Chapter 114 - 106: But This Place Is Really Nice

"Lin Li, oh Lin Li, you always manage to meet me in the most unexpected places!" Xue Jian said, his middle-aged face serious. Lin Li immediately remembered their last encounter and then burst out laughing. After laughing, Lin Li realized he’d messed up, knowing he shouldn’t have laughed at that moment. Sure enough, Xue Jian’s face darkened instantly: "Even if you had your reasons, you can’t just use that as an opportunity to go in and out of girls’ rooms willy-nilly. Your thoughts aren’t right. After Mid-Autumn Festival, submit an 800-word reflection." "It’s the class monitor who asked me to come over directly." Lin Li thought for a moment and decided to drag Chen Yu Ying into it. At least he ought to share the reflection task; she should help him write 400 words. No, better have five people share, so each writes 160 words. Xue Jian looked at Chen Yu Ying, who was initially watching the drama and felt a bit embarrassed but nodded. She handed over a tissue, letting Xue Jian wipe his shoes. "Yu Ying must have her reasons for doing this." Xue Jian nodded, "You can go back, no need to write the reflection." Lin Li gave a thumbs up, good students do have special privileges. Hopefully, after the monthly exams, I could enjoy such treatments too. ... Opening his room door, Chen Tianming hadn’t returned yet. The two who were bickering fiercely upon leaving were now lying in a bed together, appreciating one of Japan’s ’Three No-Spray’ films. And using an IMAX projection. "You guys are really something." Listening to the tantalizing sounds in his ears, Lin Li was truly amazed. "Why did you take so long? We’ve already finished blanching. Not sure if there’s enough hot water left, so be aware if you want a shower. Or you could heat it up again." Zhou Baowei, leaning on a pillow, watching the subtitles on the projection, advised tactically. The film was played at 3x speed, with frequent fast-forwarding. Clearly, they weren’t watching this film for its intended use; they were just appreciating the plot. True artists indeed. Then Lin Li walked up to Zhou Baowei and grabbed his chest. Zhou Baowei: "?" Bai Bufan: "!" The groped Zhou Baowei suddenly covered his butt: "What are you up to? Bufan! Change to a normal program, else Lin Li might unleash his beastly nature!" "Applying lard to the hands moisturizes and protects the skin, preventing frostbite." Lin Li said flatly. "Makes sense!" Bai Bufan immediately pressed down on the other side of Zhou Baowei. Zhou Baowei: "..." Lin Li, having groaned, thought he should’ve used all the hot water for himself when blanching earlier. Lin Li headed to the bathroom, realizing he had just attempted the Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique, but it didn’t react at all. The experiment is certainly lacking rigor, but unfortunately, Lin Li couldn’t find suitable experimental tools. He couldn’t just ask Yu Yu if he could cooperate in his experiment. ... After the shower, Lin Li joined the viewing segment on the bed. They were watching a Minotaur now. Quickly going through the film plot. "Though I’m a pure love warrior, this film is really good, substituting into Huang Mao is truly exhilarating," Lin Li remarked. "Though I’m a pure love warrior, this film is really good, substituting into the victim is truly exhilarating," Bai Bufan remarked. "Though I’m a pure love warrior, this film is really good, substituting into the heroine is truly exhilarating," Zhou Baowei remarked. Everyone truly has a bright future. "Knock, knock, knock." "There’s still a dog left in the film. Just perfect for Tian Ming to substitute into." Being closest to the door, Zhou Baowei got up to open it. Then he froze. Bai Bufan, curious, also sat up to see who it was, then he too stood straight. Xue Jian slowly walked in. The four of them exchanged glances, creating a silent scene. Well, not quite silent; the tantalizing sounds hadn’t stopped yet. "Ah~ ah~ ah~" "Yamete~" It was scarier than silence. Bai Bufan, startled, rushed to stand in front of the screen, attempting to conceal the criminal evidence. This kid was also scared witless; a projection can’t be concealed this way. Instead, it made the plot start playing on his face. The scene wasn’t eerily terrifying anymore, but watching those things play on Bai Bufan’s face and body, the scenario became abstract. If Lin Li hadn’t just gone through the ’don’t laugh challenge’ training, he might’ve laughed again. Lin Li inwardly scolded Bao Wei for not asking who’s there before opening the door, then sensibly stood up and turned off the projection. "What were you watching?" Xue Jian, returning after changing into slippers, asked, already knowing the answer. Lin Li: "It’s a normal movie." "If it’s a normal movie, why is everyone in it naked?" Xue Jian asked with a cold smile. "The internet is too slow; it hasn’t loaded yet," Lin Li replied warmly. Xue Jian: "..." Then he sighed, holding his forehead: "Next door they’re playing Poker; you’re watching films, I don’t even dare imagine what the next dorm will surprise me with. You guys are honestly the hardest group I’ve ever handled." There’s no spray this time; truly the toughest batch. With vice and gambling combined, opening the next dorm won’t involve skating, right? The three could only smile wryly. "But when out for fun, I won’t use school rules to spoil your fun. Where’s Chen Tianming, where is the kid?" Xue Jian was, at this point, rather open-minded. He didn’t disperse the Poker game next door and was even convinced to participate earlier. Relaxing with the students is rather nice, but knowing the relaxation content here was probably less suitable to participate in. "Teacher, I’m here!" Chen Tianming returned timely, "I was room-hopping." "Okay, let me remind you..." Xue Jian reiterated some rules and then prepared to leave. "This stuff you should watch less, it’s unhealthy for the body. The younger you are, the more you should cherish your body, don’t wait to regret it at my age." Xue Jian said before leaving. The message was quite extensive. "Sad! Old Jian isn’t up to it anymore!" Zhou Baowei lamented on the ground. Xue Jian returned when he opened the door. Zhou Baowei now didn’t know whether to cry or not. Messed up! But Xue Jian wasn’t back for Zhou Baowei, pointing at Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "Thinking over it, you two can watch a bit more here, but just finish watching here, and don’t go to any places with dubious reputation, understood?" Lin Li, Bai Bufan: "..." "Understood." Only then did Xue Jian truly leave. Zhou Baowei couldn’t cry, so he started laughing. "What happened? What were you watching?" Chen Tianming, who had just returned, looked utterly confused, but then he didn’t mind and instead opened his suitcase, flipping it open on the floor, rapidly taking out clothes: "What do you think about this outfit on me, or this one? Lin Li, you’re about my height, do you have any really cool clothes? Help a brother out and match me!" "What’s up? Are you going on a date tomorrow?" Lin Li inquired curiously. "Yeah, yeah, I’m meeting Qiaoqiao for a date tomorrow!" Chen Tianming nodded emphatically. "You call that a damn date? We’re all going to Pingjiang Amusement Park, isn’t meeting up normal?" Lin Li couldn’t hold back. "Oh well anyway, I’m not hanging with you guys at the park tomorrow, does this outfit work? Never mind, you two have no sense of aesthetics, Lin Li, what do you think?" Chen Tianming turned to Lin Li. Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei didn’t mind either; they enthusiastically left the room, planning to join the Poker game next door. And to share the amazing experience they just had. It would definitely leave Wang Ze and his crew astonished. "Did you bring a suit?" Lin Li frowned and asked. "Who wears a suit in September? It’s so hot, although a suit would look nice." Chen Tianming shook his head. "Then let me change your hairstyle. I guarantee you’ll have Qiaoqiao wrapped around your finger." Lin Li nodded a bit regretfully, then said. "Okay! I trust you, Lin Li!" Three minutes later. "This hairstyle... is it Hannibal?" When Lin Li brought Chen Tianming in front of the mirror, he squinted skeptically. "It’s a unisex hairstyle, suitable for both men and women, an all-purpose style, and if you had a suit, it would be even more perfect." Lin Li countered earnestly. "Is this a Hannibal style?" Chen Tianming, squinting, questioned as Lin Li brought him to the mirror. "Yeah, it can cut through both men and women, a universal hairstyle. With a suit, it’d be perfect." Lin Li genuinely explained.
