Chapter 17 High School Entrance Examination
The high school entrance exam week soon arrived. A few days before the exam, Xie's father took Xie Ting home so that he wouldn't disturb the young master and could study peacefully at night. Although Xie's father was the Chu family's housekeeper, he mostly followed Mr. Chu around and was often away from home. The housekeeper's duties were all handled by the deputy housekeeper.
So Xie Ting was also curious and even asked his father, "Is this still a housekeeper? He doesn't manage the Chu family at all!"
His father told him, "I'm Mr. Chu's personal butler, mainly responsible for his and his wife's affairs. Tingting, your mother passed away early. Do you complain that your father is often not around?"
Xie Ting, who was five years old at the time, said very sensibly, "Don't complain. Dad works so hard to raise me. Dad, I love you!"
Xie's father was so moved that he gave Xie Ting a huge sum of 100 yuan, which enabled Xie Ting to have enough money to buy beauty magazines.
Now, because of the high school entrance exam, Xie's father has also taken responsibility and specially took a few days off to take care of Xie Ting's food, clothing, housing and transportation at home. Xie Ting suddenly felt very happy.
Saturday.
"Dad, I want some grilled wings." Xie Ting, who hadn't finished his homework for a while, felt a little greedy and went out to find his father, who was reading a newspaper on the sofa. Xie Ting even took a peek and saw that it was a serious newspaper.
The veins on Xie's father's forehead were throbbing. Since breakfast this morning, he had been wanting to eat this and that, and even took advantage of the time when Xie was out to watch TV. If he hadn't touched the TV, he really wouldn't have noticed.
"Go read. The exam is the day after tomorrow." Father Xie didn't even take his head away from the newspaper.
Xie Ting went to sit next to Xie Dad again, hugged Xie Dad's arm and started to act coquettishly, "I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry! I have an exam the day after tomorrow, shouldn't I take good care of my stomach?"
Xie's father was really overwhelmed, so he gave Xie Ting 100 yuan and said, "Go buy it yourself, give me the rest of the money, and come back in half an hour."
Xie Ting happily took the 100 yuan and ran out to buy grilled wings.
On Sunday night, Xie Ting went to his father's room again and asked, "Dad, if I can't get into Ning'an No. 1 Middle School, can you pay to get me in?"
Father Xie leaned on the bed, rubbed his brow, and said tiredly: "Tingting, the young master didn't take extra classes, and he has been in the same class with you. You follow him every day, what on earth have you learned?"
Xie Ting smiled and said, "I learned swimming and fencing. Oh, and I also play a little golf."
Xie Dad: “…”
"What about studying? He's the top student in the class, and you've never thought about making progress since then?"
Xie Ting walked over, shaking his head. "Dad, you don't understand. The young master and I studied together, and we studied for about the same amount of time. It's just that he's smarter than me. If I want to have his grades, I have to be a slow learner. But I'm a human being."
Xie Ting stretched out his arms again.
Father Xie sighed heavily and could only comfort Tingting that her personality was better than Chu Chenghuan's, and that her grades were just as good.
"Try hard for the exam. If you don't pass, go to a lower-level high school. You'll just play around if you follow the young master around."
Xie Ting curled his lips and turned away: "I'm going to find Chu Chenghuan."
Xie Ting used his home phone to call Chu Chenghuan late at night. After two rings, the other end picked up the phone.
"You still remember to call me?" Chu Chenghuan's low voice on the other end was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Xie Ting also sighed: "I wanted to look for you several times, but my dad stopped me from disturbing you. I guess I pissed my dad off tonight, so he didn't chase me and beat me up."
Chu Chenghuan was silent for a second before he said, "Don't always make your dad angry."
Xie Ting said nonchalantly, "My dad won't be mad at me for many days anyway. He'll beat me up after the high school entrance exam. Let's not talk about this anymore. Chu Chenghuan, are you sure you're going to Ning'an No. 1 Middle School?"
Chu Chenghuan hummed.
Xie Ting sat on the sofa with his phone in hand and analyzed, "I think I should be able to pass the exam, but there's also a chance I won't. When the time comes, could you ask the admissions office teacher..."
Before Xie Ting could finish his words, Chu Chenghuan interrupted him, "No, take the exam well."
Xie Ting was unhappy: "What if I don't pass the exam?"
"To sell pornographic magazines."
Xie Ting quickly covered the receiver, fearing that his father, who was still in the bedroom, would hear it.
"Chu Chenghuan, that's an art magazine! It's a beauty magazine!" Xie Ting corrected in a low voice.
Chu Chenghuan's voice, a hint of laughter, came from the receiver: "Do well in the exam. You got full marks in both PE and the experiment. As long as you perform normally in academics, you can get into Ning'an No. 1 Middle School. You can look at the questions I circled for you tonight. You won't do too badly."
Xie Ting can only trust Chu Chenghuan.
The high school entrance examination lasts three days.
Xie Ting was extremely depressed that afternoon after the exam. Chu Chenghuan saw Xie Ting like this and asked, "Didn't you do well in the exam?"
Xie Ting shook his head. "Not really. I'm just afraid others will do well in the exam. Young Master, if I don't pass, can you tell the admissions office if you can take me with you? If they don't let you, then I won't go. Then they will definitely accept me. After all, if you don't go, they'll lose a top scorer in the college entrance examination."
Chu Chenghuan:.
Chu Chenghuan was speechless: "Can you please stop embarrassing me?"
Xie Ting scratched his head, looking innocent.
"I don't want to either. I just don't want to be separated from you." We can't let the young master secretly become a homosexual in high school!
Chu Chenghuan has no temper anymore. Xie Ting is clingy.
Chu Chenghuan changed the subject, "I'll treat you to dinner."
The topic changed instantly.
After returning home that night, Chu Chenghuan contacted his father and got straight to the point: "Can Xie Ting be enrolled in the same high school as me?"
Father Chu jokingly said, "I heard from your Uncle Xie that Tingting always clings to you and wants to go to the same high school with you. Your Uncle Xie was afraid that you would bother him. But now, you can't bear to leave her?"
Chu Chenghuan looked embarrassed.
"Just tell me if it's okay or not."
"Of course I will. I will donate to a library."
Chu Chenghuan was relieved and reminded his father: "Don't tell anyone else."
"Okay, I won't tell you." Father Chu always agreed to any request.

After the exam, Xie Ting stayed at home. Xie's father went to work after accompanying him to take the high school entrance exam. Chu Chenghuan would occasionally see Xie Ting's father at home. Chu Chenghuan also asked Xie's father, "Where is Xie Ting?"
Father Chu smiled and said, "He's at home watching TV. He just finished his exams, so let him relax for a few days."
Chu Chenghuan pursed his lips.
On the day after the exam, he invited Xie Ting to dinner. After Xie Ting returned home, it was the third day, and he had completely forgotten about him.
so--
"Uncle Xie, did you give Xie Ting money?"
Father Chu was also very kind to his boss's son. "He can't cook, and I'm busy. If he doesn't pay me, I'll probably call him and ask for food while I'm at work."
Chu Chenghuan suddenly said, "Uncle, you should remember that Xie Ting bought beauty magazines before."
Dust-covered memories are evoked.
Father Chu paused for a second, his face gloomy, and spoke up for his son: "Haha, it should be changed, it should be changed."
"Not necessarily." Chu Chenghuan said in a mysterious tone and returned to his room.
The more Father Chu pondered, the more worried he became about what his filthy son was looking at at home. At just five years old, his son already knew how to buy those adult magazines. Over the years, he had controlled Tingting's pocket money. Except for holidays, he usually stayed at the Chu family home, staying with the young master.
But even so, when he was cleaning their room at the Chu family's house some time ago, he found a very old magazine under the bed. He clearly remembered asking Tingting to throw it away!
I must have found it in the trash later. Tingting actually kept that magazine. When he was away, she must have been looking at beautiful women every day.
But because the high school entrance exam was approaching, Xie's father kept it to himself and didn't tell him. Plus, when he got home, he saw his son was only thinking about eating all day and had forgotten about it.
Now that I have money, I don’t know what I will buy.
no.
Tingting can't be left at home alone.
