Chapter 98: The wound of betrayal never heals!!

~8 min read 1,528 words

Lin Li opened his eyes violently.

Your mother, why did you trigger this kind of task at this time?

Mecha? Can this luxury bus also be a mecha? The b++ combat armor that his system once refreshed for him won't be an Optimus Prime, right?

Where is the perfect molding? Won't it be the exhaust pipe, hey?

But put these aside first. Now his primary consideration is how to complete this task.

Tasks that give abilities are still worth completing.

The task doesn't have a specific numerical indicator, but like a progress-type task, it gave him a long progress bar.

Lin Li's genius brain began to run wildly, and he made what he considered the most correct decision within three seconds.

I saw him turn his head violently and growl at Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei: "Baowei! Bufan! Get up, you two get up to the aisle! Fast! Very urgent!"

"Ah? Why? Ah!?"

"No time to explain!"

Although a bit confused, because Lin Li's expression and tone were not like a joke, but very serious, although he was confused, considering that brothers wouldn't harm brothers, Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei had already stood up and walked out.

The two hadn't even fully walked out.

"Monitor! Ding Sihan! I helped you two occupy these two seats! Come and sit here!" Lin Li immediately stood up and raised his hand, saying to Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan who had just walked into the bus and were looking for seats. 【9

The voice was loud; everyone on the bus heard it and subconsciously turned their gazes toward Lin Li.

Two of those gazes were exceptionally intense and scorching.

Zhou Baowei.

Bai Bufan.

At this moment, their faces displayed expressions even more shocked and incredulous than when they had just discovered Lin Li listening to English audio on the bus, staring fixedly at Lin Li.

Their eyes seemed to say nothing, yet they seemed to say a lot: virtual dad, virtual mom, virtual family tree all fucked to hell.

Is this fucking human?

If Lin Li is human, they'd rather go eat shit!

Getting the two of them to stand up was for this!?

You really are a 'brother who would go through fire and water for a friend, but would stab a friend twice for a woman,' aren't you?

But Lin Li really didn't have the time to deal with these two classmates he wasn't very close with anyway; who the hell are these two?

There was no help for it; the system required him to observe, learn, and imitate Chen Yuying's actions, but if the two were far apart, the difficulty of completing this task would be far from ordinary. He couldn't just keep running over to Chen Yuying's seat to see what she was doing, right?

Not to mention the trouble, it would easily cause the bus to change direction and head toward a mental hospital.

So, to complete this task, the friendliest situation was for Chen Yuying to sit next to him; that way, learning and imitating would be most convenient.

And Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan had also heard Lin Li's voice.

Chen Yuying was stunned for a moment because she hadn't anticipated this situation, but Ding Sihan reacted first, pulling Chen Yuying's hand: "Yuying, let's just sit over there."

Being pulled along, Chen Yuying pointed at one of her roommates, Qu Wanqiu, and hesitated: "Didn't Wanqiu already..."

Because they knew they would be the last two to board the bus, the two had naturally asked their roommates to save them seats in advance.

"Oh, it's the same wherever we sit. The four of them can just sit in pairs; Wanqiu won't mind." Ding Sihan excitedly pulled Chen Yuying toward Lin Li.

As they passed Qu Wanqiu, she gave her a look, and Qu Wanqiu smiled and made an 'OK' sign at the two who were 'skipping' her.

There was no sadness about being stood up; Qu Wanqiu was already looking forward to tonight's girls' night talk session.

Before, whenever she asked Chen Yuying, she never got any useful information; it was always "nothing much," "studying"...

This time, with Ding Sihan there to supervise, there would definitely, absolutely be a lot of new things to talk about. This was much more important than having a roommate sit next to her.

Lin Li didn't know what they were thinking; what mattered was the result. If there weren't so many people around, Lin Li would really want to kowtow to Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu.

As Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan arrived next to Lin Li, and Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei hadn't left yet, it felt a bit crowded for a moment.

Chen Yuying glanced at Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei, then confirmed in a small, embarrassed voice: "Are these two seats really not taken?" "No! Haha! No! How could they be? Lin Li specifically saved them for you two! Haha!" Bai Bufan gritted his teeth and nodded, forcing a smile.

Afterward, Bai Bufan looked down in surprise at his own much calmer self.

He suddenly discovered that when facing girls, he was no longer as terrified and uneasy as before; he could even look a female classmate of the same age in the eye while talking without stuttering.

This was something Bai Bufan wouldn't have dared to imagine in the past.

It was all Feifei's credit.

No wonder Lin Li had changed so much during this time; it seemed it was all due to Xiaojing's influence on him.

I wonder if Feifei is doing well at the parlor now? Does she ever think of me, her pure and handsome guest? Is there still a chance for us to meet again?

Why do boys always space out so suddenly?

Chen Yuying was a bit puzzled, so she looked toward Zhou Baowei, trying to get confirmation again.

"Yeah! No one's sitting there! None!" Zhou Baowei also gritted his teeth and nodded.

Lin Li used them like livestock, but they still considered Lin Li a brother.

=9+Book_Bar

Among this year's Top Ten Touching Figures of East University, there would definitely be a seat for himself and Bai Bufan.

However, that gutter-trash Lin Li, this matter is definitely not over.

The scars of betrayal never heal, unless he also treats them to some beautiful and sweet-voiced female gaming companions!

"Then these two schoolbags are..." Ding Sihan was just about to let Chen Yuying go in and sit in the middle—she couldn't possibly sit between the two and be a 250-watt lightbulb—when she saw two schoolbags on the floor and asked.

"Haha, I was just wondering where our schoolbags went; so they were left here. Thank you guys, finally found them!" Bai Bufan laughed very fake-ly, bent down neatly and decisively to pick up his and Zhou Baowei's bags, and turned to leave without a moment's hesitation.

Though it wouldn't have been so awkward to have them sit next to Qu Wanqiu.

The bus had a capacity of 45, and Class Four, including the accompanying Xue Jian, hadn't even reached forty, so there were originally several extra seats.

After negotiating with others, the two sat in the row behind Lin Li, ensuring that for the rest of the journey, they could keep staring at their beastly buddy Lin Li with extremely dark gazes.

Meanwhile.

Wang Yuezhi's heart was shattered.

All his efforts had gone down the drain.

The moment he entered the bus, he first observed where Chen Yuying's roommates were sitting, then chose to sit near them, specifically in an aisle seat, so it would be more convenient to communicate later—all for the sake of having more beautiful memories on his autumn outing.

To like someone is to subconsciously think about these little schemes.

As a result, Lin Li, that gutter-trash, popped out of nowhere like Cheng Yaojin again and again!

At first, when he confirmed Lin Li's position was in such a back row, he had even mocked Lin Li's stupidity in his heart.

But he didn't expect that while he was painstakingly managing how to play his hand, Lin Li just flipped the table! Someone is cheating, how is this supposed to be played?

But amidst the bitterness and jealousy, Wang Yuezhi also envied Lin Li's thick skin; is this the composure of the strong? He actually dared to invite a girl to sit next to him in front of Xue Jian.

Wang Yuezhi wouldn't dare do that even if he had ten times the courage.

Wang Yuezhi rubbed his red nose and sighed sourly.

Lin Li did observe Xue Jian's reaction as well.

Although his purpose wasn't out of liking, Lin Li knew it didn't look that way to others, and Nansang Middle School had strict rules against romantic behavior.

Perhaps because they were off-campus now, or perhaps out of trust in him, believing that even if Chen Yuying pursued him fiercely, he would still abide by school rules and his noble character would never do anything bad, Xue Jian didn't say anything, just smiled and sat in the teacher's exclusive 'co-pilot' seat.

—The above line of thought comes from Lin Li.
