"Ah …" Hao Ren sighed. He knew what Grandma meant, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Grandma was old, but her eyes were sharp. She could sense that Hao Ren had been avoiding Xie Yujia in the past two days. Even when they talked, they were only polite and not intimate.
Little Carrot's family had helped Hao Ren's family when they were in trouble. Therefore, Grandma was annoyed by Hao Ren's evasive attitude.
In particular, Xie Yujia was kind and considerate, and Grandma liked nothing about her. She was even more obedient and considerate than her own granddaughter. How could Grandma bear to see her receive Hao Ren's indifference?
"Grandma …" Hao Ren wanted to explain, but Grandma didn't want to hear it and went into her room.
That weekend, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili didn't come, and Zhao Yanzi didn't call either. Hao Ren and Grandma were left alone in the house.
It showed how precious it was for Xie Yujia to come over and take care of them.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili must have been busy with their homework this week since they had to face exams as soon as they entered school. No matter how smart they were, they had to take it seriously.
Zhao Yanzi, on the other hand, was still young and couldn't fully understand the feelings of an elder. She didn't expect to call Grandma from Nanjing.
After a boring weekend, Hao Ren packed up his things and went to school on Sunday evening.
Hao Ren felt bad when he thought that Grandma would be home alone again.
"Ok, go, go. Grandma is fine at home alone. Uncle Wang will be back tomorrow," Grandma said when she saw Hao Ren's guilty expression.
Although Grandma had been cold to Hao Ren for two days because of Xie Yujia, her heart softened when she saw that her grandson was going to school.
"Ok." Hao Ren picked up his backpack and walked outside.
After walking a dozen meters, he looked back and found that his grandmother was still standing at the threshold, looking at him. His heart ached, and he suddenly walked back.
"What's wrong? Did you forget something?" Grandma asked.
"No," Hao Ren smiled, pretending to be casual. "Why don't I bring you to Zi's house? I'll send you to Zhejiang after the exam ends in two days."
"Well …" Grandma hesitated. "Call Hongyu and see if it's convenient for them."
"Yeah!" Hao Ren took out his cell phone and called her from outside.
The call was quickly picked up. Hearing that Grandma was coming to stay, Zhao Hongyu immediately expressed her welcome, which made Hao Ren a little embarrassed.
Grandma didn't want to bother Zi's family, but she still missed Zi and Zhao Hongyu.
Hao Ren found the key to Hao Zhonghua's white Ford and asked Grandma to pack some clothes. Then, he drove the car out of the garage and drove her to Zhao Yanzi's house.
Knowing that Grandma was coming to stay for two days, Zhao Hongyu's family had been waiting for her. They were all a little excited to see Grandma.
After arranging for Grandma to stay in the same room as last time, Zhao Hongyu asked Hao Ren to stay for one more night. However, Hao Ren was worried about the exam tomorrow, so he decided to go to school.
Hao Ren was relieved to see Grandma in a good mood. Then, he saw Zhao Yanzi yawning tiredly and knew that she had just come back from Nanjing and must be exhausted from the weekend.
Walking out of the house, Hao Ren thanked Zhao Hongyu again for taking care of Grandma. Of course, Zhao Hongyu didn't mind.
"Zi has been running around with us and is exhausted. She didn't take good care of you. Don't take it to heart," she explained to Hao Ren.
"It's okay. I know that's her personality." Hao Ren smiled. Zhao Yanzi was a little proud. Even if she ignored him sometimes, it didn't mean that she didn't have any thoughts.
"Don't worry and go to the exam. I plan to let Zi rest for two days before the birthday party," Zhao Hongyu said.
"Ok. Auntie, you rest well too." Hao Ren took out his keys and got into his white Ford.
Zhao Yanzi's garage could only accommodate two cars, so Hao Ren could only drive this car to school.
He drove to the south dorm and was about to park in an inconspicuous but not too remote corner when he saw Xie Yujia in a black jacket, blue jeans, and grey canvas shoes. She was walking out of the south dorm with a small backpack on her back.
He thought for a moment and stopped in front of her.
"Ugh? Why are you here? "Xie Yujia saw Hao Ren and called out in surprise. She almost thought that some rich kid blocked her way with his car. Something like this had happened before when people didn't know that her brother was Xie Wanjun. Later, her brother came in person and handled it in a low-key manner.
"Class President, where are you going at this hour?" Hao Ren asked. There had been construction around the school recently, and there were often people moving around. Hao Ren was a little worried when he saw Xie Yujia going out alone at night.
"I'm going to study at school, and the lights are off in the dorm. I'm going to study all night. Oh, my bike is broken, and I'm going to fix it after the exam, "Xie Yujia tightened her jacket and answered.
"Then … I'll go with you," Hao Ren said.
"It's okay." Xie Yujia shook her head.
"It's okay. I want to study all night anyway." Hao Ren got out of the car and opened the door for her.
Xie Yujia hesitated for a few seconds and finally got in.
It was warm in the car with soothing music playing. It was completely different from the cold wind outside.
Hao Ren got into the car again and drove away from the south dorm to Academic Building D. His study materials were in his backpack, so he didn't have to go back to the dorm.
"I didn't know … you could drive," Xie Yujia said in a low voice in the back seat.
"Don't tease me. Driving is much easier than cooking," Hao Ren said as he drove steadily on the campus road.
"If you drive to school, people will think that your family is rich," Xie Yujia said.
"No, they won't. I'm about to park the car somewhere far away and walk to the No.7 dorm building for the boys. Class President, are you worried that the snobbish girls will give me trouble because they think that my family is rich? "Hao Ren turned his head slightly and asked.
Xie Yujia pouted. "I didn't say that. Ok, focus on driving. "
"But … Class President, your family's annual income is more than 300,000 US dollars. That's the real low profile, right?" Hao Ren said.
300,000 US dollars was just a modest statement from their parents. Xie Yujia's father, Xie Ming, had expanded his business in the U.S. and had four to five factories. His income was much higher than that. However, he didn't want to upset his old classmate who was a poor researcher, so he kept the figure low.
"It's my parents' money, and they worked hard to earn it. I only ask them for 500 US dollars a month. I think I should earn it myself," Xie Yujia said without hesitation.
Hao Ren admired Xie Yujia's independent spirit and knew that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart. When he didn't know that Xie Yujia was Little Carrot, he secretly admired her for her calmness and aspiration.
When they arrived at Academic Building D, Hao Ren locked the car and walked in with Xie Yujia.
Since there were only two days left for the exams, there were fewer students studying here, and it was quieter. Hao Ren didn't plan to stay up all night studying, but he was worried about Xie Yujia staying up all night by herself. Besides, Grandma's words made him even more "responsible" for Xie Yujia.
Seeing Hao Ren following her, Xie Yujia knew what he was thinking. She didn't know if the rumors were true or not, but she had made up her mind to stay up all night studying. That was why she hid some self-defense weapons in her backpack.
Now that Hao Ren took the initiative to accompany her, she felt relieved. This sense of dependence and security couldn't be exchanged for anything.
Time ticked by, and the study room in Academic Building D was open all night. Hao Ren was studying and circulating the Spirit Concentration Scroll at the same time, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. Xie Yujia, on the other hand, couldn't stand it anymore. She laid on the desk and took a nap.
Looking at her slender arms under her white and tender cheeks, Hao Ren had never imagined that he would one day stay up all night studying with her.
The other students in the classroom were resting on their stomachs in all kinds of weird positions. If Hao Ren wasn't there, Xie Yujia wouldn't dare to sleep so soundly.
Seeing that her breathing was even, and her eyelashes were long and quivering, Hao Ren knew that she was sleeping and dreaming at the same time.
The Spirit Concentration Scroll could calm people down. Hao Ren secretly touched her fingertip with his finger and sent a trace of nature essence to her.
Sure enough, the sleepy Xie Yujia slept more soundly, and even her breathing became longer and deeper.
Looking at the thick pile of books and notes on the desk, Hao Ren knew that Xie Yujia was really hardworking. She was working so hard to make herself more outstanding and worthy of that Little Older Brother.
Now, her Little Older Brother's grades were terrible, but she was determined to study hard. No matter what she did, she was always serious, which was admirable.
"Huh? What time is it? "Xie Yujia opened her misty eyes and asked Hao Ren who was beside her.
"It's two in the morning," Hao Ren looked at his phone and said. At the same time, his face turned hot. He didn't study at all, but he stared at Xie Yujia for two hours!
"Ah, I still have two books to read!" Xie Yujia sat up immediately and rubbed her eyes. She yawned and stretched her arms.
This natural posture made Hao Ren feel that Xie Yujia had a very cute side.
"Why are you staring at me? Aren't you studying?" Xie Yujia turned to look at Hao Ren and asked while blinking her eyes.
"Oh, oh, I'm studying." Hao Ren immediately looked down and opened the book in front of him.
Time ticked by, and Hao Ren had an almost photographic memory. He finished reading the next few subjects in no time.
Of course, his understanding of the content was not as thorough as Xie Yujia's, but it shouldn't be a problem for him to pass the exams.
At four o 'clock, Xie Yujia couldn't help but take a nap again. Hao Ren was still guarding her. Xie Yujia was impressed by Hao Ren's vigor and was grateful for his careful guarding.
However, her focus was on the exams now, and she had no time to care about anything else.
Dawn came quietly, and Hao Ren quietly let go of Xie Yujia's fingertips. He injected a trace of nature essence into her body, which was more or less nourishing her body so that she could sleep well and be energetic.
"Strange. I don't feel tired at all after staying up all night." When Xie Yujia woke up again, she didn't feel any soreness in her back, and her mind was exceptionally clear.
"Thank you for staying up all night with me. I'll treat you to breakfast!" Xie Yujia said as she packed up.
She thought that she slept well because Hao Ren was by her side, but she didn't know that the four hours of nature essence that Hao Ren secretly injected into her was equivalent to eight to ten hours of cultivation for Hao Ren.
"Ok! Thank you, Class President! "Hao Ren agreed without hesitation.
They packed up and walked to the cafeteria. Hao Ren decided to leave the car at Academic Building D after all the exams were over on Tuesday. He didn't want to attract too much attention by driving back and forth these two days.
One quiet night seemed to have removed all the barriers between them. Hao Ren was busy buying all kinds of breakfast, and Xie Yujia happily paid with her campus card.
Things got tense again as they entered the exams. After the exams, Xie Yujia had to stay up all night to study, and Hao Ren stayed up with her.
Zhao Jiayi and the others couldn't believe that Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were stuck together during the exams.
In their minds, Hao Ren had found Xie Yujia as his' backer '. Everyone knew that Xie Yujia always ranked first in the grade, and Hao Ren studied with her. Not only would their relationship develop, but he also wouldn't have to worry about failing the exams.
Seeing their envious and disdainful looks, Hao Ren didn't bother to explain to them. After all, the more he tried to explain, the worse it would get.
Xie Yujia's exams were over, and Hao Ren had one more course than her that he didn't take last semester.
Xie Yujia, who was finally free from the exams, went to the west gate of the school and took a bus home.
She didn't hurry back home after getting off the bus. Like before, she went to the market to buy a delicious lunch box and went to visit the old Grandma who lived in the shanty town.
The old Grandma had been living alone for several years, and her health was neither good nor bad. According to others, she had a son, but her son rarely came to visit her.
Xie Yujia had been coming to visit her every weekend or holiday for several years.
After the exams were over, Xie Yujia's emotions were completely released. She watched the old Grandma eat the lunch box she bought and couldn't help but tell her story.
Xie Yujia didn't know if the mute Old Grandma could understand her, but she felt much better after she spoke her mind.
"Grandma, I've been in a bad mood recently, and I've said a lot. I hope you don't mind. Hehe, I'll tell you something happy next time. " After half an hour of talking, Xie Yujia stood up and squeezed the old Grandma's dry hand. She said apologetically.
The mute Grandma raised her head and looked at Xie Yujia with her cloudy eyes. She reached out and touched Xie Yujia's forehead lovingly.
"Ok, Grandma, I'm leaving now. We have two days of rest after the exams, and I'll come to see you tomorrow and the day after." Xie Yujia walked to the door and waved at her before leaving slowly.
In the dilapidated house, in the darkness, the old mute granny sat silently on the old chair.
After a long time, she suddenly let out a long sigh. "Since ancient times, love has been replaced by regret. Good dreams are the easiest to wake up from."
A dazzling five-colored godly light spiraled up from under her feet, and then she disappeared.
