Don't you like it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da looked back at him in confusion: \"What Langmei Xian, how 'lang' (flirty\u002Fwild) is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Xiang: \"It's... it's just puffed food!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shuyao, who was lying down, was as quiet as if she had been dead for three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da was baffled: \"Do you know why Laozi wanted to write the 'Tao Te Ching'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean? Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because Laozi is willing! Do I need your consent if I don't like puffed food?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Xiang keenly captured the keyword: \"Then what do you like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll buy it for Shuyao, let Shuyao win back this face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da teased: \"I like thin legs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Xiang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shuyao suddenly kicked her legs, changing from sitting upright to sitting with her legs stretched out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da quickly added: \"But it must be on the right person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shuyao pulled her legs back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole person was like the Twin Towers in 2001, seemingly still standing, but actually already smoking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Xiang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you adjust the key bindings of my goddess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the back row of the classroom, Fan Junwei was holding a shiny razor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhai Da asked him to help buy snacks just now, he had handed this razor to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't count as a gift, because it was borrowed and had to be returned later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da told Fan Junwei to pay attention to his image, shave every day, and he would be more energetic; he didn't say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Junwei subconsciously touched the beard on his fat face. Few boys at this age had stubble, but everyone's constitution was different, and some people would grow a thick layer of fluff, which didn't look good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He usually appeared a bit sloppy, and the beard on his face was a big reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Junwei just took it as Zhai Da hoping he could have a better image at school, and accepted this little suggestion from a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't recognize that this was the one he had picked up in front of him that day. After all, Zhai Da had searched for several hours that day, and he couldn't remember clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The afternoon study was still proceeding as planned, but before the evening self-study, the head teacher Ding Rong issued a \"Third Mock Exam\" notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be the last major exam before the college entrance exam. The time had actually been set a long time ago, but school life always makes people forget the urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the province-wide subject level test, all students took it at their own school, and the first and second-year students had two days off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the conventional rules, after the third mock exam, no school would arrange unified exams anymore to avoid affecting the students' mindset, and for ordinary students, the third mock exam scores wouldn't be much different from the college entrance exam scores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because it was organized by each school, it meant that this would be Zhai Da's solo battle, and Lu Wei would have no chance to participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the podium, Ding Rong said: \"Everyone, adjust your mindset, don't be nervous, and you will have a day off after the exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da thought to himself that Maofang Middle School was still not good enough... a trash school, it was already the third mock exam, and they still had a day off like the second mock exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those top high schools wished they could weld the school gates shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm... the windows might also be welded shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The polarization in the class was even more serious. The happy guys who had completely given up didn't care about the mock exams at all; even if they mocked to the sky, it was still that many points, and they were looking forward to that day off even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those who were still studying were anxious, worrying about gains and losses for a few points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, today... the class of 58 people only had 53 left. Two more students had recognized reality after the subject level test and completely gave up their studies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the third mock exam ended, there would be even fewer people. In Zhai Da's memory, on the eve of the college entrance exam, there were only forty-something people in the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a regular high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The diversion of fate had actually begun long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, people's fates are diverting at all times, with passive acceptance and active reconciliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ding Rong left, the classroom returned to noise again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da took out the [High School Math Book (Lu Wei Edition)] and continued to study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More talk is useless, just do it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night, in the only villa community in Dongyang County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siwen returned home and was still immersed in the unavoidable \"TOEFL course.\" The fashionable female teacher was picked up by a special car again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the tea room belonging to Lu Zetao on the first floor, this old handsome guy had been sitting alone for a whole night with a cup of tea and a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a family with a successful career, but he didn't play the main role in business. His decisive wife, Qian Yarong, had been a person with a strong desire for career and control since she was young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, it was a strong desire for control, and her career ambition had to be strong as well. After the two started a business together and gradually improved, the evolution from \"man strong, woman weak\" to \"equal\" and then \"woman strong, man weak\" happened year by year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lu Zetao also saw through it. People are valuable in self-consistency, so his energy and focus had gradually shifted to another identity, \"writer,\" over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, it was the same as those wealthy middle-aged people who suddenly started tinkering with strange things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising flowers, raising fish, raising dogs, raising people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door of the tea room was pushed open. Qian Yarong saw her husband's appearance and knew he had been reading all afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could still accept Lu Zetao's current state. After all, business matters had been taken over by her, so he had to have hobbies to kill time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immersed in the \"self-feeling good\" writer dream, it was better than going out to meet young girls at clubs, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for herself? When she was young, she did admire the \"literary atmosphere,\" and the two came together because of it, but now it had long faded. As she got older, she only felt that it was all boring and meaningless stuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zetao didn't raise his head: \"Siwen's classmate's novel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong sat opposite Lu Zetao and frowned: \"That boy with the surname Zhai? You met him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zetao nodded: \"Very talented in literature, no... it's not an exaggeration to say he's a genius. I was going to send it to the publisher today, but I couldn't bear to, I wanted to read it again, study why he wrote it so well... and catch some of the light of the Wenqu Star.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong was a bit helpless: \"I'm asking you how you met that little boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your precious daughter begged me this morning? She said Zhai Da wrote a long novel and wanted me to help recommend it to a publisher. I said let me see it, and she actually said I couldn't see it yet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Lu Zetao laughed: \"I was wondering what kind of person could make Siwen think so much for him, so I just followed her wishes and went to talk to him in person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lu Zetao wasn't busy, it depended on who he gave his time to. If he wasn't a little curious about the relationship between Zhai Da and Lu Siwen, he wouldn't have made a trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fathers are all the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid of thieves, but also afraid of no thieves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, I thought it was very ordinary... now, I think it's amazing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zetao poured a cup of Kung Fu tea for his wife and himself: \"To be honest, if it were me at this age, even without considering the gender issue, if a friend around me wrote something like this, I would also find a way to help him get it published, feeling that such gold is worth being seen by more people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong obviously didn't agree... After all, when Lu Zetao described his own works, he was also extremely exaggerated, almost saying he was the Zhou Shuren of the contemporary era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exquisite teacup was drunk in one gulp, leaving a shallow lipstick mark: \"Don't you think that as a father, your focus should be on the relationship between the two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zetao recalled the \"intimate interaction\" between the two young people on the overpass. He was a bit uncomfortable at the time, but he still shook his head: \"Actually, it's okay. My judgment is that there is no such sign...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's more, it's not bad to communicate more with such an excellent young man. His writing is indeed excellent...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong laughed: \"Good writing... what's the use...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Siwen is going abroad to study finance, that is the future trend. I'm telling you, the general direction must not change. You should let her spend more time on TOEFL, instead of playing some writing game with her peers... What's the use of Chinese? English is the international language!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zetao raised his head and looked at his wife calmly, and many things flashed through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, he just said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you think this is right, do it yourself. But I remind you, be careful of the opposite effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yarong stopped arguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large part of the reason why this family can maintain harmony lies in Lu Zetao's tolerance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when he is occasionally serious, he can suppress his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know my daughter very well, she will make the right choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And must make the right choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1742,"2026-06-17T20:38:09.169Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2db7d9952e99de3cd20a56fcbb6b9dd4792f037e3798702721ae4db64d749f62","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-80","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-78",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-2008-the-gear-system-god-cover.jpg"]
