Heaven knew why the two of them couldn't agree.
Chen Shi'an had no ability to split himself in two. Seeing them on opposite sides, he simply walked to the badminton court in the middle.
"Let's play here!" Chen Shi'an said.
"The court on the left is newer," Wen Zhixia said.
"There's no wind on the right," Lin Meng Qiu said.
"I think the middle court has the best feng shui. Are you two playing or not?" Chen Shi'an absolutely refused to choose either side.
Helplessly, Wen Zhixia and Lin Meng Qiu both found his choice of the middle court more acceptable than the other's preferred court.
"It's windy," Lin Meng Qiu said.
"The net's so battered," Wen Zhixia complained.
"We're staying here."
Chen Shi'an made the decision. "I don't know how to play badminton. Why don't you two play first? I'll watch and learn."
"Sure."
Wen Zhixia took her other badminton racket from her bag and stood on the left half of the court.
Lin Meng Qiu also took out her other racket and stood on the right half.
They used Wen Zhixia's shuttlecock. She took hers out first, and Lin Meng Qiu didn't argue over that. Seeing that she had one out, she stuffed her own back into its tube.
Chen Shi'an really didn't know how to play badminton. Today was even his first time touching a Badminton Racket or shuttlecock.
He examined the rackets Lin Meng Qiu and Wen Zhixia had given him.
He could tell both rackets were excellent quality. He flicked their strings with a finger, feeling the crisp, springy response.
Had they not invited him to play today, Chen Shi'an wouldn't even have known Wen Zhixia and Lin Meng Qiu could play badminton.
Did they just casually bat it around like other girls?
No.
