I'm a senior in high school, and the Emperor Development System has arrived!

Chapter 70 photoshopped me out, even though I was chained up next to him.
Based on Lu Mi's inner thoughts, Chen Zhou instantly understood her intentions.

A famously beautiful girl from the whole school came to deliver food to him, an unknown guy.

What a topical and misleading scene!

If an ordinary goblin saw that bright, smiling face amidst the cheers of the whole class, it would probably have already succumbed to its charm.

But this fall clearly hides endless dangers.

Putting aside everything else, the precedent of the junior being beaten is still fresh in everyone's mind.

As an elite goblin, Chen Zhou would never make such a basic mistake.

He slowly walked up to Lu Mi, revealing a smile:

"Cousin, thank you so much for making the trip."

Upon hearing this, both Lu Mi and her classmates froze.

what?
Is Lu Mi Chen Zhou's cousin?

In an instant, the way the other boys in the class looked at Chen Zhou changed.

Previously: Chen Zhou, you son of a bitch, you really deserve to die!
Now: Brother Zhou, we're best friends, please be sure to introduce your cousin to me!

Chen Zhou, driving his "Insightful Insight," observed these seemingly arrogant yet obsequious talents.

Only Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun knew the truth, and they still felt envious and jealous.

Unaware of the situation, Bai Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head with a faint smile.

[Bai Qianqian: So she's his cousin. No wonder she brought him food.]

If she is a cousin, then Lu Mi's identity and the act of delivering food would make sense.

It's too big for a beaver!

Only Lu Mi's eyes showed a deep sense of doubt.

No, when did she become Chen Zhou's cousin?

An ordinary person might not be able to understand the deeper meaning in Chen Zhou's words.

But the perceptive Lu Mi clearly sensed Chen Zhou's unspoken meaning:
"It's best to keep our distance while we're at school. I'm not interested in you, junior Lu Mi~"

Lu Mi could understand Chen Zhou's attempt to avoid suspicion, but it was precisely this unspoken implication of ignoring her charm that made her feel particularly uncomfortable.

Lu Mi has always understood herself.

Her gentle and considerate persona is merely a label that exists between people.

But in reality, she has always only been proud.

She can manipulate everything around her at will, whether it's studying or interpersonal relationships.

From childhood to adulthood, there's nothing she can't do if she sets her mind to it.

She was seen as a prodigy by everyone.

She is Lu Mi.

But from yesterday to today, Lu Mi felt that she had suffered the greatest Waterloo in her past and present lives.

Holding the lunchbox in her hand, she looked at Chen Zhou, who had a smile on his lips but was actually keeping everyone at arm's length, and felt humiliated for the first time in her life.

[Lu Mi: Senior Chen Zhou, it seems I have to get serious. Let's see how many rounds you can last! Why can't you just be my good puppy? You're really naughty!]

Lu Mi gently bit her lip, handed over the lunchbox with one hand, and said softly:

"Senior, remember to eat on time."

Chen Zhou nodded and was about to take the lunchbox.

Just then, the system sounded an alarm:

[Danger!! Danger!!]

[The strength of the Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden is increasing; an upgrade in mission difficulty has been detected. An additional mission has been issued.]

[After the emergence of the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult, Your Majesty fought her fiercely. Now she is about to use all her charms to bewitch Your Majesty. I urge Your Majesty to remain steadfast and not let the Great Chen Dynasty be destroyed by the witch.]

[From this day forward, before Your Majesty subdues the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult, for each time Your Majesty resists her allure, you will be rewarded with one hundred Imperial Might.]

【…】

After handing the lunchbox to Chen Zhou, Lu Mi tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled sweetly.

That laugh stunned countless goblins in Class 8.

[Li Bin: If this were a photo, it would definitely be photoshopped. They even photoshopped me out, the one chained next to me.] [Stephen Chow: So beautiful. If someone like this wanted to marry me, I'd be willing to give her a dowry of 200 million.]

Bai Qianqian: Something seems off, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

【…】

After leaving behind a breathtaking smile, Lu Mi departed.

Li Bin stared intently at her retreating figure.

[Li Bin: Mom, don't go! I'm at the age where I need a mother's love!]

After she left, Chen Zhou was surrounded by the boys in her class:
"Brother, is our sister still single?"

"Brother Zhou, to be honest, the moment I saw our sister, I already knew which kindergarten our child would go to."

"I'll give you a 198 Ninja Scroll, can you exchange it for my sister's WeChat?"

"..."

In an instant, countless questions surrounded me.

Chen Zhou chuckled:
"Prepare at least 800,000 yuan as a bride price, or don't bring this up."

Upon hearing this, the goblins remembered where they were and left dejectedly.

The bell rings.

Everyone watched as Chen Hui walked into the classroom and then watched as Chen Zhou walked out.

Li Bin pointed at Chen Zhou's retreating figure, feeling resentful:

"Why can Chen Zhou skip class so openly? That's not fair!"

Chen Hui chuckled:
"Fair? Then Li Bin, you go to the office and recite the text too."

Ever since.

The one-person punishment in the office has been changed to a two-person punishment.

Li Bin held the book and sighed:

Why is my mouth so foul?

Chen Zhou raised his hand and asked:

"Do you need me to punish you?"

Li Bin gave an awkward smile:
"No need, no need."

Not long after, Stephen Chow also came in with a book.

The two were somewhat taken aback:

"Why are you here too?"

Stephen Chow flicked his bangs and said:
"I can't stand being in your classes; they're so boring."

The abstract trio reunited, and at first they pretended to recite their lessons, but once they started talking, they couldn't stop.

Li Bin looked out the window and suddenly sighed:

"Tomorrow is the freshman military training. Time flies. Three years of high school have passed in the blink of an eye."

Chen Zhou patted him on the shoulder and kindly reminded him:

"Let's think about how to get through this senior year of high school. There are still 289 days until the college entrance exam."

Stephen Chow hung his head and sighed.

"I really can't read a single book. I only scored 345 on the entrance exam. I'm going to fail the special admissions exam. I suspect I've been set up by capital."

Chen Zhou comforted him:
"Lun, don't be pessimistic. Studying is just one way out. You are not without merits."

"for example?"

Zhou Xinglun raised his head, wanting to hear what Chen Zhou had to say.

Chen Zhou stroked his chin and said affirmatively:

"To like a young girl without disliking her for her youthful innocence is righteousness; to like a young married woman without disliking her for having been married before is propriety; to like a mature woman without disliking her for her age and maturity is wisdom; to like an internet celebrity without disliking her for not being able to be with her is trustworthiness!"

"To possess all four of these qualities is benevolence! We possess benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, so why should we worry about not having a way out?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xinglun wiped away the tears in his eyes and looked at Li Bin, saying:
"That's right, we must always love and always believe! Believe that young girls and young women will one day come to our side."
