The competition was held at a vocational school, and more than 100 students were selected from across the city. The exam lasted for more than two hours in a large classroom.

Li Wei remained calm (whether she was calm or not, it didn't matter), and finished the exam paper as if she were taking a quiz. The time was just right, and the bell rang to signal the end of the exam.

Compared to the other students who were still deep in thought, Li Wei seemed so relaxed and at ease, which made the teacher collecting the papers look at her a few more times, wondering in his heart, could this be the legendary genius?

There's only a fine line between genius and fool, and Li Wei felt she could stand in the middle.

For those questions she couldn't answer, and it seemed there were quite a few of them, Li Wei strictly followed Luo Da's advice: "Let's just treat it as a walk around, no need to waste our brains."

Li Wei essentially took a walk around the test paper, happily completing the questions she knew how to do and ensuring they were correct, and also happily completing the questions she didn't know how to do, ensuring they were correct as well.

So after leaving the exam hall, Li Wei didn't bother discussing the answers with the others who came with her. She got on the school's tour bus, found a seat, took out the juice that Luo Da had given her before leaving, and started looking around the school while drinking it.

To her classmates, this behavior would be seen as confidence, even though Li Wei was completely clueless.

Although these top students each had their own ideas, they still paid attention to their image and did not show their jealousy so obviously, unlike Qin Ling and Gao Yue.

What Li Wei found appealing were the two boys she knew, Gao Jin and Gong Jianzheng. They behaved quite normally, without the anxious and insecure demeanor of some other students, and they didn't try to find out the answers. They seemed to have come and taken a stroll around as well.

Of course, Li Wei wasn't naive enough to think that the other person was just strolling around like her. Li Wei guessed that the other person had some knowledge or something, and wouldn't be as clueless as her.

It was already dinnertime when Li Wei got back to school. She ran back to the classroom, packed her bag, and went straight home.

The house was quite lively. Li Lin, Li Lianhui, Luo Dading, Annie, and Zhou Xiaoyan were all there. Aunt Gao was busy in the kitchen.

Everyone applauded when Li Wei returned, as if she were a victorious figure. Li Wei felt a little embarrassed about her unserious attitude towards the competition: "Um... well, comrades, you've worked hard."

Li Lin exclaimed, "Commander, you've worked hard!"

Everyone collapsed.

Ding Anni hit the nail on the head: "We're celebrating that you're finally back safe and sound. You weren't devoured by those weird classmates. Those guys... they study like crazy. They only care about people from head to toe. Or they're either incredibly smart like the dean of students. It was so worrying to see you, such a poor little lamb, go there."

Li Wei blinked. "Um... is it that serious? Those are a group of honest and upright kids. Aren't I an honest person like that too?"

Li Wei cleared her throat: "Ahem, actually, I don't judge people by their heads, mainly because I'm not tall enough. As for being exceptionally intelligent, I think I'm alright. I've maintained my intelligence but avoided being bald. I'm basically a perfect student, thank you everyone for your encouragement."

Everyone collectively—

That evening, we naturally had dinner at Li Wei's house. With so many people, it was lively and we ended up consuming a lot more food and wasting a lot of resources.

After finishing their meal, before Ding Anni and Zhou Xiaoyan could say goodbye, Li Wei was pulled away by Luo Da, who was carrying two schoolbags. Watching the door close, Ding Anni and Zhou Xiaoyan exchanged glances, then simultaneously looked at Li Lin, conveying the same thought: What's going on? Is there something going on between them?

Li Lin hesitated for a long time, unsure of what to say. If she said no, she would be lying. If she said yes, it seemed her sister hadn't authorized her to release this news. If she just blurted it out, wouldn't her sister be angry when she got back? She wasn't afraid of her sister, since she had her idol, Brother Hua, to rely on. It was a difficult situation.

Ding Anni and Zhou Xiaoyan dared not ask Li Lianhui, so they kept a close eye on Li Lin. The two were eager to make a big move. If Li Lin dared not to tell, they would fight!

This is outrageous! A sailboat is sailing in a small stream, and trouble has broken out right under our noses. We were only looking at outsiders. If we're not careful, Li Wei might be taken over by our own people!

Speaking of which, weren't there rumors a couple of days ago that she was two-timing? Although Li Wei denied it in front of both of them, and it seems that her innocence was later proven, it's really hard to say what the truth is.

So, Ding Anni and Zhou Xiaoyan stared at Li Lin with wolf-like eyes, waiting for Li Lin, the insider, to reveal exclusive inside information.

Li Lin thought for a while before saying, "Well, it's hard to say. You'd better ask my sister yourself. I'm not involved, so I can't say for sure. Oh well, my sister will be back soon. You guys wait for her. My stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom..."

Li Lin broke through the encirclement and made a hasty escape to urinate.

Ding Anni and Zhou Xiaoyan were left staring blankly, even tempted to scratch at the toilet door, but then they realized it was pointless; Li Lin wasn't Li Wei, and she wasn't so easy to talk to.

But letting Li Wei go was out of the question. The two decided to ask the teacher for leave during evening self-study, bring their schoolbags later, and wait for her while they studied!

Li Lin was so frightened that she ran back to her bedroom and shut herself in, refusing to see anyone.

Li Wei didn't have a martial arts class today, but she had promised to accompany Luo Da to the martial arts gym in the afternoon, so she had no choice but to go with Luo Da. When Luo Da went to train, she stayed there to read, so neither of them would miss the other, and it would be the same.

As soon as the two stepped out of the elevator, they saw several people arguing with the reception staff. Li Wei overheard a bit of what they said, but the gist of it was that the reception staff had miscalculated the tuition fee for a certain student, and that they were demanding payment before the due date had arrived.

Luo Da didn't want to get involved, but Li Wei stopped moving and stood aside, listening intently as the receptionist, a young woman named Tong Liying, was arguing with the man: "These are our class records. You can take a look yourself. See if we made any mistakes in your calculations. You just memorized them. A bad pen is better than a good memory. How come we made a mistake with you out of so many students? Please explain your reasoning..."

"How can you talk like that? How am I being unreasonable? I clearly remember missing one day last month, but there's no record of that absence here. I only missed one class last month, how could I be wrong? No way, get me to your director. There's no such thing as being this unreasonable. It's not about the money..."

Unable to reach an agreement, Tong Liying, pushed to her limit, slammed her hand on the table: "It's such a small matter. Why are you yelling about finding the director and mayor? If you don't believe me, ask the other students in your class if anyone has missed a class..."

The argument itself wasn't anything special. It was easy to resolve, but Li Wei, who was usually quite quiet and refined like Tong Liying, completely changed her usual demeanor. She spoke clearly and decisively, aggressively and unyieldingly. Facing the burly student, she showed no fear and even slammed her fist on the table and chair with great spirit, revealing her true colors as a tough woman.

Luo Dazao was getting impatient and was about to go over when, without warning, another receptionist, who was supposed to be looking for the student's instructor, Little Black Hand, arrived with him.

Two students were with Xiao Hei Shou. Xiao Hei Shou didn't speak, but took the class notes from Tong Liying and glanced at them. He said calmly, "That class was rescheduled because some students had work commitments. I notified them during the previous class. What? You forgot?"

The two students next to Little Black Hand nodded vigorously; they were definitely the second student involved in the incident.

It seemed like there really was such a thing, but he didn't come that day, so he forgot about it and only remembered that he missed class.

The student scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed. Tong Liying didn't say anything, and even helped him save face: "That explains why we had ground class the next day. It's true, I forgot about it if Coach Meng hadn't mentioned it..."

Li Wei saw Tong Liying deep in thought when Luo Da dragged her away. Once in Luo Da's room, Li Wei finally had an idea. Just as she was about to discuss it with Luo Da, he tossed his two schoolbags onto the sofa, picked Li Wei up, and placed her on the desk, his lips already pressed against hers. He'd finally gotten his chance these past two days—

Li Wei was preoccupied with Tong Liying's fierce and domineering nature, and a wonderful idea had just begun to form when Luo Da extinguished it. She was extremely unhappy and gritted her teeth, refusing to cooperate. "Go ahead and play if you want. Anyway, if you dare to eat people again, I'll bite you to death!"

Luo tried for a long time without success. Remembering the time Li Wei had pinched his lips, he didn't dare to be violent. Instead, he pretended to be pitiful and left Li Wei with a mournful expression, looking down into her eyes: "Tell me, what's wrong again?"

He knew that Li Wei wouldn't usually act unreasonably or throw a tantrum; there must be some reason, and nine times out of ten she was picking a fight with him.

Li Wei stared wide-eyed. She didn't feel sorry for Luo Da at all. Anyone who felt sorry for Luo Da should get their eyes checked. They must have terrible eyesight!

"Hey, don't you think you should at least give a heads-up before kissing?" At least give him a flirty look or something. Otherwise, it looks like your third senior brother ambushed you, and even a timid person would be scared half to death.

Huh? He seems to have had plenty of time to prepare, throwing his backpack and hugging him! If you still can't figure out what he's going to do, your nerve transmission speed must be... Now doesn't seem like the time to discuss this.

Luo Da readily agreed: "Can I kiss you now?" Was that his way of asking?

Li Wei ignored this: "Hey, don't you think Tong Liying and Xiao Heishou look like a perfect match standing together (**) hehe..." One looks tough but is actually quite down-to-earth, and the other looks quiet but is actually quite fiery.

With Tong Liying's quick wit and Xiao Hei Shou's taciturn nature, Xiao Meng is in for a rough time. You little punk, I'll teach you a lesson for discriminating against us Northeastern women, I'll find you someone like this to keep you in check, hehe…

Luo Da was frustrated: "I think we're a good match, let's try it out first..."

Li Wei felt a tickle under her armpit, and laughed out loud. Then Luo Da tried it out.
