"You're back?" Hao Zhonghua who was reading a report in the living room immediately came out.
An SUV was parked in front of the house, and Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Yanzi were standing outside.
Xie Yujia was pulling a big suitcase, and she was wearing a colorful checkered sleeveless shirt with a smile on her face.
"Hehe, Zhao Guang asked Mingri Group to book Yujia's plane ticket. I was free today, so I went to pick her up," Zhao Hongyu said.
"How could I trouble you? I told Yujia to call me when the flight is confirmed," Hao Zhonghua said enthusiastically.
Hao Ren and the Lu sisters walked over from the backyard and stood at the door.
Zhao Yanzi was about to greet Hao Ren when she saw him looking at Xie Yujia. She pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.
"Yujia is half my daughter, and it's my duty to pick her up." Zhao Hongyu smiled. "Yue Yang isn't home?"
"She's at the Weather Bureau. I took the day off to pick Yujia up, but you brought her here," Hao Zhonghua said as he led Zhao Hongyu into the house.
Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren while dragging her suitcase. Their eyes met, and they smiled at each other. They had seen each other on Fifth Heaven, but it was different now that Xie Yujia was back.
"Humph!" Seeing their eye contact, Zhao Yanzi clenched her fists and walked into the house.
"Big Zhumu!" The Lu sisters yelled and rushed to help Xie Yujia carry her suitcase into the house before Hao Ren did.
The Big Zhumu and the Little Zhumu didn't get along with each other, and the Lu sisters remained neutral and didn't want to offend either of them.
"Zhao Guang and I are going to Yuhuang Mountain for a business trip, and it will take a few days. Is it okay for her to stay with you?" Zhao Hongyu said.
"Hehe, Yue Yang always said that we are a family. No problem. Leave Zi to us!" Hao Zhonghua agreed without hesitation.
He wanted Xie Yujia to be his daughter-in-law, but he also liked Zhao Yanzi. The relationship between the Hao Family and the Zhao Family was like the relationship between the Xie Family and the Hao Family more than ten years ago.
"Do you welcome me to stay for dinner?" Zhao Hongyu asked.
"Welcome, of course you're welcome!" Hao Zhonghua laughed.
Yue Yang and Zhao Hongyu were best friends, and their relationship was extremely good. However, Yue Yang and Zhao Hongyu were still a little distant, so when Zhao Hongyu made a joke, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
"But … Ren is going to school tomorrow," Hao Zhonghua added.
Back in the day, he was a popular figure at East Ocean University. Although he never pursued girls, there were many girls who pursued him. Therefore, he knew a little about girls.
"Ah?" Sure enough, Zhao Yanzi looked surprised.
"It doesn't matter. Ren is at school, and Zi is staying here. There are only a few days left before school starts anyway. Zhao Guang and I will be back soon," Zhao Hongyu said.
Hao Ren looked at Zhao Yanzi and couldn't help but laugh. "You want to bully me? No chance. I'm going to school tomorrow."
"Mom!" Zhao Yanzi bit her lip and thought for a few seconds. Suddenly, she yelled, "I'm going to boarding this year!"
LingZhao Middle School was a semi-boarding school, so students who lived far away from the school could stay in the dorms. The school encouraged students to board in order to cultivate their ability to live independently and to make it easier for management.
Zhao Yanzi's home was in East Ocean City, and it was not far from the school. That was why she didn't board. Although LingZhao Middle School had moved, it was still in the same school district, and it was only four or five more stops away from her home.
Zhao Yanzi's sudden request for boarding was obvious.
"Have you thought it through?" Zhao Hongyu asked her.
Zhao Yanzi was one of the few students who didn't live in the class. The Class Advisor had asked Zhao Yanzi if she wanted to join the boarding life in the class. However, Zhao Yanzi didn't want to leave her parents' care, so she chose to live there.
Boarding meant that she couldn't play and eat whenever she wanted, and she couldn't go home whenever she wanted. It meant that she had to clean the dorm and organize the bookshelves by herself …
"Yes!" Zhao Yanzi said with gritted teeth.
Since they were both boarding, she had to supervise them from a close distance to prevent them from getting too close.
"If you want to board, you have to report to school tomorrow. Then you can go to school with Ren. "Zhao Hongyu didn't reject Zhao Yanzi's idea and went with the flow.
Zhao Yanzi needed to practice her ability to live independently. Besides, her new campus was right next to East Ocean University. If anything happened, Hao Ren would be able to help.
Students in boarding schools had to come to school early to change dorms and clean up. If Zhao Yanzi lived in school, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang wouldn't have to take care of her.
"Ok. I'll ask Uncle Hao to drive you to school tomorrow and take care of your boarding procedures," Zhao Hongyu said.
Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth and looked at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia angrily. "Ok!"
"No problem. I'll take care of it tomorrow," Hao Zhonghua agreed without hesitation.
It was a piece of cake for Hao Zhonghua. With Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang's relationship, it would be easy for them to switch to boarding school midway, let alone before school started.
However, Xie Yujia didn't understand why Zhao Yanzi suddenly wanted to board. Moreover, she was gritting her teeth at Xie Yujia.
She didn't know that Zhao Yanzi was determined to fight with her until the end. LingZhao Middle School was right across from East Ocean University, right next to their dorm.
In the evening, Yue Yang came back and was pleasantly surprised to see Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Yanzi. After a lively dinner, Zhao Hongyu went back to prepare for the trip to Yuhuang Mountain with Zhao Guang the next day. Meanwhile, Zhao Yanzi stayed at Hao Ren's home.
Xie Yujia had a good night's sleep after the long-distance flight. Zhao Yanzi was restless, and she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
The next day, Hao Zhonghua drove the five of them to school and took Zhao Yanzi to take care of the boarding procedures.
Xie Yujia wasn't as well-informed as the guys, so she didn't know that the Middle School Department of LingZhao Middle School had moved to the opposite side of East Ocean University. Now that she saw the completed building with the sign 'LingZhao Middle School', she understood why Zhao Yanzi wanted to board there.
She graduated from LingZhao Middle School and was Zhao Yanzi's senior. Therefore, she felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the words' LingZhao Middle School '.
"Ren, help me with the procedures!" Hao Zhonghua shouted.
"Got it!" Hao Ren saw Zhao Yanzi looking at him with a sad expression and knew that he couldn't get away with it.
However, he didn't mean to refuse Zhao Yanzi's help, but it seemed like Zhao Yanzi didn't like him.
"Gongzi, we are going to the dorms. Call us if you need anything!" Lu Linlin waved her colorful phone and said.
This summer, Yue Yang bought them each a new phone, which made them very happy. They were getting more and more used to the colorful life in the mortal world, and they didn't want to go back at all.
"I'm going to tidy up my dorm as well. Call me if you need anything," Xie Yujia said to Hao Ren gently before walking toward the dorms in the south.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Yanzi raised her eyebrows fiercely when she saw Hao Ren's gaze on Xie Yujia's back. She pulled Hao Ren's arm hard and made him turn around.
She used to let Hao Ren be, but he and Xie Yujia got along so fast … Well, she didn't seem to like Hao Ren before …
In the brand new LingZhao Middle School, all the buildings were new. The white and simple architectural style looked a bit like East Ocean University. No wonder everyone thought it was the affiliated high school of East Ocean University.
Just like moving to a new place brought a new feeling, changing schools was the same. It was Zhao Yanzi's first time in the new campus, and she was full of curiosity. She looked around with her big eyes and began to imagine her new life.
"Grade Nine … I won't have much time to play in the new campus …" As an experienced person, Hao Ren secretly discouraged Zhao Yanzi in his mind.
Today was the first day for boarding students to report to the new campus. There were many fancy cars parked in front of the school, and many parents were there to take their kids to school and check in.
Hao Zhonghua and Hao Ren came with Zhao Yanzi, and they looked like parents and older brothers accompanying their students.
Now that Zhao Yanzi was in Grade Nine, there were new Grade Nine students taking her place. These young and pretty girls couldn't help but look at Zhao Yanzi. Then, they quickly locked their gazes on Hao Ren who was standing beside her.
Hao Ren was wearing a simple light-colored mid-length pants and a checkered shirt, and his hair was simply combed. However, this style seemed to be very popular among the girls.
Especially Hao Ren's slightly tanned skin and well-proportioned but not strong body, it seemed to bring out one word: handsome.
"Hey!" Seeing the girls staring at Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi who was walking beside Hao Ren immediately yelled in dissatisfaction, "Hao Ren! Don't come to my school too often! "
Hao Ren felt wronged. "I didn't do anything …" he thought.
Zhao Yanzi glanced at the girls again and said fiercely, "What are you looking at?"
Those girls were all Grade Nine students, and they were all suppressed by Zhao Yanzi's aura and looked away.
Zhao Yanzi raised her head proudly and pulled Hao Ren into the dorm building. Her meaning was clear. "No matter who it is, this handsome guy is mine! Don't even think about it!"
Now that the Middle School Department was independent from the High School Department, Grade Nine was the most powerful. Zhao Yanzi even wanted to compete with Xie Yujia, so how could these girls have any ideas about Hao Ren?
In the dorm building, registration was being done at the window on the first floor. This brand-new academic building was bigger and more spacious than LingZhao Middle School's dorm building, and it looked more comfortable.
"That's Hao Ren, right?"
"Zhao Yanzi is also living on campus?"
"She's so brave to have her boyfriend come with her to register."
"Who's their adult? He looks handsome too."
"I don't know. I think I've seen him somewhere before …"
"Hey, did you hear? Their Class Advisor of Class Two went home for a visit, and Zhao Yanzi's parents said that Hao Ren is Zhao Yanzi's fiancé. The Class Advisor was so mad that she almost spat out blood."
"It can't be true. We were all talking about it during the holidays …"
"This guy is Hao Ren's dad, right? If he's not her fiancé, he should be a relative."
"That's possible. There are too many guys chasing after Zhao Yanzi in and out of school. It's possible that she got her cousin to pretend to be her fiancé …"
"Actually, he looks quite handsome. If he is Zhao Yanzi's cousin, I'll go after him …"
"Come on, it's you!"
"Haha, be careful not to let Zhao Yanzi hear you!"
Some girls in the front of the line looked back and saw Hao Zhonghua, Zhao Yanzi, and Hao Ren.
Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth and pretended that she didn't hear them. She didn't expect that Hao Ren, whom she looked down on before, would become a hot commodity now.
However, she wouldn't show any mercy to any of these girls who dared to hit on Hao Ren.
The registration process was fast, and it wasn't long before it was Hao Zhonghua's turn.
Zhao Yanzi showed her student ID and signed the terms and conditions. Hao Zhonghua paid the boarding fee and got the dorm number 406 according to the class division.
The dorm building was next to the wall of LingZhao Middle School, and it was only one wall away from the south side of East Ocean University.
Hao Zhonghua and Hao Ren accompanied Zhao Yanzi upstairs and found the dorm room number. This newly built dorm building was indeed spacious and clean; it was even better than Hao Ren's dorm in university.
However, the dorms in middle school were relatively tighter, and Hao Ren wasn't sure if Zhao Yanzi could get used to living here.
There were four beds in Room 406, which corresponded to four writing desks and four wardrobes. The layout was similar to Hao Ren's dorm room, but it had its own bathroom.
"Gu Yan! Liu Qiqi! Ling! "Zhao Yanzi saw her classmates as soon as she entered the dorm.
"Zi!" They were all pleasantly surprised to see Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi had the best relationship with Ling in the class, but she also had a good relationship with the other girls. The classmates were all happy to see each other again after two months.
"Why did you choose to live here too?" Ling pulled Zhao Yanzi's hand and asked in surprise.
"It's a long story …" Zhao Yanzi shook her head and whispered into Ling's ear, "I heard that your relationship with Liu Yuntao was exposed?"
"Shh! Don't say it!" Ling immediately covered Zhao Yanzi's mouth.
Zhao Yanzi immediately shut up. "Ok, I won't say it!"
She was good friends with Ling, and she immediately understood why Ling chose to live here in her last year.
Ling was afraid that her parents would ask about her puppy love, so she didn't want to talk about it. Zhao Yanzi thought about her parents and Hao Ren's parents and suddenly felt very happy.
Hao Ren couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhao Yanzi and Ling chatting furtively. No matter how mature Zhao Yanzi pretended to be, she was still a little girl in front of her classmates.
When the parents of Ling and the other two students saw Hao Zhonghua, they all wondered if he was the great scientist who often appeared in the news.
However, the students in Class 2 of the Ordinary Class all came from ordinary families, and they couldn't have such powerful relatives. The parents immediately denied their guesses.
"Zi, it seems like there is no big problem. Everything is here. If you need anything, ask Ren to buy it for you," Hao Zhonghua looked around the dorm and said to Zhao Yanzi with confidence.
"Ok. Thank you, Uncle!" Zhao Yanzi smiled like a happy kitten and said happily.
Hao Ren's dad still loved her a lot, and what she wanted was Hao Ren's dad's words, which were equivalent to an imperial sword!
As long as LingZhao Middle School was on the opposite side of East Ocean University, she would be able to torture Hao Ren at any time!
"Hahahaha …" Zhao Yanzi laughed hysterically in her mind.
