The Most Random System-Chapter 779 - 386: Middle Man, Danger! Your Position Is About to Be Taken by Lin Li!_3

Usually, giving evasive answers like "whatever" or "anything is fine" when asked to choose is quite annoying, but Lin Li didn't feel that way at all at the moment.

Because the palpable anticipation had already been clearly conveyed to him through her slightly flushed cheeks, tightly clenched fingers, wandering gaze, and the soft, gentle tone of her voice.

The shyness of a young girl, isn't it the most moving and silent love confession in the world?

"So should I say it when I get home?"

"...Alright."

...

In the classroom.

Wu Min, completely unaware that her son was out charming girls, was a bit bored at the moment.

Turns out this parent-teacher meeting was almost not going to cover the content of the midterm exams.

Originally, she had thought if Xue Jian insisted on inviting her, Wu Min actually wouldn't mind going on stage to share her parenting experiences, and how Lin Li had improved over 400 places in half a semester through her efforts.

—This morning, when Wu Min was idle, she was pondering these speech topics.

She had already drafted the speech in her mind.

Unfortunately, completely useless.

In fact, besides Bai Bufan's mom next to her, it seemed no one knew she was the mother of the top-ranking student.

Sigh, Lin Li being number one in the grade was a wasted effort.

It didn't matter if he wasted it, but the main point was that her attending this meeting was in vain.

She would go home and find a chance to scold Lin Li.

"That's the plan of the school, but there's no need for everyone to be anxious.

The specific subject selection will be officially attempted after the midterm exams next semester, and after the second monthly exam, the school will decide from the dozen combinations selected from the first attempt."

After briefly explaining the current subject selection policy and the school's corresponding measures, Xue Jian took a sip of water to moisten his throat and stepped aside to let the parents take pictures of the PPT.

Even though the PPT would be sent to the parents' group, some parents couldn't resist taking pictures, and once one person did, almost everyone followed. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Xue Jian was used to it; most parents have this habit after being a class teacher for so many years.

Wait, was it just an illusion?

Xue Jian glanced down and was stunned.

Why was Lin Li's mom zoning out?

Nevermind, it's not important.

It's just bad to blame the child for the parent's behavior... Forget it, this parent is the most hardworking. Xue Jian felt a bit guilty for criticizing her in his mind.

Once all the parents finished taking pictures, Xue Jian spoke again, "Now, parents can take out the envelope I just gave you."

"Inside is a letter your child wrote to you, you can open it and have a look now."

"Some words are hard to say even to those we are closest to..." Xue Jian recited the 'advertisement words' like a broadcaster, then took out his phone.

You've all been happily taking pictures; now it's my turn to take pictures of you!

Sigh, public schools are troublesome.

Wu Min took out the envelope addressed to Lin Li, but her expression lacked anticipation, only the feeling of facing a formidable enemy.

Her throat even rolled a bit.

Again?

Wu Min took a deep breath, carefully opened the envelope as though she were a bomb removal expert, and took out the paper.

"Please look at it for a while, otherwise Old Jian will find out I didn't write seriously enough, if allowed, you can have a good cry, Sister Min, please."

Wu Min let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

A similar activity, she had participated in during elementary school.

Back then, she thought Lin Li could still be saved, thought maybe Lin Li would write something touching, so Wu Min treated and read it very seriously.

The result was Lin Li wrote a joke.

—This led to other parents in the class crying or choking, while only Wu Min couldn't hold back her laughter, attracting everyone's attention.

Wu Min struggled so hard at the time, you could ask how long Lin Li exercised at home that day—running from a feather duster sure counts as exercise.

This shadow was too great for Wu Min, so now seeing the content, she felt it was amazingly normal.

But it's tricky she has to pretend to read carefully.

"Pfft—"

Upon hearing the unfamiliar laughter, Wu Min instinctively looked to the side.

The source of the laughter was Bai Bufan's mother, who at the moment was covering her mouth.

Wu Min saw the content on the paper in her hand:

"Mom, do you know how to draw a butt? Let me teach you."

"(Jie)"

"↑ Done."

"Additionally:"

"(Jie) + Attention! = (Ge)"

"(Ge) + At ease! = (Jie)"

"Attention: (Ge)! At ease: (Jie)!"

"Pfft—" After realizing what kind of 'butt' it was, Wu Min quickly covered her mouth, suppressing her laughter.

Hearing Wu Min's laughter, Bai's mother also looked over.

She reciprocated, Wu Min simply handed Lin Li's 'work' to Bai's mother.

Bai's mother took it and raised an eyebrow after reading it: "In elementary school, when Bufan participated in this activity, he wrote about the same thing..."

The next second, Bai's mother looked up and made eye contact with Wu Min who had been watching her.

"Bufan's mom, Lin Li usually..."

"Lin Li's mom, Bufan usually..."

After understanding each other's situation, both fell silent.

Their lips moved slightly, then countless words finally condensed into a single sentence—

"Bufan's (Lin Li's) mom, it's been tough over the years, hasn't it?"

Their conversation grew even more like they'd met a long-lost confidant.

"Bufan's mom." Wu Min suddenly hesitated.

"Hmm?"

"Have you noticed," Wu Min gestured toward the classroom, "other parents' reactions seem off too?"

Bai's mother turned her head to look into the classroom.

She saw most of the parents, especially those in the last row, either frowning with distress, covering their faces with helplessness, or suppressing laughter.

Some parents were even beginning to exchange the letters their kids had written, looking at each other's jokes.

A very hefty parent, noticing their gaze, enthusiastically shared his child's letter:

"Are your letters jokes too? Want to trade? My son's writing is pretty funny."

And the homeroom teacher Xue Jian walked over with a calm face, noticed the scene, sighed, but that was all, he quickly walked away calmly.

When finishing the school's photography task, he deliberately chose to avoid the parents at the back row.

Wu Min, Bai's mother: "..."

This... This class seems a bit off.

Their hearts skipped a beat, guilt suddenly flooded in.

Wu Min: Oh no, can't escape being tied with Lin Li!

Bai's mother: Oh no, can't escape being tied with Bufan!

...

Outside the classroom.

Lin Li, waiting to pick up Wu Min after school, finally saw the classroom door open and the parents gradually walking out.

Wu Min soon came out from the back classroom door too.

Lin Li stepped forward: "Mom, I..."

Wu Min looked straight ahead: "Lin Li, don't rush to call me mom at school in the future. I need to see the situation and decide whether to acknowledge you as my son. I'm worried you might provoke something or make enemies in school, and then it might affect me."

Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)?"
