"Ah, Madrid, we're back again!"

"It feels like I'm dreaming..."

“The sunshine in Madrid is so nice!”

Sitting on the bus, the players of the Chinese Olympic team looked at the street view of Madrid outside and said with emotion.

Before the Olympics, they trained in the eastern suburbs of Madrid, and then went to Valencia to participate in the competition.

At that time, many people probably didn't expect that they could really return to Madrid.

Although Director Shi said that their goal is to qualify for the group.

But how many people really believe that they can qualify for the group stage?

Because they are second in the group, their opponent in the quarter-finals is the host Spain.

The host games were all played in Madrid, so they were able to return to Madrid.

And very coincidentally, the opponent of the women's national team in the quarter-finals is also the Spanish women's football team, and they will also return to Madrid to participate in the game.

When the bus stopped outside the hotel where they were staying, the players began to get off one by one.

Hu Lai was left alone by coach Shi Wuyin.

"I received a notice from the regiment in the morning, saying that CCTV wants to invite you to a program tomorrow. Let's see if you want to go."

Hu Lai froze for a moment: "Is it still possible to refuse?"

"Yes, of course you can. But it's best not to refuse." Shi Wuyin said. "Try not to offend the media if you can, especially this kind of national media."

"What program?"

"A talk show called 'I'm an Olympic Star', the atmosphere is relatively relaxed, just sit on the sofa and chat with the host, the time is not long, the whole show may be less than half an hour..." Shi Wuyin will I briefly introduced the situation I knew to Hu Lai.

"But won't this take up training time?" Hu Lai still had doubts.

"Use the lunch break at noon to go, what training will be delayed?"

"Okay then, I'll go." Hu Lai nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Hu Lai agreed, Shi Wuyin said with a smile: "There is one more thing to tell you. Someone from the women's football team also accepted the invitation to participate in this program. You two are together. Guess who it is?"

Who else?

Hu Lai blurted out: "Li Qingqing?"

Shi Wuyin clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Both of you are the great contributors to the team's qualifying from the group stage, so the program team called out your names respectively. When the time comes, give me stability, don't embarrass the men's football team, hear No?"

"Don't worry, Guidance Shi, no one is better than me... I can hold on!" Hu Lai assured, patting his chest.

Li Qingqing sent Director Yan out the door, and when she turned around, she saw Xu Wen smiling at her: "It's on TV, congratulations!"

"Can't we be on TV every week?" Li Qingqing asked her back.

"Hey, how can the broadcast of the game be compared with this kind of talk show?" Xu Wen waved her hand and asked her again: "Director Yan just said that there is someone from the Olympic team on the show with you, do you know who it is? "

Li Qingqing shook her head: "I don't know."

"Guess what?" Xu Wen said with a smile.

"I guess..." Li Qingqing looked up at the ceiling, pretending to think: "I guess, it's Chen Xingyi who scored the first Olympic goal for the men's soccer team?"

"Ahem!" Xu Wen coughed, "Qingqing, you did it on purpose!"

"Isn't the candidate Chen Xingyi very commemorative?" Li Qingqing asked back.

"Of course, but it's not the most suitable candidate. Stop acting, Qingqing, Hu Lai must have told you a long time ago!"

"No..."

As soon as Li Qingqing finished speaking, her mobile phone rang a WeChat message notification tone.

It was Hu Lai who sent it: "That program on CCTV, are you going to the women's football side?"

"Yes. Are you going to the Olympic team?" Li Qingqing replied.

"I was right."

Li Qingqing laughed.

Xu Wen saw Li Qingqing's smile: "Is he going?"

"Ok.

"Li Qingqing nodded.

"Oh, I really want to see it...but I can't see it in Spain!" Xu Wen sighed happily and sadly.

※※※

"Have you heard? It is said that Li Qingqing is on the show with Hu Lai!"

"Damn? Is it true or not?"

"Of course it's true! Think about it, the men's and women's football teams each have one player, but who else is there besides Li Qingqing for the women's football team?"

"Ahh! Envy, jealousy, hate!"

During lunch, the players of the Olympic team were talking about Hu Lai's going on TV while eating.

When Luo Kai heard the key words, he realized what he missed.

The first Olympic goal is not his own, and his first Olympic goal has not yet come.

Now even the opportunity to be on TV with Qingqing is not his own.

Hu Lai performed a hat-trick in the game and helped the Chinese team get the right to qualify for the group stage. This opportunity must belong to him.

But it happened that the ball he completed the hat-trick was passed by Luo Kai...

Once again, I personally pushed him towards Qingqing!

Zeng Chi, who was eating with his head down, suddenly heard a creaking sound coming from the opposite side of him. He raised his head strangely, only to find that Luo Kai, who was sitting opposite him, was cutting steak with a knife. But the problem is that the steak has been cut by him long ago, but his movement has not stopped yet. The creaking sound is made by the friction between the knife and the ceramic plate...

He quickly called out: "Rocky? Rocky?"

Luo Kai came back to his senses: "Huh?"

"What are you doing? Are you planning to chop up the plate and eat it?" Zeng Chi joked.

"Oh...no." Luo Kai hastily concealed himself, inserted the cut steak into his mouth, and then...chewed vigorously.

"Isn't this meat quite tender?" Zeng Chi asked curiously.

"I have tendons." Luo Kai said through gritted teeth.

In the studio of the Madrid News Center rented by CCTV, three minutes before the program started, the host Li Xiaohong was smiling and said to Hu Lai and Li Qingqing who were sitting on the sofa opposite her: "Although this is a live broadcast, but There are no specific program requirements, just chatting, so you two don't need to be nervous, relax, and you can talk freely."

Hu Lai and Li Qingqing looked at each other, Li Qingqing smiled and nodded to Li Xiaohong: "Okay."

Li Xiao looked at Hu Lai again: "How about you, Hu Lai?"

"Fortunately, don't be nervous," Hu Lai said.

Li Xiaohong smiled: "I think so too. Director Shi Wuyin once said that you have a big heart. Then shall we start?"

Li Qingqing and Hu Lai nodded at the same time: "Okay."

After waiting for the signal from the director, Li Xiaohong sat upright, faced the working camera, and said with an intellectual smile:

"Viewers, welcome to the new episode of 'I Am an Olympic Star'. I am your old friend Li Xiaohong. Today is a bit special, because two Olympic athletes were invited to the recording site of our program, namely the Chinese Women's National Li Qingqing, the main player of the football team, and Hu Lai, the main player of the Chinese Olympic team. Come on, say hello to the audience, shall we?"

Li Xiaohong pointed to the camera, and Li Qingqing and Hu Lai waved to the camera lens with the green light and introduced themselves.

"Hi everyone, I'm Li Qingqing."

"Hi everyone, I'm Hu Lai."

Li Xiaohong observed the young couple from the side, and found that they were very calm and generous, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief—the next program will be much easier.

※※※

"Hi everyone, I'm Li Qingqing."

"Hi everyone, I'm Hu Lai."

Xie Lan put down her phone, she just took a photo on the TV screen, it was her son and Li Qingqing in the same frame.

She was very happy, no matter how she looked at her.

"Well, it matches! What a match!" She nodded repeatedly.

She has been looking forward to this show ever since she knew her son was going to be on the show with Li Qingqing. She even set an alarm on her phone and turned on the TV ten minutes in advance to keep watch. Seeing this scene now, she felt great satisfaction.

Hu Lixin didn't pour cold water on her, but also looked at the TV screen, wondering if he had been brainwashed by his wife during this time, and he also felt that these two people sitting side by side were unexpectedly pleasing to the eye...

Li Ziqiang just ordered a bowl of noodles for himself and put it on the coffee table, planning to eat it when it was slightly cooler. At this time, he turned on the TV with the remote control.

After the TV screen turned on, he froze.

His daughter Li Qingqing appeared on the TV screen in a close-up, and at the same time the host's voice came out: "... There have been rumors on the Internet that the two of you have known each other since high school, and today I want to verify it on the spot Take a moment... is it true?"

Li Ziqiang's heart was full of alarms, he had a very bad premonition...

Sure enough, the next moment the camera zoomed out, there was a person sitting next to his daughter. If it wasn't Hu Lai, who was it? !

He stared blankly at the TV screen.

Inside, his precious daughter turned to look at Hu Lai, and they smiled at each other. Then Li Qingqing looked back at the host, smiled and said, "Yes, when I transferred to Dongchuan Middle School, I was in the same class as Hu Lai."

"Wow? It turned out to be a classmate? What a coincidence!" the host exclaimed, and the program was full of effects.

Then she looked at Hu Lai again: "Hu Lai, we know from many reports about you that you didn't have any serious contact with systematic football training before high school. But when you come into contact with football After training, you have shown amazing talent, and now you are doing well in the Olympics. I am curious, what made you change like this?"

Hearing this question, Hu Lai first glanced at Li Qingqing, and at the same time, Li Qingqing also turned to look at him.

The two looked at each other again, and then Hu Lai said, "Then I have to thank Li Qingqing."

He pointed to the girl next to him, the smile on Li Qingqing's face became brighter when he heard that...

Li Ziqiang pressed the sleep button on the TV almost reflexively, the TV went black instantly, Hu Lai's voice and his daughter's smile all disappeared.

The house was eerily quiet for a while.

※※※

"Ah? Why do you want to thank Li Qingqing?" Li Xiaohong continued to stare with surprise.

Hu Lai explained: "It was Li Qingqing who led me into football. She took me to train at the beginning."

"Wow!! Really?!" Li Xiaohong was really shocked, her exclamation was not fake at all. She really didn't expect that the football career of this talented striker in Chinese football was inseparable from Li Qingqing, a talented girl in Chinese football.

After the East Asian Cup last year, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing once had a group photo at the airport. At that time, everyone didn't know that they had known each other for a long time. They thought it was the first time that the golden boys and girls in Chinese football were in the same frame.

But in fact, the football paths of the two geniuses have long been intertwined and have been paralleled to this day...

Li Xiaohong only felt that her scalp was numb, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on her arms instantly!

Li Qingqing nodded to Hu Lai as a witness: "Well, I am his coach!"

The tone is proud.

※※※

"what!"

Xie Lan slapped her thigh first, then pointed at the TV screen and turned to look at her husband next to her: "What did I say before!? The two of them are definitely not just high school classmates!"

Hu Lixin really couldn't say anything to refute this time, he stared at the TV dumbfounded——his wife was really fooled!

On the TV, Hu Lai was still saying to the host: "...Actually, Li Qingqing has always been my role model. Whether it's from high school to professional football, or from a local club to a national team..."

And when he said that, Li Qingqing, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and looked at him intently, with a smile on his face.

As someone who has been there, Hu Lixin can tell that the girl's eyes really don't look like what ordinary high school students should have...

※※※

Li Ziqiang still turned on the TV. He was really worried, worried that that brat Hu Lai would say something he shouldn't say on the show.

The TV screen turned on, and Hu Lai's voice came out: "...I haven't even participated in the World Cup yet, Li Qingqing has already scored goals in the World Cup, which really makes me envious..."

Li Qingqing, who was staring at Hu Lai on the left side of the screen, heard this sentence, a little shy in her bright smile.

The old father watched this scene in a daze.

The noodles were already cold, even lumpy, but he didn't eat a bite.
