Zhang Haoyang was taken care of, leaving only Chen Tianming.

Lin Li returned to the next room. The door was ajar.

Chen Tianming had already returned and was sitting in his seat.

"Tianming!" Lin Li called out his name affectionately from the doorway.

Chen Tianming looked over.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Bai Bufan, lying on the top bunk, quickly stopped Lin Li, who was about to speak again. He scrambled down from the bed without stopping, rummaged through his cabinet for a bag of chips, and then sat on Zhou Baowei's bed.

After tearing open the package, putting a chip in his mouth with a crunch, and licking his fingers, he finally nodded at Lin Li with satisfaction:

"I'm ready. You can continue."

"So why are you watching the show on my bed?" Zhou Baowei, whose space had suddenly become half as crowded, asked while sneakily reaching for the chip bag.

"If the crumbs fall on my bed, it will annoy me. Crunch. Crunch," Bai Bufan answered sincerely.

Zhou Baowei: "...So it's not annoying if they fall on my bed! Get the hell off!"

Lin Li ignored the two of them and walked straight over to sit next to Chen Tianming. "Tianming, courage is the greatest anthem of humanity. Don't choose cowardice..."

Before Lin Li could continue to preach, Chen Tianming waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for more words. "No need to say more."

This is not good. This tone, this expression, he's a tough nut to crack.

Damn it, his hypnosis app was probably going to fail this time. The numbers in it were still too weak.

"I'll go."

"Tianming, why don't you reconsider... huh?" Lin Li, who was preparing for a final struggle, let out a sound of confusion after realizing what Chen Tianming had answered.

"What did you say?"

"I'll go," Chen Tianming repeated calmly.

Lin Li hadn't even spoken yet.

"Rustle—"

Bai Bufan's reaction was even more dramatic than Lin Li's. He threw away his chips and scrambled over to the middle of the two, looking at Chen Tianming in disbelief.

Behind him, Zhou Baowei also looked at his chip-covered bed in disbelief. He tearfully picked them up one by one and ate them. He, who wanted to cry, started to feel like laughing as he ate.

Bai Bufan had no time for chips. He was really hurt right now. He grabbed Chen Tianming's hands and questioned him sternly, "Chen Tianming, what do you mean?"

"I've slept with you for over half a year, and this is how you treat me? Last time you forgot to bring toilet paper when you were taking a shit, Baowei and the others just laughed at you. It was me, from the top bunk, who specially came down to bring you paper!

In this past half a year, we've had so many expectations between us, you know?

But what's the result? How did I beg you yesterday, and how did you respond to me? You didn't give me a single shred of hope. Now that Lin Li is here, you immediately agreed? He's a damn day student, he hasn't even slept with you for a single day! I lost to him?"

The grievance and sorrow in Bai Bufan's eyes were more Gāyèzi than Lin Daiyu.

He was all prepared to watch the show of Lin Li bribing or begging Chen Tianming, but this was the performance?

It's not the scarcity that one worries about, but the inequality. Bai Bufan was really hurt.

Lin Li, however, squeezed Bai Bufan aside with his butt and patted Chen Tianming's shoulder with satisfaction. "This decision is correct, pertinent, and hits the nail on the head."

"First of all, you brought me sandpaper that time. In the end, I had to call you 'daddy' twenty-seven times before you gave me normal toilet paper," the not-so-grudge-holding Chen Tianming waved his hand again. "Secondly, the reason I refused you yesterday and agreed to Lin Li today is definitely not what you think."

"Lin Li, if you want to complete the mission your master gave you and get the key to the chastity lock so you don't have to squat to pee anymore, that's fine. But you have to do me a favor," Chen Tianming looked at Lin Li and said.

Lin Li turned his head and looked coldly at Bai Bufan, who looked away guiltily.

Your mom.

You don't even have to think to know that this was another weird persona Bai Bufan had made up for him.

"What favor?" Forgetting about Bai Bufan for the moment, Lin Li asked.

Chen Tianming was a little shy for a moment. It took him several seconds to say, "Help me get a WeChat or QQ."

"Rustle—" Zhou Baowei, who had finished eating and was shaking his bed to clean up the chip crumbs, threw his quilt aside and also scrambled over, squatting next to Bai Bufan.

Four heads huddled together, including Lin Li's. The six eyes of the three of them were all locked on Chen Tianming.

"Hey, where are my chips?" Bai Bufan, who had a new juicy melon to eat, realized his mouth was empty and remembered this.

"I'll shit them out for you in the toilet later. Don't interrupt. Let's hear what Tianming has to say first," Zhou Baowei's eyes were fixed, but he reached out and accurately covered Bai Bufan's mouth, signaling for Chen Tianming to continue.

"Details," Lin Li also had a curious expression of someone eating a melon. "Whose? From another class? Is she from our school? Do you want a tough guy or a weak bottom?"

"Of course it's a girl's! She's from our school, and also in the tenth grade, in Class 17. Her name should be Yao Qiaoqiao." Even though they were all bros, being stared at in this situation was still a bit embarrassing. Chen Tianming said shyly.

The three of them looked at each other. They had never heard of the name.

"You like her?"

"I have a good impression of her. I'm not sure if it's like yet..." Chen Tianming turned his head and waved his hand.

His tone was already so shy, and he was still saying he wasn't sure if he liked her or not.

Tsk, men.

"How did you notice her?" Lin Li continued to ask.

Although Nansang High School had clubs, they were actually quite a formality. Not to mention that only tenth and eleventh graders could participate, there was only one club activity period per week, and it was often taken up by other things. Most people didn't even join these meaningless clubs and would just self-study during the activity time.

So it was quite difficult to get to know people outside of one's own class, except for sports students like Wang Ze.

Oh, the freshman QQ group was also a channel, but Lin Li had left the group ever since he saw someone ask if the school's small shop accepted Bitcoin for payment.

"Their class has PE at the same time as us. During the final physical fitness test last semester, she helped me pass my watch and other things when I was looking for them, so I noticed her..." Chen Tianming narrated, even more shyly.

"This semester, I've been looking for her during the morning run every day. Recently, seeing Lin Li's progress so gratifying, already able to receive missions from his master, I couldn't hold it in anymore..."

"Can you fucking not use me as an excuse just because you're a masochist?" Lin Li's face was full of black lines.

"Oh—so you knew I couldn't possibly help you with this, that's why you didn't agree to me yesterday, right?" Bai Bufan also realized. Chen Tianming's request was indeed something he would never be able to do.

"Mm."

Chen Tianming didn't say much more. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but they hadn't even added each other's contact information yet. He couldn't say anything else even if he wanted to.

"Aren't you going to ask for it yourself? In this situation, it would be better if you asked, right? What if your goddess thinks I like her and then falls for me?" After understanding the whole story, Lin Li scratched his hair and said cockily.

"I wanted to ask Baowei to help me at first, but I was afraid he was too ugly and would scare her into not giving her contact information. And his level of cowardice is only slightly better than the pure-bred waste Bufan. I don't want too many people to know about this. It just so happens that you, Lin Li, have a favor to ask of me. Your face has been getting thicker and thicker lately, and your looks are seventy percent of mine. You're the most suitable choice."

Lin Li, Bai Bufan, Zhou Baowei: "?"

You're scolding everyone present with one sentence?
