Chapter 186: a little lonely

"Hu Lai, let me tell you, when I found out that you were not replaced, I knew it was going to be bad!"
In the restaurant at night, Zhang Qinghuan said this to Hu Lai, who was sitting opposite him.
Hu Lai laughed and was very happy.
Nearly three hours have passed since the end of the afternoon game, but Zhang Qinghuan, who did not take all three points, is still indignant. .
"Whether it is from the state of the players or the tactical arrangement, we should have won. Because of your kick in front of the goal, three points became one point! Cooked ducks can fly, really... Qingqing is here, so I won't swear!"
Li Qingqing, who was sitting beside Hu Lai, also had a smile on his face.
It was a meal they had agreed to before the game.
However, the mood of the two parties was completely different.
The two also dined together last time Hulay visited Barcelona and helped the Pirates of Madrid beat Sarria.
Although he lost the game at that time, Zhang Qinghuan's mood during dinner was not at all like he is now.
Mainly because the Pirates of Madrid showed complete dominance from the very beginning, and it was really difficult for Saria to win. So losing is normal.
But today is completely different.
It is really possible for Saria to win this game, just because of Hu Lai’s goal, the chickens were flying and the victory became a draw.
Even if they return undefeated, it is a good result for Saria, but Zhang Qinghuan is still worried.
On the contrary, a draw did not allow the Madrid Pirates to regain the lead in the standings, and Hu Lai can still laugh now.
Because a draw is better than a loss.
A point behind the King of Madrid is really not good.
But the competition between the three teams is so fierce that it is really difficult to guarantee that the Madrid Pirates can always maintain a one-point lead to end the league.
After all, the lead is too small, and it may be overtaken by the opponent at any time.
Just like in a marathon, it is very tiring to always be the front runner, and the huge psychological burden will bring more physical consumption than normal.
We all know that in the race for the league title, it is normal to go up and down. Rather than being annoyed at the game that has been unable to change the result, it is better to quickly adjust your mentality and meet the challenges that follow.
For now, let the first place in the league to the King of Madrid, and then they will regain it.
The entire Madrid Pirates team believes they have this opportunity.
Because now the pressure on the frontrunner falls on the King of Madrid.
Zhang Qinghuan sighed again: "We really have hope of winning! Before the game, Casas told us that you would definitely put Kyrie on the bench, but he told us not to worry about Kyrie, because Kyrie played. There will be no performance after that, and he really made it! Sigh!"
Hu Lai was also helpless: "No one thought that Carey really pulled his hips. He was not like this in training at all."
Li Qingqing said next to him: "Consecutive serious injuries have a great psychological impact on players. Not to mention that Kyrie is 33 years old. At this age, he will care more about the impact of injuries."
"Will Carey sink into this completely?" Hu Lai turned his head and asked her.
Li Qingqing shook his head: "I can't say, it depends on whether he can get out of the psychological shadow. But even if he can get out, it is definitely not something that can be done in the short term. And what's even worse, this game Saria Give your next opponents a proper demonstration of 'how to freeze Kyrie'. Other teams will surely follow..."
Hu Lai looked at Zhang Qinghuan: "Damn, listening to you, our next game will definitely be difficult to play... Why do I think Brother Huan should invite you for this meal today?"
"It's none of my business! I suggest you go to Carey for reimbursement after the meal, he is the culprit!" Zhang Qinghuan wanted to be rude, but the words came to his lips, thinking that Li Qingqing was present, he could only forcefully Hold back.
"What's your bad idea? You think I'll go to Carey for reimbursement, can he take care of me?"
"Then do you think I'll take care of you?"
Seeing two people bickering, Li Qingqing covered her mouth and laughed happily beside her.

Sophia knocked gently on the study door, and her husband's voice sounded behind the door:
"Leave me alone, Sophia. Leave me alone for a while."
"..." Sophia said after being silent for a few seconds, "Okay, you can call me if you need anything."
"Go to sleep, Sophia. I can handle it myself."
This time his wife didn't agree to him, but just left - it should have left, because Carey in the house heard his wife's footsteps drifting away.
When the footsteps were no longer heard, the study returned to silence.
Carey was in the silence, sitting in a chair, looking out the window at the night sky.
He seemed to be back in that afternoon game again.
Seeing Hu Lai's goal, the other Madrid Pirates rushed up, wanting to celebrate the goal frantically.
However, Hu Lai, who scored the goal, got up from the ground and got into the goal. Before Saria goalkeeper Bahon could react, he grabbed the football and ran to the middle circle.
Time was running out and they had to score another goal to win the game.
His teammates followed him and ran back. They put their arms around his shoulders and patted his head...
Carey stood in the distance, watching this scene from afar, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind-he was no longer the one who could lead this team forward.
Although in the end the Madrid Pirates could not score another goal in the remaining minutes to win the game.
But Hu Lai's goal allowed them to avoid the embarrassing result of their home defeat.
Until now, Carey can think of that scene.
In fact, this is not the first time he has seen this scene.
It's just that he didn't have this kind of thinking before, because he always thought that when he returned from injury, the treatment of the stars and the moon should be his own.
He will take back everything that belongs to him, of course, including the status of the core of the team.
But today's game shattered all his pride and fantasies.
Carey also knows that at this moment, on various news and the Internet, I don’t know how many people are criticizing and laughing at him.
He acted like a coward and a clown in this game.
The "Flying Dutchman" lost speed, could no longer fly, and is no longer the one-of-a-kind "MAX".
So what does he have left?
※※※
After dinner, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing bid farewell to Zhang Qinghuan at the entrance of the restaurant.
"You have to rush back so late, don't you leave for one night? Anyway, you won't train tomorrow morning." Hu Lai said.
"I'm going back now. Even if I'm a little tired on the road, I can still go home to rest and sleep. I don't have to run around on the road tomorrow morning. The effect of training in the afternoon will be better." Zhang Qinghuan shook his head.
"Okay. Speaking of which, Zhongxing Xingxing is coming to the away game next week. I plan to have dinner with him. Do you still want to come?"
Zhang Qinghuan was a little moved, but he shook his head and rejected the proposal: "We also have Europa League games."
"Oh yes. I've always forgotten about this. Oops, Brother Huan is also a player who has played in Europe..."
"Hu Lai, do you underestimate me?"
"No!" Hu Lai waved his hands again and again, but the smile on his face betrayed and exposed his true thoughts. "I didn't underestimate Brother Huan, I really didn't, I promise I never underestimated you!"
"You don't have to stress this thing over and over again..."
Seeing Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan bickering here, Li Qingqing watched with a smile while standing beside Hu Lai.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Qinghuan couldn't help shaking his head again: "Seeing the two of you together, I still feel very magical..."
"Why? Do you think I'm unworthy?"
"Match, match, match. I have keys here, how many do you have, Hu Lai?"
"Hehe, you are jealous, Brother Huan."
"I'm jealous of wool, Hu Lai, let me tell you, when you're still playing with mud, I've played with it!"
"I don't believe it, can you tell me in detail?"
"Hehe, paid content can't be talked about..."
"Hey!" Hu Lai snorted.
Zhang Qinghuan sighed: "Flowers are stuck on the cow dung!"
"What's wrong with cow dung? Cow dung is rich in nutrients, so it can better nourish delicate flowers!" Hu Lai raised his chest and looked like "I am cow dung and I am proud, and I provide nutrients for flowers".
Zhang Qing smiled happily: "Okay. When will you drink your wedding wine?"
Hu Lai was stunned, and Li Qingqing's face turned slightly red.
Seeing their reaction, Zhang Qinghuan was a little surprised: "No, haven't you two considered this issue?"
Hu Lai prevaricates: "We are still young..."
"What does this have to do with being young?" Zhang Qinghuan wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly remembered that he was not their parents, why did he urge marriage?
Thinking of this, he shook his head:
"Forget it, you can get married anytime you want. But then you must invite me."
"That's for sure, that's for sure!" Hu Lai hurriedly agreed with a smile. "If you forget anyone, you can't forget you, Brother Huan!"
When Zhang Qinghuan saw the car he called coming, he waved to the two of them: "Okay, my car is here, I'll go back first."
"Brother Huan, be careful on the road." Li Qingqing waved at him gently.
"Brother Huan, walk slowly. Next time we go to Barcelona to play Catalan United and make an appointment."
Zhang Qinghuan shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't make an appointment."
"how?"
"We were coming to Madrid to play the King that day, and I was not in Barcelona."
Only then did Hu Lai react: "Ah, yes..."
"See you back home." Zhang Qinghuan waved his hand, turned around and got into the car.
Sitting in the car, through the rearview mirror, Zhang Qinghuan could still see Hu Lai and Li Qingqing standing on the side of the road, watching him leave.
Although his mouth was teasing Hu Lai as unworthy, seeing this scene, Zhang Qinghuan still felt very natural.
As if the two of them should be standing side by side like this.
He didn't know how many stories there were between Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, and why Hu Lai never told them.
But seeing the two of them standing side by side so naturally, Zhang Qinghuan, a veteran in love, is naturally very aware of the tacit understanding between the two, which is far from being comparable to others.
It's a natural couple.
Zhang Qinghuan, who saw this scene from a distance in the rearview mirror, suddenly felt a different kind of emotion in his heart.
It's kind of...well, lonely.

After watching Brother Huan's car merge into the traffic, Hu Lai said to Li Qingqing, "Let's go home too?"
"Yeah." Li Qingqing nodded, but stood still and turned to ask Hu Lai, "Are we going to get married?"
"Of course."
"Marriage...it always feels so far away from us." Li Qingqing sighed softly.
"So don't worry. Are you in a hurry?" Hu Lai asked.
Li Qingqing shook his head: "That's not true. I really haven't thought about getting married... I think it's fine for us now."
"But you still want to get married, right?"
"Of course~EbookFREE.me~ is going to get married."
Wen Yan Hu Lai patted his heart and looked like he was taking a breath: "It's okay, it's okay. It scared me to death, I thought you didn't want to marry me. Let me tell you, everything is not for the purpose of marriage. Relationships are all hooligans, so don't play hooligans!"
Li Qingqing saw that he didn't slip away, so he raised his hand and patted him: "I hate it, what are you talking about!"
But her hand was caught by Hu Lai.
"Go, come home with me!"
Hu Lai clenched Li Qingqing's hand tightly, as if afraid that she would run away.
Li Qingqing didn't struggle either, but let Hu Lai hold her hand obediently.
The two walked hand in hand in the direction of home.
