Xiao Li blinked, she understood!
In the following days, during the day Qin Xiao taught Xiao Li martial arts in the training arena, and in the evening he took Xiao Li to the basement to practice shooting. At first, Xiao Li was so nervous her hands shook.
The recoil from her first shot startled her, but gradually she got used to it.
Once she got used to it, she just needed to learn to aim and shoot, the rest wasn’t so bad.
Now the hardest thing for her was the daily martial arts training.
After just a few days, the weight Xiao Li gained during her confinement fell off.
Ah... not bad, free weight loss.
On the third day after Qin Xiao and Xiao Li returned to the old house, Father Qin and Mother Qin also came back. Knowing Qin Xiao took Xiao Li to practice martial arts every day, Mother Qin scolded Qin Xiao. Content originally comes from nοvelfire.net
She blamed him for being too hasty, Xiao Li had just come out of confinement.
Qin Xiao didn’t explain, it was Father Qin who spoke up for him, thinking Qin Xiao must have his reasons for doing so.
On the bed, Xiao Li was lying spread-eagle, her whole body aching unbearably.
Xiao Li felt that if she hadn’t had a dance background since childhood, with decent flexibility, she would be ruined by the intensity of the martial arts practice.
Even so, Qin Xiao had reduced the intensity of the practice; if she had trained at the original intensity Qin Xiao and the others had, she wouldn’t be able to get up after just one day...
Qin Xiao came over with medicinal wine to rub Xiao Li’s arms and legs. Seeing her so exhausted, Qin Xiao felt sorry for her, but he had to harden his heart to let her endure this hardship.
The hardship she endures now is to ensure she can protect herself in case of unexpected incidents in the future.
Just like during the lab explosion, if it hadn’t been for his quick reaction and the survival skills he acquired from training since childhood, he would have long been separated from Xiao Li forever.
The beginning phase of martial arts training is the toughest, but once you persist, the pain will gradually lessen, and your body will feel lighter and more relaxed.
Before she realized it, Xiao Li had been training for a week, and today she could finally take a little break.
Because Dai Zihan had given birth, she needed to hurry back to the city to see Dai Zihan and the baby.
Inside the hospital ward, with Xiao Li and her friends visiting, Zhou Shuyi found an excuse to return home to fetch soup, giving them some space to chat.
Xiao Li, Feng Qing, and Xiao Wenjing gathered around the baby crib, looking at the baby. Xiao Li looked at the baby and smiled, "Zhihan, this baby looks more like Wen Zeyu."
On the hospital bed, Dai Zihan nodded and said, "Everyone who sees him says the same, but I don’t see it that way."
Hearing this, Xiao Li chuckled, "That’s psychological. You must be thinking, ’I gave birth to this child with such hardship, why doesn’t he look like me but like Wen Zeyu?’
That’s why you think he doesn’t look like Wen Zeyu."
Feng Qing laughed and said, "I think the same. So many people see him resembling Wen Zeyu, but you don’t, it must be your own issue."
Hearing this, Dai Zihan’s expression became a bit unnatural, as she did indeed think that way.
Xiao Wenjing, looking at the baby, said enviously, "I envy Xiao Li and Zhihan! You both have babies now, it’s wonderful."
Feng Qing laughed, "Why? Do you want a baby too?
It’s simple, just go to your Zhou Junren!"
Feng Qing joked, but Xiao Wenjing didn’t respond and her eyes dimmed slightly.
Seeing this, Xiao Li and Feng Qing exchanged a look but said nothing more.
When Zhou Shuyi returned to the hospital and they left the ward together, Xiao Li and Feng Qing finally pulled Xiao Wenjing aside to interrogate her.
Xiao Li asked, "Wenjing, did you have a fight with Zhou Junren?"
Xiao Wenjing shook her head, "No, I didn’t!"
Feng Qing gently pushed her, "Come on... just now in the ward, when I mentioned Zhou Junren, your expression wasn’t right.
Xiao Li and I were happy about Zhihan’s baby and didn’t want to spoil her mood, so we didn’t press on it.
Xiao Wenjing shook her head and said, "There’s really nothing, we didn’t have a fight, didn’t have a quarrel, everything is fine.
I’m just a bit uneasy inside!"
Xiao Li and Feng Qing realized there’s more to it!
Xiao Li didn’t rush to leave and took out her phone to call Qin Xiao, asking him to come pick her up later, then went to a nearby dessert shop with Feng Qing and Xiao Wenjing to chat.
Arriving at the dessert shop, the three picked a corner seat, ordered hot drinks and desserts, and then Xiao Li began, "Wenjing, spill it out! What’s going on exactly?"
Xiao Wenjing fell silent for a moment and said, "Actually there’s really nothing between me and Zhou Junren, he hasn’t changed his attitude towards me from before.
But I still feel uneasy.
When Zhou Junren’s father passed away, Zhou Junren didn’t notify me to come.
Xiao Li was surprised to hear, "You didn’t attend Professor Zhou’s funeral?"
Xiao Wenjing nodded, "Yes, not only was I absent when his father passed away, I also haven’t met his family even once.
When his father was in the hospital, I suggested visiting, but Zhou Junren refused.
Xiao Li, crazy girl, Zhou Junren was once a playboy.
I didn’t accept him initially for this reason, but later, after getting to know him better, I realized he wasn’t as much a playboy, so I accepted him.
But now, I don’t quite understand how sincere his feelings are towards me.
If he truly considers me his girlfriend, why hasn’t he let me meet his family? Why didn’t he let me attend his father’s funeral?"
Feng Qing, after hearing Xiao Wenjing’s words, slammed the table hard, "What does Zhou Junren mean by this? Is he playing with you?"
Xiao Li was startled by her action, and while clutching her chest, said, "Crazy girl, calm down, will you?
Wenjing is already uneasy, don’t stir things up, okay?"
After reprimanding Feng Qing, Xiao Li then looked at Xiao Wenjing, "Wenjing, did you talk about all of this with Zhou Junren?"
Xiao Wenjing shook her head, "No... I’m a bit afraid to really hear from his mouth, ’I’m just playing with you.’
When it comes to that, I wouldn’t even be able to deceive myself anymore."
Xiao Li, hearing her words, said nothing, just picked up her phone and called Qin Xiao, "Uncle, are you still in the lab?"
Coming to the city, Qin Xiao couldn’t possibly let Xiao Li come alone. He first took Xiao Li to the hospital, glanced at the baby, and then went to the lab to check things.
Qin Xiao laughed, "I’m still in the lab, are you done there? If so, I’ll come over right away."
Xiao Li said, "I’m not done yet, but you need to come over, and bring Zhou Junren with you, there’s something to discuss with him."
Qin Xiao nodded, "Alright, I’ll bring him over right away."
After giving the location and name of the dessert shop, Xiao Li hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Xiao Li looked at Xiao Wenjing, "Wenjing, you and Zhihan both used to have carefree personalities, but when it comes to relationships, you both become so timid?"
