Chapter 63
After Yu An came out of the examination room, he strangely discovered that Gu Yixing and the others seemed to want to take the college entrance examination more than he did, especially Gu Yixing and Wu Yao, who were the least good at studying. They basically had dull eyes and looked like they were devastated by knowledge.
Yu An first took the three little Usatos from Wen Xun. Except for Claude who was in high spirits, Solander and Qiao Xueer were both depressed.
Qiao Xiuer's little tentacles wrapped around Yu An's fingers and complained to him, "They took Xiaobai away. We have no games to play. It's so boring."
Yu An looked around, but he didn't see Xiaobai. [Who took Xiaobai away?]
Qiao Xiuer was furious, and pointed his little tentacles at Gu Yihang and his group, "That's them."
Originally, they just wanted to borrow it for a while, but Xiaobai hasn't been returned yet. Qiao Xuer and Solander haven't played games for a whole hour!
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Seeing Yu An coming out of the examination room, Fu Yunshu and the others first asked Yu An how he did in the exam. Yu An said it was okay, and then Gu Ersheng took Xiaobai out.
Gu Ersheng: "Sorry, it's out of power."
Yu An was surprised, "No power?"
Xiaobai actually ran out of power?! This was the first time he knew this.
"You...what did you do to Xiaobai?" Yu An took Xiaobai in his hands and looked at it repeatedly. "How could it be out of power?"
Gu Yihang smiled awkwardly. "Well, we were writing a paper and used Xiaobai to look up some information. To be honest, An'an, Xiaobai's database is really huge. We can find a lot of information that our library doesn't have."
He asked with starry eyes: "Where did you buy Xiaobai?"
Yu An: "My father did it."
Gu Yixing was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Wen Xun. Wen Xun glanced at him with cold and distant eyes.
The pressure from the class teacher made Gu Yixing dare not act presumptuously in front of Wen Xun, and he decisively gave up Xiaobai, the high-tech that belonged exclusively to Yu An.
Alas, I really can’t afford it.
Every day after that, Gu Yihang and the others came to accompany Yu An. Of course, in order to get a free look at Xiaobai's database, they also prepared a small stool for each of them. After Yu An entered the examination room to take the exam, they sat on the small stools and did their homework.
Thanks to Xiaobai's powerful functions, their homework efficiency has been greatly improved. They work hard to do their homework every day and seem to work harder than the candidates in the college entrance examination hall.
The parents of the students who were watching went from being surprised at first to becoming accustomed to it. Some even asked them directly, "Do you regret your decision now?"
Gu Yixing was bewildered, "What are you regretting?"
This parent said with conviction, "I regret dropping out of school. Everyone said you were a high school dropout. Now you've repented and are specially here to experience the Gaokao outside the examination hall."
"Alas, if you make mistakes when you are young and ignorant, you will have to make amends for it for the rest of your life. Your parents really don't care about your situation. Why didn't they stop you in the beginning? How are you going to survive in society in the future?"
Gu and his group: "..."
Where on earth did this rumor come from?!
The three days of the college entrance examination passed in a flash. Except for the fact that the reputation of Gu Yihang and his group of bad boys who had come to their senses became more and more famous, everything else went smoothly.
After finishing the last exam, Yu An walked out of the examination room with a sense of relief, his whole body filled with joy.
He hugged his family and friends one by one, exclaiming joyfully, "I've finished my studies, I'm on vacation, and I don't have to go to morning and evening self-study classes anymore!"
Wen Xun couldn't help laughing, "Well, congratulations."
Lin Huaichen: "What are your plans for the holidays? Do you want to learn to drive? After you learn, I'll give you a sports car, and then you can go wherever you want."
Yu An immediately received countless envious glances.
There was a student following closely behind him who also acted coquettishly with his parents, "Dad, I want a sports car too."
The parent's tone was grim. "We don't have sports cars, but we have everything you need. How many do you want? If you have more, we can give you a discount."
Candidate: “…Woo woo woo.”
Yu An was also amused by the funny conversation between the father and son behind him. He had already made plans for the holiday and shook his head, "I don't want to study now. I want to go out and travel this month."
After saying that, he turned to his friends and asked expectantly, "Are you going?"
Zhou Xia was embarrassed, "I'm sorry, An An, but we don't have summer vacation, so we can't go with you."
Yu An was shocked, "You don't have summer vacation?!"
Gu Yixing felt hopeless. "Yeah, during the summer vacation, we were asked to join the Judgment Corps of the Institute and go to various places to eradicate alien species. We can't go out and play. Oh, I really regret going to this damn school."
Yu An was also very sure of his original decision, otherwise he would have lost his vacation and would have cried bitterly with Gu Yixing today, but fortunately, his vacation was saved.
…
Two months later.
The scorching heat made the road surface as hot as an oven, but the bustling streets of City A were still crowded with people. Outside the train station, a simple young man was dragging a huge suitcase, looking blankly at various places in the bustling city, with a somewhat cramped expression.
He had just taken a step when he was bumped by a passerby. The person immediately said sorry, and the boy hurriedly said it was okay.
"Um..." Li Xi, who had just arrived, asked embarrassedly, "Do you know how to get to Xinqi College? This is my first time in City A and I can't find the way..."
The pedestrian said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm not from here either, so I don't know the school you're talking about."
Li Xi couldn't help feeling disappointed. "Thank you, sorry for bothering you."
Watching the pedestrians leave, Li Xi stood there alone and at a loss like an abandoned puppy. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of two figures walking slowly towards him.
It's nothing else, it's just that these two people have outstanding temperament and they both have a pair of unique lake blue eyes.
The younger boy had a delicate appearance and a pair of rare lake blue eyes, which were round and blunt, making people feel favorable at first sight. He was talking to the young man holding an umbrella with his head tilted up. The young man listened to him attentively and sometimes said a few words. There was an atmosphere between the two of them that no one else could interfere with.
Yu An asked Claude: "Brother Qiao Xiuer and Brother Solander have been on a mission for a week. When will they be back?"
Claude: "There are too many ants scurrying around in City C. It will probably take two or three days for them to return."
"I heard from Dad that Brother Xingcheng also went to support."
Claude knew Yu An's concerns and said, "Don't worry, the fight hasn't started yet."
Yu An listened to his serious explanation and suppressed a smile, saying, "That's good. If a fight breaks out, you have to stop it."
Claude sighed: "If they start fighting, my phone will be blown up by the old men."
There has always been something wrong between Qiao Xiuer and Ling Xingcheng. Basically, they would start fighting whenever they met. Unfortunately, both of them were at the ceiling of their fighting ability. The only people who could successfully stop the fight without getting hurt accidentally were Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun, but no one dared to go find them. After Claude showed up, the task of stopping the fight was basically left to him.
Once Qiao Xuer and Ling Xingcheng start fighting, a series of life-threatening calls from the institute's top management will fall on Claude. It will be useless to turn off the phone. The Lin family is only a few steps away from the institute. The old men will pull Claude to mediate even with their crutches. Lin Huaichen will also watch the fun and not mind making trouble.
Thinking of his father, Yu An rubbed his brows and said, "Claude, you should move out after I go to school. I will find a house for you."
Claude: "...You don't want me to live with you anymore?"
"No, don't think too much." Yu An hurriedly explained, "It's just... you know my father doesn't like you, right? After I go to school, he will definitely make things difficult for you at home. It would be so pitiful if no one helped you."
"Why don't I find you a house outside? You can live there and I'll come visit you when I have time..."
Wait... why do these words sound weird and familiar?
Yu An stopped in time with a strange look on his face. If he remembered correctly, in those melodramatic TV dramas that his aunt watched, the ruthless man would say the same thing to the mistress he kept outside.
Yu An glanced at Claude's face and said hurriedly, "If you feel that home is better, you can stay home."
Claude: "No, I..."
"Hello."
Li Xi mustered up the courage to stop them, bowed, and blushed. "Um... do you know how to get to Xinqi Academy?"
Yu An was surprised for a moment. He came out with Claude today to buy daily necessities for school, but he didn't expect to meet someone who was going to Xinqi College.
Yu An glanced at Li Xi's suitcase and asked, "Are you a student at Xinqi College?"
Perhaps it was because Yu An looked too harmless and good-looking that Li Xi was not on guard against him and had a good impression of him. "Yes, I'm a freshman and I'm here to register today, but this is my first time here and I don't know how to get there..."
His voice trailed off, and he felt ashamed of himself.
"I know where it is. I'll teach you." Yu An smiled, pointed to the nearest subway station, and told him, "Take Line 2, then transfer to Line 7. The last stop on Line 7 is Xinqi College."
Li Xi's face turned red, "Take... take the subway, I don't know how..."
His hometown is very remote and there is no subway at all.
Yu An hadn't expected this to happen. He looked at Li Xi, who was so anxious that he almost wanted to burrow into the ground. He hesitated for a few seconds and said, "How about you wait here for a while? I'll go buy some things and then go to Xinqi College with you."
Li Xi panicked, "No, no, this is too much trouble for you."
"It's okay. My friends are also at Xinqi College. I'm going to drop off something for them."
Gu Yihang and his friends had been complaining to Yu An about the bad food at Xinqi Academy for a long time. Yu An would bring some snacks to feed them from time to time. He took this opportunity to improve the food for his friends.
Leaving Li Xi waiting there, Yu An took Claude to a nearby shopping mall to buy things. The air conditioning in the mall diluted the heat on their bodies.
Yu An took a deep breath and turned to look at Claude. "Do you feel the spiritual magnetic field of that new student?"
"Yeah, C-level." Krolde said calmly, "It's average. I guess I can only be in the middle class after entering the school."
Because of his overwhelming strength, Claude was given another position by the institute and went to Xinqi College to be a special training teacher. Coincidentally, he happened to be the chief special training instructor of Gu Yihang and his team.
So every time Gu Yixing complained to Yu An about how devilish and scary their new chief special training instructor was, Yu An was very embarrassed and didn't dare to tell Gu Yixing the truth.
Claude frowned, "This year, Xinqi College has enrolled a lot of students."
Yu An took a bag of chicken legs and put them in the cart, then turned to look at him in surprise, "Are you going to take care of the new students?"
"Pick the first three, don't take all of them." Claude sighed, "Human cubs are very troublesome. If you are not careful, you will beat them to death. They are too fragile and not very lovable."
"Not as lovable as you were when you were a kid."
Claude looked at Yu An. Yu An had now completely shed the childishness of his childhood. His exquisite appearance was fully revealed, stunning and eye-catching.
Yu An and Claude's eyes met in the air. Neither of them left first. They stared at each other, their eyes filled with each other's appearance.
After staring for a long time, Yu An's heartbeat quickened slightly. He looked away and said, "You've only seen me before I was eight years old. Besides, you never taught me anything."
"Because I don't know how to teach children." Claude said honestly, "The other members of the tribe said the same thing, especially after Qiao Xuer grew up. They all said that I raised Qiao Xuer in a wrong way."
The topic shifted again and the two talked about Joe Xuel. According to Claude, he didn't teach Joe Xuel anything.
When he was noisy, she would pull him out of the temple. When he was hungry, she would throw him into the food pile and stand by to guard him to prevent the stupid boy from being eaten by the food. Then... he grew up.
Yu An was listening while clearing out the snacks, and said with emotion: "It's not easy for Brother Qiao Xiuer to be so filial to you now."
If it were someone else, they would probably become enemies.
Fortunately, he was taken away by his fathers. If he had been taken away by Claude, Yu An would probably have either died or become the second Qiao Xuer.
Claude: "I don't need him to be filial. Wait... can filial piety be used in human terms like this?"
Listening to his serious words, Yu An's eyes were full of smiles, and he deliberately said: "Yes, don't question it, I am right."
Claude nodded, "Well, you're right."
Yu An's heartbeat quickened again, and he couldn't help but admit that he really liked the fact that Claude used his standards of right and wrong as the standard of behavior.
The cart was quickly filled up. After Yu An swiped his card, the shopping guide packed two large bags, which were naturally carried by Claude.
Yu An held an umbrella to block the sun for him, and imagined in his mind the expressions of Gu Yihang and the others when they found out that these snacks were brought to them by their chief instructor. It must be very interesting.
From a distance, Yu An saw Li Xi waving at him. He stopped at the subway station entrance and watched Li Xi running towards him dragging a suitcase, his forehead covered in sweat.
Yu An took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, "Wipe it off."
"Thank you, thank you." Li Xi took it with both hands, moved. Suddenly, he took out a paper and pen from his schoolbag and said, "Can you tell me your phone number? I want to repay you."
Yu An laughed, "No need, it's just a small favor."
Li Xi still wanted to insist, but Claude's impatient gaze had already turned to him. Compared with the gentle Yu An, the cold and distant Claude made Li Xi timid.
Especially when those eyes were staring at him, the huge sense of fear made him feel as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast in the mountains.
Yu An took Li Xi into the subway station and taught him how to use the subway card. Li Xi's cheeks blushed and he thanked him repeatedly.
After getting on the subway, Li Xi sighed and wanted to say something else, but he saw Yu An leaning on Claude's shoulder playing with his mobile phone, so he didn't disturb him anymore.
Yu An was looking at the exhibits information for an auction that would be held soon. He took a fancy to one of the exquisite money trees made of colored glass. It looked like a beautiful piece of waste, but Yu An liked it.
Yu An happily shared it with Claude, "Look, this is so beautiful."
Claude knew that Yu An liked shiny things like this, so he glanced at the price and said, "It's not expensive. Let's buy it later?"
"Four million, isn't that expensive?!" Yu An was shocked. "When did you become so rich?"
Claude casually took out a few cards and handed them to Yu An. "These were given by the research institute. A few other old human guys also gave me some."
Yu An checked the balances on these cards, and the countless zeros made him gasp. In fact, the money in his account was almost the same as these, but Yu An rarely used them. All the money he used on a daily basis was kept in one card, which amounted to about one million.
But Claude had no money when he came to this world not long ago. Yu An stared at him quietly, feeling as if his fellow beggars had suddenly become rich and powerful, leaving him alone to live a miserable life.
Claude became confused under Yu An's gaze, but he still remembered that Yu An wanted to buy something he liked, so he gave him all the cards and said, "Buy whatever you like, or even all of them."
This tone made Yu An laugh, "You're just like my dad."
Every time he went shopping with Lin Huaichen, Lin Huaichen would often say this, but he would return the card and say, "No, I want to save money to buy it myself, it's more meaningful this way."
Claude was puzzled, "What's the meaning?"
Don’t we all buy them with money?
"It's definitely different, like this one." Yu An took out the cat's eye necklace from around his neck. "I saved up my pocket money for a month and a half to buy it. It's different from those things I just bought. I put a lot of thought into it, so it must have a unique meaning."
Claude nodded thoughtfully and took out a card and handed it to Yu An, "This one is more in line with what you mean by meaningful. It's the first alien I killed. The old humans gave it to me."
Yu An stared blankly at the bank card in his hand and opened his mouth, but this meant nothing to him... But for some unknown reason, Yu An still accepted the card.
Perhaps at this moment, they shared this meaningful thing.
Yu An lowered his head, his heart in a mess. He stared at the card in a daze and began to reflect on whether he was too possessive of Claude.
He has always known how to maintain social distance, and all his friends are strictly divided and have corresponding close distances, so that many classmates who have been in the same class with Yu An for many years do not know the specific situation of his family.
So what kind of social distance should he maintain with Claude? Yu An fell into deep thought. Claude, like Gu Yixing and Fu Yunshu, was his friend since childhood.
But Yu An knew clearly that they were different, because he did not have such a strong possessiveness towards Fu Yunshu and the others. As Yu An thought about it, he stared at Claude's face.
Claude is undoubtedly so good-looking that he doesn't look like a real person. Every part of his facial features is perfect. You can't even see the pores on his skin if you look closely. His perfection is so great that it basically does not appear on normal humans. It even makes people feel the uncanny valley effect and feel scared.
But it unexpectedly perfectly matched Yu An's aesthetic taste. Looking at Claude, Yu An's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Yu An suddenly felt guilty and subconsciously looked away, looking left and right in the subway, deliberately ignoring Claude.
"An An?" Claude called him again, "Are you still angry with me?"
Yu An's anger had long since subsided. He simply didn't want to face Claude and shook his head perfunctorily. Suddenly, the subway arrived at a station that was a famous tourist attraction. The number of passengers increased several times in an instant, and the carriage became crowded.
"I'm hungry... so hungry."
A strange cry was heard, but the people around did not seem to notice anything unusual and were still playing with their phones with their heads down.
It only took Yu An a few seconds to find this alien creature hiding in the crowd.
This alien creature looked like a short old man, hunched over, with a heavy turtle shell on his back, and his exposed arms were covered with green scales.
Li Xi, who had been dozing off with his eyes closed, suddenly woke up and quickly looked around, but couldn't find the alien. He approached Yu An and said worriedly, "Be careful, I think there's something bad around us."
Afraid that Yu An wouldn't believe him, Li Xi immediately explained, "I'm not that kind of charlatan. Everything I say is true. If you...believe in me, I will protect you."
Seeing that he was so nervous that his face turned red, Yu An smiled and nodded, "I believe you."
Those who can enter Xinqi Academy are all people with special abilities. Yu An estimated that Li Xi should be at the D-level now, while this old turtle alien is at the C-level.
It seems that Li Xi is unreliable. Yu An nodded secretly and stared at the old turtle. Claude frowned and was about to deal with this annoying thing, but Yu An stopped him with a look.
The old turtle's dark yellow eyes glanced around greedily. He swallowed his saliva rapidly and laughed strangely, "The food... is delicious, everything is delicious. I'm starving. I need to eat my fill..."
The voice stopped abruptly when his eyes met Yu An and Claude. The old turtle's face twisted for a moment, and finally he forced out a flattering smile.
"Pa Pa... I'm an old man, don't kill me."
A transparent tentacle directly wrapped around its neck, and the strength in the old turtle's body was rapidly lost. Its face turned ashen and it whimpered twice. The next second, its body turned into powder and dissipated, leaving only a small green stone.
Yu An stroked the lines on the stone, took out a delicate small cloth bag, and casually threw the stone into it.
It seems that the number of alien species has indeed increased significantly. Including this one now, Yu An has encountered seven alien species along the way, giving him the feeling that alien species are everywhere.
After the old turtle died, Li Xi's face was filled with confusion. He scratched his head doubtfully and said embarrassedly, "Maybe there was something wrong with my senses just now. There's no danger..."
Yu An smiled and said, "It's okay."
Li Xi stopped talking in embarrassment. He had never felt anything wrong before, so why did he keep encountering problems here... Moreover, he had not seen a single alien species along the way. Wasn't it rumored that City A had the most alien species?
It seems the rumors are not credible.
