“Open the door, Zhao Jiayi! It’s me, Yu Rong!” Yu Rong, from room 303 across the hall, banged on the door and yelled at the same time, “We’re brothers! Don’t close the door! Let me in to know the truth!”

“We’re not opening the door!” Zhao Jiayi yelled from the other side of the door, “We’re not opening the door for anyone today. If you want to know, ask tomorrow!”

Zhao Jiayi continued to yell when he heard them continue banging the door, “Okay! Okay! Go back! Eight o’clock tomorrow morning, room 302 will have a press conference! We’ll explain everything clearly then!”

There were still a lot of noises outside when they heard Zhao Jiayi’s words. However, all the guys outside actually dispersed after hearing an answer.

The hallways of the dorm were still filled with the discussions of the incident, but the overall situation started to die down. The female dorm manager was finally relieved because she was about to call security to control the situation.

“We’re all in the same dorm room, Ren. Tell us the truth, what’s the relationship between Su Han and you?” Zhao Jiayi faced Hao Ren and asked as the noises stopped outside.

Cao Ronghua and Zhou Liren also dragged two chairs and sat across from Hao Ren. Two of them and Zhao Jiayi surrounded Hao Ren and were about to start the interrogation.

“Su Han is a distant cousin of mine,” Hao Ren said helplessly.

“How come you never mentioned this to us before?” Zhao Jiayi immediately detected the flaw and asked.

Hao Ren thought for a bit and said, “I just found out recently as well. A relative came from overseas and treated me to a meal…”

Zhao Jiayi raised his arm and said, “Okay, okay! This reason is outdated! How do you have so many relatives? Is the principal your relative too?”

Hao Ren couldn’t answer but smiled bitterly. “The vice-principal is somehow related to me, and you got half of that right…” he thought.

Certainly, Zhao Jiayi and the other two knew Hao Ren for two years and definitely wouldn’t think that Hao Ren came from a wealthy family with a significant background. Zhao Jiayi thought for a while and said, “Anyhow, it is a fact that many people saw Su Han putting a necklace on for you. Even if she is your cousin, people won’t buy it. It is better for you to say quiet and accept the rumors and dubious claims, or you’ll create even more misunderstandings.”

He continued to analyze, “The situation as of now is that unless Su Han explains everything herself, they wouldn’t believe anything you say…”

“Yup, yup, yup!” Cao Ronghua and Zhou Liren stood beside Zhao Jiayi and agreed with what he had said.

“It’s impossible that Su Han will clarify this type of mess for me. I doubt that she would give a damn even if the fire was burning her house as long as it doesn’t affect her cultivation,” Hao Ren thought to himself.

“So, let’s announce this tomorrow: you and Su Han are on good terms, but it’s not exactly what they think it is. The crucial part of this statement is to piss off Huang Xujie. Afterward, when you have a chance to treat Su Han to dinner, we’ll also tag along and get to know her…,” Zhao Jiayi followed up with the suggestion slowly.

“What the hell! That is what you guys are aiming for!” Hao Ren understood what was going on as he listened to the very end.

“Fine, we’ll talk about treating her to dinner later,” Zhao Jiayi didn’t want to startle Hao Ren and quickly added.

Hao Ren looked at them and knew that these three guys were up to no good. After all, they wanted to utilize his connection to approach Su Han.

However, Hao Ren would like to see Huang Xujie in frustration. He also understood why Huang Xujie provoked him before the Athletic Games. The fact that Su Han called Hao Ren to her office caused Huang Xujie’s extreme resentment.

“Humph, you think you can pursue Su Han as the son of the Deputy Mayor? You think Su Han is only an ordinary lecturer?” Hao Ren thought.

He knew that many third and fourth-year students had pursued Su Han publicly or privately. He also knew that some first and second-year students who were self-obsessed and had a wealthy family background wanted to go after Su Han as well.

After all, Su Han was beautiful and otherworldly. Also, she was only two to three years older than them, and she actually looked much more youthful than those third and fourth-year female students.

However, he didn’t know that Huang Xujie had pursued unapproachable Su Han when she hadn’t graduated and was the most popular girl at East Ocean University.

Despite Huang Xujie’s effort, Su Han ignored him. Additionally, because she didn’t live in the dorms and was hard to find, this made Huang Xujie’s pursuit end without a result.

He initially thought that he wouldn’t be able to see this beauty again after Su Han graduated. Unexpectedly, Su Han chose to stay at East Ocean University as an ordinary lecturer, and this allowed Huang Xujie to see hope again.

Huang Xujie’s pursuit of Su Han happened before Hao Ren’s enrollment, and he hid this failure of his very well. Therefore, Zhao Jiayi and the junior students were very surprised when they found out that Huang Xujie liked Su Han.

Huang Xujie went after Su Han for many years and didn’t even receive a response, but Hao Ren, a new student, obtained Su Han’s attention. How could Huang Xujie not be pissed off?

The current most popular girl in the school, Lin Li, who got her title from the hypes and headlines, was much worse than Su Han.

“Also, uh…,” Zhou Liren asked, “Who’s the woman who drove a Ferrari to pick you up today? She’s so pretty… She also seemed prettier and more mature than Su Han… Ren, tell us, do you have a sugar mommy? You didn’t even return to the dorm a few days ago…”

As he kept talking, his expression became nastier. Hao Ren quickly blocked his mouth with one hand as the other hand formed a fist and hit him on the head. “She’s the mother of my student. Quit your dirty thoughts!” he scolded.

Zhou Liren got hit, but he didn’t back off. Instead, he got closer to Hao Ren, rubbed his hands together, said in an obscene tone, “Brother Ren! Brother Ren! I didn’t know you are so good at getting girls. Teach me a few tricks!”

“Get lost!” Hao Ren kicked him away.

The next day morning, room 302 hosted a “press conference” as promised. As the “official spokesman”, Zhao Jiayi raised both of his hands and stood at the highest point in the room– the upper berth close to the balcony.

Hao Ren crossed his legs and sat on the upper berth, and Cao Ronghua and Zhou Liren tried to maintain order down below. Other curious guys stood in the narrow room, looked up at Zhao Jiayi and Hao Ren in their slippers.

What press conference is this? No matter how one looked at it, the scene resembled that of migrant workers gathering to ask for their salaries.

Zhao Jiayi utilized the art of language well and indicated that Hao Ren and Su Han’s relationship was developing in a “good direction”. He also tugged on the emotions of the guys and said that if Hao Ren and Su Han were on good terms, Su Han would come to the dorm often, especially the third floor. This turned the mood of the guys from jealousy to expectancy.

Hence, the press conference had a perfect ending, and No.7 dorm’s atmosphere was in great harmony. As a result, the guys were either washing their faces, brushing their teeth, or returning to their rooms for more sleep.

The four people in Hao Ren’s dorm room went to class together because today was Thursday. After Advanced Mathematics, it was Su Han’s lecture on Weak Optical Signal Processing.

Compared to before, the guys were more excited today because they wanted to see how Su Han would treat Hao Ren.

However, to their disappointment, Su Han was as cold as before in the two-hour lecture and didn’t make any eye contact with Hao Ren.

After the lecture, Su Han packed up her notes and left as usual.

“The Iceberg Beauty is still cold after all. You are too amazing to have the ability to approach someone like her!” Zhou Liren gave Hao Ren a thumb up, and Zhao Jiayi and Cao Ronghua also admired him.

As they packed up their textbooks, Class President Xie Yujia walked towards them and put something down on Hao Ren’s desk.

Hao Ren picked it up and looked at it. It was an envelope.

Zhou Liren’s heart was pounding crazily as he stood beside Hao Ren. “Oh my god! No way! Hao Ren’s peach blossom fortune is blooming! The Class President also gave Hao Ren a love letter?! What kind of world am I living in?” he thought.

Hao Ren didn’t even think of it in that direction. While confused, Hao Ren opened up the envelope in front of Xie Yujia and drew out a piece of paper.

There were only a few words on it.

“See you on the field at 8 PM. – Huang Xujie.”

* Height Couldn’t Endure the Coldness is a Chinese idiom that means as the higher status the person becomes, the true friend that he/she has will decrease.
