Volume 4: Ouyang's Counterattack Chapter 8: Ouyang's Worries

  The next day, early in the morning, Ouyang Xuan was still drowsy when he was shaken awake by Liu Chuan.

  "Hey, what time is it? Why wake me up?" Ouyang Xuan said irritably without opening his eyes.

  "You lazy pig, have you forgotten one thing? The exam is coming!" Liu Chuan pinched Ouyang Xuan's ear and shouted loudly.

  "Wake up!" Ouyang Xuan suddenly sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes and asked in a daze: "Exam!? What exam!?"

  Liu Chuan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, saying: "I really admire you, ignorance is fearless! The university English level 4 exam is coming up soon, today is Professor Wang's pre-exam test!"

  Ouyang Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "So that's it, no big deal!" 'Thud' He fell down again and started snoring loudly.

  Liu Chuan was furious and shook Ouyang Xuan violently: "Hey, are you still sleeping!? You're really a pig! I told you that you've been running around all day, skipping so many classes. Now the exam is approaching, and you're not even reviewing? Are you trying to die or something?"

  "It's just a level 4 exam, what's there to be afraid of? Can't I sleep for a bit longer?" Ouyang Xuan said impatiently.

  "Alright, you're great. Don't think about copying me during the exam later! If you don't pass, see how Professor Wang deals with you!" Liu Chuan glared and walked away with a huff.

  "How boring!" Ouyang Xuan muttered, and then fell asleep again with his head covered.

  Before long, the alarm clock rang - it was half past six.

  Ouyang Xuan jumped up, stretched his waist, lazily tidied himself up, changed into a clean casual outfit, and walked downstairs with ease.

  "Ouyang!" Just as he stepped out of the stairway, a pleasant female voice came over.

  Ouyang Xun followed the momentum and looked up, his head suddenly bigger - Situ Jing!

  "Hey, what's wrong with you? Can't you see I'm here?!" Ouyang Xuan's face was a bit dazed, and Situ Jing said unhappily.

  "Delighted, delighted, seeing an old acquaintance, how can one not be delighted?!" Ouyang Xuan forced a half-smile.

  "Hmph, look at your silly face, I knew you were insincere. But Miss is magnanimous, so I'll forgive you. Come with me to have breakfast!" After saying that, Situ Jing warmly pulled Ouyang Xuan along as they walked off.

  "Wait," Ouyang Xuan hastily raised his hand, bitterly saying: "I'm telling you, miss, I have an exam today, where do I have the time to idly accompany you for breakfast? Have mercy on me!"

  "Exam!? Who are you kidding? Look at how relaxed you look, does that look like someone who's about to take an exam!?" Siu Jing said with a skeptical face.

  "Yes, now it's only half a month before the College English Test Band 4. If we don't pass, we won't be allowed to graduate, so today Professor Wang wants to hold a mock test!" Ouyang Xuan quickly took out his shield.

  "Really!?" Xīu Jìng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "That's okay, just look at your lazy demeanor, I can tell your English is definitely not good. But my English is top-notch, the best of the best! If you accompany me to dinner, I'll graciously tutor you, how about that?"

  "Do you need to be so enthusiastic?" Ou Yang Xuan was stunned.

  "What? Are you saying I'm overthinking it!?" Xīu Jìng's sweet and beautiful face suddenly turned gloomy.

  "I didn't say that!" Ouyang Xuan was most afraid of seeing a woman's angry face, and immediately became flustered.

  "That's it, let's go. You have to eat breakfast anyway." Ci Tu Jing didn't say another word and dragged Ouyang Xuan away.

  The two had just walked less than ten steps when a pleasant female voice came again: "Ouyang!"

  Ouyang Xuan took one look and suddenly had three heads: Heaven, it's Huangfu Yiling! Is today a day of great calamity?!

  "Lingling, is that you!" Ouyang Xuan forced a smile, his face looking very unsightly.

  Huangfu Yiling also saw Situ Jing at this time, and her face changed slightly. She pretended not to have seen him and continued to speak gently to Ouyang Xuan: "Ouyang, are you confident about the English exam today? If not, I can help you highlight some key points, and you can make a last-minute effort, maybe it'll be useful!"

  "No, never mind, I'll just take a look myself!" Ouyang Xuan looked at Huangfu Yiling's nonchalant expression and felt even more anxious.

  "Oh, right, who is this classmate?" It wasn't until now that Huangfu Yiling seemed to have discovered Situ Jing's existence, and she looked at Ouyang Xuan and asked.

  "Hmm, this is... is..." Ouyang Xuan muttered and murmured for half a day without making any sense.

  "Huangfu sister, I'm Citu Jing, a SZ person, and Ouyang is my fellow villager. We just met two days ago when Ouyang came back!" Citu Jing carefully sized up Huangfu Yiling, then suddenly extended her hand.

  "Hello!" Huangfu Yiling calmly stretched out her hand and shook hands with Situ Jing.

  But Ouyang Xuan could see that both women's eyes were filled with deep vigilance and hostility!

  "Hmm, you guys chat, I'll slip away first!" Ouyang Xuan saw the situation was not good, made a sound, and wanted to make a quick exit.

  "No way!" Huangfu Yiling's hands were quick, and she pulled Ou Yangxuan back, smiling gently: "You haven't had a meal with me for many days, today you have to accompany me for breakfast!" As she spoke, she intentionally glanced at Sutu Jing.

  "Alright, alright!" Ouyang Xuan saw that he couldn't escape and could only helplessly nod his head.

  Situ Jing's face changed color, and he forced a smile: "Alright, Ouyang, I won't disturb you two anymore. See you next time!" He turned around and left.

  It can be imagined that when Sit Jing turned around, her face must have looked very ugly!

  "Let's go!" Huangfu Yiling pulled on Ouyang Xuan's arm, slightly jealous and pinched him.

  "Alright, alright! Let's go!" Ouyang Xuan was in a terrible headache and hastily obeyed.

  "By the way, how did you get to know such a beautiful woman?" asked Huang Fu Yiling casually as she walked.

  "Hmm, I met her on the train back from SZ! She was so grateful that I helped her with a small favor along the way, now she wants to treat me to meals every day. Haha, it's totally unnecessary!" Ou Yang Xuan chuckled.

  "Is that so? I heard that this Si Tu Jing is one of the top ten beauties of our QH University, with a high vision. What did you do to help her, making her so enthusiastic towards you?" Huang Fu Yi Ling asked indifferently.

  Ouyang Xuan knew she was jealous, and at this time, she was so annoyed that she wanted to find a piece of tofu and knock herself to death. She smiled bitterly: "It's just someone making trouble as usual, I'll take care of it for the sake of our hometown relationship! Haha, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

  "Is that so, it's a heroic rescue of a beauty! It's really touching!" Huangfu Yiling glanced at Ouyang Xuan and smiled: "Ouyang, are you showing off whenever you see a beautiful woman, just like when you compared with Tianzhong Hong that day?"

  Ouyang Xuan immediately opened his mouth wide, and after a long while, he stammered: "Lingling, don't misunderstand, okay? I have nothing to do with her!"

  "That's not necessarily the case, I can see that she has a great affection for you. I just don't believe that such a beautiful woman would pursue you and you'd be unmoved!" Huang Fu Yi Ling's tone was sour, but her face remained gentle as water.

  Ouyang Xuan was really annoyed, his stubborn temper flared up again, and his face changed in an instant. He said coldly: "I've told you before, I don't have anything to do with her! Only you would treat this wooden head as a treasure, others may not be interested! You can believe it or not!" After finishing speaking, Ouyang Xuan broke free from Huangfu Yiling's arm and walked away quickly.

  Huangfu Yiling saw Ouyang Xuan get angry, and she was taken aback for a moment. But then her face suddenly lit up with a happy smile. She quickly ran a few steps to catch up with Ouyang Xuan, grabbed his arm tightly, and laughed: "Ouyang, don't be angry! I was just joking with you. I know you're not the kind of person who would two-time someone. How about we laugh it off and go eat? I promise, from now on, I won't mention her again!"

  Ouyang Xuan was taken aback, thinking to himself: "This woman is really hard to figure out, she actually becomes happy when I scold her! Ugh, annoying! Being single is better, being single has no worries!"

  He didn't quite understand: sometimes a man's over-tolerance towards women would make them think he had ulterior motives, while being rough and arrogant would make them more likely to believe him.

  Alas, this is a woman, always so hard to fathom!

  The exam has started, and the room is quiet, with everyone lowering their heads to work on the test papers, without a single person raising their head to look around.

  Ouyang Xuan took a look at the test paper and it seemed easy, so he picked up his pen and started doing it with his head down.

  Actually, with Ouyang Xuan's current memory, he can basically memorize at a glance, which is a rare talent among ordinary people. Dealing with this trivial four-level exam is naturally not a problem.

  As expected, Ou Yang Xuan's pen moved swiftly and steadily, without stopping for a moment. In less than half an hour, he had already completed the entire test paper.

  Looking at others, it seemed that most of them had only done half of the work. Ouyang Xuan smiled and, not having the habit of checking his papers, he handed in his paper with a flourish, amidst the astonished gazes of Professor Wang and his classmates.

  As he stepped out of the classroom, Ouyang Xuan stretched his limbs and estimated that he would score around 90 points or so, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

  Suddenly, a man in a black suit walked straight towards him from a distance, slightly bowing his head and respectfully asked: "Is that Mr. Ouyang?"

  It's the Japanese again! Ouyang Xuan's head hurts, why are these days one trouble after another, did he step on dog shit or run into bad luck?! He coldly said: "It's me, and I was sent by Tanaka Koji!"

  "Yes, Mr. Ouyang didn't expect you to defeat a master like Sanki Toshio, and he has great admiration for you. So tonight, he'd like to invite you to his humble abode for a chat. Would you do him the honor?" The visitor said with neither arrogance nor humility.

  "What if I don't go?" Ouyang Xuan said calmly.

  The newcomer didn't get angry, but smiled: "Young Master Heng said it's best to solve the trouble as soon as possible. Mr. Ouyang wouldn't want to drag it out for too long, would he? Perhaps this will also implicate others!"

  Ouyang Xuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said fiercely: "Good, then you go back and tell Tanaka Koji: Ouyang is very angry, ready to punch his dog face, let him wait!"

  The man was stunned and handed over an invitation card, smiling: "Mr. Ouyang is willing to give me face, that's great, this is the invitation, I'll take my leave!"

  Ouyang Xuan took the invitation card and looked at it coldly, saying: "I won't attend!"

  The newcomer bowed again and turned away.

  Ouyang Xuan's eyes began to burn with anger, facing these shameless Japanese people, he was really furious!
