147. The wind stirs the grass

There was a martial arts class in the evening, and Li Lin grumbled that she hadn't finished her test paper and didn't want to go. Li Wei wanted to persuade her that it wouldn't make a difference if she didn't finish the test paper, but then she thought that the final exams were just around the corner, and the martial arts class wouldn't make a difference if she didn't finish the test paper, so she didn't say anything.

However, neither she nor Li Lianhui had any unfinished papers, so they went to class anyway.

Cousin Zhong and Song Xuejiao also came today.

Li Wei thought to herself, "Cousin Zhong, you're taking the high school entrance exam next year. Why don't you put in some effort to study? Why are you practicing so diligently?"

As for Song Xuejiao, she treated high school like university, something I can't compare to.

Both of them arrived earlier than Li Wei. When Cousin Zhong saw Li Wei come in, she greeted her with a humming sound. Song Xuejiao was obviously better and greeted Li Wei rather awkwardly.

Li Wei felt that the two of them should switch places. Otherwise, it should be more natural for them to be from different ancestral homes. Song Xuejiao, you are a normal person, what is there to be embarrassed about?

Sigh, looks like I have a thick skin. I'm not afraid of being caught cheating, but... what a surprise!

After several months of practice, Li Wei's legs are almost fully open, her waist still needs some work, but she feels pretty good about it.

The practice room was heated, so Li Wei and the others were only wearing their sportswear. The class was mostly girls, with only the instructor, Li Hai, being a man. After a while, everyone basically forgot about his gender; although he still maintained his stern demeanor, almost no one was afraid of him anymore. After most of the class, some students who couldn't stand the heat took off their sportswear jackets, wearing only their sports vests or T-shirts underneath. Li Wei, just in case, wore a light yellow, tight-fitting t-shirt with sleeves under her white sportswear, just past her waist; any movement would reveal a glimpse of her fair waist.

Today, we added another practice activity: somersaults.

They've basically practiced all the side rolls. Li Wei has basically passed the test, although she feels she's a bit sloppy. Her legs always feel heavy. She's not as smooth as the coach at rolling.

But somersaults are different. You need a coach to help you at the beginning. Otherwise, it's extremely easy to get injured.

Li Wei was one of the smaller students in the class, either in size or in stature. She always came last in everything. After the coach demonstrated a few times and explained the key techniques, everyone began practicing.

Li Wei watched as each player ran towards the coach. They bent over, pressed themselves to the ground, and then rolled around in a heap. There was ground, but they didn't actually pile up. They fell towards the coach like pillars. There was ground…

Those watching from behind couldn't help but laugh.

Especially Cousin Zhong, who was like a fallen pillar. She knocked the coach off balance. It wasn't that the coach was clumsy. Li Wei looked closely. She was facing away from him, her backside. The young coach didn't know where to reach to steady her for a moment. He hesitated, and almost got hit.

As for Song Xuejiao, her athletic ability was far inferior to that of her cousin Zhong, and being rather plump, she didn't require much attention from the coach. She jogged over to the coach and did a forward roll like a panda, making everyone laugh so hard they couldn't stand up straight. Even the junior coach couldn't help but laugh.

When it was Li Wei's turn, the person in front of her was Cai Lianhua. If you were to say who Li Wei was closest to in the class besides Lin Xiao, it would be Cai Lianhua. She was a very gentle and considerate girl, and she wasn't petty at all. Li Wei got along quite well with her.

The two were also the closest in the martial arts class. She stood right in front of Li Wei. Seeing so many people struggling with that somersault, Cai Lianhua felt uncertain. Being rather shy, she suggested to Li Wei, "How about... you go first? I'm a little scared?"

Li Wei wasn't scared, but she was a little unsure of herself, and immediately agreed. She wasn't much more athletic than others, and estimated that she was only slightly better than Song Xuejiao.

She stood there carefully recalling the key points of the technique, then slowly ran to the coach, bent over and pressed her lower back to the ground, suddenly exerted force in her waist, and kicked her legs... In a flash, her waist was gently lifted, and she stood there steadily. She actually... succeeded!

Li Wei couldn't help but grin as she looked at the coach, Li Hai nodded: "Not bad, keep up the good work."

Li Weile jumped up with a cheer and pounced on the busty Song Xuejiao. She originally wanted to hug Cai Lianhua, but Chai Lianhua had already run up, so she decided against it. As for Song Xuejiao, she had been drooling over those big breasts for a long time and really wanted to try them out.

As a result, Song Xuejiao blushed bright red after being hugged by her.

Actually, Li Wei doesn't need to envy Song Xuejiao too much. She's quite well-developed for a girl, considering she's had a lot of weight gain and exercise, just not as exaggerated as Song Xuejiao. She has good proportions—curvy where she should be, slim where she should be—a small waist and long legs. But girls always feel they're not curvy enough or slim enough; no matter how slender a girl seems, no one is truly satisfied with their figure.

Just like Li Wei, Song Xuejiao also felt that she was a bit too fat. She secretly envied Li Wei for being slim, good at studying, and good-looking. She felt like a fat pig.

It seems that Li Wei thought she had a good figure, so although she still had some reservations about Li Wei because of Luo Da, she didn't dislike her.

Especially when Li Wei hugged him so warmly, he felt a warm current flowing through his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to the lecherous hand.

Cousin Zhong, standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. What was there to get so worked up about over such a trivial matter? Especially since she'd recently felt that her third aunt was noticeably less enthusiastic towards her than towards Song Xuejiao, she felt quite resentful and gave the two of them a hard snort—

Li Wei: "Hmph, what about you?"

Song Xuejiao: "No, it's you. I didn't do anything bad."

Li Wei: "I didn't do it either."

Song Xuejiao: "You did..." Oh, I wish it was her who did something bad, Third Aunt likes her so much, but that Luo Jianhua... Third Uncle doesn't even care!

Li Wei looked up at the sky and thought, "I am innocent, like a little white rabbit."

After class, Li Wei took out a bottle of water from her bag and drank it. Only then did she realize that Li Lin hadn't come with her. She had to go back to her home near the school tonight, otherwise, how could she leave Li Lin alone?

Li Wei felt a little uneasy. She wondered how Li Lin was doing alone at home. She wouldn't be able to go back with Xiao Hui until later. Thinking of this, she ran to her office to call home, but the line was busy for ages. Li Wei hung up, annoyed. "That brat," she thought, "who's she calling? She's really going on a long phone call!"

I'll have to ask her when I get back. It's so late, and she's still cooking it. Is she having it as a midnight snack?

That evening, Luo Da drove Li Lin and her brother to school. Li Wei got out of the car, rushed upstairs, quietly opened the door with the spare key, gently pushed it open, and stepped lightly into the room.

Li Lin was lying on the sofa, engrossed in a phone conversation. She didn't notice Li Wei until she was right in front of her, and was startled: "Sis...you're back!"

Li Wei could clearly see the tension in Li Lin's expression, as Li Lin covered her face when she looked at the phone. Without saying anything, she nodded, giving Li Lin a cold look, and told her to go inside, take a shower, and change her clothes first. She figured this girl hadn't done anything good, and she'd interrogate her later.

Li Lin watched her sister go into the room. She hurriedly said she'd talk to her later and hung up, glaring at Li Lianhui who was grinning at her strangely, before nervously returning to her own room.

While showering, Li Wei thought about Li Lin. Looking at the girl's face, all flushed with excitement, she wondered if she'd hooked up with some young boy. If not, there was nothing to say, but if that were the case, it would be troublesome. She didn't want to be accused of being rebellious if she spoke too harshly. Li Lin had a temper, after all. Speaking lightly probably wouldn't have any effect. What should she do?

Moreover, it's highly unlikely that Li Lin will admit to it; she's more likely to say she was discussing problems with classmates. Maybe this girl is just making up lies in her room.

She said that a couple of days ago, when the school had its New Year's party, Li Lin came home so late, and a classmate brought her back. She wanted to go with Luo Da to pick her up, but he wouldn't let her. She should have run out and seen which classmate brought her back.

The more Li Wei thought about it, the more suspicious Li Lin seemed. She quickly washed up, dried her hair, put on a bathrobe, tied it, and ran to Li Lin's room. Before Li Wei could even ask, Li Lin calmly said, "Sis, I know what you're asking. Don't ask. Actually, he's my classmate. He's really caring about me and always helps me. His parents are getting a divorce, and he's in a bad mood, so he called me to complain. How could I ignore him? I really was at home doing practice tests today. I'm not lying to you. It's not like what you think between us. Don't worry, I also need to take the college entrance exam, so I can't let it interfere with my studies. I know all that, don't worry."

After Li Lin finished speaking, Li Wei was speechless for a moment. After a long pause, she said, "It's good that you understand. I won't say anything more. I'm leaving."

Li Lin muttered something behind her back, almost startling Li Wei so much she tripped over her own feet.

"You're just worried that I'll fall behind in my studies, but I see that you and Hua Ge get along quite well, and it hasn't affected your studies at all. In fact, it should even have a positive effect on your studies!"

Li Wei thought for a moment, then turned to look at Li Lin with a heartfelt expression: "Little sister, let me tell you the truth, I've actually already fallen behind. If it weren't for your brother Hua holding me back, I would have been admitted to university long ago, and even the gifted youth program. I've been delaying my boss's affairs. Otherwise, how could I be hanging out with you guys? Actually, I'm a genius. All these years, haven't you seen how extraordinary I am?"

Li Lin was genuinely conflicted. Her older sister seemed quite extraordinary; at least she could earn money and buy whatever she wanted without having to ask her parents. Unlike herself, who had to beg her grandparents for money and go through so much trouble. But when it came to geniuses, it seemed a bit...

Li Lin hesitated a bit: "Sister... I don't think... you're that talented..." It seems like you've done quite a few silly things, too many for her to remember.

Li Wei was a little discouraged and waved her hand: "Geniuses are all lonely. It's normal that you don't understand. But there's one thing you should remember, and it's based on my hard-earned experience: puppy love can kill!"

Li Lin really couldn't understand how her sister could have been ruined by puppy love. She seemed to have been living a pretty good life all along. But looking at her sister's grief and indignation, she couldn't bring herself to say anything that would hurt her. Maybe something terrible had happened that she didn't know about. It was best not to rub salt into her sister's wounds.

"I know, sis, I won't do anything stupid." Has she ever done anything stupid? No, that's her sister's specialty.

Li Wei left Li Lin with a lonely silhouette, her heavy steps and damp hair making her look quite serious as she returned to her room.

Is that all? Of course not. Li Wei sat on the edge of the bed, drying her hair, and secretly resolved that after the final exams, she would definitely find Luo Da and investigate that kid thoroughly!

Anyone who dares to mess with the grass near her nest should see if they have the teeth to bite it.
