Chapter 1159 True Love’s Red Rope
"...This morning local time, Li Qingqing, who plays for Paris Eger, said goodbye to our reporters and some Paris Eger fans who came after hearing the news at the airport, and boarded a flight to the capital... She will be there Join the women's national team and train together to prepare for the Women's World Cup to be held in my country at the end of June..."
"Because there are rumors that Li Qingqing may leave the Paris Eger women's football team, some Paris Eger fans came to the airport to see her off today. Our reporter randomly interviewed several Paris Eger fans at the scene to hear about it. How do they evaluate Li Qingqing's performance at Eger in Paris..."
"Before Li Qingqing arrived, I lacked understanding of Chinese football. It was Li Qingqing who made me know that there are such outstanding players in China... Of course I hope she can stay. But I also understand her and thank her for playing in Paris. Contribution for a season..."
"Li Qingqing is the most talented female football player I have ever seen. She is still very young now, and I think she will definitely become the top female football player in the world in the future...I can't bear to see her leave, but this is football, this is life... ”
"...I don't understand why the club agreed to let Li Qingqing leave. If I were the general manager of the club, I would definitely reject this idea...but unfortunately I am not. I wish her good luck and wish her the best in the World Cup in the summer. Achieve excellent results..."
"We didn't win any championships this season. This is not Li Qingqing's responsibility... She has worked very hard. The club has invested less and less in women's football. I love women's football. I think people still pay far attention to women's football. Not enough. I heard that Li Qingqing is very popular in China. She must feel the feeling of being needed and valued..."
"...The above is the report sent back from the scene. Finally, I also wish Li Qingqing and the women's football girls to compete in style and level in this World Cup..."
Li Ziqiang looked away from the TV screen. After reading this news, the temperature of the noodles was just right, so he didn't have to worry about burning his mouth or throat.
He took a big sip with satisfaction and swallowed it with a slurp.
This time, his daughter not only returned home early, but also went directly to the capital. The scene he worried about last year finally did not have to happen again in front of him.
Although it may be the same again next year... at least his daughter will not come back with Hu Lai this year.
We’ll talk about the rest later!

Hu Lai and Morikawa Junpei had dinner with Song Jiajia in a restaurant.
Leeds City challenged Burley away in the league. Neither of them was selected for the squad, so they were free to have this meal with Song Jiajia tonight.
In order to prepare for next Thursday's Europa League semi-finals, Clark has made significant adjustments to the league's lineup.
Many players, including Hu Lai and Junpei Morikawa, who participated in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, either did not make the squad, or even if they did, they did not start.
Hu Lai and Morikawa Junpei, who were staying in Leeds, were called out by Song Jiajia to have a meal together.
Song Jiajia didn't say what it was about. During the meal, they were chatting and nothing serious was discussed.
In Song Jiajia's words, it was just that he happened to be in Europe and invited them out for a meal.
What he said was like "I'm doing some errands at your house, are you free? Come over for a meal when you're free."
After eating, while Morikawa Junpei went to the toilet, Song Jiajia handed a red rope bracelet to Hu Lai: "Qingqing asked me to give it to you. She said you knew."
Hu Lai took the bracelet and nodded: "Well, she told me that it would increase my good luck."
"How many whispers did you two whisper behind my back?" Song Jiajia snorted.
Hu Lai smiled slightly and did not explain.
Song Jiajia didn't ask any further questions, and talked about Li Qingqing's transfer progress: "Nine times out of ten, Qingqing will go to the Madrid Kings' women's football team."
"Yeah."
Seeing Hu Lai's reaction, Song Jiajia turned to look at him strangely: "Don't you think it's a pity?"
"What a pity? What a pity?"
"If she came to the women's football team at London Bridge or Warship Port, wouldn't it be much easier for you to meet again?"
Hu Lai asked: "Are London Bridge and Warship Harbor good choices?"
Song Jiajia shook her head: "Not as good as the King of Madrid..."
"That's why you came to London because your brain was in trouble."
Hearing Hu Lai's words, Song Jiajia rolled her eyes: "You've just lost your mind!"
Then he said: "But it doesn't matter, you might go to Madrid King in the future anyway."
Hu Lai didn't answer because Morikawa Junpei happened to be back.
The two of them stopped talking about this topic.
※※※
After returning home, Hu Lai and Morikawa Junpei said good night to each other and entered their bedroom.
He sat down at the table with the football on it.
Then he took out the bracelet given by Song Jiajia from his pocket.
Most of the bracelet is woven with red rope, but there are a few colored threads in the middle, which makes the bracelet look not that simple.
The weaving is a little rough because it was hand-knitted by Li Qingqing himself.
Hu Lai had indeed known about this bracelet for a long time.
That was during a video chat between him and Li Qingqing. Li Qingqing suddenly asked about the red bracelet he wore sometimes during the game.
Of course it was impossible for Hu Lai to tell Li Qingqing that it was his system prop.
It can only be said that he bought it online to make it easier for him to use - because he scored a goal in the first game of the Dongchuan Middle School team. It was this goal that helped him win the favor of coach Li Ziqiang. , and finally got another chance to play as a substitute in the Anton Cup final.
And he was wearing a red bracelet in the first game. So he believes that the red bracelet can increase his luck.
Later, such a slightly superstitious "habit" was formed.
Li Qingqing knew this, because she was watching from the sidelines during Hu Lai's first game, and she did see the red bracelet.
But why can she see the bracelet in some games but not in others?
That's because in some games Hu Lai has points to buy the bracelet, and in other games he doesn't have points to buy it, or doesn't want to buy it...
But Hu Lai couldn't explain this reason.
He could only say that the bracelets he bought online were of low quality, and if they were not worn regularly, they would easily break if the movements were intense during the competition, and they would fall off at some point. To this end, he also specially wholesaled a bunch of these bracelets and replaced them with new ones if one fell out.
This answer left Li Qingqing speechless - since it is something that can increase good luck, how can it be wholesaled online? This is too rude!
Hu Lai can only blame himself for being a "straight man of steel".
At this point, Li Qingqing said that he might as well braid one for Hu Lai himself, using a few more strands of rope to make it stronger.
At first Hu Lai thought Li Qingqing was just talking casually.
Unexpectedly, she later checked in with Hu Lai on WeChat. On the first day, I took pictures of the materials I prepared, and then I took pictures of my progress every day to show Hu Lai.
It took about ten days to compile two pieces, one for herself and one for Hu Lai.
She called this the "lucky red rope" and hoped it would bring good luck to both herself and Hu Lai.
She herself will need good luck to participate in the World Cup.
Hu Lai also needs good luck to participate in the Europa League.
Hu Lai put the bracelet on his wrist, put his wrist under the light, took a photo with his mobile phone, and sent it to Li Qingqing: "I received it!"
Soon Li Qingqing made a grinning expression: "How is it?"
"It's pretty good. It looks like you knit it yourself. It's a unique one in the world. It should be the same as the one you have!"
"I hate it!" Why didn't Li Qingqing know that Hu Lai was making fun of her craftsmanship, so she said angrily: "Just tell me whether you like it or not?"
"I like it, I like it. Look, I'm wearing it."
"Oh, you don't need to wear it now. You can wear it again during the game!"
"It's okay, I'll put it on now for you to see, and I'll take it off later."
"Yeah." Li Qingqing made a red smile emoticon.
After finishing the chat with Li Qingqing, Hu Lai took off the red rope from his wrist and held it in his hand for inspection.
A question suddenly pops up in my mind:
Now that Li Qingqing gave him such a bracelet, if he took out the [Lover's Red String] from the system during the competition, wouldn't he have to have two bracelets tied to his wrist? If Li Qingqing saw it, how would he explain it?
This was a very serious question, and Hu Lai's expression became serious.
After thinking about it for a while, Hu Lai decided to do an experiment - he entered the system, exchanged 10,000 points for a [Lover's Red Rope], and took it out from the system space.
In fact, any prop can be brought out from the system space, but it may not be effective if brought out.
For example, [Lover's Red Rope] is only effective during competitions. So now he takes it out and wears it on his wrist, but this prop has no effect.
He knew it didn't work, he just wanted to test whether two bracelets would appear on his arms at the same time.
So he first put on the bracelet woven by Li Qingqing, and then used [Lover's Red String] on himself.
Next, a ray of light suddenly lit up on the bracelet woven by Li Qingqing.
After the glory passed, Hu Lai was surprised to find that there was only a red bracelet on his arm knitted by Li Qingqing himself.
And the [Lover’s Red String] disappeared.
He opened the system vision and looked at his wrist. A message jumped out from his wrist:
【True Lover’s Red Rope】：
Slightly increases the wearer's luck, only valid during matches. Valid forever.
Small print: You have received a bracelet carefully woven for you by your lover. Good luck will always be with you, just like your love will last forever.
Note: This is one of two bracelets, one of which is on your lover's hand.
Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the two bracelets would be combined in such a way.
This means that he no longer has to spend 10,000 points per game to redeem the [Lover’s Red Rope]!
It saved him a lot of points...
He really didn't expect that the system could upgrade things in reality like this.
I don’t know if everything can be used, or only certain things... For example, this bracelet that Li Qingqing knitted for him has a special meaning and fits the role of the original system prop [Lover’s Red Rope]. , will produce such wonderful changes.
Then he noticed the note.
"This is one of two bracelets, one of which is on your lover's hand."
He was a little concerned and had an idea in his mind, so he found Li Qingqing on WeChat again: "Would you put yours on and take a photo for me to see?"
"Okay." Li Qingqing agreed simply without asking why.
Soon a photo was sent.
A red bracelet is very conspicuous on the smooth and clean wrist.
Hu Lai stared at the bracelet on the photo. A message popped up in the system's field of vision:
【True Lover’s Red Rope】：
Slightly increases the wearer's luck, only valid during matches. Valid forever.
Small print: The bracelets you carefully weave for yourself and your lover symbolize your love. May good luck always be with you.
Note: This is one of two bracelets, one of which is on your lover's hand. (End of chapter)
