The Most Random System

"Whose playlist is this, so tasteful." Lin Li nodded approvingly as he listened to the music playing beside him.

"Of course!" Qu Wanqiu responded.

Lin Li took a sip of water to moisten his throat, then began to sing loudly along with the song.

Chen Yu Ying found it unexpectedly pleasant.

"Could we turn off the original singer? He's so annoying." After singing a line, Lin Li complained disdainfully.

Chen Yu Ying found his shamelessness rather expected.

"You want to sing? I'll play the accompaniment for you." Qu Wanqiu was quite interested after hearing this and nodded immediately.

"Might as well include mine," Lin Li said bluntly, becoming greedy.

Noticing Lin Li was about to sing, Bai Bufan, Wang Ze, and others hurried over, spontaneously sitting or standing around Lin Li.

"Oh oh! Brother Lin Li! Ohni-chan! I'm crazy about you! Crazy for you! Banging my head against the wall for you!" Bai Bufan instantly became a fan, albeit a slightly dim-witted one.

Wang Ze and the others joined in the clamoring, each making sounds reminiscent of gorillas.

Keeping the beat, Lin Li swayed gently, and as the notes fell, he began to sing:

"Now, the orioles fly and the grass grows~ My beloved is on the road~"

"I know he perseveres through storms~ Passing twilight without pausing~"

Bai Bufan gradually became somber and serious.

As comrades who had sung together in numerous morning read-alongs, Bai Bufan was well aware of Lin Li's singing skills: good, but definitely not this good.

Had he practiced secretly? Attended other morning read-along sessions in secret?

You sneaky little thing.

Noticing Bai Bufan's gaze and his fly-eating-like expression, Lin Li felt secretly delighted.

The system had never been more useful.

Bai Bufan seemed to be the biggest victim of his acquisition of the system.

After finishing "The World's Beauty Is Inextricably Linked With You," all the boys and girls applauded Lin Li.

But as Lin Li operated his phone, the accompaniment music continued almost without stopping; this time, more people instantly recognized the song as "Old Boy."

"My day-night yearning deeply loving person——"

Lin Li first sang half of it himself, then at the start of the second half, he suddenly swung his wooden stick, pointing at Bai Bufan.

"Me? What should I do to express it, will she accept me~"

Bai Bufan didn't react immediately, but he quickly got into the rhythm, singing the second line.

Bai Bufan's singing was also quite good.

The two took turns singing, the surrounding young boys and girls swaying gently to the rhythm.

"Dreams are always out of reach——" Lin Li swung the wooden stick in a circle, pointing at Wang Ze and the others.

"Should I!! Give up!" Wang Ze and the others shouted loudly.

With so many people, the voices varied in pitch, and with Wang Ze's being the loudest, a line went all over the place, sounding very chaotic and unpleasant.

You could tell they hadn't put much effort into morning reads.

But Lin Li gave Wang Ze and the others a thumbs-up.

"Flowers bloom and fall, yet another season——" This time, Lin Li's wooden stick, like a conductor's baton, swung sharply toward the girls under the shade.

Chen Yu Ying didn't remember "Old Boy" very clearly, slightly opening her mouth hesitantly, but beside her, Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu had already started singing.

"Spring, where are you!"

"Awesome! Much better than me!" During a short interlude, Wang Ze stood up applauding.

"If you praise them like that, they won't be happy..." Lin Li said disdainfully, "Just like me saying you're more handsome than Bai Bufan, would you be happy, Wang Ze?"

"Heck! Indeed not! What a dirty example you've set." Wang Ze's most understanding moment.

"Lin Li, your mom——"

"Zhou Baowei!" Lin Li suddenly shouted loudly toward the BBQ area.

"Huh?" Zhou Baowei, still grilling skewers, turned his head.

Lin Li took a deep breath, waiting for the music's rhythm, then——

"Youth is like a rushing river! Catch it!"

Forcing the effort, this line cracked a bit.

"Gone! Forever! Not! Coming! Back! Too! Late! To! Say! Goodbye!" But even with Lin Li's cracked voice, compared to the power of Zhou Baowei's was still too weak.

Other than for defecating, what Zhou Baowei ate did have some other uses after all.

But though it had power, it was explosively unpleasant, and he didn't seem to have finished chewing what was in his mouth.

"Good!" But the crowd still burst into enthusiastic applause after he roared, and Zhou Baowei waved the barbecue skewer to acknowledge his fans.

Everyone laughed.

"Let's do it together next!" Conductor Lin Li ordered again.

"Look at the fluttering blossoms in the sky, withering in their most beautiful moment..."

Finding the lyrics on her phone, Chen Yu Ying swayed with the surrounding voices, singing softly along.

...

Xue Jian listened to his class's students singing from afar, with a gentle smile on his face that Lin Li had never seen before.

A song lamenting the passing of youth, yet they sang it with such vibrant enthusiasm.

Well, that's just it.

They are indeed living their youth.

...

After "Old Boy," Lin Li switched to another song, this time to the even more familiar Phoenix Legend.

He straightforwardly divided the interested attendees into male and female voice sections, standing in the center pointing around (literally).

Perhaps knowing some without the original vocals would be embarrassed to sing, Lin Li would always pitch in at the right times to guide.

The atmosphere on the lawn was gradually heating up.

Even the shyest Yu Yu, Chen Yu Ying could hear her singing along with everyone else.

And the dorm member who loved singing the most, Wen Shuyang, even volunteered to let Lin Li play a few songs for her to lead.

Occasionally glancing at the lyrics on her phone, sometimes looking at Lin Li shining under the sun, Chen Yu Ying occasionally spotted a few drops of youthful vigor in his sweat falling.

Lin Li, bathed in the breeze, with a carefree demeanor, kept waving the baton in his hand, full of youthful spirit.

...

A new intro started playing.

A slightly dazed Chen Yu Ying snapped back to reality, suddenly realizing it was the intro to Su Yunying's "Wild Child."

And the first line of the song is...

Chen Yu Ying raised her head, and Lin Li also turned to look at her, the baton connecting their gazes.

"The stronger the wind, the more at ease my heart——"

The heaven and earth seemed to respond to Lin Li's will, the baton in his hand transformed into Harry Potter's wand.

It became windy.

A sudden gust of wind blew across everyone present, lifting the edges of picnic mats, blowing away someone's hat, bringing someone's exclamation.

Chen Yu Ying pressed down her skirt with both hands, to keep it from flying up.

As a result, her waterfall-like hair was untethered, swaying freely in the wind.

Many strands of hair covered her face.

But Chen Yu Ying, through the gaps in them, could still catch glimpses of Lin Li's radiant smile.

Could Lin Li see her smile through them as well?

The wind kept picking up.

"The stronger the wind, the more at ease my heart——"

...

The stronger the wind, the more at ease my heart?
