bother to run. You should live here directly from the beginning. Fortunately, I didn't leave at the time, otherwise it depends on what you do..."

Li Qingqing asked: "Then why did you not leave at that time?"

"I just want to wait, in case you have something else you forgot to take..." Hu Lai casually found an excuse. "Look, I really waited."

Li Qingqing chuckled, "Good night, Hu Lai."

"OK, good night."

Hu Lai walked backwards out of the room and closed the door to Li Qingqing.

Then he turned to the right and entered his room-this vacant guest room was next to his room.

So in fact there is only a wall between the two.

He stood at the door and waited for a while, only when he saw no shouts from Li Qingqing, he went to the bathroom to wash.

After Hu Lai closed the door, Li Qingqing still kept the posture of looking at the door just now. It took a while before she opened the suitcase, took her wash bag and pajamas, and prepared to take a shower.

※※※

Li Qingqing, in her pajamas, spread the hair that had just been dried, and then walked to the window.

It was almost late at night and it was pitch black outside.

There are only a few lights in the distance, which should be the windows of the villa in the distance.

This is the villa area, and there is a long distance between houses. Looking from the window, the lights scattered in the dark are like stars in the night sky falling on the earth.

As for the cars passing by on the highway, their swaying lights are like meteors across the sky.

The night here is not peaceful, except for the occasional roar of passing cars, the whistle of wind blowing through tree branches, and the faint sound of gurgling water from a small stream in the distance.

However, after passing through the closed window, the volume has been reduced a lot, and it has become less annoying.

On this night, it is a serenade that makes people feel at ease.

※※※

Hu Lai walked out of the bathroom wearing a pair of underwear, and then listened carefully at the door for a while, but did not hear Li Qingqing's voice. Then he turned and walked to the bed.

He threw off his slippers and threw himself on the bed.

But just after turning over, he suddenly sat up and listened again.

Nothing happened.

It seems that Li Qingqing has not encountered any problems that cannot be solved.

He lay down again.

The body rubbed against the bed sheet cup and made a rustle, which made him mistakenly thought it was Li Qingqing's cry...

He laughed at himself--why there is still a bit of rumbling hey?

He reached out and turned off the light, and the room plunged into darkness.

※※※

Li Qingqing stretched, drew the curtains, turned and walked to the bed.

Lifting the quilt and getting in, after wrapping herself tightly, feeling the warmth in the quilt, she stretched out her hand to turn off the light.

After the initial darkness, her eyes gradually adapted to the environment in the room, and she could clearly see the ceiling and the furnishings in the room.

With a burst of low-frequency noise of rubber tires running across the asphalt road, lights flashed past the curtains.

It's as if the camera flashes in an old-fashioned movie.

Lying on this soft but unfamiliar bed, Li Qingqing was not drowsy at all.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the ceiling.

The heartbeat is a bit fast.

※※※

Hu Lai turned over on the bed again, making a rustle again.

So he kept his body still, letting the ears become quiet again.

After making sure that there was nothing on the other side of the wall, he finished this turn.

I closed my eyes and opened them again soon.

A car drove by on the road outside the house, a yellow light flashed on his window, and then swiped towards the next room.

I don't know why, when he thinks of Li Qingqing sleeping in a room separated from him by a wall, he is a little...tossed and turned.

Although I have known Li Qingqing for many years, it is still a brand new experience today.

His brain is running at high speed and is very active.

※※※

Hu Lai didn't know when he finally fell asleep, but from the time he saw when he opened his eyes, he could judge that he was...no, it must have been late in the morning.

Because he actually fell asleep.

Didn't wake up until almost half past nine.

"Fuck me!" He jumped up from the bed, put on his clothes, simply finished washing, and opened the bedroom door.

Before going downstairs, I heard the sound coming from downstairs. It was the movement of metal knives and forks colliding with ceramic dinner plates.

He was in a daze-isn't Morikawa going to play away? Why are you back again?

But he quickly recovered.

Ah, it's not Senchuan, it's Li Qingqing, because Li Qingqing spent the night here yesterday.

Sure enough, when he stood on the second floor of the stairs and looked down, he saw the beautiful shadow.

Li Qingqing is putting plates on the table.

"When did you get up?" he asked.

Li Qingqing looked up and saw Hu Lai standing upstairs, and laughed, "About eight o'clock?"

"are not you sleepy?"

"It's not sleepy." Li Qingqing shook her head, the ponytail flicked behind her head. "Have you washed? I wanted to wait until I got everything done before calling you."

Hu Lai came downstairs: "washed up."

Then, looking at the rich breakfast on the table, he restrained the urge to take out the phone and take pictures in the group: "Are you cooking alone in Paris?"

"Yes, how about it?" Li Qingqing asked rhetorically.

"If I am alone, I only have breakfast at home, and lunch and dinner are all settled in the club restaurant."

"Do you want me to teach you two tricks?"

Hu Lai glanced at Li Qingqing, who was wearing an apron with one hand on his hips and a spatula with the other hand: "No, I will do it."

"Will you? The ‘real technology’ kind?"

"That was an accident!"

"Hehe. Then why do you want to rub the restaurant?"

"Because I'm lazy."

"..." Li Qingqing was choked by Hu Lai for this reason. "You are quite righteous!"

Hu Lai sat down at the dining table: "How did you sleep yesterday?"

"It's okay, some recognition of the bed at first. But it will be fine later."

"Where do you want to go during the day?" Hu Lai asked again.

"Didn't you say that there is nothing interesting in Leeds?"

"What if you want to go?"

"I didn't." The ponytail flicked again.

"Um..." Hu Lai said after meditation, "or just watch the game at home! Our game with Warship Harbor is in the afternoon, and we will have time to go to the airport after watching."

"Okay." Li Qingqing did not object.

Hu Lai asked, "Will it be a bit boring? Or go shopping?"

"If you don't go shopping, just watch the game." Li Qingqing was firm, and then said: "I thaw the top of the beef steak when I made breakfast. I must let you taste the steak I made at noon!"

"But I want to eat Chinese food..."

"Chinese food?"

"Yes. For example, roast beef with potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Everything is good in our team restaurant, but there are no such dishes."

Li Qingqing thought for a while. There were indeed potatoes, tomatoes and eggs in the refrigerator.

So she agreed: "Okay, then eat beef with potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

※※※

After breakfast, the two of them tidied out the dining table together and immediately started preparing lunch.

Refreeze the steak, find the beef that is more suitable for stew from the freezer, and thaw it again.

In the middle, because Li Qingqing found that the seasoning was wrong, Hu Lai drove out alone to an Asian supermarket to buy the seasoning he needed.

When Hu Lai returned home, he found that Li Qingqing had peeled all the potatoes.

Carrying the bag, he saw Li Qingqing busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, and he was a little dazed.

Almost thought he really returned home, not in a rented villa.

"Hey, why didn't you come in when you came back? Why did you stop at the door?" Li Qingqing asked, curiously, seeing Hu Lai standing at the door in a daze.

That smell is even more obvious...

Hu Lai shook his head quickly to throw the intention out of his mind, walked over and took the seasoning out of the bag: "All you want is here."

Li Qingqing picked them up and looked at them one by one, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad!"

※※※

When the fragrance floated all over the room, Hu Lai was already looking forward to eating the long-lost...Chinese food.

Not like red chili, but a more homely Chinese meal.

The appearance may not be so good, but the taste will make him more familiar.

After all, when the smell came out of the pot, he instantly thought he had returned to Dongchuan.

Even if he is a professional player, he still has a Chinese stomach that cannot be changed...

※※※

The beef is simmered, the tomato and egg are served, and the rice is out of the pot.

Hu Lai and Li Qingqing sat next to each other at the table again, enjoying this rare "homely meal".

"You eat first!" Chef Li Qingqing made a please gesture, and after Hu Lai took a bite, he leaned forward on the table, looked at him with expectant eyes and asked: "How does it taste? "

Hu Lai frowned and did not answer him.

"What's the matter?" Li Qingqing asked with wide eyes in confusion.

She saw Hu Lai stretch out her chopsticks and put a piece of beef into her mouth, chewing carefully, her brows still frowning, and at the same time she murmured: "Strange..."

"What's weird?"

"Weird... it may be too long since I have eaten roast beef with potatoes. I feel like I have to eat a few more pieces before I know how it tastes." Hu Lai said, holding another piece of beef.

Li Qingqing suddenly realized: "Save me some!"

"There are so many potatoes, and I didn't stop you!"

"Who said potatoes!"

Li Qingqing was not polite with Hu Lai, and twisted a piece of beef. But she didn't put it directly in her mouth, but put it in a bowl.

The beef soup flowed out and penetrated into the rice below. She used chopsticks to pry in from below, and put the crystal clear rice and beef into her mouth.

Then he closed his eyes and groaned intoxicated: "It's great! I made beef with potatoes, so delicious!"

"Wang Po sells melons..."

"Hu Lai, what are you talking about?"

"I said it's really delicious!" Hu Lai said and put himself a piece of beef.

"Don't just eat beef, scrambled eggs with tomatoes are also delicious!"

The two immersed themselves in the meal. When they raised their heads again, Li Qingqing looked at Hu Lai and smiled again.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Hu Mazi." Li Qingqing pointed to his face.

Hu Lai realized that there were a few grains of rice sticking to his mouth.

So he also pointed to Li Qingqing's face and said, "You too."

"Where?" Li Qingqing started groping on his face.

But I still found nothing after touching it for a while.

And Hu Lai has taken the opportunity to attack the little beef left in the bowl~www.readwn.com~ As for the rice on the face... How did the Beatles sing a song? Letitbe, let it go.

"Cunning! Damn it!" Li Qingqing said anxiously, but she couldn't help but watch-she couldn't use chopsticks and Hu Lai to "fence", right?

But Hu Lai did not retract the chopsticks holding the beef, but stepped over and put the beef into Li Qingqing's bowl.

She stared for a moment.

Hu Lai said: "The chef has worked hard."

Li Qingqing picked up the beef separately, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully.

The corners of the mouth are higher and higher.

"Wow, laughing so happy?"

"Because it's really delicious!"
