Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 200 - 146: Heartflutter!

Because Shen Qiushan defeated Instructor Li Jun in the push-up contest, Class One from the Electronic Department was given a half-hour break.

Just then, the ice cream Liu Qingwu bought was delivered. The students ate their ice cream while relaxing and chatting by the sports field.

Meanwhile, the students from other formations could only watch enviously and drool!

Instructor Li Jun was called over by Company Commander Peng to a distance. Although we couldn’t hear what they were saying, judging from Li Jun’s constant nodding, it was apparent he got scolded by Company Commander Peng.

Competing in push-ups with a student was actually no big deal. During the breaks of military training, instructors often interact with students.

But the problem was, he lost!

And he lost to Shen Qiushan, a 38-year-old man!

Although in reality, the opponent was indeed very strong, if this rumor spread, the guys in the brother companies wouldn’t delve into the reasons but instead, mock the result wildly.

Shen Qiushan sat in the shade, drinking the Eastern Leaves tea that Liu Qingwu handed to him, while Lin Xiamo and Liu Qingwu stood on his left and right sides.

"Old Shen, let those kids handle such matters next time!"

"Look at you, all exhausted and sweating!"

As Liu Qingwu spoke, she handed another tissue to Shen Qiushan.

"I’d like those kids to step up, but the point is they wouldn’t!"

Shen Qiushan said while wiping his sweat.

"Then you shouldn’t have gone either!"

Liu Qingwu "scolded" him with a bit of a tone like a girlfriend concerned about her boyfriend.

Lin Xiamo frowned at this scene. Yesterday she merely suspected Liu Qingwu might have feelings for Shen Qiushan, but now it was confirmed.

The young Counselor Liu indeed had a thing for Shen Qiushan!

But after the push-up contest, Lin Xiamo believed what Shen Qiushan said to her last night.

He is indeed in great shape!

Initially, Lin Xiamo worried that 38-year-old Shen Qiushan might struggle to keep up with the pace of military training.

Unexpectedly, not only did Shen Qiushan not struggle, but he also managed to win the instructor in the push-up contest!

He did 266 push-ups in one go.

Truly impressive!

Shen Qiushan and the other two were positioned away from the formation of Class One from the Electronic Department.

And at this moment, all the students were looking over to them, either intentionally or unintentionally.

"Isn’t that the Deputy Director Lin of the Youth League Committee? People on the forum say she’s the most beautiful teacher at Sanjiang University!"

"Yeah, yeah, I saw that post too, and I was skeptical at the time, but I guess I was too shallow!"

"In comparison, Director Liu isn’t as captivating anymore, and she was my target for tonight!"

"I admire no one but Old Shen. Just now, that was the real left embrace and right embrace, enjoying the blissful life of happiness!"

"I thought Old Shen and Director Liu were a great match, but now it seems Old Shen and Secretary Lin are even better together!"

To these university newcomers who just took off their high school uniforms, nothing is more attractive than this kind of gossip, especially in a dull environment like military training.

The morning’s military training ended.

Nicknamed as "military masters" by the senior students, the freshmen surged towards the cafeteria in a mighty crowd.

To prevent the two kids from drifting away from the small group in their class and dorm, Shen Qiushan had mentioned during yesterday’s meal that the father and two (children) need not move in sync with each other at school.

He encouraged them to fully enjoy their university life and even pretend he, their old dad, didn’t exist.

Shen Qiushan did the same thing himself.

So after military training, he didn’t specifically search for the two kids but instead headed to the cafeteria with his three roommates.

"Old Shen, you were truly awesome today! Even Xiaohai was less confident while scolding us later on!"

Feng Sicong exclaimed while walking.

He had said something similar several times already.

But for a hot-blooded young man of eighteen or nineteen years old like him, what Shen Qiushan did was truly inspiring!

It’s like an anime story coming to life.

"I guess even Xiaohai didn’t expect Uncle Shen to be this tough!"

Bao Beibei chimed in, unwilling to drop the "Uncle Shen" designation, obviously because he still had a crush on Shen Yanran!

And after several failed attempts to persuade him otherwise, Shen Qiushan let it be.

If he wants to call him that, then so be it.

After all, his daughter would never fancy this little chubby Bao Beibei!

"Old Shen, can I ask a gossipy question?"

Feng Sicong asked suddenly in a low voice.

"Go ahead and ask!"

Shen Qiushan shrugged indifferently.

"Are you dating Director Liu?" Feng Sicong asked with a mischievous look.

Upon hearing this, Bao Beibei perked up, and even Zhao Hongyu, who had been silent, edged closer to Shen Qiushan.

Shen Qiushan glanced at the three, chuckled, and shook his head: "Nothing like that!"

"Just like you, I only met Director Liu three days ago!"

"What about Secretary Lin?"

Feng Sicong asked curiously.

"I’m relatives with Secretary Lin!"

Shen Qiushan shot the kid a look, clearing up rumors to prevent these lads from making random guesses.

"Huh?"

"Relatives??"

Feng Sicong, Bao Beibei, and Zhao Hongyu were all very surprised.

They didn’t expect Shen Qiushan to be relatives with the stunning Deputy Director Lin.

No wonder she seemed to care so much about Shen Qiushan!

Arriving at the cafeteria,

Everywhere you looked, the "military masters" in camouflage uniforms were lining up in front of stalls.

This scene can only be seen during the start of the school year; once formal classes begin, this concentration of dining won’t happen.

Though Shen Qiushan could eat at the faculty cafeteria, he wanted to experience the sense of "enjoying with the masses," so he lined up with Feng Sicong and the others.

After a challenging time getting the food, finding a seat became another problem.

In the end, Feng Sicong found four vacant spots in a cafeteria corner but had to share the table with some unfamiliar girls.

And given the current situation, finding a seat was fortunate; no one minded these things.

However, when Shen Qiushan sat down with his tray, he noticed Xu Pipa among the girls sharing the table.

On Little Mushroom Head’s tray, as usual, there was a simple meal of two vegetable dishes and about three to four ounces of rice.

Of course, the free soup provided by the cafeteria was also a must!

Since it’s only three days into the new semester, most freshmen are acting as units by dormitory, and Xu Pipa was no exception. The short-haired girl sitting next to her, Shen Qiushan, had met Xu Pipa yesterday when she was escorted back to the dorm.

At the moment, Xu Pipa wasn’t paying any attention to the approaching Shen Qiushan.

She was silently devouring her meal, having been exhausted and famished from a morning of military training.

As she chewed on the romaine lettuce in her mouth, she suddenly noticed that there was an extra chicken leg on her tray.

Xu Pipa looked up in shock, tracing the direction from which the chopsticks came, and then she saw a familiar face.

"Uncle Shen!"

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Little Mushroom Head’s face.

"Eat more meat!"

"Otherwise, how will you grow?"

Shen Qiushan added two more pieces of spare ribs to Xu Pipa’s tray.

He knew this Little Mushroom Head was quite frugal.

Used to being thrifty.

In her view, two vegetable dishes and a bowl of free soup were already quite nice!

During the last two months of cramming for the college entrance exams, Xu Pipa almost daily received food deliveries from Shen Qiushan.

So she was not unfamiliar with the current situation and certainly didn’t reject it.

She kept a small notebook recording the debts owed!

She would definitely repay them in the future!

"Uncle Shen, what a coincidence!"

The short-haired girl sitting next to Xu Pipa took the initiative to speak.

Shen Qiushan was now a renowned figure at Sanjiang University.

Not only because of his identity as a 38-year-old top scorer in the college entrance exam, but since yesterday, he had been in the news for earning ten million by writing online novels, which went viral, sparking even broader discussions today.

The current domestic economic environment wasn’t very optimistic; many companies were laying off workers, and college graduates were having a hard time finding jobs.

A large number of unemployed people were worried about how to make money!

The news of Shen Qiushan earning 10 million from writing online novels brought attention to this niche industry.

Many people were contemplating joining the army of online writers!

The short-haired girl’s name was Han Tongtong. After Shen Qiushan’s news blew up yesterday, she had chatted with Xu Pipa about him, asking about their relationship and such.

She didn’t expect to meet Shen Qiushan, the campus celebrity, again today!

The other two roommates of Xu Pipa also looked at Shen Qiushan. Of course, they were aware of Shen Qiushan’s fame, and they all greeted him warmly.

Through chatting, it was known that one was named Zhang Xue and the other Ma Sihui.

Their personalities were noticeably more outgoing than Han Tongtong and Xu Pipa, leaning towards the extroverted type.

By the end of the meal, they had not only added Shen Qiushan on WeChat but also Feng Sicong and Bao Beibei.

3rd floor of the cafeteria.

Shen Yanran and Chen Jiahuan had just found an empty table after much effort.

Putting her tray on the table, Shen Yanran let out a long sigh: "Oh my, getting a meal is hardly easier than military training!"

"Right? There are way too many people. Let’s not eat in the cafeteria tomorrow!"

Chen Jiahuan took the Snow King lemon water she just bought and took a big gulp.

"Yeah, I think that’s a good idea!"

Shen Yanran nodded repeatedly: "At worst, we’ll just have instant noodles back in the dorm!"

"Yanran, Jiahuan, you guys are amazing! You actually found an empty table."

Just then, Guo Shanshan and Wang Shihan, Shen Yanran’s other two roommates, came over carrying their trays.

"Yanran, I just heard that your dad competed in a push-up contest with the instructor today and won, earning your class half an hour of rest time!"

After putting down her tray, Guo Shanshan said with a spirited look.

"Huh?"

"Really?"

The news spread only within the Electrical Class 1 and a few nearby formations during the military training and started to spread widely during lunch break.

"Remember they kept counting over there during military training!"

"It must have been at that time."

Wang Shihan chimed in, then marveled: "Yanran, your dad is amazing!"

"Writing an online novel and casually earning 10 million!"

"Winning a push-up contest against the instructor during military training!"

"This is what they call being talented in both literature and martial arts!"

Faced with her roommates’ compliments.

Shen Yanran felt a sense of pride, she pouted playfully: "Yeah, my dad is really awesome!"

"I’ve already decided, if I can’t find a job in the future, I’ll just rely on him!"

"Hehe, my dad totally spoils me!"

"So jealous!"

"I wish I had such a multi-talented dad!"

Chen Jiahuan genuinely exclaimed, having grown up lacking a father figure, she truly envied Shen Yanran.

Guo Shanshan and Wang Shihan also followed with a few exclamations.

The four girls chatted while eating, the fatigue from military training gradually dissipated amid the laughter.

"Look, look."

"Super handsome!!"

Wiping her mouth with a tissue, Chen Jiahuan’s eyes suddenly sparkled, and she nudged Shen Yanran lightly with her elbow.

When guys get together, they like to talk about pretty girls.

Similarly, when girls gather, they actually like to talk about handsome guys!

Shen Yanran instinctively followed Chen Jiahuan’s gaze, then was slightly stunned.

She wasn’t the type of girl to get easily starstruck, partly due to her own high appearance.

But the guy Chen Jiahuan pointed at was indeed very handsome!

The other was roughly 185 cm tall with fair skin like white jade, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and well-defined features.

He wore a simple white T-shirt on top, matched with light-colored jeans, and had a pair of white Warrior sneakers on his feet.

Though simply dressed, he exuded a clean and handsome vibe.

At the moment, he was looking around with a tray in his hands.

Their eyes met just as Shen Yanran was observing him.

She quickly looked away, her cheeks slightly flushing, and her heart suddenly skipping a few beats!
