Chapter 210: The Vast World
Xie Lan saw the back of his son reading at the desk through the crack in the hidden door.
Her gaze struggled.
In the end, she didn't push the door in, but quietly retreated.
She wanted to have a good talk with her son.
But she didn't know how to open it now.
After the father and son quarreled last night, the atmosphere in the house became very strange.
When she came back from school today, she tried to speak several times at the dinner table, but she couldn't say it when the words came to her lips.
As for the son, he remained silent the whole time, did not speak, and kept silent about her, a former ally.
She was worried that her son was completely closed.

How could Hulai, who pretended to be reading a book, not know what was going on behind the scenes? Mom thought he wasn't aware, but the sound of unsteady breathing had betrayed her...... Compared with Dad, Mom's Taoism is still a little less......

After his mother left, Hulay got up and brought his bag to the desk, and he began to pull out all the books and utensils in the bag, and stuffed them into the drawer under the bookcase.
After emptying his bag, he glanced at the door, walked up and closed it gently, and locked it from the inside.
Then he turned around and went to the closet, took out a few pieces of clothing from it, wrapped them in a ball, and stuffed them into his school bag.
Finally, his eyes fell on the soccer ball he had placed on the ground.
After getting it back from the secret base, he let off all his gas, and now the ball is deflated into a crescent moon and huddled together.
He found a plastic bag, put the soccer ball in it, tied it carefully, and stuffed it into his school bag.
Packing his bag, he looked around the cramped bedroom, which had been his home for as long as he could remember, where he had grown up, where there were happy memories, but also painful.
He used to hide a lot of football magazines under the bed, but his father searched them all out and threw them away.
He remembered that he was crying in the dark at that time, and his heart was extremely aggrieved.
Why is it that other people's children can play football, when I can't even read a football magazine?
Now he knows why.
But that doesn't mean he approves of his father's ideas and practices.
He has his own ideas and persistence, and no matter whether this road goes through or not, he will definitely go to it.
If playing professional football is a gamble.
Isn't going to university also a gamble?
Thousands of troops and single-plank bridges. What if I'm the unlucky guy who got squeezed off the bridge?
I have a [lover's red rope] on the court that can increase my luck, but this bracelet can't be used in my study and life off the field......
Just because I give up football doesn't mean I'm going to succeed on this path that everyone is taking.
Since none of them will be successful, why not choose the path that I like and have the help of the system?
He can't explain to his parents that he has cheats, so let himself prove it to them with practical actions.

When Song Jiajia saw Hu Lai again in the classroom, her eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "Didn't you sign a contract with that Poseidon Club?" Why do you still come to school? Enjoy the thrill of being in the limelight? β
"I can't bear you, fat man......" Hu Lai smiled and leaned up and hugged Song Jiajia's shoulders.
"Get out!" Song Jiajia blocked Hu Lai's face with a fleshy palm and pushed him away.
"I can't bear you, fatty. Don't look at me everywhere I go now, people know about me, but you're the only real friend I have. I'm not coming back, of course, I'm going to come back to see you before I leave. β
Song Jiajia saw that Hu Lai said sincerely, but he became more and more vigilant, and he stared at the other party suspiciously: "What do you want to do?" β
"Ahem...... That, can you lend me some money, fatty? Hulai said with some embarrassment.
"Borrowing money? What happened to you? β
"My dad won't let me play professional football, I ran away from home......" At this point, Hu Lai opened his schoolbag and showed Song Jiajia the clothes inside. I'm going to Lingnan City now, but I don't have the money to buy a plane ticket. I know you as a rich man, and I can only borrow money from you......"
Before Hu Lai finished speaking, Song Jiajia picked up his mobile phone: "Can I transfer your WeChat directly?" β
"Huh? Yes, you can! Hulai nodded hurriedly.
Song Jiajia buried his head in the operation, and Hu Lai soon received a WeChat message reminding him to receive, and when he opened it, his eyes almost didn't pop out.
"Five...... Fifty thousand?! After counting the exact zeros, his voice trembled.
"Ah, the maximum daily limit for a single WeChat transfer is 50,000, and there is really no way to ......" Song Jiajia explained to him a little apologetically.
"It's not...... Too much, right? Hulai pointed to a string of zeros on the screen of his phone. I'll just buy a plane ticket......"
"Buying a ticket? Do you have to buy a high-speed rail ticket to Jincheng from here? Do you want to take a taxi from school to the high-speed rail station? Do you want to take a taxi from Jincheng High-speed Railway Station to Jincheng Airport? Isn't it all money? Also, how long can you wear these clothes? Where are you going to stay over there? What to eat? Food, clothing, housing and transportation, don't you have to use money? You take 50,000 first, if you don't think it's enough, I'll transfer it to you tomorrow when my limit is restored......" Song Jiajia snapped her fingers and gave him an account.
Hu Lai waved his hand again and again: "Don't don't, enough is enough, I'm just looking for you to borrow money, how can I pay it back if I borrow so much?" β
Song Jiajia smiled: "You kid is about to become a big star, and you can't make 50,000 yuan?" β
"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet......"
"Then I don't want you to pay it back!" Song Jiajia waved her hand.
"Boss atmosphere!" Hulai gave a thumbs up.
Song Jiajia took his mobile phone: "Don't talk about this yet, I'll help you book the ticket, and I'll see when the flight is...... How about this? I took off at 6:45 p.m., and it was 9:10 p.m. when I got there. This time is relatively generous, you can now take the high-speed train from Dongchuan to Jincheng, and then from Jincheng East Station to the airport, it is completely too late......"
Hu Lai just nodded: "Yes, you can do it, boss, you have the final say......"
After some operations, Song Jiajia filled in all the information for Hu Lai, and returned the mobile phone to him: "You can just pay by yourself." After paying, you will go directly to the train station, and you will have time to sell high-speed rail tickets on the road, there is a bus from Dongchuan to Jincheng every half an hour, and there are many tickets......"
Hu Lai took the phone and paid according to Song Jiajia's instructions, but he was still a little hesitant to leave immediately.
"What? Are you still reluctant? Song Jiajia snorted when she saw him like that.
"No, I really won't come back if I leave this time."
"Yes, is it possible that you still want to return home?"
"What words!"
"Get out, the school will be closed in a while, I'll see how you go!" Song Jiajia pushed him to the same table.
Hearing him say this, Hu Lai didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly picked up his schoolbag and ran out of the classroom.
His actions attracted the attention of the rest of the class, and one of them asked loudly, "Hulai, why are you going?" It's time for class......"
"Go kick!" Hulai's voice drifted through the hallway.
A group of people looked at each other, everyone knew that Hulai was going to play professional football, but they didn't expect that day to come so soon...... Didn't even have time for a decent goodbye.
Many students rushed out of the classroom, but they could only see Hulai's back dangling at the top of the stairs and then disappearing.
Soon, they saw the figure again in the campus downstairs.
When everyone walked into the campus from outside the campus and walked briskly towards the teaching building where their respective classes were located, for fear of being late, this retrograde figure was very eye-catching.
The students of the second class of high school just stood in the corridor, through the glass curtain wall, watching the figure go upstream, running out of the school gate, and running towards the wider world.

Hu Lixin sat in the small room at the door, just after seven o'clock in the evening, the owners got off work at the end of the rush hour, but the peak of going out for a walk after dinner arrived, his colleagues were standing guard outside, he was resting inside, drinking saliva, and by the way, his right shoulder, which was a little sore because of the frequent raising of salutes.
At this moment, a colleague called him outside: "Lao Hu, someone is looking for you......"
He looked up and followed the voice, and was surprised to find his wife standing outside.
"Why are you here?" He walked out the door, but Xie Lan didn't say a word when he saw him, turned and left.
Hu Lixin was caught off guard, so he could only turn around and explain to his colleagues: "You help me take a look at ......"
After saying that, he chased after him.
The two men walked until they walked to a secluded place on the sidewalk where there was no one before stopping.
Then Xie Lan turned to look at her husband expressionlessly and said, "My son ran away from home. β
"Huh?" Hu Lixin was very surprised, and he didn't react at once.
Xie Lan handed the phone to her husband: "Look at this. β
Hu Lixin took the phone suspiciously and found that it was the WeChat chat record of his wife and son Hu Lai, or a passage sent by his son to his mother through WeChat:
"Mom, I thought about it all day, and I decided to do it. Since my father didn't approve of me going, I had to say goodbye without saying goodbye. If the road is not passed, my dad said that it doesn't count, and I have to walk it myself. Don't worry, even if I really fail, I won't regret it, and I won't blame anyone, after all, the path I chose by myself will be completed on my knees, ha! I forget who said it, saying that there is only one true heroism in this world, and that is to know the truth of life and still love it. Maybe Dad was right when he said that professional football is cruel, but who told me to really like football? Now I know the truth about professional football, but I still love it. Mom, I'm really not a student of study, I'm sorry for wasting the 350,000 yuan you borrowed, but I promise you that I will try my best to make money for you to pay back, and your son will definitely become a big star, will definitely make a lot of money, and will definitely let you move out of this small house now. Oh, by the way, you don't have to worry about my life over there, the club over there has everything in charge. The plane is about to take off, that's it, goodbye. β
After reading Hu Lai's words, Hu Lixin was stunned for a few seconds and then hummed: "What 'real heroism'...... Immature! Naive! Ridiculous......"
"A sophomore in high school, not even eighteen years old, isn't it naΓ―ve? Not naΓ―ve? Xie Lan said in a cold tone.
"What do you mean by that?" Hu Lixin looked at his wife with some surprise, feeling that his wife's state was not quite right.
"Hu Lixin, I'm 100% sure now that this is your Hu family's species!" Xie Lan scoffed. "Didn't you just say goodbye to your father, run away from home, and run out to pursue your professional football ideals despite your father's opposition? This kind of rebellion is engraved in the genes of your Hu family! Why, you old man can do it, but my son can't do it? β
"Why are you telling me this? You are crazy? Listening to these nonsense words from his wife, Hu Lixin was a little annoyed.
"I'm not crazy! I'm so calm now! All I know is that my son didn't say a word to me, and he just left! I didn't have a penny on me, and I only took a few clothes! Gone alone! Xie Lan suddenly erupted and yelled at her husband in some hysterical terms. I knew it was like this! Why should I be on your side? Why don't I help my son? At the very least, I can get him enough money to help him pack his luggage, let him bring more clothes, and then send him to Jincheng for a flight! It's not like this now, when I get home from work, I get such a cold WeChat! I didn't even have time to hug him, and he left home! β
Although the area where they stand is relatively dark, people who walk here rarely go here.
But Xie Lan's high-pitched voice still attracted the surprised and puzzled eyes of the occasional passer-by.
Hu Lixin lowered his voice and complained to his wife: "What are you doing......
"What am I doing? I'm asking for a son! Xie Lan sneered. Do you think he'll be back after three or five months? I'll tell you, just because of your opposition, he won't come back if he doesn't do it now...... I won't be back for three years or two! β
"How can there be such an exaggeration......"
"Exaggerated? Hu Lixin, you touched your conscience and said, after running away from home, how long did it take for you to go home for the first time? How many times have you been back now? Before your parents died, they kept thinking about letting you go back, saying that they didn't care about what happened back then...... And what about you? You die to save face, you ......"
Hearing that his wife had brought out his dead parents, Hu Lixin also broke out, he rudely interrupted his wife's words, gritted his teeth and said, "That's it!" That's why I don't want him to play! That's a big fire kang! I was burned to this cock when I fucking crawled out of the fire pit, why should I watch my son jump into the fire pit again?! I didn't let him touch football since he was a child, I just wanted him to get as far away from football as possible! I hope football doesn't come out of his life for the rest of his life! Look at me like this, don't you know what happened to him! β
Xie Lan looked directly at her husband and said, "Hu Lixin, when we first met, were you a big star?" Do you have a lot of money? Have I ever hated you? I don't even dislike you, why do I dislike my son? Even if he crawls out of the fire pit covered in bruises, even if he is like you...... So what? I'll raise him! He is my son, I raise him! I don't care if he succeeds or not, I don't care if he has money or not, I don't care if he is out of business, I just don't dare to come back to see me until I die, I just need to be by my side when I think of him, or I think of him to find him, he doesn't hide from me......"
As he spoke, two lines of tears welled up from Xie Lan's eyes and ran down his cheeks.
Xie Lan stopped talking, she snatched the phone from her husband's hand, walked past him, and walked straight to the bus stop in the distance.
Hu Lixin opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, just stood in place, looked back at his wife's back, saw her raise her hand to wipe her tears, and changed her hand to continue wiping, the tears seemed to be unstoppable, just went farther and farther......

When Hu Lai appeared at the exit with a bag on his back, he saw Zhao Kangming who came to pick him up at a glance, and when he left, the other party said that he would come to pick him up, but he thought it was just polite words. After all, he is the head of youth training, responsible for the affairs of all youth training teams, and he is so busy with work, how can he come to pick up such a student player as himself?
Unexpectedly, the other party really came, which made Hu Lai quite moved, and his anxiety about the future on the plane suddenly alleviated a lot.
He hurriedly waved his hand to Director Zhao, so that the other party could see him in the crowd out of the station.
"Why are you alone?" After Zhao Kangming received Hu Lai, he looked left and right behind him, a little surprised.
"Ah, my mom said I'm so old, it's no problem to fly alone, she and my dad are busy with work, so let me come by myself."
After Zhao Kangming looked Hu Lai up and down, he asked, "You came here with a bag?" β
"yes, my mom said that instead of bothering to bring clothes, you should buy them here...... Hulai explained.
Zhao Kangming smiled: "Your mother is so free-spirited!" That's right, you can buy anything directly here, and the club has prepared something for you. At that time, you will live in the dormitory building of our youth training base, and you will not need any rent. It's just that you have to get used to the diet here...... Of course, athletes have a special diet that may require you to get used to more than the flavorful snacks here. β
"I'm fine, Director Zhao. I'm here to become a professional footballer. I told my parents that if I don't mix well, I won't go back! β
Zhao Kangming hurriedly waved his hand: "No need to be so scary, no need, no need to ......"
Hu Lai said very seriously: "Coach Zhao, giving up the college entrance examination to play professional football is a gamble with no back road for me, and I don't plan to recognize the reality after a few years, and then leave in disgrace." β
Zhao Kangming was also infected by Hu Lai's determination, he put away his smile and said to him solemnly: "Don't worry, as long as you kid train hard, don't cheat and slip, don't get injured if you're lucky, and cash in on your talent, there will definitely be a place for you in this professional football." β
Then he patted Hulai on the back: "Let's go, the car is waiting outside." Oh, by the way, haven't said it yet...... Lingnan welcomes you, and Poseidon welcomes you. β
He stretched out his hand to Hulai, and the two hands, one large and one small, were clasped together.
