My Life with Narration

Chapter 69: The Soul of a Bootlicker Awakens


"Daughter, how did the exam go?"

In the car, the family of four along with Big Yellow was on their way back since the next exams wouldn't start until 3 PM, so they naturally wouldn't stay there.

As soon as they got in the car, Zhou Hui couldn't wait to ask.

"Mom, don't worry. The first subject is Chinese, and as long as one's brain is functioning properly, the score will be over 100. Back then, even with my level of study, I still got 110, so no need to worry," Su Qing reassured while eating ice cream in the front seat.

Although it was Su He taking the college entrance exam, the most nervous person in the family was Zhou Hui, the mom.

Besides, it's just the college entrance exam. Honestly, it's not a big deal. He wasn't nervous at all back then, and after the exam, he went straight to an internet cafe and stayed for two nights.

The most annoying thing after exams is listening to sighs, which can't change the result and just frustrates others, affecting future performance.

To this, Old Su, who was driving, fully agreed and chimed in, "Exactly, dear, just don't ask. Our daughter will be fine as long as she performs normally, no pressure."

Hearing her son and husband say this, Zhou Hui sheepishly said, "I'm just curious," then turned to Su He and smiled, "Alright, Mom won't ask. What do you want to eat later? Let your dad take us out, then go home to nap, and work hard again in the afternoon."

Big Yellow: "Woof woof... whimper~~~"

Right after two woofs, Big Yellow's bark turned into a sharp whimper because Zhou Hui smacked it on the head, angrily saying, "Forgotten already, huh? Bark again?"

For this woman that even dogs feared, Big Yellow whimpered miserably twice, then bowed its head pitifully and dared not act up.

Seeing this, Su He couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at her family all caring about her college entrance exam. It felt pretty good; at least it was a somewhat normal family atmosphere.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm not nervous. The exam went pretty well. Let's not eat outside, just have something simple at home. After the exams tomorrow afternoon, we can celebrate with a nice meal."

Just as she finished speaking, a voice-over echoed in Su Qing's mind

[The pretentious sister performed normally, with a Chinese score of 132]

Hearing this, Su Qing's face remained expressionless, but he felt relieved inside. A score of 132 wasn't low, but it's common knowledge that everyone's Chinese score wouldn't be low.

But what can be done even if you know it? A decade ago, perhaps it would have mattered, because back then, people filled out their college applications without knowing their scores. Now... it's about knowing the results in advance.

The four of them went home, had a simple lunch, and the mom pushed Su He to her room to rest. As for the afternoon exam, Su Qing didn't go with her since there was still another day left.

And he wasn't exactly an unemployed person, naturally, he went home, especially since his landlord had sent word that he wouldn't be able to stay here much longer, so he had to prepare.

Sitting in front of his computer, he imported the material stored on his phone into the computer, for editing, writing scripts, stocks, and a lot of other things waiting for him to handle.

Before he knew it, it was already past six in the afternoon. During this period, he received the news that Su He had finished the first day of exams, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

'Knock knock'

At this time, the doors to the living room were knocked, and Su Qing quickly got up to open the door.

"Damn, such nice weather turned to rain just like that, really freaky!" Wang Xing said as he brushed the rainwater off himself.

"It's the college entrance exam; it rains every year. It's a long-standing tradition," Su Qing laughed, not at all surprised by Wang Xing's arrival.

That's right, when he was returning home, he had messaged Wang Xing, asking how his work was going. After all, his landlord had already informed him, and it was just a matter of days, so he had to give them an answer. So, he had invited him over to discuss it.

"Today's the college entrance exam?" Wang Xing asked with slight surprise, then after calculating the dates, he couldn't help but sigh, "It really is. No wonder it rains so strangely."

If there is one consistent thing in the country, it's that it rains during the college entrance exam. For so many years, no matter how hot the weather gets, Jiang City will certainly see rain during the college entrance exam, almost without exception.

"Damn, our sister's taking the college entrance exam today, and you didn't call me? That's not cool."

Hearing this, Su Qing treated it as if Wang Xing had said something insignificant, "Really, your sister's taking the exam, and as her brother, you're not gonna do something? I bought her an iPhone, you could get her a matching tablet, or we could split the cost of the phone, and consider it from both of us. What do you think?"

"Um... never mind, this sister seems a bit costly. Better you handle it yourself," Wang Xing immediately changed his tune, no longer calling her 'our sister.'

"What a jerk," Su Qing spat and then said, "How's your work going? I might have to find a new place to live."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xing reacted, then said seriously, "Oh right, you said this apartment is being sold?"

Su Qing nodded and explained about receiving the landlord's call this morning, indicating that he might need to move in a few days.

"Really? Your landlord can't be your rich older sister in disguise, right? Is there such a good thing? Switching places, no rent increase, even a villa is acceptable?" After hearing this, Wang Xing immediately expressed his doubts.

It's understandable that Wang Xing would think this way, because normally, a considerate landlord would at least return the deposit in full, and might even deduct from it for so-called damages, which is common practice.

Offering to cover moving costs and providing a new place, this is really a first, or rather, unheard of.

Sometimes the intuition of a bootlicker is spot-on, though he didn't guess it exactly, at least his hunch is in the right direction.

"Get lost, do I look like that sort of person?"

"Besides, if I really were with a rich woman, would I still need to pay rent? What are you thinking?" Su Qing replied, slightly irritated.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xing thought it made sense, then pinched his chin and said, "I... I'm afraid I can't decide right now. Ugh, finding a job is hard. Maybe you shouldn't wait for me. I'll figure it out later."

During this conversation, Wang Xing's tone seemed a bit unsure, even his gaze was evasive. Just as Su Qing was feeling puzzled, a voice-over spoke in his mind.

[The soul of the King of Bootlickers shows signs of awakening. Recently, he heard some news about Jiang Mengting, and his bootlicker's heart trembled again. This behavior is beyond his control and persuasion is futile]

Hearing this, Su Qing felt like swearing, 'What the hell, hasn't the time come yet? Why is it awakening so quickly?'

Then Su Qing frowned and said seriously, "Old A, tell the truth. Is it the job problem that's preventing you from moving, or is it because you're reluctant to leave the area near your goddess?"

These words were like stepping on Wang Xing's tail, causing him to bristle like an agitated cat:

"No way, I, Wang Xing, am a man of integrity, even if it means dying out there, jumping off a building, I would never have anything to do with that woman again, otherwise may lightning strike me."

No sooner had he finished speaking, than a flash of lightning cracked across the sky.

Wang Xing: ...

Su Qing: →_→
