CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 160 HAHA, LIN LI, THIS CLOWN!_2

"What, you can look at me like an idiot, but I can’t look at you like that? That’s not fair!" Lin Li didn’t mind being stepped on at all and was very confident.

Lin Li broke the age-old rule that whoever looks to the left in a stare-down loses, after all, shameless people always win.

Chen Yu Ying turned her eyes away, pouting slightly with a ’tch’ sound, then defiantly said, "I won’t let you see that kind of scene. I’m very smart. I’ll definitely learn to ride a bike soon. Hmph, by then you’ll be amazed and say how great I am."

"Pride will have its price."

"I’m confident!"

"Hehe." Lin Li chuckled and then stopped himself from saying more. With a strange but slightly amused expression, he said, "Class rep, let’s talk about this when you have time. Right now, it’s like we’re two little kids squabbling in mid-air.

It’s like I say my deskmate can eat poop, ask you if yours can, and you say of course, your deskmate can eat two tons and then ask if mine can do that. I’d be furious and say, why not? He can eat two tons and even take some home..."

Chen Yu Ying was amused by Lin Li’s description.

She definitely wanted to find a chance to tell Ding Sihan about Lin Li’s description.

But recalling it, she did act childish just now.

It’s all Lin Li’s fault. She wouldn’t be like this if not in front of Lin Li.

"Okay, next weekend? Maybe during National Day we can find some time; let’s talk about it then." Chen Yu Ying’s voice still carried a hint of a laugh as she spoke.

"Alright." Lin Li nodded, not being in too much of a hurry.

When there are six tasks hanging and no new tasks are triggered for a long time, then he might hurry.

"Oh, Lin Li, do you want to come to the library with us on Saturday?" Chen Yu Ying asked as she got back to the topic.

"Hmm? Who’s all going? Is it just you and Ding Sihan?"

"Wanqiu is coming too. Wanqiu plans to stay at school this weekend. Si Han’s home is still quite close to the Nansang Library, so it’ll be convenient for us to go then." Chen Yu Ying explained.

Nansang Library is not the library of Nansang Middle School, but the county library of Nansang County, located in Xiling Town. It is a first-class library with a thousand square meters of floor space.

"Oh, they’re all acquaintances, that’s fine." Lin Li nodded.

This weekend, after confirming that Chen Yu Ying isn’t learning to drive, Lin Li’s focus would definitely be on the monthly exams. It’s about studying no matter where you are, and the library has a better atmosphere.

"Are we going in the morning or what?" Lin Li asked.

"Si Han and Wanqiu want to sleep in, so maybe around ten or eleven?" Chen Yu Ying responded, not entirely sure.

This type of large county library isn’t like a school library; you don’t have to worry about not finding a place if you’re late, so there’s really no need to stake out a seat.

"Alright, I might go there earlier." With a gathering at ten or eleven, it’s not suitable for Lin Li to work out then sleep again, so he might as well go earlier in the morning.

"Okay."

...

Most of the lunch break had passed.

Lin Li stretched lazily.

Looking at the problem-solving process Chen Yu Ying had written for him, he commented amusedly, "Class rep, how do you manage to write the curly braces so neatly on both sides?"

Curly braces "{ }", typically, Lin Li’s "{" is quite standard, but when it comes to drawing "}", it becomes an exaggerated S curve.

"Just draw it slowly." Chen Yu Ying smiled, explaining while she casually drew a pleasing right brace on scratch paper, showcasing her fault-free technique.

"Maybe it’s not about going slow." Lin Li imitated and shook his head after drawing one.

"Well, then I don’t know."

"Alright, I get this problem now too, I’m gonna take a nap."

Having achieved his study goals for the morning, Lin Li rubbed his temples and said.

Lin Li’s energy was indeed not as good as usual, thanks to the "Emotion Concealing and Desire Storing Bottle."

Resting was for replenishing energy to use it well in the evening.

"Okay, you sleep." Chen Yu Ying nodded.

"Wait a minute." Just as Lin Li laid his head down, he suddenly lifted it again with bright eyes.

"What’s up?" Chen Yu Ying asked curiously.

Lin Li got up without a word and quickly ran out of the classroom.

Thinking Lin Li went to the restroom, Chen Yu Ying didn’t pay much attention.

But when Lin Li returned a few minutes later, he had a handful of leaves, which he placed in front of Chen Yu Ying.

Chen Yu Ying: "?"

"Class rep, in case I fall asleep and you’re bored." Lin Li waggled his eyebrows, hinting heavily.

Chen Yu Ying’s face turned crimson, clutching her textbooks and homework as she stood up, "I’m going back to my seat."

Lin Li merely smiled and laid down on the table, using his arms as a pillow.

Having a good figure indeed seemed beneficial for lunchtime naps too.

Before, using his arm as a pillow meant pressing against bones, just uncomfortable, needing a long sleeve for cushioning, but now it was much better.

A nice little surprise.

With that thought, Lin Li closed his eyes.

...

Couldn’t fall asleep.

Wang Yuezhi tossed and turned in the dorm bed, concluding he couldn’t sleep.

Why though?

He was clearly dead tired this morning, skipped several classes because of it, went back to the dorm specifically to nap to avoid a repeat in the afternoon.

But now lunch break was nearly over, and not a wink had he slept.

Why?

He rarely returned to the dorm for a nap at noon, yet the bed utterly defeated him?

Unable to sleep, Wang Yuezhi’s mind wandered.

Could Chen Yu Ying have noticed his absence and be worrying?

After all, he never missed a lunch break in the classroom before, if not for Lin Li, a commuting student with no dorm, he could’ve spent a lot of alone time there.

Certainly, Chen Yu Ying noticed his unbroken attendance record, right?

Then today...

Wait, today wouldn’t have turned into Lin Li and Chen Yu Ying’s private time, would it?

Before his heart could indulge in sweetness, this thought struck, and terror ensued.

Without him, the righteous observer overseeing Lin Li, the jerk, who knew what excessive things Lin Li might do?!

Wang Yuezhi panicked more the more he thought, breaking into a cold sweat, leaping from the bed in a rush.

The dorm building door, locked during lunchtime, prevented ingress or egress, leaving him no option for leaving.

He could only fry in the skillet of time.

Wang Yuezhi felt like someone who, having finished a day’s work earning three thousand a month, saw Hulk lift a twelve-month installment car and hurl it at a villain, only for it to miss and hit the house for which he’d just paid a down payment.

Despair, anguish.

Every minute felt like a year.

Finally, the gentle bell recalling everyone to wakefulness rang.

Already fully dressed, Wang Yuezhi bolted, sprinting full tilt to the classroom.

Faster, even faster, Wang Yuezhi felt like muscles sprouting wings; Hermes, the god of muscles, nearly embodied him then.

At last, breathless, Wang Yuezhi arrived at the classroom, flinging open the main door.

And then he froze.

First, there was the realization that he worried for nothing. There were others in the classroom; someone kept an eye without his presence.

But more than that, Chen Yu Ying still sat at her desk, not in Bai Bufan’s spot.

Moreover, Lin Li, who never took a lunch nap, was now asleep on his arms, not even awakened by the opening door.

The gap between them was vast.

Could it be...

Not only was the situation not the disaster he feared, but the two were back to their disagreement at lunch today?

Wang Yuezhi’s grin was hard to suppress at that thought.

He regretted missing such a lively scene today.

Wen Shuyang, noticing the blissful Wang Yuezhi post-door opening: "?"

What on earth was he doing?

"Close the door, Wang Yuezhi; the AC is still on," she said impatiently.

"Oh, sorry." Wang Yuezhi promptly shut the door and returned to his seat.

Then he grinned again.

Because upon nearing, he saw Lin Li’s head and arms, adorned with leaves as if from a mischievous act.

Unaware of being pranked—

Haha, a clown!
