Chapter 80: Chapter 73: Dad’s in Love!

Turns out he’s a doctor!

Shen Qiushan was replying to his sponsor as he walked toward the bike shed.

This profession came as a bit of a surprise to him.

Still, most doctors make pretty good money, especially those lead surgeons who get on the operating table.

The grey income is absolutely insane!

Three thousand bucks.

Probably just a red envelope!

Thinking about that,

Shen Qiushan felt a lot more at ease.

He asked for the other person’s surname, so he could note it in WeChat.

Taro Milk Tea Meow: My surname is Jia, you can call me Dr. Jia.

Lying on her dorm bed, Lin Jiayu giggled—she thought her reply was just too funny.

Dr. Jia!

I already told you, I’m a “fake” doctor right now!

Shen Qiushan didn’t overthink it, just added the other person’s nickname as [Dr. Jia].

But he felt that nickname wasn’t clear enough.

So he changed it to [Dr. Jia 3000]!

Now it’s obvious at a glance.

Every sponsor he adds in the future can be noted this way.

Shen’s Tutoring: Dr. Jia, I’m off to tutoring, we’ll chat later.

Dr. Jia 3000: You’re still doing tutoring this late? So hardworking, keep it up, young man!!

Seeing the word “young man,” Shen Qiushan grinned ear to ear.

No problem!

Men remain boys till death!

Thirty-eight-year-old old boy, so what!

Forty minutes later.

After tutoring, Shen Qiushan lay in bed, didn’t want to move at all.

Thirty-eight-year-old old boy—with all that experience and solid skills—

But physical strength? Can’t really compare to an actual boy.

[Xiaohuang, Xiaohuang]

Shen Qiushan silently called up the system page.

Right now, his Scholar Index was already over 70,000 points.

And that’s just with one subject from the mock exam settled.

If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow his Scholar Index will explode again.

Shen Qiushan stared at his attribute panel, lost in thought.

Initial Tier Attributes:

Appearance: 85

Figure: 85

Strength: 75

Speed: 78

Endurance: 70

Health: 82

High Tier Attributes:

Lifespan: 84

Martial Arts: 9

Medicine: 1

Metaphysics: 0

Tomorrow, the Scholar Index will definitely break 100,000 points—for Advanced Attributes, he’s not considering them yet, can’t afford it.

But Basic Attributes are doable.

Shen Qiushan hesitated—where should he put the points?

Should he max out Appearance first?

Because, honestly, this is a looks-driven era!

You really can live off your face.

Or, max out Health first!

The body is the true capital of revolution!

With a good body, you can enjoy life!

Hmm…

Health is probably more important.

Max out Health first, then Appearance.

Shen Qiushan laid out a basic plan.

“Qiushan, have some water!”

Just then, Chen Xiangyu handed him a thermos.

Shen Qiushan took it instinctively, only to find it filled with goji berries.

Sigh, middle age hits you hard!

Shen Qiushan gently blew the steam coming out of the cup, took a small sip.

“Qiushan, are you close with Vice Principal Lin?”

Chen Xiangyu asked what had been on her mind.

“She’s Yanran and Xiaoxiao’s second aunt.”

“Originally, to avoid suspicion, I wanted to keep some distance at school.”

“But starting tomorrow, I’ll have to bring Yanran and Xiaoxiao to her office for tutoring every day at noon, so the family ties probably won’t stay secret much longer.”

Shen Qiushan answered honestly.

“Oh, that’s how it is!”

Chen Xiangyu looked relieved, letting out a quiet breath.

Clearly, the two didn’t have any romantic entanglements—they were just relatives.

“I saw you eating together at lunch today, and a bunch of teachers were gossiping about what your relationship is!”

“Some even guessed you two were dating…”

“Dating??”

“That’s wild!”

Shen Qiushan laughed and shook his head, hugging his thermos and gulping goji water.

“By the way, you got 494 points on this mock exam.”

“The three major subjects alone scored you 400 points!”

“If your politics, history, geography scores weren’t so low, you’d be at the very top among history-track students!”

Chen Xiangyu changed the topic to exam grades.

That score was exactly what Shen Qiushan expected—his next study focus would be those three humanities subjects.

If everything goes as planned, next mock exam he’ll definitely raise those scores.

He’s super confident on that.

After all, he’s got a cheat system!

“What about Shen Yixiao?”

Shen Qiushan was more concerned about his own brat’s grades.

From the looks of things, getting into a 985 university shouldn’t be an issue.

So, next, while studying himself, Shen Qiushan would try to help boost both kids’ scores too.

“We don’t know yet—the papers for some subjects aren’t graded, scores haven’t been totaled.”

“Your score came out early because your main subjects were high, so they pulled your politics, history, geography papers to sum it up.”

After explaining, Chen Xiangyu sat beside Shen Qiushan: “Qiushan, how about you just stay here tonight?”

“It’s late, don’t bother going.”

Shen Qiushan thought about it—not like there was anything urgent at home—so he nodded: “Works for me, I’ll be heading out first tomorrow anyway.”

Seeing him agree, Chen Xiangyu instantly flashed a charming smile: “I’ll go change into some pajamas!”

“Flight attendant or doctor?”

“Uh…”

Shen Qiushan sort of regretted saying yes.

But then he remembered—with over 70,000 points in Scholar Index, he suddenly felt bold again.

“Doctor!”

Shen Qiushan replied to his old flame, then covertly spent 1,000 Scholar Index points to redeem a “Replenishing Essence and Qi Pill.”

The next two hours—

A battle for victory,

And for survival!

The next morning.

When Shen Qiushan left, his old flame was still fast asleep.

He couldn’t help but marvel again at his powerful system.

Replenishing Essence and Qi Pill—amazing effects, zero side effects!

Waking up, he was refreshed!

Felt like he had endless energy.

Shen Qiushan was starting to figure out the pill’s mechanism.

It probably lets you borrow your own energy—you’ll feel dead tired when it wears off, almost pass out instantly.

But also, thanks to its effect, you’ll enter deep sleep mode—while in that, you recover your energy without even noticing.

Of course, that’s just Shen Qiushan’s guess.

But the effect, no question—awesome!

Shen Qiushan arrived at class.

Found his own brat already at his desk, doing practice problems.

Looks like last night’s crushing math score left a real mark.

“Dad, where’d you go last night?”

Seeing his old man, Shen Yixiao asked right away.

“Napped at the takeout station overnight.”

Shen Qiushan casually brushed him off, then sat down.

Shen Yixiao was feeling a bit sentimental about how hard his dad works, when suddenly he caught a faint scent.

Something like perfume—or maybe shampoo…

Anyway, it definitely wasn’t the smell of a delivery station.

If nothing unexpected, it belonged to a woman.

Holy crap!

Dad’s not seriously dating, is he??

Shen Yixiao’s eyes widened, then he snuck another sniff of his dad.

That was definitely the kind of scent women have!

Dad’s totally in love!

Having reached his conclusion, Shen Yixiao immediately used his smartwatch to message Shen Yanran: Dad fell in love, we’re getting a stepmom!
