I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 131 Mature Woman
Lin Zhixi was reading very attentively. As she turned the pages of "Collected Annotations on the Four Books," the version she had read in high school gradually came to mind, prompting her to compare the two versions.

The version she watched in high school was more concise, and of course, that was its only advantage... While the version she watched today was a bit more complicated, it had some essential elements that other versions lacked.

That's why, when Lin Zhixi read this book today, she felt as if she had never read it before...

As Chen Yan drove, he and Lin Zhixi discussed where to have dinner. After some discussion, they chose a congee shop.

Since it's dinner, it's not suitable to eat anything too greasy; porridge is undoubtedly a good choice.

Chen Yan ordered a bowl of mutton porridge, while Lin Zhixi ordered plain white porridge, but also a plate of pickled vegetables.

The porridge shop was not crowded, but the owner's skills were quite good, and the porridge was cooked to a very thick consistency.

"Can you eat this?" Chen Yan couldn't help but ask, looking at the white porridge in front of Lin Zhixi.

Although dinner should be light, this was far too bland and tasteless. The only seasoning was a small dish of pickled vegetables, which Chen Yan himself couldn't get used to.

"It's quite delicious, would you like some?" Lin Zhixi picked up the small dish of pickled vegetables, making a gesture as if she wanted to share some with Chen Yan.

"No, no, no." Chen Yan quickly stopped him, picked up the soy sauce that was placed aside, poured in about two spoonfuls, stirred it well, and said, "I still prefer to eat it this way."

During the meal, the two of them didn't talk much, and Chen Yan didn't try to force a conversation.

He could sense that Lin Zhixi, not just him, was also enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. Since no one had any objections, there was no need for awkward small talk that would make both of them feel uncomfortable.

Neither of them had the habit of smacking their lips while eating. Although Chen Yan didn't make any noise, he ate very quickly, and the bowl of porridge was empty in no time.

Lin Zhixi was a little slower; when Chen Yan finished eating, she still had about a third of the food left.

After dinner, Chen Yan drove Lin Zhixi to the school gate.

"Bye-bye." Chen Yan smoothly stopped the car and waved goodbye.

"See you tomorrow." Lin Zhixi nodded, then opened the car door and walked quickly towards the school gate.

Just as she was about to enter the school, she suddenly turned around and waved to Chen Yan, who was still standing in the same spot.

'Isn't this supposed to be calligraphy practice? Why does it feel like the end of a date?' Chen Yan felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. After thinking about it for about a minute without figuring it out, he stopped thinking about it and drove towards his school.

……

When Chen Yan arrived at school, it was already 7:10. The activity was about to start in 20 minutes.

After parking the car, Chen Yan walked quickly to the activity room, signed in, and then entered the classroom.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to sign in again after the event, Chen Yan would have liked to sign in and leave immediately.

Upon entering the classroom and seeing that it was almost full, Chen Yan couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Although the classroom is not large, it is almost full, with at least 130 people.

'Looks like there are still more obedient students than others, all scrambling for the event. People like me, who aren't afraid of getting burned, are a minority.' Chen Yan glanced around briefly and then simply sat down in the first row.

Although there were still a few spare seats in the back row, the area around them was already packed with people. Chen Yan didn't want to be squeezed in, so he decided to sit in a slightly more spacious spot in the front row.

After waiting for about ten minutes, during which a few more people arrived sporadically, the event officially began. ...

Before coming, Chen Yan had a general understanding of the content of today's lecture, which was about "social etiquette". He heard that the lecturer was a former teacher at the school who resigned to start his own business and apparently achieved good results.

Of course, Chen Yan had no interest in learning about any of this, but since it was inconvenient to play on his phone while sitting in the front row, he looked up at the two main speakers of the lecture.

The one on the left is a teacher at the school. Chen Yan had met her at the school before, but he didn't know her name.

As for the one on the right...

The woman wore a blue suit, was tall and slender, with her hair styled in a bun. She had a dignified oval face, delicate eyebrows and a fine nose, and exuded elegance and grace, giving off a clean, efficient, and decisive impression.

The woman looked to be in her early thirties, but Chen Yan didn't dare to make an accurate judgment, as she seemed far too mature.

Either the other person has a mature demeanor, or they have anti-aging genes, making them look younger.

Chen Yan suddenly felt a strong urge to try it.

'Damn it.' Chen Yan quickly realized his own psychological abnormality and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

'Could it be that my preference leans towards mature women?'

The more Chen Yan thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, he had an idea the moment he saw Wen Ya... but when faced with Lin Zhixi, who was even more beautiful, he felt 90% admiration and 10% desire.

Upon seeing the woman before him, Chen Yan quickly analyzed his own feelings and finally managed to come to a conclusion.

Seventy percent desire, threety percent admiration... second only to Wenya's first impression on him.

……

"Please be quiet, everyone," the teacher called out from the stage, and then the activity officially began.

"Today we are going to have a lecture on social etiquette, and the lecturer is Ms. Shen, the chairman of Jinxiu Apparel."

"Ms. Shen was also a teacher at our school. Ten years ago, she chose to resign and start her own business, founding Jinxiu Apparel. Under her hard work and leadership, Jinxiu Apparel's market value has exceeded one billion yuan, providing more than a thousand jobs for society."

"As an outstanding alumna, the school specially invited her to give a lecture."

"Next, please give a round of applause to welcome Professor Shen to give us his lecture."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of students applauded enthusiastically, and the classroom erupted in applause.

The teacher then handed the podium over to Ms. Shen.

After the applause subsided, Ms. Shen bowed slightly, revealed a dignified and proper smile, and said in a clear voice:

"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Shulan, and I will be giving a lecture on 'Social Etiquette'."

As the lecture began, some people in the back row started playing on their phones... After all, for college students, they're just there to get credits; they're already doing a favor by showing up, so don't expect them to be serious.

(I had class this morning, then spent the whole afternoon in the lab. I only managed to write 8,000 words by the time I was completely exhausted. The dorm lights are going out soon, so I'm going to take a shower. I'll try to write 10,000 words tomorrow.)
