Chapter 73 The Fragrance of Money at the Banquet
Lin Zhuyue and Shican fought over a piece of pork chop. After the third round, Shican conceded, and the chop fell into Lin Zhuyue's mouth. It had a salty, fresh taste with a hint of sweetness, and tasted delicious.
Everyone had a very satisfying dinner.
Lin Zhuyue ate and took away the remaining spare ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin and two steamed buns on the way back to dormitory building No. 2.
As she walked, she remembered that Xiaoyu was still at Shican's house.
Lin Zhuyue patted his head and continued walking towards his dormitory.
Lin Zhuyue, who drank too much Wangzai milk during dinner, chose to forget about the baby.
Xiaoyu will live in Shican's house today. Shican is rich and powerful, so he will not lack food or water. He will definitely raise him fat and beautiful, and turn him into a pig.
Shi Can returned home, took a shower, and sat on the bed, holding a chicken breast and a freeze-dried fish in his mouth, and said:
"Your mother doesn't want you anymore. Are you sad? It's okay. I want you. I'll give you freeze-dried food, cat food, a cat climbing frame, and a robot vacuum. Come live with me from now on, okay?"
If Ye Yangjia saw this scene, he would definitely curse:
You heartless thing, why are you puaing your sweetheart's kitten?
The third semester begins on July 1st.
Although the existence of the third semester has been criticized, it is actually quite relaxed. On days when students study in the classroom, classes start at nine in the morning and end at eleven, with no classes in the afternoon.
Shican didn’t enter the classroom until 8:50 in the morning.
He sat down next to Lin Zhuyue and yawned.
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Didn't you sleep well?"
"Played with Xiaoyu until two in the morning."
Shi Can groped in his backpack and took out a cat toy. He looked at the cat toy in despair and asked,
"Where are my textbooks? I remember I put textbooks in my bag... I'm done for. Will Mr. Fu spank me?"
Ye Yangjia turned around and said:
"I think Lao Fu might laugh himself crazy."
Wen Miyan agreed: "It's really funny."
Lin Zhuyue very kindly pushed her textbook towards Shican and said:
"You can read my textbook."
"Partners are still more humane."
Shi Can expressed his contempt for Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia, saying,
"I'm so miserable, and you two are still laughing at me. Do you have any sympathy at all? Are you two beasts?"
Ye Yangjia ruthlessly broke Shi Can's fantasy:
"Your partner is laughing too, okay? How can you be so selectively blind, you bastard?"
Lin Zhuyue turned her head away, covered her mouth, and her shoulders twitched.
Shi Can curled the corners of his mouth and raised his hand to pat Lin Zhuyue's shoulder.
After Lin Zhuyue turned around with her hand covering her mouth, Shi Can grabbed Lin Zhuyue's wrist and took her hand away from her mouth.
Shi Can's palms were a circle larger than Lin Zhuyue's, and his fingers were long and strong. With one hand, he could firmly grasp Lin Zhuyue's wrists. Before Lin Zhuyue felt restrained, he used his other hand to stuff a grape-flavored candy into her mouth and let go of her wrists.
He put the whole bag of candy into Lin Zhuyue's arms.
By the next break, this bag of candy will be divided up among the girls in the class.
Class time soon arrived. Fu Xingwei carried his computer into the classroom, connected the computer to the classroom's multimedia teaching equipment, projected the screen, and introduced the third semester's study plan to the students.
"As everyone knows, there are seven grades in the senior division. As students, you will face more difficult tasks as you advance to a higher grade."
Fu Xingwei said to the students in the class,
"The third semester of each school year is a transition period arranged by the Spiritual Master Academy to help students adapt to the next school year."
"During this three-week third semester, you will have three courses to study: the first, how to fight a Yin Master; the second, how to handle emergencies when faced with a robbed tomb; and the third, summer internship."
On the first day of the third semester, Fu Xingwei introduced the dangers of Yin Master to the students.
A Yin master is a spiritual master who has gone astray.
The evil ways they practiced were varied, some cultivated evil spirits, some borrowed luck and lifespan... Unlike the charlatans who only wanted to defraud money, Yin masters were much more dangerous.
Many Yinshi were originally spiritual masters, and some even received education at spiritual master academies when they were young. This also means that they are very familiar with spiritual masters, which makes Yinshi even more difficult to deal with.
When school was about to end, Fu Xingwei wrote five names on the electronic whiteboard.
"These five people are all famous Yin masters."
Fu Xingwei put down the pen in his hand and said,
"I'll send their materials to the group later. Your homework today is to read the materials. For those students who can't tell the difference between a cat teaser and a textbook, please take note: I'm asking you to read the materials, not the instructions for freeze-dried cats. Don't get it wrong."
The class erupted in unkind laughter.
Shi Chan was very annoyed and thought:
Laugh, laugh, laugh! If you laugh again, I will put a curse on you and you won’t be able to make a sound for three days!
After school, Lin Zhuyue went to Shican's house to pick up the cat.
Although the homework assigned by Fu Xingwei is easy, today will be a very busy day——
Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia celebrated their birthdays and rented a relatively luxurious villa in Linhai City, which came with a swimming pool, billiard room, screening room and KTV. They invited friends and classmates to go over and have fun together.
Wen Miyan's birthday was July 1st, and Ye Yangjia's was July 2nd. Their birthdays were close together, and their social circles were similar, so to avoid having their friends attend two birthday parties in two days, they simply celebrated them together.
Lin Zhuyue brought Xiaoyu back to the dormitory, added food and water to her, washed and dressed herself, changed into more appropriate clothes, and after completing the homework assigned by Fu Xingwei, she met Shi Can at the agreed place and went to Linhai City for the banquet together.
Wen Miyan brought a chef and also hired a pastry chef.
The pastry chef was from France, had won world-class awards, and his travel expenses were staggeringly expensive. The pastry chef's schedule was very full, and if it weren't for her grandmother's intervention, Wen Miyan wouldn't have been able to invite him over.
However, Wen Miyan still asked the friends attending the dinner to prepare some ingredients each, as she wanted to eat a surprise hot pot with random ingredients.
So, before arriving at the villa, Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can went to a large supermarket first.
Shi Can picked up the crispy shark from the supermarket shelf and put it into the shopping cart. After taking the crispy shark, he took a bag of Wangzai snow cakes. When he passed the grocery area, he took only two steps and went back, picking up a bottle of stinky tofu.
Lin Zhuyue trembled with fear as he watched.
Shi Can didn't go to the banquet at all, he went to kill people! Kill Wen Miyan first, then kill Ye Yangjia, and by the way, kill everyone who attended the banquet.
Lin Zhuyue originally wanted to buy some vegetables and meat slices, but after seeing the ingredients prepared by Shi Can, she decided not to buy them.
Even if there was M9+ Wagyu beef in this hot pot, she wouldn't eat a single bite.
After buying the ingredients, they went to the counter to pay.
The milk sugar apple that Lin Zhuyue bought did not have a barcode, only a price tag, and the cashier could not scan it on the machine.
"I'll go to the fruit section and ask someone to type in the barcode."
Shi Chan picked up the box of milk custard apple and said,
"Wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."
Lin Zhuyue was standing next to the cashier waiting.
The cashier asked her:
"Is that handsome guy's last name Shi?"
Lin Zhuyue turned around and asked:
"Do you know him?"
"This supermarket was opened by his father. He accompanied our boss to the grand opening ceremony last year. It's hard to forget someone like that once you've seen him."
The cashier whispered to Lin Zhuyue,
"At that time, I thought he was quite arrogant and a cool guy, but now it seems that he is a very gentle boy."
"It's quite gentle."
Lin Zhuyue thought for a moment and added,
“…But it’s also very arrogant.”
"Wouldn't you like to buy some of this?"
The cashier took a box of Okamoto from the shelf next to the cash register, lowered his voice, and said to Lin Zhuyue,
“This is very thin and feels very smooth to use.”
Lin Zhuyue: “…Ah?”
When Shican came back, he was holding a bag of chocolates.
After the cashier scanned the barcode of the product, Lin Zhuyue was about to pay, but Shi Can quickly took out a gold membership card from his pocket and won the payment battle without any dispute.
Shi Can didn't let her carry the shopping bags. He carried the three large bags to the car himself.
When they got in the car, Lin Zhuyue told Shi Can that the cashier at the supermarket knew him.
"It is indeed opened by my family. I was there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony last year. I wore a mask and a hat at the time, but I didn't expect people to remember me anyway."
Shi Can said as he reversed the car.
"Actually, the villa where Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia held their birthday party is also mine. You must not tell them, or they will definitely ask me to reimburse the party expenses."
Lin Zhuyue sat in the passenger seat and said:
"You are really charming sometimes."
Shi Can's hand holding the steering wheel almost slipped. He turned his head to look at Lin Zhuyue, and his heart beat faster unconsciously.
Why are you suddenly saying something like that?
Do you want to confess?
Lin Zhuyue said seriously:
"The whole body exudes the fragrance of money."
“…”
Shi Can was speechless and choked. After a moment, he corrected himself.
“…That’s called the smell of money.”
Lin Zhuyue insisted, "I think it smells good."
Shi Can gritted his teeth and said:
"Then... you smell good too..."
Lin Zhuyue nodded: "Thank you."
Shi Can often felt like Lin Zhuyue was driving him crazy. Lin Zhuyue was slow-witted, yet her mouth was full of strange things. Shi Can sometimes wanted to kiss her hard, bite her lips, and bite her every time she said something strange, until she was too afraid to speak.
They drove with the windows open, enjoying the evening breeze, and rushed to the villa where Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia were holding their birthday party.
The villa is very large, and including the courtyard with a swimming pool, it covers an area of about 900 square meters.
Colorful lights are hung on the exterior walls of the villa.
Most of the people who came to the party were students from Class 1, Grade 3, and there were also a few from other classes. Everyone dressed in a low-key and appropriate manner.
The protagonist of the banquet is also very coquettish——
One was dressed up as a Disney princess, and the other was wearing the costume of the Phantom of the Opera. They held the microphone in the KTV downstairs and shouted passionately, but they were tune-deaf, which completely ruined their costumes.
The pastry chef was placing black swan fondant on the cake despite the noise. I have to say that his craftsmanship was quite outstanding and the black swan looked very elegant and noble.
There were many people attending the banquet, and at Wen Miyan's request, the pastry chef also prepared other desserts. These desserts were very small, but they were exquisite and had excellent taste. Each one was suitable for a Michelin three-star menu.
Shi Chan walked over and spoke to the pastry chef in French.
Wen Miyan whispered the translation to Lin Zhuyue:
"He said he had watched George's dessert-making tutorial online, but the kohlrabi he baked was always hard and not as crispy as in the video. He really wanted to learn how to make it because someone around him loves it, and he hoped George could give him some advice."
"George advised him to pay attention to the mold he used and to understand the temperament of the oven. After all, a home oven is not a professional appliance."
At seven o'clock, the birthday dinner began.
Everyone gathered on the first floor and gave gifts to Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia. After receiving the gifts, the two did not open them on the spot. The banquet went straight to the cake-cutting stage.
Black Swan Cake has a relatively low cream content, making it a very solid cake. Even a world-class pastry chef's cake isn't suitable for a cream war, at least not in front of him. So everyone was very restrained, enjoying the cakes honestly, and no cream wars broke out.
The real sensation started with Free Hotpot.
Shican’s stinky tofu is already legendary.
Gong Yongyuan’s canned herring is a masterpiece.
The savory and spicy hot pot, the taste of chocolate wafers, Wangzai snow cakes, stinky tofu and canned herrings is simply too "wonderful".
Ye Yangjia was stunned and asked:
"What kind of hot pot is this? Are you two here to make medicine?"
"George asked if we were cooking shit."
Wen Miyan stood far away, with a very unhappy expression on her face.
"Hold these two bastards down!"
The students rushed forward and surrounded Shi Can and Gong Yongyuan. Their only goal at this moment was to not let these two people escape and to work together to control them.
Shi Chan was pushed directly onto the sofa.
Ye Yangjia suppressed his nausea, filled a bowl of soup, scooped it with a spoon, and handed it to Shi Can's mouth.
Shi Chan lay on the sofa, his mouth tightly shut, refusing to drink the soup.
Ye Yangjia threatened viciously:
"If you don't drink it, I'll give it to your partner!"
Lin Zhuyue, who was eating a sugar apple, asked: "......?"
No? What does it have to do with her?
Shi Can closed his eyes and said, "...I'll drink."
Ye Yangjia, holding a bowl and a spoon, inexplicably ate a mouthful of dog food:
Shi Chan is simply too much to love.
Two minutes later, Gong Yongyuan was in the bathroom on the first floor, and Shican was in the bathroom on the second floor, and both of them were vomiting.
After vomiting, Shi Can opened a bottle of white peach-flavored mouthwash and rinsed the remaining taste from his mouth. After cleaning his mouth, he left the bathroom and went downstairs to find Lin Zhuyue.
The hot pot that was meant for revenge against society has been removed, and the room has been sprayed with sea-flavored air freshener, which, combined with the fresh air system, has dispelled the disgusting smell.
But as soon as Shi Can came back, he was caught by Lin Zhuyue.
Lin Zhuyue walked up to him with a smile, stood on tiptoe, and got as close to his nose as possible.
Shi Chan was stunned.
Lin Zhuyue's actions were very ambiguous, as if she wanted to kiss him.
Shi Can was extremely nervous. His body and limbs were out of control. He stood there, unable to move at all. He could only let Lin Zhuyue get closer to him.
Lost a game of truth or dare?
Still playing the King's Game?
Just as Shi Can was guessing the various possibilities of Lin Zhuyue doing this, Lin Zhuyue opened his mouth and exhaled.
The stench of durian hit my nose.
Shi Chan's heart died.
It turned out that he had eaten durian candy and was deliberately teasing him.
That night, everyone played until late, and the villa was in a mess. Ye Yangjia said that someone would come to clean it up tomorrow, so they didn't need to worry about it and just left it alone. Then everyone set off back to Tiancheng.
Shi Can sent Lin Zhuyue to the downstairs of dormitory building No. 2.
He actually wanted to keep Lin Zhuyue living at home, but Xiaoyu was in the dormitory, so Lin Zhuyue had to go back to accompany it.
When Lin Zhuyue got out of the car, Shi Can stretched out his long arm, took Lin Zhuyue's backpack from the back seat and handed it to her.
When she took the backpack, Lin Zhuyue heard a sound of plastic inside, and she planned to open the backpack to take a look.
Shi Can explained to Lin Zhuyue:
"I bought some chocolate and wanted to share it with everyone, but I forgot to take it out. You can take it back and eat it."
Lin Zhuyue did not continue to open the backpack.
"Then I'll take it back and eat it."
Lin Zhuyue put the bag on her back, waved to Shican, and said with a smile,
"See you tomorrow."
Shi Chan nodded: "See you tomorrow."
Lin Zhuyue returned to the dormitory. After opening the door, she squatted down and greeted Xiaoyu, who came to greet her. She quickly walked towards the refrigerator, unzipped her backpack, and took out the chocolate.
Chocolate is best kept in the refrigerator.
After Lin Zhuyue took out the bag, he said blankly:
"Confession chocolate...?"
As the name suggests, confession chocolate is chocolate used for confession. Each chocolate in this pack is hollow, with a small note hidden inside, with love words written on it.
Lin Zhuyue was a little curious, so he took one out and bit off half of the chocolate.
There was indeed a note inside.
Lin Zhuyue unfolded the note.
"The starry sky reflected in your eyes is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life."
Quite romantic?
But she wasn't too happy about eating paper in her chocolate.
The next morning at 8:10, Shi Can entered Lin Zhuyue's dormitory, carrying breakfast. Lin Zhuyue had just finished washing up and was sitting at the dining table reading the erotic comics Wen Miyan had sent her.
As soon as Shi Chan came over, she immediately turned off her phone.
Shi Chan sat down, opened the lunch box, and asked:
"Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no."
Lin Zhuyue quickly changed the subject and asked,
"What's the filling in the buns?"
"The willow-leaf-shaped ones are made with kidney beans and meat, the oil-soaked buns are made with Orleans chicken, and the tofu pudding is made with vegetarian golden soup."
Shi Can picked up a kidney bean and meat bun with chopsticks and said,
"It seems like Ye Yangjia's family is choosing a marriage partner for him."
Lin Zhuyue almost choked on a mouthful of tofu pudding and said:
"Choose now? Isn't it a little too early?"
Ye Yangjia just turned nineteen today.
Shi Can took a step back to allow Xiaoyu to jump onto his legs. He stroked the kitten and said:
"It's a bit early, but it's actually quite normal. For children from a family of metaphysics, the better their family background and qualifications, the earlier their marriage will be decided."
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Then is Miyan also..."
Shi Can nodded: "Yeah, she's almost there too."
Lin Zhuyue looked at Shi Can with some distress and asked:
"and you……"
Shi Chan stroked the cat in his arms and said:
"Who knows? Given my parents' temperament, maybe one day I'll be tied up and put into a sedan chair, and forced to marry some real daughter who has returned?"
Lin Zhuyue felt that Shican read too many online articles. When she had the chance to see Shican's phone again, she would definitely download some high-quality article reader on Shican's phone so that he could have something good to eat.
Xiaoyu rolled over in Shican's arms.
"Mao Mao said, why do humans still need to get married?"
Shi Can kissed Xiaoyu's cat paw and said,
"Maomao has no idea about marriage. He eats well and drinks well, and remains a simple-minded child his whole life."
After breakfast, the two walked towards the teaching building together.
Ye Yangjia had already arrived at the classroom. He had a sad face and kept sighing. His face was much paler than usual.
"Hey, buddy, what are you worried about?"
Gong Yongyuan fanned Ye Yangjia with the textbook and said,
"Except for that couple who feed us dog food every day, everyone in our class has to pass this test. If you really can't stand it, just tell your parents that you're not good enough. I don't believe your parents will continue to arrange a date for you after hearing that you're not good enough."
Ye Yangjia just wanted to grab the textbook and smash it on Gong Yongyuan's head.
Lin Zhuyue has an extraordinary ability to capture the key points:
"Who feeds everyone dog food every day?"
It seems like there is no one in this class who is in a relationship?
Shi Can handed the biscuit to Lin Zhuyue's mouth and said:
"The coffee biscuits seem a bit bitter. Want to try it?"
Lin Zhuyue held the biscuit in his mouth.
Gong Yongyuan rolled his eyes, turned around and snatched the iron box where Shi Can had put the biscuits, picked up the cookie and took a bite, and almost vomited it out because it was so bitter.
He quickly unscrewed the lid of the water cup, took a big sip of water, and swallowed the biscuit in his mouth.
Gong Yongyuan asked, "The cookies are so bitter, are you killing people?"
Shi Chan hooked his finger, and two little paper figures jumped onto Gong Yongyuan's desk, lifted the biscuit box one after another, and returned the box to Shi Chan's desk.
"You lose more than you gain by stealing a chicken."
Shi Can put the box in front of Lin Zhuyue and asked,
"Is it for you? And you started eating it? It's not made to your taste at all, so of course you think it's bitter."
Wen Miyan took the box away:
"It's okay. I can endure hardship."
The students in the class couldn't stand Shi Chan's forced feeding of dog food to others, so they divided the cookies among themselves. Even those who couldn't bear the hardship would eat a piece in order to fight against Shi Chan's evil power.
"I knew you bastards wouldn't behave like human beings."
Shi Can took out the second iron box from his schoolbag and said,
“I baked two boxes.”
Shi Can handed the box back to Lin Zhuyue.
“…It’s too bitter.”
Lin Zhuyue covered her mouth and shook her head.
"No more."
Shi Can: “……?”
The only one who could give him a damaging blow was Lin Zhuyue.
Shi Chan munched on the biscuits while muttering:
"What's this little bit of suffering? My life is much more miserable..."
