Liu Li rushed hastily into the dorms, only to find that no one was there. She stopped, thought for a bit, and dashed towards Fu Yishi’s room.
Swinging the door open, she caught two of her best friends in the middle of beating up Lin Weiwei.
“You want to play? It’s funny, isn’t it? Come, We’ll play with you!”
“Agh, it hurts, it hurts! Let go, Big bear, my waist hurts! ”
“That’s what you get! if it doesn’t hurt, how would you remember next time? ”
“It doesn’t matter if she remembers next time, imma kill her while I have the chance! ”
What’s going on?
Didn’t she just get into a car accident?
Why are they fighting again?
Liu Li was baffled. She had no clue what happened, but it wasn’t like she wanted to know. Her friends goof off like that all the time; she just couldn’t be bothered.
With the two of them holding Lin Weiwei down on the bed, Liu Li quickly stepped over to examine Weiwei’s shoulder.
Yet, Liu Li was relieved.
As a dancer since childhood, Liu Li has had her share of injuries. Over time, she has developed sound judgement for external trauma.
Lin Weiwei’s injury was the external kind that looks severe but would heal fairly easily. As long as the bruises are cleared properly, it wouldn’t even leave a scar.
She said scoldingly, “Weiwei’s already injured, and you guys are still messing with her! ”
“Eh? Little Liu Li, why are you back? ”
“Oh, did Doggie tell you? ”
“Liu Li, my dear, help me! ”
Ignoring them, Liu Li asked with a frown, “Why aren’t you getting ice bags? ”
“An Lu is going… ”
“Ice bags are here! ”
Before she could finish her sentence, An Lu barged into the room with small cloth bags and half a bucket of broken ice. Seeing Liu Li, she was slightly stunned. “Eh? Didn’t you guys say not to tell Liu Li just yet? ”
“Yeah, y’all managed to hide it so well!” Liu Li pulled a long face. “Hiding in Shishi’s dormitory to treat your injuries, huh?! ”
“Hehehe… ”
Lin Weiwei laughed, embarrassed.
Liu Li scooped up an ice bag gloomily, tending to Lin Weiwei’s injury.
“You have to ice it at least four times tonight. Don’t go home. Stay here. ”
“Okay. ”
Lin Weiwei nodded obediently. Feeling the temperature around Liu Li drop, Reyi Nawu, Fu Yishi, and An Lu didn’t dare mess around again. They hurried over to help.
As soon as the ice pack touched her wound, it took everything in Lin Weiwei to resist the urge to scream. She made faces at Fu Yishi instead.
No one could guess why Liu Li’s suddenly seemed so blue.
Actually, Liu Li simply came to a sudden realization.
If Lin Weiwei chose to hide the injury from her, even if it meant hiding in Fu Yishi’s room, in order to not interrupt Liu Li’s rehearsal,
Then, what about Wang Yan? !
How much of Wang Wang’s mischievous behavior was just a display, meant to prevent her from visiting him?
Liu Li knew that everyone was doing this for her sake. They didn’t want her to be distracted at such a critical moment, and she was deeply grateful. It didn’t stop her irritation and guilt, however, from spinning out of control, growing and spreading like blue algae in the sea.
Liu Li silently treated Lin Weiwei’s wound and kept herself from asking about Wang Yan.
After the first 20 minutes, Liu Li loosened her grasp, let out a long sigh, and her tone returned to normal.
“I’ll go rehearse, then, and I’ll bring you porridge when I get back. Don’t mess around anymore, understand? ”
“Yes, yes, yes! ”
Everyone nodded compliantly.
Only when the door closed behind Liu Li, did everyone breath a sigh of relief all at the same time.
“Wow! Little Liu Li is so scary when she gets angry! ” Nawu stuck out her tongue.
Liu Li wasn���t that scary though, they were all just burdened but their guilty conscience.
Like a child who has made a mistake, if instead of scolding him, you showed disappointment, self-blame, pain, and other like emotions, he would also feel uneasy.
“So are you guys gonna tell her about Wang Yan later? ” An Lu asked excitedly.
“Of course! ” Lin Weiwei waved her hand casually, “We’re gonna praise her to death! ”
Fu Yishi couldn’t help but grumble, “You just can’t wait to send Liu Li into the dog’s claws… huh?”
“What else can we do? Wouldn’t be such a pity to miss the opportunity? ! ”
As Lin Weiwei calmly laid out the facts, everyone was stunned. For a moment, when no one knew what to say, silence took over the dormitory.
…
Midnight came in the blink of an eye.
After icing her wound for the last time, Lin Weiwei followed Liu Li to the bathroom and painfully brushed her teeth.
Spitting out the toothpaste, she suddenly turned around to Liu Li with the most sincere look in her eye.
“If Doggie was as handsome as Han and could make my heart race the same way, I think I would’ve been more than touched today.
I told you ponder your options in the past, but now, I think this guy is really worthy for your love.
To be honest, I still don’t think highly of your future. But what happened today made me realize that people have to live in the present. No matter what decision you make, I will always have your back.”
Lin Weiwei was still that same straightforward girl with exceptional EQ.
Filled with fatigue, Liu Li still managed a sweet smile, mumbling softly, “WeiWei, sis, don’t worry. I’m not stupid. ”
The conversation ended there.
….
When Wang Yan woke up the next morning, the soreness in his body was indeed exacerbated.
According to the doctor, the second day after he pulled a muscle would be the most uncomfortable, but as long as one had a good physique, they could pretty much recover by the third day.
After some nice and easy stretching, Wang Yan examined his external injuries. Their recovery was faster than he anticipated––already forming deep scabs.
He still read in the morning, and since he could not go swimming in the afternoon, Wang Yan went to the spa and had Yuan Xiang give him a relaxing massage.
Through their casual conversations, Wang Yan found something else that’s new.
Because Yuan Xiang trains the strength of her fingers all year round and pays great attention in caring for her hands, the muscles of her hands were extremely elastic, and the lines of her palms were very shallow. Thus, her small hands were much smoother than that of the average woman.
To put it simply, it feels real good!
But some less comfortable things were left out of that description.
According to Wang Yan’s observations, Miss Yuan Xiang seemed very willing to offer a higher level of massage to certain customers.
With the amount of skill she has in those small hands and her grasp of acupoints, techniques, and sensitive spots, it would definitely be an ineffable experience.
However, Wang Yan didn’t let his thoughts run in that direction. He didn’t dare… Ah, bleh, bleh! Not interested at all.
It was just a head massage, some ear cleansing and pimple treatment. Those who thought otherwise, feel free to face the wall for punishment.
Happily passing time until 4:30 pm, Wu Fanlin came to the hotel to pick up Wang Yan.
The moment they saw each other, this guy started to rap again.
“Hey, Big Wang, how you doin’ today? Anything interesting come up? Your wound still hurtin’? ”
“Bro, your performance yesterday was so dope. From the skybridge to the north sea, you were worshipped by so many. ”
“Bro, so many girls recorded you yesterday. When they looked at you, I suspected… ”
“Bro, please hand over your WeChat ID. That girl is really the sh*t… ”
Skr!
Bro, you really didn’t keep that thick-noodle head for nothing!
Wang Yan was shaking his head along with the rhythm when he was shocked to suddenly realized something.
Damn!
Who the f*ck just patted me?!
