CHAPTER 185: CHAPTER 159: THE HUMILIATION COMING ALONG WEAKNESS

Lin Li heads to the classroom.

After the big joys and lows, Zhou Baowei finds it hard to have any major emotional ups and downs.

He also said he wanted to abstain from desires, claiming that heaven just gave him a warning, so he refused Lin Li’s offer to share again.

Lin Li didn’t insist, not to mention that the recently rested spirit is already severely depleted again.

Besides, to be honest, he doesn’t plan to continue relying on the emotions of this group of buddies to complete the task.

Drowsiness comes suddenly and goes suddenly, which no one finds strange, but other emotions and desires shouldn’t be like this.

After all, once it becomes frequent and spreads widely, over time, they will definitely notice the anomaly. By then, everyone’s worries and fears won’t be Lin Li’s intention.

Lin Li already had a plan in mind for the way to complete this task, so he doesn’t want to mess around with the classmates of Class 4, Grade 1.

Walking to the classroom, Lin Li pushes open the back door and enters.

Then, he starts rewinding time, exits through the door, and shuts it.

Nope.

"Phew—" Lin Li takes a deep breath.

The "Bottle of Hidden Emotions and Desires" shouldn’t be used too often; using it too much mentally messes you up and causes hallucinations.

Lin Li opens the door and walks in again, then closes his eyes, letting out a long sigh.

Afraid to open his eyes, he hopes it’s just his hallucination~

Why does the class not look like what I imagined?

Usually at noon in the classroom, it’s just the bond trio: Lin Li, Chen Yu Ying, Wang Yuezhi.

However, just now Lin Li noticed in one glance that Wang Yuezhi wasn’t there.

This can be understood since Wang Yuezhi feels severely sleep deprived today and is likely planning to catch up on sleep during noon.

Chen Yu Ying is there, sitting in her spot.

The class also has a few other students, like Zhuo Yongfei, Wen Muyang, etc., which can be understood since next week is the monthly exam, and studying during noon is quite normal, with even more people likely on Monday and Tuesday.

But the one thing Lin Li can’t accept.

Is Bai Bufan sitting in Bai Bufan’s seat at this noon!

Not the buddies, what gives you the right to sit in Bai Bufan’s seat?

Did you get permission from Bai Bufan’s deskmate?

"Get out, get out." The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Lin Li stepped forward and grabbed Bai Bufan’s collar, dragging him out.

"What’s up?" Bai Bufan straightened his clothes, and after seeing there was no beauty in the corridor, he asked somewhat puzzled.

"Why did you come to the classroom this noon?" Lin Li went straight to the point.

"It’s for the monthly exam, I’m working hard for my new phone." Bai Bufan spread his hands innocently.

"Aren’t you sleepy? Don’t you have a habit of napping?" Lin Li asked after a moment of silence.

"Seemed like I slept too much this morning, not as sleepy this noon." Bai Bufan replied.

Lin Li fell silent again.

Bai Bufan not being sleepy, it’s partly his own fault.

Absorbing drowsiness doesn’t stop the body from needing sleep. Their alertness is temporary, an illusion. In fact, today Zhou Baowei and Chen Tianming, especially during the fourth and fifth periods, were more sleepy than usual, their heads nodding off fiercely.

However, Bai Bufan’s sleep was real; his body effectively recovered its functions.

Slept similarly to nighttime, more than usual in the morning, naturally less sleepy than usual at noon.

Understanding this, Lin Li really felt like giving himself a slap.

The drowsiness should have all gone to Wang Yuezhi; why did it have to go to Bai Bufan...

"Get back, back to the dorm." Lin Li said.

Bai Bufan: "?"

"Why? You can’t possibly still be seeing me study as a threat, can you? Does this mean I also oppress you?" Bai Bufan suddenly got excited.

Then he noticed Lin Li’s contemptuous glance that resembled looking at poo.

Bai Bufan: "..."

This gaze is so hurtful.

"Anyway, get back to the dorm, or sit somewhere else. I don’t allow you to sit in Bai Bufan’s seat at noon, you aren’t qualified." Lin Li said determinedly.

Bai Bufan: "?"

Hold on.

Bai Bufan suddenly remembered who usually sits in this position at noon.

"Oh—" Bai Bufan realized, "I was wondering why you were in such a hurry, turns out it’s this, oh—"

Bai Bufan’s expression was vulgar.

Lin Li maintained a polite yet awkward smile.

Then Bai Bufan felt peculiar again: "Ding Sihan isn’t coming at noon, why don’t you just sit in her seat?"

Lin Li sighed.

Chen Yu Ying’s position, surrounded by students who come to study at noon, even a low whisper would be dissed after being said too much. In such a case, Chen Yu Ying probably wouldn’t say another word.

He planned to chat about driving things at noon, how could he talk like this?

No way somewhere else beats the charm of the classroom corner position?

"So go back quickly." Since Bai Bufan understood, although his understanding might have some slight misunderstanding, as long as the purpose is achieved, it’s fine, so Lin Li said.

"I get it, I get it." Bai Bufan patted his chest, returning to their positions arm-in-arm with Lin Li.

Lin Li smiled contentedly.

Sometimes you really have to rely on your brothers.

Back at their positions, Bai Bufan continued studying.

Lin Li: "..."

"Why haven’t you left yet?" After a few seconds, Lin Li asked.

"Why would I leave?" Bai Bufan asked back.

Seeing Lin Li stunned for a moment, Bai Bufan smiled cruelly, his voice darkened, leaning his face closer to Lin Li:

"Lin Li, starting today, I’ll come to the classroom every day, whether it’s before the monthly exam, during it, or after it, whether I study or not...

remember this, Lin Li, every noon, it’s every day, even if I don’t study, even if I want to sleep—

I...will...still...come...to...the...classroom..."

Lin Li: "?"

#@!!

The most terrifying episode, and also the most effective time Bai Bufan made a threat!

Damn it, the boomerang hit me on the head.

Lin Li was a bit drenched in sweat.

He looked at the "Vessel of Emotions and Desires" in his pocket, could it solve the problem?

It seemed like it could. This bottle is definitely harder than a skull, as long as Bai Bufan is bashed to death with it, the problem should be solved, and the blood could be a sacrifice to the bottle. Good, good, just do it!

Forget it.

Lin Li awkwardly let out a laugh and met Bai Bufan’s comfortable, revengeful gaze, coughed twice, and said warmly:

"Bufan."

"Hey." Bai Bufan curled his lips.

"Now that I think about it, indeed, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I did some really excessive, really beastly things to you."

"Did that happen?" Bai Bufan tilted his head.

"I now deeply realize my mistake, I really shouldn’t have."

"Hmm?" Bai Bufan squinted.

"Here, I sincerely apologize to you, sorry, I truly know I was wrong."

"Wow!" Bai Bufan twisted his spine.

"You bastard."

Lin Li was amused by Bai Bufan’s pretentious, exaggerated gestures, made a fist, and then saw Bai Bufan bring his face close:

"Hit me, hit me, kill me, just let the corpse stay in its place!"

"What’s this nonsense? Another misunderstanding, right? How could I bear to hit Brother Bai? This is a case of great waters flooding the Dragon King’s temple, Brother Bai. What kind of relationship do we have? We’re bros, those were just small misunderstandings before, there’s no need for them to affect our brotherhood."

Lin Li patted Bai Bufan’s back with his fist while ingratiatingly saying.

"Go on."

"Brother Bai is wise and brave..."

"Keep going."

"Honestly, being able to know you..."

Lin Li talked until his mouth was dry.

Bai Bufan finally nodded, turned to look at Lin Li, and under Lin Li’s hopeful gaze: "Did you not eat? Why so weak with the patting?"

Lin Li took a deep breath.

Why didn’t I just faint this pretentious guy this morning?

I’ve been too lenient with this dude.

Should I just electrocute him now?

Noticing Lin Li stopped patting his back, Bai Bufan turned his head in confusion.

He found Lin Li grinding a stick from Pingjiang against the wall corner, occasionally making stabbing gestures at the chest.

Bai Bufan: "..."

If Bu Hao gets any more smug, he’ll smug himself to death (physically).

"Cough, cough." Bai Bufan got up, placed the weapon back on the windowsill from Lin Li’s hand, but still maintained an arrogant attitude: "Xiaolin, I can go back. Even if I have to study in the future, I’ll study in the dormitory, but you... you know what to do, right?"

Having room for negotiation is always better. Friends who often kill know that killing is actually a last resort, so Lin Li nodded like a pecking chick:

"Brother Bai, got it. I promise I’ll never send you horror films again, and whether you’re there or not, I’ll study properly and won’t show you any disrespect."

"Teachable indeed, okay then." Bai Bufan nodded. Anyway, if Lin Li breaks the promise, he can always come to the class at noon, so he’s not afraid of any word games Lin Li might play. Then he got up again, coughed twice: "I’m going back to the palace for a nap, Eunuch Lin, escort me out."

"Aye, long live the Emperor, your servant sees off the Emperor." Lin Li immediately got up, indicated for Bai Bufan to follow him.

The two walked to the back door of the classroom.

"Refreshing!" After reaching the hallway, Bai Bufan could finally speak louder, he wickedly grinned at Lin Li: "Lin Li, turns out even you have a day like this!"

Lin Li: "..."

Petty people get complacent.

"Alright, alright, Xiaolin enjoy your noon." Bai Bufan happily walked towards the stairs.

At the moment Bai Bufan turned away, Lin Li’s expression changed, his face darkened, and he let out a cold laugh.

But in the next moment, Bai Bufan chose to turn back and caught the change of expression.

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

Lin Li: "?"

"Hehehe~~ I didn’t notice~~" Lin Li started playing dumb.

Why does this guy understand me so well, is even my change of expression a part of his anticipation?

With an arrest successful, Bai Bufan left completely satisfied.

Lin Li changed his expression again, watching Bai Bufan’s back.

Today was a heavy day.

Lin Li suffered an unprecedented humiliation, one he will never forget.

But it doesn’t matter.

As a cultivator, Lin Li has his means, and he never lets a vendetta go past the night.

Lin Li took out the "Vessel of Emotions and Desires," which contained the emotions and desires Bao Wei was sucked into at noon.

Although he swore not long ago to never toy with classmates’ emotions and desires again.

Lin Li is willing to make an exception for Bai Bufan.

This contemptible guy... he deserves it!

...

As Bai Bufan reached the staircase, he stopped.

He slowly looked down: "?"

Bai Bufan wore a mournful expression:

"No, dude, what’s up with you, why on earth?"

"Who’s your target now? Can you tell me? This doesn’t make sense."

"You’re making me feel like I’m the problem, so annoying, surely nothing bad will really happen, just calm down?"

Bai Bufan was exceptionally anxious.

Xiaobai said nothing, just kept looking up.
