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

Chapter 245 Who doesn't know how to use unspoken rules?

Wen Zhixia was quite shocked to hear that Lin Mengqiu had also signed up.

Given her understanding of the Ice Spirit, she would always avoid events like this, but she never expected to participate.

It's probably because he wants to go on stage with that stinky Taoist priest!

She wanted to see whose show would come out on top...

Lin Mengqiu naturally noticed the provocation in Wen Zhixia's eyes. Of course, she didn't think that she and Chen Shian had any reason to lose their show. They were both paired with Chen Shian, so it was a good opportunity to see who could use him better!
As for a trio... Tch! With her?!

It was decided that Chen Shi'an and the two girls would each form a group to participate in a program. As for what songs to choose, they could choose for themselves, and Chen Shi'an was fine with it.

"By the way, Xiaozhi, you just said that Xiaoyan and the others invited you to perform a campus skit. What is that?"

"It's just a skit, Taoist priest. Haven't you ever seen a skit?"

“I have seen it.”

"That's roughly it. The only requirement is that it has to be related to campus life. We have to come up with the script ourselves, find classmates to act in it, and it has to be positive and uplifting."

"That sounds pretty interesting, coming up with your own script, then directing and acting yourself?"

"Uh-huh!"

"So what kind of skit are you planning to perform?"

"I don't know yet. Xiaoyan and the others told me to come up with a script, but I don't know what kind of script to come up with... And since the script hasn't been finalized, and we haven't found any actors or anything, do you have any suggestions, Taoist priest!"

"I'm not familiar with these things."

"Ugh, my head hurts..."

When it comes to campus skits, they are nothing more than a few common themes, such as youthful troubles, teacher-student interactions, and academic pressure. These are now hard to attract attention. But it is not so simple to find elements that young people like and that meet the requirements of positive energy.

After listening to Wen Zhixia's analysis, Chen Shi'an smiled and said, "Why don't you come up with a theme like 'transfer student enrollment'? It can reflect campus life and highlight growth."

"It seems like a breakthrough, but it feels like it's missing something, it's too conventional..."

"Why not time travel?"

As the two were talking, a clear voice suddenly rang out, causing Chen Shi'an and Wen Zhixia to look in surprise at Lin Mengqiu, who was engrossed in eating.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at like that, Lin Mengqiu pretended that she hadn't said anything and continued to focus on eating.

Time travel...?
Wen Zhixia's eyes lit up when she heard about this element.

Since it was suggested by the Ice Cube Spirit, Wen Zhixia was too embarrassed to ask further. Chen Shi'an, however, asked curiously:
"Time travel? That sounds intriguing. Class monitor, could you share your thoughts?"

Seeing that Chen Shi'an and Wen Zhixia were both looking at her, Lin Mengqiu whispered, "For example, a student from our school twenty years ago suddenly traveled to the present classroom..."

After waiting for a while without her continuing, Chen Shi'an leaned closer and asked curiously, "What's next?"

"...There is no next part."

"what?"

"...It just suddenly occurred to me that it would be more interesting for a student from twenty years ago to come to the classroom now than for a transfer student to come here."

Although Lin Mengqiu only threw out an idea before abandoning the book, her idea sparked Wen Zhixia's inspiration.

Time travel isn't a new concept in various forms of entertainment, but it's quite novel when applied to campus sketches.

Seeing that Lin Mengqiu was a eunuch, Wen Zhixia began to continue imagining this idea—

"How about we change it to someone from an even earlier period? He's a student who traveled from thirty years ago!"

"...Then this student from thirty years ago discovered that the school had changed a lot compared to before! The classrooms were different, the cafeteria, the dormitories, and campus life were all different, and even the school's name had changed from Yunqi Senior High School to Yunqi No. 1 Middle School!"

"Led by his modern classmates, he personally experienced campus life thirty years in the future, showcasing the changes in living conditions and educational philosophies through comparisons between different eras... Positive energy! Uplifting! And it just so happens to be the 20th anniversary of the school! Wow... a theme tailor-made for us!"

Although it was the Ice Cube Spirit who first came up with the idea, it gave Wen Zhixia, who was racking her brains over the script, a sudden realization.

She instantly grasped the direction of the script's story, and combined with the requirements of a campus skit and the background of the 20th anniversary celebration, it was a perfect fit!
It's unbelievable that such a brilliant idea came from the Ice Cube Spirit;

Lin Mengqiu never expected that her casual idea would actually lead to a skit script that sounded quite interesting.

Chen Shi'an raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Aren't you two pretty in sync?"

“It feels good.”

Chen Shi'an smiled and said, "I think you can think about it in the direction the class monitor mentioned, Xiao Zhi."

Wen Zhixia certainly knew this was a good idea!

This idea came from Lin Mengqiu, and she was too embarrassed to just take it and use it directly, so she asked:

"Lin Mengqiu, can I use your idea?"

"……Um."

"Thank you!"

Seeing Lin Mengqiu readily agree, Wen Zhixia praised, "Your idea is really good, much better than what Xiaoyan and the others had thought of before. It broadens the scope of the skit significantly!"

Lin Mengqiu: "..."

Why do I feel so uncomfortable listening to this annoying cicada's praise?

It was clear that Wen Zhixia genuinely agreed with the idea, so Lin Mengqiu also nodded in agreement.

"Having a direction makes writing the script much easier," Wen Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief.

“Does Xiaozhi know what school life was like thirty years ago? He should fill in those kinds of details,” Chen Shi’an said.

"Yes, I definitely need to do my homework. These details are the flesh and blood of the script, used to showcase the enormous changes in campus life over thirty years. Luckily, our teacher, Ms. Wu, was a student there back then, so I can ask her for inspiration!" "So, who are you planning to cast as Xiao Zhi? Just you and Xiao Yan?"

"There's definitely more than that, I estimate there should be at least six or seven characters... Taoist priest! Taoist priest! Do you want to come and act in a skit with us? It's a lot of fun! I'm the writer and director, and I'll let you play the male lead!"

"Okay."

"XXX!"

Seeing that Wen Zhixia's ideas weren't enough, she also wanted to take Chen Shi'an away, which made Lin Mengqiu unhappy.

He unusually spoke up, saying, "Can I join?"

Wen Zhixia was stunned for a moment, and Chen Shi'an was also stunned for a moment. Both of their eyes looked over at the same time.

Lin Mengqiu blushed slightly, and instead of looking at Chen Shi'an, she stared at Wen Zhixia.

“…Okay, you came up with the idea. I’ll talk to Xiaoyan and the others about including you.”

"it is good."

Wen Zhixia thought to herself, "I'm both the director and the screenwriter. I'll use my connections to get the Ice Queen to play a minor role while I play the lead. That would be absolutely wonderful."
Lin Mengqiu thought to herself that Fanren Chan would definitely make her play a corpse. She would definitely take a look at the script when it came out. Whether the show could pass the school's preliminary selection was up to her.

What's a director anyway!
Unspoken rules...who doesn't know them?!
……

Although I've already confirmed my participation in the school anniversary gala performance at the end of next month, the main theme of campus life remains studying.

Whether it's writing the script or rehearsing for the upcoming performance, it can only be done after school on weekdays.

The first two evening sessions are usually for weekly tests.

Tonight's test is in math.

The weekly test was slightly easier than the monthly test, and moreover, math was Chen Shi'an and Lin Mengqiu's forte. The two finished the test early and spent the remaining time studying quietly.

Chen Shi'an was mainly doing integrated science practice, which was the only part he hadn't finished.

According to the plan, he should be able to basically finish all the high school science course content and accompanying exercises before the month changes.

Next month, he plans to talk to Uncle Lin and borrow the school's laboratory to do some experiments that interest him.

This semester is almost over, and next semester he plans to take humanities courses again, estimating that he can master them in less than half a semester...

He wouldn't waste the rest of his high school years. He planned to borrow books on advanced mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, computer programming, artificial intelligence, and other advanced courses to study on his own. These were things he was interested in and things he couldn't access while he was in the mountains. Now that he had the chance to come down from the mountains to attend school, he naturally didn't want to miss out.

He never studied for grades and exams. High school knowledge was just a threshold for advancing in the sea of ​​knowledge. There was no reason to stop after finishing learning.

High school was my first stop after leaving the mountain, and I will definitely travel around there in the future.

Unfortunately, I have very few holidays during the week, making it difficult to travel far. So I want to take advantage of this year or so to master what I need to learn and want to learn, so that I won't have such a systematic learning opportunity when I'm away from home in the future.

As for the route of his subsequent travels, Chen Shi'an only decided on the first step: to visit his creditors scattered all over the world and pay off their debts in person.

He hasn't planned his itinerary yet, but he'll probably visit all the places he wants to go.

This is Chen Shi'an's initial five-year plan.

There is a long way to go.

Even Chen Shi'an was largely unaware of what lay ahead for him, but he wasn't confused; instead, he looked forward to the interesting aspects of this unknown.

Just focus on doing your best in the present moment.

Lost in thought, Chen Shi'an glanced at the window and saw Old Liang, who had just walked over like a ghost.

The corridor outside was pitch black, and the classroom light reflected off his face, making him look particularly sinister.

Teacher Liang: "..."

Chen Shi'an: "..."

The two of them were relatively speechless for a moment.

Chen Shi'an smiled as a greeting, then looked at the girl beside him.

Lin Mengqiu, completely unaware that someone was outside the window, was engrossed in studying Chinese reading comprehension questions.

Ever since the stinky Taoist priest took first place in the midterm exam, the class monitor has been studying really hard lately.

I spent a lot of time, especially on Chinese and English, which I disliked the most.

Although she was slightly weaker in these two subjects in the past, she was too lazy to make up for it because she was ahead in the overall score. After all, once you reach this level, it is extremely difficult to improve.

But now that I've lost to Chen Shi'an in the exam, I have to make up for these two subjects!

The worst subjects for her, according to the Taoist priest, were Chinese and English.

My English is alright, at most he'll drag me down by three or five points, but in Chinese, my score will drop by double digits!
Occasionally, Lin Mengqiu would fantasize that if she were given the annoying cicada's Chinese and English scores, perhaps the two of them could put up a fight against the stinky Taoist priest...

Anyway, I'm determined to take back first place in this monthly exam!

Noticing Chen Shi'an's gaze, Lin Mengqiu looked up and glanced at him, and Chen Shi'an obediently turned his head back.

Just as I was concentrating on preparing to continue studying, I noticed a shadow moving outside the window...

Lin Mengqiu turned her head and looked at the window next to her.

The girl was startled when she met Old Liang's ghostly face!
She glared at Teacher Liang and then slammed the curtains shut.

Teacher Liang: "..."
