142 means I'm smarter than you

Finally, there was silence in Li Wei's room. Luo Da came out with a wine bottle and went to the bathroom.

Ding Anni rushed in and immediately spotted Li Wei lying on the bed in a spread-eagle position. Her clothes were on, but her hair was a little messy. Ding Anni went over and asked, "Little Weiwei, how are you?" She looked so pitiful.

Li Wei didn't move, and said irritably, "You won't die. Go out and tell Li Lianhui that he refused to help someone in distress. See how I deal with him! Also... call your brother and have that Luo Da arrested. The reason is... abuse of women and children. If that's not enough for a few days, add another charge: hooliganism! Go now! Ouch, my arms and legs!"

Ding Anni didn't move, and asked cautiously, "Do your arms and legs still hurt now?"

Li Wei moved around, and the pain was much better, but now that her internal injuries had healed, she had external injuries. Luo Da had just pressed down on her arms and pinched her legs, and her skin was probably broken.

Li Wei pounded the bed, exclaiming, "My God, is this some kind of life-or-death situation? Why does their village keep producing these kinds of people who force themselves to help others?"

I thought we were rid of the old veterinarian, but then another junior veterinarian rose to prominence. Isn't this going to be the death of us?

Li Wei went to the bathroom with a dark face and took a shower to wash away the smell of alcohol. Otherwise, if she went to school, the teacher would definitely kick her out as an alcoholic.

After changing her clothes, it was almost time for class. Luo Da had already left, and there was no one to vent her anger on. Li Wei guessed that he was feeling guilty.

Li Wei and Ding Anni managed to get into the classroom before the bell rang, running and stumbling along. In any case, at least their legs didn't hurt so much when they ran; you wouldn't really notice it unless you paid close attention.

The three siblings didn't go home after school that evening. They had planned to go to the martial arts gym for class after dinner, but Luo Da came over for dinner again.

Li Wei glared fiercely at Luo Da while eating. But Luo Da acted as if he didn't see her and continued eating as before. Li Wei was really annoyed. She tapped the table: "Hey. You always come to my house for meals. Pay up tomorrow!"

Luo Da continued eating as if he hadn't heard anything. Li Lianhui knew what was going on. He went about his business as usual. Li Lin looked at her sister with some confusion: "Why do we have to pay? Did you and Brother Hua have a falling out?"

Li Lianhui secretly kicked Li Lin under the table. Li Lin was hurt and became furious: "Xiao Hui, why did you kick me? It hurts, you know that!"

Li Lianhui was furious. He quickly moved to a place further away from Li Lin to show that he was cutting ties with her.

This actually reminded Li Wei. She continued eating, then kicked Luo Da twice under the table: "Remember to pay for your meal!"

Luo Da was as tough as steel. He didn't react at all. He just kept eating. Li Wei thought maybe she was too weak. She kicked him twice more: "I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?" You little brat, if you're so capable, don't pretend you're mute.

Li Wei kicked three times, and although Luo Da still didn't show much expression, she finally managed to get a good kick from him.

However, Li Wei had at least vented some of her anger. If she could pinch him a couple of times, that would probably be even better… Right, why couldn't she pinch him? It seemed this kid had pinched her quite a bit at lunchtime today. Thinking this, she moved closer to Luo Da, eating with one hand while secretly reaching out with the other. Where should she pinch? Something that was both painful and soft. Actually, the armpit and inner thigh were good choices. But they weren't easy to reach. The waist was better. She quickly pinched a small spot and twisted it a couple of times. Then she let go, moved away, and continued eating.

Luo Da remained expressionless, except when he took a deep breath while picking up food, which accidentally dropped onto the table. Li Lin laughed so hard she almost fell over. Everything else seemed normal.

Li Wei finally felt much more at ease.

However, I secretly admire him; he's truly revolutionary material, tough as nails or unyielding to the death.

The evening class went quite smoothly, although many of the girls were grimacing and moving awkwardly. Coach Li Hai gave them some advice: "Go back and massage your sore muscles regularly. Just keep at it for a couple of days and you'll feel better. Hang in there, or all your suffering will have been for nothing!"

Li Wei glanced at her cousin, who was gritting her teeth and looking utterly miserable; she didn't seem to be suffering either. Li Wei practiced even harder; this was her current goal—to surpass her. She refused to believe that the difference in skill couldn't be that great, since they were both human. She had done her best; if she still got beaten, she wouldn't complain, otherwise it would be truly unfair. Li Lin, on the other hand, impressed Li Wei. This girl was indeed exceptionally talented; she only cried out in pain for a day, and the next day she was perfectly fine, lively and energetic. Judging from her expression now, she seemed completely alright.

Song Xuejiao, standing next to Li Wei, wasn't doing much better either. Her brows were furrowed tightly, and her large breasts jiggled with her movements. Luckily, all the students here were female, otherwise it would have greatly affected the class atmosphere. Li Wei, in any case, was affected, glancing at the scene every now and then, which prompted the instructor to say, "Hey, Li Wei, concentrate. What are you looking at all that time?" Doesn't she know she's a girl?

As usual, Luo Da took the three siblings home that evening. Li Lin and Li Lianhui chatted animatedly with Luo Da on the way, while Li Wei remained silent.

The next morning, Li Lin went home, and Li Wei suspected that the girl had gone back to make pocket money again. Neither Li Wei nor Li Lianhui went home. Li Wei called home and her grandmother to say hello, then ate breakfast and started reading. In the afternoon, she planned to go to the bookstore and visit Ding Ding, as she had to go to her martial arts class in the evening.

Li Lianhui wouldn't get up until the sun was high in the sky, so Li Wei didn't wake him. After having breakfast with Li Lin and seeing her off, she went back to her room.

Put the food in a steamer and wait for Li Lianhui to get up and heat it up before eating.

Before we knew it, it was the end of the month again. This time, without the teacher saying anything, the students had all secretly made preparations for the upcoming monthly exam.

Li Wei didn't cram at all, studying methodically as usual. She treated the exam as just a test; she wasn't necessarily aiming for first place, so she was in a relaxed mood, which made some people uncomfortable. During break, Li Wei was chatting and laughing with her deskmate Lin Xiao and Cai Lianhua when Gao Yue stopped as she passed by Li Wei's desk, seemingly casually saying, "Hey? Li Wei, you seem pretty confident. Are you sure you can get first place again this time?"

Whether I pass the first test or not is none of your business. If Qin Ling is narrow-minded and jealous, at least she doesn't shy away from showing it and is somewhat open and aboveboard. But what about Gao Yue? She seems quite generous and proper, but isn't she just like Qin Ling? Her sneaky and secretive thoughts are even worse than Qin Ling's. That's why Li Wei has never had a good impression of Gao Yue.

Now, hearing her sarcastic question again, he asked with an even more excited expression, "What does this have to do with you?"

Gao Yue shrugged, her expression unchanged: "Can't I just ask?"

Li Wei shrugged, mimicking her: "No way!"

Lin Xiao and Cai Lianhua couldn't help but chuckle to themselves. Gao Yue's expression changed, and she left, leaving behind the comment, "What's so great about that!"

Li Wei continued talking to the two men as if nothing had happened, feeling it wasn't worth letting such people affect her mood.

The monthly exam was scheduled for the weekend, and this time it was all done in one day. Time was extremely tight, and the students were exhausted afterward, with no energy left to review the questions or do math. Those who needed to go home went home, and those who needed to go back to their dormitories went back to their dormitories.

Zhou Xiaoyan was picked up by her family again, and asked Li Wei if she wanted to come along. Li Wei had a martial arts class that evening, so she didn't go home with her.

Li Wei's three weekly martial arts classes already take up a lot of her time, in addition to her regular practice, so she had long ago declined Gao Jin's suggestion to go to the campus radio station. Fortunately, Gao Jin is a pretty easygoing person, and he kept saying it was nothing when he apologized to Li Wei, which made Li Wei think he was a nice and understanding person. So whenever she saw him going to class to find Gong Jianzheng, she would always greet him warmly. The two of them were already acquaintances.

This month's exams weren't as big a deal as the last one. They were all organized by the individual high schools, and Li Lin and her classmates finished theirs on Friday. So she actually got home earlier than Li Wei and Li Lianhui and was waiting for dinner at home.

Luo Da and Li Wei usually ate at Li Wei's house when they had martial arts classes. As usual, they still hadn't paid for the meals. Li Wei had asked for payment twice without success, so she stopped bringing it up. Otherwise, she would feel like she was being treated like a landlord, and besides, her anger had long since subsided.

After the four of them finished eating, they took Luo Da's car to the martial arts gym. Luo Da was still driving his old taxi, which had been repaired. Li Wei took a closer look and couldn't see a trace of the old tree bark anymore.

The car that Li Wei ordered for her aunt was also delivered. To Li Wei's surprise, her aunt didn't fuss about wasting money and readily had the finance department pay for it. Seeing Li Wei's confusion, she smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Do you think I'm your grandmother, who has to be so careful with everything? Now we're a respectable company, and we can't afford to be looked down upon when we go out for business. I was just thinking about what kind of car we should buy to be presentable, and you've already thought of something."

Some things are not about whether you are particular or not, but rather that society naturally requires you to do so. After all, Cheng Fei and the others have not yet reached the point where they can look down on worldly affairs; they still have to struggle in the mundane world.

When Li Wei went to school on Monday, the monthly exam results had already been released. Although Li Wei was still first in her class, she was no longer first in the whole school. Gao Jin scored more than ten points higher than Li Wei and still held the top spot as the number one seed in the first-year group.

Li Wei didn't think it was a big deal. To excel at some things, it's not just a matter of being smart; you also need some talent. She never thought she had that kind of learning talent, or even that she was smart. Her current grades were already pretty good, so she didn't have any competitive spirit.

Li Lianhui, who spends all day playing video games, is not bad either. He got second place in his class. Li Wei felt that this kid only put half his effort into studying, but it was obviously more than last time. The only evidence was that his grades improved.

The one who has made the most progress is Li Lin. Although she is still not as good as Li Wei and Li Lianhui, she is showing signs of becoming the leader in her grade at their school.

However, what surprised Li Wei the most was Luo Da. This time, without Sixth Senior Brother and Cousin Zhong causing trouble, this guy didn't miss the exam. In fact, he accidentally got third place in their class. This barbarian who was always fighting with Sixth Senior Brother every night... really, Li Wei was speechless.

Even Li Wei, who spends all her time immersed in practice problems, is no better off than this. One martial arts class already leaves her feeling overwhelmed, so look at what others are going through...

Sigh, no wonder they call themselves smart, the difference is huge...
