"I'm male, you're female. Do you understand that?"
Hearing this opening line, Chen Yuying's brain froze for an instant.
"Huh? Um." She voiced her confusion, then nodded somewhat dazedly, "Oh! Yes, I understand. Hm? Eh? What else would it be?"
So many interjections displayed the question marks filling the girl's mind at this moment.
She indeed wanted to wait for something big, but it shouldn't be a pile of big something.
Lin Li sighed. The mission still wasn't complete. So in the end, did he really have to carry out this most beastly educational endeavor himself?
He took a deep breath, then exhaled.
Though thousands stand against me, I shall go forth!
A real man living between heaven and earth—how can I remain depressed and subordinate for long? Humble origins are no shame. Being able to bend and stretch is what makes a man. I'm not afraid of the little trap you've set for me, System. This physiological education mission can't kill me!
But before going forth, Lin Li still had to say: System, I fuck your feng shui.
"No, you still don't understand." Lin Li shook his head. "First, I'm not a pervert. Second, remember my first point—I'm really not a pervert."
Lin Li continued backing away, increasing the distance between them while adding protective layers.
Chen Yuying: "?"
"Now, let me educate you about the differences between men and women!
Men, although they are creatures without advantages, have one strong point! Women are quite the opposite—not only do they lack strong points, they even have one shortcoming. But actually, men and women are fair. Women have a full two advantages!
Now, let's analyze why the pairing of men and women is the most suitable natural order. The answer: Men like to grasp women's two advantages and use their own strong point to make up for women's shortcoming!"
Chen Yuying: "???"
Chen Yuying was stunned, staring blankly at Lin Li, while Lin Li also looked at her—actually looking at the virtual system interface between them, silently praying.
A few seconds later, the system popped up a notification: [Mission Five completed.]
Great! I'm a genius!
A genius youth's great victory!
Sure enough, because Chen Yuying already understood this knowledge, he only needed to guide her thinking in this direction to count as successful education. He didn't need to describe organs in detail with scientific terminology like in middle school science textbooks.
But before Lin Li could start celebrating this, he first covered his ears.
"Ah!!! Pervert!!" Almost synchronized with the system message came Chen Yuying's flushed face and screaming.
After all, mission completion meant Chen Yuying had completely understood Lin Li's meaning.
Sigh, he'd clearly added protective layers just now, so why was she still calling him that?
Why had he kept backing away to increase the distance between them? Wasn't it to give Chen Yuying more sense of security?
The remaining boy and girl in the classroom were instantly attracted by this scream, looking toward the corner where the two were located.
The male student even immediately stood up, seeming to want to play protective knight as he asked, "Class monitor, what happened? Did Lin Li do something to you? Should I call a teacher?"
You see.
This was why Lin Li couldn't get along with this type of person.
Always threatening to call teachers at the drop of a hat. Lin Li's two most hated types of people were tattletales and those who stopped him from tattling.
Lin Li ignored this classmate named Wang Yuezhi and explained to Chen Yuying instead:
"Class monitor, calm down, calm down. I said that for a reason. Don't worry, I'll explain it to you, and you'll understand." From far away, Lin Li held up both hands in front of him, trying to soothe her.
Seemingly realizing she'd screamed too loudly, Chen Yuying quickly covered her mouth, her small face flushed red with embarrassment.
She turned toward Wang Yuezhi and waved her hand, "It's fine."
Wang Yuezhi nodded somewhat reluctantly and sat back down, though Lin Li could notice his gaze still lingering in their direction.
Hehe, classic unrequited love, but simps don't deserve good endings.
At this moment Chen Yuying also looked back at Lin Li, still embarrassed and annoyed as she put her hands on her hips, "Give me an explanation."
"The tape is in Bai Bufan's bottom drawer, look!" Lin Li's mouth moved faster than his brain, blurting out the old joke. After realizing what he'd said, he noticed the color that had just faded from Chen Yuying's cheeks instantly surge back up.
This color change was quite sensitive—felt like it could be hung on the road as traffic lights. Hey, pretty fun actually.
Shit, this wasn't the time to think about that.
"Not that kind of tape!"
"Ahem, it's like this, class monitor. What I said just now was necessary groundwork for the following description. Let me emphasize one final time—I'm really not a pervert." Lin Li said.
However, the doubt in Chen Yuying's eyes didn't retreat because of this.
Normal people don't repeatedly emphasize they're not perverts.
"The next part needs to be said quietly. I'm afraid someone might eavesdrop. Why don't you sit down?" Lin Li had already retreated to the storage cabinets at the back. This conversation was tiring, and he had to control his volume too.
So he walked back to his seat, pointing at Bai Bufan's chair.
Perhaps curiosity overcame fear of perverts, as Chen Yuying still sat down. They say proper ladies only sit on half a chair when sitting, and Chen Yuying did just that—except she sat on the half farthest from Lin Li, which didn't seem very ladylike either.
Wang Yuezhi's gaze in the distance was getting more intense.
Having a whispered conversation with your goddess—so annoying, so annoying, so annoying. Just this NTR feeling was satisfying.
However, Lin Li knew, the urgent matter was salvaging his reputation.
"Class monitor, you must understand what I meant just now, and that behavior—or more precisely, that desire—often leads to criminal acts." Lin Li said with a serious and proper expression. "What I helped police solve was a case related to this aspect."
"It went roughly like this: Not long ago, I picked up one of those small cards deliberately scattered around. You might have seen them too. I was very interested in it—wait! Don't call me a pervert again. I'll emphasize one last time—I'm really not a pervert.
My interest wasn't the kind of sensual interest you're thinking of."
Chen Yuying, having been predicted, pursed her lips and looked half-believing as she signaled Lin Li to continue.
"What I was thinking at the time was whether I could bring the people behind these cards to justice! So I began investigating and collecting evidence. Finally, I found a shop corresponding to the cards. Then I used my after-school time and weekends to stake out the shop, take photos, collect information, and even interview customers.
Finally, through my painstaking efforts, I gathered enough decisive evidence. I immediately went to the police station to report it. Using the information I provided, they easily eliminated the den behind those cards! That's why they came to school today through the principal to find me and commend my actions."
"Really?" Although it was all Lin Li's fabrication, this fresh and amazing news still left Chen Yuying stunned, asking somewhat surprised.
"Of course it's true. I estimate the commendation letter is already posted on the bulletin board downstairs. Class monitor, if you don't believe me, you can go look. But it doesn't mention these case details I told you—it just says I helped the police, since this sort of thing isn't suitable for public discussion."
Chen Yuying nodded somewhat amazed. After all, he'd mentioned the bulletin board, so it should be true.
Good, she believed it. He'd successfully bluffed her. Lin Li was relieved.
He could never tell Chen Yuying the real version.
In front of Bai Bufan, he could be a shameless, but he still had a face to maintain in public.
"But I still have one question." Chen Yuying asked.
"What?"
"So why did you have to say those... those... those perverted things about men's and women's strong points and shortcomings before talking about this case?" Chen Yuying looked puzzled.
"First, I'm not a pervert. Then, didn't I already explain the reason? It was to help you better understand the motivation behind this case—necessary groundwork. Class monitor, I put a lot of thought into this. Finally, I'm really not a pervert." Lin Li said earnestly.
Chen Yuying wanted to nod but still felt something was off.
That's not right.
Lin Li could have just directly told those case details, and she would have understood.
This male-female difference stuff was completely meaningless buildup!
It felt like a pervert forcibly finding excuses for his perverted behavior.
Chen Yuying paused, looking at Lin Li with some dissatisfaction at not getting the truth, "If you like preludes so much, why don't you start from Nüwa creating humans?"
Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Legend has it that Nüwa used clay to model humans after herself, creating and constructing human society..."
Chen Yuying, "You're actually saying it!"
