Volume 4, Chapter 72: Meeting Xiao Ling's lao bà
TL: flarewk
Today, is the last day of the school's semester, and also the date of the final examinations, this is the day that will decide the entire school of student's fate onto their holidays, whether they will happily enjoy it, or to do their a.s.signments till their endly demise, it's all onto this gamble already.
Prez strongly emphasized a point before the start of the exams, don't ever, ever cheat at all, because.....if the cheating was to be discovered, during next semester, all the homework would be multiplied by ten times; what kind of cruel torture is that......
Currently I'm sitting in a exam hall, in a group with a total of 12 people, the exam hall arrangements this time were almost all randomly selected, with different grades of students separated from their exams in dissimilar dates, which was why there's so many exam halls in the first place. Those 12 people then were split rather s.p.a.ciously in a cla.s.sroom that normally felt rather small and compact, which made the possibility of helping people to cheat even more minuscule.
Today is a rather gloomy depressing day, as the sweltering summer heat and dazzlingly bright sunlight didn't bring any vigor towards the school at all, and at lunch time, there's many within the ongoing crowd who carried their afternoon's exam paper's materials revising once again, and their thick panda eyes clearly told me, that they must have been revising till very, very late yesterday.
”Yè Zǐ, the afternoon's papers are all english and maths types, can I get through them?”
”Rest a.s.sured, at the very least there won't be any problems to reach the level of 'pa.s.sing' that you've mentioned.
”Much thanks to Yè talented lady, when I return I'll serve you joss-sticks with utmost respect!”
Finis.h.i.+ng my meal in the canteen, Ma Qing Xue unexpectedly didn't come look for me to have lunch together, as expected, for a student, their final exams were the real biggest enemy, in front of it, everything would always be defeated.
Afternoon, at 6.30 PM, after the final paper collection in the last exam hall, the finals ultimately had ended, and I sat onto the chair and gave off a long sigh of breath, while the other cla.s.smates in the same cla.s.sroom were also like me, feeling delighted from being free from the torment this time.
The results would be announced three days later, and that time, would be the moment that really decided our life or death, but I already wasn't worried anymore, as with Yè Zǐ's help, I'll definitely pa.s.s this time!
”Yosh, Ma Qing Xue, how do you feel about your results this time.”
On the corridor, I coincidentally met Ma Qing Xue, and so went on to casually ask her.
”Mm.....probably will pa.s.s everything, how about you?”
”Same like you, don't worry, when that time comes for you to really do ten times the a.s.signment, I'll help you do them too.”
”Thanks!”
Ma Qing Xue looked to be a little worried on her results, so I slightly pacified her, and on that face looming with gloominess finally gave off a smile.
”Oh right, that fella w.a.n.g Yi, he still hadn't returned today?”
”I'm not sure, but I saw his name on the make-up exams list.”
”Such a piy, a person alone challenging the finals; he'll definitely go crazy, this......”
”I'm afraid that w.a.n.g Yi won't be escaping from the ten times a.s.signments already, so let's just as well help him out on it.......”
”If he puts on a female dress and begs me, I might consider to help him out a bit.”
This is rather a good chance upon seizing his misfortune, didn't he keep nagging me every now and then to crossdress, so this time it's time for me to make him do it!
”Phew......Zhang Jian, I'm a little worn out today, I'll head on back first, let's go out and play together tomorrow.”
”Tomorrow huh, I have something on tomorrow, how about another day?”
I promised Xiao Ling onto accompanying her to visit her Lao bà, and although I personally wanted to renege on what I've said, but the moment I thought about what would happen to me.......
Sigh, who knows that I still might have a living route when I go there, but if I don't go, there's only a death route, and so I can only choose such a choice already.
”What a pity.....but another day is fine too, since the holidays had just only started.”
”Well then I'll contact you again next time, I'll go back first then, it's really tiring today.”
Flying back home, the first thing I did after opening the door is to go into my bedroom, and after switching on the air-conditioning in my bedroom I immediately pounced onto my bed. The bed was very comfortable as expected, and the me who was being completely worn out by exams shut my eyes to rest for just a while.
When I've woken up once more, I was hugging my warm bolster as I still was a little dazed, and since it's already the holidays, there's nothing else to do too, so I'll just lay like this till tomorrow then....I don't even want to eat dinner any more.
Eh? Wait-wait......why does something seem quite off, my bolster.... did I have a bolster in the first place? And why was this bolster rather warm, and felt rather smooth and supple to the touch, just like a human's skin......
I opened my eyes to look; Xiao Ling had climbed onto my bed once again, looks like I'll need to hurry up and change my door lock as a priority after all.....
”Awakened?”
”Awakened......Xiao Ling, why did you keep coming onto my bed.”
”I'm poor; can't afford to open the air-conditioning; can't I come in to feel the cold air?”
”It's not not possible, but you mustn't just anyhow run onto a healthy's young male's bed, you must know that, not all males were as upright as me!”
”I'm not afraid, I have weights and tasers, plus Sun jie also said before, as long safety precautions are done everything would be alright.”
Safety precautions again.....how many people must the Prez poison before she could let it go!
”Jian ge, you'll go ahead and sleep first, let's head off tomorrow morning!”
”Xiao Ling..., my life will be depending on you already.....”
A night thus frightfully went by, and the next day, Xiao Ling changed into a set of rather normal-looking clothes, not like her usual wearing of just a singlet and running around; looks like her father is the only person who could hold her down.
Walking with Xiao Ling out of the house door and the small district entrance, a few extremely intimidating looking bald uncles were waiting not far from there, and behind their backs was a black colored limousine.
”Yang shu, that thing that Lao bà was saying, were they true or false.....”
Me and Xiao Ling sat into the limo at the back row seats, and suddenly Xiao Ling asked a question to a rather handsome looking middle-aged uncle sitting at the front pa.s.senger seat.
”That's right, Xiao Ling, it's best that you stay with Xia laodà together for your safety, as they were planning onto you; they probably wants to kidnap you in order to threaten Xia laodà, since you're Xia laodà's only weak point.”
”Tch.....so annoying, how did they find me in this place.”
”I'm not clear, but luckily we discovered it quickly, if not by that time it'll be too late for regrets.”
”Huu......how long do I need to stay there?”
Xiao Ling sadly gave off a sigh, looked like she had accepted that reality.
”Around one week roughly, when your dad has finished settling them then it'll be alright already.”
”Start driving then.”
”Understood, oh yeah, Xiao Ling, how do I address this friend?”
That handsome uncle stared at me for a little moment, with quite a considerable amount of wariness within his eyes.
”He huh, he's Zhang Jian.”
”So it's Shào ye, my apologies, my apologies.”
Young master huh......when did I turn out to have such a status already......
”Well then this time it's good to Shào ye along as well, he can familiarize himself with our organization.”
”That's what I'm thinking too, hopefully he'll be able to get through Lao bà's test.”
”Xia laodà is a very gentle person, so he shouldn't trouble Shào ye at all.”
The handsome uncle and Xiao Ling traded conversations with each other, and I heard them talking until I became extremely blurred, in any case, under some unknown circ.u.mstances, I seemed to have become a rather important person of a certain organization......
Conversing with this handsome uncle on the car, I came to know about a few bits of information, actually Xiao Ling's father wanting to see me is just secondary, the main crux was that there's a clash between an underground mafia from overseas with Xia Ling's family, and both sides planned to use dirty-underhanded tricks towards each other; and so for precaution's sake, Xiao Ling was being brought over to the neighboring city, which was Xiao Ling's family's base camp.
