Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 32: Vice Principal Lin Xiamo
Shen Yanran!
For goodness’ sake, be a decent person!!
Shen Yixiao first gave his sister a fierce glare, then ranted furiously in his mind.
Meanwhile, Shen Yanran, who had successfully diverted attention, gently blew on the lamb she had just picked up, dipped it in sesame sauce, and happily chewed it.
After hearing about her nephew Shen Yixiao’s scores, Lin Xiamo went from frowning to having her "eyebrows knotted"!
Last year, the minimum score for cultural courses for sports undergraduates in Sanjiang Province was 405 points.
Shen Yixiao only scored 385 points, which is still 20 points short of the cutoff, and that’s with a relatively simple mock exam. If it were the real "battlefield," his chances of getting into university would depend on luck.
For students like Shen Yixiao with scores in this range, luck often plays a significant role in their total score. With good luck, it’s quite possible to score thirty or forty points more.
"Xiaoxiao, you’ll be 18 next month, a true adult, and you should understand how to take responsibility for your own future!"
"I don’t want to say anything unnecessary. I hope you make good use of the next three months and don’t leave any regrets for yourself!"
Lin Xiamo advised in a serious tone, clearly genuinely anxious for her nephew.
As she spoke, she discreetly glanced at Luo Yao.
Obviously, in Lin Xiamo’s view, this girl was also a major factor in her nephew Shen Yixiao’s poor performance.
"Auntie, don’t worry, I’m already working hard!"
Shen Yixiao quickly expressed his stance.
Lin Xiamo nodded slightly, then turned to Shen Yanran to advise, "Yanran, you also need to work hard. Your current scores are very risky."
"Mm-hmm."
"Auntie, I’m working super hard!"
Shen Yanran nodded repeatedly.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yixiao let out a disdainful "tch."
This was also his way of retaliating against Shen Yanran for dragging him into the line of fire earlier.
"Shen Yixiao!"
"The meat isn’t enough to shut your mouth, huh!"
Shen Yanran immediately glared at her brother.
Under the suppression of his sister’s glare, Shen Yixiao remained silent and quietly continued eating.
The meal ended.
When Shen Qiushan went to settle the bill, he found that Lin Xiamo had already paid.
He glanced at the bill handed to him by the cashier. The meal had cost 337 yuan.
In fact, the average cost per person at this hotpot restaurant was around 40 or 50 yuan. They spent a bit more mainly because they ordered more meat.
Seeing Shen Qiushan holding the bill and not leaving, the female cashier proactively said, "Sir, if you don’t need an invoice, we can give you two bottles of Sprite on the house."
Obviously, the female cashier misunderstood, thinking Shen Qiushan wanted to request drinks under the guise of needing an invoice.
"Uh, can I trade two bottles of Sprite for one can of Red Bull?"
Shen Qiushan, who was just looking at the bill, blinked in surprise, then pointed to a row of Red Bull cans behind the counter.
"Sure."
The female cashier readily handed him a can of Red Bull.
At this moment, Lin Xiamo was leading the three kids toward the door. Seeing Shen Qiushan take a can of Red Bull from the cashier, she instinctively shook her head.
Lin Xiamo, who came from a well-off family, would never take advantage of such small gains!
Indeed, to Lin Xiamo, this was taking advantage!
But in some people’s eyes, this isn’t taking advantage, but rather something expected.
If the shopkeepers evade taxes, what’s wrong with giving me a bottle of water?
On this matter, there’s no right or wrong, just different values shaped by different upbringings and perspectives.
"Thank Auntie for treating you all to hotpot!"
Outside the hotpot restaurant, Shen Qiushan nudged the three kids with his mouth.
"Hehe, thank you, Auntie."
"Auntie is so generous!"
Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao quickly expressed their gratitude, and Luo Yao also sweetly chimed in with a "Thank you, Auntie."
Lin Xiamo nonchalantly waved her hand and then looked at Shen Qiushan, saying, "Let’s have a private chat."
"Sure!"
Shen Qiushan could roughly guess what this "aunt" wanted to discuss, but since she’d brought it up, he couldn’t refuse to talk.
"You three head back to school first!"
Shen Qiushan waved at the three kids, then handed the can of Red Bull to Luo Yao, "Give this to Zhou Yu, tell him it’s from me!"
Previously, Zhou Yu had given Shen Qiushan a can of Red Bull to curry favor. He didn’t want to owe that chubby kid, even if it was just a can of Red Bull, so this was the perfect chance to settle it.
"Uh, okay."
Although Luo Yao felt a bit puzzled, she still nodded.
"Let’s walk toward the school too."
Once the three kids had walked some distance, Lin Xiamo said.
"I’m fine with that."
Shen Qiushan shrugged indifferently.
"Is that Luo Yao Xiaoxiao’s girlfriend?"
Lin Xiamo asked, watching the distant backs of the three kids.
"Yes, she is."
Shen Qiushan nodded and explained, "Actually, it was only yesterday that I found out when Xiaoxiao’s homeroom teacher approached me!"
"And this is how you handled it?"
"Xiaoxiao has only three months until the college entrance exam!"
Lin Xiamo’s tone turned icy, with a hint of questioning.
"It’s because he only has three months until the exam that I don’t want this to affect Xiaoxiao’s mood!"
"If I interfere, it’ll only lead to defiance and be counterproductive!" Shen Qiushan gave his reasoning.
"Heh, indeed!"
After a moment of silence, Lin Xiamo suddenly sneered, "That’s just like how my sister was, so you understand better."
Shen Qiushan didn’t respond because what Lin Xiamo said was true.
Back when he and Lin Chuxue were together, it was the classic "bad boy steals the rich, beautiful girl" story!
Lin Chuxue was a student at Sanjiang University.
Shen Qiushan worked as a network administrator at an internet café near Sanjiang University.
The two met at the internet café when Lin Chuxue went there to surf the web, and some thugs approached her because of her beauty.
Shen Qiushan played the hero and drove away the thugs.
After a while, they started dating.
Later, when Lin Chuxue’s father found out about their relationship, Mr. Lin naturally opposed it strongly!
Sanjiang University is the top-ranked university in Sanjiang Province and very well-known nationwide.
His daughter was an outstanding student there, beautiful and talented, with unlimited potential. How could she date someone like Shen Qiushan, who was labeled as a "delinquent teenager"?
But the more he opposed, the more determined Lin Chuxue was.
So much so that Mr. Lin’s strong opposition only served as a catalyst for their relationship. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
In the end, still in school, Lin Chuxue got pregnant.
The child could have been aborted, but in a fit of defiance against her father, Lin Chuxue simply left school to "elope" with Shen Qiushan...
This story, though cliché, does happen occasionally in real life.
The reason is that rich girls are often so well protected, with pure and kind hearts, firmly believing in love.
These conditions combined have led to a phrase describing them today: love-struck!
Based on his past with the late Lin Chuxue, when Lin Xiamo said Shen Qiushan understood better, he couldn’t refute it.
During countless sleepless nights, Shen Qiushan had seriously pondered if Lin Chuxue hadn’t passed away from complications during childbirth.
Perhaps they wouldn’t have lasted long, after all, Lin Chuxue indeed "married down" by choosing him.
When the passion fades and it’s just everyday life.
This prodigious girl might not have been content with ordinary life...
Of course, that’s just Shen Qiushan’s speculation.
"For the next three months, I’ll keep an eye on the two of them for you!"
Lin Xiamo suddenly said.
"Uh?"
"What do you mean?"
Shen Qiushan looked at this "aunt" in confusion.
"I’m being transferred to Yanran and Xiaoxiao’s school as the vice principal!"
"So, I’ll keep an eye on them for you!"
Lin Xiamo gazed into the distance, her eyes on the three figures slowly disappearing into the setting sun.
