The next day, Hulai's father and mother went to work, leaving him home alone.

After all, it's not really the Spring Festival, so there is no seven-day holiday.

His mother took a day off and still had to go back to work.

But Hulai didn't plan to stay at home and eat leftovers.

He was going to visit his teammates on his high school team, as well as his varsity head coach, Li Ziqiang.

For this reason, he did not eat at home at noon, but went directly to the school, found a random restaurant on the side street in front of the school, and ate a bowl of noodles.

Even as a professional player, as long as you are not in the middle of the season, the dietary requirements are not so strict. Chinese players, especially those in Jincheng, will also eat hot pot and skewers after the season, which are obviously unhealthy.

As long as you can get rid of the fat you ate this holiday in the pre-season training camp, the manager doesn't care.

Because he was going back to his alma mater to visit his teammates, except for wearing a peaked cap, Hu Lai didn't do any disguise, unlike Zhang Qinghuan, who had to wear sunglasses wherever he went, just pretending.

As a result, as soon as Hu Lai finished settling the bill and walked out of the small restaurant, he was surrounded by a group of people.

These people, all of whom were students wearing Dongchuan Middle School uniforms, both boys and girls, stopped Hu Lai and asked tentatively, "Are you Hu Lai?" ”

"Well, I'm ......," Hulay reacted, recognizing himself.

After the speculation was confirmed by Hulai, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Then everyone rushed up and handed the postcard, white paper, jersey and marker in their hands to Hulai: "Can you sign it for me?" ”

"Hulai, I'm your fan! Please be sure to sign it for me! ”

"Hulai, it's your Twinkle Star jersey, I want you to sign it!"

"Hulai, I didn't bring anything, can you just sign my school uniform?"

Both men and women rushed to get Hulai to sign autographs, and more people were taking pictures and videos with their mobile phones.

They're ready to make a TikTok quick hit.

While accommodating their request, Hulay asked curiously, "How do you know that I am coming to school?" ”

He didn't tell anyone about it on the fly.

"Someone took a picture of you eating, and then posted it to the class group, and it was recognized, hehe!" The students who got Hulai's autograph were happy and answered Hulai's questions.

※※※

Hu Lai kept signing autographs in the crowd, and some people outside were curious why a large group of people suddenly gathered, looking for someone to ask: "Classmate, may I ask which star came to our school?" Why didn't I see it on the Internet? ”

"Stars? Oh yes, it's a star. It's Hulai here! I couldn't squeeze in, so I could only stand outside and watch the lively classmates look around and answer each other's questions.

"Hulai? Which Hulai? ”

The person who was asked withdrew his gaze and glanced at the other party curiously: "Isn't it, classmate?" Are you a student of our Dongchuan? Which Hulai? What else could there be a Hulai? That Hulai on the school's honor roll! ”

The other party also suddenly realized: "Just Hulai in that photo? ”

"yes, who else but him? The name of the entire Dongchuan Middle School is so ...... There is only this Hulai who is a special person! ”

"I'll go, this person is ......" After the other party figured out who was coming, he also looked over, and then looked at the black crowd, and couldn't help but sigh. Even so, it's too exaggerated, right? I thought it was a variety show star who came to our school to shoot a show......"

"Are you a freshman in high school?" The person who was asked stopped looking at the excitement and turned to ask the other party very seriously.

"Uh, yes, I'm a senior ...... high school."

"Oh, that's no wonder. Do you know what kind of school our school is? ”

"Provincial focus?"

The student, who was obviously higher than the other grade, pointed to the school gate across the street, where there was a golden plaque on the cement pillar: "See? Football is traditionally strong. Our Dongchuan Middle School is a school with a football tradition, and it won ten consecutive championships in the early years of the Anton Cup, and now it is the champion of the national competition. You've seen the varsity team of our school too, right? How popular is it at school? ”

The freshman nodded again and again: "The popularity is very high, and the stands are almost full of ...... every home game"

"Yes, in such a football atmosphere, Hulai is the only professional player in our school...... Oh, no, there is also a Luo Kai, but Luo Kai hasn't been kicked out yet...... "The senior paused, "Hu Lai is the first to kick out, it can be said that it is a professional star cultivated by our school, and if you put it in our school, it is more popular than a variety show star!" ”

Seeing that this senior spoke in a rather proud tone, the freshman asked curiously, "Then senior brother, how tall are you?" ”

"Senior year. I've even watched the Hulai race! ”

"Wow......" The freshman thought to himself, no wonder you are so proud, senior brother, he asked again: "Then senior brother, why don't you go and ask for an autograph?" ”

The boy snorted, and then said lightly: "I already have Hulai's signature." ”

"Huh?" The freshmen were really stunned.

"Hehe, after Hu Lai won the last Anton Cup, I asked him for an autograph. Let me tell you, at that time, I was very optimistic about Hulai, and I firmly believed that he would become a professional player in the future, and he would definitely achieve great things! ”

The eyebrows of this junior high school student danced, and the first year of high school was stunned.

※※※

After finally meeting everyone's request for autographs, Hulai squeezed out of the crowd and walked into the campus.

Naturally, the doorman had noticed this movement at the school gate a long time ago.

However, after knowing that it was Hulai who had returned, he did not stop Hulai from entering the school, but took out a brand new notebook and put it on the table: "Visitor registration. ”

That's how he got Hulay's autograph.

As soon as Hulai walked into the school, he walked straight to the school's soccer field.

Others followed him, wanting to see why he had returned to his alma mater and what he was going to do.

The corners of Hulai's mouth curled up when he heard the whistle coming from the direction of the school stadium - as he expected, even though he had left the team, the school team still kept the tradition of noon training......

This is also the reason why he chose to come at noon, if he hasn't forgotten, he remembers that the school team is not training this afternoon, so if you want to see everyone in the school team, he can only come at noon today.

※※※

Li Ziqiang was leading the team in training when he heard a commotion coming in from outside, getting louder and louder, obviously coming towards the football field.

This took him by surprise.

The noise even affected the varsity players who were training on the court, and they all turned their eyes in the direction from which the sound came.

Li Ziqiang frowned, and then yelled, "What do you see? Don't get distracted! ”

Hearing the manager's roar, the players hurriedly put all their energy into training again.

It can be seen that everyone is still very afraid of this unsmiling head coach.

And when the noise entered the stadium, Li Ziqiang cast a disgusted gaze.

He didn't think it was noisy, and every time the team trained, there would be a lot of students in the stands on the sidelines, and they would make all kinds of noises.

What he hated was the sudden noise, which was easily distracting.

However, after looking over, Li Ziqiang was stunned, and the first thing he saw was a large group of people, who walked into the stadium in a mighty manner.

Then he saw a man walking alone in front of the large crowd, a man he knew well......

None other than Hulai!

He finally knew why the stands were so empty during today's training...... It turned out that they all ran to see this kid!

"Why are you here?" Li Ziqiang's tone was a little disgusted.

Hu Lai said with a smile: "I'll come to see everyone, and I'll also come to see you." ”

After speaking, he also waved to the varsity players who had stopped training behind Li Ziqiang.

Li Ziqiang looked back and saw the team that didn't listen to him and continued to train, even the captain of the team, Xia Xiaoyu, looked a little out of shape in front of Hu Lai's arrival, he was looking at Hu Lai with his feet on his feet, if he wasn't still on the sidelines, it is estimated that he would have run to Hu Lai, right?

Thinking of this, Li Ziqiang snorted and said to Hu Lai: "Go to the locker room to find a pair of shoes to change, and then train with them." ”

When the people in the team heard this, they all collectively "wow".

Hulai didn't object, and after saying "okay", he ran to the locker room.

He did come to see the team, to see the coach, to see everyone in this way, and although it was a bit unexpected for him, it was actually better.

It's more comfortable for him than to be on the sidelines or in the stands and watch everyone practice, as if he's never left this team and he's still part of this team......

※※※

Soon Hulai changed into his boots and appeared on the football field.

The students who had followed Hulai to the stadium had also gone to the stands at this time, and they collectively cheered after seeing Hulai run out.

Not only them, but also the players of the Dongchuan Middle School football team were also very excited.

You know, Hulaike, who is running on the pitch now, is a real professional player!

And it's not the kind of professional player who just trains with the team but rarely plays games, but is a professional player who really plays continuously in the professional league and has a top performance.

After only half a season in the league, he became the top scorer in the Sparkling Stars team, scoring double-doubles - such a performance is enough to prove Hulai's level.

To be able to show up on the football pitch of a middle school and train with their student players is a good thing that they never dreamed of before!

"Warm up first." Li Ziqiang waved his head at Hu Lai.

So Hulai ran to the side to warm up alone.

Even if it was a warm-up, everyone watched intently, none of the players in the team went to continue training, and Li Ziqiang did not scold them when he saw this.

How professional players warm up is also a very meaningful lesson for these varsity players.

Even though he was only training with his school team juniors, Hu Lai was still very serious when he warmed up, and did all the warm-up actions he did before the flashing star training.

When he came back, Li Ziqiang arranged a special training content for him.

He let Xia Xiaoyu cross high from the halfway side, and then Hu Lai fought for a header in the penalty area, and he acted as a defender to intercept Hu Lai.

As soon as this training content was spoken, everyone understood that the head coach was going to test Hulai......

Xia Xiaoyu passed the football, Hu Lai and Li Ziqiang ran to the landing point at the same time, their bodies were always entangled, and their hands were constantly moving.

Li Ziqiang desperately pulled Hu Lai with his hand, raised his arms and tried to push him away.

But in the end, it didn't stop Hulai from jumping.

He jumped and crashed into Hulai in the air.

Successfully knocked Hulai out of balance, but Hulai lost his balance at the same time, flung his head sideways to attack the goal, and used an unconventional shooting action to throw the football to the back post!

The goalkeeper of the Dongchuan High School soccer team was unprepared for Hulai's header - he didn't expect Hulai to be able to hit the ball with a near-unbalanced header and head it towards his goal.

He just stood there, raised his hand, and watched the ball fly into the goal.

"I'll ——!!" There was a huge exclamation from the stands. "Beautiful!"

Completely unbalanced, Hulai fell to the ground, rolled around, rolled over, and lay on the artificial turf.

Li Ziqiang landed steadily, looked back at the goal first, confirmed the result, and found that the football was in the goal.

Then he turned his head to look at Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground, and said, "Your strength is better than I thought. ”

Hulai sat up from the ground: "For the past three months, the team has been doing me targeted training on strength. ”

"No wonder......" Li Ziqiang nodded thoughtfully, "You went to the professional team, and you should indeed strengthen some strength training appropriately." Zhao Kangming really understands you very well. ”

Hu Lai got up from the ground with a smile, patted the grass clippings and rubber particles on his body, and said to Li Ziqiang: "I also think I'm okay, when you hit me just now, I didn't fly out directly......

Li Ziqiang glared at him: "That's my subordinates' mercy." ”

"You're going to be fouled if you don't show mercy, Coach." Hulai spread his hands and said with a smile. "It's in the restricted area."

Seeing this "proud disciple" who made people feel like his stomach was shaking when he laughed, Li Ziqiang just wanted to roll his eyes.

"Alright, let's train with the team!" He didn't want to continue chatting with Hulai, otherwise he was afraid that his serious image in front of the players would be ruined by Hulai.

"Okay, Coach." Hulay walked towards the team.

Xia Xiaoyu greeted him very excitedly: "Team Hu, we are training in offensive routines, you and I are ...... in a group."

Shen Yulin next to him was unhappy: "Why should I be in a group with you, Xiaoyu, we need Team Hu more here!" ”

Chen Rui stood up: "You two don't fight, Team Hu follow me." ”

Xia Xiaoyu and Shen Yulin looked at him at the same time: "What are you midfielders fighting with us?" If you can get the ball over 10 meters on target, we're going to applaud you! ”

And the rest of the team, especially those who are freshmen and sophomores, when they joined the team, Hulai was no longer in the team, they had never trained with Hulai, they had never been in contact with Hulai. In today's scene, he can only watch from the side, and he doesn't dare to come up and talk to Hu Lai, nor dare he rob them with Team Xia and Vice Chen......

In the end, the head coach Li Ziqiang, who still walked back, slapped the board and asked Hu Lai to take turns to partner with other teammates.

That's what makes everyone happy.

After the whistle blew, training resumed, and Hulai joined the team in civilian clothes and a pair of professional sneakers.

The Dongchuan Middle School students in the stands watched Hulai's performance intently, cheering and applauding from time to time for Hulai's wonderful performance, and if Hulai made a mistake, the stands would remember the good-natured laughter.

Students came from all over the world to see Hulai train, and in the end, many of them even stood on the sidelines of the track, enclosing the entire football field with human walls.

After Hulai swept the ball into the goal with a half-volley on the pitch, the crowd erupted in loud cheers.

I don't know who sighed in the cheers: "I'm going, it's just like a scene in a comic." I kind of know what it means to 'return home'......"
