Zhou Li and I did not argue; instead, we treated it as a little amusement.
Later, I realized that this was the case.
Because Zhou Li has a people-pleasing personality. He always likes to please others to gain a sense of security. So, even though he knows that Liu Wei is playing with him, he does not expose it. Later, Zhou Li mentioned it to Liu Fang and texted her to make sure no one else knew.
"I understand," Liu Fang replied.
Zhou Li, feeling uneasy, sent another message. "Also, the next time Liu Wei tricks me again, you must not expose it, okay?"
"Got it."
...
Zhou Li told me about the scene when Liu Fang first met him. At that time, the other children were excluding Liu Fang, and Zhou Li was the first to take the initiative to ask to play with Liu Fang.
Liu Fang told me that she was particularly grateful to Zhou Li. Because Zhou Li made her experience joy in life again.
Zhou Li also complained to me that Liu Fang was too clingy. "He follows me around all day; it's so annoying."
"Then just be clear with him," I suggested.
"No, Liu Fang is very sensitive; if I say something, she will be hurt."
"Then just play with her nicely."
"But I don't like her."
"Then don't be so nice to her."
"I can't; she's too pitiful, and I can't treat her badly."
Zhou Li is just like that, always trying to please others.
Zhou Li told me about Liu Fang's condition.
“She can't hear what others say. Sometimes I accidentally scold her, and she can't hear it, so she keeps asking. Then I just casually brush her off, not expecting her to take it seriously.”
“Wow, that's so sad.”
“Yeah, she even said she would always be there for me.”
“How nice! I wish I had a friend like that.”
“Hehe, I'll introduce you to each other.”
“Sure!”
I once complained to Liu Fang about Zhou Li.
“She said I was too troublesome. She said that sometimes when I can't hear her talking, I think she's scolding me. When I ask her about it, she just tells me to get lost...”
“So did you leave?”
“What could I do? Of course, I obediently left.”
“Hahahahaha, you're so cowardly.”
“You're laughing? You have no idea; it was winter then, below ten degrees Celsius. I was only wearing thermal leggings, and my feet were frozen numb.”
“Did she really not let you in?”
“She wouldn't let me in.”
“Really? Why?”
“I don't know; maybe she thought it was fun.”
“Alright... you two really know how to have fun...”
“Once, we had a swimming competition at our workplace.”
“Hmm.”
“Guess what Zhou Li did?”
“What did she do?”
"She pulled all the hair off my legs."
"Ah?"
"Maybe she thought it was fun."
"What did you do?"
"I just swam like that, and as a result, I ended up with a rash on my calves that itched for over a month."
"..."
I spoke about this with a smile on my face.
It didn't seem to bother me at all.
I still remember that one time when she accidentally overheard Zhou Li cursing at me.
"Why the hell did you order spicy fish? Don't you know I don't eat chili?! And now you're packing up the chili too? Are you crazy?!"
"I'm sorry, babe."
"Get lost!"
At that moment, only the two of us knew that it was just a way to have fun at someone else's expense.
I understood Zhou Li; I knew what she was thinking.
She found a dark and complex pleasure in satisfying my unreasonable demands.
