Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 177 - 131: Could It Be That Old Deng Is My Dad?! (Super Long - )
"No problem!"
"Then let’s switch!"
Shen Qiushan casually waved his hand. With his physical fitness, climbing to the upper bunk was as easy as playing.
Besides, Shen Qiushan also had an apartment in the staff dormitory, so he probably wouldn’t be spending much time in the student dorm.
Of course, these were minor details. The main thing for Shen Qiushan was not to have any conflicts in the dormitory on the first day of registration.
After all, at his age, getting into a university wasn’t easy, and he naturally hoped for some harmony in the dormitory.
Moreover, Bao Beibei’s mother seemed to be the type who doted on her child excessively—likely pampering Bao Beibei like a princess at home.
Simultaneously, she probably had a strong personality, doting on him while also managing all of Bao Beibei’s affairs.
As a result, Bao Beibei now wanted to make decisions but was powerless to do so. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Thank you, Old Shen!"
"Thank you so much!"
Upon seeing Shen Qiushan agree, the middle-aged woman was full of gratitude, her face beaming with smiles.
The two elderly folks with white hair also nodded at Shen Qiushan to express their thanks.
Clearly, this family pampered Bao Beibei excessively.
"Old Shen, let me help you tidy up the bed."
"By the way, I’m Wu Xuelian. Let’s add each other on WeChat later—we might need to trouble you for something in the future."
Wu Xuelian first tidied her son’s bed, then climbed up to the upper bunk, wiped the bedboard clean with a cloth, and proactively helped Shen Qiushan set up his bed.
"Thank you."
Shen Qiushan didn’t stop her. Even after a brief interaction, he could roughly tell Wu Xuelian’s personality.
All her thoughts were centered on her son, Bao Beibei. She did everything from her son’s perspective.
For instance, by proactively helping Shen Qiushan with the bed, she was not only repaying him for agreeing to switch beds but also trying to leave a good impression. After all, he shared a dormitory with Bao Beibei and was truly an adult, likely able to help if her son needed anything.
"Old Shen, have a smoke."
"I’m Beibei’s dad. This child has been spoiled rotten at home. You’re the elder; if Beibei does anything wrong, feel free to criticize him."
"Of course, in the meantime, please watch over him a bit more..."
Bao Beibei’s father handed over a cigarette; his words confirmed Shen Qiushan’s suspicions.
This chubby kid was pampered to the extreme at home!
"Old Shen, I’m heading out."
"Text me if you need anything."
Seeing that he had nothing more to do there, Pang Fei bid farewell, then left dormitory 618.
"Hold on, let’s go together!"
Shen Qiushan planned to find his second sister-in-law, Lin Xiamo, and then take a look around the staff dormitory.
The conditions in the student dorm were quite limited, although Sanjiang University was already considered decent, with four-person rooms and a bathroom.
But it was no match for the privacy of the staff dormitory, especially since Shen Qiushan had a ’secret cheat.’
So he really needed a place where he could ensure his privacy.
Dormitory Building 18.
Room 142.
Shen Yixiao had already tidied up his bed and wardrobe.
But aside from him, only one of the three roommates had arrived.
The other person was called Yu Bo, a tall and skinny guy with a head of small curly hair.
At the moment, Yu Bo’s parents had already left, and he furtively took out a pack of cigarettes from his suitcase, put one in his mouth, and offered one to Shen Yixiao: "Brother Xiao, want one?"
"I don’t smoke."
Shen Yixiao waved his hand.
"Then you’ll have to put up with secondhand smoke."
Yu Bo chuckled. Despite saying that, he sensibly went to the balcony to light his cigarette and took a satisfying puff: "Finally!"
"Dad and Mom are finally gone!"
"Uh..."
"Brother Bo, what you said could be misinterpreted!"
Shen Yixiao teased him.
"No worries, I don’t take offense at anything!"
Yu Bo blew out a smoke ring and said, "Have you heard?"
"The 38-year-old Old Deng who was really popular before actually goes to our school!"
"I just don’t know which department he’s in."
Shen Yixiao glanced at Yu Bo, a bit speechless, and said, "He’s in the School of Electronic Information!"
"Really!"
"That’s amazing!"
"A 38-year-old top scorer!"
Yu Bo marveled and then added, "However, going to university with a 38-year-old guy is quite a surreal experience."
"I heard that his son and daughter also got into our school. Brother Xiao, how do you think it would feel to go to university with your dad?"
Yu Bo wondered casually as he blew smoke rings, enjoying himself.
Shen Yixiao sighed: "It feels like having GPS on you; you have to be careful with everything you do, afraid your dad will catch you out."
"Uh?"
"Brother Xiao, you seem to know a lot about it!"
Yu Bo looked at Shen Yixiao with some confusion.
"Is there a possibility..."
"I’m actually the son of that 38-year-old Old Deng you were talking about!"
Shen Yixiao shrugged; he wasn’t mad at Yu Bo.
Though his roommate referred to his dad as "Old Deng," Shen Yixiao knew it wasn’t out of contempt; he was just gossiping like everyone else.
Just like the other 60,000 or so students at their university.
By now, who knew how many students were also talking about his dad!
Among the guys, they were likely referring to him as "that Old Deng."
No way around it, since Shen Qiushan was old enough to be their father!
"What the heck!!"
"Really?"
Yu Bo was shocked, his face full of disbelief as he looked at Shen Yixiao, mumbling, "Shen Yixiao, surname Shen!"
"Yes..."
"Brother Xiao, I didn’t know he was your dad."
"Sorry, my language was a bit rough earlier."
Shen Yixiao shook his head, sighing, "If he weren’t my dad, I’d probably be gossiping just like you."
"Brother Xiao, not to flatter you."
"Our dad is truly incredible!"
"Scoring top marks at 38 years old—compared to that, I’m pretty useless!"
Yu Bo genuinely admired.
While they were talking, a well-built, muscular man who looked about 30 years old walked into the dormitory.
"Hey, little brothers, how’s it going!"
"My name’s Pu Jeongjae. I wonder if you’ve ever seen my competitions?"
The muscular man introduced himself while throwing out a question.
Shen Yixiao and Yu Bo glanced at each other, a bit puzzled.
Seen his competitions?
It sounded like this guy was an athlete!
And he must have competed in something pretty well-known, or else he wouldn’t proactively ask such a question.
"Whoa!"
"Are you that Olympic champion, Pu Jeongjae?"
After being dazed for a moment, Yu Bo was the first to react.
"Looks like someone has seen my competitions!"
"That’s right, it’s me."
Pu Jeongjae laughed heartily.
He was once an Olympic weightlifting champion, but when he participated in the Olympics, Shen Yixiao was still in elementary school, so he had no impression of him.
Yu Bo, on the other hand, had some recollection, remembering that Pu Jeongjae made a comeback to win due to his lighter weight, which was quite a legendary story.
Unexpectedly, the Olympic champion turned out to be their roommate!
