He couldn't help but sigh, envy their free time before school starts, and wonder who had stolen his vacation?
Then he plopped down between them, grabbed the remote control, and assumed a commanding presence.
"Elementary kid, haven't you started school yet?" Ke Mingye asked.
"In a couple of days, and I'm about to be a junior high student…" Ke Yongzhu replied while munching on a chip, "Call me an elementary kid again, and one day, I'll turn into a dragon and tie you to an elementary school gate."
