Chapter 45: Not Jealousy! But Strict Inspection!

  You guys are too awesome!!! You actually pushed Xiaolong's book to the top of the newcomer chart!!!!! Looks like Xiaolong can't slack off with writing anymore~~~

  Back in Zhao Yanzi's room, seeing that it was almost 8 o'clock, Hao Ren sent a text message to Zhao Jiatong, telling them not to come back tonight, so as not to worry them. The four of them had a good relationship, especially during the sensitive period of Huang Xujie's incident, and Hao Ren was afraid they would worry unnecessarily.

  "Who is he sending a message to?" Zhao Yanzi leaned over to take a look as Hao Ren was busy typing away on his phone.

  Hao Ren turned half of his body away from her, not letting her see. This only piqued her curiosity, and she had to lean in to take a look.

  Drip...... Transmission complete. Hao Ren put his phone back in his pocket.

  He turned around and looked at Zhao Yanzi, "Alright, sit down, let's start making up for lost time."

  Zhao Yanzi sat down with a whoosh of purple energy, then suddenly looked up again, slanting her eyes at Hao Ren. "Are you texting that class monitor?"

  "When will it be your turn to take care of me?" Hao Ren poked her nose with his finger. Zhao Yanzi, wearing a pink pajama, looked like a cute little rabbit, and her pale face had a hint of pink, just like the porcelain dolls sold in small shops outside, making Hao Ren have an irresistible urge to touch her.

  Especially when he felt a sour taste in her words, it made Hao Ren feel somewhat amused.

  Slap! She forcefully slapped Hao Ren's arm, reacting strongly to his private touch on her body.

  "What's wrong? Are you jealous?" Hao Ren rubbed his reddened right hand with his left hand.

  "Do you believe I'll kick you out?" Zhao Yanzi pointed outside the window and said fiercely.

  At this moment, it is still pouring heavily outside. Although the house is relatively quiet, the sound of rain can still be heard pattering and pounding from outside.

  She suddenly became serious, and Hao Ren didn't want to really escalate the conflict either. He sighed and said, "No, I'll send a text message to my dormitory classmates, telling them that I won't be back tonight, so they don't have to worry."

  "Bring me the phone!" Zhao Yanzi stretched out her delicate little hand.

  Hao Ren sighed again, thinking that there was no point in arguing with a little girl, so he took out his mobile phone and handed it over to her.

  Zhao Yanzi flipped open her phone and actually started checking the messages inside. This serious expression really looked like those spicy girlfriends' surprise inspections on their boyfriends.

  When she saw that the message was really sent to a man named Zhao Jiayun, she hummed softly and handed the phone back to Hao Ren.

  "Relieved?" Hao Ren put his phone back in his pocket and asked her on purpose.

  "There's nothing to worry about!" Zhao Yanzi said with a stubborn expression.

  Hao Ren still couldn't understand the thoughts of this young girl, flipping through her materials, "First, review English, today's knowledge point to be consolidated is the usage of verb infinitives to-do-something."

  Zhao Yanzi bit her lip and put away the idea of arguing with Hao Ren, opening up her notebook instead.

  This time, Hao Ren spoke very carefully and slowly, trying to explain from the basics. After several tutoring sessions, he knew what level Zhao Yanzi's foundation was at and should use what kind of progress to explain these knowledge points.

  Zhao Yanzi seemed to be more careful than before, her left hand propped up her chin as she thought while memorizing.

  A faint scent of perfume wafted from the small pink pajamas, and her slightly furrowed brow, lost in thought, was also somewhat endearing.

  If this girl calms down, she's actually quite likable. Hao Ren thought to himself as he explained.

  As Zhao Yanzi listened, she gradually became distracted. Her gaze shifted to Hao Ren's face, looking at these somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar features, staring at the twinkling starlight in his eyes, and the various English phrases coming out of his mouth, Zhao Yanzi felt slightly bewildered.

  Moist hair stood disheveled on Hao Ren's head, reflecting layers of black light, and compared to his usual dry hair, it seemed to add some handsomeness.

  "Hey, how come none of you remembered?" Hao Ren waved his palm in front of Zhao Yan's dazed eyes and asked.

  Zhao Yanzi suddenly came back to her senses, a faint flush rising to her cheeks, "Ah, what were we talking about again?"

  Hao Ren sighed, "When it comes to combining with formal subject 'it', it becomes the main subject of the entire sentence. For example: It is my duty to take care of you."

  "Oh." Zhao Yanzi buried her head in copying, but her mind hadn't fully turned around yet, and she asked again, "What does this sentence mean?"

  "It's that simple!" Hao Ren pointed at his notebook, "Duty, responsibility, it means taking care of you is my responsibility."

  He was a bit annoyed and disappointed. He had prepared such detailed materials and explained them so clearly, but Zhao Yanzi didn't appreciate his efforts and was distracted.

  Seeing Hao Ren getting a bit impatient, Zhao Yanzi's temper also flared up, "I've been in class all day, and at night I still have to listen to your lectures, I'm exhausted to death! Can't even take a nap!"

  Watching her being unreasonable, Hao Ren was also furious, "What kind of temper is this! I'm trying to teach you..."

  Knock knock knock! Three knocks sounded at the door.

  Then the door was opened and Zhao Hongyu walked in with a tray of dim sum, smiling and asking, "What are you quarreling about?"

  Seeing Zhao Hongyu, Hao Ren's anger suddenly decreased by half, and Zhao Yanzi's expression also became obedient at once.

  "Hmm... nothing much, I just have a different view with Zi on a certain knowledge point," Hao Ren said.

  "Oh? Let me see." Zhao Hongyu seemed somewhat skeptical, walked over, picked up Zhao Yanzi's notebook, and read out in fluent English, "It-is-my-duty-to-take-care-of-you. Taking care of you is my duty, what's wrong with this sentence?"

  Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi both had red faces and ears, not knowing how to respond. Hao Ren himself felt strange, why did he get so angry when Zhao Yanzi just casually retorted a few sentences?

  "Ah, that's a good sentence." Zhao Hongyu put down Zhao Yanzi's notebook and placed the plate with snacks in front of them. "It's been a long time since dinner, let's have some midnight snacks."

  "Thank you, Aunt." Hao Ren picked up one of the pastries.

  "Thank you, Mom." Zhao Yan Zi carefully picked up a pastry from the plate with her small mouth.

  "Alright, I won't disturb you anymore. Continue with your studies." Zhao Hongyu picked up the plate and smiled as she exited the room.

  Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat awkward. It was strange to say, but the fierce flames of anger that had burned earlier couldn't be rekindled at this moment.

  Helpless, Hao Ren coughed twice, breaking the silence. He went through the motions according to what Zhao Hongyu had conveyed at dinner time and asked her, "English supplementary lessons will stop here for now, do you have any questions about your other subjects? I think you're also tired, why don't we call it a day early today?"

  Wow! Zhao Yanzi pulled open the drawer and took out several thick exercise books from inside.

  And on her face, a hint of revengeful smile floated up, and her voice also became clearer, "It seems that suddenly, I'm feeling better again!"
