The TV Battle
Li Ming and Wang Hua were sitting on the sofa.
“I want to watch soccer,” Li Ming said.
“I want to watch a movie,” Wang Hua said.
“What movie?”
“A romance movie.”
Li Ming shook his head. “Romance movies aren’t good! Soccer is good!”
“It’s not good!” Wang Hua said. “Soccer is boring!”
Neither of them spoke for a moment.
Wang Hua sighed. “Fine. I’ll go watch a movie in my room.”
She stood up and left.
Li Ming watched soccer alone. But he wasn’t happy.
He went to knock on Wang Hua’s door. “Do you want to watch a movie together?”
Wang Hua smiled. “Okay.”
