I'm a senior in high school, and the Emperor Development System has arrived!

Chapter 129 Even Jesus couldn't stop me, I said it!
The concert ended at 9:30.

It was nearly ten o'clock when Chen Zhou got home.

The moment I opened the door, the warm yellow light from the living room spilled out, but I didn't see Old Deng, who was usually curled up on the sofa watching anime.

They're not in the living room; they must have gone back to their rooms to rest.

At this hour, Jiang Xia and Lu Mi were still discussing the topic at the coffee table, which surprised Chen Zhou.

He changed his shoes in the entryway and asked Jiang Xia:
"Lao Xia, are you using my house as a secret base?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia looked up, clearly perplexed by the problem. When she saw Chen Zhou come in after changing his shoes, her eyes immediately lit up, as if she had found a savior.
"You're back just in time! Quick, we need your help!"

Chen Zhou walked over and stood beside them:
"What's wrong? Why aren't you done yet, it's so late?"

My gaze fell on the exercise in front of them. It was the final question on the math exam, a comprehensive problem combining solid geometry and spatial vectors.

Lu Mi also looked up at the sound, a glimmer of hope appearing in her tired eyes:

"Senior, this question has been stuck on us for almost an hour. It feels like we've hit a dead end."

Her voice carried a hint of frustration, and the draft paper in front of her was covered with derivation processes.

"show me."

Chen Zhou moved a low stool aside and sat down. He leaned forward, pointed to the key conditions of the problem, and then scanned the problem stem and their calculation steps.

In just a few dozen seconds, he had figured out the key points that had gotten them stuck.

"You're trying to circumvent this using purely geometric methods, proving perpendicularity and then finding the angle?"

Chen Zhou picked up Jiang Xia's pen and gently tapped the auxiliary line that had been troubling them:
"The approach taken here is a bit convoluted, and it ignores the spatial relationships hidden in the problem statement. Look here, point D is the key."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia moved even closer and looked in the direction of his fingertip.

Chen Zhou's voice was deep and clear, carrying a calming power:
"Using spatial vectors is actually a better solution. Set up the basis, express the coordinates of point E, and then directly apply the formula to calculate the normal vector of surface FGH..."

His pen moved swiftly across the draft paper, smoothly writing down concise and powerful steps. Several key vector relationships leaped off the page, and the graphics and symbols instantly became traceable.

What was originally a jumble of lines and symbols in their eyes seemed to be infused with clear patterns, suddenly becoming clear and coherent.

"...Substitute into the formula, calculate the cosine of the angle between the two normal vectors, and take the absolute value to get the cosine of the angle."

Chen Zhou made the final stroke, and the answer was clearly circled.

"It's done."

He handed the pen back to Jiang Xia.

The problem that had troubled them for so long was elegantly solved in just a few minutes by him.

Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.
"My God, that's the key! You're amazing!"

Her face, which had been furrowed in embarrassment, finally relaxed.

Lu Mi stared at the clear and concise steps, paused for a moment, and then a bright smile spread across her eyes:

"Ah... I see! This base design is so ingenious; I never thought of this direction before."

She picked up her pen again, and as she followed Chen Zhou's train of thought, she sincerely praised him:

"Senior, you're amazing. Your thinking became so clear all of a sudden, like a key going into a lock and clicking open the door."

His tone was full of admiration and gratitude, and his fingertips lightly traced the key steps that Chen Zhou had just written down, as if he wanted to absorb the flashes of inspiration from that thought.

Chen Zhou looked at the lingering excitement and naive confidence in Lu Mi's eyes, raised an eyebrow, and asked with a hint of doubt:
"Lu Mi, I remember you're only in your first year of high school, right? Solid geometry is definitely a second-year high school topic."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mi gave a shy yet frank smile and explained:
"The senior student was doing a test just now. I went over and saw this question. I thought it was interesting, so I asked her about it."

"My senior was very kind and explained the basic concepts and theorems to me, such as the determination of the perpendicularity of lines in space and the definition of the normal vector of a plane."

She paused and added:
"Actually, once you understand the positional relationship between points and lines, the directionality of vectors, and combine it with a little spatial imagination... the core logic of solid geometry doesn't seem as mysterious and difficult to understand as you might have imagined."

Her tone was calm, as if she were stating a fact rather than deliberately showing off.

Chen Zhou rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless about this kind of raw, unadulterated genius.

He spent a lot of time and effort learning solid geometry back then.

Lu Mi, on the other hand, laid a solid foundation in just one night.

The gap between people can sometimes be even greater than the gap between a paramecium and an excavator.

"You are still awesome!"

Chen Zhou pushed the chair back to its original position, stood up, casually stretched his shoulders, and said:
"Alright, problem solved, I'm going to take a shower now."

Jiang Xia glanced at him and said meaningfully:
"Wash it clean!"

Chen Zhou typed a question mark:

"Not Hagisha, are you going to launch a night raid on me again?"

Jiang Xia smiled but didn't say anything.

The lights in the living room seemed to freeze for a moment, and a silence filled the air, a mixture of shock, absurdity, and a strange anticipation.

Chen Zhou's alarm blared, and he took two steps back, exclaiming in astonishment:
"Not a girl? I guessed right?"

Jiangxia, however, showed no sign of panic.

She gave a soft hum, slightly raising her delicate chin, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes fixed intently on Chen Zhou, gleaming with a cunning and undeniable light:
"If Lu Mi can sleep with you, why can't I?"

Her voice was clear and crisp, carrying a sense of entitlement.

"..."

Chen Zhou was completely petrified, his brain's CPU seemingly emitting a "buzzing" sound due to overload.

Jiang Xia crossed her slender arms, turned to the side, deliberately revealing a slightly aggrieved expression, and her tone was tinged with just the right amount of resentment:
"We've known each other for so long, we've been playing together since we were toddlers, and I've never even slept in the same bed with you!"

Hearing Jiang Xia say this, Lu Mi, realizing that she had gotten there first, blushed.

It seems she really did something serious.

Chen Zhou was also somewhat speechless about this, and could only comfort Jiang Xia by saying:
"That was because Lu Mi made a mistake in her thinking. I punished her severely when she came back this afternoon. Jiang Xia, you mustn't follow her example!"

Upon hearing about the punishment to be given in the afternoon, Lu Mi's face turned even redder, almost red to the tips of her ears.

Jiang Xia continued humming:
"I don't care. She can make mistakes, but I can't? I'm sleeping with you tonight, and even Jesus can't stop me, I said it!"

At this moment, Chen Zhou was completely at his wit's end. He shook his head helplessly and said:

"Whatever you want, I'm going to take a shower now."

Chen Zhou walked towards the bathroom and closed the frosted glass door.

The sound of running water from the tap being turned on then filled the living room.

Jiang Xia crossed his arms, a smug smile on his face.

Lu Mi, standing next to her, lowered her head even further, the thick crimson on the tips of her ears almost dripping down.

However, all this noise and chaos was not kept out of the living room.

The door to the master bedroom was not closed completely, leaving a gap about three fingers wide.

Behind the door, two figures stood frozen in the dim light, as if under a spell.

The brief conversation between Chen Zhou and Jiang Xia just now was incredibly informative for them.

Chen Fang and Shen Qinghe exchanged glances, recalling the information they had just received:
Lu Mi has already slept with Chen Zhou!
This was not only what they overheard, but also Jiang Xia's exact words just now.

Now, Jiang Xia knows she can't stand it, so she wants to sleep with Chen Zhou too?

Each message was devastating, shattering Shen Qinghe's worldview and her understanding of her son. "Qing...Qinghe..."

Chen Fang's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth:

"Did you...did you hear that?"

"Shh!"

Shen Qinghe snapped back to reality, her throat dry and sore. She said:

"We have to think of a way to prevent Xiaozhou from making the same mistake again!"

Chen Fang sighed, feeling furious that his long-standing friendship with Hu Jing and Jiang Cheng was about to be ruined by this kid Chen Zhou.

You little rascal, bullying one person is one thing, but after the college entrance exam, your dad will take you to his door to propose marriage.

Given his relationship with Hu Jingjiang, he definitely can't escape this matter.

But if you bully two of them at once, even if your father had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, he wouldn't dare to come and propose marriage, would he?

If that really happens, let alone Chen Zhou, even Chen Fang himself will be torn to pieces by those two.

Thinking of this, Chen Fang immediately agreed with Shen Qinghe's opinion:

"That's right, we absolutely cannot stand by and watch Chen Zhou make a mistake!"

……

"Elephant, elephant, why is your nose so long?"

Chen Zhou, who was humming a song while taking a bath, naturally had no idea what the old men were thinking.

Otherwise, he would definitely shout that he was wronged and then get so angry that he would report all the websites he had visited.

He did nothing wrong, yet he's been falsely accused like this; it's simply outrageous.

After taking a shower, Chen Zhou got dressed and walked out of the bathroom, only to find that the two old men had actually appeared in the living room.

The kettle in the kitchen was making bubbling noises, so they must be preparing to drink some cooled boiled water before bed.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xia and Lu Mi were still studying the topic.

Chen Zhou ignored them and said to the old men:
"Mom and Dad, I'm going into my room!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Fang suddenly called out to him:
"Wait."

Chen Zhou stopped and turned to look at Chen Fang:
"Dad, what's wrong?"

Chen Fang didn't speak, but simply raised his chin at him, gesturing for him to come into the room to talk.

In the living room, Shen Qinghe was pretending to hand fruit to Lu Mi, but her eyes were fixed on the backs of the father and son.

Jiang Xia then nudged Lu Mi with his elbow and winked at her.

Chen Zhou pushed open his door, completely bewildered, and Chen Fang followed closely behind, turning the lock on behind him.

This made Chen Zhou even more puzzled:

"What's all this secrecy about?"

Only a bedside lamp was on in the room, and the dim light cast a long shadow of Chen Fang. He walked to the window, turned his back to Chen Zhou, and remained silent for a long time.

Moonlight streamed through the gauze curtains, casting dappled shadows of trees on the floor, adding a touch of solemnity compared to the living room.

"Chen Zhou..."

Chen Fang finally spoke, his voice eight octaves deeper than usual:
"how old are you?"

"You just turned eighteen, Lao Deng. If you can't remember things, I'll buy you some Brain Gold to help you recover."

Chen Zhou scratched the back of his head.

Chen Fang was momentarily speechless, but still pretended to be serious and said:

"At eighteen, it's time to be more sensible."

He slowly turned around, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on him like searchlights:
"There are some things you can do, and some things you can't do. Especially for men, you have to be sensible and responsible in your actions."

Chen Zhou blinked, and although he didn't know what he was talking about, he still obediently replied:

"alright, got it."

Chen Fang nodded. He couldn't go into too much detail about this, lest he hurt Chen Zhou's pride as a man.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and said:
"Good to know. Your mother and I are going back to our room to rest."

Chen Zhou watched Lao Deng turn and leave, scratching his head, still unable to figure out what he was up to.

He flopped onto the bed, pulled out his phone, unlocked it, and saw a message from Bai Qianqian as the screen lit up:
"Have you bought your clothes yet? If not, let me buy them for you!"

Chen Zhou then remembered that he hadn't picked out a cosplay outfit for the anime convention yet, so he quickly replied to Bai Qianqian, "Thank you, I'll do it myself," and then opened Taobao.

Chen Zhou's fingertips slid rapidly across the screen.

After much deliberation, I chose a classic set with a low-cut neckline.

I added the Kusanagi Sword to my shopping cart and specifically requested expedited shipping during checkout.

The order was submitted successfully, and then the QQ notification sound started coughing.

It was a message from Jiang Yutong:
"Hey dog, wanna come perform tonight?"

Chen Zhou chuckled.

He thought to himself that this class monitor was really persistent about the new book; even after his disguise was revealed, he was still thinking about acting.

Thinking of something interesting, Chen Zhou smiled and replied to the message:
"That previous performance was too boring. I have a more exciting mission here. Want to try it out?"

Jiang Yutong paused for a moment, not immediately agreeing, but instead cautiously asking:

"What kind of mission is it? Tell me about it first."

Chen Zhou replied:

"If you tell them in advance, there won't be any surprise. How can you get into character then?"

Jiang Yutong pondered for a long time before replying:
"Go ahead and give it a try, see what kind of crazy ideas you have. But let me make it clear first, if it's too outrageous, I'll have to stop you."

Chen Zhou chuckled.

If Jiang Yutong really wants to stop, then he will definitely stop, after all, he cannot go against the woman's wishes.

But if she doesn't call for a stop and keeps saying "Yes, Yes," then naturally you can continue.

Soon, Jiang Yutong sent an exclamation mark, which was the signal that the performance was about to begin.

As Chen Zhou put himself in Cheng Zhuo's shoes and began adding narration, he pondered how to tease Jiang Yutong:
[Narrator: After evening self-study, Jiang Yunong returned home. The moment she picked up her phone, under Cheng Zhuo's hypnotic influence, she involuntarily sent him a message—]

Jiang Yutong, who plays Jiang Yunong, understood perfectly:
"Good evening, Master."

Chen Zhou, playing Cheng Zhuo, smiled and replied:

"good evening."

Jiang Yutong, standing in front of her phone, did not reply, waiting for Cheng Zhuo, played by Chen Zhou, to give her instructions.

However, the instruction she was waiting for did not appear; instead, Chen Zhou sent her a message:

"In this bustling world, I am only devoted to you."
