"Alright, since you put it that way, I can understand it. After all, I'm indeed quite excellent."

"Right?" Lin Li snapped his fingers, patted Chen Yu Ying's shoulder, and gave Ding Sihan his blessings:

"Dingzi, with your qualities, you don't even need my help."

"Trust me, someday you'll meet a guy you like, dressed in golden armor, riding on a rainbow cloud, holding a bouquet of flowers, and saying gently and sincerely to you, 'Excuse me, could you move aside, ma'am, you're blocking the way.'"

Ding Sihan: "?"

Thought Lin Li was trying to soften up to her, turns out he was poisoning her.

"Yu Ying! Move aside! Today I'm going to make you a widow!! Ma'am! I'll call you ma'am!!"—Haji Han reacted.

"Alright~"—Chen Yu Ying smiled and cooperatively moved half a step to the side.

"Hey! Is my baby this heartless?—Tianming! Save me! Or I'll make Yao Qiaoqiao a widow!"—Lin Li ran towards Chen Tianming.

"Will she grieve for me if I die? Haha~ Haha~ If that day ever comes, during the family memorial, don't forget to inform me, I'll die first!"—Chen Tianming dodged Lin Li while showing his pink bubbles.

Lin Li: "Hey, you motherf*cker."

...

Afternoon.

"Alright, class dismissed." Xue Jian went overtime for more than a minute to finish explaining the topic, then signaled the end of the class.

A few students immediately grabbed their test papers and gathered around to ask questions.

"Phew—"

Bai Bufan leaned back against his chair, took a deep breath, scratched his head, and lamented:

"This math class is really driving me crazy. Whenever they talk about difficult problems, half the time I'm thinking, 'What the heck is he talking about? I can't understand at all,' damn."

"That's already good," Zhou Baowei on the other side heard the complaint and looked over, "At least you can understand for more than half the time. I'm totally lost; I suggest making math an elective subject."

Bai Bufan heard that, gave a bitter laugh, turned his head to meet Zhou Baowei's gaze:

"Who told you I understood for the other half of the time? What I actually thought during those times was, 'What the heck is he talking about again? Completely lost.'"

Zhou Baowei: "…"

Who taught Bai Bufan to categorize like this.

But Bao Wei felt comforted, right, this is the Bai Bufan he knows, it'd be odd if he suddenly understood everything, almost thought Lin Li led him astray completely.

After chatting with Bufan, Zhou Baowei glanced at his other side, his deskmate.

"My gentle, conversational, beautiful young girl… my gentle, conversational, beautiful young girl… she actually thought my name sounds nice… but I don't even know her name…"—the soul-drifted Qin Zeyu, his gaze vacant, still muttering.

Zhou Baowei shook his head in disgust.

Don't get it.

What's so good about dating, having a girlfriend might mean fighting over food, just imagining it is off-putting.

Lin Li came over, patted Qin Zeyu's shoulder, looked sympathetic, sighed, and said apologetically:

"Hey, Zeyu, don't be like that, I was fooling around, that girl at noon, I exaggerated her looks, forget it, actually… actually she's a guy. I made it up to mess with you, don't dwell on it, it's all good, there's always next time."

"Lin Li, stop comforting me!! Damn it! My gentle, conversational, beautiful young girl! Why is there destiny without fate?! Why didn't you help me just get her contact at noon…" Qin Zeyu heard this and felt even more saddened, said dejectedly.

Yang Bangjie noticed Chen Tianming beside him suddenly laughed, looked over curiously: "What's up?"

"Nothing," Chen Tianming turned his head towards the classroom corridor, "Sorry, this math problem was kind of funny, couldn't hold it."

F*ck, retreating to advance, Lin Li is truly a bastard.

Just before Lin Li could continue to share heartfelt words with Qin Zeyu, Xue Jian on the podium had resolved the issue, holding his paper and heading directly towards Lin Li at the back row, target locked.

"What's up, teacher."

"The day after tomorrow noon, the electrician will come for maintenance and renovation," Xue Jian got straight to the point, "To save time, they're planning to cut the power five minutes after class to start the work. What's your plan? Finish your meal first, find me, and I'll take you there?"

"I can go right after class, as for lunch I can settle it earlier." Lin Li thought for a moment and answered.

The sooner he gets involved, the higher the chance of mission success.

And who knows how long Xue Jian takes for lunch, waiting would be troublesome.

"You aren't planning to eat self-heating hotpot during tomorrow's class, are you?!" Xue Jian's expression shifted, watching Lin Li anxiously and warily: "Don't even think about it!"

Originally not interested, Zhou Baowei, along with Huang Yi and Zhou Jiana, perked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"No," Lin Li reluctantly waved his hands, wondering why Xue Jian held such bias against him, "I was just going to get some sandwiches or bread to eat during class."

"Phew, eating those in class is more acceptable. Okay, wait in the classroom tomorrow noon, I'll take you over after class."

"Okay, teacher."

Xue Jian wasn't inclined to say more, waved goodbye, off to teach humanity in class five.

After Xue Jian left, the guys naturally asked about what Lin Li was up to the next day at noon. Surprised that Lin Li was actually keen on such things, but they lost interest and didn't probe further.

Bai Bufan, on the other hand, was eager.

With Lin Li around, he'd be willing to go—that's the bond behind 259 "I love you"s.

But, unfortunately, with Xue Jian present, Bai Bufan knew Old Jian would definitely interfere, so he regrettably had to give up.
