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

Chapter 117 Access Control for You
I arrived here at nine o'clock in the morning, and after riding my bike and having a barbecue, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon before I knew it.

Considering that Chen Shian, Wen Zhixia, and Lin Mengqiu had to attend evening self-study sessions, Li Wanyin took the initiative to end today's cycling activity.

The six of them went to the bus stop together to take the bus.

Wu Jiayun and Yan Yufei also had a day off today, so the two older sisters went home with Li Wanyin and will go back after dinner.

Since Chen Shi'an and the other two had decided not to eat together at home, Li Wanyin let them make their own arrangements.

"So, Shi'an, are you going directly to Zhixia's house or going home first?" Li Wanyin asked.

Before Chen Shi'an could speak, Wen Zhixia had already planned it out for him: "Taoist, you should go home first, take a shower and change your clothes, and then come to my house. We'll have dinner at home tonight, and then go to evening self-study together."

Lin Mengqiu: "××××!"

Chen Shi'an didn't mind; he would just do as Xiao Zhi suggested, which would save him the trouble of running back and forth.

Turning to look at Lin Mengqiu, who was drinking water, Chen Shi'an asked, "So, is the class monitor also going straight home later?"

"Ah."

Are you getting off at the same bus stop as us?

I got off at Dongyufu Station.

Chen Shi'an knew that Dongyufu Station was near the entrance of Lin Mengqiu's community. Normally, it would be most convenient for the class monitor to take the bus directly from there to Hongshuhu in the morning, but she still walked to Jiahe Street Station to set off with everyone.

As they were chatting, bus number 326 arrived at the station. Li Wanyin called out, and the six of them boarded the bus together.

The bus wasn't very crowded, but there were no seats available in the front and middle sections.

There are some scattered single seats in the latter part, but there are four empty seats connected together at the very back.

Wu Jiayun and Yan Yufei were quite sensible and took the initiative to sit on the scattered single seats.

Li Wanyin walked ahead, and she went to the last four seats, bent down and sat down at the very back.

Lin Mengqiu followed closely behind and sat down next to Li Wanyin.

Wen Zhixia did not sit next to Lin Mengqiu, but instead left an empty seat between them.

Chen Shi'an, who was walking at the back with his cat, saw that there was only one seat left between the two girls. He had no choice but to sit down between them.

The last row of seats on the bus has no armrests. Although there are five seats, it feels much more cramped than the two-seater seats in front.

Chen Shi'an was sandwiched between the two girls, their arms naturally bumping against each other.

Wen Zhixia on the right was soft and warm, with a soft body and arms.
Lin Mengqiu on the left appeared more tense, and the skin on her arms, like her personality, felt cool to the touch.

Neither of the two girls spoke, but they both seemed very hot, their pretty faces looking a little red.

At first, it was fine to stick it on for a while, but after a while, Chen Shi'an started to feel a little uncomfortable.

He subtly moved his arms, freeing them from the pressure of the two girls and placing them naturally in front of him.

Wen Zhixia and Lin Mengqiu also seemed relieved, taking the opportunity to take out their phones to play, trying to hide the slight embarrassment in their eyes.

As the bus moved along, even though their arms were no longer touching, their shoulders still occasionally bumped into each other.

Chen Shi'an glanced at Lin Mengqiu's phone.

It's unclear what the class monitor wanted to see, but she just kept opening each app, then switching back to the desktop, then opening the app again, clicking here and there, as if she was extremely busy.

Looking at Wen Zhixia's phone again, it seemed she was chatting in the class group, but she didn't send any messages. She was just scrolling through the chat history.

Finally, through Lin Mengqiu, I glanced at Li Wanyin, who was sitting at the very back. Wanyin had also taken out her phone and earphones.

"Mengqiu, do you want to listen to music?" Li Wanyin asked her, holding up one of the earphones.

Lin Mengqiu, who was extremely busy, stopped switching desktops, turned to look at her, shook her head and said softly, "I won't listen, thank you, Sister Wanyin."

It has to be said that the class monitor is a slow starter. They had been playing together for half a day, and only now did she affectionately call her Sister Wanyin.

Regardless of the purpose of this trip, Lin Mengqiu really had a lot of fun today. She couldn't remember the last time she had participated in such a group activity, especially since it was the first time she had done so with Wen Zhixia and three other women she didn't know at first.

When Lin Mengqiu called out "Sister Wanyin", Li Wanyin didn't react much, but Chen Shian was quite surprised.

If Chen Shi'an remembers correctly...

The class monitor has never called him by his name or any nickname before!

His classmates called him "Taoist Master," "Chen Shi'an," and Li Wanyin more affectionately called him "Shi'an," while Xiao Zhiliao consistently called him "Taoist Priest."

Lin Mengqiu, his deskmate, was the only one he never addressed by name. He always spoke his mind directly without using any titles.

If she needed to call him or start a conversation, the girl would poke him with her pen, meaning, 'Look over here, I want to talk to you.'

If Chen Shi'an wasn't home, she would wait until he returned and then poke him with her pen.

Chen Shi'an was quite curious about how the class monitor usually addressed him in her heart...

Just as they were thinking this, a WeChat group chat message popped up on the screens of the three girls who were playing on their phones at the same time—

[Hongshuhu Sunday Cycling Group - Wu Jiayun: [Wanyin, could you post today's bill in the group chat to collect payment? Let's split it equally!]]
Soon, another message appeared in the group chat:
Zhizhi: [Yeah, Sister Wanyin, let's start a group payment collection!]
Chen Shi'an didn't take out his phone; instead, he tilted his head and looked at Wen Zhixia's screen next to him.

Wen Zhixia's phone looked quite high-end, and it had a cute phone case. Even the keyboard was covered in cartoon cat and dog patterns. Compared to the simple keyboard that came with the system, this fancy keyboard with its skin made Chen Shi'an's eyes dazzled.

He turned his head again to look at Lin Mengqiu's phone.

Lin Mengqiu glared at him, then turned the screen away, refusing to let him see.

The class monitor is so stingy!
Chen Shi'an then stopped looking at her and only looked at Wen Zhixia.

However, Xiao Zhi is also very stingy. He only shows him the group chat interface where everyone is present, and doesn't show him anything else.

Friends in the group chat have nicknames displayed. Chen Shi'an glanced at Wen Zhixia's nickname for him: [Stinky Taoist Priest]
Chen Shi'an: "?"

Soon, Li Wanyin's reply popped up in the group chat.

Little Echo: [It's okay, we'll figure it out when we get back. The main expenses are the barbecue and car rental.]
Zhizhi: [And the water and bread that Sister Wanyin bought, we'll include those too.]
Little Echo: [No need for that.]
Zhizhi: [Yes, yes!]
Yan Yufei: [Didn't Shi An just take a lot of photos? Post them and let everyone claim them! @ChenShiAn]
Wu Jiayun: [Yes, yes, everyone should post the photos they took.]
Wen Zhixia nudged Chen Shi'an, who was standing next to her, and tilted her phone screen so he could see it.

"Taoist priest, I'm talking to you. Where are those photos you took? Post them now."

"Let's talk about it when we get back, I don't have much mobile data." "I have plenty of data, I'll turn on my hotspot for you."

What are the hot topics?

"I'll use my mobile data to turn on WiFi for you, quick!"

Hearing Wen Zhixia say that, Chen Shi'an had no choice but to go get his phone.

The phone was in my left trouser pocket.

Lin Mengqiu was standing close to him when she suddenly saw Chen Shi'an reach between them and grope around. The girl was startled and looked wary.

The space was already cramped, and when bending over to take out her phone, she was bound to bump into Lin Mengqiu.

The class monitor has a tough exterior, but her petite body is actually quite soft to the touch.

Chen Shi'an took out his phone, and Wen Zhixia and Lin Mengqiu simultaneously turned their attention to his phone screen.

No wonder he's from the "Grandpa" generation.

Not only is his phone incredibly laggy, like a PowerPoint presentation, but even his home screen is the system wallpaper, with huge app icons and huge text. There aren't a single game or other apps. Besides the system apps, he probably hasn't downloaded more than five apps himself.

It wasn't because Chen Shi'an's presbyopia made it difficult for him to see the words; he simply felt that larger fonts were more comfortable to read and the information wouldn't feel so crowded.

"Is it the same as connecting to WiFi?"

"Um, oh dear, you're so clumsy, give it to me, give it to me, I'll help you connect it..."

Wen Zhixia happily accepted Chen Shi'an's old-fashioned mobile phone. As soon as she held the phone, she suddenly felt like she was helping her grandfather solve a high-tech, century-old problem.

After helping Chen Shi'an connect to the hotspot called [Zhizhi], she handed the phone back, her little face showing a proud expression of anticipation for praise.

Chen Shi'an knew how to connect to WiFi, and seeing the girl's expression, he didn't mind chuckling and praising her, "Little Zhi is really amazing."

Lin Mengqiu: "XXX!"

Chen Shi'an opened WeChat, entered the [Hongshuhu Sunday Cycling Group], and then entered the album to select photos.

I took a lot of photos today, half of which were individual cat photos of Fei Mo.

Chen Shi'an then selected all the photos of the girls he had taken, clicked on the original image, and sent it to the group.

A bunch of photos popped up in the group chat all at once.

Several girls looked down at their phones.

It must be said that Chen Shi'an's photography skills are really good.

There are six solo photos of Li Wanyin, eight solo photos of Wen Zhixia, five or six photos of Wu Jiayun and Yan Yufei together, and one solo photo of Lin Mengqiu.

Lin Mengqiu was stunned when she saw her photo. She didn't know when Chen Shi'an took the photo, but from the content of the photo, she quickly remembered that it was the photo that Chen Shi'an said he 'snatched' on the viewing platform.

"The photo is very good," Lin Mengqiu said, receiving the original image. She then stared blankly at her own photo for a long time...

Is this how Chen Shi'an sees her?
The girl remained calm, long-pressed the image, and saved it to her album.

Like Lin Mengqiu, several girls were the first to identify themselves from this pile of photos, and then happily pressed save.

Only at the very end did I look at the other people's photos.

"Sister Wanyin, you took such beautiful photos! Did you and the Taoist priest ride your bikes to the mangrove forest to take these photos?"

When Wen Zhixia saw Li Wanyin's photos, she was immediately filled with envy. It was definitely a mistake to race against that ice demon; she should have taken some photos with that stinky Taoist priest in the mangrove forest instead…

"Yes, that's right, Zhixia Mengqiu, your photos are all very beautiful."

"Shouldn't you praise me?" Chen Shi'an asked.

"Cut~~"

Wen Zhixia looked at Li Wanyin's photos for a while, then scrolled to Lin Mengqiu's photo without even looking at it and scrolled past it.

Lin Mengqiu was the same way; she couldn't even be bothered to download the original photos of Wen Zhixia, so as not to waste her phone's memory...

Li Wanyin also posted the group photo of the six of them in the group chat.

Although the photo taken by this passerby couldn't compare to Chen Shi'an's in terms of photography skills, Wen Zhixia and Lin Mengqiu still downloaded the original photo and saved it to their phones.

As for the group photos that Chen Shi'an took with their respective phones, Li Wanyin and Wen Zhixia tacitly refrained from posting them in the group chat.

Instead, it was secretly sent to Chen Shi'an's WeChat via private chat.

Chen Shi'an didn't look at it because he had already put his phone back in his pocket.

Soon, after about eighteen minutes by car, Lin Mengqiu arrived at the station first.

"Squad leader, you're home."

"Ah."

Lin Mengqiu stood up.

"Goodbye, Mengqiu. Let's play together again next time." Li Wanyin waved to her.

"Goodbye, Sister Wanyin." Lin Mengqiu nodded and got out of the car first.

The car continued on its way, and at the next stop, Chen Shi'an and the others got off the car and returned to the street at the entrance of the residential area.

"Goodbye, Sister Wanyin! I'm going home now!"

"Uh-huh."

"Oh, right, Taoist priest, here you can have this."

Wen Zhixia took the access card out of the keychain and handed it to Chen Shi'an, "After you take a shower and change your clothes, just come up to the fourth floor. I'm going back to take a shower first."

"If you give me the access card, how will you get in?"

"Your phone recorded your access control, you idiot!"
