I'll give my daughter one more second.

"It's nothing. In short, I don't recommend you go to a place like Sakura-sou, where weirdos gather. Even though you yourself are kind of like an ape." For the first time, Yukino's words gave the impression that she didn't mean what she said.

This was a very rare occurrence for Wu Shen, which made him smile involuntarily.

"What's so funny?" Yukino glared at Wu Shen with the kind of look one might give a pervert.

"I always thought Yukino was the kind of person who spoke her mind and acted frankly. I never expected Yukino to have such a tsundere side."

"Tsundere?" Yukino didn't seem to understand what that meant.

"It just means not being frank, you could say it's a personality trait? Actually, it's kind of endearing," Wu Shen explained with a smile.

"That's just your own opinion. Also, don't just assign attributes or other personal information to other people." Yukino sighed deeply, saying with a hint of helplessness.

"Yes, but isn't it interesting to discover new characteristics of each other and get to know each other through constant communication?"

"It seems my worries were unnecessary. Wu Shen, you're so lively and energetic, you don't seem to want anything to happen to you."

After casually chatting for a few more minutes and successfully diverting Yukino's attention, Wu Shen said goodbye to her and they went their separate ways. Then he picked up Mai and Yege.

As night deepened, Wu Yi and Ye Ge lay asleep on either side of the bed, while Wu Shen propped himself up against the upright pillows and headboard.

Should we go to Sakura-sou? Wu Shen pondered as he took out a small pendant from the drawer and twirled it in his hand.

Hanging above is a jade piece of emerald green, shaped like a toad but with three legs. It looks very small, but the carving is exceptionally exquisite. The toad has a golden copper coin in its mouth.

If you look closely, you can see countless tiny circuit diagrams and micro-engraved characters on the pendant's cord. Under the moonlight, the jade artifact faintly emits a mysterious glow, as if it has been plated with a layer of golden light.

Inside the half-closed drawer lay many more jade pendants, each depicting a completely different, strange creature.

The advantage of going to Sakura Dormitory is that I can spend more time with Mashiro. But the problem is, what about Mai and Yoru? It's difficult to bring them into the student dormitory. And that would mean missing out on the opportunity to spend time with Yukino.

More importantly, even if I go to Sakura-sou, will I face the same interference as now? Better safe than sorry, for my own and my daughters' safety, I should bring some insurance.

Wu Shenyue's expression grew more and more serious as he pondered, and then, seemingly having made up his mind, he hung the small jade pendant around his neck.

Meanwhile, at the Yukinoshita family mansion, information about Wu Shen was also presented.

"Why is there so little?" Yukino's mother frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the amount of information gathered.

"There's nothing we can do. No matter what, our influence can't extend overseas. We can only find the information he left in Japan." His subordinates felt very helpless.

"Just an ordinary foreign student?" Yukino's father, sitting on the other side, asked after flipping through the information.

“I originally wanted to teach him a lesson and make him understand the consequences of doing such a thing. However, it’s not convenient for a foreigner to do anything too outrageous. It would be troublesome if he got entangled with the embassy and the surrounding media.” Yukino’s mother’s voice was unusually low and stern.

"In short, a family member is dating a foreign student, and there's even a suspicion of pregnancy. We absolutely cannot expose this, or what kind of example would that set? We also need to send Yukino home. If we had been a little more lenient, this would have happened!" Yukino's father was also in a bad mood because of this.

"In that case, let's use our influence and connections to find some excuse to send him back to China. This way, we can keep it a secret and also get Yukino back to her senses." Yukino's mother closed the documents, her expression calm, and finally made the safest choice.

Chapter 171 Suffering from Cultural Disadvantages

When Wu Shen arrived at school the next morning, he initially planned to ask Mr. Qian Shi after class if he could make an exception and bring two more lolis with him when he moved there.

However, as soon as class started, Wu Shen realized that he had oversimplified the incident.

The first class this morning was Hiratsuka Shizuka's Chinese class, but the first thing she did after entering the classroom was not to call roll, but to turn her gaze toward Wu Shen.

Just as he was wondering why Hiratsuka Shizuka was staring at him, she finally spoke up: "Everyone, study on your own for a while. Wu Shen, come out here, the head of student affairs wants to see you."

The Dean of Students? Looking for me? Wu Shen didn't understand what was going on, but he still subconsciously tugged at the pendant and walked out at Hiratsuka Shizuka's prompting. At the same time, the classroom erupted in a frenzy of discussion.

I overheard a few sentences, and they were mostly about how there were too many rumors, and that the school would either investigate or issue a warning.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, may I ask what happened?" Wu Shen asked halfway down the road.

"I'm not sure either, but judging from their expressions, it probably isn't anything good." Hiratsuka-sensei stopped and remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"Is it not a good thing...?" Wu Shen frowned, clearly having already connected yesterday's events with today's.

"Wu Shen, you really are a handful. You really are a problem child." Teacher Hiratsuka shook her head with a wry smile, then walked over and patted him hard on the shoulder. "But I still believe that you are definitely not the kind of person who would do those things. Something must be wrong."

As Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke, her expression grew increasingly serious: "Wu Shen, think carefully. Have you offended anyone recently?"

Wu Shen thought for a moment, then shook his head. He genuinely didn't know who he had offended. He hadn't done anything pretentious or arrogant, and the people he interacted with were mostly the same few girls. Who could he possibly have enemies with? Who would target him like this?

Wu Shen felt as if he had suffered some undeserved calamity.

"Really? That's good. Anyway, let's go to the administration office first." Teacher Hiratsuka didn't delve any further, but instead led him to the office where the head of the administration was located.

The office was bright and spacious. Since it also seemed to serve as a reception area for foreign guests, it was furnished with sofas and coffee tables. The middle-aged woman sitting at her desk by the window, facing Wu Shen, appeared to be the school's dean of students.

"Alright, Ms. Hiratsuka, thank you for your hard work. You can go back and continue teaching now." The head of the teaching department looked up, smiled, and gestured for Hiratsuka to leave.

"I'm his homeroom teacher, so I should be allowed to sit in on his classes..."

“This is a very private conversation, and I hope you can respect the student’s privacy,” the director said with a smile. Although she seemed quite amiable, Wu Shen could naturally see the meaning behind her words.

“Alright.” Hiratsuka Shizuka and the principal exchanged a glance, then rubbed their foreheads. “Wu Shen, come back to class as soon as you’re done talking.”

After waving goodbye to Wu Shen, Hiratsuka Shizuka stepped out of the office.

"So, what does the director want with me?" Wu Shen asked casually.

"So you're Wu Shen? I've heard a lot about you lately. Do you know how much of a fuss you've caused the school? Rumors are flying everywhere, and these things are damaging the school's reputation." The director narrowed his eyes, his voice becoming stern, as if he were reprimanding a student.

“You shouldn’t come to me about this; you should go find the people spreading rumors. I’m desperate too, being subjected to all sorts of wild guesses and rumors every day,” Wu Shen shrugged.

Next, the director rambled on and on with a whole bunch of nonsense. When Wu Shen translated it into Chinese, he automatically succinctly simplified the nonsense using various proverbs and sayings. In short, it was—

"Flies don't land on eggs without cracks; these things take two to tango. You need to reflect on yourself instead of shifting the blame to others. If you have faults, correct them; if not, strive to improve."

"Look at what you're saying! Are you comparing yourself to a fly and me to an egg?"

He had already realized that the dean of students looking for him couldn't be something simple. At this moment, the dean was no different from the landlord who had kicked him out yesterday. Therefore, he wasn't being very polite.

The question now is, who exactly is behind this? Wu Shen pondered. At the moment, Yang Nai seems the most suspicious, but is it really necessary for Yang Nai to go to such lengths for something so trivial?

"What fly, what egg? It's unclear." The head of the teaching department shook his head.

Wu Shen's words were full of sarcasm, but unfortunately, the director didn't understand what they meant. It has to be said that this was a disadvantage due to a lack of cultural understanding.

"These things are secondary. The most important thing is that we suspect you of cheating during the entrance exam. Now you are facing the possibility of losing your status as a formal student."

"Hmm... You only found out about something that happened half a year ago today? That makes sense." Wu Shen sighed.

If you're going to find a reason or excuse, at least make it believable. The entrance exam was six months ago, and it's only now that they're investigating the anomalies—just how slow is that? Anyone with eyes can see something's wrong.

"So what?" Knowing that someone was deliberately trying to frame him, Wu Shen didn't bother to refute or explain. It was pointless anyway. His immediate priority was to find out who was behind this.

"Starting today, you will be suspended from school indefinitely until we find the relevant evidence. Until then, go home and reflect on your actions." The director said, slapping a notice over.

The so-called indefinite suspension of classes is actually just giving them time to fabricate evidence, right? Wu Shen's current status is that of an international student. If his student status is revoked, he will have no reason to stay in Japan and will have to return to China according to regulations.

After leaving the dean's office, Wu Shen immediately tore the notice in his hand to shreds and threw it into the trash can. Since the dean's attitude was like this, there was no way he could go to Sakura Dormitory.

"Given the current situation, I have no choice but to resolve this matter first," Wu Shen thought. Since he didn't have Yang Nai's contact information, Wu Shen decided to go find Yukino first. Since he'd already been suspended from school, there was no point in going back to the classroom.

"Yukino, isn't she here?" I went to her classroom, but returned empty-handed. According to the student, she seemed to have been picked up by her older sister during class.

Wu Shen tried calling Xue Nai, but all he got was a busy signal.

He had just begun to suspect Yang Nai when Yukino encountered an unexpected situation. Could this matter really be related to her? Wu Shen couldn't help but frown.

Chapter 172 Veteran Driver Card, beep!

Just as he was about to go back to his classroom to get his bag and leave school to look for clues, he noticed Shiyu leaning against the classroom door, seemingly waiting for someone.

"You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for ages." Upon seeing Wu Shen, Shi Yu walked over confidently, completely ignoring the onlookers.

"Is there something you need from me?" Wu Shen could only feign ignorance at this point. This kind of matter absolutely couldn't be left uninvolved by unrelated people; it was also a way to protect Shi Yu.

"Why did Hiratsuka-sensei hand you over just now?"

"No, it's nothing. It's just that there have been a lot of rumors about me lately, and they're telling me to be careful about the impact." Wu Shen waved his hand, appearing completely unconcerned.

“Wu Shenjun, there’s an art to lying. There’s almost no chance you can fool me with such a clumsy lie,” Shi Yu said, narrowing her eyes and refusing to back down.

As expected, Shi Yu's intuition was very sharp. A bead of cold sweat appeared on Wu Shen's forehead.

"Don't you want to talk about it?" Shi Yu asked first when she saw that Wu Shen hadn't spoken for a long time.

"I'm not trying to show off, but I think you'd better not get involved in this," Wu Shen could only reply.

Shi Yu crossed her arms and sighed softly, "Would my involvement cause you trouble, or even make things worse?"

"Hmm..." After hesitating for a moment, Wu Shen nodded with difficulty.

"Alright, then I won't ask any further questions." After saying that, Shi Yu turned around and was about to leave.

"Huh?" Wu Shen was somewhat surprised and taken aback that Shi Yu chose to give up so quickly.

They just fooled us like that? That's way too easy!

"Why are you so surprised? I'm a light novel author, after all, so of course I know some of the taboos when describing characters. For example, a female protagonist who can't help at all but likes to meddle and get involved, and ends up dragging others down. I wouldn't write that, and naturally I wouldn't play that kind of character."

Shi Yu's eyes showed some melancholy: "Since you say I can't help you, then I probably really can't. In that case, at least let me not make things worse."

"Don't worry about it. This isn't really that serious. Everything will be back to normal in about a day or two. It's just a pity that the discussion on the novel 'Zaimuzuo' will probably have to be postponed for a day or two," Wu Shen said casually.
