Chapter 363: The only thing that can defeat authority is higher authority

"No internal ghosts, give me some old memes." Lin Li looked at Ceng Ziang: "I'll start: many elderly people have heart attack or brain attack problems."

Ceng Ziang was still first, then sighed and covered his face. Although he was indeed laughing, he was laughing helplessly.

He didn't speak, just turned his direction and began to stay away from Lin Li blindly.

Research has found that swimming trunks have a huge negative return on swimming speed—otherwise, there is no way to explain why Ceng Ziang's swimming speed was so much slower than when he was swimming naked just now, and he was very cautious, checking his swimming trunks from time to time.

Suddenly, Lin Li's pupils shook!

"Brother Ziang! Danger!!"

"What's wrong?!" Ceng Ziang suddenly grabbed the shore with one hand, covered his pants with the other, and turned his head vigilantly and with lingering fear.

If he was super dull before, Ceng Ziang was now an invincible sensitive muscle.

As long as there is any disturbance, he will respond.

"The water in the pool is boiling, I just saw bubbles starting to appear behind you! Run!" Lin Li had already slipped to the shore, pointing behind Ceng Ziang, his expression terrified.

Ceng Ziang: "……"

Ceng Ziang hesitated, then hesitated again: "Lin Li, has anyone ever said that you are too tactful when you speak."

Lin Li shook his head: "No, my friends usually say I speak very hurtfully, and you said this when we first met."

"Your friends and I are both objective." Ceng Ziang smiled.

—Damn, he just let out a fart, no need to remind him like this!

Well, to be rigorous, not one, but a string.

By the way, Lin Li's acting is quite good, this terrified little expression is acted so realistically, as if he is really terrified, haha.

Ceng Ziang didn't smile.

……

"Lin Li, it's about time, if we leave some time for showering, we can leave now." Ceng Ziang said to Lin Li, who had swum to his side again.

"Hmm?" Lin Li took off his swimming goggles, looked at the electronic display in the hall, confirmed the time, and nodded: "Okay, it's time."

It had been two hours and ten minutes since the timing started, and the remaining twenty minutes as a tolerance for showering and blowing hair was just right.

The task progress had advanced another section, and it wasn't too far from completion. Lin Li planned to come and swim a lap or two after passing the second subject exam.

"Lin Li, your stamina is too good, you could actually swim from beginning to end, and your speed was so fast."

After Lin Li went ashore, Ceng Ziang said with envy in his eyes.

Ceng Ziang, who watched Lin Li swim back and forth without stopping at a fast speed the whole time, went from shock at the beginning to numbness later.

Tall and handsome, with a full physique and athletic ability, bulging and very bulging, which window did God close for Lin Li?

The envy in the eyes of those grandpas when they saw his awakened lion just now was how much envy he had when looking at Lin Li now.

Not to mention Lin Li's lion hadn't awakened yet.

Ceng Ziang would never forget the stinging words his ex-girlfriend said to him when she broke up with him—

"Ceng Ziang, you always say long pain is worse than short pain, but you aren't long, and I'm not in pain, let's break up."

Clearly, she said he was very cute when they first got together.

Woo woo woo.

"Actually, I rest often, it's just that Brother Ziang you didn't notice." Lin Li heard this praise and casually told a well-intentioned lie to comfort him.

"That's still very amazing," Ceng Ziang shook his head, then shook the phone in his hand:

"Lin Li, I've already sent all the photos taken just now to your WeChat. You can look at them yourself later, but the lens should have water, so they might not be very clear, just make do with them, no other way."

"It's fine, it's fine as long as they're taken, thanks brother."

"Small matter, let's go."

"Okay."

The two returned to the bathroom to wash their hair and shower, bathed and changed, checked that nothing was missing, and headed to the public hair dryer location.

Lin Li took out his phone, and the non-group chat messages had already reached 99+. Of course, it was mainly the photos Ceng Ziang sent him.

However, in the message list, the appearance of a 'new' avatar was quite eye-catching.

"Fan Hong: 【Link: Yizhen's tea party for making friends this month is now open for registration】"

"Fan Hong: Brother, our activity this month is going to be held tomorrow afternoon. See if you want to participate. If you participate, I will report your name. You are an annual member, no cost is needed."

Fan Hong was the intermediary at Yizhen Matchmaking Agency he went to last Sunday.

Is it being held this week? Lin Li saw that there was no notification during the work week, so he thought their activity this month was planned for next week.

The activity was only warmed up one day in advance, which was a bit sudden. It was impossible for him to ask those in the group if they wanted to come and play, as they had all gone home.

But missing it this month meant waiting until next month. It was a good opportunity to test the task completion method, so it wasn't appropriate to miss it.

Lin Li thought for a moment and had an idea.

"Brother." Lin Li looked at Ceng Ziang.

"What's wrong?"

"I remember Auntie said you didn't have anyone wanting you during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Brother, does anyone want you now?" Lin Li's words were full of sincerity.

Ceng Ziang: "……"

"Lin Li, are you like my mom, because you carry controlled knives with you, you can't take large public transportation?"

Ceng Ziang stared at Lin Li's mouth, his mouth twitched slightly, then he sighed and lamented.

"So does anyone want you now?" Lin Li didn't answer, just kept stabbing his heart.

"No."

"Then are you free tomorrow afternoon?"

"I have a noble two-day weekend, I'm free. But why did you suddenly ask this? Is there something up?"

Ceng Ziang asked curiously upon hearing this.

"I just wanted to ask if you are interested in participating in a matchmaking and friendship meeting," Lin Li stated his purpose, "The people participating are all long-term residents of Nansang, and young, with an age limit under twenty-eight. I feel it's quite suitable for you."

"Ah?" Ceng Ziang was stunned upon hearing this, after all, this was an invitation he never expected to hear from Lin Li's mouth.

"By the way, the important thing is that this activity doesn't cost money—because I have a way, not because the activity has a pit, and I will go with you, so you don't have to worry about being awkward because you aren't familiar with the place." Lin Li continued.

Ceng Ziang wasn't a member, so it naturally cost money, but Lin Li would pay for him.

"Ah, this..." Ceng Ziang scratched his head upon hearing this, his expression still puzzled:

"Matchmaking and friendship meeting? But you also plan to go? Lin Li, are you in such a hurry? You don't have anyone wanting you either? No way, right?"

"Of course not, Brother, I have someone wanting me, and my girlfriend is very beautiful and cute and very good to me, do you want to see her photo..."

He didn't need to hide it from Ceng Ziang, just remind him not to talk about it in the complex and let it reach Wu Min's ears later, so Lin Li mentioned Chen Yu, feeling fierce, passionate, and desperate.

"Lin Li, you could have stopped after saying 'I have someone wanting me.' We are just neighbors, you crossed the line with the rest."

Ceng Ziang said without smiling.

Especially after glancing at the photo of Lin Li's girlfriend on his phone, he was even less smiling.

However, he was even more puzzled: "Yeah, regardless of your age or situation, you definitely aren't in a hurry or lacking, then why are you participating in matchmaking?"

"I'll just go to play, watch it as a live love variety show, and matchmaking, I feel it's a group of men who are least good at dealing with women going to deal with women who are hardest to deal with, just thinking about it makes me feel there will be fun."

Lin Li said this with some sincerity.

"Like that..." Ceng Ziang scratched his head.

Don't know why, although he only met Lin Li twice, he felt it was unusually reasonable for Lin Li to do such a thing.

"And I don't want to go alone, so I'm asking Brother Ziang, since you have needs in this area.

Then we can hit it off, I'll go watch the fun, you go... shine and appear, hold the beauty back, so we all have a bright future." Lin Li explained.

"Eh, you damn want to say I'm going to be the fun! This turn is too raw!" Ceng Ziang widened his eyes.

Spoke too fast, Lin Li smiled flatteringly.

"However..." Ceng Ziang frowned and pondered, then nodded:

"It's also possible... to be honest, originally when I said I was going to take the civil service exam, my family never urged me, but ever since I found a job, my parents immediately started urging me, and even wanted to help me arrange it."

Actually, this situation is also relatively 'normal'.

Assuming children graduate from college on June 15, many parents are still urging them to study hard on June 14, but start urging them to get married and have children on June 16.

"Okay, let's go see, friendship meetings are much less awkward than meeting alone, let's see the situation, when is it tomorrow, where is the location?" Ceng Ziang made up his mind and nodded.

"The time starts at 2:30 in the afternoon, there are other specifics, I'll send you the link later."

"Okay, then we'll go together from the complex? I'll drive."

"Okay."

The two agreed.

Very good, this way he could tell Chen Yu directly.

They had also reached the hair-drying area. There were four public hair dryers on the boys' side, but it was more than enough for boys, especially since most grandpas' hair was also very grandpa-like, wiping with a towel was enough, and hair dryers were redundant.

After showering, the filter on himself was still working, there were no outsiders, plus he had promised Chen Yu, so Lin Li took a few photos in front of the mirror.

Then he blew his hair casually with one hand, and continued to use his phone with the other.

After responding to the messages Chen Yu shared with him during swimming, Lin Li picked out some photos that were more interesting or handsome from the photos he just took and the ones Ceng Ziang sent him, and sent them over.

This time she didn't reply immediately, it seems Chen Yu wasn't looking at her phone.

Seeing Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu chatting about a drama in "Three People and One Dog," Lin Li sent a photo of himself facing the mirror.

"Lin Li: 【Image】"

Counted ten seconds.

"Lin Li withdrew a message."

"Lin Li: Oh, sorry, my hand slipped, clicked the wrong one."

Lin Li waited, expecting what kind of scolding he would get after being cheap this time.

Then Lin Li didn't smile.

Because the group died.

Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu, who were chatting just now, disappeared, disappearing completely like this without any warning.

Damn, why the cold violence.

Eh friend~ not giving any air? Making it so suffocating?

No, it must be because they didn't see it.

"Lin Li: 【Image】"

"Lin Li: @Ding Sihan @Qu Wanqiu @Bai Bufan"

"Lin Li: Oh, hand slipped again, didn't intend to @ you, sorry."

"……"

"……"

Dead group.

Bai Bufan didn't reply, he should be playing games or 3p-ing, otherwise he should be sensible.

But Qu Wanqiu and Ding Sihan...

Lin Li's eyes were cold. Since they were doing it so absolutely, don't blame him for using his ultimate move.

You forced me!

"Lin Li invited 'Mengji's Tears' to join the group." "'Mengji's Tears' is not friends with anyone else in the group, please pay attention to privacy and safety."

"Lin Li: 【Image】"

"Mengji's Tears: 【Quote Image】 @Lin Li, buddy, is this you?"

"Lin Li: Haha, it's me."

"Mengji's Tears: Buddy, you're a bit handsome."

"Lin Li: It's okay, thanks for your compliment."

"'Mengji's Tears' was removed from the group by 'Ding Sihan'."

"Lin Li:?"

"Lin Li: Give my buddy back! He still has words he hasn't finished praising! He only typed half the words! Let him finish praising!"

"Lin Li: No! Ding Sihan, are you human! Seeing the message and deliberately not replying, now coming out to kick people? Are you human?"

"Qu Wanqiu: 【Disgusted disinfection of phone】."

"Lin Li: Don't just send emojis and not speak! You two! Speak! I need an explanation!"

"Ding Sihan: Kick you too if you call again."

"Lin Li withdrew a message."

WeChat groups also have administrators, just not showing titles.

Damn it, how does Ding Sihan have this status? It seems he has to soft-grind the group owner Yingbao to get one for himself, so he can have the power to fight.

"Bai Bufan: 【Quote Image】 @Lin Li, buddy, is this you?"

Lin Li's eyes lit up, damn, brother came to save the field!

"Lin Li: Haha, it's me."

"Ding Sihan: Kick you if you send another sentence."

"Bai Bufan withdrew a message."

"Lin Li withdrew a message."

"Bai Bufan: Went to play games."

"Lin Li: 【Bone】 【Bone】 【Bone】"

The intention had arrived, the rewards that should be there couldn't be less, Lin Li was already very satisfied and moved.

Today's shame, must be remembered in the heart, in the future—

"Chen Yu: 【Quote Image】 Actually, it's good-looking."

"Lin Li: @Ding Sihan! Call! Keep calling! I'll let you keep calling!"

"Bai Bufan: Exactly!"

"Lin Li: Why aren't you calling anymore? Why did the group become a library? Hmm? So quiet? Don't you like calling?"

"Bai Bufan: Exactly!"

"Lin Li: Ding Zi, kick! You threaten again? You kick the group owner!"

"Bai Bufan: Exactly!"

"Ding Sihan: Dog relying on human power, Chinese idiom, meaning metaphor for bad people relying on some power to bully people or things. From Ming Dynasty "Baojian Ji"."

"Ding Sihan: Dog relying on dog relying on human power, Chinese idiom, meaning metaphor for dogs relying on some bad people who have gained power to bully people or things. From today's "Three People and One Dog"."

"Qu Wanqiu: Sigh, Yingbao, just spoil him."

"Ding Sihan: I can only say that ancient compassionate mothers have many spoiled children, there will be plenty for Yingbao to regret in the future."

"Hiss—" Chatting too focused, the hair dryer kept blowing at one area, a bit hot, Lin Li hurriedly changed positions, but the smile on the corner of his mouth didn't drop because of this small episode.

No longer paying attention to the sour words of his two daughters in the group chat, Lin Li found Chen Yu on WeChat and sent a message alone.

"Lin Li: The group can only appreciate one of my prosperous appearances wearing clothes, the others are all here."

"Lin Li: How is it, how is it."

"Chen Yu: You are a bit big handsome."

"Lin Li: Not enough, not enough, seeing my sturdy body, monitor, you should be like me in the morning, send 'slurp slurp'."

"Chen Yu: Eww, don't want to."

After chatting about the photos for a while, when the topic was about to fall, Lin Li mentioned tomorrow's matter:

"Lin Li: I plan to accompany a neighbor to a matchmaking and friendship meeting tomorrow afternoon."

"Lin Li: He hasn't been there before, this is the first time, I'll accompany him, give him some courage, and by the way, I'll go watch the fun. I feel it should be quite interesting, watch it as a live love variety show."

"Lin Li: Sir, reporting to you!"

"Chen Yu: My boyfriend seems to be about to fall in love."

"Lin Li: Talking, talking, talking with you."

"Chen Yu: Cut."

"Chen Yu: Sir received, if there is anything interesting, remember to tell me when you are at school at night."

Chen Yu really didn't take this as anything.

After all, for high school students, matchmaking is too distant a word, a vocabulary that can hardly be related.

But Lin Li having such a bad taste and taking action... Chen Yu felt it was quite normal.

As for worrying about Lin Li falling in love...

Chen Yu believed in herself, believed in Lin Li, and believed even more in those people in the friendship meeting—calling

Not worthy of Lin Li, can't compare to himself.

"Lin Li: Why wait until night? If you're tired of studying, you can call me directly, and I'll give you a remote live broadcast."

"Chen Yuying: Call you and then listen to other people's voices? Then I'd rather not call~"

"Lin Li: 【Heart】"

"Lin Li: I'll see if this time is interesting. If it's interesting, I'll take everyone to play next time."

"Chen Yuying: Only you would be interested. Lin Li, did you just finish swimming? Did you go to take the Subject Two test?"

"Lin Li: Just finished blow-drying my hair, now I'm preparing to go to the driving school test site. How about you, when do you plan to go home?"

"Chen Yuying: I'm going to have dinner here. I probably won't leave immediately after eating. I estimate after seven or eight o'clock."

"Lin Li: Okay."

Putting down the hairdryer, Lin Li rubbed his hair in the mirror.

This can be considered finding a "real" reason to replace the "system task" for the blind date and social gathering, so tomorrow can be more relaxed and natural.

No need for lies or concealment. She is good, and he is good. Long live.

"Brother, shall we go?" Lin Li's eyes looking at Ceng Ziang held a bit more gratitude.

"Hmm, let's go." Ceng Ziang nodded, and the two went to the front desk to return their wristbands and walked toward the parking lot.

"Then we're going straight back to the complex?" Ceng Ziang asked.

"Brother, you go back yourself. I'm going to take the driving test later, so I'll just take a taxi to the test site." Lin Li naturally waved his hand and said.

"You have this arrangement? Then why take a taxi? Sit in my car, I'll take you there," Ceng Ziang snapped his fingers immediately, and without waiting for Lin Li to decline, he said immediately:

"Lin Li, we're both young, and adults' fake politeness isn't popular. I'm really not busy and have nothing to do right now. Taking you there is just a small effort. If you refuse, it will only make me depressed."

"Okay, then thank you, Brother." Lin Li didn't act coy and nodded with a smile.

"Get in, get in."

The two sat in the driver and passenger seats again and drove out of the parking lot.

"Lin Li, which subject are you taking today?"

"Subject Two."

"Oh, oh, I think Subject Two is still relatively simple. Although I didn't pass it in one go, I passed the make-up test on the spot." After getting the test site location and opening the navigation, Ceng Ziang chatted while driving.

"I should be able to pass today too," Lin Li said modestly.

"Let me tell you a few points where you might make mistakes..." Ceng Ziang was preparing to share his experience when he suddenly paused, looking at Lin Li with some curiosity: "Eh? Lin Li, I remember you told me during the Mid-Autumn Festival, weren't you just in your first year of high school?"

"Yes."

"You're already an adult?"

"Yes."

"Ah? How are you an adult in your first year of high school?" Ceng Ziang asked the question he had just thought of.

"I had an accident when I was a child, and I dropped out of school then." Lin Li gave the answer to the question that was written in Chapter 3 of the antenna but many people didn't notice and often asked.

"Oh, oh," Ceng Ziang's voice immediately softened, and there was more apology, "Are you okay now?"

"Do I look like I'm not okay?" Lin Li smiled, "Not a single aftereffect."

"That's good, that's good." Ceng Ziang nodded with a smile, "Surviving a great disaster, there must be future blessings. It's a blessing in misfortune. Your parents must have been scared to death when they found out, right?"

"My mom was at the time."

Ceng Ziang's mouth was faster than his brain: "What about your dad?"

"My dad didn't have the blessing."

"......"

Ceng Ziang: "o_o"

"Lin Li, Uncle, he... is he gone?" When he understood the meaning behind this sentence, Ceng Ziang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his voice filled with deep probing, and asked softly.

"Hmm." Lin Li nodded.

Ceng Ziang: "......"

"......"

Ceng Ziang gradually lost his smile.

The conversation between himself and Lin Li before coming to the swimming pool flashed back in Ceng Ziang's mind at this moment—

"Oh, oh, then your rice cooker is quite big, or rather, your dad's appetite shouldn't be big. My dad is a manual laborer and can eat a lot."

Ceng Ziang: "......"

Ceng Ziang finally knew which window God closed for Lin Li—he closed his dad.

Damn! Wait! How could such a hellish thought appear in his brain!

Stunned for a moment, coming back to his senses, Ceng Ziang pressed the accelerator with a little force, his expression looking ferocious and remorseful: "Damn it... I really deserve to die!"

And when the vehicle accelerated, Lin Li, feeling the obvious push back: "(；o_o)?"

"No? Brother!"

"Wait! Wait!"

"Brother! Whether I deserve to die or not, let's not worry about it! Don't die now!"

"Slow down! Slow down! Brother! I don't deserve to die!! Brother! I was desensitized long ago! You don't deserve to die either!!"

"Don't die! Don't you die! And I won't die! Let's not die!!"
