Chapter 305: A Love Letter, But Not Entirely Love, Nor Entirely a Letter

Back to the bathroom.

The "Three Years of Array Five Years of Simulation (Shanqing Publishing House)" held in his hand, the moment he brought it back, as expected, dissipated into spiritual energy because it lost Daoist Shanqing's maintenance.

Lin Li didn't waste it either, absorbing all of this thin spiritual energy.

At the same time, he paused the time on the backup phone, which showed that more than two and a half minutes had passed.

After calculating, the time ratio had indeed decreased again; this week it became 1:150.

Lin Li stretched. This week, there was still one cheap opportunity to go to the cultivation world that only cost 20 system currency, but there was no need to use it now; he would wait until the weekend to consider it.

By lengthening the interval, he could accumulate questions over these few days and ask Daoist Shanqing all at once next time they met.

But now it was time for a final check for tomorrow's exam.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Lin Li had just returned to his room when he heard a knock on the door.

"Sorry, sorry, the delivery was wrong just now. You ordered Tastien, and I mixed it up with a Wallace order I was delivering at the same time. This is your actual delivery."

Opening the door, the delivery driver he had seen "a few minutes" ago was now standing at the door, saying apologetically.

More than six hours had passed, and Lin Li had almost forgotten about this. Hearing this, he shrugged: "Sorry, I've already finished eating."

Delivery driver: "o. o?"

*Buddy, are you a glutton? *

*You finished all that in a few minutes? *

"This..." The delivery driver was speechless for a moment.

"It's fine. Go ask the other customer if they accept changing to Tastien. I ordered quite a lot, and the price is definitely more expensive than their set meal. If they don't mind, give them my portion.

If they mind, explain the situation to them and discuss a solution, how much compensation is needed. I'll pay for it." Lin Li said.

Although this matter was the delivery driver's carelessness first, the other party's attitude was quite good, and with the rich harvest today, Lin Li could completely pay for this mistake.

"Then... I'll call and ask."

The delivery driver was stunned for a moment, but seeing Lin Li so determined, he nodded, took out his phone, went downstairs to the stairwell, and soon the sound of conversation could be heard.

Not long after, the delivery driver returned to Lin Li's door again, saying to Lin Li with an apologetic face: "Sorry, sir, that customer said he only accepts Wallace..."

Lin Li raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and nodded: "Seems like a loyal user of the brand. Fine."

"It's not that. The customer said he is constipated, and he bought Wallace to relieve constipation, saying Tastien definitely wouldn't have an effect, so he didn't want it."

The delivery driver shook his head with a complex expression.

Lin Li: "(; o_o)?"

*Seems like a loyal hater of the brand. *

"Shouldn't you use bananas for constipation? That's the one that works." Lin Li shook his head with a smile. "Taking such crooked paths, if you're unlucky enough to encounter Wallace that hasn't been drugged, wouldn't that be terrible?"

"Maybe it's because he thinks you have to eat a lot of bananas to have an effect, not as immediate as Wallace. And you can only buy bananas at the supermarket in the middle of the night, which is quite expensive." The delivery driver responded with a smile.

"Ah? Are bananas actually used for constipation by eating them?" Lin Li was stunned.

Delivery driver: "(; o_o)?"

*Not, buddy? *

The delivery driver was also stunned.

*Then how did you use bananas for constipation before? In the literal sense of "using" them? *

Seeing the delivery driver's complex expression, Lin Li was satisfied, then reached out: "Then give me my Tastien, and for the other order, go through the normal compensation. I'll pay for it."

"Thank you, thank you."

Lin Li: "Buddy, give me your phone, I'll turn it into 200,000 for you right now."

Delivery driver: "?"

"Just kidding. I just tipped you 100 yuan. Take a look, is that enough to compensate for this order? If it's enough, keep the rest yourself; if it's not, tell me." Seeing the delivery driver's miserable face, Lin Li changed his words with a smile.

As a former member of the Dart Sect, Lin Li knew that the platform's tips had no commission taken out.

"Enough, more than enough, thank you!" The delivery driver looked at his phone and immediately bowed repeatedly to thank him.

Closing the door and taking his own delivery, having stayed in the cultivation world for six and a half hours, he was indeed a bit hungry, so Lin Li reviewed while eating his late-night snack.

Wednesday, the day the midterm exam officially began.

Lin Li rode his bike to school.

Daoist Shanqing's guidance was very effective; the feeling of practicing the Eight-Stage Body Tempering Technique this morning was completely different.

Perhaps, if he practiced it completely one or two more times, he could complete this task.

School.

"Today cede five cities, tomorrow cede ten cities, the day after tomorrow cede twenty cities, the day after that cede forty cities, the day after that cede..."

When heading to the teaching building, he saw Bai Bufan reciting "Discourse on the Six States" by the flower bed, his mouth slurring.

"Are you fucking tired of ceding cities here? An arithmetic progression is one thing, but you're actually doing a geometric progression. What kind of country is so capable of ceding?"

Lin Li went up and pinched Bai Bufan's butt. The tactile sensation was still as terrible as ever. He wiped his hand in disgust while complaining.

"The Great Qing, obviously. Every time a foreign power comes, we cede once. Can't finish ceding, absolutely can't finish ceding. Even Cai Xukun and Yu Wenbo would only be little brothers if they came, not 'gege' (brothers)." Moving away from the salty pig hand, Bai Bufan answered in seconds.

"Your mom." Lin Li was a bit unable to hold it.

Today's brand-new merit had been damaged again.

"Yes, it's my mom, but it's also your mom." Bai Bufan nodded upon hearing this, his expression serious, clenching his fists to cheer himself on: "Lin Li, do not forget the national humiliation, let the alarm bell ring."

Lin Li: "..."

*Are you trying to elevate your value here? *

"Why are you staying here?" Lin Li asked.

"My exam room is in Class 3, on the first floor. I'll go directly later; it's comfortable here." Bai Bufan pointed to the first floor while chewing.

"What are you eating?"

"Stride gum, makes me unable to stop reciting. Do you want some?" Bai Bufan took a box out of his pocket.

"Want." Lin Li took it and took out two pieces.

After returning these two pieces to Bai Bufan, he put the rest back into his own pocket.

"Thanks. Ask me if you want to eat in the future."

Bai Bufan: "?"

*Is this something a human can do? *

"Lin Li, you gutter! Don't thank me! Give it back!"

"Get lost, get lost. Buddy is going to continue reciting. What was it after ceding ten cities..." After taking back his chewing gum, Bai Bufan waved his hand like he was shooing flies, flipping through the Chinese textbook in his hand.

"This still needs flipping through? '... and then have a peaceful sleep. Looking at the four borders, the Qin army arrived again. However, the land of the feudal lords is limited, while the greed of the violent Qin is insatiable...'"

Lin Li recited extremely fluently and smoothly, sneering: "You haven't even memorized such a simple thing? You waste, I can even recite it backward."

"Then recite it backward for me, and don't just 'Discourse on the Six States'." Bai Bufan sneered upon hearing this.

However, Lin Li smiled slightly: "'... insatiable is greed Qin violent, limited is land lords feudal the, then and...'"

Bai Bufan: "?"

Listening to something he couldn't understand at all for a moment, Bai Bufan looked at the textbook and found that Lin Li was really reciting backward from the last paragraph of "Discourse on the Six States" in the true sense!

*No? Buddy, you can really do it? *

*Are you playing for real? *

"Do you want to continue reciting?" After reciting a paragraph, Lin Li asked with a smile.

"... No, no need."

"Now that I say you're a waste, Bufan, do you have any objections?"

"No objections, Brother Lin Li scolded well, I am a waste~" Bai Weixiang gave a thumbs up to Lin inb.

"Losing to me, you don't need to be inferior. The gap between people is already very large, let alone between people and dogs." Lin Li was very satisfied, patted Bai Bufan's dog head, and comforted him.

Bai Bufan: "..."

"Did you fucking go backward just for this moment of showing off? Damn it, how did I fall into your trap!" After repeatedly wanting to speak but stopping, Bai Bufan was finally sour and regretful.

Lin Li wasn't that bored—after all, he couldn't predict that Bai Bufan would ask that.

Of course, if he could have predicted that Bai Bufan would ask this, even if Lin Li didn't have the system or 【Strong Memory】, he would have really gone to recite it backward just to show off.

It was just that now he had 【Strong Memory】, so after reciting it, it was equivalent to an open-book recitation; he just had to read it backward.

"The wild geese probably won't fly south this year." So, Lin Li just looked at the sky and said somewhat deeply.

"Ah? Why?" Bai Bufan also looked up upon hearing this, but there were no wild geese in the sky at all.

"Because they didn't cross south at all."

Bai Bufan: "?"

"Bufan, a candle that originally lasts half an hour can only burn for three minutes in your hands. Do you know why?" Lin Li looked down at Bai Bufan with a smile and asked.

"Shut up." *Is this the humiliation segment? * Bai Bufan covered his ears.

"Because you are 'candle-anxious' (anxious)."

"Damn it!!"

Bai Bufan covered his head in a breakdown and issued a curse full of resentment toward Lin Li:

"Lin Li, if you show off like this again, you will suffer retribution sooner or later.

Remember, Musk's child was kicked out of the house by Musk himself just because of showing off, and he doesn't even recognize her as his daughter anymore."

Lin Li: "?"

*Where the hell did you get this kind of showing off? *

But Lin Li soon had a surprising discovery, his expression becoming full of scientific spirit:

"But if you ask me, Musk's family is also inherited in one line. Isn't Old Musk always studying rocket recovery technology?"

"I feel like his child is just trying to inherit the father's business, to inherit Old Musk's will, so she dismantled her own big rocket and transformed it into a rocket recovery platform. From then on, she can recover big rockets every day.

Isn't this another kind of 'father and daughter of one mind, their sharpness can cut metal'?"

Bai Bufan: "!"

"That's really it! Damn, so Little Musk's thinking is so far-reaching! Admire, admire!" Bai Bufan agreed.

"The so-called break is just a play performed for the world. If nothing unexpected happens, Little Musk is actually a rocket engineer (night version)."

"Right, I also feel like she is recovering every night..." Bai Bufan's face originally had a lewd smile, but the next second he reacted violently:

"Damn you, Lin Li, I'm reciting books! You're relaxed with your backward recitation, don't torture me! Get lost!"

*Look, anxious again. *

Lin Li shook his head in disgust, then continued to walk toward the teaching building.

On the second floor, Lin Li first passed Class 5 and looked at the seat number posted on the door. He was number 8, in the first row of the second group.

Then he walked straight to the door of his own class, slapped the desk in the corridor with a *slap*, and questioned: "Who allowed you to sit in my seat?"

Nowadays, once Lin Li entered the sneaky state, it was hard to make a sound, so although the desk slap wasn't loud, Chen Yuying, who was unprepared, shook her whole body.

The culprit's voice was too familiar; there was no need to look up. The girl was a bit annoyed, put down her textbook, picked up Lin Li's textbook, rolled it into a tube, looked up to meet his eyes, raised it high, and put it down gently, knocking Lin Li once.

Lin Li was knocked dizzy and fell to the ground.

Chen Yuying: "?"

*Staged accident! *

Chen Yuying kicked him lightly: "Lin Li, you're not allowed to sleep here."

Seeing that Lin Li still wouldn't get up, Chen Yuying got up, found a fallen leaf that had drifted in from the autumn day in the corridor, placed it on Lin Li's stomach as a quilt, and then ignored him, continuing her own review.

Then Lin Li had no choice but to get up.

"You even used my textbook to hit me; Monitor, you are really bad." Leaning against the tile wall outside the classroom, Lin Li teased with a smile.

"Hmph hmph."

Chen Yuying pressed both palms around her temples, her fingers curling a few strands of hair. Hearing this, she just let out a soft breath and continued reading without looking up.

*Woman, your coldness has successfully attracted my attention. *

"Want some chewing gum?" Lin Li spread his hands on the desk, revealing the Stride he had just looted from Bai Bufan's side, and asked.

"Okay."

Chen Yuying didn't stand on ceremony. After taking the candy, tearing off the wrapper, and putting it in her mouth, she folded the wrapper and put it back in her pocket.

Lin Li nodded in gratification; she had much better manners than himself.

It was clear that Chen Yuying was the type who would wrap the chewing gum in the wrapper and throw it away after finishing it.

Unlike himself, who spat it all on Bai Bufan's chair.

"It's not for free." After Chen Yuying put the candy in her mouth, Lin Li spoke.

"Thank you."

"What I want isn't a thank you."

"Then what do you want?" Chen Yuying looked up.

"Just a very small request. As long as you promise me, you can have as much chewing gum as you want in the future." Lin Li patted his chest.

"What is it?" Chen Yuying tilted her head and asked, seeming a bit interested.

"The chewing gum after you finish it must be returned to me. I want to take it back and soak it in water to drink." Lin Li said seriously and earnestly. "I'm a bit picky, and I also worship foreign things a bit; I love drinking imported products."

Chen Yuying: "?"

"Lin Li, you are so disgusting!" Chen Yuying scolded with a smile.

"Damn it, others' deep affection can at least be called a 'lick-dog' (simp), but my deep affection can only get a 'disgusting'?" Lin Li was very hurt.

"Alright," Chen Yuying shook her head and sighed helplessly, "Lin Li, don't forget the bet. If you don't hurry up now, see what you'll do when you lose."

"Pfft, let me tell you this, Monitor, I'm already researching what kind of excessive demands I should make of you in the next monthly exam." Lin Li was quite confident.

"Besides, do you think I'm not working hard now?"

"Monitor, you're wrong, very wrong!"

"Besides improving myself, if you want to win, you can also drag down your opponent. Look, you're now unable to continue reciting because of me. Rounding it up, isn't that me reciting?"

Chen Yuying: "?"

*Seems like that. *

After realizing how vicious Lin Li was, Chen Yuying packed her things and walked toward the main entrance of the class: "I'm going into the exam room to review, I'm not talking to you anymore."

"About how long are you not talking to me?" Lin Li didn't stop her, just asked with a smile.

"Two and a half hours." Chen Yuying, who had already walked completely into the main entrance, stopped, leaned back slightly, poked her head out of the door, made a pistol gesture with her left hand, and pointed at Lin Li with a smile before walking into the classroom completely.

*Want to pinch Bufan's butt again. *

Lin Li smiled and returned to the corridor of Class 5, took out the original text of the "Basic Sword Technique" he had printed from his backpack, and began to read it carefully.

Since Daoist Shanqing said that the cultivation method given by the system would absolutely not be wrong, this sword technique, which he had originally disliked as "basic" and was even too lazy to translate and learn, now became necessary again.

After last night, there were many more important things in Lin Li's schedule that needed to be done.

Originally, there was only practicing the Eight-Stage Body Tempering Technique, punishing evil and promoting good, preparing for the midterm exam, teasing Chen Yuying, teasing Chen Yuying, teasing Chen Yuying.

Now there was array knowledge learning, Thunder-Containing Seed absorption, sword technique translation...

But having goals was a good thing; Lin Li didn't dislike this sense of fulfillment of being filled to the brim.

A long time passed.

His arm was poked. Lin Li's attention was pulled away from the sword technique. He turned his head; it was Chen Yuying.

"What's wrong, Monitor?" Lin Li leaned forward slightly and asked while bending over.

Chen Yuying threw the chewing gum wrapped in the candy wrapper into the trash can, then handed Lin Li a piece of paper with words written on it.

*Damn, a love letter! *

Lin Li immediately took it and looked at the content written on it:

"You are not allowed to secretly rummage through the trash can to pick it back up and soak it in water to drink."

Lin Li: "..."

Lin Li rested his hands on the corridor railing, tapped his head lightly, and smiled pitifully and helplessly.

"Writing this note, is it just because you are still in the time when you can't talk to me, right?" After laughing, Lin Li turned to look at Chen Yuying.

Chen Yuying also nodded with a smile.

"But..." Lin Li stopped his words. He suddenly discovered a blind spot. He pressed Chen Yuying's shoulder to make her turn around, then pointed to the trash can in front of Class 4, and Lin Li questioned seriously and earnestly:

"Monitor, our class's trash can is right there, so... you ran all the way to Class 5's trash can to throw it away. How do I feel like you're not warning me not to steal it, but reminding me that you've finished eating and I can steal it now."

Listening to Lin Li's judgment, Chen Yuying turned to face him, nodded heavily, then made a trash can gesture with both hands, and nodded again.

—*Please enjoy. *

"... Monitor, I'm very moved, and also very touched, but there are too many people now, I want face. Later, I'll definitely steal it later."

Lin Li leaned in further and whispered in Chen Yuying's ear.

The hot air Lin Li exhaled was a bit scorching. Chen Yuying leaned away slightly. After Lin Li finished speaking, she put her hands behind her back and looked at him with a smile.

Then she returned with light steps, her long hair swaying gently with her steps, pulling at Lin Li's gaze.

*Cute. *

Lin Li looked at the note in his hand and the elegant and good-looking handwriting on it.

This was the handwriting that a high-scoring essay should have.

Looking at the trash can, stealing chewing gum was forget it; after all, he wasn't Chen Tianming, but this note could be kept.

Lin Li still remembered the content of the most touching little note he had received before today—

"aacba, bdbca, acbdd, aacaa"

"bbdca, acbbd, ddbcb, cadbb"

"××√√×, √××××"

"Wait a while for the big questions."

But from today on, its status was permanently replaced by this note.

However, Lin Li hoped that this note would also be replaced one day soon.

He lowered his head and looked at the time on his watch.

There was still time, so Lin Li ran toward the stairwell.

"Lin Li, why did you come to the first floor again?"

"Don't ask these useless things and waste time. Hurry up and turn around, let me pinch your butt."

Bai Bufan: "?"

"Are you fucking a hooligan?"

"So what."
