247 Dancing
After watching the academy's cultural performance on the morning of the 30th, Da Luo went home and then had a two-day vacation.
Li Wei had a professional class in the morning. After finishing the class, she packed her things and left quickly, causing Xu Ting, who had been watching her, to lose sight of her.
Xu Ting asked Tang Ying with great frustration, "What happened? Where did Li Wei go? She was just here a moment ago."
Tang Ying shrugged: "She went home. She said she wasn't feeling well, and you didn't ask me to watch over her."
Tang Ying knew that Li Wei didn't like participating in group activities. She felt that these things should be done voluntarily, and there was no need to force her. So she disapproved of Xu Ting dragging Li Wei into everything she did.
What she particularly disliked was that Xu Ting loved to flirt with pretty people, claiming that beautiful people have many stories and that life is more exciting.
Tang Ying was clearly not within Xu Ting's target group.
Actually, Tang Ying looks pretty good, but she's too honest. She looks like a well-behaved and obedient student, not someone you can really get close to.
As for Li Wei, although she seemed to be well-behaved, Xu Ting and Ma Liya privately observed that she had an indescribable charming and languid air about her. She looked at everyone indifferently, even when she looked at beauties like them, without any sense of amazement or even a furtive glance. It was no different from how she looked at Tang Ying. This made Xu Ting, who always had a penchant for glamorous things, very uncomfortable.
So he always liked to chat with Li Wei whenever he had a spare moment, and he was always enthusiastic about any activities.
Unfortunately, Li Wei's heart wasn't in it, and she never had the opportunity to learn more about it.
But this afternoon's party was different. A first-year class from the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Science and Technology had formed a friendly class relationship with their class. The girls who came together today, along with the class's student union secretary Xiao Ning, encouraged everyone to participate before school ended. They also organized the students to start cleaning up the classroom.
Li Wei couldn't help but associate Jiang Xiaoshi with Gao Yue, so she always kept her distance. Some seemingly generous girls aren't actually that generous inside. In her current situation, it's best to stay away from any potential risks.
As for the dozen or so boys in the class, they were usually behind a large group of chattering girls. Their presence was really limited, so Li Wei didn't remember them much.
Li Wei returned home. First, she checked on the children, making sure their diapers were wet. She gave them some water and milk, and held them one by one. Before she knew it, it was lunchtime.
Da Luo had just finished watching the performance and was heading home for lunch. His roommate, Zou Yulong, followed behind. As soon as Zou Yulong entered, he yelled, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! How are my nephews doing, haha..." Da Luo slapped him shut.
"Shh—, keep your voice down. The babies might be asleep." These days, everyone at home walks with their feet barely touching the ground. She wouldn't tolerate anyone being so arrogant. She covered her mouth and nodded. Li Wei, who had just come out of the nursery, was overjoyed. She smiled and said, "It's okay. They're all awake."
Upon hearing this, Zou Yulong rushed in without saying a word. The thought that those little ones were the offspring of the youngest in their dormitory filled him with excitement, as if they were the children of their dormitory.
Before they even reached the nursery door, the baby's father stopped them: "Take off your coat, you're feeling cold. And aren't your hands warm? Don't let my baby get cold..."
Seeing that his words were becoming increasingly absurd, Li Wei quickly pulled him aside, saying, "Don't listen to his nonsense. They're not that precious. If you want to see them, go ahead and see them." Turning to Da Luo, she added, "Don't act so neurotic. Other kids, like the third son, might not even want to see them."
Zou Yulong nodded repeatedly, then took off his coat and handed it to Da Luo: "Don't stop me, I have to see it. These are the first kids in our dorm, haha..." Before he could finish speaking, he crawled inside.
Li Wei took Zou Yulong's cotton-padded coat from Da Luo and hung it up, then instructed Aunt Gao to prepare dinner.
Da Luo, worried about Zou Yulong, followed him into the nursery, only to find two nannies there as well, which relieved him.
When there are no outsiders, Li Wei usually asks Aunt Gao and the nanny to eat with them. But when there are guests, Aunt Gao refuses to sit at the table no matter what. Over time, Li Wei got used to it.
So there were only three people at the table. Zou Yulong had been there twice before. At first, he felt a little awkward, but after seeing that Luo Laosi and his wife were quite used to it, he got used to it too.
Li Wei still has a good appetite because she is breastfeeding her child, and she eats an extra bowl of rice than usual. Just as she finished one bowl of rice and was about to have a second bowl, Aunt Gao told her that there was a phone call for her.
Li Wei put down her chopsticks and went to the living room to answer the phone. It was Xu Ting calling. Li Wei felt a headache coming on as soon as she heard her voice. She said helplessly, "What's up?" She guessed it was about Xu Ting wanting her to attend the party again. Knowing that Li Wei could dance, Xu Ting wanted to dance a duet with her.
Li Wei thought this excuse was pretty flimsy. By then, there would be plenty of guys asking her to dance, so how would she have time to be bored with her?
Before Li Wei could finish speaking, Xu Ting launched into a barrage of questions: "You're so unfair! I asked you to go shopping with me at Christmas, but you absolutely refused. Now it's almost the end of the year, and you're not even participating in the class activities. It's outrageous! I'm the host, you should at least give me some face. Our advisor and class monitor just discussed it, and we're all going to have a good time, take some pictures, and as for getting to know the other students better, I won't go into details, you understand the basics..."
Li Wei felt her head was spinning. How did she suddenly become a withdrawn person who didn't care about the class and didn't like to interact with others? What did this all mean?
Li Wei was really annoyed by her nagging. "I'll go over later. I'm not feeling well, and it's so cold outside, it's even snowing. I'll try my best, but if I really can't make it, don't blame me. I'm really afraid of the cold. You can hang up now. Okay?"
Seeing that Li Wei was being perfunctory, Xu Ting had Jiang Xiaoshi and Ma Liya bombard Li Wei with questions, leaving her dizzy and disoriented. The three of them felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Hehe...did they rescue a classmate with an awkward, unsociable personality? Hehehe...
Li Wei returned to the dining table and continued eating. Da Luo asked, "Who called? Why did it take so long? What happened?"
Li Wei took a sip of soup to calm herself down and said helplessly, "My classmate is insisting that I attend a class party tonight, but I don't want to go. She asked two people to persuade me to go, to 'save the weird female college student.'"
Da Luo thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go take a look? I'll take you there..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zou Yulong perked up: "Hehehe, I'll go take a look too, we can go together. By the way, I'll participate in your class's activities, I won't be turned away."
Li Wei shook her head. Anyway, there were still a group of science and engineering students. She figured one more Zou Yulong wouldn't make a difference.
Li Wei hadn't really wanted to go, and if she was going, she'd go later. She'd just go home and sleep; it was so cold outside, how comfortable it would be to lie in a warm bed. But seeing how eager Zou Yulong was, she couldn't say anything. She dried her hair, changed her clothes, and went to the living room. Zou Yulong was already impatient.
As soon as Li Wei came out, he hurriedly went up to her: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law. When are we leaving? Hehe..."
Li Wei —
Da Luo, who was watching TV on the sofa, couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Zou Yulong away: "Please let my wife rest for a while. Do you have to be in such a hurry!"
Zou Yulong said with a bitter face, "So you're not in a hurry even though you have a wife and kids, while I'm still far from settled. You should help your brother out, I'm going to take this opportunity to infiltrate the Foreign Languages Department of the Teachers' College, hehe..."
Li Wei and Da Luo exchanged a glance. Li Wei shrugged helplessly and said, "Let's go."
Li Wei put on a hooded coat with a thin woolen outer layer and rabbit fur lining, along with cotton boots. Da Luo noticed that she had just taken a shower and her hair was still damp, so he put the hood on her head.
He was still wearing his usual cotton uniform jacket, with a sweater underneath, jeans, and hiking boots. He wasn't wearing a hat, only leather gloves. He wasn't afraid of the cold. If Li Wei hadn't forced him, he probably wouldn't have worn the thick fleece pants underneath, and he would have just worn flip-flops instead of thick-soled, warm hiking boots.
Without Li Wei keeping an eye on them, they'd probably be in a similar situation to Zou Yulong and the others, wearing only thin pants and shoes, arms crossed. Although they weren't afraid of the cold for a short time, they'd still shiver after being outside for a while.
It was completely dark outside. Because it was New Year's Day, there was a festive atmosphere everywhere, and the entire campus, all the way to the Teachers' College, was brightly lit. They drove into the campus, parked in a parking space in front of the office building, and the three of them got out.
Snowflakes were already falling in the dark night sky. The weather was not cold and there was no wind. It was a rare comfortable day. Li Wei looked up and felt relaxed, her initial reluctance completely gone.
He grabbed Da Luo's hand and said, "Come on, let's go take a look. Let's start with our class, then wander around to other classes. It seems like a lot of classes end with a dance. Let's wander around and find a class we don't know well, and we can dance there too... Oh, right, if my classmate asks, don't say a word. I'll do the talking, remember that."
After giving her instructions, Li Wei turned around to look for Zou Yulong, but he was nowhere to be found.
Since he had run off first, Li Wei and Da Luo were even less in a hurry. They were too lazy to go back to their classrooms first. Instead, they decided to see which classroom was the most lively, had the most people, and had the most beautiful lights. The two of them strolled over there at a leisurely pace.
Unfortunately, Li Wei underestimated the students' love of excitement. In any class they thought was particularly well-organized, the crowds went beyond mere excitement; it was so dense that it was impossible to squeeze in.
Finally, they found a classroom with few people near the physics department, and Li Wei dragged Da Luo along, insisting that they dance, otherwise it would be a waste of their day.
This guy also knows how to do it, although he hasn't really danced much. But Li Wei and he had practiced at home before. He's also very athletic and learns quickly, so there were basically no problems. They danced a slow waltz and a cha-cha in the classroom. Li Wei spun around a few times, feeling quite cheerful. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to like the sport as much as she did, and he wasn't very engaged. Li Wei just treated him like a pole dancer's stunt partner.
In his heart, however, he thought to himself, "Really, he dances so well at home, why is he so reserved outside? This isn't like him at all."
As Li Wei walked out of the physics department classroom, she asked a certain university student with a puzzled expression.
As a result, someone looked Li Wei up and down intently and said, "At home, you can jump all the way onto the bed, but you can't do that here."
Li Wei —
This guy is way too focused on practical benefits; apparently, there are no material incentives here.
