Chapter 72: You're Already Impressive, What More Do You Want_2
Under the watchful eyes of Chen Tianming, Bai Bufan, and Lin Li, they found themselves on an unfamiliar floor.
The hallway was sparsely populated with familiar faces.
The four stood out, tall for first-year high schoolers, combined with a somewhat sneaky aura that caught people's attention.
"They're all looking at us. Do you think in their eyes we're like F4 from 'Meteor Garden'? If so, I want to be Douming Temple!" Zhou Baowei whispered.
When both Lin Li and Bai Bufan turned their gaze toward him, Zhou Baowei immediately raised his hands in surrender, "Sorry, pretend I didn't say anything. Please don't scold me, you two."
He sure knew when to back down.
"Wait, I——" After walking a few steps, Lin Li turned to share his plan with the three, only to see them synchronized to a halt a few meters away at the corridor corner, as if some barrier prevented them from proceeding further.
"Good luck."
Chen Tianming, both nervous and excited, cheered Lin Li on.
It was obvious that the three planned to offer every support except actually acting.
Perhaps they were playing it too safe.
F4 indeed, more like three F5s.
"You three stand here and don't move, I'll go buy an orange for you. Seriously, don't move! I need your goddess to see you from afar later, it'll show more sincerity." Lin Li said resignedly. After Chen Tianming nodded, Lin Li dashed toward the battlefield.
"Hello, are you from Class 17?" Lin Li grabbed a girl coming out of Class 17, and before she could answer, he followed up, "Can you help me call out Yao Qiaoqiao? I have something to discuss with her."
Lin Li didn't ask a boy because boys would usually stand at the door and shout, drawing the entire class's attention to both Yao Qiaoqiao and himself.
Lin Li himself didn't mind, his system hadn't had time to enhance his tolerance for embarrassment yet, but system or no system, it greatly influences one's mindset, so it didn't matter. Lin Li mostly worried it might trouble Yao Qiaoqiao.
Typically, in such situations, a girl would quietly return to the class to inform Yao Qiaoqiao, allowing her to sneak out quietly, which would be better for both parties.
He considered himself a meticulously thoughtful soul——
"Yao Qiaoqiao! Someone's looking for you! He!"
Her voice was louder than Bai Bufan's, bursting out and making Lin Li's eardrums ache.
Now everyone in the class and the hallway was looking at Lin Li, and it wasn't just the students from Class 17.
Lin Li: "..."
Poor judgment, how could he make assumptions about Class 17 based on Class 1's precedent?
Who would've thought this petite girl would harbor such a booming force.
After yelling, she headed toward the bathroom, leaving Lin Li standing like he was on a bed of nails.
He could faintly feel, a little enmity from the boys in the hallway.
"Is it Yao Tongxue?"
Since Chen Tianming had described Yao Qiaoqiao's general appearance to Lin Li, when a short-haired girl walked towards him somewhat confusedly, he softly inquired.
That someone Chen Tianming liked at first sight without knowing her, she naturally had to be quite attractive.
They say inner beauty is essential, but without outer beauty, who the heck cares about what's inside.
Yao Qiaoqiao nodded, "What do you need?"
"Standing by the door blocks others, not ideal. How about chatting in the hallway over there?" Lin Li spoke earnestly.
The stares from the boys in the hallway were starting to feel more dangerous and heated.
"Hm? Sure." Yao Qiaoqiao tilted her head slightly then nodded.
"Actually, I have a friend who wants your contact info. Could you give me a QQ or WeChat?"
After distancing themselves from the class, Lin Li cut to the chase and pulled out a pen and paper from his pocket.
Upon hearing this, Yao Qiaoqiao paused and eyed Lin Li more closely, curiously asking:
"Your friend..."
It was clear that Yao Qiaoqiao was a straightforward girl. In such a situation, most boys or girls would already be shy and awkward.
Lin Li remembered his own first experience of being asked for a QQ number. When he returned to the classroom, stoked by classmates' teasing, his face was burning red, and his ears were blood-red, stunned for a long while, mind blanking out.
But to be honest, it did feel pretty awesome.
Even when Bai Bufan and the others teased him about it, he pretended not to want to talk about it, but secretly, he was over the moon.
This is the sweet taste of youthful innocence.
"This time, the friend isn't me." Lin Li shook his head with a smile, pointing toward the stairway corner, "My friend was afraid he'd get too nervous to speak upon seeing you, so he asked me to get it for him. He's right over there—"
Where'd he go?
Both Lin Li and Yao Qiaoqiao looked in the direction he pointed to, but there was nobody there anymore.
Yao Qiaoqiao's expression seemed a little odd.
"My friend has likely perished." Lin Li joked.
If he hadn't, he probably should now.
Damn those three idiots, especially you, Chen Tianming.
I told him to stand still and not move.
"It's okay, I trust you."
Yao Qiaoqiao smiled gently, then asked, "Is your friend good-looking?"
"Way better looking than me, just a little shorter, very gentle, and has an athlete's physique." At a time like this, Lin Li wouldn't badmouth Chen Tianming, so he showered him with praise.
"Better looking than you, well then, sure I'll give my contact information. Hope you're not lying to me." Yao Qiaoqiao's tone was slightly surprised, then she smiled in delight, took the paper and pen from Lin Li, and wrote down a string of numbers. She then smiled at Lin Li and said:
