Chapter 51 The Campus Genius Used as Cannon Fodder (Fifteen) The Interrogator...
The interrogator no longer cared about what she said; her feigned madness and flawless acting only seemed to confirm her identity as a spy.
The main plot of the novel revolves around the male and female protagonists. It's another sweet campus romance novel that doesn't mention any major events. At most, it might mention a heavy rainstorm or a bus delay, but these kinds of novels don't specify the exact date.
Wen Yin went from initially trying to conceal some information about the future to later racking her brains to prove that she had really transmigrated into the book. However, it only took her half a month, but unfortunately, the plot she was familiar with no longer existed.
Ultimately, Wen Yin was sentenced to thirteen years in prison for crimes including espionage and intentional injury. On the day of the sentencing, she suddenly went mad and committed suicide by banging her head against the wall in her cell.
The guards could still hear her screaming in despair, saying that this was the world in the book, that she was dreaming, and that she would definitely go back!
When Lin You finally remembered to visit Wen Yin in prison, she learned that Wen Yin was already dead, her death shrouded in mystery, as if it were a child's game.
It's unknown whether she has achieved her wish and traveled back to her original world.
Lin You and Shen Zechen sighed about it for a while, and then ignored it.
Of course, Wen Yin's death still had some impact on them. At least now that the source of danger was gone, Lin You no longer needed to follow Shen Zechen around every step of the way.
Then, Lin You had more free time. Shen Zechen rearranged her class schedule and added an elective psychology course.
"Brother Ze, they're all younger sisters, we can't favor one over the other. Look how smart Mengmeng is, she can excel in both arts and sciences, why don't you teach her programming!"
After protesting the invalidity of the timetable, Lin You began to urge, "Mengmeng should at least learn the basics of programming. As the sister of the Dark Lord, how can she not know how to hack QQ accounts!"
"She's not a system, why would she need to learn how to steal QQ accounts? Even if she wanted to, I'm here, why would she need to learn?" Shen Zechen's favoritism was taken for granted.
After all, Shen Shumeng will always live in the same world as him, and he can protect this younger sister under his wings and let her grow up slowly, while Lin You has an unknown future ahead.
Thinking this to himself didn't stop him from teasing her. After Lin You's seven protests went unanswered, Shen Zechen finally faced a counterattack. He tasted black pepper in the newly made ramen.
Then, he ate strange food for three whole days. He didn't know how the girl managed to make it, but all the food she made had a black pepper flavor.
Pork rib soup and beef noodles are one thing, but who puts black pepper in their sweet rice wine soup or taro ball soup?
Lin You had put the black pepper in her spatial backpack, so she could just throw it into the pot when he was cooking. She could pass through any object and do it silently.
As for why she had black pepper in her backpack, it was a seasoning stock that Shen Zechen had bought for her. However, she had almost used it all up, and if she wanted to add more, she would just add vinegar.
Knowing the truth and disliking sour foods, Shen Zechen was speechless for a long time before finally choosing to stop hurting each other and sincerely apologized.
Not only did the homework return to normal, but they also bought Lin You a new tablet and placed it in her bedroom so she could browse shopping apps and watch live streams, which finally put an end to the dispute.
Lin You most often watches Ding Jie's live stream. Ding Jie's academic performance is quite good, which is why he was able to get into this university.
He was also a very organized person. The school he wanted to apply to was the National Academy of Dramatic Arts, and his dream was to become an actor.
Who knew that his mother secretly changed his college application, and after the acceptance letter came out, she boasted about her achievement to everyone.
Ding Jie's father died early, and his mother raised him alone. She was competitive all her life and hoped that he would make something of himself. She was unwilling to accept that Ding Jie, who had the score of a prestigious university, insisted on studying acting. She made a huge fuss, but Ding Jie had no choice but to accept his fate and come here.
Young people always pursue their dreams with unwavering determination and persistence. Even after changing his major, he continued to teach himself acting and hone his delivery of lines, eventually securing a sliver of opportunity.
Ding Jie took a two-week leave to film the movie, and now he has finally finished filming and returned to school. Although the pay he received this time was not much, he was very happy.
He filmed a web series, and the lead actor was a fairly popular celebrity. Ding Jie even asked for a few autographed photos from him.
After hearing that Shen Zechen's younger sister had also been admitted to this school and become their junior, Ding Jie gave all the autographed photos he had obtained in Hengdian to Shen Shumeng.
"Don't you young girls all like to follow celebrities? Take this and play with it, consider it a gift from Brother Ding."
Ding Jie smiled at Shen Shumeng, "It's just to show respect. When I meet someone who looks like a celebrity, I go over and ask for their autograph. Actually, I don't really know many people like that."
That thick stack contained at least a hundred sheets, including many second- and third-tier celebrities. I wonder how he managed to collect them.
Ding Jie continued working as a live streamer. Now that he's more popular, he gets some advertising deals. He saves the money he earns to support his dreams and also to provide security for his mother.
Ding Jie knew that besides being concerned about his image, his mother was also worried about him and wanted him to have a stable job.
Now that she knows he can actually make money from live streaming, and that a single advertisement can be worth half a year's salary for an average person, Ding's mother finally relented and stopped pressuring Ding Jie to work a 9-to-5 job.
Ding Jie's goal is to become an actor, but live streaming is his fallback plan. He will not give up his dream, nor will he give up his stable income.
After learning that Shen Zechen's store wanted to attract more customers, Ding Jie even went to the store to do a live stream. He and his 100,000 fans witnessed Shen Zechen's amazing animal taming abilities.
Those scrunched-up, restless furry little creatures immediately became docile and obedient after being soothed by the seemingly young owner. They could be cuddled and hugged at will, and even willing to take a bath on their own, as if they had been enchanted.
The clips from the live stream were edited into short videos, accompanied by catchy music, and quickly spread online. Shen Zechen even gained a new title: "The chief disciple of the Beast Taming Sect who transmigrated here."
Thanks to Shen Zechen's efforts to attract customers, his unassuming little shop has become a popular spot for internet celebrities to check in. Some people even drive hundreds of miles with their most unruly pets to challenge his skills.
Shen Zechen became even busier. He had someone dismantle the inner rest room and install several more shower heads, so now the shop can accommodate six pets for bathing at the same time.
Shen Shumeng was equally busy. Her brother had to earn money to support the family, so how could she sit idly by? Every time the store opened, she would go and help with the cashier and other odd jobs.
To this end, she even studied accounting books and methods for managing and operating a shop, leading a fulfilling and satisfying life.
Lin You looked at the busy Shen Shumeng and Shen Zechen, who was leisurely lying down, petting his furry friend and even having time to play games on his phone. She couldn't understand why her sister Shen thought her brother was so busy.
"When exactly are you planning to tell Mengmeng that you don't need human staff for this cashier?" Lin You asked, feeling rather helpless.
Shen Zechen wasn't trying to tease his younger sister. "Mengmeng is too introverted. This way, she can meet more people and learn something."
Lin You didn't believe this excuse. It was clearly just a sister-obsessed girl who couldn't stand seeing her brother steal her sweetheart. After all, for Shen Shumeng, helping her brother with chores was much more important than going out to play with others.
Poor Gu Jin, he revised his schedule again and again, all he wanted was a sweet date with his beloved, but his future brother-in-law always managed to steal the show. He was getting really discouraged.
After hearing for the seventh time that the girl he liked couldn't accept his date request because she had to help out at the pet shop, Gu Jin took advantage of the weekend to run home, steal his mother's Border Collie, and send it to the pet shop.
This Border Collie is named Autumn. Border Collies are known for being among the most intelligent dog breeds, and Autumn is no exception. She isn't afraid of taking a bath, but she is very greedy and has a lot of energy.
"Autumn not only likes to destroy things in the house, but also blames others. Once, it broke a vase and deliberately put my slippers nearby, which made my dad nag me for days!"
After Gu Jin handed the dog to Shen Zechen, she began to tell Shen Shumeng about Qiu Tian's great achievements, and also gave a detailed account of her family's financial situation, which made Shen Zechen roll his eyes.
Shen Shumeng was amused and even teased Qiu Tian with a teething toy after Gu Jin took over her work.
With Shen Zechen's help to soothe it, Shen Shumeng quickly became familiar with the dog, rubbing its head while feeding it snacks.
Seeing the ever-present upturn of her lips, Gu Jin didn't forget to talk to her while working, picking out topics that interested Chen Shumeng:
"Don't let its well-behaved appearance fool you, it holds a grudge. I caught it stealing snacks before and told my mom. A few days later, it actually dragged my mom into my room while I was secretly eating takeout!"
Shen Shumeng held Qiutian and played with him, marveling at the Border Collie's intelligence. Gu Jin had no idea at that moment that he had arranged a huge third wheel for himself.
Gu Jin had a very fulfilling day. He not only experienced the life of a cashier and a stock clerk, but also chatted with the girl he liked for a long time.
Although they talked mostly about the Border Collie Qiu Tian's hobbies and past experiences, the girl he liked only paid attention to Qiu Tian and didn't even glance at him.
Shen Zechen was initially a little unhappy, but later he just watched Gu Jin make a fool of herself.
It's truly delightful to see that brat who's eyeing his sister competing for attention with his own dog, and ultimately losing.
Gu Jin ultimately couldn't stay until the pet shop closed. His mother made thirteen phone calls in a row, giving him a firm order to send Qiu Tian back.
Gu Jin looked at Shen Shumeng with tender and lingering eyes, reluctant to part. Shen Shumeng looked at the dog with tender and lingering eyes, reluctant to part. The two of them and the dog were practically staging a grand farewell ceremony.
Shen Zechen and Lin You secretly watched the drama unfold on the sidelines, with Shen Zechen even secretly eating half a bag of sunflower seeds.
Lin You even suggested, "Brother Ze, let's bring Bai Xue next time. Although rabbits aren't as smart as dogs, they can still understand some commands."
Shen Zechen had a general understanding of how the Beast Taming Technique could increase intelligence, and even planned to bring back the oranges he often fed at school.
Gu Jin drove away with the dog, turning back every few steps. On the way, he couldn't help but mutter to Qiu Tian, "I asked you to come here to help me pursue a girlfriend, not to steal her from me. You're a single dog yourself, so you can't interfere with my dating life."
Autumn barked and whined in rebuttal, rolling its eyes at him dismissively, which made Gu Jin argue with it all the way.
When he got home, before he could even complain to his mother, Mrs. Gu had already hugged Qiutian tightly and called her her precious darling for a long time.
They asked it what it ate and drank, whether it had fun, and whether Gu Jin had bullied it.
The dog barked a few times in response, wagged its tail incessantly at Gu's mother, and even buried its head in her arms.
“Baby misses Mommy, oh, sweetie. You’re so thoughtful, unlike some people who study in the same city but don’t come back for three to five months at a time.”
Mrs. Gu snorted at her son beside her, "Anyone who didn't know better would think that someone is busier than his CEO father!"
Watching her mother walk away affectionately with the dog, saying she would personally cook it a delicious meal, Gu Jin felt incredibly heartbroken.
He touched his empty stomach and sighed deeply. His mother would definitely not remember to make him dinner.
Gu Jin squatted miserably in the corner, took out his phone and ordered takeout for himself. His phone pinged, and it turned out that Shen Shumeng had sent him a message.
He opened it with great anticipation, only to be asked if he had arrived home, if Qiu Tian had gotten carsick on the way, and that she had packed a lot of Qiu Tian's favorite snacks to send to her.
Gu Jin held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help replying:
Am I entitled to any snacks?
The pet store wasn't crowded in the evening. Shen Shumeng was playing on her phone when she received a message. She frowned and thought about it for a while before looking up and asking Shen Zechen:
"Bro, can people eat the dog treats we have?"
Shen Zechen was drinking soda when he was choked by these words and coughed repeatedly, almost feeding half a bottle of soda to his laptop.
Shen Shumeng was sitting at the cashier's counter. There was a camera at her spot, and some unscrupulous guy was spying on the two of them chatting through the camera.
He finally caught his breath, quickly put the soda aside, and replied with a serious expression, "Our pet snacks are all specially selected by me. They are clean, hygienic, and have no additives. They are absolutely safe for humans to eat!"
