Chapter 17: Set Out!!

  (Hehe, I'm not very good at canvassing votes, but it seems like nobody has the habit of voting?)

  Hao Ren knew that Lu Qing was actually greeting him, and he went to Zhao Yanzi's house as a guest. Lu Qing must have known about it, and Hao Ren felt that this behavior was Lu Qing's encouragement towards him.

  That little girl, with all the love and pampering in the world, it's no wonder she has a spoiled temperament.

  Of course, he wouldn't tell these things to his classmates around him. If they knew that Hao Ren was being protected by the principal, who knows what they would think.

  They returned to the dormitory in a noisy group, some playing cards and others using computers, continuing to make noise until the lights were turned off at 12 o'clock midnight, before reluctantly going back to their rooms to rest.

  While the three brothers in the bedroom were asleep, Hao Ren sneaked out of bed again and ran to the balcony to practice what was called "Jing Shen Jue".

  The moonlight shone over the entire dormitory area, and Hao Ren felt a weak flow of air circulating inside his body, gradually casting aside various distractions and entering a very ethereal realm.

  When he came to, it was already 4 am. In a few hours, he would have to go to class. Turning back, he saw that the three brothers in the house were still sleeping soundly. He hurriedly and quietly returned inside and rested on his bed.

  He had only practiced the Mind Focus Technique, his spirit was full and didn't feel tired at all. So he flipped out the chant in his mind and carefully experienced it several times.

  In just a few short days, he had mastered the so-called "qi sensation". If this mantra were to be leaked out, it would surely shock the traditional qigong community. Hao Ren pondered over the subtle meanings hidden within the mantra while his mind wandered aimlessly.

  He had forgotten that he had an extraordinary internal elixir in his body, and this single immature internal elixir was equivalent to the cultivation of an ordinary person for three hundred years.

  Before they knew it, the sky had brightened and Zhou Liren was loudly shouting for everyone to get up. The first class on Monday morning was Advanced Mathematics, and the old teacher was extremely strict, so they didn't dare skip class. Of course, there were times when they had skipped before, but without exception, they all ended up failing at the end of the semester.

  Four people rushed to the cafeteria to have breakfast and then rushed to class.

  After a weekend, Hao Ren saw his classmates again, and he felt a little sentimental. The classmates in the class also looked back at Hao Ren, pointing and whispering to each other. It seemed that on Friday, the Lincoln limousine came to pick up Hao Ren in a very domineering manner, leaving a deep impression on them.

  Hao Ren spent ten minutes copying his homework and then handed it over to class monitor Xie Yu Jia.

  "What's going on on Friday?" Xie Yu Jia asked while collecting Hao Ren's notebook. As for him copying his homework, she turned a blind eye, as long as he could pass the exam, it was fine.

  "It was a relative who invited me out for dinner," Hao Ren said.

  "I heard someone mention something about a fiancée." Xie Yu Jia asked immediately after.

  "Just kidding." Hao Ren replied calmly, indicating that he didn't want to say more.

  Xie Yu Jia then stopped asking and turned around to collect the homework from the back row.

  Seeing this scene, Zhou Liren, who was sitting next to Hao Ren, elbowed him and said with a smile, "Seems like she's interested in you."

  "If you had a Lincoln limousine come pick you up, she'd ask you the same thing." Hao Ren said with a glance at him.

  Zhou Liren laughed even more happily, but I don't know what he's so happy about.

  The course is extremely boring. These differential and integral formulas may be difficult for girls, but for a science whiz like Hao Ren in high school, they are not difficult to understand at all.

  In fact, his worst subject is English...

  Hao Ren pulled out a 300-page English exercise book from his bag and started doing it on the table.

  Zhou Liren, who was also listening to the class absent-mindedly, curiously walked over and asked, "Doing English exercises?" When he saw that it was a collection of junior high school English exercises, he became even more surprised. "Junior high school questions? What do you want to do, go back to junior high school again?"

  "It's nothing, just playing around." Hao Ren ignored him.

  Zhou Li didn't believe it, "Honestly speaking, is this about flirting with a middle school girl?"

  While listening to their conversation, Cao Ronghua and Zhao Jiayu also came over, "Aren, what are you doing?"

  "Alright, alright," Hao Ren was tormented by them until he had no choice, "Starting today, I'm going to give a girl tutoring."

  "Little girl? Pretty?" Zhou Liren's eyes lit up.

  "Isn't it the one who came to school looking for you last time?" Zhao Jiayu thought for a moment and asked.

  Hao Ren sighed, "It's her."

  "No wonder he made a big fuss in Heaven's Palace last time. It turns out that she is the little sister of your family's teachings." Zhao Jiaxin suddenly realized.

  "Was it also her who sent someone to pick us up by car that Friday?" Cao Ronghua asked.

  Hao Ren nodded.

  "Wow! You've hooked up with a beautiful young rich woman!" Zhou Liren exclaimed, wrapping his arm around Hao Ren's neck in envy.

  "What are you four whispering about in the back!" The old teacher suddenly stopped his lecture, glaring at the four of them sitting in the back row.

  The four of them hastily lowered their heads, pretending to listen attentively in class.

  "If you don't want to listen to the lesson, then all of you get out!" The old man vented another sentence and continued with the lesson.

  Xie Yu Jia turned around and looked at Hao Ren, shaking her head helplessly.

  Zhou Liren muttered under his breath, lowering his voice, "That little girl, yeah, she's a bit wild, but very pretty, let's trick her into coming to school next time."

  "Beautiful thought!" Hao Ren responded in a low voice. Zhou Liren thought Zhao Yanzi was just a simple and innocent girl, but Hao Ren knew that this guy, Zhao Yanzi, was not a good person at all.

  Besides, if Zhao Yanzi has any misfortune or discomfort, and goes to Lu Qing's side to complain about you, then Zhou Liren, you'd better be prepared to face the consequences.

  The advanced math class in the morning had just ended, and everyone was preparing to disperse for lunch. However, Class Monitor Xie Yu Jia suddenly stood up, "Everyone, don't leave yet, I have something to say!"

  Hao Ren subconsciously startled, thinking it had something to do with him, but saw Xie Yu Jia walk up to the front of the lecture hall, "Next week is the school sports meet, the college requires each class to have at least six people sign up, now let's count the number!"

  Xie Yujia wore a cool and refreshing outfit, with a plain cartoon T-shirt paired with light blue denim shorts, giving off a very pretty feeling.

  The boys who were just about to leave suddenly couldn't move when they saw Xie Yu Jia.

  She stood on tiptoes, raised her hands and tried to attract the attention of the whole classroom. This action, standing on a slightly elevated platform, made her very pose-like.

  Especially a colorful narrow belt, outlining her beautiful small waist, plays the role of "dotting the dragon's eyes" in her ordinary dress.

  "It's no wonder she's both the class leader and the beauty of the class." Zhou Liren muttered.

  Seeing everyone stop in their tracks and quiet down, Xie Yu Jia finally took a deep breath and continued, "I've already pre-selected several names, the rest of you can sign up on your own."

  Yu Rong, the first, pushes the lead ball.

  "Second, Cai Junjie, high jump."

  "Third, Chen Han, 4x100m relay."

  "Fourth, Hao Ren! 1500 meters long run!"

  When she called out Hao Ren's name, it seemed particularly loud.

  "Really?" The person being called out looked especially innocent.

  Zhao Jiaxin and others looked at Hao Ren with a mixture of surprise and delight.

  "Everyone, please quiet down!" Xie Yu Jia raised her hands again. "The four mentioned earlier are just the ones I signed up for in advance. Whether we can participate in the competition or not will still depend on the college's selection. At least our class needs to show an active attitude towards participating."

  Seeing that no one was speaking up, she asked again, "Two more spots are still available, who wants to sign up? Most of the events are for boys, and there are only a few girls in our class. You boys, be more proactive!"

  Although she said that, who is willing to show up and participate in the competition? You know, there are many masters in college, and many students with sports bonuses. And those otakus in their class, each one is a computer master, but they're really not good at sports. Who wants to lose face in front of the whole school?

  Seeing these boys shrinking back, Xie Yu Jia was somewhat dissatisfied and gritted her teeth, "Alright, just Zhao Jia Xin and Zhou Li Ren! You two, 100-meter dash!"

  Zhao Jia-yin and Zhou Li-ren, who were originally gloating over the misfortune of others, immediately let out a mournful cry upon hearing this.

  "Alright, that's all! Let's go have dinner!" Xie Yujia bent down to write the names in her notebook and announced the dismissal.

  Zhou Liren helplessly watched Xie Yujia walk out of the classroom from the front door, suddenly turned his head to look at Hao Ren, "She seems to be targeting our dormitory!"

  "How am I supposed to know!" Hao Ren retorted with a sentence and strode out of the classroom from the back door.

  The afternoon class was equally dull and tedious for Hao Ren. Zhou Liren, sitting next to him, grumbled and complained that Xie Yu Jia had signed him up without his consent, and when the time came, he would be running last in front of the whole school, wouldn't it be a lifelong shame?

  "Just stop talking, it's not your turn anyway. The academy is full of strong people, how could it be your turn?" Hao Ren couldn't help but put down his pen and glare at him.

  "It's also possible, what if no one goes and I'm forced to go instead?" Zhou Liren said.

  "Then you'd fall in front of the whole school, and all the beauties would remember your handsome face. Your plan to find a girlfriend in college would be accomplished smoothly." Hao Ren said.

  "Easy for you to say! Oh dear, how embarrassing...!" Zhou Liren covered his face, pretending to be dramatic.

  Hao Ren didn't bother to respond, and instead continued doing his junior high school English workbook. Tonight would be the first time in his life that he would be tutoring someone else, the first time experiencing what it's like to be a tutor.

  Drip, drip...

  Hao Ren's phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

  He picked up his phone and saw a message from Xie Yu Jia: The college has discussed it, the other five were eliminated, you ran 1500 meters. I know you're good at running, go for it.

  Hao Ren was stunned.
