Chapter 409

"You really have it? You really did that? I thought you were bragging, damn, Lin Li, you're awesome."

"Awesome, I can only say awesome, too awesome—but then again, is there any more self-heating hot pot? I also want to eat a bite."

In this world, there actually exists a third situation that is completely different from "didn't discover so didn't watch" and "didn't dare to watch because it was an eyesore": coming specifically to watch, and even specifically bringing friends to watch.

For example, at this very moment.

Lin Li stood under the bulletin board with Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei, together admiring his own big name.

The two didn't let Lin Li down either. After reading the content of the circular criticism, neither could hold it in and both offered the highest praise of boys: you're awesome.

Listening to their praise, Lin Li's little tail curled up to the sky.

Oh, this is what I want to hear!

Is this a circular criticism? Wrong, completely wrong! This is a medal of honor!

This is equivalent to you breaking the backboard after dunking at school; compensation? No problem, only one requirement: it must be a real-name circular criticism for the whole school.

It's best to criticize once during the morning assembly, once on the broadcast, and criticize again after putting up a big-character poster. It's best to finally use it as a classic negative example on campus, passed down from generation to generation, and stinking for ten thousand years.

"But it's a pity there's no demerit, why isn't it even a serious warning, just a regular warning." However, Bai Bufan smacked his lips at the wording of the circular and said with some regret.

If Lin Li got a major demerit or probation... he would have one more trump card in the future confrontation of 'birth'... what a pity...

"Grade-first, what do you think?" Lin Li's pride was overflowing, and then he sighed again, with a bit of regret: "I can only say it's unfortunate, the inspection teacher happened to arrive at our floor, otherwise I would have already taken down the invigilator..."

There are still too many unexpected encounters in life.

In the morning, when he hoped Guo Zhun would accept his self-heating hot pot bribe and open the net, at first, Guo Zhun strictly refused.

Lin Li actually didn't think it would succeed either; after all, Nansang Middle School is a normal human school after all.

But, when he was about to give up, Du Hansi suddenly stood up and then started... maintaining discipline.

—"Everyone be silent! Everyone eat quietly!"

—"Stop giggling and whispering! Students by the window and wall, open the windows for ventilation. Students who are eating, eat quietly too, don't slurp the noodles hard, and don't splash it out to affect the classroom environment of the original Class 20 students."

—"Whoever talks again, don't think about handing in your paper early! I'll pull friends to block you at the door! I'll beat you up!"

After saying this, Du Hansi looked at Guo Zhun ingratiatingly: "Old Guo, oh, we're all buddies, and it's Lin Li's heart, so just eat it, and let us eat too."

"Lin Li was right just now, everyone is eating, so it's a team-building dinner, so how can eating at a dinner affect others..."

"Don't worry, we will definitely not be noisy, keep absolute silence, and won't leave any trash in the classroom. As for the smell, Old Guo, don't worry, it's not just English being tested in the morning; after the history exam is over, this smell will have long since dissipated..."

Guo Zhun should be one of the coaches for the sports students. After Du Hansi's words were spoken, sports students immediately understood, and while signaling those around them to be quiet, they all joined the ranks of persuasion:

"Yeah, Brother Zhun, just like before, open the net..."

As for the students around who didn't know Guo Zhun, they looked at each other, then nodded, remained silent, and even sat more upright.

It was hard for Lin Li to imagine that in the last exam room, this place where all the students with the worst grades in Nansang Middle School gathered, he could see the scene of everyone sitting honestly, not making a sound, just looking at the teacher with eyes full of sincerity.

Everyone reached a tacit understanding without discussing it; it seemed everyone was looking forward to the next scene.

This is unity, it's so touching, Lin Li's eyes almost peed at that time.

Guo Zhun was still speechless in the end and didn't take Lin Li's box of self-heating hot pot, choosing a cold treatment of not speaking—but in everyone's eyes, not refusing was a compromise.

And he was also 'mouth says no, body is honest', and couldn't help but eat a bite after others finished soaking it.

Everything was flourishing, but then the inspection teacher appeared.

Actually, the inspection teacher didn't discover the 'Xuan Zhi Yin' in the exam room at first. He was originally just going through the motions. Lin Li witnessed the other party quickly passing by Class 20, just glancing at the classroom a few times without stopping.

However,

Ten-plus seconds after the inspection teacher disappeared from everyone's field of vision, he suddenly walked backward, as if time was backtracking, and returned to the door of Class 20 along the original path.

And his eyes were wide like copper bells.

Shooting out lightning-like shrewdness~ ears pricked up like antennas~ listening to all suspicious sounds~

Ah ah ah~ Inspection Sheriff.

Class 20 citizens tried to pay tribute to the inspection teacher, but failed.

In order to try not to cause trouble for Guo Zhun, Lin Li stood up to surrender.

During the surrender process, naturally, there was no shortage of asking the inspection teacher if he was hungry and if he wanted a bite of the hearty self-heating hot pot, but the bribe was refused; the inspection teacher was impartial.

The inspection teacher was already quite angry, but he didn't expect there to be something that made him even angrier.

At that time, when calling Lin Li out for a talk, the inspection teacher was very angry:

"What's your name? I'm going to tell your head teacher."

Lin Li: "No need to trouble yourself, teacher, my head teacher already knows my name, you don't need to tell him, thank you for your kindness."

Inspection teacher: "?"

Oh, although Lin Li won another progress for the task after this conversation was transmitted into the classroom, at the same time, he also won the 'red temperature' of the inspection teacher.

The inspection teacher said directly to Lin Li at that time, "You don't need to continue this exam, and I don't think you need to stay in this school either. Pack up and contact your parents to pick you up," and then walked toward the seating chart posted outside the classroom, preparing to find Lin Li's name.

Lin Li, who was suspected of being expelled from the sect, although knowing this was angry talk, felt he still needed to beg the Elder for mercy.

So he honestly informed the inspection teacher: "Teacher, my name is Lin Li, from Class 4, Grade 1, the head teacher is Teacher Xue Jian."

When Lin Li's self-introduction came out, the inspection teacher's movements suddenly paused.

He still went to look at the seating chart first, then looked at the empty seat in the classroom, and finally, returned to Lin Li:

"You... are named Lin Li? The one who got grade-first in the midterm exam... Lin Li?"

The teacher's voice was a bit lower at that time, and after seeing Lin Li nod honestly, his expression also became quite, quite complicated.

Lin Li didn't know this teacher, but this inspection teacher was quite familiar with Lin Li.

Not to mention that he himself was from the Academic Affairs Office; when Xue Jian called to consult the Academic Affairs Office on Tuesday night, he was on the scene, and the fact that Lin Li was assigned to the last exam room was even a solution he gave.

He naturally remembered Lin Li's name and ranking, and also knew that the grade-first student was in the last exam room for this monthly exam.

But even without this, regarding "Student Xiaobai" helping the school win an interview and report through righteous deeds, most teachers at Nansang Middle School had forwarded the corresponding tweets and had some understanding of it.

And as the Academic Affairs Office, he shouldered certain propaganda responsibilities and also knew who was behind "Student Xiaobai".

It was also this Lin Li.

Lin Li had, to some extent, achieved 'don't worry about not having a soulmate on the road ahead, who in the world doesn't know you'.

How is it him?

After thinking complicatedly for a while, the inspection teacher suddenly realized, convinced he had seen through everything, glanced at the classroom, and his face turned slightly cold.

Afterward, he pulled Lin Li to the stairs and asked with concern:

"Lin Li, did these students force you to admit this? These self-heating hot pots were all brought by them, and now they're making you come out to take the blame? It's really lawless! It's getting more and more exaggerated!"

Lin Li was stunned at the time.

Seeing the inspection teacher was furious, Lin Li quickly surrendered: "Teacher, that's not the case, I brought them."

"Don't be afraid, tell the teacher the truth, the teacher guarantees you won't have any trouble now, and even less in the future. We at Nansang Middle School have zero tolerance and zero indulgence for bullying, and will never let you suffer any threats or coercion."

There was even a hint of self-reproach in the inspection teacher's eyes.

Lin Li: "(；o_o)?"

Eh, no?

Are they bullying me? Really?

Lin Li: "Teacher, your stereotypes are too serious. Our Nansang Middle School students are all excellent. Although their grades are poor, they are not inferior in character. There really is no threatening behavior. This hot pot was brought by me, and I shared it with them."

Fearing the inspection teacher wouldn't believe him, Lin Li pretended to 'take out' another box of self-heating hot pot from the pile of schoolbags at the classroom door and showed it to the inspection teacher.

By the way, he asked the inspection teacher, "Teacher, really don't want it, really don't eat it? Eat a bite, and after eating, just turn a blind eye~".

Seeing this scene at the time, the inspection teacher felt the sky had fallen, his facial features twitched slightly, and there was some horror in his eyes; he couldn't speak for a long while.

Finally, he let Lin Li wait on the spot, and he went to find Teacher Guo to understand the situation first.

When the inspection teacher returned from Guo Zhun, his facial features were no longer just twitching slightly.

No way?

Is it really the grade-first student who is the mastermind?

So the most excessive guy in this classroom is him?

Wait, wait, is it really the grade-first student accidentally entering the bottom-ranked exam room, and not the grade-bottom student accidentally entering the first exam room?

At that time, Lin Li and the inspection teacher stared at each other for a long time, staring until Lin Li felt a bit embarrassed.

Always looking at people like this, it's quite shy o(*////▽////*)q.

Finally, it was the inspection teacher who broke the silence, and he gradually lost his expression: "Lin Li, have you finished writing the exam paper?"

Upon hearing the reply "finished writing", the inspection teacher, who thought Lin Li would say he hadn't finished and then follow up with "then you go back and finish it first", was almost choked by his own breath. He gritted his teeth:

"Then you go back and check it first."

"But, Lin Li, the school will definitely punish you for this behavior. As for the specific content of the punishment, I still have to discuss it with other teachers. Let me tell you first, be mentally prepared."

Punishment is still necessary.

If it were in private, it would be fine. To put it bluntly, if Lin Li was eating hot pot in the exam room alone, considering his grade-first status, he could completely open the net without any punishment.

But Lin Li ate it in front of the whole classroom this time. If there were no punishment, it wouldn't make sense.

But the specific punishment measures not only need to be discussed with other teachers in the Academic Affairs Office, but it's estimated that he also has to ask the principal—ask if there are any subsequent interviews or activities involving the general public, and he has to handle it according to this angle.

Upon hearing this, the small hot pot that was weighing on Lin Li's heart finally landed, and he returned to the classroom happily.

And on the inspection teacher's side, after discussion, although the demerit could be revoked, he felt that this matter didn't go that far, and there was no need to add a stain to the grade-first student's file. Finally, multiple parties confirmed this light punishment.

After Xue Jian read it and said it was fine, it was posted on the bulletin board, presenting the scene before them.

"I can only say that although my grade-first status is still not as good as a dog in Class 4, in school, I am a little emperor and can do whatever I want." Lin Li hugged his arms and laughed wickedly.

The only pity is that it seems everything ended too quickly, the self-heating hot pot was all wasted, and many people didn't get to eat it. Currently, the progress of Task 3 is stuck at 【(18/20)】, and it still needs two more to be completed.

But it's not a big problem, just two, in the remaining day and a half, if you want to complete it, you can do it with your hands.

Zhou Baowei looked at the smug Lin Li and scolded with a smile: "Damn, you really pulled it off—but then again, is there any more self-heating hot pot? I also want to eat a bite."

Lin Li suddenly looked at the two calmly: "Quick question, what kind of 'B' (pretentious act) won't fly even if you pull it off?"

Bai Bufan: "A 'Ke' B (a pun on 'science' and a vulgarity)."
