Chapter 139: The Eastern land does not allow sleeping naked

"Midsummer," "sunrise," "cicada chirping," "orange-flavored soda," "youth"—how would you use these words to form a sentence?

Lin Li would probably answer, "In midsummer, Bai Bufan used orange-flavored soda to sunrise the youth into cicada chirping."

Of course, Bai Bufan being sunrise-ed by cicada chirping is also fine; this question has no standard answer.

As for Chen Yuying, faced with this prompt, no matter how she formed the sentence, she would likely think of the scene before her.

Using her warm thighs to clamp down her skirt, she freed one hand to brush aside her hair, making the scene clear, and saw Lin Li's other free hand held high, having just caught the sun hat that had been blown away.

Perhaps he hadn't expected to catch it himself; Lin Li's smile carried deep surprise, followed by a bit of showing off. Just looking at this expression, Chen Yuying felt she could hear his voice saying, "How about that? Isn't it cool?"

So, although Lin Li didn't actually ask, Chen Yuying still gave him a thumbs up.

Lin Li, who was singing "Wild Child" in a duet with Wen Shuyang, noticed this and smiled even more brightly, pressing the sun hat onto his own head, transforming into Michael Jackson and doing a moonwalk that didn't look like a moonwalk at all.

The laughter on the lawn became even more melodious because of this.

……

Time hid itself in the singing and slipped away.

"Battery low, please charge."

The music volume suddenly dropped, and a mechanical prompt sounded from the speaker.

"It's dead, it's dead." Hearing this sound, Lin Li shook the wand in his hand slightly after another song ended and said to everyone.

Although there were certainly power banks present, they were indeed a bit tired of singing.

"Boo—" Deep love, deep hate; these humanoid things, who were his fanatical fans just a moment ago, now started booing, "That's it? You're done?"

"How can a man say he's not..." Bai Bufan was about to continue fanning the flames, but suddenly realized Lin Li didn't say he wasn't capable; he said it was "dead."

Bai Bufan blinked.

The person who invented the term "dead" was a genius.

A man can indeed say he's "dead."

"You guys should just be happy. In a few years when I hold a concert, the seats you're in now will cost tens of thousands to snatch in the front row. You don't know how lucky you are. You should know, Jielun is known as Little Lin Li." Lin Li gave them the middle finger and then laughed and scolded:

"Besides, you guys aren't tired, but my WeChat steps went up by two thousand, damn it!"

Although Lin Li hadn't moved more than five meters relative to the distance, jumping around and pointing fingers was also very tiring, not to mention he was the one who sang the most.

Thirsty as hell, Lin Li returned to his bag under the tree, sat down with a thud, took out his plastic bottle, and began to drink greedily.

The plastic bottle made a crackling sound and gradually flattened.

"Ah—I'm alive again." Half the bottle of water was gone, and Lin Li let out a long sigh.

Feeling the ice-cold water pouring into his body, Lin Li leaned comfortably against the tree trunk.

As for whether it was dirty or not, a 32.9-yuan shirt that now had two extra holes didn't need to be considered that much.

The fate of such a shirt was either to be used as pajamas or as a rag to mop the floor at home.

"Don't you want to wipe some sweat?" Chen Yuying, who was beside him, handed a tissue to Lin Li.

Hearing this, Lin Li let his hands hang limply and leaned his head toward Chen Yuying: "Class Monitor, you might not know, but my holy sword is like the Golden Cudgel; it looks light, but it actually weighs 500 grams. My hands have no strength right now..."

Before he could finish speaking, his vision was half-blocked by a snow-white palm, and the tissue moved left and right against his forehead, absorbing the sweat.

A faint coolness, a faint fragrance.

"You're really wiping it?" After a pause, Lin Li spoke.

"Hmm?" Chen Yuying tilted her head slightly, allowing their gazes to meet again.

"The heat has all flown away, yay." Lin Li gave a thumbs up.

Chen Yuying laughed.

"Wipe the rest yourself when your hands recover," Chen Yuying said after simply wiping his forehead, then placed the tissue next to Lin Li.

To prevent Ding Sihan from serving him with steel wool, Lin Li quickly wiped off the sweat himself.

"Lin Li, when we go down the mountain later, do you want to walk down yourself?" Chen Yuying asked. "If you still want to, you have to tell the teacher early and leave now, after all, we can't let everyone wait for us at the bottom of the mountain."

"Want to... I don't know right now either." Hearing this, Lin Li pressed the back of his hand against his nose and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I have a serious case of procrastination, I can't make a decision right now."

Chen Yuying: "?"

Procrastination shouldn't be a symptom like that, right?

"Just kidding, let's take the cable car down the mountain." After thinking about it, the system probably wouldn't issue a task like that. Seeing Chen Yuying's strange expression, Lin Li changed his tune.

If it really issued a task, at worst, he'd just buy a ticket and come over after going home.

"Okay." Chen Yuying nodded.

The tree bark was rugged and uncomfortable to lean against. After the conversation ended, Lin Li lay on the ground again, playing with his phone vigorously.

—Vigorously refers to the physical sense of force; Lin Li didn't want the phone to hit his face.

After the revelry, the lawn became quiet again, with only some people whispering.

Chen Yuying looked at her phone, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

"Hey, Lin Li, look..." When she swiped to a very interesting video, Chen Yuying turned her head, wanting to share it with Lin Li, but immediately stopped her voice.

Lin Li's legs, which had been bent, were now flat, one hand covering his eyes, one hand on his chest, and the phone hung casually around his neck.

He was asleep.

Chen Yuying smiled, trying her best to avoid making any sound.

After looking at her phone for a few more seconds, Chen Yuying always felt something was strange. She turned and stared at Lin Li for a few more times, then picked up a leaf from the ground and placed it on Lin Li's stomach.

Only then did Chen Yuying nod with satisfaction.

The ancestral law cannot be changed; you must cover something when sleeping while lying down.

Chen Yuying looked at her phone for a second, then turned her head again.

Hmm... should I cover another one?

……

"Lin Li, Lin Li."

The surrounding sounds became noisy. Hearing someone calling his name, Lin Li opened his eyes.

Opening his eyes, it was Bai Bufan's super-large humanoid face. He smiled and congratulated him: "The surgery was very successful. You are now a girl. Go try mugwort."

"So disgusting." Lin Li murmured softly and closed his eyes again.

Bai Bufan: "……"

Your mother.

Lin Li wouldn't find those words disgusting; it was clear that what he was evaluating was his own face.

When a person just wakes up, it is very difficult for the brain to tell lies, especially since Lin Li was murmuring softly. This "so disgusting" instantly ignored all of Bai Bufan's defenses and caused real damage.

"Go die here. I'll feed the 'little brother' cut off during surgery to Baowei." Bai Bufan got up and kicked Lin Li's calf.

Lin Li kicked back at the air.

"Lin Li, get up, it's time to gather and go down the mountain." Chen Yuying's voice came from far away.

Now he had to get up.

Lin Li sat up, rubbed his eyes, and then looked up in surprise. Is this big tree losing its hair so severely?

He shouldn't have slept for long, so why was his stomach full of fallen leaves, and even small white flowers?

Patting off the fallen leaves and stretching, Chen Yuying and the others must have just returned from the restroom, their hands still a little wet.

The moment they made eye contact with Lin Li, Ding Sihan and Chen Yuying laughed first.

"What's wrong?" Lin Li was a little puzzled.

"Nothing." Ding Sihan shook her head and stepped forward to cover Chen Yuying's mouth, who was about to speak.

There's a dog.

Lin Li sighed: "Class Monitor, lend me a mirror."

Right, right, right, right, down, there was also an arrow of unknown meaning, pointing to Lin Li's mouth.

Others are full of righteousness, Lin Li is full of the character "Zheng" (Right).

As for the criminal suspect, the girls should be ruled out. Lin Li smiled and walked toward the pile of boys: "Who did it?"

"It should be Sun Xiaochuan." Wang Ze said with a smile.

"Anyway, that guy is going to get hemorrhoids and perianal abscesses tomorrow." Lin Li added with a cold smile.

Hearing this, Bai Bufan frowned and persuaded: "Lin Li, I think whether it's Sun Xiaochuan or not, he might just be joking, there's no need to curse him so viciously."

Only criminals empathize with criminals.

Lin Li chased after him, Bai Bufan ran away, but after running a few steps, he tripped over the lawn.

"Run, why aren't you running?"

"Sorry, sorry, sorry..." Facing Lin Li, who was following closely and pinning him down, Bai Bufan apologized with a forced smile.

"Sorry? Is an apology useful? Kneel down, look up, let me see your tongue coating!" Lin Li touched the character "Zheng" on his face and revealed a vengeful smile.

"Then can I see Bufan's perianal abscess? I have an urgent matter, it's you." Wang Ze asked after hearing this.

"Can you guys look at something normal?" Bai Bufan was truly scared now, covering his mouth and butt, curled up, pitiful, weak, and helpless.

……

"Alright, everyone, check to see if everyone is here. If everyone is here, we'll take the cable car down the mountain and go back." Walking to the door, Xue Jian clapped his hands to attract attention and said loudly.

"Hey, where's Baowei?"

When Xue Jian said this, Lin Li and Bai Bufan realized Zhou Baowei hadn't followed.

The two looked at each other and tacitly turned back.

I saw a wisp of white smoke curling up in the barbecue area, and Zhou Baowei next to the smoke showed a devout look at the skewers.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan finally understood why most shops providing self-service would strictly limit it to two hours.

Zhou Baowei is truly selfish, not considering the feelings of the toilet at all.

Lin Li didn't even dare to think about what a big challenge his toilet would face tonight.

"Let's go! Baowei! Stop eating, damn it!" The two shouted.

"Huh? Hmm? Oh!" Zhou Baowei finally looked up, got up, and prepared to follow, but after walking two steps, he hesitated again. Looking at the skewers that should not have been grilled yet, he hardened his heart, grabbed them, stuffed them into his mouth, and licked them clean at light speed, then shouted vaguely at the two: "Coming."

Lin Li, Bai Bufan: "……"

Toilet-kun, it's okay, at least you shouldn't be clogged.

After all, he will most likely have diarrhea.

"Good!" But everyone applauded vigorously after he roared, and Zhou Baowei also waved his skewers to signal his fans.

Everyone laughed.

"Next, let's do it together!" Conductor Lin Li ordered again.

"Look at the flowers drifting in the sky, withering at their most beautiful moment..."

Finding the lyrics on her phone, Chen Yuying swayed with the surrounding voices, singing along softly.

……

Xue Jian listened to the chorus of his students from afar, a gentle smile on his face that Lin Li never usually saw.

A song about the regrets of youth, yet they had sung it with a feeling of youthful exuberance.

But then again.

They were already in the midst of their youth.

……

After "Old Boys" finished, Lin Li changed the song; this time it was the even more familiar Phoenix Legend.

He quite simply divided everyone interested into male and female vocal parts, standing in the middle and pointing them out (physically).

Perhaps knowing that some people would be shy and afraid to sing without the original vocals, Lin Li would always provide backing vocals to guide them at the right moments.

The atmosphere on the lawn gradually became heated.

Even for the shyest and most introverted Yu Yu, Chen Yuying could hear her voice singing along with everyone else.

And Wen Shuyang, who loved singing the most in the dormitory, took the initiative to have Lin Li play a few songs so she could lead the singing.

Chen Yuying looked at the lyrics on her phone from time to time, and then at Lin Li, who was shining in the sunlight, occasionally catching a few drops of sweat falling that contained vigorous vitality.

Lin Li bathed in the breeze, his spirit unrestrained, and the action of constantly waving the conductor's baton in his hand was full of youthful spirit.

……

Another new intro began to play.

When Chen Yuying, who was a bit dazed, came back to her senses, she suddenly realized this was the intro to Su Yunying's "Wild Child."

And the first line of this song is...

Chen Yuying looked up, and Lin Li also turned to look at her, the straight conductor's baton cutting through the air, connecting their gazes.

"No matter how fierce the wind blows, my heart sways even more—"

The world seemed to respond to Lin Li's will, and the conductor's baton in his hand turned into Harry Potter's wand.

The wind picked up.

A gust of wind that suddenly grew stronger blew over everyone present, rolling up the corners of the picnic mats, blowing away someone's hat, and bringing about someone's exclamation.

Chen Yuying pressed her hands against the hem of her skirt to prevent it from flying up.

But because of this, her waterfall-like hair was unrestrained, swaying wantonly with the wind.

Many, many strands of hair covered her face.

But through the gaps, Chen Yuying could still capture Lin Li's brilliant smile.

I wonder if Lin Li can see my smile through them?

The wind was still growing stronger.

"No matter how fierce the wind blows, my heart sways even more—"

……

No matter how fierce the wind blows, my heart sways even more?

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 140 =====

"Lin Li, did you save it? Send it to me quickly!" Ding Sihan looked at Lin Li expectantly; she had fought for so much time for him.

"No, I didn't have time." Hearing this terrible news, Lin Li shook his head with regret.

"You trash!! You useless thing!"

"I'm sorry!!" Lin Li apologized at the top of his lungs.

Chen Yuying let out a huge sigh of relief.

Saved.

Next time she does something so childish and embarrassing, she must be more vigilant.

She opened her phone.

A group chat that had been pushed down by other messages popped up; it was the group from last night that only had her and Lin Li left in it, with the group name "Memo 3."

She tapped it open.

The familiar video.

Chen Yuying: "..."

"Chen Yuying:?"

"Lin Li recalled a message."

"Lin Li: Sorry, this group is also in my memo group, so I forwarded it by mistake. Class monitor, just pretend you didn't see it. Thanks for your cooperation."
