Chapter 154 Refusing to Give Up
Li Rongsen was about to scold him for meddling in other people's business, but then he thought about how he was just a child and how he would be too rude. If he lost his temper, he would just make the child laugh. So he closed the door, sat down on the sofa, looked him in the eye, and asked, "Tomorrow is the weekend. I've made an appointment with An Yan to play tennis. Do you want to stay home or come with me?"
Xiaoji pursed his lips and said, "Let's go together."
"Then we are both followers." Li Rongsen teased him jokingly.
Xiaoji looked disgusted, and then asked, "Where do I live?"
"There's a separate bathroom in the innermost room upstairs. Go take a shower there, and then come down for some midnight snack." Li Rongsen instructed him, then leaned back on the sofa to rest while turning on the TV.
Xiaoji didn't answer and just went upstairs.
I stayed awake all night until dawn when the first ray of sunlight came into the house.
Li Rongsen put on his casual clothes and walked down the stairs. He had already smelled the aroma. He walked into the kitchen and saw Xiaoji making breakfast. He asked, "You can actually cook."
"Unlike you, cooking is such a simple thing." Xiaoji replied indifferently, with contempt in his tone.
Li Rongsen didn't bother with him. He walked out, put on his watch and looked at the time. He heard the doorbell ring, so he went to open the door. It was An Yan standing at the door.
Unable to help but feel a little surprised, he asked: "Why don't you wait for me to pick you up?"
"Xiao Ji asked me to come over early because he had something to do. What's the matter?" An Yan asked. She was holding a tennis racket in her hand and dressed in sporty clothes. The goose egg yolk color suited her very well.
Xiaoji came out of the kitchen. He put breakfast on the table first, then said to An Yan, "Breakfast is ready. Come in."
An Yan was surprised. While changing her shoes, she asked Li Rongsen, "Did you make breakfast?"
Li Rongsen felt embarrassed and said, "No, he made it. I don't know how it tastes. I haven't tasted it yet." Then he took the tennis racket from her hand and put it aside.
An Yan sat down at the dining table and found that it was a rich Western breakfast. She asked Xiao Ji, "Did you make all this?"
"No big deal." Xiao Ji said and sat down, placing another portion in front of Li Rongsen.
An Yan started to move her fork and said, "It tastes really good. I didn't expect you could make Western pastries."
"I can cook any dish. This is the simplest thing." Xiao Ji said nonchalantly, then looked at Li Rongsen's face and said, "There are people who can't do it."
Li Rongsen didn't say anything. He took a bite and it tasted really good. He heard Xiaoji's thoughts and said, "How stupid! They say that if you want to tie someone up, you should tie up their stomach first. You can't even cook a dish, and you want to chase girls." Bai Shichen can cook.
What a little brat! He’s probably an undercover agent sent by Bai Shichen.
An Yan smiled and said, "No one is perfect, and it's okay if you can't do it."
"That's right." Li Rongsen thought that the words were meant to help him.
"You are too thin, you need to eat more." Xiao Ji put an egg into An Yan's plate seriously.
"I can't eat anymore." An Yan didn't have a big appetite, so she couldn't eat much.
Xiaoji immediately said, "That won't work. Your body needs food to replenish its nutrients. You shouldn't be picky about what you eat. Today's breakfast is specially prepared with a combination of ingredients. You have to eat it all to get a balanced diet."
But An Yan still didn't move. She found that the little kid's words had changed a lot.
Li Rongsen raised his eyebrows slightly, looking very happy. You must be holding back, little brat.
Xiaoji frowned, but he didn't force it.
An Yan had already started to clear the dishes, but Li Rongsen asked her to put them down and said, "I'll do it. You go sit on the sofa for a while, I'll be right there."
Xiao Ji watched Li Rongsen coldly as he put the food into the kitchen and threw away the leftovers. He said, "You must have been very happy just now."
"Why should I be happy?" Li Rongsen asked him back.
"I know you are happy. Next time I will prepare a full banquet, An Yan will definitely praise me to the sky and make you mad to death." Xiao Ji spoke in a tone like issuing a declaration of war.
Li Rongsen smiled and said, "Don't play tricks, she doesn't like it."
"Anyway, I don't think she likes you at all." Xiao Ji said and turned to leave.
Li Rongsen felt that this brat was just not compatible with him and treated him like an enemy, but he didn't care. After cleaning up, he went out and said to An Yan, "Let's go."
The three of them went to the tennis court together.
Because Li Rongsen and Xiao Ji both wanted to play tennis with An Yan, neither of them gave in.
So much so that I heard An Yan say, "Then let's fight together, two against one, you two against me one."
"I don't want to bully women, especially you." Xiaoji disagreed.
An Yan smiled, full of pride, and said, "Come on, we don't know who is bullying who."
Li Rongsen also felt the same way. He thought that taking Xiaoji to play tennis together would help him to relax more. His tennis level was obvious to all, but he also didn't want An Yan to find out that he deliberately lost to her.
So, two against one, it begins.
"What's wrong with you? Move over a little." Xiaoji complained.
Then, he missed the ball and said, "I think you're very bad."
"The ball is with you, my arms are not that long." Li Rongsen answered him, but he found that An Yan's tennis level was quite high, almost at the level of a professional player.
If he continued to play absentmindedly like this, it would easily make her feel bored.
Sure enough, An Yan spoke up and said, "Can you guys just play properly? Stop arguing all the time and show your true level. Otherwise, what's the fun in that?"
Li Rongsen finally started to perform at his normal level.
This made An Yan feel interesting, and her interest was even stronger than before. She said, "Not bad, try harder."
Xiaoji's skills were ultimately limited, so he always lagged behind and lost. This actually created a bit of a comradeship with Li Rongsen, and during the halftime break, he said, "We can't beat her."
Li Rongsen thought that this was not true. If you couldn't beat her, he wouldn't necessarily lose so badly.
But Xiaoji thought Li Rongsen was at the same level as him and said, "Let's not play tennis next time. Let's try something else."
"You take a rest, I'll continue playing with her." Li Rongsen said.
Xiaoji said: "Without me, you will lose even more miserably."
"You try." Li Rongsen said as he stood up and walked to the middle of the room. He said to An Yan, "How about we start one-on-one now?"
"Show me your true ability. Giving me a break means you look down on me." An Yan reminded him solemnly. She knew that he was always giving me a break, which made her feel that her victory was not glorious.
Li Rongsen knew that she was telling the truth, so he started playing with all his strength.
Sure enough, the two were only one ball apart.
An Yan said, "No more play, you let me have that ball."
"I didn't give in. I was just using too much force, so I crossed the line." Li Rongsen wanted to please her, but the problem was that An Yan's level was too high.
Xiaoji sat aside sulking, it turned out that he was the worst one.
At this moment, he saw a ball flying towards him, hitting Li Rongsen on the forehead. He turned his body and heard someone shouting from the other end: "Sorry, that was our ball, it flew away."
Then, I saw two women walking towards me, their bodies filled with the smell of perfume, which mixed with sweat was strong and pungent.
And saw one of the women threw herself into Li Rongsen's arms, hugged him tightly, and said with surprise in her voice: "Ah, it's Brother Rongsen, I'm surprised to see you here!"
An Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and saw that the woman's legs were also hung around Li Rongsen's waist. It was really bold.
