Bai Bufan? I Wish Him All the Best.

"Hey! Don't call me a pervert! I already tried my best to describe it to you in an elegant way. Not a single dirty word from beginning to end." Lin Li anticipated Chen Yuying's reaction. The moment he saw her expression gradually turn to understanding, her eyes widening as she was about to speak, he immediately raised a finger and pointed at her for emphasis.

Chen Yuying's cheeks were faintly flushed. She pressed her lower lip with her upper teeth before letting it spring free, leaving behind a glistening sheen. She hesitated, started to speak, stopped herself, then tried again. In the end, she merely said, "I think you should apologize to David Tao."

"David Tao said he didn't mind." Lin Li shrugged.

But under Chen Yuying's gaze, he soon surrendered. Raising both hands, he readily issued an apology declaration:

"Fine, I'm sorry, Teacher David Tao. Actually, I really like your R&B, especially that song, 'Small City Great Love.'"

"That's Wang Leehom's song, and it's called 'Great City Small Love.' Now you have to apologize to both of them at once!" Chen Yuying lightly pressed a hand to her forehead, though she also realized Lin Li was doing it on purpose, and there was a hint of laughter in her voice.

"So now you understand what Light Hum means, right? Of course you can't use David Tao to describe a girl. If I had to describe one, I could..."

"No, no, thank you. I understand already. There's no need to describe it further." Chen Yuying hurriedly interrupted Lin Li's casting. She still couldn't be as effortlessly perverted as Lin Li.

Lin Li, who had just been about to perform another round of Er Kang's "I can't see," could only stop reluctantly.

He then explained the origin of Light Hum to Chen Yuying, though he solemnly warned her not to browse Tieba. Browsing Tieba would only make people unhappy—unless she wanted to open an internet cafe on a budget, in which case that was another matter.

"Any other perverted questions you want to ask me?" Lin Li realized after saying it that the sentence sounded rather strange.

Why did he feel like Chen Yuying's pervert mentor now? Lin Li felt rather wronged about taking the blame for that.

"Yes. Do you guys really buy those... cups, then use them in the dorm?" Chen Yuying was very curious about what she had overheard that morning.

"Just talk. Oh, right, Class Monitor, help clear my buddy's name while you're at it. What Bao bought for him wasn't what you thought it was. We were just joking around. Who would use that kind of thing in the dorm?" Lin Li shrugged.

"I checked at noon. He bought Ma Yinglong. When I asked, I found out Bai Bufan had hemorrhoids."

Bai Bufan, the guy who liked declaring to pretty Female Bodhisattvas that he had hemorrhoid cancer, huh? Heh heh.

When Lin Li took revenge, even three days was too long.

"But you go home every day. Did you buy one?" Sadly, Chen Yuying did not care about Bai Bufan. Her ability to spot a loophole was quite impressive instead.

"I didn't." Lin Li shook his head. "If I were going to buy one, it'd be after I had my own place someday. Class Monitor, have you considered how awkward it would be if your family found something like that?"

"That's true." Chen Yuying nodded. Judging by her expression, she seemed a little regretful that she could not learn more, but she did not press further. Instead, she shook her head. "I don't have any more questions. Thank you for answering them."

"Nothing worth mentioning. You teach me how to study in the future, and I'll teach you how to be perverted. We both have bright futures ahead of us." Lin Li waved a hand modestly.

"Then shall we continue with the questions you can't do? The ones in the textbook that aren't basic." Chen Yuying did not want to admit how bright that future was, so she decided to steer the topic back to business.

"Okay."

For the remainder of the time, since no new mission was triggered, Lin Li and Chen Yuying simply continued their normal study session.

Lin Li was fairly serious about it. After all, not taking it seriously at a time like this would be rather disrespectful, and it genuinely helped improve his grades too.

Seeing the two finally get back on track with studying, Wang Yuezhi looked like a cuckold in a porn comic who, after watching the couple finally finish, let out a long sigh while tears still dripped down his face. Ding Sihan, meanwhile, wore a regretful expression at not getting to see anything more novel, like some onlooker eager for gossip. Wang Ze, however, stared loyally and single-mindedly at Wang Yuezhi.

When he noticed Lin Li's gaze, he even gave him a thumbs-up—With me here, nothing will go wrong.

Lunch break ended. The warning bell, which reminded them class would begin in ten minutes while also waking the dorm students, had already rung.

"Damn it, that saying was right. When people are desperate, they can do anything—except solve math problems." After calculating that every room could house three divided by Square Root of Two people, Lin Li painfully clawed at his hair.

Why couldn't people be square-rooted?

Chen Yuying, who had been doing her homework beside him because Lin Li had no questions, stretched lazily. Her altered School Uniform fit closer than a normal one, and her lovely curves lengthened with the movement.

"It's actually the same as the question I just taught you. It's only been slightly altered. Try it yourself; I'm not going to teach it all over again right now." Looking at the pained, frowning Lin Li, Chen Yuying smiled.

The joy math geniuses felt watching people bad at math get tortured by it was beyond what outsiders could imagine.

"I'll work harder on it during Evening Self-Study."

"Mm. If you have questions, come ask me again tomorrow at noon. I'm basically in the classroom every noon anyway." Chen Yuying had already packed her things and was preparing to return to her seat.

Although the main reason for doing this today had been the system, considering that more missions might inexplicably trigger later, Lin Li had no reason to refuse and nodded.

Having a quiet, pretty, sweet-voiced, and intelligent girl as a deskmate—the joy of that was also beyond what outsiders could imagine.

He wanted to switch deskmates.

As for Bai Bufan, Lin Li wished him all the best.

Really, Lin Li suddenly remembered that they were not even that close.

A brother would take two blades for his buddy, and for a woman, he would stab his buddy twice. Bufan would understand.

People said women were like clothes and brothers were like limbs. But everyone sympathized with and took care of disabled people, while they called people who did not wear clothes perverts, didn't they? Which was more important was obvious at a glance.

"Alright, then I'll still bring you breakfast tomorrow. Same as today?" Lin Li returned the favor. After all, he really had taken up nearly half of Chen Yuying's noon, and he would continue troubling her in the future.

Chen Yuying wanted to refuse, but Lin Li was rather forceful. After a brief back-and-forth, under Lin Li's "threat" that he would not buy extra for himself, Chen Yuying could only accept helplessly.

She definitely would not take any money.

With the reward from Anti-Vice Vanguard, he would not be short of this little money anytime soon.

Lin Li then stood and headed for the restroom.

It was time to reap the rewards.

You have obtained rewards: Physique Improvement: Mecha Synchronization Index +10; Random Limb and Organ Enhancement Opportunity ×1; System Currency ×50. Would you like to add Protruding Organ to the random pool for "Random Limb and Organ Enhancement Opportunity"?

A strange smile appeared on Lin Li's face.

How could he possibly add it to the random pool? What was the point of enhancing that place? This was obviously the system's bad taste.

Oh no! He was so careless that he accidentally tapped "Yes"! It was over, completely over! What terrible luck. Could the system give him another chance? Please confirm your choice again: Add.

Lin Li: "..."

No, bro, you're really giving me another chance? Wasn't this supposed to be final once chosen?

Then what was that "struggle" in his heart just now? This was making him look really awkward. Lin Li began to suspect the system was actually intelligent, but deliberately kept quiet about it.

What should he choose now?

Lin Li guiltily turned his head aside and whistled.

Then he could not hold it in anymore and laughed. Why was he still lying to himself? No more pretending—time to come clean!

You have confirmed again. Protruding Organ has been added to the random pool for "Random Limb and Organ Enhancement Opportunity."
