Chapter 183 With Your Small Body

Li Jing finished her words angrily and wanted to drink again, but there was no wine on the table; the bottles had been cleared away.

Tian Xin quickly added water to her cup and said with a smile, "Jing, do you know what the most regrettable thing in life is?"

"What? Love and separation, hatred and reunion?" Li Jing asked with her big eyes blinking.

Lin Zhou silently followed up: "It should be that I can't get the love I want! I can't get it!"

"..." Zhang Shuai was about to say this, but he was interrupted by him. He rolled his eyes in anger.

Tian Xin looked at the expressions of the others and couldn't help but shook her head and laughed: "Neither of them!"

"What is that?"

"You have already given the answer!" Tian Xin said with a smile.

"What?"

"Wake up, my Jing!" Tian Xin looked at Li Jing with her eyes wide open and a confused look on her face, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.

Li Jing's eyes widened at the sudden teasing. She covered her face and asked, "What does consciousness awakening mean?"

"It means that you have a clear mind and understand life!" Zhang Shuai interrupted.

"Yes, I think the biggest regret in life is not doing the right thing at the right age. Such regrets may not be able to be made up for later.

Now that you realize that you have been carried along by your parents, think about it for a moment. If you were to leave your parents now and have nothing, what would you do?

"What else can you do? Just go back and do your old job honestly!" Li Jing said dejectedly.

"Besides that?"

"Other than that, you can only serve dishes and wash dishes!"

"No, find your strengths!" Tian Xin suggested.

"Specialties?" Li Jing thought for a moment, then counted on her fingers: "Do painting, computers, Sanda, and running count?"

"Calculate!"

"Painting, computers, Sanda, running, singing, weightlifting, playing guitar, I also know a little bit about finance, and recently I've been researching your online store."

Li Jing said: "These are almost there!"

"Well, that's good. You have so many interests and hobbies. It shows that you like to explore and have a thirst for knowledge."

"You're right!" Li Jing said excitedly, "You understand me!"

"Since you have so many hobbies, if you were asked to pick one as your long-term career, which one would you most like to do?"

"Pick one?" Li Jing was embarrassed: "How do I choose?"

"Just find what you are best at and what you are most interested in sticking to!"

"This... is too difficult! I'm interested in every one of them!"

Tian Xin didn't say anything, she took out a notebook and pen from her bag and handed them to her: "Write it down and then choose!"

Li Jing hesitated for a few seconds, then took the pen and quickly listed the interests and hobbies she had just mentioned on the paper.

“Now, find the one thing you least want to do and cross it off!”

This time, Li Jing didn't hesitate and quickly crossed out the "drawing" option.

Lin Zhou took a look, his eyes filled with speechlessness.

Tian Xin raised an eyebrow. "Continue! Now cross out the three things you think are impossible to pursue as careers. Don't hesitate, be firm."

Li Jing hesitated and crossed out singing, running and playing the guitar.

"Can you continue?" Tian Xin asked: "If you can, cross out three more items!"

This time Li Jing was very conflicted. She looked at the remaining options on the paper and hesitated to write.

"What? You still plan to support yourself by lifting weights and fighting?" Zhang Shuai said with a smile:

"With your small body, can you do it?"

"You're so small, who are you looking down on?" Li Jing said defiantly, "I've been lifting weights for seven years, and you might not even be able to beat me in arm wrestling!"

"Oh, let's fight!" Zhang Shuai was aroused and stretched out his hand towards Li Jing: "Come on, come on, give it a try!"

"Go ahead and try! I'm not afraid of you!" Li Jing twisted her wrist, snapped her hand, and tightened her grip on Zhang Shuai's. She sternly said, "If you lose, don't say I bullied you!"

"You should say this to yourself!" Zhang Shuai said with a smile, "If you really can't do it later, don't force yourself. I'll let you go. Just don't cry!"

"Stop talking nonsense and start!"

At Li Jing's command, the two men exerted their strength at the same time, starting the contest between men and women.

Li Jing's wrist is slender, and when placed next to the arm of an adult man like Zhang Shuai, the contrast is too obvious.

But she showed no sign of weakness. Even though the veins on her arms bulged and she looked like she was trying extremely hard, the strength disparity between men and women was huge, and she watched as her arm fell to the side.

As a result, the sister refused to accept the defeat. She gritted her teeth and tried to force herself back, with expressions becoming ferocious on her face.

Zhang Shuai looked at her, and suddenly an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. He was teasing Li Jing like a child the whole time. Tian Xin could hardly bear to watch it anymore.

After three ups and downs, Zhang Shuai unfortunately "lost" with Li Jing gritting her teeth and shouting "Ah"!

"What's the matter?" Li Jing panted and challenged Zhang Shuai: "Do you accept it? Are you going to tell me that I'm too small?"

"I'm convinced!" Zhang Shuai laughed so hard his head trembled, and gave a thumbs-up: "You're awesome! You're awesome! I admit defeat!"

"Just admit defeat. Even though you're a man, we women can still kill you without a single piece of armor left if we're determined!" Li Jing narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists, looking like a heroine about to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. "Don't you agree, Xin?"

"Yes, yes, you're right!" Tian Xin laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter. "Keep going, don't forget the business!"

"Oh, right, right!" Li Jing sat down again and picked up the pen: "Your brother disturbed me and I almost forgot!"

At this time, the only options left on the paper were "weightlifting, Sanda, finance, computers and opening an online store".

Li Jing frowned, wavering indecisively: "To be honest, if I delete any more, my life will be incomplete."

"Then don't delete it!" Tian Xin put down the half-eaten chicken wing in her hand, wiped her hands carefully, looked up and smiled.

Li Jing was still waiting for the second half of her sentence, but Tian Xin only said these few words and nothing more. She had no choice but to ask: "If you don't delete it, what next?"

"Next, find what you most want to do among these options and see which ones have something in common!"

"Commonalities?" Li Jing frowned, scratched her head with her pen, and asked suspiciously, "Lifting weights and Sanda... what can they do? A fitness trainer?"

“No, no, no,” she said before rejecting the idea: “This is too tiring, I can’t do it!”

"Then continue crossing it out!" Tian Xin said.

Li Jing hesitated, thinking for a long time but still didn't write anything down: "No, although I know I may not be a fitness coach, this is an alternative option and cannot be crossed out."

"Alternative options?" Tian Xin glanced at the remaining options and smiled, "Would you consider working in this industry within two years?"

"That's unlikely, right? I'm not that short of money!"

"Then why should it be an alternative?"

"...There's nothing else to say!" Li Jing spread her hands and shrugged. Judging from her expression at the moment, Tian Xin felt that she must be quite helpless.

"So, this is just a safety net you added to yourself. It's actually useless!" Tian Xin picked up the pen and handed it to her: "Cross it out!"
