After being chased by the male protagonist in Chapter 17, I passed the civil service exam.
Xu Zhixia carried the flowers and entered the house.
He was humming a song and had a smile on his face, looking like he was in a good mood.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu exchanged a glance and coughed softly twice: "Ahem~"
Xu Zhixia then noticed them sitting on the sofa: "Mom and Dad, have you eaten?"
"We can just grab something to eat since you're not home." Mr. Xu looked at the flowers in her arms: "These flowers?"
Xu Zhixia touched her hair: "It was a gift from a friend. Um... I'll go back to my room now."
"Wait a minute." Xu's mother put down her water glass. "What are you afraid of? You're over twenty years old. We won't say anything if you're dating someone."
"Did Xiao Ji bring you back? Why didn't you let him come up and sit down?"
Xu Zhixia chuckled and sat down next to her mother, holding the flowers. "He said his status is different now, so he can't be so casual. He'll come to visit again next time."
Mrs. Xu nodded, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
No one taught him these things, yet he still understands these social etiquettes.
"Invite him over for dinner when you have time."
Xu Zhixia nodded: "He was fired from his company today and he has an exam coming up soon. I'm going to let him focus on the exam for now."
"Let's get down to business first." Mr. Xu nodded, his gaze falling on the flowers: "These flowers are nice, but they're not quite as good as the ones I gave your mother."
Xu's mother rolled her eyes.
Xu Zhixia smiled and rested her head on her mother's shoulder: "Mom, I feel so happy~"
"You child, be more reserved."

Outside the car window, the rain fell like a waterfall.
Dense raindrops pounded against the car window.
As soon as Ji Huaizhi's car entered the elevated road, it started raining heavily. Soft music was playing in the car, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, seemingly in a good mood.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared.
I glanced at the rearview mirror and saw several black cars following behind me.
Ji Huaizhi's lips turned down, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
With both hands skillfully maneuvering the steering wheel, he slammed on the accelerator.
The car body, like a black lightning bolt, cleaved through the night and sped off against the wind and rain.
The sharp, piercing sound of wheels rubbing against the ground dissipated in the sound of rain.
The car behind, seeing that he had spotted them, gripped the steering wheel tightly and gave chase. His gaze was fixed on the vehicles ahead, his face filled with ruthlessness.
"He's spotted you, follow him!"
Ji Huaizhi's eyes were cold and resolute. With each sharp turn, his car almost brushed past the vehicles next to him.
The surrounding vehicles were so frightened that they honked their horns in protest.
The engine and the roar mingled together.
They sped along, their headlights flashing.
Several cars in the rearview mirror were in hot pursuit, constantly changing formations in an attempt to surround him and force Ji Huaizhi to stop.
Ji Huaizhi sensed their intentions and, without slowing down at all at a bend, drifted straight through the bend, the tires rubbing against the ground, seemingly creating a burst of sparks.
The cars behind followed suit, but one of them lost control and skidded on the curve due to excessive speed.
It crashed directly into the roadside guardrail.
With a loud bang, a loud noise was heard.
Then came several screech of brakes and several loud crashes, as if another car had crashed behind them.
[System, were there any other pedestrians' cars involved in the accident behind us?]
No, they were all the male lead's men. One car crashed into the guardrail, and two cars rear-ended each other. There were also two cars following behind you.
Ji Huaizhi glanced at the rearview mirror and, sure enough, there were two more cars behind him.
The lights flashed, and then the system spoke again:
[Host, there's a complex interchange ramp ahead.]
Guided by the system, Ji Huaizhi drove directly onto the ramp.
The ramp had many sharp curves, but Ji Huaizhi's car navigated them with ease.
The two cars behind them didn't expect Ji Huaizhi to drive onto the ramp. After following him in, they were thrown into disarray and their speed slowed down significantly.
After distancing himself from them, Ji Huaizhi glanced back, his slightly narrowed eyes revealing a smile.
It seemed to be mocking their overestimation of their abilities.
The vehicles behind watched as his car disappeared into the increasingly heavy rain.
The passenger cursed and immediately pulled out his phone to make a call: "Boss, we lost them and lost three cars."
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a sharp screech of brakes came from behind, and the driver next to him gripped the steering wheel tightly in alarm.
The man holding the phone looked back and realized that the car behind him had skidded and overturned.
"No, there are four."
After hearing the news, Gu Moyuan cursed him as a good-for-nothing.
He stood up and punched the bodyguard: "What am I keeping you guys for?"
"How could you lose track of someone?"
Gu Moyuan tugged at his shirt collar and walked out of the villa: "Let's go."
Ji Huaizhi's car drove into the underground parking lot.
He grabbed his coat, got out of the car, and locked the door. The only sound in the empty, dimly lit parking lot was Ji Huaizhi's abrupt footsteps.
"Da-da-da".
Suddenly stopping, Ji Huaizhi stared ahead.
Gu Moyuan, accompanied by a group of bodyguards, got out of several cars nearby and looked at him coldly.
"Assistant Ji, this is the first time I've known you were such a good driver." Gu Moyuan took two steps forward.
Two buttons were undone on his shirt under his suit, and his hair was pulled back.
The way he looked at Ji Huaizhi seemed to ignite the air.
The surrounding air dropped to freezing point.
Ji Huaizhi chuckled, tossed aside his coat, and loosened his cuffs: "Actually, there are many things you don't know."
"Really? Then I still don't know you very well."
"But you know me, you've done so much for me, look at what happened to those who offended me." Gu Moyuan shrugged.
"Who gave you the audacity to defy me? And even steal my woman?"
"Um?"
Ji Huaizhi took off his glasses slowly and deliberately, revealing cold and ruthless eyes that exuded an undeniable sense of oppression.
Gu Moyuan looked at him and smiled.
"I'd like to see just how tough your bones are."
