Thus, except for Wei Shanming who wasn't quite satisfied, the other three were quite content with this outcome.
Wei Xing said he was going to work at the company, but being inherently lazy, he had been at home doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and playing video games since dropping out of school.
Wei Shanming urged him several times, but he always said he needed to rest for a few days before starting work.
Finally, Wei Shanming couldn't take it anymore. Under the threat of a belt, Wei Xing reluctantly went to the company.
While Wei Xing went to the company to inherit the family business, Wei Xin, the "less valued" one in the family, had to continue going to school.
Shi Li felt that things had been a bit strange lately. Students from other classes were exceptionally nice when they saw her.
Many people smiled at her, making Shi Li feel as if her days were numbered.
She felt uneasy, wondering why everyone was looking at her when she hadn't done anything noteworthy.
Especially Wei Xin, Wei Xing's sister who had previously bumped into Song Ying, looked at her with a particularly odd expression, a feeling she couldn't quite describe.
Previously, Class 1 and Class 3 had PE together, but because Shi Li had a "crush" on Feng Yunhe, and Feng Yunhe was oblivious, the entire Class 3 received cold treatment from Class 1 due to Feng Yunhe alone.
Under normal circumstances, two classes with good relations would organize joint activities during the free activity time in PE class, as more people meant more fun.
But Class 1 students were afraid they couldn't control Shi Li and prevent her from running over to find "Brother Yunhe."
They were even more worried that if Brother Yunhe ignored Shi Li, the whole class might not be able to control their fists, and it wouldn't be good if the two classes got into a fight during PE.
So Class 1 students didn't seek out Class 3, and Class 3 students didn't come to Class 1 either.
The state of the two classes during PE was quite peculiar.
But now, wasn't the situation different? Class 1 had a precious little gem.
You might say, when the precious gem is in the classroom during regular lessons, we can't see her or hear her thoughts. There's nothing we can do about that - we can't all gather at Class 1's door during lessons, can we?
But now, we're under the same blue sky, having PE together. Although Class 1 is in Tennis Court A1 and Class 3 is in Tennis Court A2, with the two classes in different gymnasiums, at least we're having PE at the same time.
This is fate! As the old saying goes, it takes a hundred years of cultivation to study at the same school, and a thousand years to attend the same class!
It's destiny that brought us together at this school, that allows us to have PE at the same time.
Since it's a thousand-year fate, how could we be easily defeated by real-world difficulties?
It's just two walls between the gymnasiums. If the mountain won't come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain.
While Class 1 students were still paired up playing matches, the students in the neighboring gymnasium had already started their free activities.
They were lively and clever, running incredibly fast.
They swarmed into the adjacent gymnasium, swaggering as if they owned the place.
At this point, Class 1 students hadn't realized that a battle for Shi Li had already begun. The enemy was cunning and shameless, skilled in using all sorts of underhanded tactics.
Shi Li was playing against Wei Yi, known as the class's sports weakling. When playing against her, Shi Li felt more confident because she was equally mediocre at tennis.
Suddenly, a group of people surrounded Shi Li. They were familiar faces, classmates they had shared lessons with.
With people all around, Shi Li, being someone who cared about her image, felt embarrassed to play in front of so many people.
Girls are particularly good at complimenting.
Someone said, "My goodness, Shi Li's serve form is so perfect! Has she been trained by a professional tennis coach?"
Shi Li thought: I've learned from our PE teacher, a professional coach, for two months, once a week.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Shi Li's ball went out of bounds.
Wei Yi smiled, wondering how these people could possibly compliment that.
One person applauded, "This isn't an ordinary mistake. I bet Shi Li is playing a big game here. She deliberately made that move to disrupt her opponent's rhythm!"
Wei Yi thought: Alright, alright, you win. When it comes to shamelessness and blatant lies, you're slightly ahead.
Praised so much, Shi Li felt like she could go participate in the upcoming Wimbledon Championships. Anything less than winning the women's singles title would be a disappointment to everyone's compliments.
Other Class 1 students in the same gymnasium thought: They're all just sycophants! Good at sweet talk! Flattering words and ingratiating looks! Completely shameless!
Do they really think they can sway Shi Li with just a few words after we've spent so much time together?
-- Small skit --
Class 3 students: What if we bring up Feng Yunhe? How would you counter that?
Class 1 students: What's so great about Feng Yunhe? We have... we have Fu Xingxing! (hands on hips)
