Chapter 459 Who Doesn't Want to Accompany Me!!
take a nap. He got home around 8 or 9 PM that evening; his grandmother was surprised yet delighted by her grandson Hao Ren’s sudden return.Seeing his grandmother's overly joyful expression, Hao Ren he...Chapter 459 Who Doesn't Want to Spend Time with Me!!
After finishing the exam paper, Hao Ren's thigh was also feeling sore from Zhao Yanzi's pressure.
However, her body was soft like a big kitten being held in both hands, and she didn’t cause any other discomfort to Hao Ren.
"Is there anything you still don't understand" Hao Ren turned his head to look at her and asked.
Zhao Yanzi's skin was the best at this age. Her face had no blemishes, as smooth as a porcelain doll.
"None!" Seeing Hao Ren staring at her, Zhao Yanzi shrugged her shoulders and suddenly bumped into his chin, almost causing Hao Ren to bite his tongue.
She used both hands to support herself on the table, acting like a nimble kitten jumping back to her own chair from Hao Ren's.
The spot where Zhao Yanzi had been lying in front of Hao Ren was still warm. Looking at Zhao Yanzi again, he thought she really looked like a cat that you couldn't catch.
She clings to me if she likes me, but I can’t even touch her if she doesn’t like me.
Hao Ren looked at the tender white neck peeking out from between Zhao Yanzi's black hair, saying, "You've been very well-behaved lately. Have you been studying diligently and not going to play with Xiao Ling"
"She has a boyfriend now." As she copied down the few questions Hao Ren had just given her, Zhao Yanzi said casually.
"From where" Hao Ren asked offhandedly.
"Class 3, Liu Yuntao. He's quite good at basketball," Zhao Yanzi replied while copying down the question, tilting her head.
"Maintain your posture." Hao Ren stretched his hands out and straightened her body.
"Annoying..." Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes at Hao Ren, bit on her pen cap, thought about Hao Ren's few steps for solving the problem, then copied them down quickly.
With her sitting next to him, Hao Ren couldn’t help but feel that she was just an ordinary middle school girl.
"Have any boys been sending you love letters recently" Hao Ren continued to ask.
"Who would dare They all know I have a boyfriend," Zhao Yanzi said casually while her black eyes darted around the paper, moving between the words on it.
Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Hao Ren, "You don't need to overthink it!"
Hmm...Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that he hadn’t been overthinking anything.
"Sun Yi from Class 6 is quite handsome. Now he's the captain of the soccer team," Zhao Yanzi stuck out her tongue as she copied試卷 (test papers) and spoke.
"I used to be part of the soccer team too," Hao Ren said.
"Really" Zhao Yanzi raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah, I was a goalkeeper." Hao Ren nodded.
“Tch…” Zhao Yanzi showed an expression of disdain and continued, “Xie Xiaofeng from the high school division rides his motorcycle to class every day. Many girls in our middle school division like him too.”
Zhao Yanzi chattered on about school affairs; perhaps it was because Little Ling had a boyfriend recently and no one talked to her, so she vented all this to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren listened helplessly to her complaints. Indeed, Zhao Yanzi came across as an elementary school girl. And considering his character and actions, he definitely wasn’t the type to attract middle school girls’ affection.
"Xie Xiaofeng actually asked me this weekend if I wanted to go sing with him," Zhao Yanzi continued.
"You can't go!" Upon hearing that, Hao Ren immediately sat up and blurted out without thinking.
Zhao Yanzi turned around to look at him, "Why not"
“Because...because..." Hao Ren's tongue was tied; he didn’t know what to say.
"After the exam, you should relax a bit. Little Ling is going with her boyfriend to buy things, and I don't want to be an unwanted third wheel," Zhao Yanzi said.
“I’ll go singing with you,” Hao Ren replied.
“Who asked for your company” Zhao Yanzi wrinkled her nose. "You’re such an uncle
."
"I...I..." Hao Ren pointed at himself, feeling choked up.
Zhao Yanzi pushed Hao Ren's chair back, saying, “I’m going to sleep now, you should go home.”
She folded the copied test papers and put them into her school bag, estimating that she would need to review them again during class time tomorrow. Then she walked towards the bed, kicked off her slippers, slid under the blanket.
Hao Ren helplessly watched her, slightly sighed, opened the balcony door of Zhao Yanzǐ's room, and flew toward Donghai University riding on a sword made of air.
Xie Yuji was reviewing in the self-study classroom on the fourth floor. As soon as Hao Ren returned to Donghai University, he went straight to the classroom to find her. Zhao Yanzǐ faced final exams, and Hao Ren needed to tutor him; however, Hao Ren also had his own final exams to prepare for, so he needed Xie Yuji to tutor him.
Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang never had high expectations of him but set the minimum requirement that he should pass every subject. Hao Ren did not want to receive parental lectures, thus he must study hard; his situation was quite similar to Zhao Yanzǐ’s.
"Young Master!" Just as Hao Ren entered the classroom, Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 also appeared.
They were holding thick books and notes, obviously here to review their lessons too.
Bai Xiao wagged its tail and ran ahead of Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉.
This creature, having escaped Hao Ren's control for a while now, was very familiar with the layout of Donghai University. It would run to the graduate building to find the Lu sisters, then to the dormitory area in the south campus to look for Xie Yuji, and finally roll around outside the library begging for food.
Most female students on campus were already quite familiar with this small dog that ran around everywhere; they would always keep some snacks in their bags to feed it when they met it by chance.
The gardener responsible for maintaining the greenery at school was extremely busy lately. He found that many shrubs had grown wildly, almost unrecognizable after just a few days without trimming, making him wonder if the species of these plants had changed.
With final exams approaching, self-study classrooms were overcrowded. Xie Yuji reserved a seat for Hao Ren but there was no more space when Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 entered.
"Let's find another place," said Hao Ren.
"Where" asked Xie Yuji, lifting her head.
Hao Ren smiled.
Half an hour later, they appeared in the ethereal peak of Fifth Heaven. Bai Xiao curled up comfortably in its doghouse to enjoy the special cave dwelling's cozy environment.
Xie Yuji went out and found that there were already three sects' names inscribed on Hao Ren’s small board, indicating their acceptance of this task.
Hundred four-grade foundation-building pills was a very significant reward. Although sixth-grade spirit grass was extremely valuable, it had little use for cultivators who couldn't refine them; however, foundation-building pills could greatly increase the success rate of Qi Refinement stage practitioners entering the Foundation Establishment realm. Moreover, one hundred high-quality fourth-grade foundation-building pills were equivalent to several years’ production of these pills by major sects in Fifth Heaven—this information alone was enough to mobilize an entire sect's resources to search for “Ten Thousand Year Black Medicine,” a sixth-grade spirit grass.
Xie Yuji admired Hao Ren’s clever idea of "exchanging medicine for pills." She originally thought that collecting spirit herbs would be a major challenge, but now it seemed clear: as long as the medicinal pills were of high quality and in sufficient quantity, they could motivate Fifth Heaven's cultivators to work hard.
Actually, Hao Ren was quite intelligent... Xie Yuji inwardly rejoiced. Upon returning to her cave dwelling, she saw that Hao Ren and Lu sisters had embedded sixteen egg-sized night pearls at the top of their cave dwelling, making it brightly lit all around.
"Hmm... Let's hang another curtain here." Hao Ren took the blue cloth and hung it at Xie Yujia’s cave entrance.
The cloth was a long robe looted from a Fifth Level cultivator’s storage bag by Zhao Yanzi, which Hao Ren had torn open to use as a windbreaker at the door.
Hao Ren moved the stone table to the center and arranged four stone chairs around it, completing an orderly and cozy study room.
Seeing that Hao Ren had transformed her cave into their unique personal study room, Xie Yujia couldn’t help but smile: Hao Ren was truly capable. Though he seemed clumsy, he always managed to make things feel warm and homely.
"I’ve let Marina copy all the review materials for Zhao Jiayan’s group. This set is for you. While waiting for you just now, I took a little time to highlight important parts." Xie Yujia retrieved several thick sets of photocopies from her backpack and placed them on the stone table.
Hao Ren flipped through them and found that they had been marked up in blue ink again. In other words, this set given to Hao Ren was an “advanced version,” while Zhao Jiayan’s group only had a “basic version.”
Not just that—Xie Yujia could also study alongside him. If there were any questions Hao Ren didn’t understand, Xie Yujia could directly explain them to him.
Liu L琳琳 and Liu 莉莉 envied the thorough preparation by Xie Yujia. They regretted following Liu Qing’s arrangement to enter a less demanding Film Academy instead of studying in the same college as Hao Ren, where they could use the review materials that he had prepared.
"Linelin and Lili, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me or Yujia." Hao Ren told them.
“Thank you, young master!” They both nodded in response.
Liu Linlin wasn’t a petty person. After careful consideration, she felt that Hao Ren hadn’t acted intentionally when he used the sword beam to enter their room, and so had no more grievances against him.
On the contrary, Hao Ren felt guilty about it and thus decided to tutor them during his end-of-term review preparations as well.
Liu Linlin and Liu Lili actually enjoyed living like ordinary people. They felt that becoming a successful commoner would bring them even closer to Hao Ren.
In their view, Hao Ren was shy, not aloof. Every little thing they did, he knew about. The more aware they were of this, the cuter they thought “young master” was.
Meanwhile at the back mountains of Heavenly Mountain Sect in the Sixth Level Sky, a girl wearing a swan yellow brocade robe sat on a crude stone bed鋪著稻草的簡陋石床 that only had rice straw covering it. She stabbed two scarecrows with a small knife.
"Silver Bandit! Wicked woman! Wait until I get out and see how I’ll tear you apart piece by piece!" she gnashed her white teeth, grinding them loudly as she poked the scarecrows repeatedly: "Let you take my jade pendant! Let you take my jade pendant!"
Outside her cave entrance was a layer of white light curtain—the Heavenly Mountain Sect’s prison array—Heavenly Thunder Array.
No one could even step out half a pace, and when Duan Yao merely placed her finger on it, she would be electrocuted until her entire body trembled.of men squeezed around the dorm entrance fell silent.How powerful would that be if directed at a person No wonder Huang Xujie dared not provoke Hao Ren and came over with gifts to apologize personally...
