The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 70
The next day, early morning.

As soon as the sky outside the window was dawning, Chen Jing got up from the bed.

He didn't sleep all night.

Fortunately, after transforming into an old descendant, his physical fitness was several times stronger than that of ordinary people, and he didn't feel anything special after staying up several nights in a row.

At least I don't have to be like before, always afraid that I will die suddenly and no one will collect the body at home.

After getting up, Chen Jing first went to take a hot bath.

When he came out wearing a yellow bathrobe with Pikachu on it and saw the messy scene in the living room, he only felt a headache...

"Did you sneak out last night?"

"..."

"What are you looking for after rummaging through boxes and cabinets?" Chen Jing reluctantly picked up the broom and began to clean, picking up an empty bag of potato chips, "You can't be looking for something to eat, are you?"

"..."

Seeing that Bai Aji was too guilty to speak out, Chen Jing knew the answer.

Forget it, don't blame it.

After all, it was agreed to treat it to barbecue yesterday, but all the barbecue meat went into Li Mobai's and his own stomachs.

"After eating, remember to take out the trash. If you should throw it in the trash can, you should throw it in the trash can. Don't throw it on the ground, understand?"

"it is good!"

Hearing this crisp answer, Chen Jing felt like a mother for a while.

How is this like having a baby?
He hadn't even found a partner yet, yet he actually lived a life of raising a baby ahead of time... But fortunately, at least the child is still obedient.

"Yes, that's the trash can, and all those messy things, throw them in there for me, and remember to put the lid on after throwing out the trash!"

At the moment, the living room is like a quagmire.

There was a black liquid like asphalt all over the place.

Sitting cross-legged on the lazy sofa, Chen Jing taught Bai Aji how to use his paws to throw garbage, while chewing slowly with a popsicle.

Although those animal claws coming out of the black water look very strange, but it is undeniable that... this guy is really a fast learner!

Soon, Chen Jing began to think about how to teach it to do laundry, cooking and housework.

With Bai Aji's help, within half an hour, the messy rental house took on a new look.

Even under the "erosion" of those asphalt-like liquids, the floor is as bright as a mirror, and even the slightest bit of dust cannot be seen.

Chen Jing gave Aji a thumbs up in satisfaction, and he was not stingy with his praise.

"Good boy, you really did a good job!"

Parents have to praise their children for doing well. After all, cultivating children's enthusiasm for doing housework starts with praise...

It wasn't until he was so embarrassed that he praised Aji that Chen Jing started wandering around the house while talking on the phone.

He wants to take stock of what luggage he needs to take, after all, he will be moving to Sentinel Hill soon...

"Yes, Brother Zhao, I don't want half a month's salary, and my sudden resignation will also affect you...Okay, then I'll come over later."

hang up the phone.

Chen Jing immediately started to pack his luggage.

In fact, there are not many things that need to be taken away, except for electronic products, there are no big things.

The furniture in the house basically belonged to the landlord. As for the lazy sofa and other miscellaneous things that he bought later, he had no intention of taking them away.

The landlord is an old aunt.

When she first came to rent a house, she exempted Chen Jing from the deposit because of Chen Jing's "beautiful and delicious" appearance, so now she suddenly quit the rent and wanted to move out, which made Chen Jing a little embarrassed...

Fortunately, he has already paid next month's rent in advance, and the remaining rent will be regarded as compensation, and such a small hardcover apartment in the downtown area should not worry about customers.

"Oh, Xiao Chen, do you think the rent is too high?" The landlady on the other side of the phone was still persuading her earnestly, "If you think the rent is not suitable, Auntie can come and talk to you! "

"Aunt Zhang, it's mainly because there are still things to do in my hometown... If I have a chance when I come back from work, I will definitely rent your house again!"

"Are you leaving tomorrow? How about two days later?" The landlady on the other end of the phone was extremely enthusiastic, "Auntie is coming to cook you a meal?"

"No need, Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. The main reason is that we have agreed over there and must go back tomorrow..."

For this old aunt who came to ask her every now and then, Chen Jing was somewhat afraid.

"Aunt Zhang! I have cleaned everything at home! When I leave tomorrow, I will leave the key on the fire cabinet outside! Remember to come and get it!"

Before the landlord could say anything else, Chen Jing said hastily.

"Thank you, Auntie, for your care. If there is a call from my side, I will hang up first! I will contact you later when I have a chance!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jing let out a sigh of relief.

He had already packed his luggage and placed it at the entrance.

What he has to do now is to take the time to go out and go to the company to go through the resignation procedures.

Although the company is not far from where he lives, it will take time to go through the resignation procedures, and he dare not delay...

When Chen Jing returned to the rental house again.

It is already evening.

As soon as he entered the community, he saw Li Mobai standing downstairs smoking a cigarette.

"I thought you were going to let me go!" Li Mobai ran over the moment he saw Chen Jing, still complaining, "Didn't I tell you not to run around!"

"I went out for something ahead."

"Where have you been?"

"Let's go through the resignation procedures." Chen Jing held a cup of milk tea in his hand and drank it leisurely with a straw in his mouth. "I plan to go back to Sentinel Hill to live for a while."

Hearing this, Li Mobai seemed to be slightly taken aback.

Although this micro-expression change was almost fleeting, Chen Jing could see it very clearly.

"Why did you suddenly think of going back?" Li Mobai asked calmly, with a worried expression that didn't seem to be faked, "Did something happen at home?"

"Well, my grandfather is missing." Chen Jing sucked a pearl with a straw and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

"Your grandfather disappeared?! When did it happen?!"

"Yesterday, maybe the day before yesterday..."

Chen Jing said without changing his face, and repeated the words he used to deal with the police.

he said.

While observing the expression on Li Mobai's face.

"The old man called me that day and said he was not feeling well, so I hurriedly asked for leave and rushed back to have a look..."

Chen Jing sighed and put on a sad expression.

"You also know that the mountain road over my house is not easy to walk. In addition, I had a bit of heatstroke that day, so I walked slowly. As a result, it rained heavily before I got home. I had to find a place to shelter from the rain at night... "

Li Mobai listened very seriously, and he didn't know why.

"When the rain stopped, I went home and saw that the house looked as if it had been burglarized. It was turned into a mess and the old man disappeared..."

"Did you call the police?" Li Mobai asked.

Chen Jingjing nodded, his expression becoming more and more helpless.

"Of course I called the police. They asked me to wait for the news. They are still investigating, but I want to go back and have a look. Maybe I can find some clues..."

"When are you leaving?" Li Mobai frowned.

"Tomorrow."

Chen Jing yawned, cleaning and going through resignation procedures, he was a little tired after a busy day.

"Didn't I promise to accompany you to the class reunion? It just so happens that I have a good meal tonight, and I will be on my way tomorrow morning."

"Why do you sound so unlucky..."

Li Mobai looked at Chen Jing helplessly, feeling that this kid's temper hadn't changed, after all these years, he could still piss people off with just a few words.

"Why don't I send you to Sentinel Ridge now, and I'll accompany you, or I don't feel at ease if I let you go back alone."

"It's okay, I'll just go back alone..." Chen Jing smiled, "Should we go to the restaurant at this point?"

At this moment, Li Mobai seemed to have no intention of going to the class reunion to eat melons and listen to gossip.

He had a solemn face, as if he was also worried about the disappearance of Grandpa Chen Jing.

"Are you going?"

"what?"

"Didn't you ask me to accompany you to the class reunion?" Chen Jing said helplessly, "If I don't go, I'll go home and cook. I'm hungry..."

"Go! Go now!" Li Mobai came back to his senses and said hastily, "I parked the car outside, let's drive there directly! It will take 10 minutes!"

"Do you have an umbrella in the car?" Chen Jing asked suddenly.

Li Mobai froze for a moment, shook his head and said no.

"Then wait for me to get home and get an umbrella." Chen Jing pointed to the cloudy sky above his head, "I guess it will rain tonight."

"Rain? The weather forecast didn't say..."

Li Mobai raised his head in doubt, only to realize that the sky had already changed.

"What's going on... It wasn't like this just now..."

He remembered very clearly that when he got off the car 10 minutes ago, there was still a blue sky and white clouds above his head, but now it was dark.

Thick rain clouds are crazily churning in the sky. They seem to be closer to the ground than before, as if they will drag the sky and fall together at any time.

"It is going to rain."

At this moment, Chen Jing heard a damp smell in the air.

"You go to the car and wait for me first, I will come soon."
