Chapter 136: Chapter 101: College Entrance Exam Day, A Winning Start!

Chen Xiangyu placed her order on the spot, and under the table, her thigh gently brushed against Shen Qiushan’s knee.

At this moment, the takeout stir-fry for the two was ready.

The chef called out from the window.

Feeling a bit uneasy, Shen Qiushan quickly stood up: “Teacher Chen, take your time eating.”

After saying this, he promptly went to the window to pick up the food.

Lin Xiamo also stood up, and before leaving, she said to Chen Xiangyu, “Teacher Chen, send me the link to that cheongsam shop.”

“Uh…”

After hearing Lin Xiamo’s words, Chen Xiangyu almost spat out the rice she had just put in her mouth.

However, she still pretended to be calm and nodded: “Okay!”

“Thanks!”

Lin Xiamo walked away in her stiletto heels.

Chen Xiangyu silently thought to herself: I could give you the link to the cheongsam store, but would you dare to buy it?

And if you did buy it, would you dare to wear it?

Meanwhile.

Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo left the cafeteria together after picking up their meal.

However, on the way back, the dynamics between them were noticeably different from when they came.

This was largely due to Lin Xiamo’s change in attitude; when they came, she chatted with Shen Qiushan harmoniously, not exactly laughing and joking, but very amicably.

On the way back, Lin Xiamo kept a stern face and seemed to consciously maintain a certain distance from Shen Qiushan.

As they were about to enter the office building, Lin Xiamo, who had been silent the whole way, suddenly asked, “Do you have a good relationship with Teacher Chen?”

“Yes, pretty good!”

Shen Qiushan did not deny it and explained in passing: “We were high school classmates, I’ve mentioned it to you before, right?”

“Did you?”

Lin Xiamo’s slender eyebrows lightly arched; she recalled briefly, and it seemed to have been mentioned.

However, she didn’t pay much attention to the nature of their relationship at the time.

“Old classmates.”

“Naturally, we look out for each other, otherwise, she wouldn’t have given Yanran and Xiaoxiao special attention.”

Shen Qiushan certainly wouldn’t openly disclose his relationship with Chen Xiangyu.

Though he is single, being in a relationship is normal.

The Lin Family can’t interfere, but not saying anything is always better.

Lin Xiamo nodded and didn’t intend to continue asking questions.

After a lively lunch.

Shen Qiushan took the time while taking a smoke in the corridor to scroll through some short videos.

The official account of Sanjiang High School had already posted his mock exam results online.

The video was quite popular, with over 200,000 likes and more than 40,000 comments so far.

After the live mock exam event, public opinion had completely turned around.

Shen Qiushan glanced at the comment section, and most comments were either praising him or being humorous.

There were also comments from users with avatars that clearly looked like girls expressing their admiration and affection!

Among the numerous comments, Shen Qiushan even noticed a familiar username [Reporter Wang Zhixin].

His comment was simple, just three words: See you at Gaokao!

And there were already over a thousand replies below his comment.

The two highest-liked comments were quite interesting.

Bojin Kincairn: Brother, have you worked at Bai Ma Club before!

Chrysanthemum Shatters the Stone: “You squat on the ground, facing it.”

Shen Qiushan then checked Wang Zhixin’s profile; as expected, the guy was still questioning him.

He first suspected that the live mock exam also had the possibility of cheating, suggesting that Shen Qiushan might have had “invisible headphones” in his ears, and after selecting the test papers with Yang Xijin, the school would organize teachers to solve them and transmit the answers to Shen Qiushan through headphones.

As for today’s announcement of Shen Qiushan’s mock exam results, he directly claimed that the school had provided the questions in advance to help Shen Qiushan maintain his reputation.

In short, as the netizens said, Wang Zhixin was known for being stubborn!

But perhaps because there were too many people criticizing him, Wang Zhixin enabled the feature to select comments, leaving only a dozen or so comments that agreed with his perspective.

Shen Qiushan also looked at Yang Xijin’s profile; coincidentally, an hour ago, he had just released a video evaluating Shen Qiushan’s mock exam results.

In this five-minute-plus video, Yang Xijin continued his previous sardonic style, starting with a heavy dose of “colonial influence”: “They’ve been calling for education reform for so many years, and lately, there really seem to be results. A 38-year-old not working, not supporting a family, not earning money, going to high school and studying with the kids…”

To be fair, Yang Xijin’s perspective is quite broad. He wouldn’t just attack Shen Qiushan like Wang Zhixin; he evaluates from a comprehensive angle, sarcastically “praising” the entire education system.

In fact, this has always been Yang Xijin’s style.

He’s always like this, not only with Shen Qiushan’s matter but also when commenting on other current events, he elevates the discussion to the level of policy.

Because he and Wang Zhixin were not doing the same type of work.

Wang Zhixin was simply in it for attention and traffic, but Yang Xijin is different; as a “colonialist,” he metaphorically attacks the system from a single person or piece of news.

There are many public figures and influencers like him who, in the past, when social media wasn’t developed, steered public opinion and stirred things up.

But now, with the information gap between domestic and foreign countries almost closed, it’s hard to fool the public, so they’ve changed their methods, using sarcasm masked as praise.

Yang Xijin is a master at this; after a few minutes of earnest words, he sincerely said to the camera: “Having a 38-year-old candidate in the Gaokao showcase is indicative of the inclusiveness of education, which is a good thing.”

“But there’s fear that this might be a reality show orchestrated by the local education bureau to embellish their achievements. When it comes to the real battleground, no one will play along with your show.”

“Old Yang sincerely hopes that this won’t be a farce!”

Although standing from different angles, both Yang Xijin and Wang Zhixin ultimately had the same view.

Neither of them believed that Shen Qiushan would be able to perform as well in the actual Gaokao as he did in the mock exam!

Time flies.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

June 7th.

Cloudy skies.

A light rain fell in the middle of the night.

The ground was wet, which was just enough to cool down the muggy weather.

Today is the first day of the Gaokao.

The Shen Family was bustling early in the morning.

Shen Dehua prepared a nutritious breakfast for his brother and nieces and nephews early.

The ingredients were the freshest, purchased by Shen Dehua from the morning market, and he used the simplest cooking methods and ingredient combinations to avoid any mishaps with the meal that might delay the exam.

After breakfast.

The whole family went downstairs together.

Old Shen and Zheng Yi both arranged for two days off to join Shen Dehua in cheering for Shen Qiushan and the two children.

Shen Dehua wore a beautiful purple cheongsam, symbolizing triumph and success!

The group sending them off consisted of more than just the Shen Family.

From the Lin Family’s side, besides Director Lin, the mother and two daughters all joined in.

Chen Qingzhu wore a vintage-style purple velvet cheongsam embroidered with blooming peonies, exuding the aura of an opulent lady.

Lin Xiamo and Lin Jiayu, the two sisters, wore matching purple silk satin cheongsams, which had a new design and high slits.

When the people from the Shen Family came downstairs, the two sisters were standing next to Lin Xiamo’s white Audi. Upon seeing the two in their cheongsams, Shen Qiushan’s gaze lingered for two seconds.

The figures and appearances of the two sisters were simply unbeatable!

Especially Lin Xiamo, whose figure was absolutely stunning. The naturally form-fitting cheongsam emphasized her graceful figure perfectly.

The satin fabric clung closely to her S-shaped curves—from the full and perky bust to the slender waist, and down to the tantalizingly revealing slit at the skirt’s hem, making it hard for anyone to look away.

“Auntie, you look gorgeous today!”

“Even as a girl, I’m mesmerized by you!”

Shen Yanran ran up gleefully, eyes sparkling with admiration.

“Yanran, are you saying your little aunt isn’t beautiful?”

Seeing Shen Yanran solely praising her sister, Lin Jiayu felt left out. She pouted a bit, and deliberately sucked in her tummy and puffed out her chest to accentuate her figure more.

“Haha, Aunt Jiayu, of course, you’re beautiful too!”

Shen Yanran gave her pouting aunt a hug, but since their relationship was more like best friends, while hugging, Shen Yanran whispered in Lin Jiayu’s ear: “It’s just that your chest is a bit small!”
