Chapter 131 - 119: Friendly Reminder: You Can Breathe

Then Chen Yu Ying looked at Lin Li and said, "But if we bump into them again later and they find out we’re still just four people, won’t Yao Qiaoqiao realize you’re lying to her? Will it make her think less of you?" The class leader really pays attention to details, considering even this angle. Lin Li waved his hand dismissively, "It doesn’t matter. If we do run into them and she asks, I’ll just say it’s to let Tianming get along with them. Besides, her opinion of me isn’t that important." "Whose opinion is more important to you then?" Qu Wanqiu chimed in with a mischievous smile. "The Party and the State and the People!" Now that Lin Li was not just part of the masses but also the youth league, he stood upright, clenched his right fist and thumped his left chest, and declared loudly. Loyalty! Faith! Qu Wanqiu: "???" "Eh? Yikes? Ha? Uh... Ah! Oh?" All were interjections; Qu Wanqiu said nothing yet seemed to say everything. Wow. Can you really answer like that? That’s not what I wanted to hear, was it? On the side, Chen Yu Ying and Ding Sihan were momentarily stunned by this response. Then, looking at Lin Li who stood upright like a model soldier, and the dumbfounded Qu Wanqiu, especially Qu Wanqiu’s expression of disbelief, the contrast was too great, and their laughter burst out quickly. "Pfft hahaha——" Gradually, they laughed so hard they were bending over. "You, you..." Qu Wanqiu pointed at him. "What’s wrong with me?" "You’re... amazing! You’re amazing!" Finally regaining a bit of her ability to speak, Qu Wanqiu gave Lin Li a big thumbs up. She acknowledged his level. Lin Li then put away his chest-thumping gesture and smiled at the three. Thinking they could stump me with this kind of question is too naive. "Alright, stop laughing!" Qu Wanqiu looked at Ding Sihan and Chen Yu Ying, who were already squatting on the ground, and stomped her foot in annoyance. "I’m sorry, but Wanqiu, your expression just now was really funny, especially when Lin Li was thumping his chest all serious in front of you." Ding Sihan was already sitting on the ground, and as she spoke, she repeated and laughed even louder. "My stomach hurts from laughing a bit, can you pull me up? I can’t get up." Chen Yu Ying’s eyes glistened with tears of laughter, clutching her stomach as she spoke. Lin Li extended his hand. Qu Wanqiu retracted her hand. "Let’s go, seriously, no more laughing! We’re going to the Ferris wheel!" Qu Wanqiu crossed her arms, glaring at Ding Sihan and Chen Yu Ying. "Okay, okay, we’re coming." The two barely held back their laughter, came to Qu Wanqiu’s side, and took her arms again, forming a super obstacle. Lin Li was blocked behind by this super obstacle. Following the slow pace of the three, Lin Li walked calmly, pressing his left hand on his nape and alternately tapping with his fingers, glancing at his right hand. "Did it feel like electric shocks?" Forget it, it’s not important. ... The Ferris wheel is quite popular, the queue is longer than for the famous thrill rides. But it’s reasonable when you think about it, since it’s a ride suitable for all ages. Moreover, this ride doesn’t have a single rider’s lane; although each cabin can seat six people at most, even if only two come, they won’t forcibly fill the cabin with four others, allowing the two to enjoy the whole cabin. So the efficiency isn’t very high, plus the speed of one round is slow, and the ’turnover rate’ is low. But it’s just right to use the queue time to wait for the sunset to fill the sky with red. "The setting sun cast an orange glow over the mountains." The orange-red sunset shines on the mountains. Hmm, consolidating the knowledge point, with such hard work, I will surely reach the top hundred in my grade at the next monthly exam. "What are you babbling about?" Ding Sihan heard and turned to ask. Lin Li chuckled and shook his head, he and people like Ding Sihan have a regrettably thick barrier. "It’s normal for someone like you not to understand, class leader, could you translate my English for this ignorant woman?" Lin Li looked at Chen Yu Ying. "You were speaking... English... just now?" Chen Yu Ying turned her head, her doe-like eyes blinked. Lin Li: "..." Lin Li repeated in a very slow pace. "Oh——" The three suddenly understood, now they got it. "It’s fine, it was my speaking issue, Ding Sihan, I apologize for the hundred times I mocked you in my mind just now." Lin Li said, somewhat defeated. "That’s too quick to mock! Luckily I’ve already cursed you ten thousand times in my heart!" Ding Sihan rolled her eyes. After spending a whole half hour, it finally was the four’s turn. After going up, the three naturally sat in line, and Lin Li naturally took over Chen Yu Ying’s phone, preparing to take photos of the three of them. Sometimes a tool person needs to have this kind of awareness. "Wait until we’re a bit higher to take them, the background feels off for now." Chen Yu Ying looked at the photos Lin Li just took and said. Then she first began taking pictures of the gradually rising view outside the window with her phone. Lin Li heard and leisurely lay on his side, comfortably occupying one side, resting his head, looking at the sky through the other side. Quite cozy. But wealth can’t show off, he was barely comfortable for a few seconds before this scoundrel Ding Sihan targeted him. "Move, move, let me lie down too!" Ding Sihan nudged the side of Lin Li’s shoe with the tip of her own, urging him. Next time, you should put on an uncomfortable face. Lin Li sat on the other side, looking at the scenery outside through the transparent cabin wall. The sunset really made for a beautiful view. "It’s actually quite comfortable. If only there was a pillow, it’d be perfect," remarked Ding Sihan, who was lying back comfortably due to being much shorter than Lin Li. "Ding Sihan, do you know the most comfortable way to position your tongue?" Lin Li suddenly asked. "Huh? Tongue? How to position it?" Ding Sihan was a bit curious. "When you’re not aware of it, any way is comfortable," Lin Li said with a smile. Ding Sihan: "?" Oh no! Upon realizing her tongue was in her mouth, Ding Sihan suddenly felt like no position was right! "Oh, and remember to breathe," Lin Li cheerily added. Once you’re aware of your breathing, it switches from automatic to manual. Ding Sihan shot up to a sitting position, now feeling like ants were crawling all over her! "Lin Li, I’m going to kill you!" "Class Rep, save me!" Lin Li called out to Chen Yu Ying for help. "No saving..." Chen Yu Ying and Qu Wanqiu not only distanced themselves from Lin Li to help Ding Sihan get him, but also gave him accusing looks. Oh, I forgot, Chen Yu Ying and Qu Wanqiu also have tongues and need to breathe. I inadvertently caused area-of-effect damage, and they were collateral damage. It took thirty seconds of ads before Lin Li could respawn. By now, the slowly rotating Ferris wheel had reached its highest point, and Lin Li resumed his role as the group’s handyman. Now and then, he joined in, leaving traces on his phone. After taking photos, the four of them each guarded a corner of the window, watching the outside world. "This is the sightseeing train meant for kids, it’s so cute," Chen Yu Ying said to everyone while taking pictures. Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu came over following her words. After expressing their admiration and discovering that the little train was restricted to children aged 3-12, they gave up the idea of riding it later. "Class Rep, trolley problem: Lin Li ties five innocent kids to the trolley tracks, and an out-of-control sightseeing train is heading towards them, about to run them over any second. Fortunately, you can pull a lever to switch the trolley to another track, but the problem is, Lin Li has tied one child to the other track. In this scenario, would you pull the lever?" Lin Li’s thoughts differed slightly from the girls, so he asked. "Lin Li is too wicked!" Ding Sihan commented upon hearing it. Chen Yu Ying thought for a moment and softly said, "I used to think about it, and I figured I wouldn’t do anything." "Same as my choice," Lin Li nodded, then looked at Ding Sihan. "I would pull..." "That’s not what I wanted to ask," Lin Li shook his head. "Then what are you asking?" Ding Sihan was somewhat wary. "Ding Sihan, trolley problem: right now, no one is on the tracks, would you be willing to lay down and be the observer?" Lin Li inquired. Ding Sihan: "?" "Why does it suddenly become this kind of question for me? I’m not willing at all!" Ding Sihan kicked Lin Li’s leg. Lin Li nodded and then turned to the even more cautious Qu Wanqiu: "Qu Wanqiu, trolley problem: Lin Li ties five Ding Sihans to one trolley track, and on another track, there’s only one Qu Wanqiu. An out-of-control little train comes, and you have a remote that can make the train accelerate, super accelerate, or invincibly accelerate, what would you do?" Qu Wanqiu: "?" "Why am I always the one lying there! Where did these five of me come from? And why aren’t there any options where I survive? Lin Li, I’m angry! I’m going to push you off right now!" Ding Sihan was extremely furious! This was blatant targeting! Qu Wanqiu seriously thought about it and sincerely asked, "If I press all three buttons, does it become super invincible acceleration?" Ding Sihan: "?" "Of course!" Lin Li gave a thumbs up. "Then I’ll press them all! A hundred times! One! Hundred! Times!" Qu Wanqiu, who clearly had a hearty meal, said with assertiveness. Ding Sihan: "!" "Wanqiu! You can go free fall too!" Chen Yu Ying watched this scene with a laugh. She was silently grateful that once the Ferris wheel started, the interior couldn’t be opened, or she would witness two murders. ... Fifteen minutes flew by in the blink of an eye. Those below the Ferris wheel hated how slowly it turned, while those on it felt it spun too fast. The setting sun stretched the shadows of the four. No one was lining up for the Ferris wheel anymore. In Pingjiang Amusement Park, a melodious tune began to play, reminding everyone that the park was closing and no more projects would accept queues. "Let’s go back to the bus," said Lin Li, reviving after a sixty-second ad, leisurely walking toward the exit with his hands behind his head. "Yeah, okay," Chen Yu Ying followed behind, nodding. She then looked back at the gradually stopping rides, feeling a bit sentimental: "I wonder when we’ll be this happy again like today." "Tomorrow," Lin Li continued walking, casually replying. The afternoon breeze blew by, pressing a few strands of ink-black hair against the girl’s cheek. Chen Yu Ying paused for a moment at Lin Li’s words, looked at his back, then smiled brightly: "Yeah, tomorrow."
