Chapter 177: King of Kings
Lin Tian and Bai Shishi finished their statements at the police station and came out; it was already late at night.
"I planned to sleep early tonight for tomorrow’s standardized tests, but ended up staying out so late!" Lin Tian yawned.
He feared that among the masses taking the test tomorrow, he’d be the only one wandering outside late at night instead of sleeping.
"I realize I’ve been too lenient these days; all sorts of troubles keep finding me!" Bai Shishi said angrily as she walked out of the police station.
In the past, she handled everything on her own and was exceptionally dominant.
But now, with Lin Tian around, for some reason, she wants to hand everything to Lin Tian, to rely on him.
Gradually, she lost her assertive aura.
"Could it be that Lin Tian is subtly changing my mentality!" Bai Shishi pondered to herself.
"So what’s your take, Miss Bai?" Lin Tian sensed a slight shift in Bai Shishi’s aura.
This aura, he had felt it the first time he met Bai Shishi.
Later, he gradually felt Bai Shishi becoming more gentle.
Until tonight, Lin Tian once again sensed the dominant aura of Bai Shishi as a strong-minded woman.
"Eliminate them all!"
Bai Shishi said fiercely.
No matter if Lin Tian had altered her mindset, Bai Shishi now needed to switch back.
A tender, domestic little woman was not suited to her current situation.
That would only make others think of her as easy to bully.
"Alright! After my standardized tests, I’ll help you get rid of them together!"
Lin Tian said earnestly, regardless of who exactly was plotting against Bai Shishi.
Lin Tian decided to use the college vacation after the standardized tests to help Bai Shishi resolve the trouble.
Otherwise, when he went to college, he wouldn’t be by Bai Shishi’s side.
She would be in danger.
"Let’s go back to sleep; tomorrow’s tests are important!" After finishing speaking, Bai Shishi wearily got into the car.
The two returned home, turned on all the switches, and Lin Tian didn’t bother to wash; he just lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
At exactly six the next morning, Lin Tian hurriedly got up to pack for the standardized tests.
Because Bai Shishi hadn’t woken up yet, Lin Tian didn’t want to disturb her, especially after last night’s late ordeal.
Instead of having Bai Shishi drive him to the test center, he opted to take the bus.
Before leaving, he grabbed a box of milk, a piece of bread, and a sausage from the kitchen!
On the bus, Lin Tian had just finished drinking the milk and threw it into the trash can when a woman got on and stood in front of him.
At first, Lin Tian didn’t notice anything unusual, but every time the bus hit a bumpy road and swayed, the woman would turn and glare at him.
Lin Tian was bewildered, thinking this woman was crazy.
He hadn’t provoked her; what was she glaring at?
After glaring at Lin Tian a couple of times, the woman finally couldn’t hold back and turned to say, "If you keep this up, I’m going to call the police!"
"Call the police? For what?" Lin Tian was astonished.
I haven’t done anything to you!
Suddenly, the bus became unusually quiet; everyone looked at Lin Tian, their eyes like they were staring at a rogue.
Lin Tian was baffled.
"I haven’t done anything!" With so many people watching, Lin Tian hurriedly explained.
At the same time, he thought this woman was completely framing him!
Then he exposed her real intention: "You’re just trying to scam me for money, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense, it’s clearly you who’s wrong!"
The woman replied as the bus passed over another bumpy road, causing Lin Tian’s body to sway.
"You mean this?"
Looking at the item in his pocket, Lin Tian finally understood what was going on.
"I just have a sausage in my pocket!" Lin Tian pulled out a red-skinned King Sausage from his pocket.
Instantly, the bus was filled with laughter, and the tense atmosphere disappeared.
"Hmph, you’re obnoxious!"
The woman’s face turned red, quickly stepping away from Lin Tian.
Lin Tian smirked and said, "Miss, I’m innocent!"
"Enough!" The woman stomped her foot in rage, embarrassed in front of all these people.
"I didn’t do it on purpose!" Lin Tian muttered.
Next, Lin Tian was in a dilemma.
Holding the sausage, it felt wrong to eat it, but not eating it felt equally strange!
If he doesn’t eat, this is breakfast, shoved into his pocket due to lack of time!
If he eats it, it would be under everyone’s watch?
It would look quite awkward.
Holding the sausage this way, Lin Tian got off the bus at the Third High School stop.
He tore open the sausage and ate it while walking into the campus.
Standardized tests, a major event deciding the fate of many students.
Outside the school, countless parents waited at the school gate, holding vigil.
They looked into the quiet campus with eyes filled with hope and expectation.
Praying in their hearts for each of their children.
Hoping they could achieve good scores, get into a good university, and change their lives.
And Lin Tian was one of those countless students.
Sitting in the exam hall, with individual desks, the invigilator distributed the papers.
The first subject was Chinese.
Lin Tian picked up the test paper and suddenly faced an embarrassing problem; he didn’t have a pen.
He was forced to ask the invigilator for help.
"What’s the matter, student?" A middle-aged female invigilator came over and asked.
"Teacher, I rushed out today and forgot to bring a pen!" Lin Tian said awkwardly.
"..." The female invigilator’s face darkened.
No pen in a standardized test, in all her years of invigilation, she had never encountered such a student.
"Hold on, I’ll get one for you!" The female invigilator said, immediately walking towards the podium.
Soon, the female invigilator placed a pen on Lin Tian’s desk.
"Do your best on the test!" She reminded.
Lin Tian picked up the pen and started working on the test paper, his pen flying across the sheet.
Without any pause, Lin Tian finished the last sentence of the essay.
"Done!" Having finished the essay, Lin Tian’s first instinct was to get up and submit his paper.
"What are you doing, student?"
This time, it was a male invigilator who shouted sternly.
"I finished, submitting my paper?" Lin Tian was startled and sat back down, afraid to move.
"The exam has been in progress for less than half an hour; submission is not allowed!" The male invigilator replied, eyes showing a hint of disappointment.
It seemed that this student had given up on the standardized tests!
Finishing a Chinese exam in less than half an hour.
Not to mention other questions, just the final essay should take nearly an hour.
This indicated that Lin Tian must have written randomly and carelessly.
Clearly not caring about the exam results!
Unable to submit and unable to move, Lin Tian could only lie on the desk and sleep...
Meanwhile, his heart was filled with resentment: "The standardized test duration is a bit long!"
