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

Chapter 238 Today is the day the annoying cicada carries the ice cube spirit.

After the soundproofing and barrier were set up, the siblings moved out one after another over the next few days.

It just so happens to be the difference between upstairs and downstairs, so there's no rush to move. Chen Shi'an still has to teach as usual, and Li Wanyin is now running her stall full-time, so the two of them just move a little bit today and a little bit tomorrow when they have free time...

While slowly moving, Li Wanyin was also helping Uncle Lin find new tenants to renew his lease, so she put up a "For Rent" sign next to the stall.

It was a prime location in the city center, and the rent of 1,200 was ridiculously cheap. Within two days, they found a new tenant to renew the lease.

As per Uncle Lin's expectations and requirements, the new tenants are also young people who have recently graduated, continuing the welfare society.

As the new home furnishings I ordered online arrived one after another, my once empty new home started to feel more and more like home.

Before we knew it, a week had passed, and it was Saturday again.

The new tenants will be moving in tomorrow, Sunday, and Chen Shian and Li Wanyin have decided to officially move out of the top floor on Saturday night and move to the first floor.

The siblings are both nostalgic people. They met in this house and lived together for so long. As their first place to stay after graduation and coming down from the mountain, they have a strong attachment to this house.

They were about to move out of this place, so Chen Shi'an and Li Wanyin decided to have one last nice meal here, and invited Wen Zhixia and Lin Mengqiu to join them.

I had originally invited Uncle Lin to have dinner at my house as a way of thanking him for his help during this time, but unfortunately Uncle Lin had a dinner engagement with his boss, so I had to give up on that idea. Anyway, Lin Mengqiu is practically a landlord, so it's fine if she comes.

"Oh~~ The Last Supper! Taoist priest, shall we eat downstairs or upstairs?" Wen Zhixia perked up as soon as she heard that there would be dinner tonight.

"We're eating upstairs. We haven't moved the pots, pans, oil, salt, rice, and flour downstairs yet. You two will have to help me move them after we finish eating," Chen Shi'an said as they walked towards the school gate.

"So you're looking for manual labor! Then you'd better cook lots of good meat and vegetables, I need to be full to have the energy!"

Yes, we have them.

Lin Mengqiu, walking to Chen Shi'an's left, was also craving food, but unlike the annoying cicada, she wasn't as unrestrained in her craving. She asked curiously:
"So you're moving into the new house tonight?"

"Yes, we're all moving out tonight. The new tenants are moving in tomorrow, so we need to make room for them."

Who rented the house?

"A couple who just graduated from college. According to Sister Wanyin, they seem to be a young couple. They grew up together, went to the same elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and now they've graduated and are renting an apartment together and working at the same company."

Wow—! Childhood sweethearts!

Upon hearing Chen Shi'an's words, Wen Zhixia exclaimed in surprise, and Lin Mengqiu was also somewhat astonished. The two girls thought in unison that once this childhood sweetheart couple moved in, they would definitely be shameless and unrestrained...

But I can't help feeling envious of them. They grew up together, studied together, worked together... and finally got married and had a baby together.

Tsk tsk, I don't know how two people who are so familiar could do this to each other. Aren't they ashamed when they were taking off each other's pants...?

Wen Zhixia and Lin Mengqiu didn't have any childhood sweethearts. Occasionally, they would secretly fantasize about what it would be like if they had known the Taoist priest since childhood.

That stinky Taoist priest is so arrogant now; he must have been incredibly arrogant when he was a child. I definitely wouldn't like playing with him!

"Taoist priest, do you have a childhood sweetheart?" Wen Zhixia asked curiously.

"No, I live in the mountains and I haven't been to school for many days, so how could I have a childhood sweetheart?"

"Why didn't your master find you a junior sister back then?"

"Yes, I asked my master about it too. He told me to focus on cultivating the Tao and not to think about things that don't exist."

"Tch! You actually dare to think that way!"

Wen Zhixia spat at him, and Lin Mengqiu rolled her eyes at him in return.

"What the heck? I've been living alone since I was little, so I've always thought about having older brothers, older sisters, younger brothers, and younger sisters, right?"

"How about I give you a junior brother?"

"No, there are already too many males in Jingchen Temple, besides the hens that lay eggs."

"See! It's because he has impure thoughts!"

“This is called the harmony of Yin and Yang. I think it’s your own impure thoughts that are imposing your own desires on others.”

“I didn’t say anything,” Lin Mengqiu said.

"It doesn't matter if you didn't say anything."

Chen Shi'an chuckled and chatted with the two girls about trivial topics. Although the two girls still didn't talk to each other, the atmosphere was much more harmonious now that they spent more time together.

It wasn't until Chen Shi'an pushed the bicycle out of the parking shed and saw the only seat on the back of the bicycle that the two girls looked at each other, and the harmony they had just felt vanished instantly.

Chen Shi'an regretted it.

I wish I hadn't ridden my bike here today.

There are three people on one bicycle with two seats. How are they supposed to sit?
It was fine while we were on campus, but the moment we stepped off campus, the conflict started immediately.

Wen Zhixia rides in cars every day and is very familiar with them. While Lin Mengqiu was still thinking about how to grab a seat, the girl took the lead, lifted her leg, and sat down on the back seat.

Seeing that the only back seat in the car had been taken by the annoying cicada, Lin Mengqiu's face immediately turned cold, so much so that her movement of lifting her leg froze in mid-air.

These annoying cicadas...!
Why was she able to get into the car so quickly?!

Is this some kind of acrobatic performance?!

Seeing the ice cube spirit reluctantly retract its leg-raising movement, Wen Zhixia's smugness deepened, and she even provoked:
"Excuse me, this seat is taken."

"...as if someone is trying to take it from you."

"Yeah, I would say the same thing if I didn't get it."

"XXX!"

Seeing that the battle was about to escalate again, Chen Shi'an couldn't sit still in the driver's seat any longer. He got out of the car, holding onto the front of the vehicle, and said to Lin Mengqiu, "Squad leader, there's still a seat here. Why don't you sit here?"

"Taoist priest! Aren't you riding a bicycle?"

"Please sit down, I can walk, I walk fast."

Chen Shi'an was prepared for Lin Mengqiu to refuse. He would then push his bicycle with Xiao Zhi on the back seat and walk with the class monitor, which would be considered as sharing the favor equally.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mengqiu replied, "Okay."

Then, to Chen Shi'an and Wen Zhixia's astonishment, Lin Mengqiu stepped forward, took the handlebars, and straddled the driver's seat of the bicycle.

Chen Shi'an's seat was adjusted quite high, and even though the girl had long legs, it was still difficult for her to reach the ground. As a result, the bicycle wobbled, which startled Wen Zhixia, who was on the back seat, so she also put her legs down and braced herself on the ground with Chen Shi'an.

Hey! Can't you ride a bike?!

"I don't know how, but you do. The seat is too high. Let me adjust it first."

"Your backpack is bumping against me from behind." "Then get off the bus."

Why should I get off the bus?

"Then don't say anything."

"Can't you do it?! You've been adjusting it for ages and still can't get it right!"

"Don't make any noise."

After a while, Lin Mengqiu finally adjusted the seat to a suitable height.

Seeing that the Ice Cube Spirit was really going to pick her up, Wen Zhixia was convinced. She decided to go all in and not get off the bike, wanting to see how the Ice Cube Spirit would ride.

Wen Zhixia lifted her legs, which were resting on the ground, and placed them on the pedals. Without her help to support the ground, the bicycle immediately started to wobble again.

Lin Mengqiu couldn't help but complain, "You're so heavy!"

This really hit Wen Zhixia where it hurt, and she retorted with puffed-out cheeks, "Me, heavy?! It's not certain who's heavier or lighter! It's clearly you who can't ride a bike!"

“You didn’t ride me last time.”

"Who wins and who loses!"

"Stop swaying! I can't ride like that."

"Who's wobbling? You can't ride properly and you're blaming me for wobbling!"

Lin Mengqiu got annoyed by the cicada's constant complaints that she couldn't ride, so she stepped on the pedals and started riding.

The ice cube suddenly started moving, startling Wen Zhixia, who instinctively reached out and grabbed the ice cube's waist.

Unexpectedly, this ice spirit was so sensitive and ticklish. As soon as she touched it, Lin Mengqiu couldn't help but twist and turn. This caused the bicycle to swing even more violently, so much so that Wen Zhixia on the back seat was so frightened that she hugged her even tighter.

"Ahhh—can you ride?! Can you ride?!"

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing! You, you stop grabbing my waist!"

"Then it's the same when I ride in a Taoist priest's carriage!"

"XXX!"

"Hey hey hey...?"

"Oh……!"

The bicycle, which was being ridden slowly, finally went out of control, and crashed into the green belt on the side of the road, carrying the two girls on it.

Chen Shi'an: "..."

The Taoist priest was exhausted.

He couldn't be bothered with what the two of them did, as long as the conflict didn't affect him.

Fortunately, the car only crashed into the green belt, and the two girls did not fall.

Lin Mengqiu and Wen Zhixia sheepishly pulled their bicycles out of the green belt, and then tacitly switched positions.

"Get out of the way! You can't ride but you're trying to show off. I'll do it!"

"Fine, if you can do it, then you do it."

Wen Zhixia lowered the seat height even further, and Lin Mengqiu in the back seat chuckled.

Following her example, Lin Mengqiu placed her paws on the annoying cicada's waist.

Lin Mengqiu was surprised when she saw it; she hadn't expected that this annoying cicada, whose chest looked plump, had such a slender waist.

Holding onto the waist of the person they hated most felt just as uncomfortable as being held by the same person. Lin Mengqiu and Wen Zhixia both felt extremely awkward. After riding for a short while, their bicycles wobbled and crashed into the green belt...

"Hey! Do you even know how to ride a car? How am I supposed to ride with you swaying like that from behind!"

"You can't ride it yourself, and you're blaming me for wobbling?"

Almost identical lines, but spoken by different mouths—it's true that prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain.

Just as Lin Mengqiu felt that she hadn't ridden well because the annoying cicada behind her was deliberately swaying, Wen Zhixia also felt that she hadn't ridden well because the ice spirit behind her was deliberately swaying.

Chen Shi'an could vaguely guess how the two girls had shifted the blame after participating in the 4x100m relay race back then...

Seeing that the two women were about to argue about whose fault it was, Chen Shi'an finally stepped in and said:

"Alright, alright, why don't you two just sit down and I'll push you around?"

"……snort."

The two girls then gave up.

Wen Zhixia sat in the driver's seat, controlling the direction of the car;

Lin Mengqiu sat in the back seat of the car, no longer holding onto her waist, but instead holding onto the sides of the car frame;

Chen Shi'an then came to the very back of the bicycle, grabbed the rear rack with one hand, and pushed the bicycle along.

Strangely enough, even when Chen Shi'an pushed the bicycle slowly in a walking posture, the bicycle did not wobble at all. The wheels rolled slowly, and the bicycle did not fall to either side.

"Wow, Taoist priest! Look how good I am at controlling my bike! I can ride this slowly without falling!"

Lin Mengqiu: "Heh."

Chen Shi'an: "That little cicada is really amazing."

"Taoist priest, push faster! Run!"

"Slow down, she's going to ride her bike into the green belt again soon."

"Who rode their bike on the green belt? Taoist priest, hurry up!"

"Then you two sit tight and hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."

Chen Shi'an pushed his bicycle and ran like he was pushing a train.

He runs so fast!
He pushed the two girls' bicycle past pedestrians one by one.

The wind, carrying the light of the setting sun, blew onto the girls' faces.

Wen Zhixia giggled incessantly, while Lin Mengqiu, caught in the middle, was terrified.
"Slow down, slow down!!"
