Urban Shen Lang (Complete) - Chapter 19

Chapter 154 When Shen
Lang entered Ji Xiyan's room, the girl had already woken up. However, thinking about what happened last night, she felt somewhat bewildered, a feeling of both embarrassment and helplessness. ^^ In fact, although Ji Xiyan's initiative last night was influenced by Shen Lang's mysterious flower petals, it was ultimately based on her affection for him. Otherwise, even if the petals were incredibly powerful, they would have been ineffective.
At the time, Ji Xiyan was at least half-conscious. She clearly remembered every detail of what happened last night, except for the moment she fainted because she couldn't resist Shen Lang's violence.
At the time, Ji Xiyan didn't feel anything special afterward, perhaps because she was overwhelmed by happiness and pleasure, and still had the energy for flirting. But now, that shy yet sweet feeling was growing stronger, and Ji Xiyan almost didn't know how to face Shen Lang. She thought to herself that she must have been driven by lust... uh, no, that's a way of describing men, anyway, that's the gist of it, otherwise why would she have been so proactive and so crazy?
One unbelievable act led to a series of unbelievable events, like dominoes, a subtle chemical reaction began to brew in Ji Xiyan's heart. After doing that kind of thing... shouldn't things be different from before?
Should she still bicker and argue without restraint like before, or change her style and become a docile and obedient kitten?
Should she continue to call him Junior Brother, Senior Brother, or Brother Lang, or should she change to calling him Husband like Sister Xi?
She was only 16 years old, wasn't it strange to suddenly have a husband?
Or was she already a young married woman?
Good heavens, so young and already a married woman! Thank goodness she's not religious, otherwise the cult leader wouldn't forgive her! ...
A thousand thoughts churned in Ji Xiyan's mind. She was completely lost, increasingly confused and panicked. Suddenly, she remembered what Shen Lang had said: the most precious thing about a person is their nature or personality. The most important thing is to continue being yourself. The reason I like you is because I like you as you are, not to make you change so I can like you back. Thinking of this, Ji Xiyan finally felt a little better, but she was still a little shy. Although her face was flushed, she was determined to pretend to be asleep, to carry out this great work of self-deception to the end!
Shen Lang, of course, knew Ji Xiyan was pretending to be asleep. Not only was her face flushed, but even her eyelashes were trembling. If he still couldn't tell, Shen Lang might as well go find a block of tofu in the refrigerator and bang his head against it.
However, Shen Lang didn't expose her. He used the same trick again, leaning down and kissing Ji Xiyan's still slightly swollen lips deeply, gently nibbling and savoring them as if they were the most exquisite delicacy in the world. Ji Xiyan was still gritting her teeth and resisting, refusing to "wake up," but her increasingly rapid breathing had completely betrayed her.
Shen Lang found it amusing. This girl usually seemed quite unrestrained, but why had she become so tender now?
Could it be that becoming a woman from a girl would drastically change their personality?
This was something Shen Lang didn't want to see. A person's personality is the most precious thing; a person who loses their personality loses themselves.
Or perhaps it was because she was too young, because Rong Danru and Xi Chenyue hadn't shown any obvious changes before and after being "eaten."
With a wicked smile, Shen Lang's hand slipped under the blanket, caressing Ji Xiyan's naked body, and began to knead it forcefully.
Attacked, Ji Xiyan could no longer pretend to be asleep and screamed, "You big pervert, get lost!"
Shen Lang laughed, "Awake? So this is the only way to wake my little Yan Yan? You'll have some experience now; if you can't wake her up, just use this method." Ji Xiyan grabbed Shen Lang's large, wandering hand and scolded, "Don't use it! Absolutely not!"
Shen Lang deliberately pretended to be troubled, "What will I do if you don't wake up?"
Ji Xiyan retorted unreasonably, "If I don't wake up, then let me continue sleeping! Anyway, I don't need to use it. You big bad guy, from now on I won't call you Senior Brother, nor Brother Lang, I'll just call you Big Bad Guy."
Shen Lang said aggrievedly, "Girl, you're repaying kindness with enmity!"
Ji Xiyan didn't understand Shen Lang's words and said, "What do you mean? I didn't." "
Shen Lang said, "Yesterday when we were doing those things we like, I accidentally modified your body a little." Ji Xiyan's face was full of confusion: "I don't understand."
Shen Lang took a mirror and handed it to Ji Xiyan, saying, "Take a look!"
Ji Xiyan was so surprised at first glance that she couldn't even speak properly: "This...how...isn't right, I think...I'm not this pretty, am I?"
Shen Lang continued, "Feel your body now, isn't it much stronger?"
Ji Xiyan didn't understand, but she still listened to Shen Lang's words, clenched her fist and slammed it hard against the bedside table. To Ji Xiyan's astonishment, after a loud bang, the wooden bedside table shattered into pieces, and flying wood chips filled half the room, as if it had been subjected to an explosion.
Looking at her own hands, still smooth and soft, without a single scratch, Ji Xiyan stared blankly for a long time before murmuring, "What...what happened?"
Shen Lang said, "Have you read martial arts novels? Just think of it as the legendary dual cultivation technique. Do what we did last night a few more times, and you can become a female knight-errant!"
Ji Xiyan was stunned for a long time before finally letting out a cheer, casting aside the excessive shyness and reserve that shouldn't have been hers, and rushed over to hug Shen Lang tightly: "Really? Is it the kind of female knight-errant who can fight bad guys? Can you..." "Flying over rooftops and scaling walls? Can you walk on water with your iron palm? Can you strike an ox across a mountain? Can you go to Mount Hua to compete in swordsmanship…"
Shen Lang pressed down on Ji Xiyan's mouth, which was like a machine gun, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you can do all of those! But what you need to do now is get up and start training. Practicing martial arts is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. Now you are in a crucial period of foundation building, so you must work hard!"
Ji Xiyan finally disregarded everything and obediently got up. Ignoring Shen Lang's scornful gaze, she quickly put on her clothes and dashed out in a flash. Her movements were fluid and her speed was astonishing. Shen Lang shook his head and smiled bitterly. The power of a female knight-errant is immense! It turns out that in this world, it's not just men who have their own martial arts dreams; women do too! Or perhaps, it's just a combination of curiosity and novelty, not a real desire to become a great hero of Jiangnan or the leader of the martial arts alliance. …
Just as Shen Lang had imagined, Daisy wasn't in the room; she was probably out interviewing early in the morning again.
These past few days, Daisy has been interviewing hardworking city dwellers who get up early and return late, such as vegetable vendors, breakfast stall owners, and street food vendors. These uniquely Chinese professions and business practices have greatly surprised Daisy, leading to a frenzy of interviews.
In fact, Daisy goes into a frenzy every time she discovers a person or phenomenon she's never seen before. She's a woman who's absolutely crazy from head to toe, with love and work being her obsessions. Shen Lang shook his head. "This foreign woman, you need to take it easy. Don't overwork yourself. After all, you're already Old Shen's wife. You need to have a serious talk with her when you get back. Health is the foundation of everything," he thought. "She definitely hasn't heard that saying in England."...
Shen Lang felt like a stay-at-home dad, cooking first, then waking up the women one by one. This was too... He wondered if people would look down on him. But Shen Lang didn't care. Those who looked down on him were definitely jealous, insanely jealous. "Why don't you try waking up a few women and making them eat?"
Shen Lang finally arrived at Hu Luoluo's room (which was also Shen Lang's own room, where Hu Luoluo had slept the night before). The girl was still snuggled up in her blankets, sleeping soundly, seemingly having a sweet dream. Shen Lang could understand; Hu Luoluo was currently in the deepest sleep. Her body hadn't undergone any modifications, and she had spent most of the night exchanging saliva with Shen Lang, so it was no wonder she was sleepy.
However, Shen Lang clearly had no intention of letting her go and decided to drag her into cultivation.
Shen Lang was thinking that since his master hadn't said this technique couldn't be passed on, could he expand its scope to include all his wives, and perhaps even Lin Yan and Li Yiyang?
Especially Li Yiyang and Lin Yan. Li Yiyang was involved in the underworld; if he acquired superior skills, at least his life wouldn't be in danger. As for Lin Yan, he was responsible for the arduous task of researching the new seed. If he cultivated to a certain level, it would be a significant help in protecting the research results, because this new species was a treasure to countries around the world, and once word got out, it would definitely attract a lot of attention. ...
Shen Lang breathed softly into Hu Luoluo's ear and said, "Little girl, wake up!"
Hu Luoluo's ear tickled, and she quickly woke up, pouting, "Brother, let me sleep a little longer!"
Shen Lang said, "Early to bed and early to rise makes you energetic, hurry up and get up!"
Hu Luoluo: "No, I'm so sleepy!"
Shen Lang said, "What will it take for you to get up?"
Hu Luoluo didn't open her eyes, and smiled, "After the exam, brother, you have to spend more time with me, otherwise I won't get up!"
Shen Lang agreed very readily: "Okay, tell me, how will you spend time with me? Drink with me, chat with me, or sleep with me?"
Hu Luoluo's pretty face flushed, and she scolded, "Brother, you're so naughty, all you ever think about is that kind of thing." Shen Lang said, "Luoluo is so beautiful, what else would I think about if not that kind of thing? Looking at my little Luoluo, I can't help but want to... hehe."
Hu Luoluo turned her face away shyly and said, "Brother said... only after the acceptance letter arrives..."
Shen Lang said, "Hehe, under your brother's..." With great cheating ability, isn’t it easy to catch it?
Hu Luoluo said: "Brother, I really want to have abilities like you!"
Shen Lang said: "You also want to have super powers?"
Hu Luoluo said firmly: "I wonder if it will be difficult?"
Shen Lang said: "It's actually very simple. I just need to help you transform your body."
Hu Luoluo was overjoyed when he heard this and said eagerly: "How to reform it?"
Shen Lang chuckled evilly and said, "Currently I only know one way, which is to do what you love to do." "
Hu Luoluo said "Ah", and suddenly remembered something, and shouted loudly: "Brother is good or bad, it turns out that my brother is only thinking about such shameful things, hum! No wonder you have so many girlfriends, oh, I see, you didn’t just use this method to deceive so many sisters, right? Sister Rong, Sister Xi, Sister Tian, and even many sisters I may not know! "
Shen Lang collapsed a little when he heard this and rolled his eyes. Where is this going? My old Shen is sincere for sincerity. We all love each other sincerely. Who lied? What are you thinking in Xiaoya's mind? His good intentions were so cruelly misrepresented; it hurts so much!

Chapter 155: Let Go and Do It.
Hu Luoluo's question troubled Shen Lang greatly. Did Hu Luoluo really think he was using martial arts training as a seduction to get intimate with her?
This was a misunderstanding that left Shen Lang speechless. Not explaining was tantamount to admitting it, while explaining was tantamount to covering it up. ^^ Experienced people know that being misunderstood by a woman only takes a second, but getting her out of that misunderstanding takes n seconds, where n is less than and close to infinity. The exact time depends on your skill.
Shen Lang considered his skills to be decent. He spent about 900 seconds trying to get Hu Luoluo out of her misunderstanding. When he felt he had succeeded, he finally stopped this verbal marathon. By then, he was parched and covered in sweat.
Hu Luoluo blinked her large, seemingly expressive eyes at Shen Lang, who had been talking for 15 minutes straight, and said admiringly, "Brother, you're amazing! You talked for so long without repeating a single sentence. If our country ever had elections, I'd definitely encourage you to become a provincial governor or chairman. But, what I want to ask now is, are you finished?"
Shen Lang sighed inwardly. This was fucking tiring, much more tiring than making love. Making love was mostly physical; men usually didn't make a sound. But now, he not only had to talk, but also gesture wildly, afraid of not explaining things clearly enough—more detailed than explaining a text to elementary school students.
Shen Lang nodded heavily, indicating he was finished.
Hu Luoluo said lightly, "Why are you so nervous? I was just joking with you. I absolutely trust you, brother! Didn't you realize it was such an obvious joke? Or maybe I just don't have the talent for joking?"
What? Joking? Shen Lang nearly collapsed upon hearing this. "A joke like that? It's such a waste of my pure saliva! That much saliva could easily last for over 30 minutes of wet kissing!" After all that fruitless effort, Shen Lang felt genuinely tired and said listlessly, "Get up quickly, I'm going out."
Hu Luoluo watched Shen Lang's dejected figure, feeling a little confused. "My brother's acting so strange today. He's a bit sensitive, and a little guilty. He didn't even realize it was a joke." ...
The three women and one man finally gathered at the dinner table, all sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off. The air was thick with tension, almost stagnant, making it feel like they had cotton wrapped around their heads—not suffocating, but difficult to breathe. The
usually boisterous Ji Xiyan was unusually quiet today, not uttering a single word, and even when she did speak, it was in a soft, whispered voice. What's even more surprising is that this miniskirt queen has surprisingly worn a princess dress today, and has even boldly let her long, black hair down, tied in the middle with a delicate scarlet ribbon. She truly looks like a quiet and sweet little princess.
This unprecedented outfit left Xi Chenyue and Hu Luoluo speechless, and even Shen Lang almost burst out laughing. The style change was too sudden and hard to get used to.
Moreover, Ji Xiyan's expression was also strange. She kept glancing at Shen Lang, seemingly trying to find some evaluation or encouragement from his expression.
The reason everyone found Ji Xiyan strange was simply because they were used to her usual domineering and fiery personality. Now, seeing her acting quiet and sweet, aside from being a little uncomfortable, everyone had to admit that her expression and attire were now more in line with her face and temperament. Her face, which was already bright as if it had just been pulled out of the sun, now had an extra touch of spring in her eyes, making her look radiant and charming. Xi Chenyue, being an experienced woman, couldn't help but show a suspicious look. She vaguely sensed a certain allure in the girl, not for any other reason than a gut feeling. That
's the terrifying thing about a woman's intuition—it's so accurate.
Xi Chenyue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be…? No way, this girl is only a little over 16! Could Shen Lang really have…?
Thinking this, Xi Chenyue couldn't help but look at Shen Lang's face, hoping to find the answer there.
Unfortunately, Shen Lang remained outwardly calm and composed, like an old monk eating, his movements rigid and expressionless. However, Xi Chenyue already knew the answer she wanted. After all, she was a university lecturer who had taught "Criminal Psychology." The more normal and innocent Shen Lang's expression, the more suspicious he became.
But since neither of them would say anything, Xi Chenyue wouldn't be foolish enough to rashly point it out, though questioning Shen Lang afterward was inevitable.
But how could Hu Luoluo understand these things? She subconsciously sensed that something was off about Ji Xiyan, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yan, are you alright? There's something strange about you."
Ji Xiyan was currently in a state of confusion, wanting to change herself but unsure where to begin. Although Shen Lang had said he liked her previous look, she feared it was just polite talk. Her current outfit was largely a test of Shen Lang's reaction. If he liked it, she would evolve towards that style; if not, she could "stay true to herself" later. In fact, Ji Xiyan was somewhat resistant to her current style. If Shen Lang showed even the slightest displeasure or dislike, she would rush back upstairs to change within ten seconds. The problem was, Shen Lang remained expressionless. Ji Xiyan felt uneasy and didn't know what to do. She ate her meal listlessly, as if chewing wax.
Hearing Hu Luoluo's question, Ji Xiyan feigned ignorance, asking, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Hu Luoluo replied, "No, there's nothing on your face, but it feels like there's something there."
Shen Lang and Xi Chenyue both understood each other implicitly. Shen Lang was certain that Xi Chenyue had noticed Xi Chenyue's actions and expressions earlier, but hadn't said anything to save face for Ji Xiyan. Now, Hu Luoluo was asking a question without understanding, while Ji Xiyan was pretending to be clueless. One was asking unintentionally, the other was intentionally feigning ignorance; the two seemed to be performing a play together seamlessly. Shen Lang and Xi Chenyue found it amusing, but dared not laugh out loud, struggling to hold back.
They exchanged a glance, and Xi Chenyue gave Shen Lang a "you just wait and see" look, leaving Shen Lang with no choice but to accept it.
What could he say now? He felt guilty, as if he had done something shameful. After all, it was a minor accident, but fortunately, Ji Xiyan had accepted it readily, or rather, gladly; otherwise, Shen Lang would have been in a real predicament.
The two girls' drama continued—Ji Xiyan feigned composure: "What is it?"
As she spoke, the little girl touched her face guiltily, her expression completely innocent—a performance worthy of an Oscar. The acting was spot-on only relative to Hu Luoluo; to Xi Chenyue, who had already seen through the truth, it was full of flaws.
Hu Luoluo said, somewhat confused, "As for what it is, I can't really say, but one thing is certain: you've become more beautiful, so obviously, really. Did you use some super cosmetics?"
Ji Xiyan felt relieved and smiled happily, "Really?"
At this moment, Xi Chenyue found it even more amusing. It wasn't just becoming more beautiful; it was clearly the radiance of being in love.
However, Xi Chenyue had to admit that Hu Luoluo was quite capable; as expected of a policewoman who had studied at a criminal investigation university for more than half a year, her observational skills were quite good.
Hu Luoluo seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "Could it be... Xiao Yan, are you... in a relationship?"
Ji Xiyan was startled by Hu Luoluo's words, like a mouse caught by the tail by a cat, almost jumping off her chair. She hurriedly denied it, "No, no, how could that be? We've been together these past few days, how could I have time to meet handsome guys, right? Besides, with my naturally beautiful legs, I should at least find the best of the best, the most eligible bachelor, right? How could I possibly sell myself off so early? My value hasn't been fully realized yet!"
Ji Xiyan was a little afraid that Hu Luoluo would find out the truth. This girl was actually her rival in love, and she couldn't let her know, both publicly and privately. Ji Xiyan liked seeing her kept in the dark. Xi Chenyue laughed until her stomach hurt. She was trying her best to hold back tears, thinking to herself, "Hu Luoluo only said one sentence, but she explained so much all at once. It's just like trying to hide something obvious." It's a pity that Luo Luo is too naive; she couldn't see through it.
Hu Luo Luo was confused again, saying, "Wait a minute, I read somewhere that once a girl falls in love, her face becomes more beautiful because of the nourishment of love, but it might also bring a drastic change in personality, a drop in IQ, and doing many illogical and unusual things. Look at you, you fit all three descriptions! And you still won't admit it?"
Although Hu Luo Luo's words were unintentional, they sounded strange to Ji Xiyan. It seemed like she was being accused of having a lower IQ, but she couldn't deny it, which was a terrible feeling. She weakly explained, "No, I'm preparing for exams. Yesterday I saw online that you can do things you haven't done before to relieve stress, so I did it!"
After saying this, Ji Xiyan felt her reason was quite good and looked rather smug.
Xi Chenyue pursed her lips, thinking, "Things you haven't done before... well, that's sex. It's not exactly lying." Shen Lang glanced at her, and his expression changed slightly; he seemed to be sweating profusely.
Shen Lang looked into Xi Chenyue's eyes; they were already of one mind, and he understood the meaning in her gaze. He felt a little helpless and subtly wiped away his sweat.
Hu Luoluo still hadn't completely let go of her doubts and asked, "Really?"
Ji Xiyan continued to cover up her lie without even blinking: "That article online said that if you're going to do something, do it thoroughly! Do it boldly and freely! Try doing things you haven't done before, things you dare not do, things you can't do, things you don't want to do, things you don't like to do, things you haven't had the chance to do. Look, I usually hate these princess dresses the most. If my mom hadn't forced them into my suitcase, I wouldn't even bother to look at them. But for the college entrance exam, I'm going all out! Doing things is healthier, right? Hahahaha!"
"Pfft—"
Xi Chenyue couldn't hold back any longer and spat out the porridge in her mouth, coincidentally spraying it right onto Shen Lang's face…

Chapter 156 Pre-Exam Interlude
June 7th, the annual college entrance exam finally began. It's 8:00 AM, an hour before the exam starts and half an hour before entering the exam hall. The area outside is already packed with students, teachers, and parents.
People's expressions vary: some are nervous, some are confident, some are impatient, and some are even praying – a true portrait of life.
Older student Shen Lang and two younger students, Ji Xiyan and Hu Luoluo, are being seen off by their tutor, Xi Chenyue, at the exam hall gate, undergoing a farewell ceremony that feels like a final goodbye. Shen Lang is somewhat overwhelmed. Before leaving, he had already received heartfelt blessings from several people: Rong Danru, Lin Yu, Zhao Siyan, Yi Xueman, Zuo Qiuyan, the three Tian sisters, Xia Youran, Lin Yan, Li Yiyang, and Zhao Ziyang. Shen Lang's phone had been ringing non-stop since 6:00 AM, more like a hotline than a dial-in. Zhao Ziyang complained for a long time, as it took him half an hour to finally get through.
Compared to the earlier phone battle, the current scene was nothing, though it still looked quite sentimental—Xi Chenyue hugged the two girls one by one, saying, "Do your best on the exam! You two can definitely do it! Believe in yourselves!"
With Shen Lang as their cheating machine, the two girls were naturally full of confidence, eager to tell Xi Chenyue that Huaxia University was a sure thing. Ji Xiyan said, "Don't worry, Teacher Xi, I won't come back if I don't get into Huaxia University!"
Hu Luoluo also said, "If I don't get into Huaxia University, I'll become a nun!"
Shen Lang chuckled inwardly; becoming a nun was unlikely, but getting married was... sigh.
The girls' words drew a lot of laughter from the surrounding people—some encouraging, some mocking, and some simply amused. However, many candidates felt that this laughter actually made them less nervous.
Xi Chenyue chuckled, "You two are a bit too confident, aren't you?"
Just then, a clear, melodious voice rang out, "If a student like Ji Xiyan can get into Huaxia University, I'll change my surname!"
Everyone turned to see Zhang Zihan, the pretty girl they'd met while vetting the exam hall. Ji Xiyan, enraged, her eyebrows furrowed, and she shouted, "Zhang Zihan, what did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
Zhang Zihan wasn't intimidated at all, seemingly even more arrogant than Ji Xiyan, saying, "I'll say it again if you want. If you can get into Huaxia University, I'll change my surname. But if your dad paid for it, I have nothing to say."
As soon as she spoke, the students with her laughed, and a large crowd quickly gathered around. Being able to watch a live broadcast before the exam felt great. It wasn't their business, so they treated it as a pre-exam treat to ease their tension. Ji Xiyan was furious and wanted to pounce on her, but Shen Lang held her back and whispered, "Girl, don't take it to heart. We'll humiliate her later, hand in our papers an hour early, and make those gossipy girls furious!"
Ji Xiyan agreed wholeheartedly, winked at Shen Lang, and said, "Zhang Zihan, don't think you're so great just because you have good grades. Make a bet with me if you dare!"
Zhang Zihan asked, "What kind of bet?"
Ji Xiyan said, "When the results come out, whoever gets the lower score has to kowtow and apologize!"
Zhang Zihan and her friends thought they'd heard the funniest joke in the world, and said, "Sure, let's see how you kowtow!"
Ji Xiyan added, "And also, please tell..." "Your brother, Zhang Zihuan, stop chasing after me all day. I really don't like him. So, you don't need to bother standing up for your brother and causing me trouble. It's not worth it. It's too tiring for me to deal with you!"
Zhang Zihan was hit where it hurt and became a little angry. She thought to herself that her brother was useless, chasing after the daughter of her father's mortal enemy. She said fiercely, "Ji Xiyan, don't be so
arrogant. We'll see. When you kowtow, I'll definitely take a picture and put it online so the whole world knows how ugly you are! You vixen!" At this moment, the examination hall door opened, and Zhang Zihan rushed in first. The onlookers also rushed in, just like herding sheep. Shen Lang, a little dazed, said, "I thought this girl was deliberately picking a fight, but it turns out there's a reason. It seems Xiao Yan has quite the charm; another brother has appeared." Ji Xiyan said, "Pah! That loser, I don't even look at him. Compared to my senior brother, he's a joke. There's not a single good person in the Zhang family!"
Shen Lang laughed heartily, "Thank you for the compliment. Come on, girls, let's go take the exam for Huaxia University!"
Hearing such bold words, many around almost collapsed, not only surprised by Shen Lang's reckless "outrageous words" but also astonished that such a handsome older man would actually take an exam.
The two girls said goodbye to Xi Chenyue, each taking one of Shen Lang's arms, and walked excitedly into the examination hall, humming a little tune. Many around were truly stunned; they didn't look like they were going to take the college entrance exam; it looked more like they were going on a picnic!
Two delicate young girls, one incredibly pure and innocent, the other with unparalleled long legs, nestled happily on either side of Shen Lang, a sight that made countless young men envious. Even many parents and teachers couldn't help but comment – strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual! God, what a mess!
Some busybodies even filmed the entire scene from Zhang Zihan's provocation to the present with a DV camera, thinking they'd post it online as a bizarre story and attract a lot of clicks! ...
Shen Lang's seat was in the last row, with Hu Luoluo one row to his left and Ji Xiyan one row to his right. This distance allowed Shen Lang to clearly see both girls' papers and easily communicate telepathically. The funny thing was, Zhang Zihan seemed to be still arguing with Ji Xiyan, the two girls glaring at each other like fighting cocks.
Shen Lang was speechless. Competition in the business world was for adults; why were these two little girls so angry?
The first bell rang, and the examination hall fell silent as the serious-faced proctors entered.
To Shen Lang's surprise, he recognized one of the teachers—it was Qin Muyue, Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian's beautiful tutor!
This woman, with her elegant appearance and name, had left a deep impression on Shen Lang, no less so than the stunning impression he had made when he first saw Xi Chenyue.
Now, she wore a light green business suit, her long black hair styled in a bun, looking both refreshing and capable, like a breath of fresh air in the sweltering summer.
Shen Lang couldn't help but feel a surge of goodwill towards her. She was considerate of the examinees, and he believed that most examinees, like himself, would feel much more relaxed looking at this very attractive teacher.

Chapter 157 Vanished
The other proctor was a man, around 30 years old, with unremarkable looks. Shen Lang ignored him completely; there were already plenty of beautiful women to admire, why bother looking at an unattractive man?
Qin Muyue and another proctor whispered to each other, probably discussing who should speak. The male teacher kept waving his hand, declining, but Qin Muyue smiled and agreed.
Qin Muyue first wrote the exam subject and time on the blackboard, then said, "Hello everyone, my name is Qin Muyue, and this teacher is Huo Yiwen. We will be proctoring today's Chinese exam. Ten years of hard study have led to this day, and I hope everyone cherishes this opportunity and achieves good results! During the pre-exam training, we were instructed to say a lot of things, but I believe you all know what they are without me saying them, so I won't. I hope you won't complain about me for that."
Qin Muyue's words drew laughter. She already had a very approachable appearance, and her pleasing attire made the students feel much more relaxed. Although she didn't say it aloud, everyone knew it was something like not to cheat. Next, Qin Muyue went on to explain many important points about the exam and things to be especially careful about, before starting to check the students' admission tickets.
When Qin Muyue arrived in front of Shen Lang, she was very surprised. Wasn't he the godfather of He Xiaoqing and He Xiaoqian? Why was he also taking the college entrance examination? It was too unbelievable!
Qin Muyue's mouth hung open for a long time, but she couldn't say anything. Instead, Shen Lang said softly, "Hello, Teacher Qin!"
Qin Muyue was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Hello, I wish you good results!" Shen
Lang said softly, "Thank you!"
In her panic, Qin Muyue accidentally stepped on the outstretched foot of a candidate next to her. Startled, she almost fell. Shen Lang reacted quickly and caught her, and Qin Muyue fell into his arms. A chorus of jeers and laughter erupted in the examination hall . Qin
Muyue's pretty face flushed instantly. Her teacherly image was completely shattered...
Shen Lang, this older examinee, was simply too conspicuous. Tall and handsome, many examinees couldn't help but glance at him, and thus, most of them witnessed this incredibly embarrassing scene for Qin Muyue.
The male teacher, Huo Yiwen, seemed to be a fan of Qin Muyue. Seeing this, he assumed Shen Lang was deliberately taking advantage of her, and strode over, glaring at Shen Lang, saying, "Excuse me, examinee, please have some self-respect!"
Shen Lang was displeased, but didn't show it. However, he didn't even look at Huo Yiwen—that was blatant contempt. With Shen Lang's help, Qin Muyue stood up, brushed her slightly disheveled hair aside, and defended Shen Lang, saying, "Teacher Huo, he didn't..."
Huo Yiwen seemed certain that it was Shen Lang, this older student, who had been harassing her during the exam. He thought to himself, "At this age, still taking exams, he must not be very good at studying. He must be some kind of student hooligan, the kind who uses his pretty face to deceive innocent girls at school. Now he's even harassing my goddess! How can this be tolerated?"
Huo Yiwen interrupted Qin Muyue very rudely, coldly saying, "You'd better be careful, don't let me catch you doing anything wrong, or you'll have to study for another year."
Shen Lang found it amusing. This guy probably thought he was a student repeating a year of high school. He could also tell this guy had feelings for Qin Muyue; he was probably a lecturer at Huaxia University or something. He just hadn't expected him to be so rash and lacking in manners. He seemed to be protecting Qin Muyue, but in her eyes, he'd already lost a lot of points. He really didn't understand how someone with such low EQ could become a university teacher. He felt worried for the students about to enter university. What kind of students could a teacher of this caliber produce? It was obvious. No wonder some people say that university teachers are people who can't make a living in society. Who would become a teacher if they could adapt to society?
Shen Lang wasn't angry inside, because it wasn't worth arguing with this kind of guy. However, he still retorted, "Mr. Huo, what evidence do you have to say I acted like a hooligan?"
Huo Yiwen was a little surprised. He had only rushed over because he saw Qin Muyue being bullied. As for evidence... he really didn't have any. But he refused to admit defeat, saying, "What evidence do you need? All the candidates in the exam hall saw it."
"Whoa—"
Another round of boos came from the exam hall. This time there was no laughter, just pure boos, like Guo Degang performing a crosstalk routine. Seeing the conflict about to escalate, Qin Muyue advised, "Teacher Huo, the exam is about to start, please don't argue anymore, okay? This time it was really my carelessness."
Hearing Qin Muyue's words, Huo Yiwen retorted to Shen Lang, "If it weren't for Teacher Qin's sake, I wouldn't let you off the hook!"
Shen Lang sneered, "Having someone like you proctoring the exam is a tragedy for us. Not only do you waste everyone's time, but you also ruin everyone's mood. I reserve the right to complain about you afterwards!"
Huo Yiwen laughed angrily, "Fine, I'll wait. You better not cheat, or you'll regret it!"
After saying that, he stormed off to the podium.
Qin Muyue said apologetically to Shen Lang, "Mr. Shen... oh, no, student Shen, I'm really sorry, Mr. Huo's words were a bit excessive. I apologize on his behalf, and I hope it won't affect your mood for the exam. I'm truly sorry." Shen Lang said, "Ms. Qin, it's none of your business. This kind of person won't affect my mood, don't worry!"
Qin Muyue still seemed worried, glancing at Shen Lang's face and gently patting his hand as a form of comfort.
Over here, Ji Xiyan turned around and waved her little fist at Shen Lang, as if to say, "You're really something, even in the exam hall you don't forget to flirt."
At this moment, the bell finally rang for the distribution of exam papers. Qin Muyue had a bit more to do, not letting Huo Yiwen distribute the exam papers to the half of the candidates including Shen Lang, but instead distributing them herself. When she reached Shen Lang's side, she gave him a few encouraging glances and a charming smile.
This made the dozen or so boys in the exam hall extremely jealous. If they could be treated so well by the beautiful proctor, they would rather be wrongly accused by that Huo Yiwen. Shen Lang glanced at the exam paper. The Chinese exam wasn't difficult, and the essay was easy to write. Shen Lang had far more life experience than the average candidate, so even if his writing skills were a bit lacking, he believed his essay would be more substantial than the average candidate's.
Shen Lang roughly estimated that he could finish in about an hour and a half, so he transmitted his voice to the two girls: "Girls, do your best on the exam. If you encounter any questions you don't know or are unsure about, just leave them blank. I'll send you the answers when I'm done. I should be able to finish in about an hour and a half. Whoever finishes, give me a signal with a V-sign!"
The two girls were secretly delighted. This method was too convenient. They proudly made victory signs, acting as if no one else was around.
Huo Yiwen was feeling down when he saw two female examinees raising their hands high in a V-sign victory sign. He called out, "Hey you two girls, what are you doing?"
Ji Xiyan, who had long disliked Huo Yiwen, said, "Can't we encourage each other? Besides, there's no official exam yet, is there?"
Zhang Zihan whispered, "Ugly people are always making a fuss!"
Ji Xiyan was furious: "You shameless woman, who are you calling a shameless woman?"
Zhang Zihan said, "You're the shameless woman! No matter how much you flirt, you won't get into university!"
Ji Xiyan: "You're talking nonsense!"...
The two girls started arguing, turning the exam hall into a veritable marketplace. The other examinees enjoyed the spectacle and burst into laughter. Huo Yiwen, innocently left out, was furious and banged on the table, shouting, "Quiet, quiet, quiet—the exam papers have already been distributed! Any more noise and it'll be considered cheating!"
Shen Lang said, "Teacher, aren't you going too far? You're here to proctor the exam, not to judge. This is an exam hall, not a prison. Don't you think you're overstepping your bounds?"
Shen Lang's words caused the students to burst into laughter. Some had already sensed something was amiss, but they couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. Qin Muyue hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "The exam is about to begin. Please carefully check your exam papers for any damage, missing pages, or printing errors to avoid affecting your performance later..."
Huo Yiwen was about to say something more, but the bell rang to signal the start of the exam, forcing him to swallow his words back. He nearly choked on his words, which amused the other students.
The exam hall finally quieted down, the soft scratching of pens on exam papers filling the air.
Ji Xiyan and Zhang Zihan glared at each other again, but had no choice but to start working on their problems. They could argue anytime, but exam time wouldn't stop. Unfortunately, Zhang Zihan and Ji Xiyan's argument dragged on for several minutes, wasting valuable time and making Zhang Zihan even angrier.
Shen Lang and Ji Xiyan became Huo Yiwen's primary targets, constantly watched and hovering around Shen Lang, seemingly hoping to catch him cheating. The students around Shen Lang also became prime suspects.
Shen Lang raised his hand, and Qin Muyue saw it and asked, "Shen... what's wrong?"
Shen Lang said, "I'm protesting. A certain proctor keeps walking around me, affecting my ability to do the questions. It's a small matter if I underperform, but there are several other students around me. It's not good if I cause them to make mistakes too."
Qin Muyue said, "Teacher Huo, you..."
Huo Yiwen glared at Shen Lang fiercely, found a chair at the back of the classroom, and sat down, right behind and to the side of Shen Lang. Shen Lang smiled slightly at Huo Yiwen, his eyes full of mockery.
Huo Yiwen thought to himself, "I'll sit right behind you and see how you cheat!"
As the exam time passed, Huo Yiwen became increasingly alarmed. Why wasn't this guy cheating? He saw him writing rapidly on the answer sheet, seemingly without even pausing.
Huo Yiwen was suspicious, but he couldn't go over to look. He could only comfort himself, thinking that this guy was just scribbling randomly; otherwise, who would write so fast?
Huo Yiwen couldn't resist and peeked over, only to find that the guy had actually started writing an essay! But less than an hour of exam time had passed!
Huo Yiwen became even more convinced of his suspicion that the guy was just guessing!
In less than 30 minutes, Shen Lang finished his essay. Looking at it, Shen Lang was quite satisfied; it was substantial, well-organized, and the handwriting was neat and beautiful.
He had been tutoring with Xi Chenyue recently, and although he hadn't attended many classes, his handwriting had improved—it was a delicate and beautiful imitation of the "Slender Gold" style.
Having finished the exam, and seeing the two girls writing their essays, with less than an hour and twenty minutes of exam time remaining, Shen Lang, having nothing to do, began to observe the ceiling.
Seeing Shen Lang starting to get restless, Huo Yiwen felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for was about to arrive…

Chapter 158 A Perfect Match
"Hey, examinee, no looking around!"
Huo Yiwen tapped on Shen Lang's desk, lowering his voice, but his smugness was unmistakable. "You finally couldn't resist cheating, huh?"
Shen Lang said. "Mr. Huo, which eye of yours saw me looking around? I was just observing the ceiling!"
Huo Yiwen was speechless, saying, "You're not allowed to observe the ceiling!"
Shen Lang retorted, "Mr. Huo, which rule says you can't observe the ceiling?"
Another burst of laughter filled the exam hall, and many students took the opportunity to peek at the papers of those next to them. Shen Lang had unwittingly brought good fortune to everyone. Zhang Zihan cursed inwardly, "That jerk, just as annoying as Ji Xiyan! I finally got into the zone and caught up with the questions, and he interrupted me again. I hate you!
" Qin Muyue hurriedly came over and asked, "Shen, have you finished?"
Shen Lang replied, "Yes, I've finished, and I've checked it too."
A collective gasp filled the exam hall. The fastest person had only just begun writing their essay, and this guy had already finished.
Qin Muyue said, "Shen, the college entrance exam is a major life event, so it's best to be careful. If you don't want to hand in your paper, it would be better to check it again." Shen Lang said, "Okay, okay, I'll check! Teacher Qin, I've noticed you're more capable than some other teachers. Some teachers suspect students of cheating at the drop of a hat. We're here to take the exam, not to be subjected to unnecessary suspicion!"
Huo Yiwen was speechless with anger: "You..."
Huo Yiwen sat back down in frustration, focusing all his attention on Shen Lang. You repeat student, I'm specifically watching you. Trying to cheat? Unless you have special abilities!
Unfortunately, Huo Yiwen's "unless" was true. At this moment, Hu Luoluo struck a victory pose, finishing before Ji Xiyan.
Shen Lang began to transmit his voice to her: "Girl, here are my answers. I'll read them to you. I can't guarantee they're all correct. If you encounter any differences, mark them on your scratch paper. I can see them. Then I'll check them again."
Hu Luoluo wagged her finger, indicating that she heard him.
Shen Lang read the answers aloud. Aside from the essay, the two students had slightly different answers to two multiple-choice questions and two short-answer questions. Shen Lang checked them again, making sure he was right, and then had Hu Luoluo correct them. Next, Ji Xiyan finished. Shen Lang used the same trick; Ji Xiyan had many questions she didn't know, but she left them blank, so the answers weren't completely distorted.
One hour and forty minutes later, the three of them handed in their papers together, leaving everyone in the room somewhat dumbfounded. Seeing the three of them leisurely leave their seats, everyone found it unbelievable.
Qin Muyue looked at the three of them, somewhat incredulous, and asked, "Are you sure you want to hand in your papers?"
Shen Lang said, "We can't even look at the ceiling anymore, it's so boring, we have to hand them in." Shen Lang's words caused another burst of laughter. Huo Yiwen's face turned pale with anger, but he couldn't find a reason to lash out.
Ji Xiyan chimed in with a joke, "Yeah, what's the point of staying if we can't look at the ceiling?"
Hu Luoluo said, "My only enjoyment after finishing the questions is looking at the ceiling, but since we can't, I had to hand in my paper."
The exam hall erupted in laughter again, and Huo Yiwen's face turned a little green.
Zhang Zihan cursed inwardly, "Finally getting back into the zone, and these guys interrupted me again! I hate them! I'm going to get revenge—"
The three of them swaggered around, looking particularly conspicuous in the empty campus. Many students looked out the window, their hearts breaking. What a perfect couple! One on each arm, and if only they were the man in the middle. Too bad they hadn't finished their questions yet…
Xi Chenyue was waiting for the three in her car outside the exam hall. It wasn't even 11 o'clock yet when she saw them come out grinning. She quickly got out of the car and went to greet them, eagerly asking, "How did the exam go?"
Ji Xiyan said, "Hmm, conservatively speaking, 130 points. If the essay gets me 50 points, that's the passing score!"
Hu Luoluo said, "Conservatively speaking, 140 points. If the essay gets full marks… that seems unlikely…"
Shen Yunzhong said, "Conservatively speaking, 140 points. My essay writing wasn't very good; I'll probably lose seven or eight points." Hearing this, the teachers and parents around were overjoyed. It seemed today's questions weren't too difficult!
But they immediately wondered why only three people had handed in their papers. Where were the others?
Watching the three get into their car and speed away, the teachers and parents waited until almost the bell rang before any students came out, almost all of them sighing, "It was so hard!"
Zhang Zihan handed in her paper, feeling incredibly resentful. If it weren't for those three troublemakers, she wouldn't have had to work so hard. ...
In the afternoon math exam, Shen Lang and his two friends put on an even more heartbreaking farce, handing in their papers in less than an hour. Huo Yiwen rolled his eyes in anger, helpless to do anything. In his opinion, the three of them had deliberately handed in their papers so early to annoy him; they didn't seem like good students at all, especially the two girls who were brazenly clinging to a grown man's arm—what kind of behavior was that?
In fact, Shen Lang finished in 40 minutes, but it took him almost 20 minutes to "pass" the answers to the two girls, especially Ji Xiyan, who was particularly bad at math. If she were to do it, she probably wouldn't even pass. Shen Lang didn't dare let her stand out too much, so he gave her 130 points, while giving Hu Luoluo 145 points, because he had made a promise with Hu Luoluo that her score had to be higher than Ji Xiyan's. Shen Lang was also a little helpless; women's competitive spirit was evident. After 10 minutes, Shen Lang was the first to hand in his paper. Qin Muyue asked incredulously, "Are you sure you want to hand in your paper?"
Shen Lang said, "Yeah, what else can I do? If someone stares at you intently for an hour, I guess you'd want to hand in your paper too, teacher."
Qin Muyue found it a little funny and glanced at Huo Yiwen, whose face was pale, yet he couldn't refute her.
Qin Muyue said, "You can't be careless in the college entrance exam. If you need to check again, I can let you..."
Shen Lang said, "No need, thank you, Teacher Qin, see you tomorrow!"
(Usually, the proctor changes every exam, but this is a novel, so don't be so serious, o(∩_∩)o) At this moment, Hu Luoluo finally finished filling in the answer sheet, smiled and ran over, obediently saying, "Teacher Qin, I'm handing in my paper!"
Ji Xiyan was not to be outdone, saying, "Me too!"
"Crash—"
Hearts in the classroom shattered again. Some people looked up to the sky and sighed. We're all human, how come the difference is so big?
Zhang Zihan had only just started the second big question. She, who was always proud and arrogant, couldn't calm down for a long time. What's wrong with these three? Did they take stimulants?
The three figures appeared in the empty campus again, and an even louder "crash" sounded. Countless candidates sighed in their hearts, why is it them again?

Chapter 159 Honest Confession
After the math exam, Qin Muyue was about to drive home when Huo Yiwen called her back.
"Mu Yue, are you free? I'd like to invite you to dinner."
Qin Mu Yue frowned and said, "Teacher Huo, I think it's better if you just call me Teacher Qin."
A shadow of gloom flashed across Huo Yiwen's eyes as he said, "Teacher Qin, could we have dinner together? I know a place..."
Qin Mu Yue hadn't had a particularly good impression of Huo Yiwen before, but she didn't dislike him either. However, after what happened today, Qin Mu Yue felt that this man was narrow-minded and intolerant, and she really didn't want to get entangled with him any further. She declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm very tired today. If it weren't for work, I think I'd better go home and rest!"
Qin Mu Yue's meaning was clear: there was no possibility between them.
Huo Yiwen reached out and pressed down on the car door Qin Muyue was about to open, saying, "Teacher Qin, I just want to talk to you about work. Let's find a place to eat and talk."
Qin Muyue replied, "Let's talk here; I need to go home for dinner tonight."
Huo Yiwen's annoyance intensified, but he didn't show it, saying, "In that case, I'll get straight to the point. Teacher Qin, I believe those three students who kept handing in their papers early were cheating together, and I'm going to report this to the proctor."
Qin Muyue had always had a good impression of Shen Lang, and she hadn't noticed anything wrong with him. Subconsciously, she felt Huo Yiwen was "taking revenge," and said unhappily, "Teacher Huo, isn't that inappropriate? I thought those three had always been very well-behaved."
Huo Yiwen... Wen said dismissively, "It's precisely because the three of them have been behaving themselves that I'm reporting them. They must have used some new, high-tech cheating method, because I carefully examined their exam papers. The answers for both Chinese and Math were mostly the same, and the two girls showed many signs of alteration."
Qin Muyue said, "Teacher Huo, it's normal to have alterations in exams; that can't be considered evidence of cheating. Similar answers don't prove anything either. If you want to ensure the questions are correct, then the answers must be the same, don't you think?"
Huo Yiwen said, "Teacher Qin, I understand your thinking, but don't you think it's too obvious that all three of them handed in their papers early? Once could be a coincidence, but twice? Also, I heard Ji Xi... " Yan, one of the test-takers' classmates, said that this student usually had very poor grades and it was impossible for him to do so well.
Qin Muyue said, "Teacher Huo, I reserve my opinion because I haven't caught them cheating at all. If you're going to report it, please don't put my name on it."
Huo Yiwen's tone hardened: "Teacher Qin, I really don't understand you. I feel like you're protecting the test-taker and condoning cheating!"
Qin Muyue was also a little angry and said, "Teacher Huo, I feel like you're bringing your personal feelings into your work. Invigilating the college entrance examination is a very sacred and serious job. You shouldn't be prejudiced against people."
Huo Yiwen said, "Teacher Qin, you've been favoring him all along. Do you like that test-taker?"
Qin Muyue's tone turned cold: "Teacher Huo..." "I will now respectfully address you as Teacher Huo. If you continue to say such offensive things, I will be disappointed in you. Please do not tarnish the title of teacher."
Huo Yiwen laughed angrily, "Fine, fine, I won't say anything, okay? However, I will definitely find evidence. Moreover, I will immediately report this matter to the proctoring team. If you, Teacher Qin, do not co-sign, I have nothing to say. If it is found that they really cheated, Teacher Qin will be guilty of condoning cheating and will definitely not escape responsibility!"
Qin Muyue sneered, "Fine, Huo Yiwen, go ahead! I, Qin Muyue, have grown up and don't need you to teach me how to do things!" Qin
Muyue was really angry this time, calling Huo Yiwen by his name. She was extremely disappointed in this colleague.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yiwen said "Fine" several times and then turned around and stormed off.
After Huo Yiwen left, Qin Muyue sat in the car, lost in thought. She had to admit that Shen Lang and the other two candidates were indeed acting strangely, but that didn't necessarily mean they had cheated. Today's college entrance exam employed stricter anti-cheating measures than ever before, and if they had indeed cheated, they certainly wouldn't have escaped the surveillance cameras. This year's exam also implemented a "zero-tolerance" policy, meaning that if there was conclusive evidence that a candidate had cheated, regardless of the severity, their score for that subject would be canceled. If it was discovered a second time, all scores would be canceled, and further investigation would be conducted.
Although Qin Muyue didn't know why Shen Lang, at such an "old" age, was only taking the college entrance exam, she was still very worried that he might actually have his exam results canceled for cheating.
Qin Muyue thought she needed to find a way to talk to him.
But the invigilators had strict rules against contacting candidates privately during the exam. What could she do? She
should try to remind him tomorrow morning before the exam started…
Huo Yiwen reported the unusual behavior of Shen Lang and the other two to the head of the invigilation team, the so-called chief examiner, which drew the chief examiner's attention.
The chief examiner was also surprised. He had seen the three candidates hand in their papers early twice and wondered if they had actually used a new form of cheating.
The head of the invigilation team immediately organized several supervisors to investigate the monitoring room. After observing the room several times, they found nothing of significant suspicion. However, Ji Xiyan and Hu Luoluo's victory sign had aroused the invigilation team's suspicion, as they had made the same gesture in both exams.
As for the exam papers, they were sealed and required approval from a higher-level leader before being opened. These existing suspicions were not enough to prove cheating; at most, they could only be considered suspicious. Finally, the supervisory team made a decision: invigilator Qin Muyue, who had concealed the abnormal situation, would have her invigilation qualification temporarily revoked. If the three candidates were found to have cheated at Zhongda University, Qin Muyue would be investigated further.
When Qin Muyue received the news that her invigilation qualification had been revoked and she had been temporarily isolated, she was stunned and helpless. She secretly resented Huo Yiwen's lack of leniency while praying that Shen Lang would not be found out.
Qin Muyue wasn't worried about being implicated; she just thought Shen Lang was a decent person. If he were found guilty of cheating, he probably wouldn't have a chance to go to university for at least three years. ...
The two girls had done well on their exams today and were very excited. If Xi Chenyue hadn't forced them to sleep, they probably would have played until the wee hours. Xi Chenyue sent the two girls to their rooms to sleep, but Shen Lang emerged like a ghost. He hadn't touched Xi Chenyue for several days, and with no sleepiness whatsoever, he quietly slipped into her room.
Shen Lang didn't deliberately try to be careful; he even made the door make a little noise.
Xi Chenyue noticed Shen Lang as soon as he entered the room. Only after he got into bed did she say, "You bad guy, trying to cause trouble again, huh?"
Shen Lang hugged Xi Chenyue's soft body, burying his head in her chest, inhaling her sweet fragrance, and said indistinctly, "My good wife, I'm in a good mood today, let's celebrate!"
Xi Chenyue chuckled, saying, "What does your good exam have to do with me? Besides, didn't we just celebrate? We spent over 600 yuan on one meal. That's at home! If we were eating out, the cost would be way higher. You guys are quite extravagant!"
Shen Lang laughed, "It was all sponsored by Ji, not your money, why are you so upset?"
Xi Chenyue said, "Tell me honestly, did you and those two girls cheat? Otherwise, why are they acting like they've found millions?" Shen Lang
pretended to be clueless, "Cheat? How could that be? You don't know how strict the exams are now, the security checks..." "It's even stricter than boarding a plane, with jamming devices and cameras everywhere. I'd need to have the ability to cheat!"
Xi Chenyue said. "Hmph, I don't believe it! I think Ji'er is acting strangely. Even if she performed exceptionally well, it wouldn't excite her to that extent." Shen Lang said, "No, if you're saying she's excited, it's all because of you!"
Xi Chenyue thought to herself, "Me? How did this get to me again?"
Shen Lang said, "You've taught her well. Under Teacher Xi's guidance, Ji'er's grades are naturally incomparable to before." Xi Chenyue said, "Stop flattering me! I don't believe it! You're definitely hiding something from me! Honey, I know you're very capable, but you absolutely can't do anything stupid. There's zero tolerance for cheating now. If you're caught, you won't be allowed to take exams for three years. It's fine for you, but the two girls will be finished, you know?"
Shen Lang said, "Don't worry, it's okay, my measures..."
Shen Lang accidentally let slip and hurriedly stopped talking.
But Xi Chenyue had already heard him and exclaimed, "Could it be... you really cheated? Tell me quickly, what happened? If you don't tell me, I'll never let you touch me again!"
Shen Lang said helplessly, "My dear wife, don't worry, we did cheat, but our cheating method is unparalleled, we definitely won't be discovered."
Xi Chenyue's heart sank, and she said, "What happened? Tell me quickly! Better safe than sorry."
Shen Lang surrendered and honestly confessed, "Have you ever heard of telepathic communication or secret telepathic communication?"
Xi Chenyue... Yue said, "I've heard of it, but what does it have to do with cheating... Ah, do you use telepathy?"
Shen Lang said, "Smart! As expected of my woman, Shen Lang, you're so smart, you understand so quickly!"
Xi Chenyue was embarrassed by Shen Lang's words and said, "Get lost, but how could you possibly do that?"
Shen Lang said, "Your husband is a genius!"
Xi Chenyue said, "Showing off again, let me hear it!"
Shen Lang smiled and telepathically said, "Wife, let's do the things we like to do!"
Xi Chenyue was stunned. What kind of voice was that? It was very clear, like it was being spoken in her ear (in fact, it was being spoken in her ear), but Shen Lang's mouth didn't move at all.
Before Xi Chenyue could recover from her shock, Shen Lang pounced on her like a tiger…

Chapter 160: A Matter of Great Concern.
The battle temporarily ended two hours later. The woman, panting, said, “You rascal, how come you’re getting better and better? It’s making me afraid to do it with you anymore.”
The man said somewhat dejectedly, “Wife, don’t! If it’s really too much, we can just bring another one. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater; that’s a foolish idea.”
The woman said, “You wish! I almost died of embarrassment in the cave last time. Don’t even think about making me serve you with another woman again!
” The man said, "No way! The ad says, 'Everyone's good is true good,' so everyone being 'good' together is what truly matters. There's some truth to what they're saying." The woman spat, "Pah! Of course you're trying every trick in the book to bring all your women here to satisfy your evil, perverted desires. If you want them again, just go to their rooms. I don't want them here." The man said, "
You won't let them come? Can you go over there yourself?" The woman
: "No!" The man:
"Really not?"
The woman: "..."
The man was puzzled. Why was there no sound? Looking closer, he saw the woman was asleep. The man sighed, "You're satisfied, but I, Old Shen, am still stuck in the middle!"
Oh well, for the sake of the college entrance exam, let's sleep!
Nothing more was said that night. The next day, the three of them went to the exam hall early, only to encounter another verbal battle with Zhang Zihan.
Zhang Zihan: "Oh my, Miss Ji, you handed in your paper early yesterday?"
Ji Xiyan: "Of course! What would I do if I didn't hand it in?"
Shen Lang found it amusing; this girl's words were truly outrageous. However, this was just girls bickering, and as a grown man, he couldn't easily chime in, so he could only listen.
Zhang Zihan: "You didn't hand in a blank paper, did you? It's not like you've only done this once, Miss Ji." Ji Xiyan said: "You don't need to worry about that. It's like how long your boyfriend can last in bed—you know that yourself, there's no need to publicize it." Upon
hearing this, a large group of people at the school gate collapsed in dismay.
Shen Lang was also a little sweaty, pretending to look up at the scenery; he didn't recognize this girl.
Zhang Zihan, unlike Ji Xiyan, had no shame and spat, "Shameless!"
Ji Xiyan chuckled, "It's just making love, what's so shameless about it?"
Zhang Zihan, unaware she'd fallen into Ji Xiyan's trap, retorted, "Making love is shameless!"
Upon hearing this, many parents and teachers present turned green with embarrassment. How could she be shameless so early on? However, Chinese people are generally thin-skinned, and no one dared to argue with a young girl taking the college entrance exam. But this didn't include Ji Xiyan, who smiled maliciously, "You're really disgraceful, saying your parents are shameless."
Zhang Zihan, bewildered, hurriedly retorted, "Who said that? You're talking nonsense!"
Ji Xiyan said, "You just said making love is shameless, but if your parents had any shame, how could you exist?"
"Whoosh—"
A large group of people nearby fell over again; those who had fallen earlier hadn't even gotten up yet. Zhang Zihan's face flushed crimson, almost turning dark red, and she nearly fainted. She was actually brought to tears by Ji Xiyan's words, muttering, "Ji Xiyan, you scoundrel!"
Ji Xiyan retorted, "Yes, I am a scoundrel, but I don't spend my days gathering five or six bitches to mock and belittle my classmates. My grades used to be bad, but that doesn't mean I have no dignity! How did you treat me before? If it weren't for our past as classmates, I would have had my bodyguards tear your foul mouths apart. You shameless bastards, mistaking others' tolerance for weakness. Even paper dolls have some temper. Don't think that good grades give you the right to abuse people. You, a piece of trash, don't deserve it!"
Ji Xiyan finished speaking and triumphantly entered the school gate. A group of somewhat mentally challenged people were at the gate, confused by the situation. Who was bullying whom? The long-legged girl didn't seem like someone who would be bullied.
Zhang Zihan had almost been rendered a vegetable; otherwise, if someone had woken her up, the girl would probably have stood at the gate until the exam was over. Shen Lang
said, "Girl, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Ji Xiyan said, "Brother Lang, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Hu Luoluo just kept laughing. She had witnessed Ji Xiyan's arguing skills earlier, and thankfully, she hadn't used them on herself.
Shen Lang said, "You've always held back, probably all for today, right? A fatal blow. I guess that little Zhang Zihan won't do well on her exam today."
Ji Xiyan laughed, "No way! I've always had a really good temper. It's just that she went too far this time, so I gave her a little lesson."
A little? Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat. How heavy would a real lesson be?
"Really?"
Ji Xiyan said, "Believe it or not. Anyway, you have no proof!"
Shen Lang sighed inwardly. This girl was quite cunning. She always held back, but at the crucial moment, she delivered a heavy blow. Deliberately handing in her paper early was probably to anger Zhang Zihan.
That girl might really underperform. ...
The proctor came over, and Shen Lang discovered that Qin Muyue was gone, replaced by a new teacher.
Although Shen Lang had questions, he didn't ask. He knew even a fool would give him a hard time, so why bother? Shen Lang noticed that Huo Yiwen was carrying a machine of unknown purpose, which he placed heavily on the podium.
Huo Yiwen was whispering with the new teacher, pointing directly at Shen Lang and the two girls.
Shen Lang sneered inwardly. This machine was probably aimed at the three of them too. But unfortunately, there was no way to block telepathic communication; it was beyond the reach of science and technology.
So Shen Lang telepathically told the two girls, "Girls, that 'cholera' guy is at it today, so don't use hand gestures. Just put your pens on your admission tickets after you're done writing, I'll see them." The two girls burst out laughing. What a nickname! "Cholera" sounds like smallpox!
The new teacher started adjusting the equipment, then looked confident, as if to say that any signal would be detected.
The exam began, and Huo Yiwen continued to stare intently at Shen Lang, but this had no effect on Shen Lang. He continued answering questions quickly, without even looking up, which annoyed Huo Yiwen.
Shen Lang knew that the new teacher was definitely in cahoots with Huo Yiwen, so he stopped talking and focused on answering the questions.
At this moment, Qin Muyue was sitting in front of the monitor with the proctoring team, the camera fixed on Shen Lang and the two girls.
Qin Muyue couldn't contact the outside world, so she couldn't give Shen Lang any information. She could only secretly pray, "Shen Lang, please don't be discovered."
The comprehensive subject exam lasted two and a half hours. An hour had passed, and Shen Lang had quickly finished answering the questions. The proctoring team had also been staring at the screen for an hour, their eyes were sore, but they hadn't noticed anything amiss.
Qin Muyue finally breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Shen Lang was truly capable.
Qin Muyue stretched her aching neck and rubbed her hands with relief, only then realizing that her palms were covered in sweat.
Qin Muyue thought to herself with a touch of self-deprecation, why was she so nervous about him?

Chapter 161 Don't Judge
a Book by Its Cover An hour and a half later, Hu Luoluo finished answering the questions she was confident about and placed her pen on her admission ticket. Shen Lang subtly began to pass the answers to Hu Luoluo. Hu Luoluo picked up her pen and continued writing on the paper, feeling so pleased she almost wanted to shout out loud. Could there be another case of cheating like this in all of China?
This subtle, almost negligible movement caught the attention of the proctoring team, because even the smallest action by three people at this point would arouse suspicion.
Those watching the screen had fallen into a trap, prejudiced from the start, unilaterally concluding that the three were suspected of cheating based on Huo Yiwen's report. This was strikingly similar to the way Chinese police investigate cases: first, a suspect is identified, then evidence is sought around that suspect; if no evidence is found, torture is used to extract a confession, as seen with Zhao Zuohai recently and She Xianglin before him. But what could a mere pause before continuing to answer the questions prove? Could they conclude cheating based on a single pause? That was unacceptable, especially since no unidentified signals were detected. They could only continue observing.
A moment later, Ji Xiyan finished her questions, placed her pen on her admission ticket, and then picked it up again to write a few seconds later.
Her actions were identical to Hu Luoluo's!
This further aroused the invigilators' suspicions. Why would the two make the same move? Or was it just a coincidence?
But apart from that, there was no other suspicious detail. How could they determine cheating?
Qin Muyue began to suspect that Shen Lang and the others were cheating together, but even the high-tech equipment
couldn't detect it. How could they cheat? Soon, under the strict monitoring of the invigilation team, the three of them handed in their papers early again, and the supervision team found no further valuable clues. After the exam, the invigilation team decided to study the three papers, hoping to find some clues.
However, they were destined to find nothing. Shen Lang was careful and wouldn't let Hu Luoluo and Ji Xiyan's answers be the same as his, especially for the subjective questions. Shen Lang's answers for the two girls were almost imperceptible. The meaning was the same, but the wording and order were completely changed, making the three answers completely different. The expert group studied for a long time and all shook their heads, unable to determine cheating.
Huo Yiwen was a little embarrassed and said, "They are definitely cheating, but we don't know what methods they used."
The head of the invigilation team looked very bad. He had been staring at the monitoring screen for nearly two hours, plus the high-tech signal capture equipment he had applied for, but all his time and effort had yielded nothing. How could he not be angry?
The proctoring team leader said, "Teacher Huo, please don't suspect candidates so easily in the future. Don't report it unless you have solid evidence." Huo Yiwen's face also turned ugly, and he said, "But..."
The team leader said, "No buts. Our purpose in proctoring is to prevent students from cheating, not to catch them cheating. You need to grasp the right balance. We are not a judicial body; we can't use the method of convicting someone of a crime."
Huo Yiwen said unwillingly, "I understand."
The team leader then said to Qin Muyue, "Teacher Qin, I'm sorry you had to suffer. On behalf of the entire team, I apologize to you."
Qin Muyue said, "Team leader, you're too kind. I know it's all for the good of the candidates, for the fairness and impartiality of the exam. It's nothing for me to suffer a little." The team leader said, "I'm ashamed. You can continue proctoring this afternoon. Let's just let this matter pass."
The team leader was also a little helpless. He couldn't punish Huo Yiwen because Huo Yiwen was a certain leader's nephew. He had to give him face, otherwise... humph! Although the incident had passed, Qin
Muyue harbored a deep unease. She intuitively felt that Shen Lang and the two girls must have used some form of cheating. The suspicious points were numerous yet subtle, fueling her growing suspicion.
In fact, Qin Muyue didn't want to expose Shen Lang; she felt it unnecessary. She had a good impression of Shen Lang and the two girls—they were both beautiful and adorable. Speaking of exam fairness, Qin Muyue had seen those who actually cheated before, but they didn't need to cheat in the exam hall. With strong enough connections, obtaining exam papers in advance was easy, and altering them afterward was also possible.
There were too many shady dealings in the college entrance exam. Those who cheated using power disgusted Qin Muyue, but she admired this high-level cheating. Compared to those sordid exchanges of power and money, this behavior was much purer; they relied on genuine skill.
But this matter felt like a thorn in her side. Qin Muyue increasingly wanted to know how Shen Lang had cheated, her heart itching with curiosity. However, it was exam time, and Qin Muyue knew she couldn't interact with Shen Lang, but that didn't mean she couldn't after the exam. ...
Although Huo Yiwen hadn't been disqualified from invigilating, the group leader had reassigned him to another exam room. Qin Muyue and a female teacher were invigilating the afternoon's English exam.
The exam went smoothly. Although Qin Muyue's gaze occasionally drifted towards Shen Lang, she wasn't trying to catch him red-handed; she just subconsciously wanted to observe, clinging to a one in a million hope of discovering his trickery.
Unfortunately, Shen Lang didn't give her a chance. He performed flawlessly throughout the entire exam, without a single problem, and once again, he and the two girls handed in their papers an hour early. Qin Muyue was somewhat numb. In fact, the other students in the exam room were numb too. Everyone was lamenting, "These three are truly freaks! They're just torturing people's nerves! How could I be so unlucky as to be in the same exam room as these three freaks?"
Zhang Zihan was distracted by Ji Xiyan all morning and didn't do well on the test. However, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse; she still performed at her usual level. She had the potential to perform exceptionally well, but now she was lucky not to have a blunder. Her resentment was like a raging river; Ji Xiyan was the root of all evil!
Zhang Zihan thought to herself, "Ji Xiyan, and Shen Lang, you wait! I, Zhang Zihan, will make you pay!"...
Shen Lang handed in his paper and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Qin Muyue whisper in his ear, "Don't leave yet after you hand in your paper. I need to talk to you later." Shen Lang was taken aback, a little confused, but looking at Qin Muyue's deliberately expressionless face, he smiled slightly, nodded, and whispered, "I'll wait by the flower bed."
Then, the two girls came out, and Shen Lang told them to leave first, saying he had something to do.
The two girls, unsuspecting, left early, leaving Shen Lang wandering alone on campus. Fortunately, the campus was quite nice, with shady trees and blooming flowers, so it wasn't too boring. About an hour later, Qin Muyue walked over from afar, graceful and elegant, her pale green figure pleasing to the eye.
"Mr. Shen, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting,"
Qin Muyue said with a smile. This smile reminded Shen Lang of Tian Qingya, and perhaps that was why Shen Lang had agreed to stay and wait for Qin Muyue without really thinking it through.
Shen Lang said, "Teacher Qin, you're too kind. Just call me Shen Lang, haha. It's alright, I'll just pretend I'm enjoying the scenery. But, Teacher Qin, aren't you trying to be discreet by coming to see me so openly?"
Qin Muyue said nonchalantly, "The exams are over, what does it matter? Let's go find a place to eat, it's on me."
Shen Lang said, "Don't mention it, I'm a very chauvinistic person, I'll treat you! Come with me... oh, never mind, I'll go with you, I don't have a car."
Qin Muyue laughed loudly, "Who openly admits to being a chauvinist? I think..." "Not at all! Let's go, my car's parked right next door."
Seeing Qin Muyue jogging, Shen Lang said, puzzled, "That's strange. You drive an expensive car, yet you're interested in these few proctoring fees."
Qin Muyue replied, "What do you know? These two days' proctoring fees are enough for my gas bill for a month! With the reform of the proctoring system these past two years, the fees are now distributed to proctors by the government through online banking. Without layers of bureaucracy, the proctoring fees for two days... hehe... at least much better than before."
Shen Lang was astonished. This girl really was after the proctoring fees! You can't judge a book by its cover!
