Chapter 11 – Interview (1/2)

Day 1……

Day 2……

Day 3……

Some days passed.

As Dong Xuebing had gotten good results from using Back during the test, he did not waste this special power these few days. He experimented with this power every day to see what else he got use it for. He decided to use this power to change his current life. He wants to get out of poverty. This was the reason why he needs to be familiar with all the uses of Back.

After experimenting for a few times, he found out something.

The results of his experiments: First, when he was chatting with someone and said or thought of the words like “Back” or “Return,” there will not be any effect. It was only when he consciously wanted time to return back to 1 minute ago, and he said the words “Back,” “Return,” “Reverse,” etc. then it will work.

Second, Back might indeed be an “unlimited” power. When the clock struck 00:00 hrs and started a new day, he will be able to use the power without fail. But Dong Xuebing did not test if he used Back 2 seconds after midnight and returned to the previous day, 11:59 hours, will he get to use Back again when it reaches the next day.

Third, Dong Xuebing was still not accustomed to the time changes from the time he uses Back and after he uses Back. It was okay if he was sitting. But if he was walking, speaking, or making some movements, when using Back, he was not able to react when the time returns. He might trip or unable to continue talking. He made a reminder to himself to be careful when using his power. He does not want to trip and fall in the middle of the road and then die from a traffic accident again.

Of course, after practicing for so many days, Dong Xuebing had gotten used to using Back, and not every time he will trip.

On the other hand.

Dong Xuebing’s mother and Aunt Xuan tried to cheer him up by avoiding talking about the Civil Servant Entry Test. They tried to say some happy topics in their conversations to distract him.

“Haha, Xiao Bing, look at that hippo on TV. Why is it so ugly?”

“That’s right. But the hippo is still cute…. Hahaha.”

“Eh, I have never seen that type of parrots. There are so many species of birds in Africa.”

Looking at his mother and Aunt Xuan trying to cheer him up, Dong Xuebing could only smile. “Mum, Aunt Xuan, I will go and study now. You two carry on watching TV.”

Dong Xuebing’s mother looked at her son worryingly: “The National Civil Servant Exams is still far away. You should have a break. Don’t tire yourself.”

Dong Xuebing nodded.

Qu Yunxuan uncrossed her leg and stroked the back of Dong Xuebing’s head. “You have been hiding in your room for so many days. This is not right. Come and watch this documentary with me. It is dinner time soon. I will cook personally today. Tell me, what do you want to eat?”

“Ok, ok.” Dong Xuebing replied while sneaking a peek at her cleavage from her loose top.

Ring, ring, ring. Dong Xuebing’s handphone rang.
