In the blink of an eye, the final exams at Yinshan Academy had arrived.
As usual, final tests were naturally required, and Ye Shuang naturally chose to stay at Yinshan Academy for these two days.
He had also dedicated more of his time to the academy these past few days.
As for the reason, it was probably because of Yuyou acting spoiled with him that night. Perhaps because he hadn't been at the academy, Yuyou had become even more reliant on him.
Ye Shuang simply couldn't harden his heart enough to completely stop coming to the academy to check on Yuyou.
...
"Hmm... they want me to invigilate again." Looking at the schedule, Ye Shuang realized that ever since he covered a few invigilation shifts for others, he seemed to have become a permanent invigilator.
The reason was that a teacher had gotten pregnant, so he stepped in to fill the gap.
"I'm obviously just a school doctor," Ye Shuang couldn't help but think. Fortunately, the classroom he was assigned to invigilate was exactly where Bai Yuyou and the others were taking their exams.
Fate truly works in mysterious ways.
"Advanced Mathematics..." Since it was an electronic exam, Ye Shuang didn't even need to pick up test papers. He simply walked straight to the examination venue.
"Ah, hello."
Accidentally, Ye Shuang bumped into a familiar-looking girl at the corner.
"Hmm?" Seeing that it was Lao Guan's stepdaughter, Ye Shuang thought for a second and remembered that her name was Luo Xi. "Luo Xi."
"Ah..." Luo Xi didn't expect Ye Shuang to remember her name. She immediately bowed to thank him. "Thank you for giving my... um, my father a job opportunity."
"Thank you so much."
Looking at the well-behaved Luo Xi in front of him, Ye Shuang smiled faintly. "It's because your father is highly capable. You don't need to thank me for that..."
Glancing at the time and seeing that there was still a bit left before the exam, he chatted briefly with the girl.
"How is the barbecue stall doing now? Is it closed?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Yeah... it's temporarily closed, but my father still goes to set up the stall on weekends." Luo Xi briefly explained the situation.
"Does this guy not even rest on weekends?" Ye Shuang couldn't help but wonder.
He knew Lao Guan definitely wasn't working so hard to make money for himself. Thinking of this, Ye Shuang's gaze fell on Luo Xi—this little girl was quite pretty, probably inheriting it from her mother.
He only hoped that Lao Guan's dedication would yield good results. After all, taking care of a patient is no easy task; otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying that there are no dutiful children by the bed of a chronically ill parent.
"Well, you should be heading to your exam soon, right?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Yes, we have an Advanced Math exam."
Ye Shuang replied with an "oh" and then asked about her classroom, only to find out it was the one he was invigilating.
"Ah, what a coincidence?"
"Yeah, let's go together."
"Okay."
Upon arriving at the classroom, Ye Shuang noticed that not many people had arrived yet, but he did spot Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke. Seeing Ye Shuang looking like an invigilator again, the two girls looked at each other and then trotted over.
"Ye Shuang."
"Brother, are you invigilating?" Tang Keke asked.
"That's right. I'm just a brick; Yinshan Academy moves me wherever they need someone," Ye Shuang said.
Tang Keke rolled her eyes playfully. "Then, brother, go easy on us later. I'm not very good at Advanced Math... I need Yuyou's answers."
As she spoke, she stood on her tiptoes and squeezed toward the podium, acting spoiled, making her chest look like it was about to burst out of her school uniform.
Before she could finish, Ye Shuang flicked her forehead with his finger. "No way."
"Ouch."
"The purpose of a test is to evaluate your level," Ye Shuang said. "Even if you cheat on this test, can you cheat and find shortcuts for everything in the future?"
At this time, Bai Yuyou also told Tang Keke, "The meaning of learning is not just to deal with exams."
"Alright, alright, you're making me sound like a sinner," Tang Keke muttered, covering her forehead.
However, Tang Keke thought that since she had never missed a class, she probably wouldn't fail the course anyway.
After a while, most of the students had arrived. Because the seats were randomly assigned, Ye Shuang saw many unfamiliar faces, while An Shiyu, Taozi, and the others were assigned to different classrooms.
Among the familiar faces were only Bai Yuyou, Keke, and Luo Xi.
"Alright, everyone, before the exam starts, please place your phones in these cubbies matching your seat numbers." Seeing that it was about time, Ye Shuang asked the students to hand in their phones.
The students stood up one after another and put their phones in the storage cubbies next to the blackboard. Once almost everyone had placed them there, Ye Shuang scanned the area.
"Number 22, Number 17, and Number 6, take your dummy phones back."
As soon as Ye Shuang finished speaking, the expressions of a few students in their seats changed, and they stood up.
They seemed very surprised at how Ye Shuang saw through it at a glance.
However, Number 22 made Ye Shuang raise his eyebrows in surprise.
It was Tang Keke.
"Did this girl actually prepare a dummy phone?" Ye Shuang looked at Tang Keke, who came over sheepishly with her tongue sticking out. He restrained the urge to knock her on the head and simply gave her a look before letting her return to her seat.
The exam was electronic, meaning it was conducted on computers—mostly consisting of multiple-choice questions, while other calculation questions were written on a drawing board using a digital pen.
Ye Shuang sat quietly. He first glanced over at Bai Yuyou; the girl had already started answering the questions. Her serious little expression made Ye Shuang very satisfied.
As for Tang Keke, judging from her muttering little mouth, she was basically using the old-fashioned, superstitious formula: if three are short and one is long, choose the longest; if three are long and one is short, choose the shortest.
If only this girl would dedicate some of her passion for buying figurines to her studies.
Of course, Ye Shuang wasn't a strict invigilator. He just pretended not to see some of the students' little tricks. After all, they were adults and needed to learn to take responsibility for themselves—he only needed to keep an eye on Keke and Bai Yuyou... No, Yuyou didn't need keeping an eye on; managing Keke was enough.
As long as they didn't hold up their phones to search for answers, Ye Shuang basically had no intention of getting up to check.
Time flew by, and the exam was already halfway over. Ye Shuang stood up to stretch his body a bit and suddenly felt the urge to use the restroom.
"Hmm..."
He probably drank too much coffee in the morning.
According to the academy's rules, if an invigilator needed to go to the restroom, they needed someone to cover for them.
Ye Shuang picked up his phone and typed a few words into the invigilators' group chat:
Ye Shuang: Invigilating Computer Applications Class 2, need to use the restroom. Could any teacher cover for a few minutes? (Folded hands.jpg)
Soon, a few teachers responded.
Seeing this, Ye Shuang waited quietly in his seat.
It wasn't until a figure appeared outside the door that Ye Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and looked over, only to freeze for a moment.
A short-haired girl wearing glasses, dressed in Yinshan Academy's teacher uniform.
Ye Shuang: "..."
Good heavens, while other students are taking exams, you're slacking off by invigilating?

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
