"I've finished taking a shower, how about you?"

Li Qingqing, who had returned to her apartment in Paris, was wrapped in a bath towel, wiping her wet hair while sending a new message to Hu Lai.

Soon a request for a video call was sent by Hu Lai.

Li Qingqing answered the call and complained: "I just finished taking a shower and haven't had time to get dressed yet..."

"Really? I don't believe it! Unless you prove it to me!" Hu Lai showed the expression of a famous female host.

Li Qingqing rolled her eyes at him and put her phone flat on the table.

Hu Lai could only see the ceiling for a moment, and soon he couldn't even see the ceiling. A bath towel flew over and covered the phone.

His vision went dark...

"ah!"

Hu Lai first grabbed the air in front of his eyes, and then realized that this was Li Qingqing's bath towel. What could he catch by grabbing here? So he fiddled with the screen of his phone, trying to uncover the towel covering the camera of the phone...

…

After putting on her pajamas, Li Qingqing took off her bath towel and saw Hu Lai on the screen poking at the camera position with his hand.

She tilted her head and looked at Hu Lai on the phone lying on the table strangely: "What are you doing?"

"Uh..." Hu Lai, who was discovered, retracted his finger with some embarrassment, "The front camera seems to be dirty, let me wipe it..."

Li Qingqing picked up the phone and showed his upper body in front of Hu Lai: "I've changed into my pajamas."

Hu Lai rubbed his eyes with one hand: "Damn it!"

"Who is hateful?"

"Abominable author!"

Li Qingqing was amused by him.

Hu Lai on the other end of the phone was looking at Li Qingqing, who was smiling wildly. Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, her cheeks were blushing, making her look even more attractive.

This made him stunned unconsciously.

Li Qingqing saw Hu Lai in a daze and asked: "Why are you not moving? Is the network not good?"

Hu Lai shook his head: "No."

"Then what are you doing?"

"I..." Hu Lai was stunned for a moment when faced with this problem, "I still can't believe it..."

"What can't you believe?" Li Qingqing asked.

"I can't believe... you will really be my girlfriend. Today is like a dream..."

"Hulai."

"ah?"

Li Qingqing smiled and said: "I love you."

Hu Lai at the other end of the video seemed to be stuck again, frozen there.

"Do you believe it now?" Li Qingqing made a face at him.

"Ah?" Hu Lai in the video finally came to life. He frowned and said, "The signal is not good and it got stuck. What did you say just now? Can you say it a few more times so I can listen?"

"What a beautiful thought you have!"

"Oh, I was really stuck just now. I really didn't hear what you said..."

"Then in order to avoid the situation of poor Internet speed, I will talk to you next time!"

"Hey, stingy!"

Who knows when the next time we will meet is.

The women's football team and the men's football team don't compete together. When the national team competes, they can't compete at all.

There will be a Women's Football World Cup this summer. After Li Qingqing finished playing club games, she had to go to the national team to report for training and prepare for the World Cup. They couldn't even go back to their country to meet up again.

If he wants to see her, he can only wait until she comes home after playing the World Cup, if he is still at home at that time.

In fact, as a well-known football star, it is very difficult for Hu Lai to stay at home in Dongchuan peacefully throughout the holiday.

He and Li Qingqing were destined to spend less time together and more separation in the days to come...

People say that "a little separation is better than a new marriage." He and Li Qingqing were more than just a little separation... they were simply "the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl".

There is the English Channel in the middle, but even if they can't meet each other, he can't always expect Li Qingqing to run to Leeds every day when there are no games, right?

There is a Morikawa living here!

Just today, he and Li Qingqing had agreed not to make their relationship public.

Because they all know that Li Qingqing's father doesn't like Hu Lai very much. Now that his daughter is suddenly with Hu Lai, who knows what the reaction will be... Li Qingqing still plans to tell her father face to face about this matter.

Until she and her father come to an agreement, their relationship will not be made public.

For this reason, Hu Lai naturally cannot always appear in front of Morikawa Junpei with Li Qingqing, or even in front of the public.

This time it can be said that someone came to work and shoot a promotional video.

Will you come here to shoot promotional videos every time in the future?

And as the core player of Leeds City, he can't always take time off to go to Paris to meet beauties privately, right?

Therefore, the two of them cannot meet each other and can only use video chat at night to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

They had just established a relationship, which was supposed to be in full swing. The two were inseparable and couldn't wait to be separated for a moment.

Now I have no choice but to accept the reality of separation between the two places.

After saying good night to each other in the video, the two young lovers reluctantly ended the call.

Hu Lai looked at the 40 minutes and 52 seconds of call time with Li Qingqing on the phone screen and sighed softly.

Is this what it's like to be in love?

At this moment, a new message appeared in the chat history in front of him.

It was a voice message sent by Li Qingqing.

When he clicked on it, he heard Li Qingqing whispering in front of the phone receiver:

"I love you, Hu Lai."

Listening to Li Qingqing's breath into the microphone, Hu Lai felt as if Li Qingqing was speaking into his ear.

He replied: "I love you too, Li Qingqing..."

Soon Li Qingqing replied with a smile: "Go to bed quickly, you have training classes tomorrow."

"OK, good night!"

"Good night!"

Hu Lai put down his cell phone and lay on the bed ready to sleep.

But soon he turned over and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, clicked on the voice message and listened repeatedly... with a happy smile on his face.

Hu Lai didn't know when he fell asleep, but he knew that he must have fallen asleep very late.

Because he was awakened by Morikawa Junpei's knock on the door!

When he heard a slightly urgent knock on the door, he was so frightened that he sat up from the bed, his heart beating violently, thinking that something big had happened.

Until he heard Morikawa Junpei shouting through the door: "Hu Lai, are you up?"

Only then did he realize that nothing had happened.

It was just an ordinary morning, the only difference was... he overslept.

"Hu Lai?"

"I'm up, I'll be fine soon..." Hu Lai, who was sitting on the bed, loudly replied to Morikawa Junpei. He was afraid that if he didn't speak, Morikawa would break in...

Sure enough, after hearing Hu Lai's response, Morikawa Junpei felt relieved and said outside: "Okay, then I'll go down and wait for you to have breakfast."

After Morikawa Junpei left, Hu Lai's heart that was beating so fast due to the sudden awakening gradually slowed down.

He took a long breath and turned to look out the bright window. It was bright and it was indeed getting late.

I actually overslept...

This simply shouldn’t be the case!

Why do I oversleep?

Following this question, Hu Lai thought of yesterday.

Then he was stunned in bed. Could the so-called "yesterday" be a dream he had?

In fact, there is no such thing as Li Qingqing loving me, it is all my own imagination...

Thinking of this, Hu Lai turned over and threw himself in front of the bedside table, grabbing his cell phone.
