Sitting in the stands, Lin Chen pondered how he should live his life. Should he continue taking the civil service exam? The answer was definitely no!
If you already have a winning hand with four twos, why bother taking the civil service exam? Wouldn't it be better to just honestly earn a few hundred million in retirement savings?
However, the first thing to do is definitely to get into a good university through the college entrance examination, but which university should I apply to?
Just then, someone nudged Lin Chen from the side: "Excuse me, classmate, this is to make up for your old popsicle."
Lin Chen turned his head and saw that it was Su Xiaowan. He asked, almost as if possessed, "Which school are you planning to apply to?"
Su Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, then stammered, "Shang...Shanghai Jiaotong University." After saying that, she ran away with a red face.
Lin Chen tore open the popsicle wrapper and muttered to himself, "Shanghai Jiao Tong University isn't bad either."
As I walked back to the classroom while eating an ice pop, Fatty Wang ran up to me and said, "Brother Chen, you're amazing! Class Monitor Jiang asked you to come out, but you were nowhere to be found. Class Monitor Jiang wants you to go to her office."
Lin Chen nodded and turned to walk towards the teachers' office.
Thinking to myself: I'm already thirty-five, why would I be afraid of a homeroom teacher who's only in his early thirties?
As it turns out, the role of a homeroom teacher has nothing to do with age; Lin Chen was lectured by Jiang Chunhua for a full half hour before being released.
Lin Chen returned to the classroom with a look of utter despair. Seeing everyone studying, he glanced at the timetable and turned to ask Fatty Wang, "Isn't this PE class?"
"Oh, the PE teacher is sick, so this class will be a self-study period instead."
Sick? Wasn't that pervert who was just interacting with the girl from the next class on the playground?
Lin Chen looked indignant. He knew that Jiang Chunhua must have spoken to the PE teacher, but he really didn't dare to be so stubborn as to confront him again.
But I'm still so angry, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. What should I do? Well, I'll go to the bathroom.
"Hey, Fatty, are you going to the bathroom?"
"Walk."
As the two passed by the next classroom, Lin Chen turned his head and glanced at Su Xiaowan, then smiled at her.
"Hey, Shen Yue, isn't that Lin Chen? He's been secretly watching you again. Seriously, aren't you going to consider him? He's handsome and devoted to you. I saw him watching you from the stands for ages during PE class."
"Oh dear, the college entrance exam is coming up soon. Let's think about it after the exam." Shen Yue blushed. Although Lin Chen was very handsome and she had feelings for him, she knew that there was no chance between them. Lin Chen's grades were just average, while her goal was Fudan University in Shanghai. However, she still decided to remind Lin Chen.
"I'm going to the restroom." Shen Yue got up and left the classroom, preparing to confront Lin Chen and tell him to focus his energy on his studies.
Lin Chen and Fatty Wang had just come out of the restroom when they ran into Shen Yue walking towards them. Fatty Wang teased Lin Chen, who was speechless. The rumors were so outrageous that no one believed him even if he denied them.
Shen Yue walked up to Lin Chen. Fatty Wang sensibly walked away, but hid around the corner to eavesdrop. Because of his large size, it was hard for Lin Chen not to notice him.
Shen Yue said, "Lin Chen, our most important task right now is the college entrance examination. Let's talk about dating after the exam. I will definitely give you my priority. Good luck! I hope you can get into your ideal university."
After saying that, she quickly walked into the women's restroom.
Fatty Wang ran over and punched Lin Chen on the shoulder: "Wow, Brother Chen, when did you confess? You didn't even tell me."
"I...she...you...oh dear, I didn't confess, no, I never even thought about confessing."
The self-study period hadn't even ended yet, and the incident that just happened at the toilet entrance was already known to everyone in both classes.
"Did you know? Lin Chen just confessed his feelings to Shen Yue at the bathroom door."
"I know, and Shen Yue even slapped Lin Chen."
"Big news! Big news! Lin Chen and another suitor of Shen Yue just got into a fight outside the restroom..."
...
The rumors kept getting more and more outrageous, until Lin Chen was completely dumbfounded.
"Lin Chen, come to my office." Jiang Chunhua stood at the classroom door with a dark expression.
Lin Chen walked over and suddenly said to Jiang Chunhua, "Jiang Ban, wait for me."
Then, ignoring Jiang Chunhua's astonished gaze, she ran to the door of the next classroom and shouted inside, "Chen Yue, I don't like you. There's no future for us. Give up on me."
After shouting, he walked back and said to Jiang Chunhua, who looked completely bewildered, "Commander Jiang, let's go."
Jiang Chunhua: "I...you...she...never mind, it's alright, go back to your studies."
"Oh well."
Lin Chen's shout was like a torpedo thrown into a pond, not only creating a lot of splashes but also killing the fish.
Everyone in Shen Yue's class turned to look at her. Shen Yue's face turned bright red, and she stood up abruptly and ran to Lin Chen's seat next to her.
"Lin Chen, what do you mean?"
"Literally, I don't like you."
"If you don't like me, why do you always peek at me when you pass by our classroom? If you don't like me, why did you sit on the bleachers and peek at me during PE class today?"
Lin Chen was speechless for a moment, but he didn't want to upset Shen Yue too much.
"Chen Yue, you've misunderstood me. I really didn't peek at you. I barely spoke to you in all three years of high school. What do I like about you? Do I like that you don't shower?"
"Lin Chen, I didn't skip a shower, you bastard!"
After saying that, she ran away crying.
Well, Lin Chen knew he had said the wrong thing. It just slipped out of his mouth. It was all Su Mingcheng's fault. But it was fine this way. He didn't have to clarify the rumors anymore, he didn't have to go to the homeroom teacher's office, and his mother wouldn't wrong him anymore.
After school, Lin Chen was packing his things to go home with Wang Pangzi when a group of students from other classes walked in. The leader said to Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, I'm warning you, don't have any more improper thoughts about Chen Yue."
The speaker was named Wang Kai. His father was in the real estate business, and his family was extremely wealthy. Everyone in the school knew that he liked Shen Yue, but Shen Yue didn't like him.
Even so, he still warned Shen Yue's crush every day, and even often got into fights for Shen Yue, acting like a total simp.
Lin Chen knew that Wang Kai had changed girlfriends more times each semester after entering university than he had taken any exams, and he was living the life Lin Chen had always dreamed of.
Lin Chen nodded seriously: "Okay, I accept your warning. But Kai, Shen Yue knocked over one of my popsicles today. Do you want to pay for it for her?"
Wang Kai's lips unconsciously curled up. This was the first person to accept his warning, and the school heartthrob at that, which made him feel very proud. The kid was good and had potential. He took out two red bills and handed them to Lin Chen: "I'll buy you all your popsicles this year."
"Okay, boss is very generous."
