CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 289 WHO KNOWS WHERE THIS THEOREM CAME FROM, FEELS LIKE IT’S FOR SALE_3

At this moment, Lin Li stopped pretending, instantly changing his expression, and directly side-kicked Bai Bufan’s butt, jokingly cursing:

"You idiot, Bai Bufan, what the hell were you studying this morning? Is that how you use proof by contradiction? Proof by contradiction = it won’t work anyway, right?"

"Just tell me if I’m right or not?"

"Well, since the equation’s been five cents per try, what else can I say, I’ll just go along with you."

"Hahaha, I can’t help it, man. When I’m solving math problems, my thoughts just scatter like that." Bai Bufan couldn’t hold back himself and responded, finding it funny.

"Alright, let’s go, time to eat."

"Let’s go."

...

The five of them still took two taxis and headed to the restaurant that Ding Sihan shared in the group chat. Lin Li and Bai Bufan arrived first.

It was apparent that the restaurant had a pretty good reputation because it was full of people inside, and two people were sitting on chairs outside on the street, likely waiting in line.

But Ding Sihan mentioned she had already made a reservation, so Lin Li went straight in.

"Hello, we’re currently full, and there’s a waiting line."

"We made a reservation, Ms. Ding called ahead."

"Oh, yes, I remember, it’s noted down. Could you please go to that table? It hasn’t been cleaned yet, please wait a moment," the reception pointed apologetically to a vacant but yet-to-be-cleared table.

Neither of them had a problem with this and walked over to the spot by the half-floor-to-ceiling window.

"There are only four chairs," Bai Bufan pointed out the number of chairs.

"I have an idea: if you place the chair normally, only one person can sit, but if you reverse it, four people can sit on the four legs. How about the two of us sit on one, and the three of them sit on the other three?" Lin Li, always full of ideas, suggested.

"Get lost!" Bai Bufan covered his butt which already sounded hurt, laughing and cursing, "Torture yourself but don’t torture me, just ask the waitress for another chair."

Bai Bufan waved to call a waiter but they seemed too busy to respond just then.

"Gotta do it yourself, self-reliance brings food and clothing," Lin Li stood up.

"Excuse me, miss, are you dining alone?"

Hearing such a corny and greasy pick-up line, the woman sitting at a long single-sided table by the wall frowned and turned her head.

But upon seeing Lin Li’s face, her frown immediately relaxed.

Remember, if the person hitting on you is handsome, it’s a delightful encounter; if they’re ugly, it’s a goblin’s harassment.

Especially since Lin Li looked very young, still a fresh face.

Quite the catch.

"Ah, yes, I’m here alone," the woman shyly brushed her hair back, already reaching for her phone, opening up her WeChat, and pulling up her QR code.

Her shyness abruptly ended when Lin Li happily thanked her and took the chair from beside her to go.

Eh?

Watching Lin Li’s cheerful departure, the woman slowly typed a question mark.

You weren’t hitting on me?

"Pingping, I’m back. Hey, where’s my chair?" Her friend returning from the bathroom froze, looking at the empty space.

When the woman noticed that Lin Li turned his head upon hearing her friend’s voice and seemed to hesitate whether to return the chair he’d just taken...

No longer typing a question mark but now an entire three-bedroom, one-living-room scenario.

The awkwardness brought goosebumps.

Instantly, she chose to get up, grabbing her friend’s arm and heading out, while lowering her voice in plea: "Let’s go! Let’s find another place to eat!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Don’t ask! Just go, please!"

Friend: "?"

...

"Should I not have taken that chair?" Lin Li asked Bai Bufan.

"Doesn’t matter now, they’ve already left," Bai Bufan laughed.

Very quickly, the car carrying Chen Yu Ying and the others arrived too.

With all five of them there and the table already cleared, they scanned the code to order.

"Thwack."

Lin Li smacked Bai Bufan’s outstretched hand with a chopstick, leaving it red.

"You’ve forgotten the rules again, haven’t you?" Lin Li said coldly.

"What? What did I do?" Bai Bufan looked confused.

"Don’t you understand the rule that the phone eats first?" Lin Li raised his chin.

"Oh, right, my bad."

Since Bai Bufan didn’t hang out much with girls his age, the last time being with this group, forgetting was understandable.

"’Oh right, my bad’ and it’s over? Bai Bufan, what’s your attitude?" Lin Li wouldn’t let him off, still coldly questioning:

"When we had no place to eat, who found us a restaurant, huh? Bai Bufan! When we couldn’t pay the bill, who covered us? The phone helped us navigate and pay, and you start eating first?

Your attitude after I pointed this out? Really, you’re so impudent!"

Bai Bufan: "..."

For real?

Going this far?

But Bai Bufan immediately slightly bowed to Lin Li, apologizing with solemnity and gravity: "I’m sorry, I know I was wrong. Does the phone have a TikTok account? I’d like to write a little essay thanking it."

"It hasn’t opened a TikTok account yet, but I have its payment code; you can directly transfer to it, here." Lin Li opened up the payment code, showing it to Bai Bufan, indicating that he could start thanking it.

Bai Bufan: "?"

"This is your payment code!"

"It’s the phone’s."

"..."

The three girls laughed brightly, but with the skit between the two, they didn’t plan on taking any more photos.

"Alright, alright, no more photos, let’s start eating," Chen Yu Ying laughed.

"Bufan, you can use your chopsticks now. You’ve been well-behaved today, you get the first bite as a reward."

"Thanks... Wait, why does it feel like you’re training a dog?"

"Delete ’why does it feel like,’ yep."
