Chapter 178: Ghost in the Magic World - Written Exam (2)

If he join in...

Jun Lin couldn’t imagine how chaotic it would be.

And the Jun Family will definitely make a good use of his good result to add more trouble with the younger generation, essentially attracting more hatred for him.

’It would have been better if this Jun Lin is an ordinary person... huh? What am I thinking about?’

Jun Lin frowned and rubbed his forehead.

In the past few days, he seemed to have strange feelings. It was as if he was both himself and not himself.

Shaking his head, Jun Lin just thought that the pressure from the Jun Family might be a bit too big lately. They had known that he would team up with Duan Rong Yu to participate in the examination later. Based on Duan Rong Yu’s performance and the fact that he and Bing Hong Xiang often competed together, the chance of him not passing the graduation exam was extremely low.

Jun Lin knew that the Jun Family had long hoped to make trouble for him.

For example, making him more of an embarrassment in the Jun Family and cause trouble for him in front of others.

Not passing the graduation exam would be utterly embarrassing.

But it works.

And Jun Lin knew very well that teaming up with Duan Rong Yu and Shang Kui would be the same as asking for trouble.

Because neither one of them were popular in the city.

Just Bing Hong Xiang alone was already troublesome.

With him, there were also some people from the Jun Family.

And then... Jun Lin thought about Shang Kui and Shang Xiyue’s relationship that was like fire and water.

Well, considering that Bing Hong Xiang and Shang Xiyue were a couple that everyone agreed on, it didn’t seem to be that much of a big deal. If the worst truly come, then they would just go all out and fight with Bing Hong Xiang directly during the examination.

In this way, the written exam passed by peacefully.

No one dared to cheat under the watchful eyes of the teacher. Knowing the teacher’s background, they would be asking for trouble if they dared to try cheating.

"How is it, Jun Lin?" Duan Rong Yu asked after the time was up.

"As usual," Jun Lin replied calmly with Xiang Kui following behind the two of them like a little tail.

Considering Shang Kui’s usual personality, Xiang Kui remained silent and didn’t even take a look in the direction of Bing Hong Xiang and Shang Xiyue. She didn’t want to make more trouble and possibly go OOC unnecessarily.

"The teachers never truly care about our performance." Duan Rong Yu shook his head. "Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let people who performed well to team up with each other."

Jun Lin shrugged. "It works in our favor, so why make trouble?"

"Right, right~."

Seeing that Duan Rong Yu seemed to be thinking of making trouble again, Jun Lin’s lips twitched and he quickly stepped out of the hall. He didn’t want to be here and clean up Duan Rong Yu’s mess should he made trouble.

"Eh, Jun Lin? Where are you going? Wait for me!" Duan Rong Yu saw that Jun Lin had run out and could only rush over to follow.

Xiang Kui saw this scene and felt that Jun Lin looked more like Duan Rong Yu’s nanny than teammates.

She wanted to laugh just thinking about it.

The relationship between the two of them were really good.

"The entrance exam wouldn’t pose any trouble for them." Bing Hong Xiang’s eyes were cold when he looked at Duan Rong Yu and the others who were still relaxed from the written examination.

It was obvious that given their usual performance, the three of them were good at this kind of exam.

"The practical exam will be the place for you to show your real ability, Hong Xiang," Shang Xiyue said softly to Bing Hong Xiang, consoling and reassuring him.

"I know." Bing Hong Xiang sneered. "How’s your side preparation?"

"Everything will go in accordance to your wishes," Shang Xiyue said with a sweet smile on her face.

Bing Hong Xiang nodded in satisfaction when he heard that.

Their team members were silent and Shang Su was also looking at Shang Xiyue with strange expression. This was the first time Shang Xu went on the same team with Shang Xiyue and Bing Hong Xiang.

Why does it feel that their relationship was not as sweet as what other people said before?

Shang Su felt that it was a bit odd.

But he couldn’t exactly pinpoint where it was weird.

Maybe because he’s too young to understand?

That was the only thing that Shang Su could think when he thought about this matter. Anyway, it was not his business how his sister and Bing Hong Xiang’s relationship developed.

...

The practical exam will start in the afternoon.

The students were given enough time to rest and eat something before the practical exam started. Because of that, Xiang Kui, Jun Lin, and Duan Rong Yu went to the nearby restaurant to eat together.

"...Did you not prepare food before?" Jun Lin was speechless when he looked at the signboard in front of the restaurant.

This is one of the most expensive restaurant in this city!

Thinking about the little money in his wallet, Jun Lin just wanted to cry. He didn’t have enough to even buy water from this restaurant.

"If you’re so concerned about money, I’ll treat you." Duan Rong Yu rolled his eyes. It was not the first time he treated Jun Lin anyway. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This poor man always counted the money in his wallet as if he was afraid that someone would steal it. Considering Jun Lin’s treatment, no one didn’t know that he was so poor!

So it was useless even if he tried to keep his wallet close.

Jun Lin: "..."

He silently looked at Duan Rong Yu speechlessly but in the end said nothing.

"Uhm.... I can also treat you if you want to," Xiang Kui said with uncertainty as she looked at Jun Lin.
