Chapter 19
He didn’t know if it was because he was small or because his technique wasn’t good enough, but after only a few minutes, Li Zexin felt out of breath. He slowly swayed, trying to stay upright.
“As an opponent, I can’t stand it anymore. I hate rookies like you the most. Are you farming WeChat pets in the jungle?” Xiao Yi mocked them. He thought about his teammates that he couldn’t play with and got even more frustrated.
Li Zexin was at a loss for words.
[I’m most afraid of being ridiculed by someone with strength. The top student has a strong personality. I’m dying of laughter.]
[Academic genius, come up with some more golden words.]
[He uses his knowledge to scold people. A top student indeed is a top student.]
[Look at Li Zexin. He looks so helpless. So, someone can make him speechless like this, who knew?]
It wasn’t that Li Zexin couldn’t refute him with some colorful words. But he felt like he had seen this person before somewhere. So, he stood there thinking silently.
Not only Xiao Yi, but also Li Zexuan wanted to scold his brother for being so pigheaded. He hadn’t even felt this irritated when he had lost. It was fine if Li Zexin couldn’t help him, but he was like a useless limb holding him back. Li Zxeuan had found a few openings for him to attack but Li Zexin, like an idiot, blocked his way several times because he didn’t know where to run.
Since Li Zexin wasn’t any help and Li Zexuan felt embarrassed to go on in the livestream, he thought of an excuse to end the game and leave. Just as he was about to say the words, he saw Lin Guoguo shouting for his younger brother.
Lin Guoguo stopped in front of Li Zekai. “Little brother Jiejie, Mom asked you to come to my house for dinner. Dad made a lot of delicious food, and there’s also sweet and sour fish.”
Li Zekai was really hungry. Watching his brothers play but not being able to join him had bored him out of his mind. “Okay!” he said. “But I will have to go home and ask my dad.”
“Your father and mother have already gone to my house.” Lin Guoguo had gone to their house first and told Li Yanchen and Lin Wan to go to her house. She had then come looking for the three brothers at the basketball court.
‘So, Lin Wan really doesn’t know how to cook,’ thought Li Zexuan. If Lin Guoguo’s family left tomorrow, it would mean no more food. ‘Will we eat compressed biscuits again?’
[Oh my God, Lin Wan is addicted to freeloading. She is really fated for this.]
[Guoguo, bring the three kids to your house.]
[What are Shen Man and Lin Tong thinking? Lin Wan is obviously lazy.]
[Maybe they decided to have one last dinner together because Guoguo’s family is leaving tomorrow?]
[Anyway, she won’t be able to freeload a meal tomorrow night. Let’s see what she does then.]
When Li Zexuan heard this, he put down the ball. “I’m hungry. I’ll call you tomorrow?”
Xiao Yi looked at the time. “Okay, let’s meet tomorrow,” he said, holding the ball.
[Follow the camera. How did the popular family from the previous episode take a fancy to Lin Wan? I don’t understand.]
[Maybe it’s because of Li Yanchen and Xuanxuan.]
[That’s right.]
[Let’s wait and see what she’ll do tomorrow.]
[Brothers, Xiao Yi’s mother is splitting the cake. She gave it to Lin Wan directly at Guoguo’s house.]
[My God, Lin Wan, who didn’t participate in anything, is actually being treated well!]
[There’s no justice in this world. Festival Group, you’re just drawing hatred now!]
Li Zekai and Guoguo walked in front, while the others followed behind. They split into three rows and walked home.
When Li Zexuan passed his house, he saw that the door to the courtyard was closed. His father and Lin Wan had left first. ‘That woman is seriously addicted to freeloading!’
Li Zexin didn’t think too much about it. To him, it was fine as long as there was food to eat. Besides, he would get to spend time with his father! He didn’t care about anything else.
“Why do we always go to other people’s houses for free meals?” Li Zexuan wanted to refuse but he was hungry.
“I forgot how hungry I was last night. Brother, it’s good to have a meal. Guoguo and the others are leaving tomorrow, so we won’t be able to eat even if we want to. We won’t be able to escape our fate of starving for a meal.” Li Zexin stretched out his hand and patted his brother on the shoulder.
Li Zexuan thought about that. His brother was right. He should eat when they have food. After tomorrow, they might not get a meal at all.
Li Zexuan tossed the ball into the courtyard and continued walking to Lin Guoguo’s house for dinner.
Xiao Yi’s house was right past Lin Guoguo’s. When they reached, Shen man called out to them from the doorway.
“Xiao Yi, let’s eat together tonight. Uncle Lin made a lot of dishes,” said Shen Man warmly. The family was leaving tomorrow. Although they had only known each other for two days, she felt like she wanted to give something back to Xia Mo for delivering the cake. When she had asked Xia Mo to stay for dinner, she had politely refused. When she had insisted, Xia Mo had left to bring some food over from her house so the families could eat together.
Xiao Yi didn’t know that his mother had already made an agreement with Shen Man, so he politely rejected her offer. “Auntie Shen, I am grateful my dad must have already cooked dinner.”
As soon as the boy finished speaking, he saw his parents coming over with food. Xiao Yi was speechless.
“Come in, silly child. Your parents are here. Let’s all eat together,” insisted Shen Man.
“Guoguo and the others are leaving tomorrow afternoon. I don’t even know if we’ll meet again in the future. Let’s have this meal together, alright?” said Xia Mo. Xiao Yi nodded and walked with his mother into the courtyard.
[Xiao Xiao’s family, Xuanxuan’s family, and Guoguo’s family have put their tables together. Are the three families in an alliance?]
[Do you want to consider inviting Wheatley’s family?]
[It’s not a good idea to call Tutu’s family.]
[The table can be moved over, but the space isn’t big enough.]
[Wheatley’s family has already started eating. Nannan made braised pork, salt and pepper shrimp, and juice today.]
[Tutu’s family is still quarreling.]
[Oh my God, I heard that Su Wei is going on a business trip tomorrow and Xu Xiaoxiao is going to be alone with Tutu. I’m so nervous for her.]
[Su Wei seemed to have said something to Tutu. Tutu is very obedient now.]
Next to the well in Lin Guoguo’s house, the children washed their hands. The three boys who had played basketball washed their faces with the cold water.
Li Zexuan raised his head and flicked his wet hair.
[Is Xuanxuan showing off?]
[He looks so handsome with wet hair!]
...
[The top student and the strongest brain together. I really want to see their knowledge collide.]
[Do you think Guoguo will be embarrassed if she messes up the Rubik’s Cube and asks the top scorer to restore it?]
[Why is it embarrassing? we’re not in the same field, okay?]
[You should be worried about Li Zexin. He’s a university scum.]
[My dear brothers, I’m really worried. This is really a family reality show, not a competition.]
[I didn’t expect Li Zexin to have fans. This child is the King of Destruction. He likes to hit and smash. When he grows up, he will most likely turn violent.]
[That’s right. Don’t lead our Guoguo astray.]
[Didn’t you all scold Lin Wan? You all can’t stand Lin Wan. Do you even consider that this might be why she is so resistant?]
Where there were many people, there were also many quarrels. Sure enough, the fans of the three sides started arguing with each other.
