Chapter 128: Wang Yuezhi Wins Every Battle, Such Is the True Man
The bus returned near the base, and we walked back.
As usual, after arriving, Chen Tianming dashed off alone, as if he had fallen into the Love River having held hands for 0.65 seconds.
Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei lay limp on the bed, unable to match Chen Tianming's excitement and energy.
Playing all day is actually quite tiring, wandering around everywhere.
"Bao Wei, why does it feel like something's poking my butt?" Lying on the bed with eyes closed, Bai Bufan frowned, sensing something amiss.
"It's the remote control." Zhou Baowei moved comfortably behind Bai Bufan, "I'm behind you, what's there to be afraid of."
"It's precisely because you are behi— huh? It really is the remote control." Bai Bufan sat up, holding the remote in disinterest.
"You're just sitting there disappointed in your dam, I'm going to shower first." Lin Li laughed and cursed.
The sweatiest part today was when going against the master Lei Dao, and now there's still some discomfort on him.
After showering, Bai Bufan was brushing his teeth.
"Lin Li, why do you think the water around the toothpaste gets repelled?" Bai Bufan questioned as he stared at the sink while brushing his teeth.
"Heard of surface tension?" Lin Li responded upon hearing him.
"Your second uncle?" Bai Bufan disdainfully turned his head towards Lin Li.
Having surfed the internet too much, it's hard to fool him, but this time he was met with Lin Li's sneer:
"Actually no, there's a component in toothpaste that reduces water tension, thinning the liquid film between the toothpaste and water, which gets pulled away by the surrounding water to form a repellent effect. Besides, volatile substances causing pressure also play a role, and then there are the components of foaming agents in toothpaste..."
Foam fell from his mouth as Bai Bufan stared blankly at Lin Li who was speaking eloquently.
Lin Li was rambling about something; he wasn't taking the opportunity to curse him, was he?
The Lin Li in front of him seemed both unfamiliar and disgusting to Bai Bufan.
"Oh right, ever heard of 'extending the horizon'?" As he wrapped up, Lin Li inquired.
"Never heard of it." Feeling as if he were attending a lecture, Bai Bufan shook his head, in a daze.
"Well, that's actually my second uncle."
"Damn!!"
The map of Yan Kingdom is so long, but even with all the surfing, I still fell for the trap!
However, one should not casually curse, especially with a mouth full of foam, Lin Li's face was now full of frustration.
"So you were just babbling nonsense earlier?" Bai Bufan asked after rinsing his mouth.
"No, everything before was true, I was curious before and looked it up, then remembered it." Lin Li shook his head.
"If you didn't understand, forget it, it's normal for dead wood not to be carved." Seeing Bai Bufan's confusion, Lin Li patted his shoulder, laughing.
So this is how it feels for a smart person to look down on a fool? How delightful.
Returning to the room, Zhou Baowei was also gone, probably having agreed with Bai Bufan to shower first, then went next door to play cards.
It's about time for me to... no, I can't!
I can't repeat yesterday's card-playing disaster.
Absolutely not.
Besides, [strong memory] can only accumulate three times at most, it would be wasted if not used, so Lin Li activated his ability and began studying on his phone.
Not long after, Bai Bufan came out after showering and saw Lin Li still in the dormitory frowning at his phone, he squinted his eyes sharply: "Lin Li, not studying again, are you? Why not go next door and hang out?"
"Not studying, don't feel like going out after showering, just watching some short videos for entertainment." Lin Li shook his head.
Bai Bufan immediately approached quickly, and after seeing Lin Li really watching entertainment-oriented short videos, he exhaled in relief.
Then, as Bai Bufan was about to put on pants to go next door, he paused at the doorway and suddenly came over to Lin Li's side.
Seeing Lin Li, still watching the same short video now, he asked coldly: "Why are you still watching this one?"
"Classics are meant to be revisited repeatedly, just like a good manga, would you only rush through it once?"
"Let me see your history."
Lin Li laughed.
Then shook his head:
"I have my privacy."
His right to privacy was violated as his phone was snatched by Bai Bufan, and immediately, the first thing discovered in the history was the "Compulsory Historical Points for Three Subjects" page.
"A brother feels heart-to-heart with you, yet you're playing mind games with him, Lin Li oh Lin Li, you even used a sleight of hand?" Bai Bufan's heart was truly pained at this moment.
"If I don't do this, how can I get into the top 100, or do you want to watch me call Wang Yuezhi 'dad'?" Lin Li questioned.
"Hmm."
Faced with Lin Li's rising emotions, Bai Bufan merely nodded calmly again:
"Go ahead."
Lin Li: "..."
"My dignity isn't that cheap!"
"Should I go over and call him for you in advance? Will you stop studying then?" Bai Bufan changed his strategy.
"... That won't do either."
"Lin Li, study at home, I can't control that, but when I'm playing, please don't study within a kilometer of me!" Bai Bufan sincerely pleaded.
For a student who got into Nansang, a top high school, not studying is almost unheard of, Bai Bufan's grades were similar to Lin Li's before, decent but not very diligent.
Ambitious, but not excessively so.
This kind, most would play for a class during night study, experiencing a strong sense of guilt at the end of the class.
But such guilt would greatly diminish upon realizing his buddies didn't study much either.
Reading a novel until the climax during half a class + looking up to find friends sleeping = contentedly continuing to read the novel.
Reading a novel until the climax during half a class + looking up to find friends studying seriously = guilt-ridden continuing to read the novel.
Since Lin Li got taken over last week, Bai Bufan doesn't need to turn his head under such circumstances now, as Lin Li is definitely studying.
