The Stand-in Refuses to Become a Regular - Chapter 15
In October, Xue Yingshuang and Xing Yun were busy.
Xing Yun went home a lot late these days, Xue Yingshuang asked, Xing Yun only replied: “There are many things.”
And Xue Yingshuang is also too busy to take care of himself. After every day, he is studying. After reviewing the exam materials for the third round, he still has no confidence.
Because of this, he didn’t notice the mysterious smile that Xing Yun occasionally showed.
On the second weekend of October, Xing Yun was going on a business trip.
He took the luggage that Xue Yingshuang prepared for him, his face was tired, but his eyes were filled with joy: “I can relax when I come back this time.”
Xue Yingshuang stood in front to tie his tie, also looking tired. He said again: “When the time comes, you…”
Xue Yingshuang: “?”
Xing Yun shut up: “It’s nothing.”
On the night he came back from a business trip, Xing Yun didn’t even have time to put his briefcase back in the study, so he went to work in the living room.
He was talking on the phone in the living room, scolding and jumping like a dog with rabies.
But as soon as he raised his hand, he saw Xue Yingshuang standing beside him with a broom and bucket. The eyes of the two met, and Xue Yingshuang hurriedly made a “please” gesture to Xing Yun.
Xing Yun: “…”
Xue Yingshuang thought that Xing Yun didn’t understand, and whispered softly: “Smash, smash hard, I’ll sweep it in a while.”
Xing Yun silently put the cup back on the table, a sigh of suffocation was not released.
It was so annoying. He thought he would be able to comfortably wait for the weekend to go out with Xue Yingshuang after the business trip. Unexpectedly, there would be a series of emergencies. Seeing this, the trip this weekend might be in vain.
Xing Yun secretly glanced at Xue Yingshuang, and saw that Xue Yingshuang was absent-minded again, holding a broom in his hand to sweep the air repeatedly, and muttering to himself, as if he was evil.
Xing Yun took a deep breath and held his temper to continue working.
No matter how busy or tired he is, he has to spare this weekend.
Otherwise, this little stand-in won’t go out to relax again, and I’m afraid it will be abolished.
On Friday, Xing Yun came back from get off work, it was half past one in the morning.
He is a night owl, and Xue Yingshuang is also a night owl. However, there is no light in Xue Yingshuang’s room today, so he must have fallen asleep.
It was rare for Xue Yingshuang to go to bed so early.
Xing Yunben wanted to go into the house to make a surprise attack, but thinking about giving Xue Yingshuang a surprise tomorrow, he took back the hand that had already been placed on the door handle.
Xing Yun stood in front of Xue Yingshuang’s room, simulating tomorrow’s process in his mind:
Get up early.
wash.
to the second bedroom.
Raid Xue Yingshuang in his sleep.
Tell Xue Yingshuang to go out to play.
Xue Yingshuang was moved to tears.
Great mercy to help Xue Yingshuang wipe away tears.
The more Xing Yun thought about it, the more happy he became, and after a while, he became worried again… What if Xue Yingshuang loved me more and more?
What a headache.
On Saturday morning, Xing Yun successfully overslept.
He was as excited as the elementary school students who were going out for an outing, and couldn’t sleep. I finally fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes, it was bright.
I grabbed my phone and looked at it. At 8:30…it’s okay, it’s not too late.
Xing Yun walked into the bathroom, brushing quickly with a toothbrush in his mouth, while browsing the news on his mobile phone.
[Weather forecast: The typhoon is expected to make landfall tomorrow evening. 】
Xing Yun: “???”
He has been busy with work these days, and he has no intention to pay attention to the news at all. How could he know that a typhoon suddenly came out?
Or a fall?
He hurriedly looked out the window, the weather was fine, and there was no sign of a typhoon coming.
But it’s okay if the typhoon comes, leave today, stay for one night, and come back tomorrow evening, who cares if it’s a typhoon or not?
Xing Yun took care of himself quickly, restrained his expression, and left the bedroom with an indifferent expression.
Through the corridor, he came to the living room.
There is no one in the living room.
No one, okay, Xue Yingshuang should be in the kitchen.
But go to the kitchen again, the kitchen is empty.
What about people?
Xing Yun went around the house and searched every room, only to find that Xue Yingshuang was gone.
Did you go shopping? No, Xue Yingshuang likes to go grocery shopping with him on weekends, so it is impossible to go out by himself.
Xing Yun called Xue Yingshuang directly.
The phone rang a few times, and Xue Yingshuang picked it up, but then hung up.
Xing Yun was stunned.
Called again, Xue Ying Shuang shut down.
“Whose cell phone is ringing?” the invigilator said loudly, “Again, turn off all cell phones and put them in the bag. The bag is not allowed to be brought into the examination room. If someone’s cell phone rings later, points will be deducted.”
“Sorry.” On the other side of City A, Xue Yingshuang hurriedly turned off the phone and put his phone in his bag, and put it in the corridor together with the bag.
Today’s Xue Yingshuang is no longer wearing a white shirt and suit pants, but his white T-shirt and jeans that were about to be washed.
He put away his bag and trotted to join the line again, standing at the end of the line.
After working at Xing Yun’s for a long time, Xue Yingshuang used to be expressionless.
But today he couldn’t control his expression. His brows were wrinkled, his eyes kept blinking, he held the admission ticket in one hand and the pencil case in the other, trembling slightly unconsciously.
There were men, women and children in the team, and everyone was as nervous as Xue Yingshuang.
After a while, Xue Yingshuang, who was last in line, stepped into the examination room, and the invigilator closed the door.
Today is the first day of the exam.
Self-examination is divided into self-examination junior college and self-examination undergraduate. Candidates with a junior college degree can directly take the self-examination undergraduate degree, while people like Xue Yingshuang who only have a junior high school degree need to obtain a junior college diploma before they are eligible for a self-examination undergraduate degree.
There are many ways to get an undergraduate degree as soon as possible, such as buying a fake high school certificate, and then studying it in a special book, that is, using the adult college entrance examination, or online teaching or TV University to read a junior college, while taking an undergraduate exam.
But this is risky and unfair.
So Xue Yingshuang chose the most practical way, first self-taught junior college, and then self-taught undergraduate.
In the past two or three years, although he has been slow in the test, he has also completed most of the self-examination specialists. After finishing the exam this time, you can start your undergraduate exam.
There are four times a year for the self-examination, and each examination takes two days, one subject in the morning and one in the afternoon each day.
There are 16 compulsory courses for each major. If you apply for 4 courses per exam, you can get a bachelor’s degree within one year at the earliest.
The contract between Xue Yingshuang and Xing Yun is only one year, but Xing Yun will not necessarily renew the contract. Xue Yingshuang does not have much time to study with confidence.
Therefore, he gave himself the requirement that he must pass all subjects in one go.
Because of this, this month he almost went crazy studying, studying during the day, studying at night, and secretly reciting the exam content at work, for fear that he could not remember it well.
He didn’t know who was calling just now, but he didn’t care anymore.
The bell rang, Xue Yingshuang took a deep breath, and answered with a pen.
At half past eleven, the bell rang.
Xue Yingshuang, who checked until the last moment, put down his pen and left the examination room as instructed by the invigilator.
The weather is not as bright as the morning sun, the sky is a little cloudy at this time, and the air is very hot.
The exam room was in a high school, and there was no one on the campus on Sunday, and it was even more empty after the candidates left.
Xue Yingshuang found an empty corridor at random and sat down, took out the bread and teaching materials from his bag, and ate the bread while studying for the exam in the afternoon.
I don’t know how long it took, Xue Yingshuang frowned. His eyes were fixed on the book, and he reached into his bag and fumbled for his mobile phone, trying to check an unclear knowledge point.
He didn’t even glance at the phone, just pressed the power button.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated suddenly, and at a glance, he saw hundreds of missed calls and messages pouring in at the same time, and the phone kept vibrating, almost freezing it.
Less than ten seconds after it was turned on, the phone rang.
It was Xing Yun who called.
Xue Yingshuang picked it up puzzled: “Hey, why…”
“Where the **** are you!!”
Xing Yun’s voice exploded from the phone, and Xue Yingshuang hurriedly took the phone away.
What’s going on here?
“Where have you been??? Are you safe???”
Xing Yun’s voice is manic, similar to his violent voice at work, but not so similar, a little more hoarse.
His voice was so loud that even people passing by at the end of the hallway looked back.
Xue Yingshuang hurriedly covered his phone and whispered, “I’m fine, calm down.”
“Calm down, how can you keep me calm! I can’t find you in the morning!”
Xue Yingshuang was at a loss: “Isn’t it a holiday today?”
Xing Yun roared: “Vacation? A fart vacation! Is today your holiday day! Who said you can have a holiday?”
Xue Yingshuang: “I mentioned it to you last time.”
Xing Yun was stagnant, and then said again: “When? Did I allow it?”
Xue Yingshuang said: “I told you a month ago. At that time, you asked me how I could get a bachelor’s degree. Later, I asked you for leave, you can say whatever you want.”
Xing Yun remembered, but he just said quickly: “The holiday is cancelled, you come back now.”
Xue Yingshuang: “I still have something to do. I can’t go back until tomorrow night.”
Xing Yun: “What else can you do?”
Xue Yingshuang: “Self-examination exam.”
Xing Yun was stagnant again, and then said: “I don’t care what you break the exam, you come back immediately!”
Xue Yingshuang said calmly, “I won’t be able to go back until I finish the exam tomorrow.”
Xing Yun: “How dare you? If you don’t come back today, you will get out, and you will never have to come back.”
Xue Yingshuang was silent for a moment, and then replied: “I won’t take the initiative to quit. If you want to fire me, remember to follow the regular process, and don’t forget N+1.”
Xing Yun: “Go away.”
The phone hangs up.
The sky was extremely gloomy, the sky was finally unable to contain the rain, and raindrops the size of beans fell one after another.
Raindrops fell on Xue Yingshuang and wet his thin face. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was grey.
He wiped the rain from his face, picked up the book, walked to the other side, and looked down at the book again, as if nothing had happened.
At the other end of the city, Xing Yun in the car was lying on the steering wheel.
His hair was messy, and he always wore a suit to go out. He was wearing home clothes at this time, and even a pair of slippers on his feet.
The door was half open, and he was about to get out of the car, but he called Xue Yingshuang a second before getting out of the car.
The increasing rain kept pouring into the car from the door, but he did not respond, leaving the door open.
“Boy,” a policeman knocked on the window glass, “don’t stop in front of the police station, just drive away.”
Xing Yun got up and said in a low voice, “Sorry, let’s go now.”
Xing Yun was about to close the door, but the police grabbed the door and asked, “Why are your feet bleeding? Did you call the police?”
I saw a scar on Xing Yun’s left calf with a length of one or two centimeters. The scar was still wet with blood, and with large bruises, it looked shockingly red and purple.
It was only then that Xing Yun noticed that he was injured.
He was hung up in the morning and thought something happened to Xue Yingshuang.
He searched the neighborhood around his house, and even went to the supermarket to find it. After looking for a circle, I didn’t see anyone, and I rushed home to let the property adjust and monitor.
During the surveillance, Xue Yingshuang left at six in the morning.
Xue Yingshuang’s house was not tidy up, the clothes were still there, it didn’t seem like he had run away from home.
Xing Yun was puzzled, and finally only thought of calling the police.
He was in such a hurry that his left foot was pinched by the car door before getting into the car, and he almost cried out in pain.
But he didn’t have time to worry about it anymore, so he drove away, only to be reminded that there was such a thing.
Xing Yun retracted his left foot and tried to cover it up. He raised his head and said politely to the police: “I was caught in the car door and I was going to the hospital.”
The police looked around the car and saw that the car was neat and tidy, and Xing Yun himself was nothing unusual except for his pale face. Checking Xing Yun’s wound again, there are indeed Dao marks.
The policeman said, “Then go quickly, don’t delay.”
Xing Yun nodded and drove away.
Xing Yun didn’t go to the hospital but went straight home.
Halfway through, the phone rang.
Xing Yun’s eyes lit up, but after picking up the phone, he heard Bai Qianyi’s voice, and his eyes dimmed again.
“Are you all right? The call to you just now was hung up.”
Before Xing Yun arrived at the police station, Bai Qianyi had called, but in order to continue to call Xue Yingshuang, Xing Yun directly hung up Bai Qianyi’s phone.
Xing Yun: “I was a little busy just now…”
Bai Qianyi: “It’s really okay? I’m not in the mood to hear your voice.”
Xing Yun cheered up and said, “Well, it’s fine.”
Bai Qianyi smiled and said, “I was shocked. The first time you hung up the phone, I thought something happened.”
Xing Yun chuckled lightly, but did not answer.
Bai Qianyi: “It’s fine, are you free? Let’s chat.”
Xing Yun was silent for a moment, then said: “Bai Qianyi, let’s not talk about it today, I’m a little tired.”
When the call ended, the car was quiet except for the sound of rain.
The rain kept falling, the wipers swept on the glass, and the road ahead became clear and blurred.
