Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 139 - 102: Three Generations, One Lineage

"..."

The reporters were bombarding with various questions. Shen Qiushan originally couldn’t be bothered to answer, but when he heard that Wang Zhixin thought he’d score no more than 500, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, swept his gaze around, and finally spotted Wang Zhixin on the outer edge of the crowd.

He was too small and thin to squeeze in past his colleagues, so he had to stand on tiptoe at the outer edge, becoming an "outer ring reporter!"

"Old Wang, what if I score over 500?"

Shen Qiushan shouted towards Wang Zhixin.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze fell on Wang Zhixin.

"I’ll take your surname!"

After a brief pause, Wang Zhixin shouted back loudly.

"OK!"

"Reporter Shen Zhixin."

Shen Qiushan laughed heartily and strode into the exam hall.

There was a certain heroic sense of "laughing to the skies as you leave home, how could we be mere weeds?"

Thanks to Shen Qiushan drawing all the attention, Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao, the siblings, weren’t bothered by the reporters and had already gone to their respective exam rooms ahead of their father.

As an older candidate, Shen Qiushan was placed in an exam room with other older candidates. These people ranged from those looking around twenty-five or twenty-six to the oldest, whose hair was white and was at least fifty.

And Shen Qiushan "knew" this person because tales about him had been circulating online.

This man was called Zhao Xuelin, who had taken the college entrance exam eighteen times in a row and had been interviewed by many media outlets. He was famously known as the "persistent exam taker!"

"Shen Qiushan!"

"You’re Shen Qiushan?"

As soon as Shen Qiushan entered the exam room, he immediately attracted the attention of the other candidates, as everyone recognized Shen Qiushan, and some had even decided to take the exam to pursue their dreams after hearing about him.

The persistent exam taker Zhao Xuelin was the first to approach Shen Qiushan, and he said with a grin, "Xiaoshen, I’ve read about you online. I heard you scored over 690 in the mock exam, didn’t cheat, right?"

Zhao Xuelin, this old guy, didn’t hesitate to dive into a sensitive topic right away.

After hearing his question, the other candidates perked up their ears, eager for some gossip, since they were obviously interested in this question too. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Of course, I cheated!"

Shen Qiushan shrugged, "Who could score that high without cheating!"

"Uh?"

Hearing such a response, everyone in the exam room was stunned.

Nobody expected that participating in the exam would lead to such juicy gossip.

However, Zhao Xuelin just laughed, "You’re quite the joker!"

People are often like this: if you don’t give them the answer they want, they’ll keep doubting, but when you give the answer they want, they think you’re lying!

It’s quite strange!

At the school gate.

After Shen Qiushan entered the exam room, the reporters surrounded Lin Xiamo again.

Even though Lin Xiamo didn’t have her own social media account, she was now considered an "internet-famous principal," and on the Sanjiang High School’s Express account, any video featuring Lin Xiamo got at least ten thousand likes.

For those videos without Lin Xiamo in them, the comments section would be flooded with messages like "I want Principal Lin" or "Bring back Principal Lin."

With the title of "internet-famous principal" and being the spokesperson of the high school Shen Qiushan attended, it was normal for reporters to swarm Lin Xiamo.

"Principal Lin, how many points do you think Shen Qiushan will score?"

"Principal Lin, is it true that you’re related to Shen Qiushan?"

"Earlier, Wang Zhixin said Shen Qiushan wouldn’t score more than 500, what’s your take?"

"Principal Lin, is today’s qipao specially worn for Shen Qiushan?"

While the reporters threw out various questions, some were constantly searching for angles to photograph or video Lin Xiamo.

With such appearance and figure, any video posted on social media accounts could easily attract considerable traffic, especially when combined with the hot topic of the college entrance exam.

"I hope all the candidates achieve excellent results and enter their desired universities."

"As for how many points Shen Qiushan will score, I won’t make an assessment. When the results are out, our school will announce it as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your interest in the Sanjiang High School candidates."

Lin Xiamo’s response was very official, and then she promptly got into her car, choosing to ignore the reporters.

Seeing that nothing valuable could be extracted from Lin Xiamo, some reporters turned to Old Shen, Shen Dehua, and Zheng Yi.

The three of them had come with Shen Qiushan, so it was obvious they were his family.

"Sir, are you Shen Qiushan’s father?"

A reporter held a microphone in front of Old Shen.

"Yes."

Old Shen responded with a word, then asked the reporter in return, "Which channel are you from?"

"Uncle Shen, I’m a reporter from Sanjiang Life Channel, Zhou Ruolin, can we have a chat?" Zhou Ruolin quickly introduced herself.

"From the Life Channel, alright then."

Old Shen slightly tidied his clothes, thinking that after all, he would be on TV, so he had to maintain a good image, making it easier to show off when he went to work, especially to the two old ladies selling pancakes and meat-stuffed buns at the community entrance.

"Uncle Shen, what do you think about your son taking the college entrance exam, do you support him?"

"Support, of course, I support it!"

Old Shen straightened his chest and said, "Actually, it was I who encouraged him to take the exam. Qiushan has loved studying since he was young, and he’s always been a good student. He just didn’t perform well in the college entrance exam that year and failed, which was a regret. I’ve always wanted him to make up for that regret, but having two kids to raise didn’t allow it."

"Now that both kids have grown up and this opportunity came, about three months ago, he said he wanted to take the college entrance exam, and I told him right away to go for it! He must take it!"

"We have the capability. As long as he gets accepted, we’ll support him through university, even if we have to sell everything we have..."

Old Shen spoke passionately and heroically.

Next to him, Shen Dehua’s face was a display of "emojis."

First, her mouth slightly open in surprise, then wide enough to fit a fist, showing shock.

Finally, her eyes were wide open like small lanterns!

As a member of the Shen Family, even she couldn’t help but silently marvel: The Shen Family’s three generations truly share the same traits!

If these three were to visit a cattle farm together, the cows would surely be floating in the air.

No choice, it’s just how capable they are!

While Shen Dehua silently griped, Old Shen’s speech was winding down. Perhaps he was too carried away with bragging, so his closing remarks were quite explosive: "The fortune-teller said in my past life I was the Wenqu Star! Qiushan is my son, and the son of the Wenqu Star, how could he be any less!"
