CHAPTER 463: CHAPTER 288 SOMETIMES GOD REALLY IS BIASED_3

Change the angle and continue blowing.

This looks even better, yay.

Getting off in a hurry, her pleated skirt caught on the safety buckle when brushing past the car door. She bent over to untangle it, so Lin Li saw the slightly reddened skin on her neck caused by her sweater collar and the woven bracelet slipping down with the movement.

Hmm, it looks somewhat similar to mine, but also a bit different.

"Almost done!" It took a while to untangle, so Chen Yu Ying looked up and said to Lin Li.

"Take your time," Lin Li said with a smile.

Finally, the button was untangled. Despite the short distance between them, Chen Yu Ying still ran over with one hand holding her hat.

Besides saying "Actually, your crush is quite obvious, it hasn’t been exposed because the other person doesn’t like you"—which broke Chen Tianming’s defenses—Hayao Miyazaki also said another thing—

"I don’t know how much I like you, but if I were going to see you, I’d definitely run."

Fallen leaves brushed against her small leather shoes as they swirled down, the toe of her shoe stained by the damp marks on the library steps.

She could smell the faint floral scent in the wind, unsure whether it came from the roadside greenery or the fabric softener hidden in her swirling clothes.

The two were close as the girl ran up the steps to Lin Li, gently smoothing her skirt with both hands, followed by a brief, mutual silence.

"Class president," Lin Li scrutinized Chen Yu Ying today, thought for a moment and then broke the silence with a smile: "Do you know what God added when he made little girls?"

"What?" Chen Yu Ying asked curiously and expectantly.

"Spice, sugar, all the good things," Lin Li looked into Chen Yu Ying’s eyes, speaking softly but confidently.

"I didn’t know the recipe before, but someone just told me."

They locked eyes for two seconds; maybe it was the little run just now, or perhaps because of shyness, her face blushed slightly as she lowered her hat brim and replied in a slightly sulky voice, "Yeah, right—cut it out."

"And you still cut it? You’re hard to please, but now it’s my turn; it’s time to praise me." Lin Li patted his chest and said confidently.

Hearing this, Chen Yu Ying carefully scrutinized Lin Li for a moment, then first looked into Lin Li’s eyes, turned her gaze away, and with a lower and less confident voice said, "We match well..."

"You’re cheating, class president. After I rack my brain to praise you, you just say we’re a good match; isn’t that some kind of universal answer?" Lin Li was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "Next time, you praise first!"

"Then we won’t match next time," Chen Yu Ying stuck out her tongue.

"Class president, don’t underestimate yourself. Although I have indeed been getting more handsome, I can see that you’ve also been getting better. Be confident; next time, you might be good enough for me." Lin Li earnestly tried to encourage Chen Yu Ying.

"That’s not what I meant!" Chen Yu Ying was amused by Lin Li’s shamelessness.

Then she paused, crossing her hands in front of her and squinting slightly. After catching Lin Li’s gaze, she hesitantly asked:

"Lin Li, when you said ’been getting better,’ what exactly did you mean?"

"Of course, I meant all of you; it’s not as if I saw how this outfit flatters your figure and then said you seem to be getting more curvaceous. No way, I couldn’t make such an evaluation." Lin Li replied straightforwardly.

Next time, I should have the confidence to ask boldly, Chen Yu Ying sighed.

Then the toggle button was fastened, and the scenery before Lin Li changed.

"Class president, you didn’t get my point. Looks like I have to test you: if God added spice, sugar, and all good things when making little girls, what did he add when making little boys?"

No matter how the scenery changes, it’s still scenery; Lin Li didn’t care, slightly tilting his head as he continued to walk towards the library, asking with a smile.

"Lightning, stars, all the handsome things?" Chen Yu Ying thought for a moment, attempting to answer.

"Wrong." Lin Li shook his head.

"Then what?"

"It’s Uranium-235," Lin Li revealed the correct answer.

Chen Yu Ying: "?"

"What kind of little boy is that?" Chen Yu Ying raised her hand high and lightly punched Lin Li on the shoulder.

"Not any kind, an island." Lin Li corrected.

"I didn’t mean it like that." Chen Yu Ying replied.

"Let’s go inside. But, class president, why were you late today? I thought you’d be here earlier." Lin Li laughed as he gently pushed Chen Yu Ying from behind, walking with her towards the library while chatting.

"I also like and need to sleep in; I can’t do what you do, getting up at four or five every day," Chen Yu Ying answered naturally.

"But last time, you came right after me; you weren’t this late," Lin Li questioned.

"It’s the same this time, isn’t it? Besides, I was almost earlier than you," But Chen Yu Ying argued logically.

Then, seemingly feeling it wasn’t enough, Chen Yu Ying pursed her lips and explained further:

"During the midterm exam that time, I rested on Sunday, so I could get up early on Saturday, but this weekend I had to come to the library both days to study, so of course, I wanted to rest well."

"So are you coming at this time tomorrow too?" Lin Li asked.

"After a good sleep today, I’ll see how it goes tomorrow; I might get up early," While waiting for the elevator, Chen Yu Ying looked down at her little leather shoes to check if they had brought in any water stains.

Of course, the situation to watch is "what time will you come tomorrow?"

You said last night that you’d go to driving school first this morning, so why should I come so early? Everyone’s sleeping; would I come to study all alone?

No way, studying or not, I’m still solidly in the top ten of my grade.

"I see, then maybe come earlier. Otherwise, I’ll be bored by myself tomorrow; the others are all lazy dogs," Lin Li suggested.

"Alright, then I’ll reluctantly get up early once," Chen Yu Ying decided to comply.

...

"Bai Bufan: I’m already here, why aren’t you? Still at the driving school?"

A message came through on the phone.

"Lin Li: On my way."

"Bai Bufan: Then bring me a Coke."

"Lin Li: Kidney stone?"

"Bai Bufan: Haven’t had a drink for a week, rewarding myself once isn’t too much, still drinking water for the rest of the day."

"Lin Li: Pepsi or Coke?"

"Bai Bufan: I’m definitely in the Coke camp, Pepsi is toilet cleaner!"

"Lin Li: Cold or room temp?"

"Bai Bufan: Cold."

"Lin Li: Bottle or can?"

"Bai Bufan: Either, can is best."

"Lin Li: Okay, not bringing."

"Bai Bufan: ?"

The door to the study room opened, and he just bumped into Bai Bufan, who was getting up to greet Lin Li in the hallway.

"Lin Li? You?" Bai Bufan froze.

Lin Li walked over with a smile and sat down next to Bai Bufan, "I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush. I didn’t bring it because I’m already here, couldn’t bring it."

"What? Ah?" Bai Bufan calmed down, but not completely. Somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Then just say you couldn’t bring it, why ask me so much?"

"When you’re bored and a dog comes by, don’t you want to tease it?"

Bai Bufan: "?"

"I happened to be in the elevator just now, bored, so when the dog came to me, I played along," Lin Li explained matter-of-factly.

"Lin Li."

"Hmm?"

"You’ll only ever be an outsider."

"Why?"

"Because wherever you go, you cross a province."
