At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Shen Qiushan returned to the room with the lovingly prepared breakfast. By this time, Lin Xiamo had already gotten dressed. She brushed a stray hair behind her ear, her gaze unconsciously falling on the breakfast in Shen Qiushan's hand.

"Are you hungry?"

"There is porridge and steamed buns."

Shen Qiushan, taking advantage of the situation, smiled and handed the breakfast in his hand to Lin Xiamo.

"Was this a gift from Liu Qingwu?"

"Well, Teacher Liu has been very kind to me."

Shen Qiushan said with a smile.

Lin Xiamo pouted but didn't say anything.

"Uh, last night."

Shen Qiushan wasn't the type to abandon someone after they'd done their bidding, especially since his relationship with Lin Xiamo was already quite solid.

"I will be responsible!"

Just as Shen Qiushan was thinking about how to organize his thoughts, Lin Xiamo suddenly chimed in.

"what?"

Shen Qiushan was confused.

He felt that he should be the one to say those words.

Lin Xiamo reached out and took the breakfast Shen Qiushan handed her, preparing to sit on the sofa to eat. But as soon as she took a step, she felt a tearing pain. She frowned slightly and said softly, "I woke up in the middle of the night. It was my choice!"

"Therefore, if anyone has to take responsibility, it's me!"

After saying that, Lin Xiamo walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Then she opened the takeout box. The porridge was still steaming, which showed that Liu Qingwu had put a lot of effort into it.

Shen Qiushan was stunned for a while before he reacted.

He said that in his dream, the other person "made the first move" and bumped into his arms.

Actually, it's easy to understand if you think about it a little. If Lin Xiamo didn't want to, the probability of Shen Qiushan succeeding in his seven-tenths drunk state was still very low.

"So how do you plan to take responsibility?"

Shen Qiushan walked into the living room and sat down next to Lin Xiamo.

"How about I give you a formal status?"

Lin Xiamo took a sip of porridge, then turned to look at Shen Qiushan.

"Uh"

Shen Qiushan's lips twitched.

It’s chaos, it’s all chaos!

Lin Xiamo was speaking his lines.

"I feel a little sorry for my sister."

Just as Shen Qiushan was in a daze, Lin Xiamo said quietly.

“Actually, if you just treat me, Yanran, and Xiaoxiao a little better, Chuxue will be very happy,” Shen Qiushan replied.

"We can't tell our families about this yet."

"Let's keep it a secret for now!"

Lin Xiamo had already decided that she and Shen Qiushan could only keep their relationship secret for now, since their relationship was a bit special and it would take time for everyone to accept it.

First up are the siblings Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao.

The two women had always had a good relationship with Lin Xiamo, but it still took some time to adjust from being her second aunt to her stepmother. However, this step was relatively easier for them.

The real challenge is getting past his father, Lin Moxuan.

If he finds out that he's really with Shen Qiushan, he might actually come after Shen Qiushan and fight him to the death!

This can be seen from his reaction after he found out the two of them had spent the night in the same room.

Moreover, Lin Xiamo has now resigned from Sanjiang University.

Either of these two pieces of news was "utterly heinous" in the eyes of their father, Lin Moxuan!

If her father heard both pieces of news at the same time, Lin Xiamo was really afraid that his heart wouldn't be able to take it, so she still had to proceed step by step.

"Listen to you."

Shen Qiushan was not prepared to confront Director Lin head-on.

However, he already had a plan in mind to "win over his father-in-law".

Corrupt them with "sugar-coated bullets" and cater to their preferences.

As long as Director Lin is kept happy, even if he finds out that he has abducted another of his daughters, he will most likely be too embarrassed to turn against him.

Shen Qiushan had a class in the first period of the morning, so after washing up, he hurriedly left the dormitory.

Since she had already submitted her resignation, Lin Xiamo wasn't in a hurry to go to the office.

It was said that there would be a week to hand over the work, but in reality, Lin Xiamo could finish handing over her work in less than a day.

After breakfast, Lin Xiamo threw the soiled sheets into the washing machine to change them into new ones, and then went back to bed for a nap.

She had used up a lot of energy last night, and she wouldn't have woken up at all if Liu Qingwu hadn't come to knock on the door.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already 10:30.

Lin Xiamo moved her limbs slightly, and the tearing sensation was not as strong as in the morning. Although it was still a little uncomfortable, it was within a tolerable range.

After waking up this time, her mental state was much better than before.

I habitually picked up my phone and glanced at it, only to find that the four sisters' WeChat group had exploded with over a hundred chat messages.

I even tagged her twice!

Lin Xiamo curiously flipped through the chat history and found that Hu Tingting and the other two had been talking in the group since around eight o'clock in the morning.

Hu Tingting: Momo, what kind of drink did your husband Lao Shen mix yesterday? It seemed really frivolous. Last night when I got home, I messed around with my husband Lao Zhou twice.

Zhu Xinyue: Was it the alcohol? I was wondering why I felt a bit off last night, but my skin looks much better when I woke up today!
Hu Tingting: It's definitely the alcohol that's the problem, because apart from the drink that Lao Shen mixed, everything else is something we eat every day, so how could it have such a great effect?

Zhu Xinyue: Brother Shen, this was premeditated, wasn't it? How is Momo? Did she lose her virginity last night?

Fang Di: I think Brother Shen's wine is good stuff. I feel very comfortable after waking up today, and my mental state is also exceptionally good. I was thinking of asking Brother Shen for some!
Hu Tingting: Needless to say, Lao Shen's cocktails are absolutely top-notch, it's just that my husband Lao Zhou simply can't handle them.

Hu Tingting: Where's Momo? Is she still asleep? It seems she slept with Lao Shen last night, otherwise, given her sleep schedule, she wouldn't be still not online at this hour.

Zhu Xinyue: Hahaha, it seems like the battle was quite intense last night! But Brother Shen looks to be in good health, I'm just worried that Momo might not be able to handle it.

Fang Di: If Momo really wins over Brother Shen, it will be a great thing to celebrate. After so many years, Momo will finally have a new life experience.

After reading the three people's chat history, Lin Xiamo realized that there was something wrong with the alcohol.

But for her, the wine actually played a supporting role; otherwise, she might not have had the courage to do it.

Therefore, their relationship could not make any substantial progress.

Someone as intelligent as Lin Xiamo had naturally thought carefully about how her relationship with Shen Qiushan should develop, and she concluded that it couldn't be done step by step.

Because of their special relationship, it would be difficult to proceed step by step like a normal couple, given the significant obstacles and dissenting opinions they would face. Therefore, Lin Xiamo had previously considered that for their relationship to undergo a significant change, the only way was to act decisively, make it a fait accompli, and then gradually overcome other hurdles.

Therefore, the alcohol was merely a trigger, giving Lin Xiamo an even better reason!

As clever as she was, she knew that Shen Qiushan was no longer the same person he used to be, and there were countless "little vixens" eyeing him. Making her move first was undoubtedly a wise choice.

Good men are fought over!
It's never something you just wait for!

Lin Xiamo naturally understood the principle that one should not hesitate at crucial moments.

the other side.

Classroom 309 in the teaching building.

Shen Qiushan's class was on electromagnetic fields and wireless technology, and the teacher was still Zhao Ruihai.

After class, Shen Qiushan was about to leave when Professor Zhao called him back.

"Xiao Shen, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

Zhao Ruihai spoke very politely.

"Professor Zhao, please speak."

Shen Qiushan responded politely.

"I'm assembling a team to prepare for the National Undergraduate Electromagnetic Field and Laser Technology Competition!"

"According to the rules, each team must have at least five people, and at least one freshman. I think only you can fill that freshman position. I wonder if you would like to participate?"

Zhao Ruihai didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Of course I do."

"It's good to learn something from others!"

Shen Qiushan readily agreed. He deduced from the 1v5 Go match that participating in various competitions was a good way to boost one's academic performance index.

If nothing unexpected happens, participating in the competition Zhao Ruihai mentioned should also boost one's academic performance index, especially since Shen Qiushan previously obtained the complete technology and blueprints for "laser weapons".

Furthermore, he is the actual owner of the Eyuanhang Laboratory, and these two resources in Shen Qiushan's hands will most likely come in handy in this competition.

So we have to agree!

For him, this was already a great joy.

"it is good!"

"I'll add you to the team group for this competition in a bit."

Seeing that Shen Qiushan had agreed, Zhao Ruihai immediately nodded.

The National Undergraduate Electromagnetic Field and Laser Technology Competition is a highly prestigious competition that is taken very seriously by universities.

Each university is not limited to sending only one team. As long as they have an attractive project and the project passes the preliminary review, they can form a team to participate in the competition.

In this competition, Sanjiang University alone had three teams participating, and Zhao Ruihai's team was generally not favored because Zhao Ruihai's idea was too advanced and gave people the feeling of wishful thinking.

However, since he passed the preliminary review, Sanjiang University will still give Zhao Ruihai some support. It doesn't matter if he doesn't win an award, at least Sanjiang University has three teams that can enter the finals.

That's already incredibly impressive!

Zhao Ruihai is known for his unconventional approach to personnel selection.

He not only recruited Shen Qiushan into his team, but the rest of them were also "monsters" from their respective grades!
Zhao Ruihai then chatted briefly with Shen Qiushan about the competition before leaving the teaching building.

Shen Qiushan went outside the "Red Rose Bar" to get his car and then drove directly into the city.

Lunch break arrived, and Shen Qiushan parked his car in front of the municipal government office building.

He carried a box of tea leaves and hummed a little tune as he knocked on the door of Lin Moxuan's office.

He had already decided that morning that he was determined to win over this father-in-law!
Otherwise, he would only be able to repeat the same mistake and actually abduct Lin Xiamo.

When he was young, Shen Qiushan couldn't understand Lin Moxuan's feelings. He felt that the other party looked down on him and was a feudal "old monster" and a high and mighty "Lord Guan"!
But now his thinking has completely changed; he is a father now, and he also has a daughter.

If his daughter Shen Yanran were to run off with some "young punk," Shen Qiushan would naturally want to kill that young punk!

How could I let my precious daughter fall into the hands of that blond-haired brat?

As for Lin Moxuan's "disdain" of him back then!
Looking back now, it was just human nature.

Marriage is about matching social status and background; this tradition has been passed down for thousands of years.

When he was young, Shen Qiushan also felt that the so-called "marrying someone of equal social standing" was a form of discrimination against poor boys from ordinary families like him!
As the saying goes, fortunes change every thirty years, so never underestimate a young person's potential!
However, such a plot can most likely only appear in novels or literary works.

The reality is that if the parents are poor, their children are unlikely to be rich either!

There are indeed people who defy fate through their own efforts, but they are extremely rare.

Most ordinary people are simply living the same ordinary lives as their parents.

Therefore, when choosing a marriage partner, being well-matched in terms of social status and background is naturally very important.

This way, the couple's quality of life after marriage will not change much, and both families will be on the same level, eliminating communication and cognitive barriers.

Therefore, from this perspective, there was absolutely no problem with Lin Moxuan's initial disagreement with his daughter being with Shen Qiushan.

In his youth, Shen Qiushan always harbored a burning desire to prove himself, but he suffered repeated defeats.

If it weren't for the help of external aids later on, Shen Qiushan would most likely still not have been able to make a comeback, which means that Lin Moxuan's previous choice was not wrong at all.

Therefore, Shen Qiushan no longer harbored the same resentment towards his father-in-law as he did back then. Now, he only wanted to improve his relationship with him as much as possible and get him to accept that he and Lin Xiamo were together.

"Akiyama, what brings you here?"

Lin Moxuan was on his way to the cafeteria for lunch when he saw Shen Qiushan and was quite surprised.

“The people from the Cultural Bureau made an appointment with me. Since I’m already here, of course I’ll come and see Dad first.”

Shen Qiushan replied with a smile, then placed the tea he had brought on Lin Moxuan's desk.

Of course, the tea was just something I picked up casually; the main attraction was the "little blue bottle."

Shen Qiushan then took out five small blue bottles from his pocket and placed them next to the tea leaves.

The little blue bottle is something you have to experience to know how good it is. It not only helps men regain their virility, but it also has a health-preserving and restorative effect on the body.

Lin Moxuan felt that his physical condition had been getting better and better recently. He didn't usually take any supplements, so based on his deduction, it must be the effect of the little blue bottle!

Therefore, he could be said to be "completely attached" to this thing!
Unfortunately, Shen Qiushan never gave him much, and he was too embarrassed to ask for more.

Since the supplies they had given him had run out, Lin Moxuan had been thinking of finding an opportunity to invite Shen Qiushan to his home for dinner these past two days, to see if the kid would be sensible enough to take the initiative to "replenish" the supplies.

Before an invitation could even be sent, Shen Qiushan thoughtfully showed up at the door himself.

"Is it Yu Qifeng who's looking for you?"

Lin Moxuan calmly put the small blue bottle into the drawer and placed the tea leaves on the bookshelf behind him.

"Yes, it's Director Yu."

Shen Qiushan nodded. Yu Qifeng was the director of the Cultural Bureau, and since Shen Qiushan won the Nebula Award, the Sanjiang City Cultural Bureau had frequently asked him to participate in various activities.

However, Shen Qiushan turned down most of them.

In order to have a legitimate reason to come and flatter him today, Shen Qiushan took the initiative to contact people from the Cultural Bureau and finalized the interview that he had promised but had not yet carried out.
