Thinking of this, Wang Lei felt a bit of a headache.

The family is really strict about this.

The last time, maybe to check whether I was following the rules while home alone, they purposely left the gas on when they went out.

Damn it, thankfully I resisted the urge to smoke that time. Woke up only because of gas poisoning in the hospital, not because of a gas explosion in the underworld.

Thinking of this, a wave of sorrow came over Wang Lei:

Curse you, Bai Bufan, I, Wang Lei, will never rest until I see you dead!

...

Far away at Nansang Middle School.

Sweetly asleep, hugging his quilt, mumbling little burps and farting cute little baby farts, Bai Bufan reached back in his sleep to touch his spine.

Feels like I need to check my vertebrae, or else how could I be shouldering so much blame at such a young age.

...

Late night.

[Face-to-face discouragement... a hundred times (67/100)]

The apartment full of love is a lie; there is no two thirty club.

At two thirty in the morning, Lin Li, having failed to find the club, pedaled home.

The task was more than halfway complete, and if I use the same trick again after tonight's classes, I should be able to finish it.

It's not because Lin Li was tired that he didn't finish the task in one go; it's mostly because there were fewer customers. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

After all, today is not a weekday. As the time passed 11 PM, the business at the internet café visibly quieted down; of the less than twenty customers just in the café, more than half were asleep, and the task progress only moved 1.

Efficiency is too low.

However, Lin Li estimates that around four or five o'clock, although the number of customers won't increase, there might be more people smoking to try to stay awake.

But there's no need to specifically wait for this time; better to go home and sleep, then head out again tonight since the task isn't time-limited.

Pack up, sleep at three, wake up at four-thirty to exercise. Hooray, there's still an hour and a half to sleep!

...

Lin Li's sleep efficiency continues to increase with the "Fruit of Persistence." After sleeping beautifully through an English lesson in the morning, he was refreshed once again.

Lunch break.

"Daniel Wu taught Kobe~ Liang Jingru taught Kobe~ Lay Zhang kissed Kobe~ Jay Chou saw Kobe~ Guo Degang taught Kobe~ Bald Qiang saw Kobe~ Hong Xiuquan taught Kobe~ Da Zhangwei thanked Kobe..."

Lin Li hummed the Kobe song, and right after class ended, headed alone to the electrical room.

Xue Jian refused to come with him, saying he was grown up and needed to be independent.

Listening to these rebellious lyrics, Liu Feng's mouth twitched slightly. After deep thought, he gave an evaluation:

"Daniel is the most foot-oriented, Liang the most prime minister-like, Lay the most direct, Jay the most generous, Guo the most heavy-tasting, Bald the most violent, Hong the most flashy, Da Zhang the most timid."

The cutting remark made Lin Li laugh. After laughing, seeing Liu Feng standing there alone without finding Zheng Hong, he curiously asked, "Where's Master Zheng? Smoking in the bathroom?"

Thinking of this, Lin Li expectantly walked towards the bathroom.

Not expecting the task progress to increase, but looking forward to another chance to tease Master Zheng. Awesome.

"Don't go, he's indeed smoking, but not in the bathroom," Liu Feng said with a laugh as he stopped Lin Li, nodding towards the blocked entrance of the school:

"Master didn't come inside at all just now. Told me to carry stuff over first while he smokes for a bit. He's probably having fun at the school gate now.

By the way, he asked me to see if you want to arrest him. You can go check it out."

"That Master Zheng is really petty," Lin Li simply commented with a smile, not intending to go anyway.

Within minutes, Zheng Hong, feeling carefree and floating, came over to the two.

The smell of smoke on him was so strong, even Liu Feng, used to having people with smoke around him, covered his nose.

Just as Zheng Hong wanted to speak, a bout of coughing burst from his throat: "Cough cough cough—"

Liu Feng furrowed his eyebrows, about to ask Zheng Hong how much he smoked to cause this, when he suddenly turned to Lin Li in shock.

"Lin Li, why are you crying (;☉_☉)?"

Lin Li's eyes weren't red, but clear tears were undoubtably flowing at the corners of his eyes.

What? Why?

Lin Li wiped away the ''tears'' squeezed out by "Five Elements Technique," shaking his head and choking up, "Nothing, I was just moved by Master Zheng's heartfelt words."

"What heartfelt... hey wait, don't call coughing heartfelt words!"

Feng paused midway in his question, suddenly realizing and completely unable to hold back his disapproval.

"Cough cough cough—!!!" On the side, Zheng Hong was first stunned before being choked into even more intense and insane heartfelt words, with physiological tears spilling out from his core.

Liu Feng: "..."

Liu Feng looked at Lin Li crying from being moved on his left, and Zheng Hong crying from coughing on his right.

Hmm.

He wanted to cry too.

Forget it, he'd rather just die.

...

"Master, how much did you smoke?"

Liu Feng stepped up, patting Zheng Hong's back, then poured water from a bottle Lin Li handed him, finally halting the coughing fit. He furrowed his brow and asked.

Zheng Hong, now gulping down water, raised an index number upon hearing.

"A pack?" Liu Feng frowned, "Master, I'm worried with you smoking like this. If you die, what's going to happen to me without transferring status? I don't want to start from scratch under someone else as an apprentice."
