Chapter 69: Standing Up for Shen Qinghan

Shanhai Middle School, Class 1, Grade 1.

Lin Zichen was inattentive in class the whole morning, his mind kept thinking about what happened last night.

That Rat God Cult follower was clearly captured by the security guards during the day, so how come he appeared in a garbage station in the suburbs at night, covered in blood, catching rats to eat?

Is it jailbroken?

And then he was seriously injured during the prison escape?

That should be it...

Thinking about this, Lin Zichen took out his mobile phone and browsed the local news to see if there were any news reports related to the rat man last night.

Unfortunately, after browsing for the whole morning, I didn’t see any news related to it.

Instead, I came across a very eye-catching piece of news about mechanical transformation.

"Mechanic Group announced at a press conference at nine this morning that they have developed a brand-new mechanical transformation technology and are now recruiting 500 volunteers for human experiments. They will receive a monthly stipend and lifetime insurance. However, please note that this experiment carries the risk of disability or even death."

Is there a monthly subsidy?

Enjoy lifelong insurance?

So if a person dies during the experiment, can these two benefits still be retained?

If not, then this is basically a case of getting something for nothing...

Lin Zichen was thinking about all these things in his mind.

…

Soon, the bell rang and all the morning classes were over.

The students rushed out of the classroom one by one and rushed to the cafeteria, fearing that they would have to wait in a long line to get food if they were late.

On the contrary, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were not in a hurry at all and were still sitting in their seats.

Just like when they were in junior high school, the two of them brought their own meals from home and did not have to queue up in the cafeteria like other students.

After about a few minutes.

Shen Qinghan put down the pen in her hand, took her and Lin Zichen's lunch boxes, got up and went to the teacher's office to heat up the food.

Not long after, she came back with a hot lunch box.

Lin Zichen took the lunch box and ate while browsing the news on his mobile phone. He would not stop until he came across news related to the Rat God Cult believer from last night.

Just when he had finished his meal and was about to take his lunch box to wash it, he finally saw a piece of news related to the followers of the Rat God Cult on his mobile phone.

Freshly released, it was just published on the official website by the local official media.

When he clicked on it, he found that the content of the report was exactly what he wanted to know. It was about the Rat God Cult believer who ate rats in a garbage station in the suburbs last night.

"Xiaochen, what are you looking at so fascinated?"

Shen Qinghan, who had just come back from washing the lunch box, saw Lin Zichen still sitting in his seat looking at his mobile phone without even washing the lunch box, and couldn't help feeling curious.

"I'm reading the news about the Rat God Cult." Lin Zichen responded nonchalantly.

Shen Qinghan was not very interested in the Rat God Cult. Seeing that the oil in Lin Zichen's lunch box was almost solidified, she picked up his lunch box and wanted to help him wash it clean.

But when she turned around, she saw the two girls who had mocked her for being a maid in the corridor outside. She immediately stopped timidly and did not dare to help Lin Zichen wash the lunch box.

She was afraid that the two girls would laugh at her and call her Lin Zichen's maid after seeing her.

But after thinking about it and struggling for a moment, she finally took Lin Zichen's lunch box and walked out of the classroom.

Although it was uncomfortable to be ridiculed as Lin Zichen's maid, that was other people's opinion, not Lin Zichen's. It was better to just pretend not to hear it and there was no need to take it too seriously.

She thought so, but when she really passed by the two girls with Lin Zichen's lunch box, she was still afraid to hear the word "maid".

Fortunately, none of this happened, and I didn't hear any laughter from the two girls along the way.

However, after she walked away, the two girls in the corridor started talking bad about her.

"See, I told you she was Lin Zichen's personal maid, and now she's helping Lin Zichen wash his lunch boxes. She's really capable."

"Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. Her martial arts skills are so weak. If she doesn't work hard to please the master, she won't be able to stay in the elite class in the future."

"Who do you think is the maid?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in front of the two girls.

Both of them were startled and didn't even notice someone walking up to them.

"No, no, you heard wrong."

After seeing that the person coming was Lin Zichen, one of the girls explained in panic.

The other girl lowered her head silently, not daring to look directly into Lin Zichen's eyes.

Lin Zichen looked at the two girls in front of him.

One is called Wen Yuntong.

One is called Chu Yuxi.

Both of them had the lowest grades in the class, only slightly better than Shen Qinghan.

He didn't say much to the two of them, but just said calmly: "Don't let me hear you say bad things about Shen Qinghan again."

The person who was speaking was calm, but the people who were listening were very uneasy.

Both girls were thinking, it’s over, they’ve offended Lin Zichen, their three years of high school are over!

"Also, if you hear anyone else saying bad things about Shen Qinghan, please tell them what I just said."

After saying this, Lin Zichen turned around and returned to the classroom.

Looking at his departing back, the two girls breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that from now on, they must never laugh at Shen Qinghan like they did before.

Otherwise, if I offend Lin Zichen, my life in Shanhai Middle School will be difficult in the future.

…

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, the bell rang and the afternoon classes came to an end.

On the way home.

Lin Zichen thought about it, and finally looked at Shen Qinghan and asked, "You've been in a low mood recently. Is it because you heard someone say bad things about you?"

"That's true, but it's actually okay. I'm not feeling down or depressed."

Shen Qinghan pretended to be indifferent.

Lin Zichen said in a gentle voice: "If you encounter anything unhappy in the future, you can talk to me. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so we should be able to talk about anything."

Shen Qinghan nodded: "Yes, I will."

After saying this, the two walked for a distance in silence.

When they were almost home, Lin Zichen asked, "Do you feel a lot of pressure since you've always been ranked last in the class?"

"It's a bit big." Shen Qinghan pursed her lips and said weakly, "But my physical talent is predetermined. No matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with the others in the class."

Lin Zichen disagreed: "Physical talent is predetermined, but martial arts skills are not. Your physical talent is relatively close to Wen Yuntong and Chu Yuxi. If your martial arts skills far surpass theirs, you can defeat them on the martial arts stage."

"Will this really work?"

"I can do it." Lin Zichen said affirmatively, "From now on, I will help you train three times a week, focusing on your martial arts skills. By the end of the semester at the latest, you will be able to defeat them both in the martial arts arena."

After hearing what Lin Zichen said, Shen Qinghan's eyes, which had been a little dim, suddenly brightened up.

She didn't want to continue to be the last in the class.

As long as I can tear off the label of being the last in the class, I will feel much better even if people say that I got in through the backdoor.

…

PS: I am putting out a bowl, asking for monthly votes and recommendation tickets!
