Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 69 - 63: Mock Exam

Monday.

There are 69 days left until the college entrance exam.

The third mock exam for the third year of high school starts at seven in the morning.

Students from all twelve classes are reshuffled and assigned to different exam rooms.

However, this reshuffling is limited to within the "liberal arts classes" and "science classes."

Sanjiang High School’s third year has a total of twelve classes, with seven science classes and five liberal arts classes.

The first class of the third year, also known as the "Celestial Pride Class," is actually a science class, admitting only science students.

And the trend of "favoring science over liberal arts" is already a common phenomenon in high schools nationwide.

The reasons for this phenomenon are many, but mainly due to employment issues.

Science and engineering majors are usually related to fields like computers, technology, and engineering, which offer high salaries, greater development space, and more job opportunities after graduating from college.

As for the Shen Family, they probably don’t have much of a science gene; both Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao aren’t very good at "physics, chemistry, and biology," so the siblings both chose liberal arts.

Shen Qiushan only realized it when he sat in the exam room; since he also chose liberal arts, even if he gets first place in the liberal arts paper in this mock exam, he can only beat about 300 people.

Because there are five liberal arts classes in the third year, with an average of 60 people per class, making 300 people in total.

Moreover, Shen Qiushan currently doesn’t have the strength to take first place in liberal arts.

It seems that to make a lot of money at once, he still has to rely on the college entrance exam.

He just doesn’t know if the scale of the college entrance exam will be calculated like the usual exams.

Students from the five liberal arts classes were randomly assigned to ten different exam rooms.

Shen Qiushan was assigned to the ninth exam room, and coincidentally, his daughter Shen Yanran was also assigned to this exam room.

It’s just that the father and daughter were quite far apart; Shen Qiushan’s seat was in the last row, while Shen Yanran was in the second row.

There were also two familiar faces in this exam room: one was Wang Yunpeng, and the other was Zhou Yu, who openly pursued his daughter.

The chubby guy with his hair combed like an adult was sitting just to Shen Qiushan’s left.

"Uncle Shen, I heard you’re going to compare mock exam scores with the sports students again. My math and Chinese scores are decent; do you want to consult me?"

Before the exam started, Zhou Yu quietly said to Shen Qiushan.

Obviously, he was still trying to please this future "father-in-law."

"No need."

Shen Qiushan waved his hand casually.

"Hehe, I knew Uncle Shen wouldn’t stoop to these little tricks."

Zhou Yu gave an awkward smile, then lowered his voice again and said, "Uncle Shen, I heard Yanran’s mother passed away a long time ago, and you’ve been single all along."

"I have an aunt who is quite good in all aspects, would you like to meet her?"

Zhou Yu had been thinking of appealing to Shen Qiushan through women for a long time to win over this future father-in-law, but he hadn’t had the opportunity before.

Now that they were assigned to the same exam room, it was simply a godsend.

Although Zhou Yu felt that bringing this up now was a bit abrupt, he thought as long as Shen Qiushan was interested, the timing wouldn’t matter.

And hearing what the chubby boy said, Shen Qiushan was speechless for a moment: "You mean to introduce a girlfriend to me?"

"Mmm!"

Zhou Yu quickly nodded and, imitating the tone of a matchmaker on TV, advised, "Uncle Shen, you see, Yanran is about to go to college, so your task is more than half completed."

"You need to consider yourself a bit in the future, right?"

Shen Qiushan was amused by the chubby boy and thought, this kid really could come up with anything to court my daughter.

He’s even thinking of using a beauty to charm me, his "future father-in-law"!

"So tell me, what are her conditions?"

At this moment, as the exam invigilators hadn’t arrived yet, Shen Qiushan had nothing better to do, so he casually chatted a bit with the chubby boy.

Seeing that Shen Qiushan was indeed interested, Zhou Yu perked up and said mysteriously, "Uncle, my aunt is divorced and has been for many years; she has a child, but the child is not with her."

"Of course, that’s all secondary; the important thing is she’s a really good person, quite knowledgeable, and she’s a teacher!"

"What about her looks?"

Shen Qiushan asked with interest.

"Very classy."

"Elegantly dignified!"

"The type of beautiful woman who grows on you over time," Zhou Yu said with a serious face.

Shen Qiushan just rolled his eyes slightly; this chubby kid certainly knew how to chat. If it weren’t for his own rich life experience, he might have been fooled.

Classy, elegant, beautiful over time, these were all embellishments for someone whose appearance doesn’t pass muster.

Not to mention, let’s talk about Lin Xiamo, the second sister-in-law.

When others describe her, the first words out of their mouths wouldn’t be classy, beautiful over time, etc.

"Uncle has a tall standard, doesn’t like ugly ones."

Shen Qiushan replied with a chuckle.

"Uh..."

Realizing he’d been caught in a verbal trap, Zhou Yu scratched the back of his head and said with a bitter face, "Teacher Zhang is not really ugly?"

"Teacher Zhang?"

"Your homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhang?"

Shen Qiushan was directly speechless and gave the chubby boy Zhou Yu a fierce glare, thinking crazily in his mind: Do you even know how to use the beauty trap?

A beauty trap requires a beauty in the first place!

Teacher Zhang?

You actually came up with that!!

Just as Shen Qiushan was silently grumbling to himself, two invigilators entered the exam room, and one of them was Zhou Yu and Shen Yanran’s homeroom teacher, Zhang Xia.

She looked about forty-two or forty-three years old, with a round face, a pair of brown-framed glasses perched on her nose, not very tall, around 160 cm, but weighing probably around 140 pounds.

Once more, Shen Qiushan glared angrily at the chubby boy Zhou Yu, muttering inwardly: You call this classy, elegant, beautiful over time?

Zhou Yu dared not make eye contact with his "future father-in-law," instead silently reviewing: From Uncle Shen’s reaction, introducing a girlfriend to him seems to be the right approach.

But the choice of person was wrong!

Uncle Shen doesn’t like Teacher Zhang’s type.

Hmm, maybe Teacher Chen from Class Five is more his type?

Or perhaps Teacher Fang, who teaches music in the second year...

At this moment, Zhang Xia and the other invigilator distributed the papers.

The first subject was math.

The time allotted was 120 minutes.

Recently, Shen Qiushan dedicates two to three hours every day to practicing math exercises and papers, and his mind has accumulated a vast math problem bank.

Therefore, he found it much easier to answer the questions compared to other students, especially since he had gone through some of the problems repeatedly; he knew the answers halfway through reading them.

While answering questions, Zhou Yu kept observing his future father-in-law Shen Qiushan, mainly out of curiosity about whether this father-in-law, at such an age, could still solve math problems.

Math is not like English, where you can score well by diligently memorizing vocabulary and grammar.

To do well in math, you need solid basic skills, strong problem-solving abilities, and logical thinking!

At Shen Qiushan’s age, these are usually weak points.

Rustle~

While Zhou Yu had only just finished half of the front page of his paper, he heard the sound of Shen Qiushan turning his paper.

Uh?

Finished?

Finished the front page already?

Zhou Yu turned his head in disbelief to look at Shen Qiushan, only to find that his father-in-law hadn’t paid him any attention and was mindlessly working on the latter half of the paper.
