Fox in the Penalty Area

When Li Ziqiang saw his daughter and Hu Lai side by side, walking out of the VIP channel at Dongsheng Airport, he was no longer as shocked as he was when he saw this scene at this time last year.

Because his daughter had told him in advance, Hu Lai was going to take a car.

At first, when he heard his daughter's request, Li Ziqiang refused in his heart. But considering Hu Lai's influence and fame, if he is allowed to take a taxi back alone... the World Cup is coming soon, he is also afraid of complications.

So only for the sake of the World Cup, I agreed.

However, after seeing Hu Lai, he still didn't give a good face. He nodded to Hu Lai with a stern face and bowed head, without saying anything to be self-conscious, then he turned around and showed a caring smile to his daughter: "Tired on the road?"

"Not tired, Hu Lai is with me." Li Qingqing glanced at Hu Lai with a grin.

The old father felt that his chest breath was a little uncomfortable. He looked at Hu Lai again, and said in a calm tone: "Take the Premier League champion and the golden boots, kid don't float."

Hu Lai quickly said: "No no, coach, how could I be floating? You know, people all over the world are floating, and I am still firmly rooted on the ground!"

"All right, anyway, you can do it for yourself." Li Ziqiang took his daughter's luggage cart and pushed forward.

Behind him, Hu Lai pushed into his luggage cart, and Li Qingqing continued to walk side by side with him.

Once Li Ziqiang turned his head, he could see his daughter's smiling eyes.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Hu Lai and Li Ziqiang put their suitcases on to the trunk one by one, and the backpacks that couldn't fit accounted for half of the back seats.

This time without Li Ziqiang speaking, Hu Lai consciously sat in the co-pilot position, leaving Li Qingqing behind with his luggage.

Li Ziqiang was the last one to get in the car. He sat in the driver’s seat, plugging in the seat belt, and said to Hu Lai: “I’ll still drive directly back to our community. Then let your mother come and pick you up. Don't you worry about it?"

Hu Lai had no objection, and nodded again and again: "It's okay, coach. You can bring me back to Dongchuan, and I can handle the rest by myself."

Li Qingqing, who was sitting at the back, also came to the spirit: "Yes, new home! The new home I haven't been to yet!"

Hu Lai was surprised: "Li Qingqing, have you moved?"

"Hey, I also bought a house." Li Qingqing said proudly. "I bought it with the money I saved from playing football over the past few years. Although it's not as big as your house, I like it very much!"

"Then you are really amazing." Hu Lai turned around and gave a thumbs up.

Li Qingqing, who was praised, laughed happily.

Listening to the two young people chatting and laughing in the car, Li Ziqiang decided to change the subject forcibly, so he asked Hu Lai as he drove: "We will be training on the 15th, why do we have to go back to Dongchuan to toss this round?"

If your kid doesn’t go back to Dongchuan and just stay in Jincheng honestly, there won’t be today’s one...

"Ah, I think Dongchuan and Jincheng are close anyway, so I will come home by the way and see my parents." Hu Lai explained.

Hearing what he said, Li Ziqiang was embarrassed to say something. Could it be that people shouldn't go home to visit his parents? How can there be such a reason?

God is so chatty...

Fortunately, at this time, the daughter asked, "Dad, how does it feel to live in the new house?"

"How? Just like that..."

"Is the community still running out of water for three days?" Li Qingqing asked with a grin.

"Hey you..." Li Ziqiang wanted to teach his daughter a few words, when he remembered that there were outsiders in the car, he swallowed again.

"Huh? Li Qingqing, your community used to be without water?" Hu Lai asked curiously.

"Yeah. Just last year we went home together. You walked to the gate of the community. Dad and I found that there was no water in the house. Let alone cooking, we couldn't wash in the bath..." Li Qingqing told Hu Lai vividly. Her experience of being embarrassed.

Li Ziqiang saw the two young men chatting happily again, this time he couldn't interrupt anymore, so he had to sigh quietly in his heart.

Qingqing fell asleep shortly after getting in the car last time. Why is she so energetic this time...

※※※

Although I was very excited after getting in the car and kept chatting, it was as if the driver was not Li Ziqiang in the driver's seat, but a dedicated private car driver.

But as the car followed the traffic on the highway, the two young men finally fell silent and went to sleep one after another after a long time.

Li Ziqiang observed his daughter through the rearview mirror and found that she was leaning on the backpack next to her, propped her face with her hands, closed her eyes and nodded slightly.

He retracted his gaze, and then looked at the flow of traffic ahead that was still unable to get up, his gaze softened, and he was no longer so anxious.

Just let my daughter sleep a little longer...

But this tender moment was broken by a sudden snoring sound.

Li Ziqiang turned his head and saw Hu Lai's head slanted on the car window glass, sleeping soundly, and the snoring sound continued from his open mouth...

Li Ziqiang felt that the veins on his forehead were jumping.

If only you and your daughter were in this car, what a filial piety to the father and daughter!

But...

He made up his mind that next year, no matter what... he won't agree to his daughter's request again, no matter how she acted like a baby!

Thinking of this, Li Ziqiang decided to speed up and rush home. His daughter wanted to sleep and let her go home. How could she sleep well in the car so crookedly?

So Li Ziqiang observed the distance in the rearview mirror from left to right, then turned on the turning lights, manually downshifted, stepped on the accelerator, and slammed the steering wheel.

Change lanes and overtake in one go!

The sound of snoring around me was a little stopped for a second...

※※※

Li Ziqiang stopped the car on the side of the road next to the gate of Hailan Shengjing, and 20 meters ahead was the entrance to the underground garage. He had to put Hu Lai down here.

So he shouted: "Here it is!"

The two young people in the car woke up one after another. They opened their sleepy eyes and looked at the scene outside the window. They were a little confused.

Hu Lai rubbed his eyes and looked at the gate of the community outside the car window in a daze.

Li Qingqing woke up with a backpack and turned around, looked up at the street view outside the window, and asked in a daze, "Dad, where is this?"

Li Ziqiang half-jokingly said to his daughter: "Oh, you haven't woken up yet? You picked it yourself, but you didn't recognize it?"

Li Qingqing lay on the edge of the window, looking at the gate of the community outside, and finally his eyes fell on the four bronzing characters "Hailan Shengjing".

Her brain was a little sober, and she whispered: "Ah, it's our house!"

Hu Lai, the co-pilot, was shocked at why the coach knew about his home and sent him home directly. He heard Li Qingqing's whisper. He was shocked to look back at Li Qingqing, and then at Li Ziqiang.

Noting Hu Lai's gaze, Li Ziqiang asked sternly, "What are you doing?"

"This...coach, do you live here?" He pointed to the four words "Hailan Shengjing" outside.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Uh..." Hu Lai looked at the coach's black face, and did not dare to say anything.

He could only shake his head again and again: "Nothing is nothing. Then I got off the coach, thank you coach..."

After speaking, he opened the door quickly and jumped out of the car, and went to the trunk to carry his luggage.

After moving the luggage down at the fastest speed, he waved to Li Qingqing: "Goodbye!"

Li Qingqing poked his head out of the rear window a little, smiled and waved to Hu Lai: "Goodbye!"

Before the words fell, the car had slowly driven out.

Hu Lai stood on the side of the road and watched the car turn in from the entrance of the underground garage in front. It was a little messy in the wind... But he quickly picked up his mood, put his bag on his back, pulled up two suitcases, and turned to the gate of the community. Go.

※※※

The car was parked in the parking space of the underground garage. Li Ziqiang and his daughter took all the luggage down together, and then pulled a suitcase with both left and right hands, leaving Li Qingqing with a backpack on his back and walked towards the unit door.

When only the two of them were left, Li Qingqing finally asked the question that had been held in her heart for a long time: "Dad, I always think...are you too harsh on Hu Lai?"

"Huh?" Li Ziqiang, who was walking in front, looked back at his daughter in surprise.

"I think he is a bit crept in front of you... He is the biggest player in the country anyway, and he is like a student player in front of you..."

"It's okay if he is really afraid of me!" Li Ziqiang hummed.

"Why?" Li Qingqing didn't understand.

Seeing this, Li Ziqiang stopped and said to his daughter: "You have said that he is the biggest player in the country. Then you must have seen how the domestic media and fans praised him and praised him?"

Li Qingqing nodded-in fact, every time after Hu Lai's game, she likes to go online to see how those fans and media reporters fancy touted Hu Lai. Hu Lai was not well-known before, and it took a lot of work for her to find similar compliments. But now there is no need for her to deliberately look for it. As long as she opens her Weibo account, the homepage is basically all praises from those who follow her to Hu Lai.

"So there is no shortage of nice words around him. And I want to say what he doesn't like to listen to, and I want to treat him like before." Li Ziqiang said seriously, "I hope that at least when he is in front of me, he can still Always remain humble and vigilant. Only in this way will he not be so easily lost in those nice voices."

Li Qingqing didn't expect her father to be so hard-hearted, and then she laughed: "As expected of your proud disciple, father, you still care about him so much!"

Hearing what his daughter said, Li Ziqiang squeezed a smile and pulled up the box again: "Let's go, go home!"

"Well, go home!" Li Qingqing, who untied her knot, was very happy. She hopped forward, opened and pulled the door of the unit building for her father, and greeted like a doorman:

"Dad, please come in!"

When Li Ziqiang saw the ghostly appearance of his daughter, this time he laughed from the bottom of his heart.

※※※

Hu Lai pressed the elevator up button and stood at the door waiting for the car to rise from the second basement floor.

At the same time, he wondered whether to tell Li Qingqing that they actually live in the same community...

Li Qingqing is okay, Hu Lai is mainly worried about the coach.

I don’t know if the coach will take Li Qingqing away overnight...

Probably not?

Although he doesn't like me, he can't make "Meng's mother moved three times" to avoid me...

Just when Hu Lai was thinking about it, with a ding sound, the elevator stopped and the car door slowly opened in front of him.

He raised his head and stared at the elevator, and the people in the elevator stared at him.

He saw two familiar faces, and the other party saw him.

Li Ziqiang's eyes widened, and Li Qingqing exclaimed: "Yeah!"

Hu Lai stood at the door, completely stunned, so that the elevator door slowly closed, and he did not react.

Fortunately, Li Qingqing moved fast and quickly pressed the door open button, which allowed the door to reopen—she saw Hu Lai dragging the suitcase again.

"Why are you here, Hu Lai?" She asked in surprise and joy.

"I should ask you this, why are you here?" Hu Lai pointed at his feet.

"This is my house!" Li Qingqing replied confidently.

"This is my home too!" Hu Lai also said categorically.

Li Qingqing turned to look at her father, and found that the latter was dumbfounded.

So she turned to Hu Lai again and waved to him: "Come in first, or the elevator should call the police!"

Hu Lai just woke up like a dream, dragging two large suitcases to squeeze in. The elevator suddenly became a bit crowded. Li Qingqing pulled her suitcase back a step, while she was still staring at Hu Lai’s hand. I plan to see which floor he presses.

After Hu Lai came in, he did intend to press the floor, but he raised his hands, only to find that "10" had been pressed to light...

He looked back at Li Qingqing, and said he was not so coincidental, right?

"What floor do you live on, Hu Lai?" Li Qingqing asked directly when Hu Lai hadn't moved.

"I... uh, what floor do you live on?"

"I asked first!"

"Lady first……"

"Yes, so I asked first."

"I mean madams give priority to answering questions, which floor do you live on?"

"What the hell!" Li Qingqing protested.

In the end, none of them answered, because when they were noisy, the elevator had stopped on the tenth floor.

Hu Lai first pulled his luggage down, and then Li Qingqing and the silent Li Ziqiang dragged the boxes and walked out of the elevator.

Then the three people looked at each other in the elevator like this. Even if Li Qingqing was stupid, she should have guessed it at this time. Her eyes were wide open: "Isn't it, Hu Lai? You live on the tenth floor too?!"

Hu Lai said with a heart: Damn, do you want to be so bloody!

At the same time, he took a step forward, shoulder to shoulder with Li Qingqing, and then turned towards the same direction.

"I live ~www.novelmt.com~ he said.

"We live...1003." Li Qingqing looked at the house number on her door.

Then they fell into silence at the same time, just turning their heads to each other and looking at each other.

Even Li Ziqiang, who was standing behind them, did not speak, and fell into a certain sluggish state.

The silence was not broken until the door of 1004 was opened, accompanied by a hearty voice.

A middle-aged woman poked out from the door and said with a smile, "I think the time is almost up... Just now I said that when I heard your boy talking outside the door, I didn't see anyone knocking on the door. As a result, the door opened. , You stupidly stood there doing... eh?"

Xie Lan, who opened the door, saw her son and a girl standing side by side, staring at each other. And this girl is tall and has a face she is so familiar with that she can no longer be familiar with.

Seeing this scene, Xie Lan couldn't say the rest of the words...
