Fox in the Penalty Area

Hu Lai prevented her mother from trying to stuff things in his box: "Okay, mom, I'm going to participate in the competition of the technology group, but not to work ... What do you do with so many clothes for me?"

Then he gave Dad a guilty glance: "Dad, you are not going to work yet, are you afraid of being late?"

Hu Lixin sternly looked at his box with a blank expression, shaking his head and said, "You can't be late, don't worry about me."

"Oh ..." Hu Lai shrunk his neck. He really didn't want Dad to be by his side, for fear of any doubt.

In fact, until now, before he left home, he was worried that his plan was seen by his father, and then shut him at home ...

Xie Lan helped Hu Lai to lock the box, "Okay. When you go out, you should take care of yourself, and have good relations with your classmates, and do n’t provoke trouble. In addition, you should be generous when you are generous. … "

Hu Lai nodded again and again, ignoring the last sentence automatically: "If you know, you can rest assured, Mom. I'm not the kind of person who can cause trouble everywhere! I'm gone, I won't be able to catch up with the meeting time again ..."

When he was finished, he dragged his suitcase, carried his schoolbag, and stepped out the door.

"Be careful on the road, pay attention to safety, and call us when we arrive." Xie Lan gestured to him behind him.

Hu Lai turned back and waved to them: "Relax!"

Then he carried the box down the stairs.

After going downstairs, he turned and looked up. Sure enough, he saw his mother's figure again on his balcony. When he saw him, he waved at him.

He had to raise his hand and wave again, doing goodbye.

He didn't take a breath until he took the suitcase and got on the bus, making sure his dad wouldn't suddenly rush downstairs and took him home.

Thinking of the next national competition, he couldn't help laughing, and even hummed the song happily.

At this time, he was like a bird released from the cage. The sky and earth were so vast, let him soar.

The familiar street scenes outside the window are a lot more pleasing than usual, and the strange people on the bus have become good-looking.

He smiled to face every curious gaze thrown at him, and he used singing to express his mood.

But the people on the bus are just thinking: By the way, this kid is so bad to sing!

Hu Lai and his football teammates stood on the podium of the stadium. This is not the first time they have stood in this position.

For the matter of standing on the podium during the flag-raising ceremony, Hu Lai did not dare to think about it, but he did not expect that he had come up twice in a short period of time.

After today's flag-raising ceremony, under the witness of the national flag, the teachers and students of the whole school are holding a ceremony for all football players.

"... We hope that our football team will be able to play at the level of this national competition. We can show the style of our Dongchuan Middle School to the national fans and spectators at the national competition!" With the generous speech of the microphone, the teachers and students of the whole school looked up at the team on the stage. Many boys were full of envy, and the girls were heartbroken.

Song Jiajia glanced at Li Zhiqun again, and found that the other party's expression was a little sluggish.

Ha ha.

He sneered in his heart.

Then he turned his attention to the rostrum again.

Hu Lai is also among them, wearing uniforms of the school team, it looks like a football player ...

Hu Lai on the stage raised her chest and stood upright like a javelin, with a grin on her face.

"... Now, President Zhai Guangming is asked to award the flag to our Dongchuan Middle School football team! I wish the team a success!"

On the flagpole he was holding, a flag was drooping, and he held it in his hand.

The teachers in the audience took the lead in applauding, and then more students applauded.

In applause, Headmaster Zhai stepped forward and handed this flag to the team captain Chu Yifan.

"Kick well, but don't put any pressure on it." When the banner was handed over to Chu Yifan, the old principal said to him.

"Thank the principal, we will work hard!"

Chu Yifan took the flag with both hands and waved it vigorously on the rostrum. The yellow flag waved away from the wind, revealing the emblem of Dongchuan Middle School embroidered on it and the following two lines:

The 6th National Senior High School Football Championship 2020 · Anton Provincial Team:

Dongchuan Middle School Football Team

This flag will appear at the entrance ceremony of the national competition, was lifted up by Chu Yifan, walked over the podium where the leaders from the Football Association, the education department, and guests from all walks of life, let Dongchuan Middle School For the first time, the name appeared on the national competition field and appeared in everyone's vision.

The flag fluttered in the morning wind under the waving of Yifan Chu. Under the stage, the eyes of all teachers and students were attracted by this dancing flag, and behind him, the thoughts of all the football players flew with the flag, across the mountains and rivers, across the plains and hills, to the distant The capital of this national competition.

At the gate of Dongchuan Middle School at this moment, a red banner was hung above the gate:

"Chen Xingli, Chen Xingli? Who saw Chen Xingli?" Under the bus, Huang Hai, the captain of Shuguang Middle School, was looking around.

The men of the football team gathered him in front of them. Everyone was wearing uniforms in the uniform of Dawn High School.

Outside the crowd, there are teachers and leaders of the school, as well as three reporters who are carrying SLR cameras and video cameras and are waiting to interview the protagonist of this time-Chen Xingli.

But Chen Xingqi couldn't find it.

"Damn, we are all set off, this kid is gone!" Captain Huang Hai scolded.

"Call him, captain!"

"I'll call." Someone took out his phone and waited for a while before the call was connected.

A lazy voice of Chen Xing sounded inside: "Hello ..."

"Chen Xingqi, where are you going again!" Captain Huang Hai grabbed the phone and shouted. "Other reporters are waiting for you! Come here! We will go to the high-speed rail station after the interview!"

"Come here ..." The voice in the handset became clearer and clearer, and finally appeared behind Huang Hai ...

"Eh, everyone is here? You are too slow!"

As soon as Huang Hai turned his head, he saw Chen Xingli standing in the door of the bus behind him, holding the mobile phone in his hand and holding it to his ear, and pointed at everyone with full of air.

"Why are you inside?" Huang Hai asked in surprise.

"I've been here for a long time. I didn't see you, so I went up and squinted for a while ..." Chen Xingqi put away his phone, jumped out of the car, and walked towards the reporter: "I'll accept Interview, please get on the bus. Really, you have to participate in the national competition, one by one is not active at all ... "

Seeing him like this, Huang Hai shook his head helplessly.

After Chen Xingqi stood still in front of the camera, the reporter threw a question to him: "Classmate Chen Xingqi, what are the specific goals for participating in the national competition this time?"

"Of course it is the champion!" Chen Xingli said, "Oh, and I also want the best shooter."

He was very determined, but everyone present felt that he was bragging.

Because the best shooter of the last competition is this kind of self-confidence, it should also be such self-confidence.

"This year's national competition will be linked with professional football ... It is said that players with outstanding performance can be favored by professional clubs and may become professional players. Will you choose to become a professional player?"

This question does not need to be considered by many football teenagers, and their answers can be blurted out immediately after being asked by reporters.

But Chen Xingqi tilted his head and thought about it, then frowned and said, "I don't know ..."

The reporter was a little surprised: "Don't you want to be a professional player?"

"It's not that I don't want to ..." Chen Xingqi frowned, and wanted to explain to the reporter, but he didn't seem to know what to say, so he sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, let's talk later."

"Ah?" The reporter was a bit dumbfounded, could it still be like this? Can this chance of becoming a professional player be so casually determined?

Seeing the reporter like this, Chen Xingli straightened his body slightly, cleared his throat, and replaced it with a very serious tone: "I don't consider this issue before helping the team defend the national championship. At present, I will wholeheartedly prepare for the national competition. . "

After that, he asked again, "Is this all right?"

The reporter nodded dumbly.

After Chen Xingwei finished the interview, he waved to the reporters and then hopped on the bus.

The school leaders stood under the car and waved goodbye to the bus that slowly closed the doors.

Chen Xingwei crossed the front seats all the way, playing with his teammates along the way. The sealed windows kept people outside from hearing the sound inside, but from the excited smiles and exaggerated body movements of the children's faces, it was still possible to imagine what a happy scene there was.

"It's really enviable ..." Outside the car, the reporter who was responsible for interviewing Chen Xingqi murmured, "National competition, teammates, dreams ... Why can't I have such youth in my middle school!"

The cameraman is still working, and he keeps aiming the lens inside the car window. In his lens, Chen Xingqi finally walked back to the last row. Instead of sitting down, he lay on the seat back and waved at the camera lens.

After taking this shot ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ He put the camera down from his shoulders: "Before she puts it, students like Chen Xingqi may only become an ordinary student, maybe not very flattering. But Now ... I heard that he already has fan talk on the Internet, almost star treatment. "

"These children, they have caught up with a good era ..."

On this day, 22 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, and 3 municipalities (Note 1) all over the country have trains or planes departing from stations and airports, and there is only one destination-the political and cultural center of this country, the provincial level Administrative districts, municipalities directly under the Central Government, national central cities, megacities ... the capital.

These trains and planes are different from other trains and planes to the capital. They carry a group of teenagers full of dreams and longings.

They all wore the uniforms of their respective school teams, showed their identities to the world, and told everyone who set their sights on them: We are football players going to participate in national competitions!

Some people gave them thumbs up, some people took out their phones to take pictures, and some people loudly encouraged them to win glory for their hometown.

Football is no longer just a game of self-entertainment, but also carries the hope of more people. Every teenager will know that they are not fighting alone.

Will this be the pressure they bear?

No, because they like the feeling of being expected to fight.
