“Xia Tian, come and take a look at this!” Mei’er’s tone was anxious, as if she was struggling to get the words out.
As a young hero, I had to remain calm and not show any signs of panic.
Putting the bag containing the roast chicken on the table, I looked at Mei’er with an unusually calm expression. “What’s wrong?”
“There are two people fighting on your computer!” Mei’er’s face was as red as a tomato, making little Xia Tian very excited. Of course, it was just him being excited; I, on the other hand, stayed calm.
“Damn! What’s going on?” I shouted in mock surprise, then calmly exited my favorite video player, looking at Mei’er helplessly. “Uh, my computer must have a virus. It’s fine now.”
“Xia Tian, isn’t that what Sister Mengxin was talking about…” Mei’er’s head lowered, and she spoke in a voice as small as a mosquito, “Japan*se adu1t films…”
Damn! Lin Mengxin, what on earth have you been telling Mei’er?
“Uh…” I was speechless. How could I have forgotten that my computer had so much inappropriate content?
“Aren’t you hungry? Eat the roast chicken first.” Unable to explain, I could only change the subject. I hoped Mei’er would let me off the hook; otherwise, my righteous image would be ruined by a Japan*se adu1t film.
Mei’er, perhaps truly hungry, began devouring the roast chicken, ignoring the “fighting” she had seen on the computer. Her little mouth was shiny with grease, and her delicate white hands were also slick with oil, making me swallow hard. Of course, I was just hungry.
“Xia Tian, why are you staring at Mei’er?” Mei’er paused, looking at me with confusion.
Scratching my head, I laughed. “Oh, it’s because my Mei’er is so beautiful. Not looking at you enough would leave me feeling regretful for a long time!”
“Humph! You bad guy!” Mei’er blushed and lowered her head, continuing to eat the roast chicken.
I initially planned to take a few bites of Mei’er myself, but this little girl turned into a necklace and dodged me. No matter what sweet words I said, she wouldn’t come out. It seemed that Mei’er, now skilled in mind reading, wasn’t as easy to bully as before.
I also wanted to ask Mei’er about my current cultivation level. After all, novels always had stages like Foundation Establishment, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transformation. Damn! Why was I thinking of such superstitions again?
With everything done, I felt a bit aimless, even starting to miss school life. Although my days there were mostly spent sleeping in class or playing with my phone, I had Zhang Yu and Fatty around to chat with. Now, being alone felt uncomfortable.
After some thought, I decided to contact Qin Shousheng. Staying home all day would surely make Sister Lin suspicious, asking all sorts of questions. I didn’t want to hear her bizarre analyses again.
I picked up my phone and found Qin Shousheng’s number in my contacts, dialing it.
“Xia Tian, what’s up?” Qin Shousheng answered after a few rings.
“Mr. Qin, can we discuss something?” I tried to sound calm, but hearing Qin Shousheng’s voice reminded me of the police officers’ reactions when they got his call. Someone who casually signed a million-yuan contract with a high school student like me couldn’t be simple. I also wondered what kind of person I was supposed to protect.
Qin Shousheng chuckled. “What do you need?”
“Can we move up the training plan?” I asked tentatively, as the original plan was for summer vacation. I wasn’t sure if Qin Shousheng was ready for the sudden change.
Qin Shousheng didn’t answer directly but asked, “Xia Tian, you’re a senior, right? Shouldn’t you be preparing for the college entrance exams? Do you have time?”
Taking a deep breath, I replied with some embarrassment, “I got expelled from school. I don’t even have the chance to attend classes, let alone take the exams.” My face flushed with shame after saying this. How could I be so shameless to talk about getting expelled?
“Expelled? What happened?” Qin Shousheng’s tone changed, though I couldn’t see his expression over the phone.
Stammering, I explained the situation. To my surprise, Qin Shousheng laughed. “Good job, kid! Just like I used to be!”
Damn! Why do older people love saying that? Do they need my stories to highlight their wild youth?
“There’s no need to move up the training. Just stay in school. Even if you don’t do well on the exams, you’ll still get into Sheng*hua, but you need to go through the motions,” Qin Shousheng said lightly.
I was about to argue when I remembered he mentioned “Shen*ghua.”
Holy cow! Isn’t that the top university in Ch!na?
Shenghua University, established only twenty years ago, had surpassed Ts!nghua and Pek!ng University to become the top university in Ch!na, ranking among the top ten globally. It had the strongest faculty in the country and a saying, “All outstanding talents come from Shenghua.” Most importantly, its admission score was uniform nationwide, without regional discrimination.
Sheng*hua was a private institution, and it was rumored that its four major shareholders were the four great families of the capital. More on them later.
“Mr. Qin, did you mean Sheng*hua University in the capital?” Still in disbelief, I asked. Winning a million yuan was like a pie falling from the sky, but now there was an even bigger pie.
Qin Shousheng chuckled, seemingly expecting my reaction. “Yes, but that’s not for you to worry about now. I’ll handle your expulsion. Just pack up and head back to school.”
Hearing Qin Shousheng’s confident tone, it seemed getting me back into school wasn’t difficult. Though doubtful, I didn’t question him. I agreed and hung up.
With nothing to do again, I planned to return to school but realized Qin Shousheng’s efficiency might not be that quick. So, I turned on my computer to play some games.
Lea*gue of Legends, it had been a while. I created a new account to crush some newbies!
As a stylish and charming person like me, Xia Tian, I needed a catchy ID. With a flourish, I typed a name—Mastery Before Honor!
Damn! Already taken. Another try—Egg Under Siege!
Someone else had that too!
Last try! Solo All Three Lanes!
Can I use ellipses to express my feelings now?
Suddenly, my phone rang. Annoyed, I answered, “Who is it?”
“Is this Young Master Xia? I… I’m Wang Tong…” It was a middle-aged voice, sounding nervous.
“I don’t care if you’re Netcom or Telecom. I don’t know you!” I was about to hang up when it hit me. Wang Tong? Isn’t that the name of the dean?
