The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 383 Why did Wang Ze keep his history of being a beggar?

The intertwined knuckles seemed to be working with extra force, as if trying to imprint each other's warmth and presence.

Lin Li's fingers, with their distinct knuckles, gently wrapped around another, more slender and fair hand, which obediently nestled within them, its fingertips slightly curled, silently revealing its dependence and nervousness.

In the dim light of the watch, you could even see the edges of Chen Yuying's neatly trimmed nails, which had a soft pink hue.

"I ah—!"

When she realized what she had seen, Ding Sihan instinctively wanted to call out "Auntie!" But a fraction of a second before she completely lost control of her voice, she suddenly covered her mouth tightly with her hand, forcing the sound to be muffled deep in her throat, turning it into a muffled whimper.

After swallowing her words, Ding Sihan let go, clicking her tongue twice in the darkness.

Lin Li moved so fast!
The people in the back row just disappeared amidst the blaring alarms, but they've already slipped away to Chen Yuying's side in the blink of an eye?
Ding Sihan's face quickly showed a complex expression that combined the satisfied smile of "the shipper has finally found his ship" with the bittersweet feeling of "damn, your happiness is hurting my sensitive, insecure and fragile self."

The darkness concealed her contorted yet fascinating expression, which was perhaps fortunate.

Chen Yuying lowered her head slightly. Her "secret" had been discovered, and her cheeks burned intensely. She could feel tiny sparks crackling under her skin.

She was genuinely startled when a dark figure suddenly crept up to her side and a warm hand unexpectedly, tentatively, and somewhat recklessly patted the outside of her thigh.

Chen Yuying breathed a sigh of relief after that extremely soft, youthful "Pusspus" sound brushed past her ear like a feather.

The taut nerves were soothed by a gentle hand, and the immense shock and panic receded like the tide.

It's good that it's him; it doesn't matter if it's him.

Before Chen Yuying could recover from her turbulent emotions, and before she could ask him what he wanted to do, the hand that had just been touching and rubbing her thigh quietly climbed up, precisely capturing her arm lying flat on the table, and pulled it down, so that her right hand hung down at her side.

The next second, their fingers intertwined, and the familiar warmth and large palm completely enveloped their hands.

The close fit was like two long-lost magnets finding their perfect home in the darkness.

Lin Li's index finger was still tapping gently on the smooth back of her hand, extremely slowly and with extreme restraint.

When she realized that she was already holding hands with Lin Li, a sweet and tingling sensation spread through the depths of Chen Yuying's soul.

Then, Chen Yuying rationally said, "This is not good, it's dangerous and inappropriate, people around will definitely notice, let go."

But Chen Yuying said emotionally, "Well, so you call yourself rational? If you really have nothing better to do, go solve some competition problems. This has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business and stop talking nonsense here. Isn't it annoying?"
Emotion certainly won, but it only won by adding icing on the cake.

Because darkness seemed to grant Chen Yuying unparalleled courage and amplify every bit of sensory pleasure, before her emotions could overpower her reason, and before her mind could issue any instructions, her hand instinctively and more forcefully gripped back.

Her slender fingers no longer merely meekly interlocked, but gripped Lin Li's hand tightly with the same fervent force, as if trying to hold firmly in her grasp the warmth of his palm, along with this dizzying, enchanting sensation stolen from the darkness.

Lin Li got a good time.

Looking at Ding Sihan covering her mouth, and regardless of whether Ding Sihan could see clearly in the dark, Lin Li raised his eyebrows, his face full of pride and smugness.

Perhaps it's because even though you can't see the face clearly, you can still sense the scumbag attitude—

Ding Sihan: "Treat me to breakfast, or I'll tell the teacher."

Lin Li: "?"

Holy crap, Ding Sihan, are you a primary school student?

Chen Yuying's free left hand gently tugged at the cuff of Latin Sihan's coat. Her voice was barely audible in the noisy classroom: "I'll ask you..."

Lin Li: QAQ.

“Baby, I’m not threatening you, I’m threatening Lin Li.” Chen Yuying’s adorable reaction made Ding Sihan’s “satisfied smile” instantly overshadow her “want to die”, so her reply was tinged with laughter.

"Anyone who threatens me," he sneered, then immediately became obsequious, "I will kneel down immediately, Sister Ding, please."

Wei Junjie, a service provider, and Lin Li both understood the importance of forbearance.

Of course, while outwardly flattering, Lin Li had already cast a vicious curse in his heart, determined to make Ding Sihan pay a bloody price within a month.

Lin Li felt that his curse would come true. Firstly, he was a cultivator and possessed supernatural powers. Secondly, Ding Zi shouldn't have gone through menopause at sixteen; she would still bleed when the time came.

—Evil Dingding, I'm going to make sarcastic remarks, drink ice water, eat popsicles, take cold showers, and do strenuous exercise in front of you! I'll drive you crazy!
Speaking of menopause, Lin Li has always believed that "Little Horse Driving a Big Cart" is a very scary work, and its target audience should be women.

Imagine this: you're in your twenties, and your neighbor, a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, comes over for a chat, sits down on the sofa, and suddenly grabs your leg. You dodge, and she laughs.
"Why are you hiding? Your first time was taught by this old lady. When you were little, you would beg this old lady to make you feel good behind your mother's back every day. Now that you're grown up, you don't recognize me anymore? This old lady has gone through menopause and doesn't need to use protection anymore. Child, we..."

Holy crap, isn't that terrifying?
So for the safety of older women, please refuse to use the "small horse, big cart" XP system!

"Baby, your hands are so white and soft." Ding Sihan's voice pulled Lin Li back to reality.

Looking at the silhouette of Chen Yuying's other hand being held in the darkness, and Lin Li, whose lines were stolen, realized that the winds of monogamy had finally blown over Chen Yuying.

But Lin Li doesn't have time to worry about Ding Sihan NTRing him right now; he has more important things to deal with.

"Wang Ze! Wang Ze!" Lin Li called out softly towards the location where Wang Ze was.

Upon hearing this eerie voice, Wang Ze suddenly clutched his buttocks; the two sharp points were like swords, and his eyes shone brightly, faster than lightning.
To put it bluntly, Wang Ze is a bit like Lord Ye who professed to love dragons but was terrified of them; if you really put your big drum into it, this guy won't be happy.

Wang Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Li in the aisle between Groups 1 and 2, but not yet close to him. He then peeked out and asked, "Lin Li, what are you doing? Why are you crouching over there? Who are you trying to ambush?"

Lin Li: "Pearl Harbor."

"Do you think I haven't studied history?" Wang Ze laughed and scolded, pushing up his non-existent glasses with the same confidence as Conan: "There's only one truth: it wasn't you who attacked Pearl Harbor, it was the bomb!"

Lin Li gave a thumbs-up, expressing high recognition of Wang Ze's extensive knowledge as a poop expert, and then, true to his original aspiration, waved to Wang Ze:

"Leave the bombs in the Middle East for now. Wang Ze, come here first."

However, after confirming that Lin Li's target was indeed him, Wang Ze decisively took a step back and retreated to the podium: "You tell me what you want first."

"You come here first."

But Wang Ze only took another step back, becoming even more resolute: "No, Lin Li, you tell me your purpose first!"

"You still owe me a debt of gratitude that you can never repay in your lifetime, so get over here right now." Lin Li's voice turned slightly colder.

Back then, Wang Ze tricked Wang Yuezhi into running 3,000 meters, so theoretically, Wang Ze owes Lin Li twenty favors.

Wang Ze reluctantly walked over, squatted down next to Lin Li, and asked in a low voice, "General Lin, what are your orders? Cultural workers should be cultured?"

"I don't have any instructions. You don't need to do anything. You just need to stay next to me and whisper to me. If I squat, you squat; if I stand, you stand," Lin Li explained.

"Huh? Why?" Wang Ze was puzzled. He still felt that this was more like a delaying tactic by Lin Li before he tried to take action against him.

Lin Li chuckled, not answering directly, but instead tilting his head to the left, gesturing for Wang Ze to look this way.

Upon seeing this, Wang Ze leaned closer and then realized that it was actually two hands.

Before he could even process what was going on with those two hands, Wang Ze, wondering what was so interesting about them, instinctively reached out to touch them and see what secrets they held.

Then Lin Li slapped his hand away instantly: "It's your girlfriend's hand, why are you touching it!"

Wang Ze was stunned for a moment before he noticed that these were not Lin Li's two hands. He looked up slightly and realized that Chen Yuying was sitting next to him.

Chen Yuying wasn't looking this way; she was talking quietly with Ding Sihan.

Worri?

"No? Lin Li, you motherfucker!" Coming to his senses and realizing what was happening, Wang Ze laughed angrily, lowering his voice to a level only the two of them could hear:

"Lin Li, I'm from Nantong, I'm gay, I'm a sports student, but I'm definitely not a dog. Can you please respect my public image?"

I'd rather you were stuffing your own milk into my mouth right now than give me this bowl of dog food!

So Lin Li, that beast, called me over just to show off?

That's worse than not saying thank you at all, damn it!

In Wang Ze's worldview, a scholar can be treacherous, but he cannot be humiliated!

But then, Wang Ze paused, rubbed his chin, and began to think.

He straightened up and looked out the window towards the opposite teaching building: Was it feasible for him to run directly to the second-year high school building to find Qian Ying?

Lin Li reminded himself that he could also feed other people's cattle... cattle feed, you know.

"You wouldn't eat it even if I actually took it out," Lin Li scoffed.

"You wouldn't take it out if I really asked you to," Wang Ze sneered.

"If I really take my pants off, you'll run away again," Lin Li sneered.

"If I really get close, you'll dodge again," Wang Ze sneered.

Friends are like snowflakes; if you pee on one, it disappears.

But there's a special case: if he comes up here, you should disappear.

Unless you accept being forcibly switched from Iced Tea Mode to Yogurt Mode. Instead of continuing the magical exchange, Lin Li offered an explanation: "It's not that boring. I didn't bring you here to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), I just brought you here to cover for me."

"Coverage? What coverage?"

"Of course, it's to cover up my holding hands. That way, if others see me, they'll think I'm squatting here to pick up your lost glasses, not to hold hands."

People who frequently have affairs late at night know that a normal person's eyes adapt to darkness very quickly. Usually, it is pitch black only right after the lights are turned off, but after a minute or two, without any new light source, you can see the outlines clearly.

Moreover, now that the curtains on both sides have been drawn open, the moonlight is shining in, making everyone's view even clearer.

At this time, Lin Li was still squatting alone in the aisle next to Chen Yuying, which seemed very suspicious to everyone in the class, especially the girls in the front row.

If a lot of people notice and egg her on, given Chen Yuying's thick skin, she will definitely feel embarrassed and pull her hand away.

This is not what Lin Li wants.

What if I get caught today and then don't want to do anything slightly exciting anymore?
They were already holding hands in the classroom today. As long as they didn't get caught, what could they possibly do in the classroom the next day? Lin Li was bold; he dared to think about anything!

Now, with Lin Li and Wang Ze squatting together in the aisle, they simply appear to be sick in the eyes of everyone in the class, especially the girls in the front row.

As for being sick, in Class 4, it's considered not being sick, so there's no need to worry about it.

Wang Ze raised an eyebrow; he understood what Lin Li meant.

"Alright," Wang Ze nodded. "But you'll have to come with me to the second-year high school building later. I need you to cover for me."

“Wang Ze, you have done me no favors, so you have no right to make demands.” But Lin Li was cold and unsympathetic.

“But we have family ties, Dad, what do you say?”

"I agreed."

"Hey Lin Li, if you and the class monitor have a falling out, how do you make up with him..." Since he had nothing better to do, Wang Ze lowered his voice and decided to have a conversation about love with Lin Li, who also had a girlfriend.

Lin Li: "I've never been difficult."

Wang Ze: "No differing opinions?"

Lin Li: "Yes, last weekend I went to her apartment building. I didn't want her to come down to see me, but she insisted. What could I do? I gave in."

Wang Ze: "When you go out, do you usually pay or split the bill?"

Lin Li: "She paid."

Wang Ze took a deep breath.

Grooved.

Wang Ze, Wang Ze, if you're going to have a free mouth, you can help others, but don't get yourself into trouble and start chatting with this damn groundhog Lin Li!
The microphones were so loud that Wang Ze felt like he was dying.

Shut up!

……

As time passed, there was still no sign of a spark, and the boys gradually became unwilling to stay still in their seats.

"Why hasn't a single teacher come yet?"

As Bai Bufan walked to the back door and peered out, he noticed Lin Li and Wang Ze in the aisle when he looked back at the classroom entrance.

"Lin Li, what are you doing squatting in the corridor with Wang Ze? You wouldn't be touching the class monitor's hand in the dark, would you?" Bai Bufan shouted with a laugh.

After Lin Li and Chen Yuying got together, although they didn't go public, they didn't hide it either. Two weeks later, almost everyone in the class knew about it; it was no longer something that needed to be kept secret.

So when they heard this, the students in the class didn't react much. At most, they looked over curiously, but because it was too dark and they couldn't see clearly, they didn't pay much attention.

Except for Wang Yuezhi.

What?! When did Lin Li get his hands on that side?!

Dating is dating, but who gave you permission to hold hands? This is a serious overstepping of boundaries; people should only hold hands after marriage!
If they're already holding hands after just starting to date, what will happen when they get married? They'll be kissing, right?

Besides, it's still dark outside and everyone is blind.

Holding hands at a time like this is utterly improper! It's a complete breakdown of social order!

Wang Yuezhi immediately looked towards Chen Yuying's location, and then saw Lin Li and Wang Ze's heads peeking out from the aisle next to them.

It's not clear.

God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Wang Yuezhi said, "Let there be light," so he ran to the blackboard, picked up the desk lamp that Zou Weilun had left charging in the classroom, and then turned it on towards where Lin Li was.

King Prometheus!

When the light reappeared in the classroom, Wang Yuezhi's pupils contracted!
He saw the two hands clasped together!
Lin Li and Wang Ze's!!
The students in the class also subconsciously looked in the direction illuminated by the light.

Under the light, Lin Li and Wang Ze, who had been squatting, slowly stood up. Their right hands were tightly clasped together, their fingers interlocked, while their left hands were lightly clasped behind each other's backs. Their eyes were both on Bai Bufan at the back door.

Lin Li's eyes were gentle: "Stand on your tiptoes~ lift the hem of your skirt~ let my hand gently rest on your shoulder~"

Wang Ze, struggling to suppress his laughter, said, "Graceful dance steps~ Shallow breaths~ How sweet is the waltz of love~"

Lin Li and Wang Ze: "Step by step I get closer to you~ Circle by circle I touch my heart~ Like a shooting star dancing in the night sky..."

The two sang "The Waltz of Love" under the spotlight, occasionally glancing at each other with tender affection. To the rhythm of the music, they awkwardly waltzed their way to the back of the row along the aisle between the first and second groups.

The whole class: "(；☉_☉)?"

Anyone shipping 2020 and this year? — 20 was incredibly positive, this year is incredibly negative.

What are these two doing with their medicine?
Ding Sihan, who had seen through everything, was already laughing hysterically as she watched the two of them dance their way out.

Chen Yuying lowered her head, and although she was chuckling, a closer look would reveal a slight blush on her ears.

"What are you two doing?" Bai Bufan asked with a surprised look as Lin Li and Wang Ze approached and looked at the two who were still waltzing.

The two separated their intertwined fingers, and instead of answering, they continued dancing and moved closer to Bai Bufan.

"Hold me tighter step by step~" Lin Li sang as he grabbed Bai Bufan by the back of his neck.

"The more I go, the more certain I become~" Wang Ze sang as he grabbed Bai Bufan by the front half of his neck.

"I'll keep spinning with you~" the two sang together, while pulling Bai Bufan by the neck and leading him into the corridor.

Bai Bufan, unable to breathe: "?"

How did I achieve perfect unity of mind and intention?
You two can pilot the mechs in the ring morgue.

After leaving the classroom, Wang Ze's expression changed instantly. He used the "Seven-Day Lock of Unbreakable Bond" to firmly bind Bai Bufan.

Lin Li revealed a smile colder than the moonlight, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

"Wait, wait! What are you doing?" Bai Bufan, who was unable to move, sensed the danger and asked with wide eyes.

"I'll kill you." Lin Li smiled.

Seeing that Bai Bufan still wanted to question why and looked very unconvinced, Wang Ze looked pitiful.

He whispered with a sigh, "Bu Fan, Lin Li really was holding hands with the class monitor just now."

"Besides, we could have held it for much longer."

"Guess why I said 'originally'?"

Just now, after Bai Bufan's voice came from the back door, Chen Yuying quickly pulled her hand back.

Lin Li had no choice but to retreat and retreat again before finally taking Wang Ze's hand.

Then Wang Yuezhi's lights shone on the two of them, and they took the opportunity to leave.

"..."

Bai Bufan blinked, swallowing back all his questions.

Wow, I can picture it now.

Ok.

After reviewing the situation in my mind, if that's the case, I really deserve to die.

Thinking of this, Bai Bufan nodded:
"Leave me a whole body, thank you."
