Chapter 65 Examination and Interview

Twenty minutes later, the taxi arrived at Xindu University's school gate.

After Lu Yao paid the bill, he picked up his bag and got out of the car unsteadily. Then, he leaned against a big tree not far away from the car. He felt nauseous.

He had never taken such a crazy taxi. On the way, when waiting for the traffic lights, the driver would chat with Lu Yao. However, other than that, he was like a crazy racer, desperately stepping hard on the accelerator.

Lu Yao had thought that it would take 40 minutes to get there, but the driver managed to arrive in 20 minutes.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the driver used a few skillful drifting techniques to overtake other cars on a few bends while the car moved at a high speed. He would not be inferior even compared with the professional racer.

Just like that, Lu Yao took the coolest taxi that he had ever met. Even though he was very skilled in martial arts, he still felt the urge to vomit.

Leaning against the big tree, he looked up at the night scene. It took him about five or six minutes to feel more comfortable.

Fortunately, Lu Yao was physically fit. If a common person took this taxi, they would probably need to rest for twenty minutes before being able to walk again.

The surrounding areas of the university could not be compared to those bustling streets Lu Yao had just seen. At this time, around Xindu University, there was basically no one on the road except for some young couples who came back late.

Lu Yao walked around for a while and found a small hotel with a fair price and a good environment to stay in.

...

...

"I am very happy to see you here today. All of you are the best among the 100,000 students who are about to take the college entrance examination this year. I will not say more about the reason why you are here today. I only hope that you can get satisfactory results."

More than 50 talented young boys and girls, who had travelled from the different urban areas in Xinlu Province, sat in the multimedia classroom of Xindu University.

A very handsome young male teacher looked at all the students in the room and said with a smile.

"Today, I'm your supervising teacher and also a witness to your success. I hope that you can give full play to all your abilities and impress your ideal university..."

After hearing the encouragement from the teacher, the students began to take the examination nervously.

After getting the test paper, Lu Yao took a look at it and found that he had seen almost all of these questions, so he quickly began to write down his answers.

During the exam, the patrolling teachers came here a few times, and Director Yin, whom Lu Yao saw the last time, was also among them.

Director Yin came up to Lu Yao and looked at the answers he had written. He did not say anything and just nodded with a smile on his face and then he left.

The exam lasted for three whole days. In addition to the four major subjects that were compulsory in the national exam, there were two more for these students, namely the comprehensive interview and evaluation.

Lu Yao felt that he should have no problem with the national exam subjects. However, when he took part in the comprehensive interview and evaluation, he couldn't only depend on his own strength, because family background and his social skills were important, too. Therefore, Lu Yao was not very confident.

The comprehensive interview and evaluation were set to start on the morning and afternoon of the third day.

Xindu University provided six offices as the interviewing rooms. All candidates had to be interviewed separately.

According to the interview order, Lu Yao was among the last group of interviewees, so he could analyze the fragmented information from those who had already finished their interviews. It turned out everyone had different exam questions.

For example, Dong Xiao's question was like this: The charm of one's personality was formed in the training of daily life, and it could often be shown in one's behaviors. A modest smile, a tall and straight posture... Things like these are enough to show your attitude and emotions. What do you think your most distinctive expression, posture, movement, or pet phrase is? Please introduce yourself to us who have never met you before.

Others' questions were simpler. For instance: Was it your father or your mother who had a greater impact on you? Why?

If you had a year at your disposal, what will you do?

...

"Next, Lu Yao, go to Room Number One, please get prepared!" A voice shouted from the loudspeaker outside the examination room.

Lu Yao came to the entrance of Room Number One and knocked on the door. After getting the permission of the people inside, he walked in.

There were two teachers in the room. One of them was the male teacher who had been supervising them before. Through his self-introduction, Lu Yao learned that his name was Lu Yuntao. Well, the two of them had the same surname.

The other was a female teacher who looked like a fairy. This was Lu Yao's first impression of her.

She was wearing a floral chiffon dress and a pair of white ballet flats. Her hair was draped over her shoulders and she sat there like a fairy who was otherworldly.

If Lu Yao had to describe her in words, he would have thought of a poem.

Like cream congealed, her skin is tender. Her fingers str like soft blades of reed. Like larva white, her neck is slender. Her teeth were like rows of melon seeds. Her forehead was like that of a dragonfly, and her arched brows were carved like a bow. Under the speaking eyes, her cheeks with smiles and dimples glow.

Lu Yao carefully sized up the two of them, and they also sized up Lu Yao from head to toe.

A minute or two later, as the interviewer, Lu Yuntao raised his first question.

"Lu Yao, please introduce to us your family members and family background. By the way, tell us about the influence of your family on you."

Lu Yao felt that this was a familiar question.

Because he had considered this question countless times, he thought that his family, which was not complete, had molded his unyielding character, helping him know how to be considerate, how to care for others, and even how to love others, etc...

Lu Yao felt that this was a precious treasure of his life, so he did not hide anything and told the two teachers opposite him in detail.

After Lu Yao finished speaking, there was not a trace of disdain or contempt on the teachers' faces. Instead, he saw a bit of praise in their intent gazes.

"Very good, we already have a basic understanding of your family. I have to say that I admire your honesty. I once asked many people the same question, but their answers were not as honest as yours. Some people even kept it a secret and were reluctant to talk about the topic." The female teacher picked up a piece of paper in her hand and waved it at Lu Yao.

Although their seats were not close, Lu Yao could clearly see that on the paper, there was Lu Yao's family profile, and some of his teachers' evaluations for him.

It turned out that they already had all the information about him.

"Lu Yao, let me ask you a personal question. Have you ever been in a relationship?" Lu Yuntao smiled as he stared into Lu Yao's eyes.

"No!" Lu Yao had never been in a relationship, so he answered without hesitation.

"Then the next question might be a little difficult for you. You can think about it for a while longer!" After Lu Yuntao finished speaking, he took out a paper box and an envelope.

He placed them on the desk in front of Lu Yao.

Lu Yao opened the envelope. There was a letter inside, which described the story of a boy and a girl.

The general content was that the boy and the girl were childhood sweethearts and they grew up together. The girl treated the boy like a brother. She never hid anything from him and they always got along very happily.

It was unknown when the boy had silently fallen in love with the girl.

But because the boy was afraid of losing the girl, his best friend, he never dared to confess his love to her. Until one day, when the girl was celebrating her birthday, the boy summoned his courage to write a letter to the girl when he was encouraged by a group of friends. In the letter, he described his feelings to the girl in a euphemistic way.

The next day, the girl gave the boy a paper box. There were two things inside. The boy opened it in front of his friends. When his friends saw it, they all advised the boy to give up.

This was the whole story.

The question for Lu Yao was: What did you think this gift represented? Write the answer on the paper.

The story didn't mention what was in the paper box. Lu Yao knew that the gift should be in the paper box in front of him.

Slowly opening the paper box, Lu Yao saw that there was a spring onion and a head of garlic inside.

What did this mean?

Lu Yao slowly recalled the story, and he finally understood why the boy's friends would advise him to give up, because when these two things were put together, one would immediately understand that the girl looked down upon the boy.

But Lu Yao knew that since the interviewer used this question to test him, there must be other reasons.

After pondering for a while, Lu Yao wrote six words on the blank sheet of paper. Then, he sealed the envelope again and placed it on the desk. He looked at the two teachers opposite him quietly.

"Done?"

"Yes!"

"You can leave now. Go home and wait for the notice!"

After Lu Yao got the permission, he turned around and left.

When Lu Yao went out, he heard the female teacher saying to Lu Yuntao with a smile, "Only you can do such a thing as to exploit the interview to solve your private puzzle."

Lu Yao did not hear what Lu Yuntao said later.

...

...

It was getting late, so Lu Yao chose to take the night bus back.

When Lu Yao returned to Shuangta City, he was surprised to see Wang Ping waiting for him at the bus station.

They drove in the direction of Chaoyang Garden.

"Brother Wang, how is Brother Buick's injury?" On the way back, Lu Yao asked first.

"It's nothing serious. He will probably be able to go back to the martial arts school to continue working in eight or ten days." Wang Ping replied.

"That's good. This time, I was too impulsive..."

"Lu Yao, don't say things like that. No pains, no gains." Wang Ping said as he drove, "Nobody was born a sharpshooter. They became sharpshooters because they practiced countless times."

Lu Yao knew that Wang Ping was comforting him, but after listening to these words, he felt quite comfortable.

Then Wang Ping and Lu Yao talked about some lighter topics. Neither of them mentioned what happened in the Night Bar.

Recently, Lu Yao had been busy running around. He had little time to accompany Lu Yiqian. Therefore, although it was already early in the morning, he chose to go home directly.

After the car arrived at the gate of the community, the two chatted for a while and then went back to their respective home.

Because Lu Yiqian didn't know when Lu Yao would come back, he didn't leave any light on.

Lu Yao carefully washed up and went to his room. After slowly practicing the fist technique twice, he fell asleep.

It was a very tiring thing to travel by bus, especially by a long-distance night bus, so Lu Yao fell asleep pretty fast.
