As a trendsetter at the forefront of fashion, Lin Li gave Bai Bufan some extremely valuable suggestions on his attire:

The pebbles in the bag were a good match for Bai Bufan's head in terms of style. Paired with a little fresh blood, Bai Bufan could become the god of fashion in the new era.

After listening to Lin Li's suggestion, Bai Bufan finally gave up on the idea of carrying pebbles in his bag.

The four of them walked up the mountain along the road. The slope was really not tiring to walk on.

Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan walked in front, while Lin Li and Bai Bufan followed behind.

Walking behind made it convenient for Lin Li to openly stare at the two girls' four legs.

Chen Yuying's legs were long, slender, and fair. As she walked, the light blue hem of her dress fluttered gently, outlining the smooth and soft lines. Her steps depicted liveliness and vitality, adding a bit of life to this road with every step.

Ding Sihan also had two legs.

When the gentle breeze blew, the girl's skirt danced with it—specifically referring to Chen Yuying.

Lin Li immediately covered Bai Bufan's eyes. As for the fact that Bai Bufan almost fell because of this, it was not important.

Just the right amount of bright white thighs, and not-so-good light-colored safety shorts.

No wonder Chen Yuying was so calm when the wind blew. He had thought he would have a chance to see the class president do Marilyn Monroe's classic pose.

But this was better. If there were no safety shorts, Lin Li would have been troubled instead.

"I almost f*cking fell to my death, Lin Li!" After stabilizing himself and struggling free from Lin Li's hand, if it weren't for the girls being present, Bai Bufan would have already started cursing Lin Li's virtual family tree.

"Then you're really careless," Lin Li replied perfunctorily, his eyes focused.

If it weren't for the crowd, Lin Li would have really kowtowed to the heavens, asking for the morning breeze to be even more fierce.

"Why does the stronger the wind, the more my heart sways~~" Lin Li's singing was filled with emotion.

Lin Li had an epiphany. When Su Yunying wrote "Wild Child," she must have also been peeking at other girls' legs. Tsk tsk, so that's the kind of person you are, Lao Su.

"Class President, I'm reporting him! Lin Li is peeking at your legs," Bai Bufan said loudly to the front.

"He's slandering me. I'm being open and honest," Lin Li naturally had to clear his name.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuying turned her head without stopping and met Lin Li's innocent gaze. Seeing that he was still singing about how the stronger the wind, the more his heart swayed, she glared at him.

She continued walking.

That was it.

Bai Bufan's eyes widened as he turned to look at Lin Li, "Why is there no reaction?"

"Didn't she glare at me? Isn't that a reaction?"

"That's a reward! How many f*cking times have you looked at the class president's legs for her to be so numb to it?"

Lin Li didn't answer, but instead showed the back of his hand to Bai Bufan and made a strange gesture.

It was like the rock and roll metal sign, but the ring finger and thumb were also extended—only the middle finger was pressed down.

"What does that mean?" Bai Bufan's reading comprehension failed.

"Never been 'middle-fingered', ever."

Bai Bufan: "..."

No wonder Chen Yuying couldn't even be bothered to say a few words to Lin Li.

She was numb to it.

"The class president is used to people like you. She has lost her sensitivity and vigilance towards perverts. This is not a good thing," Bai Bufan said with a pained heart.

"This world doesn't belong to the post-00s, nor does it belong to the post-10s. It belongs to us thick-skinned people!" Lin Li was proud, raising his hands high and 'shouting softly'.

"I can't argue with that. You're really something. At this age, you've already become the second-in-command in both the math and English worlds," Bai Bufan gave a thumbs-up from the bottom of his heart.

"Sigh—you brat, you're starting to get jealous of how outstanding I am in my studies... wait a minute, are you f*cking calling me a 2B?" Lin Li's tone was originally triumphant, but then it instantly turned into a rapid-fire declarative sentence as he pressed his forehead against Bai Bufan's.

The two girls in front were stunned for a moment when they heard the conversation behind them, and then they both laughed.

If Lin Li hadn't said it, they wouldn't have realized.

Second-in-command in both the math and English worlds, so combined it was 2B.

The boys were really more aggressive with each other. Ding Sihan exclaimed that she had learned something.

"Let's not worry about 2B for now. Bufan, emergency! Look quickly!" Catching a glimpse of key information, Lin Li suddenly lowered his voice and said.

"What?" Bai Bufan immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

"Look over there!"

"F*ck! Let's go, let's go, hurry over!" Bai Bufan also noticed, and so the two of them started jogging over.

Looking at the two boys who had suddenly appeared in front of her, Ding Sihan had a puzzled look on her face.

"What are they doing?"

"They probably saw a beautiful woman again."

Having experienced the boys' so-called emergency at the restaurant entrance last night, Chen Yuying said with some helplessness.

And at this moment, there was indeed a woman walking down the mountain from the front.

"I know they have this kind of behavior. Wang Ze often acts up like this. But this time they didn't even pay attention to that woman. Why did they climb straight up the mountain?" Ding Sihan denied.

Chen Yuying: "Huh?"

She followed Ding Sihan's gaze and looked at the two of them. She saw that Lin Li and Bai Bufan hadn't even glanced at the woman. They had already left the normal paved road for vehicles and were climbing on the rocks.

"Lin Li, what are you guys doing? Be careful," Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan walked up, and Chen Yuying spoke with some confusion and worry.

"Got it! Bufan, retreat!"

Lin Li and Bai Bufan finally came down from the rocks and came to Ding Sihan and Chen Yuying's side. Their clothes were stained with some dust from the friction, and the reward for their efforts was a wooden stick each.

Just for this?

Lin Li wiped the entire wooden stick with his index finger and shared with Chen Yuying, "Class President, look at my holy sword. Isn't it cool?"

Obviously, it was just for this.

Chen Yuying: "?"

"Your holy sword is not as long as mine! It's an inferior product!" Before Chen Yuying could answer, Bai Bufan beside her said with disdain.

"Bullshit, your broken wooden stick is not straight at all. That's the real inferior product! Straightness is the true essence!"

"A battle of words is meaningless. Let's duel!"

"Heh!"

"So what's the use of this?" Ding Sihan asked Chen Yuying's question.

"It can be used for dueling," Lin Li had already started fighting with Bai Bufan, Lin Li explained.

"...Childish. You two don't still go to the convenience store to buy plastic toy swords, do you?" Ding Sihan confirmed that was all and complained.

"No, no, no, you still don't understand. The artificially synthesized ones are worthless, but the naturally formed ones are enough to make our eyes go straight."

Lin Li twirled his sword in what he thought was a cool manner and explained with the air of a master.

Then his butt was sneak-attacked by this sword-wielding scoundrel, Bai Bufan.

A master really can't beat a petty person.

"If there's a boy who sees it and doesn't pick it up, he must have quit drugs," after stabbing back, Lin Li continued to explain.

"It's just that I'm older now. If I had picked this up before the age of ten, the wildflowers and weeds on both sides of the road home wouldn't have a single complete one left. They would all be dead by my hand!"

Actually, Lin Li had another small goal, which was to see if he could activate a system mission. After all, maybe the system would treat this as some kind of magic weapon.

But he had taken the initiative for once, and the system had made him lose so completely. Damn!

—There was no reaction at all.

"Is it more important than looking at legs?" Ding Sihan asked.

"First of all, are we looking at the class president's legs? Secondly, if it's not the class president's legs, then what is it? Is it straighter than a holy sword? Longer? Fairer..."

This was a very serious question, not one that could be answered on a whim. Lin Li immediately confirmed it cautiously.

As Lin Li asked, he became a little sentimental and sighed softly:

"Sigh, if I were before the age of ten, I probably wouldn't hesitate to answer this question. I would firmly stand on the side of the holy sword, right?"

"Growing up is really a sad thing..."

Ding Sihan: "..."

"Don't be sentimental about such a strange thing?! This is not a problem of growing up, it's your problem, right!"

...

In the end, there was no answer between the holy sword and the legs.

The four of them continued to walk, but compared to before, the sound of wooden sticks cutting through the air could occasionally be heard from behind Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan.

And they also believed what Lin Li said, because on the way up and down the mountain, few boys, young men, or men didn't glance at them from behind. One man in his early twenties even took the initiative to ask Lin Li where he had picked it up, saying he also wanted to pick one up.

One could only say that they couldn't understand the way boys thought.

"TGA is such a trash award," the wooden stick suddenly stopped, and Bai Bufan, who was looking at his phone, suddenly spoke. "It's so funny."

"What do you mean? How is it funny?" Lin Li turned his head curiously upon hearing this. He hadn't been paying attention to this.

"The annual award went to a little robot."

"Which little robot?" Lin Li was even more confused.

Bai Bufan nodded with gratification, "That's the punchline."

Lin Li thought for a moment, then understood, "Seer actually won an award without a sound. This kid is really hiding his talents."

Bai Bufan: "?"

Then Bai Bufan explained to Lin Li.

"CS2 has a high probability of being the shooter game of the year"

"Valorant is also possible"

"It won't be Delta Force, will it?"

"F*ck, Forbidden Manga Paradise!"

Lin Li really understood this time.

It was suspected to be even wilder than the history Bai Bufan had mastered.

"There's also a temple here," the two of them were making sharp comments when Lin Li noticed a fork in the road and saw the entrance to a temple at the end.

"Mhm, I heard it's quite famous and efficacious. I originally thought about whether to include it as part of the route, since it wouldn't take much time. But Teacher Xue said it involves feudal superstition, and the school-organized autumn trip should avoid such controversial places as much as possible, so it was removed," Chen Yuying explained.

"I remember there's a scenic platform here... look, it's right there. You can see a good view of Yunliu Mountain," Chen Yuying pointed to a platform with reinforced railings in the distance and introduced.

"What a big platform," Ding Sihan sighed after a glance.

Lin Li looked at the two of them for a few moments, then smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look. Since there's such a scenic platform, I want to take a few pictures."

"But we promised the teacher..." Chen Yuying hesitated upon hearing this.

Lin Li immediately interrupted, "This is not a scenic spot, and it only takes a few minutes to take a picture. Let's just say we were tired from walking and went over to rest for a few minutes. Doesn't that make it reasonable? Don't worry, if the sky falls, we'll just offer up Bai Bufan. It was all his idea."

Bai Bufan: "?"

Forget it, I won't argue with Lin Li.

Bai Bufan felt that his image in Xue Jian's mind should be a little better than Lin Li's. When he was offered up, Lin Li would already be unable to escape.

"Lin Li is right. Anyway, if we have to write a self-criticism, it'll be the two of them who write it. Yingbao, let's go take a couple of pictures. I even brought my Polaroid. It's a good opportunity to use it," Ding Sihan said with great interest.

"...Alright," Chen Yuying looked at the time on her phone, thought for a moment, and then nodded with a smile.

At this time, there weren't many people on the viewing platform.

"Lin Li, give me your phone," Chen Yuying extended her hand to Lin Li.

A beautiful dress rarely had even one pocket, so Chen Yuying's phone had been in Lin Li's bag all along. Perhaps this was one of the prices of being beautiful.

Lin Li opened Chen Yuying's bag and handed her the phone.

He glanced at it. There weren't many things: water, a mirror, lip gloss, headphones, a small power bank, a data cable, tissues, and a pack of sanitary pads.

However, she probably wasn't on her period, otherwise she wouldn't be dressed like this. It was probably something she kept in her bag for emergencies.

Chen Yuying seemed to realize belatedly that there were personal items in her bag, and a touch of shyness appeared on her face.

She took the phone.

The two of them took pictures of the scenery and themselves. Lin Li looked at the scenery and at them.

"Didn't you say you wanted to take pictures? Why haven't you taken a single one of yourself? You've been taking them all for them?"

Bai Bufan kicked Lin Li's butt with his knee from behind. Holding his phone, he asked curiously.

Lin Li hadn't taken many pictures at all.

"I'm not someone who posts on social media. Why would I be obsessed with photos? It's just that I could tell they wanted to take pictures, but felt it wasn't right to say so. Since that's the case, I'll be the one to suggest it and give them a way out," after confirming that the two of them weren't paying attention to him, Lin Li replied with a laugh.

Bai Bufan's eyes widened upon hearing this.

"Huh?"

"No, bro? You're that detailed?"

"If you f*cking used this level of detail in laning, wouldn't our win rate be ten percent higher?"

Lin Li: "..."

"If you weren't my support, my win rate would also be ten percent higher," Lin Li replied calmly.

The details were only 'I', not 'we'.

This was also part of the details.

Bai Bufan: "..."

"No, Lin Li, you're really starting to get behind me. You're that warm?" Bai Bufan winked at Lin Li, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and his tone became sarcastic, "Damn it, I give you so many looks and hints on a daily basis, how come I've never seen you understand my meaning?"

"I understood it, I just couldn't be bothered to pay attention to you," Lin Li replied calmly. "Just like how you actually want me to take a few pictures for you now, I saw that too, but I've been pretending not to see it."

Bai Bufan was stunned.

"You, you, you... f*ck!!"

After pointing at Lin Li for a long time and finding that he had nothing to say, Bai Bufan chose to express his feelings with a 'f*ck'.

So sincere. This ultimate skill hit Bai Bufan, and its attack power was extremely strong.

His defenses were broken, he was angry.

"Alright, alright, I'll take them for you," feeling Bai Bufan's sinister gaze, Lin Li took his phone with an amused laugh.

"Then it's not impossible to forgive you. Please! As long as you take pictures for me, Baowei will do anything," Bai Bufan immediately grinned, rubbing his hands together, and then asked, "Where should I stand to take the pictures?"

He had just observed the process of Lin Li taking pictures for Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan, so he had more confidence in Lin Li's skills.

Standing on the spot, Lin Li was very professional. He first analyzed the light and shadow and composition, and then began to direct:

"You step back a little, mhm, the light is better. You step back a little more, move a little to the left, yes, yes, yes.

You've hit the railing behind you, right? Flip over it with force, stand outside, then let go of your hands and fall backwards, yes, yes, yes, continue, hmm? Bufan, flip, hurry up, I'm waiting to take the picture."

Bai Bufan, with one foot raised halfway: "..."

You motherf*cker.
