Entering the city center, Li Xu realized that Hanoi's city center was much more prosperous than other places. The streets were clean and tidy, and modern buildings were everywhere. If he did not describe it, he would have thought that it was a Chinese city.
In short, Li Xu felt that the gap between the rich and the poor in this city was very large. In this aspect, it was a bit like Seoul.
It was already evening when the entire SKT team arrived at the hotel. The hotel they were staying at was booked by Fist in advance. It was also a double room. Li Xu and Li Ge stayed in the same room as before.
Li Xu suspected that Li Ge had requested to stay in the same room as him so that it would be easier to chat with Zhao Enjing. After all, Li Xu knew everything about them, so Li Ge was not embarrassed at all.
The hotel's environment was very good. It was bright and clean. Looking down from the hotel room, Li Xu was surprised to see many football fields.
Although the turf looked a little yellow, there was no doubt that it was a professional football field. From eleven or twelve years old to middle-aged men in their thirties or forties, they were all sweating on the field.
It was no wonder that Vietnamese football was developing so quickly. The players' skills were exceptional. With such a football atmosphere and a practical youth training system, it was impossible for Asian opponents to ignore this team that used to be a mediocre team.
After putting away his luggage in the room, Khan from next door barged in. Brother Hanzi came in with his phone and started complaining. "Why is this 3G network? It's too outdated."
"What's wrong with 3G network? It's enough to go online. Don't we have Wifi? "Li Xu replied casually.
"The Wifi speed is a bit slow. 3G network is boring at night."
Li Ge asked back, "What do you want to watch at night?"
Brother Hanzi laughed and did not say anything.
Li Xu took out his phone and looked. "There's no problem. You're the one who changed the network to 3G, right?"
"Really?" Brother Hanzi buried his head in the settings of his phone. After a while, he grinned. "It's true. I made a mistake."
"Li Xu, come out and help me carry my things."
Brother Hanzi winked at him. Li Xu was stunned. How could Khan have any luggage?
Khan had already turned around and went out the door. Li Xu followed him out and saw Brother Khan sneakily looking in from the door.
"What are you doing?"
Khan immediately put his hand to his lips and made a silent gesture. After confirming that Li Ge did not follow them out, Brother Khan took the lead and walked into the room next door.
Li Xu followed him in and was shocked. Other than the substitutes who had already returned, the members who had signed up for the MSI, including the coaches, were all here.
"What are you guys doing?"
Teddy explained, "Tomorrow is Xiang He's birthday. We're going to give him a surprise."
Li Xu was stunned. Tomorrow was Li Ge's birthday? He really didn't notice. Besides, no one told him.
Li Xu was a little hesitant. "Let's not give him a surprise. Let's just celebrate his birthday normally. Li Ge is timid. He'll be scared by you guys."
Teddy immediately retorted, "This is Xiang He's 24th birthday. It's a once-in-a-lifetime event. Only we can celebrate his birthday when he's away from home."
Li Xu: "?????????"
There was nothing wrong with that, but there was a problem with the logic. No matter what year it was, it was a once-in-a-lifetime event, right?
Of course, Li Xu used to shamelessly ask for two birthdays in order to cheat people of birthday gifts when he was young. He wanted one for his Gregorian birthday and one for his Lunar birthday.
"Then what are you guys going to do?"
Teddy explained, "We'll go out for dinner tonight. The coaches will prepare the birthday cake first. You can delay Xiang He. We'll prepare a surprise for him. We'll go back to the room at 10 pm. It's just right for us to celebrate Xiang He's birthday."
"Tonight? Isn't his birthday tomorrow? "
"There's a two-hour time difference between Vietnam and South Korea. 10 pm is May 7th in South Korea. It's easy to surprise him today. If we delay until tomorrow, he'll be prepared."
"Well, even so, how can I delay him?" Li Xu said helplessly, "I'll drag him with my head. You know that Li Ge doesn't like to hang out outside. In Singapore, we can coax him to go to the bar with the excuse of a group activity. How can I trick him out alone?"
Jin Zhengxun said, "That's not our business. Anyway, your task is to delay Xiang He after dinner. We'll go back to decorate the room. You can come back at 10 pm. Remember to let Xiang He in first."
"Well, I'll try my best."
Li Xu could only agree. He thought about asking Zhao Enjing to help delay him. He couldn't delay Guapi, but Zhao Enjing could do it. He could say that Zhao Enjing wanted to see the night view of Hanoi and ask Li Ge to take pictures of it for her.
Just when Li Xu had thought of a countermeasure, he heard Li Ge's voice.
"Actually, you don't have to give me a surprise."
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Li Ge poking his head in from behind the half-open door, staring at everyone in the room.
"Li Ge, when did you come?"
"Just when you said you wanted to give me a surprise." Li Xu didn't enter the door. He just stood at the door with his head half exposed.
"Why didn't you close the door when you came in?" Brother Hanzi turned to Li Xu.
Li Xu: So it's my fault?
"Li Ge, why don't you pretend that you didn't hear it?" Li Xu suggested.
Their original plan of giving Li Ge a surprise was completely ruined. Everyone was a little dispirited.
"Actually, it's not bad to just celebrate a normal birthday." Li Ge comforted Li Xu, who seemed to be blaming himself for forgetting to close the door.
"But remember to make up for the gift when you go back."
"• • • •"
Since their intentions had already been exposed, there was no need for them to hide anymore. They might as well discuss openly and openly.
At eight o 'clock, the entire team ate at a local restaurant. Vietnamese food was mainly light, which was more in line with the eating habits of the players.
However, Li Xu was a little disappointed. He had suggested Chinese food, but unfortunately, he was rejected.
There were many Chinese restaurants in Vietnam. In fact, because it was close to China, some of the Chinese restaurants in Vietnam were very authentic.
Of course, there were also many that weren't authentic.
At ten o 'clock at night, Li Ge was asked to leave his room. The entire team arranged the room and huddled inside. They turned off the lights, and the room fell into darkness as they waited for Li Ge to come back.
Li Xu helplessly lay on the floor. He could only silently complain about this kind of self-deceiving behavior. After all, it was all because he didn't close the door.
Li Ge opened the door. The moment he turned on the lights, Li Xu suddenly jumped up from the floor. He raised the cake and shouted, "Happy birthday!"
“Happybirthday.”
Happy ribbons exploded in the room. His teammates collectively clapped. Teddy held a plastic speaker and blew with all his might. For a moment, the room was very lively.
Li Ge calmly looked at everything in front of him and then clapped his hands. After all, he already knew in advance. It was too difficult for Li Ge to pretend to be surprised.
"Sigh! The effect of the surprise is so-so. "Li Xu sighed.
"Then who did this?" Jin Zhengxun glanced at Li Xu.
