While Zhao Jiayi and the others in the dorm predicted how no one girl would be willing to pay attention to Hao Ren for the next three years, Hao Ren had left the school in a panic. He called a taxi and was on his way to the hospital that had the best skin clinic - Huaxi Hospital.
There, Hao Ren went through a variety of convoluted administrative procedures and exhaustive examinations. Afterwards, while handling the stack of examination results from that equipment, the skilled dermatologist firmly told Hao Ren that the mark on his hand was caused by a type of dye that faded on the mattress cloth[1] with poor quality there are no mutations in the cells in the body. All the results of the various tests showed no peculiarities. Moreover, its green color is not the result of pigmentation. As for the scales-shaped patterns are just a mere coincidence - the colors happen to spread in a similar pattern. Most importantly, the mark on his hand was definitely not contagious.
Although not really convincing, this explanation was enough to make Hao Ren believe and calm him for a while.
After receiving the results of the examination, Hao Ren left the hospital and returned to school. When she started to vigorously rub her hands with soap, she noticed that her green color seemed to fade a little. After scaring and exhausting himself for half a day for no reason, he replaced his bed mattress with a clean mattress and fell asleep.
The sun on Friday afternoon shone through the curtains and landed on Hao Ren's butt.
"Rin! Ren!"
At that moment, the dormitory door was knocked on very hard.
"Damn! Who'sis that? " Zhao Jiayi who occupied the bottom bed, took out a pillow and threw it at the door.
"Ren, there's a beautiful girl waiting for you!" From behind the door came the sound of Gu Jiandong living in dorm room 301, right across from their room
" Beautiful girl? Pretty girl?" Dazed and absentminded, Zhou Liren immediately woke up from his dream and rose to an upright position. Since Zhou Liren was rejected by the most popular girl at university, he lost his courage to pursue a relationship. However, he was still able to maintain his penchant for admiring beautiful girls.
"Ren, let's get up! Cao Ronghua told me to come and call you. Because of the beautiful girl waiting for you there, many people have gathered at the entrance of the Green Hill Canteen! You have a lot of spectators!" Gu Jiadong continued to shout from behind the door.
"What are you talking about?" Slowly stroking his slightly aching stomach, Hao Ren thought of something else. As he raised his hand, the circular green mark trail became visible. The markings do not disappear, but also do not enlarge. He felt a little relieved.
Duk, duk, hump! The knocking continues
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Hao Ren jumped out of bed and opened the door.
At that moment, Zhao Jiayi who was in the bottom bed was already unable to sleep anymore and reluctantly got up from her bed. On the other hand, listening to the word "beautiful girl", Zhou Liren had excitedly started dressing.
"So many people have surrounded the entrance of the Green Hill Canteen. Cao Ronghua and I were on our way to grab some food and thought there was a mess going on. We went there to check and found there was a beautiful girl waiting for someone." Seeing Hao Ren finally opening the door, Gu Jiadong explained in haste.
"But, that doesn't mean he's waiting for me, does it? A joke like this was more fitting for Zhou Liren. I'm not interested!" exasperatedly Hao Ren looked at Gu Jiandong. Yesterday his stomach hurt a lot and he couldn't sleep until midnight. Now, being woken up by a futile commotion like this made him even more annoyed.
"Let me finish first !" Gu Jiandong held onto Hao Ren tightly. "The beautiful girl had a piece of photo in her hand and it was really you! He said who brought you to him got the 500 Yuan reward!"
"Me?" Hao Ren looked puzzled. Then he locked his eyes on Gu Jiadong, "You're here for his 500 Yuan, huh?"
"Heehee.." Gu Jiadong's smile was a little too bright.
At that time a growing uproar approached the outside of the dormitory building. Hao Ren walked towards the balcony and saw a large group of students he knew running wildly towards his dorm room. He could tell they were all chasing him for the reward. Therefore, he immediately put on his clothes and shoes and followed Gu Jiadong down the stairs.
As the chairman of the dormitory, Zhao Jiayi was worried about any unexpected accident. Therefore, he swiftly left the comfort of sleeping, dressing, and accompanying Hao Ren wherever they went. Zhao Jiayi was most familiar with Hao Ren. Although he usually spoke a slobbery and often bothered Hao Ren, he was also the one who paid the most attention to Hao Ren.
As for Zhou Liren, he was unwilling to lose the chance to meet beautiful girls.
The south building of the dormitory is located off campus. As the four walked along the south entrance and entered the campus, they saw many bulletin boards along their path, which they had seen, big or small - all filled with search posters with photos of Hao Ren pencil sketches on it. Below the photos, written in a striking large caption, "Gift 500 Yuan by bringing me the person above - come to claim the prize in the canteen driveway!"
Judging from the many bulletin boards in the school, there were at least several hundred of these posters. This is no different from being sought on a national scale!
" What did you do to that girl that she came all the way to our school, made you the man you were looking for?" zhou Liren curiously asked Hao Ren as he enthusiastically expected his answer.
"How do I know? I don't even know him!" hao Ren replied impatiently.
Escorted by the large horde, Hao Ren reluctantly walked towards the canteen. In this situation, there was no way out for him
"He's coming. He's coming!" Seeing that the wanted man had appeared, some of the students began to shout mockingly.
As a result, the horde that had been jostling, automatically split apart, giving way to Hao Ren.
Under the eyes of several hundred people, Hao Ren awkwardly walked towards the door of the cafeteria, and saw the beautiful little girl yesterday.
He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of faded jeans. Very ordinary clothes but looks very extraordinary for him. Her hair was blown by the wind. However, under her fluttering hair, there was a trace of an angry face.
Someone started to scoff.
"Beautiful girl," whispered Zhao Jiayi who claimed she had countless girlfriends, into Hao Ren's ears.
"When did you meet such a beautiful girl? Introduce us!" while saying so Zhou Liren turned around and winked at Hao Ren. He wanted to get another chance with a beautiful girl.
Seeing that Hao Ren had finally appeared, the beautiful little girl pursed her lips.
Suppressing the awkwardness he felt, he walked over and asked under the many piercing gazes, "I heard you looking for me?"
"Did you take something from me yesterday?" Gazing directly into Ren's eyes, the beautiful little girl asked firmly.
"What's? What stuff?" Hao Ren did not expect this from him. He was surprised and confused.
Now that they had started the conversation, Gu Jiadong immediately came forward and cut off their conversation.rubbing his hands, he said, "So…"
The beautiful girl looked at him and took out her wallet. From his wallet, he took out 500 Yuan and gave it to Gu Jiadong.
The students in the crowd were stunned by this. They didn't really believe this little girl would pay the reward. In addition to being surprised they also regret losing such an opportunity.
Gu Jiadong clasped his money tightly then complacently walked out of the crowd. He had no desire to take part in this commotion anymore because he was afraid that the beautiful girl regretted her decision to give the money to him.
"The little girl is royal and rich! No wonder he was so arrogant." thought Hao Ren secretly to himself.
"You! Did you take anything from me yesterday?" the beautiful girl kept asking Hao Ren.
"What thing?" Hao Ren looked at him with gloomy eyes. He knew with the commotion the girl caused, she had become "famous" at the school.
"Manic, a blue bead" he replied.
"I didn't see it. You must have dropped it somewhere else." Hao Ren replied without thinking anymore.
The audience was a little disappointed with their conversation. They thought somehow the beautiful girl had been bullied and had come for revenge. The fact that he was trying to rediscover a lost item did not appeal to them.
"The beads are soft and bounce." The beautiful girl added, "I'll give you two more minutes, think harder."
"Can we talk somewhere else? " Looking at the observing spies around them, Hao Ren could not help but sigh.
"Just return the things you took from him! No shame you stole from a pretty little girl!" Expecting unrest and trouble some male disciples started yelling at Hao Ren.
"Shut up! You have no right to speak here!" The beautiful little girl was immediately enraged by their words.
For a moment, the male disciples were stunned. Despite being annoyed, they did not feel it was worth to lose their patience here.
"The show's over, guys! Let's disperse….Disperse!" Zhao Jiayi assessed the dispute and realized it was just a minor dispute. With the help of Zhou Liren and some friends, they began to disperse the crowd.
Not caring about the other actions, the beautiful little girl only focused on Hao Ren, "That thing is precious to me, I hope you return it to me."
"But I don't know what you're talking about.." Before Hao Ren finished talking, the little girl stuck out her hand and covered her mouth.
"I can feel it right here, right where you are." After he finished, he furrowed his brows and looked like he was listening to something well.
Suddenly his hand reached for Hao Ren's stomach.
As Hao Ren was trying to shift his stomach from his grip, the beautiful little girl suddenly held tightly to her wrist and rolled up her sleeves - a tattoo shaped like a green dragon unfolded!
