They all want to control me!

Chapter 28 You pervert!

Lin Ran has had a talent since childhood: he can block out external distractions and quickly get into a learning state.

He quickly finished compiling the paper and sent it to the professor.

It's 1:30 now, and class doesn't start until 2:00.

Lin Ran stretched and remembered that there was a bespectacled girl under the table in front of him.

He looked up and saw the girl with glasses sitting in a chair, her hands rapidly pressing keys on a keyboard, whether typing or writing code, he couldn't tell, and her coat was draped over her shoulders.

Lin Ran lowered his head and continued looking at the computer, watching the video lectures for his elective courses. These courses had a minimum attendance requirement; if you didn't watch enough, you wouldn't get credits.

1:50.

Lin Ran shut down his computer, put it in his backpack, and walked over to pat the girl with glasses on the shoulder.

"Hmm?" The girl with glasses looked up, her eyes behind her black-rimmed glasses showing some confusion.

"My clothes." Lin Ran picked up her coat. "I saw you lying on the ground and was worried you'd catch a cold, so I covered you with it."

Of course, he couldn't say that his feet were stepping on his Himalayas. He wiped them with a wet wipe and accidentally saw the color of his underwear.

If I told anyone, my buddy might get a guaranteed spot in graduate school—I don't know what kind of person this girl is, so it's better to be cautious.

"Oh, thank you." The girl with glasses put her left hand into her pocket and pulled out a packet of "One Scallion" cigarettes. "Here, a thank you gift."

"Um."

Lin Ran accepted the food and prepared to feed it to Tao Zhiyao during class.

You're so wicked! Don't you have any moral boundaries? You gave snacks that other girls gave you to another girl?

I seem to have no bottom line.

With her coat draped over her shoulders, Lin Ran turned to leave.

"Wait," the girl with glasses called out to him as she turned around.

"What's wrong?"

Do you come to the library every day?

"Sometimes I come, sometimes I don't," Lin Ran said, offering no guarantee.

"Oh." The girl with glasses lost interest at a visible speed, turned back to continue typing.

— Just now, Lin Ran saw that the girl with glasses had opened a Word document, but he couldn't see what it said.

Lin Ran left the library with her bag on her back, not taking the little incident that happened at noon to heart.

There's one political education class in the afternoon, and then no more classes.

On the way to the Hanfu club, Lin Ran tore open a scallion and fed it to the big-eater loli Tao Zhiyao.

Today's activity room was a large classroom on the second floor of the gymnasium. Lin Ran held Tao Zhiyao's little hand and stood at the door. Before they even went in, they heard some very strange noises coming from inside.

"Tao Zhiyao, I'm thirsty."

"I'll buy you some water!"

Tao Zhiyao, who was feeling drowsy in the political education class, immediately perked up and ran out of the gymnasium to the convenience store.

She really is a girl.

I've sent Tao Zhiyao away for now; I want to hear what's going on inside.

"Don't disband the Lotte Band! If I lose the band, I'll have nothing... I'll do anything as long as the band doesn't disband!"

"You're such a selfish person."

It's hard to hold back.

It seems to be an internal conflict within the Lotte Band.

Lin Ran doesn't meddle in other people's affairs. He called the club president, who was accompanied by a girl with an oval face. She was the student council president, and the two of them looked worried as they walked in together.

Not long after, the five members of the Lotte Band left dejectedly, the atmosphere heavy.

Just then, Tao Zhiyao ran back carrying two bottles of Vitamin C Storm. When she saw the five of them, she tensed up and hid behind Lin Ran, too scared to speak.

Lin Ran took her hand and led her into the classroom.

Later, more and more people from various clubs arrived. As she made more acquaintances, Tao Zhiyao became more willing to speak up.

"Lin Ran, did that band shut down?"

"It's highly likely that you'll be the lead singer."

"what?"

Tao Zhiyao was frozen in her seat as if she had been struck by Medusa's petrifying magic eye.

Just as Lin Ran had guessed, the president then announced:

"Everyone, after my mediation with the student council, the Lotte Band has disbanded, and we will be responsible for the music. Members who were assigned instruments last time, come over here, I need to check your practice results."

The final result was not good.

Aside from Lin Ran's diligent guitar practice over the weekend, which led to a significant improvement in his skill level, the other members' skills remained quite poor. No one had anticipated that the band's situation would deteriorate to this extent.

The club president pointed at Lin Ran and Tao Zhiyao sitting below, and said to the three girls with their heads down with a look of disappointment:

"Look at Xiaoran and Yaoyao. Clinical medicine majors have a lot of academic pressure, but they still make time to practice. On the other hand, you two Chinese literature majors have much less academic pressure. You go out to play on weekends, post on social media, and go to karaoke. You just don't listen to me, right?"

"I'm sorry, senior."

"It won't happen again..."

"My junior and Yao Yao are really working hard; we're holding them back..."

The atmosphere in the club was low.

Just like when we were kids, our parents would often say how great other people's children were. It made us feel uncomfortable, but if we could be the ones with those other people's children, it would be so great.

Lin Ran watched as the senior scolded another group of seniors, feeling a secret sense of satisfaction... No, no, I can't be a gloomy big boy.

He tried his best to put on a pained expression.

Lin Ran occasionally browses her WeChat Moments. She only clicks to look at her female classmates dressed in revealing outfits, admiring their figures and legs. After that, she continues doing her own thing, unaffected by the attention.

He had a particularly disgusting classmate in high school. The classmate had good grades but a terrible personality. He liked to see classmates with average grades taking a break during class when they got tired of doing tests. He would then go over and make sarcastic remarks about their lack of effort, which made him very unpopular.

At the time, Lin Ran was also a good student. When that classmate tried to recruit him, Lin Ran immediately replied, "I'll take the mass line," thus distancing himself from the group.

You are a person, not someone else's mother. Just mind your own business and stop being a busybody.

ding dong~

Lin Ran checked WeChat.

"Jiang Qiaoqiao: The copyright registration for 'Coral Sea' has been successful. I haven't entered your body yet, so it looks like tonight will be the first time I'll be controlling your body."

Lin Ran: OK.

Lin Ran: I suddenly feel like I'm a dark, damp, introverted big boy.

Jiang Qiaoqiao: [Transfer 1000 yuan]

"Jiang Qiaoqiao: The money for the plane ticket to Beijing can be used to get an appointment with a psychiatrist, and I'll get my brain checked before I come back."

"Jiang Qiaoqiao: If you're introverted, then there are no extroverts in this world; gloomy and damp... I don't know who told me on Saturday that they like to face life with a positive attitude... Based on the huge contrast between your past and present, I think you have a bit of schizophrenia. You should see a doctor and get treatment as soon as possible."

"Jiang Qiaoqiao: (A cool kitten with its head held high - JPG)"

Lin Ran's expression was strange.

He hadn't expected Jiang Qiaoqiao to know him so well, and to remember something she'd casually mentioned before.

So, he briefly told Jiang Qiaoqiao about what had happened in the club that day, as well as his own feelings.

Jiang Qiaoqiao: Brother, you're mentally sound, it's such a pity.

So, we're saying that the issue of the sworn siblings isn't over yet?

"Jiang Qiaoqiao: Hard work pays off, while laziness brings its own downfall. That's the truth."

Jiang Qiaoqiao: There's no need to be too demanding of yourself. It's normal for people to have emotions and desires. As long as you don't openly mock someone, you can feel good about yourself without bothering anyone else.

Lin Ran recounted her experience of encountering a disgusting classmate in high school and asked Jiang Qiaoqiao for her thoughts.

"Jiang Qiaoqiao: This kind of person believes in social Darwinism, that the strong can bully the weak at will, and if the behavior is more serious, it becomes school bullying. Lin Ran, although you are despicable, you have principles, so you are not really despicable. But this person is despicable inside and out."

"Jiang Qiaoqiao: The bottom line of civilized society is to guarantee the survival of the weak. Since that person likes Sheda, why not go live in the Amazon rainforest? That's where Sheda is, and you can even kiss a Purus crocodile."

Lin Ran: You seem to have a bit of a sharp tongue. This AOE attack hurt me a little, but... I think the same as you.

Lin Ran curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

It's not bad to have someone in the world whose ideas clash with your own.

【Ding! 】

[Teamwork +2]

[Compatibility with Jiang Qiaoqiao: 41]

Your draw count increased by 1.

You have received a mystery gift.

Lin Ran: By the way, I also wanted to ask you something. Why do girls' underwear always have a bow on the waistband?

"Jiang Qiaoqiao: To distinguish between the front and the back."

Jiang Qiaoqiao: Wait... how did you know there was a bow? Oh, so you're a perverted voyeur who peeks at girls' underwear!

Lin Ran: No, Tao Zhiyao made me see it openly and honestly.

Jiang Qiaoqiao: ???
