The basketball quarter-finals began promptly on Saturday afternoon.
All the Ling Family children had to attend school and couldn't watch the game, leaving them somewhat listless even at lunch, not even Wang Liansheng's braised pork seemed appetizing.
Ling Chengyan paid no mind, while Wang Liansheng jokingly patted Hongbing and Little Almond, saying, "Today is just the quarter-finals, tomorrow is the finals. You could just watch the finals tomorrow afternoon, that's the real showdown."
Hongbing turned to look at Little Almond, who was also glancing over. The siblings exchanged a look, sighed together, and reached their chopsticks into the braised pork dish, realizing that half the plate was already gone.
