The bus arrived shortly afterwards. Hao Ren got into the bus, opened the window, and slowly tried to sort through the things that had happened recently while feeling the city wind on his face.
The current situation was that she had a fiance that she did not know, and she made herself enter into a group that she had never heard of. What's more, he was assigned some extra work and gained an additional identity.
Moreover, he forgot to ask Zhao Guang about his group or all related cultivation techniques. He had just met the other two people in Zhao Yanzi's family as their "daughter-in-law.
Zhao Yanzi's father looked a little cold but it was likely someone who was extremely virtuous. Zhao Yanzi's mother was an excellent and clever woman ..that was only the impression that Hao Ren had on them.
"Don't tell me from today I have to go to their house for dinner every day." Hao Ren was a little disturbed. After thinking about the situation for a while, he got off the bus three stops early.
The Xinhua Bookstore, Hao Ren carefully scoured around the high school tutoring area and ended up buying several books such as [Middle School English Language Test Collection] and [Eighth Grade English Language Knowledge Collection].
Walking out of the bookstore with a few heavy books in hand and looking back at the innumerable tutoring books on the shelves, Hao Ren was already filled with sweat. He felt sorry for the high school students who were under a lot of pressure.
Hao Ren suddenly realized the news of him being picked up by the Lincoln Strech Limousine during the day in front of the dorm area must have been widespread among his classmates by now. If he were to return now, he would not be able to avoid their endless questioning. He always tries not to stand out and does not want to get too much attention from others. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he walked across the street and climbed onto the bus that would take him home.
The bus shook slightly and the night slowly came. Hao Ren held a bunch of English learning materials in his hands, still feeling puzzled.
Biip biip biip biip .. suddenly the phone rings.
"Ren, why haven't you come back yet?" After picking up the phone, he heard Zhao Jiayi shout.
"I'm coming home today, what's up?" Hao Ren asked even though he knew why.
"Friend, did you have fun today? What really happened this afternoon? We were all startled by you," Zhao Jiayi asked over the phone.
"Em, there's nothing. It was a relative who at that time, asked me to eat at his house," Hao Ren replied in passing.
"Are you still lying to us? What's with this betrothed situation?" Zhao Jiayi asked in a loud voice from the other side of the channel.
Hao Ren's ears were nearly deaf from Zhao Jiayi's scream. He had to move the phone away from his ear. Even though Zhao Jiayi yelled at him, it was quite touching because Hao Ren understood that his three friends in the dorm were very worried about him and that was why they called. After all what kind of relatives carried two black-clothed bodyguards when they invited someone to eat?
"Some small things. I'll explain to you when I get back on Sunday." Hao Ren said. He was actually unable to say anything about what the Zhao Yanzi family did today. They hope he can keep their group a secret. But on the other hand, the way they acted was so conspicuous that it attracted so much attention.
"But who can imagine how strange their identity is? The greatest geniuses often lied to cover up. Nevertheless, by maintaining too many non-vocal and mysterious attitudes, it might attract more attention than others," Hao Ren continued to wonder.
"Well, we'll wait for you to come back and continue our investigation." Zhao Jiayi hung up the phone.
It was not until this second that Hao Ren realized that there were so many messages from his classmates like Zhao Jiayi including also Class Leader Xie Yujia on his phone.
He sighed and then deleted all the messages at once. He threw his head against the window and rested. It was very late at night when he got home. Her grandmother was very surprised and happy to see her sweet granddaughter.
Seeing the immense joy on his grandmother's face, Hao Ren debates whether he should tell his grandmother about the 'grandson of the future daughter-in-law'. Even so, he decided to keep it a secret after wrestling for a few minutes.
After spending a peaceful weekend with her grandmother, she plans to return to university on Sunday night so she can avoid crazy gossip.
A large pile of small meals was unable to shake Zhao Jiayi's and the others' interest. Hearing Hao Ren return, even the people from the other dorm rooms came flooding in.
"Hi, you caused a great commotion! Pick up a Lincoln Stretch Limousine? I heard that even Chen Ke's super-richest man from the advanced class did not get such treatment," while continuing to pat Hao Ren on the shoulder, Huang Jianfeng from the dorm room opposite the hall said with envy and jealousy.
"We heard about the fiancee. Tell us the truth," Yu Rong from the opposite dorm room also shouted.
"Even the girls are talking about you. They say your family is actually very rich. Hehe, Wang Jia the girl who usually underestimates you, even talks about you as well."
"Don't tell me you deliberately hired some people to do a show to cause a sensation?"
"Oh sweet little girl, what's her name?"
"Friends, you seem quiet at university, but you actually have a lot of girls out there, don't you?"
They began to extend the situation too far, Hao Ren could only remain silent and resigned.
"Well, fine, stop making things up. It was a joke one of my friends set up. I was also afraid of that Friday . I shouldn't have made such a big mess. How do we get out and eat? I'll treat!" He stood up trying to shut their mouths.
These people will not refuse free food. They all rushed out of the dormitory building while dragging Hao Ren along with them.
Although most of them had eaten dinner, they could not refuse an invitation like this to eat the hotpot from Hao Ren. Hao Ren had no choice but to spend the money to apologize to them for his play with the aim of ending it all, Hao Ren more or less had taken care of them What he heard from his close friends was that his behavior also attracted the attention of some men and girls in the upper years. Not only people in their second year but also from other years and majors, had opinions about Hao Ren because of it.
Tall trees always catch a lot of wind. Hao Ren did not think he would get the attention of influential students and also make them disturbed. Surely anyone who shows off will get punished.
After eating and drinking to the satisfaction, all the close friends from Hao Ren's dorm room and the adjacent dorm rooms returned to the dormitory while poking their hands over the other's shoulders.
They met with the vice principal Lu Qing and some university officials who were inspecting the dormitory.
Seeing the vice school principal coming, all who were burping and singing the song instantly restrained himself from deserving to go out and have a drink at night.
Everyone was startled as, Vice School Head Lu Qing simply smiled and waved to them even though he saw them all drunk.
Lu Qing passed by them along with the other university officials, leaving everyone looking at each other in wordless despair.
"Did I just see the vice president waving at us?" Zhou Liren asked puzzledly to Zhao Jiayi after the rumination
The others had no idea of what had just happened.
They thought the vice principal would reprimand them after knowing they were out for drinks or at least asking which major and class they came from. Since they were all still too shocked when they saw the vice principal and struggled for an excuse, the vice principal only graciously waved to them and walked over like nothing had happened.
"Weird things happen every year, but there's more this year" Zhou Liren said, letting out a sigh of relief.
What Hao Ren knew was that Lu Qing was actually saying hi to him. Lu Qing learned of his visit to Zhao Yanzi's house. No doubt, Hao Ren believed Lu Qing was acting that way to encourage him.
The little girl had been greatly desired and loved; no wonder her temperament was so ominous.
Even so, Hao Ren did not share those things with his friends because who knew what they thought if they found the vice principal had protected Hao Ren.
They returned to the dormitory noisily. Some start playing cards while others play their computers. Not until the lights were turned off in the middle of the night did they reluctantly return to their dorm room.
Hao Ren quietly woke up after the other three in the room fell asleep. He went to the balcony to train what is called the "Soul Concentration Scroll"
Moonlight shone on the whole dormitory. Hao Ren felt a weak stream of air circulate within his body then he slowly discarded all disturbing thoughts and entered an invisible realm of dimness
He realized it was four o'clock in the morning when he finished training. There are only a few hours left before class starts. He looked back and found the other three were still sound asleep, so he quietly rushed in and went to sleep
He was full of vigor and energy even though he had just practiced the Soul Concentration Scroll. He recalled the books in his mind and examined them several times because he did not feel tired at all.
He was able to sense the so-called "Chi" by training the scroll for a few days. If these scrolls were revealed to the world, it would definitely shock the entire traditional world of Chikung. Hao Ren's imagination ran wild while he was trying to figure out the various meanings in the scroll.What he had forgotten was that there was a unique Inner Essence in his body that was worth three hundred years of cultivation for normal human.
Unconsciously, morning arrived. Zhou Liren shouted to wake everything up with great energy and vigor. The first class on Monday is Advanced Mathematics. The teacher of the class was a very strict parent. They did not dare to skip class. It seemed, those who had previously truant his class all without exception failed at his final grade.
The four of them rushed to the cafeteria and then hurried to the classroom.
Hao Ren felt quite upset to see all his classmates again after the weekend. Many of his classmates looked back and pointed at Hao Ren. It seems that the news of him being picked up in a Lincoln Stretch Limousine on Friday has left a deep impression.
Hao Ren spent ten minutes copying his homework and handed it to Class Leader Xie Yujia.
"What happened on Friday?" Xie Yujia asked as she took Hao Ren's job. He usually turned a blind eye to a copy of Hao Ren's homework as long as he could pass the exam.
"I was invited by a relative for lunch" Hao Ren said.
"I heard someone mention fiancee." Xie Yujia continued to ask.
Xie Yujia stopped asking. He turned around to collect homework from the back row.
Seeing that, Zhou Liren who was standing next to Hao Ren bumped into Hao Ren with his elbow and said happily, "He seems to be interested in you."
"She will also ask you too if you are picked up a limousine," Hao Ren threw a glance at her and said.
Zhou Liren laughed even more cheerfully. No one knows what it is about.
Class is very boring. Formulas for calculus may be difficult for girls, but not too difficult to understand for people like Hao Ren who was a top-level student in his science class in high school.
Among all courses, the weakest course is English.
Hao Ren took out a collection of three hundred pages of English tests out of his backpack and began working on it.
Zhou Liren who was also not interested in the class moved closer to Hao Ren curiously, "Training English matters?" He was even more surprised when he realized it was a collection of English tests. "What about the middle class? What do you want ? Back to high school?"
"Just wasting time," Hao Ren responded
Zhou Liren did not believe it. "Honestly, are you flirting with girls in high school?"
Hearing their conversation, Cao Ronghua and Zhao Jiayi also approached. "Ren, what are you doing?"
"Good, good." Hao Ren could not take it anymore. "I'll guide a girl."
"A girl? Is she pretty?" zhou Liren's eyes lit up.
"Is that the girl who was looking for you at the university last time?" Thinking for a moment Zhao Jiayi asked.
Hao Ren sighed and said, "That's it."
"No wonder he made such an incredible fuss back then, he's the one you're mentoring." Zhao Jiayi suddenly realized.
"Then he asked someone to pick you up on Friday?" ask Cao Ronghua.
Hao Ren nodded.
"Friends! You're dating a rich little girl now." Zhou Liren placed his hand around Hao Ren's neck and expressed his jealousy.
"Hey, you! What are you talking about back there!" The old man stopped lecturing and stared angrily at the four.
They immediately lowered their heads, pretending to listen carefully.
"Go stand in the corner if you don't want to listen to this class!" The old man continued giving lectures after releasing them one more time.
Xie Yujia looked back towards Hao Ren, shaking her head crazily.
Zhou Liren muttered, lowering his voice, "That little girl is a little wild, but she is very pretty. How about asking him to come here next time."
"No way!" Hao Ren responded in a low voice. Zhou Liren thought Zhao Yanzi was just an innocent little girl, but Hao Ren knew she was not someone who was easy to deal with.
Moreover, if there was anything that bothered or irritated Zhao Yanzi and he complained to Lu Qing about him, Zhou Liren would get into more trouble than he could handle.
Advanced Math Class ends morning. Just as everyone was about to disperse and go to lunch, Class Leader Xie Yujia stood up, "Please everyone stay here, I have something to announce."
Hao Ren was involuntarily surprised. He thinks it's about himself. In fact, he saw Xie Yujia walking to the classroom pulpit. "The Athletics match will take place next week, the university needs at least six people from each class who must take part. Now I have to hang on."[Athletics competitions are where students selected from each class compete in different competitions.]
Xie Yujia was wearing a cool T-shirt and shorts. The usual cartoon t-shirts juxtaposed with lightly washed jeans make it very pretty.
The men who were about to leave all stopped when they saw Xie Yujia.
He stood on his tiptoes and raised his hand trying to get the attention of everyone in the class. Nonetheless, moving while standing on the pulpit made it look like it was posing.
Wearing a small and colorful belt that shows his attractive thin waist that makes his casual wear more striking.
"He is indeed the Class Chair and the most popular girl in the class" Zhou Liren muttered.
Seeing the crowd stop walking and silent, Xie Yujia finally let out a sigh of relief and continued, "I've booked some places, you guys can register the rest."
"First, Yu Rong, throw a bullet."
"Second, Cai Junjie, high jump."
"Third, Chen Han, 400 meters relay."
"Fourth, Hao Ren! The 1,500-meter race!"
His voice sounded louder when the name Hao Ren was mentioned.
"No way.." All those called by his name look unusually resigned.
Zhao Jiayi and the others looked to Hao Ren, feeling elated by his misfortune.
"All shut up for a minute." Xie Yujia raised her hand again. "The four people I've mentioned are just a condition. It depends on the school whether they are chosen or not. Even so, we at least show a positive attitude."
Not getting a response, he asked again, "There are still two empty places. Who wants to sign up? Most of the games are for men and there are only a few women in the class. Can you get more involved?"
Even though he said that, who would want to show his face in public for an Athletic Match? Everyone knows that there are various athletes at the university. In terms of the men in the class, they are all great nerds dealing with computers but have no talent in sports. Who would be willing to embarrass himself in public?
Xie Yujia held back her anger as she saw everyone hesitating. "good. So Zhao Jiayi and Zhou Liren! You two compete in a 100-meter run!"
Zhao Jiayi and Zhou Liren who had just been happy for another misfortune immediately started sulking.
"Em, that's all! Everyone can go to lunch!" Xie Yujia bowed to write down the names on her notes and then announced the dissolution.
Zhou Liren helplessly looked at Xie Yujia walking out of the classroom through the front door. He then suddenly turned to look at Hao Ren and said, "It looks like he's upset with our dorm room!"
"How do I know?" Hao Ren left his words and went out of the classroom through the back door.
Afternoon classes are the same, boring and tedious. Zhou Liren who was sitting next to Hao Ren did not stop complaining about why Xie Yujia had registered him without his consent. Would his "famous reputation" be lost if he lost the match?
"Stop worrying too much, you'll never get a turn. There are countless athletes at the university, how can you be chosen?" Hao Ren could not take it anymore. He stopped writing and glared at her.
"That's not sure. How come no one signed up and they forced me?" ask Zhou Liren.
"Then you can throw yourself to the ground, and all the beautiful girls will remember your sweet face and you will successfully complete your girlfriend search mission" Hao Ren said.
"It's always easy to say! Em, how embarrassing ..." Zhou Liren closed his face and tried to pretend.
Hao Ren did not respond. He continued to work on a collection of tests on English at the high school level. Tonight will be his first time guiding someone.
Biip biip biip ….
The phone that Hao Ren had placed on the table suddenly shook.
He picked up the phone and saw a message from Xie Yujia. "University has decided not to choose the other five people. You're the only one who's gonna compete in the 1,500-meter race. I know you're good at running. You can do it."
Hao Ren was stunned.
