The end of the world starts with failing the exam

"I'm not as superficial as you think. I don't like him just because of his face." Qiao Youning stopped and looked back at Li Mobai, "From the time I was sensible until high school, I never felt respected. He was the only one who respected me. Willing to help me..."

Li Mobai lit a cigarette and just smiled without saying anything.

He knew what Qiao Youning was like in the past, so he didn't feel surprised to hear these words.

After all, a child who is neglected by his family and has a slovenly appearance is indeed not easy to be respected or liked by others.

Adults don't like it.

The same goes for peers.

Li Mobai still remembers that Qiao Youning in high school was actually inconspicuous, and she was very different from who she is now... thick glasses that could cover half of her face, plus acne on her face during adolescence, and dry and messy hair. Always wear a braid casually.

Can't say ugly.

It can only be said to be inconspicuous.

Like air.

Even before the last class reunion, when he got Qiao Youning's message, Li Mobai didn't recognize her at first sight.

"When I was in high school, I was always treated as nothing, even by the female classmates who seemed to have a good relationship with me. They liked to treat me like a servant, and from time to time they would find excuses to suppress me, saying that I was not good here or that I was not good there. …”

Qiao Youning seemed to be telling another person's story, but a layer of mist appeared in Li Mobai's eyes, but her tone was still shockingly calm.

"You also know my submissive character at that time. I listened to whatever they said because I only had those friends."

"I have tried to talk to them more than once about my family and the grievances I have suffered since childhood, but they never took it to heart. They even used it as a joke to tell others. When I got angry, I said I couldn't take jokes. Too stingy... I had to apologize to them in the end."

Li Mobai stopped laughing and scratched his head, his expression a little embarrassed.

"Only Chen Jing has never done this. The first time he heard about my family from an outsider was when my best friend told it to him as a joke. Everyone else was laughing at me for being useless. Only him He handed me a note in private, first to enlighten me, and then to teach me how to change the current situation..."

"He does this to everyone." Li Mobai spread his hands, "As long as he doesn't hate that person too much, he will do this. It's not like you don't know that the person named Chen is a standard bad guy... I feel it, you It just amplifies the feeling.”

"I do not care."

Qiao Youning was unmoved, as if she had known this for a long time, and the expression on her face remained calm.

"Over the years, he was the first person who made me feel respected and the first person who was willing to listen to me and give me advice."

"So I like him, not because of his face."

"Oh, I know, I know!" Li Mobai interrupted Qiao Youning and hurriedly raised his hands to show that he was wrong, "I'm a bitch! Don't worry about it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mobai couldn't help but ask another question.

"Then why don't you confess your love to him? Are you afraid of being rejected?"

"afraid."

Qiao Youning replied without hesitation.

Speaking of this, she suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"He has such a good character, he is always afraid of causing trouble to others, and is also afraid of accidentally hurting others, so... I know that he doesn't like me, and he just treats me as a friend, but isn't that enough? Isn't that enough? Do you have to force him to be happy because it’s so rare?”

"Yeah." Li Mobai lowered his head and slowly blew out the smoke.

"You don't have to say it if you like it." Qiao Youning turned around and walked towards the old house on the mountain, her voice was very soft, as if she had no strength.

"I have been living in the shadows for the past ten years, and I have wanted to change the status quo more than once, but not everyone is born with the courage to change their lives... I am a pitiful person who must be hateful."

Li Mobai looked at Qiao Youning's back with a complicated expression, feeling that she looked lonely, as if she had not changed in all these years.

"To me, he is the sun I see in the abyss. I am satisfied that I can go a certain way forward with his light. I don't even dare to think about going further... So, when a friend has What’s bad?”

Yes.

What's wrong with being friends?

Never have unrealistic delusions...

Qiao Youning warned herself in her heart.

Until I returned to my old home.

Seeing the busy figure calling for help from Jaegertos and running back and forth to clean up the mess on the dining table, her hardened heart suddenly softened again. She always felt that she had a lot to say but lacked the courage.

"Come quickly and help!"

Chen Jing took a towel and wiped the table frantically, sweating profusely. When he saw Qiao Youning coming back, he felt like he had seen a savior.

"There are still five minutes until we go back! This time it will probably be another month! My dishes and chopsticks are still piled up and not washed, and the garbage bags haven't been emptied yet..."

"When we come and go, it only takes a moment for the world to see them, and they won't get bugs if you put them in the kitchen."

Qiao Youning rolled up her sleeves and ran into the house, her ponytail swaying back and forth.

Although what she said made sense, in the end she still took into account Chen Jing's mysophobic temperament.

"Put down the rag and let me do it! You go and clean up the dishes! Just let Aji take care of the garbage!"

"Hey! That's right! Aji, come here..."

Chen Jing quickly ran into the kitchen and took out the kitchen garbage bag.

"You won't let me eat it, will you?" Baiaji showed his head outside the gate, looking warily at the King of Deep Space who would allow him to devote all his loyalty.

"I saw you were flying fast... I asked you to take it and throw it away... What were you thinking..." Chen Jing smiled awkwardly.

Bai Aji raised his paws vigilantly, pointed to the ground outside the threshold, motioned for Chen Jing to put him down on the ground, and then ran out more than ten meters away in an instant.

Seeing Chen Jing obediently placing the garbage bag in the designated place, Bai Aji remained vigilant, muttering "Back! Back! Back", and then rushed forward, holding the garbage bag in his mouth and flying away with his wings. .

The sun is shining brightly in the sky.

The wind is also gentle.

It's just that the smell from the garbage bags is a bit bad.

Maybe this is the taste of home.

"vomit……"

"It really stinks..."

"I don't know if that bastard Yegertos will stink so much after he dies..."

Chapter 239 The Old Man's Accidental Discovery

After completing all preparations, Chen Jing sent both Yagertos and Baiage back to deep space.

Because when they traveled back to the surface world, they were in deep space... whatever it was like when they came in, it would be like when they went back.

This way it won't arouse suspicion.

Although Qiao Youning was curious about the sudden disappearance of Yegetos and Baiaji, she didn't ask any more questions because she felt that this might be Chen Jing's "sequence power".

Since Chen Jing didn't take the initiative to explain, there was no need to ask.

[Countdown to return to the examination room: 0 hours, 01 minutes and 20 seconds]

In the living room of the old house, Chen Jing looked a little uneasy sitting on the sofa. Although he was naturally happy to see the old man and the others back home, at this moment he inexplicably remembered the "Yellow King's Courtyard".

that time.

This is the closest anyone has come to death.

Even the old man almost fell into the hands of Zhao Puxian.

This biological leap exam is definitely not a child's play, nor is it a home stage for him to perform alone. Although everything seems to be going well at the moment, who knows what will happen after returning this time...

"Live well!"

Qiao Youning is much calmer than Chen Jing.

Compared to Chen Jing, she had not felt any threat in the other world, and she was not as concerned as Chen Jing, so at this moment she still had time to cheer Chen Jing up.

"You too." Chen Jing forced a smile and felt his heart beating very fast, "Live a good life in Jizhou. If the forum function is also open in the outside world, then we will contact you there then!"

On the occasion of parting.

Both of them are telling each other to live well.

"We can't see each other again for a while..." Chen Jing leaned against the sofa and kept taking deep breaths, pretending to be relaxed and smiling, "I will miss you!"

"Me too."

Hearing Chen Jing's words, Qiao Youning's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Even if Chen Jing was talking about you instead of you, she was still extremely happy.

"I will miss you every day!"

"You don't have to think about it every day, just think about it occasionally." Chen Jing did not hear the implication of this sentence, "When you come back from the other world next time, I will bring you some local specialties from Yongye City to try. Just like my grandpa’s favorite food..."

that……

Suddenly, the scenery in front of Chen Jing changed instantly.

The vision that was bright and clear before suddenly became dim, and even seeing things became blurry for a moment.

The temperature suddenly changed.

The dazzling hot sunlight in the afternoon also turned into the cold and white moonlight.

"came back……"

Chen Jing lay on the bed in the same position as before the time travel. Listening to the chirping sound of the TV in the living room, his briefly stagnant brain suddenly became active.

I remember the last time I went back...

Wei Nan and Yan Quelian were both watching TV in the living room, and the old man seemed to be sleeping on the recliner...

While Chen Jing was mentally preparing, he got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, then looked in the mirror to make sure that he had not changed much.

at the same time.

The test reminder light screen popped up again.

But this time the content is the words left by the examiner "Mr. Wu" to all the candidates. It is not the kind of strict exam rules reminder that almost takes up the entire screen in the past.

-

<I believe that all candidates have memorized the examination rules, but as the chief examiner, I still want to remind you that you have little time left. Please hurry up and complete the final question for candidates who want to advance in biology...>

<Or, destroy the dimensional core of the other world>

<Or, come and try to kill me or "Mum">

<The second round of examinations will last for 2400 days, a total of hours...>

-

Compared to the lengthy examination rules, these few lines of text clearly shocked Chen Jing more.

He didn't expect that the second round of exams would be extended from thirty days to one hundred days... Is this the case for every round of exams?

The further back you go, the more time will overlap?

And the first paragraph...

Why do I always feel like "He" is in a hurry for us to finish the exam?

At this moment, the light screen prompt disappeared and was replaced by the familiar forum page.

"It seems that in the other world... this forum can still be used..." Chen Jing carefully looked at the information prompts on the page, only to find that the [Public Communication Area] was gray and unclickable, while the [Candidate Communication Area] could be used normally. use.

In other words.

The candidate's connection with the outside world has been severed.

But this is understandable.
