Chapter 96 : This Is the Real Music
"Lin Li, didn't you bring anything?"
Chen Yuying wasn't carrying a backpack, but she had a small crossbody bag and was also pulling a suitcase. Judging from the sound of it being rolled, it was quite heavy. Therefore, she asked Lin Li, who had nothing, with some curiosity.
"I brought a backpack of snacks, a backpack of board games, and also drinks and mysterious liquids. Class president, if you need anything, just let me know," Lin Li said with a smile.
His posture was generous, and the content of what he said was even more generous.
But Zhou Baowei, Bai Bufan, and Wang Ze at the side: "?"
Are you polite?
Are those your things that you brought?
The three of them tacitly and covertly gave him the middle finger, but no one refuted it.
"No need, I brought a lot of things too," Chen Yuying patted her suitcase and said with a smile.
The bus driver seemed to have just finished dinner at a small shop outside the school. Now he was slowly touching his stomach and came to the side of the bus, opened the door, and turned on the air conditioning in advance.
Then he got off the bus again and opened the storage space below the bus.
"Put the luggage you don't plan to carry with you here! It won't be opened again for you to take things before we reach the destination, so don't put what you need on the road here!" the driver shouted at the crowd.
The students who had already arrived began to put their suitcases and other items inside.
"This is not easy to lift!" The space for putting suitcases was quite high from the ground. It had to be lifted up to be put in. So Ding Sihan said in a very loud voice with some distress.
"Class president, shall I help you lift it?" Lin Li suggested to Chen Yuying upon hearing this.
"Ah? Okay, thank you," Chen Yuying nodded.
"Class president, did you pack rocks in here like Patrick Star?" Lin Li only realized how dense this suitcase was after he lifted it.
This was just a two-day, two-night trip. Why was it so heavy?
Lin Li was glad that his physical fitness was much better than before. If it were the him from before, whose qi and blood had not been improved, he could still put it in, but it would be visibly strenuous and even a little embarrassing.
But now, Lin Li could lift the suitcase and put it in without changing his expression.
"It just got this heavy after I kept stuffing things in," Chen Yuying said with some embarrassment after being told this.
"OK, you can get on the bus now," Lin Li habitually clapped his hands and said to Chen Yuying.
"You guys go up first. I have to count the number of people with Teacher Xue below. I'll be the last one up," Chen Yuying replied.
"Okay, then I'll go up first," Lin Li nodded. He turned his head and saw that Bai Bufan and the others had already gotten on the bus, so he nodded.
"Okay."
Lin Li turned to leave, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Why was it haunted again?
He turned his head and saw Ding Sihan, the little ghost of Class 4, with a calm smile on her face, holding a heavy suitcase, and looking at him gloomily, as if looking at a dead person.
The person who said she needed help just now seemed to be her?
Not sure, not much impression.
"Ding Sihan, do you need my help?" so Lin Li confirmed.
"How could that be," Ding Sihan shook her head and said word by word.
Pillow talk, I'll blow you to death, blow you to death, blow you to death!!!
...
After helping Ding Sihan with her luggage, Lin Li got on the bus.
The bus was a 3+2 format. There were still more than twenty minutes before departure. Many people hadn't arrived yet, and there were many empty seats. But Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei had already called his name. They had saved a seat for him.
"I want the window seat. Baowei, get out," Lin Li not only didn't thank him, but even pushed his luck.
"What's this stuck behind your ear?" After Lin Li sat down, he looked at the small round patch behind Bai Bufan's ear and asked curiously.
"Motion sickness patch. I get mild motion sickness, but with a bus of this quality today, it should be fine to play on my phone on the bus," Bai Bufan explained.
"Understood."
Lin Li nodded. He used to get motion sickness too, but he didn't know if it was because he took the bus too often or if his physical fitness changed as he grew up, but he didn't get it later.
Motion sickness was indeed an extremely painful thing.
"Want to play a game? How about some exciting, colorful, side-scrolling, one-handed shooting game?" Bai Bufan had already turned his phone horizontally and asked.
"Angry Birds, right?"
"No, you guys play. I'll listen to music," Lin Li shook his head, took out two pairs of earphones from his pocket, put back the wired one that cost more than a thousand yuan, and put on the Bluetooth earphones that cost more than a hundred yuan.
The music later would be cheaper.
...
The kill-death ratio was 14 to 60.
"What a close defeat," Bai Bufan lamented his failure.
He turned to look at Lin Li and found that he was also enjoying himself, listening to music and reading a novel.
Playing games on the bus was quite shaky. Bai Bufan decided to watch the video he had downloaded, so he elbowed Lin Li a few times, "Want to watch 'Solar Opposites' together? The latest season, from the Rick and Morty production team, the quality is good."
"No, I'm listening to a song," Lin Li shook his head, his expression focused.
Hearing this, Bai Bufan reached out and directly took off the earphone on Lin Li's side that was close to him, put it in his own ear, and muttered, "Let me see your taste in music."
"Excuse me."
Yo, it's an English song. He does have taste.
"Can you tell me how much the shirt is? —Yes, it's nine fifteen. Please look at the options. The price of the shirt is 9 pounds and 15 pence, so you choose option C and mark it on your test paper."
A standard and familiar mechanical male voice slowly said.
"Clatter—" The phone in Bai Bufan's left hand suddenly slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
He was stunned.
After a long time, Bai Bufan turned his head.
He took a closer look and gasped.
What was in Lin Li's phone was not a novel, but an English listening test paper in text format!
"Why did your phone drop? Holy shit, Bufan, why do you look like this? The bus hasn't even started and you're already dizzy?" Zhou Baowei picked up the phone and handed it back to Bai Bufan, then was confused by Bai Bufan's expression.
Bai Bufan didn't speak. His face was pale. He put the Bluetooth earphone in his hand into Zhou Baowei's ear.
Three seconds later.
"Clatter—" Both phones in Zhou Baowei's hands fell to the ground.
Silence.
Silence.
The storm was coming—
"Lin Li! Are you fucking crazy!" Bai Bufan roared at Lin Li, his eyes full of panic and disbelief.
"Lin Li! Are you sick!" Zhou Baowei followed closely behind.
Lin Li sneered, spread his hands and clenched them into fists, closed his eyes, and said with an enjoying expression, "This is the real music."
Relying on memorizing words for the English paper, he basically wouldn't lose many points, but listening was different. It had always been a weak point for Lin Li, and this required a sense of language to solve the problem. Simply relying on memory was not enough.
He had to do more and listen more.
In order to get into the top 100 in the next monthly exam, this was the price he had to pay.
But in the eyes of Bai Bufan and the others, this was a naked betrayal.
"Hey! I don't care who you are, you've been using Lin Li's body for long enough, right? That's enough. Give us back the familiar Lin Li!" Bai Bufan shouted at the demon inside Lin Li's body with righteous indignation, then thought for a moment, "Why don't you possess me and make me fall in love with studying?"
Lin Li sneered at Bai Bufan and reached out his hand, "Give me back the earphones. I want to continue listening to music."
"Not a chance! Lin Li, have you forgotten what Old Jian Tou said! He said if we go out to play, we should just go out and play. You immediately turn off the listening and switch to Xiao Mo's Sao Mai or Eighteen Touches, or I'll die for you to see right now!"
Bai Bufan refused to return the earphones and threatened with a pained expression.
"Can you get a small loan for me before you die? I'll send you the list of loan apps. You can download them now," Lin Li's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Bai Bufan: "..."
This bro of his was really a damn bro.
"Do you see my eyes? Three parts sadness, three parts nostalgia, four parts despair. Lin Li, quickly remember who you are, quickly remember our beautiful times together!" Bai Bufan's voice was mournful.
"Put away your pie chart eyes," Lin Li was unmoved. He could still hear with one earphone and was ready to continue doing the questions.
Zhou Baowei's expression changed. He leaned his head over and stared at Lin Li seriously, "Speaking of pie charts, Japan's national flag is a pie chart showing all the places in the world that have been bombed by nuclear bombs. Do you know this knowledge point, Lin Li?"
Lin Li paused slightly, looked at his phone and licked his lips a few times, and finally turned to look at Zhou Baowei:
"Baowei, are you so hateful towards Japan because you're fat, and if you went there, you'd explode?"
Bai Bufan's eyes lit up. Baowei still knew how to use the Lin Li manual—the hell joke session had indeed piqued his interest.
"The priests think Japan is the best place for missionary work, because little boys fall from the sky here!" In any case, Lin Li finally stopped listening to that damn listening. It was worth celebrating, so Bai Bufan also said.
Lin Li thought for a moment and said:
"During the college entrance examination in Japan, there are a lot of perverts, because these guys have figured out the psychology of female college entrance examination students—the college entrance examination is a major event in life, and there must be no mistakes, so even if the girls are harassed, they dare not make a sound and can only endure it silently.
After this matter was exposed by the media, it caused an uproar. People condemned these despicable perverts, and parents were even more anxious.
In order to prevent their children from being bullied, the girls' fathers all took leave to escort their daughters to the exam.
As a result, the number of perverts in society doubled."
"I have more, I have more..."
"..."
Wang Ze, who was sitting in the front row, stood up and turned around. As a righteous sports student, he couldn't listen anymore, "You guys are a bit too hellish."
"Buddha just sent me a QQ message saying that we can laugh as much as we want this time, no merit will be deducted," seeing the laughing Wang Ze, Lin Li waved his hand.
"Then you guys continue. It's good to listen to, I love to listen," Wang Ze immediately grinned, "You three are really attacking from all sides. Awesome."
"Not a comprehensive attack," Lin Li waved his hand again, "We have three things we don't criticize about the island nation: music, anime, and films."
Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Wang Ze scratched his head in confusion, "Music, anime, and what's the other one?"
The three of them sneered in unison. A sports student is a sports student. This is what it means to have different paths and not conspire together.
"Damn, it's music, anime, and films!" Wang Ze realized belatedly.
...
"Alright, I really have to continue listening. I have a bet with Wang Yuezhi..." After another while of hellish jokes, Lin Li told them about his bet with Wang Yuezhi, "...so, nothing can stop me from studying on the way to Pingjiang."
"How dare you make such a bet?" Bai Bufan said in surprise.
"And the class president is the notary? Isn't this losing face at home?" Zhou Baowei was equally surprised.
They also didn't believe that Lin Li could get into the top 100 in the grade in the next monthly exam without cheating.
This was too exaggerated.
Although they didn't understand, the two of them reluctantly accepted the fact that Lin Li would be studying on the road.
After finishing a listening passage.
Lin Li looked at the scenery outside the window.
The afterglow of the setting sun was like a golden thread, piercing through the clouds and illuminating the entire sky.
He could actually see this scenery in the classroom every day, but it felt a little better now.
Maybe because his mood was different.
It was almost time to leave. Everyone should have arrived. Lin Li saw Xue Jian, Chen Yuying, and Ding Sihan, who was accompanying her, check the door of the storage compartment and then walk towards the bus.
He'd rest for a minute and then listen to another passage.
With this thought, Lin Li closed his eyes.
