The Most Random System

Lin Li pulled away Bai Bufan's hand and said with a smile:

"Alright, alright, the results truly haven't come out yet. Perhaps they'll send the detailed report to me today. Once I have it, I'll send it to your phone or tell you in detail in the classroom."

Normally, it's perfectly fine to wait three to five days or even a week for the physical examination results.

But since Lin Li opted for the prestigious and pricey VIP package, it also entitled Bai Bufan, who had ordered the standard package, to enjoy the express lane, so the results would be faster.

Upon hearing this, Bai Bufan sat back down: "Okay."

After finishing breakfast and taking out the trash.

When Bai Bufan came back, he discreetly wiped a little oil on Lin Li's pants and then cleared his throat and solemnly said:

"Lin Li, I prepared a birthday gift for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Li turned his head to see Bai Bufan reaching for the drawer.

So Lin Li got up, moved the chair over his head, looked directly at Bai Bufan, and the excitement and joy for the gift were written all over him.

Bai Bufan: "?"

Come on, man.

"Lin Li, you... What are you doing...?"

The sunlight could penetrate the window at the back row, but not through the chair over Lin Li's head, casting a shadow on Bai Bufan's face, making him a little scared.

"Oh, nothing, just using the chair to exercise a bit. You do your thing, don't mind me, just take out the gift."

Aiming at Bai Bufan's head, Lin Li wiggled his arms a few times and started doing squats, smiling as he spoke.

Bai Bufan: "..."

You damn right better be exercising.

Bai Bufan's hand suddenly seemed trapped by something in the drawer, unable to take it out.

"Lin Li, sit down first, sit down first." Bai Bufan thought for a moment, then still smiled ingratiatingly.

But Lin Li just maintained the smile on his face: "No hurry, take the gift out. By the way, Bufan, don't take me for a goody two-shoes."

"Haha."

"Bro, I'm not planning to mess with you. It's a meaningful and useful gift for you, bro, sit down, quick." Bai Bufan gave an awkward laugh, gradually breaking into a sweat.

Only then did Lin Li sit down, crossing his arms leaning against the wall beside the window, gazing at Bai Bufan, waiting to see what trick he was planning.

Finally, the gift was taken out. It wasn't big, just a palm-sized box. The gift should be inside, surprisingly capable of fitting.

Bai Bufan wouldn't be proposing to me at this special moment, would he? Gosh, I've got four more years to marry, kind of anxious here.

Lin Li reached out to receive it, cautiously opened it like watching out for traps, only to find a slip of paper inside.

"Bai Bufan's Gift," were the words written on the slip.

Wow.

Lin Li stood up, lifted the chair.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! You saw the gift clearly, why are you still going to smash me!! Isn't it meaningful and useful for you?" Bai Bufan covered his head with his hands, weak and pitiful and helpless.

"I'd let you wipe your butt with this paper, and you say it's useful?" Lin Li sneered.

"Lin Li, you must have misunderstood my intent!" Bai Bufan realized something quickly and explained:

"The meaning of the words isn't merely saying that this paper is the gift I'm giving you; it also means that it can act as 'Bai Bufan's Gift,' for you to give to me on my birthday."

"In this way, on my birthday, you won't have to fret over what gift to give me. Just return this slip as a gift. Isn't that meaningful and useful?"

Now, so many people fuss over what birthday gifts or cash they should give, it's annoyingly troublesome. Yet, my kind of gift can solve that in one go!

Bai Bufan felt like a genius.

"Where is it meaningful? Where is it useful?" However, upon hearing this, Lin Li only looked puzzled and asked in return.

"Didn't I just explain it to you?" Bai Bufan looked up in confusion.

"But you..." Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan like he was looking at an idiot, "...why do you assume I'd give you a gift on your birthday?"

Bai Bufan: "(;☉_☉)?"

Hey?

"So you still owe me a gift. How about this, let me hit you once, and we'll call it a birthday gift. Thanks." Lin Li said and prepared to act.

"No way! Lin Li! Get a clue! Haven't you heard of reciprocity, the basic rule of being human? Back-and-forth is the essence of maintaining friendship! What do you mean you didn't plan on giving anything!"

Bai Bufan shouted with a laugh, exasperated.

"No, no, no, no, no..." Lin Li put down the chair, wagged his index finger in front of him, wearing a confident smile at the corner of his mouth:

"Bufan, what reciprocity, and what back-and-forth?

Did you forget what you were called? When you shout, it's like 'woof woof woof woof!' So you ought to keep giving.

Therefore, giving gifts is what you should do, and receiving them is what I should do.

Honestly, on your birthday, you should be the one giving me a gift."

Lin Li spoke with conviction.

Bai Bufan: "?"

Your mom.

Such a filthy mouth.

"Alright, Lin Li, I'm a dog, I keep 'woof woof woof,' fine, then what the hell is this creature that keeps 'receiving receiving receiving'?" Bai Bufan sneered, corner of his mouth twitching.

Lin Li: "A cheapskate."

"Cheap... (;☉_☉)?"

Bai Bufan only repeated one word and seemed to lose his language faculties, dumbfoundedly staring at Lin Li.

Once those three words came out, Bai Bufan felt like the folds of his cerebral cortex were instantly smoothed out, expanded, bringing a moment of relaxation, as if walking in a Norwegian forest, everything suddenly became clear.

Bai Bufan propped one hand on the table, rubbing his dog's head, and his body couldn't stop trembling with laughter.
