141 Mongolian Doctors
The next day was Saturday. During a break between classes, Li Wei grabbed Luo Da and asked, "Tell me, when will my back and legs get better? How am I supposed to study if this goes on for too long? It's so inconvenient."
In Li Wei's memory, Luo Da had long been engaged in this kind of heavy physical labor, so he should be an experienced person.
Luo Da has had a masochistic tendency since childhood and has never experienced this before, but he has seen a lot and knows how to deal with it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It should be fine in a few days. It's just a little over-fatigue. If it hurts too much, try to massage it when you have time. It should heal faster. Applying heat should also help."
During recess, Li Wei tried massaging her calves, which made her feel a little better. However, perhaps because she lacked the strength and couldn't bring herself to do it, the deep soreness in her muscles didn't subside, and her hands were quite sore from the exertion.
When I went home for lunch, I walked much slower. Ding Anni helped me like a mother hen, and I secretly rejoiced that I hadn't gone.
Luo Da disappeared at noon today; I wonder if he went to lunch. Ding Anni, on the other hand, is like a cat that has smelled fish. Ever since she witnessed the ambiguous relationship between Li Wei and Luo Da, she has been going over to join in the fun from time to time, hoping to discover something new. She is also considering inviting Zhou Xiaoyan along.
Sigh, thinking about it, can you really blame her? School life is incredibly boring and dull. Even those rumors circulating behind the scenes are just something you sneak a peek at. The guys and girls involved act like they don't even know each other when they meet. It's so tedious! Look how interesting Li Wei's life is!
This was Ding Anni's excuse for coming over for lunch.
Seeing that Luo Dayi wouldn't be back for a while, Li Wei and the other two decided to eat while they waited, as they were all a bit hungry after studying all morning.
They were enjoying their meal when Luo Da arrived, carrying a small bottle of wine. At first glance, it didn't look like wine at all; it was just a small porcelain bottle with a red cap, but a small square red paper was pasted on the snow-white body of the bottle, on which was written a cursive character for "wine"—
This Luo Da is really going too far. He actually wanted to drink alcohol while eating; who does he think he is?!
Li Wei put down her chopsticks: "You want to drink? Let's ask first."
Luo Da placed the wine bottle on the table. He took the rice that Aunt Gao handed him, sat down, and said while eating, "I don't drink. This is for you."
"Huh? Me? I don't drink alcohol." Could it be for Grandpa?
"Let's eat first. I'm starving. We'll talk after we eat."
Luo Da picked up his chopsticks and started devouring the food like a whirlwind. He had no time to dawdle any longer.
After lunch, Li Wei washed up as usual, intending to take a nap. A midday rest would ensure she was energetic for afternoon classes and studies. Once tidied up, she sat on the sofa eating some fruit—freshly harvested green apples. They were fragrant and crisp. Li Wei loved these locally grown apples. The only downside was their short shelf life; the aroma would quickly fade and the flesh would soften, not tasting as good as when they first came on the market.
Ding Anni also took a large one and went into Li Lin's room to eat it.
After finishing his meal and quickly washing up, Luo Da came out of the bathroom and picked up a small wine bottle from the coffee table: "Will you do it yourself or should I help you?"
"Huh? For me? I don't drink," Li Wei replied, pointing to the bottle with some surprise. She was puzzled; what was wrong with Luo Da? He'd been insisting she drink all day.
Luo Da uncorked the bottle and let Li Wei smell it. It had a medicinal smell: "It's medicinal wine. What are you using to make it? For beauty?"
Luo Da—
"No, it's for relaxing muscles and improving blood circulation. Massaging your arms and legs with this will help you recover faster." Not bad, his dad said it was an aphrodisiac after smelling it—
Li Wei had heard of this thing before, and thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. It wasn't good to be in pain every time she moved. She decided to try it on her calf first, and if it worked well, she would extend it to her arms and legs.
Thinking of this, she leaned against the armrest of the sofa and stretched out one leg: "You should help me. I tried it today and my arms are sore. They were already sore enough, but the effect was not very obvious. Let's make it clear first, I'll try it with my calf and see how it goes."
Luo Da didn't say anything. He sat cross-legged on the sofa opposite Li Wei, took one of her legs and placed it on his thigh. He rolled up her loose cotton floral pajama pants to her knees, and immediately a fair and tender leg appeared in front of him. Luo Da was stunned for a moment. He spent all day hanging out with a group of boys, sweating profusely. Suddenly seeing this fair, well-proportioned little guy with no hair was too striking. He was a little uncomfortable.
Li Wei suddenly felt that just eating was a bit boring, so she stomped hard on Luo's thigh: "Turn on the TV." Having a massage while eating and watching TV—this was practically the old man's dream, hehe…
Luo Da didn't say anything, went over and turned on the TV. Just as he was about to come back, Li Wei said again, "Hand me the remote control."
Li Wei found a comfortable spot to lean back, and then, after thinking for a moment, she put two more cushions under her back. She placed the fruit plate on the coffee table next to her, watched the TV series, and ate an apple while holding the remote control in one hand and the food in the other. At first, it was indeed quite pleasant.
But less than two minutes later, he stopped watching TV and even forgot about eating his apple. He stared at Luo and yelled, "Be gentle... Ouch... Slow down, slow down, it hurts so much! You have to go step by step, you know... Ouch, ouch, slow down, be gentle, it hurts so much... This is my leg, not a dog's leg! Why are you using so much force?"
Luo Da couldn't hold back any longer. When Li Wei was silent, he was quite excited touching her calf. Now that she made a sound, it would ruin the atmosphere. He muttered, "I didn't use any force. Does it really hurt that much? It's not like I'm getting a needle prick."
Li Wei stared wide-eyed: "It hurts so much even without applying any pressure... Ouch, be gentle... If you press too hard, I'll end up in the hospital! Hey, I said be gentle, can't you hear me? Never mind, it'll get better on its own in a few days anyway, I'm not pressing anymore." She was sweating profusely from the pain.
She tried to pull her leg away, but couldn't. Luo Da held her ankle like an iron clamp, and she couldn't get it back at all.
Li Wei frowned: "Alright. Then be gentle, really gentle, don't make me heavier after you're done, just think of me as having glass legs. They'll break if you use too much force, go slowly and be gentle." The old man's happiness wasn't so easy to enjoy. She now realized that her small arms and legs couldn't compare to the old man's old skin and flesh.
Especially when she encountered a fierce maid like Luo Da.
She said she was being gentler. Li Wei was trying her best to hold back, but seeing she was about to lose control, she quickly urged, "It's too heavy, too heavy! Be gentle, be gentle! I can't take it anymore... let's rest a bit... phew..."
Luo Da: "I'm not tired."
Li Wei: "You're not tired, but I am. I can't take it anymore... Wait, I forgot to ask you, do you even know how to do it? Don't try to cross the river by touching my leg; if you get across, I'll be in trouble. Do you even know how?"
This is a crucial issue. How could she forget to check Luo Dadi's professional qualifications? With Luo Dadi's skills, what if she accidentally damaged her leg? That would be a serious matter. She only has two legs.
Luo Da felt that this was no longer a massage, but just touching and groping, and yet some people were still not satisfied!
He decided to stop pressing it and see how it went first; he'd never done this before: "Why don't you try it and see if it gets any better?"
Li Wei couldn't detect any guilt or evasiveness on Luo Da's face; he seemed quite professional and confident. Half-believing, she got up from the sofa and took a few steps. Sure enough, the pain wasn't in vain; he felt much better, though his calves still ached slightly. She nodded, "It seems to have some effect, much better than before, not bad... But couldn't you gradually increase the pressure? This is too uncomfortable. I think it's better because I've already inflicted almost all the pain I should have felt over the past few days. Please be gentle!"
While the two of them were discussing this, Ding Anni had been peeking through the crack in the door for a long time, practically bursting with excitement. She wanted to go and report it to Li Lianhui, but then she thought better of it. With such a commotion, unless that guy was deaf, he would have heard it long ago. But she couldn't stand not having someone to share it with. The only person who shared her views on this matter was Zhou Xiaoyan, who had also lived in Li Wei's shadow for several years.
Ding Anni looked back and saw that Li Lin's room didn't have a phone. The only phone was on the coffee table in the living room, but the living room was occupied. Ding Anni was so anxious that she scratched her head.
Li Wei compared her two legs and hardened her heart: "Alright, I won't say anything this time. Hurry up and massage me again, or I'll be late for class this afternoon." It's easy to say but hard to do. In less than a minute, Li Wei couldn't take it anymore: "Ouch, never mind, this is not... Ah, be gentle... This is not something a person should suffer... Ouch, I won't massage anymore."
The pain intensified the deeper into the muscle. Li Wei felt cold sweat pouring down her body. Ignoring everything else, she desperately tried to pull her leg back.
Luo Da wouldn't let go, so Li Wei kicked him with her other leg: "Let go, let go! I'm not free yet! Let go!" The familiar scene reminded her of Old Veterinarian Lin!
The two were arguing on the sofa when Li Lianhui roared, "Quiet down! What's all the noise about? If you shout again, you're kicked out! Can't a person play games? Move over, I want to watch TV!"
Li Wei was almost in tears: "Little brother, I want to go inside, but he won't let me. Look, look, he's holding me and won't let go."
Li Lianhui glanced at her and said, "Then let's go inside together and not get in the way here." He'd spent so much time fussing over such a trivial matter. His sister was such a meek little lamb; she was easy to handle.
Before Li Wei could say anything more, Luo Da had already dragged her away under his arm.
Perhaps God heard Ding Anni's heartfelt words, for the two in the living room moved to Li Wei's bedroom.
Ding Anni was overjoyed. She said, "I knew it! Usually, movies start with the living room and then move on to the bedroom. Now we're finally getting to the main event!"
That silly boy Li Lianhui didn't even care about his sister having a baby, so there's no point in counting on him. As for her, should she try to help? Or maybe she should just find Zhou Xiaoyan to witness this historic moment, the moment when the role model collapses.
So before Li Lianhui could even sit down, Ding Anni rushed over, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and started dialing the phone number in the corridor outside Zhou Xiaoyan's dormitory.
Before Ding Anni could even get through on the phone, she heard screams, threats, and thuds coming from Li Wei's bedroom... But why wasn't Luo Jianhua's voice on the other end?
Ding Anni couldn't resist her curiosity and went over to take a look, but Li Lianhui stopped her: "What do you want to do? Stay put!"
Ding Anni glanced at Li Lianhui's wolf-like eyes, which looked like he wanted to devour her, and hurriedly nodded. She didn't dare to make the phone call. Could it be... that she had accidentally wandered into a bandit's den?
