Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1680 - 1302: Jiang Li’s Uncontainable Rage (Part 2)

”Ever since I started middle school, Iʼve gotten way more letters than you said, both openly and secretly. See, Iʼm still perfectly fine.”

Min Ruiʼs lips curled into a faint smile. His eyes were gentle as he said, ”At this age, getting letters from the opposite sex means they think youʼre outstanding and have a crush on you. They just canʼt help but write you to express their feelings—itʼs actually very normal. You donʼt need to pay too much attention to it; just go about your day as usual. Donʼt let it distract you from your studies.”

”I got it.”

Ming Wei nodded, then blinked: ”Big bro, you really know a lot!”

”Once you get to ninth grade, thereʼll be an addition in the electives—a course in physiology and hygiene. The teacher will explain changes for boys and girls during puberty in class. If you want to know ahead of time, you can ask Mom.”

At this, Min Rui suddenly asked, ”Before you came to me, you didnʼt talk to Mom about whatʼs on your mind?”

Ming Wei shook her head: ”I was embarrassed. And I worried Mom would get upset.”

Min Ruiʼs expression grew serious: ”Does Mom get upset a lot?”

Hearing that, Ming Wei immediately shook her head like a rattle drum: ”No, no, not at all. Mom rarely gets angry, especially with us—sheʼs never lost her temper in front of us.”

”Then why…”

Relaxing his expression, Min Rui looked straight at Ming Wei.

”Big bro, I was overthinking. I just thought those letters werenʼt good, so I didnʼt dare tell Mom and came to you for advice instead.”

Listening to Ming Wei, Min Rui replied gently, ”Alright, for worries like this from girls, if I were you, Iʼd just talk to Mom. After all, Momʼs a woman too, and everything you donʼt know, she definitely does. As long as you ask, sheʼll for sure tell you everything.”

”Okay, got it.”

Ming Wei answered, then looked at Min Rui: ”Big bro…”

”What is it?”

Min Rui looked confused.

”You and Ming Han are both boys. When you encounter boysʼ troubles, donʼt you talk to Mom?”

Ming Wei tilted her head at Min Rui, her eyes unusually bright and a little curious.

”...”

Pressing his lips together, Min Rui fell silent for a moment before saying, ”Iʼll ask classmates, and if Dadʼs home Iʼll ask him. But if the problem keeps bothering me, and classmates canʼt answer it, and Dadʼs not around, Iʼd naturally ask Mom. Is that answer okay with you?”

”Big bro, youʼre so sneaky!”

Ming Wei let out a soft ”hmph” and said, ”Honestly, weʼre all Momʼs children. If we canʼt figure something out, we should all ask her. Of course, I know you and Ming Han are boys, and some things are awkward to bring up to Mom, so I really have no objections to what you said earlier!”

Hearing that, Min Ruiʼs eyes lit up with a shallow smile. He said, ”Alright then. Keep those letters safely at home. Donʼt open and read them out loud in front of classmates, and definitely donʼt throw them in the trash.”

Ming Wei: ”Donʼt worry, I would never be that rude.”

Min Rui: ”If someone hands you a letter in person, you can refuse it. But if itʼs slipped into your desk without you knowing, handling it badly would just be disrespectful to others.”

”I know.”

Ming Wei nodded.

Min Rui smiled and asked, ”Feeling better now?”

Ming Wei smiled and replied with a ”mm,” but then her brows furrowed: ”Big bro, I feel like Xi Jingyu always looks at me out of nowhere. Iʼm not being narcissistic—itʼs just every time he comes to find Ming Han for basketball during break, the moment I raise my eyes, I always end up locking gazes with him. What do you think he means by that?”

”Youʼre probably just overthinking it.”

Puberty stirring—it wasnʼt such a big deal in his eyes. As for Xi Jingyu, he knew who he was and knew he was diligent and hardworking. He was friends with his dopey little brother Luo Minghan,

They both kept up a healthy rivalry in academics, and maybe that kid actually had a crush on his sister, but since he hadnʼt said or done anything inappropriate, Min Rui couldnʼt just jump to conclusions or even confront him, right?

”Am I really overthinking?”

Ming Wei tilted her head, pondering.

”Think about it—if you didnʼt look at Xi Jingyu, how would you know he was looking at you? Maybe itʼs just a casual glance, and itʼs pure coincidence you catch him every time.”

Min Rui, as the big brother, was pretty sly—stone-faced but totally messing with his sister as he spoke.

And oddly enough, Ming Wei was actually convinced: ”That does make sense, but I still feel like somethingʼs off…”

”Luo Ming Wei!”

Min Rui quickly cut off her train of thought. He said, ”Go call your second brother in to do his homework, and bring the dumpling crew back with you. Ask them if theyʼve finished their assignments yet.”
