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

Chapter 31 Can't we have a Platonic love affair?
Tomorrow is the start of the school year exam.

During tonight's evening self-study session, Class 8 of the third year of high school was unusually restless.

For many high school students, preparing for exams can be a torment.

But after finishing the pre-exam class, until the results came out, I was in a state of spiritual liberation.

This prevents the great writer Ren from concentrating on writing.

He tapped on the podium from time to time to maintain discipline, but when that didn't work, he used a magnet to stick a test paper on the podium and then wrote in chalk:
"Looking for the destined one!"

As soon as the five big characters appeared, the whole class immediately fell silent, its effect comparable to the six-character mantra on Mount Wuzhi.

Unlike other teachers who rely on their voices to maintain discipline, Ren Feng has a real knack for it.

After the class quieted down, Li Bin also began to worry about which subject's homework to do first.

He had originally planned to cram for the exams tomorrow before the start of the semester.

But to my surprise, the teachers acted as if they had planned it beforehand.

One confidently declared, "There's an exam tomorrow, so there's definitely no other homework tonight," while the other said, "This little bit of homework can be easily finished in half an hour."

But each subject takes half an hour, so six subjects take a full three hours, which perfectly fills up the evening self-study session.

Moreover, not every subject can be completed in half an hour.

For example, mathematics.

As a major source of time spent during evening self-study, high school humanities students typically face two choices:

Write the math first, or write the math later.

The two choices represent different evolutionary directions:
Become a math god, or specialize in math and embrace other subjects?

After all, if you do math first, you can only rely on copying to get by in the other subjects; and if you do the other subjects first, math is bound to be copied.

Chen Zhou chose the former, so he is a typical math genius in the class.

But from then on, he was different.

Chen Zhou was doing his math homework, occasionally yawning.

This kind of thing used to get me all fired up, but not anymore. I'm completely indifferent now.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm getting old, it's that you've lost your charm.

Once upon a time: "An old man, in a moment of youthful exuberance, cures kidney deficiency, sugar-free!"

Now: "Can't we have a Platonic love affair?"

After finishing his math homework in half an hour, Chen Zhou immediately took out an English newspaper, glanced at it, and then prepared to expel it from Paradis Island!

But when he thought that his English teacher was also his homeroom teacher, Chen Zhou had no choice but to calm down and start writing.

If it weren't for Shen Enxi, he wouldn't have even touched that English newspaper.

Hate! English!
I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all.

Before the end of the first evening self-study session, Chen Zhou barely finished writing half a page of English newspaper and breathed a sigh of relief.

I finished my math and English homework in one evening self-study session.

This efficiency is amazing.

As soon as evening self-study ended, the usual routine of Class 8, Grade 12, began again.

The first person to rush to the podium today was Wang Rui, a dark-skinned physical education student. He opened Douyin (TikTok), and all that popped up were news videos.

He frowned, logged into his Douyin account, saw the suggestive video, and then laughed:

"That's more like it!"

Li Bin, who lost control of Douyin, sighed:

"In the end, we were still a step too late."

Suddenly, Wang Rui noticed Ren Feng's cell phone left on the podium and quickly said:

"Teacher Ren forgot his phone. Can someone bring it to him? Otherwise, if he goes back to the classroom to look for it and sees us scrolling through Douyin, that would be a big problem!"

During breaks, students use multimedia devices to watch TikTok.

According to the class rules, that slide is off-limits.

The classmates exchanged bewildered glances. Wang Rui first looked at Jiang Yutong and said with a forced smile:

"Squad leader, could you please make this trip?"

Jiang Yutong has always looked down on Wang Rui and doesn't support their habit of watching Douyin during breaks.

She tossed her long, straight black hair, turned her head away, and ignored Wang Rui.

Wang Rui didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Jiang Yutong. He scanned the whole class, focusing his gaze on Li Bin, and said with a smile:

"Binzi, why don't you go over there?"

Although Wang Rui said it was a discussion, his tone carried an air of absolute certainty.

Upon hearing this, Li Bin sighed and said:

"Alright, alright, if you have any good videos, please let me replay them." Wang Rui nodded with a smile.

"That's for sure."

Li Bin, who was not outstanding in either academics or sports, and was also somewhat timid, was almost at the bottom of the class in terms of the boys' social standing.

Seeing Li Bin get up to deliver the phone, Chen Zhou shook his head, pressed him down with one hand, and then said to Wang Rui:
"I just need to get some fresh air, I'll go deliver it."

Seeing Chen Zhou stand up, Wang Rui quickly put on a smile:

"Oh, it's wonderful that Brother Zhou is willing to make the trip. Thank you so much!"

Although Chen Zhou's writing style is somewhat abstract, his grades are only average for the class.

But he is very loyal and is popular among both boys and girls. In addition, he plays basketball well, so he has a high social status.

Even the class bully Wang Rui has to give him some face.

Not to mention Chen Zhou's grades, which have improved by leaps and bounds in the last two days.

Wang Rui, whom Jiang Yuyan considered a thorn in her side, naturally became even more humble in front of Chen Zhou.

After all, in Chinese schools, grades are the eternal voice of authority.

School bullies are always kind and gentle to top students; even if they don't like someone, they will keep their distance.

The bullying of academic high-achievers, as depicted in novels, is almost unheard of in the male student circles of traditional Chinese schools.

Because every top student is the apple of their homeroom teacher's, grade head's, or even the principal's eye.

If you bully an ordinary person, giving them a warning and a disciplinary action is about right.

What? You dare mess with a top student?

If you make someone depressed and their grades drop, that will affect the principal's performance record.

He must be fired! He absolutely must be fired!
Of course, Chen Zhou is not yet considered a top student; in Wang Rui's view, he only has the potential to be in the top ten of the class.

But Wang Rui wasn't exactly a tough character; he could only show off his fists in class.

Once he leaves the classroom, he's just a nobody.

Therefore, it is not surprising that this situation has arisen.

Chen Zhou picked up Ren Feng's phone and waved it casually:
"It's nothing, just a trip. You guys keep watching the videos."

Wang Rui smiled as he saw Chen Zhou to the door, and thanked him twice.

The moment Chen Zhou stepped out of the classroom, the system notified him:

[Minister Li was brutally bullied by a local tyrant. His Majesty was furious and offered his help. Imperial Prestige +20]

[Imperial Might: 460]

Chen Zhou smiled.

It seems we should do good deeds more often, right?
He put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Ren Feng's office.

Actually, the reason he replaced Li Bin was twofold: first, he couldn't stand Wang Rui's arrogant attitude, and second, he did have something to do.

"I need to go to Jiangxia later to confirm which day we're going to the provincial capital. We can't delay this; it would be a real problem if we booked at the last minute and there were no tickets left."

With that thought in mind, Chen Zhou walked into Ren Feng's office.

It was during break time, and there were still several teachers in the office, all of them scrolling through their phones.

Ren Feng was the only one sitting there, typing on his laptop.

Chen Zhou sighed. Being an online novelist isn't easy, especially for a part-time author like Ren Feng.

I usually have to work overtime after my regular workday.

Exhausted.

Chen Zhou walked up behind Ren Feng, who was completely absorbed in writing and didn't notice anyone behind him.

Chen Zhou smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to hand over his phone, he glanced at the screen and paused slightly.

No, bro?

Is the protagonist of your novel also named Yin Zhi?

Chen Zhou scratched his head, his mind filled with immense doubt.

Isn't that the name of the main character in "I'm a Male Actor in Tokyo," the novel he was following last night?

Is it possible...
