The Dragon King's Son-in-law
Passing the Trial Period

Not only did Hao Ren not know what to say, but Zhao Yanzi also looked at his mother in astonishment.

Zhao Hongyu smiled as she explained, "I mean, you can sleep on Zi's bedroom floor tonight. Zi's bedroom was quite large. Besides, she also has her own little room, and it's more practical.""Ma!" Zhao Yanzi sulked dissatisfied. No man had ever slept in his room before.

Zhao Hongyu was just about to say Hao Ren was not a stranger, but Hao Ren wiped the soup from his lips and said willingly, "However is Zi a daughter. It's not good for me to sleep in her bedroom. How about I sleep in the guest room?"

Zhao Yanzi turned his head and looked at Hao Ren without saying anything. At first, he thought this 'dirty' uncle would take a chance and sleep in his bedroom and make him feel uncomfortable.

Hao Ren also had his own ideas. On the one hand, he did not want to provoke Zhao Yanzi too much despite the support of his parents. On the other hand, before they officially made clear their relationship, he should still keep his distance from Zhao Yanzi. Otherwise, he might not be able to break away from her if he wanted to in the future.

Zhao Hongyu looked at them and said, "The first floor guest room is too cold. If you don't sleep in Zi's bedroom, sleep in my studio in the upper attic. The room is a little small but still warm."

"That sounds good." Hao Ren nodded.

"But Ren still has to bathe in your little room," Zhao Hongyu turned around, looked at Zhao Yanzi and said.

Zhao Yanzi bit her lips in a complain. "Well," he muttered.

He felt his area was being divided and given to Hao Ren. Even his parents sided with Hao Ren. This made Zhao Yanzi feel troubled. Before he decided to 'married' to Hao Ren, all kinds of relationships without his consent were worth fighting for.

It's his little pride, though he sometimes thinks Hao Ren isn't that bad.

Zhao Hongyu smiled sweetly to soften the atmosphere. "You go up now that you're done eating. Since Hao Ren is sleeping here tonight, we don't have to worry about his time. Take a shower first, be comfortable and help Zi with her schoolwork."

Seeing Zhao Hongyu was about to stand up, Hao Ren rushed to his feet first while picking up some plates and chopsticks. "Auntie, let me help you clean up."

"Haha, it's okay! Let me do it! You go upstairs and take a bath first" Zhao Hongyu said softly.

Hao Ren was a little pushy but failed to affect Zhao Hongyu. She could only thank him because Zhao Hongyu had served him dinner.

After Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi went upstairs, Zhao Hongyu, who was cleaning the table, asked Zhao Guang, "What are you thinking after this period of observation?"

Zhao Guang nodded. "He has a good character, a calm personality, and he is also good to Zi. On the side, there seemed to be signs he had broken through to the second level of the Soul Concentration Scroll. As Elder Lu had said, he was smart and not a showy kid," Zhao Guang said.

"So that means you're officially blessing him. Actually, after a few interactions with him, I also liked him a lot," Zhao Hongyu stopped what he was working on and looked at Zhao Guang, "Also ...what are you planning to do with the Western Ocean? " he asked.

"Fight the soldiers with the generals and cover the water with the ground [1]. There's no point thinking about this now. We can only make Ren increase his strength as soon as possible," Zhao Guang's face turned serious as he said calmly, Hao Ren held the ingredients for their guidance session and entered Zhao Yanzi's bedroom as he smelled a light fragrance.

Despite the heavy rain outside, it had no effect on the silence in this small world. Hao Ren put down the ingredients and asked Zhao Yanzi, "Where's the little room?"

"Oh!!" Zhao Yanzi turned his head and did not answer him.

"I haven't told your parents about you ditching school yesterday," Hao Ren looked at him and said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanzi's ears immediately stood up and her facial expression revealed her anxiety, "You .. how dare you!"

"There's nothing I can't say. In reality you are truanting school," Hao Ren said again indifferently.

"That's ... that's to watch your game!" Zhao Yanzi widened his eyes at Hao Ren and raised his voice.

"Squeaky. I don't remember inviting you. You snuck out on your own, and you blame it on me?" Hao Ren asked.

Zhao Yanzi was silent. Right, ditching school to watch Hao Ren's match was only a small part; the real reason was that he wanted to see how lively the University Athletic Games were.

"Did you see I got first place yesterday?" Hao Ren asked again.

"Is there anything to brag about? Get first place in such a garbage match!" Zhao Yanzi turned his face red and almost wanted to beat up Hao Ren.

Seeing him become so worried, Hao Ren laughed and whispered, "Then why did you come and watch?"

It was true that Zhao Yanzi wanted to see the results of the Hao Ren race, but it greatly angered him as he went to watch it but was also ridiculed by it.

He was so angry and unaware he had done the exact same thing to Hao Ren several times before.

"If you don't want me to tell your parents you're skipping school, improve the midterms ranking in each subject by ten points."

"You're threatening me!" Zhao Yanzi showed his teeth and was eager to bite off Hao Ren's ears.

Hao Ren stuck out his finger and shook it. "I'm not threatening you. That's a condition," he said.

"I won't take it!" Zhao Yanzi took the pillow beside him and threw it at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren avoided him and smiled again. "Don't rush. I'll tell your parents that you're truant if there's no progress on your midterm values."

"Ahhhhhh .. " Zhao Yanzi almost went crazy. He had never experienced such an experience while growing up. Especially since his parents, who used to pamper him, seemed to have now sided with Hao Ren.

"Well, well," Hao Ren comforted him as he felt Zhao Yanzi was about to explode, "I'll take a bath first. Where's the little room?"

"At there. Don't you have eyes?" Zhao Yanzi pointed towards the white cabinet.

Hao Ren walked up to it, opened the door of the white cabinet, and found a well-equipped restroom hidden there. "What the fuck!" he's thinking. If no one had told him about it, how could he have found it?

He walked inside and lit the shower head. Indeed, he wanted to take a bath because his body was sticky from being soaked in rain. However, this was the first time he had bathed in a girl's house.

After he had taken a hot bath and put on a bathrobe, he saw a new set of black pajamas neatly folded on the bathroom door, and Zhao Yanzi could not be found everywhere. After she put it on and walked out of the room, she heard Zhao Yanzi's voice in the next room.

Zhao Hongyu likely heard Hao Ren's footsteps and called out. "Come in, Ren!"

Hao Ren pushed the door carefully and entered the bedroom of old man Zhao Yanzi.

The bedroom was much larger than Zhao Yanzi's bedroom, but the design of the bedroom was also very refined. The arrangement of this bedroom gives a feeling of elegance and comfort.

Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu were both wearing comfortable pajamas. They lay on a bed three meters wide and faced a fifty-four-inch plasma TV, which was playing an entertainment show. Zhao Yanzi lay down between her parents and wore a set of pink pajamas. It seemed like he had taken a bath in the bathroom connected to this bedroom.

Seeing Hao Ren walk in, Zhao Yanzi, who had just chuckled a little, suddenly stopped.

As Hao Ren saw the three-member family having fun, he felt he should not have come in.

Zhao Hongyu woke up, "Have you finished your bath? Leave your clothes in the bathroom. I'll wash it for you, and tomorrow it should be dry."

"Don't matter!" Hao Ren hurried to stop him.

"Don't worry. We're family. You don't have to be ashamed!" Zhao Hongyu ignored Hao Ren's intentions, stepped out of the door and went to Zhao Yanzi's room to pick up her clothes.

"Do you want to watch TV?" Zhao Guang asked Hao Ren.

"Uh, no thanks," Hao Ren stood at the door and said blankly.

"You're still too tense, Ren," Zhao Guang said to Hao Ren. Then he patted Zhao Yanzi on the shoulder and said, "Go learn, don't let your mother down."

Zhao Yanzi stood up from the bed reluctantly, jumped onto the carpet and put on a pair of pink cartoon sandals.

Zhao Guang looked at their opposite figures, tall and short; black and pink as they exited the bedroom. His eyes looked far away as he sighed meaningfully.
