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

Chapter 62 Unlike the Banana People, You Are Mango People (Revised)

Li Bin quickly sent a heartfelt emoji, humbly saying:
"Brother Zhou...Master Zhou! You're so magnanimous, I thought I overslept this morning, that's why I was thinking of finding an excuse to ask for leave for you!"

Chen Zhou nodded slightly.

If that's the case, then Li Bin's mistake isn't unforgivable.

There's always a reason behind things.

With that in mind, Chen Zhou moved on from the topic and asked about something more important:

"Bin, don't you have a few buddies in the second year of high school? Help me find out about Lu Mi."

Upon hearing this, the two simpletons in the group got excited.

Zhou Xinglun, a national first-class diver, made the following remarks:

"Is Master Zhou preparing to launch an attack? I knew you weren't behaving quite right in the library the other day."

Li Bin didn't say anything, but he sent a smirking emoji.

Chen Zhou felt somewhat helpless. Unlike most bananas who are yellow on the outside and white on the inside, these two were typical mangoes.

Yellow on the outside and yellow on the inside.

Chen Zhou chuckled and said:

"I was so busy holding up my umbrella that I forgot to hold you up in the rain. Can't you guys be a little more pure in your thinking, you supposedly elites of society?"

Li Bin felt somewhat aggrieved:

"You asked first!"

Stephen Chow also chimed in:
"Exactly, then why are you asking about the school beauty?"

This really surprised Chen Zhou:
"School beauty?"

Stephen Chow posted a picture of a dragon with a wild and unrestrained expression:
"Elbow, you're so out of touch! Last month, the Confession Wall WeChat official account held an event, and the top three in the poll were all considered campus beauties."

Li Bin, clearly out of touch with the trend, asked:
"What is Lu Mi's ranking?"

Stephen Chow said:

"second!"

Li Bin chuckled:
"That won't do either. Only the number one beauty in the entire No. 2 High School is worthy of Master Zhou's status!"

Chen Zhou sent a thumbs-up to Little Li:

sensible.

Stephen Chow picked his nose and said:
"You guys have no idea how prestigious this event is. She ranked second out of more than three hundred beautiful girls. Her talent speaks for itself, right?"

"Moreover, in terms of looks alone, the first one is only about the same as her."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou was somewhat puzzled:

"Then why is Lu Mi ranked second?"

Stephen Chow sent me a meme:

The little girl cried and looked for her grandmother.

Chen Zhou was speechless:

"I'm fed up with this kind of instant understanding."

Only Li Bin was still asking around:
"What does that mean? What does that mean?"

Stephen Chow said leisurely:

"How can one govern the world if one's breasts are not large? How can one win people's hearts if one's breasts are not large?"

Only now did Li Bin realize:
"Brother, I understand. Lu Mi's loss was not unjust—but then again, who is number one?"

Stephen Chow smiled mysteriously:
"You see this girl at the New Year's Eve gala every year, who do you think she is?"

Li Bin immediately replied:

"Zhao Ruyi? That girl who sings incredibly well?"

Stephen Chow:
"√"

Thinking back to her guitar performance last year, the surging energy emanating from the guitar's curved lines, Li Bin admitted—

Lu Mi's loss was not unjust.

Chen Zhou couldn't help but sigh, compared to the ramen shop owner, this was the real Nagihime of the Chinese server, the IPX Holy Body.

He's a top student in the science-focused class, and he has pebbles!

But shouldn't we be asking about Shiromi?
How did Stephen Chow change the subject?
Chen Zhou posted a bold image of a dragon wearing a dragon robe, forcefully steering the conversation back on track:
"What other information do you know about Lu Mi?" Zhou Xinglun chuckled.
"You said you weren't interested in her? Why are you so concerned?"

Li Bin disappeared for a while, then returned and said:

"I just got the information back, let me organize it."

"In terms of academics, I ranked third in the grade at the end of last semester, and I am usually in the top ten in the grade. I can definitely get into a C9 university, let alone Tsinghua or Peking University."

"We've already discussed looks and physique; the differences are quite pronounced."

"As for her hobbies, she loves literature. Could she be considered an artistic girl among science students? I don't know anything else."

"Finally, in terms of social life, she has a very gentle personality and is quite popular among girls. She has many suitors. Last semester, someone even got into a fight because of her. He was beaten black and blue, and the police had to come."

"He has many suitors, but I haven't heard of him dating anyone. He should still be single."

"..."

Li Bin rattled off a whole bunch of things in his own language, then asked Chen Zhou:
"Master Zhou, I've gone through a lot of trouble to collect this information. You have to satisfy my curiosity, right?"

Chen Zhou felt that he couldn't keep Lu Mi's move-in to his house a secret for long.

After thinking it over, he decided to tell his two friends the truth:

"Bin, didn't I tell you last time that a girl would be staying at my place soon?"

Before Chen Zhou could reply with a complete message, Li Bin was struck dumb, asking in astonishment:

"The girl you're talking about, could she be...?"

Stephen Chow was completely bewildered, looking like he hadn't gotten to the end of the gossip, and quickly asked:
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'letting me stay'?"

Stephen Chow suddenly realized what was happening and asked:

"Wait, you mean—"

"You're going to live with Lu Mi?"

Stephen Chow's thoughts went around in circles until he finally understood, and then he was so surprised that his jaw dropped.

Upon hearing this news, Li Bin felt envious, jealous, and resentful.

Chen Zhou could almost see his face contorted in grotesque contortions, writhing back and forth on the bed like a maggot.

A minute later, he sent a 60-second voice message.

This 60-second limit is the limit of WeChat voice messages, not its limit.

Chen Zhou didn't click on it, but he knew the amount of "mommy content" in those 60 seconds.

As for Stephen Chow, he transformed into Xiao Xizi, constantly uttering "Ahhhhh!"
"Why? Why did you have to run into this kind of damn luck?"

Seeing that Chen Zhou was ignoring his voice message, Li Bin simply teared up and said:

"Father! I am your long-lost illegitimate son! Let me go home!"

Stephen Chow was directly promoted to a higher generation:
"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

"Let me go home!"

"..."

After the two had vented their emotions, Chen Zhou reminded them:

"It's just a short stay, nothing serious, but you mustn't tell anyone about it."

The two of them repeatedly said they understood.

Immediately, Stephen Chow said with a dog head emoji:
"If the junior high students find out about this, you'll be beheaded tomorrow, Elbow."

Chen Zhou chuckled and replied:
"It's not that serious."

Seeing that Chen Zhou hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation, Li Bin quickly reminded him:

"This is no joke. Last semester, that boy got close to Lu Mi, which angered everyone, and he ended up getting beaten up at the school gate."

"To say they have a particularly good relationship wouldn't be accurate; they're just in the same literary society and exchanged a few words."

As Chen Zhou listened to Li Bin's account, he slowly typed out a question mark:

"Wow, this is terrifying?"

Stephen Chow had obviously heard some rumors as well, and advised:
"If you ask me, if Lu Mi is going to your house, you'd better move out and come to my house or Li Bin's house to avoid trouble. Otherwise, if you get drowned one day, don't say I didn't warn you."

"Of course, the main reason is that I can't sleep at night because you're living with the school beauty."
