Chapter 38: My life is over

"It seems everyone sitting in this circle knows," Qiao Sang said speechlessly.

"Isn't it better to share the joy than to enjoy it alone?" Fang Sisi said with a smile.

Qiao Sang couldn't hold back her laughter, "Hahaha, you have a point."

"Hahahahaha..." Fang Sisi also laughed out loud.

Although she had told many people about this, it still felt so funny every time she told it.

The two giggled at each other for a while. When they were tired of laughing, Qiao Sang asked: "Why doesn't the head teacher just buy a bottle of Fern-Root Gel to use?"

Fern-Root Gel is extracted from the Fern-Egg Basin.

Every time the Fern-Egg Basin closes its eggshell while sleeping, when it wakes up in the morning, a small amount of gel will flow out when the eggshell separates, which is called Fern-Root Gel.

This kind of gel has a miraculous effect of promoting hair growth, which is much more time-saving and labor-saving than hair transplantation.

"A bottle of Fern-Root Gel is worth half a year's salary for the head teacher. How cheap is a direct hair transplant?" Fang Sisi said.

Indeed, things involving extraordinary creatures these days are ridiculously expensive.

Although hair is the life of middle-aged men, the head teacher still has a wife and children to support, so it's impossible to spend a large sum of money to buy a bottle of Fern-Root Gel for himself.

Thinking about it this way, Qiao Sang felt that the head teacher was also quite pitiful.

Teacher Ji, who taught the third period of Pet Beast and Nature, was someone who loved to ask questions, especially to students with poor grades.

In the past, Qiao Sang was often called by name. Since she hadn't been there for the past few days, this pressure was shared by several people close to Qiao Sang's ranking.

"The Round-Spotted Bud evolves into a Poison-Powder Jasmine in the Lianke region," Teacher Ji said, stating the correct answer to the second fill-in-the-blank question on the test paper. After speaking, he reached out and lifted his glasses, asking: "Then who knows what the evolved form of the Round-Spotted Bud is in the Liao Xi region?"

Some pet beasts have fixed evolved forms, while some pet beasts will evolve into different forms according to different evolutionary materials and evolutionary environments.

The Round-Spotted Bud is the latter. Currently, it is known to have four different evolutionary forms in different environments.

The students sitting below all lowered their heads and stared at the test paper, fearing that if they raised their heads, they would accidentally make eye contact with Teacher Ji.

This test paper was issued last week. Qiao Sang didn't have one and was looking at Fang Sisi's while leaning sideways.

Teacher Ji's eyes looked toward the area where Qiao Sang, Fang Sisi, Guo Linze, and a bunch of academic underachievers were gathered.

Guo Linze instantly became nervous. He had been called up to answer questions quite a few times recently. His eyes drifted and he spotted Qiao Sang sitting in front of him to the left.

"Qiao Sang, you don't have a test paper, I'll give you mine," Guo Linze patted Qiao Sang on the shoulder and whispered.

We've been talking about the test paper for more than ten minutes, and you're giving it to me now?

Qiao Sang wanted to refuse. As soon as she raised her eyes and was about to turn her head, her eyes met Teacher Ji's.

"Qiao Sang, you answer."

Qiao Sang: "..."

Guo Linze, you scheming man!

"Ice-Powder Jasmine," Qiao Sang stood up and answered.

Teacher Ji looked at her answer and asked again: "Then what about in the Xilü region?"

"Grass-Powder Jasmine," Qiao Sang said.

"Answered very well, sit down," Teacher Ji nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Does anyone know in which region the last kind, Water-Powder Jasmine, evolves?"

Qiao Sang sat down, turned around, grabbed the test paper on Guo Linze's desk, and smiled: "Then I won't be polite."

Guo Linze was caught off guard. He tried to press the test paper with his hand but failed. His hand touched the desk and made a loud noise.

"Guo Linze, you stand up and answer."

Guo Linze: "...!"

Soon it was time for the break.

"Qiao Sang, the head teacher is calling you," study committee member Ma Xiao walked over.

What should come will eventually come.

Qiao Sang put down her book and came to the office with a mood completely different from last time.

"You've asked for leave for so many days, come and fill out the leave request form," the head teacher opened the drawer and placed a leave request form on the desk.

Qiao Sang's eyes uncontrollably looked at the head teacher's head.

Still a wig, and I don't know what it looks like under the wig...

"Qiao Sang," the head teacher called Qiao Sang's name, his tone a bit dangerous.

Qiao Sang quickly picked up her pen and filled out the leave request form.

"Is your mom okay now?" the head teacher asked.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and replied: "She's fine."

After the leave request form was filled out, the head teacher picked up the notebook placed on the side and put it in front of Qiao Sang, "You've fallen behind a lot in your review progress these past few days. This is the notebook of my previous student. He scored 632 points in the high school entrance exam. Go back and read it carefully."

The full score for the high school entrance exam is 650. Scoring 632 points is really not low.

Qiao Sang was silent for a while and didn't refuse. This is indeed what she needs most right now.

"Thank you, teacher."

The head teacher waved his hand, signaling that she could go.

Qiao Sang couldn't describe the feeling. The head teacher might have some shortcomings, but who doesn't have shortcomings? At least he has nothing to say to his students.

Even if the cause was because of her that he lost his precious hair, isn't he not abusing his power to do anything to her now?

Qiao Sang was filled with emotion and asked with concern: "Teacher, is your hair okay?"

The head teacher's expression froze, and he stood there in a daze.

After a while, the head teacher took a deep breath and said: "Would your mom really delay you from coming to school for so long because she was sick?"

Qiao Sang: "..."

After school in the afternoon, Qiao Sang decided to confess directly to her mother.

If some things were said from her mouth versus from the head teacher's mouth, the consequences would definitely be different.

Who would have thought that when she got home, her mother hadn't returned yet.

"Fire-Tooth Dog, you mop here, I'll mop there," Qiao Sang took a wet rag, handed it to the Fire-Tooth Dog, and pointed to the right half of the living room.

Qiao Sang had already thought about it. When her mother came home and saw the room clean, the floor mopped, and the meal cooked, even if she had a big temper, it would dissipate quite a bit.

"Ya!"

The Fire-Tooth Dog responded happily, stepped on the rag with one paw, and began to act.

It was seen that the Fire-Tooth Dog stepped on the rag with its right limb, exerted force with its left limb, kicked backward, and its body slid forward a distance along with the rag.

"Ya."

"Ya-ya~"

It cried happily while mopping.

It was clearly physical labor, but the Fire-Tooth Dog did it as if it were playing some fun game.

What a good child.

Qiao Sang was full of relief and mopped the left half of the living room with a mop.

In the twilight, the pale orange light shone on the floor through the glass, and also on the girl and the Fire-Tooth Dog.

Everything was so quiet and beautiful.

The Fire-Tooth Dog stepped on the rag happily, stepping faster and faster, sliding faster and faster.

"Bang!"

A loud noise broke this quiet moment.

Qiao Sang looked up and saw a pile of broken porcelain beside the Fire-Tooth Dog.

Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat. Before she could think too much, she threw down the mop, ran to the Fire-Tooth Dog, picked it up, checked it, and asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"

"Ya!"

The Fire-Tooth Dog cried loudly and wagged its tail to indicate it was fine. It pointed to the celadon fragments on the ground with its paw.

"Ya-ya-ya."

"Ya-ya."

"Ya-ya."

After the Fire-Tooth Dog finished explaining, it felt a bit guilty, and its ears drooped.

"It doesn't matter if the vase is broken, as long as you're okay."

After Qiao Sang comforted the Fire-Tooth Dog, her gaze turned back to the fragments on the ground.

She remembered that her mother brought this back when she was traveling in the Lianpo region. There seemed to be a signature of a Beast Tamer her mother liked on the bottom of the bottle...

"Click."

Just at this moment, the door opened.

Qiao Sang turned her head to look at her mother's face, and four words appeared in her mind.
