Chapter 143 : Even the Old Generation of Artists are Not Calm
"Bye, see you next week. Let me know in the group chat when you get home!" After hanging the cold shredded chicken on the handlebars, Lin Li had to continue driving home, so he waved goodbye to the two who were heading back to the school gate.
"Mhm! Bye!"
"Damn Ding Sihan," Lin Li's face changed immediately after getting on his bike.
She said it was her treat, but in the end, he was the one who paid for all three of them. Even so, she still gritted her teeth at him. A dog biting Lü Dongbin.
Heh heh, women and girls are indeed evil and unreliable creatures!
No wonder that when a disaster occurs, women and children are usually allowed to escape first, because only then can a solution be found quietly and effectively!
This weekend was a holiday, but his mom wouldn't be home until tomorrow morning or even noon. Lin Li didn't rush to eat dinner at the community canteen. Instead, he went straight home, finished all the cold shredded chicken, and immediately sat down at his desk.
He set up his phone, adjusted the lighting, and placed his textbooks on the desk one by one. Lin Li took a deep breath.
【Enhanced Memory】, activate!
Three uses later, the exhilarating sixty minutes of studying came to an end.
He let out a long sigh of relief. He loved this feeling of knowledge actually staying in his brain.
Then Lin Li connected his phone to the computer, edited, sped up, and sent the video, all in one go.
Bai Bufan, heh heh.
...
Because his home was not in Xiling, Bai Bufan had just arrived downstairs at his home and was looking for a parking spot.
Seeing a notification on his phone that Lin Li had sent him a video, Bai Bufan immediately chuckled, turned down the brightness of his phone, and held it up so that the back was facing his father in the driver's seat. This way, even if he turned around, he would definitely not be able to see what he was watching.
Fully prepared, he then clicked on the one-and-a-half-minute video.
Bai Bufan's smile gradually disappeared, then turned pale. His lips began to tremble, and fear began to sweep over his entire body.
The top left corner showed '60x', this was a sixty-times-speed video.
For a full sixty seconds, in the video, the sped-up Lin Li was f*cking focused on studying!!
He didn't even go to pee!
Sixty seconds later, the video's speed finally returned to normal. However, in the video, Lin Li stared at the camera with a sinister and terrifying smile, his tone slow and eerie:
"Bai... Bu... Fan... I didn't break our promise. I'm studying at home, you can't control me now, can you?"
"I'm telling you! I will study today, I will study to-mor-row, and I will study the day-af-ter-to-mor-row."
"I will study every minute, every second. No matter what you are doing, you remember this, I! Am! Stud! Y! Ing!"
"Remember—"
The screen became even darker, and the sound was intermittent:
"I... am... stud... y... ing..."
Then the screen and sound abruptly stopped at the word 'studying'. Lin Li's terrifying face was still pressed against the camera, staring at him intently.
Bai Bufan threw his phone aside and frantically patted his hands, as if he had touched something extremely unlucky.
This kind of thing... is too terrifying...
What is Lin Li doing now? He's not still studying, is he?
"Let's go. Your mom finished cooking a long time ago, she's just waiting for you to come back and eat," finally finding a parking spot, Bai's father turned off the engine, closed the car door, and got out to say to his son.
But he saw his son sitting in the back seat as if his soul had left him, as if he had seen a ghost. He immediately went up worriedly, "Bufan, what's wrong?"
Bai Bufan came back to his senses. He fumbled with his hand several times before he could get his phone. He got out of the car with difficulty, and even missed a step once, which made Bai's father's heart pound with fear.
"Dad, let's not eat yet. I... I have to go study first," Bai Bufan said with a weak voice.
Bai's father: "?"
He let out a slight sigh of relief, then Bai's father took off his belt and said with a cold smile, "Tell me, what did you hide? What trouble did you get into during the autumn trip?"
Bai Bufan: "?"
...
After forwarding the video to the group chat of four, Lin Li went downstairs to eat.
A few minutes later, Bai Bufan sent him three sixty-second voice messages. Lin Li didn't open them.
See, he's anxious again.
When he opened the group chat again, Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu were sending him question marks. Chen Yuying, on the other hand, was cheering him on.
But then they continued to talk about the photos, saying how they were going to post on their Moments tonight.
Lin Li's video didn't cause much of a stir, but that was normal.
Just like if Zhuo Yongfei told him he had been studying all holiday, Lin Li would only reply with 'you're so amazing'.
The only ones he could influence were his few good bros.
Speaking of which, should he send a copy to Baowei too?
Lin Li's hand clicked on Baowei's chat interface, but in the end, he exited.
Forget it, I won't disgust him.
Bai Bufan had been staring at him all through the autumn trip, which was too much. This was a necessary punishment.
Baowei, be glad you escaped this time.
...
At eleven o'clock at night, Zhou Baowei, who had just spent fifteen minutes fighting the lust demon in his heart, lay on his bed contentedly, ready to sleep.
「Bai Bufan: [Video]」
It seems there's something good again. Couldn't this bastard have sent it earlier? He sent it to me after I had already finished fighting the lust demon.
I can only appreciate it from a purely artistic perspective now.
When Zhou Baowei saw what Lin Li had done in one minute in a video, his face was already very ugly.
Seeing the latter half, it turned out to be to disgust Bai Bufan. He was slightly relieved and also understood what Bai Bufan was doing by sending it to him. He was ready to join Bufan in cursing Lin Li's virtual family tree.
「Zhou Baowei: Finished watching, so disgusting.」
「Bai Bufan: [Video]」
Hmm? There's more?
Lin Li is really a beast.
Zhou Baowei clicked on the second video.
The first sixty seconds were basically the same as the first video, except the protagonist was changed to Bai Bufan. Although he didn't look as serious as Lin Li, he had indeed studied for a full hour.
And then there was the terrifying curse segment with no speed-up at all:
"Zhou... Bao... Wei..."
"You called me to play games just now~ I said I had plans~ Ha~ Ha~ Actually, I was lying to you~ I was studying~ studying~ No, it should be—"
"I... am... also... stud... y... ing..."
The same terrifying tone and pitch, the same close-up shot.
"Ah!!!" The phone was smashed onto the pillow. Zhou Baowei was panting heavily.
Sending ghost movies in the middle of the night, and two of them at that. Bai Bufan is not human either!
After a long time, his breathing finally calmed down.
"Two idiots. So what if they're studying? What does it have to do with me? So unlucky!"
Zhou Baowei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. But after this, he had no mood to play on his phone. He turned off the light and prepared to sleep.
"I... am... stud... y... ing..."
A minute later, in the darkness, Zhou Baowei suddenly sat up in bed.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he could hear the sound of Lin Li flipping through a book in his left ear, and the sound of Bai Bufan writing in his right ear.
And the two of them were simultaneously whispering like demons.
"I... am... stud... y... ing..."
Who the f*ck can sleep like this!
"Dogs!! Dogs!!" Zhou Baowei roared, then his gaze difficultly locked onto the desk not far away.
He gave a desolate smile.
Then he got up.
F*ck you, Lin Li.
F*ck you, Bai Bufan.
...
Zhou's father got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and found that his son's room light was still on.
Sighing, he went up and pushed the door open, "It's so late, why are you still..."
Damn, I've seen a ghost in the middle of the night.
His son was secretly studying in the middle of the night.
Zhou's father closed the door and opened it again.
F*ck! It's real!
"Son, what's wrong with you? How did you get addicted to studying?" Zhou's father went up and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, Dad. I just suddenly wanted to study. It's really nothing," Zhou Baowei waved his hand, his expression calm and without joy or sorrow, like a placid ancient well.
"Ah... uh... then... Dad will make you a late-night snack?" Zhou's father felt a lump in his throat.
"...Alright," Zhou Baowei hesitated and then nodded.
Zhou's father's heart skipped a beat.
Why did he hesitate?!
Is this still Baowei?
...
As a teacher, Xue Jian basically never turned off the notification sound on his phone.
He, who was not yet fully asleep, got up and picked up his phone after hearing the message notification sound.
「Zhou Baowei's Dad: Teacher, did something happen to my child during the autumn trip?」
「Xue Jian: Baowei? Is his stomach upset again? Or is he also studying?」
「Zhou Baowei's Dad: Eh? Teacher, how did you know? Was studying in the middle of the night a school requirement?」
「Zhou Baowei's Dad: Then I think the school's request is not very reasonable...」
Xue Jian sighed and scrolled down the chat.
Around seven o'clock in the evening.
「Bai Bufan's Dad: Teacher, did something happen to my child during the autumn trip?」
「Bai Bufan's Dad: Why is he only thinking about studying?」
「...」
Xue Jian rubbed his temples with a headache. He spent ten minutes briefly chatting with Zhou Baowei's dad, and the other party finally felt a little relieved.
Then he looked at his contact list and found "Lin Li's Mom".
Then he bowed three times piously.
"This parent, please don't send me any messages, I'm begging you."
