Two hundred and thirty lucky bracelets
Luo Da's classmates took advantage of the free time before the New Year to come out and have some fun. After dinner, they went to the martial arts gym for a couple of rounds. When they saw that the dormitory conditions at the gym were quite good, they all asked to stay there for the night.
Luo Da had no objections to the fact that it was both comfortable and fun. He asked his roommates to help take care of things, and with Li Hai and Xiao Meng looking after them, there was plenty of food, drink, and entertainment to enjoy. After settling everyone in, he left with Li Wei, Li Lin, and Luo Er.
But we agreed to go ice skating at the park tomorrow morning.
With so many people around when he got home, Luo Da didn't say much. Watching Li Wei and Li Lin enter the house instead of him, Luo Da suddenly had a strange feeling.
Li Wei doesn't completely belong to him yet. When they meet, it feels like they're having an affair, which makes him very uncomfortable, yet he feels powerless and can only watch.
After gripping the steering wheel for a long while, Luo Er, sitting in the back, felt like he was about to fall asleep. He couldn't help but watch his brother act foolishly: "Brother, don't be ungrateful. Don't think I don't know you two are always secretly having affairs and openly pulling each other along. At least no one at home cares about you. Go try going to other high schools. In our vocational school, even holding hands is done secretly. You should be happy with what you're doing. Hurry up and go home. I'm sleepy."
Luo Da suddenly came to his senses, reversed the car out of the alley where Li Wei lived, and turned onto the sidewalk leading to his house.
He didn't tell Luo Er that he actually felt that he and Xiao Ming were meant to be a family, and that they should be going in and out of the same door every day. He had this feeling since he was a child, and he believed that through hard work, it would definitely become a reality in the future.
Instead of going their separate ways, they should have.
The next day, after Li Wei and her sister had breakfast and changed their clothes, they found their ice skates that hadn't been used in a long time. Luo Da also came over. After chatting with Grandpa Cheng for a few minutes, Li Wei and Li Lin came downstairs. Luo Da didn't see Li Lianhui and asked Li Wei, "Where's Xiaohui? I haven't seen him at all."
Li Lin blurted out, "I went skiing with my classmates yesterday. They wouldn't take me if I wanted to go. I suspect they brought some female classmates along, afraid I'd find out and they'd leak the secret, huh?"
Luo Da Li Wei —
However, Li Wei was also puzzled: "Xiao Lin, don't you usually hang out with a bunch of classmates? Why have you been alone these past few days?"
Li Lin raised her head, unimpressed. "Them? Pshaw. They're all so childish. They have nothing in common. Besides secretly writing notes, they're too daring (unlike Hua Ge, who's so bold). Girls just love spreading rumors. Gossiping about everyone. So boring!"
Li Wei thought to herself, "Very good, very mature. Assessment complete."
Li Wei and Li Lin both know how to ice skate. They were taught in high school PE class during the winter. They also went ice skating during winter break. While their skating skills aren't exceptional, they're good enough.
Several of Luo Da's classmates from the south had never tried this before, but they had tried rollerblading. The principle is similar. The boys weren't afraid of falling. After a few tumbles, they were skating quite well.
The park where Luo Da took everyone ice skating was the one not far from No. 1 High School. Li Wei looked at the park fence in the distance and suddenly remembered the bully who had bullied her, as if it were a lifetime ago.
Li Wei and Li Lin were both wearing fitted red plaid wool coats that were half-length, and red wool hats with pointed tips and pom-poms. Two small gloves of the same color were connected by a red string and hung around their necks, making them look both playful and cute.
On this icy, snowy, and bustling ice rink, their target was quite conspicuous and easy to spot.
As Li Wei and Luo Da skated hand in hand, weaving through the crowd, Li Wei laughed and talked to Luo Da about that brat. As they skated, she suddenly noticed a familiar-looking boy not far ahead, who was helping a girl who couldn't skate, acting as her coach and bodyguard.
Li Wei and Luo Dadi both had excellent eyesight, and they spotted the man at the same time. As he got closer, Li Wei finally recognized him. Just as the saying goes, "Speak of the devil and he appears," she exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Tong Cheng!"
This was the worst person Li Wei had ever met in her life, bullying men and women in the street.
Tong Cheng suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked up and glanced at the person. He didn't have a deep impression of Li Wei, but he would never forget Luo Da. He had seen bad people before, but he had never seen anyone as bad and ruthless as Luo Jianhua.
He tried to pretend he hadn't seen it, but it was too late. He forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace and greeted Luo Da, "Come on over, Brother Hua."
Li Wei burst out laughing. It turned out that this guy was part of Li Lin's group, and even his way of addressing her was the same as Li Lin's.
Luo Da was all smiles just moments before, but the moment he saw Tong Yanei, he suddenly became cold and stern, exuding the aura of a mafia boss. He was dressed in black pants and a black cotton-padded jacket, looking every bit the part.
The leader, seemingly inspecting the work, nodded and then, with a swish, pulled Li Wei past Tong Yanei.
Li Wei couldn't help herself and turned back to look at the guy's expression: "Hahaha... Ouch!" If Luo Da hadn't pulled her over, she probably would have bumped into him.
Li Wei was laughing so hard she was clinging to Luo Da's waist. Her arms and legs were so weak she couldn't muster any strength. Luo Da dragged her to a less crowded place. While laughing, she recalled Tong Cheng's expression, which could be summed up in four words: "Commander, you've worked hard!"
As for how Luo Da and Li Lianhui dealt with Tong Cheng that year, Li Wei became too busy to inquire later. She just thought that they must have used some despicable and vicious methods, otherwise Tong Cheng wouldn't have been so frightened.
However, it seems to have had a significant and far-reaching effect. It is estimated that Tong Cheng will have some psychological trauma when he does bad things in the future, and it will occasionally cause him some minor interference.
However, Li Wei was also puzzled and asked Luo Da, "For this kind of person, is it necessary to fight fire with fire and violence with violence?" Actually, if you think about it carefully, that guy wasn't that old and wasn't that bad. After all, she was still afraid of causing someone's death at the time, otherwise, it would have been tough for her, a young girl.
Luo Da glanced back and said dismissively, "Fighting poison with poison is effective and fast. You have to be ruthless with this kind of person. Not to mention him, even ordinary people are very servile. If you're not tough, you can't get anything done. They'll drag their feet forever."
Li Wei looked up at Luo Da and thought, "Damn, he really is a leader!"
Luo Da looked up at the sky and said, "No need to worship me, I'm just a legend."
Li Weili pounced.
When Xiao Meng returned to the martial arts school in the afternoon, he asked Luo Da to call home. It turned out to be a call from the school, asking him and a few classmates to go back immediately because there was an emergency.
Luo Da and several classmates drove two cars back to school immediately. They thought they would be back soon, so they didn't say much to Li Wei, only telling her not to go out by herself, and then they left.
Li Wei suddenly had some free time, and without saying a word, she immediately organized the tutoring materials. She wasn't going to really treat the holiday as a holiday; after these six months, she would have plenty of holidays after starting university.
She had it all planned out: try to get into a good university, end her student life there, and she wouldn't pursue further studies. She wanted a comfortable university life, then a relaxed and respectable job. How much money she made wasn't important; the main thing was social status. She also wanted to have some free time to start a company and make some money. Then she'd marry Luo Da, have a daughter (preferably), and then… well, let's just say we ordinary folks live happily ever after…
In fact, Li Wei had long ago realized that no matter how much money you have, if you don't eat three meals a day and sleep in one room, you'll feel bloated if you eat too much, and feel empty if the room is too big. At most, you can just change things up a little.
In the past, I treated these principles as proverbs and never grasped their essence. But since becoming wealthy, I have gradually come to understand their true meaning.
Therefore, in Li Wei's mind, having a happy family is the most important thing; everything else is just icing on the cake.
Luo Da was gone for a month, only calling once on the second day after returning to school to say he had a mission and couldn't come back for the time being, but would come back to see her in a few days. He didn't even give a specific time, place, or reason before hanging up. This made Li Wei very depressed.
What she didn't know was that even this vague phone call was something Luo Da had fought hard to get, and someone was watching her, preventing her from saying anything more.
Needless to say, going home was out of the question. So when Li Wei and Li Lin went to pay their respects to Grandma Luo's family during the Spring Festival, Aunt Luo, who was missing her son, was busy because it was the first time she hadn't been home for the Spring Festival and hadn't heard from him. When she saw Li Wei, she grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go, chatting about this and that, and her eyes even started to redden.
Li Wei felt a pang of sadness. If Aunt Luo were usually this kind and friendly, she could be excited for a while, but she couldn't be excited at all now. She had to force a smile and comfort Aunt Luo, telling her not to cry and wail during the New Year.
Because of Li Wei's special status, her third uncle and his wife gave her a particularly generous New Year's gift. In particular, her third aunt gave Li Wei a bright gold bracelet that she supposedly really liked.
Looking at the thick gold bracelet, Li Wei wanted to say, "Third Aunt, you should keep it for yourself. I'm so small, it'll be too heavy for me to wear. And if I wear it out, I'll run into some bullying robbers who will rob me right away. It's one thing to rob for money, but what if they also try to take advantage of me? How am I supposed to explain that to your son?"
Of course, this was just something I thought to myself; I couldn't say it aloud. I had to pretend to be very happy and accept it, wrapping it tightly in velvet before stuffing it at the bottom of my trunk when I got home.
If Li Lin saw this, she'd laugh her head off.
