I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

System: [Host, don't underestimate people's jealousy! Think about it, if a person is very different from others, then the jealousy of others is beyond your imagination! ]

[Especially in such a competitive imperial examination, having one less strong rival would be good for many people! ]

Qin Yue: [Alas! It turns out that if a person who is too outstanding is not well protected, he still needs to know how to hide his shortcomings! ]

The more Madam Zhou thought about it, the more she regretted it. If she had paid more attention to the situation in the school earlier, perhaps things would not have become so serious.

Ugh……

System: [That is indeed true. You should also be more cautious. After all, you must always be on guard against others!]

Qin Yue: [Sister, go on, what happened to Zhou Chenyang later? Why did he remain in such a slump for more than a decade?]

System: [When Zhou Chenyang received the sudden invitation from his classmate, he was actually a little happy, but when he heard that it was to go to a brothel, he backed off. Although he focused on his studies, he was not a fool who knew nothing. He naturally knew what a brothel was for, and as a student, he could not go there, as it would damage his reputation.]

[He originally wanted to refuse, but those people repeatedly assured him that they would just go in to take a look, sit for a while and then leave, and that they would just go there together to broaden their horizons.]

[This speech successfully moved Zhou Chenyang. The most important thing is that he wanted to build good relationships with his classmates from the bottom of his heart.]

[Since he was young, few people were willing to be friends with him because of his excellence, because being around him was too stressful.]

[So, he chose to go to the brothel with those people. Of course, at first he did intend to just go in and take a look and then come out.]

Qin Yue: [I suddenly feel that if Zhou Chenyang and Yuan Kangan knew each other, they should be able to become friends! They are not on the same path, but there is no competition. They are both excellent, and maybe they can develop into a simple friendship! ]

System: [Yes, but not everyone is jealous of Zhou Chenyang. In fact, there is one person among his classmates who has been paying attention to Zhou Chenyang silently and regards him as a role model and a goal to pursue.]

Qin Yue: [Ah? Who is it?]

System: [Qi Beigu, current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was born in a poor family. He worked very hard to get into the Imperial College.]

[However, after entering school, he found it difficult to keep up with the teaching progress and was discouraged for a while. It was Zhou Chenyang who helped him and discovered his talent in arithmetic. He encouraged him to study arithmetic in depth. As a result, Qi Beigu was hired by the Ministry of Revenue with his profound arithmetic skills.]

[Therefore, over the years, he has always been grateful to Zhou Chenyang. Not only that, his sister Qi Xiyu has also been waiting for Zhou Chenyang. ]

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed an expression of disbelief and looked towards one place.

That’s right, Qi Xiyu also came to attend Princess Ningping’s coming-of-age ceremony today.

In fact, as the sister of a small minister of the Ministry of Revenue, she would not be invited to such an occasion.

It was Qi Xiyu who asked her brother Qi Beigu to ask Minister Wei for an invitation.

As for why Qi Xiyu had to come, it was because she knew that Old Madam Zhou was coming, and she wanted to ask Old Madam Zhou if he was okay.

In the past, the Zhou family closed its doors to visitors, and the two families were not familiar with each other, so she had no chance to know any news about Zhou Chenyang.

In fact, many people came to propose marriage to her, but she rejected them all.

That brilliant young man has been rooted in her heart and cannot be erased. Even though more than ten years have passed, she is still waiting, still holding on to hope, and still believing in that young man.

When Mrs. Zhou heard what the system said, she couldn't believe what she heard.

There was actually a little girl who waited for Yang'er for more than ten years?

Why are you so stupid?

Why waste your youth...

If Yang'er could get better, maybe there would still be a chance for the two of them. But if Yang'er keeps himself closed off, wouldn't the girl have wasted her life in vain?

Madam Zhou didn't know Qi Xiyu, so she naturally didn't know that the girl she thought was very stupid was also here today...

Qin Yue: [Sister, I can understand that Qi Beigu is concerned about Zhou Chenyang, but why is Qi Xiyu concerned about him? Is it because of her brother?]

System: [It started because her brother often mentioned Zhou Chenyang in front of her, saying how great he was and how good he was.]

[As she kept mentioning him like this, Qi Xiyu gradually remembered Zhou Chenyang in her heart. Girls always admire strong men, especially a young man with both good character and talent.]

[So, Qi Xiyu would go to the Imperial College from time to time to pick up her brother from school or bring him food, all in order to see Zhou Chenyang in person.]

[Zhou Chenyang actually noticed Qi Xiyu who was stealing glances at her from time to time. Although he didn't understand why the girl was always staring at him, he was actually happy in his heart and thought Qi Xiyu was very cute. ]

[The turning point for the two was actually because of that brothel incident. ]

Qi Xiyu pursed her lips and clenched her fists.

She didn't know what had happened at that time, she only knew that the young man she admired became a bad guy who was wanted by everyone overnight.

But the young man she knew was not as vicious as those people said!

In fact, she saw them going to the brothel that day. She was curious why the young man, who usually walked alone, would go out with his classmates today, so she quietly followed them. However, she suddenly fainted for some reason in the middle of the journey. When she woke up, she was already at the door of her home.

Then the next day, she heard the news that she still couldn't believe.

Qin Yue: [Sister, why do I feel like Zhou Chenyang and Qi Xiyu have a crush on each other? If things continue to develop normally, they might actually end up together! ]

[So what happened in that brothel? It made Zhou Chenyang devastated and caused him and Qi Xiyu to miss each other! ]

System: [A murder has occurred! ]

Qin Yue: [Fuck! Sister, please tell me more! ]

System: [At that time, the classmates took Zhou Chenyang to a remote brothel. One of the classmates noticed that there was a little girl following behind him. The little girl was the girl they often saw at the gate of the Imperial College, Qi Xiyu.]

[Some people understand the relationship between men and women better than Zhou Chenyang. After a few encounters, they know that Qi Xiyu is interested in Zhou Chenyang.]

[The men had originally intended to spread the news that Zhou Chenyang was hanging out in a brothel, and then have the brothel girls come out and accuse Zhou Chenyang, thus ruining his reputation.]

[However, after they discovered Qi Xiyu, they decided to change their plan. ]
