“Really?”
“…”
Alright, I’ll meet you at the entrance of street at 9pm later to do a little test verbally, in the meantime, go back and revise it again . ”
“You only let me leave that late last night, then droned on for an hour about some nonsense . Immediately after you made me read this rubbish and tell me 9am in the morning that I need to wait for you at 9pm at night at the entrance of the street . ”
The sudden sentence Xuan Mo sent that had no other punctuation besides full-stops and commas had Ah Gui strangely anxious . His fingers rubbed the keyboard for a long time before replying: “Ahaha . ”
“Wonderful . ” Xuan Mo’s status dimmed .
Ah Gui stared hard at his screen, as though in an attempt to drill a hole through the words she sent with his gaze .
What da hell did she mean! How would he know that she could memorise things so easily . That thick of a document wasn’t something a normal person can memorise in such a short time okay?
He felt extremely wronged . After not seeing her reply for a long time, Ah Gui switched his monitor off as well .
Out of boredom, Xuan Mo surfed the net in the afternoon, and took some time to use her mental feelers to come into contact with the world of internet in an attempt to figure some sort of pattern out .
Suddenly, Yi Hai Lan called: “Xuan Mo! Are you feeling better?!”
It was very noisy on his end . Sports day was evidently still happening .
“I heard you took a sick leave, what are you down with? It’s a little cold these days, are you down with a cold? You’ve never given much thought to keeping warm… you should wear more, I’ll still know you have a good figure even if you wrap yourself into a dumpling . ”
“…”
“I got second for the hundred-metre segment, but first in the four hundred-metre one!”
“…”
“Pity you’re not here, we didn’t do well for the female races . ” He said on the other end, “Don’t take it wrongly, I’m not saying it’s your fault . ”
Xuan Mo sighed: “I’m recuperating at home . ”
“Ah? Recuperating? Is it very serious? You took an entire week off, do you need me to come visit you?”
“No . ”
“I’m worried, what are you sick from?”
“No . ” She didn’t know . How would she know what reason Ah Gui took leave for her with .
“Is it some strange disease? Or… ahhh, Mo Mo, are you in your first stage or the later stages?”
What was he saying, first or later stages… There were a lot of words that popped up in her head with his mention of first and later stages, but she didn’t understand which he was referring to .
Yi Hai Lan once again delved into his magnificent extrapolation of his imagination: “Mo Mo don’t worry! My mom’s a doctor, she’ll know! Where does it hurt, I’ll help you ask her?!”
Xuan Mo finally understood why Blue Planet beings found it so easy to lie . It’s because the loopholes to their lies were filled up by the imagination of others! What an irresponsible bunch!
Beep beep beep beep .
Yi Hai Lan looked at his call that got hung up from the other end, frowning .
9pm at night, Xuan Mo went out for a walk . The test was only a little interlude to her walk, in fact, she found filling herself with information from around the world a lot more interesting .
Her parents usually returned home late since both their children would not be in . It was only shortly after Xuan Mo returned did her step-father return with her mother . When they saw her, they paused: “Mo Mo, what are you pestling about, not resting upstairs?”
Xuan Mo raised her brow, a little curious about what Ah Gui told her mother .
“I got the scare of my life when the infirmary called earlier . Thank goodness it’s just anaemia . Though Teacher Zhou’s a little upset about the one-week leave for anaemia, you better rest up . I trust you!”
“You decided the one-week duration?”
“Yes, the doctor from the infirmary suggested one week as well . ”
Xuan Mo nodded before turning to head upstairs . Doctor from the infirmary? Very good!
Two days after, Yi Hai Lan gave her a call in enthusiasm . The students from Akino Satoshi Academy from Japan will be coming to their school for exchange . The school was currently gathering students that would be interested to be the principal’s assistants in receiving the guests, so Yi Hai Lan called to ask if she would be interested in joining .
He’s probably just looking for opportunities to talk to her . Anyone with a head would know that Xuan Mo wasn’t the kind to be interested in something like this .
However, he didn’t expect Xuan Mo’s light reply: “Oh, help me sign up while you’re at it . ”
“Hah?” Yi Hai Lan almost thought he’d heard wrongly . It was only after Xuan Mo repeated herself did he react, “You, you you, really are gonna participate?”
“Enh… I can’t?”
“You can! Of course you can! I’ll help you sign up!” Yi Hai Lan was very emotional, “everyone in class has signed up, you’re the only one left . ”
“Anything else?”
“Eh, no…” Yi Hai Lan paused, before saying, “Xuan Mo, uh…”
“What?”
“Forget it, we’ll talk when you’re here . ”
“Alight, goodbye then . ”
Not long after she hung up, Ah Gui’s call came in: “Wu Qi, you should start preparing . Your school has started selecting… huh, someone has already helped you sign up? That’s fast, I’m at ease then . Return to school tomorrow if you can then . ”
“…what about my English lessons?”
“You’re demanding that so soon… you’re not done learning computing . ”
“I don’t want to learn it any more . ” Xuan Mo was firm . “You guys aren’t particularly good . ”
“!!!!!” Ah Gui on the other side was enraged . He figured that since he was asking her to do something, so he could only hold himself back, “we don’t have a teacher for English!”
“I’m hanging up . ”
“!!!”
Beep beep beep beep…
That gal! She’s already found a way to sit on his head! How much worse would it get in the future!? Ah Gui’s howl resonated throughout the office .
