Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: The Despairing Siblings

Shen Yixiao's "our dad" really has some skill.

It applies to both Shen Yanran and Luo Yao.

If the two of them actually get married in the future, Luo Yao would naturally call Shen Qiushan "dad" too.

But at this moment, both Shen Yanran and Luo Yao were a bit confused and didn't quite understand what Shen Yixiao meant.

"Shen Yixiao, clarify, what about our dad?"

Shen Yanran asked, frowning.

"Did I not express myself clearly just now?"

"Our dad has come to school!"

Shen Yixiao said with a miserable face, "Not only has he come to school, but he's also my classmate and desk partner!"

"I can't live like this..."

Ah??

Shen Yanran and Luo Yao, having fully understood, were both shocked, their faces full of disbelief.

"Shen Yixiao, you must be joking!"

"How could the school allow him to come at his age?"

Shen Yanran still found this too absurd. Their dad was already 38 years old, even if he wanted to come to school to supervise their studies, the school authorities needed to agree first.

But how could the school authorities agree to let a parent appear on campus as a chaperone!

Impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

"Baby, were you dreaming in class?"

Luo Yao also thought this was too far-fetched. She had just seen Shen Yixiao's dad yesterday, and he clearly wasn't the scholarly type, not to mention how could someone of that age come to school!

"If you don't believe me, ask Wang Yunpeng!"

Shen Yixiao waved to Wang Yunpeng, who was standing not far away: "Brother Peng, come over here and tell them if my dad has really enrolled in our class."

Wang Yunpeng was purposefully keeping some distance from the three of them. He appeared to be waiting for Shen Yixiao, but in reality, he was secretly watching Shen Yanran. He had been secretly in love with his good buddy's sister since the first year of high school, but he was too timid to confess, and every time he saw Shen Yanran, he got extremely nervous.

Seeing Shen Yixiao calling him over, Wang Yunpeng quickly adjusted his hair in the glass, tugged at his not-so-neat jacket, then shoved his left hand into his pocket, assuming what he thought was a cool pose, and then walked over, trying to look relaxed.

However, his overly long "preparation" made Shen Yanran and Luo Yao fall silent.

"Shen Yixiao, why are your friends all so weird?" Shen Yanran quietly complained.

"Does he really think walking like that makes him look cool?" Luo Yao whispered.

Shen Yixiao rolled his eyes: "Hurry up, class is about to start!"

Wang Yunpeng didn't speed up despite his friend's urging; he had his own pace, and the left hand in his pocket couldn't come out because that's how the CEOs in idol dramas usually walked.

When he finally got close to the three, he pulled his left hand out of his pocket and struck what he thought was a domineering pose against the wall...

Seeing this, Shen Yanran and Luo Yao both inwardly rolled their eyes.

"Ahem!"

Wang Yunpeng cleared his throat, preparing to start his talk.

Just then, two girls came up the stairs from around the corner, chatting as they walked.

Girl A: Let me tell you, a forty-something transfer student just joined our class!

Girl B: What! A forty-something transfer student? Really???

Girl A: It's true, I heard it's Shen Yixiao's dad, here to supervise his studies!

Girl B: No way, is that even allowed? That's outrageous!

Girl A: Even more outrageous, our homeroom teacher arranged for Shen Yixiao to sit with his dad, haha, I can't imagine how Shen Yixiao feels.

Girl B: Sitting with his own dad? That's enough to make anyone want to die!

Girl A: I saw him run out of class, maybe he really went to die...

"Zhang Yuting!"

"I won't let you go even when I'm a ghost!"

Shen Yixiao couldn't listen anymore and let out a ghostly wail.

Zhang Yuting, who was sharing gossip with her friend, was so scared she shivered, then she looked up and saw Shen Yixiao, Shen Yanran, and the others standing at the corner at the top of the stairs.

"Shen Yixiao!"

"You scared me to death!"

Zhang Yuting patted her chest, then quickly pulled her friend along to leave because it was really embarrassing to gossip about someone behind their back.

Wang Yunpeng also felt awkward; he had intended to tell the story of "Uncle Shen Enrolling" like a storyteller.

In the end, the story he brewed for so long, "The Chronicles of Uncle Shen Enrolling," didn't get a single word out before being spoiled by passersby!

The fact is that taking too long to prepare makes it hard to deliver!

And it's easy to be cut off!

"How did our dad manage it?"

"To actually convince the school authorities to let him enroll!!"

Shen Yanran was still in disbelief, but shock aside, since her dad wasn't in her class, she didn't feel much else about it.

"Baby, you poor thing~"

Luo Yao sympathized with her boyfriend, holding Shen Yixiao's hand to gently comfort him without hiding her feelings.

"Shen Yixiao, our dad is going through a lot of trouble for you too!"

"So, can you please put in some effort and do better in the next mock exam!"

Shen Yanran didn't feel much impacted by their dad enrolling in school, so she coached her brother as the big sister.

"Shen Yanran, it's easy for you to say standing there!"

"Why don't you try sitting with our dad!"

Shen Yixiao retorted with a grimace.

"Our dad came to school to enroll because he thinks you're not doing well."

"I don't have as bad grades as you do!"

Shen Yanran snorted lightly, then patted Shen Yixiao's arm, "Study hard and enjoy the fatherly love, dear brother!"

After speaking, Shen Yanran raised her chin and went back to the classroom.

"Baby, did you see!"

"The schadenfreude on Shen Yanran's face!"

"Oh my, how can I have a sister like this..."

Shen Yixiao lamented, looking up to the sky in despair.

On the other side.

Shen Yanran returned to the classroom and heard classmates gossiping.

"Did you hear! There's a forty-something transfer student in class two!"

"What? A transfer student that's how old?"

"Forty-something? Did I hear wrong, or did you say it wrong!"

"You didn't hear wrong, it's really forty-something!!"

"Whoa! For real, at forty-something still going to college? That's too ridiculous!"

"Yeah! A forty-something high school student! Totally abstract!"

"Where did you get this news, it's all wrong! He's clearly 38, and he's Shen Yixiao's dad!"

"What? Shen Yixiao's dad? Then isn't it Shen Yanran's dad??"

"Yeah, it's Shen Yanran's dad!!"

"Hey, Shen Yanran's back, let's ask her and find out..."

So, just as Shen Yanran got back to the classroom, she was surrounded by gossiping classmates.

Suddenly Shen Yanran, who previously thought her dad being at school didn't affect her, felt Shen Yixiao's despair.
