The Most Random System

Because of this, Bai Bufan, overwhelmed by guilt, has been more diligent in class and during evening self-study these past two weeks than last semester.

Except for English class—English class is the one where Lin Li behaves most like a human.

No more sleeping in class or during evening self-study, damn it, with Lin Li's page flipping right next to him, who the hell could fall asleep?

Friends' game sounds, or even Bao Wei's tractor engine, are like lullabies, allowing Bai Bufan to sleep peacefully, but the soft rustle of page flipping is deafening, enough to keep him tossing and turning.

It's not just Bai Bufan, the guys in the back row are also affected by this contagious phenomenon and have been more studious recently.

Damn, it's a rat race now.

This internal competition was caused by a beast like Lin Li.

"Sorry, I'll start gaming now! timi!" Lin Li finally realized his mistake, took off his headphones, and turned his phone sideways.

Bai Bufan leaned over to check.

The suspended screen of "Must-Know History Points III" hadn't been closed.

"You've got wings now, I can't control you alone anymore." Bai Bufan said with a cold face, leaving the room without putting on his pants.

Lin Li's face changed dramatically, hurriedly putting on his pants to flee.

...

"Yongfei, close the door, what are they yelling about so late at night? That group really acts like lunatics, there's no need to bring them on an autumn outing, your decision and Chen Yu Ying's was truly a mistake."

Hearing the screams and pleas coming from the hallway, Wang Yuezhi, who was looking at "A Hundred Little Details to Make Girls Like You," felt annoyed.

Especially since those screams and pleas were from Lin Li, which made him even more annoyed.

Zhuo Yongfei closed the door without making any further comment.

After finishing the video, Wang Yuezhi remembered something and opened his social media feed.

"Wang Yuezhi: Everyone, please help me like this ↓⇓↓⇓↓."

He deleted the post.

This post was hidden from Chen Yu Ying.

That way, if she hears about it from other classmates, she'll be even more touched, right?

Haha, just the thought of it makes him emotional.

His phone suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up.

"Your starred friend 'Chen Yu Ying' has posted a new update in her moments, hurry and check it out."

He quickly and clumsily exited his personal page and refreshed his social media feed.

Chen Yu Ying posted a grid of dozens of photos—a few slots were completely occupied by single photos, while the rest opened up to long stitched-together images.

Wang Yuezhi had actually clicked on three dots, but hesitated over "like."

Because he saw that in the center of the grid was a big group photo of four people at an amusement park, with Lin Li's face in the front making a silly face.

Utterly hideous.

Kinda didn't want to like it now...

No, no, Chen Yu Ying would surely notice if he suddenly didn't like it this time since he was always the first to like her posts, she might worry and overthink, he couldn't let that happen to her.

It's Lin Li's fault, not a reason for him not to like it.

Got it now.

Like!

"ᰔChen Yu Ying, Zhuo Yongfei, Rainy Days"

He glanced angrily at Zhuo Yongfei beside him.

Is it you who made it impossible for me to be with Chen Yu Ying in the like area? Damn it!

Wang Yuezhi knew that Chen Yu Ying always showed him care by liking his posts first, so he strived hard to be the first.

"What's up?" Zhuo Yongfei, who was about to grab the air conditioner remote, was startled by the look.

"...Nothing."

Forget it.

He must've been checking social media too, no worries, not an enemy.

Then, Wang Yuezhi began appreciating each photo earnestly, because Chen Yu Ying's social media was only visible for three months and would disappear after that, he would save every nice portrait photo.

Upon seeing some photos with Lin Li, he was troubled again.

Forget it, better save them and mosaic out the unsightly bits later.

Wang Yuezhi suddenly chuckled.

He saw a photo of Chen Yu Ying with the clown toy he saw today in the background.

Maybe... when Chen Yu Ying sees this picture, she'll think of me too?

Wang Yuezhi smiled sweetly.

Isn't this mutual affection? He and Chen Yu Ying really do hit it off well, people who don't understand are in trouble.

He spent over ten minutes viewing the grid, then clicked the three dots again, chose to comment, typed, deleted, typed, deleted several large paragraphs, and finally entered two words: Looks great.

Yeah, succinct, funny without being ingratiating.

Send.

Afterwards, Wang Yuezhi was a little nervous and excited as he refreshed his social media, more tense than waiting for exam results.

Every time a "1" appears in his feed, it's a test.

WeChat, can't you disable the mutual friend like notification? It's so annoying!

Wang Yuezhi even waited for Lin Li's like and comment.

And that disgusting humanoid commented, "That guy is really handsome, class rep can you get his WeChat for me, thanks ❤❤"

Disgusting, isn't it?

Greasy, narcissistic weirdo.

Still no response, Wang Yuezhi felt restless, just tension left without excitement.

Fortunately, Chen Yu Ying hadn't responded to Lin Li either, so it seemed she hadn't seen the comments on her post.

"A notification"

Finally! It was a notification from Chen Yu Ying's profile picture.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yuezhi opened it:

"Thank you!"

Even more enthusiastic than previous responses! Maybe this is a sign of progress in their relationship!

Screenshot, save.

"Yeah—!!" Wang Yuezhi cheered excitedly.

Zhuo Yongfei was startled by Wang Yuezhi who suddenly clenched his fist to encourage himself, what's with this kid, jumping around like crazy, did he just succeed in an Olympic bid?

Wang Yuezhi calmed down, realizing he hadn't won completely yet.

He kept refreshing his feed, and after three whole minutes, watched Chen Yu Ying respond to comments one by one, finally confirming one thing—she hadn't responded to Lin Li's nasty comment!

Not only didn't she respond, but Ding Sihan, as her best friend, even cursed Lin Li as "disgustingly nauseating" in the comments section.

Definitely Wang Yuezhi's victory lap.

winwinwin!

Chen Yu Ying responded to Wang Yuezhi's message but not Lin Li's, that's a win.

Wang Yuezhi one, Lin Li zero, that's two wins.

Wang Yuezhi two, Lin Li zero, that's three wins.

"..."

Wang Yuezhi ninety-nine, Lin Li zero, that's a hundred wins.

A hundred victories, let alone a hundred wins? Unending victories, self-sustaining, infinite success.

What does Lin Li have to compare with me? Wang Yuezhi felt like the First Emperor touching a power line—winning big time.

...

"Chen Yu Ying: 'Business card sharing'"

"Chen Yu Ying: @Lin Li, hey, here's the handsome guy's WeChat you wanted."

"Lin Li: Thanks, class rep, but why can't I add him?"

"Chen Yu Ying: I don't know~ 😛"

"Lin Li: I understand, kings don't meet kings, two overly excellent people can only exist on their own timelines and cannot intersect, he and I are fated but not destined to meet, but I really envy you all for making such good friends."

"Chen Yu Ying: 'Little bear Thomas spinning kick'"

"Chen Yu Ying: Hmph."

"Ding Sihan: I often see dogs biting their tails and spinning around back home, so you can intersect too, try harder. @Lin Li"

"Lin Li: Ding Sihan, don't go too far, I've endured you for a long time."

"Ding Sihan: So what?"

"Lin Li: Adachi, friend, don't overdo it, my prowess is well-known, you know my methods the best."

"Ding Sihan: What methods do you have?"

"Lin Li: Hang myself at your doorway."

"Ding Sihan: 6"

"Qu Wanqiu: 'Likes' 'Likes' 'Likes' you really have a method."

"Ding Sihan: Go like both of our posts. @Lin Li."
