Chapter 8

The first subject was Chinese, and there were two invigilators. One sat behind the podium sipping tea, while the other walked around the room more diligently. Nearly thirty students were seated in the room, most of them writing furiously, while a few occasionally looked around.

There were also one or two students who seemed completely indifferent, looking around the room. These one or two students stared in amazement at Xu Xian, because a Chinese textbook, clearly a second-year high school book, was placed on his thigh.

However, when these two students, disbelieving, rubbed their eyes and looked again, they found that the student was sitting normally, with nothing out of the ordinary.

In fact, the invigilator who was walking around also noticed something unusual. He had indeed seen something moving out of the corner of his eye. But when he turned to look carefully, everything seemed normal.

The invigilator thought he must have been too tired lately and was seeing things. He shook his head, yawned, and looked out the window. But soon, he saw something moving out of the corner of his eye again.

The two students were also being teased in this way. When they felt something moving, they immediately turned their heads, but saw nothing out of the ordinary, including the invigilator.

However, the invigilator at the podium noticed the large movements of these two students and coughed, saying, "Focus on your exam, don't look around."

But the other invigilator kept staring at Xu Xian, hoping to see something different.

Half an hour passed, and Xu Xian had already filled in most of his exam paper. He still saw nothing unusual, so he gave up.

But not long after he gave up, the teasing movement appeared again. This time, the invigilator walked over without hesitation, tapping on his desk, "Student, please stand up!"

"Teacher, is there something wrong? I haven't finished my exam yet!" Xu Xian looked at the young invigilator innocently.

The young teacher, who was under thirty, looked Xu Xian up and down, showing a hint of confusion. It was clear that a student wearing only a T-shirt and jeans couldn't hide such a large book. Moreover, the desks were back-to-back, with no drawers to hide a book.

So, the invigilator coughed awkwardly and said, "Alright! Continue!"

Although he said that, Xu Xian noticed that the invigilator's gaze kept following him, as if trying to catch him in the act.

But it didn't matter. If he couldn't flip through the book, he could still use his mental scanning. Closing his eyes and focusing, he could see everything in the exam room. He easily found the student who was writing the fastest and most confidently, and began to fill in the blanks on his own paper.

Except for the final essay, Xu Xian's exam went smoothly and calmly.

But those who had seen him flipping through the book felt they had seen a ghost.

In the afternoon's science exam, the next day's math and English exams, Xu Xian mostly relied on cheating. He could only do about a third of the questions. Xu Xian felt quite ashamed about cheating in the college entrance exam.

But thinking that it wouldn't harm anyone and would make his parents happy, he decided to be shameless!

After the college entrance exam, they waited for the scores. Although they knew Xu Xian's usual grades weren't great, Fei Qiue and Xu Wanshan seemed more nervous than Xu Xian himself, which left him speechless, but he didn't try to persuade them because it wouldn't help.

During this boring waiting period, Xu Xian actually received a call from his dream girl, Yu Xiaoyu.

"Do you have time to go to Xiangcheng?" Yu Xiaoyu said without any preamble.

Stunned for a moment, Xu Xian came to his senses, "What's the pay?" If it wasn't the end of the world, Xu Xian believed Yu Xiaoyu wouldn't want to go on a date with him. So he got straight to the point. If he couldn't date her, he at least wanted the money.

"If the job is successful, as my assistant, I'll give you a 30% cut!"

"What's the total pay?"

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Can we round it up?"

"Are you coming or not?"

"Alright, alright! I'm coming, you money-grubber!"

"Don't act all high and mighty, it'll be good for you!"

"Thank you, my goddess, for your generous blessing. I am deeply grateful, and I will repay you with my life..."

"Talk any more, and your cut is halved!"

"Where and when? How long will it take?"

"Now, immediately, a week if it goes quickly!"

"Wait for me!"

Jumping out of bed, Xu Xian went to his wardrobe, packed his clothes into the Immortal Mansion, but then took out a couple of pieces and put them in a shoulder bag, along with his phone, a multi-tool, a flashlight, and a climbing rope.

"Mom, Dad, a friend invited me to go out for a few days. I'm leaving now; they're waiting for me!"

Xu Xian's actions startled Xu Wanshan and Fei Qiue. Xu Wanshan frowned slightly, and Fei Qiue hesitated, "How much money do you need?"

"Uh, no need, my friend is paying... and I have some pocket money, enough for the trip. I'll call you if I need more!" Xu Xian said, shouldered his backpack, changed into sneakers, and headed out, "My friend is waiting, I have to go. See you, Mom and Dad!"

Watching Xu Xian rush out, the couple exchanged glances, both seeing in each other's eyes that their son had truly grown up. He had never gone on a trip alone before, let alone for several days...

At the entrance of the neighborhood, a black Hummer was parked nearby. A girl with a ponytail, wearing a white T-shirt and a denim suspender skirt, exposing a pair of long, white, and alluring legs, and wearing white sneakers, was chewing gum and waving at him.

Seeing Yu Xiaoyu's fresh and youthful outfit, Xu Xian's heart rate quickened, and he quickened his pace.

But at that moment, a large white dog stood up and ran toward him, barking continuously.

"Xu Xian, Xu Xian... Help, help me!..."

Behind the dog, there were two noble dogs, and behind them, two fashionable women were running out of breath.

"Damn! This dog is at it again, damn it! Are you showing off?"

Xu Xian cursed inwardly, speeding up and almost sprinting toward the Hummer. But the white dog was faster, and as Xu Xian sat in the passenger seat, the dog leaped in through the rear window. It bared its teeth, stuck out its tongue, and panted, looking like it was saying, "What? Envious, jealous, and angry? What can you do to me? What can you do to me..."

Seeing the white dog jump into the Hummer, the two fashionable women, still dozens of meters away, stomped their feet and cursed. They could imagine that the white dog had been teasing them, and with its speed, they had no chance of catching it.

Oh, no, it was teasing their beloved dogs!

"Oh! Don't cry, baby, we'll ignore that heartless dog! Mommy will find you a dog ten times better next time..."

"Ha ha..."

Yu Xiaoyu's hearing was also good, and she could hear the voices from dozens of meters away, even in the city.

"Your dog?" Yu Xiaoyu looked at Xu Xian with a playful expression.

Xu Xian was embarrassed and shook his head, refusing to admit it. It was too embarrassing!

"No! This dog, I don't know it! I was thinking, we could have dog hotpot for dinner, do you like it?"

Woof, woof...

Baidi growled in the back seat, ready to bite Xu Xian's head.

"Very unique!" Yu Xiaoyu chuckled, started the car, and reversed quickly, then spun the car around and sped off like an arrow.

"Hey! It's this dog's fault, don't play with my life!"

"It's yours!"

"No! I want to kill it!"

Woof, woof... "I'll bite you first!"
