Wen Wan lowered her gaze, her expression dim and distant, completely uninterested in whatever was being said on stage. Her thoughts were tangled. She simply couldn’t understand why Shen Juan’s attitude toward her had suddenly changed.
She secretly glanced at him a few times.
And what she saw made her pause.
Shen Juan seemed… more handsome.
His brows were sharp, his features firm and defined, radiating a strong sense of masculine charm. Before, when he had pursued her, he had always carried a hint of flattery and timidity, even a kind of cautious submissiveness. To Wen Wan, he had completely lacked manliness, which was why she had never liked him.
But now, looking at him again, it felt as though he had become a completely different person.
His physique had improved, his muscles well-defined and flowing smoothly under his clothes, as if he could lift her effortlessly. The size was just right—not skinny, not exaggerated—simply healthy and balanced.
After the incident of the real and fake young master, the entire school had mocked him, calling him a fraud, a country bumpkin from the countryside who had stolen Shen Tianyi’s good life for nineteen years.
Wen Wan had thought Shen Juan would be crushed by the rumors and sink into despair.
And in truth, just a few days ago, he had indeed been utterly dejected, no different from a street loafer.
Back then, being liked and pursued by him had felt like a nightmare to Wen Wan.
He had been like an unshakable adhesive plaster—clingy, suffocating—making her feel both fear and extreme disgust.
The last time Shen Juan confessed to her, she had finally snapped. Losing control, she had shouted at him, “Get lost! Stay away from me, okay?! I really hate you! Even if every man in the world died, I wouldn’t spare you a glance!”
Those heartless words still echoed in her ears.
Yet after that turn, Shen Juan was no longer the same person.
Wen Wan felt a trace of regret rising within her.
Had she gone too far with her words?
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing Option 3 mission. You have received 15 attribute points provided by the twin campus belles, 1 million has been credited to your account, and you have obtained one Invisible Stink Bomb, which has been stored in the system backpack.]
At that moment, Shen Tianyi also stepped onto the stage, standing beside the principal.
Whispers spread through the crowd as everyone discussed his identity.
After the routine speech, Shen Tianyi stood there, the corners of his lips curling into a faint, unfathomable smile.
Being the center of attention right now, standing on what felt like his absolute home ground, filled him with a sense of superiority—as if he ruled the world, as if every beautiful girl below was his consort and every boy his soldier.
Shen Juan watched him quietly, expression calm.
No need to guess. This guy was definitely fantasizing again.
From what he knew of the original novel, Shen Tianyi was the kind of person who would show off whenever he got the chance—arrogant and narcissistic to the core.
Without a sound, Shen Juan opened the option to use the Invisible Stink Bomb in his system backpack.
Then he selected Shen Tianyi as the target.
When the moment came, all he needed to do was confirm it, and the Invisible Stink Bomb would silently take effect on Shen Tianyi.
After introducing Shen Tianyi, the principal emphasized his identity as the top scorer of the college entrance examination and the true young master of the Shen family. Many students couldn’t help but sigh, casting sympathetic glances toward Shen Juan. Read the latest chapters at novelping dot com.
The incident of Shen Juan being driven out of the Shen family had already spread like wildfire. At Christie Business School, it was practically common knowledge.
Shen Tianyi quickly spotted Shen Juan in the crowd.
Damn it. Shen Juan’s presence was too striking. Even sitting in an inconspicuous corner, he was easy to notice—and beside him sat those two beautiful twin campus belles.
Now that the principal had publicly declared him the true young master of the Shen family, it was equivalent to slapping Shen Juan in the face in front of everyone. It also felt like he had finally vented some of his pent-up frustration.
Shen Tianyi curled his lips into a crooked, arrogant grin, raising his brows smugly. The more he acted, the more insufferably cocky he looked.
Shen Juan stared straight at him.
This bastard was still showing off. Let’s see how long he can keep it up. Hopefully he didn’t eat anything too mixed today.
“Alright, next, let us welcome Shen Tianyi to the stage with a round of warm applause!”
Thunderous applause erupted from below.
Shen Juan watched the stage, his expression unchanged.
Shen Tianyi bowed, then adjusted an imaginary tie, striking a pose as he prepared to show off.
Qi Junshan added fuel to the fire, “Everyone listen carefully. Shen Tianyi is this year’s top scorer in the city’s college entrance examination. Especially for the freshmen, he is someone you should learn from! And today, he will be giving a speech without notes—truly commendable!”
Having received quite a few benefits from Shen Qinglin, Qi Junshan was clearly going all out today to hype Shen Tianyi up.
“Alright! Applaud!”
Shen Juan was the first to clap.
For a few seconds, the entire audience froze. Even Shen Tianyi found it unbelievable.
Among everyone present, Shen Juan should have been the one who least wanted to see him at Christie Business School. How could he possibly take the lead in welcoming him?
Wen Li widened her eyes, staring at Shen Juan in confusion, wondering if something had gone wrong with him. Was he running a fever?
“Clap,” Shen Juan said calmly.
Though she didn’t understand, Wen Li was stunned. Still, she forced a bitter smile and began clapping as well.
Once one of the campus belles started clapping, more and more students followed suit.
Shen Tianyi took a deep breath, feeling incredibly proud.
He had noticed that one of the beautiful girls had taken the lead in applauding him. That must mean she had a good impression of him and was welcoming him!
“Alright, everyone, quiet down and listen to me.”
Shen Tianyi raised his hand like a leader addressing a crowd, which made Qi Junshan slightly displeased.
What status did this kid think he had, copying his gestures?
If not for the gifts his father had given, he would have been kicked off the stage already.
“Respected leaders, teachers, dear students…”
The usual formal and uninspired opening had just begun—
“Pfffff~~~~”
Something felt off.
Shen Tianyi was holding a microphone, and there were speakers on both sides of the podium.
That sound echoed especially loudly.
The students looked at each other, unsure.
Some suspected Shen Tianyi had just farted, while others thought it couldn’t be.
In such a serious setting, even if he had to fart, surely he would hold it in. How could he just let it out like that?
After all, Shen Tianyi was a top student, the college entrance exam champion. Someone with such discipline—how could he not even control a fart?
But then—
“Pff—pff… pff—pff!”
A rapid series of explosive sounds followed, sharp and relentless, making people feel like sparks were flashing before their eyes.
Those who had doubted before were now completely convinced.
Students in the front row were already gagging.
“What the hell is that smell?! Oh my god, it’s killing me!”
“Shen Tianyi, did you eat shit or what?! How can your farts smell this bad?!”
“Giving a speech? More like giving a fart show!”
“Damn, this stench is burning my eyes! Look, I’m tearing up!”
Voices rose one after another, filling the scene with chaos.
On stage, Shen Tianyi’s face turned completely ugly.
He had no idea what was happening. Just moments ago, everything had been fine. His stomach hadn’t felt uncomfortable at all.
So why couldn’t he control it now? Why were the farts coming one after another?
And why did they smell so horrible?!
“Shen Tianyi, what’s going on? Can’t you control yourself a bit? Did you have to do this at a time like this?”
Qi Junshan’s face darkened as he warned him.
He had just praised him to the skies, and now he was getting slapped in the face right after.
