Peerless Cupid System

The bald old man's words made everyone a little embarrassed.

The old man was a teacher at Shilian Middle School, and this bald old man's rambling really annoyed him.

But he smiled and didn't say anything, looking at Ling Ziqian to see how that guy would handle such a situation.

Shen Guomin and Bai Yuqin were quite embarrassed, and they looked at Ling Ziqian with some shame.

Ling Ziqian finally managed to come to the house, but Zhang Hua, who had ill intentions, made things difficult for him. Now, the bald old man is belittling him again.

They were worried that Ling Ziqian would be angry. Ling Ziqian was Shen Qiaoyan's great benefactor, and the benefactor of the whole family!

Shen Qiaoyan wanted to refute, but didn't know how.

After all, Shilian Middle School isn't even considered a key high school, while Sun Xiangtian attends the affiliated high school of a top university—it's extremely prestigious!

Ling Ziqian smiled but didn't say anything. Let him show off if he wants.

No one spoke, and the bald old man was in an extremely good mood.

Seeing the gifts on the coffee table, he immediately curled his lip. "It's obviously just some cheap stuff from the supermarket. Old man Shen, look at the gift my grandson bought for you. This is tea, a specialty of Rongcheng. This tea is usually exported directly; you can't even buy it domestically!"

Shen Qiaoyan couldn't help but ask, "If you can't even buy it domestically, how did you manage to get this tea?"

The bald old man was speechless.

Sun Xiangtian, who wore glasses, explained, "There's a specialty store in Rongcheng..."

"Hehe, didn't you say you couldn't buy it in China?" Shen Qiaoyan crossed her arms over her ample chest and chuckled expressionlessly.

"..." The bald old man, who had gone too far in his boasting, quickly lied. "The whole country is so big, there's only one exclusive store in Rongcheng!"

"But you just said that you can't buy it even in China!" Shen Qiaoyan wouldn't let go of this matter.

Ling Ziqian glanced at her amusedly, and she pinched him triumphantly.

The bald old man didn't dwell on the matter; instead, he boasted about how wonderful the tea was, as if it were divine tea.

Bai Yuqin couldn't stand it anymore, so she went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Shen Guomin couldn't stand the bald old man either, so he went into the kitchen to help Bai Yuqin.

The bald old man was boasting, but Shen Qiaoyan didn't pay any attention. She and Ling Ziqian squeezed together on a single sofa, looking for a movie to watch with the remote control.

Seeing the two so intimate, Sun Xiangtian, the man with glasses, felt a little envious.

The bald old man naturally knew what he was thinking; Shen Qiaoyan was the most beautiful girl in the neighborhood.

All the boys in the neighborhood had feelings for her, but Shen Qiaoyan was too aggressive and violent. No one dared to approach her.

Unexpectedly, she and Ling Ziqian were so close. The bald old man chuckled and said, "Qiaoyan, you and Ziqian are very close. Are you dating?"

"Hehe, we've been found out!" Shen Qiaoyan said casually, hugging Ling Ziqian's shoulder. "Master is such a blockhead. I've been chasing after him for so long, so I brought him back for dinner today!"

"..." Ling Ziqian was completely bewildered. This guy lies without even thinking!

Huan Yue said with a grin, "Maybe that's what she really thinks!"

Under normal circumstances, when asked this question by elders, people will deny it.

The bald old man was surprised that Shen Qiaoyan actually admitted it. She was only in her second year of high school, yet she brought her boyfriend home for dinner.

The bald old man stared in disbelief at the little old man.

The old man chuckled, "Kids these days are hard to manage, but as long as she's happy, that's all that matters."

"Hehe, thank you, Grandpa!" Shen Qiaoyan's cheeks were flushed, and she smiled brightly.

"No way..." In the kitchen, Shen Guomin heard the conversation in the living room. He was quite frightened and wanted to go out to check the situation.

"Come back! What are you thinking about!" Bai Yuqin grabbed Shen Guomin.

"Qiaoyan, she, she..." Shen Guomin was shocked that his daughter was in a relationship.

Bai Yuqin said with a stern face, "How long has it been since you last chatted with Qiaoyan? Don't you know her personality? She seems to be upset about that old man Sun!"

Shen Guomin breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little worried, "What about Qiaoyan and Ziqian? What if they...?"

Bai Yuqin laughed, "Don't worry about that. Qiaoyan may seem carefree, but she's more sensible than most people. I asked her about it, and she told me that there are other pretty girls who like Ziqian, and more than one!"

Hearing this, Shen Guomin became depressed. "Ziqian isn't handsome, is he? Do girls these days not care about looks when choosing a boyfriend?"

"What's wrong with him? I think he's very handsome, much more handsome than those guys who are full of scheming tricks!"

"..." Bai Yuqin's words made Shen Guomin jealous.

In the living room, Sun Xiangtian, the man with glasses, lowered his head; he wanted to leave.

Seeing his grandson's discouragement, the bald old man couldn't stand it. His grandson was the best, and Shen Qiaoyan's decision not to choose him wasn't his loss, but Shen Qiaoyan's loss!

"Qiaoyan, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you two should just be friends. There's no need for you to date. You're both still young. Besides, if you're looking for a boyfriend, you should look for someone like Xiaotian."

Shen Qiaoyan chuckled, "I don't like glasses at all. He's just a bookworm!"

This remark made Sun Xiangtian, the man with glasses, even more disappointed.

The bald old man quickly exclaimed, "But you have to understand, this world is a world of bookworms. What can you do in the future without a degree? Xiao Tian is studying at a prestigious university. Next summer, he will definitely be able to get into a top university. Oh, no, he won't even need to take the exam. He has won many awards, in mathematics and physics. Top universities have extended invitations to him for admission without examination!"

"Master's grades are pretty good too!"

"Tsk tsk, even if he gets into university, it will only be an ordinary university. There is a world of difference between a key university and an ordinary university."

Shen Qiaoyan didn't mind. "No one can predict the future. What if Glasses changes after he goes to college? So, let's talk about the current situation. Besides his studies, has Glasses done anything praiseworthy?"

The bald old man had no idea.

Sun Xiangtian pushed up his glasses and said softly, "I spend all my time studying and don't have time for anything else."

"Tsk tsk, this is a classic learning machine!" Shen Qiaoyan chuckled. "But our master is different!"

"..." Our family, how dare this guy say that? Ling Ziqian was speechless.

The bald old man and Sun Xiangtian pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how Ling Ziqian was different.

"Ahem." Shen Qiaoyan cleared her throat. "My master fought with others for my sake!"

"Pfft!" The bald old man was immediately bewildered. He thought Shen Qiaoyan was going to say that Ling Ziqian had won some award, but he didn't expect it to be about fighting!

Shen Qiaoyan didn't laugh. She looked at Sun Xiangtian seriously and asked, "Would you fight for a girl? If you were facing several people who were all taller and stronger than you, would you bravely stand in front of the girl, protect her, and fight off those people?"

Before Sun Xiangtian could answer, the bald old man shouted, "My Xiaotian never fights. If he encountered the things you described, a smart person would just call the police. Only an idiot would confront him head-on."

"Hehe." Shen Qiaoyan laughed expressionlessly.

Sun Xiangtian lowered his head awkwardly, feeling very embarrassed.

"Let's not talk about the fight, let's talk about something else. Master selflessly took out all his money to help a friend he had just met pay off his debts..."

"Foolish!" the bald old man shouted. "Lending money after only knowing each other for a short time, aren't you afraid of being scammed?"

"Even if we were deceived, it proves that Master is a compassionate person, not someone with a cold and suspicious heart!" Shen Qiaoyan said angrily.

The bald old man was powerless to refute.

Shen Qiaoyan continued, "Master wasn't fooled. It was because he took out that money that his friend's fate was changed!"

The bald old man felt somewhat ashamed; he hadn't expected this. (Zhen Guangchaji)

“My whole family is helpless with my studies, as you all know. But my master helped me. I scored over 400 points on the last monthly exam, which you think is terrible, but I used to score over 100 points. Without my master's help, I wouldn't have made that 300-point improvement. Can your Sun Xiangtian help me?”

"When the school caught fire, everyone was taking pictures and watching the commotion with their phones. My master rushed upstairs without hesitation. Was he an idiot? Was he not afraid of death? I don't know. But I do know that his friends and teachers were upstairs, so he risked his life to run up there. Because of him, his friends and teachers were saved!"

This incident left the bald old man dumbfounded. He knew about the fire at Shilian Middle School, but he had never heard the little old man boast about Ling Ziqian.

If his grandson had done such a thing, he would have made the whole world know about it long ago!

"My master has saved friends, shielded teachers from knives, fought against students from island nations to win us face and force schools to change their teaching strategies. He has resolved crises for families twice. Just a few days ago, he even beat up a heinous criminal in front of reporters!"

“My master has done such things, he is such a person. What else can your Sun Xiangtian do besides studying?”

Shen Qiaoyan's question left the usually eloquent bald old man speechless.

He didn't know how to refute it; besides being good at studying, his grandson really had nothing else to say and hadn't done anything significant.

Sun Xiangtian, the bespectacled man, was dumbfounded. He never expected that Ling Ziqian, who looked unremarkable, had done so many things.

Rushing to the scene of a fire, shielding a teacher from a knife attack, resolving a family crisis, helping a friend change their fate...

He couldn't do any of them; not only could he not do them, but he couldn't even imagine doing them!

He had always thought that high school students like himself were at the pinnacle.

But now, compared to Ling Ziqian, he felt somewhat ashamed of himself.

Indeed, he will be able to enter a top university in the future, but entering a top university does not mean anything.

Ling Ziqian's grades are not bad either. If he works hard, he can also get into a key university. At that time, he will be on the same starting line as himself.

Looking back on my eighteen years of life, I've spent almost all of them buried in studying.

His life is so fascinating it could fill a book.

In university, I will definitely still be the kind of person who buries himself in his studies, while he will surely become a prominent figure.

Sun Xiangtian, the bespectacled man, became insecure. He felt that Shen Qiaoyan's choice of Ling Ziqian was the right one. He was no longer envious, but rather felt inferior.

If she chooses him, he can't protect her at all. He doesn't dare to rush into the fire, doesn't dare to shield anyone from harm, and can't change anyone's fate.

All I know is reading books, doing exercises, and practicing for exams...

After recounting what Ling Ziqian had done, Shen Qiaoyan didn't say anything more.

She hugged Ling Ziqian's arm and snuggled comfortably against him while watching TV, ignoring the bald old man.

The old man smiled as always, without saying a word.

The bald old man was as depressed as if he had eaten a dead child.

I used to bring my grandson here, just like this.

Each time, his vanity was satisfied, and he would leave elated, leaving the Shen family feeling depressed.

This time, however, things didn't turn out the way they had before. His vanity was taken aback.

He felt that his grandson was a thousand times better than Ling Ziqian, but he didn't know how to refute it.
