章節 38: Back in the Capital
The last exam for the day.
At this point, after the test started, the students were comfortable standing up and discussing with each other their answers while the test. That was because Lan Xiang continued to attract the proctor's attention, so much so that even his peripheral vision didn't register properly and he didn't hear the scuffling of the students' feet.
Ren Weiwei made sure not to look at Lan Xiang this time. Her godspeed writing earlier tired out her wrists, all she could do now was write slowly and carefully.
Lan Xiang finished the test and cast a sideways glance at the clock in the corner. "I finished this one in fifteen minutes, eh? Nice."
All of a sudden, the proctor sprang up!
The students heard his movement and hurried back to their chairs, their hearts beating quicker than ever.
"You...! Stop cheating!"
All of them turned their heads to the proctor. Shit, we've been caught.
Lan Xiang didn't pay attention and planned in his head what he should do for the rest of the day.
"Grr... Student Lan, I caught you moving your eyeballs!"
"..." Lan Xiang.
"..." The rest of the class.
"Ha? Me?" Lan Xiang pointed at himself incredulously. Other students were so obviously standing up and talking about the answer, yet you accuse me?
"Don't try to deny it! Your eyeballs rotated about 27 degrees to the left! I saw it!"
27 degrees to the left, he really is observing me! The fact that the proctor's observation was this detailed creeped Lan Xiang out. How closely must he be looking at me to see that?
"Whatever." Lan Xiang shook his head.
"Aiyayaya. Look at how desperate you must be to cheat." The proctor shook his head.
He approached Lan Xiang, one step at a time. "If you cheat, it means that you are dumb, but you need to continue your education. If you need education, that means you need a job. If you need a job, that means you are dirt poor. If you are dirt poor, that means you cannot afford a soap bar, and that's why you are smelly! So if you cheat, you are smelly!"
Somehow, the proctor's speech irked the entire class.
Lan Xiang couldn't help but to smell his pits. They didn't smell like anything. "My scent is fine."
The proctor shook his head once more and walked back to his desk, self-satisfied with his lecture. With a massive grin on his face, he sat down and relaxed himself.
Of course, he himself was aware of the absolute bullshit he spouted earlier, but he didn't care one bit. As long as he got to scold Lan Xiang, everything was a-OK!
And thus, the last exam for the day ended.
When the proctor left the classroom with all of their papers, Lan Xiang went to Lu Xifa's desk.
"So... how was the test?"
"Huh? Good, I guess?" Lu Xifa didn't understand why Lan Xiang was making stupid small talk.
"That's great! Let's go to the capital."
Lu Xifa turned speechless. Ah, so he was trying to bootlick me, huh. "Fine, you tutored me anyway."
"Eh? You two are going to the capital?" Zhang Xiaoqin overheard their conversation.
"Yes, we are."
"Can we come?" The three other girls gathered around Lu Xifa's desk.
Ren Weiwei was especially enthusiastic about it. Grr, Xifa, she has a huge advantage because of her teleportation skills! If only I could do it as well...
"No, you can't come. You know what they say, two's a company, three's a crowd."
Lan Xiang could remember that one time when he wanted to go with two of his colleagues at work to the fancy restaurant they booked. In the end, both of them shook their heads and mentioned this saying.
"Ah? Three's a crowd?" Ye Qingle widened her eyes. Is he really implying that we're third wheeling if we go with them? What about Jian Jian, you bastard?
Lu Xifa as well, she was shocked. You're already in a relationship with my second cousin, why are you coupling yourself up with me now?
For some reason, she didn't feel bad about it...
"Yes, three's a crowd. What if all of you come? Then we're five people, right? If three's already a crowd, what about five?" Lan Xiang exasperatedly explained. These simpletons, hai.
Oh, so that's what he means...
The four girls had a collective realization about Lan Xiang's true meaning and felt the urge to facepalm.
He simply meant that there's too much people in the group. Two was enough.
Lu Xifa felt a little disappointed but she cleared her head right after. She shouldn't be going for the forbidden fruit.
"Aiya, let's just go."
"Okay, see you guys tomorrow." Lan Xiang bade goodbye as he followed Lu Xifa to the garden once more.
Lu Xifa wordlessly opened a rift and jumped in it. Lan Xiang shrugged but followed through.
"Ah? Why is it your room?"
"Well, this is the only place I can clearly remember."
"Can't we go directly to Wuji Street?"
"I don't have any vivid memories in Wuji Street..." As she said that, she recalled something.
Lan Xiang's vicious fight against Ning Luoxue... No, she couldn't even call it a fight. However, she could only remember Lan Xiang's punches and Ning Luoxue's pained faces. She couldn't clearly remember the actual place that it occurred in.
When that memory exited, another one entered her mind.
When Lan Xiang extended his hand to her, she grabbed it as hard as she could.
She didn't really pay attention to it at the time, but now that she thought about it more...
Lan Xiang saw Lu Xifa gradually turn red and scratched his head. "Hello? Earth to Xifa?"
"Ah! Er... I mean, yeah, actually, we can go to Wuji Street directly." Lu Xifa couldn't look at Lan Xiang for the time being as she opened another rift and pushed him in, her following along.
The pair ended up in a secluded alleyway in Wuji Street.
