Although Fang Lihua was somewhat displeased with the student speaking to him in such a tone, he nodded anyway.

So Lin Li and the other three left.

After they were out of sight, Fang Lihua belatedly realized he didn't know the names of the four or which class they were in.

So Fang Lihua turned to Mao Jiaqi, "Mao Jiaqi, do you know them? What are their names? Which class?"

Mao Jiaqi was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head, "Those four... are the 'Sharp Lookers' group."

Fang Lihua: "?"

"What the heck?"

"Sir, I don't know their names or class; I think they might be from class four? I'm not sure," Mao Jiaqi apologized.

"Alright, that's noted," Fang Lihua replied.

On the way downstairs.

Wang Ze had already ordered delivery, so he went directly to pick it up. Lin Li and the other two hadn't ordered, and they didn't want to wait another half hour, so they went to the cafeteria.

After a brief criticism of Wang Yuhui's clownish behavior, Lin Li asked Bai Bufan, "Bufan, did you add Wang Ze on QQ with your alt account?"

"That's right," Bai Bufan chuckled.

"Be careful, don't really make Wang Ze go crazy," Lin Li warned.

"Don't worry, I've got it under control. This afternoon, I'll have him treat my 'little sister' to dinner and reveal the truth then," Bai Bufan nodded.

"Alright, keep yourself safe tonight. I fear Wang Ze might lose his mind; you know how it is, as they say, 'we came, so we might as well stay.' Lin Li patted Bai Bufan on the shoulder, advising, "Especially since Wang Ze is naturally inclined that way; although your actions are really cold, your interest is really hot."

What do a corpse and a swimming pool have in common? They are both cold when you enter; what do Bai Bufan and a sauna have in common? They are both hot when you enter.

Kind-hearted Bai Bufan: "... Damn."

...

[Do your best to participate in the sect competition, winning at least three first prizes for yourself or for the sect, with at least two in the main competition (3/1; 2/2)]

[You can now choose to complete the task and claim the reward at any time, but you won't trigger the chance for a probability doubling.]

In the afternoon, the moment the finish line was crossed, Lin Li broke the Nansang Middle School sports meet's 1500-meter men's freshman record again by three seconds.

The system also issued such a notification.

Lin Li, of course, did not choose to settle; he was working towards this doubling opportunity from the start and wasn't in a hurry.

His own projects only had the relay race left, which served as a finale for tomorrow's sports meet.

"Lin Li, want some water? Which bottle do you want?" As Lin Li finished the race and came into the inner field, Chen Yu Ying went up to ask.

"Of course, which one have you drunk from?" Lin Li nodded, asking.

"I haven't drunk from either," Chen Yu Ying shook her head, waving the two bottles in her hand before offering them to Lin Li, "Here's the difference: one is cold, and the other at room temperature."

The condensed droplets glistening on the cold mineral water bottle trickled down her slender fingers, making Lin Li slightly tempted to slurp.

After knowing Bai Bufan for a while, his own habits were slightly leaning toward dog-like as well.

"Then I won't drink; I plan to die of thirst, and this is all your fault. When my dehydrated body is discovered, class leader, think about how you'll explain yourself as the culprit," Lin Li crossed his arms, refusing to take the bottles and insisted.

"Then I must really think it over seriously," Chen Yu Ying laughed in response.

"So thirsty, so thirsty, so thirsty, so thirsty..." Thus, Lin Li began a leisurely but continuous lament.

"Lin Li, I've got water here." Hearing Lin Li's words as he walked over, Bai Bufan immediately spoke up.

"Buzz off."

"Oh, bye-bye, you two continue," Bai Bufan nodded and buzzed off.

Lin Li was sure he drove Bai Bufan away because three's a crowd, not because Bai Bufan was unwelcome.

"So thirsty, so thirsty..."

Chen Yu Ying maintained a soft smile, and upon noticing several sidelong glances from Lin Li, finally burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright~"

With slender fingers, she gently unscrewed the cap, tilting her head up, and the sunlight shone through the bottle onto her fair neck, yet the bottle's mouth hovered just a few centimeters from her lips, and the water cascaded lightly into her mouth.

The crisp and pleasant sound made the air turn cool, and a drop of water slipped from the corner of her lips, but was wiped away with her hand before it reached her chin.

"Thinking it over, Lin Li, it's a pity if you die after all. Now this bottle, I've drunk from it, you can have it, right?" Chen Yu Ying offered the bottle and asked.

"And here I thought I'd have to bug-fix that; this isn't what I imagined 'drunk from' to mean, is it?" Lin Li blinked.

"I've compromised, and so must you," Chen Yu Ying swayed the bottle using her index finger in front of him.

"Alright then," Lin Li smiled, nodded, and accepted the water.

"Compromising over what? Give me a turn too?" Approaching as she heard Lin Li talk, Ding Sihan immediately asked.

"Go away."

Lin Li forgot that Ding Sihan was different from Bai Bufan.

"I am the great contributor to Class Four's sports meet! Ding Sihan, how impertinent!"

...

"Bufan, help me check if there's still a mark on the back of my sweatpants," Lin Li asked as he walked to Bai Bufan on the stands.

"Gone."

"That's good," Lin Li nodded, then lazily leaned against the railing beside Bai Bufan, "Bufan, you're the best, saying 'buzz off' and you actually buzz off, a natural talent for flitting away."

"I'll take that as a compliment," Bai Bufan laughed.

"With a buddy like you, what more could I wish for? Bufan, be sure to tell me whenever you face a hardship," Lin Li patted Bai Bufan on the shoulder, expressing his appreciation.

"And then you'll add insult to injury, right?" Bai Bufan chuckled cynically.

"No, if you ever face difficulty, I'll definitely give you a hand," Lin Li's smile was warm, then he became serious, "But remember, only once."

"Is that the extent of our friendship?"

"Has nothing to do with friendship, it's just if someone helps multiple times, that's damn romance, not brotherhood."

Bai Bufan: "(;☉_☉)?"
