Infinite Divine Gears in the City

Chapter 24

Li Wei had thought he would have to clean up the glass fragments before settling down, but when he entered the house, he found that the house had a new look.

“Wow! Brother, look! It’s a new TV! So big!”

Li Wei saw the 150-inch LCD TV which occupied almost half of the wall in the living room and happily jumped up.

It must be more enjoyable to watch cartoons with such a big TV!

TV, lamps, glass, mirrors…

All the shattered things had been replaced and the rest that was not broken were kept the same as before.

Li Rui blinked and took out his phone.

“Brother Lei, is this you?”

“What? I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“The things at home…”

“Oh, I sent someone to tidy things up for you and the replaced things are just junks that were stored in a warehouse. If you lost something, I’ll get someone to send it back to you.”

“No, there is nothing precious; you can just throw those things away.”

“Ok.”

Li Rui stopped for a second and continued, “Brother Lei, thank you!”

“Hahaha, the only thing that I’ve done was just making an order. What’s there to thank? Alright, I still have something to do here. Gotta go.”

“Ok, see you.”

After hanging up, Li Rui took a long breath. He looked at the somewhat strange home and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The original refrigerator at home had also been shattered. The new refrigerator now was a large refrigerator with double doors. When he opened it, it was empty.

“Come on, let’s go out for some groceries!”

“Can I go too?”

Li Wei pointed at herself in surprise.

“Haha, of course!”

Li Rui picked her up and kissed her excitedly.

During this period of time, he had not only digested a little extra health, but even Li Wei’s HP had extended by one, reaching 8/8.

Originally, the HP of a girl of her age should be at least around 20 points. Now, without the plunder of the spirit and with enough nutrition, Li Wei’s body had finally begun to slowly improve.

When he had first seen Li Wei’s weight increase by a pound on the scale, Li Rui even secretly ran to the toilet just to wipe his tears.

Since then, he enjoyed taking her out for a walk whenever he had the chance.

He was afraid that Li Wei would develop psychological problems if she stayed inside the house for too long.

Fortunately, the little girl did not show any tendency of being afraid of talking with anyone even though she was a little shy.

On the contrary, when she was a child, a good family education had made her mouth sweet like honey. The sweet sound when she called others ‘Mr and Ms’ could touch people’s hearts.

With her skinny and malnourished appearance, those middle-aged aunties who sold breakfast would spontaneously feed her with all of their buns due to their motherly love.

Li Rui held Li Wei’s little hand and the brother and sister duo went to the nearest supermarket. Rice, noodles, oil, seasoning… They put everything in a cart as if it was all for free.

Ever since Li Wei’s recovery, Li Rui started spending money generously. He was not as stingy as before.

One cart could not fully load the stuff he had bought so Li Rui found another cart. He was afraid that Li Wei would be squished, so he picked her up with one hand and put her inside the cart.

This time, he bought all the snacks she liked. Li Wei giggled as she was drowned in chocolate, biscuits, bread, and toffee.

How long ago had it been since little Wei had laughed like this?

Li Rui slowly pushed the trolleys and walked around in the supermarket. He wished that time could stop so that this happiness could last forever!

But his grumbling stomach reminded him that it was time to eat…

Finally, he bought dozens of pounds of meat and vegetables and asked for help from the supermarket to deliver it to his house together. Google search f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝘸e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝚎𝒍. co𝑚

Then, he made a dozen good dishes which made Li Wei’s stomach expand like a ball but Li Rui was only half full.

A warm current spread from their stomachs to their whole bodies while there were soreness and numbness flowing through their skeletal muscles.

Li Rui opened the system panel. The HP column had become 75/75 [ Undigested extra lives: 149].

He then digested one point of HP and the minor injuries in the back also disappeared. Li Rui had finally returned to a wholesome state!

No!

He was stronger than his original state. After all, he had gained two more HP!

“Xiao Wei, I will go to school tomorrow. Do you want to go to school with me?”

After eating, Li Rui hugged his sister while watching TV and stroked her head from time to time.

“Can I also go to school?”

Li Wei turned her head and stared at him in surprise.

“Of course, your health will be better than normal people in the future. As long as you want to, there is no problem even if you get a doctorate.”

“Then I want to go to school! In the future, we will go out and come home together everyday, hehe!”

She buried her face into Li Rui’s chest and happily rubbed her small face against his chest.

“Well, great.”

Li Rui’s eyes were restrained and he picked up a thick stack of books from the side and put on the table.

“From this evening on, I will teach you math…”

Li Wei’s slow movement suddenly stopped and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

“There is also physics, chemistry, biology, english, politics, geography, history…”

When Li Rui took out a mountain of thick books containing the previous five years’ high school entrance exams and other mock exams, Li Wei burst into tears.

“Huhu…”

Tears as big as beans twirled in her eyes. Her big watery eyes pitifully looked at Li Rui, but someone’s cold heart didn’t fluctuate at all.

“Stop being coquettish, no sleeping tonight until you finish the first lesson!”

“Big brother is a bad guy! I hate you! Huhu…”

Li Wei wriggled against his body.

…

When Li Rui woke up the next morning, Li Wei was still sleeping.

Li Rui had been tutoring until 1 AM, almost getting angry and suffering a cerebral hemorrhage in the meanwhile.

He had never expected that there would be such a stupid person in the world!

The steps to solve the problem had been clearly stated and he had almost written the final answer but Li Wei had still been looking at him with an innocent look as if he were speaking a Martian. She did not understand a single thing from the very beginning to the end!

“Why are you so stupid!”

He lightly tapped on Li Wei’s head. Li Wei, who was sleepy, turned over and drew her head into the blanket.

Li Rui prepared her breakfast and lunch. He left a note, put on his long-lost school uniform and walked toward the bus platform.

Ming De Middle School which Li Rui attended was one of the best private middle school in Shanghai and it belonged to the Sachbas International Education Group.

This was a super-strong education group that had been founded for nearly two centuries with more than 2,000 schools in 126 countries around the world.

From kindergartens to elementary and junior high schools, all the way to universities and advanced research institutes, Sachbas Group was a one-stop education system!

Maybe the universities couldn’t compete with the nation’s best universities, but the elite Sachbas education from elementary school to high school was definitely the strongest overall!

The best was naturally also the most expensive!

Millions of tuition fees per year were by no means affordable by the civilian class.

Li Rui had not chosen it because it was expensive, but on the contrary, because it was cheap.
