Thanks for the Hospitality, I'll Dig In! (Monthly Vote Request at the Start of the Month)

"If you don't like the traditional version, Class Monitor, I can worship foreign things instead. For example, Adam was a human created by the god Jehovah..." Lin Li changed his tune again.

"That's not what I meant!" Chen Yuying was somewhat annoyed, yet she did not know how to express what she truly thought. In the end, she said dejectedly, "I still think you seem like a pervert."

Lin Li now wanted to refute Wang Yongbin. That guy said a gentleman was judged by his actions, not his heart, but Lin Li now felt that the opposite was true.

Was it because he said perverted things, did perverted things, and was actually rather perverted inside that he could only be seen as a pervert?... Otherwise?

Lin Li, who had held an internal self-interrogation and answered himself with remarkable speed, suddenly froze.

Huh? A moment later, he smiled in relief, nodded at Chen Yuying, and said without the slightest desire or attachment, "Class Monitor, you convinced me. I'm a pervert."

Chen Yuying: "?"

"I didn't mean that... Well, I did mean that, but it's not that serious. You're a good kind of pervert." Chen Yuying felt as though she had hurt someone and stammered as she spoke.

Class Monitor, you're really good at comforting people. Next time, don't.

"You're a good person, Lin Li!" Seemingly realizing she had said something wrong, Chen Yuying added.

Lin Li: "?"

New achievement unlocked: received a good-guy card before even confessing.

You should just call me a good pervert instead, thanks.

"It's fine. Whatever." Lin Li waved his hand, then reminded her, "But Class Monitor, could you please not tell anyone else about this? You were willing to ask, so I was willing to tell you. But I might not be willing to tell other people. After all, even though it's a good thing, it could easily spark gossip."

In truth, if this mission had not appeared, Lin Li had not even planned to tell Chen Yuying the truth. He had intended to casually make up some story about returning a lost wallet.

"Mm-hmm! I know. I definitely won't tell anyone!" Chen Yuying nodded vigorously upon hearing that.

"Then do you have any other questions? If not, I'll get back to my homework," Lin Li said.

Chen Yuying did not reply. She fidgeted in Bai Bufan's seat.

If she told Bai Bufan what had happened at noon this afternoon, he would definitely start licking the chair like mad, wishing he could eat it—entirely Lin Li's subjective slander, entirely malicious.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Li asked proactively.

"Lin Li, what key evidence did you get?" Chen Yuying finally asked.

"That stuff is even more perverted. Better not talk about it." Lin Li shook his head.

How was he supposed to talk about things that did not exist at all?

"It's okay. Tell me, I want to hear it." Chen Yuying's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Lin Li: "?"

Lin Li suddenly felt that being called a pervert for so long was a little unfair. Why would a pervert make things difficult for another pervert?

Class Monitor, I never knew you were this kind of Class Monitor! Still, Chen Yuying was probably just purely curious. Girls were actually far less innocent than boys imagined. The way girls acted around boys was just like the way boys acted around girls: both were disguises.

If one looked through a girl's chat history with her girlfriends, it would be just like a boy's browser history—something no one should see.

How was he supposed to talk about things that did not exist? Make something up!

Was it difficult to fabricate something based on what he had seen, heard, and experienced? Of course, Lin Li had no need to do that.

But! Lin Li felt that discussing this sort of thing in front of a pretty girl... was so exciting.

Thus, Lin Li, who had originally intended to end the conversation completely, cleared his throat. "Since you asked so sincerely, I'll graciously tell you."

"Mm-hmm."

"First, I haven't experienced it myself, but based on the clues I gathered, the Chicken Farm does indeed provide very extensive services, such as..." Lin Li bent down, covered his mouth, and began narrating in a low voice.

Chen Yuying likewise bent forward slightly, leaning toward Lin Li and pricking up her ears to listen to this entirely new side of the world.

Both sides were very satisfied and had a feeling this would be a pleasant conversation.

However, a third party was dissatisfied.

Wang Yuezhi had originally planned to study hard at noon. He had been holding his pen for a long time, yet he had not written a single word.

He had his ears pricked up too, completely unable to focus on the homework before him.

Yet no matter how hard he tried, he could not hear what exactly the two people in the back row were saying.

He could only occasionally hear Chen Yuying's faint cries of surprise, barely making out, "Really~?" and "Oh my God~."

Or that bastard Lin Li's laughter.

Other than that, there were faint, barely perceptible rustling sounds.

Could they talk properly? Had they not eaten? Why were they talking so quietly?

If you can't talk, then shut up! He really wanted to stand up and warn them. Although students could stay in the classroom during lunch break, the school had rules. After 12:40, whether in the dormitory or classroom, no one was allowed to move around freely—and that meant no whispering to each other either.

If it had been Lin Li and Bai Bufan sitting there, he would have stood up long ago.

But the problem was that the two people talking were Lin Li and Chen Yuying, so he could not quite bring himself to stand.

The more Wang Yuezhi thought about it, the angrier he became. He secretly turned around and took a look.

Fuck!

Their heads were practically touching. Chen Yuying's face bore a lovely, captivating, endearing blush, while Lin Li's face wore an ugly, lecherous, revolting smile.

—Entirely subjective, entirely malicious.

Class Monitor, what are you blushing for? You should be throwing fists at someone like this! "Get away from him, he's dangerous!" Wang Yuezhi's voice squeezed out through clenched teeth.

Could they be dating?

Thinking of how Chen Yuying had loudly called him a pervert earlier, only for the two of them to now be so intimate, Wang Yuezhi had already pieced together the outline of a story—with some strange traits mixed in.

Wang Yuezhi Jaeger: Don't do that kind of thing! The Class Monitor found another man and all that!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" Wang Yuezhi finally started writing, except he was frantically drawing meaningless circles on his homework while cursing Lin Li.

"Wang Yuezhi, can you be quiet? You're very noisy."

At that moment, the fourth student in the classroom, the girl seated in the front row as well, spoke to him impatiently.

Lin Li's voice drifted faintly from behind him. "Exactly. How can one person be this noisy? The two of us are being so quiet. Tsk, tsk."

Wang Yuezhi: "..."

The final two straws that broke the camel's back arrived without a sound.

Wang Yuezhi left the classroom.

Wang Yuezhi.exe had malfunctioned.

The preparatory bell rang ten minutes before afternoon class began.

The dormitory students had already begun returning to the classroom one after another.

Lin Li stretched lazily.

Fuck, he had originally wanted to study properly, but he had wasted an entire noon making up stories in front of Chen Yuying.

His whole plan had been thrown into disorder.

Beauty had led him astray. Starting today, I quit drinking!

There was nothing to regret.

He lived for himself, not for the system.

The world was vast, but he was the greatest.

Bai Bufan entered through the back door with a yawn. It seemed he had not slept enough at noon.

He plopped down in his seat, then suddenly sprang back up. "Why isn't it cold! Lin Li, who violated my chair?!"

"Chen Yuying. She sat in it all noon."

Bai Bufan: "?"

Before questioning Lin Li, he quickly crouched down, aligning his chin with the chair seat. He took out two pens and pretended they were a knife and fork, then licked his lips. "Then I won't hold back. I'm digging in!"

Lin Li: "..."

So his malicious speculation had not been slander after all.

Easy to know fate, a man who defied fate.

As expected of you, Bai Bufan.—It's the start of the month, please give me some monthly votes~~ Stuff your big monthly votes hard into Antenna's little broken book! Please!
