“You mean, all of humanity will be annihilated in less than an hour?”
“You mean, all of humanity will be annihilated in less than an…”
“You mean…”
“…”
He had a goal.
For all subsequent cycles, Wu Jin focused on transporting the exam questions.
For the very difficult major questions, his first instinct was to ask Lan Youyou.
As for other simpler questions, with the modern internet being so developed, he could easily find solutions online.
Actually, Wu Jin had some selfish motives in doing this.
That was to help Lan Youyou get a good grade.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but for three years of high school, Lan Youyou, the class monitor, had always taken extra care of him.
She lent him notes. If she found Wu Jin sleeping during lunch, she would even bring him food.
Every time Wu Jin's narcolepsy acted up during physical education class, Lan Youyou would be busy helping him and taking care of him.
Wu Jin had once asked Lan Youyou about the reason for her concern.
However, Lan Youyou's answer was very official; she said it was a class monitor's responsibility.
Actually, Wu Jin had once thought that Lan Youyou liked him and even considered confessing.
But after careful consideration, he was defeated by reality.
Lan Youyou's family background was very good; her father was the deputy director of the Municipal Tobacco Bureau, and her mother was a sales representative for the Grain Bureau.
She had an older brother who was currently working as a development department manager for a foreign company in the Magic City of Huaxia.
Lan Youyou's family was one of the prominent families in the entire Lin City.
Then he looked at himself, Wu Jin.
His family lived in an old residential area, and his parents were just ordinary workers.
He himself suffered from narcolepsy, and his future was uncertain.
So he could only remain silent, and silently kept Lan Youyou's kindness towards him in his heart.
Therefore, now that he could know the exam questions in advance,
He wanted to help Lan Youyou proceed more smoothly on her path to success, as a way to repay her care over the past three years.
Time passed quickly.
Morning of June 6th.
Tomorrow was the College Entrance Examination, and school was dismissed in the afternoon.
The students, who had been suppressed for three years, could no longer contain their restlessness the moment before leaving school.
The classroom was filled with noise, everyone freely exuding the vigor of youth.
As for Wu Jin, he was miserably memorizing questions.
“I say, Ah Jin! It's one thing for you to work hard, but why are you forcing me?”
Gao Jian was on pins and needles.
He had originally planned to go out and relax with his teammates, but Wu Jin had held him in his seat to memorize questions.
Wu Jin's excuse was simple: last-minute preparation!
For some reason, Gao Jian always took Wu Jin's words seriously.
That's why he was looking at Wu Jin with resentment while memorizing the Chinese poetry lines Wu Jin pointed out.
“Study hard, memorize well! After the Chinese exam tomorrow, I won't care even if you run naked!”
Wu Jin nagged like an old mother.
Just then, Lan Youyou walked over with a practice book.
On the eve of the College Entrance Examination, the school's restrictions lessened, meaning everyone had also removed the 'no early romance' label.
Lan Youyou, the campus belle, fully displayed her charm at this time; many boys from other classes would take this opportunity to come to the entrance of Class Nine to confess to Lan Youyou.
Even at this moment, a dozen boys were gathered outside the entrance of Class Nine, observing Lan Youyou through the window.
Lan Youyou paid no attention to this.
“Wu Jin, the difficult chemistry question you just asked me, I found the original question type in this practice book! Let me explain it to you!”
Because Wu Jin had been seeking Lan Youyou's help with studying these past two days,
The students in the class had already gotten used to it and didn't pay much attention.
However, Gao Jian always looked stunned whenever Lan Youyou came, unable to speak coherently.
There was also another person, Liu Bing, whose expression would turn sinister whenever he saw Lan Youyou interact intimately with other boys.
Seeing Lan Youyou actively approaching Wu Jin at this moment, his expression was even more murderous.
Wu Jin ignored the gazes of others.
“Okay! Thank you!” Wu Jin responded with a smile.
For the next few minutes, Lan Youyou meticulously explained the solution and knowledge points to Wu Jin.
Such a harmonious scene continued until noon.
The last class of high school.
The homeroom teacher didn't say any unnecessary words, but instead explained the College Entrance Examination precautions repeatedly.
The bell rang for dismissal.
The students said goodbye to their teacher, preparing to face tomorrow's exam.
Wu Jin said goodbye to Lan Youyou.
Then he left school and went home with Gao Jian.
Along the way, Wu Jin kept reminding Gao Jian to memorize the questions well. Getting a good score on the College Entrance Examination would also be beneficial for his admission.
After parting ways with Gao Jian,
Wu Jin returned to the residential area where his home was located.
This was an old residential area, seventeen or eighteen years old. Back then, Wu Jin's parents left their hometown to make a living, and for Wu Jin's education, they eventually bought this old, dilapidated small apartment.
The residential area was very run-down, with almost no property management.
The six-story building had no elevator.
Wu Jin's family lived on the fifth floor, in a 60-square-meter small two-bedroom apartment.
He arrived at his doorstep and opened the door.
A strong smell of pipe tobacco wafted out. He frowned and covered his nose.
What followed was the voice of a loud woman.
“I say, Second Brother! You insisted on leaving the village back then, but look at what's so good about this city! No land, no vegetable garden, and the living space is cramped and stifling! How frustrating!”
Wu Jin walked into the room.
He saw three people sitting on the sofa.
It was none other than Wu Jin's third uncle's family of three.
The one speaking was his Third Aunt, a genuine shrew.
Wu Jin's father sat on a small stool nearby, head bowed, saying nothing.
And Wu Jin's mother was busy in the kitchen.
“Oh! Wu Jin's back! I tell you, what are you doing wasting time at school when you're sick? Why not come back and help your parents with some work, earn some money. Anything's better than studying!”
Looking at the smoke-filled, cramped living room,
Wu Jin returned to his room with a gloomy face.
“Sigh~! This child, look at him, he doesn't even greet his Third Uncle and Third Aunt when they come. Second Brother, your family education is too outdated!”
After Wu Jin's Third Aunt finished speaking, she elbowed a dark-skinned, shifty-eyed young man to her right:
“Son, don't just stand there, go chat with your younger cousin, and tell him to clean out his room so you can rest well. You have an exam tomorrow, and your Second Aunt can cook you something good to nourish yourself!”
The dark-skinned young man stood up and walked to Wu Jin's room door.
Knock, knock, knock…
“Little brother! What are you doing? I'm coming in!”
With that, he pushed the door open without waiting for Wu Jin to speak.
Wu Jin frowned, looking at his cousin.
His name was Wu Yichang, only two months older than Wu Jin, and he was also taking the College Entrance Examination this year.
Although Wu Jin had closed the door, the old house had poor sound insulation, and he had clearly heard what his Third Aunt said in the living room just now.
Isn't this obvious!
His son was taking an exam, so they came to Wu Jin's house to stay, and even wanted to take Wu Jin's room. It seemed they hadn't considered that Wu Jin was also taking the College Entrance Examination at all.
Wu Yichang walked into the room and looked around:
“It's a bit old, but at least there's no smell! It'll do. Little brother, my mom said to have you clear out your room so I can stay here for the next two days!”
While saying it would do, Wu Yichang's eyes gleamed.
Wu Jin frowned, looking at the other party:
“You stay in my room? Where do I stay then?”
“You…?”
Wu Yichang hadn't thought about this question.
Outside the door, Wu Jin's Third Aunt interjected loudly:
“Wu Jin, what difference does it make if you take the exam with your grades? Look, your brother studies better than you, so give up your room and let your brother rest well. As for you, you can just sleep on the floor in the living room with me and your Third Uncle! We don't mind!”
“His Third Aunt!” Wu Jin's father said weakly, “Even though Little Jin doesn't study well, he still has to take the exam, and he also needs to rest well!”
Wu Jin's Third Aunt's voice grew even louder when she heard this:
“With his grades, he's still taking the exam! You might as well just let him go to work! So, Second Brother! My older brother from my mother's side opened a garbage disposal plant in the neighboring village, and I've already arranged for Wu Jin to work there, 80 a day! 80! What kind of work in the countryside pays 80 a day!”
Wu Jin's father's face flushed:
“This… but this…!”
“No buts! It's settled!” Saying that, Wu Jin's Third Aunt shouted towards Wu Jin's room: “Wu Jin, after your brother finishes his College Entrance Examination, you come with us. I'll take you to work and lighten the burden on your parents!”
At this moment, Wu Jin's mother, who had been cooking in the kitchen, stopped what she was doing:
“His Third Aunt! My Little Jin's matters don't trouble you! Besides, he also has to take the College Entrance Examination and needs to rest well. There really isn't enough space for so many people at home. How about this, after we eat, I'll have Old Wu take you all to find a better hotel. Don't worry, we'll pay!”
“What kind of talk is this, listen to this, listen to this!”
Wu Jin's Third Aunt poked Wu Jin's Third Uncle, who was silently standing beside her.
“In our village, who would kick guests out after they've come to visit? And making us stay in a hotel, is that a place for decent people to stay? What are you thinking, are you afraid my son will outperform your child!”
“Alright, say less!”
Wu Jin's Third Uncle couldn't stand it anymore. He gently pulled his wife.
Wu Jin's Third Aunt shook off his arm:
“What do you mean 'say less'? This is your Second Brother, he's only been in the city for a few years and he's already learned to look down on people! No, no, we're staying today! Son, hurry, help your younger brother tidy up and clear out the room!”
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was awkward.
Wu Jin had never had a good impression of this Third Aunt from the countryside.
She was greedy for small advantages and selfish.
Every year in late June, when they returned to the village for ancestor worship, seeing Wu Jin's family's destitution, she would always speak in a sarcastic tone.
But he never expected her to be so shameless now.
At this moment, Wu Yichang, obeying his mother's words, came to Wu Jin's bed and intended to take Wu Jin's quilt.
“Stop!”
Wu Jin's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
“Are you talking about me?”
Wu Yichang looked at Wu Jin in surprise.
Wu Jin ignored Wu Yichang, stood up, walked to the living room, and pointed at his Third Uncle and Third Aunt in the room:
“You, now, immediately, right now, take your things and get out!!!”
“What? What did you say? Say it again??” Wu Jin's Third Aunt bristled.
Wu Jin's face was cold.
The experiences during this period in his dreams, coupled with the painful deaths he faced each time, made him possess a murderous aura rarely seen in modern people.
His voice wasn't loud, but it gave people the feeling that even the temperature in the room had dropped by three degrees.
“Get out! Get out of my house! Do you understand now?!”
“You, you, you…!” Wu Jin's Third Aunt pointed at Wu Jin, her body trembling.
Wu Yichang walked out from behind Wu Jin at this moment.
Seeing his mother's appearance, he angrily reached out to grab Wu Jin's neck.
Wu Jin moved swiftly, grabbing Wu Yichang's wrist.
“If you dare to lay a hand on me again, I don't mind making you a disabled person!”
Seeing the cold glint in Wu Jin's eyes,
Wu Yichang's entire body was instantly drenched in cold sweat, and he instinctively took two steps back.
“Second Brother, this is the son you raised, disrespectful to elders, and… and even telling us to get out, he's truly lawless! You… I'm going to sue you!”
Wu Jin's parents said nothing.
They had long wanted to lash out, but because of family ties, it was difficult to speak.
Now that their son had spoken for them, they could only support their son's actions with silence.
Seeing that Wu Jin's parents remained silent, Wu Jin's Third Aunt yelled again:
“You… you've really become something, I see you don't want to go back to the village, fine, I remember this, I'll go back and tell Big Brother, let them judge! This year for ancestor worship, let's see what face you have to go back!”
Wu Jin looked at the shrew in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that she was an elder and he didn't want his parents to be embarrassed in front of relatives, he would have loved to rush up and slap her twice.
But he couldn't do anything physically, he could still use his words.
“Are you done talking?” Wu Jin's voice was very cold.
Everyone in the room shivered upon hearing it.
“If you're done talking, you can get out. This is the third time. If I need to remind you again, it won't be with words!”
Upon hearing this, Wu Jin's Third Aunt pointed at Wu Jin and looked at Wu Jin's parents.
Seeing that the whole family remained silent,
She finally stood up fiercely:
“Good! Good! Good! I'll tell Big Brother right now, let's see what face you have to go back!”
“Let's go!”
Saying that, she took their large and small bags and slammed the door shut.
Leaving behind only a mess on the floor and a living room full of pipe tobacco smell.
