Chapter 358: Campus Scholar System (30)

Xie Zong could not see Principal Feng's expression at this moment, and he continued happily:

"I've met this kid Jiang; he's truly excellent. Not only are his grades good, but he's also filial—not the type of Scholar who just buries his head in books. Looking at it this way, my daughter is quite capable. She doesn't date, but when she does, she picks a Scholar who is outstanding in every aspect. Heh heh!"

Principal Feng's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea: "Although it is perfectly normal for children at this age to develop feelings for an outstanding peer, if they really start dating, it will inevitably affect their respective studies and lives..."

"It's fine, it's fine." The high-spirited Xie Zong waved his hand. "As long as they are happy, let them date. They are both good kids and have their own plans in mind; what bad influence could there be? If something really happens, aren't we parents here to back them up?"

Xie Zong thought to himself: The worst-case scenario is that his daughter sleeps with him and ends up pregnant with Jiang's child.

If Jiang refuses to acknowledge it, then he will raise the child himself! He would announce to the outside world that it was a miracle baby born to the child's mother at an advanced age. In any case, he would never wrong the child, nor would he delay his daughter from finding a second spring.

However, this was the worst-case plan.

It would be better if it didn't happen at all.

For this reason, Xie Zong and his wife nearly scratched their scalps bald.

One learned to surf the internet like a young person and bought a pile of popular contraceptives from an online Mall.

The other signed up for a bunch of online courses specifically teaching adolescent girls how to protect themselves and, while protecting themselves, how to please themselves. She would forward them to her daughter from time to time, telling her to watch the replays whenever she had the chance, so that if she encountered this situation, she wouldn't be completely clueless and end up forcing herself on the Scholar, eventually causing a "life-and-death" disaster.

Xie Yang was confused at first.

Until one day when she returned home and received a concerned and solemn gift from her parents. Upon opening it, she found a full box of condoms of various specifications, sizes, and scents.

In the family group chat of three that she had created after transmigrating, there sat a "smug little person" sticker, sent by her father:

【Daughter, take him down as soon as possible! Our Xie Family will have Scholar genes in the future too! (Flower-throwing)】

Immediately following that was a rain of red envelopes bombarded by her parents, interspersed with her mother Ms. Deng's barely concealed excitement in a voice message:

"Daughter, this is dating capital for you two to go out. If it's not enough, just ask for more. Mom and Dad have money; don't try to save it for us."

"……"

Xie Yang understood.

My goodness, the parents in this life are too open-minded!

Even as a ten-thousand-year-old veteran who had transmigrated through N lives and experienced N romances, she found it a bit hard to handle and unbearable.

Originally, the two hours of video tutoring between her and Jiang Yinian were purely "each getting what they needed"—he cleared his Tasks, and she assisted him in clearing Tasks to complete her own.

After being messed with by her parents, when she faced him again, looking at his clear, perfect jawline and his occasionally bobbing Adam's apple, Xie Yang couldn't help but think of other things.

"What's wrong? Didn't you understand? Then I'll try a different approach."

Jiang Yinian, on the other side of the video call, saw that she hadn't made a sound for a long time and thought she hadn't understood, so he was planning to explain it a different way.

"……It's nothing." Xie Yang snapped back to reality, coughed lightly, waved away the inappropriate "yellow waste" in her mind, and said seriously, "You explained it very well, continue."

She paused—

"Cough, which question were you on?"

"……"

【See, see! I told you, Host, this method you found to exploit loopholes doesn't work!】

The Scholar System jumped around in Jiang Yinian's mind:

【Face-to-face is the most correct and fastest way to clear Tasks! I told you not to ignore me!】

Jiang Yinian: "……"

What is that supposed to mean, that he ignored it?

How was he supposed to listen?

He was in class at First High School, and Xie Yang was at a closed-off training camp for the Provincial Team over a hundred kilometers away.

Even if he stopped taking tutoring jobs at night, if he rushed to her training camp overnight, the security guard wouldn't let him in anyway!

The idea from this stupid system was completely unfeasible.

Jiang Yinian rubbed his temples; being bound to this "visitor from beyond the heavens" always felt like he had boarded a pirate ship.

On second thought: isn't this thing a high-tech product? As long as it is a technological product, there must be a way to analyze, study, and overcome it. It's just a matter of time.

He decided that he would lock horns with it for the rest of his life!

The pain of the electric shocks couldn't be suffered in vain; he had to find a way to overcome it no matter what!

If it could be said that Jiang Yinian had previously harbored some uncertainty about his choice of university major.

Then from this moment on, he clearly determined the direction he would pursue in the future—Astrophysics.

Once his goal was clear, his preparation for the College Entrance Examination became even more vigorous—

In class, while other students finished one practice paper, he finished two or three, and specifically chose the difficult ones to work on; during lunch breaks, while other students were napping at their desks or rushing to finish homework, he was in the library looking for introductory books on Astrophysics to build a foundation.

The Scholar System was confused: 【Host, your own grades are already good enough, there's no need to work so hard. Save some energy for clearing Tasks at night!】

If it knew that everything Jiang Yinian was doing was to one day dismantle, analyze, and study it, who knows what kind of expression it would have.

In a flash, it was the end of the term.

Xie Yang's closed-off training camp also came to an end.

The coach approved her return to school to take the final exams and, incidentally, to go home and rest for a few days.

She carried a backpack full of local specialties bought in the Provincial Capital to Jianglan Mingzhu to visit Jiang Nainai, and incidentally to discuss tutoring for the winter break with Jiang Yinian.

Jiang Nainai was very happy to know that she had joined the Provincial Women's Volleyball Team, had limited vacation time, and yet had specifically come to visit her upon returning home, so she insisted on keeping her for lunch.

"Niannian, you keep Yang Yang company and chat for a while; Grandma will make you some preserved meat claypot rice. If you think it's good, take some back for your parents to try when you leave later."

After saying this, Jiang Nainai picked up a string of sausages that had been cured and dried after the weather turned cold, along with a piece of soy-sauce meat, and ducked into the kitchen to get busy.

"Thank you, Grandma, then I won't be polite."

Xie Yang smiled and accepted.

She turned to look at Jiang Yinian.

The midwinter sunlight spilled onto him through the bright and clean floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a faint golden glow on the fine hairs on his skin.

Jiang Yinian noticed her gaze and turned his head to look over: "What's wrong? Is it that you still haven't understood the question from yesterday? Sit down first, I'll go get the paper."

After saying that, he went back to his room to get paper and a pen.

Xie Yang: "..."

When she left the house, her mother, Ms. Deng, sent her a massive red envelope, and then, unable to hide her excitement, whispered to her:

"Have a good time on your date! If you're tired, just find a five-star hotel; just make sure you take precautions. Mom isn't an old fogey; I won't restrict you from staying out overnight. After all, when I was your age, I was often whisked away by your dad to have fun..."

"Besides, you can actually tell a lot about a man's character from this aspect. When Mom chose your dad back then, it was because I felt he was very considerate and attentive in this regard, didn't engage in chauvinism, and would definitely be someone who cherishes his partner in daily life."

"No matter how good the grades are, if the character isn't up to par, it's useless. So, observe carefully while you enjoy yourself. Good luck, daughter! Mom believes in you!"

Thinking of this, Xie Yang couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.

Her parents probably couldn't imagine it even if they scratched their heads bald: he was truly tutoring her, in the literal sense of the word.
