Chapter 167: I will compensate you with my youth

"You're right, they really are all little black people. So it turns out that 'Lao Da' has been protecting us silently in this way all along. Is there a safety sign with a small helicopter?"

Lin Li looked at the black people on the signs and said emotionally.

The disheveled Bai Bufan stared at Lin Li with wide eyes. How did this beast in front of him manage to seamlessly connect to the topic from a few minutes ago after ravaging him?

Could the matter of hitting him just be forgotten like that?

It seemed it really could.

Endure. The day he successfully quits lust is the day of Lin Li's death.

Will he win? He will win.

Hating the house and its crow, Bai Bufan sneered while patting the dust off his body: "A guy like you who only knows the Kobe meme when seeing black people is annoying. Lao Da had 5 championships, 2 FMVPs, 1 MVP, and 30,000 points in achievements. What are you, heh."

"A living person." Lin Li replied calmly.

"..."

Such a cold but serious answer made Bai Bufan laugh first.

"Hehe, what a coincidence, so am I." Scanning with his peripheral vision, Bai Bufan pointed to the distance and said, "But there really is a 24 over there."

There was a lighted basketball court near Nanxin Lake Park. The sound of basketball shoes rubbing against the ground, the sound of basketballs hitting the ground, and the shouts of boys came faintly.

And the one Bai Bufan was pointing at was someone wearing an iced black tea jersey playing basketball.

"Damn, those who dare to play basketball on an outdoor public court have such strong skills. Like me, I really don't dare to make a fool of myself in public."

After watching the technique from afar for a while, Bai Bufan once again performed his classic standing fadeaway jump shot into the air, saying with envy.

Although Lin Li and Bai Bufan were among the tallest in Class 4, Grade 1, Bai Bufan's basketball skills were very average, and Lin Li's were very bad.

Lin Li only played with classmates in his class during PE class, and usually, it was playing half-court 3-on-3. Because of his height, he was pulled over and thrown into the inside line, responsible for grabbing rebounds.

Because his athletic ability wasn't good before, he still couldn't grab many, but now he didn't know what level he was at.

As for the sentence "You're so tall, why don't you play basketball," Lin Li was tired of hearing it.

Walking anywhere was walking. After hearing Lin Li and Bai Bufan say this, plus the fountain was scheduled to start on the hour and they weren't in a hurry now, the leading girls also changed their direction slightly and leaned toward the basketball court.

Separated by the wire fence set up to prevent balls from rolling onto the road, they watched the people inside sweating.

Number 24's movements were very clean; it was a bit OOC (out of character).

"Damn life winner, I don't know whose girlfriend she is, she's so good-looking." Bai Bufan looked at the woman suspected to be someone's girlfriend on the bench next to the court and said with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Consider this after you stop being afraid of women." Lin Li said amusedly.

"Is Feifei okay? When the monthly exam ends, she should be coming out too, right?" Bai Bufan said with deep language upon hearing this.

"Who is Feifei?" Qu Wanqiu asked curiously, as Bai Bufan didn't lower his voice much.

"Someone I will never see again."

"... Sorry."

Bai Bufan let out a long sigh; fortunately, she didn't continue to ask.

"Being good at playing basketball is really a big plus," Ding Si reached out and put her hand on the wire fence, looking at the basketball court, her expression longing: "I think, every girl has probably fantasized about a scene, being hit by a ball by a tall and handsome boy, and then the other party chooses to compensate with an entire bright youth."

"A shot put?" Lin Li asked.

Ding Si: "?"

The love story suddenly turned into a murder story.

"... Basketball!" Ding Si corrected.

"But basketball wouldn't lead to jail, right? Do you have to spend your whole youth in jail?" Lin Li didn't understand even more. This punishment was too severe; just thinking about it made him feel wronged, "Ding Si, are you really unwilling to issue a letter of understanding? You're a bit excessive."

Ding Si looked at Lin Li, her face flushed.

From anger.

She took a deep breath, pointed at Lin Li with her finger super forcefully, and said angrily: "Lin Li! You atmosphere destroyer! You really don't understand romance at all! Compensating with youth is figurative, not concrete! Your top priority now is to read more love stories and cultivate your emotional intelligence and romance!

Otherwise, a guy like you is destined to be lonely until you die!"

Chen Yu's gaze followed the basketball in the distance, watching it hit the net and make a pleasant sound of the net jumping. Listening to the dialogue coming from both the left and right, she covered her mouth and laughed softly.

Lin Li was mostly doing it on purpose; after all, Lin Li who doesn't act like a jerk isn't Lin Li. Si actually knew it clearly too. Don't look at her looking very angry now, in reality, she didn't dislike it at all. In private, she had said many good things about Lin Li in front of her, thinking Lin Li was very interesting.

Thinking about it, raising a creature like Lin Li would indeed be very fun, right?

"Love stories? I read them often. I have one that is still fresh in my memory. Do you want me to share it with you?" Lin Li pondered for a moment, then extended an index finger toward the sky, like a master of ideas.

The three girls all turned to look at Lin Li. Although they actually knew clearly that Lin Li's mouth would likely not spit out any good love stories, they were still curious and urged: "Tell us."

"Once upon a time, there was a Bai Bufan who suffered from depression. He liked a tree very much, so he confessed to the tree, but the tree didn't give a clear answer, just kept hanging him." Lin Li's love story was very short, and it could be finished in one sentence.

What a sad love story.

Bai, Chen, Ding, Qu: "..."

Chen Yu pursed her lips and suddenly turned her head to bury it in Ding Si's shoulder, her body trembling slightly.

Woo woo woo, the merits she had finally accumulated over the past fifteen years were all going to be deducted after getting familiar with Lin Li.

Lin Li is so annoying.

"If you say it like that, I have a love story too." Bai Bufan extended an index finger toward the sky and also transformed into a master of ideas, drawing inferences from one instance, "Once upon a time, there was a Lin Li who liked to explore. He met a snake while exploring. The snake liked Lin Li very much, but Lin Li rejected its confession, but the snake was unwilling to give up, so it kept entangling him."

Lin Li turned his head upon hearing this, looking at Bai Bufan with a sense of cherishing each other, and the two tacitly high-fived at the same time.

My path is not lonely.

"There's another love story, do you want to hear it?" After the three calmed down, Lin Li continued to ask with a smile.

"Don't listen, don't listen, what you're saying isn't a love story at all!" Ding Si firmly covered her ears and shook her head.

Lin Li was a bit unwilling; it was too uncomfortable not to be allowed to speak, so he added: "This time it's a fairy tale. In the end, the princess and the prince lived happily ever after, and it was true and pure happiness. I swear."

Ding Si narrowed her eyes, looking at Lin Li with slight skepticism. It was hard for her to imagine hearing such a fairy tale from Lin Li's mouth, although she knew curiosity kills merits, she couldn't help but nod:

"I'll believe you one more time, tell me."

"One day, an old grandfather and an old grandmother were rowing a boat in the lake. The old grandmother accidentally fell into the lake.

At this time, a goddess rose from the lake water and asked the old grandfather, 'Was it the princess or the old grandmother who just fell down?' The old grandfather naturally honestly said it was the old grandmother, so the goddess was overjoyed, 'You are truly an honest person, I will give you the princess.'

After the princess appeared, she immediately kicked the old grandfather off the boat.

At this time, a goddess rose from the lake water and asked the princess, 'Was it the prince or the old grandfather who just fell down?' The princess also honestly said it was the old grandfather, so the goddess was overjoyed, 'You are truly an honest person, I will give you the prince.'

From then on, the princess and the prince lived happily ever after, forever."

Lin Li's smile carried a fairy-tale-like dreaminess as he recounted this happy and perfect ending story.

Bai, Chen, Ding, Qu: "..."

The ending seemed perfect, but he always felt something was wrong.

"What about the old grandfather and the old grandmother?" Qu Wanqiu asked.

"Gulu gulu gulu." Lin Li immediately made an onomatopoeia.

Qu Wanqiu: "..."

God damn gulu gulu gulu, the scene of sinking to the bottom was imagined.

It was also turned into pond mud to feed the fish.

"Ah ah ah!" Ding Si began to slap her own mouth, "I let you want to listen to Lin Li's stories! I let you want to listen to Lin Li's stories! My spirit is polluted! You really deserve it!"

"Teacher Ding, don't be like this! Teacher Ding, don't be like this!" Lin Li tried his best to stop her in words, while cheering her on in action.

This wouldn't slap anyone to death.

After watching for a while, the five people left the public basketball court. Before leaving, someone came up to ask Lin Li and Bai Bufan if they wanted to join in, probably just short of people.

There are still many good people on the basketball court.

If it weren't for the fact that the invitation was staring at Chen Yu, Lin Li might have really gone up to make a fool of himself.

This time he escaped an elbow.

The basketball court was near the park, and they arrived at the park area not long after.

The park was very lively, not comparable to the park in Lin Li's residential area. Many people set up stalls here, selling food, decorations, toys, as well as phone cases and screen protectors. In the central brick square, there were large toy cars for children.

Many children were launching shuttlecocks or bamboo dragonflies that would flash in the sky on the square.

That kind of vibrant, all things competing state was still before their eyes.

Because the purpose was to see the musical fountain, the group crossed the square and headed toward Nanxin Lake.

"There's a contact lens stall over there, why don't we go take a look?" On the way to the target, it was indeed full of thorns. Halfway through the square, Ding Si suggested.

Then they changed direction.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan also followed, but their eyes were fixed on the large toy cars on the square, nodding at the same time: "Want to drive."

Especially since they could crash into other children while driving. If the car wasn't too small and their butts couldn't fit in, they would have already gone to bully the children excitedly.

Pity.

Bai Bufan went to look at other stalls, while Lin Li's attention returned to the contact lens stall. After looking at it for a few times, he only felt confused.

Were the colors of contact lenses taken out by humans?

Shark tears, Basque ice blue, sky gray, electric purple, bionic green.

Being able to imagine the corresponding contact lens colors from these names was also a god-like person.

"Which color do you think looks best?" Qu Wanqiu picked and chose, asking for everyone's opinions curiously.

"Sky gray." "Peacock brown." "Roland purple." "Snail powder."

The gazes of the three girls and the stall owner all suddenly looked at the atmosphere destroyer Lin Li.

It was the snail powder he said.

Lin Li raised both hands and took two steps back to surrender.

"Lin Li, Lin Li, come look, there's a story!" Bai Bufan suddenly waved at Lin Li excitedly from not far away, signaling Lin Li to come over.

Lin Li then walked over and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Look at this!" Bai Bufan lowered his voice, then pointed to a stall.

It should be mainly textile, taking orders for clothing and pants modification, fabric sales, and damage repair. And what Bai Bufan pointed to was a new, abrupt note added above, the content of which was "Please wash clean before sewing the crotch, thank you for your cooperation."

Lin Li looked at it and pondered for two seconds, then lowered his voice and began to laugh wildly.

Behind every rule, there is an unknown story.

When the aunt bit the thread end, the sky must have collapsed.
