Chapter 45

Late in the evening, Tang Yi-Bai's parents still had not come home. Tang Yi-Bai gave them a call and only then did he find out that it was his parents' 25th anniversary today, so they had gone out to celebrate and would not be back so early. So they could not wait for his dad to come back and cook dinner. They set up an electric hot pot in the dining room, bought back a whole bunch of ingredients, and began to cook their own hot pot for dinner. Hiding in an air-conditioned room on a hot summer's day to eat hot pot — one could only describe it as hedonistic. After dinner, they had some fruits, and then after watching television for a little while more, Tang Yi-Bai sent Qi Rui-Feng packing. Qi Rui-Feng had been planning to stay over for the night. He tried to offer a compromise. "I can sleep on the sofa." Tang Yi-Bai shook his head, "The sofa in my house can't fit you." "I can bear it." "I cannot." Yes, he could not

They didn't even finish watching Totoro. Because Er-Bai just loved Totoro too much. As soon as Totoro appeared, Er-Bai would be right up to the TV cabinet, tongue hanging out and tail wagging furiously. It even tried licking the screen several times. Qi Rui-Feng was afraid Er-Bai would be electrocuted, so he turned off the television. "What should we play?" Qi Rui-Feng was troubled. After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up. "How about we play Landlord Also known as Dou dizhu, a very popular card game in China. ( link )?" I haven't played in a long time." Honestly, as a professional athlete, he didn't have many opportunities to play games. Yun Duo was on leave today. Since she was free anyhow, she readily agreed. Tang Yi-Bai had no objections either. The three of them got into position. Yun Duo dominated the long sofa, Qi Rui-Feng sat on the single armchair to one side of her, while Tang Yi-Bai shifted a chair to the other end of the cof

Yun Duo stood where she was, looking at Tang Yi-Bai's staunch and determined back, and felt some bitterness in her heart. Qi Rui-Feng did not understand what was going on. He saw Tang Yi-Bai hurrying off and quickly chased after him. Before going, he even turned to Yun Duo to say, "Hurry up." I won't! Yun Duo refused to move in a fit of pique. She stared after the two athletes and said through puffed up cheeks, "Even if you don't like me, you don't have to act like this! Taking all this effort to come and welcome you back, and you don't even bother to say thank you! A big shot, are you? My idol is Qi Rui-Feng, not you!" As she ranted, she really started to become mad, and so she turned to ask Lin Zi, "Don't you agree?" Lin Zi was very supportive. He nodded emphatically and said, "Right!" Seeing her cheeks bulging from anger, an almost imperceptible smile graced his eyes. He said, "Boss, let's go have some Ha

When Tang Yi-Bai met Coach Brown, the coach told him, "Tang, you can race against Bayard this afternoon. I'll be cheering for you." Tang Yi-Bai nodded calmly, "Okay. Thank you." Coach Brown had never hidden his fondness for Tang Yi-Bai. Right then, seeing how subdued Tang Yi-Bai was, Coach Brown was a little confused. From his interactions with Tang Yi-Bai these past few days, Coach Brown felt that the young man had a very healthy mindset. Tang Yi-Bai would never become discouraged at his opponent's strength. Perhaps because there was very little in the way of entertainment for the athletes, Tang Yi-Bai and Bayard's friendly match stirred up the majority of the club. Many people came to spectate. The ladies were split into two groups — one cheering on Bayard, while the other was on Tang Yi-Bai's side. Based solely on personal best times, Bayard had the advantage, but this lead was less than 0.1 seconds so it was not indicative of anything. Furt

After boarding the plane, Qi Rui-Feng was still nattering on about Yun Duo. It was clear to see how much the words 'dominates the world forever and ever' had captured his heart. He asked Tang Yi-Bai, "Say, do you think Yun Duo has a crush on me?" "Impossible." Tang Yi-Bai gave a decisive shake of his head, his tone as hard and cold as iron. Qi Rui-Feng did not believe him. "Why not? She's a fan of mine. What's so impossible about a fan having a crush on their idol?" Tang Yi-Bai was expressionless as he explained, "You're taller than her by over 30 cm. If she wants to kiss you, she won't be able to even if she jumps. So it's impossible between the two of you." This argument was very convincing. Qi Rui-Feng nodded seriously. "True. Then I don't have to take the trouble to reject her... Matron Yuan doesn't want me to date right now." Matron Yuan did not allow Qi Rui-Feng to date — this was some
