Beaten by Shen Nian Until Real Injury Was Inflicted

The cheerful chatter and laughter of Xia Herui, Chen Minyue, and Shen Shi could still be heard in the room.

But upstairs, Shen Nian and Xia Yanchun were not behaving themselves at all.

Or to be more precise, it was Shen Nian who wasn't behaving.

However, Shen Nian was only indulged for a brief moment. After he rubbed her legs a few times, Xia Yanchun grabbed his restless large hand, placed it on her stomach, and ordered him to massage it.

To prevent him from crossing the line, Xia Yanchun even covered the back of his hand with her own, keeping a watchful eye on him.

Shen Nian buried his face in Xia Yanchun's neck and gently licked her earlobe. The wet, ticklish sensation made Xia Yanchun so embarrassed that she almost kicked him off the bed.

She gave him a look of disgust.

Buzz—

Xia Yanchun's phone suddenly vibrated. Taking it out, she saw it was a WeChat audio call from her homeroom teacher, Su Kexi.

"Shh!" Xia Yanchun made a hushing gesture at Shen Nian and answered the call. "Hello, Ms. Su, what's up?"

Su Kexi's slightly expectant voice came from the other end of the line: "Xia Yanchun, have you had lunch yet?"

"Not yet." Xia Yanchun guessed, "Did you call to ask about my exam scores, Ms. Su?"

"Hehe, yes, that's right."

"It shows I'm in the top fifty in the province. I won't know the exact score until the twenty-eighth."

"Then I can rest easy."

It was quite common for top students to slip up during the college entrance examination, so Su Kexi had to ask around just to be sure.

They chatted a bit more about her future plans before hanging up.

Not long after she hung up, it was Shen Nian's phone's turn to ring.

"Hey Ms. Su, what's going on?" Shen Nian spoke casually like a little delinquent. Even though he knew Su Kexi was calling to ask about his scores, he still had to play along.

"Has student Shen Nian had lunch yet?"

"Not yet. Are you going to treat me, Ms. Su? I'm free right now."

"...?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end. "I haven't eaten either. I was actually hoping you'd treat me."

"Damn, Ms. Su, not only have you not made any money after working these past few years, but you're actually doing this miserably."

"..."

In a room where no one could see her, Su Kexi felt like crying little pearl tears.

Although she knew Shen Nian was joking, when those words came out, she really couldn't hold back.

Because she truly hadn't saved much money.

She had no debts and no sick relatives at home; she was simply too reckless with her spending. Whenever there was a holiday, she couldn't resist going out to eat and drink well with other teachers. Just two days ago, she took advantage of the break to get a three-hundred-yuan manicure, and yesterday she just had a three-hundred-yuan Japanese meal... not to mention buying pretty clothes and traveling.

This bastard Shen Nian had dealt some true damage to her.

She wasn't even dating anyone, so what was wrong with treating herself a little better?!

That evil Shen Nian. If only she had known, she would have checked more carefully when she punished him by making him copy The Faults of Qin.

"Hehehe." Shen Nian couldn't help but chuckle and cut straight to the chase. "You want to ask about my score, right, Ms. Su?"

"Mhm, I need to register it here, and I want to know myself."

"Top fifty in the province. As for the exact score, I'll send it to you on the twenty-eighth."

"That's very impressive. I remember you used to score below six hundred."

"You didn't know this, Ms. Su, but I've always been a master at controlling my scores." Shen Nian scratched his head. "I'll hang up now, Ms. Su. I have things to do in a bit."

"Okay, bye-bye."

"Bye, Ms. Su."

Beep beep beep.

The call ended. Shen Nian quickly lay down next to Xia Yanchun, wrapping his arms and legs tightly around her. He didn't look at her pouting face but made another call instead.

Xia Yanchun didn't even dare to resist, terrified that the person on the other end of the line would hear how intimately she and Shen Nian were cuddling.

Shen Nian called Chen Dong. "Hey, what's your score?"

"Six hundred and sixty-eight. I can only say it's decent."

"Not bad, that's about half of mine."

"What did you get?"

Before Shen Nian could reply, Chen Dong spoke up first, "Damn, I forgot that the top fifty in the province can't check their scores. I let you show off again."

"What do you mean? I wasn't planning on showing off. We're bros. Have you called Ma Mingfan yet?"

"Not yet. I just checked my score too, and I have to head out in a bit."

"Alright, sounds good. By the way, Chen Dong, I kind of miss the days when I used your clothes to wipe my hands."

"What the f*ck...!"

"He's mad." Shen Nian hung up at lightning speed.

He grinned from ear to ear.

He could already imagine Chen Dong losing his mind and cursing up a storm.

"You're so mean..." Xia Yanchun, who had been held by Shen Nian the whole time and listened to the entire conversation, couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's alright, everyone does it." Shen Nian bared his teeth in a grin. "In the beginning, Chen Dong was the one who treated me like a rag and wiped his hands on my clothes first."

"Ugh, boys are so... sloppy."

"What do you mean? It's just wiping off water. It dries in a few minutes anyway, it's not like it's pee."

"Can't you just buy a pack of tissues and keep it around?"

"I did buy some. Four hundred pulls. Bought it in the morning, and it was gone by the afternoon. Do you have any idea why?"

"Who told you to leave it out in the open? Haven't you heard of the Dark Forest theory? Whoever exposes the coordinates of their tissue pack first will have it emptied by everyone else."

"Alright, alright, alright." Shen Nian was speechless.

Seeing that Xia Yanchun was about to keep chattering away, Shen Nian sat up and gave her tender little cheek a loud kiss to shut her up.

Next, he had to call Ma Mingfan...

The call was answered quickly. "What's up Bro Nian? I'm playing Naruto."

"What's your score?"

"What score?"

"The college entrance exam."

"Holy crap, we can check our scores now?"

"..."

Shen Nian's eyes twitched in disbelief.

Hajima already had the makings of a college student. As expected of Hajima.

"Don't hang up, don't hang up. Let me finish this match and I'll check my score live, alright... Hmm... Let me see how much I got... Chinese 128, Math 124, English 131, Comprehensive Science 254, total score 637. Holy crap!!!!"

"Awesome, awesome. Evil cultivators sure progress fast."

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Shen Nian's mouth twitched. He felt like Ma Mingfan was going a bit crazy, being this thrilled. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.

His eardrums were practically shattered.

"Damn, I'm so freaking awesome!" Ma Mingfan tried to rein in his emotions, but his excitement was still very obvious.

"How could you be so careless? You should go see a doctor."

"Wait a minute, that's not what I meant. Hey, what's your score? Top fifty?"

"Of course."

"Seriously, you're so freaking badass, damn!"

Shen Nian: "..."

Vulgar!

As an elegant gentleman, Shen Nian disdained associating with such vulgar people.

After he hung up, Xia Yanchun, who had been holding back her laughter, finally burst out laughing. Covering her mouth and giggling, she pointed her index finger at Shen Nian and teased, "You got hit by the boomerang of your own words, didn't you."

Back in the classroom, Xia Yanchun had heard plenty of the dirty jokes that the boys in Shen Nian's corner would talk about. At first, she found it a bit baffling, but later on, she could basically understand it all.

Sometimes she would even smile knowingly because she could understand their dirty jokes.

"What are you mumbling about?" Shen Nian curled his lips, completely unbothered. "Both of them did pretty well on the exam. I just wonder which universities they'll apply to."

Chen Dong's score was more than enough to go to a local university, but Ma Mingfan's was a bit iffy. Popular majors were out of the question, but agriculture or national special programs shouldn't be a problem.

Ma Mingfan would probably apply to a university out of town.

Shen Nian muttered to himself in his heart.

If Ma Mingfan had worked a bit harder, maybe they could still hang out together at Nanjiang University.

"What, can't bear to see them go? Still want to be classmates?"

"Sigh, if they go out of town for college, we might really never see them again. Look at our junior high class group chat, does anyone even talk there anymore? Besides me, which other junior high classmate are you still in touch with?"

"Some things are just inevitable. Every stage of life brings its own friends. If possible, we can always invite them out for a meal in the future and chat about college life... wouldn't that be nice too?"

"Alright, that makes sense. I feel comforted by Chunbao, so I'm rewarding Chunbao with a kiss."

"If you want a kiss, just say so... Hey, don't grab my hands... Mmph..."
