Chapter 270 : I Rejected Them, Of Course, to Wait for You

A thousand words finally converged into one sentence: "Let me see your pussy."

Bai Bufan, Zhou Baowei, and Lin Li's morals and sense of humor were fighting.

The sense of humor won a complete victory, and morals were instantly killed.

It must be that the sense of humor was too strong, not that morals were too weak, definitely.

So the three of them looked at each other, just one look, and it was deafening, explosive laughter.

"Wang Ze! Awesome! You fucking started with zero frames!"

"Good news, you have a real fangirl. Bad news, you probably don't have one anymore."

The joys and sorrows of people are not connected. Wang Ze only felt they were a bit noisy. Some people are alive, but they are actually already dead.

Wang Ze walked step by step towards the fence and raised his left leg.

"Don't! Don't do anything stupid!" Seeing this, Lin Li's hair stood on end, and he immediately rushed up, taking two steps at a time.

"Don't go!"

After snatching his phone back, Lin Li panted heavily like he had survived a disaster.

Calming down a bit, Lin Li asked his phone with concern: "Phone, are you okay? It's my fault, I shouldn't have handed you over to someone else. I almost let you commit suicide with someone else."

Wang Ze, who was still holding the leg-raising posture: "..."

Your mom.

Lin Li, this animal.

"Lin Li, I heard that eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake will kill you. What if I eat them on purpose? Will I not die then?" Wang Ze retracted his foot, decided to change his method of death, and said expectantly: "Come, come, come, get me some Jian Shou Qing sashimi, I must eat to my heart's content today!"

(Translator's Note: Jian Shou Qing is a type of poisonous mushroom).

What a desperate aura.

Watching this scene, the three of them took a step forward and patted Wang Ze's shoulder: "My condolences."

"Everyone dies eventually, either lighter than a feather, or lighter than a feather," Bai Bufan also said sorrowfully.

"Fuck, Bai Bufan, you fucking deserve to die ten thousand times, and you're still laughing at me! What should I do! Fuck! Ahhh! You fucking give me back my pure love! My senior sister! Senior sister! No, not just the senior sister, my life at Nansang Middle School is completely ruined!"

Wang Ze knelt on the ground, painfully pounding the ground, wailing miserably.

"No, hurry up and go explain, why are you still barking here," Lin Li kicked Wang Ze's butt. "If barking was useful, Bufan wouldn't be a useless piece of trash long ago."

Bai Bufan: "?"

"Right, right!" Hearing this, Wang Ze suddenly took out his phone. After operating it for a few seconds, he covered his face with his hands again: "It's over... She not only deleted me, but also blocked me."

"Then give me her QQ number, I'll add her and help you explain," Lin Li said upon hearing this.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Hearing this, Wang Ze hurriedly copied the QQ number and sent it to Lin Li.

The mission to save Private Wang Ze was imminent.

The other party neatly accepted Lin Li's friend request. Then Lin Li explained the reason why Wang Ze did this with text and voice messages, and forwarded the chat record between Wang Ze and Gummy Bear to this senior sister as evidence.

With the combined explanation of the four, the senior sister also learned the truth. Not only did she unblock and add Wang Ze back, but she also contacted the confession wall to have the post that had already been published deleted.

Because Lin Li saw it right after it was published, this post hadn't been published for long, and there weren't many likes. It shouldn't make Wang Ze a prominent figure.

He could still live.

"Saved—" Watching the post disappear, Wang Ze leaned weakly against Zhou Baowei, exhausted, "That's great."

Lin Li and Bai Bufan looked at each other.

Lin Li raised an eyebrow: Did you save it?

Bai Bufan nodded, then raised his head: Saved it, what about you?

Lin Li nodded: Also saved it.

Silent messages were passed, and the two smiled at each other.

Watching this scene, Zhou Baowei comfortingly patted Wang Ze's shoulder. This child rejoiced too early.

"Wang Ze, hurry up and strike while the iron is hot. Say that to express your apology for this misunderstanding, you want to treat her to a meal or milk tea to develop things. This time it's a real senior sister, not Bai Bufan." Not in a hurry to use the screenshots, Lin Li poked Wang Ze and suggested: "Do you still want to throw trash into the river?"

"Eh?! Oh, right, right!" Wang Ze, who had narrowly escaped death, sat up in shock while dying of illness, took his phone, and started typing.

"She said she was also embarrassed, deleted me without asking much, and said she should treat me instead. What should I say now? Should I insist on treating? Bros, give me some advice." Half a minute later, Wang Ze looked up at the three, seeking advice.

Bai Bufan: "This senior sister is actually willing to spend money on you? Pandering to men, disgusting, she's not suitable for you. Wang Ze, let me say a fair word, it's best if you delete her."

Zhou Baowei: "What are we eating, can you bring me?"

"Who stipulated that you can only go out once? Then you say you two owe each other a meal or milk tea, and treat each other once. You can agree to let her treat this time, so the initiative for the second time is in your hands, and you can play it by ear," Lin Li answered after thinking.

"If you like her, treat her seriously. If she's not your type, just go through the motions."

Wang Ze's eyes widened. He kicked away Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei, these two useless pieces of trash, walked up to Lin Li, rubbed his eyes, and looked at him repeatedly.

As if meeting him for the first time.

"Fuck, Lin Li, you know how to do this? So you're actually a hidden playboy? Not single since birth at all?" Wang Ze asked in surprise.

"Isn't this fucking basic EQ, idiot," Lin Li sneered.

"Strategist, Prime Minister! Please bestow upon Ze'er the 'Memorial on Sending out the Troops'! Ze'er promises to absolutely obey like Adou!" Wang Ze approved.

(Translator's Note: A reference to Zhuge Liang and Liu Shan (Adou) from the Three Kingdoms period).

"If you have Liu Shan's attitude, then it's not impossible to teach you everything," Lin Li stroked his non-existent beard.

"What does that mean?" As the conversation started over there, Zhou Baowei asked Bai Bufan beside him.

"Liu Shan respected and listened to Zhuge Liang very much, and regarded the 'Memorial on Sending out the Troops' left by Zhuge Liang as the golden rule. You say he's not smart, but he used everyone in the 'Memorial on Sending out the Troops'. You say he's smart, but he only used the people in the 'Memorial on Sending out the Troops'.

"Jiang Wei: Your minister has a plan.

"Liu Shan: Wait, let me check. Hmm, you're not in the 'Memorial on Sending out the Troops', take the plan back.

"It's roughly this concept. But Liu Shan was also quite awesome, his country wasn't destroyed until he used up all the people in the 'Memorial on Sending out the Troops'. It's not fair to consider him pure trash just because of the idiom 'so happy as to forget Shu'. If Yue Fei had Liu Shan as his monarch, he probably would have killed to his heart's content."

Hearing this, the Three Kingdoms expert Bai Bufan explained to Zhou Baowei.

"Oh, oh," Zhou Baowei nodded.

A few seconds later, Zhou Baowei looked at Bai Bufan again and raised a question: "I've also memorized the 'Memorial on Sending out the Troops'. I remember the first sentence mentioned the late emperor. Why didn't Liu Shan heavily use the late emperor?"

Bai Bufan: "(；☉_☉)?"

Is, is this question right?

"I fucking have to see what exactly is inside your head!" Bai Bufan rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight. "Treating Liu Shan as a necromancer? That's too overpowered!"

After promising to escort the low-EQ Wang Ze when he had time, Lin Li and the other two walked into the classroom.

"What did Old Jian call you guys away for?" As soon as they entered the classroom, Chen Tianming, who was sitting by the back door, asked curiously.

"Rounding up, we went to shoot an investigator series," Bai Bufan answered.

Chen Tianming: "?"

Let's speak Chinese.

"Actually, we just punished a takeout thief..."

There was no need to hide anything anymore, so Lin Li generously recounted what happened today.

It was even better if it spread.

Returning to his seat and looking at his phone, continuing to scroll through the confession wall to search for possible enemies, Lin Li was surprised to find that he was also quite valuable, actually having a whole post about himself on the confession wall.

System, you did a good job.

The post was published after six o'clock in the evening, and there were quite a few comments underneath. Besides some strangers echoing praise and approval, there were also a few acquaintances.

[Qin Zeyu: He's my bro. Pretty girls can add me first and send photos. I'll review them and recommend them to you.]

Qin Zeyu even sucks the blood of his bros in the back row, making war profits. He's really not human.

[Gummy Bear: Indeed, no need to fish and no need to add. I heard he already has someone he likes, seems to be called Gummy Bear or something.]

"Are you sick? Copying this too?" Seeing this ID, Lin Li turned his head to look at Bai Bufan and laughed and cursed.

Lin Li wanted to see this text, but it would be even better if it wasn't posted by Gummy Bear.

And Bai Bufan turned his head to look at Lin Li, his face carrying a tease: "Lin Li, I just posted this, but guess who visited my Qzone in the two minutes after I posted this comment?"

Lin Li directly took the phone.

[Ying]

[Visited your Qzone at 19:44.]

It seems someone is patrolling this post that has clearly been published for over an hour.

Lin Li smiled, returned the phone to Bai Bufan, and replied to Gummy Bear with "Love you baby~".

A few minutes later, a message popped up in the "Three People and One Dog" group chat.

[Ding Sihan: [Picture], @Lin Li, who is this, who is this, who is this? Your friend?]

[Lin Li: Not a friend, it's a dog I raise.]

[Bai Bufan: Lin Li, I am your mother's servant.]

(Translator's Note: A polite way of saying "fuck your mom").

[Chen Yuying: [Bear peeking].]

...

The next day, Friday.

On the last day of the sports meeting, Class 4 didn't have many events left to participate in.

Either the events had already ended with good results, or they hadn't advanced to today's finals.

Lin Li's events today were basically also Class 4's last events: the relay race preliminaries in the morning and the relay race finals in the afternoon—if there were any for the latter.

But it shouldn't be a problem. After all, Class 4 had him and Wang Ze, and Chen Tianming and Qin Zeyu didn't run slowly either.

Arriving at the class base, Wang Ze was focused on looking at his phone.

"Chatting so intensely?" Taking a look, sure enough, he was still chatting with the senior sister.

"I think this senior sister is quite nice," Wang Ze looked up and said embarrassedly.

"What's nice about her?"

"It's nice that she's really a girl."

Lin Li: "..."

It could be seen that the psychological shadow Bai Bufan caused Wang Ze was really not small.

"There are no photos in her Qzone either," Lin Li had this senior sister's QQ, so he was also clear about it. "How dare you assume her gender? Be careful you're not satisfied after meeting."

"If I'm not satisfied, we'll talk about it then. Let's enjoy the emotional value of this moment first," Wang Ze said indifferently. "I've already figured it out, it doesn't matter."

"Very good, it seems you won't become the second Chen Tianming in our class," Lin Li expressed his approval.

There was still a while before the relay race event started, so Lin Li also sat aside looking at his phone to pass the time.

"Excuse me, are you Student Lin Li?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Li looked up. It was a girl he didn't know.

"I am, what's the matter?"

The girl met Lin Li's eyes, then withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and said shyly: "Lin Li, I like you..."

"What a coincidence?" Lin Li was somewhat excited upon hearing this.

And the girl's eyes lit up even more, her words even trembling a bit: "So you also like..."

"Yes, I also like myself," Lin Li gave a thumbs up. "You have great taste."

Wang Ze choked on his own saliva and coughed wildly.

Not far away, with her back to the class base, Chen Yuying, who was chatting with Ding Sihan, also started trembling in her shoulders.

Girl: "...Thank you."

Is he sick?

It's okay, he's handsome, being sick is acceptable.

Remember, a handsome person who is sick is a crazy beauty, an ugly person who is sick is a plague goblin.

"Then, can you give me your contact info, so we can develop things," the girl continued.

Lin Li: "Sorry, probably not."

"Why?"

Lin Li: "Do you want to hear the low EQ or high EQ version."

The girl, who had already somewhat anticipated the outcome, still hoped to hear a more comfortable way of rejection: "...High EQ."

"I'm gay."

Wang Ze, who had just caught his breath, couldn't get it down again, and Chen Yuying's shoulders weren't doing much better.

"...Sorry to bother you." The other party also understood Lin Li's meaning, apologized, and left disappointed.

"Sorry." Lin Li also humanely shouted at the other party's back after she left.

"Lin Li, aren't you afraid that the fact that you're gay will appear on the confession wall later?" Wang Ze, who had learned from past mistakes, looked at Lin Li and said with a smile.

"That only proves she doesn't have high EQ. A normal person should understand this is a tactful rejection. If I get exposed, I'll just clarify. Let's go, to roll call."

...

Afternoon.

They advanced from the morning preliminaries as expected. And looking at the specific results of the 20 classes, with Lin Li holding back, Class 4 could rank fourth, but actually wasn't far from first. The results of the four classes were very close.

Sprints are not long-distance runs, the results can't be controlled very meticulously. Moreover, there are always people recording competition videos, and if he wasn't careful, he might be taken to be analyzed frame by frame, so Lin Li couldn't use his full strength.

There was also good news. In the morning, Lin Li specially paid attention to the Senior Two preliminaries, and that formidable sports student who was envisioned to also break two school records, his class didn't even make it to the finals.

Therefore, the extra reward for the task should be a sure thing, but it hadn't settled automatically yet. It would probably wait until the finals were officially over or the school sports meeting ended.

Lin Li returned to the class base.

"Another confession?" Wang Ze looked up and asked.

—Lin Li had just been called away by someone, not just arriving.

And from morning until now, several girls or friends of girls had come to find Lin Li.

"Mhm," Lin Li nodded.

"How did you answer this time."

"She chose the low EQ one, so I said 'I know, let her go back and wait for notification'."

"Fuck, you're acting like an HR now, huh," Wang Ze laughed and cursed.

"Damn it, the drought kills the dry, the flood kills the flooded. That girl just now was quite pretty, and you rejected her so decisively? Lin Li, hateful!" Wang Ze then felt somewhat heartbroken. "If my senior sister looked like that, I'd be completely satisfied."

"Look on the bright side, maybe it is your senior sister," Lin Li comforted.

Wang Ze: "?"

"What kind of fucking looking on the bright side is this? If it really is, she's basically a sea queen. I'm just a spare tire among spare tires, right?"

"Lin Li, rejected again?" And Ding Sihan also teased at this time.

"It is what it is."

"How many have you rejected today so far?"

"Four."

In one day, having four girls brave enough to take the initiative to contact him, this was already a lot.

"Why reject them? Wang Ze is right, weren't a few of them quite pretty?" Ding Sihan dragged out her tone and asked slowly with a smile.

Lin Li smiled lightly, then looked at Ding Sihan with deep affection in his eyes: "Because I'm waiting for you."

Ding Sihan: "?"

"I am waiting for the day you confess to me, Little Ding Ding," Lin Li emphasized again.

Ding Sihan snapped out of her daze, then somewhat coyly hid behind Chen Yuying, and said 'shyly' to Lin Li: "Lin Li, I, I... I like you..."

"Yay, that makes five."

Lin Li snapped his fingers, his eyes changing from deep affection to predatory. He walked towards his seat with satisfaction, and nodded gratifyingly: "This number sounds much more comfortable. Thank you, Little Ding Ding."

There was silence in the class base at first, followed by a burst of laughter.

Although she had guessed it, Ding Sihan still stood up angrily and started chasing Lin Li to kill him: "So your fucking waiting was waiting to reject me, right!"

"Actually, I didn't reject you, I was just purely humiliating you."

"Yingbao, do you think when I take my mugshot, it looks better holding my ID board like this, or like this?" Ding Sihan stopped chasing and asked Chen Yuying for advice on taking photos.

Lin Li: "?"

Not good, Ding Sihan is preparing to transform into a prison-style girl. So Lin Li ran even faster.

After running a lap and shaking off Ding Sihan, who had confessed to him, Lin Li ran back and sat in Ding Sihan's seat.

"Class Rep, I'm commandeering this seat. Sitting next to you, if anyone else wants to find me, they probably won't have the courage." Lin Li leaned back and said lazily.

"Then sit." Chen Yuying, who was watching a variety show, smiled and nodded.

Lin Li glanced at the phone screen on the table, then reached out a hand. Seeing this, Chen Yuying understandingly placed one of her earphones in his hand.

Ding Sihan, who finally caught up: "?"

"What about me?"

Wang Yuezhi passed by at this time. His left pocket bulged slightly with a spherical object, inexplicably attracting Ding Sihan.

It seems... something is summoning me.

...

"Come on! Come on! Come on!"

"Charge!"

Amidst the cheers and shouts on both sides of the track, Wang Ze, as the fourth runner, crossed the finish line and took first place.

[Do your best... at least two in direct proportion (3/1; 3/2)]

"Whoa!"

Wang Ze thumped his chest, rushed towards Lin Li, who ran the first leg and had already returned to the finish line, and then gave him a hard high-five.

Lin Li still didn't use his full strength, his speed was only half a second faster than in the morning.

But after running his leg, Lin Li manipulated the wind to increase everyone's speed. Plus, the gap with the first place wasn't big to begin with, and the three of them probably also exploded with potential, so taking first place wasn't a surprise.

The task still wasn't completed. It seemed he really had to wait until the school sports meeting was completely over.

"We seem to be first in total points too, right? Even if the second place women's 4x100 takes first, they can't surpass us," Wang Ze said excitedly after drinking half a bottle of water in one breath.

Class 4's women's relay race didn't advance to the finals, so now all of Class 4's competition events in this sports meeting had ended.

But after taking this first place, they had already pulled out a point gap with the second place that couldn't be surpassed even by breaking records.

"I guess so." So Lin Li smiled and nodded.

"Class 4, Class 4—" Wang Ze raised one hand high and shouted loudly.

Silence.

The girls hadn't reacted in the first place, and among the boys, Lin Li, Bai Bufan, and the others didn't open their mouths. Zhou Baowei originally wanted to open his mouth, but his mouth was covered by Bai Bufan.

"..."

"..."

Wang Ze: "..."

Fuck, no one responding is so awkward.

These animals.

"Respond!! Bro, respond! Let's be a bit passionate and youthful? Don't do this to me..." Wang Ze gritted his teeth and pleaded with the people around him.

"Then let's do it again." Looking at Wang Ze's embarrassed look, everyone laughed happily, and Lin Li said.

"Class 4, Class 4—" Wang Ze raised his left hand high again.

"Class 4, Class 4, Class 4, Class 4! Class 4, Class 4, Class 4, Class 4!" The gathered boys finally laughed and cheered loudly, and the girls also joined in.

The youth and passion Wang Ze longed for had an echo at this moment, resounding through the field.
