Charlie put on an apron before he went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Just then, his cell phone rang again.
Unexpectedly, after glancing at the name on the caller ID, he realized that the caller was none other than Aurora, the little feisty young lady of the Quinton family. 9
Charlie could not help but feel a little surprised when h e saw this.
'This feisty young lady does not call me often. Could it be that she has run into some trouble again today?'
As he thought about this, Charlie hurriedly answered the phone before he asked, "Aurora, why are you looking for me?" 1
Aurora replied shyly, "Master Wade, do you remember that I told you before that I will be participating in the International University Combat and Fighting Championship?"
Charlie smiled as he said, "Of course I remember.
Didn't I promise you that I would go there to support you and cheer you on? By the way, you have not told m e which day it will be held on." 7
Aurora smiled happily as she said, "So you still remember it, Master Wade! I am really very happy." 1
After that, Aurora felt a little shy and said, "Master Wade, I will be competing in the last preliminary round later in the morning today. I was just wondering if you would have time to come over and take a look..."
Charlie asked curiously, "Competing in the preliminary round? How is the format of your championship arranged?" 1
Aurora replied, "Since this is an international university competition, there will be many participants participating in this championship. There are already dozens of contestants in my weight class alone. So, I have to compete in a few preliminary rounds beforehand to select the participants for the quarter-finals. After that, I will compete in the quarterfinals." 8
Charlie asked in surprise, "You have already reached the final round of the knockout? How many matches have you competed in already? Why didn't you tell me anything about this?"
When Charlie heard this, he said jokingly, "52kg? Isn't that about 115 pounds, then?” 5
"Yes!"
Charlie teased her deliberately as he smiled and said, " Haven't you heard that a good woman should not weigh over 110 pounds? You have to try and lose some weight!" 6
Aurora hurriedly replied, "No, Master Wade! The weight class of the International University Combat and Fighting Championship is not actually divided according to our actual weight. For instance, as long a s anyone is below 48kg, they will be put into the 48kg weight class. If a person is between 48kg to 52kg, they will be listed in the 52kg weight class. I am 49.5kg, and that is equivalent to 109 pounds! I did not exceed 110 pounds yet! If you don't believe me, I can weigh myself in front of you when you see me later!” s
Charlie laughed as he said, "I'm just kidding around with you. You don't have to get angry."
Aurora replied, "I am not angry. I am just afraid that you will misunderstand me and think that I am a fat girl! I am 170 centimeters tall and it is already a great achievement for me to keep my weight within 110 pounds! All of my classmates say that I have the perfect figure!” ~i
Charlie smiled as he said, "Yes, yes, okay. The feisty young lady, Aurora, has a perfect figure. I know it now."
