The System is Abstract, Luckily, So Am I Chapter 24 : Honey, Say Something

"Sleep talking? What sleep talking?" Bai Bufan looked sowhat puzzled.

Only then did Lin Li breathe a sigh of relief—he was alive again.

It didn't matter if he said those things to male students, but saying them to all the female students in class would make Lin Li want to stop being an organic being.

"So why is everyone looking at ?" Lin Li suddenly turned his head—the English teacher wasn't standing behind him with a death stare either.

Then he looked outside the door, "Is there a senior girl outside calling out to confess?"

"Pretty much." Bai Bufan nodded.

"Really? Damn, is my hair ssy from sleeping?" So that was it. Lin Li imdiately beca energetic and started getting nervous.

He hoped it was a 175cm affectionate and devoted 36D beautiful rich woman senior.

"Pretty much, except it's not a senior girl—it's the principal calling you. As for whether it's a confession, that's uncertain for now." Bai Bufan shook his head.

Lin Li: "?"

"What the fuck do you call 'pretty much'? Wait, why is that old man principal calling ?" Lin Li's hand froze while fixing his hair, speaking through gritted teeth.

And as if to verify the truth of Bai Bufan's words, the broadcast repeated the announcent again: "Please have Lin Li from Class 4, Grade 1 co to the principal's office. Please have Lin Li from Class 4, Grade 1..."

At this ti, horoom teacher Xue Jian also appeared at the front door. Without entering, he waved from a distance at Lin Li in the back row by the window.

Now there wasn't even ti to ask about the situation. Lin Li swallowed and silently stood up.

"I wouldn't want Baowei to reincarnate into my aunt's family, but Lin Li, if you don't mind, please negotiate with the King of Hell after you die and co over. I'll rember you forever." Bai Bufan said with tears in his eyes.

"What did you actually do to make Old Hardhead personally arrest you to the principal's office?" Zhou Baowei looked curious.

...

"Teacher, what happened?" Lin Li honestly walked to Xue Jian's side, who was the sa height as him, asking without confidence.

"I just got the notice too. The principal wants to bring you over. You don't know either?" Xue Jian shook his head.

"No."

"I see."

Then they had nothing more to say.

Damn, Bai Bufan, I completely understand your pain now. Can soone get an old thing here so grandpa can help you out too?

Nansang Middle School was divided into two parts—Grades 1 and 2 in one campus, Grade 3 in an independent small campus. The administrative building was on the Grade 1 and 2 side, so they didn't need to walk far.

But thinking about facing the principal's office next made him even more anxious.

At the principal's office door, Xue Jian knocked: "Principal Wang."

"Are Lin Li and Teacher Xue here? Co in, co in." The door was actually ajar, and Principal Wang's voice imdiately ca out. Without waiting for Xue Jian to push the door, it was pulled open from inside.

Bright light burst into view, giving Lin Li a blow to the head.

Not good—this was a show of force.

It was over.

But Lin Li soon found his judgnt was wrong.

This was just morning sunlight reflecting off the principal's receding hairline.

"This must be student Lin Li. Very good, very good—he looks like a talented person, very nice." Principal Wang's face blood like a chrysanthemum, patting Lin Li's shoulder with relief and approval.

His tone was like a spring breeze, but the middle-aged man's decaying sll (mixed tobacco and tea) made Lin Li silently hold his breath.

What was happening?

He turned to look at Xue Jian, whose face also showed so surprise.

"Good child, co in and sit down. Co, co in." Principal Wang led Lin Li into the principal's office.

Then Lin Li was stunned, seeing a familiar face he'd t and gotten to know just a few days ago—the Demon Suppression officer, Yang Liang.

Beside him was another uniford female officer he hadn't seen before.

"Co, Officer Yang, this is the child you ntioned, right?" Principal Wang had Lin Li sit on the guest sofa, sitting beside Yang Liang and smiling at him.

"Yes," Yang Liang nodded, then turned to look at Lin Li, his voice incredibly gentle: "Little Lin, we et again."

This voice was overly gentle and kind. It sounded strange to Lin Li—this middle-aged man hadn't been like this a few days ago. Could it be because there was a female police officer present now, so he needed to establish a gentle man persona?

Tsk tsk tsk.

This was n for you.

Having understood everything, Lin Li wasn't bored enough to expose this, so he nodded, "Hello Uncle Yang."

"I'm Sun Ying." The female officer smiled and introduced herself.

"Hello Sister Sun."

Then Lin Li sowhat hesitantly probed Yang Liang with a tentative tone, "Your purpose in coming to our school today is..."

Thinking of sothing, Lin Li's expression darkened as he leaned over and whispered in Yang Liang's ear:

"Uncle, I admit my attitude toward you the day before yesterday was a bit arrogant, but we don't need to report it to school. I promise I won't be abstract anymore, okay?"

This Yang Liang was so petty—he'd just made so small jokes without causing any big trouble.

Setting aside the facts, didn't Yang Liang himself have any fault?

Trembling with cold anger, what prejudice did this world have against seventeen-year-old handso guys?

Kneel down, I'll beg you for sothing.

"No, Little Lin!" Yang Liang shook his head vigorously.

Being abstract was already Lin Li's only protective shell. If he made him remove this protective shell too, would he still be human? He didn't want to lose sleep again.

"Abstract is good! Young people should be abstract! Just stay abstract in the future! The more abstract the better! Abstract hard, go hard!"

Lin Li: "?"

Uncle, you're more abstract than now.

What kind of words were these?

He got up at 4 AM every day to secretly morize s in bed to be this abstract, but this Officer Yang Liang in front of him...

Those who could pass civil service exams really had talent in all aspects.

Yang Liang also realized Lin Li probably misunderstood sothing, so he explained:

"Didn't I say before? You assisted us in destroying such a big operation. We'll definitely return your money, and our office will give you additional rewards.

Today we two ca representing the police station to give you a comndation letter, banner, gifts, and prize money. It's not bad news—it's absolutely good news!"

"Phew—you scared ." Lin Li breathed a long sigh of relief.

So it was this matter.

No wonder Principal Wang could smile like a chrysanthemum and be so kind to him.

"Right, right, right! Of course it's good news! Student Lin Li, I could tell at first glance he was talented! He represents our Nansang Middle School's appearance very well. Being able to assist police in solving cases—good, very good!" Principal Wang still hadn't sat down, standing beside Lin Li and saying with relief,

"This is also related to our Nansang Middle School's educational philosophy and policies. I believe every person in our school, whether boys or girls, would stand up firmly like student Lin Li when you need help, helping you like student Lin Li!"

Principal Wang's emotions were indeed genuine.

What a great achievent this was! This student nad Lin Li had really helped Nansang Middle School gain face.

Even more so for him personally!

His position might even move up a bit with Lin Li's help—principals generally didn't have just the principal identity.

So principals' principal identity was more like a transition between position changes.

He had already planned it out—he must publicize this widely.

The official account would post, all teachers must share to their social dia, announcents would be posted, and it would be best to find so news video accounts to interview Lin Li!

Then he'd pretend to accidentally film it, not expecting it to go viral online.

Listening to this, Lin Li suddenly felt sothing was off.

Not that he found Principal Wang's self-promotion strange—when sothing like this happened at school, being happy and hoping to maintain the school's image was perfectly normal.

It's just...

Everyone helping the Demon Suppression Bureau solve cases like himself seed a bit inappropriate, right?

Lin Li looked at Yang Liang and asked quietly, "Uncle, did you tell the principal how I helped you solve the case?"

Hearing this, Yang Liang fell silent.

Still silent.

Silent.

Yang Liang looked away.

Yang Liang.exe has stopped responding.

Lin Li: "?"
