Chapter Twenty-Nine: Don't be cowardly when you bet
Once upon a time, it was popular to use the names of various pop songs or movies to arrange afterwords.
For example, there are seven days in a week, and each day everyone uses the name of a movie to make annotations.
Regarding Monday, I will use the classic Egyptian translated film "Towards the Abyss" to explain, because it will be five days of classes in a row, which is indeed an abyss.
Tuesday – "The Long Road", which is still very early in the weekend, is indeed a long way.
Wednesday - "The Night", although two days have passed in the week, but for the five days of darkness, Wednesday is indeed a night.
Thursday – "Breaking Through the Darkness Before Dawn", with two days left before the holiday, dawn is just around the corner, but the eve before dawn is often the darkest time.
Friday - "Returning to the Heart Like an Arrow", which is about to be a weekend, everyone has no intention of studying, only thinking about how to play on the weekend, and naturally it is like an arrow.
This is a stalk that students like to play more than 20 years ago, and time passes, and students no longer play like this more than 20 years later, but the emotions and feelings are the same and unchanged.
On Friday, there seemed to be more laughter on campus than usual.
"What's on Saturday?"
"Why don't we go shopping? I know that there is a new bubble tea shop on Chunfeng Road, but it tastes good. I just have to go early, the queue is very annoying......"
"Come to my house on Sunday to play FIFA!"
"No, I'm going to grandma's house for dinner......"
……
Voices like this can be heard everywhere on campus.
And for those of you who love football, there's one more thing to look forward to on Friday – at noon today, the school football team will post an announcement on the bulletin wall to let them know who can be selected for the school team.
For them, that's the number one priority.

As soon as Hu Lai sat in his place, a fat figure pounced on him: "Hu Lai, you are honest!" ”
The poor and weak Hu Lai was firmly pressed by Song Jiajia's body on his seat, and the whole person was lying on the table, unable to move, he tilted his head and said with difficulty: "Handed over...... Generation...... What ......"
"Honestly explain what the relationship between you and classmate Li Qingqing is!"
"Yesterday...... I've said it all...... She was...... I...... Coach ......"
"Coach? What coaches? ”
"Football...... Coach ......"
"How did she become your soccer coach?" Song Jiajia couldn't figure it out.
"Ahem, you don't ...... anymore Don't get up again...... I'm going to be ...... by you Crushed by you...... Crushed ......," came Hulai's staccato voice from under the fat man.
Only then did Song Jiajia move her body and free Hu Lai from under him.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Hu Lai coughed for a while, letting his breath even, and then began to explain the relationship between himself and Li Qingqing to Song Jiajia.
After Song Jiajia listened, her eyes widened: "You kid ......"
Before he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and glanced in Luo Kai's direction.
Everyone knows that Luo Kai's attitude towards Li Qingqing is different, but Li Qingqing's attitude towards Luo Kai is relatively cold.
But no one expected that Li Qingqing would be so close to Hu Lai in private.
What is Hu Lai's image in the class, Song Jiajia knows very well.
There's nothing wrong with saying it's a "clown".
But now, this "clown" is mixed up with the recognized "goddess......
If Luo Kai knew, he would be crazy, right?
Thinking of this, Song Jiajia couldn't help but glance at Luo Kai, who was staring at the direction where Li Qingqing was.
At this time, Hu Lai snorted: "What do you think, our relationship is very pure!" ”
Song Jiajia continued to look at Luo Kai's direction, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, you are pure, but Luo Kai is going to cry." ”

Carrying his schoolbag on one shoulder, Li Zhiqun skewed his upper body slightly, and limped a little into the campus with the flow of people, and then he stopped in front of the bulletin wall.
He noticed that there was a space on it.
The corners of his mouth curled up at the sight of this, because he knew that something would appear there.
Names that can appear on it will be selected for the school team.
And that includes himself, of course.
Although he only played a short test match before going off the field due to injury, and although he has not recovered from a foot injury, he believes that his overall performance throughout the test will give him a place on the varsity team.
The only thing that bothers him now is his injury, and he has to catch up with the school's training as soon as possible, because he knows that there is not much time left until the start of the qualifiers for the National High School Football Championship.
He was worried that when he recovered from his injury, the qualifiers would be almost over.
But it's better than Hulai's idiot not being able to get into the school team at all.
At the thought of Hu Lai, Li Zhiqun's mood was much better.
Today is the day when the answer will be revealed, and he must pay attention to the changes in Hulai's expression at that time. Thinking about the appearance of Hulai like a lost dog at that time, the mood was much happier......
With such a good mood, Li Zhiqun walked into the classroom of the first and second classes of high school.
Then he saw Hu Lai smiling happily at a glance, this kid was in such a good mood?
Li Zhiqun was a little surprised, and then couldn't help but sneer: "Hu Lai, can you still laugh?" ”
Hearing this, Hu Lai turned his head and looked at Li Zhiqun with a sad face: "I'm sorry, mourning, Li Zhiqun." ”
Li Zhiqun was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and said angrily: "What are you mourning!" There are no dead people in my house! ”
Hulai was surprised: "Why don't you let me laugh when there are no dead people?" ”
Li Zhiqun held his breath in his throat and almost didn't cough. Then he tried to control his emotions, and turned to look at Hu Lai with a victor's smile on his face, and looked at Hu Lai with a lofty attitude: "The school team is going to announce the selection list today, don't cry when the time comes." ”
"Tears of joy? Don't worry, I'm not that easily excited. ”
"Hello sister!" Li Zhiqun was really unhappy with Hu Lai who was so messing around, he felt that Hu Lai was talking about him left and right, and he didn't dare to face the problem, so he decided to break it directly and hit the nail on the head, so that Hu Lai couldn't get off the stage at all. "You can't be selected for the school team, what do you like!"
But after scolding like this, he saw Hu Lai raise three fingers at him.
"What?" Li Zhiqun frowned and asked.
Hulai said calmly: "I scored three goals. ”
Li Zhiqun was stunned for a moment, but then laughed: "What should I be...... Do you think you're sure you'll be on the varsity team because of this? You're all right with your brain, right? Oh, I remember, of course you have something wrong with your brain...... Ha ha! I'm telling you, those three balls don't say anything at all! You're just shit lucky! No coach with a normal IQ would choose you for this reason! ”
Li Zhiqun frantically output and laughed at Hu Lai, his voice became louder and louder, and in the end, almost everyone in the entire classroom heard it, and they all stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look.
Li Zhiqun doesn't like Hu Lai, which is not a secret in the first and second classes of high school, everyone knows it.
However, it is still relatively rare for Li Zhiqun to be so fierce in front of Hu Lai as he is now.
After all, the two of them only said one or two words before they were arguing......
Li Qingqing was very dissatisfied with Li Zhiqun's targeting of Hu Lai so much, and this person not only targeted Hu Lai, but also targeted his father everywhere. I said before that Dad should directly let Luo Kai enter the school team, otherwise he would have no vision.
She frowned, and couldn't help but want to say something to Hulai in front of the class, leaning over, her hands pressed against her desk, and she was trying to get ready to stand up.
Luo Kai, who had been staring at Li Qingqing, looked at this scene, and the guess in his heart seemed to be confirmed.
It was as if he heard the sound of his own heart cracking.
At this moment, Hu Lai interrupted Li Zhiqun's shrill voice: "Bet, Li Zhiqun." ”
Li Zhiqun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Hu Lai to say such a thing.
Hulai continued: "Bet. If I make it to the varsity team, you give me a hundred dollars. If I don't make it to the school team, then let Song Jiajia give you a hundred yuan! ”
"Ha, Hulai looks like you're so confident......" Li Zhiqun's words stopped before he could finish his words, because he found a blind spot.
Song Jiajia, who was sitting next to Hu Lai, also turned her head and looked at Hu Lai in surprise: "Why do you lose and I give money?" ”
Hulay looked at his table mates sincerely: "Because we are friends. ”
"It's not...... We're friends, so I don't have to pay for you......"
Hu Lai spread his hands: "I don't have that much money." ”
Seeing the infighting between the two of them, Li Zhiqun laughed happily: "Hu Lai, look at the things you do all day long, you shouldn't come to Dongchuan Middle School to go to school, but go to the hospital to see your brain!" Ha! Let's get into a fight between the two of you......"
There was a loud bang, and Li Zhiqun's laughter was interrupted.
Song Jiajia slapped the table, pointed at Li Zhiqun with one hand and said angrily: "Okay, I'll give you this money!" ”
Li Zhiqun: "......"
Others: "......"
"Neurotic, you!" Li Zhiqun, who came back to his senses, shouted. "What does this have to do with you!"
Song Jiajia held her head high and snorted: "Hu Lai is my friend!" ”
Hu Lai stood next to Song Jiajia and gave him a thumbs up.
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Zhiqun felt that he was reasoning with two idiots, so he waved his hand: "Forget it, what am I doing with the two of you with general knowledge......
I'm going to walk back to my seat.
Hu Lai stopped him: "Bet, Li Zhiqun." You can't be cowardly, right? ”
His approach surprised the onlookers, Li Zhiqun obviously wanted to let Hu Lai go, so why did Hu Lai not forgive?
Although Li Zhiqun's attitude is relatively bad, he is right.
All three of Hulay's goals in that game were clearly the product of luck. Who would be selected for the varsity team for three shitty goals? So why is the school team still engaged in such a professional selection? Just let everyone buy a lottery ticket, see who wins the lottery and choose whom, whoever wins the largest amount will be the main force - isn't this child's play!
But Hulay is so sure he can make it to the varsity team?
Did those three goals inflate him?
And Li Qingqing saw that Hu Lai was so determined, but she thought of another possibility - she told Hu Lai so sincerely and seriously yesterday that he was talented.
She wanted to boost Hulai's confidence and motivation as much as possible to prepare for the next year's training.
But she seems to have overlooked the fact that a person who has never been praised for his talent in football would be happy to be told so sincerely......
Li Zhiqun smiled when he saw Hu Lai like this. He nodded vigorously: "Okay, bet!" Don't regret it then! ”
He pointed to Hu Lai and Song Jiajia, and then sat down in his seat with a disdainful smile.
Others, seeing that the show was over, also withdrew their attention.
After Song Jiajia sat back in her seat, she grabbed Hu Lai and asked him in a low voice: "Hey, Hu Lai, are you so confident that you will be selected for the school team?" It's not that I'm reluctant to give up the hundred yuan, I just feel very unhappy to lose to that bastard Li Zhiqun......"
Hu Lai gave him a thumbs up: "Don't worry, Li Qingqing said that I have a very talented talent!" ”
"That Li Qingqing?" Song Jiajia was a little unconvinced.
"She's a very professional ......" Hu Lai simply whispered to his table about what happened during this time, from Li Qingqing's super football ability, to her accurate guessing of the specific content of the school team exam, so as to come to a conclusion: that is, what Li Qingqing said must be fine, since she thinks that Hu Lai is talented, then the head coach of the school team must also see it this way, so the chance of him joining the school team is naturally much higher.
Looking at the backs of Hu Lai and Song Jiajia with their heads together, Li Qingqing frowned.
She did think that Hulai's talent was very, very powerful, but there was still a long way to go between a great talent and the ability to realize it.
Just because you're talented doesn't mean you can be a professional.
Since she was a child, she has been by her father's side, and she has seen many examples of people who have super talent, but in the end nothing comes out.
She didn't want Hulai to be like that.
