Chapter 101: After graduation, we’ll get married at once.

Translator: 549690339

A luxury business vehicle stopped in an urban village that seemed entirely out of place, attracting the attention of many passersby.

Soon, the car door opened, and Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan got out.

After the car had driven away.

Lin Zichen looked at Shen Qinghan the first chance he got and couldn’t help but complain, “I mean, this is just weird. You went to take an adaptation test, how did you end up with a master out of the blue?”

“I find it strange too, it was so sudden…”

Shen Qinghan still thought the whole situation was ridiculous, blaming her own too-gentle nature and inability to argue, leading to haphazardly becoming someone’s disciple.

Lin Zichen felt a bit of a headache, “Forget it, let’s wait and see. If the person has no ill will and seems to be of good character, then there’s no harm in acknowledging this cheap master. If their character is not good, once you’re strong and independent, you can just end this so-called master-disciple relationship.”

“Mhm.”

Shen Qinghan gave a barely audible response, like a child who had done something wrong.

At that moment, the family door opened.

Zhang Wanxin stood at the doorway, calling out to the two by the roadside, “What are you standing there for? Aren’t you coming in?”

Hearing her, the two stopped chatting and quickly went inside the house.

Shen Jianye and Xu Meng had been very busy lately, and Shen Qinghan was mostly eating at Lin Zichen’s home, rarely going back to her own.

In the evening, at Mingxiang Restaurant.

The two families put aside all other matters, finding time to gather together to celebrate the children’s great results in the adaptation test they took that day.

Lin Zichen scored second in the entire province, which surprised no one as it seemed very reasonable.

But Shen Qinghan became the provincial top scorer. Both sets of parents were stunned, thinking the kids were playing a joke on them.

It wasn’t until they witnessed Shen Qinghan checking the adaptation test scores on the official college entrance examination website and saw the figure of 16% displayed that the parents believed it was real.

“My daughter really is the top scorer, Jianye, am I dreaming?”

Xu Meng’s face was full of disbelief, feeling it was too surreal.

Her daughter had always been just a pretty face without anything extraordinary about her from childhood till now.

Yet, today, she had suddenly emerged from obscurity, surpassing Lin Zichen to become the provincial top scorer?

She wouldn’t even dare to dream of this!

On the other hand, Shen Jianye also found it hard to believe, but with the evidence right before his eyes, he had to forcefully explain,

“There have always been dark horse candidates like Qinghan in previous years, many of whom seemed ordinary during their three years of high school and not particularly athletic, but they just surprised everyone in the adaptation test.”

“That’s true, but going from a dark horse to the top scorer is a bit much.”

Xu Meng still felt it was so unreal.

Zhang Wanxin laughed, “Well, there’s no need to fuss over these details. What’s important is that the two of them can go to the same university now, it’s predestined fate.”

“That’s right.”

Xu Meng sincerely smiled.

She had always worried her daughter couldn’t keep up with Lin Zichen and that the two would drift apart as they grew up.

Now that problem was solved, no need to worry anymore.

The childhood sweethearts, one a top scorer and the other a runner-up, were a perfect match, destined to become an enviable couple that no one could split apart.

Around nine in the evening.

The family dinner ended.

Each family took their leave to their respective homes.

Around ten-thirty at night.

Shen Qinghan, having taken a bath, dressed in pajamas and went to find Lin Zichen.

Seeing her come looking for Lin Zichen in pajamas late at night, Zhang Wanxin teased, “Han Han, are you here to sleep with Xiao Chen again?”

“No, it’s not that, I just have some important things to talk about with Xiao Chen in person.”

Shen Qinghan, her face flushed, denied it.

The words ‘sleep together’ sounded too misleading, as if implying something more intimate, making her quite embarrassed.

“Aunt Xin, I’m going upstairs to find Xiao Chen.”

After dropping that line, Shen Qinghan walked towards the staircase.

Once she had vanished at the stairwell, Zhang Wanxin immediately said to Lin Yansheng, “They’ve just finished their exams and she has something so important that she must discuss face-to-face, do you think Han Han is going to confess to Xiao Chen?”

“Probably.”

Lin Yansheng, engrossed in the kung fu soccer match on TV, replied absently.

Zhang Wanxin went on to herself, “The two of them are both eighteen and have graduated from high school, they are proper adults now, it’s indeed time for them to be together.”

“Yeah, date for four years in college, and get married right after graduation.”

“After graduation, get pregnant, with twins, a boy, and a girl.”

“Tsk, perfect!”

As she spoke, Zhang Wanxin’s charming face, still full of allure, was covered with a smile, blissfully imagining the wonderful life of three generations living together in the future.

Upstairs, in the corridor.

Shen Qinghan knocked on Lin Zichen’s room door, and as soon as she entered, she said to him, “Zi Chen, I have something very important to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“It’s about what happened at the base during the day.”

“Something at the base?”

Lin Zichen was somewhat puzzled and closed the door, inviting her to sit on the bed and talk slowly.

Shen Qinghan kicked off her slippers, sat cross-legged on the bed hugging a pillow, and then said:

“Today at the base, that inexplicable master who acknowledged me used spiritual power to give me a full-body checkup to see why my genetic fusion compatibility was so high.”

“The final result was that there is nothing special about my body, no different from an ordinary person.”

“She couldn’t find out anything about my body leaking water.”

After listening to Shen Qinghan, Lin Zichen felt quite surprised.

Could Yuan Dongzhi, who could manipulate dozens of meters high surging waves at sea, not discern the secrets of Shen Qinghan’s body?

It seems that Shen Qinghan’s body is even more mysterious than imagined…

Thinking this, Lin Zichen seriously said to Shen Qinghan, “About your body leaking water and having an extremely high water affinity, let’s not let a third person know for now, let’s wait and see how things develop.”

“Our current understanding of this world is still very naive. What we know is only limited to what we can see in front of us, we could say we know nothing.”

“Some things, once exposed, we cannot judge what kind of consequences will follow, whether good or bad.”

“Therefore, for now, let’s be conservative and prioritize stability.”

Lin Zichen continued, “Whether it’s your body leaking water, having an extremely high water affinity, or the strange sounds heard twice in the sea, we’ll gradually research them as we grow stronger and more knowledgeable. There’s no need to rush.”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll listen to you,” Shen Qinghan obediently nodded.

After speaking, she then added, “Oh right, I forgot to tell you something.”

“Back at the base, my master told me I have a senior sister, and when I saw her photo, I found she looks a lot like Bai Xue.”

“You should remember Bai Xue, right? The white-haired girl we got along well with in the second grade, then suddenly transferred schools and left.”

“I have her photo. I’ll send it to you to see.”

Shen Qinghan took out her phone and sent the photo to Lin Zichen through WeChat.

Bai Xue?

At the mention of this name, Lin Zichen’s eyebrows twitched, and dormant memories began to assail him.

Quickly, he took out his phone, opened WeChat, and clicked on the photo Shen Qinghan sent. What he saw was a pretty-faced, white-haired girl with a good figure.

Indeed, she looked somewhat like Bai Xue.

But the eyes were too sharp, the aura too imposing, not at all like the Bai Xue from his memories, making it difficult to confirm if it was the same person.

However, Lin Zichen didn’t care much about whether this white-haired girl was Bai Xue or not.

Unlike Shen Qinghan, in his heart, Bai Xue was just a passerby from his elementary school days, not someone with whom he had any special connection.

At this moment, what captivated him the most was the background in the photo, with the plants looking very peculiar, almost like alien species.

“Do you know where this photo’s background is?”

“I don’t know, I didn’t ask…”

“Why don’t you ask your cheap master about it on WeChat?”

“Sure, I’ll ask right now.”

Although Shen Qinghan was somewhat embarrassed to contact Yuan Dongzhi, seeing Lin Zichen’s desire to know about the photo’s background, she braced herself to inquire for him.

After sending the message, Yuan Dongzhi did not reply immediately.

She must be away from her phone at the moment.

Lin Zichen wasn’t in a hurry and asked Shen Qinghan to open Yuan Dongzhi’s WeChat Moments to see what kind of person this so-called master was.

Unfortunately, the Moments were set to be visible for only three days, and there was nothing to see.

The only thing they could see was the WeChat profile picture, which was a solitary lotus flower growing atop the water.

About ten minutes later, Yuan Dongzhi replied.

Just two brief words: Origin Land.
