Chapter 23: The Number One Handsome Guy in Dongda University
(Hmm, I found that the recommendation votes for other books are much higher than mine. Xiaolong's book is basically at the bottom... Is it that everyone is too lazy to vote or unwilling to vote?)
For the next two days, Hao Ren did not go to tutor Zhao Yanzi, but instead secretly took out time in the evening to practice long-distance running on the playground. In this university sports meeting where strong players were everywhere, he had never thought of getting first place, but at least he didn't want to be last.
He believes his long-distance running foundation is still there, he just needs to recover a bit.
The 400-meter plastic track surrounding the football field has only four or five tall lamps, and the entire playground looks quiet and desolate.
Hao Ren adjusted his breathing and controlled his pace, fighting alone. He deliberately chose to come running at 9 pm, not without reason.
There's still an hour before the dormitory building closes, those who played ball have all gone back, he is practicing here, no one will disturb him.
Today in the daytime class of "Weak Light Electrical Signal Processing", beautiful Su Han wore a rivet denim shirt with cowboy hot pants and martin boots, so stylish that it once again caused the boys to scream.
However, in the process of her class, she never glanced at Hao Ren, as if the fact that she had specifically called Hao Ren to her office last week had never happened.
She coldly finished her lesson and left. Although Hao Ren knew that he and she had an intersection in another world, but returning to their ordinary identities, they were like strangers - this super beautiful teacher who was worthy of the title would never give special treatment to a certain inconspicuous ordinary student.
Hao Ren also believed that Su Han must have talked to Lu Qing about his problem...
He was thinking about the trivial matters of the day while running when suddenly a basketball rolled to his feet with a thud.
Hao Ren stopped in his tracks, picked up the basketball and looked in the direction it had rolled from. Not far away, he saw a handsome young man with a sturdy and proportionate body, wearing a white shirt and sporting two dashing sword-like eyebrows, sitting on the stairs.
Hao Ren recognized him.
Known as "the most handsome guy in Dongda", the president of the school's rock climbing club, and the man who can make the school flower Lin Li pursue him: Huang Xujie.
Hao Ren lifted the basketball with one hand and then pointed at it with his other hand, as if to ask if it was his.
He nodded and beckoned to Hao Ren with a crooked finger.
Hao Ren slanted across half a step, single-handedly tossing the basketball over.
More than 20 meters away, when the basketball came in front of Huang Xu Jie, it just fell down.
Huang Xujie stretched out a palm and slapped the basketball.
After doing all this, Hao Ren shook his arm and prepared to continue running forward.
"Second grade!" Huang Xujie suddenly spoke up.
"Huh?" Hao Ren looked at him in confusion.
"I heard you also ran 1500 meters?" he asked suddenly.
Hao Ren gazed at him warily, sensing a faint hint of hostility.
"I heard you're really cool lately?" Huang Xujie tossed the ball, letting it spin rapidly on his fingertips. "You've got a big attitude? A luxury car comes to school to pick people up?"
"Stealing your thunder?" Hao Ren shot back, asking him.
Bang! Huang Xujie suddenly stopped the spinning basketball in his hand, "Yes, you're too arrogant, I'm really annoyed."
Hao Ren is usually low-key in his daily life, but he's not a coward. He stands on the track, facing Huang Xu Jie, "As my senior, are you going to teach me a lesson?"
Huang Xujie didn't answer directly, but instead asked again, "I heard that Su Han let you go to her office alone? What's your relationship with her?"
Hao Ren suddenly caught a strong sour smell from the faint hostility.
"Nothing can be done!" Hao Ren lifted his feet and ran forward again.
Huang Xujie didn't expect this unknown sophomore to be so arrogant, and he was stunned, watching Hao Ren's gradually disappearing back, squeezing the basketball in his hand.
Hao Ren ran another lap and came back, but Huang Xujie had already disappeared.
He also understood that the things happening around him in these two weeks were indeed too eye-catching. The luxury cars kept coming to the campus just for him, and it was hard not to suspect some showiness.
Su Han personally invited Hao Ren to her office for a deep talk, making those self-proclaimed handsome guys in school jealous and envious. Perhaps they thought that everything Hao Ren had done before was just to get Su Han's attention - and with such clumsy means, it actually worked, and Su Han became interested in Hao Ren - how could this not make them, the big shots on campus, furious?
To know that they were so arrogant in school, but all they got was the screams of ordinary pretty girls, while Su Han, who was as beautiful as a fairy, didn't even give them a glance.
Speaking of which, Su Han's beauty has indeed exceeded the ordinary person's imagination, reaching a degree that is detrimental to the country and its people. The boys' infatuation with her is also understandable. If Hao Ren didn't know her true nature, he would probably be secretly admiring her beauty as well.
It was already 9:30, and Hao Ren left the playground, jogging back to his dormitory. Zhao Jiaxin and the other three, along with Gu Jiatang from the opposite dormitory, were huddled together playing cards in a dimly lit room.
Hao Ren took a face basin towel to take a cool shower. As for Huang Xujie's provocative behavior, he remained tight-lipped.
Friday only had half a day of classes, and it passed very quickly. The proportion of local students in Donghai University is very large, so after Friday afternoon, the originally bustling campus suddenly became quiet.
Zhao Jiaxin and several of his buddies didn't want to go home this week, so they dragged Hao Ren along and joined forces with the guys from the neighboring dorm rooms to go sing at a KTV near school. After singing until they were exhausted, they went to eat hot pot, drink alcohol and eat meat until their whole body was soft and mushy, then returned to the dorm to play cards.
Such days, decadent and joyful.
This made Hao Ren very pleased. No matter what happened during this period, he still had such a good group of brothers. Attending classes together, skipping classes together, drinking together, and eating meat together.
Zhao Yanzi's third uncle will never be able to experience this kind of mortal joy.
The hands pointed at 9 o'clock, Hao Ren put down the poker cards in his hand and said, "I'm going to the playground for a run."
"Hey, don't go, what's the point of running around for two days, playing cards and stuff..." Zhao Jiayu pulled back Hao Ren.
"Let's play a game, it'll help you recover some of your state. Gu Jiatang, come over and play cards!" Hao Ren stuffed the cards into Gu Jiatang's hands, "If we lose, it's on me, if we win, it's on you."
Upon hearing this sentence, Gu Jia Dong's face lit up with joy and he immediately sat down with a thud, holding the sign.
Hao Ren immediately changed into his running shoes and sprinted towards the playground.
On Friday night, the school was a bit too quiet. As he passed by his own college's office building, Hao Ren subconsciously looked up at the office and suddenly had a very strange thought: Su Han should have gone home too, I wonder where she lives?
Zhao Hongyu said that Su Han and Donghai have some connection, but she doesn't know what kind of connection it is... It's probably because of this that Su Han teaches at Lu Qing's school.
Hao Ren ran further while thinking, and the two girls walking towards him saw his reluctant look and snorted in disdain. Almost every male student in school had some thoughts about Su Han, and when they passed by this office building, the most common action was to lift their heads like Hao Ren to look at Su Han's office, hoping to catch a glimpse of this stunning beauty through the window.
What makes them even more frustrated is that Su Huan, apart from attending classes and elegantly walking through the campus, rarely shows up at school. Not even during meal times in the cafeteria has anyone seen her figure, which makes people feel like she's not a part of this world.
Hao Ren arrived at the playground and, according to his plan, ran 10 laps around it first. He didn't know if it was because he had broken through the first layer of Jing Shen Jue, but he felt that his physical strength had recovered very quickly recently.
The dim yellow light stretched his shadow out long, Hao Ren was the sole occupant of this vast playground and the stillness of the night. As he moved forward at a steady pace, he focused his mind to comprehend the aura of heaven and earth, while adjusting his breathing and footsteps.
His clothes fluttering, Hao Ren himself didn't notice that his running self had a kind of elegant demeanor. Every step was so steady and persistent, the clear wind surrounded him, and flowed smoothly through his collar.
The Way of Heaven is natural, and Hao Ren, who has been influenced by the laws of heaven and earth, moves in harmony with the most beautiful and rational trajectory of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams on this quiet night, every move he makes.
Ten circles later, it's still ten circles.
Hao Ren himself felt a little surprised, his physical strength seemed to have no decline at all. Although it was a long run, it felt like a leisurely stroll, with no feeling of heaviness in his feet.
"Huh?" He ran for a while longer, then suddenly felt like someone was watching him from a certain corner.
He looked in that direction and focused his gaze.
All he saw was Xie Yu Jia wearing a white floral long dress, quietly sitting on the steps tens of meters away, smiling at him.
