Chapter 11: My youth is over

"...Kiss without rest, without breathing air, and without street spectators staying away!"
"...In the light rain, vehicles flew by, people passed by in the street, traffic lights urged, and I and you were the only ones left—"
Luo Kai watched the video sent to him by Chen Xingyi completely.
He saw the two people hug each other in the streets of Frankfurt, letting people pass by.
Then he turned off the video and returned to the WeChat chat interface.
Chen Xingyi sent a new message almost at the same time: "I think this video has a bit of a headline. Both of them are holding umbrellas. No one saw the real kissing. Maybe it was just a hug!"
Then there was another one: "Fuck, you didn't block me?"
Looking at these two messages from Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai took a deep breath and replied: "Why should I blackmail you?"
Chen Xingyi did not answer him this time, but quickly called over the video call.
Luo Kai hesitated, and finally chose voice call.
"what?"
"I said you don't want to think about it..." Chen Xingyi's voice was a little anxious, "The blow is a bit harder, but listen to me, there is nothing we can't get through...Ah!"
"What's the mess in your mind!"
"No, you haven't blackmailed me. Doesn't that explain the problem? You are not behaving normally!"
"Get out! Besides, I really block you!" Luo Kai cursed unceremoniously.
As a result, Chen Xingyi said: "You scold me, Luo Kai, scold me as much as you want. If it makes you feel better!"
Luo Kai was amused by Chen Xingyi, he couldn't help laughing out: "Fuck, you are so cheap, Chen Xingyi!"
Hearing Luo Kai's laughter, Chen Xingyi was a little surprised, and ignored Luo Kai's evaluation of himself. He curiously asked, "You are really nothing?"
"What can I have?"
"Li Qingqing, the goddess in your heart...has been with Hu Lai's dog days!"
"I'm not surprised." Luo Kai said calmly.
Chen Xingyi sighed over there, "What is wrong with your kid!"
"Damn, do you want me to cry to make you satisfied?"
"In this case, shouldn't you cry and shout, "My youth is over"?"
"You don't read Japanese second-second manga! I'll hang up if there is nothing wrong."
Chen Xingyi asked cautiously: "Are you really all right?"
"Hang up!" Luo Kai took a deep breath and ended the voice call with Chen Xingyi.
Then he looked at his phone screen in a daze.
He didn't come back to his senses until the screen gradually dimmed, and after the screen was completely stopped.
Turn on the phone screen again to unlock it.
He clicked on the video sent by Chen Xingyi again.
The singing sounded:
"...Kiss without rest, without breathing air, and without street spectators staying away!"
"...In the light rain, vehicles flew by, people passed by in the street, traffic lights urged, and I and you were the only ones left—"
Chen Xingyi was right. At the end of the video, the umbrella fell and blocked everyone's sight, making it impossible to see what was happening behind the umbrella.
But to say that nothing happened because of this is nothing more than self-deception.
Does Luo Kai need this kind of self-deception?
In fact, what he told Chen Xingyi was the truth.
He was indeed not surprised that Hu Lai and Li Qingqing finally came together.
After all, I still don't have Li Qingqing's contact information, but Hu Lai had the other party's WeChat very early.
For so many years, the two of them have kept in touch. Isn't it a logical thing to choose to come together in the end?
Ten thousand steps back, it is also for this reason that even if Li Qingqing is not with Hu Lai, he will not be with herself.
So contrary to what Chen Xingyi was worried about, when Luo Kai learned the news, instead of anger and unwillingness, what came to his heart was a...relief.
Yes, even Luo Kai himself felt strange.
Why is there a sense of relief?
It seemed that a place was suddenly emptied in my heart, but the burden on my body was also lightened.
He leaned on the chair, raised his hand to his forehead, blocking his eyes.
Actually, the Chen Xingyi said something right, but only that sentence.
My youth is indeed over...

"Ouch, Lao Li, Lao Li!"
The doorman of Dongchuan Middle School saw Li Ziqiang coming in from the outside, so he got up and came out of the doorman's room to greet him enthusiastically.
"What's the matter, Lao Zhang?" Li Ziqiang stopped and looked at him.
"Oh, congratulations, congratulations... Your daughter and Hu Lai are really a match made in heaven! Chinese football's "golden girl and jade girl"! Ha! Good match!" Doorman Lao Zhang gave him a thumbs up.
Li Ziqiang grinned hard, making an expression that might be a smile.
"Haha. I...I have something to do, let's go now..."
He didn't want to stay here more, so he just found an excuse and walked on campus.
"Okay, it's okay, you're busy, you're busy with you! Waiting for the wedding candy!" Lao Zhang, the guard, was still waving at him from behind.
Li Ziqiang walked faster under his feet.
He lowered his head and walked all the way to his office in the stadium.
In this way he felt as if everyone on campus was watching him.
Although he already knew the fact that two people were together from his daughter, he knew it alone, and the people of the whole country knew it, that was two different things...
After all, the people all over the country know that something like this will happen just now:
People who are not familiar with it will come to chat with themselves on this topic.
I have to deal with it ignorantly, and I must never turn the table.
Li Ziqiang walked quickly into his office, locked the door, and sat down.
He finally has a space where he is not disturbed by others, and he can obtain temporary peace.
Just as he just took a breath, the phone rang.
It was his mother-in-law who called.
"Hey, self-improvement, come to home after work tonight. I haven't eaten together for a long time..."
Li Ziqiang quickly agreed, "Okay, mom, no problem. I'll come over after get off work and bring some food..."
"Eh no, no need, nothing, just people come. By the way, you can talk to us about Qingqing and Hu Lai..."
Li Ziqiang, who was holding his mobile phone, was almost frozen.
"Hello? Self-improvement? Is the signal bad? Can you hear it?"
Li Ziqiang said, "Okay, mom, no problem, mom. I'll meet and say..."
After hanging up the phone, he sat in his chair, and his eyes naturally saw the jerseys hanging on the wall.
There are Luo Kai's, Xia Xiaoyu's, and Hu Lai and Li Qingqing's.
A total of four jerseys are hung side by side on the wall of the office, like four flags.
At this time, Li Ziqiang suddenly realized that Hu Lai's jersey was next to his daughter's jersey.
Even the jerseys are together...
The old father was tired.

Song Jiajia called Hu Lai: "You kid, you can kiss in the street, now the public opinion has exploded!"
"Fuck, nowhere can I think of someone taking pictures in such a place!" Hu Lai was aggrieved.
"Okay, as a celebrity, you must have celebrity consciousness. Don't play so exciting outside in the future... Besides, now that everyone is asking about this, shouldn't you give the public an explanation?"
"Open relationship?"
"What do you say?"
"Then chant it publicly, anyway, Qingqing and I have no objection."
"How do you want to be public?" Song Jiajia asked.
"Uh..." Hu Lai was speechless for a while, he really didn't think about how to make it public.
"Okay, just leave it to the company. I remember you and Li Qingqing had some group photos?"
"Well, do you want to use this?"
"Choose one for me, and the company will use your social media accounts to post it."
"Damn, post an official announcement on Weibo?"
"Ah, what else? Are you planning to hold a press conference?"
"Then why let the company come, we can all send it ourselves."
"You want to post it yourself?"
"Of course, this kind of thing must of course be done by yourself?"
"Also." Song Jiajia did not insist, but agreed very readily. "Then I don't care, you can figure it out."
"Yeah. I'll go to discuss with Qingqing first."
"go Go!"

"My God! I apologize for the conservative prejudice against the Chinese before!"
When Lilith sent the video to Li Qingqing, she immediately followed suit.
What she sent to Li Qingqing was the street kissing video that was widely circulated on Douyin, not only on Douyin in China, but also on TikTok abroad that quickly attracted attention.
After all, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing also have good popularity in Europe.
"You guys are great! Nice work, Qingqing! Kissing in the street! Kissing in the street! Oh oh oh! I got goose bumps all over my body just thinking about it! Honestly, I'm not surprised that you and Hu are together , But I really did not expect you and Hu to be so brave!"
Faced with an excited friend, Li Qingqing rolled her eyes with her mobile phone.
She really did not expect that the scene where she and Hu Lai hugged and bid farewell on the streets of Frankfurt would be filmed, and the video was also made and posted on Douyin, which was circulated throughout the Internet...
Fortunately, Hu Lai took the umbrella down a little at the time, otherwise he would be completely seen.
Li Qingqing decided to ignore his excited friend.
Just then she received a WeChat message from Hu Lai: "Fatty asked us to announce it, what do you think?"
"Then the official announcement."
"How to make an official announcement? Fatty said to post on social media."
"Yes, I have no objection, I didn't want to make it too complicated. I knew we had made an official announcement directly at that time, but now it's all over the city..."
"Or just send a picture of us, what do you think? I'll send it again, and you'll send it again." Hu Lai continued to solicit opinions.
"Good!" Li Qingqing gave a straightforward answer.
Hu Lai asked again: "Then the question is, which photo should I choose?"
Li Qingqing originally wanted to blurt out the answer, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly became playful: "You choose one, I choose one, and each will post it separately, how about?"
"Okay." Hu Lai did not refuse.

"The official announcement!"
In the editorial office of Goal.com, someone took the lead in cheering.
Everyone who got the signal pulled out their mobile phones.
I saw that Hu Lai and Li Qingqing posted a Weibo at the same time ~EbookFREE.me~Hu Lai: "Yes, as everyone inferred, I and @李青青 are officially together!"
Below is a selfie photo of him and Li Qingqing.
Li Qingqing: "Thank you for your concern, we are together! @胡莱"
The selected group photo is exactly the same as Hu Lai.
Two young faces were next to each other, almost full of the whole picture.
At first glance, this is a very ordinary group photo. There is nothing special about it except that the faces are closer and it seems to be closer.
However, if you look closely, you will find that there are light spots in the wide-open eyes of the two people in the photo.
It was as if the stars fell into their eyes.
