Chapter 14
"Tong Yao..." His voice was weak as he gently tugged at Tong Yao's clothes and deliberately swayed.
Tong Yao turned around and, seeing his expression, asked:
"What’s wrong with you?"
"It might be...it might be a case of low blood sugar."
Lin Li lowered her eyes, her voice slightly breathy, putting on a convincing act.
Tong Yao quickly took the bottle of mineral water he hadn't finished drinking from, unscrewed it, and handed it to him:
"Then quickly drink some water to calm down?"
Lin Li glanced at the bottle of water out of the corner of his eye and sneered inwardly. He wouldn't drink water that a dog had brought him, even if the dog had drunk from it.
She tugged at Tong Yao's sleeve again, her tone softening further:
"Drinking plain water won't help with low blood sugar..."
"Shall I help you to the infirmary and give you some sugar water?" Tong Yao frowned, because Lin Li had indeed fainted from low blood sugar last time, so she didn't doubt him and her tone was full of worry.
"No~" Lin Li immediately shook her head, drawing out her words in a coquettish tone, "Sugar water doesn't taste good at all."
What would you like to drink?
Lin Li's gaze quickly swept toward the convenience store not far away, then he took out a crumpled five-yuan note from his pocket, handed it to Tong Yao, and said expectantly, "I want to drink an iced cola~ Buy it for me."
As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Yu, who stood beside him with a livid expression, and returned an even more provocative smile.
This afternoon, while watching the TV series "You Are the Apple of My Eye," he remembered what the male lead said at the female lead's wedding in the finale.
How could someone who truly loves another genuinely wish them well? In his past life, he was too foolish, too afraid to fight for anything, and could only watch Tong Yao walk away. In this life, he'll do it differently! So what if Cheng Yu is a girl?
In this life, he will only fight and snatch. He not only wants to become Tong Yao's future boyfriend, but also her best friend. No one can take her away from him!
Seeing the sly glint in Lin Li's eyes and then at his "weak" appearance, Tong Yao immediately understood, and her worried expression vanished instantly. She slapped away the five yuan Lin Li offered her: "It's just sugar water, don't drink it."
Lin Li hadn't yet noticed the change in Tong Yao's tone.
"Drink! I'll drink!" Lin Li immediately changed her mind, her voice growing even weaker. "I'm so dizzy, I can barely stand... Tong Yao, can you help me to the infirmary?"
Tong Yao didn't expose his clumsy acting skills, but turned to Cheng Yu beside her and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'll take Lin Li to the infirmary. You can go back to class first!"
Medical room.
The teacher isn't here; she's on duty on the playground now. It's just Lin Li and Tong Yao here.
Tong Yao skillfully prepared the sugar water and handed it to Lin Li.
Lin Li took it and sipped it slowly, glancing at Tong Yao every now and then.
"All done?" Tong Yao asked Lin Li calmly.
Feeling Tong Yao's gaze, he immediately stood up straight.
Lin Li felt that she had probably been exposed.
He laughed and said, "Thanks to this sugar water, I felt much better after just one sip. Who says sugar water doesn't taste good? It's delicious!"
He gulped down several large mouthfuls while saying this.
Tong Yao simply sighed and did not expose Lin Li.
…………
"Ring ring ring".
School was over, but Lin Li couldn't leave yet.
He had to stay and sweep the floor.
"Yaoyao, let's go!"
Cheng Yu, carrying her schoolbag, walked out arm in arm with Tong Yao.
Before leaving, Tong Yao glanced back at Lin Li, but she didn't say anything.
Lin Li understood what she meant, and with a smile, she picked up the broom and said, "See you tomorrow."
At Cheng Yu's home.
"Yaoyao, let me cut your bangs first!"
...
Lin Li had no idea what they had done together yesterday.
All I know is that the next day at school, I saw Tong Yao walk in with a haircut that looked like it had been chewed by a dog.
Tong Yao looked at Lin Li's hesitant expression.
Touching her new hairstyle, she tentatively asked, "What? Doesn't it look good?"
Lin Li gave an awkward laugh: "How could that be? It looks good, it just doesn't quite suit you. Which hair salon did you go to? Tell me so I can avoid it."
"Really? I didn't go to a hair salon, Cheng Yu cut my hair."
"She cut it?" Lin Li's voice instantly rose.
How dare she? A complete novice hairdresser comes in and immediately cuts someone's hair short.
Give me back my long-haired, aloof, academic genius!!
Lin Li's gaze toward Cheng Yu was filled with murderous intent.
Cheng Yu, however, was completely oblivious and continued to sit in her seat, tricking the other students into being guinea pigs.
Tang Yue arrived a little late today, just as she entered the classroom.
Then I saw Tong Yao with her hair all chewed up, and I burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, class monitor, who cut your hair? It's hilarious."
Seeing Tong Yao's increasingly embarrassed expression,
Lin Li quickly kicked Tang Yue and gave her a wink.
Tang Yue understood and immediately stopped smiling. "Tong Yao, this hairstyle might not suit you."
Then he rummaged in his pocket and put two strawberry hair clips on Tong Yao's desk.
"I'll help you with the modifications, you don't mind, do you?"
Tong Yao said, "It's okay, you do it."
Tang Yue used a hair clip to clip Tong Yao's choppy bangs upwards, and then clipped the hair near Tong Yao's ears behind her ears.
Then he took out a small mirror and handed it to Tong Yao to look at.
"That's much better."
Tong Yao looked at herself in the mirror and fell silent.
"Ring ring ring"
As Tang Yue heard the school bell ring, she put the mirror in her pocket and said, "I'm leaving. Here, take the clip as my apology for what I just did."
After Tang Yue left, Tong Yao turned to look at Lin Li.
Is it really that ugly?
Lin Li coughed. "It's not ugly, it just doesn't suit you. I know a hair salon with really good skills. I can take you there to try it out tomorrow since it's a holiday."
"Um."
Tong Yao silently opened her workbook.
The first period is a self-study period; the sports meet only starts after class ends.
Lin Li used this class to memorize vocabulary.
“personal”
Who made Ping'er?
“product”
"Broken and dead"
...
Tong Yao was working on her chemistry exam when she heard Lin Li speaking English in a strong dialect, and a vein throbbed on her forehead.
Turning his head, he said, "Read it carefully!"
"oh."
Lin Li read for a while and then found it boring.
He turned to look at Tong Yao.
Her bangs were clipped up, revealing her delicate face.
Actually, she's quite cute. Lin Li laughed out loud as he looked at her. It was the first time he had ever seen Tong Yao so adorable.
Hearing Lin Li's laughter, Tong Yao clenched her pen.
He turned his head and said quietly, "Have you finished the test paper I gave you?"
Lin Li touched her nose. "I've finished writing."
Tong Yao held out her hand, gesturing for Lin Li to hand over the test paper, and said in an unquestionable manner:
"examine."
Lin Li is not lying; he did indeed write it.
He opened his schoolbag, took out the test paper, and placed it in front of Tong Yao.
"I wrote it all down."
Tong Yao ignored him, took out a red pen from her pencil case, took out the answers, and began grading the papers.
The first one is all correct.
The second one is all correct.
"Impressive, right? Don't bother changing it, it's all correct, there's no need."
Tong Yao snorted coldly and didn't stop.
The seventh page was completely blank for the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions; I only wrote a few answers for the essay questions at the back.
Tong Yao put down her pen, looked at Lin Li, and raised an eyebrow, her meaning clear.
"The earlier ones were too easy, I'll just do the later, more difficult ones."
Lin Li touched her nose and explained.
"Finish it." Tong Yao tore off the seventh paper and handed it to Lin Li, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Lin Li took the test paper and glanced at Tong Yao.
Tong Yao was still tearing up the test papers; he had quite a few papers left unfinished.
"Don't just do the long-answer questions; you also need to do the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions."
"The final exam in the second year of junior high school was very easy. I finished it in half an hour and handed it in."
"I usually get full marks on the difficult tests, but I only got 145 on that test."
"It was because I got one fill-in-the-blank question wrong. That question was relatively new and not difficult. I didn't look at it carefully and used the wrong method. Later, when I was reviewing the papers, I found a similar fill-in-the-blank question on another paper, but I didn't answer it because it looked too easy. If I hadn't ignored it because it looked too easy, I wouldn't have lost those 5 points."
...
Enough, stop pretending, it's too Versailles.
Lin Li remembers that exam; it was indeed very easy.
However, he only scored 56 points at that time.
Lin Li didn't seem to care.
Tong Yao paused, then continued, "What if it wasn't the final exam, but the middle school entrance exam, or even the college entrance exam?..."
Seeing that Tong Yao was about to say something, Lin Li quickly stopped her, indicating that he knew he was wrong.
Why is she talking so much today! This is the first time Lin Li has ever seen Tong Yao speak so much in one breath, without even taking a breath...
"I made a mistake, class monitor, I'll fix it right away."
Lin Li quickly grabbed a pen and started working on the test paper.
Seeing this, Tong Yao's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and then she continued to write on her chemistry test paper.
…………
Today is the last day of the sports meet.
Lin Li didn't have a match in the morning. Tong Yao was dragged to the podium to read a speech, so Lin Li pulled Tang Yue and Li Jiahao and a few others to play cards in the small garden on the playground.
He had a very good luck; he won almost every game.
It was afternoon.
Lin Li only has one event: shot put.
Lin Li has been doing push-ups a lot lately, and he thinks he should be able to throw them.
He was very weak in his past life; he only threw the shot put 2 meters in the physical education test for middle school, so he naturally failed.
Before the competition, Tong Yao looked at Lin Li's arm, wondering if it had healed from the beating the PE teacher had given her last time.
"Lin Li, is your hand better?" she asked.
"It's all done, it's been done for a while," Lin Li replied.
As he spoke, he took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves to show Tong Yao.
The first thing you see is Lin Li's firm arm muscles; his recent push-ups have definitely paid off.
The lines of his abdominal muscles are clearer. Lin Li counted them and found that he only has six abs, not eight.
Actually, Lin Li didn't understand that six-pack abs are the most attractive, while eight-pack abs are a bit too crowded and not aesthetically pleasing.
"I've been exercising a lot lately," Lin Li said, starting to do bicep curls to make her biceps more defined.
"Want to touch it?"
"No!" Tong Yao refused decisively and forcefully.
The air went silent for a second.
What is he doing?
Lin Li then realized how greasy her behavior had just been.
Do muscles control the brain?
"Number 6, Lin Li."
The PE teacher's voice rang out.
It was his turn.
Lin Li walked over, stood in the circle, and picked up the bag of lime from the ground.
After getting lime powder on his hands, he picked up the shot put at his feet.
Gathering strength.
It spun around in place once, then suddenly threw it out.
"9m"
Lin Li blinked. It's good, it's better than my previous life.
A typical junior high school boy throws about 8 meters, so his ability to throw 9 meters is already above average.
A second chance.
Lin Li threw 8 meters; in this kind of sport, the first time usually yields the best result.
The match is over.
"First place: Liu Xing, 10m."
"Second place: Xu Kai, 9.8m."
"No...."
"Fourth place: Lin Li, 9m."
Liu Xing? Isn't that the guy who played guitar at the opening ceremony? Lin Li didn't expect this boy to look so gentle and refined, yet possess such terrifying skills. He's only in the second year of junior high, right? He could go on to pursue a professional career in the future.
………………
The sports meet has ended.
In the classroom, Liu Hongli was tallying the week's conduct scores.
Lin Li crossed his arms, very happy, because he had won awards in both of his projects, and had just accumulated 80 points, so he wouldn't have to sweep the floor anymore.
Finally, Liu Hongli announced, "Lin Li's conduct score is zero, so she doesn't need to sweep the floor anymore."
The next second.
"Teacher! I want to report this."
Seriously? Are you ever going to stop?
Lin Li looked at Cheng Yu in shock.
"During the sports meet today, I saw Lin Li playing cards with Tang Yue and the others. According to the class rules, each of them would have 20 points deducted."
Because playing cards involves gambling, the school strictly prohibits it and deducts the most points.
This way.
Tang Yue was chatting with Chen Yan and the others downstairs when she heard that she had been suddenly called out. She immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up angrily: "I'm a plant, Cheng Yu, you little brat, I've put up with you for a long time, you don't know what's good for you, do you?"
Cheng Yu, hands on her hips, retorted, "Who are you cursing?"
"You've been reflecting on your actions for two days and you've forgotten your brain? I'm cursing you, you two-faced little bastard."
Upon hearing Tang Yue swear, Liu Hongli slammed her book onto the lectern, making a loud noise.
The classroom fell silent instantly, with only Liu Hongli's angry roar echoing in the air.
The students in the next class heard it: "Holy crap, who made Abbess Miejue angry?"
"Tang Yue! Your mouth stinks, huh! You believe I'll go to the bathroom right now and get a toilet brush to rinse your mouth?"
Lin Li sat below, completely dumbfounded.
My jaw dropped; Sister Tang is amazing.
Before she knew it, Lin Li started clapping.
The sound of the slap was particularly jarring in the quiet classroom.
Liu Hongli glanced at Lin Li: "Is it something to be proud of? Starting next week, you and Tang Yue will stand at the door during class."
"And Cheng Yu, you don't need to worry about conduct points anymore, leave that to Tong Yao."
After saying that, Liu Hongli rubbed her brows, seemingly quite angry.
"Alright, school's out."
After Liu Hongli walked out of the classroom, the previously quiet classroom erupted in applause.
The applause is for Tang Yue.
Everyone had been putting up with Cheng Yu for a long time, but they couldn't get rid of her. Unexpectedly, Tang Yue stood up today and went down with Cheng Yu, allowing them to completely break free from Cheng Yu's rule.
"Sister Tang is so kind and righteous."
"He's a wolf-killer."
"admire!"
After being stripped of her management authority, Cheng Yu slumped dejectedly onto the table.
I guess she's crying?
Who cares?
