Chapter 41

Not long after the phone was hung up, the doorbell rang again.

Lu Ziqiu walked over to open the door and was startled.

Xia Kexin, who was dragging the suitcase, stood at the door with two lines of hot tears on his face.

"Why are you crying?" Lu Ziqiu hurriedly took her suitcase, "Come in, come in if you have anything to say."

After entering the room, Xia Kexin couldn't help crying anymore.

Lu Ziqiu was at a loss for a while, "Diana, come out quickly."

"What's the matter, what happened?" Diana ran out quickly, and when she saw Xia Kexin, she was overjoyed at first, and then immediately startled again.

What's the matter, why is Kexin crying like this?
She hurried over, "Kexin, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll help you out."

Xia Kexin cried and shook her head without speaking.

"Help her to sit down first." Lu Ziqiu sighed secretly, it seemed that only her mother could make her cry like this.

Diana nodded, and took Xia Kexin to the sofa to sit down.

Lu Ziqiu also took a tissue and handed it to Diana.

Diana helped her wipe away her tears, and said distressedly: "Kexin, don't cry, just say what you are unhappy about, just say it."

Xia Kexin sobbed and shook her head.

Seeing this, Diana was even more anxious.

Before she could ask again, Lu Ziqiu shook his head at her.

Diana bit her lip, feeling really uncomfortable.

After a while, Xia Kexin gradually calmed down, looked up at the two of them with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry to make you worry."

Diana hurriedly took out the tissue again to help her wipe away her tears, "Don't cry, your crying broke my heart."

Xia Kexin gradually stopped her tears, and took the tissue from Diana, "I can do it myself."

Lu Ziqiu saw that her eyes were swollen from crying, and his heart softened, "Kexin, have you eaten yet?"

Xia Kexin bit her lip and shook her head.

"How about some noodles?"

"En." Xia Kexin nodded slightly.

Lu Ziqiu signaled Diana to accompany her, and went back to the kitchen to cook the noodles.

Diana said distressedly: "Kexin, let me take you to wash your face first."

Xia Kexin nodded, and went to the bathroom with her. After washing her face, Diana helped her pull the suitcase to the second floor and shared a room with her temporarily.

When Lu Ziqiu finished cooking, he called them down.

When she came down, Xia Kexin's face looked much better.

The three finished their noodles in silence, and Diana went to clean up the dishes.

Xia Kexin asked in a low voice: "Can I live here for a while?"

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly, "You can stay as long as you want."

Xia Kexin forced a smile.

"Shall I go out with you?"

Xia Kexin shook her head, "Come talk to me."

Lu Ziqiu accompanied her to sit on the sofa, Xia Kexin was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up at him, "Did my mother cause you trouble?"

"No, it's just a little thing."

Xia Kexin said firmly, "I know she must have caused you trouble."

Lu Ziqiu said it again with a wry smile, "It's really just a trivial matter, you don't have to take it to heart."

Xia Kexin smiled wryly and sighed, "I know everything."

"It's all over, don't think about it, the team still needs you."

"Can I still go back to the team?"

"Of course, you can come back whenever you want."

Xia Kexin bit her lip, "But will they see my joke?"

"No, trust me, but you have to wait two days before going back, okay?"

"Are you busy these two days? Do you need my help?"

"It's just a small matter, you should rest for two days first."

Xia Kexin shook her head, "I don't need to rest, really." She didn't dare to rest either.

"Since that's the case, you should follow Diana these two days and let her teach you how to deal with transactions, okay?" After thinking about it, she figured out why she didn't need to rest. At this time, it would be him, Also work hard.

"Okay." Xia Kexin agreed, "Has the team already started making deals?"

"Yes, it has been negotiated, and the follow-up operation is now in progress, and it will be finalized soon."

The two chatted for a while, Diana came out after tidying up, Lu Ziqiu was worried that Lan Feng would come over later, so he winked at Diana, "Diana, don't you want to buy something? Would you like Kexin to accompany you?" Go out and buy."

Diana understood, and hurried over to pull Xia Kexin up, "Come and go shopping with me, okay?"

Xia Kexin hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Finally, Lu Ziqiu breathed a sigh of relief and sent them out. He didn't turn back to the house until Xia Kexin's car was gone.

About half an hour later, Lan Feng came knocking on the door with a sneer on his lips.

It was expected that he would come, but Lin Sen also came with a gloomy face, which was a bit beyond Lu Ziqiu's expectation.

Lan Feng said in a deep voice: "Coach, I already know who is playing tricks on purpose."

"Come in and talk." Lu Ziqiu took a look outside and led them into the room. Lan Feng turned around and closed the door.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Lin Sen stared at Lu Ziqiu, and asked coldly, "You really never bullied Coach Xia?"

"Nonsense." Lu Ziqiu was a little angry.

Lin Sen snorted, "I hope you don't lie to me."

Lu Ziqiu was too lazy to talk to him, "Lan Feng, is that James?"

Lan Feng nodded, "You tell me how to teach him a lesson."

Lu Ziqiu hesitated and didn't speak for a while.

Lin Sen glared at Lu Ziqiu, and said coldly, "I'm telling you, you'd better not be indecisive, otherwise I'll never end with you."

If Lan Feng hadn't stopped him before, he would have rushed to beat James.

Lan Feng slammed him on the head, "Shut up, I'll beat you up if you keep arguing."

"You idiot, it's up to you, can you stop doing it all the time?" Facing Lan Feng, Lin Sen hesitated.

Lan Feng snorted, turned to look at Lu Ziqiu, "Coach, what do you want to do?"

Lu Ziqiu took a deep breath, "I will arrange an intra-team match tomorrow. You can teach him a lesson, but you can't hurt him."

"why?"

"Now is an important juncture in the transaction. Once he is injured, the transaction may be broken."

Lan Feng frowned and said, "Then what will he do after the trade is gone? With his level, it's very difficult to get into the regular rotation lineup."

Lin Sen's lips trembled a few times, but he hesitated when he wanted to say something.

Lu Ziqiu said firmly: "The summer league will start soon, and if we have a chance to see you on the field then, it won't be too late for you to hurt him."

With James' level, no matter which team he switches to, he must go through the probationary period. If he performs well in the summer league, he may continue to play in the first-tier league next season. If he doesn't perform well, he will either be bought out. Or you can only go to the second-tier league to discuss life.

"Leave this kind of thing to me." Lan Feng smiled coldly.

Lin Sen yelled: "Hey, big idiot, you have to save some for me, don't just get him out of here."

"You get him first, otherwise you have no chance."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Lu Ziqiu warned: "You two are captains, you have to be optimistic about the team members, don't let this matter continue, otherwise it will only hurt Kexin."

Lan Feng nodded heavily and promised: "I will definitely keep an eye on them in the future."

Lin Sen turned his head noncommittally. If Xia Kexin hadn't been involved, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of it.

Because he was worried that Xia Kexin would run into them when he came back, Lu Ziqiu didn't keep them any longer, "Go back first, Kexin and Diana will be back soon, don't let her know about it for now."

"Understood." Without further ado, Lan Feng got up directly, seeing that Lin Sen was still struggling to get up, he immediately pulled him up, "Let's go."
