Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 143 - 104: The College Entrance Exam Is Over, A Mysterious Gift for Father-in-law!
Actually, there are really very few people in today’s society who can do this.
Because people are often confused by glamorous appearances.
Being held by the hand like this by Old Shen, Lin Moxuan actually felt a bit uncomfortable, but he knew it was a way for the other person to express enthusiasm.
Shen Qiushan also stood up to greet Lin Moxuan.
Since the last dinner, the relationship between the two had eased somewhat, mainly because Lin Moxuan’s attitude towards Shen Qiushan had changed.
Because Shen Qiushan’s attitude towards this father-in-law had always been consistent, there was no problem of easing or not easing.
But Lin Moxuan was different. He had always held significant prejudice against Shen Qiushan, even looking down on him at times!
However, Shen Qiushan’s recent series of changes indeed made him look at him with new respect!
At 38 years old, returning to high school, and even managing to get the first place in a history mock exam!
Lin Moxuan considered himself incapable of achieving such a feat.
Then there’s the novel he’s currently following. Setting aside the male protagonist’s views on emotions, the story is vivid and interesting, opening a new world for Lin Moxuan, who is used to reading classics. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Of course, the reason he keeps following it is that it was written by Shen Qiushan.
He wanted to see how long this "unreliable" son-in-law could persist, after all, writing is also a task that requires a lot of mental effort.
And what he saw was that Shen Qiushan could actually update five Chapters daily, with each Chapter exceeding three thousand words, totaling fifteen thousand words!
It’s simply unimaginable that he could write so many words of a novel while balancing his studies.
"Everyone’s here today."
"Old Shen is also here, let me say a few words..."
After sitting down, Lin Moxuan raised his glass and began with a familiar opening speech.
"Come on, everyone, give a round of applause!"
"I just love listening to the leaders speak; they have such insight."
Old Shen was a great sport, initiating the applause even before Lin Moxuan officially started his speech.
His actions made Lin Moxuan feel a bit embarrassed, so he shortened the content of his speech.
After Director Lin finished speaking, another round of applause filled the room, and the group started drinking and toasting.
This private room was equipped with a sound system, which could be used as a KTV.
When they had almost finished drinking, Old Shen insisted on singing and even started first.
He didn’t have much talent for singing, but he had the courage to sing, and although half of the lyrics were off-tune, the party atmosphere was pushed to another peak.
"In-law, I’m just paving the way for you, you’re the professional."
After returning to his seat, Old Shen said to Chen Qingzhu.
As a retired professional singer from a cultural troupe, Chen Qingzhu naturally was not afraid of such occasions. She immediately sang a folk song she was good at, which had a bit of a patriotic element.
As soon as the song started, it instantly gave people a sense of peace and prosperity.
Shen Qiushan had heard Chen Qingzhu sing before, but it was always on TV. In previous years, Chen Qingzhu often appeared on local gala shows, mostly in quartet or larger group performances, so it was hard to showcase her true strength.
Yet now, the KTV-grade sound system made Chen Qingzhu’s singing feel like a gala performance.
Shen Qiushan couldn’t help but marvel: there’s indeed a difference with professionals!
No wonder there’s always a saying online, don’t challenge someone’s profession with your hobby!
When the song ended.
The room was filled with enthusiastic applause.
This time the applause was not like the previous reluctant applause for Old Shen.
Earlier, everyone was just being polite, giving symbolic applause, while for Chen Qingzhu the applause was genuinely heartfelt.
A professional singer.
She sang really well!
However, a new problem arose. With a professional singer like Chen Qingzhu taking the stage, no one else dared to embarrass themselves.
Suddenly, Shen Qiushan remembered something. He turned to Lin Xiamo, sitting to his right, teasing with a smile: "Principal Lin, I seem to remember you were in a band during your school days!"
"Would you care to sing a song?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiamo rolled her eyes at Shen Qiushan: "That’s ancient history!"
Lin Xiamo was secretly still involved in a band, which her family didn’t know about. She also knew her father was strongly against her singing, so even in such an occasion, she had no intention of showing off.
"Let me sing a song then!"
"I certainly can’t compare to Aunt Chen, but I’m happy today, so let’s have some fun!"
Zheng Yi, slightly tipsy, stood up. Singing was a hobby of his, and he often liked to sing a few lines at home.
"Pipa, can you sing?"
While Zheng Yi was choosing a song, Shen Yanran asked Xu Pipa with a smile.
"No, I can’t."
Xu Pipa immediately shook her head. She indeed couldn’t sing; more accurately, she never really sang before.
Actually, before Shen Yanran spoke to her, Xu Pipa had been secretly admiring this kind of family atmosphere.
Although Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao didn’t have a mother, in Xu Pipa’s eyes, they were still lucky.
They have such a loving and responsible father.
As well as Chen Qingzhu, Old Shen, Lin Xiamo, Shen Dehua, and many other doting elders.
It could be said they grew up surrounded by family love. Though they lacked maternal love, they didn’t lack familial affection.
As for Xu Pipa, ever since her grandma passed away, she no longer had even the last bit of familial affection.
So at that moment, Xu Pipa really envied Shen Yanran and also wished to fit into such a harmonious and joyful family atmosphere.
