Chapter 15 The strongest among the newcomers
As students, perhaps few of us like Mondays because it means another long week of studying. They wish the weekend could be longer and longer, because they haven’t had enough fun yet...
Hu Lai, on the contrary, hopes that the new week will come quickly.
Because this means he has three more opportunities to play football after school - every Tuesday, every Wednesday and every Thursday after school.
Luo Kai is also looking forward to the arrival of the new week, because then he can see Li Qingqing again.
After that game, he believed that his image in Li Qingqing's mind must be dazzling.
In order to further solidify his image in Li Qingqing's mind, he had made an appointment with Class 1 and Class 5 on Tuesday after school.
After completing the preparations, he sent an invitation to Li Qingqing to watch the game on Tuesday morning.
But what surprised him was that this time Li Qingqing refused!
"Ah, I'm sorry, Luo Kai, I have to go home directly after school." Li Qingqing smiled politely.
After school, she was going to coach Hu Lai. How could she go to watch Luo Kai's game?
"Really? It's okay, I'll just ask..." Although he was very unwilling to be rejected, Luo Kai still tried to show a gentleman's demeanor in front of Li Qingqing. He squeezed out a chic smile, then turned around and gritted his teeth. Leave.

On the court after school in the afternoon, the game between Grade 1 and Grade 2 and Grade 1 and Grade 5 is going on.
Luo Kai passed three people and then fired a low shot. The football almost missed the blind spot and flew into the goal. However, the goalkeeper of Class 1 and 5 of Senior High School stood still and didn't even make a move.
There was a burst of cheers from the Grade 1 and Grade 2 team, and Li Zhiqun led his teammates towards Luo Kai to celebrate with him.
But Luo Kai waved at them, turned around and ran back to his own half.
Li Zhiqun looked at his sullen look and motioned to others not to go up, so as not to bring trouble on themselves.
He somewhat guessed why Kai Ge was so uninterested after scoring a goal - because that figure was nowhere to be seen in the stands...
If he hadn't already made an agreement with the people in Class 5, Kai Ge would have even wanted to cancel the game...

"It's really amazing."
A tall and handsome figure in the stands put his hands in his pockets and sighed like this to the people around him.
The companion next to him who was a head shorter than him tutted: "This is his seventh goal, right? Class 1 and 5 have been beaten stupidly. I feel that their goalkeeper doesn't want to play anymore. It's so miserable." ... Captain Chu, he is the ‘strongest newcomer’?”
The tall and handsome boy who was called "Captain Chu" nodded and said: "Luo Kai from Class 1 and Class 2 of Senior High School is said to have received professional training before. There are many freshmen in this class who are good at football, but he is the best." Okay.”
"It is said that the new coaches are also of high standard, and with newcomers like Luo Kai and others, maybe we can really go to the national competition." His companion sighed as he looked at Luo Kai on the court.
"Let's defeat Jiaxiang first." Captain Chu shook his head.
Jiaxiang High School in the provincial capital next door is now the dominant high school football team in the province. Since the country began to hold a unified national high school football championship, it has represented Andong Province in the national competition for five consecutive years. It is now the golden name of high school football in Andong Province. Shop sign.
"With Luo Kai, I think I can fight Jiaxiang." said the companion.
While talking, Luo Kai scored another goal on the field. Similarly, after scoring the goal, Luo Kai turned around and ran back to his own half. He had no intention of celebrating at all and his face was expressionless.
"After scoring a goal, he didn't show any expression of joy. He really has the demeanor of a general..." his companion praised. The more he looked at Luo Kai, the more he liked him. He seemed to have seen Luo Kai conquering the city for Dongchuan Middle School and helping them defeat Jiaxiang High School in this year's provincial qualifiers. It’s time to reach the top of the high school football scene in Andong Province and become the provincial representative to participate in the national competition.
Team Chu chuckled: "Whoever scores eight goals in a game won't celebrate anymore, right?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the bottom of the stands.
"Hey, don't watch it?" My companion was a little surprised.
"Well, I won't read anymore. I have to go back and do my homework." Captain Chu said. "You think I'm your sophomore in high school?"
"Hey, what's wrong with our sophomore year? We also have a lot of homework in our sophomore year!" The companion turned around and followed. "I want to go back and do my homework too!"
"I will take the college entrance examination next year," said Captain Chu, who was walking in front.
"The year after next..." His companion stopped mid-sentence. He suddenly realized why Captain Chu said this.
He will take the college entrance examination next year, so this winter is his last chance. Whether he can participate in the national competition depends on this time.
Unlike other schools that use more experienced high school senior players as captains, Team Chu has been the captain since entering the school team as a freshman in high school. Because he was the only one who could do it in Dongchuan Middle School at that time.
He came here when the Dongchuan Middle School football team was at its lowest point, shouldering the important task of reviving Dongchuan Middle School's reputation as a "traditional strong football school". However, two years later, he has not been able to complete this task.
He was very high-spirited in the first year, but reality gave him a blow - Dongchuan Middle School was eliminated in the first round of the qualifying round.
In the second year, he became more mature, and with the help of his new teammates, he reached the third round of the qualifiers in one go, but met the powerful Jiaxiang High School and lost without any suspense.
This year is Team Chu’s senior year, and it is also his last chance to compete in the national competition.
Thinking of this, he stopped, looked back at the court, and found Luo Kai's figure.
I hope this guy can speak up and help Captain Chu realize this wish.
If it really works, I can let you be the captain by this time next year.

Luo Kai scored again, and there was a burst of cheers in the stands. It was the girls from the first and second classes of high school. They came specifically to cheer Luo Kai.
This was not an official match between the two classes, and it was after school time, so there were not many people in the stands. The cheers of these dozen girls were particularly clear.
"Come on Class 1 and 2!"
"Come on Luo Kai!"
"Luo Kai is so handsome!!!"
“Luo Kai is the best!!”
These cheers were simply harsh to the ears of the players in Grade 1 and Grade 5. Many of them looked at the figure who did not celebrate after scoring a goal and wanted to look up to the sky and scream - Oh my God! How unfair you are! He plays football well, is handsome, and is so popular with girls... Why are so many good things concentrated on him alone!
Under the murderous gazes of the players in Classes 1 and 5, and in the high-pitched cheers of the girls in Classes 1 and 2, Luo Kai looked calm, even a little boring...
He scored so many goals to vent his anger on Class 1 and 5, but found that his inner emotions were still not relieved.
What's the point of reaching the peak of life if you are not around?
No, if you are not around, it is not the peak of life at all!
He raised his head slightly and looked at the western sky full of sunset.
The golden clouds seemed to have turned green and were looking at him with a smile. (End of chapter)
