Chapter 36

"No, no, no, impossible."

The woman was stunned at first, and then denied it repeatedly.

The child who was unwilling to admit that she loved him so much and who had been protected in her arms no matter how she was beaten or scolded would secretly call his father every time she managed to escape!

"Ah." Bai Siyu sighed. That was all he could say. There was nothing else he could do.

"I can only assure you that I didn't lie to you. It's up to you what to do next."

Not all children love their mothers and know right from wrong.

If I were to sacrifice my entire life...or even my life...for my child, would it really be worth it?

After the woman left in a daze, several people came to Bai Siyu's stall one after another, most of them asking about the children's marriage, studies and so on.

Bai Siyu accepted them one by one, and was still sweet-mouthed. Several grandfathers and grandmothers paid very generously.

The master who was selling dog-skin plasters not far away looked at Bai Siyu with special envy. Seeing that Bai Siyu could earn hundreds of dollars just by talking nonsense, his eyes were red.

Bai Siyu had lunch under the overpass at noon. He bought an egg-stuffed pancake from the snack street opposite. It was stuffed with two eggs, two intestines, a bag of vegetarian tripe, and a bunch of large chicken steaks.

Super deluxe version!

It was particularly big and heavy, and Bai Siyu ate it with great satisfaction.

He drank one of the two bottles of water he bought in the morning and gave one away. Bai Siyu bought two more bottles and put them in his schoolbag.

There are many kinds of drinks nowadays, including many kinds of sparkling water, peach flavor, cucumber flavor, and Bai Siyu basking in the sun, squinting my eyes while drinking. It’s a heavenly day.

It’s definitely more fun than being in the gym.

There aren't that many delicious foods and drinks in the gym.

In late June, the sun has become quite scorching.

Although it is a little cooler under the overpass, there are few pedestrians.

It was three o'clock and Bai Siyu hadn't opened the shop again.

Bai Siyu was not in a hurry. He hummed a song and fanned himself with a fan. He finished a bottle of soda water and then crushed the bottle to play with it. He was extremely happy and relaxed.

This made the surrounding stall owners very unhappy.

The old man selling ointments curled his lips behind his ears and said to the woman selling balloons next to him: "Look at that child, he is not a decent child. He is so young but he can lie. You can't even see that he is blushing."

The old lady nodded: "Yes, you can earn hundreds of dollars just by cheating someone, and you can earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in a month without doing anything. It's ridiculous. This world is so unfair."

The grandfather snorted, "What kind of future can he have? How many years can he keep deceiving people? He might be arrested soon. He probably hasn't even been to school for a few years. This kind of child is still no good. Unlike my eldest grandson, he is a serious undergraduate student. That's the real future."

The old lady said with a sigh: "Your eldest grandson is really good. My grandson is also very good. He is studying in No. 9 Middle School now and can get a perfect score in math."

Bai Siyu: “…”

Just, could these two gentlemen speak a little more quietly?

You guys are making such loud noises, he can't pretend not to hear you!

But they did remind him, what day was today? He remembered that the results were released on the 25th.

Bai Siyu took out his phone, turned on the screen, and saw the words clearly written in the upper left corner of the screen -

15:11

Sunday, June 25th.

Bai Siyu: “?”

Bai Siyu: “!!!”

Bai Siyu's fingers suddenly became stiff, his breathing became slightly rapid, and the disease of Student's Syndrome had accurately befallen him.

How to check the score...

Internet? Phone?

Wait, calm down.

Bai Siyu's Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, he exhaled, opened his phone again, and wanted to search for the score checking website, but found that he seemed to have forgotten his admission ticket number.

Bai Siyu grabbed her hair.

"We are the successors of communism, carrying on the glorious traditions of our revolutionary predecessors..."

The cell phone suddenly rang, startling the nervous Bai Siyu.

Take another look at the notes, it is the Shepherd's Candle.

Bai Siyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Long, long candle?"

"What's wrong? Why does your voice sound so tense?" Pastor Candle asked with a smile.

"No, nothing." Bai Siyu swallowed his saliva, "Changzhu, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

A sentence popped up in Pastor Cang’s mind:

Can't I call you if nothing happens?

But he felt that it was a bit strange to say this, so he coughed and said, "Today is the day when the college entrance examination results are released. Have you checked your scores? It seems that you can check them after 12 o'clock."

"I, I, I... I didn't. I was still telling fortunes under the overpass."

Mu Changzhu's magnetic laughter reached Bai Siyu's ears through the microphone.

"Which overpass?"

"Don't laugh. I really did make quite a few orders today." Bai Siyu said, and the tension seemed to be relieved a lot. "Some people are jealous of me."

The smile in Shepherd Cang's eyes deepened. Gao Qi stood beside Shepherd Cang with his head lowered.

It’s so strange, what is the Third Young Master laughing at?

Mu Changzhu signaled that Special Assistant Gao could leave and let Du Wu come up later. Then he continued to say to Bai Siyu: "I found out your score. Do you want to hear how many points you got?"

Bai Siyu froze for a second: "What?!!"

"How did you find out?!!"

"You forgot that you took a photo of your admission ticket and sent it to me." Pastor Cang smiled and said, "You can check it by phone."

"More, more, more...how many points?!" Bai Siyu became extremely nervous again in an instant and held his breath.

Pastor Candle still smiled: "How many points do you think it will be?"

"Ahhhh Changzhu, stop teasing me. Tell me quickly, how many points did I get in the college entrance examination!" Bai Si's jade teeth itched, and he wanted to bite Mu Changzhu.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. What's your score?" Pastor Candle deliberately panted. "I don't know what it is because the staff member didn't tell me."

Bai Siyu's breath rose to his throat and he choked back, shouting angrily: "Ahhhh, you are still keeping me in suspense, we are breaking up, breaking up!!!"

"No, I really didn't keep you in suspense this time." Mu Changzhu said innocently, with a hint of joking, "That's what the staff really said. His original words were - the results of the top 20 candidates in the entire Beijing city ranking will not be announced for the time being, so you really can't blame me."

Bai Siyu, who was already extremely anxious on the other end of the phone, was completely stunned when he heard these words.

His eyes widened.

"What did you say?! Changzhu, what did you say?!"

"I said, your college entrance examination score is among the top 20 in Beijing. You did very well. Congratulations, Ayu."

“Aaaaaaaaa——”

Bai Siyu looked like a kitten with its fur standing on end, and it felt like all his hair was standing on end.

"I ranked in the top 20 in Beijing? You said I ranked in the top 20 in Beijing?!"

Bai Siyu's whole body turned red, his cheeks were rosy, and his eyes were filled with tiny, bright lights due to his excitement. When he turned around and saw Mr. Plaster and Mrs. Balloon with their mouths open in a daze, he felt so excited that he wanted to hold their hands and say thank you!

"Ahhh Changzhu, I, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. No, I'll come find you later, okay?!"

He was so happy that he had to share his overwhelming happiness with his good friends.

"Of course." Shepherd Candle agreed with a smile.

Mu Changzhu called Bai Siyu "Ayu" twice when she was either moved or excited. Bai Siyu was so emotional that she didn't notice the intimacy of the title.

Much more intimate than "Si Yu".

Bai Siyu didn't even set up his stall. He just rolled up the yellow cloth, stuffed it into his bag, picked up the small flag and ran away.

The Mu Group has more than one office building in Beijing, but the most luxurious and spectacular central office building is in Dingshang District, about ten kilometers away from Bai Siyu.

Bai Siyu was carrying a small flag and taking the subway, attracting a lot of attention along the way, and some people even tried to talk to Bai Siyu.

Bai Siyu wore a mask and said nothing.

He lowered his head and checked his phone, and found that several teachers in the previous "10-day College Entrance Examination Sprint Group" had sent messages.

It seems like he was asking him if he had checked his grades.

Several teachers seemed to have inexplicable confidence in him. They kept asking him how many points 600 would be, whether he could get 680 or not. Even the oldest math teacher said that 680 was too low a guess and he would definitely get more than 690.

Bai Siyu couldn't help but feel a little moved and ashamed. After the college entrance examination, he didn't take the initiative to report to these teachers.

"Thank you for your concern, teachers. I just checked my college entrance exam results and found that they have been blocked and will not be released for the time being, so I don't know how many points I got, but it is indeed not bad. Thanks to the guidance of all the teachers, I can get such a good score. Thank you very much. [Rose] [Rose] [Bow]"

After a while, the WeChat group started to buzz with calls, and teachers popped up one after another.

Chinese teacher Du Ping: "Oh, Siyu, you did really well in the exam. Only the top 20 in the city are not announced. I'm so happy for you. You're awesome."

Physics teacher Long Qishan: "Excellent! I knew you would do well in the exam! Now you can choose between Peking University and Hua University!"

Math teacher Wu Xiuhua: "Good boy, you did really well on the test."

"......"

Wenjuan sent a private message.

"That's great! You did so well in the exam. I'm really happy for you, but I think you deserve it."

Bai Siyu replied in the group and said to Teacher Wen Juan: "Thank you, teacher."

Wenjuan obviously saw the reply immediately, but her dialog box kept showing "in progress".

Three minutes passed before a message came.

"Teacher, I really, really appreciate you. These days, I was busy with divorce, finding evidence, litigation, and property division... so I didn't give you feedback in time. A week ago, I found evidence that he cheated on me and got that girl pregnant. I also found evidence that he transferred property. Now the situation is completely in my favor. I sincerely thank you for helping me get out of this fire pit at the last moment.

Because the girl was a mistress, I don't hate her. I even cooperated with the girl's sister and obtained a lot of evidence that this scumbag violated the marriage law. The teacher is really lucky to meet you. Thank you, Siyu classmate. "

Bai Siyu smiled slightly when he saw the message.

Reply: "I wish you all the best in the future, teacher."

"Ding Dong, we have arrived at Menshi Bridge. Please take your belongings with you and prepare to get off. Next stop is Jixiang West Street..."

The subway door opened with a bang, and a lot of people rushed in. Bai Siyu was squeezed so hard that he could only stand in the corner.

Several college students crowded around Bai Siyu, two of them holding the handle, two of them leaning directly on the carriage, and started chatting in a nonstop manner.

"Shubeisi has been banned. Have you read the news?! It actually contains banned drugs. Luckily I didn't take it when the wind was strong before!"

"Fuck, of course I watched it. Didn't several people die from taking it at Beijing University of Science and Technology next door? It's horrible. At that time, many up-loaders on C station pushed it everywhere, saying that it can beautify the skin and improve memory. It turns out that it actually contains banned drugs. It's so heartless."

"It was poverty that saved me. I almost bought it when I saw that they said that after one course of treatment, my skin became much whiter and I could memorize words faster..."

"It seems that it's not just a banned drug. Haven't you read the gossip? The drug is very evil! Among the three students who died from taking it at Beijing University of Science and Technology, one jumped off a building, one died from drinking water, and another seemed to have died while sleeping. The one who died from drinking water drank so much that he became a giant..."

"Fuck, stop scaring me, it's so scary, my sanity is gone!"

"......"

Bai Siyu looked at the tunnel passing by outside the carriage with a normal expression, hiding his achievements and fame.

But he vaguely felt that something was unusual.

These students have been mentioning Beijing University of Science and Technology. Could it be that the poison started from Beijing University of Science and Technology?

Forget it, this is a matter for the Special Investigation Department to investigate, so he should just stop worrying about it.

He first went to find a long candle to celebrate properly!

At the same time, Mu Changzhu, who was quickly reviewing the project documents just to get off work early and have dinner with Bai Siyu, received a call.

It was Mr. Mu who called.

"Changzhu, are you busy this afternoon? Your second sister and I will go to the Central Building later. Are you free?"

Shepherd Candle glanced at the pile of folders beside him.

"Dad, I'm a little busy today. Do you and my second sister have anything to do? I'll ask Gao Qi or Du Wu to do it."

"Well, it's not a big deal, but Gao Qi and Du Wu really can't help you."

Mr. Du was calm and coughed.

"Just come down once. Dad only needs five minutes."

The pastor paused and said, "Okay, Dad, just call me when you get here."
