Chapter 1037: Chapter 471: The Upside-Down Chant of Pig Is
"Who the hell told us the title was ’Eat Beef’!!"
"So Su Shi is half English person now? He can even say ’beef’?"
"Why don’t you say Su Shi loves eating sushi, his name is sushi after all!"
"And don’t you think mixing Chinese and English is really low? I despise those who pretend like this the most!"
Concerning food, normally stable and composed Zhou Baowei couldn’t hold back and started grumbling:
"Just because it’s a spoof doesn’t mean you can spout nonsense, and adapting doesn’t mean you can change things at random! Apologize to Su Shi, to Chibi, and to beef for me!"
"The burning of Chibi" was a tragedy in itself, Zhou Baowei thought "Chi" was pitiful really, not to mention it hurts and she cries out, even if she’s lucky she’d turn into a white tiger, if unlucky she’d never be able to reproduce in this lifetime. These two are still joking here, with no empathy at all.
Bai Bufan missed Zhou Baowei’s rant entirely and counter-attacked with: "So are you eating beef or not?"
Zhou Baowei quickly replied: "Yes."
One thing doesn’t affect another, Chi may be pitiful, but it shouldn’t stop him from eating beef.
"So still seconds for Chi, huh," getting the predictable answer, Bai Bufan smiled and looked at Lin Li: "I told you, Bao Wei is like this, he can never become a patriot, nor can he believe in Taoism."
The "I don’t eat beef" patriot gag comes from a drama Koo Tin-lok acted in. He played a warlord who went to a noodle shop, ordered a bowl of beef noodles, and then bet with the shop owner’s niece that if there were green onions in the noodles, he’d kill them all.
The owner didn’t put onions, theoretically Koo Tin-lok lost, but after pausing for a moment, he smiled and changed his words to "I don’t eat beef," and then shot the owner dead.
If it were Zhou Baowei, no matter what you’re babbling about, onions or no onions, the beef noodles would already be eaten and he’d be wondering when the next bowl is coming up?
Baby tummy’s rumbling already!
Lin Li laughed and said: "The Taoist saying against beef-eating is because, back in ancient times, cows helped humans till the land, but times have changed now, so Taoist doctrine should be ’don’t eat tractors’."
"Then Taoism is even more pitiable, I’ve always found tractors very crunchy, very chewy, if I can’t eat them, what have I been living for all this time?" Bai Bufan said with some regret upon hearing this.
Zhou Baowei poked his head in: "Really? o.O? I’ve never tried it."
After a while, the classroom roughly returned to its original state, those who should head to the cafeteria did so, those who should return to the dorm did likewise, Lin Li and others stayed in the classroom, first nibbling on oden and the barbecue Wang Ze brought, filling their stomachs while waiting for their food delivery.
"My delivery is at the school gate," Zhang Haoyang raised his hand to indicate first.
"Your delivery is here so fast, let’s grab them all together later, one by one is a hassle," Lin Li suggested.
There are security cameras at the school gate, so as long as one doesn’t have the bad luck of encountering actual stray cats and dogs, there’s no need to worry about theft occurring.
"Alright," Zhang Haoyang nodded, but then asked: "Who’ll go get it later?"
Though the delivery is placed outside the school, the guards are generally willing to let students fetch their delivery as long as they step outside the gate briefly, meaning it wasn’t strictly Lin Li’s job.
The group glanced at each other, eyes filled with genuine brotherly love — you’re my brother, so you should offer to go, or you’re just a shitty brother.
The classroom is still a few minutes’ walk to the school gate, not exactly nearby.
"Rock-paper-scissors then."
None wished to volunteer, so in the end, they opted for a relatively fair method.
Wang Ze wasn’t present; he had gone for a sweet date with a senior. Those present were Lin Li, Bai Bufan, Yang Bangjie, Qin Zeyu, Zhou Baowei, Chen Tianming, Zhang Haoyang, seven in total.
The first round saw six people showing palm, with only Bai Bufan, the odd one out, showing back of hand.
Having pre-established and voiced the rules clearly, they had no reasonable grounds to cheat, so Bai Bufan dodged a bullet this time.
"Hey, hey, wait a moment," seeing the remaining six played two rounds both ending in ties, Bai Bufan suddenly got an idea and laughed: "Brothers, how about a quiz? I’ll ask questions, whoever can’t answer gets the delivery."
Lin Li and others looked at Bai Bufan.
Then, Lin Li raised an eyebrow, showing a trace of interest: "Oh? Let’s hear it."
"Alright," Bai Bufan chuckled, "Everyone say a short sentence, but the requirement is that when read backward, the meaning completely changes. Those who can’t come up with one go fetch the delivery."
Zhou Baowei: "Level-eight gale."
Qin Zeyu: "Brother is taller than me."
Zhang Haoyang: "Pirate King Baki."
Chen Tianming: "Brother Zhao, trust you with a few tasks."
Yang Bangjie: "I strongly left her."
·Quick·responses·.
Bai Bufan watched as nearly everyone answered instantly, holding back laughter as he beat the table.
Lucky to be assigned to Class Four, indeed, not being here would be lifelong regret.
No regrets in joining Class Four, even if reborn, none would wish to remain human.
Yet, recalling someone hadn’t spoken, Bai Bufan and the five who had answered, frowned staring at Class Four’s best, Lin Li.
This doesn’t add up.
"Lin Li, what’s your answer?" everyone frowned and asked.
"I’m tired, strike with Gundam style," Lin Li chuckled lightly, under everyone’s gaze, calmly stated:
"Head to the playground tomorrow, the school’s miss is super cute, really pretty."
After Lin Li finished, he raised his thumb.
"..."
"OHHHHH——"
As everyone tried to grasp this line, they immediately burst into cheers.
F*ck! It’s a chain move! A combo!
Lin Li lives up to his reputation!
Amidst the cheers though, Bai Bufan frowned, because this way, they couldn’t distinguish the weakest, which makes sense, given the problem is too basic, with Class Four’s mentor-student level, at least a few more rounds are needed to possibly sift out the weak.
