They all want to control me!

Chapter 5 Egg-molting Period, once a month

Upon hearing the professor read out their student ID numbers, Xiao Nan and Wang Jiahao immediately looked up.

The two of them were Lin Ran's former roommates. Although they were only together for a month, they got along quite well.

Therefore, when you see a friend die in a social situation, you have to rush to the scene immediately to laugh at them.

"Ran hit the jackpot! There were over a hundred people in the classroom, and they called on him of all people." Xiao Nan, with his pale skin and slightly weak appearance, was gritting his teeth. "I watched him for the whole class. This bastard was passing notes with the most beautiful girl in our clinical medicine department. I'm so envious. I added ten girls from our department when school started, and now they've all blocked me. Compared to him, my treatment is so much worse—it turns out being good at modeling really does give you a lot of freedom."

"Don't get too cocky, Virgo. You might be next." Wang Jiahao frantically tapped his phone screen under the table, preparing to push the crystal tower. "Watch me show off, killing someone in the fountain! Holy crap... I overdid it, got killed! You stupid King of Glory, I'm quitting!"

Wang Jiahao's already dark face turned even darker. He was so angry that he quit the game, long-pressed to delete, opened WeChat, looked for a few seconds, saw no new messages, and sighed.

After a while, his anger subsided, and he connected to the campus network to download King of Glory again.

Feeling a gaze from beside him, he looked up and saw Xiao Nan staring at him.

"What's going on?"

"Laughing at you, you truly are Jiahao himself." Xiao Nan raised his middle finger.

Wang Jiahao muttered under his breath, "I just failed to show off this time. I'll definitely pull it off next time!"

"Come on, Jiahao. Even Ran knows you're bad at this and love to show off. You've been slapped in the face but you're still being stubborn."

"Damn it, that bastard Lin Ran is badmouthing me again behind my back!"

"You're wrong about that. Ran-ge always criticizes you to your face."

"...6".

The two brothers exchanged a few words in private, then looked together at the tall figure in the second row.

"It's because Ran-ge sat so close to the front, now neither of us can remind him."

Wang Jiahao secretly pointed his phone camera at Lin Ran, preparing to record Lin Ran's embarrassing moment and hang it on the school wall.

The quality of this "bad friend" is off the charts.

Xiao Nan said, "What if Ran-ge can actually answer that?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Ran-ge passed notes to Tao Zhiyao during class. Can he really pay attention in class? I'll eat if he can answer them!" Wang Jiahao sneered.

Although they were good friends, he had long disliked Lin Ran. Why was it that Lin Ran, who was 1.83 meters tall and handsome, joined a Hanfu club that was full of girls?

Therefore, the two goblins are very happy to see Lin Ran make a fool of himself.

"The skull has 29 bones, including the auditory ossicles and hyoid bone. If we only refer to the bones that form the cranial cavity and face, there are 22 bones. The cranial bones consist of 8 bones, which form the cranial cavity and protect the brain; 1 frontal bone in the forehead; 2 parietal bones on the sides of the top of the head; 1 occipital bone at the back of the head; 2 temporal bones at the temples and around the ears..."

The classroom, which had been filled with laughter, gradually quieted down after Lin Ran's voice appeared.

"Brother Hao, why did you stop recording?"

Wang Jiahao cursed, "Record my ass! This kid showed off so much. Did he even pay attention in class? No way, I'm listening in next class too! I'm going to show off in class too!"

"...She's gone mad, beyond saving."

"Hey virgin, let's study together and keep each other accountable—I'm doing this for your own good! Otherwise, if you fail the final exam, I'll have to help you retake it!"

"Don't drag me into this! I need to flirt with that upperclassman I finally managed to add during class!"

Lin Ran, who was watching Jiang Qiaoqiao help her show off, was unaware of the love-hate relationship between her two former roommates.

Lin Ran had previously only seen the "Talent: Photographic Memory" entry, which was dazzlingly impressive, but he hadn't expected it to be so powerful. Even if someone only heard something once, they could still repeat it completely.

So it turns out that the only way to become stronger is through your own hard work.

System, extract my talent!

[Talent - Photographic Memory (Gold), already extracted!]

[The talent will be automatically loaded after the controller goes offline!]

Now I'm just as awesome!

Lin Ran was in high spirits. After Jiang Qiaoqiao finished answering the question and sat down, he immediately said:

"Jiang Qiaoqiao is awesome, I love you to death!"

"Hmph~" Jiang Qiaoqiao's lips curled up slightly, enjoying the whispered words. "You know that's good. I have many more skills than you think; you've only seen the tip of the iceberg. Little brother, following me won't make your life difficult!"

Lin Ran glanced at the extracted talent and said sincerely, "Indeed."

Poke!

Jiang Qiaoqiao turned her head and saw Tao Zhiyao handing her a small note.

"Lin Ran, you're amazing! You memorized the whole thing in one class. I can't do that; I can only memorize half of it."

"Hey baby, don't cry. It's amazing that you can memorize half of it."

"Hmm, Lin Ran, your tone is so strange, it sounds like a girl talking."

"You're really getting cocky after just a couple of compliments," Lin Ran said helplessly.

"Ahem, I accidentally gave a bad demonstration. I just pulled off a big move and got a little carried away. Watch my next move, I'll help you pick up girls!"

"No, no, no, listen to me. No matter how well you pretend, you're not me."

"Um... okay then."

After that, for every sentence Lin Ran said, Jiang Qiaoqiao would write a sentence on a small piece of paper, thus dispelling Tao Zhiyao's suspicions.

In the second half of the class, the professor talked about the lower limb bones. Jiang Qiaoqiao listened very attentively, and Lin Ran did not disturb her.

After class, the professor called Lin Ran aside and said with a smile:

"You're a bright kid, you remember things really fast. I've added points for you and that girl."

"It's all thanks to the professor's excellent teaching," Lin Ran said, stepping forward to speak.

After all, we can't let Jiang Qiaoqiao act recklessly when facing real industry experts.

Jiang Qiaoqiao complained inwardly, "You only step up when I need help, and then you suddenly appear when I'm being praised. Even a tool isn't as miserable as me. Lin Ran, you bastard."

Lin Ran ignored Jiang Qiaoqiao's complaints. Seeing the professor take out his phone and open WeChat, he instructed Jiang Qiaoqiao to control her body to hold the phone.

"Yes, yes, yes~ I'll do as you say~ I'm just a tool~" Although she was a little unhappy, Jiang Qiaoqiao could distinguish right from wrong and obeyed Lin Ran's orders.

"Let's exchange contact information. I'll see if there are any good research topics I can get you involved in," the professor said with a smile.

"Professor, my phone camera broke a few days ago."

"Then I'll sweep you."

After the professor scanned the QR code, Lin Ran received a text message adding him as a friend. The two chatted briefly before the professor went to the Human Life Science Museum.

"You're lying. Your camera isn't broken. I even filmed it this morning," Jiang Qiaoqiao said.

"Professors are busy with research, and if I add him as a contact, he might be too busy to accept my application; but if I ask him to add me, I don't have to worry about that."

"I see."

"I added my advisor on WeChat when school started, but she forgot to accept my request." Lin Ran sighed. "My dear Miss Jiang, I'm just an ordinary student. Not many people care about me."

"Oh……"

Actually, I care about you quite a bit, after all, it's me who controls your body...

Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't refute this reason, because her family was indeed very wealthy, and usually a bunch of people would crowd around her asking for her contact information; she had never proactively added anyone else. She asked:

What will we be learning next class?

"For physical education, I chose Tai Chi. The last class is convenient for slacking off and rushing to eat after school."

This break is twenty minutes long.

Jiang Qiaoqiao controlled Lin Ran's body to arrive at the playground, where she found many people running laps.

"The physical fitness test is in mid-October, which is about a month away, so we've been running laps in PE class lately to keep our bodies warm and prevent injuries on the day of the test," Lin Ran explained.

"I need to ask for leave," Jiang Qiaoqiao said.

Why?

"You want someone with paralyzed legs to run? Walking is okay, jogging is difficult, and long-distance running is too strenuous for me."

"Give it a try. Maybe you'll find your legs are better after you get back into your body."

Jiang Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes, keenly sensing the hidden meaning in Lin Ran's words: "Do you know something?"

"I don't know anything, but think about it, if supernatural things have happened, maybe there's a miracle too."

Lin Ran certainly couldn't tell her directly that her leg had recovered somewhat, so she pretended to be clueless.

"Should we run or not?"

"..."

"Consider it as early rehabilitation training so that you can stand up again in the future."

"..."

This time, Jiang Qiaoqiao's silence was longer than ever before.

Lin Ran sensed something was wrong and took the initiative to smooth things over:

"You're right, it's really tough on you to run. Take a day off, I have no objection."

"Lin Ran..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Falling hurts, my body hurts... but my heart hurts even more. Every time I fall, it's a reminder that I'm a useless person."

Jiang Qiaoqiao's demeanor was no longer as arrogant and confident as before. Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she wasn't talking to Lin Ran, but to someone else.

"..."

Lin Ran was taken aback, realizing that Jiang Qiaoqiao had indeed been walking very slowly today, taking each step with great care.

She had previously stated that if she frequently stayed in a nursing home, she would definitely undergo rehabilitation training.

Training inevitably involves falling down.

After spending half a day together, Lin Ran could sense that although Jiang Qiaoqiao was occasionally a bit crazy, she had a strong-willed side to her personality.

She might, during breaks from rehabilitation training, lean against the wall and stumble as she tries to stand up.

But her useless legs caused her to fall to the ground time and time again, causing her physical pain as well as emotional pain.

No matter how strong your self-confidence is, it will gradually wear down after repeated setbacks.

The joke just now clearly touched on Jiang Qiaoqiao's sore spot. Lin Ran knew that her leg had recovered to some extent, but she herself was not aware of it, so it's normal for her to have thoughts of backing down.

Hmm, I feel a little guilty towards this little witch. It must be fake.

"Jiang Qiaoqiao, turn 45 degrees to the right. The PE teacher is coming. Ask her for leave."

"Um……"

Jiang Qiaoqiao was still somewhat depressed. Following Lin Ran's instructions, she turned around and saw a woman with a high ponytail, wearing sportswear and exuding a capable air.

Teacher Li was puzzled. Why was she suddenly looking at me like that?

She knew this student; his name was Lin Ran. He was the most mischievous student in PE class, had some athletic talent, and passed all sports above the passing grade. He was a good kid.

"Sister Li, I'd like to ask for a leave of absence," Lin Ran interrupted.

"reason?"

Teacher Li frowned slightly.

She personally feels that the education system in China is distorted, with students only focused on studying and having no physical exercise at all.

Health is the foundation of everything. How can you study well without good health?

She especially thought slogans like "Life can be reincarnated, but the college entrance exam only happens once" were the stupidest.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, she will not give students leave unless they are really sick.

"My stomach hurts. It's my monthly molting period. I need to rest for seven days and eat three hard-boiled eggs every day to supplement my protein intake."

"???"

Teacher Li had heard countless reasons for taking leave, but this was the first time she had ever heard one, leaving her speechless with shock.

"Pfft... Lin, Lin Ran, what are you saying? That's hilarious, hahaha!"

The heavy atmosphere vanished instantly, and Lin Ran's mind was filled with Jiang Qiaoqiao's laughter. He smiled too.

"What are you laughing at? You were the one who first brought up the idea of ​​the molting period. I was just borrowing it. You're the one who's really funny."
