At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Now, when I'm out in the world, being respected by younger generations makes me feel incredibly proud.

"What kind of person is Master Lu? Later... is there anything I should be aware of?"

She wanted to take precautions and avoid potential problems by consulting with insiders.

"Oh, let me think."

As Miya walked and pondered, she said:

"First, don't touch his equipment, especially the piano in the cabinet."

"Okay, okay. I understand."

"Secondly, never touch the Buddhist shrine in the center of the room without permission, otherwise the consequences may be more serious than touching the equipment."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yao turned her gaze toward the Buddhist shrine in the hall.

There was a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus platform, holding a white bottle in one hand. It was made entirely of bronze and looked to be many years old.

Before Him were laid out various fresh fruits, as well as holy water and incense burners.

The incense ash in the stove was thick.

On one side of the Buddhist shrine, there is also an incense recipe book.

Wow...it looks so mysterious...

"Yes, it's called 'Inspiration,' and it's something even teachers should value. If you make a wish to it, it's very easy for it to come true."

Miya really doesn't treat the child like an outsider; she immediately blurted out the secret.

In her heart, her junior sister was, after all, her junior sister. Even if she had any needs, they would be completely unrelated to her and would not be connected to her.

And the perceptive Ling Yao indeed kept this clue in mind...

She took it all to heart and decided that if she stayed, she would find an opportunity to test its efficacy, since she had nothing to lose anyway.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

"Well, the third point is that the teacher is very withdrawn and dislikes three things—noise, trouble, and chaos."

Therefore, you should never bother your teacher when you have nothing to do, and especially avoid asking unnecessary questions that might lower his impression of you.

"!!"

Ling Yao felt a chill run down her spine and quickly took out her phone to open the notes app to take notes.

"I will be careful!" she assured him repeatedly.

"Okay. The teacher's shed is on the left and the rest room is on the right. He's waiting for you in the rest room now. When you go in, answer any questions you have. Don't lie, because the teacher can tell if you're lying."

"Uh-huh!"

Ling Yao gave Miya a grateful look.

Immediately, following her instructions, he knocked on the door three times and then pushed it open to enter.

-

……

On the sofa, Master Lu was drinking tea.

Seeing Ling Yao enter, he ignored her and continued sipping his tea.

"..."

Ling Yao felt a lot of pressure. Looking at this handsome man who was about 40 years old but looked only in his 30s, she nervously said:

"Greetings, Master. I...I'm here to report for duty."

"Okay, sit down and fill out the form first."

"!?"

Upon hearing the words "fill out a form," the girl noticed that there was a printed form with black text on a white sheet of paper on the coffee table.

And it looks like it was just printed out of the printer... the ink isn't even dry yet.

"This is……"

"If you want to be my student, you have to answer a lot of questions first. But I don't like to talk or wait, so I wrote down all the questions in advance."

Teacher Lu took a sip of tea and added, "You have half an hour. Take a pen and go to that room to fill out the form."

"Okay, okay!"

Ling Yao immediately did as instructed.

To be honest, she hadn't even considered the apprenticeship application process before she came.

Who takes a written exam to become an apprentice?!

And there's a problem with this form...

The first question was quite strange, wasn't it?

What is your current emotional state?

A. Married.

B. Unmarried.

B1. Unmarried but in a relationship.

B2. Unmarried and without a partner.

B21. Unmarried, single, but has someone she likes.

B22. Unmarried, no partner, no crush.

Note: Answer truthfully. Lying will result in your exam being invalidated. Turn right after exiting the exam room.

"…………"

Ling Yao felt a chill run down his spine.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that option A is a sure-fire way out.

Option B is also rife with traps.

If you're not careful, you might accidentally send it yourself.

"It seems like option B can't be chosen; we need to be precise down to the end of the branch..."

"My answer should be B21. But B22 seems to be the perfect answer..."

"Oh no..."

Ling Yao was caught in a dilemma.

She planned to look at the later, more challenging questions first.

The second question was—

What is your romantic history?

A. Maternity solo.

A1. The mother is single, but they have held hands.

A2 mother was single, but they kissed.

A3. The mother is single but has dated alone with members of the opposite sex.

A4. She is single but has never gone on a date with a man alone.

B. Has been in a romantic relationship.

"........."

well.

Lingyao knows how to do this problem.

"Based on my personal circumstances, I can proudly choose A4. I expect there shouldn't be any problems."

She gradually figured out the logic behind the question.

"Choosing B will definitely lead to death," is a common saying.

She continued reading.

Sure enough, the third major question was extremely complex—

What kind of "tuition fee" can you offer for further studies at 61 Studio?

A. Tianhai Bank: 190 million RMB per semester.

B. A 40-year unpaid odd-job contract.

C. Obey assignment.

"???"

Compared to the previous two questions, this one seems to have fewer options, but in reality, it seems there are no options at all.

If A is the one who has no money, then they can be ruled out.

B's words are tantamount to a contract of servitude... I have many things to do in the future, I can't afford to fail here...

Option C seems the safest, but it's unclear what the so-called "allocation" actually means.

Considering the previous two questions together, Ling Yao judged that this might be a kind of emotional allocation?

"But……"

"I...this..."

She hesitated.

Sitting in my small office with soundproof windows, I hesitated, unsure of what to write.

"For the first question, I clearly had feelings for my senior. If I lied and didn't write it down, I might be completely finished once I was found out."

"Regarding the second question, I have a clear conscience. But I can tell that the question setter definitely wanted to see option B22 from the first question. What should I do?"
