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

Chapter 25 The flowers are in full bloom; if I don't appreciate them, I'll seem rather uninteresting.
After saying goodbye to the hospitable Uncle Bai, the three of them took a taxi back to school.

Although it was midday, the sky gradually darkened, clearly indicating that a heavy rain was brewing.

They rushed all the way back to class before the afternoon training session began.

Li Bin peeked into the classroom and said thankfully:
"Thank goodness, Jiang Yuyan isn't here at noon."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou and Bai Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and quietly returned to their seats.

Jiang Yutong has started a Chinese language afternoon practice session.

This efficient and decisive girl, who is trusted by her classmates, serves as both class monitor and Chinese language representative.

Chen Zhou picked up his pen, ready to write his afternoon practice.

You can skip Chinese class, but you still need to do your homework carefully.

Whether you listen in class or not doesn't matter, but if the time spent on Chinese homework is taken away, then you'll face backlash in less than half a semester.

Don't ask, just tell me from personal experience.

Of course, Chen Zhou's Chinese language score wasn't bad; the top scorers in his grade hovered around 125, while Chen Zhou consistently scored around 110.

After finishing his afternoon practice, Chen Zhou felt sleepy.

I was just about to lie down and take a nap.

Li Bin, who was standing nearby, suddenly leaned closer:

"Pork knuckle, shall we drain it?"

Feeling the surge of water within his body, Chen Zhou nodded:
"Xiao Fang."

Some of the students in the class had already fallen asleep, and the two tiptoed out of the classroom.

Chen Zhou looked into the distance.

The outlines of the tall buildings were swallowed up by the clouds, and the leaden-gray clouds hung low and rolled, as if they might fall at any moment.

"It feels like a heavy rain."

Li Bin took a breath of the pre-rain air and then asked Chen Zhou:
Did you bring an umbrella?

Seeing Chen Zhou shake his head, he scratched his head:
"Damn it, how am I supposed to get to the library this afternoon?"

Comrade Ren Feng confessed yesterday.

I need to take them to the library for reading classes during the two afternoon Chinese language periods.

Although everyone knew that Ren Feng was slacking off, it didn't stop the students from cheering.

That's how going to school is.

As long as there are no classes, everything makes people happy.

Chen Zhou said with a smile:

"What if Poseidon cancels the reading class and then throws a test paper at us?"

Li Bin looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Then I'll jump off the roof, and then senior high school students can finally enjoy two days off a week."

Chen Zhou gave a thumbs up:
"Then I will erect a monument for you."

The two chatted and laughed all the way to the restroom.

Li Bin suddenly said after turning off the tap:

"Elbow, I think Bai Qianqian has a bit of a crush on you. Should we make a move?"

Chen Zhou rolled his eyes and changed the subject:
"I told you I like people with contrasts, and you even said you'd introduce me to someone, but why haven't you shown up yet?"

Li Bin stared wide-eyed:
"How could it be that fast? Do you think I'm Cupid?"

However, he changed his tone and started trying to bring them together again:
"But you know what, I think Bai Qianqian is pretty good. Although she stutters a bit, she's beautiful, and she has a good personality and isn't pretentious."

"And most importantly, to be able to open such a large seafood buffet, one's family must be quite well-off."

Chen Zhou waved his hand:
"I've told you so many times, I'm not that kind of materialistic person."

Li Bin suddenly asked:

"So, do you prefer big breasts or long legs?"

Chen Zhou hesitated for a moment, then spoke honestly:
"Can't you like them all?"

Li Bin patted his head and said:
"I understand, you're not materialistic, you're just lustful!"

Chen Zhou sighed and said:
"The flowers are in full bloom; if I don't appreciate them, I'll seem rather dull."

So poetic?
Li Bin was speechless; he admired Chen Zhou's serious yet flamboyant style.

I can't learn it, I really can't learn it.

a heavy rain.

It finally started raining.

A muffled rumble came from the horizon, like a giant pushing a tin bucket across the clouds.

Immediately afterwards, a soft, pattering sound came from the glass window—dense raindrops were falling.

The bell rang to signal the start of class.

Standing under the eaves of the teaching building, looking at the torrential rain outside, the four students sitting at desks in front and behind each other looked at the main building across the street, exchanging bewildered glances.

Li Bin timidly raised his hand and asked:
"Who brought an umbrella?"

"Neither Chen Zhou nor I brought any."

Stephen Chow pulled out a white semi-automatic umbrella, pressed the open button, and a dragon emoji wearing a yellow robe appeared, along with a line of large text:
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

This extravagantly designed umbrella stands out among a sea of ​​ordinary umbrellas.

Stephen Chow proudly raised his head:
"How is it? It's brand new!"

Li Bin gave a thumbs up:
"Great umbrella!"

Chen Zhou gives a thumbs up twice:

"If you launch this umbrella, you can become a paratrooper."

Bai Qianqian stood to the side, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she lowered her head shyly, her hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

She hesitated for a long time before pulling a floral umbrella from her canvas bag and saying in a very soft voice:
"I...I brought some too."

Four people, two umbrellas.

Li Bin hummed a little tune and walked into the Longtu Temple without thinking, becoming the most eye-catching person in the heavy rain.

Bai Qianqian blushed, her hands trembling slightly as she opened the umbrella, her movements extremely restrained, and she stood beside Chen Zhou like a lady.

Chen Zhou sighed slightly, regretting that he was a step behind Li Bin.

Who wouldn't say this dragon-patterned umbrella is incredibly stylish?
It suits my temperament perfectly.

At this moment, Bai Qianqian tried her best to stand on tiptoe and hold the umbrella over Chen Zhou's head.

Upon seeing this, Chen Zhou expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you for lending me the umbrella, Mr. Bai."

It's unclear when exactly, but the terms "General Manager XX" and "Old XX" have become popular on Chinese campuses, exuding a subtle sense of pretentiousness.

As they spoke, the two of them, holding small floral umbrellas, slowly walked into the rain.

Raindrops pattered against the umbrella.

Bai Qianqian is a little over 1.6 meters tall, which is more than half a head shorter than Chen Zhou.

This caused her to hold the umbrella quite low, and the umbrella surface would occasionally touch Chen Zhou's head.

Chen Zhou smiled and said:

"Let me hold the umbrella."

"Hmm...hmm."

Bai Qianqian's voice trembled with nervousness, but a sweet smile appeared on her face.

As he spoke, Chen Zhou took the umbrella.

This floral umbrella is at best a single-person umbrella; it's not impossible for two people to share one, but it would be a bit cramped.

To keep her shoulders dry, Bai Qianqian clutched Chen Zhou's sleeve, making it appear as if she were nestled in his arms from the side.

Smelling the delicate fragrance so close at hand, Chen Zhou couldn't help but look down at Bai Qianqian.

It would have been better if I hadn't looked at it, because once I did, I couldn't stand it anymore.

Girls often wear tank tops under short sleeves in the summer for breathability and comfort.

These tank tops are breathable, but they also make it easy for the skin to be exposed.

Especially from Chen Zhou's top-down perspective, the view is completely unobstructed.

He was deeply moved.

Marie Curie, I discovered radium!

To be honest, Bai Qianqian looks thin, but she's actually quite well-endowed.

Noticing that Chen Zhou had suddenly slowed down, Bai Qianqian tilted her head and asked with a puzzled look:
"What...what happened?"

Fortunately, Chen Zhou looked away first.

He awkwardly touched his nose and honestly said:
"Um... just a reminder, it's best to wear fewer tank tops in the summer."

Bai Qianqian was a little confused when she first heard this.

But after a moment's thought, her face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato, and she covered her chest tightly with her small hands, whispering in a barely audible voice:
"Bad...bad guy."
