Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group
Chapter 1222 - 1197: Soccer Match
Ye Chen walked while talking on the phone, ignoring Zhang Xu.
Watching Ye Chen’s back, Zhang Xu was so angry he could grind his teeth.
After a while, Song Xiaoxiao found Ye Chen and said to him, "Ye Chen, guess what I brought you?"
"What could you possibly bring me?" Ye Chen glanced at the girl in front of him.
"Look, a love breakfast." Song Xiaoxiao excitedly handed a pink lunch box in front of Ye Chen.
"I bet it’s culinary disaster," Ye Chen said nonchalantly.
But when Song Xiaoxiao opened the lunch box, Ye Chen was stunned. The food inside was so exquisitely made, it was clear a lot of effort was put into it.
Not to mention the taste for now, it looked very appealing.
"How is it, surprised? This is the first time I’ve cooked, am I talented or what?" Song Xiaoxiao said proudly.
This time, Ye Chen noticed the band-aid wrapped around the girl’s hand, clearly a cooking injury.
Looking at the girl’s hands, he asked with some concern, "Does it hurt?"
"Huh, what?" Song Xiaoxiao, still immersed in happiness, didn’t catch what Ye Chen said.
"I asked, cutting yourself must’ve hurt, right?" Ye Chen asked concernedly.
"It’s mostly because it’s my first time cooking. Next time I won’t get hurt. Now, try it. I spent over an hour making it, even if it’s not tasty, you have to finish all the food inside. You can’t waste my good intentions," Song Xiaoxiao threatened.
Truth be told, even if Song Xiaoxiao hadn’t insisted, Ye Chen would have finished it all.
Ye Chen picked up the chopsticks Song Xiaoxiao had prepared in advance, picked up a piece of chicken, and tasted it.
He had to admit, it was really well done, juicy and delicious chicken.
Then he picked up a piece of sushi and started eating, showing a satisfied smile on his face.
Just like that, Ye Chen couldn’t stop his chopsticks, and after a while, everything in the lunch box was gone.
"Ye Chen, you ate it all and didn’t leave me any to taste so I can improve next time," Song Xiaoxiao said with a pout.
This was the first time she cooked, seeing Ye Chen eat so quickly, she suspected he was just acting.
"Such delicious food should be finished straight away, especially since it’s a special love breakfast you made for me," Ye Chen replied.
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Song Xiaoxiao felt very proud internally.
Looks like she really has a talent for cooking, her first attempt was so successful, in future she should improve her cooking skills to make more delicious food for Ye Chen.
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
Song Xiaoxiao wanted to securely capture Ye Chen’s heart, so he would always stay by her side.
"By the way, why did you think of making me breakfast?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.
Song Xiaoxiao’s face flushed red, showing obvious shyness.
She stammered, "Isn’t making love bento a thing girlfriends do for boyfriends in college?"
At this moment, Ye Chen remembered Song Xiaoxiao had said she wanted to experience a college romance.
"Not bad, not bad, keep up the good work," Ye Chen praised.
Then he added, "Are you free at noon?"
"Yes, you need me for something?" Song Xiaoxiao asked.
"Well, sort of, I want you to watch a soccer match," Ye Chen said.
"Soccer match? Between whom?" Song Xiaoxiao asked, looking at Ye Chen.
She hadn’t heard of any soccer match happening at noon, why did Ye Chen say that?
"Of course, it involves me, who else do you want to watch if not your handsome guy?" Ye Chen pretended to be angry.
At this moment, Song Xiaoxiao remembered Zhang Xu had previously said he was going to challenge Ye Chen to a match.
"In my eyes, there’s only you," Song Xiaoxiao casually quoted a song lyric.
The lyric also expressed her feelings.
"Hmm, good girl." Ye Chen gently kissed Song Xiaoxiao on the cheek.
Song Xiaoxiao was electrified, her eyes wide open.
This was Ye Chen’s first time kissing her voluntarily, she was afraid to show her shy side to Ye Chen, and quickly said, "Ye Chen, I have a class, let’s meet at noon."
With that, she ran off quickly.
Ye Chen watched the girl’s retreating figure, and his smile widened.
After finishing the morning classes and having lunch, Ye Chen headed to the soccer field.
At this moment, Zhang Xu was already there waiting. Ye Chen noticed there were many spectators around, obviously called by Zhang Xu.
Ye Chen naturally understood his intention, just to embarrass him.
Zhang Xu looked at Ye Chen teasingly and said, "Ye Chen, this match would be too boring without a bet, let’s add some stakes."
Ye Chen smiled lightly, "Sure, what stakes do you want to add?"
"Whoever loses has to run three laps around the field and shout ’I’m a loser’," Zhang Xu proposed.
Hearing Zhang Xu’s words, Song Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Ye Chen, don’t agree to that."
Then, she angrily warned Zhang Xu, "Zhang Xu, we’re all from the same school, is this really necessary?"
Seeing Song Xiaoxiao speak for Ye Chen, Zhang Xu got more annoyed.
"Ye Chen, do you just like hiding behind a woman?"
Ye Chen’s expression remained calm.
"I accept your conditions, but if you lose, you must do the same," he replied.
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Zhang Xu laughed out loud, "Haha, no problem, but I won’t lose."
Zhang Xu had been playing soccer since he was a kid, and he was the captain of the school team, no way he’d lose to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded indifferently, "Alright, let’s begin."
Zhang Xu nodded, "We’ll go one-on-one, first to five goals wins."
Ye Chen said, "No problem."
In the next second, Zhang Xu suddenly kicked the ball towards Ye Chen.
Zhang Xu gave no warning to Ye Chen, and the ball flew directly towards his face.
"Ye Chen, watch out." Seeing this, Song Xiaoxiao hurriedly shouted.
Ye Chen, seeing the incoming ball, remained calm, suddenly jumped up, and volleyed it away.
Bang!
The ball was kicked back by Ye Chen.
"You go first."
Zhang Xu never expected Ye Chen to catch the ball, completely caught off guard.
The ball struck Zhang Xu directly in the chest.
Zhang Xu staggered back four or five steps, and the ball bounced away.
"You..."
Zhang Xu felt a surge of blood in his chest almost spitting it out.
Ye Chen motioned with his hand, "Bring it on."
Zhang Xu gritted his teeth, then rushed at Ye Chen with the ball.
He was very fast with the ball, in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Ye Chen.
In the next moment, he skillfully separated the ball and himself, directly bypassing Ye Chen.
Ye Chen stood foolishly in place, not moving at all.
Zhang Xu flashed a faint smile, "Is that all!"
Zhang Xu got past Ye Chen, lifted his leg to shoot.
But as he lifted his foot, he suddenly realized the ball was gone from under him.
