Chapter 345

"Class monitor, it's a good thing you remembered. Otherwise, if we had gone to borrow them after starting in the afternoon, I feel like there would only be some junk left."

Lin Li, with a mop and broom tucked under his arm, gave his daily praise to Chen Yuying, who was holding a rag beside him.

Praise! Loyalty!

It was Tuesday noon.

The big cleanup was starting in the afternoon. Under Chen Yuying's reminder, the two had gone to the school's general affairs office to borrow cleaning tools like mops, brooms, and rags, and even borrowed disinfectant powder.

Although there was a tool room on every floor of the teaching building, which also had tools like mops and buckets, those were for the classes on that floor to use on a daily basis.

You couldn't have four classes taking turns using one mop once the official cleanup started.

Just now, when Lin Li was filling out the borrowing registration form, he discovered that several classes had actually come to borrow them yesterday morning.

The general affairs office naturally knew about the school's big cleanup schedule and had set a limit on what a class could borrow. With the freshmen and sophomores having their big cleanups on different days, this ensured every class had tools to use.

But what was unavoidable was that there was a disparity in the quality of the tools.

Lin Li saw that several mops and brooms had as little hair as Hua Ming, and were also "old handsome guys."

The classes that borrowed them the latest would probably only be able to borrow these "Lü" or "Kou" shapes—the defective products.

"It was Jiana who asked me to." Chen Yuying replied.

Zhou Jiana was still the hygiene committee member.

For this big cleanup, only half of Class 4 would participate, and the other half would go straight back to the dorms or the cafeteria after school.

After all, if the entire class participated in the big cleanup, to be honest, the work content and tools couldn't be distributed.

Lin Li, Bai Bufan, Wang Ze, and the others in the back row were almost all participating this time. Anyway, there was nothing else to do, and after sweeping this time, they wouldn't have to sweep next time.

"Don't be humble, class monitor. It was your idea. The military strategist of Liangshan was called 'Wise Star' Wu Yong. As our Class 4's strategist, thinking that without you there wouldn't be these brooms, I've decided to title you the 'Broom Star'."

"You're the Broom Star."

Chen Yuying, upon hearing this, used the rag in her hand to lightly swat Lin Li, giving him a glare filled with amusement and helplessness.

"Swat harder, didn't you eat lunch?"

"No way, I'm afraid I'll make you happy if I do."

"I wouldn't be happy. Don't believe me? Try swatting once and see?"

"So disgusting."

"Can you curse me one more time? The kind with more emotion."

"..."

Because she was still holding the rag, Chen Yuying tapped her forehead with the back of her hand and shook her head with a smile.

Her boyfriend was a completely three-dimensional, all-around defense; no matter what she did, it would only make him feel good.

She could only use cold violence—silence.

There weren't as many people in the classroom today as there were yesterday. After putting the tools in the classroom's utility corner, the two returned to the back row to start studying.

They hadn't been studying for long when an uninvited guest arrived—

When distinct footsteps appeared outside the classroom and approached, Lin Li looked up and discovered it was a flustered Bai Bufan.

"Classmate, you are not welcome here."

Lin Li instantly put on a cold face.

Lin Li really liked two lines of top-tier writing in "Dragon Raja," which were Uesugi Koshi saying to Herzog "Kid, watch closely, this strike will be very cool," and Chu Tianjiao saying to Odin on the viaduct "Gods are forbidden from entering Great Xia territory."

He had clearly already made a deal with Bai Bufan; in the middle of the day, Freshman Class 4 was not a place for just any stray cat or dog to come. Bufan is forbidden from entering!

Chen Yuying also noticed Bai Bufan, but she didn't get up.

—Why would she get up from her own seat?

If you don't believe it, let Bai Bufan shout at his seat and see if the seat will call back?

If she calls out, the seat will definitely call back—this was Chen Yuying's confidence in Lin Li.

"Don't stop me, don't stop me, I beg you, brother. You and the class monitor do your thing, whatever position or posture, it doesn't matter, do whatever you want. I'm not here to stop you, nor am I here to join you. I'm just looking for a place to hide—"

Looking at Lin Li, who was coming forward to drive him away, Bai Bufan hurriedly waved his hands to explain, his speaking speed rushed. As he spoke, he kept looking back at the classroom door, seemingly terrified of seeing someone's figure.

"Ah? Hide? Who are you hiding from?" Lin Li was stunned for a moment upon hearing this and asked with some surprise, "Brother, did you get into trouble?"

"Got into a little trouble." Bai Bufan nodded and made the gesture that would make Koreans break their defense if they saw it.

Fingertip universe.

"Classmate, you'd better take care of yourself." Lin Li took a step back.

Damn it, don't get blood on me.

Bai Bufan: "..."

It only takes a second to go from "brother" to "classmate." This is Lin Li.

The private room is full of brotherhood, three pages of confessions and two pages of names, and another page is the crimes.

"Holy crap, my footsteps leaked, move, move!"

When the footsteps outside the classroom began to amplify and approach, Bai Bufan's face turned pale. He looked left and right, and seeing it was too late, he directly squatted down and hid behind a desk.

And Lin Li looked toward the door. In a few seconds, the owner of the footsteps appeared.

Qin Zeyu.

At this time, Qin Zeyu had a ferocious anger on his face. After walking to the classroom door, he looked around, finally locking onto Lin Li, and softened slightly: "Lin Li, have you seen Bufan?"

Bai Bufan hurriedly gave Lin Li a look, his mouth opening and closing, countless silent "Dads" attempting to awaken Lin Li's paternal love.

Lin Li had always been very good at reading the room, and after noticing it, he immediately understood.

Being a brother is in the heart; if something happens, the phone won't... get through.

Lin Li lowered his head, nodded at Bai Bufan, and made an "OK" sign. Then his right hand formed a fist and hammered his left chest, his index finger pointed at Bai Bufan, he gave a wicked smile, winked, clicked his tongue, and said firmly:

"Brother, I understand what you mean! Leave it to me, rest assured!"

Only then did Lin Li look up at Qin Zeyu. The wicked smile was gone, and his expression was confused and puzzled:

"No, I haven't seen Bufan. Bufan never comes to the classroom at noon, how could he be here? Zeyu, what's wrong?"

Bai Bufan, Qin Zeyu: "(；o_o)?"

Chen Yuying laughed out loud. Lin Li is so mean.

But as soon as she thought this was her boyfriend, Yingbao didn't "hee-hee" anymore.

"Is Bufan by your feet?"

Qin Zeyu, who had seen Lin Li gesturing and whispering to a desk for a long time in his field of vision just now, asked expressionlessly.

Lin Li widened his eyes.

Holy crap?

How did he discover that?

His "confusion and puzzlement" just now had been performed flawlessly. Wasn't this the most likely reaction for him to have if Bai Bufan hadn't come?

With Zhang Yimou-level acting, where exactly did the flaw show?

Damn it, I can't think of it at all.

"Really haven't." But since he had already promised Bai Bufan he would cover for him, Lin Li tried to salvage it.

"Hey, your mom! Lin Li! Are you an idiot!!"

However, what made Lin Li unable to believe it was that the one who betrayed him was actually Bai Bufan.

He actually stood up directly and pressed his own neck onto the desk next to him, his expression as ferocious as Qin Zeyu's just now.

Returning evil for good; the thing about Bufan biting Lü Dongbin was actually happening right before his eyes.

He would never smile again.

This world...

"I can't breathe..."

Lin Li suspected whether Chen Yuying had bought an insurance policy for him and filled in her own name as the beneficiary. Otherwise, why was she still indifferent, even giggling, when he was almost seeing his great-grandmother?

But Lin Li was still saved, because when Qin Zeyu rushed over, Bai Bufan chose his own life between Lin Li's life and his own, and dodged.

"Don't you fucking run! Bai Bufan!"

"Brother! Don't chase! Don't chase! Violence can't solve problems, you know the mosquito lands on..."

"It can't solve problems, but it can solve the person who creates the problems! Don't run!"

"Don't you chase!"

"If you don't run, I won't chase!"

"If you don't chase, I won't run!"

"How about this, three, two, one, we stop together?"

"Fine!"

"Count down together, three, two, one!"

"You're still fucking chasing!"

"You're still fucking running!"

The two were frantically having an elementary school student conversation, having already run from Class 4 to the outside.

And Lin Li, who had watched a 15-second ad to refill his health, also followed out.

—If he didn't get to the bottom of this gossip now, Lin Li would feel uncomfortable all over.

The robust physique of a cultivator fully played its role at this moment. Lin Li quickly caught up and used his robust physique to "robust" the two of them.

"Lin Li, don't stop me! I'm going to kill him!"

"Dad, stop him! Stop him!"

Because Lin Li was standing between the two, they began to "Qin King circling the pillar."

"No, what are you guys doing? What happened?" Lin Li interrupted the two and asked curiously. "You have no idea what this B Bai Bufan did to me!"

The chase had tired him out. Qin Zeyu stopped, and while resting, he glared viciously at Bai Bufan not far away.

And Bai Bufan looked away, feeling slightly guilty.

"Tell me, if it's truly 'extraordinary,' I'll help you deal with him (physically)."

Qin Zeyu took a deep breath, nodded, and began to recall this sad past:

"Yesterday, when I learned that you and Wang Ze had both gotten into relationships, and witnessed you and the class monitor feeding dog food, I was a bit envious and wanted to find my own love."

"Human nature." Lin Li nodded in approval.

Anyone who could see him find a girlfriend like Chen Yuying and not be envious would be a very Sigma male.

"After I expressed this sentiment, Bufan gave me a suggestion."

"What?"

"He said I could deliberately drop my meal card under the girls' dormitory building. As long as I left my class and name on it, the girl who picked it up would very likely take the initiative to come to the class to find me, and I could take the opportunity to thank her and get to know her."

"Bufan told me this is actually opening a blind box. If the girl isn't good-looking, I just need to thank her. If the girl is good-looking, then she's 'beautiful and kind-hearted,' and I can thank her without speaking."

"What do you mean by 'thank her without speaking'?"

"Shoot her."

Lin Li: "(；o_o)?"

As everyone knows, "don't thank me"—shoot.

"Wait! Lin Li, don't look at me with that 'looking at a small fry' look! This is Bufan's description, I'm just a repeater, I'm not that low!!"

Lin Li restrained his gaze, but his expression was somewhat complicated.

Returning to the method itself, how should he put it? It felt like it made sense, but it also felt like it made no sense.

It was too much like finding a needle in a haystack. If he really met the legendary "beautiful and kind-hearted shy little girl," it would be a plot that could turn a romance novel into a sci-fi novel if written into a book.

Jiang Taigong fishing at least had the person by the river. With this trick, there was no bait on the hook to begin with, and the person wasn't even watching the fishing rod, yet they wanted to catch fish?

But this kind of suggestion coming from Bai Bufan's mouth was actually somewhat normal.

"So... you did it?" Lin Li confirmed.

"Yes." Qin Zeyu nodded, "Wang Ze and Baowei both thought this method was good, and I thought it had potential, so I tried it."

Lin Li gave a thumbs up.

As expected of his Freshman Class 4, a place of hidden talents.

Was it actually a good method recognized by everyone?

However, one thing is one thing, Lin Li felt he was also "standing and talking without sitting."

—Lin Li suddenly realized that if he had been on the scene and heard this idea from Bai Bufan, he probably wouldn't just have agreed, he would have been the one agreeing the loudest.

Anyway, it wasn't him trying it.

As the saying goes, you must have a heart to guard against others, and he had plenty of hearts to harm others too.

"And then?" Lin Li asked expectantly.

Obviously, the final ending must not have been very ideal, otherwise it wouldn't be the current scene.

But this was the result he wanted; if it wasn't, Lin Li wouldn't be looking forward to it.

"I found an opportunity yesterday noon, deliberately passed in front of the girls' dormitory, and then dropped my meal card on the ground." Qin Zeyu continued:

"When I went to the cafeteria in the afternoon, I went to check the girls' dormitory again and found that my student card was no longer where I dropped it at noon, and it wasn't nearby either. Obviously, someone had already picked it up."

"I was worried the other party had a shy personality and would be too embarrassed to really come to Class 4 to return it. To prevent waiting in vain, I specifically went to the lost and found at the cafeteria, teaching building, and supermarket, but didn't find my meal card."

"I realized my meal card was still in the hands of the person who picked it up."

"Up to this point, the plan was all normal," Qin Zeyu laughed very miserably, "I was looking forward to it all last night, wondering if a beautiful 'big-breasted' girl would take the initiative to come to the door and ask Romon, 'Hello, may I ask if classmate Qin Zeyu is here?'"

—Romon, who is afraid of moths, is the girl in the first row of the first group of Class 4. As everyone knows, this position has always been the class's messenger.

Lin Li felt he had already guessed the follow-up, so his facial expression had already reached the "holding back laughter" stage.

Damn, no wonder Qin Zeyu was looking out the window during evening self-study yesterday. It wasn't because he was reading a novel and being wary of the teacher, but because he was looking forward to this?

"Continue, continue." Lin Li took out a candy that Chen Yuying had put in his pocket and urged him while eating it.

"But nothing happened. No girl came to the door. I realized my meal card might really be lost, and then at noon today, I gave up and went to the service center to apply for a replacement card."

"Then this can only be considered a foreseeable risk, right? There's nothing to be done about it," Lin Li now played the role of a "rational middle-grounder," started analyzing, and asked tentatively:

"It shouldn't reach the point of a 'slaughter Bufan' stage, right? After all, he is also human's best friend..."

"I haven't finished the story yet." Qin Zeyu sneered.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Lin Li's eyes lit up.

Oh, this is what he wanted to see. Hurry, let the blood flow like a river.

"I went to top up my meal card while I was at it, but when I put the meal card on the card reader, I discovered one thing—the balance on my meal card had decreased.

When I realized what had happened, I had a despair where my expectations were completely shattered, because I couldn't even fantasize anymore that the other party was just shy and didn't dare to return it to me."

Lin Li raised an eyebrow.

Qin Zeyu's goal was to fish for a "beautiful and kind-hearted big-breasted girl."

But now it seemed, whether she was beautiful or not he didn't know, but her heart was definitely not kind.

Did this count as a villain? After all, there are no small or large evils. Could it help him complete the system's mis...

Eh, wait—

Lin Li's eyes gradually became wrong.

"Hopes shattered, I have already turned dark. Although the other party only swiped 12 yuan from me, I decided to make this kind of girl with inferior character pay the price!" Qin Zeyu's expression was sinister.

"If she's ugly, then wait for this matter to be reported by me to the center!"

"If she's beautiful, then wait for 'Baby, you wouldn't want the fact that you stole my meal card to be known by others, would you'..."

Lin Li blinked: "Is this low-level talk also repeating Bufan?"

"Not important," Qin Zeyu waved his hand, his face as dark as water: "My heart for revenge began to burn, so I checked the time and location of my meal card being swiped at the service center and found it was actually yesterday noon, and the location was the supermarket."

"Then I went to the supermarket to tell the boss my intention, and she immediately showed me the supermarket's surveillance."

Speaking of this, Qin Zeyu laughed. His gaze moved from Lin Li's eyes to Bai Bufan, who was starting to whistle guiltily not far away, and his voice became ethereal:

"Lin Li, guess which girl I saw?"

"Haha, I saw—'Bai'—'Bu'—'Fan'!!"

"..."

Lin Li felt that the difficulty of holding back his laughter now was as difficult as Baowei holding back a dump on a sightseeing cable car.

—He had guessed it when he heard two-thirds of the story.

But when this guess became reality, Lin Li still felt it was hard to hold back.

"This dog B was actually looking at the surveillance when he swiped the meal card!"

"Holy crap, really, Lin Li, can you imagine? When the fast-forwarded surveillance paused and that dog face appeared, for a moment, I got goosebumps, and I was completely stunned."

Qin Zeyu turned to grit his teeth, his voice like a murmur from hell:

"But the next moment, I understood everything."

"However, Lin Li, you imagine it again. The me who understood at the time still had to say to the supermarket boss with a smile, 'Boss, I made a mistake. I suddenly remembered I borrowed it from my classmate before. Sorry, sorry to trouble you~'."

I even, I even! Needed to speak well for my enemy!

Lin Li, do you know my despair and pain!"

Lin Li: "I know, hahaha—sorry Zeyu, I'm not laughing. When I cry, my voice sounds like laughing, hahaha—"

A beast! A fucking beast!

Qin Zeyu didn't have time to care about "Lin's laughter." He just looked at Bai Bufan and explained the true truth of yesterday:

"After this beast tricked me into using this trick, he followed behind my butt. As soon as my meal card was 'lost,' he picked it up, and then went to consume it happily!"

"My 22 yuan was wasted just like that!!"

—It also costs ten yuan to replace a meal card at Nansang Middle School.

However, hearing this number, Lin Li remembered something, forcibly restrained his laughter, patted Qin Zeyu's shoulder, and comforted him:

"It's okay, Zeyu. I know Bufan in reality. The dog isn't bad, he's just playing a detective game with you. You know, dogs all like to bite things and bring them back for you to throw. It's the same principle.

Look, he only swiped 12 yuan from you, which was deliberately leaving this flaw for you to find."

Bai Bufan still had a bit of human appearance.

Qin Zeyu gave a "heh," then looked at Lin Li, expressionless, speaking extremely fast: "I fucking only had 12 yuan on my card."

Lin Li: "o_o?"

"That's also why I could immediately discover something was wrong when I topped up my meal card, because I remembered it could still buy one meal, but at that time, there wasn't a single yuan left."

"12 yuan is the limit of my meal card, not the limit of Bufan."

"Lin Li, guess what the ending would be if the school meal card had a credit card function?"

Bai Bufan, upon hearing this, also sighed, adding with some annoyance and self-reproach:

"This point is indeed my problem. Damn it, the market research wasn't done well. If I had known, I would have waited for Zeyu to top up his meal card first before persuading him."

Lin Li: "..."

Hey, holy crap.

Where does this creature Bai Bufan have any human appearance at all???
