Chapter 46: Chapter 43 She Forgot About It
“What made you think of contracting with the Cotton Caterpillar?” Qiao Sang asked.
“I want to evolve it into a Paxue Butterfly; it’s super gorgeous.” Fang Sisi said as she took out her phone to search for a picture of the Paxue Butterfly to show Qiao Sang.
“I know, but to evolve it into a Paxue Butterfly you have to take it to the Beilun Region, right?” Qiao Sang said.
The Beilun Region was not exactly close to their Yuhua Region.
The Cotton Caterpillar currently had five known evolutionary forms, among which the Paxue Butterfly required a specific environnt to evolve.
The Beilun Region was that requisite environnt.
“No need, I’ve specifically asked a Breeder about it, it only needs to stay in an environnt of minus 40 degrees Celsius for an hour. When the ti cos, I’ll hire an Ice-Type Pet Beast to create the environnt,” Fang Sisi explained.
Seeing that Fang Sisi had thought everything through, Qiao Sang nodded and asked the obligatory post-exam question, “How did you do on the test?”
Fang Sisi shrugged helplessly, “304 points. I can only go to a vocational high school now.”
Before Qiao Sang could think of words of comfort, Fang Sisi countered with a question, “How about you?”
“359 points,” Qiao Sang replied.
“Really?” Fang Sisi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“I’ll show you the report card when it cos out,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
Before Fang Sisi had the chance to respond, suddenly there was a stir within the class.
It turned out to be Qin Shou entering with his Laosi.
When Qiao Sang entered with her Fire-Toothed Dog, everyone had opted to observe from a distance, knowing full well that a Fire Attribute Beast was ill-tempered and it wasn’t wise to get too close.
But Laosi’s temperant was a mystery to them, and just knowing that it was a rare foreign Pet Beast was enough to get them excited.
Looking over, Qiao Sang saw Qin Shou being tightly surrounded by a crowd in the classroom. It wasn’t just Laosi that was hidden from view, even Qin Shou himself was blocked off solidly.
Guo Linze, who previously had spoken with such envy, also rushed over, “Shou bro! Shou bro! Let
have a look!”
This commotion lasted for a good ten minutes until the horoom teacher entered, and everyone finally cald down and returned to their seats.
Only then did Qiao Sang get a clear view of Laosi.
About 80 centiters tall, with two bull horns on its head, a pair of light red eyes edged with fin-shaped markings that resembled eyeshadow, it was trembling slightly, huddled in Qin Shou’s arms as if it had just been frightened by everyone.
The horoom teacher was now distributing the report cards.
“Where’s Xie Jiayi?” Qiao Sang inquired.
Xie Jiayi was Fang Sisi’s desk-mate, who last ti had wanted everyone to try for admission to Haomu Beast Tar High School together.
Fang Sisi glanced at the empty desk in front, then whispered, turning her head, “You weren’t here on the day of the brain awakening, so you don’t know. Xie Jiayi’s brain awakening failed.”
Qiao Sang was stunned for a mont and did not speak.
Each year, only 73% of the students succeeded in brain awakening during the exams, with 27% unable to awaken. This ratio, when distributed among all the schools, made it unsurprising that there were a few in their class who had not successfully awakened.
Both of Xie Jiayi’s parents were Beast Tars, so logically, her chances of awakening should have been high. The failure must have been a heavy blow to her.
But reality is sotis so capricious; like Dai Shushu, as a child of ordinary people, being able to awaken on her own was a success, while Xie Jiayi, the child of Beast Tars, failed the brain awakening.
Soon the horoom teacher called for Qiao Sang.
When she went up to get her report card, she tugged and found that it did not co free.
Qiao Sang looked up, puzzled, at the horoom teacher.
He was all smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum, his wig trembling with his laughter. Then he positioned her to face the students and announced loudly, “Let
tell you so news, our classmate Qiao Sang, through diligent study and hard work, did not disappoint! She has been accepted to Shengshui Middle School!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole class was in shock.
Diligent study? Hard work?
The sa Qiao Sang who usually slept in class, failed exams, and had lately been absent from school?
They had never expected anything from Qiao Sang before.
And Shengshui Middle School?
Who?
That student who’s always ranked third from the bottom in the class?!
Qiao Sang: “???”
…
Qingcheng Jiayuan.
When Qiao Sang returned ho, she felt exhausted both ntally and physically.
Her mother was humming a tune in her own room.
Qiao Sang pushed open her mother’s bedroom door and saw clothes, bags, and shoes scattered all over the bed and floor.
“You’re back, great, co and help
choose which outfit looks nice,” her mother said with a smile.
“Mom, what’s the occasion?” Qiao Sang got distracted from why she had co as she looked around the room.
“Go on with you, talking nonsense. Didn’t you get into Shengshui Middle School? I’ve invited so people to go to Yu Jing Hotel for a al the day after tomorrow. Which outfit do you think I should wear then?” her mother explained.
Qiao Sang: “…”
“Mom, isn’t this a bit too much?”
“How is it too much? It’s not every day we get to hold our heads high like this. Of course, we should have a banquet to celebrate. By the way, I’m also going to hang a banner. What do you think would be best to write on it?” her mother asked as she tried on clothes in front of the mirror.
With no other choice, Qiao Sang felt she knew the answer but still sought confirmation, “Did you tell my horoom teacher about
getting into Shengshui Middle School?”
“Of course I did. Don’t I have to call and properly thank your horoom teacher for getting your grades up in the final stage? I’ve also invited him over for the al the day after tomorrow,” her mother admitted.
What could Qiao Sang say? Of course, as long as her mother was happy, that was good enough.
But her mother had been incredibly efficient; it felt like she’d called everyone she knew…
For the following ti, Qiao Sang stayed to help her mother choose clothes. After a lot of mixing and matching, they ultimately settled on a dress that matched the Fire-Toothed Dog’s fur color, thanks to its decisive swipe.
In the afternoon, while her mother went to get beautified, Qiao Sang took her report card and rode the subway to Shengshui Middle School to confirm her enrollnt.
Getting into Shengshui Middle School was officially settled.
…
…
June 26th.
Yu Jing Hotel.
“Qiao Sang, co here, this is your Aunt Pingping. She used to hold you when you were a child,” her mother, in a red dress with her hair done up exquisitely, beckoned Qiao Sang over.
“Hello, Auntie,” Qiao Sang said politely.
Qiao Sang was dressed the sa as usual, but the Fire-Toothed Dog she was holding had been spruced up a bit.
Its fla-like fur had been carefully grood, a black bow tie fitting for a gentleman was placed around its neck, and matching black sunglasses were coolly perched on its face, giving off a very dashing appearance.
“Qiao Sang has grown up so much,” Aunt Pingping said to Qiao Sang, but her eyes kept being drawn to the Fire-Toothed Dog.
Before they had talked much more, Qiao Sang was already being pulled by her mother to another table, where she found soone she knew.
“Hello, teacher,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
“Ah, Qiao Sang, from the very beginning I felt that you were cut out for academics. Of all the students I’ve taught over the years, you were the only one to awaken on your own. You did not disappoint and made it into the best high school in Hangkang,” the old teacher stood up and spoke cheerily.
Before Qiao Sang could reply, her mother butted in, “Nonsense, it’s all thanks to your great teaching. She even got a zero not too long ago, and if you hadn’t given up on her, put in the effort, how could she have scored so well on the exam?”
“Not at all, it was her own diligent studying that improved her scores,” the teacher modestly replied.
“You’re too modest, teacher. Without your strict guidance, how could she have improved?”
“Let’s not talk like that. She took leave for almost two weeks, how could I have pushed her studies?”
The air suddenly grew still.
A few seconds later, her mother turned to Qiao Sang and asked, “Took leave… for two weeks?”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Damn, she’d forgotten about that!
