Fox in the Penalty Area

"...This morning local time, Li Qingqing, who plays for Paris Eger, bid farewell to our reporter and some Paris Eger fans who came after hearing the news at the airport, and boarded the flight to the capital...she will be there Meet up with the women's national team and train together to prepare for the Women's World Cup to be held in my country at the end of June..."

"Because it was rumored that Li Qingqing might leave the Paris-Egerl women's football team, some Paris-Egerre fans came to the airport to see her off today. Our reporter randomly interviewed several Paris-Egerre fans on the spot, come and listen How do they evaluate Li Qingqing's performance in Paris Eger..."

"Before Li Qingqing came, I didn't know much about Chinese football. It was Li Qingqing who let me know that there are such outstanding players in China... Of course I hope she can stay. But I also understand her and thank her for playing in Paris Eger IV. The contribution of the season..."

"Li Qingqing is the most talented female football player I have ever seen. She is still very young, and I think she will become the top female football player in the world in the future...I hate her to leave, but this is football, this is life... "

"...I don't understand why the club would agree to let Li Qingqing leave. If I were the general manager of the club, I would definitely deny this idea...but unfortunately I am not. I wish her good luck and wish her a good performance in the World Cup in the summer Excellent results..."

"We didn't win any championships this season. It's not Li Qingqing's responsibility... She has worked very hard. The club is investing less and less in women's football. I love women's football. I think people's attention to women's football is still far away. Not enough. I heard that Li Qingqing is very popular in China, she must be able to feel the feeling of being needed and valued..."

"...The above is the report sent back from the scene. Finally, I also wish Li Qingqing and the women's football girls to compete in style and level in this World Cup..."

Li Ziqiang looked away from the TV screen. After watching the news, the temperature of the noodles was just right, so he didn't have to worry about burning his mouth and throat.

Satisfied, he took a big breath and swallowed with a snort.

This time his daughter not only returned to China early, but also went directly to the capital. The scene he was worried about last year finally didn't have to be repeated before his eyes.

Although it is said that next year it may become the same again... Anyway, his daughter will not come back with Hu Lai this year.

Let's talk about the future!

Hu Lai and Morikawa Junping had dinner with Song Jiajia in a restaurant.

Leeds City challenged Burleigh in an away game, and neither of them was selected for the squad, so they were free to have this meal with Song Jiajia tonight.

In order to prepare for next Thursday's Europa League semi-finals, Clark has made significant adjustments to the league lineup.

Many players, including Hu Lai and Morikawa Junpei, who participated in the first round of the Europa League semi-finals, either did not enter the squad, or even if they entered the squad, they did not start the game.

Hu Lai and Morikawa Junping who stayed in Leeds were called out by Song Jiajia to have a meal together.

Song Jiajia didn't say what it was, they were chatting all the time during the meal, and there was no serious discussion.

In Song Jiajia's words, it was simply that he happened to come to Europe and asked them out for a meal by the way.

This is like the kind of "I'm doing something here at your house, are you free? Come over for a meal if you are free".

After eating, while Morikawa Junping was going to the toilet, Song Jiajia handed a red rope bracelet to Hu Lai: "Qingqing asked me to give it to you, she said you know."

Hu Lai took the bracelet and nodded: "Well, she told me that it would increase my luck."

"How many whispers have you two whispered behind my back?" Song Jiajia hummed.

Hu Lai smiled slightly without explaining.

Song Jiajia didn't ask any further questions, and talked about Li Qingqing's transfer progress: "Next season, Qingqing will most likely go to the Madrid King's women's football team."

"Ok."

Seeing Hu Lai's reaction,

Song Jiajia turned to look at him strangely: "Don't you think it's a pity?"

"What a pity? What a pity?"

"If she came to the women's football team at London Bridge or Warship Harbor, wouldn't it be much easier for you to meet again?"

Hou Lai asked: "Are London Bridge and Naval Harbor a good choice?"

Song Jiajia shook her head: "Not as good as the King of Madrid..."

"He came to London with his head flooded."

Hearing Hu Lai's words, Song Jiajia rolled her eyes: "You're just out of your mind!"

Then he said: "But it doesn't matter, anyway, you may also go to the King of Madrid in the future."

Hu Lai didn't answer, because Morikawa Junping just came back.

The two did not discuss this topic again.

※※※

Back home, Hu Lai and Morikawa Junpei said good night to each other, and went into their bedroom.

He sat down at the table with the football on it.

Then he took out the bracelet given by Song Jiajia from his pocket.

Most of the bracelets are woven with red rope, but there are a few colored threads in the middle, which makes the bracelet look not so simple.

The weaving is a little rough, because it was hand-knitted by Li Qingqing himself.

Hu Lai had known about this bracelet for a long time.

It was during a video chat between him and Li Qingqing, Li Qingqing suddenly asked about a red bracelet that he would sometimes wear during the game.

Of course, it was impossible for Hu Lai to tell Li Qingqing that it was his system item.

It can only be said that he bought it online and added something useful for himself - because he scored a goal in the first game of the Dongchuan Middle School team, and it was this goal that helped him win the favor of coach Li Ziqiang , and finally got another chance to come off the bench in the final of the Anton Cup.

And he was wearing a red bracelet in the first game. So he thinks that the red bracelet can add good luck to himself.

Later, such a slightly superstitious "habit" was formed.

Li Qingqing knew this, because she was watching from the sidelines during Hu Lai's first match, and indeed saw the red bracelet.

But why can she see the bracelet in some games, but not in some games?

That's because in some games, Hu Lai has points to buy bracelets, but in some games he doesn't have points to buy, or he doesn't want to buy...

But Hu Lai couldn't explain the reason.

He can only say that the quality of the wristbands bought online is low, and if they are not worn properly, they will be easily worn out if the action is more intense during the competition, and they will fall off at some point. For this reason, he also specially wholesaled a bunch of these bracelets, and exchanged one for another.

This answer made Li Qingqing very speechless - since it is something that can increase good luck, how can it be wholesaled online? This is too careless!

Hu Lai can only attribute it to himself being a "straight man of steel".

Having said that, Li Qingqing said that he might as well make one for Hu Lai himself, and use a few more strands of rope to make it stronger.

At first, Hu Lai thought that Li Qingqing was just talking casually.

Unexpectedly, she was still checking in with Hu Lai on WeChat. On the first day, I took pictures of the materials I prepared, and then every day I took pictures of my progress to show Hu Lai.

In this way, it took about ten days to weave two, one for her own use and one for Hu Lai.

She calls this "lucky red rope", hoping to bring good luck to herself and Hu Lai.

To participate in the World Cup herself, she really needs good luck.

And Hu Lai also needs good luck to participate in the Europa League.

Hu Lai put the ring on his wrist, put his wrist under the light, took a photo with his mobile phone, and sent it to Li Qingqing: "I received it!"

Soon Li Qingqing sent a grinning expression: "How is it?"

"It's pretty good. It looks like you knitted it yourself. It's unique in the world. It shouldn't be the same as the one in your hand!"

"I hate it!" Why didn't Li Qingqing know that Hu Lai was teasing her craftsmanship, so he said angrily, "Just tell me if you like it or not?"

"I like it, I like it. Look, I'm wearing it."

"Oh, you don't need to wear it now. You can wear it until the game!"

"It's okay, I'll put it on for you to see now, and I'll take it off later."

"Yeah." Li Qingqing sent a red smiley emoji.

After finishing chatting with Li Qingqing, Hu Lai took off the red string from his wrist and held it in his hand to examine it carefully.

A question suddenly popped up in my mind:

Now that Li Qingqing gave him such a bracelet, if he took out the [Lover's Red String] from the system after the game, wouldn't he have to tie two bracelets on his wrist? Li Qingqing saw it, how would he explain it?

This is a very serious question, and Hu Lai's expression also became serious.

After thinking and thinking, Hu Lai decided to do an experiment—he entered the system, exchanged 10,000 points for a [Lover's Red String], and took it out from the system space.

Any props can actually be brought out from the system space, but it may not be useful to bring them out.

Just like [Lover's Red Rope], it only works in competitions. So now he takes it out and wears it on his wrist, and this prop doesn't work at all.

He knew it wouldn't work, he just wanted to test whether two bracelets would appear on his arms at the same time.

So he first put on the bracelet woven by Li Qingqing, and then used [Lover's Red String] on himself.

Next, a ray of light suddenly lit up on Li Qingqing's woven bracelet.

After the brilliance, Hu Lai was surprised to find that there was only a red bracelet on his arm that Li Qingqing woven himself.

And [Lover's Red String] disappeared.

He opened the system vision, looked at his wrist, and a message jumped out from his wrist:

[True Lover's Red String]:

Slightly increases the wearer's luck, only valid in competitions. Permanent.

Small print description: You have obtained the bracelet carefully woven by your lover, good luck will always be with you, just like your love will last forever.

Note: This is one of two bracelets, one of which is on your lover's hand.

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the two bracelets would be combined in this way.

This means that he no longer has to spend 10,000 points in exchange for [Lover's Red Rope] every game!

It saved him a lot of points...

He really didn't expect the system to be able to upgrade some things in reality like this.

I don't know if everything is fine, or if there are only some specific things... For example, this bracelet that Li Qingqing woven for him, because it has a special meaning, it just fits the function of the original system item [Lover's Red String] , will produce such a wonderful change.

Then he noticed the notes.

"This is one of two bracelets, one of which is on your lover's hand."

He was a little concerned, and had an idea in his mind, so he found Li Qingqing on WeChat again: "Put yours on, too, and take a photo for me to see?"

"Okay." Li Qingqing agreed without asking why.

Soon a photo was sent.

A red bracelet stood out on a smooth and clean wrist.

Hu Lai stared at the bracelet on the photo, and a message popped up in the system's vision:

[True Lover's Red String]:

Slightly increases the wearer's luck, only valid in competitions. Permanent.

Description in small print: The bracelet you carefully woven for yourself and your lover symbolizes your love, and may good luck always be with you.

Note: This is one of two bracelets, one of which is on your lover's hand.
