Fox in the Penalty Area

Seeing her son standing in front of her like a mud monkey, Xie Lan became furious. She raised her arm, but the slap was not slapped in the end, and she just sighed heavily: "You look like this!" If your dad sees it, he won't be able to run away with a beating!"

"I fell while riding a bicycle!" Hu Lai argued. "Obviously I am a victim, why am I being beaten?"

"Cheat a ghost! Do you think your dad will believe your nonsense? Go take a shower quickly, take off your clothes and don't throw them in the washing machine. I'll scrub the mud off for you first... Can't you let me save myself?" After finishing speaking, Xie Lan turned and walked to the kitchen - the pot was still cooking.

Behind her, Hu Lai asked, "Mom, did my dad not let me play football because he knew I didn't have the talent?"

The figure of Xie Lan walking towards the kitchen paused for a moment. "What nonsense?"

"That's right, my dad obviously didn't let me play football because he hated football." After speaking, Hu Lai turned to the toilet.

Xie Lan looked back at his son's back and sighed softly.

Under an orange light, there is a small square table with two dishes and a pot of soup, both meat and vegetables, but the portion is not much.

"Qingqing, how do you feel on your first day at school? How are you getting along with your classmates?" Li Ziqiang asked his daughter opposite, holding his job bowl.

But the daughter did not respond.

"Qingqing?"

Li Ziqiang looked up at his daughter, and found that her eyes were out of focus, obviously distracted.

He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his daughter's eyes, and the daughter's eyes regained focus.

"What are you thinking?"

"Ah, it's nothing. The classmates are very friendly to me...By the way, Dad, there is a guy in our class who plays very well. He should be selected for the school team, right?"

"You mean Luo Kai?" Li Ziqiang nodded. "I've heard. If there are no accidents, he should be selected. He is the strongest freshman in high school."

Li Qingqing thought of Hu Lai again, that person actually wanted to join the school team... The two of them are clearly different, one in the sky and the other in the ground.

I said that only to let him give up the unnecessary struggle earlier,

After all, instead of being rejected by the school team in full view, it would be better to give up now, right?

When Li Qingqing was thinking this way, the figure from the back under the setting sun came into her mind again.

In the cramped bathroom, Hu Lai bowed his head and stood under the faucet, letting the hot water wash over the back of his neck.

Li Qingqing's words still echoed in his ears:

"You can't even play the football game in the physical education class of the class, and you still want to participate in the school team to play the game between schools?"

"You are not suitable for playing football. If you have poor coordination, you will not be able to play well."

So dare I practice for nothing?

My body is not suitable for playing football?

Are those people justified in mocking me?

Should I actually eat chicken with Fatty Song?

I'll eat his grandma's mouth!

When Hu Lai thought of Luo Kai's defiant appearance and how proud his number one dog-leg Li Zhiqun would be then, he couldn't let go of his breath, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Just because of a few words from others, do you have to deny your hard work and dreams all the time?

I don't believe in evil!

"Hu Lai! How long do you have to take a bath! Do you still want to eat?!"

Mom's growling sounded from outside the bathroom.

"Come on, come on!" Hu Lai put his head into the water, stretched out his hand and rubbed it a few times, and then hastily turned off the water.

After taking a shower, Li Qingqing sat in front of the desk, which was next to the window, and she could see the open space where she and Hu Lai played football in the afternoon with a little probe.

It was pitch black there now, but Li Qingqing still looked through the darkness, staring at a place where Hu Lai's football was hidden.

That person...would he give up?

Should have given up, right?

In fact, it’s good to give up. I like football, just play and play. Why do I have to join the school team? How many people can join the school team? So many people who didn't join the school team don't deserve to like football? As long as you really like football, does it matter where you play?

Although poor coordination can be improved through training, it is only a month away from the selection for the school team. With that boy's foundation, how can it be so easy to improve?

Moreover, the golden age of coordination training is eight to thirteen years old, and even if it can be improved through training, the effect is very limited.

※※※

Hu Lai is sitting on the chair in front of the desk. From behind, he can only see the back of a serious study, and he can never see his small movements in front. ?”

His brain has already reacted.

He admits that his coordination is not good, and he also has the problems pointed out by the girl.

But can't coordination be trained?

I have improved my coordination through training, but I can play football differently. Can I join the school team?

The only trouble is that he only has one month left, and he has to practice his coordination in this month to the point where he can participate in the school team selection.

Hu Lai frowned as he stared at the coordination training methods on the phone screen.

No matter which method is used, it shows that coordination training is long-term and cannot be effective in a short period of time. In normal football youth training, coordination training is dedicated to 20 minutes in each training session, and people have been doing this kind of training since they were very young. Is it too late for me to become a monk halfway?

No matter how you look at it, it seems impossible to do it before the school team selection...

So give up?

Hu Lai shook his head, he will not give up, he will try his best in this month, and then try harder.

He believes that hard work pays off.

At this moment, there was a sudden ding-dong in Hu Lai's mind.

An emotionless voice sounded close: "Do you want to play football?"

Hu Lai was so frightened that he sat up straight on the chair: "Dad? You came back so early?"

No one answered him, only the emotionless voice repeated: "Do you want to play football?"

It was only then that Hu Lai realized that the voice might not come from his father, at least no matter how serious his father was, it would not be this voice...

So he secretly turned his head and glanced back. The door of the room was closed without any gaps.

He looked around the corners of the room again, and there was no one in the small room except himself.

The emotionless voice sounded again: "Do you want to play football?"

Only then did Hu Lai realize that the voice didn't seem to be coming from behind him or from any other direction, but appeared directly in his mind.

This is... the system?

Hu Lai, who usually reads online novels, immediately had such an idea.

Just when he was still thinking wildly, the voice in his head sounded again: "No response, quit in five seconds, five, four..."

Hu Lai was shocked: What kind of system is this? !

At this time, he didn't even bother to think about what kind of system this is and why it appeared in his mind, and nodded quickly: "Think about it! Think about it! I miss me so much! Coach, I want to play football." what!"

Just after Hu Lai responded, there was another "ding dong" in his mind, and then the emotionless voice sounded again: "Mission: Be the most beautiful boy in front of the teachers and students of the school. Mission reward: Novice gift bag."

Almost at the same time, Hu Lai found that a picture was generated in his mind. The text of the task was displayed in the picture, and the reward of the task could also be seen - a treasure chest was floating in the air with a shining golden light.

"Damn it, it's really a system!"

After being stunned by this scene, Hu Lai exclaimed.

"What kind of system is this..."

As soon as his question came to mind, the screen flickered for a moment, and a few large characters appeared in front of his eyes: dream football world.

Hu Lai finally understood where the game that disappeared after flashing back that day went...

Dare to become a system!

Looking at these shining big characters, Hu Lai rubbed his hands excitedly.

I didn't expect playing a game to become a reality, this is awesome!

He accepted the existence of the system almost effortlessly, and he didn't mind an emotionless voice in his head at all.

After all, the whole world has been traversed, so what is it if there is one more system in the mind?
