This humble Taoist priest wants to take the college entrance exam.

Chapter 95 Who is the voice in the video? (Long chapter, please vote!)

There's nothing I can do about handing in a blank math test this week...

In fact, you can guess on multiple-choice questions, but for Chen Shi'an, guessing right or wrong makes no difference.

Instead of worrying about how many points you can get on the weekly test, you should take advantage of the time while everyone else is doing the weekly test to continue learning his junior high school math.

When the bell rang to signal the end of evening self-study, Chen Shi'an took out a few milk candies, placed them on the desk of the class monitor who was watching him, and quickly slipped away.

back home.

The air was filled with the sweet aroma of mung bean soup, but this time it had a slightly stronger flavor of dog liver compared to the last time.

Unlike wild mushrooms, wild vegetables can be stored in the refrigerator for a while. Since she had some free time after get off work, Li Wanyin used these wild vegetables to cook a pot of mung bean sweet soup with the taste of her childhood.

"Did Sister Wanyin make mung bean soup?"

"Yes, it's ready to eat after cooling down a bit."

Chen Shi'an always arrived home on time, almost always exactly 10 o'clock. Over time, this became a daily biological clock point for Li Wanyin.

She would finish showering and doing laundry before 10 o'clock so as not to fight for the bathroom after he came back. If she wanted to cook something, she would make sure the sweet soup was ready just as he returned.

Because of their different time zones, Chen Shi'an had never seen Li Wanyin leave for work or come home from get off work. It was as if he had the illusion that she stayed at home all day.

The two sat down at the table, and Chen Shi'an picked up the bowl of lukewarm mung bean soup and slurped a mouthful.

"Delicious."

Chen Shi'an nodded and said, "Sister Wanyin probably picked out the stems of the dog liver vegetable after it was cooked, right?"

"You even know that!"

"Yes, you can tell the difference. The taste is quite different when you boil only the leaves versus when you boil them with the stems. The stems have a stronger cooling effect. When I cook them myself, I boil them together and then pick them out later."

"Your tongue is amazing..."

Li Wanyin admired it and took a bite herself. "I can't really taste the difference, but my mom has always cooked it this way."

"How was Wanyin's work today?" Chen Shi'an asked curiously.

"feel good."

Li Wanyin got up to get her backpack, then took out a work badge to show him.

"what is this?"

"Employee badge, that's what you wear when you're at the company."

Chen Shi'an curiously picked up her employee badge and examined it. It was a style that hung around her neck, and inside was just a paper card with the company name and her job information printed on it, along with a one-inch photo of her.

The one-inch photo has a blue background. I don't know when Li Wanyin took it. She is sitting very upright, smiling, and wearing a very professional white shirt.

Chen Shi'an looked at the photo, then at Li Wanyin in front of him, blinked, and seemed to be smiling.

Seeing that he kept staring at the photo, Li Wanyin felt embarrassed and reached out to take her employee ID card away, not letting him see it.

"When was this photo of Sister Wanyin taken?"

"It was a few months ago. I took these photos specifically so I could put them on my resume when looking for a job."

"You look very professional. I've never seen you wear that white shirt before."

"Hehe, I'm not used to wearing it. I bought one specifically in case I needed it, but I only wore it for the photoshoot..."

"Does your company require employees to wear any kind of uniform or similar work attire?"

"No need for that. Just wear normal clothes. The sales staff at the company will require you to wear a suit."

This was Li Wanyin's first official job and her first day at work, so naturally she had a lot of feelings to share. She also took a lot of photos, and seeing that Chen Shi'an was interested, she took out her phone to show him.

There are many photos, such as the office environment, her own workstation, and the fast food she ate for lunch today.

The backpack also contained a notebook and pen with the company logo printed on them, which is provided to every new employee.

Chen Shi'an opened her notebook, which contained her neat handwriting, recording her work content, precautions, and key points for new employee training.

She also joined the company's work group and installed an app called Dingding. Li Wanyin opened the app to show him how to clock in and how to submit an application report if she needed to ask for leave.

Chen Shi'an had never worked a regular job, but these changes had affected Li Wanyin, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that Sister Wanyin is now a real office worker."

"Haha, yeah, I feel like I'm starting to smell like a classmate."

What does "class flavor" taste like?

"The unique flavor of working-class people!"

Chen Shi'an was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and asked with a smile, "Is Sister Wanyin busy with work today?"

"Today was alright, mostly training and learning. This week will be the same. There will be training and assessment later. Only after passing the assessment will you be officially employed. Then there will be a one-month probation period, followed by another assessment to determine your eligibility and performance rating."

"Sister Wanyin, are you confident?"

"Of course!"

"Then Wanyin, keep up the good work and get your job settled as soon as possible. You can work during the day and set up a stall at night to experience being your own boss."

Hearing Chen Shi'an's words, Li Wanyin chuckled. "Getting a stable job early so you can set up a stall? What kind of career path is that?"

Although it was her first day at work and there wasn't much to do, it was still a new environment and new things to experience, so Li Wanyin was inevitably a little tired. However, after sharing her experience with Chen Shi'an, she became full of energy again.

Chen Shi'an went to take a shower, and Li Wanyin didn't go back to her room either. Instead, she took the training materials she brought back from the company and sat cross-legged on the sofa to read them.

After taking a shower, Chen Shi'an sat down on the sofa.

The three-seater sofa had Fei Mo occupying one seat, Li Wanyin sitting in the middle, and Chen Shi'an sitting on the left. The space wasn't exactly crowded, but it still exceeded the usual social distancing guidelines.

The floor fan in the living room blew air from Chen Shi'an's side, bringing with it the refreshing scent of his shower.

Li Wanyin, who was looking at the training materials, was distracted for a moment. She reached out her finger and gently tucked the strands of hair that had been ruffled by the wind behind her ear.

Chen Shi'an brought over a plate of washed grapes. Uncle Lin had given them a lot of fruit that day, and they couldn't finish it all. When he wasn't around, Li Wanyin was too embarrassed to eat them herself, so he always had to urge her to eat them.

The two ate grapes one by one, while Chen Shi'an looked down and turned on his phone.

Several more friend requests appeared on my WeChat, all from my classmates.

Now that he's the class's psychology representative, his classmates seem rather reserved, and so far no one has come forward to tell him about their difficulties.

Remembering the Douyin post he made that morning, Chen Shi'an opened Douyin and took a look.

To his surprise, the "mountain-chasing photo series" on Douyin actually got quite a few likes. The account only had a little over 8,000 followers, but this video already had over 600 likes and quite a few comments.

Some asked him where he picked the wild mushrooms, some asked him how he cooked them, and others asked him what the pine cones were for.

Now that there was WiFi at home, Chen Shi'an thought for a moment and then uploaded the video of making pine nut candy that Li Wanyin had sent him last night.

[The first thing to do is to make the syrup...]
[You continue! I'll record a video so I can learn to do it myself later...]
As the familiar voice rang out in the video, Li Wanyin turned her head and curiously leaned over to take a look.

"Shi'an, did you post the video on Douyin?"

"Yeah, just sharing whatever comes to mind."

"That's pretty good! You have over 8,000 followers on Douyin now. Like your PE teacher, you can share some fun content and earn some pocket money. I saw the mountain-chasing photos you posted this morning, and they seemed to get a lot of likes."

"Hey, did Sister Wanyin see it too?"

"I've followed you."

Li Wanyin put down the training materials in her hand and opened her Douyin account.

Without her even having to click on it, big data directly pushed the video of Chen Shi'an making pine nut candy that she had just posted to her interface, with a [Special Attention] icon next to it.

Li Wanyin was quick-witted and immediately liked the video that Chen Shi'an had just posted.

"Special attention? Sister Wanyin is paying that much attention to me?"

"...Haha! I just wanted to see what you usually post!"

"Which Douyin account is Wanyin's? I'll follow you too."

"I rarely post on Douyin..."

"Which one?"

"Even Douyin friends aren't very useful..."

"Which one?"

Chen Shi'an seemed oblivious to her polite refusal and continued to press for answers.

Seeing that he insisted, Li Wanyin had no choice but to tell him the Douyin number.

Chen Shi'an searched and found a list of users named [Little Echo].

He didn't even need to ask Li Wanyin which one was her, because the first one in the list was the same profile picture that Li Wanyin used on WeChat before. Her WeChat profile picture was now a riverside photo that Chen Shi'an took for her, while Douyin was still using the old one.

"Let me take a good look at what Sister Wanyin usually posts—"

"..."

Li Wanyin was certain that Chen Shi'an had said those words on purpose!

Give your sister some privacy, you know!

Even if you want to see, you can go back to your room and peek secretly, but don't keep peeking in front of people like this!
As online social platforms, places like Douyin and Xiaohongshu often prioritize 'privacy' more than WeChat Moments.

Humans are so strange. Many people are afraid that their family and friends will know about certain things, but they don't mind strangers knowing about them; while some people don't mind their friends and family knowing about certain things, but are afraid that strangers will know about them.

In modern society, if you have friends on two or more social media platforms besides QQ and WeChat, then you are truly a close friend.

The only purpose of having friends on Douyin is not for chatting, but for tagging others when you find a funny video.

Ever since Li Wanyin made that statement in the group that she wanted to get rich quickly and support a male high school student, she now receives several system notifications every day from her best friends tagging her to watch male high school students... Chen Shi'an is the first and only male friend that Li Wanyin has on both WeChat and Douyin.

Fortunately, Chen Shi'an only saw the [Little Echo] account information on his phone. Otherwise, if he had seen those videos that his girlfriends usually shared, he would definitely have thought that something was wrong with his sister. Would she have wanted to watch those videos?

"Sister Wanyin has posted so many Douyin videos, and she said she rarely posts them."

"..."

Chen Shi'an was somewhat surprised when he saw the more than thirty Douyin videos on [Xiao Huiyin]'s profile.

He casually clicked on the first piece of work.

It was a work published on May 23rd of this year.

The content is a song.

A song sung by Li Wanyin herself.

The interface is the lyrics screen of a karaoke app; the song is only one line long, a few tens of seconds.

As the accompaniment began, the cursor on the lyrics screen started moving, and then Li Wanyin's singing voice floated out.

What to do on a rainy day?
[I miss you so much--]
[I don't dare call you - I can't find a reason]
……

Chen Shi'an didn't fast forward a single second; he just listened to the song clip, which was several tens of seconds long, with the speakers on, right in front of Li Wanyin.

"Sister Wanyin sings very well."

Chen Shi'an praised him sincerely.

Although he rarely listens to these pop songs, he has an excellent ear for music and never picks and chooses songs.

He had never heard of the original singer of this song. The first time he heard it was sung by Li Wanyin, and he really thought it was sung quite well. Li Wanyin's gentle and melodious voice was indeed a perfect match for this type of song.

"..."

Faced with his praise, the older sister beside him seemed deaf and showed no reaction whatsoever.

She looked down at the training materials in her hands, and only occasionally, when the floor fan mischievously blew a strand of hair across her cheek, did her already red ears and pretty face become visible.

"Who is Wanyin thinking of on this rainy day?"

"...That's just lyrics! It's definitely not true! Duh!"

Upon hearing Chen Shi'an's words, Li Wanyin, whose face was already flushed with embarrassment, quickly retorted, fearing that he would continue to misunderstand.

Singing has always been her hobby, but she rarely sings in front of others; she just plays around with karaoke apps and such.

Later, when Douyin (TikTok) came out, she also tried posting some of her recordings and screen recordings from karaoke apps on it. They were all like this piece, without showing her face. Occasionally, someone would like or comment on them, which made her quite happy. She treated it as a form of entertainment.

In fact, this field is ridiculously competitive. There are many good-looking people and many good singers. You really can't become popular without some other means.

Li Wanyin strongly disliked this approach; she preferred to earn money honestly and practically.

Therefore, she has never shown her face online, and even though she has changed her profile picture on WeChat, she hasn't changed her Douyin profile picture either.

Chen Shi'an continued to look at the other works on Li Wanyin's account. They were all recordings and screen recordings from karaoke software, with some having hundreds of likes and others only a dozen or so. They were all purely singing and sharing.

Several frequently appearing IDs in the comments section posted exaggerated comments such as: "[It's so good! I love it! [Lewd][Lewd]]"
But Li Wanyin only replied to these few IDs, and her replies were either some equally exaggerated emojis or a string of ellipses.

Chen Shi'an clicked on those IDs and looked at them. They were all female, and the addresses were all local.

I guess she's a good friend of Sister Wanyin.

Li Wanyin's likes list was not closed. Chen Shi'an took a look and saw that his sister usually liked to like cute pet videos, some amazing transition videos, movie reviews, secret adventure videos, and so on.

Chen Shi'an watched with great interest, while Li Wanyin was so embarrassed that she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

After listening to a few songs at random, Chen Shi'an finally exited her personal interface. In his own following list, [Xiao Huiyin] became the first person he followed on Douyin, just like on WeChat, and the two of them also showed a mutual following interaction icon.

Li Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief when she finally heard her singing stop coming from his phone. She was so embarrassed.

I'll listen to the rest of the songs when I have time.

"...It's okay if you're not available."

"Sister Wanyin hasn't released a new song in a long time."

"I've been so busy lately, how could I have time to sing..."

After feeling embarrassed for half the night, the older sister finally sighed with the wisdom of someone who's been there: "Let's focus on making money first before thinking about hobbies. It's getting late, time for bed!"

After saying that, Li Wanyin got up from the sofa and went back to her room.

She closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, quickly opened Douyin (TikTok), turned off the like list, deleted the songs... Oh well, she'll just listen to them.

……

Twelve o'clock in the evening.

An hour after the lights in room 901 had been turned off, Wen Zhixia finally put down her pen and put the test paper into her backpack.

Like a drunkard, she swayed and limply fell onto the bed.

With a small touch, she turned off the bedside lamp.

Another light shone on her phone screen, reflecting off her small face.

Even when I'm really tired, I always have to use my phone before bed, even if it's just for a few minutes.

There's been no news from WeChat.

Open Douyin.

The video of Chen Shi'an making pine nut candy that he had just posted popped up.

She had been secretly following Chen Shi'an on Douyin for a long time, but she hadn't told him that she had left a comment on the video of Baduanjin that Teacher Wan posted.

[The first thing to do is to make the syrup...]
In the video, Chen Shi'an was making pine nut candy, and she has now eaten it. She didn't expect that this stinky Taoist priest would also make a video of himself making pine nut candy.

Watching him make pine nut candy in bed like this was a wonderful feeling. Wen Zhixia perked up and decided to watch the whole video before going to sleep.

She was so sleepy that she didn't even think about who had filmed the video for her.

[You continue! I'll record a video so I can learn to do it myself later...]
The sudden appearance of a female voice in the video dispelled some of Wen Zhixia's drowsiness.

It's a very pleasant and gentle voice.

Wen Zhixia rubbed her eyes, propped herself up, and swiped the progress bar to rewind the video and listen to the woman's voice again.

Wow! It smells so good!
Whose voice?

The girl was alert for a moment, then her sleepy mind finally came to its senses... Oh! His roommate!
You scared me...

I thought it was Lin Mengqiu...

Wen Zhixia lay back down.

After watching the video, she swiped to the left and went to Chen Shi'an's homepage.

She had already liked the photos Chen Shi'an posted this morning of hiking, and she also liked the video just now.

Look at that stinky Taoist priest's fans, he's got almost nine thousand already...

Huh?
When did he get a new follower?
Wen Zhixia clicked into Chen Shi'an's list of followers and saw a user named [Little Echo].

Following the trail, she clicked into Xiao Huiyin's account to take a look.

My favorites list is locked, but there are still quite a few Douyin videos on it.

Xiao Huiyin has very few fans, only a little over a thousand, and her videos get very few likes, so she is clearly not an internet celebrity.

Could it be Lin Mengqiu?
Wen Zhixia randomly clicked on a work.

Beautiful singing voice.

A familiar voice...

That sounds so familiar! That sounds so familiar!

Ah! It's Chen Shi'an's roommate!
Comparing the audio in Wen Zhixia's two videos, this little echo is none other than Chen Shi'an's roommate!
Unfortunately, she searched through Xiao Huiyin's account thoroughly but couldn't find any selfies or everyday photos. Judging from common sense about surfing the internet, people who don't show their faces are probably not good-looking...

However, it seems that the stinky Taoist priest and his roommate have a pretty good relationship; she helps him film videos and they follow each other on social media...

The girl's big eyes darted around.

Recalling what Chen Shi'an said—[He's about four or five years older than us, and he's already graduated and working]
Well……

Nothing happened.

I'm so sleepy! Time for bed!

With her heavy eyelids finally closing, she tossed her phone onto the pillow, burrowed into the covers, and fell fast asleep…

……

A teacher's dormitory at midnight.

Lin Mengqiu, who had just finished a day of studying, was eating pine nut candy while watching the video that Chen Shi'an had just posted on Douyin.

You know what, the pine nut candy in my hand tastes even better when eaten with this video.

While eating, she made the same voyeuristic gesture as Wen Zhixia.

When she saw that the little echo was not Wen Zhixia, but Chen Shi'an's roommate, she felt relieved.

Anyway, Chen Shi'an didn't know which account she used.

So Lin Mengqiu, who never liked anyone's posts, gave him a thumbs up.

After liking it, he also left a comment:
[Pine nut candy is really delicious! So good! So good!]
