The Most Random System

Arriving at the world's highest city, Tianshan Hospital.

All four of them had fast passes for this attraction, so there was hardly any waiting time before it was their turn.

"This attraction requires groups of eight to ten people to enter together. Do you four want to find others yourselves, or join with other tourists?" After scanning their fast passes, the staff member asked.

It would be too slow and unnecessary to gather people themselves. After exchanging glances, Chen Yu Ying told the staff to choose the latter.

"Alright, you can go inside and wait in the waiting area for a bit." The staff nodded.

The four of them walked inside.

"Hey, isn't that Chen Tianming?" Chen Yu Ying pointed forward with her hand.

Lin Li looked over, and it really was Chen Tianming. He was with two girls, and the one with short hair was likely Yao Qiaoqiao.

Chen Tianming seemed to notice Lin Li as well, but instead of greeting him right away, he looked at his phone.

Lin Li understood and took out his own phone.

"Chen Tianming: From now on, let's call each other what we like; I'll call you dad, and you call me brother. Please, dad."

Lin Li: "..."

"What a coincidence, Tianming." Lin Li chuckled to himself and waved.

"Hey, Lin Li?" Chen Tianming looked 'surprised' at Lin Li, then came over to fist bump him.

"Thanks, dad." Chen Tianming whispered.

Even standing nearby, Chen Yu Ying heard it. She blinked and tilted her head in confusion.

Such a complicated relationship.

"No need to call me dad. I don't know what you're up to, but I'll go along with it as long as you treat Bufan and Bao Wei to breakfast next week." Lin Li replied succinctly.

"Deal." Even though he didn't know why he had to buy them breakfast, Chen Tianming agreed.

Yao Qiaoqiao's attention was drawn by their voices and actions.

Upon seeing Lin Li, she came over, crossing her arms and tilting her head slightly, asking, "Lin Li, why haven't you accepted my WeChat request?"

She wore makeup today too, but still didn't look as good as Chen Yu Ying.

"Oh, sorry about that. Tianming reminded me, but I didn't notice at first, and then I just forgot. My bad." Lin Li wasn't lying; he really did forget.

"No worries, I don't blame you. I'll send the request again, and it should go through this time, right?" Yao Qiaoqiao tapped her phone with her nail, producing a crisp sound, and asked in a gentle voice.

"Sure, and sorry again." Lin Li took out his phone and accepted "Hazelle's" friend request.

Even though his vocabulary had reached H, Lin Li still didn't know what this English word meant.

"I'm Yao Qiaoqiao, remember? I've always remembered your name." Yao Qiaoqiao spoke again.

"Of course, Tianming mentions you often, how could I forget?" Lin Li smiled.

He ignored the grateful look from Chen Tianming next to him.

This was something he should do.

"Thanks for remembering my name. You guys are here for the haunted house too? You still need more people, right?"

"Yeah."

"Why don't we go together? There are three of us still waiting too. Oh, this is my classmate, Fan Rou."

"First of all, nice to meet you, classmate," Lin Li gestured to the three standing beside him: "Secondly, ask them. My decision-making rights have been permanently revoked. I'm no longer a complete person with rights."

Yao Qiaoqiao: "?"

Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu playfully punched Lin Li from behind.

Solid punches.

Rubbing his sore waist, Lin Li shrugged, "See, I'm just a punching bag now."

"Let's go together." Chen Yu Ying nodded.

There wasn't really a need to ask; according to the staff's arrangement, they would clearly be going together.

But Chen Yu Ying thought for a moment and figured if Lin Li agreed without asking them, or only asked after accepting, it might indeed make people uncomfortable.

"There's a locker over there, let's put our bags there first," suggested Ding Sihan.

"It's rare for you not to be lazy for once, help me put my bag too, thanks." Lin Li handed his almost empty bag to Ding Sihan.

"Your backpack can stay or go, but you have to come." Ding Sihan didn't grab Lin Li's bag but grabbed his hand, speaking through a smiling grin.

Thus, Lin Li was pulled over.

The four of them reached the locker area.

"What's going on, who's that? Is there drama here? Does Chen Tianming like her? So curious!" Ding Sihan licked her lips, eager to ask.

It seemed her inquisitive nature had exploded.

So cute, makes one want to sit on her.

"Since you saw it, there's no harm in telling you. But it's still in the early stages, so it's best not to spread it…" With that preface, Lin Li shared the general situation with them.

"I see, so does Yao Qiaoqiao like Chen Tianming?" Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu suddenly understood.

"I don't know today's progress, but it doesn't look like it. After all, Yao Qiaoqiao brought her classmate along; if it were a real date, she wouldn't bring a third wheel." Lin Li analyzed.

What Lin Li didn't mention was that, based on his impression of Chen Tianming, he strongly suspected this guy forced himself between the two girls as the third wheel.

Chen Yu Ying frowned slightly and, after hesitating for a moment, softly said, "Though it's not good to talk about others behind their backs, this girl seems a bit, hmm... strange? But I can't quite put my finger on what's weird about her."
