The examination time for the first professional course is scheduled at nine o'clock in the morning on January 3.
The night before, Shen Shi'an packed his schoolbag with manuscript paper and signature pens for the exam. Before leaving, he poured a bottle of tomato juice. After changing his clothes and shoes, he was ready to go out, only then did he realize that Xiao Hei was missing.
"Xiao Hei," he stood at the entrance and shouted twice, "I have to leave."
The room was quiet, and the familiar black figure did not appear.
I guess I don't know where I'm hiding and I'm still angry with him. Shen Shi'an didn't care, just be angry, it was better than pestering him to secretly bite holes in his trousers. Picked up the schoolbag from the sofa: "I'm leaving. Just be good and don't make trouble. I'll come back at noon to roast chicken legs for you."
Examination room and seat numbers are randomly assigned after being scrambled by different classes in the same department, which means that students in the same examination room may not necessarily be students from the same class. Shen Shi'an's seat was in the second to last row in the first row. On the way to his seat, he found that class monitor Lu Xiuyuan was also in the examination room, sitting diagonally behind him, in the second row from the last.
Lu Xiuyuan also saw him, and raised his chin high, preparing to give him an arrogant and disdainful look. Unfortunately, Shen Shi'an did not give him this chance. He glanced at him lightly and quickly looked away.
Put down your schoolbag and sit down. First, take out the paper, pen, and student ID card from the outer pocket, arrange them neatly in the upper left corner of the desk, then unzip the main zipper of the inner layer, reach in and hold the thermos cup - —
The expected cold and hard feeling of the thermos cup did not appear, and the palm felt warm and soft. Shen Shi'an squeezed twice subconsciously, lowered his head, and met a pair of round emerald green eyes. The owner of the eyes stuck out his tongue and licked his fingers flatteringly.
Shen Shi'an: "..."
His eyebrows were furrowed and he had a headache. He flicked its ears a few times with his fingers: How did you get in? I have an exam, why are you following me? Don’t you want Dandan anymore?
But now is obviously not the time to discuss these issues. The invigilator has already walked to the podium with the sealed paper: "The exam is about to begin. Please turn off your mobile phones. Except for paper and pen utensils, school bags and other things are all Bring it up. After the exam starts, once you find that your phone is not turned off, or you have professional books, reference materials, and cheat sheets around you, whether you read it or not, it will be treated as cheating. Do you all know the consequences of cheating? The whole school will inform the criticism, and this exam will be directly If you fail a course and retake it, or if the circumstances are serious, you will be expelled from school. It’s scary. If you’re scared, just send the things over quickly. Let’s take honest exams and compete fairly.”
The exam lasted for two hours. It was absolutely impossible for Xiao Hei to stay quietly in his bag for two hours without making a sound. Although Wan Feng and the other two were nearby, their cell phones were ordered to be turned off. It was probably too late to call them now to ask them to pick up Xiao Hei. Seeing that the invigilator was getting more and more anxious, Shen Shi'an opened the zipper of his down jacket and stuffed Xiao Hei in through the cover of the desk and schoolbag:
"Don't make a sound," he said softly, "or you'll have dog meat hotpot for lunch."
He zipped up his down jacket and schoolbag again, then put one hand into his pocket to support the dog's butt, and carrying the schoolbag with the other hand, he walked to the free table at the front and put it on it.
After the exam bell rang, candidates began to answer questions. The sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the entire examination room. The only sounds were the footsteps of the invigilator walking back and forth and the rustling of the pen tip on the page.
The down jacket is very warm, and the tip of the nose is filled with the familiar and unique smell of the owner of the clothes. It smells fresh and good, making the dog feel at ease. Xiao Hei was very satisfied. He held the sweater with his pads and nestled in the down jacket and took a nap. When he woke up, he found that Shen Shi'an was still writing. Out of boredom, he started to stick his butt out and arch it here and there.
The body temperature of a dog is slightly higher than that of a human being. It is like a small stove when placed on the belly, keeping it warm and generating heat. Sensing that the small stove suddenly became dishonest, Shen Shi'an put his hand into his pocket and pinched it twice threateningly through the fabric.
The small stove stopped, and not long after it settled down, it secretly poked and made noise in the clothes again.
Shen Shi'an concentrated his attention, carefully reviewed the questions and then answered smoothly, without any pause at the tip of his pen. Until Xiao Hei changed direction and started to burrow under the clothes, the speed of answering suddenly increased. After writing the last word, he put down the pen, pinched the back of the dog's neck through the clothes with one hand, and opened the zipper a little with the other hand. As cold as frost, he pursed his lips and lowered his head to look inside the down jacket: "You..."
Just as a reprimand with the volume lowered to the extreme started, a shout suddenly came from behind: "Report to the teacher, he cheated!"
His voice was loud and clear, and his words were like a thunder exploding in the examination room, instantly focusing everyone's attention. Most of them knew Shen Shi'an, and the originally quiet examination room was immediately filled with whispers.
Shen Shi'an turned around and, as expected, met the eyes of squad leader Lu Xiuyuan. The eyes were very bright, full of excitement and contempt. Seeing Shen Shi'an look over, he became a little more awe-inspiring and proud of defending justice. He stood up straight and repeated his accusation again: "Teacher , someone cheated, he hid something under his clothes, I caught him peeking several times!"
There are two invigilators, one male and one female. The male teacher must have gone to the toilet. The female teacher heard the noise and walked towards the two of them. Shen Shi'an lowered his head and said softly and quickly into his clothes: "Remember to pretend to be pitiful." Then he stood up from his seat. stood up.
He has a tall and straight posture, a cool temperament, and a soothing and calm expression, without any panic or anger that should be expected after being accused.
Probably because he didn't look like he would cheat. After the female teacher confirmed to Lu Xiuyuan that the target of the accusation was indeed him, she subconsciously softened her voice and said, "Classmate, is there something hidden in your clothes?"
Shen Shi'an nodded, his voice was clear and clear, like jade stones hitting the forest in the summer wind, and he unintentionally made people feel good about him: "Yes."
"Teacher, look," Lu Xiuyuan's face flushed slightly with excitement, "I said it right!"
The female teacher glanced at him and then returned her gaze to Shen Shi'an: "Can you unzip your clothes and let me have a look?"
The zipper of the down jacket was only halfway unzipped, and a furry and round head was immediately exposed from the clothes. His butt was pinched hard by the fingers in the pocket through the fabric. His emerald green eyes were immediately wet with tears, and his eyes were filled with tears. There was only a flesh pad on Shen Shian's chest.
He turned to the female teacher and called softly: "Meow~"
Shen Shi'an: "..."
Everyone was in an uproar, and the female teacher was stunned for a moment before reacting: "What is this?" She asked while picking up the student ID card on the table: "Shen Shi'an...ah, are you the Shen Shi'an who ranks first in the grade?"
Shen Shi'an was admitted to the Medical University with the first place in the city's college entrance examination. He also gave a speech as a freshman representative at the opening ceremony. He also ranked first in his grade in the final exams for two consecutive years in his freshman and sophomore years. National Scholarship and delivered an acceptance speech at the semester summary meeting of the Clinical School. In addition, my grandfather was a professor at the Medical University during his lifetime, and Mr. Gu donated two research rooms to the school. Even if the teachers in the school had not taught him, they had heard about him and his family's situation.
"This is a stray dog I picked up in the community," Shen Shi'an replied softly, while touching the dog's head: "The doctor said it was only two months old, probably just weaned, and somehow got separated from the female dog. I almost froze to death while hiding in the bushes in the community." He was much taller than the female teacher, so from her perspective, the eyelashes that were half hanging down became thicker and surprisingly long: "It is particularly insecure and must It needs someone to keep it company all the time to calm it down, otherwise it will tremble all over and scream non-stop. No one else in my family can take care of it, so I brought it here because I had no choice. I am very sorry for disturbing all the students in their exams."
The young man's tone was calm, his speaking rhythm was neither urgent nor slow, and his expression did not indicate any intention of gaining sympathy. However, once the slightest trace of softness was revealed on his usually cold and distant face, the softness became particularly obvious. Like a flower blooming in the ice, fragile, stubborn, beautiful and lonely, it instantly gives rise to a surging desire to protect.
At this time, the male teacher also returned to the examination room. In order to prove his innocence, Shen Shian simply hugged Xiao Hei with one hand and took off his entire down jacket with the other hand to show everyone: "Besides this dog, there is nothing else. I I know that bringing pets to the examination room without authorization is a serious violation of examination room discipline and has also disturbed other students' examinations. I am really sorry. Let the two teachers decide how to punish me. I have absolutely no complaints. In order not to cause further disturbance to other students, I want to hand in the paper in advance. "
He bowed solemnly to the two teachers, then packed up his things and left the examination room with his dog in his arms. As soon as he walked out of the classroom door, the softness between his eyebrows disappeared in an instant. He lifted Xiao Hei by the back of his neck, his eyes were bottomless, and his tone was very soft: "Tell me, do you like clear soup or spicy soup?"
In the classroom, the male teacher picked up Shen Shi'an's paper, glanced at the neat Qing Jun handwriting under each question, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Hey, these have been answered."
Lu Xiuyuan's originally unattractive face suddenly became even more unattractive.
The final exam lasted for more than a week. Under Shen Shian's strict precautions, the accident of the dog sneaking into the schoolbag never happened again.
On the afternoon of January 11th, the last exam ended successfully. Most students had bought their tickets to go home early, and less than an hour after the exam ended, the campus was mostly empty.
Yun Feiyang did not go home, but moved into the second bedroom of Shen Shian's house with his suitcase and birdcage. Shen Shi'an poured him a glass of tomato juice: "You don't have to stay with me specially." Since his grandfather passed away, Yun Feiyang always used various reasons to live with him for a period of time every winter and summer vacation, which meant Shen Shi'an deeply. It is clear that he is just afraid that he will be alone and feel sad at the scene.
"I didn't stay here to accompany you." Yun Feiyang lay comfortably on the sofa and poured some tomato juice into Ruibao's water bottle to share with it: "I signed up to participate in the volunteer activities of the Animal Protection Association. Centered on City H, together with surrounding towns, we launched a winter rescue operation for stray animals, which is estimated to last for two weeks. The school dormitory building will be closed in a few days, and it is freezing to death. Brother, I am desperate. This is not only Can I come over and join you?"
Then he changed his posture: "By the way, I may have to live in another city for two days during the event. Can you please help me take care of Ruibao? I will divide its rations according to the number of meals and feed it every meal." Just one piece is enough. There are several layers of newspapers under the cage. If you think its daddy smells bad, just take out one." As he spoke, he winked at Shen Shi'an, trying to seduce him: "Also, let your black boy Stay away from it a little bit.”
Shen Shi'an nodded: "Okay." Probably because I fed Ruibao spiritual spring water. Although this little thing is afraid of Xiaohei, he is very close to him. Every time he sees him, he starts shaking his head and shouting "baby", which is quite cute.
Yun Feiyang got what he wanted, and turned to look at Xiao Hei, who was standing motionless on his hind legs in the corner of the living room, leaning against the wall: "What's the matter? I'm still standing because I sneaked into your schoolbag."
There are no secrets in the school. Shen Shian had a puppy in his arms during the exam, and the news spread throughout the clinical school that afternoon. Most students were surprised that iceberg beauty Shen Xueba actually had such a gentle side, which inadvertently added a large number of admirers to Shen Shi'an. In the past few days, I have received dozens of confession text messages, many of which are Shen Shian was troubled by how to reject his classmates one by one. This is why Xiao Hei still had to stand facing the wall after several days.
He raised his eyes and glanced over, "Stand up straight."
Xiao Hei bared his teeth and thought, remembering that he didn't dare to eat cabbage three times a day for the past two days, so he raised his front paws and pressed his belly closer to the wall.
"Have the results of that exam come out yet?" Yun Feiyang asked.
Shen Shi'an shook his head: "It will probably be after the new year, but the counselor told me not to worry. The results should not be cancelled."
Yun Feiyang's eyes widened: "You didn't cheat, you took the exam openly, why should you cancel your results! Why can Xiao Hei give you the answers!" After saying this, he spat with hatred: "Damn it, Lu Xiuyuan, that turtle grandson , I will have to repair him severely sooner or later."
"Don't cause trouble. Violent fights will result in direct expulsion from school."
"I'm not stupid." Yun Feiyang muttered secretly: I don't know how to imitate you in secretly putting on sacks and plotting.
After the holidays, I suddenly have more free time. Yun Feiyang is often away from home when participating in volunteer activities, which makes it easier for Shen Shian to freely enter and exit the space: there are many places that he had not had time to study before, so he took advantage of the winter vacation to explore them carefully.
After dinner that day, Yun Feiyang went to Linshi and had not returned yet. Shen Shian was worried about leaving Xiao Hei alone with Ruibao. He thought about it and picked it up. With a thought, they entered the space together.
Entering the space for the first time seemed to have a big impact on the dog. His whole body was stiff and he looked a little dazed. When he realized where he was, he immediately broke away from Shen Shian's hands, spread his short legs and ran forward:
"Pocket Domain! This is Shen Shian's Portable Domain!"
Shen Shi'an ignored it and let it run around, walking towards the tomato forest. Just after taking two steps, a bright golden light suddenly lit up in the corner of his vision, and with a scream, a familiar black ball of hair flew into the air, and then hit the ground in a parabola shape.
...Xiao, Xiaohei?
Shen Shi'an couldn't understand what happened for a while.
Xiao Hei didn't seem to feel any pain after being smashed into the soil. He stood up, shook the soil, and rushed toward its target, the spiritual spring. This time, his eyes were always fixed on it, and Shen Shian finally took a closer look at the whole thing——
Xiao Hei ran at full speed towards the eye of Lingquan. Just when it reached the position about five meters outside the spring, a golden barrier running through the sky and the earth suddenly lit up. The runes on it flashed mysteriously and unspeakably, just in time to connect the eye of Lingquan and the spring. Wang Lingquan Pond was completely surrounded, blocking Xiao Hei's steps. The moment Xiao Hei bumped into him, golden light suddenly appeared like thunder, and Xiao Hei was thrown away far away.
Is there a barrier around Lingquan? Has it existed before or just appeared recently? Why did he never find out?
The shock in his heart was like a stormy sea. Shen Shi'an quickly walked to the location where the golden light appeared a moment ago——
After Xiao Hei was bounced off, the golden light disappeared again. At this time, the surrounding area of Lingquan looked no different from usual. Shen Shi settled down for a moment, then continued to walk forward, until he reached the edge of the spring, and then walked away from the spring. return. The flow back and forth was smooth, the golden light did not appear, and no obstacles were found.
Why? It was obvious that he had just seen the golden barrier, so it couldn't be an illusion. He turned around and waved to Xiao Hei: "Come here."
The second fall seemed to be a bit harder than the first, but the ground in the space was soft, and Xiao Hei's body was hairy, so it was no big deal except that he was covered in mud again. He shook his head and ran towards Shen Shi'an.
This time it learned wisely and stopped in front of where the golden light appeared. It has recognized it. This thing is clearly the defensive weapon that knocked Shen Shian away when he tried to eat him.
Shen Shi'an picked up the dog, held its paws and reached forward——
Uh-huh. The golden light barrier appeared again. Block Xiao Hei's claws firmly, unable to move even an inch.
So that's it.
Shen Shi'an suddenly realized: It seems that this barrier is only effective for creatures other than him, preventing other things from approaching the spring, and he is not subject to this restriction because he is the owner of the space. The golden barrier is actually a protective shield protecting the spring.
What if he wanted to bring other creatures in? Anything that is in direct contact with him can be brought into space with just a thought. Does this barrier also follow the same rules?
Shen Shi'an hugged Xiao Hei, silently chanting "Go forward" in his heart, and then took a step forward.
The golden barrier still existed, and the runes on it shone brightly, but Xiao Hei was already standing inside the barrier with Shen Shi'an.
Sure enough, I can bring it in. What if a creature has direct contact with him, but he doesn't want to bring it in? For example, if the space is exposed and one is held hostage by others, threatening to enter the spiritual spring.
Before Xiao Hei could jump for joy because he had entered the barrier, Shen Shi'an hugged him and retreated, then took a step forward again, but this time he clearly refused Xiao Hei to approach the spiritual spring——
With a flash of golden light, Shen Shi'an walked smoothly into the barrier, while Gouzi fell to the ground like cinders caught on the filter paper and fell onto his butt.
Xiaohei: "..."
It seems that this protective shield can also sense his psychological activities, and Shen Shi'an is a little surprised. So what if he doesn't allow entry in his heart, but gives verbal instructions to allow entry?
In order to prove his conjecture, Shen Shi'an walked out of the barrier again, picked up Xiao Hei and started the experiment. By the time Xiao Hei was stopped by the barrier and fell to the ground for the eighth time, the rules of this protective shield had been roughly studied:
Except for Shen Shian, other creatures are not allowed to enter;
Shen Shi'an can bring the creature in with him, but he must give the permission instruction willingly, otherwise he will still intercept it;
Creatures that have not received permission instructions will receive a corresponding level of rebound no matter how hard they impact the protective shield. And if you ignore the protective shield and try to break through forcefully——
"Ouch!" Xiao Hei screamed and retracted his claws. It only tentatively penetrated the protective shield by less than one centimeter. The hair at the front was already scorched black by the sudden electric current, and a few strands of hair oozed faintly. Bloodstains.
"Xiao Hei!" Shen Shi'an's heart tightened, and he immediately carried it through the protective shield and put it into the spiritual spring. Xiao Hei's eyes lit up, he couldn't wait to jump in and drank several mouthfuls of spiritual spring water, then paddled his short legs back and forth in the pool:
"Finally coming in!!"
Shen Shi'an waited for a moment, grabbed its paw to make sure the wound had healed, and then he felt relieved and let it scratch in the spring. He turned around and walked to the bamboo house and broke off a small branch from the peach tree. Divide the branch into four sections, then go to the position where the protective cover appeared, and insert a section every quarter circle as a reference.
After inserting all the branches, when he turned his head again, there was no trace of Xiao Hei in the spiritual spring. Shen Shi'an frowned, walked to the edge of the pool and shouted twice: "Xiao Hei?"
The mist was steaming from the spring, but there was still no movement.
The diameter of this spiritual spring is only a little more than three meters. Xiao Hei knows how to dig a dog, so he can't drown in it, right?
Shen Shi'an shouted a few more times. He walked around the Lingquan but found no trace of Xiao Hei. His uneasiness became more and more intense. He was about to jump down and search carefully. Suddenly, the water surged in the center of the Lingquan, as if he had encountered something. A huge suction force gradually formed a rapidly rotating vortex. In just a second or two, the vortex at the bottom of the pool suddenly stopped, and a cute little Yuxue baby emerged from it.
Oh haha.
Shen Shi'an's heart skipped a beat: It turns out that this spiritual spring can still give birth.
