“Um…” Hao Ren was a bit shocked, and he pointed to the furthest no.17 building. “There!”
“Oh, what’s your room number?” Zhao Yanzi continued to ask.
“Room 302!” Hao Ren did not lie about that.
Zhao Yanzi squinted and tried looking over very hard. Finally, she shook her head and gave up. “Too far, can’t see.”
Hao Ren was relieved because being spied upon by her every day was no joke. He would not be able to go through his daily life in peace if she was able to spy on him. He didn’t recall Zhao Yanzi visiting his dorm building before. Even if she did, she probably didn’t remember.
“I hope she never comes to my dorm,” Hao Ren secretly prayed.
“There are still a lot of things I don’t have. You have to go shopping with me!” Zhao Yanzi yelled as she dragged Hao Ren back into her dorm.
“OK, OK…” Hao Ren could only go with her because she was pulling hard.
Ling’s mom was in the dorm. When she saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi running out, she asked Ling, “Zhao Yanzi actually has a big brother?”
“I guess so…” Ling nodded and tried not to give her a precise answer. She couldn’t tell her mom that Zhao Yanzi already had a fiancé!
She had a feeling that this ‘uncle’ would have a hard time in the future dealing with Zhao Yanzi. Zhao Yanzi didn’t like dating, but she would never let someone, who she loved, go from her.
The environment of this newly-built LingZhao Middle School was very good. Hao Ren had deliberately searched for the location of LingZhao Elementary School and found that it was purposely built next to the middle school, and the schools could see each other’s sports field.
If the elementary and middle school did their morning exercises at the same time, Zhen Congming and Zhao Yanzi would be able to see each other…
Also, if Hao Ren stood on the balcony of room 302, he would be able to watch Zhao Yanzi … He thought about it and suddenly felt like it would be interesting to watch!
If her classroom were in the right position, he would even be able to watch her in class from his balcony!
Suddenly, Hao Ren looked forward to starting school. Maybe someday when Zhao Yanzi was reading a horoscope magazine below her desk in class, he would be able to spot it immediately and send a text to warn her not to read random things in class!
“Hahahaha…” Hao Ren laughed evilly in secret.
“Hey! Why are you smiling!” Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes at Hao Ren and nudged him with her elbow.
“Nothing, nothing…” Hao Ren tried to pretend that nothing was going on.
Zhao Hongyu had asked him to supervise Zhao Yanzi’s studies. This was his ultimate weapon against her.
Not everyone could get into LingZhao Middle School’s campus. Because Zhao Yanzi took a walk on campus to get a sense of the school, Hao Ren was able to see the layout of the school with her.
However, anyone could go to the university campus freely. It meant that Zhao Yanzi could go to Hao Ren’s school anytime she wanted.
She only needed to walk across the road from LingZhao Middle School to get to the main gate of East Ocean University. Zhao Yanzi had been to East Ocean University but hadn’t walked around the campus thoroughly. Therefore, she decided that she needed to get to know the place better this time.
“Our campus is pretty big, and it would be hard to go around the whole place without a bike,” Hao Ren said.
He hinted and tried to tell her that she shouldn’t go running around in East Ocean University on her own. He did not want Zhao Yanzi to be too familiar with his school because that would not do him any good.
“I could just buy a bicycle,” Zhao Yanzi said without thinking too much.
This was when a lot of first-year university students were coming to school, so there were rows of new bicycles in the basketball court nearby for sale.
Hao Ren knew that these bicycles were almost scams; they wouldn’t even last one year.
However, Zhao Yanzi had already run over.
“How much?” Zhao Yanzi asked the bicycle salesperson.
“200 yuan!” he answered.
“Deal!” Zhao Yanzi said without hesitation.
Hao Ren was running over, but it was too late as Zhao Yanzi had already paid.
These bicycles were from random brands. The stores around the school temporary rented a place at school to sell their bikes, and their quality was poor.
“OK. I have a bike now. Now show me around!” Zhao Yanzi pushed the new bike over to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren stared at her helplessly as he knew that he could not get a refund. He could only ride the bike now.
Zhao Yanzi wasn’t modest at all. She grabbed onto Hao Ren’s waist and sat on the back seat of the bike.
Although the bicycle was of poor quality, there was still something good about it. It was light, and Hao Ren was able to ride the bike with Zhao Yanzi on it quickly.
“Haha, faster! Faster!” Zhao Yanzi was in a good mood. She patted Hao Ren’s hip and rushed him. She was treating Hao Ren like a horse.
Hao Ren was feeling helpless. He didn’t know how long this kind of torture would last, and he couldn’t wait for the return of her class advisor, Luo Ying.
Luo Ying would be able to keep Zhao Yanzi under control so that she couldn’t come over to the university to bully him that often.
Zhao Yanzi’s liveliness attracted many people’s attention on the university campus.
“She is probably his little sister…” People around them thought.
Zhao Yanzi wasn’t wearing her school uniform, and she for sure did not look like a university student. She sat on the back seat of Hao Ren’s bicycle and swayed her legs, appearing to be a cute and lively little sister.
Hao Ren pedaled hard and circled the library once. Then, he biked to the female dorms once and went around the basketball court. Lastly, he brought Zhao Yanzi to Hongji Square through the west gate.
Time flew, and it was already noon. Both Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were hungry.
Hongji Square was the most popular spot for food around East Ocean University, and Hao Ren remembered that he had brought Zhao Yanzi here before. He locked the bicycle before he took her around to find a restaurant for lunch.
Not only were there many restaurants at Hongji Square, but there was also a lot of stuff that girls liked. For example, there were cinemas, karaoke, and other stuff.
“There are a lot of things I need to buy. Do you have enough money?” Zhao Yanzi asked Hao Ren.
“Yes, I have enough…” Hao Ren said helplessly. “Who told you to buy the bike?” he thought.
“Pencil case, backpack, pens, a lamp, slippers, a small fan…” Zhao Yanzi started listing everything out loud.
“Robbery…” It was the word that popped up in Hao Ren’s mind. Even a full-time nanny wouldn’t have to do so much.
“Hey! Hao Ren!”
Zhao Jiayi’s loud voice sounded from the back.
Hao Ren turned over and saw his buddies wandering around Hongji Square.
“Haha, Ren’s little cousin. You’ve come again!” Zhou Liren said with a chuckle when he saw Zhao Yanzi.
“Fiancée! Fiancée!” Zhao Yanzi said and held Hao Ren’s hand as she looked up and stared at Zhou Liren.
“OK, OK. Fiancée, fiancée…” Zhou Liren raised both hands to signal his surrendered and could only change how he addressed her.
“Weren’t you guys playing cards. How come you’re out now?” Hao Ren asked.
“How do you know we were playing cards?” Gu Jiadong asked before saying, “We’re out for lunch. We’re still playing in the afternoon. Want to join us?”
“Play cards? Play what cards? Zhao Yanzi asked curiously.
“No! No!” Hao Ren immediately rejected these bad offers. The guys were half-naked and yelling in the dorm room. There was no way that Hao Ren would let Zhao Yanzi join them.
Moreover, he wasn’t good at cards, so he didn’t play with them often. He would rat
her play games at internet cafés.
“Little cousin, come visit our dorm if you want…”
Zhou Liren couldn’t finish his sentence because Hao Ren rushed to block his mouth.
After that, Hao Ren turned around and grabbed Zhao Yanzi’s hand before walking away quickly.
“Hey! Ren! Let’s have lunch together!” Zhao Jiayi shouted.
“No thank you. I’m having lunch with Zi!” Hao Ren turned his head around and yelled.
It was only fun for them if Zi went to the dorm. For Hao Ren, it was a nightmare. Zhao Yanzi studied at LingZhao Middle School, which was right next to the university.
If she became familiar with his friends, it would be disastrous for him…
There were dorm policies in place at East Ocean University: guys weren’t allowed in the female dorms, but girls could go to male dorms. Of course, the girls were still not allowed to stay overnight in the male dorms.
“Damn! He puts his cousin above us! Zhou Liren screamed.
Zhou Liren couldn’t help but cuss at Hao Ren hundreds of times; he was very envious of Hao Ren since there was such a pretty girl by his side…
Hao Ren held Zhao Yanzi’s hand and pulled her away, and they got away from Zhao Jiayi’s group.
Because they were good friends of Hao Ren, they were able to joke with him and wanted him to embarrass himself a little so that they could tease him.
“Let’s have pizza.” Hao Ren pulled Zhao Yanzi into a small pizza shop nearby.
The start of school was a busy season for the restaurants at Hongji Square because couples and students would all come here and get together.
This small pizza shop was elegantly decorated, and it was filled with mostly university couples. Coincidentally, there was a spot by the wall.
“This is Hao Ren…”
“His roommate, Zhao Jiayi, won the national basketball league championship this summer…”
Many students started talking about him when Hao Ren walked in.
Therefore, a lot of students were focusing on Zhao Yanzi as well since she was with him.
After the series of events, Hao Ren was now a famous person at East Ocean University. Not only did students in his year know of him, but even the seniors and first-year students also heard of him as well.
Hao Ren was feeling a bit awkward when he heard all the chatters. However, Zhao Yanzi was happy from all this. When Hao Ren was about to let go of her hand, she refused to let go and even held his hand tighter.
Her good friend, Ling, needed to keep her relationship low key, but Zhao Yanzi was different.
She wanted to let all the students of East Ocean University know that she was Hao Ren’s fiancée, and no one could take him away from her!
525 Fiancée, Fiancée!
“Who’s this little girl…”
“She doesn’t look like she’s in university. Is she in high school?”
“I’ve never seen her before. Is she a freshman?”
When they saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi entering the restaurant hand in hand, the students here started to discuss among themselves.
Hao Ren tried to use some force to free himself from Zhao Yanzi’s grip, but Zhao Yanzi held onto him tighter. She would not let go of him.
“Humph. Now you all know that I’m Hao Ren’s fiancée!” Zhao Yanzi thought to herself.
“I heard he’s close with Su Han… Isn’t his girlfriend Xie Yujia… I heard the twin sisters, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, also like him. They’ve been in this complicated relationship…”
“Approaching so many girls at the same time… He’s such a playboy…”
“He’s such a scum! I hate these types of guys…”
All sorts of negative comments that attacked Hao Ren slowly flooded the restaurant.
Zhao Yanzi was unmoved, and she pulled Hao Ren over to a seat.
The waiter brought them a menu. While he waited for Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi to order, he secretly peeked at Zhao Yanzi. Many of the waiters at the restaurants around the school were university students who were working part-time, so was this waiter. He took advantage of the opportunity to observe Hao Ren’s ‘new girlfriend’ when he gave them the menu.
“This, this, and this! Oh, add this too!” Zhao Yanzi ordered the expensive stuff because Hao Ren was paying.
Hao Ren sweated and thought that Zhao Yanzi had overestimated him. Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang wanted him to live a simple lifestyle, so they didn’t give him a lot of money each month. Most of his money was given to him by Grandma, but she was in Zhejiang now. Therefore, Hao Ren’s wallet wasn’t fat.
“OK. Please wait!” The waiter took the order and returned to the cashier. He started to chat with the other waiters enthusiastically, saying that Hao Ren’s ‘new girlfriend’ was a strong competition to Xie Yujia…
Ding! Ding! Ding! The glass door of the chop was pushed open once again.
Xie Yujia and Ma Lina who were both in miniskirts came in with smiles.
The students in the pizza shop, both the customers and waiters, all brightened up. They were anticipating a good show to the detriment of Hao Ren.
“Hey. Isn’t that Hao Ren?” Ma Lina immediately saw Hao Ren by the wall.
“The start of a good show…” Everyone focused their attention on Xie Yujia, who was still at the door, and Hao Ren, who was inside the store.
“Oh? Who’s the pretty little girl sitting with Hao Ren?” Ma Lina asked.
Hao Ren did not expect Xie Yujia to show up. But on the second thought, a lot of girls like this place, so it was normal for her to be here.
“Didn’t you say that he is busy and doesn’t have time to help you today? Why is he having lunch with another girl?” Ma Lina kept asking questions.
All the students in the restaurant put down their utensils and watched both sides with excitement.
“She either caught her boyfriend cheating, or she bumped into her ex-boyfriend…” they thought.
Xie Yujia was the sister of the previous captain of the basketball team, Xie Wanjun! And the current basketball team’s captain was Hao Ren’s roommate and Xie Yujia’s classmate, Zhao Jiayi!
“This is going to be good!” the people thought.
“Hao Ren, you’re also eating here?” Xie Yujia said in pleasant surprise.
“Huh…” Everyone was disappointed, and their spirits deflated like a broken balloon.
“Yeah, Yujia. Come sit over here!” Hao Ren waved.
“Let’s go over!” Xie Yujia looked at Ma Lina and walked over.
Zhao Yanzi showed a long face and was not willing to eat lunch with Xie Yujia. However, she didn’t scream; instead, she quickly switched spots and sat next to Hao Ren, afraid that Xie Yujia would take that spot.
“Hao Ren, is this your sister or cousin? She’s so cute!” Ma Lina said as she sat in front of Hao Ren and saw Zhao Yanzi’s face.
She had seen Zhao Yanzi before when Xie Yujia tutored Zhao Yanzi in their dorm room, and she even let Zhao Yanzi stay at their dorm for the night. Therefore, Ma Lina quickly recognized that this was Hao Ren’s ‘little cousin.’
“Fiancée! I’m his fiancée!” Zhao Yanzi quickly refuted.
“Hehehe, you’re still playing jokes on me!” Ma Lina laughed and didn’t believe her.
Zhao Yanzi was so mad that her face turned red. She wanted to prove her identity but didn’t want to make a scene.
“What did you order? We should add some more!” Ma Lina was straightforward, and she asked the waiter for a menu. She also wasn’t modest with Hao Ren and quickly chose a few more dishes.
Hao Ren was Xie Yujia’s boyfriend, and she was Xie Yujia’s best friend. It was normal for Hao Ren to treat her for lunch.
“How did the boarding procedures go?” Xie Yujia asked as Ma Lina placed a few more order.
“Everything’s done. I still have to go buy some stuff for Zi since she needs them,” Hao Ren answered.
“OK,” Xie Yujia nodded. “If there’s anything you need help with, feel fr
ee to ask me.”
She was gentle and generous, and Zhao Yanzi couldn’t say anything to her; it made Zhao Yanzi more hostile toward Xie Yujia.
Hao Ren liked how kind and gentle Xie Yujia was, but Zhao Yanzi could not behave that way. That was why she was so frustrated and jealous of Xie Yujia.
Ma Lina skipped back excitedly, and she started talking to Hao Ren about things that happened at school. Zhao Yanzi sat beside Hao Ren unhappily because she could not join the conversation when they were talking about university stuff.
“Hao Ren, did you know that the Vice Dean of the Arts Program, Qin Shaoyang, quit?” Ma Lina’s tone sounded very mysterious.
“Oh. I didn’t know that,” Hao Ren said.
“I heard he went abroad. Such a pity! He is so handsome,” Ma Lina sounded a bit disappointed.
“He was reappointed to the poor northwest region, but he said its abroad,” Hao Ren thought.
“I’m full. Let’s go! We still have a lot to do!” Zhao Yanzi finished her last bite of pizza and dragged Hao Ren up.
“I’ll go pay,” Hao Ren went over to the cashier to pay.
Zhao Yanzi held onto Hao Ren’s arm and wasn’t willing to leave his side.
Ma Lina was biting into a fried drumstick at the moment. When she turned her head over, she saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi being so close. She then turned toward Xie Yujia who was by her side and asked, “This little girl sure sticks to Hao Ren a lot. Aren’t you jealous?”
“She’s Hao Ren’s fiancée,” Xie Yujia looked at Ma Lina and said.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi intentionally sticking onto Hao Ren, Xie Yujia was a bit jealous.
Ma Lina had thought that Zhao Yanzi was joking around, but Xie Yujia knew well that Zhao Yanzi was declaring war with her!
However… If Zhao Yanzi wanted war, Xie Yujia was fine with it too!
Ma Lina smiled and waved at Hao Ren. She yelled, “Hao Ren, I’m going to take Xie Yujia to check out the new handsome freshmen at university’s military training site. You don’t mind, right?”
Hao Ren started sweating and thought, “It isn’t something that should be yelled out.”
