Chapter 62
Because the college entrance examination was approaching, the students in the classroom were making their final sprint and no one would pay attention to Yu An. So he boldly placed Claude between two piles of books, leaned against the wall, and used his body to block the view behind him.
In this way, Yu An could start doing his homework with Claude's company.
Claude was curious: [What is the college entrance examination? ]
"It's just about competing with other students for a spot in a better school." Yu An explained to him, glancing at the countdown on the blackboard. "The college entrance exam is only ten days away. Sigh..."
Claude saw a boy in the back of the classroom crying while doing math problems, looking like he was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He asked in confusion: "If I don't pass the exam, I'll die?"
Yu An was amused. [How is that possible? It's not like you can only take the exam once. It's just that it will have a huge impact on your future life.]
Claude couldn't understand, [Don't cry.]
Yu An looked at him puzzledly, "Why am I crying?"
"If you don't pass the exam, we can go to another world and take the exam again." Claude told Yu An considerately, "If it doesn't work out, we can go back to the temple and not stay in this world."
Yu An understood and smiled as he touched Claude's head with the pen cap. "Don't worry, I have good grades. I won't fail the exam."
Because the college entrance examination is approaching, Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen are very concerned about Yu An's mentality, fearing that he is too nervous or pushes himself too hard. The aunt at home also spends a lot of time to nourish Yu An's body.
Claude was influenced by them and became nervous as well.
But thinking about his non-human identity, Yu An found it funny. While other alien species were fighting wits and courage with the research institute, he had already taken the college entrance examination with humans.
While Yu An and Claude were chatting, a hand suddenly stretched out from outside the window and knocked on Yu An's head.
Yu An was startled and quickly pressed Claude down with a book. Then he turned to look out the window. Xu Ye Ning was standing by the window with his arms folded, looking at him with a smile.
Yu An smiled at him guiltily, secretly glanced at the biology book that was pressing Claude tightly, and prayed that Xu Ye Ning didn't see Claude.
Xu Ye Ning didn't make things difficult for Yu An. He nodded at the biology book and said, "Behave yourself."
Yu An nodded hurriedly and watched Xu Ye Ning leave, still feeling uneasy. He wondered if this guy would go and complain to his fathers. His father already hated Claude...
Looking down, he saw two white and tender little tentacles stretched out and entangled together nervously. Yu An sighed, untied the little tentacles, and then put them back.
Oh, Claude!
Yu An was startled and hurriedly put away the biology book, anxiously asking: [Claude, are you okay? ]
【fine. 】
Claude stood up slowly, shook his head, and looked at the biology book that was several times bigger than him. How should I put it... the feeling of being pressed down by the book and rubbing against the table was quite magical.
After Xu Ye Ning's surprise inspection, Yu An really didn't dare to put Claude openly on the table again.
He put Claude back into the hole in the desk and said sheepishly, "Wait inside for a while. I still have half an hour before class ends. Go play with Brother Qiao Xiuer and the others first."
Claude and Joxuel had nothing to talk about, so after returning to the table, he lay down on the tissue paper. Joxuel and Solander would not disturb him. They had something more important to do, which was to play Candy Crush.
The screen on Xiaobai’s back can actually be used to play games!
Qiao Xuer and Solander were like they had discovered a new world. They stuck to Xiaobai all day long and tried to please him in every way, just to play a game of their favorite Candy Crush game.
Xiaobai's status jumped up and he was ranked just below Yu An.
Half an hour later, the bell rang, but only a few students left the class. Yu An packed his schoolbag immediately, turned to look at Xu Mingyao, and asked with his eyes: Are you leaving or not?
Xu Mingyao was scratching his head while doing math problems. He glanced at Yu An's little action and felt quite relieved. This kid finally didn't run away as soon as the get out of class was over. Now he had a place for him in his heart.
Xu Mingyao nodded immediately, put aside the half-finished question, quickly put on his backpack, and followed Yu An.
The two of them were the first group to leave the classroom, almost facing the gaze of the entire class. The teacher on the podium also stared at them quietly as they passed by.
The focus was on Yu An. Xu Mingyao was 1.9 meters tall and stood there like a mountain. The muscles on his arms looked like he could punch a dozen elementary school students and make them cry. And his brother was the principal.
The teacher doesn't want to mess with him.
But Yu An could still be persuaded, so the teacher gave Yu An an eye attack, trying to get him to go back to his seat and study for a while.
Yu An seemed not to notice anything and smiled at the teacher. "Thank you for your hard work, teacher. Go to bed early. We'll leave first."
Yu An has a delicate appearance and looks particularly well-behaved and likable when he smiles, but this teacher has taught him for three years and naturally knows that he is very different from a good boy in his inner self.
The teacher exchanged glances with him for a few seconds, then sighed in defeat, "Don't even think about playing around in the dorms. The college entrance exam is almost here, so hurry up."
Yu An nodded obediently, "I know, teacher."
After saying that, he left the classroom without stopping. The teacher looked forward to seeing him turn around but he didn't. The teacher shook his head and sighed, then turned to look at the still full classroom, feeling comforted that there were still many sensible and studious children.
In the entire campus, except for the senior high school teaching building, the rest of the places were only lit by dim street lights. Yu An and Xu Mingyao walked side by side on the path, and their shadows were lengthened.
As soon as he left the classroom, Claude crawled out of Yu An's schoolbag, climbed onto Yu An's shoulder and sat down, and used his little tentacles to tidy up his messy hair.
Yu An asked Xu Mingyao, "Are you going back with your brother tonight or staying on campus?"
Xu Mingyao stared at Claude with a frown on his face. When Yu An called his name again, Xu Mingyao suddenly came back to his senses. "Ah? Oh, I'm not going home tonight. I'll stay at school."
After saying that, Xu Mingyao looked at Claude again, his eyes full of curiosity, "An An, is this thing on your shoulder... the alien they were talking about?"
Yu An was surprised, "Did your brother tell you?"
"Well, he said you were carrying an alien species with you and told me not to bully you." Xu Mingyao muttered depressedly, "He's always making wild guesses. When have I ever bullied you? He's deliberately wronging me."
Looking at Xu Mingyao's expression, Xu Ye Ning must have told him about the alien species and people with special abilities, so there was no need for Yu An to hide it from him.
Yu An nodded and introduced: "His name is Claude."
"What a strange name." Xu Mingyao wanted to touch it, but when he met Claude's frosty eyes, he felt a chill in his heart and withdrew his hand awkwardly, "It's a bit fierce."
Claude: [Disrespectful human cub.]
Yu An stroked Claude's little tentacle, barely smoothing it out. He looked at Xu Mingyao and said, "Although Claude is a good person, he doesn't like strangers touching him, or he'll hit you. You better be careful next time."
Xu Mingyao: "...Are you sure his behavior can be called good-tempered?"
Yu An: "You were the one who touched him first. If it was Brother Qiao Xiuer, you would have lost your hand."
You can refer to Ling Xingcheng for details. He has been in a wheelchair for a whole year. Until now, he always takes a detour when he sees Qiao Xuer. Compared with this, Claude is simply like an angel with a temper.
Xu Mingyao was bewildered. Aren't they discussing alien species now? Why did they have to bring up Yu An's brother? Besides, he remembered that Yu An was their only child, so where did his brother come from?
Xu Mingyao insisted on his point of view. "...you should be careful anyway. Aliens are not kittens or puppies. If you get bit by them, even the corresponding vaccine won't work. The consequences are probably more serious than rabies."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Mingyao felt a murderous aura, his hair stood on end, and he almost instantly locked onto the source of danger.
Under Claude's deathly gaze, Xu Mingyao stumbled and changed his words, "Uh... I suddenly felt that it seemed... to have a really good temper. Sorry, I was abrupt."
Yu An shook his head seriously, "I find that what you said makes some sense..."
Xu Mingyao: "No, I'm just making it up."
Yu An didn't argue with him, but was still thoughtful.
That night, Claude was about to fall asleep while lying on Yu An's pillow when Yu An suddenly turned over and stared at Claude with great vigilance. "Do I really need a rabies shot after being bitten by you?"
Claude: [……]
[No, you and I are the same kind...] Yu An turned over again, lying flat on his back looking at the ceiling, [Then if you bite an ordinary human, or if I bite an ordinary human, will they get rabies?]
This is a question worth pondering.
Yu An thought about it for a long time but couldn't get an answer. When he asked Claude, he only got a helpless expression. Qiao Xuer and Solander's IQ were there, so asking them would not yield any results.
There was no way, Yu An could only fall asleep with doubts.
The next morning, Xiaobai's sleep time ended, and Yu An opened his eyes and asked Xiaobai to send a message to the most knowledgeable Wen Xun.
So, Wen Xun, who was exhausted by various tasks early in the morning, received a world problem from his son.
"Dad, if I bite someone, will the person I bite get rabies? If they do get rabies, is the one I bite more serious or the one Monday bite more serious?"
Wen Xun: “…”
He looked at Monday, who was wagging his tail at his feet, and sent a message to Yu An with a tired heart, "First of all, Monday doesn't have rabies. Secondly, if you're tired of studying, take a break, or let Dr. Rong give you a psychological examination."
Well... the mental state of senior high school students approaching the college entrance examination is really worrying.
In fact, Yu An was not too nervous. As the college entrance examination approached, the atmosphere in the class became more and more tense. From the gossip shared by Wan Cen, Yu An knew that several classmates attended classes during the day and saw a psychologist at night.
Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen often took advantage of their free time in the afternoon to visit Yu An and observe his mental state. They also brought a professional psychology teacher with them.
After meeting Yu An, the psychology teacher told them, "Please rest assured, this child is mentally healthy and has no tendency to collapse under high pressure."
Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen relaxed at the same time.
Nanshan
tone.
"It's just that..." The psychology teacher frowned and gently reminded, "Appropriate pressure and tension can also have a certain promoting effect..."
She had seen people like Yu An in those who were always ready to become monks. He was so calm, as if he had experienced something a hundred times more terrifying than the college entrance examination.
The psychology teacher told Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen about his concerns, "Has the child experienced anything before?"
Lin Huaichen: "Uh... does it count if I've seen a lot of big scenes?"
For example, when the research institute sent an army to capture the aliens, and various thermal weapons exploded overhead, Yu An was watching nearby.
Or, when several powerful top leaders were arguing in the conference room about the latest proposal, Yu Anan squatted quietly beside Wen Xun and watched the fight.
The psychologist paused, then smiled and said, "...That shows the child is mentally strong and mentally stable. You two are very good at educating children."
Wen Xun: “…”
Lin Huaichen laughed dryly: "Hahahaha... forced by the environment, purely forced by the environment."
Just as the psychology teacher said, Yu An was quite stable, so stable that he almost overslept on the day of the college entrance examination.
Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen did not go to work that day and specially sent him to the examination room. Outside the examination room were all anxious students and parents who were feeling nervous.
Lin Huaichen was so anxious that he was spinning around. He told Yu An, "Don't be nervous. Just keep a normal attitude. Don't forget to fill in the answer sheet. Read the questions carefully... Oh my god, I wasn't as nervous as I am now during the college entrance examination."
Lin Huaichen was so nervous that he drank two bottles of water. If you didn't know him, you would think he was going to enter the examination room.
Yu An held a bottle of spring water in his hand and comforted him, "I know, Dad, don't be nervous. Do you want some water?"
Lin Huaichen: "...Give me another sip."
Wen Xun: “…”
He took a deep breath and pushed Lin Huaichen aside, "Come over here when you're calm."
Lin Huaichen said aggrievedly: "...I understand."
The examination hall had not yet reached its designated time, and no examinees were allowed to enter. The school was surrounded by patrolling armed police. Yu An sorted out his relevant documents when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder. He turned around and saw several familiar figures.
"Brother Yun Shu! Brother Zhou Xia! Why are you here?" Yu An looked at his childhood friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time with surprise. Even Liang Xingsang, Ji Yunyan and Wu Yao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, were there.
Zhou Xia was much calmer than he was a few years ago, with a smile in his eyes, "Today is your college entrance examination, we came to see you."
Yu An was deeply moved and hugged them one by one. Ji Yunyan, the only one among his friends who had religious beliefs, gave Yu An a bracelet he had obtained from the Manjusri Bodhisattva Temple and put it on his hand. "My grandma asked for this for you. Good luck on the college entrance examination."
"Thank you." Yu An suddenly remembered, "But I remember Grandma Ji believed in Jesus."
Ji Yunyan shrugged, "Jesus doesn't care about our country's college entrance examination. You can also want a cross."
He then handed over a cross necklace.
Yu An laughed, "No need, at this moment I still believe in Manjusri Bodhisattva more."
Ji Yunyan: "Okay, if it doesn't work, try another one."
At all times, Ji Yunyan's beliefs were very flexible, to the point that other devout believers would beat him up if they saw him.
Gu Yixing also embraced Yu An and nuzzled his face affectionately. "It's such an important day. Aren't you nervous? Are you scared? Come to think of it, An An, you're the only one among us taking the college entrance exam!"
Yu An smiled and said, "Actually, you can also participate, as long as you apply."
Students at Xinqi College are free to choose whether or not to take the college entrance examination, but the vast majority refuse. Who would want to take the college entrance examination when they can go directly to university?
Gu Yixing laughed heartily. "I'd better forget it. Otherwise, the test score will make my old man so angry that he will fall over."
Today is not a holiday for Xinqi College, so Gu and his group took a special leave to come and cheer up Yu An. Yu An chatted and laughed with them, and soon it was time to enter the examination room.
"Then I'll go in first."
When the bell rang, Yu An waved to his father and friends, and followed the group to school.
Suddenly, Wen Xun had an idea and pulled Yu An out of the crowd. He searched several pockets on his body and found three Usatos and a mechanical bird.
Claude looked at Wen Xun dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing?"
Qiao Xiuer: "That's right, I want to follow An An!"
Solander: "The little cub needs someone to protect him."
Yu An then realized their presence and hurriedly comforted them, "Wait outside first. I'm going in to take a test and can't take you with me. Don't worry, I'll be out soon."
"You go in first." Wen Xun said to Yu An, and threw all three of them into the bag, "Behave yourself."
Yu An waved to the four little guys reluctantly and walked into the examination room alone. The examination lasted nearly two hours, so Gu Yixing and the others started a game directly.
When they thought about Yu An struggling to finish the test in the examination room while they were happily playing games outside, they laughed heartily with glee.
Suddenly, Fu Yunshu said, "Have you finished your analysis of the origin of the alien species?"
Several people paused at the same time, and the smile on Gu Yixing's face gradually disappeared. "Who of you brought paper and pen?"
Others: “…”
Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun were sitting on the small flower bed chatting when suddenly a figure appeared in front of them. Wen Xun looked up and asked, "Zhou Xia, what's wrong?"
Zhou Xia felt uneasy. Behind him were several friends who were trying to cheer him up but were hiding far away. He took a deep breath and asked shyly, "Uncle, do you have paper and pen? We haven't finished our homework yet..."
Lin Huaichen: "...I think there should be one in my car."
Gu Yihang immediately became excited. "There are seven of us. Do you have seven pens and seven sheets of paper?"
Lin Huaichen: "...Do you think I run a bookstore here?"
There was no other way, Lin Huaichen could only "abandon" Yu An temporarily and drive to a nearby bookstore to buy paper and pens for these troublesome children. He gave one to each of them as if he was awarding certificates, and received seven sentences of thanks and seven bows.
Lin Huaichen waved his hand tiredly, "Go do your homework."
A few people gathered together to discuss, and finally Gu Yihang smiled shyly, "Uncle, maybe I need your car again."
Lin Huaichen threw the car keys to them and said, "Use them by yourselves and don't call me."
Gu Yixing: "No, no, no, no key."
Lin Huaichen: “……?”
So what were they going to do with his car?
A few minutes later, outside the solemn and dignified college entrance examination hall, several handsome guys who looked like high school students were leaning on the front of a Cayenne and writing furiously, with an expressionless Lin Huaichen standing beside them.
The parents of the students around him cast puzzled glances at him from time to time. Seeing reporters coming here, Wen Xun immediately pulled Lin Huaichen to hide over here, and used actions to distance himself from the others.
