The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 388 Wu Min's Left Brain Is Refuting Her Right Brain
This sounds familiar... Wait, has he become extraordinary?

Oh no, am I not even able to protect the last half of this difficult scripture?

I wonder if Qin Zeyu and Zhang Haoyang will envy me.

As for Bai Bufan himself, he has now disappeared from the teaching building—he is not going home this week, so he decisively chose to contact his family via a message in a bottle to avoid a possible face-to-face confrontation.

So when Bai's mother, who came out with Wu Min, didn't see Bai Bufan, she wasn't surprised. She just lingered on Lin Li for a few more seconds with a somewhat complicated look in her eyes.

She hadn't noticed it before.

This child is so handsome, how could he be so extraordinary?

"Lin Li, keep up, but remember to keep your distance from me, don't get too close." Wu Min ignored Lin Li's heartbroken gaze and, like a secret agent, whispered as she passed by him.

Lin Li nodded helplessly, stood still and first told Bai's mother where Bai Bufan had gone, then looked at Chen Yuying and her mother in the front gate area.

When Chen Yuying's mother looked over, Lin Li smiled at her before leaving with Wu Min.

Sigh, I envy Bai Bufan.

—It would be great if I had a tail at this time, so I could wag my tail to let the other party know that I am showing goodwill.

At the school gate, Lin Li got into Wu Min's car.

Lin Li didn't come by bicycle today; Wu Min drove him here this morning.

Actually, Lin Li didn't plan to have Wu Min deliver it. After all, Wu Min rarely gets a holiday and goes home, so she should take the opportunity to sleep in.

However, Wu Min insisted on doing her part, and Lin Li couldn't refuse, so he accepted, silently remarking that Sister Min had grown up.

"Dinner is already prepared at home. Go home and eat first, and then Mom will take you to the driving school. But if you want to practice for the full number of hours today, Mom will be resting by the time you finish, so I won't pick you up from home. You'll have to take a taxi home by yourself."

After Lin Li got into the car, Wu Min finally resumed her role as Lin Li's mother, starting the vehicle and announcing her arrangements.

"Okay." Lin Li naturally didn't care.

"What combination of subjects are you planning to choose? Have you thought about it yet? Mom doesn't know much about these things, so you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Since she had nothing better to do while driving, Wu Min picked up the brochure that the school had given her from the passenger seat, tossed it to Lin Li, and asked him a question.

"Got it." Lin Li nodded.

"Oh? What group?" Wu Min asked curiously.

Lin Li: "A group with more girls."

Wu Min: "(；☉_☉)?"

Wu Min had considered many answers, all 35 possible combinations, but this was definitely an answer she hadn't expected.

I never expected to find such a serpentine basket in my own home.

Wu Min felt she needed to retract her earlier statement, "Mom doesn't understand these things very well, so you'll have to rely on yourself in the end."

Suddenly I realized that I could actually understand a little bit about it.

"What were you thinking when you chose this major?!" Wu Min said with a sullen laugh.

“As for girls,” Lin Li said bluntly, while observing Wu Min’s reaction, “Mom, I’m thinking about dating.”

Wu Min glanced at Lin Li in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "You're still a high school student, what's the rush to date?"

Lin Li raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, indignant:

"What's wrong with high school students? Kong Rong shared pears at the age of four, Sima Gang smashed the jar at the age of seven, Xiao Yan broke through the tenth level of Dou Qi at the age of eleven and condensed Dou Qi vortex to become a terrifying Dou Zhe, Qin Ganluo became prime minister at the age of twelve, and Zhou Yu was appointed as the naval commander at the age of thirteen..."

"These kids, they didn't even finish high school and they're already like this. I, Lin Li, am already eighteen, what's wrong with dating?"

As I said before, high school students should balance work and rest. They should date when they want to and study when they want to.

Sensing Wu Min's silence, Lin Li seemed pleased; clearly, his quotations had impressed her.

Wu Min: "..."

I have a feeling that there was something I didn't understand mixed in with the example just now.

“You’re not talking about the same thing at all!” Wu Min’s speech function quickly returned.

"Same here, same here, I just want to be in a relationship! I just want to be in a relationship!" Lin Li acted like a child.

"Alright, alright," Wu Min sighed, "I'll tell the navigation system to change the destination."

"Change destination? Sister Min, where do you want to go?" Lin Li narrowed his eyes, preparing to jump out of the car.

Lin Li didn't think Wu Min would say anything nice next, since she accepted it so quickly.

"After all, this is my first time being a mother. I've talked to many colleagues and friends about parenting before. Once, we talked about what to do when your child is in heat."

Their advice was to avoid breeding and to sterilize the child for the best for both the child and the mother. "Mom will take you there now," Wu Min said calmly.

Lin Li was delighted; his prediction had indeed been correct.

Lin Li then jokingly complained, "Mom, is it possible that the child they're talking about is a 'fur child' instead of a human child? Applying formulas randomly will only result in a zero score."

Wu Min smiled and continued driving home, glancing at Lin Li, unable to suppress her curiosity:

"Lin Li, why do you suddenly want to be in a relationship? Didn't you say before that you only liked characters from those cartoons?"

"First of all, it was anime, not cartoons. Secondly, Mom, you're still old. When you get to my age, you'll understand what the thrill of puberty is like."

Lin Li shrugged, gave a brief answer, and then followed up with another question:

"So Mom, what's your attitude towards me if I start dating? I'm asking you first so I can prepare some blood pressure medication for you if needed."

This time, Wu Min thought about it quite seriously for a while before speaking:
"I definitely won't support you in high school. Personally, I don't want you to be dating right now."

"But if you really start dating, as long as you are mindful of your thoughts and actions, Mom won't support you. I won't give you more money or help you with anything because you're dating, but I won't object either. I won't stop you or lecture you. Well... let nature take its course."

It was about what he had expected, so Lin Li nodded: "So that means if I want to go public with our relationship in the future, I don't need to prepare blood pressure medication?"

"Then let's get ready," Wu Min shook her head. "Mom is still worried that you might scare me."

Wu Min once heard a terrifying and regrettable experience from a colleague—

The mother and daughter were shopping for clothes at a department store when a colleague tried on a dress she thought was very nice and then asked her daughter, who had just started college, "Darling, do you think I look good in this dress?"

The daughter thought for a moment and said, "Mom, can you promise that no matter what I say now, you won't get angry?"

My colleague nodded: "I promise."

Daughter: "I'm pregnant."

So the colleague learned the daughter's secret, and the daughter also learned never to believe her mother's promises.

As for the regrets about this experience: Wu Min was actually quite curious about what the dress she had praised so highly was like, but after telling the story, her colleague was in a bad mood, so she didn't ask in the end.

Given Xi Ling's cautionary tale and considering that Lin Li has always surpassed his predecessors, Wu Min felt that antihypertensive medication was still necessary.

Faced with a dense forest, no amount of preparation is ever wasted.

Having received this answer, Lin Li nodded: "Mom, let's park the car then."

"Why did you park the car?" Wu Min asked.

Lin Li: "I'm going to the pharmacy next door to buy some blood pressure medication; I'll need it later."

"Suddenly bought..." Wu Min only said three words and then stopped, while driving slower and slower until she finally stopped on the side of the road.

Ugh.

Sighed.

Then she slowly turned her head, staring intently at Lin Li, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm going to be a grandmother?"

Lin Li: "?"

After a moment of surprise, Lin Li scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:
"This...this is too fast, Mom. Can you give me a few more years...To be honest, I never planned to do this before graduating and entering the workforce..."

Mom, if you want to hold the baby, you should switch to being a postpartum nanny for now...

Hearing Lin Li's words, Wu Min finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that no one was killed.

"So you're really in a relationship?" Wu Min asked.

Now I understand the strange words that were heard all along the way home; it turns out they were all setting the stage for this moment.
"Yes, we've been talking for two weeks now." Lin Li nodded without trying to hide his feelings.

Wu Min frowned slightly, then suddenly realized.

Two weeks ago, Lin Li did contact me suddenly in the middle of the night, asking if I wanted a grandson.

Phew—thank goodness I refused back then, Wu Min thought with a hint of lingering fear.

Wu Min then pressed on with a somewhat serious tone:
"Which side is the girl from? Is she from the same school?"
Lin Li, don't date someone in their twenties or even some working adult. Mom will absolutely not allow it. She'll force you to transfer to boarding school and cut off all contact with him.

Lin Li thought to himself, "This is like a husky pointing at someone." He had just said he'd let things take their course and wouldn't object, but now he's changed his tune.

Woman, your name is Lies.

However, Lin Li could understand Wu Min's concerns, so he just smiled and shook his head: "Of course not, how could I have time to get to know such people, not only from the same school, but also from the same class, and Mom, you know them too."

"I know her?" Wu Min's voice was louder and more surprised, but then she realized who Lin Li was talking about: "It's... that girl named Chen Yuying?"

If Wu Min had to name a student from Class 4 of the first year of high school besides Lin Li, it would only be Chen Yuying, the class monitor who had added her as a friend and discussed things with her for quite some time when she wanted to celebrate Lin Li's birthday.

However, including today, Wu Min has one more student she remembers: Xiao Linli, Bai Bufan.

“It’s her.” Lin Li nodded.

Wu Min subconsciously took out her phone, found Chen Yuying's friend, and clicked into her Moments.

When Wu Min saw the girl's face, her heart skipped a beat.

Oh no! Someone else's carefully cultivated cabbage has been ruined by their own pig!
That child was so polite back then!

There was no joy, nor any pride in the fact that her son had found such a well-rounded girlfriend. Wu Min herself didn't know why, but she subconsciously put herself in the shoes of the girl's parents and felt a pang of heartache.

After browsing through Chen Yuying's photos on WeChat Moments, Wu Min noticed that Lin Li appeared quite frequently in Chen Yuying's Moments.

Although most of the photos are of a group of people going out, Wu Min can always find a few individual photos of Lin Li and Chen Yuying in the nine-square grid if she looks carefully.

That's it, this is probably true, and not Lin Li's delusions.

"Okay... Mom understands..." Wu Min nodded hesitantly.

People always have to face reality, and Wu Min returned to the role of "Lin Li's mother" after previously being "Chen Yuying's parent".

She would feel much more at ease if her child's boyfriend was Chen Yuying.

She had heard that the class monitor of Class 4 was of excellent character and could consistently rank in the top ten of the grade despite being in a parallel class.

“Lin Li, if you don’t have enough money, just tell your mom. When you’re dating, you boys should be more generous… The feelings you have at this age are actually the purest, which is great…” Wu Min said softly.

Lin Li lowered his head, rubbed his forehead with his fingers, and chuckled softly.

Wu Min just said that "she neither supports nor opposes her dating," but in reality, she both supports and opposes it.

The left brain proposes a hypothesis, while the right brain attacks the left brain, and Lin Li almost recalls an old friend.

Women's words are indeed completely unreliable.

"I have good taste, don't I?" Lin Li said smugly.

“Hmm,” Wu Min nodded and then shook her head, “but her judgment is poor.”

Lin Li remained smiling; outstanding people are always prone to being slandered, he was used to it.

"Does her family know?" Wu Min asked again, then looked at another contact on the list with 'Chen Yuying' in it: "Speaking of which, I also have this girl's father's WeChat."

— Chen Zhongping took the initiative to add me on WeChat during the National Day holiday.

He even asked Lin Li to be more tolerant of him, and specifically emphasized to him that "Lin Li may not look like a human being, but he is indeed a human being, and he is a good child."

At that time, Wu Min was able to sense that the other party did not trust Lin Li.

Wu Min's thinking at the time was that time would prove her right.

But I'm sorry, Mr. Chen Yuying.

Time has proven you right.

We really shouldn't be reassured.

Haha, how embarrassing...

Wu Min suddenly broke out in a sweat. She decided she wouldn't come to parent-teacher conferences anymore, and even if Lin Li got first place in the grade again, she wouldn't come!

“Her mother knows, but her father doesn’t,” Lin Li answered truthfully.

"Why does only one side know? Their family..." Wu Min was taken aback upon hearing this, her words tinged with probing.

"You're overthinking it, Mom," Lin Li said with a smile, waving his hand. "It's simply because her mother, like you, supports her dating, but her father, like you, opposes it. So she selectively only told her mother."

"I see..." Wu Min nodded, then pondered for a moment before restarting the vehicle.

It's not that I've figured it out, it's that if I keep stopping, I'll get fined.

"So you mean you'll choose your subjects based on the girl's choices and be in the same class as her?"

The meaning behind Lin Li's previous answer was self-evident, and Wu Min inquired again.

"Maybe. Anyway, I'll either choose to be in the same class as my buddies or in the same class as my girlfriend."

"After all, no matter which subject I choose, I'm confident I can easily get a total score of over 297—(Min-jie, I'm not saying 300 simply because I have the virtue of humility)," Lin Li said with a smile.

Under the grading system, you might not need to get a perfect score on the exam paper to score 100. Lin Li believes that with his current rate of growth, getting a perfect score on the exam paper in his second year of high school will be a piece of cake.

“Lin Li…” Wu Min looked at Lin Li with complicated eyes, hesitated, remained silent for a long time, and finally smiled with relief: “It’s up to you. As long as you have your own arrangements, Mom won’t interfere.”

"By the way, it's best not to choose biology," Wu Min suddenly added.

"why."

"Mom is afraid of your biology."

Lin Li burst into laughter.

Wu Min laughed along, but after noticing the verification message popping up on her phone out of the corner of her eye, her laughter vanished instantly, replaced by a flustered expression:
"Huh? Wait a minute? Why did Chen Yuying's mom suddenly add me at this time?!"

“Oh,” Lin Li said, not surprised at all. “I just told the class monitor about ‘I told you,’ and I guess she told her mom too. You two can exchange information now that you’re friends.”

Wu Min was taken aback by what she heard, then slowed down the car. Her eyes darted back and forth between the road conditions and the screen, her finger hovering in the air.

Lin Li was somewhat surprised.

Why does pressing the "Accept Friend" button look like a nuclear launch button?

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"What? Your mom is nervous because she doesn't dare to, she always feels that we are inferior to Chen Yuying's mother..." Wu Min said irritably.

“What’s there to be afraid of? What era are we living in? Mom, they may be rich, but we may be poor, but we’re not poor in spirit!” Lin Li encouraged.

"What do you mean by money or poverty? What does that have to do with anything?" Wu Min glanced at Lin Li, who looked like a fool, and sneered.
"I feel inferior simply because you're the one dating her kid! I always feel like I owe them something, like I'm the one who ruined them..."

Lin Li sighed.

Wu Min probably didn't pay attention to Chen Yuying's family's financial situation, and this statement seems to have some truth to it.

This "several" should be greater than or equal to "hundred".

Wu Min ultimately approved the request, but immediately resumed driving normally afterward, and even gave Lin Li some instructions:
"Lin Li, please tell them that I'm driving and can't concentrate on chatting. You were the one who accepted my friend request. I'll talk to her mother when I get home."

"Mom needs to think about what to say next."

Lin Li nodded nonchalantly: "Okay, but Mom, you don't need to be so nervous. As the saying goes, the best in-laws will eventually meet their daughter-in-law..."

Having unusually added the word "beautiful" to her own name, Wu Min glanced at Lin Li again, deciding to refrain from scolding him for the time being.

"call--"

The important thing now is not to scold Lin Li. Feeling like Wu Min, whose death sentence has been commuted to a suspended death sentence, she starts to think about what kind of opening remarks she should use, what the other party might say, and how she should respond.

If the other party is questioning me, how should I distance myself from Lin Li?
With mixed feelings and no satisfactory answer in sight, Wu Min sighed and asked, "Lin Li, is your deskmate, Bai Bufan, in a relationship?"

"Not yet." Lin Li shook his head.

Extraordinary Mom, you're still doing better than me.

Wu Min was somewhat envious.

Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.

But he was the only one in his family who chanted scriptures; how miserable.

Lin Li: "But he has someone he likes."

"Who? Can you tell me?"

"Feifei."

"Feifei? Who? I don't remember there being such a girl in your class?"

"She works at a foot massage parlor."

Seemingly afraid that Wu Min wouldn't believe him, Lin Li opened his phone and scrolled through the chat history. Then a voice message popped up, it was Bai Bufan's voice—"Lin Li, ahhhhh, I miss Feifei."

Wu Min: "..."
