Li Xinjie’s mother felt a little embarrassed when she saw many parents looking at her. She smiled sheepishly and said, “Of course I didn’t mean that. I just want Xinjie to be your friend too, and for that, you two will have to get to know each other, right? That’s why I wanted you to pair up with her. Of course, this is subject to whether you consent to it. Xinran is also Aunty’s daughter. They are both my flesh and blood, and I deeply love them both. So, no matter who you become good friends with, Aunty will be very happy.”
Lil Sun looked at the woman’s face and felt disgusted. He had no intention of giving this woman any face at all.
“You’re so biased, but you still claim that the both of them are your flesh and blood and that you love them equally? Aunty, do you think that just because I’m young, I’ll be easy to fool? Your Li Xinjie is always recruiting other students in class to bully Li Xinran and me. If not for my good grades and the fact that Li Xinjie needs me to help her with her homework, she might have already beaten me up. Aunty, I think Li Xinjie’s worldview is very problematic because she only likes rich people. Her best friend used to be Yuan Mingbo. My relationship with him has never been good, so I’m afraid I can’t be friends with Li Xinjie. As for whether I’ll stay friends with Li Xinran even though I won’t befriend Li Xinjie, that’s my business. Even my parents and my aunt don’t meddle in my friendships, so what right do you have?”
After saying that, Lil Sun took Li Xinjie’s hand and said, “Come, let’s go tie up our legs.”
Li Xinran was still a little hesitant. After all, she was a little afraid of her aunt. Her father had been away for business for the past few days…
“Let’s go! Don’t worry about her. She won’t dare to do anything to you. If you’re bullied, come and tell me tomorrow. I’ll make her company go bankrupt.”
Li Xinran, “…”
If the family company went bankrupt, would she still be able to attend this school?
Li Xinran glanced at Lil Sun and did not say anything. She silently followed him to find the assistant class teacher to tie their legs together.
The class teacher invited Li Xinjie and Wang Hongjin to partner up.
This was the first time Li Xinjie had been so wronged by Li Xinran. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Xinjie’s mother did not have any face left after being insulted by a child. She was incredibly angry.
In the second event, Lil Sun’s Class Three only placed second.
Because Li Xinjie looked down on Wang Hongjin, and because the little tsundere was unwilling to spend the little bit of time they had before the race training with him, they had no choice but to go back to basics. They would chant, “One, two, one” and move their legs according to that. As long as they followed the rhythm, there would be no problem, right?
Who could have guessed that the two children’s steps would be so different in width and Li Xinjie would not be able to maintain a steady rhythm of chanting? Despite the rest of their class being far ahead, Li Xinjie and Wang Hongjin fell down almost every two steps they took, seriously slowing them down.
Fortunately, Lil Sun and Li Xinran were very fast, helping the class not fall too behind. If not for them, Class Three would have placed last.
By the end of the competition, Li Xinjie knew that she had accidentally sabotaged the class. To stop the other students from disliking her and not wanting to be friends with her in the future, she walked to Wang Hongjin’s side, in front of all the students, and said, “Wang Hongjin, don’t be sad. This is all my fault. “When I was with Yuan Mingbo, he told me to listen to his commands. When he said ‘one’, we would walk on our unbound legs in tandem. When he said ‘two’, we would walk on our bound legs together.”
