Chapter 16 What the hell? Side Quest

Because of the commotion, everyone noticed that Shen Xingyan had dyed his hair back to black, and many of the students who loved to look at handsome guys and beautiful girls felt a little sad.

But black-haired Shen Xingyan had a different kind of charm.

When Shen Xingyan sat back down, Chen Rui was still looking at him with a tongue-clicking expression.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, the most poisonous hearts are those of fathers and sons.”

“Go away.” Shen Xingyan kicked Chen Rui’s chair out slightly with his foot.

Chen Rui was gloating for only a few seconds before he almost fell off the chair. The noise he made was enough to make the people in the other group turn around and look at him.

Chen Rui pursed his lips, his face full of embarrassment. He quickly moved back to his seat and muttered softly.

“Shen Xingyan, I was just sighing a little! Do you have to be so harsh on your brother?”

Shen Xingyan didn’t have the time to listen to him talk. His eyes were fixed on the panel floating in front of him. “If you don’t say something sensible, I’m going to flip you over.”

【I didn’t mean to, hehe :-p】

“Hey, what the hell, hurry up and speak.”

【There’s a side quest dropped.】

“Side quest? Why didn’t you mention it to me before?”

【Because the probability of a side quest dropping is one percent. According to the manual, to be a good system, I must not provide the host with false information.】

The system’s voice sounded like it was reading word for word from something.

Shen Xingyan was silent for a moment, then he felt helpless. “Why didn’t you wait for me to die before telling me?”

【Aw, what are you talking about, Host!】 The system became serious.

【Don’t say that word, it’s so unpleasant o(′^｀)o】

“Heh, thank you so much.” Shen Xingyan’s face was full of “happiness.”

“So, what about the side quest? Hurry up and tell me.”

【Don’t rush, don’t rush.】

The expression on the panel disappeared. Shen Xingyan looked at the side quest on it, making him question his own sanity.

The system seemed to not notice Shen Xingyan’s confusion and read it out word for word.

【Please have the target admit that he is your defeated opponent before the end of next week. Upon completion, you will receive fertilizer for the tree of luck, accelerating its growth. Upon failure, you will have to have physical contact with the target for over an hour every three days.】

Shen Xingyan read it many times, and each time he read it, he wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Otherwise, how come he recognized each word separately, but together he didn’t understand?

The system said:

【Yes, Host, don’t doubt it, it’s exactly what you see.】

“F**k.” In the end, Shen Xingyan couldn’t help but let out a curse, making Chen Rui next to him stare.

“Isn’t your system broken?”

The system put on a pitiful expression.

【??? Don’t be angry, Host, it’s not something I can control.】

“Okay, okay, I’m not Russian.” Shen Xingyan was annoyed and didn’t buy it at all.

“What kind of nonsense are you learning?”

“What’s wrong with you, Shen Xingyan? You’re so angry.” Chen Rui knew that Shen Xingyan might seem like he didn’t study hard, but it was rare for him to directly swear.

Facing Chen Rui’s question, Shen Xingyan couldn’t tell him everything, so he just said it was nothing.

When school was over, everyone took their papers and stuffed them into their backpacks with a frown.

Shen Xingyan was also frowning, but not because of the calculus problems.

“Shen Xingyan, remember to check your QQ when you get back, I’ll tell you the exact time of the tickets when I book them.” Chen Rui looked anxious.

“Why are you in such a hurry? Isn’t it tomorrow?” Shen Xingyan put his backpack on his back.

Chen Rui smiled awkwardly. “I want to pick out a gift, and I need to touch up my hair color.”

“But Shen Xingyan, you have to admit, I still haven’t recovered from your black hair.”

Shen Xingyan barely raised an eyelid to look at him. “Go on your way.”

Chen Rui chuckled, forming a perfect contrast to the other students’ gloomy faces as he walked out of the classroom.

Chen Rui was the opposite of Shen Xingyan. Shen Xingyan’s hair was very dark, so he suffered a lot when dyeing and bleaching it. However, Chen Rui’s hair color was very light, so light that it was noticeable in the crowd.

In high school, he was often called out because of his hair color. He couldn’t stand it anymore, so he finally dyed it black. Even in college, he had to touch up the color after a while.

During the lunch break, Shen Xingyan deliberately took a less crowded route back, so no one noticed his changed hair color.

But now it was the weekend, so the school was full of students preparing to go out, it was a sea of people.

Shen Xingyan didn’t bring anything, he just stuffed the papers into his backpack.

Just as he reached the school gate and was about to look for his driver, he saw a familiar figure among the parents picking up their children.

“……” Shen Xingyan immediately turned around, wanting to pretend he didn’t see it.

But it was too late. Shen Xingyan’s appearance and height were very noticeable in the crowd, and his mother happily waved to him.

“Son! Mom is here!”

The parents standing nearby waiting for their children couldn’t help but gasp. Such a glamorous woman had such a grown-up son?

When they took a closer look at Shen Xingyan, they couldn’t help but exclaim.

As the saying goes, like father like son, his appearance, wow.

Shen Xingyan was not afraid of anything in life, except for his mother coming to school to pick him up.

Why? Shen Xingyan’s mouth twitched.

Of course, it was because he was a few minutes late that day, and his mother was crying her eyes out at the gate, as if he had been kidnapped. Even the school security guards were alerted.

When he was taken out, he was dumbfounded and was lectured by the parents around him for several rounds.

“Xingxing!” Shen’s mother beamed. Shen Xingyan couldn’t pretend he didn’t see her anymore.

“Mom, why did you come?”

Shen’s mother happily stepped forward and took his backpack in her hand. “Dad isn’t busy today, he’s cooking at home.”

Hearing that it was his old father who was cooking, Shen Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t know if it was genetic, but his sister, his mother, and he, none of them could cook.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

People standing not far away saw Shen Xingyan standing with a beautiful woman, and they couldn’t help but exclaim.

Did Shen Xingyan change his taste?

Shen’s mother and Shen’s father rarely came to school, it was mostly his sister who came, so everyone in the school knew he had a beautiful CEO sister, but they had never seen his parents.

Getting into the car, Shen’s mother tossed the backpack and found it was very light. When she opened it, she found it was full of crumpled papers.

She was puzzled for a few seconds, then slowly asked:

“Xingxing, did you bring the problems back to do or burn?”
