The Most Random System-Chapter 709 - 365: Only Higher Authority Can Defeat Authority

"No insiders here, let's bring out some old jokes," Lin Li looked at Zeng Ziang and said, "I'll start: many elderly people have heart attacks or strokes."

Zeng Ziang stood still at first, then covered his face with a sigh. Though he did laugh, it was a helpless one.

He didn't say a word, just turned away and began to distance himself from Lin Li.

Research shows that swim trunks have a significantly negative impact on swimming speed—for otherwise how could one explain Zeng Ziang's swimming being so much slower than when he was skinny-dipping earlier, and now he's being extra cautious, checking his trunks from time to time.

Suddenly, Lin Li's pupils shook with shock!

"Brother Ziang! Danger!!"

"What's wrong?!" Zeng Ziang grabbed the poolside with one hand and clutched his pants with the other, looking back with a mix of caution and dread.

If he was incredibly dense before, Zeng Ziang was now ultra-sensitive.

At the slightest hint of trouble, he would react instinctively.

"The pool water is boiling! I just saw bubbles coming from behind you! Run!" Lin Li had already dashed to the poolside, pointing behind Zeng Ziang, looking absolutely horrified.

Zeng Ziang: "..."

Zeng Ziang hesitated, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say, "Lin Li, has anyone ever told you that you speak a bit too euphemistically?"

Lin Li shook his head, "No, my friends usually say I'm brutally honest, and you said the same thing when we first met."

"Both your friends and I are just being truthful," Zeng Ziang smiled.

—Damn, all I did was let out a fart, no need to remind me like that!

Alright, to be precise, it wasn't just one, but a string of them.

I must say, Lin Li's acting skills are quite impressive, that little terrified look was played so genuinely, it really seemed like he was scared, haha.

Zeng Ziang didn't find it funny.

...

"Lin Li, it's about time. If we want a shower, we should head out now," Zeng Ziang said to Lin Li as he swam back over.

"Hm?" Lin Li took off his goggles, looked at the digital clock in the hall, confirmed the time, and nodded, "Yes, it's time." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

It's been two hours and ten minutes since we started, with twenty minutes left as a buffer for showering and drying hair, just right.

The task progress made another leap forward, not too far from completion; Lin Li planned to swim a few more rounds after finishing the second part of the exam.

"Lin Li, your stamina is incredible, swimming non-stop from start to finish, and at such speed too."

When Lin Li got out of the pool, Zeng Ziang looked on with envy and said.

Seeing Lin Li swim back and forth nonstop at a fast pace, Zeng Ziang went from being shocked initially to eventually becoming numb.

Tall and handsome, with a great physique and athletic ability maxed out, and impressively endowed—what window did God actually close for Lin Li?

The admiration in those old men's eyes when they saw my 'lion' wake up, that same admiration is now in my eyes looking at Lin Li.

Moreover, Lin Li's 'lion' hasn't even awakened yet.

Zeng Ziang would never forget, the heartbreaking words his ex-girlfriend said when they broke up—

"Zeng Ziang, you always say it's better to have a short pain than a long one, but you're not long enough, and I don't feel any pain, let's break up."

She clearly said I was cute when we first got together.

Boohoohoo.

"Actually, I take breaks often, you just didn't notice, Brother Ziang," Lin Li heard the praise and casually made a friendly lie to comfort him.

"Still impressive," Zeng Ziang shook his head and then waved his phone:

"Lin Li, I sent all the photos I took just now to your WeChat; check them out for yourself. The lens might have water on it, so they may not be too clear, but make do."

"No problem, just having them is great, thanks a lot, bro."

"No biggie, let's go."

"Alright."

They returned to the changing room to wash their hair and bodies, got dressed, and after making sure they hadn't left anything behind, they headed to the communal hairdryer area.

Lin Li took out his phone, and his non-group chat notifications on WeChat had already hit 99+, mainly due to the photos Zeng Ziang sent him.

However, a 'new' avatar appeared in the message list, drawing attention.

"Fan Hong: 'Link: Qingyuan's networking tea party this month is now open for registration.'"

"Fan Hong: Bro, we have an event this month tomorrow afternoon; do you want to join? If so, I'll sign you up. You're an annual member, so there's no cost."

Fan Hong was the agent from YZ Marriage Agency that Lin Li visited last Sunday.

Is the event this week? Lin Li thought there had been no notifications on weekdays, assuming their family's event for this month was next week.

Announcing the event just one day before feels sudden. I can't just ask the group if they want to join; they've all gone home.

But if I miss it this month, I'd have to wait till next month; it's a good chance for the experiment, so it wouldn't be fitting to skip it.

After some thought, Lin Li made up his mind.

"Bro," Lin Li looked at Zeng Ziang.

"What's up?"

"I recall Aunt mentioned you were still single during the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? Bro, are you still single now?" Lin Li asked with genuine sincerity in his words.

Zeng Ziang: "..."

"Lin Li, are you, like my mom, unable to use public transportation normally because you carry a concealed weapon?"

Zeng Ziang stared at Lin Li's mouth, his mouth twitching slightly, and sighed deeply.

"So, are you still single?" Lin Li didn't answer, only continued to hit the sore spot.
