Li Yi leaned on Li Huai's shoulder, intending to take him out for a big meal. Li Huai turned his head and glanced at the silly boy behind him, seemingly worried that he might not be keeping up.
"Li Huai, is that foolish kid your lackey? He doesn't seem very smart..." Li Yi casually remarked.
Li Huai stopped in his tracks and glanced at Li Yi. "He is the top student in his grade."
"He's first, are you last?" Li Yi asked again.
"I don't care." After saying that, Li Huai pushed away Li Yi's arm and the little guy behind him finally caught up.
"Hey, kid, what's your name?" Li Yi looked at the panting little guy behind him and suddenly found that this initially wild-looking person seemed somewhat pleasing in his first smile.
"This beauty, I have a name, my name is Chen Chen. Li Huai is your younger brother, right? Hehehe, well then, please take care of me in the future. I am his desk mate and good friend. Li Huai's grades aren't good, so I usually help him with his homework and give him extra tutoring. Don't worry, with me by his side, his grades will definitely improve. I won't let him become last in the class." Chen Chen pats his chest to prove that he is not lying.
Li Yi took a good look at Chen Chen and finally reached a conclusion: what a cute little guy, so innocent and silly. No wonder his younger brother would keep him by his side. This kind of person is a natural optimist, someone who brings joy to those who see him. Even though he may appear a little foolish, you just can't dislike him.
"Do you guys feel hungry? Let me take you out for a feast. Is there any place nearby that serves steak?" Li Yi changed the topic, thinking that it wouldn't be a bad idea to find a restaurant at this time and have a meal. Afterwards, they could have a chat. He thought to himself that they weren't too far apart in age, so there shouldn't be any significant generation gap when they talked.
After all, Li Yi was a very trendy and novel person. He was neither common nor unsophisticated. In the past, he had mainly been with young people as his bed companions, and Li Yi did not want those teenagers to see him as an old uncle.
Moreover, he's not old either. He's only twenty-nine years old. For a man, this age is just right for him to emit enough charm. His skin is tight and well-maintained, just by looking at his appearance, nobody would know that Li Yi is almost turning thirty this year. As long as Li Yi is willing, there are plenty of handsome men and beautiful women who would readily climb into his bed, all craving for such a flirtatious night.
"There's a restaurant on Chaoyang Road, isn't there? The food there is delicious. How about we go there to eat?" Chen Chen spoke up ahead of everyone else, but his eyes drifted towards Li Huai.
Li Huai remained silent, his implication being that he would leave the decision up to them.
So, Li Yi took the two little ones and went to the restaurant at the Chaoyang Intersection. The task of ordering was assigned to Chen Chen. The three of them sat at a big table. Li Huai sat in a chair and pulled out his phone to start playing a game. Li Yi was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Thinking that it might be a new student calling him, he pressed the answer button directly.
"Hello, are you there?" Li Yi said into the phone.
Uncle Li... Where are you? I didn't see you at the Li Family Martial Arts Hall.
Li Yi frowned as he recognized the owner of the voice. It was none other than Gu Yan, that guy just wouldn't go away. He had only been sent back to the Gu family yesterday, yet here he was at the Li family's martial arts hall without even having recovered his injuries.
Okay, amazing, your perseverance and shamelessness are truly remarkable.
"I have already made it very clear to your father. You don't need to come to the martial arts school anymore, and I won't teach you either. I have something to attend to, so I'm hanging up." Li Yi immediately hung up the phone. Just as he ended the call, Gu Yan called again. Li Yi rejected one call after another. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he turned off his phone in anger.
Sitting beside Li Yi, Chen Chen noticed something was off. He felt that the phone call was not ordinary, so Chen Chen couldn't help but ask, "Hey, buddy, did your girlfriend call you?"
Li Yi put his phone aside, then turned his head and smiled as he replied to Chen Chen, "You're called Chen Chen, right? Listen to me carefully. First of all, I am a guy, so you can't call me 'beauty'. Secondly, I'm older than all of you, so if you want to call me, call me Brother Li. And lastly, kid, mind your own business and stop talking nonsense. Eat more and talk less."
