The Most Random System

Zhang Haoyang is settled, now only Chen Tianming is left.

Lin Li went back next door, the door was ajar.

Chen Tianming had already returned and was sitting at his place.

"Tianming!" Lin Li called out his name with deep affection from the doorway.

Chen Tianming looked over.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Lying on the top bunk, Bai Bufan hurriedly stopped Lin Li who was about to speak, jumped down from the bed, rummaged through his cabinet for a bag of chips, and then sat on Zhou Baowei's bed.

He tore open the package, took a chip, crunched it in his mouth, licked his fingers, and then nodded to Lin Li with satisfaction:

"I'm ready, go on."

"So why are you sitting on my bed to watch the show?" Zhou Baowei asked from his suddenly crowded half of the bed, sneaking a hand towards the chip bag.

"Crumbs falling on my bed would trouble me. Crunch. Crunch." Bai Bufan replied sincerely.

Zhou Baowei: "…So it doesn't trouble you if they fall on my bed? Get off!"

Lin Li ignored these two guys and walked straight over to sit next to Chen Tianming: "Tianming, courage is humanity's greatest anthem, don't choose cowardice..."

Before Lin Li could continue philosophizing, Chen Tianming waved his hand indicating no need to say more, "No need to say any more."

Oh no, this tone, this expression, is a tough nut to crack.

Damn, my hypnosis app might fail this time, its numbers are still too weak.

"I'll do it."

"Tianming, wouldn't you consider taking the exam... huh?" Lin Li, ready to make a final struggle, let out a puzzled sound after realising Chen Tianming's reply.

"What did you say?"

"I'll do it," Chen Tianming calmly repeated.

Lin Li hadn't spoken yet.

"Swish——"

Bai Bufan's reaction was even more excited than Lin Li's. He threw away his chips and crawled over in disbelief, squeezing himself between the two, and stared at Chen Tianming.

Behind him, Zhou Baowei also looked incredulously at his chip-laden bed, tearfully picking up and eating them. He felt like crying but then started to laugh while eating.

Bai Bufan wasn't concerned with the chips. He was genuinely hurt now, grabbing Chen Tianming's hands, and asked sternly, "Chen Tianming, what do you mean?"

"I've been sleeping with you for over half a year, and you treat me like this? Last time when you went to poop and forgot to bring paper, Bao Wei and the others just laughed at you; it was me who specially came down from the top bunk to give you paper!

Over the past half year, there were so many hopes between us, did you know?

But what about the result? How did I beg you yesterday, and how did you respond? You didn't give me a shred of hope, and now Lin Li comes along, and you agree immediately? He's just a boarding student, never even slept one night with you! And I lost to him?"

Bai Bufan's eyes were filled with such grievance and sadness that he seemed more like Kayako than Lin Daiyu.

So after preparing to watch Lin Li bribe or beg Chen Tianming, the performance ends up like this?

It's not about having less but about inequality, Bai Bufan was really hurt.

Lin Li then pushed Bai Bufan aside and patted Chen Tianming's shoulder in relief: "This decision is correct, fair, and incisive."

"Firstly, the paper you gave me back then was sandpaper, and it was only after I called you daddy twenty-seven times that you gave me normal tissue." Chen Tianming, not one to hold grudges, waved his hand again, "Secondly, the reasons for refusing you yesterday and agreeing to Lin Li today are definitely not what you think."

"Lin Li, you want to complete your master's orders and get the key to the chastity lock so you can stop peeing sitting down; that's fine, but you have to do me a favor." Chen Tianming said, looking at Lin Li.

Lin Li turned his cold gaze toward Bai Bufan, who guiltily avoided it.

Damn it.

It's obvious that Bai Bufan concocted another weird persona for me.

"What's the favor?" Lin Li asked, temporarily ignoring Bai Bufan.

Chen Tianming hesitated for a moment, taking several seconds before saying, "Help me get a WeChat or QQ ID."

"Swish——" Zhou Baowei, who had just finished eating and was shaking the bed to clear the chip crumbs, threw aside his blanket and crawled over, squatting next to Bai Bufan.

The four heads gathered together, including Lin Li, and three pairs of eyes all locked onto Chen Tianming.

"Hey, where are my chips?" Realizing there was another gossip to listen to, Bai Bufan only then remembered he was out of snacks.

"I'll give it to you later in the bathroom, be quiet and let Tianming continue." Zhou Baowei remained focused, pressing his hand precisely over Bai Bufan's mouth, indicating Chen Tianming to continue.

"Explain," Lin Li also looked curious and ready for gossip, "Whose ID do you want? Someone from another class? Are they at our school? Do you want a tough guy or a softie?"

"Of course, I want a girl's! She's from our school, also a first-year in Class 17, her name should be Yao Qiaoqiao." Even though they were all buddies, the situation made Chen Tianming a bit embarrassed, who sheepishly said.

The three exchanged glances, it was a name they'd never heard before.

"Do you like her?"

"I have a bit of a crush, not sure if it's like..." Chen Tianming turned his head, waving his hand shyly.

With a tone that shy, and he's saying he's not sure if he likes her.

Tsk, men.

"How did you notice her?" Lin Li continued to ask.

Nansang High School had clubs, but they were practically for show. Only freshmen and sophomores could join, with only one club activity period per week, often taken over by other activities, and most people didn't bother joining these pointless clubs, opting to self-study during activity times instead.

So meeting people outside class, unless you're an athlete like Wang Ze, was quite difficult.

Oh, the freshman QQ group was also an avenue, but after Lin Li saw someone asking if the school store accepted Bitcoin as payment, he left the group.

"Their class had PE at the same time as ours, last winter term during the fitness test, she helped pass me my watch and stuff, so I noticed her then..." Chen Tianming recounted bashfully.

"This term, every time we run exercises, I've been looking for her, recently seeing Lin Li making such great progress, already getting tasks from his master, I've been feeling restless too..."

"You damn masochist, stop using me as an excuse!" Lin Li sighed deeply.

"Oh——so you knew I wouldn't be able to help you with this, that's why you didn't agree to me yesterday?" Bai Bufan also realized that Chen Tianming's request was indeed something he couldn't manage in any case.

"Yeah."

Chen Tianming didn't explain more, not because he didn't want to, but because there simply wasn't more to say; they hadn't even exchanged contact info yet, what else was there to say?

"Won't you ask for it yourself? Wouldn't it be better if you did? What if your goddess thinks it's me who likes her and falls for me then?" After understanding the background, Lin Li scratched his head, smugly speaking.

"At first, I wanted Baowei to help me ask, but I'm afraid he's too ugly and would scare her away from giving her contact info. Plus, his cowardice is only slightly better than that of the pure waste Bufan. I don't want too many people to know about this, and since it's convenient that you have a favor to ask me, with your skin growing thicker lately and your looks matching mine seven-tenths, you're the best candidate."

Lin Li, Bai Bufan, Zhou Baowei: "?"

He's managed to insult everyone present in one sentence?
