"Xia Xu, I've already confirmed it with the police, so your absence from class this morning can be counted as a normal leave."
In the evening, Xia Xu, who had packed his things and was about to leave the classroom, happened to bump into Liu Xiulan who was passing by in the corridor.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Liu."
Xia Xu nodded slightly when he heard this.
"The monthly exam will be held next Monday. Don't forget what you promised me."
Liu Xiulan just passed by in a hurry, but before leaving she suddenly stopped and looked back to give instructions.
"... No way, Mr. Liu, you still remember this?"
Xia Xu was stunned, and then his face fell instantly.
Liu Xiulan was probably referring to the fact that she failed the last monthly exam. She said last time that if she failed again this time, she would have to call the parents.
Originally, this should have been the form of threat that he was least afraid of since he started out living in a dilapidated house and his parents had already passed away.
But Liu Xiulan didn't play by the rules... She wanted to invite Tang Youxin's parents, so she had him under control.
If this matter of harming a little girl was reported to the parents, even if he is an adult, he would feel a bit socially dead and naturally could not accept such a bad situation.
"Since you have reformed, you should work hard. If you can catch up in English so quickly, then you can do the same in other subjects. Review well and at least try to pass all of them first."
Liu Xiulan patted Xia Xu's shoulder with a smile: "Teacher is a man of his word. As long as you pass all the subjects this time, I won't notify your parents."
In other words, if you fail, you will definitely be notified.
Xia Xu understood Liu Xiulan's subtext and sighed helplessly.
It's all because of pretending to be cool.
If he hadn't pretended like that just now, Liu Xiulan, who had no hope for his grades, might have just treated it as a joke.
"I don't know if the plot of Super Brain has started yet."
After leaving the school gate, Xia Xu took a taxi and continued to Qingteng Primary School.
Uncle Luo called him before and told him that Louise had to go back to class this afternoon, so he asked him to pick her up in the evening.
He has taken on all the work of picking up Louise recently, mainly to take a look at the plot of "Super Brain". Although Yang Bowen has also been keeping an eye on Catherine, he does not have his ability to check the attribute panel, so he cannot distinguish the characters even if they are in the plot.
"Old Yang, is there anything unusual?"
After getting off the car in front of Qingteng Primary School, Xia Xu went to the security booth at the school gate and knocked.
The person in the security booth was undoubtedly Yang Bowen.
He has now fully utilized his talents. I don't know how he managed to get into this international primary school and work as a security guard at the school gate within two days after he was given this task last time.
"No, boss. The foreign woman you mentioned lives in the school cafeteria and dormitory. She has to attend classes and rarely leaves the school. No one comes to see her."
Lao Yang looked around vigilantly and only answered after making sure that no one was close.
"Okay, you continue to watch and notify me immediately if there is anything unusual. Don't put yourself in danger."
Xia Xu nodded helplessly.
Whether it was the countdown to the college entrance examination that was getting shorter and shorter or Liu Xiulan's words today, whether they were a joke or serious, they both made him feel more urgency.
In fact, he felt that he was under more pressure now than when he was trapped in the plot of "Hunter".
Although he sensed danger when the plot of "Hunter" began, there were still official sources of help that he could seek, and later he met Uncle Luo. These were pillars of confidence and reliance, and his goal was also clear: he just had to try his best to remain calm and increase Uncle Luo's favorability.
But he was really at a loss when it came to his academic performance. He didn't even have the hope or direction to work hard.
He had been reviewing on his own recently and had a clear idea of his progress.
It's possible to cope with the monthly exam next week, but if it's the college entrance examination, even if you hire a few famous tutors to do intensive tutoring, it will not be possible to get a score into a key university in just one or two months.
If you can't get into a key university, you will lose a lot of conveniences and connections, and you won't be able to experience the sweet university life with your girlfriend. If you have to suffer such regrets after having a hard time starting over, then you are a failure.
There is a glimmer of hope in the plot of "Super Brain" to obtain some related black technology, but now Catherine is just a supporting role, and even the introduction to the plot at the beginning cannot be unlocked. It is still uncertain whether it is the plot he guessed, and it is unknown how long it will take for the plot to begin.
"Ato, let's go."
While waiting for the elementary school to finish school, Xia Xu picked up Louise and met Catherine.
The properties panel remains unchanged.
He had no choice but to call Atuo and return disappointed.
However, after shouting twice, he found that Atuo did not come over. He was squatting not far away, staring at a big tree.
"Ato, what's wrong?"
Xia Xu held Louise in his arms, squatted beside Atuo, and looked in the direction Atuo was looking.
It was already dark at this moment, and the leafy camphor tree looked a little hazy under the dim light at this moment, with only the lower half of the trunk painted white being particularly conspicuous.
But Atuo's line of sight was from bottom to top, looking up at the tree canopy composed of dense leaves.
Knowing Atuo's intelligence and loyalty well, Xia Xu believed that he would never do anything without a purpose.
"View properties."
With an idea in mind, he used the attributes to check the dark treetops.

"Meow!"
The shrill cry of a frightened cat and the sound of rustling leaves echoed for a while and slowly faded away.
"You don't want to eat cats, do you? Stupid dog, you can't just eat cats. They might be raised by someone else. Go, go, go home."
Xia Xu calmly withdrew his gaze, cursed with a smile, used one hand to slap Atuo on the back of the head, then turned around and left, holding his hand.
I really left and hailed a car and went home.
After all, Louise is here, so he can't take any risks.
Uncle Luo would definitely go crazy if anything happened to this girl. There was also Louise's mother who was said to be coming, and the Bear Country mercenary Canary who could fight with Uncle Luo in every sense. If anything happened to Louise in his hands, she would probably tear him apart alive.
"You're back? Is everything alright?"
Luo Hongyun seemed to notice that there was something wrong with Xia Xu's expression.
"It's okay, just a little problem."
Xia Xu shook his head.
Luo Hongyun nodded slightly when he heard this: "Remember to tell me if you need help."
"You said it, Uncle Luo, I won't be polite when you take action."
Xia Xu smiled.
Favorability: 100
This is a number that has remained stable from yesterday until now.
