Looking at Aili, who was crying again, Liu Ming was a bit troubled.
He asked strangely, "Seriously, Aili, what exactly are you worried about?"
"Didn't I say that a tall girl like you is very charming? Why are you still so concerned about your height?"
Hearing this, Aili's face immediately turned red. She fidgeted for a while before finally revealing the reason.
"Because if I'm too tall, it will be hard to find a boyfriend later."
After saying that, Aili immediately covered her face shyly, not daring to look at anyone.
This time, not only was Liu Ming dumbfounded, but even Tomoka and the others, who were familiar with Aili, were a bit stunned.
Although they knew Aili disliked her height before, they never expected the deeper reason to be this.
"So Aili is so mature," Tomoka said, dumbfounded.
"As expected of Aili, not only is her body precocious, but her mindset is also so mature," Maho said in surprise.
"I'm not, I didn't, you heard wrong!" Aili now wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
How could she be so foolish, persuaded by Liu Ming's few words, she inexplicably blurted out her little secret.
Now she truly had no face to see anyone.
Liu Ming looked at Aili speechlessly. Are children nowadays so precocious? They're only in elementary school and already thinking about finding boyfriends.
However, when he thought of Xiao Anzu in kindergarten, he felt that elementary school didn't seem so early after all.
But that thought was quickly dismissed.
It's definitely too early to find a boyfriend at this age, and it has to be too early! You know, Liu Ming's home now has students from kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school, several age groups.
As their guardian, Liu Ming wouldn't allow them to find boyfriends so early.
At least not until college.
No, with his wealth, he could afford to support her even if she became a spinster.
"Big Brother, Big Brother~"
**Liu Ming**'s thoughts were quickly brought back.
He looked at **Airi**, who was still shyly covering her face, and said with a helpless tone, "Seriously, you dislike tall people just because of this little thing."
"This is not a small matter," **Airi** said anxiously, forgetting her shyness. "I'm already 1.7 meters tall. If I grow to 1.8 or 1.9 meters in a few years, who would want to date me?"
"How could there be no one? A child as cute as **Airi**, with such a great figure, will definitely be popular with boys in the future, I guarantee it," **Liu Ming** said comfortingly.
Receiving such a straightforward compliment from **Liu Ming**, **Airi**'s cheeks flushed red again. She muttered, "What if there isn't?"
"If there really isn't, then you can come and find Big Brother. My height is close to 1.9 meters, definitely matching your height," **Liu Ming** said casually.
"Wow, is Big Brother confessing to **Airi**, or proposing? This is so shocking!" **Maho**'s eyes sparkled with stars, constantly looking at the two of them.
"**Maho**, calm down. How can you join in the fun? But, Big Brother is really bold, confessing directly like that, not romantic enough," **Saki** said excitedly, her glasses flashing from time to time.
"Oh, **Hinata** wants to be Big Brother's wife in the future too," **Hinata** also chimed in.
"**Xiao Ming** is really too cunning, making a move on elementary school students," **Miyu** said dissatisfied.
**Airi**'s already flushed face became even hotter. Teased by everyone one after another, she squatted down like an ostrich.
**Liu Ming** looked up at the ceiling in frustration. He seemed to have really said something he shouldn't have just now.
But that sentence just now was clearly just a joke, why were they taking it so seriously?
However, **Airi** seemed to enjoy it, no longer worrying about her height. She looked at **Liu Ming** expectantly.
"Will I be as beautiful as **Xiao Mai**-neechan in the future, becoming the center of attention wherever I go?"
**Liu Ming** was speechless again. How did it involve **Xiao Mai** again?
However, **Xiao Mai** really seemed a bit abnormal. Once she activated her passive charm aura, she would become radiant.
Once she walked on the street, pedestrians would involuntarily be attracted to her.
To make **Airi** more confident, **Liu Ming** certainly wouldn't refute.
He nodded and said, "Does that even need to be said? **Airi** will definitely not be worse than **Xiao Mai** in the future, definitely becoming a charming woman."
**Kisa**, the academic genius, wasn't so easily fooled, but she didn't expose **Liu Ming**'s statement either.
After all, it wasn't completely unreasonable.
She even admired **Liu Ming** a little. He was able to quickly come up with a solution after only just learning about **Airi**'s problem.
You should know that she used to rely on that unreliable excuse to persuade **Airi**.
She had never thought of directly turning the shortcomings into advantages like **Liu Ming** did.
Although the atmosphere was a bit strange, after **Liu Ming**'s persuasion, **Airi** didn't care about her height as much as before.
Just like **Liu Ming** said, confident girls are more charming.
The training continued in an orderly manner.
However, the training time was limited after all. When everyone was exhausted, it was time to end.
What **Liu Ming** didn't expect was that **Maho** and the others seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and they followed behind **Liu Ming** one by one.
Seeing their familiar movements, **Liu Ming** could guess without even thinking that they were definitely planning to follow him back to the restaurant and then freeload a meal as a matter of course.
**Tomoka**'s skin was obviously thinner. Facing **Liu Ming**'s strange gaze, she quickly lowered her head and looked at the ground.
Like **Airi**, **Kisa** still felt very embarrassed about the act of freeloading, her face always red.
The only ones who didn't react were the naturally airheaded **Hinata** and **Maho**, whose skin was as thick as a wall.
**Maho** directly met **Liu Ming**'s gaze and said as a matter of course, "We only have one week, so of course we have to seize the time. Although we can't practice basketball in the evening, we can discuss related tactics."
"Besides, we trained for so long today, we must have a good meal to replenish our energy, otherwise we won't have the strength to train tomorrow."
"Big Brother, you are our coach, you must take this responsibility."
"Oh, **Hinata** really wants to eat the dishes made by Big Brother again," **Hinata** said happily.
"**Xiao Ming**, you are an adult, you can't be so stingy," **Miyu** also chimed in.
With that, what else could **Liu Ming** say? He could only let them do as they pleased.
Seeing that **Liu Ming** didn't object, **Tomoka** and the others immediately became happy. The fatigue on their bodies seemed to disappear, and they walked with more energy.
