The Most Random System-Chapter 712 - 365: Only Higher Authority Can Defeat Authority_4

Finally found a 'real' reason to substitute "System Task" for attending the dating and social gathering, so tomorrow will be easy-going and more natural.

No need for lies or concealment, it's good for her and good for me, hooray.

"Bro, shall we go?" Lin Li looked at Zeng Ziang with a more grateful expression.

"Yes, let's go." Zeng Ziang nodded, and they returned the wristbands at the front desk and headed to the parking lot.

"Shall we head straight back to the community?" Zeng Ziang asked.

"Bro, you go back yourself. I'm going for a driving test later, so I'll just catch a cab to the test site." Lin Li naturally waved it off and said.

"You have arrangements for that? Why take a cab? Ride with me, I'll take you there," Zeng Ziang snapped his fingers decisively and said without waiting for Lin Li to refuse:

"Lin Li, we're both young, let's skip adult-like formalities. I'm not really busy and have nothing to do, taking you there is just a small effort on my part. If you refuse, it'll make me feel upset."

"Alright, thanks, bro." Lin Li didn't put on airs, smiled, and nodded.

"Hop in, hop in."

They took their seats in the driver and passenger seats and drove out of the parking lot.

"Lin Li, which section are you taking today?"

"Section two."

"Oh, oh, section two, I think it's relatively simple. Although I didn't pass it in one go back then, I retook it onsite." Having obtained the location of the test site and opened up the navigation, Zeng Ziang chatted casually while driving.

"I should be able to pass today too." Lin Li said modestly.

"Let me tell you a few points where you might make mistakes..." Zeng Ziang was ready to share his experience but suddenly paused and looked at Lin Li with some curiosity: "Huh? Lin Li, I remember you told me during Mid-Autumn Festival that you were just in the first year of high school?"

"Yes."

"You're already an adult?"

"I am."

"Huh? How are you an adult in the first year of high school?" Zeng Ziang asked the question that just popped into his mind.

"I had an accident when I was little and had to take a break from school." Lin Li provided the answer to a question mentioned in the third chapter but frequently overlooked.

"Oh, oh," Zeng Ziang's voice immediately softened with a hint of apology, "You're okay now, right?"

"Do I look like there's something wrong," Lin Li chuckled, "No aftereffects at all."

"That's good, that's good." Zeng Ziang smiled, nodding, "Surviving misfortune indeed means good fortune afterward, a blessing in disguise. Your parents must have been terrified when they found out, right?"

"My mom was."

Zeng Ziang spoke quicker than he thought: "What about your dad?"

"My dad wasn't so lucky."

"...."

Zeng Ziang: "☉_☉"

"Lin Li, Uncle... he's not around anymore?" After grasping the meaning behind the words, Zeng Ziang swallowed hard and asked tentatively and softly.

"Yeah." Lin Li nodded.

Zeng Ziang: "...."

"...."

Zeng Ziang's smile gradually faded.

Prior to visiting the swimming pool, the conversation between him and Lin Li replayed in Zeng Ziang's mind—

"Oh, oh, your rice cooker must be big, or maybe your dad doesn't eat much. My dad's a manual laborer, eats a lot."

Zeng Ziang: "...."

Zeng Ziang finally realized which window God closed for Lin Li— shut his dad in it.

Damn! Wait! How did such a hellish thought pop into my head!

Stunned for a moment, realizing it, Zeng Ziang pressed the gas pedal a little harder, his expression grim and remorseful: "Damn it... I deserve to die!"

And as the vehicle accelerated, Lin Li feeling the obvious thrust: "(;☉_☉)?"

"Bro, no!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Wait! Wait!"

"Bro! Whether to die or not, let's not talk about it yet! Not now!"

"Slow down! Slow down! Bro! I don't deserve to die!! Bro, I've been desensitized! You don't deserve to die either!!"

"Don't die! You don't die! I also won't die! We both won't die!!"
