Chapter 258 : A Young Girl's Heart is Actually Very Easy to Win

"Running so fast, he should be able to get a good ranking tomorrow." Looking at Lin Li's retreating back, Ding Sihan couldn't help but smile and say.

"Indeed," Qu Wanqiu also smiled and nodded. "Born to be a deserter."

Chen Yuying slightly lowered her head, her two hands still holding her phone. Her right thumb was very busy, constantly clicking on WeChat and then returning to the main interface, repeating this meaningless command, while the fingers of her left hand constantly rubbed the edge of the phone.

Her cheeks, which had returned to their fair color after resting, now flushed with a faint blush again, as if dyed by the autumn sunset.

Finally, the phone screen was too boring, and her thoughts had long drifted elsewhere. Chen Yuying couldn't help but secretly glance in the direction Lin Li left, the corners of her mouth curling up and then quickly pressing down.

"Yingbao! Soon to be not my Yingbao! Did you see Lin Li's reaction just now? He was practically ready to follow the signal to find that whoever and duel him, he was as anxious as Bai Bufan."

Seeing Chen Yuying not speaking, Ding Sihan turned her head at this time, leaned on Chen Yuying's shoulder, deliberately slowed down her tone, and teased.

"What are you talking about, hasn't Lin Li always been like this? It's not your first day knowing him, why are you so surprised," Chen Yuying smiled and shook her head.

"Al~ways~like~this~?" Ding Sihan rubbed her head against Chen Yuying's shoulder, repeating in a strange tone, "You seem to be deliberately not chatting on the same channel as me."

Chen Yuying just blinked, as if she didn't understand what Ding Sihan was saying.

Ding Sihan suddenly laughed out loud.

Why does this feel so familiar?

"Sihan, here's my phone, you delete him." Qu Wanqiu didn't let Chen Yuying off either, suddenly taking out her own phone and handing it to Ding Sihan.

"Giving me the right to delete your friends? Wanqiu, what do you mean by this?" Ding Sihan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened, asking in disbelief.

"It doesn't mean anything, just a token of my meaning."

"How can I accept this meaning?"

"It's a small meaning, I even feel it's not enough meaning."

(Translator's Note: A play on the various meanings of the word "yisi" (meaning/token/interesting/embarrassed) in Chinese).

Listening to the constant "meaning" coming from her ears, a foreigner who had learned a little Chinese would probably turn red with anger.

Chen Yuying looked up, gently bit her lower lip, then chuckled softly herself, but immediately stopped: "What are you doing? If you want to delete someone, I can delete them for you too? It's the same."

Ding Sihan nodded, clapped her hands, and said: "The same? Then we can sleep with you, when will Lin Li?"

Qu Wanqiu nodded lazily: "I can make room for him."

"You two!"

Chen Yuying's face really turned red this time, her cheeks puffing up with anger.

Fortunately, Lin Li didn't see it, otherwise Bai Bufan's butt would be ruined.

...

"Has Chen Tianming started running?" Lin Li found Bai Bufan, Zhou Baowei, and the others by the 100-meter track, and then asked.

"Yo, what wind blew you, the busy man Lin Li, here? I thought you didn't have your bros in your heart anymore." Hearing Lin Li's voice, Bai Bufan turned his head and spoke sarcastically.

He had clearly waved for Lin Li to come over just now, but this guy suddenly turned around and went back.

This was naked betrayal! The wounds of betrayal occasionally heal!

"Don't mention the wind to me, I get angry just hearing the word wind now." Lin Li waved his hand, then punched the air beside him, saying coldly: "I really want to ride the wind to the west."

Bai Bufan: "?"

Where did this violent and suicidal tendency come from?

"Not yet, soon." Bai Bufan then answered the question just now and pointed towards the starting line.

For the 100-meter dash, everyone basically chose to watch around the second half of the track and the finish line, so they could see the result.

"On your marks—Set—Bang!"

The 100-meter race took only a dozen seconds. Amidst the shouts and cheers on both sides of the track, the athletes crossed the finish line one by one.

Chen Tianming was third in his group, not sure if he could make it to the finals.

Lin Li and the others didn't go up to talk to Chen Tianming, because Yao Qiaoqiao was also at the finish line. After Chen Tianming crossed the line, she walked up, handed him a bottle of water, and started talking.

Chen Tianming held the water, looking at his expression, if he had a tail, it would probably be wagging like a helicopter.

After chatting for a while, Yao Qiaoqiao turned to leave. Noticing Lin Li and the others, she walked over: "Lin Li, Bai Bufan... you guys are here too."

They didn't talk much, just said hello, exchanged some simple pleasantries, asked each other if they were participating in any events, and said they would cheer for each other if they met. Then Yao Qiaoqiao left.

"Do you have water? I'm dying of thirst." Only then did Chen Tianming walk up and boss Lin Li and the others around.

"If you're thirsty, fucking drink water. Don't you have a bottle in your hand?" Lin Li pointed at the mineral water in Chen Tianming's hand, looking at him like he was a psychopath.

"How can I drink this bottle! This is the water Qiaoqiao gave me, it's holy water. I'm going to take it back to the dorm, put it on my desk, and worship it every day. It will definitely bring me good luck." Chen Tianming immediately widened his eyes and clutched the water to his shoulder.

Zhou Baowei, Lin Li, Bai Bufan: "..."

Your mom.

Zhou Baowei: "Other people hang jade pendants around their necks and shout 'bring wealth', you fucking hang a collar around your neck and shout 'come lick', right."

Bai Bufan: "Tianming, we're all fucking bros. Tell your bros the truth, do you have the idea of collecting sugarcane, chewing gum, and betel nuts that Yao Qiaoqiao has chewed, taking them back, and soaking them in water to drink?"

Lin Li: "Bring wealth, come, bring wealth."

Being asked such a humiliating question by Bai Bufan, Chen Tianming immediately shook his head in denial, his face red with anxiety: "How is that possible, Qiaoqiao doesn't chew betel nuts."

"What about sugarcane and chewing gum?" Bai Bufan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked quickly.

Chen Tianming: "I haven't collected any yet."

"Your mom hahahahaha!" Bai Bufan couldn't hold it in anymore, patted Chen Tianming's shoulder, and said with a smile: "After meeting Yao Qiaoqiao, your ability to be abstract has improved by more than a little, you kid."

Chen Tianming didn't laugh, but instead looked at Bai Bufan with some confusion.

Time seemed to briefly stagnate.

Bai Bufan couldn't laugh anymore. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and probed: "Tianming, you were being abstract just now, you wouldn't really collect them, right?"

Chen Tianming didn't speak, just blinked.

Bai Bufan: "(；☉_☉)?"

Your mom.

"Someone come! Someone come! Come exorcise demons! Get the soul of the simp ghost out of Chen Tianming's body!"

Bai Bufan was really anxious this time. Being roommates with such an insect would ruin love, he had to strike hard.

"It's not that serious, not that serious, not that serious," Chen Tianming hurriedly denied. Mainly because these bastards would really get physical. He raised the water in his arms and explained happily:

"Collecting this is because it's a significant step for me. Today I got Qiaoqiao's water, so am I far from getting Qiaoqiao's heart?"

"Tianming, it's indeed not far. During the chat with Yao Qiaoqiao just now, I found that getting Yao Qiaoqiao's heart should be quite simple." Hearing this, Lin Li turned his head and said to Chen Tianming.

"Huh? What did you find? Bystanders see clearly, maybe you guys really found details I missed. Quick, elaborate." Chen Tianming immediately took out his phone and even opened the memo app.

"It's not much use telling you now, because I still have a problem I haven't solved. If this problem isn't solved, even if you get it, it'll be hard to deal with the aftermath, you won't be able to keep the heart for long." Lin Li shook his head, frowning, seemingly in thought.

"It's fine, tell us the problem, let's brainstorm together. The four of us combined must have at least... half a brain. Maybe we can think of a solution."

Chen Tianming looked around and said with certainty.

Lin Li nodded, and then slowly stated the problem that troubled him: "It's just that I still don't know how to best dispose of the rest of the corpse."

"Disposing of the rest of the corpse? That is indeed a bit difficult. This thing, I think..." Chen Tianming pinched his chin and started to think—

Wait.

Don't fucking think yet.

Chen Tianming: "o.O?"

Corpse? Where did the corpse come from?

"Wait, Lin Li, let's ignore this problem for now. First tell your daddy, how the fuck are you going to help me get Qiaoqiao's heart?" Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Chen Tianming asked in horror.

"I found out during the chat just now that she doesn't have much guard against us, and her combat power isn't high either. As long as the white knife goes in, the red knife will come out, very simple." Lin Li stated his discovery, his face dark:

"But friends who often kill people should know that killing is easy, but disposing of the body is hard. If you don't deal with the other parts, the heart in your hand will soon be taken away by the cops. You don't want your love to be snatched away, do you?"

Chen Tianming: "..."

Your mom.

It really is like this.

"If it's this problem, I have a solution." Bai Bufan raised his hand at this time and said, "I know how to dispose of the rest of the corpse."

"Oh? Tell me." Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan, his face showing expectation.

He still believed in Bai Bufan's level.

"We can just bury the rest of the corpse directly. The key is to find an endangered plant to cover it afterwards. This way, no one will dare to dig in this area, because digging up endangered plants is illegal. In other words, we can completely use the weapon of the law to protect ourselves!" Bai Bufan gave his answer.

Lin Li suddenly understood.

It really works.

Chen Tianming was right, brainstorming, the power of the masses is too great.

"Then another problem arises. How do we get endangered plants? Transplanting them is also illegal, right? What if the weapon of the law stabs us first?" Zhou Baowei asked.

"I have a solution." Bai Bufan naturally had thought of this too.

"Speak."

"Baowei, do you have time?"

Zhou Baowei: "?"

This question was too familiar. Last time it was this bastard who asked him, so Zhou Baowei already knew what Bai Bufan's plan was.

—"Get lost! I don't have time! Don't make me go dig them up for you!"

So things reached a stalemate again.

"Think, think, think, now let's think, think, think together. When you encounter difficulties, think, think, think. Don't let go of any clues, just like a super detective, carefully think, think, think." Lin Li sang a children's song while thinking.

Looking at the three people who were thinking seriously, even sitting on the field with their brows furrowed, Chen Tianming: "..."

They are really seriously helping me get Yao Qiaoqiao's heart.

But I really fucking made friends carelessly.

"Three masters? Um..." Chen Tianming spoke.

"Don't be noisy, I'm thinking." He was interrupted by Lin Li.

"Can we not consider how to get Qiaoqiao's heart for now, and instead think of a way to let me have a drink of water? I fucking came to you guys just to get a drink of water!" His mouth dry, Chen Tianming, who originally walked over to the three just to ask for water, gave each of their backs a kick and said coldly.

"Don't you have your own? Do you want us to spit it for you?" Bai Bufan looked up upon hearing this.

"Give me a test tube, let's still be hygienic." Lin Li also looked up upon hearing this.

Lin Li had learned how to collect saliva. First rinse your mouth with clean water, then press the tip of your tongue against the root of your upper or lower teeth, lower your head slightly, place the mouth of the test tube close to your lower lip, and let the saliva flow into the test tube.

Chen Tianming: "?"

"I want to drink some water, not drink saliva! Fuck, I'm sick in the head to rely on you guys. I'll go back and get it myself!" Chen Tianming shook his head unluckily and walked towards the class base.

(Translator's Note: "Drink some water" (he yi kou shui) vs "drink saliva" (he kou shui)).

Lin Li and the other two then stood up with a smile and also walked towards the class base, following behind Chen Tianming.

"Love is really a terrifying thing. Fortunately, I only love to eat." Zhou Baowei looked ahead. Chen Tianming actually stopped suddenly and was holding up the mineral water to admire it against the sun. He couldn't help but say.

"Don't act like you'd have love if you didn't love to eat," Bai Bufan sneered.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

"Bai Bufan, I'm fucking finding a van full of people to deal with you. Don't leave after school!"

"Then remember to get me some ketchup!"

"Do you want salad dressing? Freshly made."

"What kind of fucking salad dressing is that?"

"..."

The two started playing around.

Dodging Zhou Baowei's Mount Tai Meteorite Crash, Bai Bufan shook off Zhou Baowei and found that Lin Li actually hadn't made a sound, just slowly walking towards the class base. So he returned to his side somewhat confused and asked:

"Lin Li, what are you doing? Pretending to be a melancholy boy here?"

"My liking seems to have gone bad." The autumn afternoon wind blew the stray hairs on his forehead. Lin Li looked in Chen Tianming's direction without focusing, and said softly.

Bai Bufan: "?"

He followed his gaze to look at Chen Tianming, then looked at Lin Li.

Bro, don't be like this, I'm scared.

But Tianming, Lin Li might be more suitable for you than Qiaoqiao. A blessing in disguise.

"Xiaojing, Xiaojing, why can't even Xiaojing be saved." Lin Li looked up at the sky, the corners of his mouth curling up and then dropping.

"Ah? What happened? Why? Xiaojing can't be saved, then what about Feifei? Can Feifei be saved? Feifei, please don't die. My dream in this life is to become her GG Bond. Don't let the tragedy of her going to Jinluo and me going to Shuanghui happen!"

(Translator's Note: Jinluo and Shuanghui are Chinese meat processing companies. He's joking about them being turned into sausages).

Since it concerned the chicken farm, he had to take it seriously. Whatever happened to Chen Tianming didn't matter. Bai Bufan asked with concern.

"I'm not talking about the same thing as you. It's that Xiaojing can't save me anymore." Lin Li waved his hand and accelerated forward.

No matter how many times I call Xiaojing in my heart, it seems meaningless.

Bai Bufan: "?"

What the hell.

...

On the afternoon of the first day, there were only preliminaries for the events. Class 4's results were pretty good, with quite a few advancing.

The field of Nansang Middle School was not fully covered with lights, so there were no competitions at night. However, the students were not allowed to move freely, but had self-study.

After all the afternoon events ended, Lin Li returned to the dorm.

"Baowei, don't just stand there, come up and lie down. Don't be polite, treat it like your own bed."

After Lin Li returned to his bed, he saw that Zhou Baowei, a day student, was a bit reserved coming to the dorm for the first time, neither standing nor sitting comfortably. So he moved his body inward, making room beside him.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

He narrowed his eyes, leaned close to Lin Li's legs, and used the wafting method to confirm that Lin Li's socks and feet had no odor before breathing a slight sigh of relief.

"I helped you two carry things twice this afternoon. You guys get the takeout later," Zhou Baowei finally got on the bed with peace of mind, and then said.

A reasonable request.

For sustainable fishing, Zhou Baowei couldn't be used as a beast of burden all the time; that would be bad for the beast's lifespan.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan exchanged a glance, the electric current of fighting spirit bursting with fierce sparks.

"Your mom, why do I feel like I was shocked." Before Bai Bufan's eyes could become fierce, they were shocked clear.

It's not even winter yet and this static electricity is rampant. Speechless, what a turn-off.

"Hey, you two open TikTok. Whoever scrolls to positive and uplifting content first goes down to get it. How about it?" Zhou Baowei in the middle suddenly had an idea and said to the two.

"Sure," Lin Li nodded, accepting the challenge.

"Okay," Bai Bufan also agreed.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Li opened the short video app.

And was eliminated.

The opening video was very positive energy, making the three of them feel very positive and uplifting.

Only after growing up did I realize that the phone is the biggest homesickness. The woman is inside, I am outside. I feel exceptionally homesick but can't reach her.

"Man, what can I say? Lin Li, out!" Lin Li felt he deserved it.

"Useless things. But, push this blogger to me after I lose later," Bai Bufan sneered and opened his phone.

Bai Bufan was also eliminated.

"Looks like it's a tie." Lin Li didn't expect to be resurrected, and moved his finger again.

Lin Li lost the first round.

Bai Bufan tied.

Lin Li lost another round.

Bai Bufan tied again.

Zhou Baowei watching the battle from the side: "..."

"Are you two selling your accounts? I'll offer five hundred. If it's not enough, I can add more. If it's enough, pretend I didn't say anything." Seeing two such completely cultivated accounts, Zhou Baowei admitted that for a moment, he was tempted.

After several rounds of confrontation, Lin Li finally won—he scrolled to a "bring wealth" video.

Bai Bufan was defeated but proud.

The two exchanged approved blogger information, and then started ordering takeout.

While waiting for the takeout with nothing to do, Lin Li played PUBG with them.

When playing games, Lin Li and the other two had three "no-flame" rules.

1. Don't flame middle-aged people, because they are their future. Put yourself in their shoes: after a day of work, wanting to relax but being scolded like a grandson, the sky would fall.

2. Don't scold women, because they are gentlemen.

3. Don't scold kids, because they are the future of the game.

4. In the face of the battlefield, there are no men, women, old, or young. The above three rules do not apply. Go, special forces.

So, the atmosphere in the dorm was slightly foul.

When junior schoolboys play games, they like to shout the most: Mom, mom mom mom, mom.

So the three people in the dorm now were about the same as them: mommommommommom.

Over half an hour, they played a dozen games.

"Nice! Nice! We are the champions!" Lin Li and Zhou Baowei hugged, weeping tears of joy.

They won this chicken dinner.

Bai Bufan also got out of bed, planning to celebrate together.

Lin Li looked up and sneered: "Survived to the end and still got a 3.0 rating."

Zhou Baowei looked up and sneered: "A pure carried dog."

Bai Bufan: "..."

He didn't have time to discuss with these two guys how the rating mechanism alienates people for now. The takeout call had already come in a few minutes ago, so leaving a middle finger behind, Bai Bufan went downstairs.

And Zhou Baowei also got down from Lin Li's bed.

"Where are you going?"

"The soul abandoned in the large intestine yearns for the light outside." Zhou Baowei walked towards the toilet with a deep back.

OK, taking a shit.

Lin Li had nothing to do. While continuing to cultivate his account, he crossed his legs and waited for food.

A moment later.

[There is actually a cultivator in the sect who was tempted by inner demons, fell into the demonic path, and committed the act of stealing others' opportunities. This is a misfortune for the sect. If left unmanaged, it will likely become a hidden danger to the sect.

For the future of the sect, for the smoothness of cultivation, for the stability of the Dao heart, how can you sit idly by? You should lend a helping hand!]

[Task Triggered!]

[Task 5: Arrest and punish one disciple who committed the act of stealing, and deter others in the sect so they dare not offend again.]

[Task Reward: Physique Improvement: Comprehension increased by 10%; Aura Concealment Ability increased by 100%; System Currency  100]

Lin Li, who was originally lying down, immediately sat up.

Then he started translating Chinese to Chinese—a student is stealing things, and he needs to go punish them.

And Lin Li knew very well that the task trigger scene was generally near him.

Lin Li immediately understood. He ran angrily to the toilet and knocked on the door: "Zhou Baowei! What the fuck are you secretly eating behind my back?!"

A person is really fragile and helpless when taking a shit, especially Zhou Baowei, who was still wiping his butt. He looked confusedly at the vibrating toilet door: "I'm eating lemons?"

"Then hand over the lemons!"

"Your mom!"

Then there was another loud noise, and the whole dorm shook.

Although Zhou Baowei didn't know what happened outside, judging from experience, it was the vibration caused by someone kicking the door open.

Lin Li stopped knocking, turned around, and looked at Bai Bufan, who walked in with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong?"

"The takeout..." As he spoke, Bai Bufan's eyes seemed to hide lice, "...was stolen."
