Chapter 74: Assistance from Outside?
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Hao Ren rode the bicycle and returned to the southern dorm. He dropped off Xie Yujia at the female Dorm Building No.3 and then walked back to male Dorm Building No.7.
The dorm gate had just opened at this time, and Hao Ren sneaked into the dorm when the manager wasn’t paying attention.
He went up to the third floor, entered the dorm room, and saw Zhao Jiayi and the two other guys still sleeping. There were a bunch of tiny wooden sticks from the meat skewers and a few empty beer bottles on the floor.
“These guys…” Hao Ren walked in quietly, grabbed his towel and toothbrush, and was about to wash up.
However, his arm bumped into a cup and made some noises which woke up Zhao Jiayi, who was asleep in one of the lower berths.
“You’re back, Ren?” Zhao Jiayi yelled.
“Uh, yeah,” Hao Ren could only admit.
Hearing their conversation, Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua woke up as well. They looked at Hao Ren, who was holding the towel and toothbrush sneakily, and asked immediately, “What did you do last night?”
“I…uh…,” Hao Ren held his toothbrush and gestured as he stuttered; he couldn’t say anything.
Zhou Liren, who was initially sleepy, suddenly got energetic. “Don’t tell me you and the Class President… progressed so fast?” he asked.
“Cut the cr*p! The dorm gate was already locked when I came back yesterday, so I went to the Internet Cafe for the whole night,” Hao Ren thought about it and said.
“Xie Yujia went as well?” Cao Ronghua asked.
“She… I don’t know. After we ate yesterday, she went back herself. I strolled around for a bit, and it was already too late to come back.”
“Hehe. don’t hide it if there’s progress…,” Zhou Liren sat up in the upper berth and made a funny face at Hao Ren.
“Get lost!” Hao Ren waved at him and took his toiletries with him as he walked out of the bedroom.
Cao Ronghua, who slept on the lower berth under Zhou Liren didn’t believe Zhou Liren’s speculations. “The great beauty, the Class President, hooked up with Hao Ren this fast?” he thought.
However, many things that happened recently made him believe that Hao Ren had many miraculous characteristics.
“Hao Ren’s peach blossom fortune is too good!” Zhao Jiayi sighed and said emotionally as he saw Hao Ren rushing out.
The three of them also got up, got prepared, and went to class with Hao Ren.
When they walked by the cafeteria, they bumped into Xie Yujia, who rode past them on her bicycle.
Xie Yujia would normally greet her classmates, but she rode her bicycle and passed them in a hurry.
Zhou Liren hit Hao Ren deliberately as he looked at Xie Yujia’s thin yet hourglass figure.
“Don’t talk nonsense when we get to class,” Hao Ren warned him.
“I know…” Zhou Liren smiled even more nastily.
The four of them stepped into the classroom and found that many people were discussing the scientific lectures that took place yesterday. Hao Ren looked at Xie Yujia’s direction and saw that she was talking to the girls in the class as if nothing had changed.
“Why didn’t you come back yesterday, Ren? I wanted to play cards with your dorm!” Huang Jianfeng saw Hao Ren walking in and yelled loudly.
Hearing the shouting, the girls sitting in the front turned their heads.
“He went to listen to the lecture with the Class President yesterday. Why could he come back and play cards with you?” a few guys who knew what had happened said.
“Stop talking, stop talking…,” Hao Ren who was sitting in the back row tried to quiet them down.
The class soon began. Hao Ren, who thought everything would be over by now, discovered that the whispers started to spread around the classroom.
In a moment, Zhou Liren received a message, turned around to bump Hao Ren’s arm, and asked in surprise, “Hey! You actually spent the night with the Class President? I was only joking with you!”
“Where did this information come from?” Hao Ren asked him.
“The girls in the front row. They said that Xie Yujia didn’t return to the dorm last night. Besides, she wasn’t there when the dorm manager came for room inspection, and her name is now written on the non-returned list on the small chalkboard outside Dorm Building No.3!”
Then, he stared at Hao Ren in shock and asked, “Did you actually… do that with her last night?”
“No way!” Hao Ren knocked Zhou Liren’s forehead.
He looked at Xie Yujia, who was sitting in the front row organizing her notes; it seemed like she wasn’t bothered by the surrounding discussions. Suddenly, he felt that he should have dealt with last night’s situation in a better way.
Girls saw reputation as a significant matter, especially girls like Xie Yujia…
“Go listen to the scientific lectures together, go eat together, and don’t return together… anyone would misunderstand…….” he thought.
Yu Rong was still discussing this matter, and Hao Ren suddenly turned his head and said, “Stop! If anyone still talks about this, I won’t be friends with him anymore!”
Seeing the good-tempered Hao Ren suddenly getting mad, Yu Rong and others stopped talking right away and looked at him in confusion.
Ever since the incident of Hao Ren beating up half of the basketball team, the guys from his class and in Dorm Building No.7 had more respect for him.
Even though some of the guys in the class liked Xie Yujia and were jealous of Hao Ren, who dared to gossip under the powerful force of Hao Ren?
Besides, Hao Ren’s buddy Zhao Jiayi wasn’t an easy guy to deal with either. Not only did he have many friends at the school, but he also got the members of the basketball team to pay for his medical expenses after the injuries; that made the other students think that he had a powerful background.
Hao Ren heard that all the conversations stopped, and he readjusted his focus and looked at Xie Yujia in the front row. He noticed that her ears were red, and it seemed like she was affected by the conversations around her after all.
“It’s better if I keep some distance from her for a period of time…” Hao Ren thought.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Hao Ren’s cell phone on the desk vibrated a little.
He picked up his cell phone and saw a text message from an unknown number.
He opened up the message and saw a few words, “What is China’s Capital for coal production?”
“Who is this?” Hao Ren didn’t react well since he was in a bad mood. Normally, he would delete this type of boring text messages right away, but he replied on purpose this time, “China’s coals are black!”
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A few seconds, he received another text message.
“I’ll choke you to death! Tell me now what are the coals?”
Sensing the tone of the message, Hao Ren instantly knew who sent it.
“The kids now days are so high-tech. Zhao Yanzi is already cheating using text messages?” he thought.
Hao Ren replied, “Fushun. Do the rest yourself. I won’t answer you anymore.”
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In a short time, he received another message, “How many basins are there in Xinjiang?”
“This little brat…” Hao Ren didn’t want to reply, but he thought of the anger he would have to endure later and gave in. He sent a message back, “Tarim Basin and Dzungarian Basin. I am not answering anymore!”
“There should be another one!” another text message was sent back.
Hao Ren thought for a few seconds and replied, “Qaidam Basin! I’m not replying to your texts!”
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A few minutes later, his cell phone vibrated again.
“Is there an end to this…” Hao Ren took out his cell phone, and it was Zhao Yanzi’s message again, “So stupid! Qaidam Basin is from Qinghai! I almost did it wrong!”
“You blame me for a question you couldn’t do? You deserve to do it wrong! Go take your exam!” Hao Ren replied.
“What exam?! I just finished! I’m eating lunch now!” Zhao Yanzi replied again immediately.
It’s the first time Hao Ren texted Zhao Yanzi in class. He suddenly felt like she was kind of cute despite her rudeness.
“How many more exams do you have?” Hao Ren thought about it and sent a text message to express his concern.
Well, this little girl was his “fiancée” after all. On top of that, Zhao Yanzi’s parents had helped Hao Ren so many times before. He couldn’t really ignore her.
“There are two more exams in the afternoon. Physics and Chemistry. I’ll be relying on you!” a happy message was sent to his cell phone.
“I was wondering why she was suddenly so nice to me. It turns out that she wants me to help her cheat…” Hao Ren finally realized the reason and replied, “Help yourself, and you’ll be well-fed and well-clothed!”
Zhao Yanzi didn’t reply to this message; she was probably mad.
Hao Ren didn’t want to argue with her, so he put down his cell phone and looked out the window; it was raining outside.
“Two exams mean that she’ll finish school around two o’clock. I don’t have class at that time, so I guess I’ll pick her up from school…”
