Chapter 562 Who said... that I don't have any?
onghai University’s final exams took place during a week-long rainy season.Hao Ren prepared thoroughly and wasn't afraid at all."Man! Hao Brother! Ren Brother! You've become an exam god!" Zhou Liren f...Chapter 562: Who Said... I Don't Have One
Hao Ren dropped off the Lu sisters at their graduate dormitory and returned to his own dormitory right after, which was just eight o'clock.
Zhen Fei leaving Donghai City greatly reduced the pressure in Hao Ren's heart. Judging from her actions, Zhen Fei passed through Donghai City on her way somewhere else, with Kunlun Mountain being her main destination.
Her brief stay in Donghai City seemed to be for acclimatizing herself to modern society, but this trail of hers put the Dragon God Temple on high alert.
She didn't seem to care much about her son. Hao Ren thought this secretly and dared not say it out loud.
Zhen Fei's powers were unpredictable; who knew when she might suddenly appear again
Zhou Liren and the others had resumed their card game, but Hao Ren went to the balcony instead of joining them. He looked across at Ling Zhao Middle School.
Since Zhao Yanzi’s dormitory light wasn't on, it indicated that they weren’t there. Given that this was not dinnertime anymore, they must have been in one of the classrooms then.
Hao Ren directed his gaze to the slightly distant teaching building and found almost an entire row of third-floor classrooms brightly lit.
Evening self-study for ninth-grade students...
Hao Ren infused a bit of spirit energy into his eyes to carefully observe what was happening in those rooms.
Zhao Yanzi’s Class 2, Grade 3 had its lights on. She sat near the window and could be seen clearly by Hao Ren.
Her head lowered as she scribbled away, who knew what for.
The homeroom teacher Luo Ying walked around the classroom, maintaining order; occasionally, she would approach Zhao Yanzi to have a look at her writing.
Xiao Ling sat behind Zhao Yanzi and used an opportunity when Luo Ying turned away to tap Zhao Yanzi with her pen and whisper a few words.
This vivid scene reminded Hao Ren of his own experiences in self-study sessions back then.
"What are you doing" Hao Ren took out his phone and sent a text message over.
Back in the classroom, Zhao Yanzi swiftly pulled out her phone from her desk drawer to reply. This series of actions was clearly visible to Hao Ren.
"It's all your fault! Write an apology!"
Zhao Yanzi’s text message arrived within seconds.
Hao Ren couldn’t help but smile when he saw her answer, thinking that she had already done this so many times before that she was practically a pro.
Hao Ren was about to reply with another text when he noticed Luo Ying, in the distance from a classroom, walk up to Zhao Yanzi and extend his palm.
Zhao Yanzi could only obediently place her black phone into Luo Ying's hand while grinding her teeth out of anger.
Luo Ying put away the mobile phone but remained standing before Zhao Yanzi as if reprimanding her.
Zhao Yanzi turned her face towards the window, clearly not convinced. Yet, this allowed Hao Ren to see the puffed-up look on her face more clearly.
"What's wrong Do you think I'm mistaken" In the classroom, Luo Ying picked up Zhao Yanzi's self-criticism letter and scanned it, "It's not at all profound!"
"Alright! I'll rewrite it!" Zhao Yanzi was now furious.
Yu Qing from Class 6 had provoked her first, so why did she also have to write a self-criticism letter!
"Rewriting isn't necessary. You'd better read your books properly instead! Don't think that good final exam results mean you can get conceited. Your foundation is weak; put more effort into studying!"
Luo Ying, with a stern face, took Zhao Yanzi's self-criticism letter back and patted the table.
Zhao Yanzi breathed heavily as her chest heaved up and down—What was this about It was clearly targeting her!
Luo Ying harrumphed before turning around to walk towards the podium, sitting down to grade assignments. Zhao Yanzi's parents didn't discipline her much, talking about fiancé and fiancée instead, but as a homeroom teacher, she still needed to rein in Zhao Yanzi.
The first day of school after moving to the new campus kicked off with a fight at the school gate, and this incident was initiated by students from her class. This was already quite face-losing for Luo Ying.
Zhao Yanzi had always been a problem student in her eyes. Although her grades had improved recently, her naughty personality hadn't changed. Luo Ying admitted that Zhao Yanzi was very smart, but the smarter a student was, the more likely they were to cause trouble if they didn't study well.
Homeroom teachers of other classes let their class presidents maintain order during evening self-study sessions, but she supervised them personally. This was for responsibility towards these children.
The students from other classes came from wealthy and influential families with a bright future ahead, but the "commoner" students in her Class 2 would be in trouble if they messed up their middle school exams. Life's detours afterward would become too long. Society was like that—One wrong step made everything hard.
Luo Ying believed that these children were cursing her behind her back, calling her an old witch, but she knew they'd understand in the future. Just like how Zhao Yanzi might want to overturn the desk and fight with the teacher now, but it was better than suffering later on.
While wearing her reading glasses and grading assignments, she sighed inwardly.
In this moment, Xiao Ling by the window saw their homeroom teacher Luo Ying engrossed in grading homework. She lightly patted Zhao Yanzi's back again.
"Ah Zi, don't be angry with Old Witch. She just acts tough and won't dare do anything too serious. By the way, have you finished your sixth math question" Xiao Ling asked softly.
"The sixth one How hard can it be I've already done ten questions!" Zhao Yanzi turned around to place her math homework at the back.
"Wow! You're amazing! Finished all of them" Xiao Ling's eyes widened in surprise.
Her grades were only average in Class 2, but they used to be much better than Zhao Yanzǐ, who was always at the bottom of the class. However, recently, Zhao Yanzǐ's academic performance had improved drastically, which surprised her.
"These are all things we learned in Grade 8; how hard can it be" Zhao Yanzǐ said proudly, tilting her head slightly.
It was just the start of Grade 9, and not much new material had been taught yet. Therefore, evening self-study mainly focused on revising what they had learned in Grade 8. These questions were ones that Hao Ren had previously explained to her, so she finished them quickly.
"Hey, hey!" Xiaoling moved closer, leaning against the wall. "Liu Yuntao wanted to kiss me today."
“Ah, and what happened then” Zhao Yanzǐ immediately became interested and leaned in.
“I don’t know how to do it and was afraid he would laugh at me.” Xiaoling shrugged her shoulders softly. Then she opened her eyes wide again. “I read that kissing involves sticking out your tongue, but I’m a bit scared about that too.”
"Oh, well…" Zhao Yanzǐ was rather vague.
“Afzi, you must know how to kiss, right” Xiaoling asked anxiously.
They were best friends and shared everything with each other. Therefore, she had no choice but to ask Zhao Yanzǐ about this problem.
However, Zhao Yanzǐ didn’t really know either. Although she was technically engaged to Hao Ren, they hadn't kissed very often.
But since Xiaoling asked her, Zhao Yanzǐ felt it would be too embarrassing to admit that she didn’t know and so cleared her throat softly. “Me Of course I do!”
"Then how should I go about doing it In two months, can we start kissing That’s not too soon, right" Xiaoling asked hesitantly.
Xiaoling had never dated before, but as she approached Grade 9 and her feelings for Liu Yuntao stirred, he had captured her heart. However, this Liu Yuntao was someone that Zhao Yanzǐ had vetted for Xiaoling; she thought highly of him indeed.
"Two months That’s completely normal! You should start kissing after one month!" Zhao Yanzǐ said confidently.
She and Hao Ren had known each other for several months, but they hadn’t progressed beyond that stage. They hadn’t even shared a formal kiss. Although this was partly due to her resistance towards Hao Ren in the past, compared to Xiaoling, Zhao Yanzǐ felt quite embarrassed.
"Really" Xiaoling, who lacked experience, believed Zhao Yanzǐ more readily because she was often pursued by boys.
“Of course it’s true!” Zhao Yanzǐ pursed her lips. "Kissing means closing your eyes and letting him hug you. Then wait for him to kiss you gradually and slowly stick out your tongue…"
Zhao Yanzǐ made up these instructions on the spot. In fact, half of what she said was based on her imagination and half from magazines; there was no actual experience behind it.
Just as Zhao Yanzǐ spoke, her face turned slightly red, seemingly imagining Hao Ren kissing her.
Xiaoling lowered her voice and looked around cautiously before asking a more sensitive question: "Do you often kiss your uncle"
Zhao Yanzǐ’s eyes widened. She bit down on her lip. “Me and him…”
I didn't know how to respond all of a sudden.
"Actually, thinking about it, Uncle is quite handsome. He doesn’t seem like a college student at all; he looks more like a high school student," Little Ling said.
Little Ling's feeling was also Zhao Yanzi's feeling. However, this was what people meant by 'beauty in the eyes of lovers.' In Xie Yujia’s eyes, Hao Ren was simply a very kind and cheerful college student.
"Does Uncle kiss you often" Seeing that Zhao Yanzi didn't respond, Little Ling followed up with another question.
This topic was something she really wanted to know about, and it was quite intimate between friends.
"Do you think Uncle is good" Zhao Yanzi countered her.
"He’s very good indeed. I didn’t feel that way before, but now when I look at him, he seems quite handsome, and he's also very thoughtful in his actions. Yanyan and QiQi both say he's a great guy," Little Ling answered.
Hearing what Little Ling said, Zhao Yanzi felt relieved and outright lied, "I kiss him every day! He likes me so much that he always wants to hug me."
"Ha ha! You two are really sweet!" Little Ling gazed at her with envy. Previously, she thought Hao Ren was a few years older than them; it seemed strange for him to pursue Zhao Yanzi, but now she felt they were indeed well-suited.
"Of course we are!" Zhao Yanzi's sense of fulfillment soared.
"Since you two are so good together, have you…" Little Ling winked and asked, "done that"
"Hey hey hey! What are you talking about!" Zhao Yanzi picked up the notebook in her hand and tapped Little Ling's head.
Thud thud!
Luo Ying used his palm to tap on the lectern, pointing at Zhao Yanzi and Little Ling by the window. "It’s study time; what are you two making a fuss about"
Zhao Yanzi and Little Ling quickly lowered their heads as Zhao Yanzi hurriedly turned around to go back. They had been too excited earlier and made quite a commotion.
But the question that Little Ling asked caused her heart to race uncontrollably.
Ring ring!
The bell rang, signaling the end of the evening self-study period for the third year junior high students. Luo Ying picked up the homework he was grading halfway through and left the classroom.
Students from Class 2 followed after Luo Ying, making a loud commotion as they exited.
Little Ling ran over to Class 3 next door to find Liu Yuntao; both of them were in a sweet phase and liked to stick together when they had the chance.
Zhao Yanzi pouted her lips, feeling somewhat forlorn.ck, he took Xie Yujia and the others back to Donghai University.Zhao Yanzi happily received a dagger artifact which she hadn't fully refined yet but had managed to erase Duan Yao’s divine sense from i...
