33: Contemplating the vastness of heaven and earth

Walking out of the school gate, Lin You felt the evening breeze and decided not to take the bus, intending to walk home instead.

After turning right out of the school gate and entering a small path, Lin You heard a flurry of footsteps behind him. Public security in Ancheng was very good, so Lin You wasn't afraid. Instead, he turned around out of curiosity and saw—

Four male students standing behind him.

Seeing Lin You look over, the four male students stopped and kept a distance of about five meters from him.

" You must be Lin You, right? "

Yo, are they really looking for me?

The streetlights on this small path weren't very bright, but Lin You took a look and confirmed that he didn't recognize any of the four.

" No, I am Li Qingbo. "

Hearing the name Li Qingbo, the four boys opposite him stirred in agitation.

Then, the leading boy angrily shouted: " Damn it! Do you think I don't know who Li Qingbo is?! After we finish dealing with you, we'll go deal with him! "

Huh?

Lin You had just mentioned Li Qingbo's name casually. After all, Rich Brother was somewhat famous in Ancheng No. 7 Middle School, always had lackeys around him, and was picked up and dropped off by a driver, so he was completely unafraid of being targeted.

So this matter concerned both himself and Li Qingbo?

Lin You's brain spun rapidly, and he immediately realized who these people were.

Lin You never caused trouble at Ancheng No. 7 Middle School. The only reasons he would be targeted recently, besides being too close to Du Zhaoyu, were the incident where he helped Li Qingbo record a video to fight back.

Since the people in front of him also wanted to "deal with" Li Qingbo, it could only be that idiot from Class 4.

" Are you guys from Class 4? The cuckold who got cucked by Li Qingbo? "

Lin You had a very sharp tongue when it came to people looking for trouble with him. Upon hearing Lin You's words, the leading boy immediately exploded.

" Holy crap! Who the hell are you calling a cuckold? Have you ever seen a cuckold as fierce as me?! "

Lin You immediately looked shocked and took a step back, " You even have an anal fissure? Buddy, the anorectal department at the Second Hospital is actually pretty good... "

" Damn! This kid has such a foul mouth, stop talking nonsense with him, just take him down! "

Lin You wasn't very familiar with this path and didn't know if there were surveillance cameras. He happily waited for the four people in front of him to strike first, so he could claim self-defense.

After Lin You got the 100% progress bar for 【 Sports Expert 】, his physical fitness exploded, and furthermore...

Martial arts and combat also count as sports, you know~

Lin You recalled the martial arts and combat movies he had watched, preparing to choose some simple and effective moves to deal with them.

Lin You watched the four people rush toward him, pretending to be stunned. The four of them clearly wanted to grab Lin You first and then slowly "deal with" him, coming at him with the intention of pinning down his hands and feet.

As soon as the four people's hands touched Lin You's arms, Lin You immediately let out an "Ouch" and quickly stumbled back a few steps, creating a distance of several meters.

Just as the four were confused about how Lin You was "knocked back" when they hadn't used any force, Lin You opened his mouth, preparing to shout to any potential surveillance cameras to declare that he was acting in self-defense.

At the same time, a roar with MAX anger levels reached Lin You's ears.

" F*** your mother, you dare to hit my Buddy?! "

The next instant, a dark shadow rushed over from not far away and delivered a flying kick that struck the Class 4 cuckold closest to Lin You.

The scene suddenly went quiet. Lin You saw that the person who arrived was Wang Xinxin. After kicking the guy, Wang Xinxin didn't check the results but immediately rushed to Lin You's side, anxiously asking: " You, are you hurt? "

After Lin You shook his head, the cuckold who had been kicked over finally started to scream.

The other three hurriedly helped the cuckold up. After the cuckold got up, he said furiously: " Who the hell are you? You dare to hit me, do you believe I'll report you to the teacher? "

?

Report to the teacher?

Wasn't it you guys who wanted to start a fight?

Lin You and Wang Xinxin were stunned at the same time.

After two seconds, Wang Xinxin said angrily: " You still dare to quibble? I saw it all, you were the ones who started it. Four people pushed my Buddy hard together. If he hadn't had a stable stance, he would have fallen and cracked his head open long ago! "

The cuckold immediately said indignantly: " Who wanted to start a fight? He was faking it just now! We didn't use any force, we just wanted to pin him down and make him apologize! Who told him to secretly record? It got me a disciplinary action and a one-week suspension! "

Lin You completely didn't believe it, " Then what if I don't apologize? Does that mean if you don't beat me up, you'll let me go? "

The cuckold said loudly: " If you don't apologize, I'll take your phone and post three times in a row on WeChat Moments and your feed — — I am a big idiot! "

Hiss...

That's all you've got?

The momentum you had earlier when saying you were going to take me down was so fierce!

Wang Xinxin was also stunned, and only after a while did he stubbornly say: " To think you wanted to socially execute my Buddy, such an evil method! "

In the end, this "fight" ended just as it had begun...

Lin You and Wang Xinxin walked home together, and both were a bit speechless about those four from Class 4.

Wang Xinxin couldn't help but laugh and cry, " This is the first time I've seen people who are bad in such a fresh and refined way... "

Lin You put his arm around Wang Xinxin's shoulder, " My Buddy didn't waste his care on you. That flying kick of yours earlier was incredibly cool. "

Wang Xinxin didn't mind, " We're all Buddies. Set me as your emergency contact. If they dare to look for you again, dial my number in a second, and I'll rush over at top speed! "

...

Back home, it was already close to nine o'clock in the evening. Although it was Friday night and there was a weekend ahead, and he had just experienced an incident... Lin You didn't relax. Instead, he took the test papers out of his schoolbag and continued grinding problems.

After all, that fight didn't really happen, did it?

After the conversation opened up, Lin You walked up and, with one hand each, easily lifted two boys who were about 1.75 meters tall. After displaying his "extraordinary" strength, the four people opposite him immediately ceased their hostilities.

Couldn't pin him down... The four of them most likely couldn't pin Lin You down.

As for finding more people, what if it turned into a group incident?

Would he still be able to study?!

...

Saturday morning, Lin You slept in for the first time in a long while. His plan today was still to study, but he planned to change the location to the school classroom.

There was still a "Graveyard" mission regarding Wang Xiaoyi hanging in the system, which required grinding Wang Xiaoyi's favorability. Wang Xiaoyi was a boarding student, her family conditions were average, and she wouldn't waste money going home on a normal weekend.

When Lin You looked for Wang Xiaoyi last night, she was in the classroom for self-study alone. On weekends, she would most likely also be studying in the grade 12 class 7 classroom.

Around 9:30 in the morning, Lin You arrived at the classroom and found that Wang Xiaoyi was indeed there, and she was the only person in the classroom.

Lin You went up to Wang Xiaoyi and found that she was reading the photocopied Du Zhaoyu revision notes.

He slapped his phone onto Wang Xiaoyi's desk, displaying the WeChat QR code interface.

" Wang Xiaoyi, we are friends now, right? Scan me, let's add each other on WeChat. "

Wang Xiaoyi had been a bit uncomfortable ever since Lin You entered the classroom.

After the two-day weekend started last weekend, she had been the only one studying in the classroom for two consecutive days. She didn't feel lonely or bitter during those two days of solitude; instead, she felt very comfortable.

Now, Lin You suddenly popped up and immediately asked to add her on WeChat...

Well, it seemed she could barely count as his friend.

Lin You gave her Du Zhaoyu's revision notes, and she needed to help Lin You copy his Chinese Language and Literature and English homework for a month. It looked like a transaction, but in reality, she thought she had gotten the better end of the deal.

It was Lin You who helped her.

It could barely count as mutual help between friends.

Besides... the yogurt last night was delicious~

After thinking about it, Wang Xiaoyi took out an old Android contract phone from behind layers of books in her drawer. Her phone looked old, but it was very clean.

Wang Xiaoyi unlocked the screen somewhat nervously. Because the phone was lagging too much, several swipes failed, and her face slowly turned red.

Finally, after unlocking it successfully, she tapped on WeChat, one of the few apps on the home screen.

After another long wait, she finally entered WeChat and opened the scan function.

During this time, she glanced at Lin You a few times from the corner of her eye, but didn't see a trace of impatience in his eyes.

Feeling inexplicably at ease, with a "ding" sound, Wang Xiaoyi successfully scanned the code and sent a friend request to the user "Thinking of the Vastness of Heaven and Earth".

Hearing the sound of a successful scan, Lin You took his phone back from Wang Xiaoyi's desk while very naturally taking out his Chinese Language and Literature and English homework for the weekend from his schoolbag.

" There was basketball team training yesterday, I forgot to give you the homework. "

Wang Xiaoyi didn't say anything, silently taking the homework Lin You handed over.

Lin You operated his phone, tapped the little red dot on WeChat, and opened it to see the friend request.

" Little Artist Brave: Requests to add you as a friend. "

Little Artist Brave?

This inexplicably funny nickname made Lin You unable to help but chuckle.

" Your WeChat name is quite interesting. "

After saying this, Lin You turned his head and saw that Wang Xiaoyi was already blushing furiously.

" I only have a few good friends from the village on my WeChat... I haven't added any outsiders yet, you... don't laugh at me. "

Who doesn't like teasing a cutie?

Lin You immediately started trolling, " So I'm not an outsider either? "

Wang Xiaoyi clearly wanted to say "Yes", but was afraid that if she said that, it would make Lin You unhappy and he would take back Du Zhaoyu's notes.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Xiaoyi could only nod and say: " You are a friend. "

She added in her heart — — just not a good friend yet.

Hearing this, Lin You was inwardly delighted. As long as they were friends, it was fine. Then, shall we go on a "date" to the graveyard next?

Can't be too hasty, can't be too hasty...

Lin You hurriedly stopped the thought of celebrating prematurely. There were still ten full days until the monthly exam at the end of the month. As long as he took Wang Xiaoyi to the graveyard for a walk next weekend, he could complete the mission.

Now the primary task was to grind the friend's favorability higher.

Lin You couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. If the system's permission to create progress bars wasn't so rare and could be created arbitrarily, that would be great. He could create a progress bar for 【 Becoming Good Friends with Wang Xiaoyi 】 and monitor the progress of their friendship in real-time, knowing when he could take her to the graveyard...

After adding her as a friend, Lin You didn't go back to his own seat. He just sat next to Wang Xiaoyi and took out some actual math exam questions to start working on them.

Wang Xiaoyi, beside him, initially thought Lin You had other intentions, but after a long time, seeing him scribbling away on the test paper from the corner of her eye, and occasionally deep in thought, that trace of nervousness in her heart disappeared.

Maybe he just wanted to find a study Buddy.

An hour and a half later, Lin You finished a test paper and graded it against the answer key. Wang Xiaoyi felt him moving, glanced over, and saw a very large red "135" score.

Lin You's recent improvement in math grades was only known by Du Zhaoyu, Su Wenwen, who studied with him, and the math teacher, Old Zhang. Wang Xiaoyi subconsciously felt that Lin You had graded it randomly.

In grade 12 class 7, there was only one person who could consistently score above 130 in math, but that was the math class representative. Wang Xiaoyi had seen his previous score; he had scored 112 in math.

Only half a month, an improvement of over twenty points? Wang Xiaoyi instinctively didn't quite believe it, but after thinking for a while, she believed it again... Lin You was someone who had improved his total score by over a hundred points in the two months of summer vacation...

His brain must be quite smart.

Moreover, Wang Xiaoyi looked at the Du Zhaoyu revision notes in her hand. Lin You had received them earlier than she did; perhaps he had improved relying on Du Zhaoyu's notes?

If Lin You can do it, then can I do it too?

Wang Xiaoyi felt inexplicably excited, but in her heart, she realized... this favor from Lin You seemed to be even bigger than she had imagined...

After grading the test paper, Lin You took out his phone, took photos of a few wrong questions, and sent them to Old Zhang.

After finishing all this, Lin You felt that Wang Xiaoyi seemed to be looking at him from the corner of her eye. He turned his head sharply and precisely caught Wang Xiaoyi's sneaky gaze.

Wang Xiaoyi's face turned red again instantly, " No... I didn't... I just... "

This girl was so nervous she was almost incoherent.

Lin You didn't know why either, but when he was with Wang Xiaoyi, he liked to troll. He narrowed his eyes and laughed, " You like looking at handsome guys, right? I understand, good-looking people always have to bear more. "

Being teased by Lin You with such a grin, Wang Xiaoyi wasn't nervous anymore. She pointed to Lin You's phone.

" Are you taking photos of wrong questions and sending them to the math teacher to ask for advice? "

Lin You nodded, and seeing Wang Xiaoyi's envious look, he immediately picked up his phone and started operating it.

" Here, this isn't my privilege. Didn't I often go to the teachers' office at the Normal University to ask teachers questions before? Because there are no classes on weekends and evenings now, for convenience, I added the WeChat of teachers for various subjects. I'll push the WeChat of a few teachers to you. You can ask for advice whenever you want. "

Wang Xiaoyi mumbled: " I only have 500 points, will the teachers... "

Lin You tilted his head to look at her, " You know Wang Lian, right? She only has over 400 points, and recently she's even been running to the teachers' office at the Normal University to ask teachers questions. The teachers don't know how much they welcome it. Our class teachers are actually very nice. If you are a Little Artist Shy, and dare not go to the office to ask in person, adding them on WeChat to ask, the teachers definitely won't refuse. "

After speaking, Lin You performed a series of operations, pushing the WeChat contacts of four teachers: Math, Physics, Chemistry, and English. The Biology Teacher was old, so Lin You hadn't added them.

Wang Xiaoyi asked in confusion: " Why is there no WeChat for the Chinese Teacher? "

Lin You retorted: " What is there to ask about Chinese Language and Literature? "

Among Wang Xiaoyi's subjects, Chinese Language and Literature was the most outstanding. As a player with over 120 in Chinese Language and Literature, she thought for a long time but was actually unable to refute...

In the end, Wang Xiaoyi used her lagging phone on the side to add the WeChat of several teachers one by one. Finally, she couldn't help it and lightly tugged on Lin You's sleeve.

Lin You, who had already started writing the next test paper, turned his head and saw that Wang Xiaoyi seemed a bit shy, and her eyes were also a bit evasive.

Hiss...

Wang Xiaoyi wouldn't have had her friendship with me turn into something else just after being alone for a while, right?

" Lin You, could you please push Du Zhaoyu's WeChat to me too... "

???

Lin You was full of question marks. This was the second time he had heard this request. Last time, after Xie Xingmeng received Du Zhaoyu's revision notes, she also made this request and was rejected by him at lightning speed.

If Du Zhaoyu knew that he was using her revision notes to grind favorability with other girls...

" Why do you want to add Du Zhaoyu on WeChat? "

Is Xiao Yu'er some kind of female version of a succubus?

Lin You didn't directly refuse. After all, he had a mission to complete, and he was afraid that the sensitive Wang Xiaoyi would overthink if he refused directly.

Wang Xiaoyi's eyes were full of longing, " I admire her very much and want to be friends with her... even just WeChat friends would be fine... You guys must be very good friends, right? I've seen it several times; the motto she handwrote on the honor wall is 'Thinking of the Vastness of Heaven and Earth', which is the same as your WeChat nickname. "
