"What did the teacher ask you to do?" Bai Bufan couldn’t help but ask as soon as Lin Li returned to the classroom, even before he reached his seat.
"Yeah." Lin Li nodded:
"We’re having a guys-only ’party’, and the class monitor called us over to keep watch at the door, she’s not participating."
Bai Bufan pointed at Lin Li speechlessly yet teasingly.
Before cracking a dirty joke, Lin Li made sure to exclude Chen Yu Ying; that’s the level of detail Lin Li considers.
Honestly, he’s such a damn drama queen.
"So are you a one or a zero?" Bai Bufan continued with the conversation.
Lin Li: "θ."
"•᷄ᯅ•᷅ What does ’theta’ an? A new term?" Bai Bufan was stunned, not quite understanding this new answer.
"In a group ’party,’ it’s hard to distinguish between one and zero. At the ti, I had soone in front of and behind , so I was both one and zero, and together, that makes theta." Lin Li explained.
Bai Bufan: "..."
Lin Li is a genius.
"Aweso." Bai Bufan pressed his fist against his forehead, trying not to laugh out loud, then shook his head in amazent, "Ah, you guys from Nantong are really sothing else, making feel sick."
"Then next ti just don’t go so deep." Lin Li shrugged:
"Bufan, why do you always bla others? How about looking at your own issues—have you improved over the years? Is seventy-nine centiters really that long? Can’t even swallow that?"
Bai Bufan: "(;☉_☉)!?"
"Damn! That’s not what I ant! I didn’t an it in a physical sense! I ant it psychologically!!" Bai Bufan retorted, realizing a second too late what he had just heard.
Besides, seventy-nine centiters? Even a comic bull doesn’t have that length!
"Wow, how did you string these words together?"
"So what you’re saying is that you’re not physically disgusting, just in denial while secretly liking it? Are you one of those cheeky little brats who act all ’whatever’ but go all fanboy when a handso guy shows up?"
Lin Li mocked.
"Who taught you to understand things like this? It’s seriously twisted." Bai Bufan said jokingly, then elbowed Lin Li: "Alright, enough. Save so Nantong jokes for Wang Ze. So, what did Old Jian actually call you for?"
"Nothing much, just asked if we wanted to participate in a not-too-serious math competition. If you’re interested, I can talk to Xue Jian for you. It’s free anyway, and if you really want to go, Xue Jian will definitely agree."
With nothing to hide, Lin Li explained simply.
"Boring." Bai Bufan shivered at the news, his eyes instantly calming down. He shook his head and gazed deeply at the sky, continuing his nightly stargazing.
Yeah, it’s still night.
But Lin Li furrowed his eyebrows.
"Seriously? Bai. Bu. Fan. If you’re bored, then just say you’re bored. Why the sudden shiver like you’re on ds?" Unable to hold back any longer, Lin Li grumbled, frowning at Bai Bufan.
"Oh, you an this? It’s a conditioned reflex, haven’t you heard of Pavlov’s Dog experint? Because every ti in the past when I shivered at night, I’d feel bored, so now when I feel bored, I shiver.
How can you not get that, seriously underexposed guy, you must be the real fish out of water around here." Bai Bufan had his reasons, looking down on Lin Li’s seeming ignorance.
Lin Li blinked at this, handing Bai Bufan a piece of paper.
Bai Bufan understood, took it, and wiped his belly over his clothes, saying thanks.
Prioritizing wiping his belly—seems like Bufan often lies down at the temple, the lazy monk type.
But Lin Li accepted this move: "Reasonable."
"Thought it was sothing else, turns out it’s just you smart people doing your thing, uninteresting." Putting the paper in the drawer, Bai Bufan shook his head and couldn’t help but say:
"Lin Li, tell , there’s a Paralympic Gas but why isn’t there a Dumblympics? Isn’t that unfair?"
Lin Li just snorted at this, not speaking, giving Bai Bufan a look like he was a simpleton.
In response to this look, Bai Bufan got mad and squinted his eyes, questioning:
"Lin Li, I ask you, is a weak acid still an acid."
"Eh? Hold on—"
"No sidetracking, what ’hold on,’ I ask you, is a weak acid still an acid! Answer yes or no!" Bai Bufan interrupted Lin Li, demanding.
"Fine, it is." Already knowing where Bai Bufan was leading, Lin Li, excellent in chemistry, admitted with a smile, hiding his face.
"Is a weak base still a base!"
"Yes."
"Then answer now, is being ’dim-witted’ still being smart? Look in my ass! Answer !"
"Yes!"
"So why can’t we hold a ’Dimlympics’? Apologize to all dimwits now, seriously!" Bai Bufan’s words grew more fervent, gaining multiple curious glances from students in front of them.
However, people were used to the chatter from these two at the back, and so even eavesdropped for entertainnt.
It’s like listening to a cody show.
Lin Li was convinced, squeezing his shirt hem tightly, his knuckles whitening from the effort, fearing that without acting, he’d be overwheld by remorse, guilt, and regret, so he instantly stood up.
Walking to Zhou Baowei, Lin Li bowed deeply, tears streaming down: "I’m sorry, Bao Wei!"
Seeing this, Bai Bufan was deeply moved too, standing up to join Lin Li: "I’m sorry too, Bao Wei!"
Zhou Baowei: "?"
Chuckling, Zhou Baowei reached for his nostril: "You idiots, I really should secretly sar boogers on your drawer tops. Just wait, when you suddenly find a dried grape one day, that’s my gift to you."
"Hey, damn Zhou Baowei, how could you be so nasty!"
