218 appeals
Li Wei opened the wardrobe, and Luo Dazao, having overheard Li Wei and Li Lin talking, peeked out, but Li Wei pushed him back inside: "What's the rush? Wait a minute."
Helpless, Luo Da had no choice but to remain imprisoned in the pile of clothes, watching helplessly as Li Wei rummaged through the clothes, finally grabbing a garment and closing the wardrobe door behind her.
Darkness returned to Luo Da's eyes.
Li Wei opened the door a crack and handed the small T-shirt to Li Lin: "Here you go, no need to return it. Remember your words, and don't borrow clothes so often in the future."
Li Lin couldn't help but smile, snatching the clothes away: "You're so stingy! Humph, we'll talk about it next time, hehe..."
Li Wei —
Li Lin ran off briskly. Li Wei peeked into the corridor, saw no one, and closed and locked the door.
Instead of immediately letting Luo Da go, she leaned against the wardrobe door where Luo Da was standing: "Hey, when did you come into my room? I remember Xiao Hui was with me before I went to sleep last night. Did you see him when you came in?"
Luo Da: "Let me out first. You know how stuffy it is in here?"
Li Wei said calmly, "I don't know. I've never been inside. Answer my question first, or you can stay inside." After saying that, Li Wei lowered the small latch on the outside of the cabinet door, so that unless Luo Da broke down the door, he wouldn't be able to get out.
Luo Da pushed the door, but couldn't open it, so he had no choice but to answer all the questions.
Li Wei's main point wasn't that. She had already thought it through last night. Looking at the situation, she might end up spending her life with Luo Da. If Luo Da became like her father, she couldn't handle the stress. She certainly didn't want to end up like her third aunt, constantly chasing after mistresses. Just thinking about it made her exhausted.
Besides, she didn't practice martial arts for this purpose.
In this life, so many interesting things haven't been done. So many delicious foods haven't been eaten. So many beautiful clothes haven't been worn. So many pretty pieces of jewelry haven't been worn. So many fun places haven't been visited. So many handsome men haven't been seen… and who knows, one day you might time travel or disappear altogether. And all you do in your free time is get angry, upset, steal, do other silly and irresponsible things. What's the point of living like that?
Therefore, Li Wei decided to give Luo Da a warning from time to time. "Don't do evil because it's insignificant. Don't neglect good because it's insignificant. Don't follow your uncle's nonsense."
Li Wei said calmly, "Yesterday I went to a group fight with my third aunt and found that my third uncle's behavior was really pointless. What are your thoughts?"
Luo Da was holding back inside. Upon hearing Li Wei's words, he quickly grasped the gist of her meaning. She was asking him to express his determination. Having just woken up that morning with some thoughts, he cleared his throat: "I won't be like my dad. Don't worry. We'll live a good life together. No one is allowed to cause trouble. We'll go to work during the week, and go camping or traveling during our time off. We must pursue some sophisticated pleasures. We'll be happy every day, no fighting, no swearing, no brawling. What do you think?"
Li Wei thought about it and it seemed to make sense. But subjectively speaking, her third uncle and his family should have been very loving back then. However, as time went by, sordid things started to happen. With someone else getting involved, internal and external factors combined, trouble started to brew.
"That sounds nice, but what if a young, beautiful, eloquent, and charming woman took the initiative to seduce you? Don't say she was seducing you; it takes two to tango."
This assumption is really hard to come up with, but it's really stuffy here: "Don't worry, don't worry, in my heart you are the youngest, most beautiful, and most eloquent woman in the world. I'll let you seduce me, I won't pay attention to anyone else. Please let me out, it's a bit hot here."
It was indeed a bit much to ask him to think about such things at this point, so Li Wei simply stopped pressing the issue. However, it was still necessary to instill some correct and beneficial viewpoints in her, gradually brainwashing her so that she would surely achieve great things in the future.
Li Wei said, "Let me tell you, we grew up together. I never looked down on you because you're dark-skinned, prone to fighting, and have a bad temper. But those women outside are different. They all have reasons for hooking up with you. Generally, there are three reasons. One is because you're handsome. Well... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people just like someone as dark and strong as you, so they insist on following you. But this usually doesn't last, after all, looks can't put food on the table. The second reason is because you're rich, like my third uncle. More women will be attracted to a man because of his money. After all, everyone has to make a living, so it's understandable. As long as you keep having money for them to squander, there's no problem. Once you run out of money, they'll run away. The third reason is because you're both good-looking and rich. That way, they get both the man and the woman. If they don't desperately pursue and seduce you, they're a fool..."
After talking for a while, Li Wei felt a bit thirsty. Luo Da hadn't responded and didn't know how to cooperate, so she knocked on the wardrobe door: "Hey, give me some advice, can you hear me?"
Still no sound.
Li Wei asked again, but there was still no response.
Li Wei got scared, quickly unplugged the latch, opened the closet door, pulled back the clothes, and almost burst out laughing.
Luo Da was hunched over, his face flushed with sweat, staring at her...
Li Wei gave an awkward laugh: "Well... why didn't you say you were hot? I thought you had passed out from holding it in."
Luo Da jumped out, took a long breath of fresh, cool air, took the towel Li Wei handed him, and wiped the sweat from his face and neck. His vest was soaked through, and Li Wei felt very guilty.
I feel guilty, but I still have to say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done, otherwise all that closing down would have been for nothing... and I'd really scolded him too much.
"Haha...did you hear what I just said?" Li Wei blinked and stared at Luo Da.
After finishing his work, Luo Da casually tossed the towel onto the bedside table: "I'm so hot, my ears are ringing, I couldn't hear anything clearly."
After saying that, he sat on the bed and helplessly shrugged.
Li Wei: "Huh? You really didn't hear me at all? Then all my talking was for nothing!" Who knows when I'll get another chance to do something like this, something that can be done on the spot. Besides, she might not even remember what I said.
Li Wei became increasingly frustrated. She sat down next to Luo Da, dejected.
Luo Da glanced at her and rubbed his chin: "Actually, I heard some of it too. Which sentence are you referring to?"
Li Wei said without much hope: "It's that one about the three reasons why women seduce you; everything else is secondary."
Luo Da pretended to be deep in thought: "Apart from this, I seem to remember the others a little bit."
Li Wei didn't react at first, and it took her a while to come to her senses. She pounced on him and started beating him up: "You liar, you dare to play me for fools. I'll beat you to death, just like my third aunt beats up the mistress."
The two immediately burst into laughter and playful banter.
As for Luo Da going out in the morning, he did so quite openly, which made Li Ma and Cheng Min, who saw him, very wary as they looked Luo Da up and down several times: "Jianhua, you're here quite early? When did you arrive? I didn't see you."
Luo Da scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Good morning, Aunt Li. I was out for a run this morning and just happened to be passing by. I came in to see Xiaoming, and she said she wanted to get up and run with me. But then she said she couldn't. Aunt Li, you're busy. I'm leaving now."
Cheng Min watched Luo Da's retreating figure with suspicion. His vest was indeed a little damp with sweat, but she couldn't tell anything wrong with it. After muttering a few words, she went to the kitchen to see if breakfast was ready.
Luo Da had just finished breakfast when he received a call from his third senior brother, inviting him and Xiao Ming to his house for lunch. His wife, Ji Xiaoqian, was personally cooking and warmly invited the two of them to the banquet.
Luo Da was a little confused. Wasn't Ji Xiaoqian unable to cook? Why was she inviting them to dinner? Was her cooking even edible?
When Luo Da went upstairs yesterday, almost everything that was going to happen had already happened, so he naturally didn't know that Ji Xiaoqing had caused some trouble. This morning, after finishing her night shift, she went to her sister's house to cry and complain.
Since it was the weekend, the third senior brother didn't go out. He stayed in bed late this morning. Ji Xiaoqian went out to buy breakfast and brought her sister back with her.
Then the couple heard Ji Xiaoqing crying on the sofa, "Brother-in-law, sister—waaaah."
Ji Xiaoqian panicked when she saw this and quickly hugged her sister: "Don't cry, don't cry, what's wrong? Who bullied you or what happened? Tell me, don't cry, tell me..."
So, with tears streaming down her face, Ji Xiaoqing accused Li Wei of being arrogant and domineering, of pushing her over and over again, and of threatening her with a broken bottle, saying she would slash her face and pull out all her hair so she would be too ashamed to show her face to anyone.
Ji Xiaoqian listened and got angry. Her sister was pretty and clever, and everyone liked her wherever she went (this was a misconception). Why did Li Wei always like to cause trouble for her?
At the last wedding banquet, my sister told her that Li Wei had been speaking coldly to her, and now she had actually hit her. It's too much of a bully!
Even if you have money, you can't do whatever you want. Ji Xiaoqian angrily called out to her husband, asking her third senior brother to uphold justice.
The third senior brother was quite familiar with Li Wei, and he didn't think Li Wei was the kind of person they described. He didn't make a hasty decision, but looked at his wife and sister-in-law and said truthfully, "I've known Li Wei for a while now. She's very sensible and polite, and easy to get along with. She's not spoiled or arrogant. Do you have some misunderstanding?"
Ji Xiaoqing had been holding her breath all night. She wiped away her tears and shouted, "What misunderstanding? All I did was try to break up the fight! She wouldn't let me, and she even pushed me. Why didn't she push someone else? And she used so much force! My tail still hurts, boohoo."
While comforting her sister, Ji Xiaoqian glared at her husband: "No matter what, you shouldn't have hit her! You're such a close relative, why don't you look after your family? What kind of misunderstanding is this?"
The third senior brother was a little distracted after being charmed by his wife and didn't take the matter too seriously. He could only say, "Alright, alright, Xiao Qing, don't cry anymore. I'll call them to come over and chat later. We can't always listen to you. We should try to get along well in the future. They are my junior brother and sister-in-law."
And so, Luo Da and Li Wei were invited to a treacherous banquet.
