Chapter 68




Tan Lu En entered: “You guys done talking?”
“Enh, all I needed to pay for was this meal . ” Lu Yu Chen gave Xuan Mo a chicken wing, “Mo Mo, eat, isn’t such an outcome great, everyone is happy, and we managed to save money too! Gahaha!”
Xuan Mo didn’t smile . Jin Ping cried and called Lu Jian Hua the moment she left . Lu Jian Hua was a Blue Planet being, she didn’t believe he’d actively and willingly abort their child as a Scorpion would .
“You guys eat, I’m not hungry . ” Eat eat eat and get scolded when they’re back .
Their father didn’t dare tell them off which Xuan Mo’s mom was around so he didn’t look for Xuan Mo . It was only after their mom went to bed did he quietly exit his study and enter Lu Yu Chen’s room .
Just as Xuan Mo was about to eavesdrop on their conversation, a call suddenly came in . It was from Ah Gui; it been quite a while since he’s contacted her . His voice sounds tired: “Wu Qi, what are you doing, not going to school?”
“Even me going to school in within your scope of concern?” Xuan Mo curious .
“Cough, not trying to poke into your business . It’s just that your probation period is ending soon, so HR is stricter . ”
“Oh, and then?”
“Wu Qi, have you thought about which department you want to join in the future?”
Xuan Mo had heard what each of their departments do . Honestly, none of them interested her . The only department that included any form of battle was the action team she was in right now, but their job scope was extremely similar to that of a security guard’s…
“Not interested in any . ” She was very frank . ”
“Aye . ” Ah Gui didn’t even know if he should get angry about this . “What a pity . ”
“We received news that the military zone will be creating a special reserve force . They are recruiting youths with strong potential who have passed probation and has the same aspirations as yourself . At the moment, before you can join the special forces department, you will undergo actual combat-centric training so to prepare you for the role as fast as possible . ”
Though the other end of the call was silent, Ah Gui knew Xuan Mo was listening attentively .
“The training regime is something similar to your summer camp, except that the youths they are recruiting are often from students who are going to graduate from university . They will undergo four courses, the duration of the course depends on when they complete it . Once they finish, the training class can graduate and enter the force…”
“University graduates?” Did he think she’s an idiot? That’s several years away for her…
“Eh, there’s a reason why I’m letting you know now . Someone recommended that you join the training class, so you can complete the course during your breaks . ”
“And? What if I complete the course before I graduate from high school?”
“Cough cough, though such a situation is highly unlikely, if that does happen, we still hope that you can work for Zone Seven till you’re in university before selecting the route you wish to go . ”
“You’re gonna wring me dry before you let me go huh . ”
“Can’t help it, there’s a lot of talented people around these days, but there are only very few talented people that are valuable . ”
“Whatever then, I agree . ”
“When are you free then? I’ll explain in detail and we’ll sign the contract?”
“Contract?”
“Of course, this isn’t something you can just pop in when you want to . ”
“You set a date and time then . ”
“Next Saturday, nine in the morning, Shenghua, my office . You okay?”
“Okay . ”
Suddenly, something loud sounded; it was her mom’s shout . Xuan Mo immediately hung up and left her room .
♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 68 is hosted at ZHAN LANN♢
She had been to engrossed on dissecting the information from Ah Gui that she didn’t notice what was happening outside at all . Her mom stood in the hallway with her brows pulled together, raging . Her step-dad on the other hand opened the door, his expression one of anxiety . Behind, Lu Yu Chen had his head hanging low .
Xuan Mo’s appearance dissolved the tension . As though the play button was pressed, her mom became agitated . She turned to look at Xuan Mo: “Mo Mo! Pack your things! We’re going to your grandma’s!”
Xuan Mo blinked . She hummed in acknowledgement and headed to her room to pack up without a word more .
Her step-dad had yet to react . Lu Yu Chen on the other hand rushed out first . He ran out without his slippers on and grabbed Xuan Mo’s arms, not releasing . He turned back to her mom: “Mom! Please, I’m begging you, don’t be rash, can you let us handle this?”
Xuan Mo’s mom didn’t reply for a long time . Lu Yu Chen’s calling her mom made her pause .
When she married Lu Jian Hua back then, both their kids were in their rebellious phase of life . She’d wanted to make do with how things were back then so she didn’t mind much about how he addressed her . In fact, it also smoothed things out between the step-mom and son . She saw Lu Yu Chen as her own son for so many years, so when he called her aunt, you can’t expect her to not feel dismayed .
But now, this rebellious and unruly boy suddenly gave in . His addressed melted half her anger .
