Chapter 267 : The World Trembles for My Heart

"Moreover, those who only pull you a few handfuls when you encounter difficulties are not ordinary gays, but evil and insidious gays, because they definitely plan to use your predicament to pressure and coerce you.

We've read plenty of doujins. Just replace the female lead in the #blackmail# and #humiliation# tags with yourself."

"In our class, the one most willing to pull you a few more handfuls, the one with the most potential, happens to be Wang Ze. When you go on a date with him tonight, you can consider developing in this direction," Lin Li analyzed and suggested seriously.

"Fuck," Bai Bufan laughed and cursed. "Forget it, just pull me one handful, one handful is enough, thanks."

When it comes to changing colors like a chameleon, you have to look at Bai Bufan.

Chatting simply, after cheering for Qu Wanqiu in the women's 1500 meters, the next event they needed to cheer for was the shot put, which Zhou Baowei was participating in.

The two walked towards the shot put field.

"Lin Li, Bai Bufan, come over and help hold this."

When passing by the high jump area, a girl failed her high jump and even fell off the mat.

The referee for this event was Class 4's PE teacher, You Jun, so he called out to the two passing by.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan nodded, went up and held the fallen high jump bar steady, then hid their merit and fame, not needing You Jun's praise, and swaggered away.

You Jun: "?"

I fucking asked you two to help the girl who fell off the mat, who the fuck asked you two to hold the bar.

Giving you a chance and you're useless, huh?

If you two can get girlfriends, I'll eat shit.

...Forget it, Lin Li's conditions are quite favorable now. Bai Bufan, if you can get a girlfriend, I'll eat shit.

"I have gynophobia, why didn't you go help the girl?" Bai Bufan asked as they left.

"I have been betrayed three times, I'm afraid she'll extort me." Lin Li, who had been trained by Little Zhou into a master of preventing extortion, said as if he controlled everything.

(Translator's Note: A reference to Scaramouche from Genshin Impact).

"Reasonable."

"Baowei, keep it up, strive for second place." Arriving at the shot put field, Bai Bufan encouraged Zhou Baowei, who was warming up.

As for first place, it was already locked in by that shot put sports student from Class 9. Zhou Baowei would have to refine another Zhou Baowei to possibly beat him.

"Strive to finish the battle within seventeen minutes," Lin Li requested.

"Why seventeen minutes? Do you have something to do later?" Zhou Baowei asked curiously.

"Because the Senior One women's 800 meters is coming up, Lin Li has to cheer for the Class Rep," Bai Bufan answered for Lin Li.

"What if it's not finished in seventeen minutes?" Zhou Baowei felt it was time to test their friendship.

"Baowei, I believe in you."

"According to the process, with so many people going through three rounds, it really won't be finished in seventeen minutes. It's not a matter of believing or not," Zhou Baowei spread his hands innocently.

"What I mean is, because I believe in you, if you're not finished by then, I will safely entrust my back to you. This is the bond between us brothers!"

Lin Li pressed Zhou Baowei's shoulder and said passionately:

"Only to you can I entrust my back!"

Zhou Baowei: "..."

Your mom.

Low EQ: I'm going to find the Class Rep.

High EQ: Only to you can I entrust my back.

"Lin Li, when I compete later, stand on the grass, it will improve my performance, okay?" Zhou Baowei pleaded.

"Haha, no thanks."

"I beg you, bro."

"I also beg for Baowei, I really want to see this."

"This isn't a matter of begging or not, you two are fucking trying to kill me!"

...

The [Wind Control] specially saved for Chen Yuying finally came to use.

The 800 meters was only two laps. There shouldn't be any sports students in the same period. When Chen Yuying crossed the finish line, she was third, not too far from first and second.

If Lin Li manipulated the wind to blow against the first two places the whole way, perhaps he could help Chen Yuying take first place.

However, Lin Li felt that this kind of targeting was somewhat unnecessary.

Helping one's own people improve their performance versus making others lower their performance, Lin Li felt the latter was inappropriate.

Just like in the morning, after handing water to Chen Yuying, who was supported by Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu, Lin Li accompanied the three of them walking slowly around the inside of the field for nearly a hundred meters to cool down.

Chen Yuying drank the water in her hand in small sips, her brows furrowed the whole time. After walking for a while, she looked down at her left ankle and said somewhat uncertainly: "Just now when I crossed the finish line, I stepped wrong, my ankle... seems a bit sprained."

"Huh? Is it serious?" Hearing this, Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu immediately looked over and asked with concern.

"It shouldn't be serious, because it's just a faint pain, not to the point of affecting my walking," Chen Yuying immediately waved her hand to tell the two not to worry too much.

"Then let's go to the medical station to have a look first," Lin Li came over.

The sports meeting was inherently a time when injuries were more likely to occur, so the school naturally set up a medical station on the field.

Although Lin Li had [Healing], and even though the current [Healing] was definitely more powerful than when it could only eliminate half a bruise, it was still unrefined. It was more appropriate to let a doctor take a look first.

"Okay," Chen Yuying didn't try to be brave and nodded.

Arrived.

"It's just a sprained ankle, not serious. Resting for a day or two will be fine." After the doctor on duty checked Chen Yuying's condition, she said it was fine and sprayed some Yunnan Baiyao on Chen Yuying's ankle.

"Strenuous exercise will aggravate the condition, so if you have any more competitions, it's best to withdraw, and don't stand for long periods. Other than that, it's nothing."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher."

"You're welcome."

After simply rubbing her ankle with her hand to promote drug absorption, Chen Yuying put her shoe back on and prepared to stand up.

Seeing Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu still preparing to step forward to support her, she smiled and waved her hand: "No need, I needed you to support me just now because I was too tired after running. Now I have no problem walking by myself, it just hurts a tiny bit."

"Class Rep, I'll give you a massage later, and you won't even have this tiny bit of pain," Lin Li, who had been standing aside, started rubbing his hands together like a fly.

"I don't believe you, so perverted." Hearing this, Chen Yuying shrank her foot and moved half a step away from Lin Li.

"Whether you believe it or not, let's find a place to sit down and rest first. Let's go, to the spectator stands."

There weren't many empty chairs at the medical station, and students would come over one after another. It definitely wasn't appropriate to keep sitting here, and it was relatively far from the class base.

The spectator stands were just right, close by, and Chen Yuying could watch the rest of the competitions without moving.

"Okay," Chen Yuying nodded.

Although Chen Yuying said no need, Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu still supported her to the class's spectator stand area to sit down.

There were quite a few people in the spectator stands, basically everyone was active in their respective class bases.

There were even more pigeons here, suspected to be the ones released at the opening ceremony, which actually hadn't been retrieved.

"Then Yuying, you sit and rest for a bit? I'll accompany Ding Sihan to roll call first?" Qu Wanqiu and Ding Sihan didn't sit down, but asked after Chen Yuying sat down.

"Sure, I'm fine."

"Lin Li, Yingbao is in your hands," Ding Sihan pointed at Lin Li's nose and said.

"Leave her to me with peace of mind. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I will definitely ruin the Class Rep's innocence. Being alone with me, her life is over."

Lin Li firmly patted his chest, showing the responsibility a man should have at this time.

Chen Yuying: "?"

"Very good. When I come back, if you haven't ruined it, you're dead! Call us if anything happens, I'm going to roll call first," Ding Sihan nodded in satisfaction, then headed to the roll call area with Qu Wanqiu.

Chen Yuying: "???"

Before she could question him, there was a rustling sound in her ear. Chen Yuying turned her head, and Lin Li beside her had already stood up, placed her jacket, phone, water, and other sundries on the seat, and started rolling up his sleeves.

"Lin Li, what are you doing?" Chen Yuying said, somewhat amused.

"Completing the task Ding Sihan gave me," Lin Li squatted in front of Chen Yuying, looking up to meet her eyes while speaking, "Class Rep, quick, take off your shoe and sock, I'll give you a massage."

"No way," Chen Yuying gave Lin Li a reproachful look, subconsciously lifting her foot to shrink back towards her body.

But she forgot she was still wearing loose sports shorts. When she lifted her thigh, the shorts naturally fell due to gravity, revealing more than half of her fair thigh.

Just looking at it, it felt smooth and soft, and it would definitely be very comfortable to touch.

Slurp, slurp.

Bai Bufan, get the fuck off me!

"Lin Li—"

Lin Li's gaze was really getting more and more excessive now, he wouldn't even pretend not to look.

When Chen Yuying reacted, she put her leg down. But what made Chen Yuying helpless and amused was that Lin Li's neck and gaze also bent down with it. Chen Yuying really couldn't help reaching out and patting Lin Li's head, muttering:

"Peeping Tom..."

"Only those who wrong me know how wronged I am," Lin Li said deeply.

"Lin Li, I really want to kick you, but I'm afraid it'll make you even happier. So annoying, sigh." Looking at the fake-deep Lin Li, Chen Yuying sighed deeply, her tone full of distress.

"Class Rep, you're a really good judge of character."

"Tch—" Chen Yuying gently lifted her uninjured right foot, and her shin bone bumped against the squatting Lin Li's shin bone, considering it a kick.

"But Class Rep, I really have a set of massage techniques that can accelerate your ankle's absorption of the medicine and self-repair. Let me try," Lin Li smiled and returned to the main topic.

"I don't believe you," Chen Yuying still shook her head.

"Class Rep, when have I ever lied to you?" Lin Li's expression became even more hurt.

From Lin Li's perspective, Chen Yuying, pillowed by the sky and sunlight, looked at him quietly, her face gradually filling with a rich smile and teasing.

Uh, seems like quite a lot.

"But you'll believe me this time, right." Lin Li pointed his index finger at himself, licked his lips, and smiled brightly.

Yes.

When Lin Li looked at her with this confident smile, Chen Yuying already believed him.

"Then if there's no improvement, Lin Li, you're going to be in trouble," but Chen Yuying still said this verbally.

"Of course!"

Chen Yuying looked at Lin Li again, leaned over, and started untying her shoelaces. Her ponytail fell with her, the tips of her hair brushing against Lin Li's bent knees, tickling.

The moment the sports shoe was taken off, the dry autumn wind drilled between her toes, making her toes curl unconsciously.

"Why are the front and back soles of your white socks still white? Shouldn't they be a bit gray and a bit black?" Lin Li looked at the pure white socks and made a sharp comment.

"That's because you don't love hygiene," Chen Yuying smiled and despised him. Then her fingertips hooked the pure cotton sock cuff and pulled it down, revealing her left ankle glowing with luster, and the faint pink indentation caused by the sock at the ankle. Then she moved slightly forward and shook it in front of Lin Li: "Start."

Looking closely, the ankle was already slightly swollen now, not very obvious.

Lin Li had nothing to be shy about and grabbed it. After all, as a doctor, there are no men or women in front of you when saving lives and treating illnesses.

Even if it was Bai Bufan who sprained his ankle now, Lin Li would breathe as hard as he was now.

It's all the same.

The feel was icy cool because Yunnan Baiyao had just been sprayed on it. Grabbing the heel, his right thumb mischievously brushed across the arch of the foot. Chen Yuying suddenly stiffened her back, her instep arching into a beautiful curve. After suppressing the urge to laugh at that moment, she glared at Lin Li in shame and anger: "Lin Li—"

"Class Rep, don't move around, it affects my massage treatment," Lin Li didn't even look up, turning the tables on her.

So his head was knocked.

"Starting."

[Healing], activated.

Lin Li let Chen Yuying keep her left foot suspended in the air herself, and his hands began to wander and knead around her ankle.

Although the healing effect could be achieved without wandering, he still had to pretend to be massaging.

To ensure he could cover all the injured areas and reach the ability's ten-second limit per area, Lin Li rubbed very seriously.

"Class Rep, how is it? Do you feel a bit more comfortable?" After doing this for dozens of seconds, seeing that Chen Yuying hadn't given any feedback, Lin Li looked up and asked in confusion.

His gaze climbed up her calf, and the next moment unexpectedly crashed into her lowered eyes.

—Chen Yuying was resting one hand on her thigh, her chin resting on her palm, seriously and quietly watching Lin Li massage.

Therefore, the distance was very close.

He could even feel that when he looked up, the broken hair on his forehead touched Chen Yuying's cheek.

The distance between their four eyes was no more than ten centimeters. Every detail on the girl's face could be seen extremely clearly. Under the slightly trembling eyelashes, in the other party's pupils, Lin Li could clearly see his own reflection.

The noise of the distant field suddenly disappeared, as if the world had pressed the pause button.

Lin Li subconsciously raised his hand slowly.

"Bang!" The referee's gunshot came from the distance.

"Class Rep? Hello?" His movement paused, Lin Li put down his hand, leaned back slightly, and came back to his senses.

"Mhm?" Chen Yuying also sat up straight, twirling a strand of hair falling from her temple with her fingers.

"I was asking if you feel a bit more comfortable," Lin Li had already lowered his head, his inquiring voice gentle.

"Yes," Chen Yuying nodded, her eyes lowered looking at Lin Li's hands, then gradually moving to the hair whorl on top of his head, and said softly: "It was throbbing with pain originally, now it's eased a lot, a lot."

"Heh? What did I say? Awesome, right? And you still didn't believe me!" Lin Li's pride and claiming credit were completely undisguised.

"Awesome, awesome," Chen Yuying praised somewhat perfunctorily. She subconsciously wanted to shake her ankle, but remembering it was being held by Lin Li, she had to hold back.

She looked up at the distant field.

Eh?

Chen Yuying suddenly noticed Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei not far away inside the field, who were smiling and pointing at her.

And after the other party noticed her gaze, he immediately and violently turned 180° with Zhou Baowei to look the other way. Bai Bufan even suddenly did an air fadeaway jump shot. Chen Yuying could even imagine his awkward loud laugh.

Zhou Baowei also followed and shot one, just didn't jump up.

No, he jumped up, because there was an obvious tremor in the spectator stands.

Chen Yuying looked down at Lin Li in front of her, a hint of crimson flashing across her face.

Seems like he didn't jump, maybe the tremor I felt had nothing to do with Zhou Baowei.

"Lin Li, did I not bring my water?" Turning her head, suddenly feeling thirsty, Chen Yuying looked around and asked.

"The bottle I gave you?" Lin Li looked up and thought for a moment, then nodded: "You didn't have it in your hand when you came over, it should have been left at the medical station. Are you thirsty now?"

"Mhm, a little."

Lin Li subconsciously patted the pockets on both sides of his pants, then looked at his seat next to him.

Lifting Chen Yuying's jacket, there was indeed half a bottle of water.

"Right now there's only half a bottle I've drank from. I'll go to the medical station to get you a bottle later," Lin Li immediately said.

He couldn't leave yet, [Healing] couldn't be paused, the ability only lasted for one minute, he couldn't waste it.

"Or you compromise again and drink this half bottle of mine?" Lin Li smiled and gestured with his head.

"Then I'll compromise again." The water was picked up, the bottle cap neatly unscrewed, Chen Yuying tilted her head back, and the flowing water poured out from the suspended bottle mouth.

Gulp, gulp.

The cherry-colored lips were moist again, who dared to kiss them?

"Delicious," she said.

"Of course it's delicious, the water I've drank from is also sweet," Lin Li connected very naturally, as if this wasn't something that needed to be strange.

"I said I'm so thirsty, idiot." There wasn't much water left. After taking another sip, Chen Yuying screwed the cap back on and tapped Lin Li's head with the water bottle, "It means I'm too thirsty, so I have to compromise!"

(Translator's Note: "Hao he" (delicious to drink) and "hao ke" (so thirsty) sound similar).

"Okay."

The one-minute ability time had ended. Lin Li let go of his hands and stood up: "Class Rep, the massage is about done, does it still hurt?"

"It seems... it doesn't hurt at all?" Chen Yuying said uncertainly.

She didn't know if it didn't hurt now because it really didn't hurt anymore, or because she was so happy that she ignored this harmless pain.

"Didn't learn this massage for nothing." Lin Li took a look, the slight redness and swelling Chen Yuying's ankle had just now had completely subsided, it felt like it was cured.

It seemed the [Healing] ability had also gotten a good "growth" along with his own growth.

"What kind of massage is this? So magical." Chen Yuying moved her left foot for a while again, and finding no sense of obstruction at all, asked curiously.

"If I taught you, who would you massage?" Lin Li asked.

Chen Yuying blinked: "Sihan?"

"Then it's a pity, Class Rep, this is a Lin family secret art, it can only be taught to the Lin family." Then Lin Li had to shake his head.

Just as Chen Yuying was about to smile and tease a few words, her pretty face suddenly turned red. Not knowing what she thought of, she looked away.

When she came back to her senses, Lin Li was staring at his own hands.

Fortunately, he didn't sniff them, Lin Li can still be saved.

"What are you doing, Lin Li," Chen Yuying asked.

"I heard hands can also get athlete's foot," Lin Li turned his head and explained.

"They can, athlete's foot is a general term for a fungal infection, it's not just..." Chen Yuying nodded, suddenly stopped her voice, thought hard for three seconds, then stared at Lin Li and asked, her cheeks slightly puffed: "Lin Li, what were you thinking in your head just now?"

"I was afraid jade feet also have—"

Lin Li's words were interrupted by a flying mineral water bottle.

Lin Li accurately caught the empty water bottle, then narrowed his eyes: "Using my magic against me, and didn't even leave me a sip? Class Rep, you've angered me, I will take revenge on you in the kindest way."

"What do you mean by the kindest way?" Chen Yuying tilted her head, not understanding Lin Li's meaning.

Lin Li approached and smiled gently.

Then he picked up the shoe on the ground and ran.

Chen Yuying: "?"

Lin Li ran far away, turned back and waved at Chen Yuying, laughing loudly and saying that extremely cheesy pun: "Class Rep, what defeated you wasn't innocence (tian zhen), it was having no shoes (wu xie)."

(Translator's Note: "Wu xie" (no shoes) sounds like "wu xie" (innocence)).

Innocence is very kind.

"Lin Li!!" So this was the very kind way of revenge. After being stunned for a while, Chen Yuying blushed and shouted at Lin Li, "Lin Li! You elementary schooler! Give it back to me!"

Chen Yuying felt she wanted to scold him, was angry, but when the words came out, she seemed to hear her own laughter.

"Come get it yourself!" Lin Li made a face in the distance.

"I'll come then!"

Chen Yuying stood up, pursed her lips, slightly puffed her cheeks, and hopped towards Lin Li on one foot.

"Hey hey hey, don't fall! Here, here, here—" Lin Li approached holding the shoe.

When the pursuit problem became an encounter problem, the white doves in the spectator stands were startled by the movement of the two. The flapping of their wings covered the out-of-control roaring of two young hearts.
