At 1.9 meters tall, Bo Zhixiong was struck by this blow, but his dark face did not show any signs of violent anger. Instead, after hearing the words at the door, he shook all over and revealed a submissive expression.
The several basketball team members behind him also showed a look of panic.
They walked out of the store in silence, their heads hung low. Without exception, each person was slapped on the back of the head by the man blocking the door as they exited. He hit Berkeleigh the hardest, causing the 1.9-meter-tall man to stumble forward a few steps, but he didn't dare to talk back or resist.
Looking at the majestic figure standing at the door, as magnificent as a mountain, Hao Ren and the other boys couldn't help but wonder what kind of high martial arts value would be needed to subdue this group of sturdy men!
"Get back to training, all of you!" With another rebuke at the entrance, this mysterious man escorted those basketball team members towards the school gate, leaving behind a broad and robust figure with an impressive stature that was half a head taller than Bi Zhi Xiong.
"That should be the captain of the basketball team, Xie Wanjun. Only he can calm down this group of guys on the basketball team." Yu Rong said, who was more familiar with the situation in the school.
Hao Ren did not see Xie Wanjun's face from head to toe, because he was really too tall, higher than the door frame by a head, and later turned around and left, leaving only his back.
"Alright, alright, let's continue eating!" Hao Ren said, gathering his scattered thoughts.
Xie Yu Jia smiled awkwardly and invited everyone to sit back down and continue eating.
After being disturbed by that group of people from the basketball team, they all lost their interest and drinking was no longer as enjoyable.
"You won against Huang Xu Jie today and lost him face, his friends might come to bother you, be careful yourself." Xie Yu Jia reminded, getting closer to Hao Ren.
Seeing Hao Ren not speaking, Xie Yu Jia continued to say, "However, you don't have to really worry about it. At most, they will just be a bit hostile towards you and make you feel uncomfortable. They shouldn't do anything too excessive."
"I'm not worried at all, they're just stirring up trouble. Seniors bullying juniors isn't the first time it's happened in our Dongda either. Zhao Jiayu often gets his basketball court taken over by them too, he's always wanted to gather a group of people and have a fight with them," Hao Ren said.
Xie Yu Jia let out a sigh, "It's better not to fight, or we'll get punished by the school."
She thought to herself whether she should go find her brother and talk to him, telling the basketball team to tone it down, but she also knew that doing so would have little effect. The tradition of upperclassmen bullying underclassmen had been around for a long time, especially with Huang Xujie, the vice mayor's son, who not only founded the most popular rock climbing club in school over the past few years, but also got along well with other sports clubs. Most importantly, he was familiar with the basketball team, and this group of people were almost invincible in school.
The basketball team of Donghai University is famous nationwide, and last year they even won the championship of the National College Students League, making Donghai University truly glorious. So for the school, although their scores in cultural subjects are very poor, each one of them is a treasure. Not to mention ordinary students who definitely can't beat them, even if there's a dispute, the school will definitely be biased towards the basketball team.
Huang Xujie is close to them, so it's natural that Huang Xujie can do whatever he wants in school.
But anyway, Hao Ren lost face to Huang Xu Jie on the court, which might make Huang Xu Jie even more targeted at Hao Ren, making Xie Yu Jia slightly worried.
Xie Yu's mind was a jumble of thoughts, while Hao Ren was thinking on another level. He wasn't worried about what Huang Xu would do to him; in fact, he didn't care much for the deputy mayor's son.
He thought that the deep-seated resentment between those so-called awesome figures in high grades and low grades would eventually lead to real conflicts, just like what happened when Zhao Jiaxin and his classmates were playing basketball but were driven away from the court by some people from the rock climbing club and a few basketball teams.
If they really fight, it's not good for anyone, especially the weaker side of Zhao Jiaxin will be at a disadvantage. According to Hao Ren's knowledge, Zhao Jiaxin has already contacted his friends, and if the senior students from the rock climbing club and basketball team bully him again, he will have a fierce fight with them.
Hao Ren began to consider whether he should take out Lu Qing's business card and have a good talk with the vice president.
The party continued for another half hour before hastily coming to an end. A disgruntled Zhao Jiaxin returned to his dormitory, still seething with resentment. If it weren't for Hao Ren's intervention, he would have wanted to gather some people to go find trouble tonight.
"Ah Ren, if they dare to bother you, just give me a call!" Zhao Jia Yun said with a pat on his chest in the dormitory.
Hao Ren smiled and said, "It's nothing, they're just showing off, they won't really do anything."
In this dormitory, Zhao Jiatian is completely the big brother type, while Hao Ren, Cao Ronghua and Zhou Liren are his "little brothers". The big brother protects the little brother, it's a matter of course. And the various brothers and friends that Zhao Jiatian knows are indeed quite many.
But he never expected that Hao Ren's background was Vice President Lu Qing, and in the so-called Dragon Clan identity, Lu Qing even had to address Hao Ren as "husband".
Even without Lu Qing's relationship, Hao Ren was not afraid of Huang Xujie. He was just naturally low-key and didn't like to provoke trouble.
The day passed with a lot of noise and excitement, the next day, everyone was talking about yesterday's sports meeting while still attending classes as usual.
During class, Hao Ren was still buried in his head organizing his junior high school English exercises. Zhou Liren knew he had to go give Xiaomei tutoring at night and didn't disturb him.
The so-called glory of the long-distance running champion just passed by like a gentle breeze. Even the prize money of 1,000 yuan was left in the public box in their dormitory as funds for entertainment consumption in Room 302.
In Hao Ren's view, only those who are extremely proud of themselves would care about these vain titles and the screams of girls. He worked hard to compete, on one hand because he had participated in this competition, and on the other hand because of Xie Yu Jia's expectations.
By dusk, the sky suddenly turned gloomy. Hao Ren took the 767 bus and arrived at the entrance of Zhao Yanzi's two-story small building on time.
He didn't know why, but after eating Zhao Hongyu's cooking several times, Hao Ren would always feel a little hungry on his way to give Zhao Yanzi tutoring. And because he hadn't come to tutor Zhao Yanzi yesterday on Monday, Hao Ren, who was standing at the door now, suddenly missed Zhao Hongyu's delicious cooking very much.
Hao Ren carried the documents and rang the doorbell.
At this moment, a sudden thunderstorm struck, and heavy rain poured down!
Whoa whoa whoa...... Hao Ren, standing outside the door, was caught off guard and his clothes were instantly soaked halfway!
"Oh no, come in quickly!" Hearing the doorbell, Zhao Hongyu hastily came over to open the door and saw Hao Ren drenched from head to toe. She quickly pulled him inside.
Rumble, rumble, rumble... Another burst of violent thunder, accompanied by a long snake-like flash of lightning, streaked across the sky outside the window.
A vast expanse of rain, soon engulfed the distant high-rise buildings.
Hao Ren was shaking his hair while putting down the documents, Zhao Hongyu handed him a dry white towel and said calmly, "Let's stay here tonight, today is Elder Sun's rain ceremony, it will definitely be a torrential rain that lasts all night."
