Chapter 121: Super Genius

  Xie Yu Jia held vegetables in her right hand and supported the backpack strap with her left hand, walking forward step by step.

  The shadow of the utility pole divided the road surface into sections, and Hao Ren seemed to be accompanying her, crossing one section after another.

  Suddenly, he felt that this scene was a bit familiar. Time flowed backwards, as if returning to his own childhood, drawing squares on the ground, hand in hand, "jumping house".

  Take another look at Xie Yu Jia beside him, gentle and virtuous like a newlywed young woman. In this slightly warm sunlight, Hao Ren couldn't tell whether it was the past, present or future.

  Entering an old-fashioned residential area, Xie Yu Jia led Hao Ren Qi to a grey building.

  Walking along the stairs to the third floor, Xie Yu Jia patted a black anti-theft door with her hand, "Brother! I'm back! Open the door!"

  The creaky old anti-theft door was pulled open with a loud screech, and Xie Wanjun, wearing a worn-out undershirt, emerged into their line of sight like a small mountain.

  Looking from the entrance, the house is relatively clean after cleaning, but it can only be considered as the most ordinary decoration. In this kind of old-fashioned residential area with a house age of over ten years, people who are really rich should have moved out already?

  "Come in." Xie Wanjun stepped aside, his body blocking the doorway, making it impossible for anyone to enter.

  "I bought some shiitake mushrooms, chicken leg mushrooms, some celery, and a few peanuts." Xie Yujia said, putting the plastic bag containing vegetables on the table.

  "No need to report to me..." Xie Wanjun waved his hand impatiently.

  "Don't tell you, and you say I bought a bad one..." Xie Yu Jia gave Xie Wan Jun two white eyes.

  Seeing his siblings living together in harmony and arguing with each other, Hao Ren couldn't help but intervene, so he could only find a place to stand first.

  "Alright, alright, I'll cook today." Xie Wanjun finally couldn't outdo his own sister, picked up the plastic bag and entered the greasy kitchen.

  He wore a pair of extra-large sports shorts, with thick thighs that were almost as thick as the concrete pillars outside that prevented cars from passing through.

  "Sit for a while." Xie Yu Jia pulled out a chair and went to make tea for Hao Ren.

  This diligent and virtuous appearance really moved Hao Ren's heart. In the past, at school, he only saw a "class monitor" who was very serious about everything, but now, he sees Xie Yu Jia in real life.

  "Yu Jia, bring him to your room and sit for a while, I'm going to cook, the fumes are heavy!" Xie Wanjun shouted from the kitchen.

  This old house, the kitchen is just an area without a door to separate it. The cooking fumes will drift into the living room, and if a door is installed, the kitchen will be unbearably hot.

  Xie Yu Jia felt a bit resentful in her heart. Her older brother was really something else. How could he let someone enter a girl's room so casually?

  However, she didn't want to bring Hao Ren into her brother's very messy room either. So she pulled on Hao Ren's sleeve and said, "It's smoky outside, why don't you come sit in my room for a bit?"

  Hao Ren was dragged into her room by her, feeling helpless and a little moved. Several weeks ago, he had never thought that he would be a guest in the class monitor's home, let alone visit the class monitor's bedroom!

  On the walls of the room, some outdated posters were posted. The quilt on the bed was neatly stacked, but a line pulled out in the house hung with Xie Yu Jia's...

  When Hao Ren's gaze shifted over there, Xie Yu Jia's face flushed with a hint of redness, and she hastily walked over to pick it up, pretending to be calm, and casually put it in the drawer.

  Hao Ren coughed twice and could only pretend he hadn't seen it, turning around to look at some photos pressed under the glass on his desk.

  Inside, there are recent photos and also very old ones, with Xie Yu Jia in almost every single one of them.

  Hao Ren looked over one by one and saw inside were middle school Xiao Yu Jia, high school Xiao Yu Jia, and several black and white blurry primary school Xiao Yu Jia.

  Who would have thought that Xie Yu Jia, who is always so serious in class, was so adorable when she was little...... Hao Ren said to himself as he looked at these photos.

  Xie Yu Jia's face turned red as she slowly walked over, "They're just childhood photos, nothing worth looking at."

  Hao Ren looked at these photos, "You also like the ocean?"

  "Yeah, I used to go to the beach a lot when I was younger." Xie Yu Jia stood beside Hao Ren, also lowering her head to look at these photos.

  Close to Xie Yu Jia, with Hao Ren's currently extremely sharp five senses, he could even feel the warmth emanating from Xie Yu Jia's arm and shoulder.

  "Hehe, as long as you grew up in Donghai City, you must have liked to play by the sea when you were a kid." Feeling a bit of shyness in Xie Yu's tone, Hao Ren stopped staring at her childhood photos and turned to ask, "Did you live with your brother?"

  "There's also Uncle and Auntie, but they're eating out today and will be back late, so you won't run into them," Xie Yu Jia said.

  "Is Xie Wanjun your cousin?" Hao Ren reacted immediately.

  "Uh-huh." Xie Yujia nodded, "My parents aren't in Donghai City, and I'm studying here, so since junior high school, I've been boarding here."

  Hao Ren nodded, no wonder, Xie Wan Jun and Xie Yu Jia didn't look alike, but their relationship was as close as siblings.

  "But my brother has been living away from home since high school. He attended a full-time boarding high school, and only came back occasionally on weekends. In college, he didn't come back to live at all, instead renting his own place outside of school and going to the gym to train whenever he had time." Xie Yu Jia added.

  "Oh, I see." Hao Ren lowered his voice, "Your brother's grades must be very poor, right? So playing basketball is his only way out?"

  "Who would have thought that Xie Yu Jia immediately shook her head, "My brother's grades are very good! Even now, he is one of the top students in his fourth year at Donghai University! Don't think that he's bad at studying, his brain is not dull at all, I should say he's even smarter than me. In the past, whenever I had trouble with a problem, it was always him who taught me!"

  Hao Ren was somewhat surprised by this answer. He didn't expect that this "big gorilla" would be so good at playing ball, have such excellent grades, and even know how to cook!

  "Don't look at my brother playing basketball all day, he has already received a full scholarship from Stanford University in the United States. He will graduate this year and go to the US for his master's degree!" Xie Yu Jia continued.

  Hao Ren's mouth was agape, and he felt even more incredulous.

  This Donghai University is known as the strongest person at the pinnacle of martial arts, isn't that too awesome...

  "Yu Jia, come out and eat! I just stir-fried a few dishes!" Xie Wanjun shouted from outside.

  "Let's go!" Xie Yu Jia pulled Hao Ren out.

  Hao Ren walked out of Xie Yu Jia's room and saw several plates of stir-fried, oily and shiny vegetarian dishes placed neatly on a small black dining table.

  When he turned his head again to look at Xie Wanjun, his gaze was already somewhat different...
