Chapter 263 Asking for Instructions
As soon as Li Wenting and Gao Ming left, the atmosphere in the house became much more harmonious.
Li Hongbin looked at Han Yi and smiled, "Han Yi, will you practice with me?"
Han Yi was stunned, then smiled brightly, "Okay, uncle, I just want to ask you for advice. I know Xiaoxi learned martial arts from you."
Qin Lan said angrily, "What's wrong with you just after dinner?" But no one seemed to care about what she said.
Han Yi and Li Hongbin walked to the center of the yard, took a stance, and prepared to start sparring. The two stood one in front and one behind, and the air was immediately filled with tension. Li Wenhua stood aside excitedly, watching the upcoming competition with shining eyes.
Li Hongbin attacked first, with a straight punch towards Han Yi. Han Yi quickly turned sideways and nimbly avoided it, while trying to counterattack with a leg sweep. However, Li Hongbin was a veteran soldier. He reacted very quickly. He jumped up lightly to avoid Han Yi's attack, and then pressed down on Han Yi's shoulder with his elbow.
Han Yi did not retreat. He turned on his toes and slid his whole body to the side to avoid the attack. He took the opportunity to push out with his palm. Li Hongbin quickly blocked the palm, with a flash of approval in his eyes, and then grabbed Han Yi's wrist with his backhand.
The two of them fought back and forth, with powerful punches and every move full of power and skill. Li Hongbin's moves were steady and steady, and every punch and kick was full of profound skills, while Han Yi was younger and more flexible, with extremely fast speed and full strength.
Li Hongbin suddenly used a sweeping kick to try to trip Han Yi. Han Yi noticed this move and immediately jumped up to avoid the attack. With the momentum of flying in the air, he pressed down with his knee. However, Li Hongbin was prepared and grabbed Han Yi's ankle and pulled him to the ground. Han Yi had to roll to the side to avoid being suppressed.
After several rounds, although Han Yi had the advantage in speed and flexibility, he was still suppressed by Li Hongbin's calmness and profound skills. Li Hongbin used the last move to hold Han Yi's arm, and Han Yi could only smile and admit defeat.
Li Hongbin let go of his hand, pointed at Han Yi and laughed, "You are clearly letting me win."
Li Wenhua laughed beside him and interrupted, "Who dares to beat his father-in-law? Don't you want to die?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere was particularly joyful. Han Yi rubbed his neck and said to Li Hongbin with a smile: "Uncle, I like your grappling move just now. Can you teach me?"
I don't know whether this is true or not, but it obviously pleases Li Hongbin. He smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I will teach you the trick of this grappling move today."
Han Yi followed Li Hongbin to learn seriously. Li Hongbin demonstrated step by step and taught Han Yi how to exert force and how to control the opponent's joints and balance points.
The whole yard was filled with warmth and vitality.
In the yard next to her, Jiang Li was standing by the wall and watching secretly. She suddenly approached Li Wenxi cautiously, her eyes flashing with admiration: "Sister Xiaoxi, your partner is handsome and awesome. I also want to get into a good university next year."
Hearing this, Li Wenhua came over curiously: "Jiang Li, you said my sister's partner is awesome, why does that make you want to get into a good university?"
Jiang Li looked at Li Wenhua with an expression as if she was looking at an idiot, and said seriously: "Need I say more? Of course it's because you go to a good university that you have more chances to meet a good partner. Do you understand probability?"
Li Wenhua couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Jiang Li, you little girl, you really know how to think."
Li Wenxi also laughed and patted Jiang Li on the head.
In the following days, Li Wenxi would take Han Yi for walks around the island, taking him to see the school where she used to study and the beaches where she often went to the beach.
The two of them walked on the school playground. Han Yi asked softly, "Xiaoxi, how were you bullied before in this school?"
Li Wenxi looked at the familiar corners in the school and recalled, "They called me a country bumpkin, moved my desk, laughed at me, isolated me in class, and even used violence. These things prompted me to practice martial arts and to be admitted to Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School. I didn't want to stay in this school and didn't want to be classmates with those people anymore. So now that I think about it, this is actually a good thing. I also met Teacher Zhao, who led me into the world of math competitions and gave me another way to go. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here today. So during the Chinese New Year, I want to take you to pay New Year's greetings to Teacher Zhao."
Han Yi listened silently. The little Xiaoxi back then was really distressing.
She is always the one who finds a way out in difficult situations. Her optimism and gratitude have brought her to where she is today, and she will go even further in the future.
They walked to the bench beside the playground and sat down. Han Yi suddenly asked again: "Xiaoxi, do you have a bad relationship with Aunt Qin?"
Li Wenxi turned to look at him, a little surprised: "How did you tell?"
Han Yi smiled gently: "You call Uncle Li dad, but I have never heard you call Aunt Qin mom. What's more, you have always been very cold to her, as if there is an invisible wall."
Li Wenxi lowered her head and said softly: "Actually, I have never recognized her as my mother. Maybe I just don't have the mother-daughter relationship. If it weren't for my father and brother, I might not have returned to this home. So, sometimes I envy your relationship with Aunt Fang. I can tell at a glance that Aunt Fang loves you very much."
Han Yi's heart tightened when he heard it, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold her hand.
Li Wenxi smiled and looked into the distance: "But I don't feel any regrets. After all, there are many people in my life who have given me maternal love, such as Aunt Sun, Zhang Shulan's mother, and your mother."
Speaking of Zhang Shulan's mother, Li Wenxi suddenly thought of Zhang Shulan. She couldn't help but say with regret: "Shu Lan didn't come to the island for the New Year this year. She went to her grandmother's house for the New Year."
Han Yi looked at her expression and hesitated before speaking: "Zheng Shunli knew that I was coming to your house for the New Year this year. He told me that he was getting engaged on the fifth day of the New Year and invited us to go."
Li Wenxi snorted coldly, "How dare she invite me to go. Isn't she afraid that I will ruin her engagement party?"
Seeing this, Han Yi quickly added: "Actually, I didn't plan to go to his engagement party either."
Li Wenxi said lightly: "If you want to go, it's your own decision. After all, you are friends with them. I don't want my relationship to be affected by your relationship with Zheng Shunli. After all, you are friends since high school." Especially since she knew that Han Yi and Zheng Shunli had a deep relationship.
Seeing her attitude, Han Yi knew that she was trying not to interfere with him, so he smiled and said, "Then I won't go to his engagement. Can I make another appointment with Chen Hongjun and Zheng Shunli to get together?"
Li Wenxi looked at Han Yi curiously and said, "You can make your own decision about meeting with your friends. Why are you asking me?"
Han Yi said innocently, "You are my partner. Am I not asking for your permission?"
