Chapter 52: Chapter 52: North, Master’s Degree

It must be said, in front of a bunch of small media outlets, the reputation of this TV station still carries weight.

Upon seeing the press card in Xiong Cancan’s hand, everyone actually made way for her.

However, after entering the crowd, Xiong Cancan realized the person surrounded by the crowd was indeed the guy who earlier refused her interview.

Instantly, her expression fell.

It wasn’t just her; even the live stream was flooded with “WTF” comments.

“WTF, isn’t this the guy who failed at school earlier?”

“WTF, must be a real failure, coming out so soon after the exam?”

“I’m a graduate from Peking University, based on my experience, you’re not allowed to submit exams within sixty minutes. From the time this guy came out, he must’ve only written his name and waited until the sixty-minute mark before rushing out!”

“WTF, excellent deduction upstairs!”

“WTF, too bad we can’t see the guy doing a handstand and peeing in his mouth, I even took a screenshot before!”

…

Ignoring the content in the live stream, back at the scene, despite Xiong Cancan’s frustration, her professionalism compelled her to ask some questions.

Suddenly, her eyes brightened with an idea, and she blurted out a question:

“Hello student, seeing you came out so quickly, you must have found this year’s exam questions really easy, right?”

Even knowing full well that Lin Yi in front of her is a ‘failure’, asking like this shows that Xiong Cancan clearly intended to sprinkle some salt on his wounds.

Joking aside, after he confronted me so smugly earlier, now that he’s in my hands, how could I not make him feel embarrassed?

Looking at the female reporter speaking to him, Lin Yi felt a sense of familiarity. He remembered she seemed to want to interview him when he arrived earlier, but he didn’t quite bother with her.

Of course, Lin Yi still had no plans to bother her now, or rather, to bother any of the people present.

Quietly making money is the way to go, having this many reporters focusing on him is not what Lin Yi wanted.

“Haha, it’s alright, the questions were easy. Alright, everyone, please let me through, I have important things to do, please let me through.”

After casually responding, Lin Yi parted the crowd to leave, but once again Xiong Cancan’s microphone appeared by his mouth, and her voice rang out again:

“Oh? Student, do you mean to say there is something more important to you than the exam?”

Lin Yi turned his head to glance at Xiong Cancan, noticing the undertone in her voice, and couldn’t help but feel speechless. Such a petty woman, he then gave her a bright smile and casually said:

“Haha, it’s just a little test, is there a need to take it so seriously…”

After speaking, he unhesitatingly parted the crowd and left.

Looking at Lin Yi’s suave back, the group of reporters shook their heads helplessly. This guy sure can boast.

Xiong Cancan’s live stream was full of disdain for Lin Yi:

“This act, I’ll give you a hundred points! Just ‘a little test’, aren’t you afraid of the wind slapping your tongue?”

“Haha, took a screenshot already, later I’ll post this guy online to dig up which school’s slacker he is!”

“I’m a graduate from Peking University, based on my deduction, this slacker brother isn’t pretending, just stating a fact, because for a student who only writes their name, any test looks the same!”

“666, Master’s deduction is spot on! Too bad can’t see you doing the handstand and peeing!”

“I’m a graduate from Peking University, haha, don’t worry guys, to satisfy your curiosity, I’ve decided to lower the difficulty. I’ve noted down this slacker’s situation and will keep an eye on it. Once the exam results are out, if this slacker’s total score reaches 300, I’ll live stream myself doing a handstand and peeing! Those who haven’t followed me yet, go ahead and follow me!”

“WTF, awesome, whether true or not, followed first!”

“Followed, followed! Waiting for the Peking Master’s handstand pee!”

Meanwhile, in an old bathhouse with a sign reading ‘North Street Master’s Bathhouse’, a sleazy fat man was rapidly tapping away on his phone keyboard, wearing a lecherous smile:

‘Haha, riding this internet wave is quite easy, gained five or six hundred followers already, at this rate I might just become an internet celebrity! Damn, if one day I become popular, I’ll quit this lousy job for sure!’

“Scrubber! Come scrub me down!”

While the fat man’s fingers tapped quickly, fantasizing about becoming a viral sensation, he suddenly heard a loud shout, and instinctively tossed his phone into his cabinet, quickly standing up to respond:

“Hey hey, coming up, would you like some salt rubbing? I’ve got some premium bath salt imported from Syria…”

…

Walking out of the crowd, Lin Yi headed straight to where he parked earlier. Due to the exam traffic control, the car was parked quite far away, and it took about five minutes for Lin Yi to reach it.

Seeing their son emerge, Lao Lin and Empress Dowager Ye, who were resting and chatting inside the parked car, were stunned. Empress Dowager Ye quickly raised her hand to check the time, ensuring she hadn’t overslept, and asked somewhat uncertainly:

“Why are you out already?”

Seeing his mom’s expression, Lin Yi chuckled, then sat in the backseat and said:

“Finished the exam, Dad, the afternoon test is still some time away, and since it’s not far from Antique City, shall we take a stroll?”

However, facing his son’s playful behavior, Empress Dowager Ye’s expression gradually darkened.

After Lin Yi finished talking, Empress Dowager Ye’s hand was already reaching for her shoe, which scared Lin Yi so much he quickly explained:

“Mom, mom, mom, let me explain, it’s not that I wanted to come out early, but the questions were too easy. Simpler than the mock exams you gave me yesterday, I finished answering in just ten minutes.

I thought there’s nothing else to do inside, and considering the hot weather you and Dad were waiting outside, I came out quickly…

Hey hey hey, Mom why are you taking off your shoes? Ah, right right, Dad let’s skip Antique City, let’s go to a shoe store to buy your wife some sandals… Ow, not the face, Empress Dowager…”
