“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 free 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.”
“Hey! Stop yelling!” Xie Yujia quickly tried to stop Ma Lina. Even though Ma Lina wanted to see handsome first-year students, she didn’t want to; she wasn’t as desperate as Ma Lina.
“Yujia, I’m going to take Zi to buy some stuff,” Hao Ren said to Xie Yujia, acting as if he didn’t hear Ma Lina at all. Then, he dragged Zhao Yanzi out of the pizza restaurant.
Everyone in the restaurant was disappointed because this adorable girl was only Hao Ren’s little cousin… The guys were extremely jealous since Hao Ren had such a beautiful girlfriend and also such a cute little cousin!
Hao Ren was deeply relieved when he walked outside.
“Don’t worry. I didn’t make you look bad!” Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes at Hao Ren.
She was ready to battle with Xie Yujia, but she didn’t want to make Hao Ren look bad in public. With her sharp female’s sixth sense, she knew that Xie Yujia wasn’t going to let go of Hao Ren that easily.
The gentler a person is, usually the more stubborn that person will be.
However, Zhao Yanzi would also not back down that easily nor would she admit defeat!
Hao Ren smiled. “List what you wanted to buy again.”
“A pencil case, a backpack, pens, a lamp, slippers, a small fan…” Zhao Yanzi started counting the things with her fingers.
They could buy some of these things in small specialty shops at Hongji Square, and they would need to go to supermarkets to buy the rest. It would at least take half a day to buy everything on Zhao Yanzi’s list.
There were many specialty shops at Hongji Square, and some sold small things that girls would love. Zhao Yanzi wouldn’t even look at the prices and brought all the things that she liked because she was using Hao Ren’s money.
It didn’t take long before Hao Ren’s bag was full of random stuff. Zhao Yanzi continued to drag Hao Ren over to the supermarket to fully take advantage of Hao Ren’s free labor. She was going to get everything she needed today.
Hao Ren hung the two big bags on the handlebars of the bicycle and got Zhao Yanzi back to LingZhao Middle School.
It was convenient to get to Zhao Yanzi’s school from East Ocean University…
Hao Ren was pedaling the bicycle while Zhao Yanzi sat in the back seat and hummed songs.
The slight wind blew in their faces, and the trees on the two sides of the road were sprouting. There was a moment when Hao Ren thought he had gone back in time to his middle school days and was in school with Zhao Yanzi at the same time…
“Uncle! We’re here!” Zhao Yanzi brought Hao Ren back to reality.
“Ok, ok…” Hao Ren coughed twice and stopped the bike. He realized that there was a small generation gap between him and Zhao Yanzi.
“Ah, so romantic!”
Ling and the other two dormmates of Zhao Yanzi were laughing and yelling from room 406’s balcony when they saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi blushed and glared at Hao Ren. “Hurry up and carry my stuff upstairs!”
“Such a sad day…” Hao Ren carried the two big bags into the building and up the stairs to the fourth floor.
It was the move-in day, so there were a lot of parents around helping, and males were now temporarily allowed in. However, if Hao Ren wanted to come here in the future, it wouldn’t be this simple.
The parents of the three girls in room 406 already left. The other two girls had boarded before, but Ling hadn’t. That was why the other two girls had organized their stuff and were helping Ling with hers.
Zhao Yanzi bought her stuff just today. She had never lived at school until now, so she didn’t know what to do and how to organize everything.
The other three girls didn’t help Zhao Yanzi intentionally so that there was an opportunity for Hao Ren to make a ‘good impression’ on Zhao Yanzi.
However, Zhao Yanzi felt bad, so she helped Hao Ren to sort out her stuff.
“Zi, your boyfriend treats you so well,” Liu Qiqi said when she saw how sweaty Hao Ren had gotten from moving stuff around.
“What…” Although Zhao Yanzi seemed to be against what Liu Qiqi said, her facial expression showed otherwise.
Hao Ren was also a bit embarrassed, and his face turned bright pink.
It was weird enough that he had a fiancée in middle school, but he also had to deal with these middle school friends of Zhao Yanzi…
“Yo! I’ll take you all around Hongji Square later today. It’s not far from here, and I’m familiar with that place! There are even specialty bubble tea shops and ice cream shops!” Zhao Yanzi said happily, trying to change the topic of conversation.
Hao Ren was at a loss for words as he thought, “You’re familiar with the place… If it weren’t for me taking you around…”
“Uncle, if there isn’t anything else to do, you can go now!” Zhao Yanzi said to Hao Ren after she saw that the lamp on her desk was already set up.
She was going to have fun at Hongji Squares with her friends without Hao Ren!
“Humph, humph! Who told you to be such a player, eating lunch with Xie Yujia!” she thought.
