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

Chapter 148 Mother and Daughter
Shen Jianan lay on the sofa, holding an ice pack to her face with her left hand, while casually scrolling through WeChat and QQ with her right.

He was in a very bad mood right now; if you were to analyze it carefully, it would probably be half frustration and half anger.

He hadn't lost face like this in a long time, especially in a high-traffic area like a milk tea shop near the school.

But he didn't know what to do, since he didn't even know the other party's identity, let alone seek revenge.

As for regaining face through Xu Ning...

The thought only flashed through Shen Jianan's mind for a moment before he decisively abandoned it.

It wasn't that he thought bullying girls was tasteless, but he knew that if he went any further, the school leaders would get involved.

A student who can get into one of the top five universities in China, and with a bit of effort, even Tsinghua or Peking University, is a "treasure" in any school.

He might be fine if he confessed his feelings or pestered the other person a little, but if he went any further, the school would crack down on him.

Just as Shen Jianan was filled with frustration and anger and didn't know how to vent it, his finger, which was scrolling through his WeChat Moments, suddenly stopped.

The screen showed the school campus wall.

The campus wall sounds sophisticated, but it's actually just an ordinary account. Students can post their complaints, confess their feelings, and so on on this account, which will then publish these things to the public.

Normally, the walls of the school are covered with things like confessions of love and lost and found notices, but today...

[Haha, the messenger of justice has stepped in and beaten "Rich Guy" into a pulp.]

【(video)】

Shen Jianan took a deep breath, his fingers trembling as he tapped the video, and then the last shred of hope in his heart completely vanished.

The video is short and shows him being pounded on the table by Chen Yan like a dead pig in a bubble tea shop.

Obviously, there were school students in the bubble tea shop at that time who filmed the video and posted it online.

Shen Jianan's face was gloomy. He exited the video and carefully looked at the comments copied on the campus wall.

[The point about good triumphing over evil (thumbs up, jpg)]

[Hahaha, isn't Shen Jianan usually quite the actor? Is he just playing dumb this time?]

Support divine justice.

It looks like you're pinching it.

Am I the only one who thinks that "righteous guy" is handsome?

He's really handsome!

Shen Jianan read every comment carefully and then made a rough estimate.

Sixty percent of the comments mocked him, thirty percent praised the boy for being handsome, and the remaining ten percent remained neutral and observed.

As for those who openly supported him, not a single one did.

Shen Jianan knew that because of his flamboyant behavior at school, he was not popular. Apart from a few followers he had acquired through money, most people kept their distance from him.

Of course, knowing this was one thing, but seeing the overwhelmingly negative comments in the comment section, Shen Jianan's breathing became increasingly heavy. When his anger reached its limit, he suddenly threw his phone away and let out a low growl.

"Bang." The phone crashed to the ground, and cracks resembling a spider web appeared on the screen.

Just as Shen Jianan was about to take a shower to calm down, his phone, which had fallen to the ground, suddenly rang.

Judging from the sound, someone must have sent him a WeChat message.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Jianan decided to pick up his phone first to see who had sent the message.

He tapped the screen and saw that the person who sent him the message was one of his usual followers.

[Boss, I've found a clue. Xu Ning is probably being kept by a sugar daddy.]

【(video)】

Shen Jianan's eyes lit up, and he quickly clicked on the video... In the video, Xu Ning got into a Panamera with that boy.

"A beautiful girl in the top class is suspected of being kept by someone outside the school... This headline is definitely going to go viral." Shen Jianan slapped his thigh hard, then quickly logged out of WeChat, switched to a different account to add the school wall, and prepared to post the headline and video together on the wall.

Shen Jianan was doing all this with great enthusiasm, expecting this topic to cause a huge uproar at school, completely unaware that a greenbottle fly was landing on his shoulder, taking in everything that had just happened.

……

Half past nine in the evening.

Xu Ning and two other students walked out of the elevator together. As soon as they stepped out of the building, a slightly chilly evening breeze enveloped them.

The evenings in April were still a bit chilly. Xu Ning wrapped her scarf tighter around herself and quickened her pace as she walked out of the residential area.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the residential area, she saw a woman standing across the street. The woman noticed her coming out of the residential area immediately and waved to her with a smile.

"Mom," Xu Ning called out, and seeing that no cars were passing by, she ran over.

"How was your tutoring session tonight?" Li Hui asked casually as she helped her daughter tie her scarf again.

"That's fine." Xu Ning took Li Hui's arm and said gently, "Anyway, the college entrance exam is coming soon. We can just fill in the gaps in our knowledge during this time and do some more practice problems to keep our skills up."

"Mmm." Li Hui nodded. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Anyway, your scores in the other four subjects in your first college entrance exam were already quite good. As long as you do normally in Chinese and Math, you won't do too badly."

"Yeah, we're just taking the other four exams this time to get some extra points," Xu Ning chimed in. "I've been focusing my energy on math lately, as long as I keep my math score up, it'll be fine."

Because of the scoring system for the college entrance examination in Jianghai Province, the final score for a single subject is not based on the exam score, but on the exam ranking.

If you only get 12 points on the exam but rank first among all candidates, you can get a total of 100 points.

Therefore, after the first college entrance examination, some people who are satisfied with their first results will choose not to take this subject in the second college entrance examination, so that those who were originally ranked lower can rise in the ranking and thus improve their final score.

However, recently many schools have set requirements for top students. No matter how well they do on the first test, they still have to take the test again. They don't expect their scores to improve, but simply want to maintain their ranking and prevent those behind them from improving their scores as their ranking rises.

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the parking lot.

As she got into the car, Li Hui seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, your Aunt Deng's son picked you up today. What's he like?"

"It's fine," Xu Ning said succinctly.

"Couldn't you be a little more detailed?" Li Hui, who has a good relationship with her daughter, joked, "They specially took time out of their schedules to pick you up, and all you say is 'pretty good.' Could you be a little more detailed?"

"Hmm~" Xu Ning pondered for a moment, organizing her thoughts, and said, "His physical appearance is outstanding, he's very tall and handsome, and he has a great temperament."

"As for his personality, he gives people a warm and welcoming feeling when you're around him; when he's doing things, he thinks three steps ahead for every one step he takes, and he has a strong ability to observe and control the situation." This is Xu Ning's assessment of Chen Yan after spending less than three hours with him today.

As for the final phrases "think three steps ahead before taking one step" and "regarding the situation...", these were all things she sensed from the "contradictions" between Chen Yan and Shen Jianan.

Although the argument at the milk tea shop seemed to be between two students whose quarrel escalated, Xu Ning, as a close bystander, saw everything very clearly.

Throughout the entire incident, Chen Yan remained calm, even exuding an air of confidence, as if everything was going according to plan.

And judging from how things unfolded, that was indeed the case... Shen Jianan was easily provoked and ended up getting a severe beating, so he was completely outmatched.

This was Chen Yan's first time meeting Shen Jianan. However, despite not knowing each other before, Chen Yan quickly grasped Shen Jianan's personality and took control of the situation.

Although Shen Jianan's personality is easy to understand, someone who can make arrangements in such a short time like Chen Yan can only be described as "rare".

"Such a high evaluation?" Li Hui fastened her seatbelt, looked at her daughter, and asked with some puzzlement, "I know he's handsome, your Aunt Deng showed me his picture, and I can understand that he has a gentle personality, but how did you come to that conclusion?"

"I just could tell," Xu Ning said coquettishly. "Let's not talk about this anymore, I'm going to relax by looking at my phone for a bit."

Xu Ning has always had strong self-control, so Li Hui didn't strictly guard against electronic products like other parents did in the period leading up to the college entrance examination.

"Okay, you go ahead and play. I'm going to drive now."

After turning on her phone, Xu Ning opened WeChat and casually browsed her Moments.

However, when her gaze fell on the latest post on WeChat Moments on the school's wall, her previously smiling face suddenly turned pale.

[A beautiful girl in an elite class is suspected of being kept by someone outside the school]

【(video)】

This is a video that has been clearly cut out of its beginning and end. Coupled with this eye-catching title, it immediately makes people subconsciously think in this erotic direction.

Based on the video's shooting angle, Xu Ning quickly pinpointed the shooting location—a residential building near the parking lot.

But who actually took the photo?
Due to the lack of information, Xu Ning couldn't think of an answer to this question for the time being.

After taking a deep breath, Xu Ning opened her chat with her homeroom teacher, intending to let the teacher handle the matter.

But before she could send her message, her homeroom teacher sent her a message first.

[Wen Ning: Xiao Ning, your brother has already told me about what happened on the school wall.]

Wen Ning: Don't worry, the school will definitely investigate and find out the truth behind this slander.

[Wen Ning: We've already contacted the management personnel at the school wall. Tomorrow evening, after you come to the school, go directly to the Dean of Students' office. Your brother will also be there, as will the other parent. We'll resolve the issue once and for all.]

[Wen Ning: We've already asked you to delete the post you made on the school wall. Don't overthink it. Just focus on preparing for your exams.]

'My... my brother?' Xu Ning blinked, quickly realizing who the brother her homeroom teacher was referring to was.

'Brother Chen Yan? How did he know?' Xu Ning was a little puzzled, after all, she couldn't figure out how Chen Yan had added it to their school's campus wall.

Of course, amidst her confusion, Xu Ning also felt a sense of security... Just as she was about to take action, she discovered that the other party had already made all the arrangements, and all she needed to do was go to the school tomorrow to handle the issue.

Thinking of this, Xu Ning exited her WeChat Moments and opened her chat with Chen Yan.

Xu Ning poked you.

[Chen Yan: (Confused, jpg)]

[Xu Ning: Thank you, Brother Chen Yan.]

[Xu Ning: (smiling face, jpg)]

Chen Yan: ...

[Chen Yan: You're talking about the school wall incident, right? It's a small matter. We can go to the dean's office together tomorrow.]

While typing, Chen Yan also felt some regret. Due to the existence of the special skill [Invalid Filming], he actually sensed that someone was secretly filming him.

At the time, he thought the person was just taking pictures of the car and incidentally took a picture of the car owner, not realizing that the other party was up to something like this.

I should have just activated the "invalid recording" function back then, rendering their phone unusable...

Xu Ning: Mm-hmm.

[Xu Ning: By the way, how did you know about our school's campus wall, brother?]

[Chen Yan: I overheard people talking at the bubble tea shop, so I added them on the way.]

[Xu Ning: (Suddenly realizing, jpg)]

……

Asking others for the Campus Wall account was clearly just a fabricated excuse by Chen Yan. In fact, the reason he was able to add Campus Wall was entirely because he happened to see Campus Wall's WeChat ID through the [Fly Tracker], and simply searched for and added it.

After chatting with Xu Ning for a few more minutes, Chen Yan put down his phone, looked at Wen Ning who was complaining to Wen Ya across from him, picked up his cup and took a sip of milk.

"Sis, you have no idea, Chun Chun is a mangy dog." Wen Ning said, showing Wen Ya her phone screen.

"Look, when girls don't like him and tell him to stay away, he starts spreading rumors about them."

Wen Ning's tone was extremely angry, clearly indicating that Shen Jianan's behavior had broken her defenses.

For a promising student to encounter this situation less than two months before the college entrance examination, if their mentality is even slightly weak, they have basically already lost half of their chances in the exam.

If Shen Jianan's previous behavior was just a half-crossing of the line, this time he has completely crossed the line.

After venting a little, Wen Ning's mood improved considerably. She then turned to Chen Yan, gave him a thumbs up, and said:

"Chen Yan, I saw the video of you beating him up. You did a great job! That's how you beat up thugs!"

"You even got into a fight?" Wen Ya was more concerned about Chen Yan's safety and subconsciously asked, "Are you hurt?"

"What injuries could he possibly suffer? He's practically beaten Shen Jianan to a pulp." Wen Ning chuckled, then pulled out the video of the fight and showed it to Wen Ya.

"Sis, look! Your boyfriend has given someone a concussion."

"Try not to fight with people in the future." Wen Ya's tone was gentle, but her attitude was quite serious. She looked at Chen Yan and said, "If you win, you lose money; if you lose, you go to the hospital. There's no need to fight with people. It's not shameful for the lucky ones to give way."
