Chapter 957 - 443: Is It Really That Hard to Sleep in Class? (Part 3)
"...No problem." The man scratched his head.He was here to pick up his child, but these three students stopped his car and the leading boy asked him to take them for a ride around the school.
He originally didn’t want to agree, as it would complicate things, but his son in the passenger seat agreed on his behalf, so he just went along with it.
After Lin Li and the others left, the man turned to his son in the passenger seat, "Do you know them?"
"Nope." The boy shook his head.
"Then why did you let me take them for a ride?" The man was even more puzzled.
"Well, there’s a classmate I met today,"
The boy puckered his lips, recalling his classmate’s warning and the finger-pointing after the exam earlier, he couldn’t help but looked at his father and passed on the warning:
"The leading student from South First Middle School, his name is Bai Bufan... If we don’t do as he wishes... terrible things might happen."
Man: "(;☉_☉)?"
...
The three of them got off and headed to the noodle shop across the street.
Unaware that his fame had improved, Bai Bufan looked at Lin Li amused,
"Lin Li, what if Uncle Chen really agreed to give us a ride?"
"Well then we’d just get in," Lin Li said nonchalantly, "My house is pretty big, and meals aren’t confined to the school gate, we can eat and then take a cab back to school, can’t we?"
"Hiss, that’s really both an attack and a retreat then," Bai Bufan realized, nodding in approval, looking at Lin Li with praise, "Lin Li, you know how to tease people."
"Tease people? I’m just trying to lighten up the mood, didn’t you see Uncle Chen also laughed in the end."
"That was a laugh out of anger, wasn’t it."
"It’s only that he doesn’t know yet, wait till the day he finds out, Tianming you just watch, Lin Li will strike with the most humble and flattering posture." Bai Bufan joked.
"Flattering? No way." Although Lin Li thought that once Chen Zhongping knew the truth, he would feel guilty facing him, but this didn’t hinder his boast:
"How does knowing the truth matter? Would I avoid his sharpness? I’d make a chic promise: ’Your wife and daughter, I’ll take care of them for you, worry not!’ Then Uncle Chen will surely be touched and comforted."
Chen Tianming, Bai Bufan: "?"
Cao Cao, when did he come?
"That’s not the way to use this phrase." Bai Bufan laughed and cursed.
"What’s the matter? Isn’t it quite reasonable?" Lin Li retorted.
"Alright, when you say it, call me over, if you actually say it, I’ll call you dad." Bai Bufan didn’t refute further.
Bai Bufan felt Lin Li was the type who, when chatting with Chen Yu Ying at her home using the idiom "a dog flaunting its master’s power," would suddenly choke when Chen Zhongping happened to walk by and hear "dog flaunting" then curiously ask Lin Li "Are you talking about me?" and Lin Li would just smoothly say the remaining part "master’s power."
After dinner, the three returned to the classroom to tidy up the mess left behind after being used as the exam hall.
"I specifically placed this week’s math test paper at the top in the drawer, but the student sitting at my spot didn’t bother doing it for me? Taking out the test paper from the drawer, Bai Bufan said regrettably:
"I even wrote on the first page ’Dude, could you help me fill it in, 90% accuracy is fine,’ but nothing happened, such a waste of my feelings..."
"Were you making wishes here."
It was already past five after dinner, they bantered and joked for a while, and evening self-study quickly began.
The bell for evening self-study seemed like a succubus sucking energy, although Bai Bufan was joking in the back row seconds ago, he immediately withered.
He achieved a three-second good time in the competition of resisting yawning.
After confirming that Xue Jian hadn’t arrived yet, Bai Bufan rubbed his eyes and reminded Lin Li:
"I’m so sleepy, I’ll take a nap, Lin Li, call me when the teacher comes, this time you can’t betray me, remember, I’ve given you my name."
"I have to go to the competition tutoring later." Lin Li glanced at Bai Bufan who was already lying down, and said lightly.
The preliminary result wouldn’t be out in a few hours, but regardless of whether he made it or not, listening to the teacher explaining the exam paper at least meant dying with clarity.
"Oh right, then what do I do..." Bai Bufan frowned upon hearing.
Asking the students ahead is impossible.
Huang Yi and Zhou Jiana, the two students in front, Bai Bufan felt they didn’t like his and Lin Li’s personalities and styles, because apart from passing homework, they hardly had any interactions.
The front row was unreliable, and his desk mate was out, the only person he could rely on was Bao Wei to the right.
But how should one describe Bao Wei, when he concentrated on homework or other things, his awareness and control over his surroundings were like the husband in an adult film—the kind who, upon calling his wife and finding her panting, would be informed she was climbing mountains with a male colleague at night, yet could still responsibly remind her to be careful and let her know that he wouldn’t be joining the climb but could join for supper afterwards.
Letting such a Bao Wei be responsible for waking him when Xue Jian arrives, he feared that by the time Xue Jian picked him up out of the classroom, Bao Wei wouldn’t even realize Xue Jian had arrived.
Lin Li noticed Bai Bufan’s dilemma and decided to point out a way: "I have a solution."
"What?" Bai Bufan looked at Lin Li expectantly, Lin Li indeed had many ideas.
Lin Li reached into his pocket and then took out a bottle of eye drops and handed it to Bai Bufan:
"As a competent high school student, you should be able to sleep sitting up, right? Actually, lying down also works, as long as you expose your eyes.
Hold this bottle of eye drops conspicuously as you fall asleep.
If Bao Wei and Ze Yu notice Xue Jian in advance and wake you up, that’s naturally the best.
But if they don’t, it’s fine, as long as you keep your hand on the desk, even if Xue Jian wakes you, you can directly say you just applied eye drops and are now resting."
Bai Bufan: "(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧!"
To hear this piece of advice is like reading ten years of books!
F*ck, Bai Bufan felt that if Lin Li had been his desk mate in middle school, he wouldn’t even get into high school.
"Master, I’ve got it!"
