Chapter 54
It's been a month since school started.
Lin Li lay on the table, wailing in despair.
It's been a month since school started, and Tong Yao is focused solely on studying; she's even skipped mealtimes altogether.
When I'm hungry, I just nibble on a couple of pieces of bread.
He dared not casually step into the domain of the top students in Class 1.
All I could do was stand at the window and glare resentfully at someone.
Tong Yao naturally sensed it. She pursed her lips, turned her head, and said a few words to her deskmate.
Then my deskmate stood up and walked to the window.
Then, under Lin Li's incredulous gaze, the curtains were pulled shut with a "whoosh".
Lin Liming realized this in Tong Yao's heart at this moment.
Studying was her top priority!
Zhou Mingfang, the girl who was first in her grade, was second.
I must be a hundred and eight thousand miles away...
She was studying...studying, but he didn't dare to delay her studies, so he could only return to the classroom with a sullen face.
Lin Li groaned in her seat, and Luo Yan turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Over the past month, their relationship has improved considerably, perhaps because Luo Yan discovered that Lin Li's grades were quite good.
After all, if Lin Li didn't wear glasses, she wouldn't look like a good student at all; instead, she would look like a bad student.
Lin Li rubbed his scalp, feeling the texture of the buzz cut.
After classes officially started, his homeroom teacher, Chen Xiaoyan, "escorted" him to get a buzz cut. Not long after the haircut, Tong Yao even fell in love with the feel of it and would touch his head from time to time.
The two were sweet for less than a week before Tong Yao started focusing solely on her studies.
When Luo Yan asked him a question, he confessed, "She's ignoring me!"
"That girl from Class One?"
"Um."
Luo Yan turned her head away and stopped talking, focusing on the diary in her hands.
Just then, a boy stood at the door with a basketball and shouted inside, "Lin Li! Want to play basketball?"
Huang Wen, the physical education class representative, is also his roommate. The two of them often play basketball on the playground.
Lin Li needed to vent, so she stood up abruptly.
Let's go!
After Lin Li left, Luo Yan turned her head to look at Lin Li's back, her eyelashes trembling, then put her notebook into the drawer and followed him.
_
On the basketball court, Lin Li played 2v2 against Huang Wen and two other boys from Class 2. He scored with a beautiful step-back jump shot, drawing a murmur of cheers from the sidelines.
"I'm not playing anymore! I'm exhausted!" Lin Li waved his hand, panting heavily, drenched in sweat. He subconsciously lifted the hem of his T-shirt to wipe his sweat, instantly exposing his abs to the air, prompting whispers from the girls around him.
Huang Wen slapped him: "You don't uphold male virtues!"
Lin Li choked, and looked around guiltily. Luckily, Tong Yao wasn't there.
Just then, a tall girl jogged over: "Hey, Lin Li, count me in!"
It's Pang Mingzhu, the girl I met on the subway.
She's from class 12 upstairs.
Class 12 was also known as the "class of connections." In the end, some students went abroad to get a degree, while others pursued arts and sports.
Pang Mingzhu is a volleyball prodigy, recruited through a special program.
She's quite tall, 175 cm. Lin Li once saw her wearing shorts, and her knees were covered in stretch marks.
He probably grew taller suddenly, just like he did in the second year of junior high.
However, his growth lines weren't as scary as hers.
Lin Li was on her way back to the dormitory after school when she bumped into the two of them. They had become acquainted over their back-and-forth.
This guy would play basketball with them from time to time, and today was no exception.
"I'm really not playing anymore, I'm exhausted, you guys have fun."
Lin Li waved goodbye to Pang Mingzhu, then turned and walked towards the classroom.
Seeing this, Pang Mingzhu quickly chased after them.
"I suddenly remembered I forgot something in the classroom, how about we go together?"
Lin Li ignored her and kept wiping her sweat.
This sweat flows like water, even if it's free.
Seeing this, Pang Mingzhu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Li.
Lin Li accepted it: "Thank you."
But their pace quickened.
Back in the stuffy classroom, Lin Li secretly took out his hidden universal remote control and pressed a button on the air conditioner!
The air conditioner was locked by the homeroom teacher and could only be operated by remote control; she forbade Lin Li from turning it on without permission.
Lin Li hugged the air conditioner, feeling the cool breeze, and felt extremely comfortable.
I blew it for a little while.
Hearing footsteps at the door, he quickly turned off the air conditioner and pretended to be dead, lying face down on the table. He squinted and saw it was Luo Yan, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it's you! You scared me to death!"
He instructed, "Luo Yan, keep an eye on the teacher for me, I'm going to continue for a while."
Luo Yan glared at him angrily: "Don't bother me!"
He was too lazy to ponder this person's unpredictable temper, and his mind started to wander again, so he strolled over to the door of Class One.
Tong Yao was the only one in the classroom. Thanks to a month of intense studying, she had ranked second in the class in the monthly exam and was now enjoying the tranquility after her victory, continuing to work on her practice problems.
This was a rare opportunity! Lin Li, emboldened, ran back to her own class, grabbed an empty stool, and quietly sat down next to Tong Yao. Then, like a big cat seeking comfort, she rubbed her prickly buzz cut against Tong Yao's arm.
With her sweaty hair rubbing against her skin, Tong Yao suddenly slammed down her pen with a sharp "smack".
Lin Li immediately chickened out, quickly sat up straight, and frantically pulled tissues from her pocket to wipe away the evidence.
"You've gotten bolder?" Tong Yao glanced at him and said coldly.
"I missed you!" Lin Li immediately put on a pitiful expression, looking at her with teary eyes.
Lin Li straightened up and glanced at the air conditioner behind her: "Can you turn on the air conditioner?"
Tong Yao said, "Okay."
Lin Li: "Then can I blow it for a while?"
"Please! I'm dying of heat!"
Tong Yao shook her head in refusal, which showed that Lin Li was indeed unbearably hot, and also knew that Lin Li had secretly turned on the air conditioner in her class and had been reported and punished.
She thought for a moment, then took a test paper out of her desk drawer and folded it in half.
Then she personally fanned him.
"Do you want to get punished again? I'll fan you, listen to me."
Tong Yao petted this dog gently for the first time, and the effect was surprisingly good.
Lin Li sat obediently on the bench without moving.
10 seconds later.
"Alright, get lost."
Tong Yao lowered her head and began to study.
Ten seconds was enough for him to walk out of the classroom feeling refreshed.
"Your stool!" Tong Yao reminded him without looking up.
Lin Li went back, picked up the stool, took a look, and then secretly hid behind the air conditioner in their classroom.
Tong Yao was engrossed in her studies and didn't notice Lin Li's subtle actions.
_
Lin Li hummed a little tune as she returned to her class.
Seeing Lin Li's happy expression, Luo Yan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Not long ago, Luo Yan was still throwing a tantrum at Lin Li, but now she's back to normal.
This kind of situation often happens in their relationship, and Lin Li has gotten used to it.
He sat in his seat, his eyes narrowed with a smile, like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish.
“I won’t tell you!” he refused in a clear voice.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan's expression froze, then she lowered her head and continued writing in her diary.
_
After school, Lin Li stood at the entrance of Class 1, gazing at his wife like a stone, but Tong Yao only needed one look to make him slump his shoulders—she had to study again tonight and wouldn't go back to the dormitory with him.
Lin Li sighed and walked back. Luo Yan followed him again, holding her sketchbook and looking at it expectantly.
Lin Li was feeling down, so she gave a perfunctory "Yeah, looks good" and quickened her pace.
Luo Yan stopped in her tracks, watching his retreating figure, and gripped the edge of her sketchbook tightly.
Back in the boys' dormitory, the scene was even more "eye-catching"—the roommates were running around in their underwear.
Lin Li inwardly groaned: If only I could have been in the same class and dormitory as Tong Yao in my past life, then I could have seen... Stop!
He quickly slapped himself to shake off the dangerous thought, took out dumbbells and started exercising. A good physique needs to be maintained. Since it's inconvenient at school, he exercises about 2 to 3 times a week.
About 10 minutes later.
Huang Wen opened the door, looked at Lin Li standing in the dormitory doing the "flying bird" pose, and complained, "Does it have to be so curly!"
Lin Li, panting, put the dumbbells back in their original positions.
Turning to look at the only roommate who was dressed, I nodded with relief. Fortunately, there was still one normal person in this dormitory.
He ignored Huang Wen's words, opened the wardrobe, took out a change of clothes, and went into the bathroom on the balcony.
After a splash of water, Lin Li pulled a bath towel from the door and dried herself off.
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps grew closer and closer.
"bump!"
With a loud bang, the bathroom door of Lin Li began to loosen, and then with a crash, the entire door panel fell outwards.
Lin Li quickly wrapped a bath towel around her lower body and went outside.
"Wang Yu, Liu Jie, that's enough!"
Two boys, wearing only their underwear, started wrestling.
Lin Li turned her head to look at the broken door panel.
As the dormitory head, he's going to get scolded again!
Seeing that they were still fighting, Lin Li got so angry that she smashed the door panel.
The two then separated.
Wang Yu and Liu Jie got up from the ground and looked at Lin Li's figure, and were immediately surprised and gasped.
"Holy crap, how did you train him, Godfather!"
Feeling disgusted, Lin Li grabbed her clothes and crawled into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
Then I got dressed and came out.
The two of them were already kneeling on the ground, looking like they were begging for guidance.
Lin Li felt that he was already shameless enough, so why did he need two more shameless people!
He ignored the two people and instead lifted the door panel off the ground and placed it against the wall.
"Find a way yourself and find someone to fix the bathroom door."
After saying that, she turned around and got into bed.
Wang Yu and Liu Jie knelt on the ground, looking at each other, their minds still filled with the image of Lin Li walking out of the steam with her upper body naked.
"Wow, that's so cool!"
_
A few days later, the bathroom door was repaired. Lin Li also began coaching his roommates at the gym. Little did they know, rumors about his physique were quietly spreading throughout the grade.
That day.
In the classroom, Tong Yao vaguely heard the girls in the front row whispering excitedly:
"Have you heard? There's a guy in Class 5 who's got a really great physique!"
"..."
A few days later, the topic went further and further astray:
"I heard that if a guy doesn't have armpit hair, he also has..."
"Huh—"
Tong Yao paused in turning the pages, her ears involuntarily turning red, and certain images uncontrollably flashed through her mind, causing her to turn the pages louder and louder.
Lin Li was completely unaware of this, let alone that the rumors were becoming increasingly outrageous, even evolving into a massive "rumor."
That day.
Lin Li, wearing a basketball vest, was sweating it out on the basketball court as usual.
He always felt like countless eyes were glued to him, and when he turned around, the group of girls all looked away.
He scratched his head, ready to continue, when the feeling of being watched returned, sending chills down his spine.
He tossed the basketball to Huang Wen: "I'm not playing anymore."
Then, he picked up his school uniform, which had fallen to the ground, and walked towards the teaching building.
The girls outside the basketball court were still chattering away.
"Did you see that? When he jumped up just now!"
"Yucheng Experimental First Cannon!"
"A junior in the first year of high school?"
"It truly lives up to its reputation!"
-
He sneaked up to the classroom door, skillfully took out the stool he had hidden, and sat down next to Tong Yao.
I habitually complained of the heat and waited for her "hand-cranked fan service".
However, today, Tong Yao turned her head, but her gaze involuntarily drifted to his armpit...
Lin Li followed her gaze and immediately her alarm bells went off!
Could it be—
He immediately picked up the stool, shoved it back into its place, and ran away without looking back, leaving Tong Yao completely bewildered.
On his way back to the classroom, Lin Li thought: This woman wants to tickle him again!
