The scorching summer sun was covered by dark clouds . It was a gloomy day, and it felt cooler than the previous few days .
Dong Xuebing woke up and remembered that his underwear and socks were still at Aunt Xuan’s house . He felt uncomfortable and hurriedly went to unit 302 to press on the doorbell . Aunt Xuan was the woman he secretly admired, and he wanted to show her the best side of him . He did not want her to see his underwear and smelly socks . If he had known about this, he would fight with his life to stop Aunt Xuan from taking away all the dirty laundry . He was hoping that Aunt Xuan still had not washed those clothes .
Clicked . The door opened . “Oh, it’s Xiao Bing . I am just about to go to work . Come in . ”
Qu Yunxuan was staying alone, and her house has a pleasant smell . It was the smell of a single woman’s room . The living room was neat and clean . There was not even a spark of dirt on the windows . Dong Xuebing entered the house and embarrassedly rubbed his nose . He was blushing: “Ermmm, my clothes……”
Qu Yunxuan was bending over to wear her socks and heels . She looked up and laughed . She pointed towards the washroom with her chin: “Your clothes are hanging in the washroom . I had washed them yesterday, and it might still be wet . What’s wrong? Are you in a hurry to wear those clothes? You need me to help you dry the clothes with a hairdryer?” She was squatting down on one leg, and the other was rise higher, showing a gap between her legs in the office skirt .
Dong Xuebing faced turned redder: “Ah… No need . I will bring my clothes back to dry them . Thank you . ”
Qu Yunxuan rolled her eyes: “Do you need to be so formal with me? If we want to talk about thanking, I should be the one who should be thanking you . ”
Qu Yunxuan was standing outside the restroom while Dong Xuebing rushed in to collect his clothes . His t-shirt and pants were hanging on a rack, and his underwear and socks were hanging from a hanger behind . Dong Xuebing immediately grab all his clothes . He could imagine Qu Yunxuan’s soft hands scrubbing his underwear . He felt embarrassed .
Dong Xuebing had lost focus, and he only wanted to quickly return home with his clothes . Suddenly, he realized he was holding on to a skin-colored lacy panty . Damn! I took the wrong one . This was not my underwear . Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead . He had taken Qu Yunxuan’s underwear by mistake . His hand was shaking as he held the lacy underwear in his hand . He was excited and nervous . He could feel the soft and wet material of the underwear . He looked at the underwear closely .
This was Qu Yunxuan’s underwear……
It was so beautiful……
When Dong Xuebing was still in a daze, staring at the lacy underwear, a head appeared at the door of the washroom . “Hurry up and take your clothes . I need to leave for my work… . . . ” Before the sentence was finished, Qu Yunxuan saw Dong Xuebing holding her underwear, and she blushed .
Dong Xuebing almost fainted . His first reaction was to throw the underwear into the washing machine . “Aunt Xuan, it is not what you are thinking .
Qu Yunxuan was giving him a look and did not say anything .
That’s it . Dong Xuebing knew his good impressions he had left with Aunt Xuan was gone . He tried to explain: “It is really not what you are thinking . I had grabbed the wrong……” He could not give a good explanation . He suddenly remembered that he still had not used his time control today . He immediately shouted: “BACK!”
……
Sceneries were flying .
The next moment, Dong Xuebing saw his outstretched hand in mid-air . He was about to grab that skin colored underwear from the metal hanger .
This was precisely what happened one minute ago .
He had successfully turn back the time again .
He immediately stopped his hand/ He was relieved and grabbed his clothes before walking out of the washroom . “Aunt Xuan, I am going back now . ”
Qu Yunxuan laughed: “If you have dirty laundry in the future, pass it to me . I will help you wash . ”
Phwee… . So close .
When Dong Xuebing returned home, he tried to use Back a few more times but was unsuccessful .
It seems that he could only use this power once a day .
Alright! I am going to be rich!
Breakfast was the leftover porridge from last night’s dinner, an egg and a small plate of preserved vegetables . Recently, the price of eggs had increased . Dong Xuebing and his mother do not bear to eat eggs for some days . Dong Xuebing was swallowing his saliva as he carefully peels the shells off the egg .
“Mrs . Xu might be dropping by later . ” Dong Xuebing’s mother said . “How is your revision for the Civil Servant test?”
“So-so . ” Dong Xuebing’s good mood was all gone . He sighed: “I don’t think I will do well . You also know that I have never been good with my studies . ” After graduating from the University, Dong Xuebing had not been working . One reason was that he needs to prepare for the Civil Servant test . Another reason was he had graduated from an average school . His results were also average . The chances of him passing and becoming a civil servant were very slim . It can be considered almost impossible .
“It’s fine . If you did not pass this time, there is always the next time . If you really can’t enter the government agencies, then just get a job in the meantime . ” Dong Xuebing’s mother held his hand . “You will surely pass it one day . ”
Facing the expectations of his mother, Dong Xuebing could feel the stress . “I…… I will try my best . ”
Sighed… . Civil Servant .
Nowadays, there was fierce competition in the government service . Can he really enter the government service? No matter how Dong Xuebing thinks, he felt it was impossible . He knew his chances were very slim . His university classmates, who had better scores and smarter than him, could not even pass the test . Other than the written test, there was still an interview . Also if one had passed both the test and interview, the department that was being applied would take only one person . The chances for one to be selected was extremely slim .
Knock, knock, knock . Someone was knocking on the door .
Dong Xuebing’s mother immediately grabbed him over to the door . Two people were standing at the door . One was a woman in her 40s, and the other was a bespectacled young man in his 20s . They were Dong Xuebing’s neighbors, Mrs . Xu and her son, Xiao Dong . Behind them, a middle-aged man was walking down from the fourth floor . He had a big belly and looked at some leaders .
Dong Xuebing’s mother saw him and immediately greeted that man: “Section Chief Xu, are you going to work?”
Dong Xuebing also greeted them: “Mr . and Mrs . Xu . ”
Section Chief Xu had an air of arrogance . He nodded and continued walking down the stairs without saying a single word .
Mrs . Xu shouted to Section Chief Xu from his back: “Your son’s test is nearing . Remember to come home early tonight . We will be eating out . ”
Section Chief Xu and Mrs . Xu were husband and wife . He had been recently promoted and was now a section chief at the customs . It was not sure if he was a deputy section chief or the section chief . But he had been doing well in his job . However, Dong Xuebing does not like this family . Especially that Section Chief Xu . He seems to be used to ordering people around and very arrogant . He had never looked at people in the eyes . His eyes seem to be on top of his head .
When Dong Xuebing’s mother let Mrs . Xu and her son enter the house, Dong Xuebing heard one of his neighbor greeting Section Chief Xu downstairs .
“Oh, Section Chief Xu, why are you so early today?”
“Chief Xu, thank you for your help . Can I have the honor to treat you today?”
Someone was bootlicking him .
Dong Xuebing was thinking in his heart . Being a government official was good . If only I could be a civil servant .
After closing the door, Dong Xuebing returned to the living room . His mother had taken out their best tea leaves in the house . She poured two cups of tea for Mrs . Xu and Xiao Dong . But these “best tea leaves” were only the best for him and his mother . Mrs . Xu and her son do not think so . Mrs . Xu took a sip and frowned . She placed the tea back on the table and never touch it again . “Xiao Ping, I heard that your son will also be taking the test on the 15th? Is he confident of passing?”
Dong Xuebing’s mother pulled him over and sighed: “I do not have high hopes . How about Xiao Dong?”
Xiao Dong pushed his spectacles . He was holding on to the revision materials and did not say a word . He was also very arrogant like his father .
Mrs . Xu laughed proudly: “Xiao Dong will surely pass . Last year’s national exams he did not put in his best . The essay questions were too simple, and he could not show his true capabilities . He had been studying seriously this year . It should not be a problem for him to be among the top . ” After pausing a while, Mrs . Xu lowered her voice and proudly said: “I will just tell you and no one else . His father had made arrangements with the Customs . As long as Xiao Dong can pass the interview, the customs will recruit him . ”
“That’s good . Your son will have a bright future . ” Dong Xuebing’s mother enviously said . She moved closer to Mrs . Xu and asked: “If Xiao Dong is not busy, can he help Xiao Bing with his revision?”
Xiao Dong did not want to come over with his mother . When he heard Dong Xuebing’s mother request, he immediately said rudely: “Mum, I do not have the time . ”
Dong Xuebing saw him speaking so rudely to his mother, he got furious: “You think I have the time for you?”
Dong Xuebing’s mother became nervous and gave Dong Xuebing a light push with her elbow: “What’s wrong with you? Can’t you be nice to others?”
The mood in the room was awkward . Mrs . Xu laughed softly and said: “Actually, there is no need for Xiao Bing to enter take the civil servant test so urgently . I know many graduates started work outside for a few years before taking the test . With the experiences they accumulated when working, it will help them with the test . How can someone without experiences pass the test? Look at how many graduates are recruited into the Civil Service? The percentage is lesser than 0 . 1% . ”
Dong Xuebing’s mother smiled and did not say a word .
Dong Xuebing was thinking in his heart . Are you looking down on me? How do you know I cannot pass the test?
He could tell that Mrs . Xu had brought her son over to show off .
Half an hour later, Mrs . Xu left with her son . Before leaving the house, Xiao Dong looked at Dong Xuebing coldly and then left . To him, he felt that Dong Xuebing’s family was too poor and he was just a loser . Dong Xuebing might even have problems securing a job . These were the people who were destined to be at the lowest level of society for their whole life . This person was not worth his time .
Noon .
Dong Xuebing’s mother went back to her room for a nap, while Dong Xuebing was looking through a stack of past year essay questions in the living room . He was doing his best to prepare for the test . But after studying for a while, he knew that there was no way he could pass the test . He might not even reach the minimum score . He was wasting his time revising .
The sound came from inside the house, but Dong Xuebing could not make out what that person was saying .
Dong Xuebing followed the sounds, and it was coming from the bedroom . He slowly turned the doorknob and opened a slit .
He saw his mother holding on to his father’s black and white photograph . She was crying silently . “Why her son gets to enter the government service and my son can’t? Dear, you must watch over our son and help him pass the test . If our son can enter the government service, I…… I don’t mind giving up a few years of my life . ”
“Mum……” Dong Xuebing opened the door and walked in .
Dong Xuebing’s mother saw her son had caught her crying again and she quickly wiped her tears: “I am fine . Don’t worry . ”
Standing in front of his mother, Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth and said: “You do not need to worry . I will surely pass the test even if it cost my life!” Seeing how sad his mother was, Dong Xuebing was determined to pass the test . Why other people’s families were all government officials and their children can also be government officials, and he has to be a commoner? He could not even afford to give his mother a better life?
I also have a head on my shoulders like others . In what way am I inferior to them?
Dong Xuebing must pass the test and become a civil servant .
This time, Dong Xuebing was determined to prove himself and make his mother proud!
