Chapter 293 A Peaceful Afternoon
On the afternoon of October 10, Xu Ying met Xu Wanyang. The two had not seen each other for nearly two months.
Xu Wanyang took the high-speed rail from Youlong City back to Qichuan City, took a nap at home, and went to her grandparents' house after lunch.
Xu Mingsong also came. He had no reluctance to come this time. He was very happy to meet a big shot who could enter the finals. To his surprise, Mu Zhengguang was also there. He was embarrassed to ask Xu Yingze to show her ability, but it was much easier to ask Mu Zhengguang because they were both boys.
As soon as the four of them met, Xu Ying "selected" Xu Wanyang: "Sister, you moved the wall, do you want to add another building in the yard?"
"Yes, but I have no money. I will build a building when I earn enough money in the future." Xu Wanyang was full of expectations. As a stationmaster's assistant, the salary is not low, and the money can be saved and used to build a house.
Xu Mingsong "selected" Mu Zhengguang: "Brother, let's go to the yard. I have something to tell you."
Xu Wanyang bit her lip lightly. She was not very satisfied with her brother's behavior: You want to take Mu Zhengguang away without saying hello to Xu Yingze, do you think it's possible?
As it turned out, Xu Wanyang was wrong. Xu Ying watched the two boys leave the living room. Although she said nothing, her smile was enough to show her attitude.
"Okay, now that the two little guys are gone, let's talk about adult matters. Is your work going well? Are you having any difficulties?"
The stationmaster Xu Ying chose for Xu Wanyang was also a female college student, and the age difference between the two was not much. They should not have too many barriers when working together. Xu Ying was worried that Xu Wanyang went to school in Youlong City, but her workplace was in a neighboring city of Youlong City. Would this affect her daily life?
Xu Wanyang wanted to say "You are also a kid, you are not an adult either", but it would be inappropriate for her to say these words when the other party mentioned work. At this time, she should not treat the other party as a minor or a sister, but as a leader with rich work experience and ability far beyond ordinary people.
"The work went smoothly. The station manager was very nice to me. I only had to spend a few hours a week helping her write work reports."
"Is it a report sent to the assistant dean of the branch?"
"I don't know. Is there anything special about the report written to the assistant dean of the branch?" After saying this, Xu Wanyang began to think about things that had nothing to do with the question she asked: Was Xu Yingze promoted to assistant dean of the branch?
"Probably not. It's hard to tell. If the stationmaster asks you to do something personal, you must refuse. Even if it's a very small matter, you don't have to help her. This is not the assistant's responsibility. If it's work-related and involves fighting, you must refuse. The stationmaster's fighting ability is definitely better than yours. She can deal with opponents you can't deal with, and other assistants will deal with opponents you can deal with."
Before Xu Wanyang took office, Xu Ying had told her about these things. The two "musts" seem inhumane and inconsistent with regulations, but the regulations do not mention that the stationmaster assistant cannot always do clerical work. The stationmaster assistant assists the stationmaster in his work. As for which part of the assistance is not clearly stated in the regulations, it depends on their own expertise, the leader's preferences, and the power behind them.
"She often says I have a good sister. When I walk with her, I am like a leader and she is like a subordinate." Xu Wanyang is very proud that the stationmaster always does things according to her wishes. The stationmaster never gives her work that she doesn't want to do. She can enjoy such treatment because she has a good sister.
"Let her think whatever she wants. Her assistant has no obligation to fight for him. Working in the research institute is inevitable, and it is actually a very dangerous job. Those big shots in high positions can push many people's life trajectories off their original direction with just a flick of a pen. To the stationmaster's assistant, the stationmaster is a big shot, but to us, the stationmaster is a small shot. I don't want these small shots to treat us casually."
"Yeah, I understand. Thank you for protecting me."
"Let's stop talking about work for now. I want to see what those two little guys are doing."
"Xiaosong is probably observing the heroic performance of Brother Mu Zhengguang."
"Brother Mu Zhengguang's heroic figure is indeed very beautiful. No, he is looking at the heroic figure of the second-order asymptote?"
After hearing the first sentence, Xu Wanyang thought Xu Ying understood. After hearing the second sentence, Xu Wanyang realized that she did not understand what "heroic" meant when she said the first sentence. In her eyes, all of Mu Zhengguang's appearances could be considered heroic, but this was not the heroic that Xu Mingsong wanted to see.
"Yes."
"Let's go take a look too."
In the yard, Xu Mingsong racked his brains to persuade Mu Zhengguang to show his ability, but Mu Zhengguang's attitude was always cold. He threw the hourglass from his left hand to his right hand, and from his right hand to his left hand, almost ignoring the other party's request.
Mu Zhengguang didn't think he needed to show his ability, but the other party was so kind that he couldn't refuse. He took out the hourglass, and the gold sand in the hourglass always kept the same direction of flow during the tossing process. He thought he had done his best, and there was only so much ability he could show.
When Xu Mingsong saw his two sisters walking towards him, he became more nervous: If Xu Yingze knew that I asked Mu Zhengguang to demonstrate his abilities, would she be angry?
Xu Ying was thinking that the little classmate only threw the hourglass and didn't even take out the silver spoon. This was indeed his style.
"Xiaosong, do you want to see the capabilities of a second-order asymptote?"
If this question was asked by his sister Xu Wanyang, he would say "yes". However, if it was asked by his sister Xu Yingze, his answer would have to be changed.
"Do not want to."
"Really? Then I won't show it to you."
Xu Mingsong quickly changed his words: "It's fake."
"Look, this is my ability." Xu Ying summoned a silver spoon. The silver spoon was vertical, with the end facing upwards, and turned at her fingertips. Purple light woven into a square wall, covering the courtyard. As another purple "wall panel" pressed down from the air, looking up, the sky could no longer be seen.
A blue line hung down from the dome, and Xu Ying took a leaf and drew it across the blue line, splitting the leaf into two.
"Xiaosong, go get a bowl from the kitchen." In daily life, Xu Ying rarely had the opportunity to use her abilities so casually. She could feel that this blue light had a strong destructive power, which could cut off a bowl or the bones of a second-order asymptote who was unfolding the asymptotic domain, but this attempt was meaningless.
Xu Mingsong trotted all the way and brought the bowl quickly and obediently.
Only one person entered the room, but a whole family came out.
Xu Mingsong's parents, Xu Yingze's parents, Xu Yingze's grandparents, they all came.
Xu Yingze's expression changed. She opened her eyes wide, took the bowl calmly, and did what she wanted to do step by step.
The vertical line disappeared, and countless lines burst out from the top of the silver spoon. The ends of those lines were on the trees, on the walls, on the ground, and on people.
Xu Ying threw the bowl. The bowl flew very slowly, slowly when it rose and slowly when it fell. It shuttled through countless lines and was divided into countless small pieces.
Ying not only used the silver spoon, but also used running force! She controlled the effect of the line again and again, and reduced the speed of the bowl again and again. In just a dozen seconds, she manipulated the line, the bowl, the memory, and the energy, and finally created the picture she wanted. But is it necessary? Doing so will rapidly consume her physical strength.
Xu Ying thought that it was necessary for her to do all this. After today, this picture will be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Maybe one day, one of them will sell this picture to the enemy, but the enemy will see the effect of the line and the silver spoon, not the effect of the running force.
The light disappeared, the purple wall disappeared, the key disappeared, and as if nothing had happened, there were some broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
Xu Wanyang was surprised but did not forget to instruct his brother: "Xiaosong, sweep the floor later. This is what you need to see, so you should sweep the floor."
Xu Mingsong's face was filled with fear. But luckily, he had his back to everyone, otherwise, if everyone saw the expression on his face, it would be hard to explain.
"Yes. I'll go sweep the floor right away. Sister Xu Yingze, you are so capable."
"Brother Mu Zhengguang's abilities are also very powerful, but he doesn't want to use them too much, so don't bother him."
"Brother Mu Zhengguang", this title is rare. Mu Zhengguang was excited and excited, and almost laughed out loud.
"Yes, I remember it." Xu Mingsong was still frightened: If I had known that he had such ability, I would not dare to pester him even if I had a hundred courage.
When the elders saw this scene in the yard, they all tacitly kept silent and went back to the house together.
Xu Mingsong went to look for a broom.
Xu Wanyang wanted to move the table and chairs out and sit in the yard for a while.
At this time, there were only two people left in the yard.
"Your body..."
"I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while. It's really not easy to control energy in a subtle way. I wonder if it will be better when I reach the third level."
"Well, it's not easy. I'll go get a chair and you sit down for a while."
As soon as Mu Zhengguang finished speaking, he saw Xu Wanyang coming over with two chairs.
Xu Wanyang put the chair on the ground: "You two sit down first, I'll move it later."
Mu Zhengguang felt embarrassed to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, so he also wanted to go into the house to see if he could help in any way, but Xu Ying stopped him.
"Please sit down, brother. I need your help to recover my strength."
Mu Zhengguang exclaimed "Ah!" He finally heard classmate Ying call him "brother" again.
The brother sat down according to his sister's "order", and the two sat very close to each other. They watched the hourglass turn over together and watched Xu Mingsong walking around in the yard, sweeping up the broken porcelain pieces.
After a while, Xu Wanyang brought tables and chairs and joined them.
Xu Mingsong joined in very late, the yard was too big, and the porcelain pieces were scattered over too large an area. He was very tired, but also very happy. He would definitely remember what happened today.
