But after all, he had made an agreent with Lin Li, so Bai Bufan didn’t co and didn’t take Chen Yu Ying’s seat.
At noon, Lin Li was dragged to the cafeteria by Bai Bufan. When he returned to the classroom, he quietly went to his seat and clapped softly near Chen Yu Ying’s ear.
The girl was startled, giving Lin Li a playful glare.
That felt good.
Hiding my presence rules!
After sitting down, since it wasn’t ti for lunch break yet, Lin Li directly shouted to Wang Yuezhi, who was sitting at the front of the classroom: "Wang Yuezhi!"
"What?" Wang Yuezhi frowned and turned around, holding a study guide in his hand.
"Circus Arts."
This weekend, he learned to spin a plate with chopsticks, but unfortunately, he wasn’t very skilled yet and could only practice with a plastic plate.
Passion is the best teacher.
He’ll get proficient.
Maybe at New Year’s or so other occasion, there’ll even be a chance to perform.
"Wanna have a friendly little bet on my midterm scores?" Lin Li said as Wang Yuezhi turned around.
Little Wang Yuezhi felt a slight pain, and Wang Yuezhi looked at Lin Li cautiously while covering his crotch: "...Tell the details and the stakes first, then I’ll think about it."
"Let’s bet if my midterm scores can surpass yours." Lin Li casually said, "For the stakes, how about calling ’dad’ once and doing 3 not-too-demanding errands?"
"In our sophomore year, we might not even be in the sa class. Are you going to make run the 3000 and 1500 ters again?" Wang Yuezhi didn’t let his guard down and shook his head:
"Also, I never want to experience running 4500 ters in a day again. I don’t want to bet."
"Then how about calling ’dad’ three tis and just doing one excessive errand?" Lin Li easily compromised.
After all, it was purely for fun, with no other objective.
After thinking for a while, Wang Yuezhi nodded: "Okay."
This ti was different from last ti; previously, he couldn’t do anything since his scores had no impact on the bet; it all depended on Lin Li.
But this ti, all his efforts would make things tougher for Lin Li, even though Wang Yuezhi knew Lin Li was studying diligently. He didn’t think he would lose.
Worst case, if Lin Li scored better, he would just acknowledge the loss.
After all, it’s not the first ti he’d call soone ’dad’ or run errands.
It’s kind of like a widow losing her virtue; the first couple of tis are uncomfortable, but over ti, you get used to it.
If I win, it’s a big gain; if I lose, it doesn’t matter.
"OK! Then the class president will be our witness again."
"Sure!"
Wang Yuezhi nodded resolutely, then took the "Circus Arts" book off the desk and put it in the drawer.
Ti to switch to real study guides!
"Class president, traditionally now we should bet." After finishing this bet, Lin Li turned to look at Chen Yu Ying.
"Alright." Chen Yu Ying nodded with a smile, "Is the bet the sa as yours?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, then I’m betting your scores will surpass Wang Yuezhi’s." Chen Yu Ying imdiately said.
Lin Li: "...Huh?"
"So, both of us are betting my midterm scores will surpass Wang Yuezhi’s?" Lin Li confird.
"Uh-huh."
"Then how do we bet?"
"You can change your bet to thinking you won’t surpass." With a bigger smile on her face, Chen Yu Ying said, "I believe you can beat him, and I don’t want to tickle your feet for nothing."
Damn, when will the class president be as easily fooled as Ding Sihan?
Lin Li pinched his nose and began to think.
"What are you thinking?"
"I’m debating whether calling Wang Yuezhi ’dad’ three tis is worth exchanging for one request from you."
Lin Li wore a pained expression, truly a tough choice.
"That’s up to you." Chen Yu Ying, leaning on her folded arms on the desk, tilted her head and looked at Lin Li, "If you throw the match, I can’t stop you."
"Class president, how about we change our bet a bit?" Lin Li turned and looked at Chen Yu Ying.
"What?"
"Let’s bet if my midterm scores can surpass yours."
"Surpass ?" Chen Yu Ying raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, class president, my ambition has now swelled to want to surpass you." Lin Li nodded and said solemnly.
Chen Yu Ying blinked and stared at Lin Li. After a few seconds, she frowned and asked, "Lin Li, are you deliberately ignoring the word ’over’ or did you accidentally do it?"
"Deliberately by accident." Caught, Lin Li couldn’t keep a straight face anymore; he looked away guilty and scratched his neck.
"You perv! You creep!"
After hitting Lin Li lightly with a workbook, Chen Yu Ying thought for a mont: "If it’s like this, okay. Are the stakes the sa as last ti?"
"Difficulty upgrade, stakes upgrade too. Make it a slightly demanding requirent, how about that?" Lin Li said with a smile.
"No such thing as a ’dium’ requirent," Chen Yu Ying laughed upon hearing this, "Is next ti going to be a very demanding big requirent?"
"We’ll worry about next ti, next ti, so are you in, class president? Or are you scared?"
"Such a lousy taunt, but I accept." Chen Yu Ying nodded.
Just in ti for the start of afternoon self-study, she pulled back the sleeves of her autumn uniform, picked up the pen, and looked at Lin Li:
"Ti to study, Lin Li.
I’ll have Ding Sihan help think about how to make the stakes demanding enough; you’re dood."
"Who’s dood isn’t certain." Lin Li stretched his chest and began organizing what to study at noon.
While Lin Li had confidence in making the top ten, surpassing Chen Yu Ying wasn’t sothing he was particularly certain about.
Normally, Lin Li never fights a battle unprepared.
