Deep in the Living

Chapter 53 Eve
The day before the start of school, cloudy, 27℃

[Resettlement Community No. 1]

This is one of the earliest residential communities built for ordinary residents in Jupiter City, and it has a history of nearly 30 years.

Number 13, where Roddy lives, is even older. Many buildings have been labeled as being about to be demolished due to stability issues, and few people live here anymore.

Room 502, Building

There are two bedrooms and a living room, with a simple layout. All the furniture is old and outdated, but the hygiene here is very clean.

The birdcage that should have been hanging in the house was empty, with no sign of the bird.

Midnight midnight,

All the lights in the house were turned off, and the only lighting provided by the house was the street lights outside.

A woman in her forties was sitting in front of the dressing table in the master bedroom, with some expensive cosmetics that were not suitable for this home placed on the table.

It's time to go to bed, but she is putting on makeup.

She was applying some kind of dust and pulling at her face with her fingers.

As the current makeup was about to end, waves of gentle motherly voices came out of her mouth, and it was not even possible to see the movement of her mouth.

"Wen Ya, you should go to bed early, because tomorrow is the most important entrance examination.

All our family's hopes are on you. You must perform exceptionally well, otherwise all of your efforts over the past decade will be in vain... I gave birth to a useless person like you in vain."

The woman's voice went straight to the second bedroom next door, which had the door open, but received no response.

The woman then began to use tweezers to clean the nose hair and foreign objects in the mouth.

“I’m sorry, my baby girl.

What mom said just now was too harsh. I shouldn’t have put so much pressure on you.

I should have known that you wouldn't be any better off with such a useless father. You must have the same bad habits as him, which is why your grades have not improved.

Don't worry, just take the test tomorrow. It doesn't matter how you do. Mom will always love you."

There was still no response from the next room.

The woman took out the razor again and shaved the hair on her thighs and underarms. Her tone changed again, becoming stern and resolute:
“Mom has decided that since you are a complete waste, there is no need to embarrass yourself.

Mom, I will do the entrance exam for you tomorrow. By the way, I will pick out an excellent student from your school who has no bad habits as a gift for you.

Then you can be your mother’s baby again.”

The camera gradually pulls out of the master bedroom and pans to the second bedroom which has not responded.

Peeping in through the slightly opened door,

A girl in the uniform of No. 4 Middle School was hanging on the fan.

……

Late at night.

In a small new media company in Jupiter City, there was a problem with the company's internal network. The only network maintenance worker worked overtime until ten o'clock before finally fixing it.

The maintenance worker looked to be in his early thirties, but his hair was growing rapidly.

Due to long periods of sitting and lack of exercise, his belly is much bigger than that of ordinary people.

After everything was settled, he went to the boss' office with a leave request, but he was scolded as soon as he entered the door.

"How come it took you so long to build a network? Tonight's live broadcast had to be postponed. Do you know how much money this has cost us?"

"The network is now stable."

"Of course I know, get out of here!"

"I want to take a day off. Tomorrow is the entrance exam for my alma mater, and I want to go back to school to take a look..."

"What does further study have to do with you? Besides, you are the only network maintenance worker in our company. What if there is a problem tomorrow? Even if we deduct your salary, it won't be enough.

It is impossible to approve the leave. Let’s wait until the situation is completely stable in the next few days. "

"Can I resign, then?"

The boss got even angrier when he heard this. "Of course you can! According to the contract, the handover will take half a month, so you still have to come tomorrow. Otherwise, you can only use absenteeism as an excuse, and you will lose your salary and resignation compensation."

"Oh, then I'd better take a leave. My family will be angry if I don't have money to take back."

"Hey! Gong Xin, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

The network maintenance worker named Gong Xin did not show much expression change and walked straight towards the boss who was not much older than him.

What was very strange was that Gong Xin gradually unbuttoned his clothes along the way, revealing his "belly" underneath.

The boss, who was so arrogant just now, was so frightened when he saw the "belly" hidden under the clothes that his whole body tensed up. But he had also received compulsory education and had systematic physical training.

The boss quickly calmed down and immediately reached for the gun hidden under the table.

But what his fingers touched was not the cold metal of a gun, but warm and moist flesh and blood.

The next second...Crackling~
The only sound in the office was the movement of flesh and blood.

It seemed that Gong Xin didn't need to deal with the body at all. In less than two minutes, he left the company with a leave note with a bloody handprint on it.

He was not worried about this matter being exposed at all. It seemed that as long as he waited until tomorrow, he would reach a depth where he could not be tracked down by investigators. …

On the eve of entering school,

Non-senior high school students have already gone on holiday, and senior high school students will also leave school at [16:30] in the afternoon, except for boarding students.

There are only forty minutes left before school is over.

Most students no longer train, but instead form small groups with their good friends, tour the school, and relax as much as possible.

Luo Di also became different from before. He did not continue to practice before the exam, but sat in the classroom chatting with the class monitor, Gao Yuxuan and Xiaoying.

The most nervous among the four people are Gao Yuxuan and Li Xiaoying.
A person who wants to prove himself in non-cultural subjects,

A student who wants to get a score close to the class leader and strive to go to the same place,

Gao Yuxuan raised the topic, "I wonder what the draw will be like tomorrow?"

The squad leader was holding a bag of snacks bought from the canteen, eating as he spoke: "As long as we don't pick Luo Di, everything will be fine. Otherwise, no matter how good our performance is, we will be outshined by him.

Right? Rody.

"You can kill a fake person who is less than half a year old by yourself now, right?"

Luo Di answered very cautiously, "I don't know the other party's characteristics, so I can't draw conclusions directly."

Tsk~ The squad leader stared at Luo Di, then turned to the snacks in his hand.

"By the way, where do you plan to go after graduation?" Xiaoying mustered up the courage to join the conversation.

Gao Yuxuan was just about to talk about this topic, or to take the opportunity to ask about the squad leader's situation, "Both Luo Di and I want to go to the capital, but I will go through the Research Bureau, while Luo Di may go directly to the big company over there.

What about you two?

"I...I have to wait and see the final results before deciding." After Xiaoying gave her answer, she turned her gaze to the class monitor beside her.

The squad leader who was eating snacks was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She sucked the seasoning powder off her finger and pointed it at her own nose.

"Me? My family will decide for me based on my final grades. I just need to complete my studies well.

I'll see if I can try to fight for it and go to the capital to meet up with everyone~ Of course, I can't decide on my own."

Xiao Gao pushed up his glasses and said, "Can't you make your own decision on this matter?"

"I can't do anything about it. After all, my dad is one of the elites. He has a broader vision and the decisions he makes usually get better results."

Gao Yuxuan nodded, "That's true. With your level, it's only a matter of time before you go to the capital.

By the way, after graduation, let’s find a time to have dinner together like we did before, right? Invite Miss Anna too.”

The monitor looked at the snack bag in his hand again and said, "Let's talk about it after the entrance exam is over. Good luck tomorrow, everyone."

Time often passes quickly when we are leisurely. The school bell rings soon and non-boarding students leave the campus in groups.

inside the classroom,
Luo Di had already packed his schoolbag and was about to leave when he felt his sleeve being gently tugged.

Gao Yuxuan, who was standing by, saw this and immediately found an excuse to leave.

Xiaoying, who had planned to go back to the dormitory with the class monitor, also left through the back door with her head down, and waited silently at the exit downstairs.

This left only two people in the classroom.

Before Rody could say anything, he felt something soft and warm on his back.

At the same time, two arms held him tightly.

without speaking,

No extra movements.
This went on for a full five minutes before he slowly let go.

"Rodi, you must be at your best tomorrow."

"what happened to you?"

"Nothing. I just felt a little emotional before graduation. Maybe it will be hard for us to meet in the future. Go back quickly. I guess you will insist on running at night tonight. Why not move up a little and go to bed early."

"it is good."

Just when the squad leader thought Luo Di would leave immediately,
A palm was gently placed on her head, not patting or rubbing, just leaving it there.

"See you tomorrow."

……

【School Gate】

Gao Yuxuan was waiting under a tree outside the door.
Since the class monitor lived on campus, the two of them almost always rode home together throughout the second semester of their senior year.

I thought that today's situation was special and I would have to wait for a long time, but I didn't expect that Rody came out in less than ten minutes.

"So soon? You didn't even bother chatting with the monitor for a while. She looks like she's under a lot of pressure, or maybe her family is putting a lot of pressure on her."

"Deputy class, you're meddling a bit too much, aren't you?"

Luo Di slapped Gao Yuxuan on the back.
The latter immediately dodged and threw a punch,
They were all quite simple moves. After the two dodged each other, they couldn't help laughing. In Rody's eyes, one could see a gleam that was obviously different from the one when he went home alone.
