Chapter 385: Middle-aged man, danger! Your position is about to be replaced by Lin Li

As the saying goes, every family has its own difficult scripture to read.

But Lin Li felt that not every family did.

For instance, he only had half a book.

And orphans didn't even have that half.

"Wait, wait a minute! What kind of 'never argued with parents' is this!"

After hearing Lin Li's explanation, Zhang Haoyang and Qin Zeyu were stunned for a long while before they couldn't hold back and retorted loudly.

Your mother's.

According to Lin Li's logic, the race of people with the best relationship with their fathers in the world is that one.

Most of those people have never argued with their fathers—after all, the reason black people like 'zero-dollar shopping' is because they haven't paid in full!

Right?

This isn't right!

"You two just tell me, have you ever argued?" Lin Li spread his hands innocently, feeling his logic was fine, then asked sincerely:

"So, Zeyu, Haoyang, do you two also wish to have such a harmonious family atmosphere?"

"If you do, I have a plan..."

"Wait, wait, wait!" At this moment, Lin Li, who was inciting them, looked like Jia Xu in the eyes of Qin Zeyu and Zhang Haoyang: "Brother Wenhe, things haven't reached that point yet, it's not necessary, not necessary..."

Facing this guy who was suspected of wanting to take action against his own parents, the two spoke with sincere persuasion.

If the way to solve family conflicts was to eliminate the soil where conflicts grew, the two still hoped to have parents.

To put it bluntly, cutting off one's parents is like killing one's financial path. Although parents scold them, they really do "explode gold coins" (give money).

"... Fine, then if you two need it in the future, ask me again." Lin Li felt a bit regretful.

Then he looked around and still didn't find Chen Yuying, so he asked: "Where is the class monitor? Did she go to the bathroom?"

The two who had been scolded by their parents the whole time naturally didn't know, but Zhou Baowei, who had returned after finishing his sesame cake, patted the pork belly on his chest upon hearing this and answered for Lin Li:

"I know, I heard it just now. Old Jian asked her to go to the office to get something, she should be back soon."

"Finished eating?" Lin Li turned his head upon hearing this, looking at the oil stain on the corner of Zhou Baowei's mouth, and looked at him with disdain.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Your dad still spoils you too much. He's even afraid you'll be hungry while waiting outside for the parent-teacher meeting." Lin Li sighed. "Baowei, oh Baowei, if you go on like this, when the zombie apocalypse breaks out, the zombies will have to search the whole place for garlic after biting you."

"Tsk tsk, Lin Li, you're just like Pan Jinlian, saying things taste like seafood because you can't eat the sesame cake." This level of attack was like scratching an itch for him. Zhou Baowei, who wasn't afraid of being robbed because he had no food on him, didn't care at all. After giving Lin Li a punch, he said disdainfully.

Seeing an opportunity, Lin Li let Bai Bufan take over the task of continuing to cultivate Zhou Baowei's mental resilience, while he changed positions.

Chen Yuying had already appeared with a stack of booklets and walked into the classroom to help Xue Jian distribute them.

Stepping out of the classroom door again, her gaze was drawn to Lin Li, who was waving at her while leaning against the railing of the overhead corridor.

"What's wrong?" Like a bird returning to its nest, Chen Yuying walked faster and faster, naturally leaning against the guardrail beside him.

Her fingers rested on the iron handrail, tapping lightly with a rhythmic beat.

"Class monitor, I just felt like your mom has been looking at me the whole time. Is it my imagination, or does she already know?" Lin Li asked in a low voice.

"That's not your imagination, my mom knows." Upon hearing this, Chen Yuying's clear eyes curved, and she answered in a low voice as well.

"She really knows?"

Although he had guessed it, hearing it confirmed made Lin Li subconsciously straighten his back, as if he had been instantly locked onto by an invisible gaze.

He couldn't help but look back toward the classroom, feeling as if a gaze capable of penetrating walls was falling on him at that moment.

"When did she find out? Was I seen when I was downstairs at your place last weekend?"

"No," Chen Yuying shook her head with a smile, "She knew before we were together."

Her voice softened as she spoke.

"Before, when I hugged you, Uncle Zhuang—the driver my family hired—he saw it. I didn't know if he would listen to me when I told him not to tell my family, and I also felt my dad probably had him watching me.

I didn't want my dad to know at that time, so I told him he could tell my mom, but he was absolutely forbidden from telling my dad, and Uncle Zhuang agreed."

"That night, I took the initiative to tell my mom. She promised me not to tell my dad for now, and she also said she had noticed a little bit before that day, but didn't point it out. I don't know if it's true."

The young girl's voice became lighter, carrying a sense of joy in sharing sweetness:

"Later, the night you confessed, and the incident last week when you came downstairs to my place, I shared it with her immediately."

"Especially last week, that window is my living room. My mom was sitting on the sofa not far behind me at the time, but don't worry, she wasn't eavesdropping..."

Chen Yuying told the story gently and softly.

So she knew even earlier than expected, Lin Li raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.

Chen Yuying intended to continue, but seeing Lin Li looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, even his hands looking a bit uneasy, she curved her eyes: "Lin Li, what's with that expression~"

Lin Li didn't answer the question and sighed: "If I had known, I would have worn a suit to school today..."

Chen Yuying was stunned for a moment, then a clearer, more pleasant laughter escaped her lips: "There's nothing to be nervous about, she was just talking about you to me."

"What did she say?" Lin Li pricked up his ears.

"She said her first impression of you was quite good, and she likes you quite a bit." Chen Yuying put her hands behind her back, her eyes curving into crescents with a smile, and she added with a little pride: "She thinks I have good taste."

"I'm sorry." Lin Li suddenly became serious, his tone sincere.

"Hmm?" This sudden apology was truly unexpected. Chen Yuying was stunned for a moment, tilting her head in confusion: "Sorry for what?"

"Class monitor, please help me convey to Mother Dear that the person I like is you, so even if she likes me, it's impossible between her and me!" Lin Li closed his eyes, as if announcing a difficult decision, his tone heavy.

Being Chen Yuying's dad...

Yamete! Lin Li can't do it! That's too lewd, too inappropriate for children!

Chen Yuying: "?"

Chen Yuying puffed out her cheeks slightly, looking very cute, but what she said wasn't cute at all, her speaking speed very fast: "I'm going to tell my mom about the conversation we just had."

Lin Li: "?"

"Not necessary, not necessary, not necessary, my Yingbao can't be so heartless! Apologies again—in parentheses, this apology is for you." Lin Li put his hands together, he started it.

Only then did Chen Yuying hum with satisfaction, the corners of her mouth lifting in a victorious arc.

"I didn't expect your mom to be so open-minded and trust you so much." Having received the answer that Chen Yuying's mom's first impression of him was satisfactory, the slight anxiety in Lin Li's heart finally dissipated, and his tone became relaxed.

Middle-aged man! You should learn from this!

Chen Yuying smiled without saying a word, a trace of shyness hidden in her flowing gaze.

Actually, there were still constraints.

She still made a request to herself, saying that during high school, she and Lin Li must absolutely, absolutely not cross the red line. If they did, she would definitely tell her dad, and she herself would choose to intervene directly.

Finally, perhaps worried that love makes people blind and flustered, and that people in love are prone to being unable to restrain themselves, and that she might act in defiance of her words, she repeatedly urged that if it really came to that step, she must remember to use safety measures.

But how could she say such things to Lin Li?

Mainly because this guy Lin Li is a pervert himself. After she finished speaking, he would definitely have a lot of things that would make her face flush red and say them in a series.

She felt he would definitely ask what the red line specifically was.

And then ask what about above the red line, on the edge of the red line, just rubbing...

Chen Yuying suddenly covered her cheeks.

—That last sentence, Lin Li shouldn't have said it to her, but why did she 'think' of it so naturally in her mind?

It's ruined.

Her brain has been assimilated by this pervert Lin Li, damn Lin Li.

"I've decided!"

Chen Yuying, who was shifting the blame to Lin Li in her heart, was startled by Lin Li's sudden movement and voice, then asked: "Decided what?"

"I'll tell my mom too," Lin Li turned to look at Chen Yuying, his eyes burning: "Rounding up, we can consider today as meeting the parents."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuying froze as if she had been pressed on a pause button.

The shyness that hadn't faded became even richer.

Lowering her head, the young girl's slender fingers twisted the hem of her school uniform in a flustered manner, and she suddenly felt her lips were a bit dry, subconsciously licking them lightly with the tip of her tongue, leaving a trace of moisture.

If I had known, I would have worn a dress to school today...

This thought popped up without warning.

Yeah.

She had indeed been assimilated by Lin Li.

It wasn't until a hand waved in front of her several times that Chen Yuying's eyes refocused. She turned her head, and it was Lin Li's eyes filled with teasing laughter:

"Class monitor, why did you suddenly freeze?"

Chen Yuying naturally wouldn't pay attention to Lin Li, who was asking knowing the answer.

But it's okay, Lin Li could perform a one-man show: "Who was it that just said 'There's nothing to be nervous about~'?"

"Don't mimic me!" The nervousness was suppressed by shyness and annoyance. Chen Yuying reached out a hand to press against Lin Li's cheek and pushed it to the other side, not letting him look at her again.

"Don't worry," Lin Li took the opportunity to grab her pushing hand, and with a backhand, used his fingertips to gently pinch her soft cheek, his movements intimate and soothing: "I already told my family once before."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Chen Yuying forgot to stop the hand on her face for a moment and asked with some anticipation: "You told them? What was Mom's reaction?"

Lin Li: "Not my mom, I told my dad, and he expressed he had no opinion on it."

Chen Yuying: "..."

Chen Yuying was silent for a short while, and then her action was very cute—she tilted her head slightly toward the clear sky, then closed her eyes, her hands loosely clasped in front of her, as if praying devoutly, and said in a whisper that only the two of them could hear, very, very lightly: "Thank you, Uncle."

Not teasing Chen Yuying anymore, Lin Li withdrew his hand and leaned against the railing again, asking with a smile:

"I didn't tell my mom before, but now that I've heard that your mom already knows, I really do want to tell her one day, and even want to have them add each other on WeChat in advance." ===== CHAPTER 386 =====
