My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

Apart from Li Wei, who is an orphan, none of the other children came to the kindergarten.

So, the boy continued to absorb intellectual nourishment in the library as always.

Confucius said that books are the ladder of human progress.

At the same time, reading is one of the most affordable ways to improve oneself.

Confucius said that a gentleman should strive to learn the six arts: rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Everything else is fine, but riding is basically obsolete in modern times. If you do the math, it's roughly equivalent to driving a car, motorcycle, airplane, submarine, or Boeing 767.

And the biggest factor restricting Li Wei's learning has also become apparent.

That means there's no money.

The kindergarten only provides basic food and lodging. The pocket money is given by Ms. Fujibayashi and Ms. Airi. It is more than enough to buy some snacks, but other higher expenses are not possible.

As for borrowing money from Liangyi, that was completely outside Li Wei's considerations. A gentleman's friendship is as light as water, and he couldn't always bother others, otherwise how would he repay them in the future?

Thinking this, Li Wei put the "Collection of Yongtianliu's Teachings" back in its original place.

This is a very ordinary, unremarkable collection of essays on the slow pace of Buddhist life. But for some reason, the boy always experienced strange reactions such as palpitations, excitement, and sweating while reading it, which subtly resonated with his own practice of the "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), as if they were a peculiar combination that could lead to the same goal through different paths.

Even though the authors of the two books are separated by thousands of years, they can still resonate with each other through the same person.

Books are amazing, aren't they?

Then, just as Li Wei was about to climb down the ladder to find another theological work called "The Dark Bible" on the adjacent bookshelf that had given him much insight, a familiar voice came from the doorway.

"Is Avi inside? I'm coming in."

He knocked on the door twice very perfunctorily, then opened it and walked in without waiting for the boy's response: "I knew you'd be here."

"Hiratsuka-nee, if possible, please open the door only after the person inside responds to you."

As he said this, the boy, as always, displayed an expression beyond his years, like a little adult, a true gentleman.

Unfortunately, due to his age, his deterrent effect is basically negative.

"Haha, what does it matter? There's no one else here anyway."

The girl, known as "Hiratsuka-nee," said this cheerfully while pulling Li Wei into her arms and rubbing against him repeatedly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, a sixteen-year-old high school student, is a stunningly beautiful girl, at the age when her beauty is at its peak.

Walking down the street, detectives often ask if I want to debut as an idol. Receiving confessions from boys and girls in my school is as natural as eating and drinking, and without exception, I always get friend-zoned, even if I'm moved but still reject them.

Hiratsuka's father and grandfather were both famous martial arts fighters, and Principal Gintoki was very familiar with her family before the Yorozuya went bankrupt. Two years ago, Hiratsuka's maternal grandfather, Mr. Bang, came to visit, and Li Wei witnessed the old man sculpt two marble slabs, each over two meters tall, into stone lions with his bare hands, carrying one in each hand to the school gate.

It was on that occasion that Hiratsuka Shizuka saw Li Wei practicing high jump at the kindergarten, and that's how they became acquainted.

He would often crush walnuts with his bare hands and feed them to the boy, and he would also buy him clothes and shoes to wear. He treated the boy like a younger brother.

I don't know why, but my relationship with Yin and Yang is very average, extremely average.

"Let's go, I'll go with you to the hospital for a check-up today."

After rubbing Li Wei's head enough, Hiratsuka-nee said this with satisfaction.

The "check-up" refers to a free medical check-up that the boy receives every month at a designated hospital starting from the age of four, thanks to the welfare organization. Previously, Li Wei was always taken by her teacher, but since Hiratsuka-nee arrived, she occasionally volunteers for this task.

"Wait a minute, is it time for another physical exam today?"

Li Wei, who had been calm, suddenly realized what was happening and struggled desperately: "I'll go by myself another day, Hiratsuka-nee. I haven't finished reading my book today, and I haven't practiced the high jump either."

"Why is such a young child always reading books? At your age, you should be running and jumping around playing outside. You'll have plenty of time to read books later."

Hiratsuka tapped the boy's head: "Besides, the book won't run away. You can always read it tomorrow. Go get your checkup first, then play games. You're not allowed to read until you finish your games!"

"..."

Is this educational approach really without problems?

I heard that Hiratsuka-nee plans to become a teacher in the future. I'm really worried about her future students.

While thinking this to himself, Li Wei tried to escape Hiratsuka's control.

Unfortunately, it was all for naught.

"Come on, come on. Kids who don't take their health seriously will suffer a lot in the future. I have a classmate named Levi who was only found to have developmental delays in middle school because his parents didn't pay attention to his health. Now it's too late. He's in his second year of high school and he's only 1.5 meters tall. He'll have a hard time reaching 1.6 meters in his life. Avi, you can't be like him."

"No need, Hiratsuka-nee. I read, study, and exercise every day. I go to bed before 10 p.m. and get eight hours of sleep every night, like a baby. I never leave fatigue and stress for the next day. Even the doctor said I'm perfectly normal."

"Alright, alright, stop being so arrogant. Arrogant boys aren't cute at all."

"I'm really not being arrogant, really!"

"So you're just shy? It's okay, it's okay."

As she finished speaking, Hiratsuka's tone became increasingly gentle: "People always need to help each other. Look at the Chinese character for 'person' (人), it's two people leaning on each other, meaning that the act of relying on each other is expressed even in the character itself."

“But no matter how I look at it, it looks like one person is pressing down on another, just like the fighting posture between me and Liangyi…” Li Wei expressed his opinion: “But that’s not important, I really have no problems at all, if you don’t believe me, put me down and walk around a bit.”

That's what they said, but in the end, Li Wei was still skillfully carried away by Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The imposing martial arts high school student had honed his strength for over a decade, possessing the power to move a horse on his arm and stand a person on his fist. The body of a mere five-year-old boy was simply no match for him.

"Is it possible that I'll be suppressed by Hiratsuka-nee for the rest of my life?"

Li Wei couldn't help but think this way.

Chapter 6: If God Won't Save Me, I Will Save God; A Pair of Iron Fists Shatters the Mortal World

As a dignified and imposing beauty in school, Shizuka Hiratsuka's car is different from everyone else's.

It was a motorcycle that looked to have a fairly large engine displacement, and the words "Superior Noise" and "Yoru Shiku" could be stuck to the back of the motorcycle without looking out of place.

It is said that ten years ago, a wandering monk riding a motorcycle playing the Great Compassion Mantra stayed overnight at the Hiratsuka family's house and received meticulous hospitality. At that time, a severe flu outbreak swept through the Hiratsuka household, causing young Hiratsuka Shizuka to suffer from a persistent high fever and nearly die. Thanks to the wandering monk, who, to repay the kindness of a night's stay, cured her illness with his superb medical skills and held her all night, chanting Buddhist scriptures for her. By dawn, the virus had completely dissipated.

Later, to commemorate the wandering monk, Hiratsuka chose the same model of motorcycle as her mode of transportation.

—Of course, the version of the Great Compassion Mantra is not played.

"Alright, Hiratsuka-nee, we've sampled enough."

Li Wei shifted uncomfortably, looking somewhat worried: "Speaking of which, are you really okay riding a motorcycle at your age?"

"Is there a problem?" Hiratsuka-nee answered as if it were perfectly natural.

"……never mind."

Li Wei, who had originally intended to offer some opinions on the issue of minors driving, thought about it but ultimately said nothing, feeling it was a bit of a killjoy.

After all, the contrast between a beautiful young woman riding a large-displacement motorcycle that seems completely out of place is always captivating.

In particular, when the teenager is placed in front of the driver instead of sitting in the back seat.

Just like before, Hiratsuka leaned forward, her budding breasts pressing directly against Li Wei's head, her lower abdomen against his back, and her legs tightly wrapped around his, completely enveloping him.

The boy could clearly feel the warmth emanating from Hiratsuka-nee, who was wrapped around him. Judging from the touch on her back, beneath that seemingly delicate skin lay firm muscles.

"Don't worry, I'm a very steady driver."

Hiratsuka, who was very confident in herself, even leaned back slightly and reached out to touch Levi's head through his helmet: "Hold on tight, I'm about to accelerate."

------

With lightning speed.

Thanks to her amazing driving skills, Hiratsuka completed the journey that normally takes an hour in just fifteen minutes.

"Great, I thought I was going to die this time."

Li Wei, who had been clinging tightly to Hiratsuka-nee's body the whole time to ensure her safety, breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really not easy to survive another day."

Unlike other children who are afraid of going to the hospital because of injections, the boy's reluctance is almost half due to Hiratsuka-nee's driving skills.

So much so that I was still a little dizzy when I got off the bus and couldn't stand very steadily.

"Avi, you can't do this. You need to exercise more in the future."

As the culprit who caused all this, Hiratsuka felt no remorse whatsoever: "How about I take you on as my student? I can teach you Hadouken and Shungokusatsu, just to accumulate teaching experience."

"If I remember correctly, these family martial arts techniques are not to be taught to outsiders casually."

"It's alright, I'll make an exception for you. These old-fashioned and outdated customs should be thrown into the trash heap."

The super high school beauty said casually, "If Dad asks, just say you don't know. If he asks again, make him come find me. If he keeps asking, get Grandpa and Grandma to beat him up."

“…Let’s forget it.” Li Wei hesitated for a second, then firmly refused her.

Let's not discuss whether this was a promise made on a whim by Hiratsuka-nee—in fact, even if Hiratsuka-nee regrets it after she comes to her senses, she will definitely not take back the promise. If all else fails, I can just cling to Hiratsuka-nee's leg and act cute or something and everything will be fine.

She is true to her word, resolute in her actions, and faithful to her promises. This is Hiratsuka's character, and it is what Li Wei likes about her.

But that's precisely why he couldn't agree.

"You blind brat." Hiratsuka Shizuka pouted, looking rather dissatisfied.

"This has absolutely nothing to do with your driving style." The boy changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, Hiratsuka-nee, where did you learn your driving style from?"

“Oh, you mean this? Actually, it’s the last wish left by the high monk who helped me back then.” Hiratsuka-nee said, pulling a book out of her bosom. “Although that master is now wandering the world and his whereabouts are unknown, I have inherited his style. I’m sure the master would be very gratified if he knew about this one day.”

While savoring the familiar stories he'd heard countless times, Li Wei took the rather heavy book. He glanced at the cover, which read "Zen, Magic, and the Art of Motorcycle Driving" Deluxe Collector's Edition, author: Hijiri Byakuren. The back prominently displayed "Shameimaru Aya Publishing, suggested retail price 7 yen."

Flipping through a couple of pages, the content is roughly as follows:

If the cult refuses to leave the victim, then continue to beat him until the cult completely disappears.

Regarding Zen practice, I believe riding a motorcycle is a more effective form of spiritual practice than sitting in meditation. I have a brilliant way of proving this, but unfortunately, there's too little space here to write it down.

[A mage's most important talent is their innate physical nature.

[Give the gas pedal once! Turn the key, start the pistons and pump! Give the gas pedal twice! Start the engine, ignite the turbo, inject life! Give the gas pedal three times! Sing in unison, praising the enlightened Buddha of all machines!]

"That monk who saved Hiratsuka-nee, his method of exorcising demons was probably to kill them with a motorcycle and then play the Great Compassion Mantra to help them pass on to the afterlife, right?"

Even Li Wei, who considers himself a gentleman, couldn't help but feel an urge to complain after seeing this content.

"So, isn't it well-written, excellent, and very reasonable?"

“Not at all.” The boy rolled his eyes and then casually handed the book back to Hiratsuka Shizuka: “All I know is that if you keep studying like this, Hiratsuka-nee, you’ll probably end up like this master.”

"To become a person of high moral character like her?"

"No, it's because she doesn't have a man, just like me."

"Tch, with my looks, even in another ten years or so, when I'm thirty, I'll still be a stunning beauty. How could I possibly be unmarriageable?" Hiratsuka tapped the boy's head. "If you're right, and I really am unmarriageable in the future, I'll just have you marry me!"

P.S.: There really is a book called "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," published by Chongqing Publishing House, with a retail price of 79 yuan.

Chapter 7 Children's thoughts are always very simple.

In the lobby of St. Juliana Hospital, one of the most prominent buildings in the entire city and known for its top-notch medical expertise and largest scale, Hiratsuka and Li Wei were happily walking forward together.

Since being acquired by a mysterious figure many years ago, St. Juliana Hospital has been expanded to a considerable size. Through its powerful network of connections, high salaries and bonuses, and strong research capabilities, it has attracted heroes from all over the world, creating numerous astonishing medical miracles.

Whether it's the all-around doctor who claims to be a master of all medicines, or the doctor who is skilled in grappling and physical modification, or the doctor who is skilled in gynecology and pediatrics, apart from a certain doctor named Romani who is suspected of getting in through connections, who spends his days holed up in his office eating small cakes, and who spends his time giving gifts to virtual idols and borrowing money from others to make ends meet, they are all renowned doctors that even Dr. Bian praises highly.

They claim that as long as someone is alive, they will save them even if it means amputation below the neck.

The entire hospital has an excellent environment. All the green plants and flowers in the hospital area were provided by Crazy Dave Plants Ltd. The oil paintings on the walls, though incomprehensible, are still very stylish. Even the tiles under Li Wei's feet were custom-made from the well-known brand Liudongsi Brick Factory.

In addition, it is said that when St. Juliana Hospital was acquired, a lot of shady things happened, including a doctor named Ryuji Hirasaka who died. However, these are all old stories and no one cares about them anymore.

Of course, matching the superb medical skills and elegant medical environment are the high medical costs.

My classmate from the next class, Konno Kamoki, was cured of HIV here, and her family took out a loan for twenty years to save her life.

Li Wei witnessed firsthand how his family's vehicle was changed from an imported Mercedes-Benz to a Mazda.

"Shizuka, Shizuka, are you there?"

With cheerful steps, Hiratsuka Shizuka walked familiarly into the inpatient department: "I brought Avi for a check-up."

"Yes, Xiaojing, I'm right here... Ah! Avi, you're here too?"

Upon hearing Hiratsuka's voice, the blonde nurse, who had been using her breasts as a pillow due to exhaustion and appeared dazed, answered weakly. However, upon seeing Li Wei, her eyes lit up, and she pounced on him at lightning speed.

Before the boy could react, the guy pounced on Li Wei, his unusually large body slamming directly into the boy's face. Li Wei even had the illusion of hearing a "DUANG~" sound effect.

"Ah, it's Avi~" The nurse, looking a little confused, said this while hugging the boy in her arms and rubbing against him in various ways.

"Juchuan-nee, I can't breathe."
