Chapter 19: Sister’s number one enemy

“I think Xiao Lu is a good kid.” After Lu Li and Chu Jingyi left, Aunt Chu sat in the living room watching TV, while Chu Xiaodong, the head of the family, was washing dishes in the kitchen. “Don’t use tricks to drive people away this time. Our baby is so old, and there is no one around to confide in. You have to take full responsibility for this.”

Chu Xiaodong smiled while rubbing the dishes: “That’s because the intentions of those people before were not pure. I’m worried that they deceived Yibao.”

“Do you think Xiao Lu is pure?”

“He’s a good kid.” Chu Xiaodong often praises people in public, but rarely praises others in private. “This kid lacks a little luck.”

“You’re being narcissistic again. Are you trying to say that you are Xiao Lu’s luck?” Aunt Chu deliberately said, causing Chu Xiaodong to laugh so hard that his crow’s feet became obvious.

“If this kid is more down-to-earth, I may be able to help him.” Chu Xiaodong paused, “Let Yibao think from his own perspective. Anyway, our family has everything, and Xiao Lu’s shortcomings are nothing.”

“Dad, what are you talking about?” Chu Jingyi, who just opened the door, shouted in confusion, “What shortcomings do you say Lu Li has? He has no shortcomings, okay!”

Chu Xiaodong sighed, “You’re really a traitor.”

Lingyue City.

Lu Li didn’t reply to messages all day today. Did he leave for his classmate’s house?

Zou Yameng stared at the phone screen in a daze. It’s not like they haven’t been apart for such a long time before, but for some reason, this separation is so hard to bear. She thinks she’s sick, and vaguely realizes that she may have thoughts about her brother that she shouldn’t have. She worries that he gets too close to other girls, misses his scent, and dreams of the boy’s spring-like smile.

When did it start? In fact, it’s hard to say, it seems that there has always been such thoughts, but they have been covered up by self-deception. She held her chin and stared at the players in the training ground in a daze.

She picked up her phone again and searched for posts about sister-brother love on the Internet. After reading for a long time, she suddenly turned off the screen of her phone and shook her head gently: “I’m really crazy.”

“Yameng, it’s your turn.” Coach Dan came over, “Play well, your opponent is He Ping from Jindong.”

Hearing this name, Zou Yameng instantly became energetic. Jindong He Ping, this name is well-known in the Sichuan Hai Women’s Table Tennis Team. They went to Jindong last year and were defeated by this He Ping alone.

It is a practice match now. There is still some time before the official start of the six-province league. Many players who have arrived at the stadium will have friendly exchanges at the venue. Zou Yameng has gained some fame among the players because her playing style is particularly fierce. The speed and strength of her serve are faster and stronger than those of ordinary male players. She feels that she has made some progress in the past six months, and she should not be shaved bald again when facing He Ping.

He Ping is a woman with short hair and ordinary face. If there is any characteristic of her, it is her unchanging poker face. She always looks worried. Even when she knocked down the Chuanhai female body with one shot, she did not show any pride, as if she just crushed a bug.

It was this attitude that annoyed Zou Yameng.

“I won’t lose again this time.” Zou Yameng sharpened her racket and made full preparations.

“You are...?” He Ping showed doubt.

Zou Yameng was like being hit by a hammer. She bit her lower lip tightly and served without saying a word. The members of the Sichuan Hai Women’s Table Tennis Team trained He Ping as an imaginary enemy, dreaming of defeating her, but they didn’t expect that the opponent didn’t remember them at all. What a shame! At this time, any more explanation would be cowardly. To regain face, you can only rely on real skills!

Zou Yameng’s playing style is very aggressive. Facing He Ping’s changing balls, she repeatedly used the ball to deal with it, so she lost a lot of points. Coach Dan frowned as he watched from the side: “Yameng, keep calm, play steadily!”

Keep calm is a word that Zou Yameng can’t understand. She and Lu Li depend on each other for life. Since they grew up, they have relied on fighting for everything, whether it is the qualification for household registration and school registration, or the long-term residence right of low-rent housing. Two children with nothing can only fight and fight desperately if they want to survive in this cannibalistic society. Just like the unbridled wolf of wealth, and like the lowly wild dog, she will bite even rotten meat with her nose pinched.
