Chapter 1258: Chapter 555: As If We Were Husband and Wife

This is a human, this is a human, this is a human, isn’t it a human being???

Is there still any semblance of a human left in this!?

The two people, ever since the call connected, have never been more than thirty centimeters apart.

Clearly, even if they smashed the phone, they could still hear each other perfectly. Yet, they insisted on talking side by side or even back to back, never turning to look at each other, holding the phone and whispering sweetly.

And Bai Bufan guarantees, Lin Li definitely has Chen Yu Ying’s number stored, so he didn’t even need to connect the call. He must’ve known who it was right when he saw the caller ID, right?

Yet this guy just took the call without even a question, chose to answer so eagerly?

Why, when Lin Li answered, none of us—neither Ding Sihan, Qu Wanqiu, nor myself—interrupted. It wasn’t about politeness anymore, we were just dumbfounded, clueless as to what these two were doing!!

These two really were having a good time talking.

Just now when they were on the phone, their smiles were as sweet as could be. At the beginning, both Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu were smiling like teasing aunts, but later on, it turned into a bitter smile, a numb smile, a sneering smile, and Lin Li, as a son, wasn’t smiling at all.

In short, they were completely oblivious to their surroundings.

"You two really believe we’re part of your play in love games, huh? Our presence excites you further?" Bai Bufan snorted through his nose.

Lin Li: "Thanks."

"Who needs your thanks!!!"

Honestly, last semester, feeling Qin Zeyu’s infatuation, and the envy, jealousy, and bitterness towards Wang Ze, Lin Li, and Tianming, Bai Bufan had scoffed.

Women? They just slow down my sword-drawing speed! Irrelevant!

But now, Bai Bufan can slightly relate to Qin Zeyu.

"Ha, thinking about it is funny. You guys are here, wasting the phone bill on calls. I bet it hurts now. Must feel pretty pitiful, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, brother, you won this time. You utterly conquered my psychological defenses, completely broke me.

Facing you, I’m nothing but a stray dog drenched by rain, seeing a brown lump by the roadside, thinking it’s shit, eagerly eating, only to find it’s chocolate, sweet to death. It feels like trembling all over in the cold winter, finally finding a shabby straw hut to hide in, cuddling with the knees to feel that faint warmth, only to suddenly realize the wooden beams have long been hollowed by insects, collapsing the next second, burying me in cold straw.

I thought I grabbed a life-saving straw, but it couldn’t even support itself, just dragging me deeper into the mire. Before, I felt like I could keep going even when reality beat me black and blue, I’d wipe my face and say I’m fine. But this time is different, your few light words are like a blunt knife, not sharp, yet cut the softest spots, not bleeding, yet aching so much I can’t breathe. Psychological counselor, come quick, I’m not feeling right. Psychological counselor, come quick, I’m not feeling right. Psychological counselor, come quick, I’m not feeling right. Psychological counselor, come quick, I’m not feeling right..."

Bai Bufan began to chant in agony.

This rhythmic chant amused Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu, interrupting their spell casting.

"Psychological counselor is unavailable; the sports chairperson is here, baby, don’t cry, take the elbow strike, take the elbow strike, take the elbow strike, take the elbow strike, take the elbow strike, take the elbow strike, take the elbow strike..."

And the big-hearted Lin Li immediately stepped forward to console his classmate.

"Alas," after playing around with Lin Li for a while, Bai Bufan rested his arm around Lin Li’s shoulder, shaking his head in deep lament:

"I really should have recorded the scene of you guys making that call and sent it to Qin Zeyu. I bet, with Zeyu’s disposition, he wouldn’t even finish watching the video before feeling the urge to drink a few bottles of that mysterious potion that makes crops grow healthily."

"I kind of want to drink it too. It really choked me just now," said Ding Sihan, who had already replaced Lin Li beside Chen Yu Ying, teasingly, "Kind of want to start dating, but too bad I can’t even find a familiar male human nearby."

Qu Wanqiu laughed as she looked at Chen Yu Ying, slightly surprised and exclaimed: "If Lin Li called Ying Bao during her downtime, I wouldn’t have thought much, but just now Ying Bao initiated the call? Tsk, haha..."

In the face of the teasing tone and Qu Wanqiu’s nodding head as she spoke, Chen Yu Ying said nothing, just kept looking at her phone.

This phone truly is a great phone!

"Now I genuinely believe in the saying ’those who like each other will become more and more alike,’ but hopefully only alike and not identical. I don’t want Yu Ying’s life to be completely ruined because I understand Uncle Chen."

Qu Wanqiu declared her betrayal. At this moment, she wasn’t yet aware that Lin Li had already labeled her as a traitor in his mind and was waiting for the right opportunity to eliminate the threat.

"Oh! I deeply relate to that phrase!"

The idea guy, Bai Bufan, suddenly pointed a finger upwards.

Everyone looked toward Bai Bufan upon hearing this.

Though they said nothing, their expressions conveyed skepticism: let’s see what insight this curbside stray, who not only hasn’t been in a relationship but also doesn’t know how to interact with female peers, can offer.

"What are those looks for? Each and every one of you? This is my firsthand experience. I realize my phone has become more human-like, but I’ve become more machine-like. It’s a mutual pursuit between me and it," Bai Bufan innocently spread his hands.
