"Damn, Lin Li, you've got some skills."
Bai Bufan watched the students from several classes getting scolded by the freshman grade director and homeroom teacher, feeling like he had narrowly escaped disaster.
After all, in the first few rounds, the main culprits leading the applause were Lin Li and himself.
But when the principal began his fourth speech, he intended to continue applauding, yet Lin Li stopped him with a hand gesture.
— "Listen to me, if we keep playing, we're going to get scolded. The rhythm is already there, someone else will lead now. It's more meaningful for us to switch to something else."
Lin Li leaned forward, puffed out his belly, put his hands behind his back, and issued a command: "The second floor should be built on top of the first floor."
This was earth-shattering content!
"General! General! General!" Bai Bufan's body reacted instinctively, entering loyalty mode, and he shouted excitedly.
"Wrong one, it's the Principal! Principal! Principal!"
And then things turned into the current situation.
The grade director stepped in to maintain order, and the group that led the applause earlier got a severe scolding, while the true mastermind, Lin Li, remained hidden, his achievements and reputation untouchable.
"Isn't that obvious," Lin Li responded to Bai Bufan's compliment, turning his head with a smirk reminiscent of Nike: "You're just not experienced enough. Once you've been around longer, you'll have a sharp sixth sense like mine."
Bai Bufan felt a pang of sympathy and lamented:
"Lin Li, being born in the same era as you must be quite tragic."
"Those who admire you, it's like looking up at a high mountain, they'll spend their entire lives just watching. Those who envy and hate you, it gets under their skin."
Lin Li: "?"
Seems like a compliment, unsure, listen again.
"You quoting 'Sword Coming'?"
Lin Li suddenly realized that the words were from 'Sword Coming' and were a compliment to Cao Ci, so he instantly got into character, looking at Bai Bufan:
"Although your starting point is still quite different from what I was before, I believe you, Bai Bufan, have the hope of following in my footsteps."
Xue Jian: "That's a high compliment."
After finishing their lines, the three exchanged glances and burst into laughter, finally finding enough amusement in the boring speech segment.
"Hahaha—"
"Hahaha—"
"Ha."
Wait, O.o?
Lin Li and Bai Bufan suddenly stopped laughing, looking at each other.
— Why the hell was there a third person?
...
"So boring." Ding Sihan hugged the head of a polar bear plushie in front of her chest and used her palm to block a bit of the sunlight, looking at the endlessly talking teachers on stage, she said to Chen Yu Ying.
"We've got no choice, just wait it out." Chen Yu Ying replied with a smile.
At the back of the class lineup, familiar laughter came through. Chen Yu Ying instinctively turned to look back.
"What are those two laughing foolishly about now?" Ding Sihan also turned around, sighed after seeing them clearly, and said: "I should have gone to the back to play with them. Listening to their comedy act would surely be more fun than standing here as punishment, especially since even Xue Jian is laughing; it must be fun."
"Eh? Xue Jian?"
When Lin Li and Bai Bufan weren't laughing, the smiles transferred to Chen Yu Ying and Ding Sihan's faces.
Then they saw Lin Li walking towards them.
Ask and you shall receive, maybe?
"What's up?" Chen Yu Ying asked curiously as he approached.
"Monitor, do you know the theory of risk dispersion?" Lin Li asked, adjusting the collar of his clown suit, sounding a bit proud:
"By distributing important figures across different locations or vehicles, it avoids collective loss from a single event, ensuring that in extreme cases, the leadership of an organization, enterprise, or even a country won't be entirely wiped out and can continue operating normally."
"A classic example is that it's said only three people know the Coca-Cola recipe, and they never fly on the same plane. The example isn't necessarily true, but it should help you understand."
"And Teacher Xue deeply understands this principle. He just realized that Bai Bufan and I, two crucial figures for our class, were in the back of the class lineup during a sports meet, which is chaotic and might accidentally allow terrorists to infiltrate Nansang Middle School.
Think about it, if a sudden airplane crash targeted us as twin towers, hitting the back of the class lineup, Bai Bufan and I would be taken out simultaneously.
It's terrifying to think about, once it happens, it would be a "10.23" incident that would shock both China and the world. Just imagining the scene makes me shiver with fright.
Therefore, to prevent the class from failing to operate without Bai Bufan and me, Teacher Xue asked me to move to the front of the class lineup, away from Bai Bufan."
Lin Li carefully and earnestly explained the pros and cons to Chen Yu Ying and Ding Sihan, using both hands and words, sincerely afraid they wouldn't understand.
Chen Yu Ying, Ding Sihan: "?"
After being fooled for a moment, Chen Yu Ying and Ding Sihan both lowered their heads and laughed.
This guy's at it again!
Why can he describe things like this!
If this were a sentence-shortening exercise in Chinese, the answer would probably be "Teacher Xue told me to move to the front," just this simple?
Oh well, since it's Lin Li, it's quite normal.
"Keep moving forward, to the very front." Xue Jian said with a black face, urging from behind.
"Teacher, can I just stand here?" Lin Li stayed next to Chen Yu Ying, looking at Xue Jian for approval.
Today's sun is so cold, Xue Jian's smile is so warm.
Warm enough to make Lin Li shiver, leaving them with a look that said 'you're both so regrettably unfortunate,' and then he cheerfully continued ahead.
