Chapter Thirty-Three: Can't Keep a Low Profile Anymore

  (It seems like many people are waiting for me to get fat... At least give me some collection and recommendation... Sorrowful...)

  It was at this time that Hao Ren walked down from the stands and happened to run into Huang Xujie head-on.

  Hao Ren wore a set of off-brand sportswear, which was still neat, but the edges had some messy threads. Compared to Huang Xujie's Adidas sportswear made of silk fabric that shone brightly in the sunlight, the quality was not just one level lower.

  Huang Xujie's feet were wearing a pair of high-end looking running shoes, while Hao Ren was wearing the most ordinary off-brand tourist shoes.

  Seeing Hao Ren's equipment so shabby, Huang Xujie disdainfully curled his lips, obviously looking down on Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren didn't plan on paying attention to him and walked towards the small running track.

  "Second place," Huang Xujie said as Hao Ren brushed past him, "has already prepared to take the last spot, right?"

  "My name is not Second Grade, it's Hao Ren." Hao Ren turned around and said to him.

  "Haha." Huang Xujie sneered twice, he leaned in close and whispered into Hao Ren's ear, "Let me thoroughly defeat you in front of the whole school."

  He said in a low voice, but his arrogant attitude was unmistakable.

  But seeing them talking so "intimately" in the venue, Xie Yu Jia standing on the platform couldn't help but wonder: when did Hao Ren become good friends with Huang Xu Jie?

  Hao Ren didn't argue with him, he hadn't thought about what kind of ranking he could get, but since the class leader had chosen him to participate in the competition, he would do his best. If he still got last place, then he had nothing to say.

  "He didn't even dare to speak, second grade." Huang Xujie glanced at him lightly and made a cool kicking motion, causing the girls in the audience to scream wildly again.

  Hao Ren walked quietly towards the track, his fists clenched tightly. Just now when Huang Xujie provoked him in his ear for a moment, he really wanted to hit him, but he still endured it.

  Just because he's a bit more handsome, does he think Donghai University is his territory? Hao Ren turned around to look at this so-called "senior", and felt a little ridiculous in his heart.

  It seemed that except for Xie Yu Jia and Hao Ren's classmates, no one would notice Hao Ren who was wearing a poor-quality sportswear and tattered tourist shoes.

  On the contrary, wherever Huang Xujie went, there were enthusiastic reactions from girls all around. His black hair, strong physique, cool eyes, and yellow wristband that moved with his arm swings all became reasons for the girls to scream.

  Just now, when Hao Ren met Huang Xujie face to face, in the eyes of girls, this unremarkable boy was completely incomparable to the handsome Huang Xujie, and even no one noticed that they stopped for a few seconds during their brief conversation when they passed each other.

  Hao Ren walked to the westernmost corner of the playground, a quiet little corner on the plastic track practicing shuttle runs. Because of the intense sun, he was soon sweating profusely.

  He felt relieved and went back to the stands, finding his own class's area.

  The class monitor Xie Yu Jia has finished taking attendance, all members of the class have found their seats and sat down, everyone is drinking beverages and sharing snacks, waiting for the sports meeting to officially begin.

  "Hao Ren!" Seeing Hao Ren walking over, Xie Yu Jia stretched out her slender arm and waved it wildly.

  Hao Ren walked over, and Xie Yu Jia pointed to the empty space beside her, "Sit here!"

  This invitation made Hao Ren slightly surprised. He looked at Zhao Jiaxin and the other two with his eyes, then turned to Xie Yuja and said, "I'll still sit with them."

  "They sat behind the empress, and you went to compete, going in and out, it's inconvenient." Xie Yu Jia gave a reason.

  Hao Ren looked at Zhao Jiaxin and the others, seeing that they were also waving at him. However, upon seeing a large group of stinky men crowded together, scattered poker chips, and noisy commotion, Hao Ren gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that he would forget about his principles today, and sat down beside Xie Yu Jia.

  This move left Zhao Jiatian stunned, his mouth wide open, almost big enough to fit an egg.

  Hao Ren... This guy who gets a little red in the face when he sees pretty girls... Actually dares to sit next to class beauty Xie Yu Jia...

  But what happened next left him even more astonished.

  Xie Yu Jia saw Hao Ren covered in sweat and surprisingly pulled out her own handkerchief, smiling as she wiped away the sweat from his forehead!

  Honk.

  Zhao Jiayun felt his chin had dislocated.

  "What a big explosion!" He reacted and shouted to Cao Ronghua who was playing cards with great enthusiasm, "Aren is actually talking to Xie Yuja!"

  "What?" Zhou Liren shouted, turning his head to see Hao Ren and Xie Yu Jia sitting together below, instantly becoming as expressionless as Zhao Jiaxin just now.

  "It's okay, I'll do it myself." Meanwhile, Hao Ren, who was sitting below, saw Xie Yu Jia personally wiping his sweat and felt a sense of being pampered, hurriedly blocking Xie Yu Jia's pale and tender arm.

  Xie Yu Jia was overly enthusiastic towards him, making him extremely nervous and uneasy.

  "You are our class hero, nothing much." Xie Yu Jia smiled and said.

  She handed another bottle of water to Hao Ren, "Here, replenish some moisture."

  This move made Zhou Liren and several others sitting above look at it with their eyes wide open.

  That Ah Ren is really lucky with women... They coincidentally came up with the same idea.

  "Class monitor, don't be so nice to me, I'm a bit overwhelmed." Hao Ren caught the mineral water with one hand and made a defensive gesture with the other, speaking truthfully in his flustered state.

  "I hope I can always be this good to you in the future." Xie Yu Jia smiled and said.

  Hao Ren stared blankly at her smiling face, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out.

  "Just kidding." Seeing Hao Ren's stupid expression, Xie Yu Jia added with a smile.

  "Oh..." Hao Ren finally returned to normal.

  He thought for a moment and then said, "However, class monitor, if I really come in last place, don't blame me for disappointing your expectations."

  "It's okay as long as you try your best." Xie Yu Jia's beautiful face was facing Hao Ren, her eyes sincerely staring at him, "This is the biggest difference between you and them."

  Hao Ren smiled wryly and made no comment.

  "Oh, right, do you know Huang Xujie?" Xie Yujia suddenly asked.

  "I suppose..." Hao Ren replied vaguely. In his heart, he thought that a girl like Xie Yu Jia should also have liked Huang Xu Jie, the big handsome guy.

  "He's quite handsome, and many girls like him." Xie Yujia said.

  "Haha." Hao Ren chuckled. In this day and age, being handsome was indeed a meal ticket.

  "His dad is the vice mayor of Donghai City," Xie Yu Jia continued.

  No wonder he's so arrogant... But is the vice mayor that great? Hao Ren said disdainfully in his heart.

  He didn't know that when Xie Yu Jia turned her head to talk to him, there were many jealous eyes staring at his back.

  Suddenly, in this lush green scene, a sensitive color entered Hao Ren's line of sight.

  Light blue middle school uniform, drifting into the playground like jasmine flowers.
