The Most Random System

"Lin Li, where are you putting your books? I want to put mine together with yours."

"You big baby, or are you obsessed with me? Even now, you want to stick together?"

"You don’t understand. Knowledge flows from high concentration to low concentration. If I put together with yours, my textbooks will be filled up quickly, always going ’oh-hohoho~ oh-hohoho.’ Later, when I look back, it’ll be twice as effective. This is the ’Star Absorption Method.’

"Dummy, all the knowledge from my books has already flowed into my body, they’re just empty shells now. And your books are still brand new. So, really, the knowledge from your side will flow to mine, and my textbooks are the ones that’ll become heavenly."

"Damn! That’s actually true! Get away from me!"

"Haha."

"Never mind, let’s put them together anyway."

"Still saying it’s not love?"

"No more acting, love you, mwah, kiss-kiss, daisuki~"

"Get lost."

"See, Lin Li, when I truly show love, Mr. Lin isn’t happy."

Some trivia.

Legend has it, in ancient times, there was a person named Mr. Lin, who often told people that he loved Nantong the most.

He engraved a pair of men on the stone pillars in front of his house, and there were also a pair on the rooftop, facing each other and crossing swords.

The garden was filled with Nantong everywhere - on stones, walls, and steps, all decorated with Nantong’s patterns...

The true Nantong from the heavens heard of such a person in the human world who was obsessed with this good thing and was deeply moved. He decided to descend and visit the mortal world to thank Mr. Lin and grant him some favors.

One day, Mr. Lin was taking a nap, and suddenly a storm brewed outside with lightning and thunder. Mr. Lin woke up terrified, rushed to close the windows, but unexpectedly, the divine form of the four heads appeared from outside the window, scaring Mr. Lin out of his wits.

As he turned to flee into the main hall, he saw four massive ’dragon tails’ stretched across in front of him.

The giant durian approached closer. With nowhere to escape, Mr. Lin turned pale, collapsed on the ground, losing consciousness.

The four heads looked at the fainted Mr. Lin on the ground, puzzled, and reluctantly flew back to the heavens.

This is the idiom tale of Mr. Lin’s obsession.

Getting sidetracked, it’s now Tuesday afternoon, and as this semester’s last class ends, everyone in Class Four is clearing out the books around their desks.

The desks have to be cleared for the final exams. Although there’s an evening self-study session, if you delay clearing, the books can only be placed in the hallway or even at the stairwell entrance.

During the midterms, Lin Li moved his desk directly into the hallway because he was too lazy to clear things. But finals are different from midterms. After finals, many books and papers are temporarily graduated; next semester, you only see the new faces smiling, not the old ones crying. Since they have to be cleared sooner or later, it doesn’t matter if they are cleared early or late.

"Damn, while clearing my drawer, I discovered I still have four meal cards hidden in there," Qin Zeyu remarked.

"Do you think my drawer doesn’t have your meal cards too? Here, take them," Zhou Baowei sighed.

Fake meal cards are just like fake food, which leaves Bao Wei heartbroken.

It’s just mischief.

Bai Bufan came over upon hearing this, looked at the pile of meal cards in Qin Zeyu’s hand, shaking his head with empathy:

"Zeyu, oh Zeyu, the semester is almost ending, yet you still haven’t made any progress, despite your efforts."

"Who the hell do you think is to blame for this!!"

Qin Zeyu laughed in frustration.

Lin Li didn’t participate in this conversation because Chen Yu Ying had already moved her books to the back cabinet.

Monogamous, the left side was piled up with Bai Bufan’s books, and there happened to be space on the right side.

Naturally, taking his girlfriend’s pile of books, Lin Li placed them on his right side. Seeing the chemistry book on top, he casually flipped it open.

Great, all the notes he wrote in pencil on Chen Yu Ying’s textbook last time are still there, and when the class president takes notes, they even intentionally leave those areas blank.

She just pampers me, Dad!

"Ugh—hey, why are our books different?" Lin Li suddenly expressed surprise but quickly reassured himself, "Oh, oh, it’s fine, being different is normal."

"Hmm? What’s different?"

Although it felt like Lin Li was about to say something strange again, Chen Yu Ying was still curious, approached to look, and asked.

Even if it’s weird, she wants to hear.

Lin Li was flipping through the last page of the chemistry book, with the indispensable periodic table.

"Didn’t notice? My periodic table is missing three elements, but I quickly realized it’s normal because—"

Lin Li first pointed at the table, raised his eyebrows, then pointed at Chen Yu Ying:

"Magnesium and aluminum are here, and my zinc is right here."

Chen Yu Ying: "..."

She’d rather hear Hell jokes.

Lin Li suddenly spoke again: "Class president, do you know what, from a chemistry perspective, the Beiyang Navy counts as? Dum-dum-dum-dum! The answer is: Soluble substance, dissolves upon contact with water."

Chen Yu Ying: "..."

Forget it, better listen to some cheesy love lines.

"By the way, the exam rooms haven’t been announced yet, is there any chance of us being in the same room? We haven’t been together in any exams this semester."

Cheerfully, Lin Li poked the dazed-looking Chen Yu Ying’s cheek and asked lightly.

"Probably won’t be announced until tonight. If the teacher gives me the task of rearranging positions like last time, remember to stay and help me after school." Chen Yu Ying responded.

"Yes, Sir!"

...

"The most poisonous hatred in the world is having fate without destiny~ It’s a shame you never felt sorry for~ my clumsiness~"

During the break after the first evening self-study session, Xue Jian finally brought the final exam seating arrangements and seat map to the classroom.

Unfortunately, they weren’t assigned to the same exam room.

Lin Li is in Room Six, while Chen Yu Ying is in Class Twenty. Let alone the same room, they’re even separated by several floors.
