CHAPTER 163: CHAPTER 141: THE CONCLUDING BANQUET WILL OPEN AGAIN

Lin Li finally held back.

After all, when the body is already relaxed, sudden shocks and repetition can easily break down defenses.

The main thing is, Lin Li is currently facing Zhou Baowei’s back.

If something burst through layers of obstacles and appeared in front of him, that sort of thing is definitely not wanted.

Just now the experiment was indeed meaningful.

Bleeding is equivalent to binding the user, while the activation condition for the "Propelling Limit Charm" is that it must always adhere to the user’s body. As for whether the time it’s off counts within the ten minutes, that part is yet unclear.

Lin Li felt somewhat relieved.

Since starting his cultivation, the biggest victim has been Bai Bufan, the greatest beneficiary Zhou Baowei.

Indeed, it confirmed the old saying, when a man attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to Heaven.

As good brothers of his, these two have also ascended to Heaven—Bai Bufan went to the Western Heaven, Zhou Baowei went to the Western Heaven.

...

"Bang."

Finally, the gondola reached the station, and the staff prepared to open the door.

Zhou Baowei took a deep breath, intently staring at the nearby bathroom.

The "Propelling Limit Charm" breaks limits, but still has limitations. As time passed, Zhou Baowei lost the composure he just had. If not for the "Propelling Limit Charm," he would likely have flooded the gondola long ago, and everyone would have cried and begged him, "Uncle don’t unleash, I’m scared!"

As soon as the door opened, the staff’s greeting wasn’t finished before they saw Zhou Baowei bolt out.

Yunliu Mountain counts as a tourist spot, so there would definitely be paper in the bathroom; hence, he didn’t even bother taking his bag.

"Huh? How can he run that fast? Surely faster than my fifty-meter sprint?" Bai Bufan paused his movement, shocked by Zhou Baowei’s speed.

"Human potential is endless. Bao Wei runs at extreme speed when extremely wanting to relieve himself, isn’t that completely normal?" Lin Li explained Zhou Baowei’s behavior.

The "Propelling Limit Charm" still deserved its fifty-system-currency price, the boost was very noticeable.

"Well, it makes sense." Bai Bufan nodded.

"Let’s go, check on Bao Wei." Lin Li asked Bai Bufan as he walked out of the gondola.

"I understand visiting prisoners, performers, patients. But visiting poop, what’s the point?" Bai Bufan’s curiosity was piqued by Lin Li’s words.

"I have a hunch, Bao Wei is going to unleash something big this time."

"...He sure is about to release something big, fine, let’s wait at the entrance."

...

Zhou Baowei leaned on Lin Li and Bai Bufan’s shoulders, virtually dragged forward.

"What’s wrong? What happened?" Noticing the three, Xue Jian’s expression instantly turned worried, quickly approaching to ask, "What’s going on with Bao Wei?"

Bai Bufan: "Pooping."

Lin Li: "Using the toilet."

From this answer, it’s clear Lin Li was much more elegant than Bai Bufan.

Zhou Baowei nodded too.

Xue Jian: "?"

Zhou Baowei could barely walk on his own, his lips pale, gasping heavily as if he’d drop at any moment.

Yet these kids insist it’s because of a poop?

Who’s ever used the toilet ending up like this?

"Be honest! What exactly happened? Now’s not the time for jokes!"

Xue Jian’s face grew stern, his tone was filled with anger, given the situation seemed grave but these mischievous kids were still playing tricks and lying.

Bai Bufan had been scolded by Xue Jian way less than Lin Li, and feared him already. Now an angry Xue Jian was even more terrifying, with just a shout, he trembled.

However, he then felt somewhat aggrieved: "No, teacher, Bao Wei really pooped to this state. I swear on my life, we’ve done nothing else, just Bao Wei ate..."

Lin Li didn’t swear on his life, merely concurred: "Teacher, really it’s not serious, Bao Wei will be fine after resting."

Knowing this, Zhou Baowei was exhausted not due to using the toilet, but the aftermath of the expired "Propelling Limit Charm" in his pocket. Yet he couldn’t mention that.

Then Xue Jian’s face turned even colder:

"If during this life someone simply eats something bad and ends up like this, I might as well have lived as a dog all my life."

...

"He just ate something bad, and then pooped into exhaustion, but he’s fine now, an appropriate dose of Montmorillonite suspension and he’ll be all right." At Yunliu’s medical point, a doctor gently narrated to Xue Jian.

Xue Jian: "..."

He turned to see Zhou Baowei, who was no longer a fading sight of death, lively but appearing ashamed. Indeed, his heart did ease.

His worries were relieved, yet his heart was tired.

How should I regard this first half of my life?

Thinking about it, Xue Jian painfully pressed his palm on his forehead, realizing how speaking rashly in anger could complicate life.

Xue Jian turned toward Lin Li and Bai Bufan; both instantly touched their noses solemnly, expressionless.

But Xue Jian felt even more drained.

Why on earth in this world can using a toilet end up like this?

Though Zhou Baowei has always hung out with Lin Bai’s ambiguous creatures, Xue Jian knew he was relatively well-behaved, yet unexpected this kid could cause him such worry.

Lin Li’s danger level +1.

"Sigh, it’s good that you’re fine now, Baowei. From now on, don’t eat raw things anymore, and remember to eat in moderation," Xue Jian said with a resigned tone on the way back to the bus with the three of them.

"Teacher, I swear I’ll never eat raw things again for the rest of my life," Zhou Baowei nodded heavily, making a heartfelt vow.

Today’s experience was terrifying. It wasn’t thirty minutes, it felt like thirty years.

"What about sashimi?" Lin Li asked upon hearing this.

Zhou Baowei: "?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Baowei changed his wording, "Teacher, I’ll never eat things that should be cooked raw again in my life."

Xue Jian: "..."

This definitely wouldn’t be the last time, Xue Jian was sure.

...

Since they had to take Baowei to the medical station, they wasted quite a bit of time. After everyone got on the bus, it immediately headed for the base so that everyone could retrieve their luggage.

"Thanks to you both this time," Zhou Baowei finally found a moment while packing his things to thank Lin Li and Bai Bufan.

"We’re all buddies, why are you thanking me as if I’m your dad?" Bai Bufan waved his hand dismissively.

"Exactly, haven’t you heard the saying? ’A father is the biggest danger in times of peace, but in times of danger, fathers like us are your greatest support,’" Lin Li nodded in agreement.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

What a pair of bastards.

"Who can stand seeing their brother cry out loud? I really can’t bear it," Lin Li laughed, as the three of them walked arm in arm with their luggage towards the door of the bus.

At the doorway, Chen Tianming poked his head out, pointing to himself, "It’s not just the three of you in this room, what about me? Is anyone going to pay attention to me?"

"Hmph, I’ll share this grievance with Qiaoqiao, now there’s a new topic to talk about." Chen Tianming immediately became cheerful again.

...

Luggage stowed, everyone was seated, and with a hum, the engine’s roar made the bus vibrate.

And so the scenery started moving backward.

"The autumn trip is over," Chen Yu Ying gazed out the window and sighed softly, "It feels so fast, yet it feels so slow."

"Yeah, even though it was just two days and two nights, it felt like twenty-two days," Lin Li agreed with a nod and a smile.

"I’m already feeling a bit of withdrawal," Chen Yu Ying clutched her phone, her gaze following the receding base, but it seemed unfocused.

"Come on, class president, quitting is really hard, but I believe you can definitely succeed, you can do it!" Lin Li turned his head to cheer up Chen Yu Ying.

She was motivating herself, how could she put herself down?

"It’s not that kind of withdrawal, it’s just that these past two days have been so much fun, like a dream, and now it’s all over, there’s a strong sense of loss, hmm... It’s like a grand banquet is over, after seeing off the guests, you return alone to face the mess, there’s that kind of gap,"

Chen Yu Ying said despondently.

Lin Li certainly understood what Chen Yu Ying meant by withdrawal symptoms.

Lin Li also traveled often.

Every time he returned from "traveling" through Quark, UC, Thunder, Baidu, Manpin, etc., he would experience severe withdrawal symptoms.

Returning to reality from carefree bliss.

Turning around, seeing the disappointment still written in Chen Yu Ying’s eyes, Lin Li smiled and also looked out the window, "Class rep, isn’t it just a matter of looking forward to the next banquet?"

"But there won’t be a next time."

"The world doesn’t have a rule that only when the school organizes can we go out and have fun, right?" Lin Li tapped the car window with the back of his hand, then turned back to look into Chen Yu Ying’s eyes.

"You can invite the girls; I can invite the guys. Although there’ll be fewer people than this time, I don’t think it’ll be any less fun. It might even be more fun because of the freedom."

"Short-term like the National Day or longer-term like winter vacation, there are so many opportunities."

"So, class president, let’s turn the disappointment into anticipation."

"The weak me is already dead, and now it’s an even weaker me, since the withdrawal symptoms beat me, then let’s not quit, let’s just continue to have fun!" Lin Li raised his fist, his tone light-hearted yet passionate.

"You’re not allowed to say such weak things so boastfully," Chen Yu Ying had been listening intently, but burst out laughing at his last words.

"Xiaolinzi is right on this, Ying Bao, let’s just hang out again next time, we can catch up both before and after class separation, let’s not act like strangers after dividing classes." Ding Sihan leaned over and hugged Chen Yu Ying, rubbing her face against hers.

"So if I invite you to hang out next time, would you agree?" Chen Yu Ying asked after finally pushing Ding Sihan away.

"Of course," Ding Sihan nodded.

"I’ll try," Lin Li also nodded.

As long as the master doesn’t assign me any tasks.

Gaze.

Lin Li withdrew his gaze from the window and met Chen Yu Ying’s eyes.

Chen Yu Ying didn’t speak, just stared at Lin Li.

"Alright, I was wrong, I mean, definitely will, not just try," Lin Li smiled and corrected himself.

The master can get lost; suddenly remembered that slavery was abolished after the founding of the nation, I’m already standing tall, so I can do whatever I want, nothing the system can control!

Only then did Chen Yu Ying withdraw her gaze.

Lin Li continued to look out the window; the scenery is really lovely.

...

Chen Yu Ying looked at her phone, but the screen was off.

If the ground were a little lower, it would be nice.

That way, the little legs poking out from the hem of her pale blue dress would keep swinging back and forth in front of the seat.
