Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 192 - 142: Stolen Heart! Eavesdropping!

The WeChat group of Class One in the Electronic Science department is getting increasingly lively.

Liu Qingwu, who was lying on the dormitory sofa "maintaining her fish pond," also casually opened the WeChat group.

Then she saw the video sent by Sun Peng and the number "ten million" that everyone was discussing.

Has it been finalized so quickly?

Last night, Liu Qingwu accidentally overheard someone calling Shen Qiushan about film rights, and the price mentioned was indeed ten million.

But in order not to appear too purposeful, Liu Qingwu pretended not to hear anything and didn’t inquire about Shen Qiushan writing books.

In fact, she was quite curious and planned to indirectly find a chance to ask about it. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Unexpectedly, the news came out today and with such high popularity.

However, after seeing that Shen Qiushan made money by writing web novels, Liu Qingwu felt a bit disappointed.

Because one of her roommates had also once written web novels part-time and had moments when her monthly manuscript fees were over ten thousand, but it didn’t earn much later on.

The roommate had complained to her, saying that the income from writing web novels is too unstable.

However, Shen Qiushan’s situation must be much better than her roommate’s since he alone sold the film rights for ten million!

But there is also a problem, which is the stability of future income.

This book might have earned ten million, but what about the next book?

It must be said, Liu Qingwu is thinking quite long-term, but for her current phase, Shen Qiushan is still a very good choice.

After all, he has at least ten million in assets as a baseline, and even if his subsequent works don’t sell for millions, the income should not be too low either.

Liu Qingwu joined in the fun in the class group, sending a "fireworks" emoji.

Then, she quickly downloaded the Penguin Novels app, found Shen Qiushan’s novel, and started reading it seriously.

Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be defeated.

To have more topics to talk about with Shen Qiushan, starting from his novel is the best way.

Downstairs at the faculty dormitory.

Shen Qiushan, after parking the car, took three pillows from the back seat, then handed one to Lin Xiamo: "This pillow is very comfortable to sleep on, so I bought a few more."

Earlier, when Shen Qiushan was taking Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao back, he gave each of them a pillow, so Lin Xiamo wasn’t surprised by this gesture.

However, her gaze instinctively paused on the two pillows Shen Qiushan held in his arms.

Why would a person need to prepare two pillows?

Or maybe, those pillows are for someone else!

Lin Xiamo couldn’t help but think of the beautiful counselor from yesterday, seemingly named Liu Qingwu, who lived next door. Besides, she was also the assistant counselor for Shen Qiushan’s class.

Despite having many thoughts, Lin Xiamo naturally couldn’t ask such questions.

The two walked into the dormitory building together, and suddenly Lin Xiamo’s phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID; it was her mother, Chen Qingzhu, calling. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiamo answered the phone.

"Momo, are you back at the dorm?"

"Yes, just got here."

"Check your WeChat messages, Xiaoli added you, but he said you haven’t accepted his friend request."

"Xiaoli is a nice kid, and his conditions are quite good, so you should have a good chat with him..."

Upon answering the phone, Lin Xiamo thought it must be about matchmaking, and sure enough, it was.

"Alright, got it."

After hanging up, Lin Xiamo sighed helplessly.

Actually, she wasn’t deliberately against her parents’ wishes; she had accepted several matchmaking attempts before, but none of those matches ever met her expectations.

Moreover, she had even encountered some quite peculiar men.

This was why Lin Xiamo slowly started to resist the idea of matchmaking, as she felt that relying on matchmaking simply wouldn’t help her find someone she truly likes.

"Seems like you’re quite averse to matchmaking!"

Hearing most of the phone conversation, Shen Qiushan cheerfully remarked.

"It’s very boring!"

Lin Xiamo lightly pouted.

"Then what kind of man are you looking for?"

"You must have a mental image in your mind, right!"

Shen Qiushan asked curiously.

Others might be single because their personal conditions aren’t good enough or they have obvious shortcomings.

But Lin Xiamo is different; she’s the typical hexagonal warrior, outstanding in appearance, figure, education, job, family background, and personal capabilities.

If there were to be a flaw, it might be her relatively cold personality.

And also her age, 31 is indeed not young!

After all, in the dating and marriage market, the factor that most significantly impacts a woman’s value is her age.

Being 31 is okay for now, but in a few more years, even if all other conditions are excellent, it would be difficult to find a man who matches up.

In cases like Lin Xiamo, with exceptional looks, she might remain optimistic, but for women with decent conditions that are not outstanding, it’s truly hard.

Because, when most women look for a partner, they tend to aim higher.

For example, if her annual salary is 300,000, she might want a man whose annual salary is 400,000 to 500,000.

In her view, this doesn’t seem like a high demand, just slightly higher than her own income.

But the problem is, men with an annual salary of 400,000 to 500,000, have a lot of options; they are not only liked by thirty-something "leftover" women, but also by young girls in their early twenties.

So, if you were that man.

Would you choose a premium leftover woman in her thirties, or a young girl in her early twenties?

Hearing Shen Qiushan’s question, Lin Xiamo instinctively glanced at him and replied, "It depends on the chemistry!"

"None of my previous blind dates gave me that heart-throbbing feeling."

Actually, Lin Xiamo has a complete set of criteria for choosing a mate in her heart.

First of all, the appearance conditions must be met; she is a heavy appearance-oriented person, very picky on looks!

In Lin Xiamo’s view, since you have to live a lifetime together, the person must be pleasing to the eye. If just the sight is annoying, it’s impossible to live together.

Next is personality; Lin Xiamo herself is considered introverted, so she wants to find someone more extroverted and capable of uplifting her emotions.

And lastly, talent!

The girl who loves singing actually has the genes of a literary young woman.

She appreciates those who are talented.

She likes those "madmen" who have a rock spirit, act freely, and approach life with unconventional styles!

The three qualities Lin Xiamo values most are hard to find in one person.

This is one of the reasons she’s always been single!

However, recently.

Someone has appeared by her side who almost embodies all three qualities!

He has an outstanding appearance and figure.

He writes novels, attracting a large number of book fans and achieving a leap in wealth.

Although he doesn’t sing rock, his actions are very "rock and roll"!

At the age of 38, he took the college entrance exam and became the top scorer in Sanjiang Province.

Even Lin Xiamo didn’t expect that the person she had been searching for was right by her side all along.

It’s just that for a long period, she didn’t notice his shining points!

Of course, that’s not the main point.

The main point is the subtle relationship between the two.

If Shen Qiushan were just an ordinary man.

With no such delicate relationship with her.

Lin Xiamo, by her nature, would definitely charge forward without hesitation.

Even if he has two kids.

None of that would stop Lin Xiamo!

But now she can’t, their relationship is too complicated.

She finds it hard to convince herself to take that step!

Lin Moxuan doesn’t know his daughter Lin Xiamo’s inner thoughts, otherwise, Director Lin would definitely be bursting into tears.

Having three daughters.

Two of them like the "Huang Mao" type of men!

And coincidentally, this Huang Mao is the same person!

After going upstairs.

Lin Xiamo went back to her room hugging a pillow.

However, as she was changing her slippers, she heard a knock at the door in the hallway, judging from the volume, the door being knocked was the one to Shen Qiushan’s room opposite.

Lin Xiamo frowned, then quietly moved to the door, peeping out through the peephole.

As she guessed.

Sure enough, someone was knocking on Shen Qiushan’s door, and she knew the person—it was Liu Qingwu.

Because of the dormitory setting, the other was wearing a silk pajama set, seemingly well-covered.

But this kind of pajama is very body-hugging, accentuating the figure, especially given Liu Qingwu’s good personal condition, the pajama added more charm on her.

As Lin Xiamo was secretly observing, Shen Qiushan opened the door.

"Old Shen, I knew it was you returning."

"I saw the news online and wanted to chat with you."

Though she could only see Liu Qingwu’s back, Lin Xiamo could already imagine the flamboyant smile on her face.

This woman has ulterior motives!

Lin Xiamo frowned; as a woman, she naturally understands women better.

She has an innate ability to detect fake personas!

From the first meeting, she felt Liu Qingwu had "natural flirtatious eyes," not like an ordinary intern.

In conversations, nothing seemed over the line, but she could sense a whiff of pretense!

With a thud.

The door across closed.

Liu Qingwu had entered Shen Qiushan’s room!

And with the closing of that door.

Lin Xiamo’s heart instantly hung in suspense.

Lonely man and woman in the same room.

At this late hour!

Even if nothing happens, it’s hard for them not to develop feelings for each other.

Moreover, Liu Qingwu inherently has ulterior motives!

Lin Xiamo had initially intended to take a bath, but she stood at the door for a long time and couldn’t move her feet.

At this moment, she only felt an emptiness in her heart, as if something had been stolen.

It was uncomfortable, yet she was helpless.

Moreover, there was a sense of anxiety and insecurity!

What if they just decide on a relationship like that??

It’s not impossible.

Liu Qingwu is not lacking in qualifications; she’s also very young!

Ask, which old man can resist such a young, beautiful girl making a move.

It’s like placing a piece of meat in front of a big wolf.

Can you really expect it not to eat?

The night that was supposed to be joyful at the dormitory turned into an ordeal every minute and second!

Lin Xiamo gently bit her lip, eventually putting on her shoes and leaving her room.

However, she didn’t immediately knock on Shen Qiushan’s door, instead, she stood quietly at the door listening.

Perhaps eavesdropping is more apt!
