225: Chapter 225

He immediately stood up, apologized to the teacher, and then turned to leave the classroom.

When he reached the door, he stared intently at Lin Xiao and whispered something.

Reading his lips, Lin Xiao realized it seemed to be: "I will be back."

He helplessly held his forehead, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

However, what made him feel even more powerless was another bolt from the blue!

The Counselor sent a message in the group chat: they were going to the fire brigade for military training!

Because Lin Xiao had arrived at school a semester late, he thought he had escaped military training.

Only now did he realize that their grade's military training had been postponed due to certain issues.

Now that the issues were resolved, they had even found a better location for military training.

A fire brigade!

Other universities just hired instructors to conduct training within the school.

But for them, they were going deep into the brigade for training!

The school seemed very proud of this unique decision; after all, not everyone could receive such treatment.

But the students were complaining bitterly in private!

Lin Xiao looked at the message on his phone, trembling, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The sky was falling!

He had wanted to slack off at school to avoid studying at the company.

Now, he hadn't managed to slack off, but had fallen into a trap instead.

The military training would last for fourteen days, and they would have to live in the fire station, sleeping on those large bunk beds.

Packing his things in the dormitory, Lin Xiao called Lin Chuge.

"Hello, Eldest Sister, are there still many files I haven't finished reading at the company? How about I come back right now!"

He tried to make his tone sound as natural as possible.

Otherwise, Lin Chuge would definitely deliberately refuse just to mess with him.

However, Lin Chuge's voice on the other end remained cold.

"No need, I'm on a business trip out of town temporarily."

"..."

A business trip?

How could it be such a coincidence that she was on a business trip at this exact moment!

Was this a real coincidence, or a long-planned scheme?

Lin Xiao called Second Sister, Lin Baixuan.

"A-Xiao, what's wrong? I'm helping out at the medical school's urology department these few days. If you're free, you can come over and be a case study for me."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao broke out in a cold sweat.

He hung up the phone without a second word.

Recalling his previous experience of being watched and discussed by everyone at the Hospital, he felt his scalp tingle.

Let him be a guinea pig?

And a guinea pig for the urology department?

Forget it!

Having no other choice, Lin Xiao had to call Third Sister, Su Yu, to ask if her law firm needed any help.

But this time, it was even more direct; the call was hung up immediately after two rings.

A message followed immediately.

"Busy, handle your own problems."

Along with it came a bank notification: 300,000 yuan.

Lin Xiao usually liked money.

But given the current situation, he...

Alright, he still liked money.

Seeing the balance increase, his anxious mood eased slightly.

Next, he called Fourth Sister, Lin Su.

This time, the call connected quickly, but after he said "Hello" for a long time, he heard no response from the other end.

He could only hear Lin Su busy lecturing the company's new artists.

"I'm telling you all, since you're debuting, you must pay attention to your words and actions. Remember, don't be hasty for quick success!"

"Recently, I've noticed you accepting fan gifts indiscriminately, and some of you are posting weird things on Weibo. This is not allowed!"

"..."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and finally hung up the phone silently.

He called Fifth Sister, Lin Ran.

"Hello, A-Xiao, what's wrong?"

"..."

Hearing this normal voice, Lin Xiao was so excited he wanted to cry.

But before he could speak, he heard Lin Ran say: "You must have heard that my new drama has wrapped up, and you came specially to congratulate me, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Lin Xiao didn't know about this, but for the sake of his upcoming request, he bit the bullet and admitted it.

However, the next second, Lin Ran's voice carried a hint of sobbing, "A-Xiao, let me tell you, although the filming has wrapped up, I still feel like I'm immersed in it. This female lead is really too miserable; she suffered from start to finish. I feel sad just thinking about it now. How could there be such a tragic life..."

Listening to the crying voice on the other end, Lin Xiao tried to interrupt several times, but failed.

The final result was that he silently listened to Lin Ran's venting, comforted her a few words, and then silently hung up the phone.

Not knowing if he was affected by Lin Ran's emotions, he felt even more miserable.

After spending several minutes adjusting his emotions, he called Sixth Sister, Lin Wanwan.

"Sister, has the matter at your school been resolved? Do you still need my help?"

"It should be considered resolved, but the school is conducting strict checks to eradicate all students cross-dressing. There are also new requirements for all male staff; once any signs are discovered, the principal will report it immediately."

Lin Wanwan's voice sounded a bit joyful, "The school strengthening management in this regard is a good thing for us, but you probably won't be able to sneak in anymore."

"Alright."

Lin Xiao hung up the phone with regret once again.

Looking at the contact list on his phone, his last chance was with his parents.

As the saying goes, parents are a child's last resort.

This time, his parents would definitely be able to save him!

Regaining his confidence, Lin Xiao dialed Su Xiumei's number.

"A-Xiao, what's wrong?"

On the other end, his mother's voice was still gentle.

Lin Xiao immediately wanted to explain the current situation, but heard his father's voice on the other end.

"My little sweetie, who are you talking to on the phone?"

Lin Xiao: ??

Su Xiumei giggled: "Oh, it's A-Xiao calling... A-Xiao, I'm on a date with your dad. Your dad prepared a candlelight dinner for me at a very beautiful restaurant and even booked the whole place, saying he wanted to give me a surprise. Oh, I'm so sorry... A-Xiao, if there's nothing important, let's talk later."

Lin Qingshan also said on the other end: "What important business could a son have? Hang up quickly, don't let them disturb our time for two."

"Okay, husband."

Su Xiumei's voice was like a young girl, carrying a hint of coyness.

Having said that, she hung up the phone directly.

Lin Xiao failed to get help and was force-fed a mouthful of dog food instead.

His sky had collapsed once again.
