Lin Li was making a joke out of his own reputation for laughs, so why wasn't Wang Yuezhi laughing?
Was it because he felt people shouldn't be mocked over something like this? What a gentle boy.
Seriously, Lin Li was moved to tears.
After everyone had laughed enough, Lin Li turned to Chen Yuying and said, "Class Monitor, my final secret has been exposed. Now you can rest assured that I have no designs on you, right? If you don't mind, I can even be your best Girlfriend and take Ding Sihan's place."
Ding Sihan: "?"
Ding Sihan stood up and pointed at her seat. "You can have my seat right now."
"Huh? Thanks! My seat's by the window in the last row. Let's start moving now. Bai Bufan, get your ass over here and help your new deskmate!" Lin Li was overjoyed. What a great deal.
Ding Sihan: "?"
"No, you're actually sitting down? I take it back!" Seeing that Lin Li really intended to sit down, Ding Sihan's eyes widened. She plopped back into her chair and clung tightly to her desk.
"Ahem!" Bai Bufan, who had just pulled his head back to keep eavesdropping, poked it out again. "Lin Li, even if you're my brother, if you become one of those animal-like male Girlfriends, you still deserve to die."
As for Ding Sihan's part, he simply ignored it. When Bai Bufan faced girls alone, he completely turned into a socially anxious wreck.
If he really had to deliver breakfast, he would probably stutter even over saying thanks.
As for why the person delivering breakfast would say thanks instead of you're welcome, that was absolutely something Bai Bufan could do when he was nervous.
Chen Yuying, the target of Lin Li's words, lowered her head awkwardly. Her face seemed a little red, and she said nothing.
There was no need for her to say anything anyway. Anyone could tell Lin Li was joking.
As for whether everyone would think Lin Li really liked Chen Yuying, that was another matter.
Chen Yuying herself might think so too.
"Do you have anything else to say? Now we can all rest easy." Lin Li looked at Wang Yuezhi again, but before Wang Yuezhi could answer, he seemed to realize something and answered himself. "No, why am I asking you to rest easy? I asked the Class Monitor for help. As long as she agrees, that's enough.
Like I said, you can go... forget it. For your sake, I'm willing to stop swearing from today onward."
Then he turned away and stopped looking at him.
Wang Yuezhi's face flushed red. That was even worse than swearing at him. "I'll tell the teacher!"
Lin Li ignored him and confirmed with Chen Yuying, "Class Monitor, then it's settled?"
Tell the teacher if he wanted. In the teachers' eyes, Lin Li was a prodigal who had turned over a new leaf. Besides, he had spent a wonderful night with Xue Jian last night.
Chen Yuying nodded.
So Lin Li headed toward his seat in the back row. Wang Yuezhi, full of resentment and anger, also returned to his seat, gripping his hair and gritting his teeth.
His deskmate hurriedly suppressed his smile, arranged his expression, and prepared to comfort Wang Yuezhi while cursing Lin Li with him.
"Yuezhi, you..." His deskmate suddenly stopped, staring toward the aisle beside Wang Yuezhi.
"What is it?" Wang Yuezhi turned his head too.
"Hehe, mad or not~~" Before he could do so, Wang Yuezhi heard someone close to his ear say that short sentence, sounding utterly smug.
Who else could it be but Lin Li?
When Wang Yuezhi turned around, ready to curse him out, all he saw was Lin Li's retreating back.
He ran off after disgusting someone.
Wang Yuezhi's temperature shot up again.
"You—"
The word "mom" was almost out before Wang Yuezhi realized that if he swore now, everything he had said earlier would come back to bite him. He forcibly swallowed it back down.
"—you're so annoying!"
With that level of attack power, it was practically flirting and acting cute with him. Lin Li looked refreshed and even turned back to make an orchid-finger gesture.
His life creed was quite simple.
If people didn't offend him, he... might occasionally offend them by accident anyway. But if people offended him, he would definitely act like an asshole.
Run after saying hehe—so satisfying! Wang Yuezhi had clearly targeted him on purpose this time. He had started it with his mouth.
When he returned to his seat, Bai Bufan and the others immediately gathered around to ask what had happened.
Lin Li told them the part they had missed.
Since they had already carried out several exorcisms on Lin Li, they had no doubts that Lin Li's goal was to study. Still, Bai Bufan frowned and asked, "Is your real intention really in the wine?"
"My geography's pretty good too. Want me to teach you?" Even good students could make absurd jokes. The people Lin Li got along with naturally included some who studied well.
"If a guy teaches me, I cough." Lin Li naturally refused.
"You bastard." Everyone laughed and left. They had not even finished breakfast yet.
Zhou Baowei, however, did not leave.
"What is it?" Lin Li asked.
"I just put down my breakfast and wanted to find you, but you ran to the front to flirt." Zhou Baowei said.
"What is it?"
"The organization has assigned you to pick up a batch of goods. A very important batch." Zhou Baowei lowered his voice, like they were members of some underground organization making contact.
"What's the code phrase?" Lin Li also lowered his voice knowingly.
"It's here." Zhou Baowei handed Lin Li a slip of paper. "Burn after reading."
Nan Sang Star Stationery Store Rookie Collection Point 8-4-2663
"Understood. I guarantee the mission will be completed. I'll get it for you at noon." Lin Li nodded and tucked the note into his pocket.
"Remember to keep the shipment confidential. The packaging absolutely can't have any damage. I'll treat you to dinner." Zhou Baowei said cautiously.
Lin Li narrowed his eyes and gave Zhou Baowei a meaningful look.
Zhou Baowei returned the same look.
Their wavelengths connected.
Lin Li suddenly began singing, "Bro, if you guide me once, I'll guide you twice!"
"Bro, if you guide me twice, I'll guide you four times!" Zhou Baowei instantly followed the lyrics, adjusted his nonexistent glasses like Sakamoto, and pointed at Lin Li.
The lyrics were outrageous, but there really was a song like that. Its title was "Spring Breeze Elf."
"Bro, if you guide me four times, I'll guide you eight times!" Bai Bufan chimed in too.
"Bro, if you guide me eight times, I'll guide you sixteen times!" Zhou Baowei sang again, then pointed both hands at Lin Li, handing him the climactic part of the song.
But Lin Li did not pick it up for a long time, and Bai Bufan did not sing either.
It seemed they were leaving the biggest stage for him.
Good brothers.
When it came to singing, he really had some talent.
With no other choice, Zhou Baowei cleared his throat and sang with deep feeling, "My brother and I share an Arctic surf clam~~ Why is my brother's sweat dripping on my back~~"
"My brother and I..."
"Baowei, move aside. You're blocking the Class Monitor." Lin Li said, suppressing the corners of his mouth.
"Yeah, Baowei." Bai Bufan laughed like Da Li Wang again and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Baowei: "?"
He mechanically turned his head. Chen Yuying was standing behind him, looking somewhat at a loss.
"Lin Li, I think you forgot to get me chopsticks. Do you have any..." she asked weakly.
"Oh, right, here they are. Class Monitor, here you go. Sorry." Only then did Lin Li notice and hand Chen Yuying a pair of disposable chopsticks.
"Okay, thanks."
Zhou Baowei stood to the side, his face pale, muttering nonstop under his breath. It was impossible to hear clearly, but he was probably praying.
What do I do? Save me! What do I do? Save me! That was the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Li.
I'll save you. That was Lin Li's responding look.
Please! Zhou Baowei was so grateful he was nearly in tears.
"Class Monitor!"
"What is it?"
"You didn't hear Zhou Baowei singing that Arctic surf clam song just now, did you?" Lin Li asked loudly.
After freezing for a moment, Chen Yuying shook her head like a rattle drum, then quickly walked away.
"Now you can rest easy, right? The Class Monitor said she didn't hear it." Lin Li said to Zhou Baowei with a smile.
"..."
Could he rest easy? He could. Not only had he relaxed, he had died.
"You two did that on purpose just now, didn't you?! Lin Li, I'm fucking going to kill you! Bai Bufan, don't stop me!" Zhou Baowei's face twisted ferociously.
Bai Bufan nodded, signaling for Zhou Baowei to go ahead. Just do it.
"Then no one will pick up your package for you." Lin Li smiled disdainfully.
"Does the package still matter at a time like this?" Zhou Baowei was truly angry. "Lin Li, I'm killing you this afternoon!"
"I suddenly remembered I have something to do at noon, so I probably won't be leaving campus."
"Lin Li, I'm killing you tonight!"
"I'm not picking it up."
"...Bro, I was wrong. I won't kill you."
A friend's book recommendation:
"I, Lu Mingfei, Naruto's Spiritual Mentor of the Akatsuki"
"Hello, my name is Lu Mingfei. I'm a loser, an outcast, with no friends. I have a little demon. I know what I should do, but I'm powerless to do it."
"Hello, my name is Uzumaki Naruto. I'm a Dead Last, and an outcast too. I also have no friends. I have a big fox. I have power, but I don't know what I should do."
Lu Mingfei looked at the brainwashing Hiruzen Sarutobi and The Book of Sealing in his hands. Naruto looked at the peaceful modern world and The Art of Thick Blackness in his hands. Then they suddenly exchanged knowing smiles.
