Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 222: 159, Military Region Mechanized Unit

After the freshman competition ended, first-year students all started their winter break.

Xiao Chen and Shen Qinghan weren’t in a rush to head home, planning to stay in the dorm for one more day before leaving.

“Xiao Chen, what do you think I should buy with these more than 400 credits?”

In the living room, Shen Qinghan looked at the hundreds of credits displayed on the school app, somewhat unsure, and asked Xiao Chen, who was by her side.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chen suggested, “Why not use them to buy Revitalization Pills? They can boost the efficiency of Body Refining. Plus, you can buy some gifts for your parents on the way back.”

“Then I’ll get the Revitalization Pills, and with the remaining credits, I’ll buy gifts for my parents, and yes, for Aunt Xin and Uncle Sheng too.”

Shen Qinghan accepted Xiao Chen’s suggestion and began placing orders in the credit store non-stop.

Xiao Chen also opened the credit store, ordering the same items: Revitalization Pills and gifts for both of their parents.

However, he ordered the Advanced Rejuvenation Pills.

The effects of the Advanced Rejuvenation Pill were 10 times that of ordinary ones.

As for the price, it was much more expensive but still within an acceptable range.

Xiao Chen planned to advance his Body Refining process to Third-stage Body Refinement Completion during the upcoming winter break.

To achieve this in just over a month of winter break, spending money was indispensable.

He would have to spend a lot to buy Revitalization Pills.

“Ding-dong!”

The doorbell in the room rang.

Shen Qinghan went to open the door and saw a tall and slender girl standing before her.

She introduced herself as the Vice President of the Student Council, coming to invite Shen Qinghan to join the council, with the promise of cultivating her as a potential future President.

In addition, there were many accompanying benefits.

For example, at least once a week she could receive personal guidance from the current President, take charge of a department to hone her leadership skills, and there was a certain amount of credit subsidies each month, and so on.

Shen Qinghan didn’t like the student council, and after patiently listening to the offer, she politely and smilingly declined, saying that she wasn’t planning on joining any organizations for the time being.

The Vice President smiled, “Shen student, there’s no need to refuse so quickly; you can think it over during this winter vacation and make a decision at the start of next semester.”

“Hmm, I will.”

Shen Qinghan nodded perfunctorily.

After the Vice President left, she immediately went to complain to Xiao Chen, “This student council acts so high and mighty, as if I must join just because they have invited me, and as if it’s my loss if I don’t.”

Xiao Chen replied, “That’s the way it is; the student council is like the officials of the school. Being a bit haughty is normal.”

Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment before expressing a bold idea, “Xiao Chen, the atmosphere in the school is so poor now, and you’re so strong. Why don’t you go for the President position?

“When the time comes, I can be the Vice President and we can manage the school together.”

“Besides, being President comes with a credit subsidy: 500 credits a month. If I become Vice President, I’d get another 100 credits a month. Then we wouldn’t need to worry about credits anymore, and we’d be totally free of credit worries!”

Shen Qinghan got excited as she spoke, envisioning a bright future.

Xiao Chen smiled, “That sounds good; I’ve thought about it too, but let’s wait and see.”

…

Early the next morning.

The two of them grabbed their luggage and left, heading to the campus outskirts to stay with their parents.

That evening, both families gathered in a nearby hotel in the external campus area and opened a private banquet room for dinner.

During the meal, the parents teased Xiao Chen and Shen Qinghan, laughing and suggesting they have kids right after graduation for the grandparents to dote on.

Xiao Chen merely smiled and didn’t comment.

Shen Qinghan had a thinner skin, feeling embarrassed by the teasing, and her face was flushed throughout the meal.

After the meal, each family returned to their own home.

As soon as she entered the house, Zhang Wanxin started rubbing her own shoulders, with a worried look on her face, and said, “The bigger my age gets, the more problems with my body arise, and my shoulders keep stiffening up, it’s really torturous.”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately said thoughtfully, “Mom, go lie down on the couch and I’ll help you massage your shoulders.”

As soon as Zhang Wanxin heard this, her face lit up with a smile, “My good son, I’ve been waiting for you to say that!”

Lin Yansheng came over and said, “Xiao Chen, after you’re done with your mom, could you give me a massage too?”

“Of course,” Xiao Chen smiled and replied, “I can give you a massage every day during the winter break, morning, noon, and night; Master Lin is at your service anytime.”

“Haha, that’s our great son indeed!”

Lin Yansheng laughed, his mouth wide with joy, thinking to himself how lucky he was to have such an impressive and sensible son, feeling like he must have saved the galaxy in his past life.

While the father and son were talking, Zhang Wanxin had already taken off her shoes and was lying on the couch, pillowing her head on her hands folded together.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen promptly went over and began skillfully massaging Zhang Wanxin’s shoulders.

During the massage, the two chatted non-stop, mostly with Zhang Wanxin musing.

“Ah, time spares no one. I feel like I’ve aged so much these past few years. When I laugh, the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes are so obvious.”

“Mom, you don’t look old at all. You look like you’re just thirty-something, no different from a young wife. If you went out and said you were my sister, nobody would doubt it.”

“My son is so observant, knowing how to make his old mother happy, much more so than your father.”

After saying this, Zhang Wanxin added, “But, I’m already in my forties, almost at the proper age to be a grandmother. I’m just waiting to hold a grandchild. I hope you and Han Han can marry and have children right after graduation.”

“Otherwise, without little ones at home, it always feels incomplete, lacking vitality.”

As she spoke, Zhang Wanxin added another line, “Having just one isn’t enough, it’d be better to have two, or even three; the more the merrier, I’ll take care of them for you.”

Xiao Chen replied, “Hmm, I’ll make an effort, and try to give you a grandchild upon graduating from college.”
