Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 111

The examination rooms for the four children were all in No. 2 High School in that city.

Tang Shiwei was going to work, Grandma Tao stayed at home, and Su Mingan drove the children to the examination room.

Before going out, Grandma Tao told the children to check the admission tickets and stationery again.

The four of them smiled.

Grandma Tao said to Su Mingan, “Drive slowly, it’s still early, and you can catch up if you ride slowly.”

Su Mingan laughed, and led the children into the elevator.

He used to talk to the children when he was driving, but that day the atmosphere was different. Without Xu Shou reminding him, he concentrated all his attention on observing the road. The children were scholars, so he shouldn’t do anything that would affect their critical moments. If he dared, Grandma Tao would scold him and his wife may divorce him.

It wasn’t until encountering a 60-second red light that Su Mingan asked with a smile, “Xu Shou, Jia Ling, what are your plans for the summer vacation? Will you both go home?”

Gu Jialing had planned it long ago, and said excitedly, “I’m going to travel, and I’ll visit one resort a week.”

He wanted to accumulate experience for opening a resort by himself in the future.

Su Mingan looked at Xu Shou.

Xu Shoudao: “I will stay in Anshi to work part-time.”

If he got lucky, he could earn his freshman tuition and living expenses by working part-time for two months.

Although the Taoist master had money and was willing to spend it on him, Xu Shou couldn’t do the brazen thing of thinking about the Taoist master’s money every day like the cat and the bird.

Su Mingan’s eyes lit up, “Do you want to help out in Uncle’s company? It’s hard to do the decoration, but you are strong, so it should be fine.”

Xu Shou: “Thank you Uncle, I will consider it, the green light is on.”

Su Mingan: “…”

He kept his mouth shut and continued to be a responsible and good driver.

They soon arrived at the examination place. It was just eight o’clock, half an hour before the time to enter the examination room.

“Should we sit in the car or wait outside?” Su Mingan asked.

Gu Jialing: “Go down, the car is too small. It’s uncomfortable.”

Su Mingan: “…”

The silly boy looked quite likable, but why was his speech so unpleasant? Fortunately, he had a big heart.

The five people got out of the car one after another.

Students from several high schools in the city were randomly assigned to different examination rooms, so looking around, there were not many familiar faces.

“Miaomiao!” Feng Xiaoyu and Yu Le ran out from the crowd toward Su Miaomiao happily.

Su Mingan laughed straight at the sight. His wife was worried that his daughter’s popularity was not good., but apparently she had quite a lot of good friends.

The three girls gathered together, and unknowingly distanced themselves from Xie Jingyuan.

Gu Jialing touched his chin, “Why didn’t anyone come to me?”

Xu Shou gave a low snort. How could a bird who admired himself all day long have real friends?

Xie Jingyuan held Su Miaomiao’s bag in his hand, and stood expressionlessly, standing out from the crowd.

Su Mingan looked around, but he couldn’t find a male student who was more eye-catching than Xie Jingyuan.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the bell rang to remind candidates that they could enter the school.

After following his daughter, Su Mingan couldn’t go any further. Looking at his daughter who was already taller than his wife, he was still very worried.

Not daring to say too much, Su Mingan turned to Xie Jingyuan in the end, “Jingyuan, send Miaomiao to her examination room first, and watch her.”

Xie Jingyuan nodded toward him, his expression was still indifferent, and he continued to walk behind Su Miaomiao.

Su Mingan snorted.

Candidates poured into the teaching building like carps trying to jump into the dragon gate, and then distributed to each floor and classroom.

The examination rooms of Gu Jialing and Xu Shou were on the second floor.

Xie Jingyuan was on the third floor, but he accompanied Su Miaomiao to the fourth floor first.

Su Miaomiao stopped in front of the stairs and said to him, “I can find it myself.” 

Her dad really made a big fuss out of nothing.

Xie Jingyuan: “Let’s go, let me see who is sitting with you.”

Su Miaomiao understood, “You are afraid that they will bully me.”

Xie Jingyuan neither admitted nor denied it.

When they arrived at her examination room, it was already half full. Su Miaomiao’s seat was in the third row in the middle. There were two boys and two girls in the front, back, right, and left. They were all quite honest.

Xie Jingyuan stood outside the examination room and told Su Miaomiao, “Even if there is any conflict, you have to wait until the exam is over to leave the examination room.”

Su Miaomiao nodded mechanically.

Xie Jingyuan: “Wait here for me after the exam, I’ll come to pick you up.”

Su Miaomiao: “…”

Didn’t they say that after eighteen years old a person became an adult, and one could be self-reliant after becoming an adult? Why was the Taoist master still treating her like a father treating his kindergarten child?

She grabbed her own things and entered the examination room without looking back.

After she cleaned up the table, she looked up and found that Xie Jingyuan was still at the door.

Fortunately, as soon as their eyes met, he walked away immediately.

The first test was Chinese.

Su Miaomiao answered all the questions carefully, and checked the composition three times to make sure it was correct. After waiting for a while, the invigilator began to collect the papers.

Su Miaomiao was the first to rush out of the examination room because she had packed everything in advance.

She ran very fast, and wanted to go to the third floor to wait for Xie Jingyuan and give him a surprise.

As a result, as soon as she ran to the stairs, he also turned around from the corridor.

The boy in the white shirt raised his head, and the girl in the white skirt smiled at him.

Xie Jingyuan also smiled, “Let’s go.”
