Pata!
The bag full of snacks dropped onto the ground.
“What’s her name?” Hao Ren asked again.
“Xie Yujia. She is the only daughter of your Uncle Xie, and he hopes that once you have contacted her, you guys can take care of each other at the university. Alright, alright. I still have some things to work on; you can figure out a way to get in touch with her since it won’t be hard now as you know her name.”
When he finished, Hao Zhonghua hung up the phone.
Hao Ren was still standing in the same spot, holding his phone, absent-minded.
“Are you playing jokes on me, God? The Class President is my childhood sweetheart?”
At the moment, Hao Ren felt like he was thrown into the water and pulled out again and again.
Thus, Hao Ren had stood still and let the cold wind blow on him for a few minutes. Then, he suddenly called Vice-Principal Lu Qing’s number.
“Oh, it is you, Gongzi Hao. What are you calling me for?” Lu Qing’s voice came through the phone.
“Principal Lu, you probably have the files of all the students at the university. Can you please help me to look up how many girls at the university are named Xie Yujia?” Hao Ren asked on the phone.
He thought for a while then added, “Please also look for names with the same sound but different characters.” His voice started trembling.
“Are you in a rush? I’m not at the university yet,” Lu Qing asked.
“No rush, but please let me know once you have the results, thank you so much.”
“Fine, I’ll look it up for you as soon as I get to school. Other than that, I heard that Gongzi Hao has successfully advanced to the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll?” Lu Qing asked.
“Yes, it was a few days ago. Please help me out with the name search.” Hao Ren hung up the phone.
He was so absent-minded that he hung up the phone as soon as he finished his request; he didn’t even notice that Lu Qing was still trying to talk to him on the phone. Hanging up on the Vice-Principal; Hao Ren really had the guts.
After picking up the snacks from the ground, Hao Ren walked into the dorm building and started climbing. Soon, he went to room 302 dazedly,
Zhao Jiayi had already left the dorm to practice basketball. Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua were still sleeping, but they woke up instantly and started to take Hao Ren’s snacks as soon as they noticed that he was back.
“Ren, why do you look so dull? What happened? Going through a breakup?” Seeing Hao Ren sitting on the chair and staring outside blankly, Zhou Liren asked after taking a few bags of chips.
“Nothing.” Hao Ren waved his hand blankly.
“Ok, I’m going to brush my teeth now. Later, we’ll go to class together.” Zhou Liren took a look at Hao Ren with concern before picking up his toothbrush and washbasin.
Half an hour later, Hao Ren went to the cafeteria for breakfast with Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua. Then, they went to class together.
At this time, almost half of the students were already waiting for the class to start and chatting with each other. Hao Ren noticed that Xie Yujia was in the classroom as well, sitting in the second row and talking to the girls around her.
Xie Yujia avoided eye contact with Hao Ren when she saw him come in; she probably felt awkward because of the conversation they had on Friday as it exposed her secret, or maybe she was trying to keep some distance from Hao Ren because they have been too close to each other recently and she didn’t want other students to gossip about them.
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment when he saw Xie Yujia. Then, he found a seat at the back and sat down.
Afterward, Zhao Jiayi came into the classroom sweating all over. He noticed Hao Ren’s blank expression and felt something was wrong. “Ren, did you suffer a breakup?” He took a look at Xie Yujia, who was sitting in the front, purposely as he said this.
“Did Hao Ren finally have the encourage to express his admiration towards Xie Yujia but got rejected?” he thought.
“Zzt, zzz, zzt,” Hao Ren’s phone started to vibrate.
He grabbed his phone instantly and saw Lu Qing’s number, so he hurriedly picked it up.
“I just came to the university and looked it up; among all the students at the university. No matter if it is the same pronunciation and characters or the same pronunciation but different characters, there is only one student named Xie Yujia, which is your Class President. However, there was a Xie Yujia who graduated three years ago, but only the pronunciation is the same,” Lu Qing said through the phone.
“Ok, thanks a lot,” Hao Ren said; he had nothing else to say other than that.
“There is another thing I want to mention, which is,”
Lu Qing was about to continue over the phone, but Hao Ren had already put down the phone blankly and hung it up at convenience. He was the first person in history to hang up the Vice-Principal’s call twice in a day.
Xie Yujia was Little Carrot……
“Is she the Little Carrot in my hazy memory who pulled on the corner of my clothes, had snot hanging from her nose, and followed me around in her bare feet?! The little girl who used to be hard to get rid of has now turned into a beautiful girl!?”
A dozen years seemed to have slipped by too fast!
Hao Ren felt like the call of ‘Little Older Brother’ was still ringing in his ears.
Looking at Xie Yujia, who had perfectly smooth skin and was sitting in the front rows carefully listening while taking notes, Hao Ren felt like it was impossible to match her with the little girl in his hazy memory!
Cao Ronghua lifted his right hand and waved it in front of Hao Ren’s eyes when he saw Hao Ren was so out of it.
Not until then did Hao Ren come back to his senses and uttered a sigh of relief.
“Did you become dumb?” Cao Ronghua asked him.
“Em, nothing,” although Hao Ren said that, he couldn’t calm himself down.
He had a good impression of Xie Yujia since he started university. He had looked at her secretly many times during class, but he never thought that they were old friends from over ten years ago!
“Should I tell her about it?” The thought rose in Hao Ren’s mind.
After thinking about it over and over, Hao Ren held back the thought.
“Xie Yujia already has someone she likes and is waiting for him. Also, that person is probably one of the top students from her middle school or high school,” he thought, “What would be the point of telling her about it if there is no meaning behind it?”
Hao Ren found that the Mount Tai Bracelets on his wrists were getting heavier as he was thinking about this. Therefore, he just laid his head on the desk and tried to calm himself down as he started to practice the Spirit Concentration Scroll.
The Nature Essence was cleansing Hao Ren’s body while it circulated, and this helped purify his body and emotions further. The warm amber on his necklace had also enhanced the communication Hao Ren had with the heaven and the earth, so the Spirit Concentration Scroll had been running in a smoother manner.
With the recovery of his mood, the Mount Tai Bracelets were gradually getting lighter, and Hao Ren could feel that the space around him had got closer to him.
“The amber Zi gave to me really helped to quicken my cultivation,” Hao Ren paused his Spirit Concentration Scroll and wondered.
He took a look at Zhao Jiayi and the others beside him; they were all laying their heads on the desk and drooling.
He took another look at Xie Yujia; she was still carefully listening and taking notes.
“Ay, the so-called childhood sweetheart isn’t a big deal; advancing to Kan-level is what matters the most at the moment,” Hao Ren looked back at his hands, feeling like his skin indeed got smoother. However, the Mount Tai Bracelets were still heavily hanging on his wrists, reminding him that he was still Su Han’s ‘captive’.
“These two Mount Tai Bracelets force me to keep running the Spirit Concentration Scroll so I can resist their weight. They somehow also quicken my cultivation process.”
As soon as he used more Nature Essence, the two Mount Tai Bracelets immediately sensed it and started to increase their weight instantly.
“They are real Dharma treasures.” Hao Ren mocked himself secretly.
“Ting, ting, ting.” The bell rang, indicating the end of the class. Zhao Jiayi and the other two guys shook their bodies and woke up abruptly.
“Let’s go! Let’s go!” They walked out of the classroom with Hao Ren while pushing each other.
Xie Yujia packed her stuff and walked behind Hao Ren.
As Hao Ren walked out of the door while being pushed by Zhao Jiayi, he suddenly saw two beautiful girls, who were wearing ancient Chinese dresses, standing respectfully by the door as if they just came out of a painting.
“Savior!” they shouted in unison.
