The Most Random System

Lin Li snapped his head around.

Who was the uncivilized person who just yelled "grass"?

Gave himself a scare.

Lin Li felt that in a place with many children, it's best to mind one's behavior on the surface. Really lacking in manners.

Lin Li came to the side of Chen Yu Ying and the three others.

"Great, Lin Li, you're finally here." Upon seeing Lin Li, Ding Sihan was somewhat excited and took a step forward.

But Lin Li immediately took a step back.

Ding Sihan: "..."

The half-step retreat, are you serious? Such a small move has a surprisingly big impact.

"What do you mean?" Ding Sihan inquired.

"Your mood affects my mood. If you think something good is happening, then I believe nothing good is happening." Lin Li said honestly and sincerely.

"You're driving me crazy, I'm not talking to you anymore." Ding Sihan stomped her foot forcefully.

Chen Yu Ying chuckled and also took a step towards Lin Li.

Lin Li stepped forward: "Need any help, class monitor?"

Ding Sihan: "?"

You're not even willing to stay in one spot.

"Could you help us three take a picture with the flower float? Didn't bring a selfie stick, and it's hard to capture it fully holding it by hand, not very satisfying." Chen Yu Ying handed her phone to Lin Li.

"Of course, no problem." Lin Li nodded and took Chen Yu Ying's phone.

The phone was on the camera interface, and a selfie of Chen Yu Ying was visible in the bottom left corner.

Really tempted to click into it and have a look.

If it were Bai Bufan's phone, Lin Li would have clicked in and analyzed frame by frame long ago, but looking at a girl's photo album without permission is an extreme offense, so Lin Li only stayed at the thought stage.

"Wait before taking the picture," Ding Sihan said with a serious face.

"What's wrong?" Lin Li asked.

"I stomped my foot when you drove me crazy, now my foot is numb." Ding Sihan's face looked pitiful.

"Serves you right." Lin Li laughed out loud.

...

"Okay, stand a little to the left, yes, that position. If there's any movement, feel free to pose." During the gap in the flower float march, Lin Li clicked the shutter furiously.

"Alright, you guys take a look at the results first."

Three heads came together, and Lin Li displayed the phone for them to see.

Not bad, the liveliness of the mascots and the delicacy of the flower float were well captured.

The three looked up at Lin Li.

"How about the lighting and composition? I think it's superb!" Lin Li chuckled as he asked.

"Why do I only have one head?" Chen Yu Ying pursed her lips, her cheeks slightly puffed, as if glaring at Lin Li.

Kind of cute.

"Class monitor, if you had more than one head, this phone would be jinxed. Let me educate you; normal people only have one head. You're not Tomie, right? Hey? Just saying, looks are fine, charm is fine. Damn, could you really be..."

Lin Li wasn't scared by the cute ghost but seriously analyzed.

Chen Yu Ying: "..."

"I! Mean! Why does the picture only have my head left in the corner!" Watching Lin Li start analyzing the possibility of her being Tomie, Chen Yu Ying spoke angrily, word by word.

"Ying Bao, you're doing fine. Did you see me? There's only a quarter of my face visible." Ding Sihan sneered, gritting her teeth.

"Qu Wanqiu, stop pulling my clothes. My clothes cost eighteen hundred, eighteen hundred! They're going to stretch!" Lin Li warned the culprit as he was pulled to the side while thinking.

Qu Wanqiu immediately let go.

"When I kicked his butt in the morning, he said his pants cost eight thousand and one. Wanqiu, don't believe him, keep pulling!" Ding Sihan revealed the secret with one sentence.

Qu Wanqiu obediently complied, not only pulling more forcefully, she picked up Chen Yu Ying's phone and almost shoved it up to Lin Li's face: "Lin Li, answer me this! Where am I in this photo?! Where am I?!"

"How could I have missed you? See that strand of hair next to a quarter of Ding Sihan? That's you." Lin Li held the phone, enlarged the image tenfold, and spoke seriously.

Ding Sihan, Qu Wanqiu: "..."

There is murderous intent.

Danger.

"Alright, won't tease you anymore; this one's on purpose. Flip to the next ones, they're all shot normally." Lin Li explained with a grin only visible to the naked eye from their discontent, "I'm not a Nikon guy."

The Canon guys have their WeChat blowing up with girls adding them, while a Nikon guy climbs out of the reeds saying the bird was awesome earlier.

Nikon for human shots, specializing in razor-sharp backgrounds, with the subject melting like cream — completely wrong focus.

Chen Yu Ying's puffed-up cheeks finally eased as she started flipping through the later pictures.

In the later pictures, the main subjects had become the three of them, capturing full upper bodies and even full-body shots.

Lin Li stood blocking the sunlight to allow Chen Yu Ying a clearer view while asking, "How's this?"

This is truly my actual skill.

"Eh, not so great…" Ding Sihan commented.

Lin Li: "?"

"Feels like the pictures are distorted." Qu Wanqiu added.

Lin Li: "Ah…"

Lin Li glanced at Chen Yu Ying, the last straw, cautiously asking, "Class monitor, I immediately realized these two petty-minded folks are deliberately slandering my magnificent creations. You won't tell me they're not that bad, will you?"

The last one was a joke, but the previous ones I took seriously! Am I really not good at photographing? This is too discouraging!

"...hmm, not bad." Chen Yu Ying blinked her bright eyes several times before replying.

Her tone sounded as if she were reassuring Lin Li that three seconds was impressive enough, and next time maybe five seconds without medication could be achieved.

"My heart now feels like a peeled potato." Lin Li's expression was dejected.

"What's this analogy?" Chen Yu Ying didn't catch it for a moment.

"From POTATO to OTATO." After explaining, Lin Li took Chen Yu Ying's phone back, gesturing sadly for them to stand back again: "Alright, let's try again. You guys guide me a bit..."

All his previous swagger was gone.

Already obedient.

Turns out neither intentionally nor unintentionally works...

Chen Yu Ying and the trio burst out laughing together.

...

Under the guidance of the three and Lin Li's rapid-fire technique of winning with quantity, finally, photos that satisfied all three were captured.

Lin Li's photography skills attained remarkable finesse — personally praised by Chen Yu Ying.

After the flower float parade ended, the trio went towards the ghost house named Tianshan Hospital in Pingjiang Amusement Park.

The three walked hand in hand ahead, while Lin Li followed behind with hands on the back of his head.

Girls just love walking hand in hand, when they form a four-person line at school, it's instantly a mega roadblock.

This behavior is truly annoying, unless they add me in.

Sadly, they don't seem willing.

"Class monitor, are you afraid of ghosts?" Lin Li sped up to walk alongside the three, asking.

"I'm not that afraid of creepy scenes, but I'm scared of jump scares." Chen Yu Ying replied upon hearing, "When watching horror movies, I need the subtitles to warn me of upcoming big scares before I dare to watch."

This method doesn't work well now because some videos have 'upcoming big scare' written all over, terrified for some time, only to hear 'Hi everyone, I'm a trainee who's practiced for two and a half years, big scare.'

Lin Li looked at the project info on his phone, then nodded: "There are real NPCs, seems there might be jump scares, that's great. Oh wait, that's terrible."

"I heard that!" Chen Yu Ying glared at Lin Li again, "Not good at all!"

"Yes yes, not good. I'm definitely not hoping you'll be scared and then cling to me or grab my hand," Lin Li laughed, "Don't worry, with me around, if we encounter danger, I'll definitely push you forward while extending my hand for you to grab."

Lin Li began to narrate his criminal plan.

"Who puts people forward to protect them!" Chen Yu Ying raised her fist and punched Lin Li's arm lightly.

Not even a bit of force.

Lin Li felt he could withstand another hundred punches! One! Hundred! Punches!

"Heh, Ying Bao, you just follow me carefree. Some shady, despicable ideas of little people, I absolutely won't let them materialize." Ding Sihan sneered and spoke.

"Exactly, there's me too!" Qu Wanqiu nodded, "We've already decided to strip this little person of his ZZ rights for life!"

These two daughters really brought a burst of laughter.
