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

Chapter 96 We've done it in bed, and we've done it in the living room.
The July sunshine, like melting honey, spilled onto the bluestone pavement of the old street in the west of the city.

The COCO milk tea shop next to the bookstore wafts a rich milky aroma.

Yellow wind chimes hung from the potted green plants by the door, their tinkling sounds mingling with Jay Chou's "Seven Mile Fragrance" in the air.

"Two cups of bubble tea, no ice, half sugar."

Chen Zhou ordered his food with practiced ease, then turned around and saw Jiang Xia staring blankly at the pudding in the glass display case. He then said to the waiter:
"Add another serving of crème brûlée."

"I didn't say I wanted pudding."

Jiang Xia immediately looked up to defend herself, but under Chen Zhou's amused gaze, she turned her head away and whispered, "..."

"...But it's not that I can't eat, but even so, I won't forgive you easily. You've gone too far!"

Seeing that Jiang Xia was still thinking about what had just happened, Chen Zhou held the bubble tea to her lips and asked with a smile:

"Xia, how are you feeling right now?"

Jiang Xia pouted, her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster:

"Not very happy."

She poked at the pearls in her cup with the straw, watching the bubbles rise to the surface. Remembering the embarrassment of being tricked in the bookstore earlier, her ears burned again.

Chen Zhou thought for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, what did I say?"

Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment, then said:

"much better."

Chen Zhou ruffled Jiang Xia's short hair and said affectionately:

"It's much better now."

Jiang Xia was instantly enraged and jumped up to bite Chen Zhou's arm.

"hiss--"

Chen Zhou gasped, looking at Jiang Xia who was still biting him.
"You're a dog, huh? Let go right now!"

Jiang Xia remained silent, biting Chen Zhou's arm tightly, like a snail hiding in its shell.

Just as Chen Zhou was about to scratch the soft flesh on her waist, she suddenly jumped away, her cheeks flushed but revealing a smile of revenge.

Chen Zhou looked at the obvious teeth marks on his forearm and gasped.
Do you really consider me your enemy?

Jiang Xia sipped his bubble tea and mumbled:

"more or less."

Chen Zhou chuckled and said:

"You must still feel unsatisfied. Here's what we'll do: I'll give you three questions. If you can answer them, I'll call you 'Mom.' But if you can't answer them, we'll call each other by the book."

Jiang Xia raised his chin:

"Answering questions is my forte, how could there be any questions I can't answer? Go ahead and ask!"

Chen Zhou hesitated for a moment, then said:

"In our country, if a pregnant woman gives birth on the street, and just as a hand is born, that hand picks up a knife from the ground and stabs the woman to death, and then the baby crawls back into the vagina and stops giving birth, what would be the judgment in this case?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xia scratched his head and hesitated, then began to analyze:
"A natural person's legal capacity begins with independent breathing. A fetus is only born and therefore does not have legal subject status and cannot bear any legal responsibility."

"The person (the pregnant woman) is also not at fault: childbirth is a natural physiological process, and the fetus's behavior is beyond reasonable foresight, so she does not bear any legal responsibility."

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia's eyes lit up, and he made the final decision:

"So this incident should be classified as an accident, right?"

Chen Zhou clapped his hands and said:

"Congratulations, you got it."

Seeing the proud expression on Jiang Xia's face, Chen Zhou smiled slightly and said:

"The first question was just an appetizer. Now take a look at the second one!" Chen Zhou cleared his throat and said:

"Then, if a deaf-mute man uses sign language to harass a deaf-mute woman, is that considered verbal harassment or physical harassment?"

Unlike the previous question, which could still be answered, this question has completely crossed the line of the law.

Jiang Xia scratched her head, deep in thought, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the topic was too gloomy.

It gives her the feeling of her wife giving birth, and then the baby comes out and asks her whether she should save the doctor or the nurse.

But if you say this question is unserious, then it seems somewhat serious as well. Jiang Xia can't say that Chen Zhou set up a random question.

Although there were only two options, Jiang Xia lowered his head and gave up answering:
"Fine, I give up... Wait, where did you get all these weird questions?"

Chen Zhou chuckled and said:

"A loss is a loss. Do you still want to pry into the secrets of the boys' high school? It's a deal, you're not allowed to bring up today's past mistakes in the future."

Jiang Xia said in a muffled voice:
"If you don't want to flip it, then don't."

Chen Zhou shook his head slightly:

"It seems I won't be able to get the third question I prepared."

Jiang Xia gritted his teeth and asked:

Tell me, I want to see just how difficult it is!

Chen Zhou asked:
"Are you sure you want to listen?"

Jiang Xia said:
"What can they do to me if they hear that?"

Chen Zhou chuckled and said:

"Well then, let me put it this way: Suppose I'm 18 years old this year, and I marry a 68-year-old woman, my son is 42 years old, and my grandson is 21 years old. If my grandson commits a crime and goes to jail, will it affect my ability to take the civil service exam?"

After hearing a string of ages, Jiang Xia was completely bewildered, but she still firmly grasped the core principle of "one person committing a crime, three generations cannot take the civil service exam," and said:
"That's definitely not possible!"

However, Chen Zhou shook his head:

"You're wrong. Civil service exams mainly focus on whether immediate family members have committed serious criminal offenses. Crimes committed by grandchildren are usually not within the scope of strict background checks."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia was struck dumb, muttering to himself:
"What kind of weird and unconventional questions are these?"

Chen Zhou chuckled:
"Since you lost anyway, go back and do your homework."

Jiang Xia picked up his schoolbag and followed behind, dejected.

The two returned to the bookstore and found an empty double seat to start working on their holiday homework.

Chen Zhou took out a stack of test papers, sighed, and said to Jiang Xia:
"We've done it in bed, in the living room, in the car, in front of our parents, and even in the bathroom! What is this homework trying to do? We just can't finish it!"

Listening to Chen Zhou's frivolous remarks, Jiang Xia slowly typed out a few question marks and said:

"This episode is so outrageous, it's like you're making a suggestive joke, but I can't find any evidence."

Chen Zhou said solemnly:
"Your brain is full of yellow garbage. I've been joking about not being able to finish my homework the whole time."

Jiang Xia blushed slightly and glared at Chen Zhou:
"Bad guy."

After saying that, she ignored Chen Zhou and focused on writing the book she had just bought, "Breakthrough in Derivatives".

Seeing that Jiang Xia was ignoring him, Chen Zhou lost interest in making jokes and started putting on a mask of pain, doing his holiday homework.

"At birth, people are inherently good; not doing homework makes you a hero. What if my dad beats me? I'll fight back. If I can't beat him, what will I do? I'll go find Ultraman. Ultraman has bombs; he'll blow my dad to smithereens!"

After finishing three test papers, Chen Zhou noticed it was noon and deliberately started humming a song.

Jiang Xia glanced at him sideways and put away the documents:

Where should we eat lunch?

Chen Zhou looked left and right, and said:
"I remember there's a mala tang (spicy hot pot) place around here. I heard it's pretty good. If someone could treat me to it, I'd definitely fall in love with it!"

Jiang Xia rolled her eyes at him, her face slightly flushed, and said:
"Go away! I'm really fed up with you!"
