This story is narratively a sequel to Short Story 2. It's the fourth installment in the Short Story series and only uses words from Kevin's Short Story 3, counting multiplicity.

Zhou was looking around, surprised. His nap is a year large! But, Zhou's tired and attempted to sleep again. Dead, burned, fancy instant noodles (IN) covering the room! From when? Zhou screamed and scrambled to 7-11.

Zhou quickly reached 7-11, in flashcard review gear. He spent time painstakingly checking important round 7-11 boxes of IN, then sat down, and meticulously sped over the cards he pulled from his flashcard mountain on the shoebox. Great. They only say IN.

A short time later, the 7-11 boss called "The" arrived! Shoot! Zhou was shocked. Zhou had known "The" to break a promise before, and "The" would frequently, happily give Zhou the grueling work. "The" never remembered to show up to 7-11. Zhou ran to the back, settled down, and decided to idly do math problems for a month.

Finally, Zhou belatedly turned towards "The", threw a food blizzard, and "The" crumpled with lots of noise. Zhou walked away.

But then, "The" slowly signaled, muffled, "Wu- hu, exciting! Zhou, some crazy dumped a mountain of IN so I can't see! I enjoyed you taking down that crazy safely! But am I terminal? I'm too young!"

Zhou was freaking out: "The" is Lin! Zhou laughed anxiously, "Luckily, you're probably gotta recover in little time." Zhou reluctantly started eating the IN thinly coating the head of Lin.

"Yes, rescue! I can see now!" Lin called gladly, "You're literally always a favorite! I'll make a road to life success for you!"

Zhou slowly whispered with his flashcard voice, "But Lin, I was the falling IN, sorry for that."

Lin chuckled, "No, sorry that I didn't come to 7-11 for a large time. Want to play a flashcard videogame at Hu's house this night?"

And from that day onwards Zhou was a little bit better at achieving the items on his flashcards.
