Chapter 22
“Alright, the temperature has cooled down a bit, but still take a rest. Drink more hot water at home. Your constitution is weak; you really need to exercise.”
“Okay, I’ll go to class now.”
“Go ahead. If you still feel fatigued, it’s best to rest at home in the afternoon, sleep early, and drink more warm water. Dress warmly tomorrow morning.”
Listening to the meticulous advice from the school doctor, Xu Lin looked at the doctor’s stern face, which seemed more appealing. That’s what makes a doctor a doctor.
Su Qingwan also thought of leaving, but Dr. Wang stopped her. Xu Lin had already opened the door and walked out.
“Teacher Wang, what’s wrong?”
“Teacher Su, are you close with Student Xu? You and him.”
“Close?” Su Qingwan didn’t quite understand.
“It’s okay. Although you are a teacher, Xu Lin is of the same age. There’s not much age difference between you two. But being too intimate can lead to… some people in the school…”
“Got it, got it. Thanks, Teachee Wang. I’ll be careful.”Su Qingwan immediately understood. Thinking back, it was indeed a bit… all because of that, Xu Lin! Well, tonight, he can be used as a shield…
In the next two morning classes, Xu Lin managed to get through, but still felt a bit weak and lacking energy.
Fortunately, there was no relapse of chills, and the medicine was effective.
“Xu Lin, are you riding a bicycle home?” Li Bin pretended to tie his shoelaces and said so quietly.
“If I don’t ride, how else will I get home?”
“Aren’t you having a fever? It’s starting to drizzle outside.” Ma Zhiyu, behind him, also chimed in.
“Don’t try to fool me into going online. I really don’t have the energy and spirit to play games.”
“We’re just concerned about you.”
“Heh!”
As soon as he scoffed, the dismissal bell rang outside, and the teacher announced the end of class. Instantly, several students rushed out.
“Xu Lin, take a taxi home. Don’t get soaked in the rain again. If you have a fever again, it won’t be just a matter of getting an injection.”
Zhuo Yan and Ji Yun walked over, and seeing Xu Lin’s reserved appearance, Zhuo Yan spoke up for her.
“Alright, I’ll take a taxi to my place; it’s just a few yuans.”
As he finished speaking, a voice came from the doorway, and Su Qingwan walked in.
“Did Xu Lin leave?”
“I’m here. Is there something, teacher?”
“Come with me. I’ll drive you home.”
“Oh, that would be too much trouble for you.”
“No problem. Let’s go.” After saying this, Su Qingwan walked out of the classroom. Ma Zhiyu and Li Bin patted his shoulder.
“You’re something, man. Last time I was sick, the teacher didn’t offer me a pick-up service.”
“Li Bin, what do you think is the difference between us?”
“You are good at studying…?”
“No, no, my appearance is just average, while you can be described as tall and mighty.” After saying this, Xu Lin smirked and quickly walked out of the classroom.
Li Bin was stunned for two seconds before reacting, “Xu Lin, you dare to tease me!”
Downstairs, Su Qingwan asked him to wait by the teaching building for a moment, not to go out in the rain. A white Passat stopped under the steps a dozen seconds later.
Xu Lin hurriedly went down. He originally wanted to sit in the front passenger seat, but after some thought, he opened the rear door and got in.
“Why not sit in the front passenger seat?”
“Teacher Su, which student do you think would dare to sit in the teacher’s front passenger seat? It’s too much pressure.”
“You, Xu Lin, what pressure are you afraid of? You lectured so much; you almost scared me, the teacher.”
“That’s because I don’t want you to be bound by chains. Normally, as a student, I should respect you.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Where is your home?”
“Jinxiu Mansion.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
On the way, the two of them discussed the events of the evening again. Xu Lin offered a few words, mainly to help her stay calm.
After all, if your mindset is unstable, a retreat puts you at a disadvantage.
As Jinxiu Mansion drew closer, Xu Lin suddenly remembered the bet he made with his class teacher. Today was Tuesday, and the exam was on Friday.
“Why the sudden frown?”
“Do you remember the bet I made with my class teacher? I said if I don’t do homework but still manage to rank in the top 50, I win. But I’ve been delaying my review these past few days, and now I’ve caught a cold.”
“Then be prepared for your parents to come to the school.”
“That won’t work…” Xu Lin furrowed his brow, seemingly thinking of something. Doesn’t he have a silly system? He could improve his intelligence to fundamentally achieve good grades, although it would cost 20,000 points for a slight improvement.
But this week, didn’t the system refresh a short-term intelligence boost card? It has no limit, costs 100 points each time, and lasts for an hour. Perfect for exam preparation.
He opened the silly system, checked the points, and found that he had 21,650 points.
Glancing at the favorability system, he noticed that Teacher Su Qingwan’s favorability has reached 29 and is about to break 30. Ji Yun’s favorability has also reached 28, just 2 points away from earning points. The most terrifying thing is that the big star’s favorability, which had just reached 30, has increased by 3 points a day later.
He really didn’t intentionally boost their favorability, but at this rate, he felt he didn’t need to work hard; he could just rely on the points.
Speaking of which, he hadn’t checked the personal information of Chu Qingchan. But with her beauty, could it be that her charm value would be directly above 9?
[Chu Qingchan]
[Age: 24]
[Chinese Zodiac: Snake]
[Intelligence: 6]
[Constitution: 4]
[Charm: 9]
[Favorability: 33]
Indeed, her charm value is currently the highest, and even as a woman, Chu Qingchan’s constitution is still stronger than his. But are the maximum limits for the three basic attributes all 10?
If they are all 10, he can imagine what a 10 intelligence and constitution would be like, but a charm value of 10? The universally acknowledged goddess Chu Qingchan is only 9… but there is a 10 above.
He really can’t imagine what that existence is. Heavenly fairies? But where do fairies come from in this world? It’s not a fantasy world.
Thinking about it, he casually opened Ji Yun’s interface and found that Ji Yun’s charm value had changed from 7.5 to 7.6.
It can actually increase. Well, a person changes as they grow, from childhood to adulthood. Just like adults’ height and weight can change, naturally, charm values can fluctuate too. Ji Yun’s increase is purely a natural rise from becoming more womanly.
In the end, Su Qingwan’s charm value is also high. But I also have an 8-charm value. They all acknowledge Su Qingwan and others as beauties.
Why doesn’t anyone say I’m handsome? This question suddenly popped into Xu Lin’s mind.
“Teacher, do you think I’m handsome?”
“Why are you suddenly asking that?” Su Qingwan was a bit surprised.
“Just tell me, am I handsome?”
“Handsome, but you’re too skinny. If you were a bit plumper, not that kind of fat, but…”
“More muscular?”
“Yes, something like that.”
“Wait until I build some muscles, then I’ll let the teacher see.”
“Who wants to see?” Su Qingwan lightly scoffed, but in her mind, the image of Xu Lin’s buttocks when he got an injection appeared.
Hey, Su Qingwan, What are you thinking about?!
