Chapter 106 - 98 It Turns Out to Be the Luckiest Person in the World

Fortunately, Xue Jian doesn’t know the Mind Reading Technique. If he knew what Lin Li was thinking, he would definitely sit beside him the whole time, smiling and staring at him, not for any reason but to make Lin Li uncomfortable. He just thinks there’s nothing wrong with boys and girls sitting together, and overly emphasizing gender differences is the real mistake. Besides, although Lin Li is unreliable, he indeed trusts Chen Yu Ying. The space in a luxury bus is naturally spacious. Although the three of them sit together, it’s not cramped, and the three of them are quite comfortable. Lin Li observed the system. After Chen Yu Ying sat down, the progress bar of the system started to change. It’s probably because Lin Li ’mimicked’ Chen Yu Ying and also sat down at that moment. However, the change in speed is better than nothing. At this growth rate, even sitting on this bus for three days and two nights wouldn’t complete it. So, he definitely has to mimic Chen Yu Ying’s behavior in more ways. After realizing this, Lin Li leaned back slightly, using his peripheral vision to observe Chen Yu Ying, who had just sat down and was now rummaging through her little bag. Lin Li’s backpack was with Zhang Haoyang, and it would practically mean little to get it now, as Chen Yu Ying wouldn’t be sorting her bag endlessly. So Lin Li thought for a bit and started looking through his pockets, fumbling with his wired earphones. The progress jumped a bit faster; this time, sitting on the bus for three days and two nights should do it. But the completion idea was confirmed again: the more accurately he mimics, the faster it completes. Everyone had arrived, and after the driver confirmed with Xue Jian, the bus started. "Yu Ying, do you want to eat?" Ding Sihan had already opened a pack of onion rings and placed it in front of Chen Yu Ying. "Mm, thank you." Chen Yu Ying politely and elegantly reached out and took one. "Mm, thank you too." A large hand followed suit, grabbing a handful, but in the end, only took out one. Reaching out was mimicking, grabbing a handful was instinct, taking only one meant mimicking triumphed over instinct. The progress bar nudged forward slightly. Ding Sihan: "?" Did I ask you to take it? So rude, minus points! Fortunately, Lin Li immediately turned his head, reaching over to snatch a piece of gummy from Bai Bufan’s hand and handed it to Ding Sihan: "Do you want these?" Ding Sihan nodded and took one, which was more or less fair, reciprocation, plus points! Seeing Chen Yu Ying also took one to eat, Lin Li followed suit. However, this time, the anticipated boost in progress did not occur. Lin Li thought for a moment, realizing that interfering with Chen Yu Ying’s actions before mimicking can’t speed up the task completion. Some of the original plans instantly fell apart. "Being generous with others’ generosity, could the leftovers after being generous be returned so that others might taste it too?" A slightly bitter voice came from behind. Spooky occurrences again in Nansang Sect, one full of Ghost Cultivators. "Sorry, it was an unconscious habit to pocket it; I thought no one would pick it up!" Lin Li returned the leftover candy he instinctively put in his pocket to Bai Bufan, expressing his gratitude: "Next week, breakfast is on me." Then he continued to observe Chen Yu Ying and saw that she had already taken out her phone. Lin Li also immediately took out his phone. Chen Yu Ying opened Tencent Video. Lin Li also opened Tencent Video. The bus hit a speed bump, causing a slight shake. Lin Li and Chen Yu Ying’s phone screens instantly switched to the Pinduoduo Double Eleven event site, and both became the world’s luckiest people, receiving messages like ’Heaven-sent Fortune, Lucky Boost, Congratulations Again’... In short, they could receive ¥500 in cash withdrawals with no threshold by inviting just one more friend. What the hell. "Class monitor, do you know how modern technology predicts earthquakes?" Lin Li sighed and asked. "How do they predict it?" Chen Yu Ying turned her head and inquired. "Place a phone in each of the eight directions. If one of them switches to Pinduoduo, that area is having an earthquake." Lin Li confidently claimed. Chen Yu Ying was startled for a moment and then burst out laughing. "Modern Zhang Heng, acknowledged." Ding Sihan, upon hearing this, gave a big thumbs up. "Whoever invented the shake-your-phone-to-open-ads feature should really be shot, and it should be executed repeatedly." Lin Li exclaimed from the heart. "I second that, and that fast app thing, whoever invented it should really be shot with a machine gun." Ding Sihan evidently shared similar feelings. Chen Yu Ying, however, didn’t participate in their sentencing discussion. After chatting simply for a bit, she started a variety show, and after taking out her earphones, she shared them with Ding Sihan. The two started watching the show to pass the time. Lin Li remembered the variety show’s name and searched for it on his phone. What the hell, it’s subscription-only. But for the task, for a deeper mimicry, this small amount of money is inconsequential. Sign up for a new user first month of continuous monthly subscription for just ¥12! Payment, switch back to WeChat, cancel the continuous monthly service, all done effortlessly by Lin Li. Thus, Lin Li began to watch the show. A few minutes later, Lin Li noticed something was amiss. Not only did the progress bar speed not increase, but it even slowed down, even slower than just sitting at the beginning, almost to a halt. But when Lin Li glanced at Chen Yu Ying, she was still watching the variety show with Ding Sihan. He even mimicked her way of watching, with one hand supporting his cheek, so the stagnant speed made no sense. Wait. Lin Li looked at the system again, realizing that when he watched Chen Yu Ying’s screen, the speed returned to normal. "..." The problematic system. To mimic Chen Yu Ying watching the variety show, he had to watch the show on her phone, did he? Oh, it’s truly frustrating. But with the system having the sole right to explain, Lin Li had no choice but to comply. Before complying, though, Lin Li had one thing to do: "Tencent User 9000821: Hello, support, my kid accidentally subscribed to a membership on my phone, can I get a refund?" Twelve yuan, well, is still spring breeze elf fragment (Komodo dragon mold), saving when necessary, spending when necessary. ... "Lin Li, are you watching too?" After a segment of the variety show ended, as Chen Yu Ying moved her body, she noticed that Lin Li had been watching his phone all along, so she curiously asked. "Yeah, I just took a peek, it’s quite interesting." There’s nothing to hide here; the more you try to hide it, the weirder it looks. So, Lin Li naturally admitted, nodding. In just over ten minutes, the progress bar increased at a pace that was quite satisfying. "Isn’t it? It’s super interesting! This variety show is really good, it..." Upon hearing that, Chen Yu Ying immediately started describing the show’s details to Lin Li, who nodded in response. "Isn’t it uncomfortable to watch it without sound? How about I give you this earphone?" After finishing her introduction, Chen Yu Ying took off her earphone and handed it to Lin Li. "What about you?" "I recommended this show to Si Han; I’ve actually watched it once. You two go ahead, I’ve brought my tablet anyway." Chen Yu Ying waved her hand dismissively. For girls, successfully getting others to enjoy what you like is a fulfilling task. "That’s not right." Lin Li undoubtedly refused. His watching of the show only held meaning because Chen Yu Ying was also watching it. Her stopping to watch and him continuing would be doing things backward, wouldn’t it? But naturally, the words couldn’t be said so bluntly: "How can it be that you can’t watch it on your phone? No worries, I’m good like this. Don’t insist, class monitor. If you’re not watching, then neither will I." Next to him, Ding Sihan couldn’t help but smile upon hearing that. It is known that there are three people right now. The class monitor doesn’t watch, Lin Li doesn’t watch; the class monitor watches, Lin Li watches. The earphones support only two people watching, not three. She shouldn’t be in the bus; she should be under it. Ding Sihan removed her own earphones and handed them to Lin Li: "How about I give you my earphones?" "Thank you, Si Han! And you have the most beautiful eyes." Lin Li immediately accepted them and expressed his sincere gratitude. Not even a moment of hesitation? Even better, Lin Li. "Should I just play it out loud?" Chen Yu Ying asked upon seeing the situation. "No need, playing it out loud isn’t ideal, you two can watch. Yu Ying, I’m much clumsier than you, I really need to spend some time watching this," Lin Li said as he fiddled a bit, smiling as he put on the earphones, "Don’t worry, class monitor, I can just watch like this—don’t try to persuade me, if you’re not watching, I’m not watching either." There you go. Ding Sihan folded her now empty hands, her face maintaining a smile. Not a second of hesitation? She should probably be under the bus rather than inside. Ding Sihan removed her earphone and handed it to Lin Li: "Here, take my earphone then?" "Thank you so much, Ding Sihan, you’re the best Nansang girl ever, your eyes shine like stars." Lin Li immediately took the earphones, expressing his heartfelt thanks. Sure enough, with the earphones on, listening improved the experience. Not even a moment’s hesitation? Good, good, Lin Li. "How about I just play it out loud? Should I?" "No need, playing it out loud isn’t a great idea. You two just watch it. Yu Ying, my hands are much clumsier than yours, I need to focus now to watch for a while," Chen Yu Ying suggested. "Alright then." Chen Yu Ying thought for a moment and then nodded. When people aren’t around, Lin Li owes Ding Sihan two bows. He gave a thankful look to Ding Sihan, even if she probably didn’t notice, and then Lin Li continued to immerse himself in watching the show. As they drew closer together, the light fragrance of her shampoo became more intense, lingering at the tip of his nose, quite pleasant to smell.
