Chapter 168: Countless light sources bring countless shadows

Because the musical fountain was scheduled to open, the girls didn't stay at the stall for too long and didn't visit other stalls.

For such a small stall without a storefront, daily disposable contact lenses could actually sell for four or five yuan a piece; monthly ones were still better.

The fountain was there every weekend, except for special holidays, the content was the same, so there was no scene of a large group of people gathering by the fence waiting in advance, so there was no need to stand behind the fence. The upper steps of the square became the most suitable viewing position.

"Just here, sit." After confirming that the view wouldn't be blocked, Lin Li pointed to a row of steps and said.

Bai Bufan sat down.

"Forget it, let's change positions." Lin Li changed his mind again.

Bai Bufan stood up with a look of bad luck, and then watched with his own eyes as Lin Li pushed him away with his butt and sat in the position he had just sat in.

Bai Bufan: "..."

Did he have to wipe the dust off the ground with his pants first?

"Give the seat back to me!"

"I have paper here..." Girls always carry tissues with them. Looking at the two who suddenly started playing, Chen Yu said with some amusement.

"The ground wiped with paper is not as fragrant as the one wiped by Bai Bufan's butt!" But Lin Li still ignored it.

"Knocked." Qu Wanqiu looked at the two with their butts squeezed together with a rotten-style gaze, seemingly expecting some more bloody scenes.

"Only knocking on everything will harm you." Ding Si shook her head and sighed; she was still more dedicated.

In the end, Lin Li's butt was better.

The five people sat side by side on the steps.

Bai Bufan was on Lin Li's left, and Chen Yu was on the right.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Bai Bufan, who was next to him, used the puppy summoning technique to summon a stray dog that should be a resident of Nanxin Lake Park.

Although it was a local dog, its appearance was okay, and its fur was quite bright. It was estimated that someone took care of it regularly, and it was completely unafraid of people. After hearing the call of its kind, it came over excitedly, very enthusiastic, letting Bai Bufan touch its head, sniffing around Bai Bufan with its nose, and even trying to put its paws on him.

"Remember to wash your hands after touching the dog, especially this kind of unclean one, otherwise it won't be good if you get sick." The scene was very warm, but amidst the warmth, Lin Li still reminded.

"Know—" Bai Bufan just prepared to nod, and then saw Lin Li go up to hug this dog and go to the public sink to wash its hands.

Bai Bufan: "..."

Wait, let me think.

So the one who needs to wash hands isn't himself?

So the "unclean" one in that sentence just now was actually himself?

Grass.

Looking at the puppy being bundled by Lin Li to wash its hands, the girls all laughed.

Ding Si was glad she hadn't rushed to greet this dog just now, otherwise, the one attacked by Lin Li would definitely have been her.

Because there were many people around and they were wearing school uniforms, they couldn't be too embarrassing, so Bai Bufan didn't scold out loud when Lin Li came back, but used his mouth shape to sublimate Lin Li's genealogy to the extreme.

This time Lin Li pretended not to see it; scolding is not allowed next time.

Because there were five minutes left until the hour when the fountain started, the five people sat side by side, blowing the icy night wind, feeling the bangs fluttering on their foreheads, and listening to the fragmented private whispers around them.

Even without looking at their phones, squinting their eyes was more comfortable than blowing the air conditioner in the library. If summer nights were always like this, it should be very worth remembering.

Of course, it might have something to do with having to study in the library.

"Plop." The sound of splashing water.

"What fell down, a stone?" Bai Bufan looked up and asked.

"Don't know, maybe a frog." Lin Li squinted comfortably, too lazy to open his eyes, just shrugged indifferently.

"Oh."

"Bufan, test you, who is the best pair diving combination in the world?" Lin Li suddenly asked.

"Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi?" Bai Bufan answered.

"Wrong, it's girlfriend and mom." Lin Li gave the correct answer.

Bai Bufan: "..."

The three girls next to him who also heard it laughed.

"Lin Li, then the question comes at this time, your girlfriend and your mother fell into the water together, you can only choose to save one, who do you save." Ding Si asked.

"Mom." Lin Li gave the answer without needing to ponder.

"Eh, good son, mom is very gratified." Ding Si was tearful.

Lin Li: "?"

Not sister.

"Then mom, can you perform falling into the water with Ding Si at the same time, let's see who I save?" Lin Li asked Ding Si sincerely.

"No way."

Ding Si turned her head triumphantly; she, who had already won, wouldn't take the bait.

"However, those who invent such questions are really either stupid or bad, coming to destroy interpersonal relationships."

Lin Li sincerely evaluated such questions.

Assuming all day long, it's better to go plow two miles of land instead of the old cow.

"Eh, then let's change the question stem, Lin Li, if it were your best brother and your girlfriend who fell into the water together, you can only save one, who do you save?" But Ding Si was still chasing and killing.

Bai Bufan sighed.

At this time, he, the sensible brother, should tie a stone to his leg and sink first.

"Before I answer this question, can you explain why my brother would be with my girlfriend, and fall into the water at the same time? I feel like my head is green, I'm not saving them, let them all die."

However, unlike what Bai Bufan thought, Lin Li narrowed his eyes, his voice cold.

Ding Si: "Eh?"

Bai Bufan: "Hmm!"

"Seems not a loss!" Bai Bufan suddenly shouted happily, and then took an elbow from Lin Li.

"What about normal falling into the water?" Ding Si was still asking.

"I will recite pi backward for my brother." Lin Li laughed.

"What does that mean?" Ding Si didn't understand.

"I'll do a show for him, so it doesn't matter if he dies." Lin Li explained.

Ding Si: "..."

"You really will do a show." Ding Si couldn't refute.

Amidst the laughter, accompanied by a "poof" sound, a water column rose from the center of Nanxin Lake, and the light strips around it also lit up.

Night fell, and the lights came on.

The music played, the fountain performance began, and the passersby who had already seen it gradually began to gather here.

Lights and water curtains intertwined into flowing scrolls.

Under the illumination of the lights, the water splashes changed into colorful colors, sometimes like delicate ribbons dancing in the air, sometimes like soaring flames burning in the air.

Chen Yu's clear eyes reflected all this; she didn't take out her phone to record, just quietly watching such a scene.

"Careful!"

Until a slightly urgent shout came from behind.

Chen Yu turned her head; it turned out to be a shuttlecock flying toward her, still flashing, and it was a bit dazzling after getting close. Although the top wasn't sharp, it would definitely hurt if it hit her head.

She saw it very clearly, because the shuttlecock stopped quietly in front of her, and the hand that caught it without turning back came from beside her.

Chen Yu tilted her head and looked at Lin Li. Under the lights of the musical fountain, his jawline seemed to be a bit clearer.

Was it her illusion, or did Lin Li feel like he had become better looking again?

Lin Li was still looking at the fountain, neon lights flowing in his eyes, but Chen Yu suddenly felt it was a bit funny, especially noticing the corner of his mouth that seemed to be suppressing triumph, so she opened her mouth:

"Stop pretending, it's already starting to be too deliberate."

"Class Monitor! Am I amazing or not? Caught it without even looking back! Saved your life! Too handsome, really too handsome, can you adjust the satellite and send me this video? I want to make it into a QR code and carve it on my tombstone!"

Lin Li, who originally wanted to be cold and handsome, couldn't hold back after hearing this. He turned his head, incomparably triumphant, and boasted in a cadence.

This is Lin Li.

Being cold has nothing to do with him at all.

"Wow! So handsome!!" Ding Si and Qu Wanqiu, seeing Lin Li break his defense, immediately used an extremely artificial voice to clamp it.

"Average, average."

Lin Li seemed not to have heard the artificiality of the two, his actions were "don't praise, don't praise," but his expression was "hurry up, continue, hurry up, continue."

At this time, the culprit and his parents had also run over. The parents immediately apologized: "Sorry, sorry, the direction was wrong when the child was playing, really sorry, didn't get hurt, right? Come over, apologize to the brother and sister!"

"Sor-sorry."

"Class Monitor, what do you say, do you want him to compensate with his youth?" Lin Li asked in a low voice.

Ding Si, upon hearing this, rolled her eyes even more. Could Lin Li callback even this?

"Compensate what compensate." Chen Yu also scolded with a smile, shaking her head at the adult and child who were still apologizing: "It's okay, no injuries."

Because it wasn't a bear child and bear parents, it was indeed just a small accident that didn't cause losses, so there was no need to care. Lin Li also returned the shuttlecock to the other party.

A harmless storm.

The performance continued.

The music reached its climax, and the fountain seemed to be encouraged, suddenly shooting out towering water columns, like rockets rushing straight into the clouds, eye-catching.

Immediately after, the water splashes fell at a speed that was almost within reach, stirring up layers of white mist, as if it were a fairyland.

Chen Yu was still staring at the highest point the water column had just reached.

Why must the one who hits someone compensate with youth? Can one be shameless?

In the lake.

Countless gorgeous neon lights lit up on both sides of the lake, and the water columns surged in sequence.

On the shore.

Shadows snuggled together.
