Chapter 8 Crazy Thursday V You 5!
"Little Deer, what's wrong with you? You've been keeping your head down the whole time."
School started on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Since it was already the second semester of the second year of high school, we had already been divided into classes, so we were in the same familiar seats as last semester, and the people were the same familiar faces.
The second-to-last row, right side by the window, looking down at the desk at a 45-degree angle. Lin Jianlu's head was almost buried under the newly distributed study materials by Liu Qing, who sat in front of her. She finally lifted her head from the pile of papers, brushing her bangs back, pouting, and looking aggrieved:
"Qingbao, do you think my feet are big?"
"Uh..." Liu Qing paused for a moment, then looked down and saw that it was blocked by the desk and she couldn't see anything, so she looked up and asked directly:
What shoe size do you wear?
"39".
"...I'm 35."
"Ugh..."
Before Liu Qing saw the girl's eyes turn red rapidly, Liu Qing quickly waved her hand:
"No, no, no! Little deer, baby deer! You're tall, aren't you 173cm? 39cm is perfectly normal, isn't it?"
Then she saw the girl buried in the pile of books raise four fingers.
"Why compare fingers?"
"I'm 174."
"Oh my goodness, how come you're still growing?"
"Always hungry, eating when hungry, growing as a result, and that's how I ended up like this..."
Liu Qing swallowed hard, glanced down at her slender legs that even her school uniform tracksuit pants couldn't completely cover, then looked up at her short, light blonde hair that shone brilliantly in the sunlight, and then carefully examined her delicate face, hidden among the messy strands of hair, with her eyes half-closed like a lazy cat...
I looked down, opened my phone, selected the digestive tablets, and placed an order.
"By the way, where's Chen Chen?"
Liu Qing looked up at the seat behind Lin Jianlu and saw that it was empty. She glanced to the side and saw that her deskmate's seat was also empty, and she was stunned.
"Niu Zibin isn't here either? Class is about to start, where did they go?"
"I didn't finish my winter break homework, so I ran away to avoid punishment," Lin Jianlu replied softly, still slumped on the table.
"Didn't they say there's a circuit breaker mechanism for our winter break homework? Don't worry if you really can't finish it." As she spoke, Liu Qing held up her phone, which showed the message her homeroom teacher had sent to everyone last night.
"Hehehehehe..." Lin Jianlu suddenly laughed, her voice as wicked as a female ghost trying to drag people down with her.
She jumped up, her eyes gleaming: "Is it possible that last night, he and Niu Zibin were busy catching up on their homework and didn't see this message at all? They were working on it until 3 a.m., but still hadn't finished. So the two of them went completely mad and ran to 600 Wanping South Road begging for shelter, and then some mentally ill person with size 46 sweaty feet came out, yelled at them for disturbing the peace in the middle of the night, and kicked them into the Huangpu River!"
"So that's why Chen Chen's chin is swollen today?"
The blonde girl's excited, wicked laughter abruptly stopped.
"No." She leaned back on the table, pouting, and reverted to her lazy, kitten-like demeanor.
"Little deer, you're so cute..." Liu Qing reached out and rubbed Lin Jianlu's smooth, fair face, making a soft, sweet purring sound in her throat, just like a real kitten.
But in the blink of an eye, the kitten became an old man!
Lin Jianlu suddenly looked up, his eyes wide open, a cold glint flashing in them. His eyes, which had been dazed just moments before, now gleamed with the sharpness of a hawk and the fierceness of a wolf, revealing his dragon-like nature!
"What's wrong?"
"Puppy love!" She slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
"Huh? What do you mean by puppy love?"
The girl bent down, tightened the heels of her slippers, and strode away without looking back.
"My son is starting to date!"
"Huh?" Liu Qing stared blankly at the blonde girl's departing figure, then looked around and saw that she was still wearing baggy sportswear and surrounded by mountains of books and exercises. Only then did she realize that she had not traveled to twenty years in the future.
"Little Deer, are you out of your mind?"
……
I was never confused!
[Urgent Mission: Your beloved son has shown signs of early romantic relationships since fourteen years ago. Please nip this in the bud without compromising his mental health. Mission Reward: 350 RMB]
Walking down the corridor of the teaching building, Lin Jianlu looked at the ridiculous task in front of her and felt both annoyed and amused.
This system is really something. You could have just been vague and said your son was going to have a relationship, but you had to add "thirteen years ago" as if you were afraid people wouldn't know you're mentally challenged, right?
Moreover, the rewards for this task are incredibly stingy. The first one is 300, the second one is 350, and there are even round numbers. Let's be honest, you're talking about something supernatural, something like a dream. Can't you dream a little more imaginatively? 1000 is too much. Is it so hard to give me 500 or 800?
Hmph! A stupid system paired with a stupid host!
Of course, this host refers to Chen Chen, who is also bound to it.
Following the reward for completing the beginner's task, which was the cool "numerical observation filter" in her field of vision, Lin Jianlu successfully found Chen Chen's location.
Incidentally, besides being able to provide the child's coordinates, this is how Lin Jianlu sees Chen Chen now:
Son: Chen Chen
Mother-child intimacy level: 10/100
[Physiological Health Value: 75/100]
[Mental Health Score: 55/100]
To be honest, it's quite similar to the affection system in RPG games, but Lin Jianlu's purpose isn't to increase affection; she wants to use it to make money.
Moreover, from a long-term perspective, this level of intimacy should not be increased as much as possible. After all, once they become intimate, it is inevitable that... well, some sparks of love may fly. She really doesn't want to marry him as the system predicted; that would be too stupid!
Of course, please also note that the "stupidity" here does not refer to her being stupid! It refers to Chen Chen being stupid.
For example, right now, after leaving the teaching building and sneaking into the now deserted club building, hiding behind the door of the anime club, she could clearly see that group of idiots, including Chen Chen and Niu Zibin, sitting together plotting something.
Uh? Anime club?
Yes, although she had heard that many high schools in mainland China did not have any so-called interest clubs, this was Shanghai. From what Lin Jianlu knew, almost every high school here had such things, and Chen Chen had even invited her to join.
What? You want to show off your Shanghai expertise even in a place like this?
Hmph! Anyone who has paid even a little attention to Chen Chen's phone knows that the so-called anime club is nothing more than a bunch of nerdy idiots who like to look at wooden cabinets (except for Asuka, of course), posting lewd pictures, arguing, and verifying in a boring group chat.
Moreover, these idiots' brains have recently been invaded by a bunch of domestically produced anime-style mobile games, and even core topics like "anime" are almost completely abandoned. So for a fundamentalist animation Brahmin like Lin Jianlu, joining this kind of organization is not as good as going out for a crazy meal...
Thinking of this, Lin Jianlu suddenly looked up.
She seemed to understand why the system had given her 350 yuan earlier!
Today is Thursday!
