One day … …
Two days … …
Three days … …
Many days passed in the blink of an eye.
Because BACK had played an important role in Beijing's Civil Servant Written Exam, Dong Xuebing did not waste this ability. He had been experimenting and researching it from different angles. Dong Xuebing had decided to turn back time to change his poor life. That's why he wanted to research and familiarize himself with this ability.
After many experiments, Dong Xuebing got mixed results.
The results of his experiments were: First, when he was chatting, he did not use the words "return", "back", or "BACK". Even if he said it or thought about it, as long as he did not do it on purpose, time will not change. Only when Dong Xuebing consciously guided himself to go back in time and muttered the words "BACK", "return", "back", etc., will time reverse.
Secondly, BACK might really be an "unlimited" ability. As long as he uses BACK at midnight, he will be able to use it again. But there was one thing that Dong Xuebing did not succeed. For example, if he used BACK 2 seconds after midnight to return to yesterday's 11: 59 am, he will not be able to use BACK again when the time is 10 seconds later.
Third, Dong Xuebing could not adapt to the time difference between before and after using BACK. It's fine if he is standing still or sitting down. But if he is walking, talking, or doing something one minute ago, he will not be able to react immediately after using BACK. He will either trip or not be able to continue the conversation. That's why Dong Xuebing reminded himself to be extra careful. If not, he might slip and get into an accident on the road. He will be in big trouble.
Of course, after so many days of experimentation, Dong Xuebing had gotten used to BACK and will not trip every time.
On the other hand.
Dong Xuebing did not forget to study for the interview. He spent more than 10 hours a day doing research. There were all sorts of rules and regulations in the government and financial circles. Dong Xuebing tried to learn as much as he could. There's no harm in knowing more.
Today.
In the living room, Dong Xuebing's mother and Aunt Xuan were chatting happily. Although they were disappointed that Dong Xuebing did not pass the Civil Servant exam, they did not mention anything about him. They only hoped that Dong Xuebing could get over this emotional crisis as soon as possible.
"Hey, Xiao Bing, look at the hippopotamus on TV. Why does it look like that?"
"That's right. It looks interesting. Hahahaha … …"
"Ah … … I have never seen that parrot before. There are too many species of birds in Africa."
Dong Xuebing looked at his mother and Qu Yunxuan. He scratched his head and smiled: "Mum, Aunt Xuan, you all watch TV. I will go and study now."
Dong Xuebing's mother looked at her son worriedly. "It's still early before the National Examinations.
Dong Xuebing nodded.
Qu Yunxuan put down her crossed legs and patted the back of Dong Xuebing's head. "You have been cooped up in your room for so many days. This is not good. Come, watch Animal World and get some rest. It will be lunchtime soon. I will cook something delicious for you later. Just let me know what you want to eat, ok?"
"Ok." Dong Xuebing sneaked a peek at Qu Yunxuan's cleavage from the collar and swallowed hard.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
"Let me answer this call first." Dong Xuebing saw it was an unknown number. He walked towards the Begonia flower pot by the window and answered. "Hello."
"Hello, are you Dong Xuebing?" It was a woman on the other end. It was a very soft voice.
"Oh, I am. Who is this?" Dong Xuebing used his shoulder to hold the phone and use a watering can to spray water on the Begonia leaves. The mist condensed into water droplets on the big green and red leaves, dripping down the tips of the leaves into the dry soil in the flower pot.
The female voice on the other end of the phone said, "This is the Political Department of the City's National Security Bureau. Due to the special circumstances of this department, we don't have an official website, and we don't publish the written test results and other information of the candidates on the internet. We will inform you of the situation of the interview by phone. Please take a pen and write it down." The other party was most likely from Beijing. She spoke in a dignified and polite manner.
Dong Xuebing was shocked when he heard this. "Ah … wait a minute."
Dong Xuebing's mother asked: "Xuebing, who is this?"
Dong Xuebing quickly gestured to his mother: "Mum, pen. Give me a pen and paper!"
Qu Yunxuan took out a ballpoint pen and a supermarket leaflet from the coffee table. "I don't see any white paper. Will this do?"
"Ok. Thank you." Dong Xuebing placed the supermarket leaflet on the windowsill and said into the phone: "Sorry to keep you waiting. Please continue."
The other party paused for a second and continued: "It's like this. Your written test results had passed the interview. You are ranked fourth among all the interviewees in our department. The day after tomorrow, 9 am. Please come to the City's Personnel Bureau for the interview. The address is Liu Hua Chi East Road, A5, Baiyun Times Building, 22nd floor, Room 2216 … …"
"Ok. Thank you. Thank you."
The other party reminded Dong Xuebing about the things to take note of and the documents he needs to bring along before hanging up.
Dong Xuebing was excited and kept his phone in his pocket. "Mum, I need to go out in the morning the day after tomorrow. Remember to wake me up early."
Dong Xuebing's mother asked curiously: "Where are you going the day after tomorrow? Why are you so happy? "
Dong Xuebing laughed: "I will tell you when the time comes. I am going back to my room to revise my lessons."
Qu Yunxuan pulled Dong Xuebing's mother and pointed her chin towards the direction of the room. "Xiao Bing, did you find a job?"
"Maybe." Dong Xuebing's mother said. "It's good to find a job. It's not a good thing to stay at home." Dong Xuebing's mother looked at the TV and sighed. "I still don't know if I can pass next year's National Examinations."
Dong Xuebing returned to his bedroom.
Dong Xuebing tore the interview address from the leaflet and kept it in his wallet. He looked at the interview notes on his desk and prayed softly. This day had finally arrived. Fourth place? It was slightly lower than what he expected. Seems like there were a lot of applicants from the State Security this year!
Dong Xuebing … Dong Xuebing …
