CHAPTER 1075: CHAPTER 504: TRUE FRIENDS ARE HARD TO FIND!

"The rain is getting heavier..."

Lin Yi sighed silently, judging from this, he absolutely had to brave the abnormal weather and rush to the dormitory later...

In fact, as early as 18:00, he had glanced out the window, and when he saw that the rain showed no sign of letting up, he already felt something was wrong.

[This school is built in the suburbs. If you encounter rainy or foggy weather on campus, ignore rule number 4, and seek the nearest building to take shelter as quickly as possible. Leave when the weather returns to normal.]

Rushing through the rain clearly violated this basic rule of the "Student Code," but there was no choice. He no longer belonged to the category of people who needed to strictly adhere to the rules.

Lin Yi adjusted his mindset, then took a deep breath, looked at Wei Liang beside him, and asked softly, "Liangzi...?"

Wei Liang was buried in his new book and had no intention of paying attention to him.

"Liangzi?" Lin Yi called again, and seeing no response, he reached out and shook Wei Liang.

But just when he was about to shake Wei Liang over, Wei Liang finally reacted, somewhat displeased, and withdrew his gaze from "The 26-year-old Female Tenant of Hokkaido": "What is it? I’m studying other people’s art style!"

Studying the damn style of H-manga... Lin Yi thought to himself, then asked, "The rain is really heavy now, I mean... this abnormal weather is quite severe. Are you sure you want to go back to the dorm with me later?"

"What else can I do?" Wei Liang retorted, "I brought you here, so I have to take you back. Abnormal weather is just abnormal weather. At most, we’ll wear a few more raincoats, endure until the dormitory, and then take a quick shower! Besides, without me, Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial, can you and Wei Sang really get back to the dormitory on your own?"

Lin Yi was deeply touched when he heard this: "Liangzi, I knew you’d have a way!"

"Cut it out... no bromance hugs!" Seeing Lin Yi almost about to embrace him, Wei Liang quickly pushed him away, grimacing, "I meant, I’d definitely pray for you with all my heart!"

"Uh... just praying?" Lin Yi was taken aback.

"It’s heartfelt praying! Pay attention to this ’heartfelt’, I used a buff to help you." Wei Liang calmly replied without turning red.

But Lin Yi looked a bit strange: "Will this buff... actually work?"

Wei Liang couldn’t hold back anymore and said speechlessly, "Why are you looking at me like that? Otherwise, what could I do, do you want to see me don a robe and pull out pen, ink, paper, and sword, or see me take out a transformation device and armor fusion, or whip out a Beta magic wand to ’wash socks’? If I had such superpower, would I still not go save the world for profit like a flamboyant Tony Big Pile, taking you along for a hard-earned 30k in seven days?"

Lin Yi thought to himself, never mind armor fusion, at this bizarre time node, I actually wouldn’t mind if you were Magical Card Boy Bright.

But he still didn’t say anything, because no matter what Wei Liang said, he chose to trust Wei Liang.

Trust in Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial.

It seemed Wei Liang was moved by this gaze of unconditional trust from Lin Yi, and his mouth twitched hard: "Hey, don’t give me trouble, Old Lin, I’m the one hanging onto your leg here..."

"Same difference, doesn’t make a difference." Lin Yi smiled, and with that, he stopped pretending, directly gathering up the books he had at hand.

"I’m going to return these books, okay? Do you have any books you want me to return for you?"

"How gracious, Old Lin!" As soon as Wei Liang heard this, he grinned and gathered up "The 26-year-old Female Tenant of Hokkaido" himself, pushing the rest onto Lin Yi, "I’ll return this after I finish it, the rest is up to you."

"Okay then." Lin Yi didn’t hesitate. Although there were quite a few books, he simply picked them up and headed for the bookshelf area.

The time was getting late, and he planned to return them before going to find Class Teacher-040 in Teacher’s Office "Group B, Class 2" to say goodbye.

The reason he planned to be a bit ahead of 20:00 was that he didn’t know what kind of bizarre creatures he might encounter when he opened the door to the classroom.

He’d experienced short distances taking several minutes to walk before too.

...

Seeing Lin Yi moving, Jin Jiuyao not far away also got moving.

"I’m going to return some books too." Jin Jiuyao said, picking up those Yin Books, and headed toward the bookshelf area.

"’Too’?" Chen Xue was startled, quickly noticing Lin Yi’s movement, and hurriedly followed Jin Jiuyao, "Don’t mess around!"

"Mess around with what, I’m just returning some books!" Jin Jiuyao said carelessly, but never took his eyes off Lin Yi.

Lin Yi perceived Jin Jiuyao’s actions and, from his conversation with Lu Zhao, knew what he was planning, so he returned books while selecting new ones on the bookshelves.

Jin Jiuyao used the pretense of returning books, gradually closing in on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi returned books while casually grabbing some from the shelf.

Logically speaking, if he didn’t catch Lu Zhao’s conversation, should he encounter someone trying to read those highly contaminated books, he would typically ignore them.

After all, your life and death have nothing to do with me, but it’s different now. Lu Zhao and the rest were too curious about him and Wei Liang.

Especially that Jin Jiuyao, he could feel a bizarre fanaticism from Jin Jiuyao toward him, which he couldn’t quite tell if it was like some twisted star-chasing mentality, or like wanting to destroy the things he kept probing due to a collapsed mentality...

In any case, that odd sense of pursuit made him feel he had become some sort of target for Jin Jiuyao.

The one who had a similar feeling was Lu Zhao, but even though Lu Zhao had warned many times, he could still feel that Jin Jiuyao hadn’t taken Lu Zhao’s words to heart.
