Just coming out of the examination room, Xu Xiaonan’s steps were light; she rarely felt so happy after finishing an exam.
This time, she had absolute confidence.
Even if the King of Heaven himself came, she firmly believed that she absolutely could not fail this time.
Arriving at the school gate, Xu Xiaonan pulled out her phone and called Jiang Huihui.
Jiang Huihui was her best friend, and she couldn't wait to share her joy with her.
“Hui Hui, where are you?”
Jiang Huihui’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “I’m at school. What’s up? You sound so happy. Did something good happen?
No, shouldn’t you have just finished your exam? You looked so worried when you went in this morning.”
“It’s precisely because I finished the exam that I’m happy!”
“Did you pass?”
The joy on Xu Xiaonan’s face was completely undisguised.
“Absolutely no problem. Come over quickly, I’m at the school gate. I’ll treat you to a big meal.”
“Yay! I’ll be right there.”
“Hurry!”
Xu Xiaonan hung up the phone, and soon after, she saw Jiang Huihui jogging over from a distance.
She ran over, excitedly grabbed Jiang Huihui’s hand, and then hugged her with excitement, her joy making her a bit carried away.
“Let go, you’re strangling me,” Jiang Huihui twisted her body, trying to break free from her grasp.
Xu Xiaonan released her, grinning, “Hui Hui, have you gained weight recently? I can barely lift you anymore.”
Jiang Huihui rolled her eyes at her, “Isn’t it because you always tempt me with late-night snacks?”
“What do you want to eat? Pick anything, we’re not holding back today.”
“You’ve talked so much that I don’t even want to eat anymore.”
“Don’t be like that! On such a happy day, we have to have a big meal to celebrate.”
“How about BBQ?”
“Okay, BBQ it is.”
Xu Xiaonan linked arms with Jiang Huihui and walked out of the school.
They boarded a bus, heading to a shopping mall a few kilometers away.
On the bus, Jiang Huihui quietly asked,
“Nan Nan, I remember you said you weren’t confident before the exam. Why do you suddenly think you’ll pass now that it’s over?”
Xu Xiaonan leaned close to her ear, recounting her experience during the exam. Although her voice was low, her tone couldn't hide her excitement.
Because she really passed this exam with the help of a ghost—it was just too cool.
Before the exam, she had wondered if The bixian would appear.
If it did, what method would The bixian use to help her cheat?
But she hadn't guessed correctly.
Even after entering the examination room and waiting for the invigilator to hand out the papers, she still thought The bixian wouldn't come.
But the moment she picked up her pen, her mind became incredibly clear and agile.
It was as if she had divine assistance when she wrote.
The questions she had found very difficult now seemed incredibly simple.
At that moment, her entire being felt as if it was occupied by some mysterious force.
And that force only helped her answer the questions.
“After finishing the exam paper, I still had forty or fifty minutes left, so I re-read my answers.
Some of them, I actually couldn't understand, as if I had suddenly become an idiot.
But I calculated it, and even if I got a few questions wrong, I would definitely score over eighty points, so I’ll definitely pass.”
Jiang Huihui suddenly became worried, lowering her voice, “So, The bixian helped you pass the exam.”
Xu Xiaonan nodded solemnly; she was absolutely certain that this was not her own ability.
The state she was in during this exam was something she had never experienced before.
That feeling was very strange; it must have been that supernatural power.
Recalling that feeling, she felt very excited and wanted to experience it again.
Because it was truly too cool.
“But, if it’s related to The bixian, then what’s the price?
It clearly said it would make you pay a price.”
“It’s fine,” Xu Xiaonan said carelessly, looking out the window, “We’re almost at the stop, it’s time to get off.”
The two went to the back door of the bus, waiting for the vehicle to stop.
Xu Xiaonan continued, “The bixian said it was an equivalent exchange. It’s just an exam, so even if I have to pay something, it should be within my means.
So, it’s fine.”
“Hmm, but, Nan Nan, you still need to be more careful recently.”
“Got it, Mama Hui Hui.”
“Ah—”
Jiang Huihui pinched her.
Just then, the bus slowly stopped, the doors opened, and Xu Xiaonan stepped off.
As soon as she got off, she turned to look at Jiang Huihui, who was about to alight.
Just then, an electric scooter suddenly darted out from the side.
The scooter rider was a woman in her forties, riding very fast, and seeing Xu Xiaonan who had just gotten off, she was suddenly startled.
Not only did she fail to brake in time, but in her panic, she twisted the throttle again.
Just as it was about to hit Xu Xiaonan, Xu Xiaonan instinctively stepped back but tripped, and the electric scooter ran directly over her foot.
The electric scooter and its rider also fell to the ground, landing on top of Xu Xiaonan.
“Ah…”
Xu Xiaonan cried out in pain.
“Nan Nan, are you okay?”
Jiang Huihui frantically rushed off the bus, hurrying to check on Xu Xiaonan.
“It hurts, oh, my foot!”
The expression on Xu Xiaonan’s face was distorted by pain; it was clear that her injury was not light.
The electric scooter rider stood up in a panic, and Jiang Huihui immediately helped the scooter upright, then looked at Xu Xiaonan’s ankle.
Xu Xiaonan’s ankle was already swollen, and the electric scooter had also hit her calf, making the skin on her calf red.
There was something sharp on the electric scooter, which also left a cut on her calf.
Xu Xiaonan endured the pain and looked at the woman who hit her, “How are you riding? You saw someone and still rode so fast!”
The woman was initially flustered but quickly regained her composure.
The woman parked her electric scooter, put her hands on her hips, and looked self-righteous.
“Are you blaming me? How was I supposed to know you’d suddenly get off the bus? You got off without looking, I haven’t even blamed you yet, and I fell too.”
“You hit someone and you’re still in the right? It was clearly because you were riding too fast that you hit me.”
Xu Xiaonan was a bit annoyed and tried to stand up, but a burning pain shot through her ankle.
Jiang Huihui quickly helped her up, “How’s your leg? Do you need to go to the Hospital?”
The woman heard this and immediately shouted, “Don’t pretend! You’re not that delicate. What Hospital? Don’t try to extort money from me!”
Xu Xiaonan was furious and cursed, “Are you shameless? You hit me!”
The woman was also not to be outdone, “You didn’t watch where you were going, you deserve to be run over!”
Jiang Huihui angrily retorted, “You’re going too far! If you weren’t driving so fast, how would you have hit her?”
“I was driving normally; she suddenly got off.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t hit anyone else, I’d hit you. You’re asking for it, who are you blaming?
Young girls, you have no shame at all. I think you’re deliberately trying to stage an accident.”
The woman was completely unreasonable and looked very aggressive.
Xu Xiaonan’s face turned pale with anger; she had never seen such a person.
“Nan Nan, don’t argue with someone like this. Let’s call the police and let them handle it.”
“Yes, call the police,” Xu Xiaonan nodded. She didn’t want to reason with this woman anymore; arguing with such a person would definitely lead nowhere.
Jiang Huihui immediately took out her phone and dialed the police.
“Fine, call the police,” the woman was still a bit guilty, but her arrogance didn't diminish, and she continued,
“You think I’m afraid of you calling the police? Look at how you’re dressed, showing so much, you must be prostitutes. Let’s see who the police arrest then.”
“What are you saying?” Xu Xiaonan was instantly enraged, “You’re the one who’s a prostitute!”
Xu Xiaonan struggled to move forward; if Jiang Huihui hadn't held her back, she probably would have already gone up and fought with that woman.
The woman showed a triumphant expression, “What, did I hit the mark? I’ve seen many like you.
Young age, not learning anything good, going out to sell yourselves, and even trying to stage accidents. Do your parents know you’re like this outside?
To raise trash like you, I don’t think they’re any good either.
…”
The woman ranted endlessly, and the two of them were just students who hadn't yet entered society. Arguing with a shrew, they naturally couldn't win.
At this moment, many people gathered around, watching them, and some were even filming with their phones.
Xu Xiaonan’s face was pale, and she angrily cursed, “What nonsense are you spouting? Are you asking for a beating?!”
“You ill-mannered thing, try to touch me.”
“Go to hell!”
Xu Xiaonan could no longer control the anger in her heart. Enduring the pain in her ankle, she broke free from Jiang Huihui and rushed forward.
“Nan Nan, Nan Nan, don’t be impulsive…”
Before Jiang Huihui could finish speaking, Xu Xiaonan had already pounced and slapped the woman’s face.
Her temper was not good to begin with, and being so wantonly slandered, even having her parents cursed, she could not tolerate it.
“You little bitch, you dare to hit me!”
The woman cursed loudly and started fighting with Xu Xiaonan.
They grabbed each other’s hair, pulling hard.
Soon, both of them fell to the ground.
Jiang Huihui rushed forward, trying to separate the two.
But now, both of them had lost their minds, and she couldn't do anything but secretly kick the woman a few times.
The fight was finally stopped when the police arrived.
