Peerless Cupid System

Feeling uncomfortable, frustrated, and embarrassed, I had no choice but to leave!

Episode 18, I'm sorry, I'm awesome!

Chapter 141 You can't compare to the last place!

Shen Guomin and Bai Yuqin urged Zhang Hua to stay for lunch before leaving.

But Zhang Hua insisted on leaving, and he was too ashamed to stay any longer.

Since that was the case, the two got up and saw him off.

Shen Qiaoyan reached out and grabbed the Parker gold pen from the coffee table, then grinned and slipped into the room.

The old man smiled at Ling Ziqian and asked, "Do you know how to play chess?"

"No." Ling Ziqian shook his head.

"I think you can." The old man got up and walked towards the study.

It seems he wants to talk to me.

Ling Ziqian followed the old man into the study with trepidation.

The old man was so old and shrewd; he saw right through what had just happened.

He'll probably ask about medicine or something like that. How should I answer him?

Ling Ziqian had a terrible headache.

The old man sat down in the study and fiddled with the chess pieces, ready to play.

Ling Ziqian quickly waved his hand, "Teacher, I really don't know how to play chess."

The old man glanced at Ling Ziqian helplessly, "You young people nowadays all like electronic products. You've almost forgotten everything our ancestors invented."

Ling Ziqian scratched his head awkwardly. He actually knew how to play chess, but he was too embarrassed to lose face in front of the old man.

Since he didn't know how, the old man didn't make things difficult for Ling Ziqian.

He tidied up the chessboard. "That Zhang Hua might have some crooked ideas, but don't worry, I'll find a chance to talk to him."

This meant there was no need to worry about Zhang Hua keeping an eye on the medicine. Ling Ziqian quickly thanked him.

The old man looked at Ling Ziqian and said, "The news said that Chen Mailong was arrested. I know what happened. It seems like you have quite a few secrets."

Ling Ziqian's back was covered in cold sweat, worried about being questioned by the old man.

“But what young person doesn’t have a few secrets?” The old man chuckled, gesturing for Ling Ziqian to relax. “You have secrets, you possess great abilities, and although I’d ​​love to know, you certainly won’t tell me…”

"I've been seen through from beginning to end," Ling Ziqian said with an awkward smile.

“I’ve been watching movies on the computer lately, like you young people,” the old man smiled. “You’ve seen Spider-Man, haven’t you?”

"Mm." Ling Ziqian nodded quickly.

"So, you must be very familiar with that line from the movie. That's what I want to remind you of."

Although the old man spoke casually, his words carried a profound meaning.

With great power comes great responsibility. This is the most famous line from the Spider-Man movies, and it's also what the old man wanted to say.

Ling Ziqian was somewhat stunned when the old man said those words to him.

He was touched by the care shown to him. He also couldn't help but think about the future.

What will my future be like?

The old man suddenly looked towards the door. "Stop eavesdropping, come in."

Shen Qiaoyan hopped into the study with a grin, "I was just passing by. Grandpa, what do you need Master for? To play chess? Hmph, Master will definitely beat you soundly!"

Ling Ziqian was sweating profusely. This guy trusted him way too much!

The old man chuckled but didn't say anything. He looked at Ling Ziqian and Shen Qiaoyan with a somewhat ambiguous gaze.

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know how to play chess," Ling Ziqian quickly explained.

"No way, hehe, I know how to play, Master, let me teach you!" Shen Qiaoyan reached for the chess pieces.

The old man quickly put away the chessboard and chess pieces, worried that Shen Qiaoyan would ruin them.

He changed the subject, "Where's the gold pen that Ziqian won? Why did you take it without permission?"

"The gold pen was a gift from my master. Unlike you, Grandpa, who is stingy, my master doesn't even give me a ballpoint pen, let alone a gold pen!" Shen Qiaoyan said angrily.

"..." The old man was so angry at Shen Qiaoyan that he blew his beard and glared at her.

Seeing Shen Qiaoyan acting all high and mighty, Ling Ziqian quickly tried to smooth things over. This girl, really, can't she be a little nicer to her grandfather?

"Master, ignore him, go play in my room!"

"that……"

Ling Ziqian wanted to say something, but the lively Shen Qiaoyan pulled him away.

The old man, who had been looking annoyed, laughed as he watched the two leave.

Shen Qiaoyan closed the door and handed Ling Ziqian a game controller, asking him to play games with her.

Ling Ziqian was exasperated. He tossed aside the game controller and tapped her on the head.

"Stop hitting my head, I'll become stupid! If you keep doing that, I'll punch you to pieces!" Shen Qiaoyan complained, clutching her head.

"You've always been an idiot!" Ling Ziqian said with a dark face. "I'm leaving."

Why are you leaving?

"I'm a guest, what kind of behavior is it for me to sneak into your room?"

"Mom told you to treat this place like your own home, why are you being so polite!"

"That's just polite talk!"

"..."

Just as the two were talking, they heard a sound from outside, indicating that guests had arrived.

Ling Ziqian and Shen Qiaoyan walked to the door, opened the door a crack, and looked outside.

A bald old man and a boy wearing glasses entered the living room.

The bespectacled man was carrying gifts and appeared humble and polite.

Shen Guomin and Bai Yuqin quickly greeted them.

Shen Qiaoyan chuckled and tugged at Ling Ziqian's sleeve, "Look, my mom didn't tell that Sun Xiangtian to treat this place like his own home!"

Ling Ziqian was speechless. "Are they your relatives or neighbors?"

"We're neighbors, we both live in this neighborhood."

"What's with that guy carrying gifts? Is it some kind of holiday today, or is he here to propose marriage?"

"..." Shen Qiaoyan looked at Ling Ziqian speechlessly, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "Master is jealous!"

Ling Ziqian blushed immediately, "Eat my foot! I was just joking, you have no sense of humor at all!"

Shen Qiaoyan chuckled again, "Master, I was just joking, okay? Why are you so nervous?"

After being stabbed, Ling Ziqian immediately vomited blood.

In the living room, the bald old man started shouting, "Xiao Tian is studying in Rongcheng and rarely comes back, only once a month. Today is Saturday, so he sneaked back. He heard that Qiao Yan's studies have improved, so he came to visit and brought some local specialties."

"Hehe, you've come to see me!" Shen Qiaoyan smiled at Ling Ziqian, "Master, are you jealous?"

"Eat your big head, you idiot!" Ling Ziqian said with a dark face.

"You're just jealous!" Shen Qiaoyan laughed happily. "It shows that Master values ​​me a lot and cares about me. He truly is my good buddy!"

As she said this, Shen Qiaoyan pouted and kissed Ling Ziqian on the cheek.

Ling Ziqian was stunned. This guy had been kissing his cheek a lot lately.

To be honest, Ling Ziqian even had some doubts about whether this guy was...

"Don't think like that!" Shen Qiaoyan blushed and lightly punched Ling Ziqian. "You gave me such an expensive gold pen, I have no way to repay you, so I just kissed you, it's no big deal."

"Oh." Ling Ziqian scratched his head awkwardly.

The old man also went outside. The bald old man looked around and said, "Hey, where's Qiaoyan? Did she go out to play?"

"That boring old man, he brought his grandson here to show off. That Sun Xiangtian is a student at a prestigious university's affiliated high school, a stark contrast to me." Shen Qiaoyan complained, opening the door and walking out with a grin, "Grandpa Sun, you're here! And with your glasses!"

Ling Ziqian was speechless. He had thought Shen Qiaoyan was easygoing and carefree, but...

I really don't know how to describe it. Shaking his head, Ling Ziqian also walked out of the room.

The grandfather and grandson were somewhat surprised to see Ling Ziqian come out of Shen Qiaoyan's room.

"This is Ling Ziqian, my mentor. Thanks to him, my grades have improved!" Shen Qiaoyan said with a smile, linking her arm with Ling Ziqian's.

"Oh?" The bald old man and Sun Xiangtian, who wore glasses, were quite surprised.

"It seems Ziqian's grades are quite good; he's even able to help Qiaoyan." The bald old man smiled broadly. "Which school does Ziqian attend, Haitang Middle School?"

In the entire city of Haitang, Haitang Middle School is the best in terms of academic performance and teaching quality.

Unless you attend Haitang Middle School, most students in Haitang City wouldn't dare say they have excellent grades.

The bald old man guessed that Ling Ziqian was a student at Shilian Middle School, but deliberately asked Ling Ziqian if he was a student at Haitang Middle School.

Shen Guomin and Bai Yuqin both knew the bald old man's personality, and they were worried that Ling Ziqian would be unhappy.

Before Ling Ziqian could speak, the old man spoke up for him, "Ziqian is a student at Shilian Middle School. In the last monthly exam, he ranked tenth in the humanities class."

This result is already quite good.

But the bald old man chuckled and looked down on people. "The humanities class at Shilian Middle School only has five or six hundred students, while Xiaotian's science class has more than a thousand. He came in third place in the last exam."

"Although they came in third place, don't underestimate them. The entire school is full of top students. If you put their last-place student in Shilian Middle School, they'd probably come in first!"

Ling Ziqian was speechless. This old man really dared to say that, directly mocking him, saying that he was not even as good as the last place!
