Chapter 78: 78. Shen Qinghan’s Superpower

Translator: 549690339

Seeing that the “Survival of the Fittest” achievement was completed, Lin Zichen ended the personal challenge and didn’t waste any more time on the Martial Stage.

Afterward, with everyone watching, he and the female principal walked toward the administrative building.

Shen Qinghan originally intended to return to the classroom but was asked by Lin Zichen to accompany him to the administrative building, so she followed him with her head lowered.

When they arrived at the office in the academic building, the female principal couldn’t contain her joy any longer and burst into laughter in front of them.

After laughing for a while, she finally congratulated Lin Zichen on becoming the top student in the whole school.

Then, recalling the scene where Lin Zichen instantly defeated Chen Wuxing, she couldn’t help but ask, “You even defeated Chen Wuxing in mere seconds, Zi Chen, you must still be hiding your strength, right?”

“Not bad, I’m just hiding a tiny bit.”

“I think it’s more than a tiny bit. Chen Wuxing just recently took the special admission test for Kyoto University. I’ve seen his score; he can lift a 690kg barbell with one hand. Even so, he was easily taken down by you with one kick on the Martial Stage, so it seems your strength must be at least 800kg.”

“The principal really has divine intuition. I just tested it at home last week; it’s 795kg.”

Having said that, Lin Zichen smiled and asked, “By the way, Principal, when can I get the 8,810 yuan from the prize pool? ”

“You can have it now.” The female principal took out her phone, opened WeChat, and said, “Come, let’s add each other on WeChat, and I’ll transfer it to you directly.”

After the transfer.

The female principal continued to chat with Lin Zichen.

They talked about many things—about representing the school in martial arts competitions, about which universities to consider for the future, and some other trivial matters.

During this time, Shen Qinghan just sat quietly on the side, listening to their conversation and not daring to play with her phone.

About half an hour of chatting passed.

Lin Zichen felt that it was enough and stopped discussing these matters with the female principal.

Instead, he mentioned that both he and Shen Qinghan really enjoyed swimming and requested to use the competition swimming pool inside the gym.

He wanted to use it at any time, and it had to be the kind that is not open to others.

When using it, they would block the entrance so no one else could come in, ensuring that only he and Shen Qinghan were in the swimming pool.

Without a second thought, the female principal agreed.

Seeing her so readily agree, Lin Zichen pushed his luck further, requesting that the cameras be covered when he used it.

The reason was that he didn’t like the idea of being watched while swimming in his trunks; it would make him feel uncomfortable.

Upon hearing such a request, the female principal raised her eyebrows.

These two little ones, not only did they want the swimming pool to themselves, but they also wanted to block the cameras?

What were they planning to do?

Although she was curious, the female principal didn’t probe too deeply. Instead, she opened a drawer, took out a key, handed it to Lin Zichen, and said with a smile:

“Zi Chen, since you want it, from now on, that swimming pool in the gym will be exclusively yours and Qinghan’s. ”

“I will collect all the keys from the other teachers at the evening meeting, so they won’t be able to use this swimming pool.”

With that, she put away her smile and reminded them in the tone of an elder, “But Zi Chen, you two are still young, and you must be careful when there’s no one watching over you in the pool. Don’t let anything fatal happen.”

Lin Zichen found this remark somewhat strange but didn’t think much of it and simply replied:

“Hmm, we will be careful.”

After leaving the administrative building and returning to the classroom,

the classroom was empty; everyone else was outside attending their martial arts training classes.

Lin Zichen didn’t plan to join the class and sent a WeChat message to Han Yuanfeng to say he was going to leave school early and head home.

Immediately after, he packed his things and left the school with Shen Qinghan.

On the way home, Shen Qinghan mentioned that she was already quite practiced in singing, but her duet with Li Chuxin didn’t harmonize well and needed more practice. She asked if Lin Zichen could accompany her for half an hour of rehearsal in the evening?

Lin Zichen happily agreed.

Shen Qinghan’s commitment to the singing competition was exactly what he wanted to see.

He hoped Shen Qinghan could exhibit herself on a large stage and find her confidence, so she would no longer be as introverted and insecure as she was now.

Shen Qinghan was inherently excellent, intelligent, and beautiful; she shouldn’t live the way she was now.

He was well aware that Shen Qinghan’s introverted and insecure nature was closely related to his own dazzling presence.

In fact, it could be said to be entirely because he shone too brightly.

A firefly, if alone in the dark night sky, would be the brightest star.

But in the presence of a bright moon, the light of the firefly would pale in comparison.

That evening, at Shen Qinghan’s home.

After dinner, Shen Jianye and Xu Meng were correcting test papers in the living room.

Meanwhile, from upstairs came Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan’s singing voices, as well as their laughter from when the singing went off key.

“Wife, don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate for them to be alone in a room playing around now that they are both grown up?” Shen Jianye suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Xu Meng was almost furious, she glared at him and snapped:

“What’s wrong with that?”

“They’ve grown up together since they were little; what’s wrong with them playing in a room together?”

“Who are you, an old man, to object to this?”

“Shen, I’m warning you not to meddle in other people’s business!”

“Or else I won’t let it go!”

Xu Meng was truly angry, unable to comprehend what was going through her husband’s mind, criticizing their daughter and Lin Zichen for being together by themselves as being inappropriate. Was he out of his mind? He was just asking for a scolding!
