I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

I wonder when this guy will ever be serious.

Chen Shuo chuckled and urged, "Why don't you give it a try? Get a feel for it first."

"Be careful, or I'll break it in half."

"Oh, then never mind."

"snort...."

Bai Xiaoqi hummed and turned her gaze back to her phone screen to continue studying.

She wants to shed the title of "senior sister" and stop being some kind of evergreen pine tree.

That's so embarrassing.

Seeing that she was actually patient enough to look, Chen Shuo became more obedient, but not completely obedient. He touched and pinched her, and his dog-like paws even reached into her skirt.

Bai Xiaoqi pulled his hand away, but Chen Shuo reached out again. This went on and on until she gave in. She bit her lip, trying not to make a sound, her face slightly flushed as she stared at her phone screen, but she couldn't calm down at all, and her breathing became irregular.

After a moment, she threw her phone down, giving up on studying and waiting to see what this guy would do next.

Chen Shuo thought she was going to hit him, so he quickly pulled his slightly damp hand back and rolled to the side. "I'm going to sleep. You can continue studying."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and even started snoring.

“…”

Seeing him close his eyes and snore, Bai Xiaoqi was stunned, then got angry, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She simply pounced on him and pinned him down, ready to beat him up.

"Stop it, I'm really going to sleep, I won't bother you."

"Don't sleep!"

Bai Xiaoqi was furious. This bastard, she had to beat him up today.

She pressed Chen Shuo down on the bed. Chen Shuo moved around and tried to struggle, and she moved with him to prevent him from breaking free.

As she moved, perhaps because her slip dress was too loose, it fell down, and she became the one who got hit.

.......

Nothing happened that night. The driving test was at nine o'clock in the morning. Chen Shuo first sent the two little kids to school, and then sent his wife to the test center.

After saying a few words of encouragement, Chen Shuo watched Bai Xiaoqi walk into the examination room. He didn't leave; instead, he parked his car on the side of the road and waited for her.

As for whether she can pass the exam, it's hard to say; her chances of passing depend mainly on luck.

For example, is the site flat? What are the road conditions like? Are there any pedestrians suddenly running around? And if someone forgets to fasten their seatbelt, will the safety officer sitting in the passenger seat subtly remind them?

That's right, she always has trouble adjusting her mindset. She's fine when practicing at the driving school, but she gets nervous whenever it's time for the exam.

This is understandable, after all, she is different from others. These days, the main force of people taking driving tests are those born in the 2000s, 2005s, and even 2010s. These people were born in an era when the country was prosperous and education was already as widespread as it could be.

It is rare for situations like those in the 1980s or even the 1990s, where people couldn't afford to go to school, to occur.

Which of these people isn't a seasoned veteran, having faced all sorts of exams since they were little—weekly tests, monthly tests, midterms, finals, and quizzes?

Having gone through countless exams, she was used to it and could remain calm no matter what the exam was like. But she had no such experience and had never taken any other exams besides the driving test, so it was inevitable that she would be nervous.

Thinking about it this way, it seems acceptable that she took several years to get her driver's license; it's quite normal.

While Chen Shuo was lost in thought, Bai Xiaoqi finally had her turn to take the exam.

Once she was in the test vehicle, she glanced at the safety officer in the passenger seat, greeted him, and then looked away, muttering to herself.

The safety officer was a man in his fifties. He noticed her lips were moving constantly, but her expression remained calm and indifferent.

Having worked in this field for so many years, he's seen all kinds of test takers. Even though he couldn't understand what the person was saying, he knew the content inside and out.

It's nothing more than saying the safety officer is a pumpkin, a watermelon, or a cabbage, or just reciting the exam process and such.

The car was equipped with cameras and a voice broadcast system. Bai Xiaoqi followed the voice broadcast step by step, adjusted her seat, fastened her seat belt, put the car in the correct gear, and checked the seat belt again.

After everything was ready, she took a deep breath and was about to start moving when the safety officer next to her suddenly coughed.

Upon hearing the cough, Bai Xiaoqi paused instinctively, then began to check her preparations. Having taken so many driving tests, she was no longer as naive as she had been at the beginning, assuming the safety officer was coughing because of a sore throat.

There must be a problem with one of the processes.

She looked down at the seatbelt, then at the gear shift, and finally at the handbrake, her expression somewhat bewildered. "No problem."

At this moment, the safety officer coughed twice more.

Bai Xiaoqi looked up at the other person and saw that the uncle looked like he had suffered a stroke, with his mouth crooked and his eyes squinting as he glanced at the steering wheel.

She looked over, her expression somewhat bewildered, not yet able to recall what the problem was, when a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in the car.

The exam is over, and the result is unsatisfactory.

???

Bai Xiaoqi was truly dumbfounded.

The safety officer next to her slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Reset the lights, young lady!"

Chapter 327 People Must Be Responsible for Their Actions

Everything you do will reward you in various ways in the future.

In Buddhism, this is called cause and effect.

Taoism calls this "inheritance and retribution," the way of Heaven, the cause and effect of karma.

In any case, people always have to bear the consequences, or retribution, for their actions; as the saying goes, good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished.

Chen Shuo just didn't expect his retribution to come so quickly.

I beat her up twice last night, and today I'm getting my comeuppance.

The foolish Bai Xiaoqi would never admit her foolishness, nor would she admit that she failed the exam because of her carelessness.

Oh, it's not that I didn't take the test. It's more that the test ended before it even started, so I didn't have a chance to show my abilities at all.

After going through the motions at the exam center, Bai Xiaoqi got into the car in a huff and immediately blamed Chen Shuo.

In the past, when she tried to shift the blame, even if Chen Shuo had nothing to do with what happened, she could still pass the buck. So what if this matter was related to him?

If this girl had behaved herself last night, quietly watched the driving test videos several times, and memorized the important points, she definitely would have passed.

Then, after resting for a few days, I took the fourth driving test. The fourth test was easy; it was just answering questions. Once I finished, I could get my license and drive. What a perfect story! But this guy ruined it all.

Now, I have to go back to the driving school and be the senior female student again.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault..."

The thought of having to go back to being the senior sister made Bai Xiaoqi unable to suppress her resentment, and she reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Chen Shuo's waist hard.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Chen Shuo didn't dodge or flinch, letting her pinch him to her heart's content while he grimaced. Only after Bai Xiaoqi stopped did he reach out and rub the soft flesh on his waist, asking, "How are you? Are you calm now?"

"No."

"Is it really necessary? Just take the test again next time."

"What if you fail the test again next time?"

"Then take the test again. You have five chances. This is only your first time. You can take it four more times."

"I can't take the test four times. There are only ten days left until I've been in the three-year program. If I fail this time, I have to wait ten days before I can take it again. In other words, if I take the test again, there won't be enough time to take it again."

I only have one chance. If I fail again next time, I'll have to retake everything.

After listening to her, Chen Shuo looked up at the car roof, paused for a moment, and nodded, saying, "You're right. You're pretty good at math."

"..." Bai Xiaoqi was so angry she wanted to bite him. What kind of time was this to be teasing her like this?

If I have to retake all the exams, it means I'll have to be the senior student for even longer, an evergreen.

Three years later, then another three years.

She cannot accept this ending!

Seeing her become angry again, Chen Shuo scratched his head. He realized she had indeed been learning to drive for three years. According to the road test regulations, once the three-year period was over, the Dragon King would return...

Pshaw, it means that once the three-year period is up, all the grades will be invalidated, and then you'll have to start all over again from subject one.

Thinking about it carefully, having to retake all the subjects if you still fail next time is indeed a very upsetting thing.

Unfortunately, with social development and improved production technology in recent years, the policies have changed accordingly, and road traffic has become increasingly strict. A few years ago, elderly mobility scooters could be driven directly on the road without registration or driver's license.

However, nowadays, the replacement of old-age mobility scooters has been classified as new energy vehicles, and they must have complete procedures, including driver's license and vehicle registration. Otherwise, they are not allowed on the road and will be fined if they are.

Otherwise, I could buy her an old-age mobility scooter to drive.

........

Bai Xiaoqi didn't go to the driving school in the afternoon, mainly because she didn't know how to face her instructor.

Before the exam, I was full of confidence and assured myself that I would definitely pass.

The work is done on the top of the list.

I can only put my hopes on the next time. In any case, I absolutely cannot start over from subject one again; that would be too painful.

Around 4 o'clock, Chen Shuo picked up the two little brats from school. Chen Qi'an looked very happy, as if he had just received a compliment.

"Mommy, Mommy, Qiuqiu said she likes playing with me today!"

As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to announce his good news.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared. Chen Qi'an was very happy, but his mother was still a little depressed and not in high spirits because she failed her exam today.

Hearing her son boast, she casually replied, "Yeah, good, that's great."

Children are often very perceptive of emotions, and Chen Qi'an immediately noticed that she was unhappy. He looked up at his mother and finally asked, "Mom, are you unhappy today?"

"Yeah, I'm not happy."

Why?

"Because your dad made your mom angry."

"what?"

Chen Qi'an let out a cry.

"What do you mean 'ah'? Go upstairs and play with your sister." Chen Shuo was too lazy to argue, picked up the little brat and put him aside, waving him to go play on the rooftop.
