Chapter 4 – I must pass the tes (1/2)

Next day.

Morning.

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.
