tal world. They rarely walk about in the mortal world and even less so involve themselves in worldly affairs. Young Master Hao being able to receive guidance from a Transcendent Deity realm cultivator...Chapter 79: I'm Not Here to Accompany You! Humph!
Hao Ren didn't expect her third uncle to be here as well and was surprised. Then, he ignored him.
"Hey, kid, I’m talking to you!" Seeing Hao Ren not responding, Uncle Kuai got impatient and shouted again.
Hao Ren still ignored him, facing Zhao Yanzi instead: "Since your third uncle is here to pick you up, then forget it."
He put a raincoat into his bag and seeing the fine drizzle starting in the sky once more, he opened an umbrella and walked over to one side.
This was really... throwing a tantrum… Zhao Yanzi glared at his back figure, pouted her little mouth, thought for a few seconds, then ran up to grab Hao Ren's arm. "Why are you acting like a brat Since my third uncle is picking me up, you can go with me too!"
"I don’t want to ride in your third uncle’s car," Hao Ren lightly shook off her little hand and said.
"Damn brat! What are you saying" Uncle Kuai, who had very sharp ears, shouted from afar immediately.
"So bossy! Stinky temper!" Zhao Yanzi stomped her right foot hard. She didn’t care about Hao Ren anymore and ran back to her third uncle beside the school gate.
Actually, at that moment when she saw Hao Ren holding an umbrella standing by the school gate, a little part of her heart was touched, though she felt she didn't like this "uncle."
"Forget about him. Let's go!" Feeling Zhao Yanzi’s unhappiness, Uncle Kuai opened the car door and stuffed her in before starting the black Mercedes.
Holding an umbrella, Hao Ren walked silently on the road without caring that these cars worth a few hundred thousand or even millions were passing by his side. He was thinking about his grandmother.
Come to pick up Zhao Yanzi from school was just a spur-of-the-moment decision and he didn't really want to win her favor either, if it had to be said; rather, it could be seen as praising her hard work during this period of time.
The black Mercedes drove past Hao Ren. From inside the car, Zhao Yanzi looked out from the window at Hao Ren walking alone and suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Third Uncle, forget it. Pick him up."
“I don’t want to pick him up! What’s he worth” Uncle Kuai said proudly.
Just in a couple of sentences' time, the car drove out another dozen meters. Zhao Yanzǐ turned back to look at Hao Ren strolling slowly in the rain and suddenly said to her uncle, "Uncle Three, stop the car!"
"What's wrong Did you forget something" Zhao Kuò followed Zhao Yanzǐ's orders without hesitation and parked by the roadside.
"Uncle Three, go back home first! Take my schoolbag along too!" Zhao Yanzǐ suddenly opened the door, jumped out of the car, and said to him as she turned around.
"Azi! It's raining outside!" Uncle Kuò tried to persuade her.
"It's fine!" With legs like lotus stalks, Zhao Yanzǐ stepped on water puddles and ran back with quick steps.
Holding an umbrella and walking with his head down, Hao Ren suddenly saw a small figure dash into his sight.
He raised his eyelids to see Zhao Yanzǐ standing in front of him, slightly out of breath.
"Give me your umbrella!" Zhao Yanzǐ stretched her arm towards him.
"Hm" Hao Ren was a little taken aback.
“Give me your umbrella!” Zhao Yanzǐ shouted loudly.
Hao Ren looked at her in puzzlement and took out another umbrella from his bag.
Zhao Yanzǐ fiercely snatched the umbrella away from Hao Ren, then opened it with a snap and started walking forward with legs apart.
Hao Ren hurried to catch up with her steps.
"What’s going on Why don’t you take the car instead of walking with me" Hao Ren asked when he walked beside her.
“Who wants to walk with you! Can't I enjoy the rain scenery” Zhao Yanzǐ, wearing a pair of black leather shoes and stepping over small puddles, said with a pout.
"Azi!" Uncle Three, driving a Mercedes, rolled down his car window and came closer.
"Alright! Uncle San! You can go back first!" Zhao Yanzi waved at him.
Uncle San looked at Zhao Yanzi in confusion, sensing her impatience in her tone. He suddenly felt a bit aggrieved: "What did I do wrong"
The young girl's thoughts were becoming harder and harder to guess. Not long ago, she was full of grievances, wanting to kill this smelly brat, but now... sigh...
Seeing them walking side by side towards the distance, he let out a long sigh, pressed down on the accelerator, and drove forward.
The rain wasn't heavy; it drizzled in the sky.
The air was filled with a refreshing scent they hadn’t experienced for a long time. The coolness made one feel very comfortable.
Zhao Yanzi's black leather shoes and white socks were wet, but she still insisted on walking instead of taking the bus or hailing a taxi.
"How did your exam go" Hao Ren asked her.
"Average," Zhao Yanzi replied. She then added, "You didn’t help me cheat either."
"Of course an exam should be taken on one’s own; how could you cheat" Hao Ren said with righteous indignation.
"Hmph, I don't believe you never cheated before," Zhao Yanzi showed a disdainful expression.
Hao Ren reflected inwardly and found that his middle school exam records indeed weren’t clean either. But back then we only had crib sheets at most, peeping at our neighbors’ answers was the worst case scenario; how could you be so bold as to use text messages to ask for answers... Hao Ren argued in his heart.
"When will the results come out" Hao Ren asked again.
"So annoying. You’re not my parents," Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes at him.
I’m your tutor or, who knows, maybe I’ll be your husband... Hao Ren argued in his heart once more.
Sighing at Zhao Yanzǐ's pricky demeanor, where she wouldn't answer any questions, Hao Ren decided to walk in silence.
"You and that class monitor... haven't been up to anything recently, have you" After walking a few dozen meters, Zhao Yanzǐ suddenly asked him out of nowhere.
"Why do you ask about this" Hao Ren was somewhat puzzled.
"Just wondering," Zhao Yanzǐ pouted her little mouth again and quickened her steps by two more paces.
Does she think Xie Yujia is my girlfriend in university Hao Ren thought of this possibility but didn't voice it out, instead matching her pace.
The boy also gets jealous... Hao Ren looked at her delicate yet rigid face and thought to himself.
Their strides fluctuated between fast and slow until they unknowingly arrived back at Zhao Yanzǐ's house.
Outside on the street, Zhao Kuo’s black Mercedes was parked there. Clearly he had already been waiting ahead of time.
Zhao Yanzǐ took out her keys to open the door and immediately heard an argument between her father and third uncle inside the living room.
"What Big Brother, you want to invite those West Sea bastards as well" As the door opened, Zhao Kuo's loud voice rushed into Hao Ren’s ears.
“Keep it down, there are guests at home,” Uncle Zhao Guang warned him, “Even if we don't like them, we still have to invite them for face's sake. Whatever happens, their relations with us from East Sea used to be quite good; if Azi’s 15th birthday banquet doesn’t include them, it would mean an open break!”
"Big Brother!" Zhao Kuo tried to argue back but quickly shut his mouth when he saw that Zhao Yanzǐ and Hao Ren had returned.
"Father, Third Uncle, I'm back," Zhao Yanzǐ walked into the house and put her umbrella in a corner.
“Uncle, Third Uncle,” Hao Ren followed in and greeted them politely too.
Though he didn’t like Zhao Kuo, he didn't want to appear impolite in front of Uncle Zhao Guang.
"Where's Grandma" Hao Ren asked.hey got hold of this document. Yet for Zhen Cōng, those university courses that could cut down countless students like “Linear Algebra” and "Advanced Mathematics" were child’s play!The mastery of his...
