Hao Ren pushed the door open and walked in. Zhao Yanzi was already in her favorite pink pajamas. Her two ponytails were loosened, and her shiny black hair covered her little face.
She was sitting in front of the desk, doing her homework.
"Um! Um! "Hao Ren made a sound through his nose.
Zhao Yanzi ignored Hao Ren and looked down at her workbook. She pouted slightly and calculated the questions with a ballpoint pen in her right hand.
Hao Ren walked over quietly, pulled a chair over, and sat next to her.
Zhao Yanzi paused and thought for a few seconds before moving on to the next question.
The curriculum in Grade Nine was quite intense, and the most effective way to deal with the high school entrance exam was to use a sea of questions. This weekend, all the teachers had assigned mock exam papers. Zhao Yanzi didn't want to copy from Little Ling anymore and decided to do the questions herself.
Hao Ren smiled helplessly when he saw how serious and sullen she was. He supported his head with his right hand and watched Zhao Yanzi work on the questions.
Zhao Yanzi's eyelashes were long, and her black eyes were like two black gems. Her clear eyes could even reflect the questions on the exam paper.
Biting the end of the pen was her habit when she was faced with difficult questions. Her white teeth were like little pearls. Her pink lips curled up as she bit the pen, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. "It's fun."
Hao Ren didn't disturb her and watched her slowly immerse herself in the exam paper.
Zhao Yanzi ignored Hao Ren's stare and continued to do the questions. She was sullen, thinking, "Xie Yujia is good at everything, and even her grades are close to full marks. Do you really think I can't beat her?"
Zhao Yanzi didn't know that Xie Yujia was also envious of Zhao Yanzi's cultivation speed and wanted to catch up with Zhao Yanzi's realm.
"Zi! Dinner time! "Zhao Hongyu shouted from downstairs.
"Oh! Coming! "Zhao Yanzi threw the ballpoint pen away and ran to the stairs.
She completely ignored Hao Ren and expressed her dissatisfaction. Zhao Hongyu favored Xie Yujia, and even Hao Ren missed Xie Yujia.
"Ren, dinner time!" Zhao Hongyu shouted again when she saw only Zhao Yanzi running out.
"Ok …" Hao Ren walked out and saw that Zhao Yanzi was already downstairs and sitting at the dining table.
Zhao Guang, who was sitting on the living room sofa, put down the newspaper in his hand and walked to the dining table.
"Uncle," Hao Ren called out.
"Well, how was school?" Zhao Guang asked.
"Not bad. How was your trip to Yuhuang Mountain?" Hao Ren asked.
Zhao Yanzi snorted lightly when she saw Hao Ren talking to her parents.
"It went well. With Ciyun Dragon King leading the way, we went to a dozen dragon palaces in the southwest," Zhao Guang said.
These few days of visits were very important to the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Xie Yujia's elixir pills had changed the situation for the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
Zhao Guang told Hao Ren all this because he regarded Hao Ren as a core member of East Ocean and wanted him to know the important news about the Dragon Palace.
Zhao Hongyu nodded slightly. In fact, she wanted to thank Xie Yujia by inviting her to her home for dinner. No matter what, Xie Yujia wasn't a cultivator of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, but she had helped East Ocean indirectly.
"Zi, be more friendly with Xie Yujia in the future," Zhao Guang said when he saw Zhao Yanzi pouting.
"Ok!" Zhao Yanzi answered reluctantly.
"Let's eat and talk," Zhao Hongyu said when she saw Zhao Guang and Hao Ren chatting happily.
"Ok, let's eat!" Zhao Guang said excitedly.
When he went to the southwest dragon palaces for an exchange, the elders of the dragon palaces all praised Hao Ren. This made Zhao Guang very proud. Now that he saw Hao Ren again, he was in a good mood.
"Dad … Can you help me with something?" Zhao Yanzi suddenly interrupted when the dinner was about to end.
"What is it?" Zhao Guang's face turned cold when he heard Zhao Yanzi's words.
This daughter was disobedient and immature. In comparison, Zhao Guang seemed to like Hao Ren more.
Zhao Yanzi sensed the change in Zhao Guang's attitude, so she bit her lip and said, "Hao Ren got a punishment from the school. Can you help him get rid of it?"
"Oh? Really? "Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren in surprise.
East Ocean University was under Lu Qing's control. With Hao Ren's personality, he wouldn't get into trouble.
"It's ok, Uncle!" Hao Ren didn't expect Zhao Yanzi to help him, so he shook his head and said.
Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren and knew that he wouldn't bring up the punishment.
She took advantage of the atmosphere and brought up this issue, hoping that Zhao Guang could help her. She gloated in front of East Ocean University's bulletin board, but deep down, she didn't want to see Hao Ren get punished.
"Dad! Please help him! He got the punishment because a few hooligans came to the school gate to harass me, and he helped me beat them up … "Zhao Yanzi explained.
She was ignoring Hao Ren a moment ago, but she became anxious when she talked about this matter. She was afraid that Zhao Guang wouldn't want to help.
"You are really a troublemaker!" Zhao Guang looked at Zhao Yanzi with dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Zhao Yanzi was right about Hao Ren, Zhao Guang immediately thought that it was Zhao Yanzi's fault that got Hao Ren into trouble.
Zhao Yanzi felt wronged, but she tolerated it. It was worth it to be scolded by her dad and get Hao Ren removed from the punishment.
In fact, she knew that Hao Ren had done a lot for her, and she was touched. However, she didn't feel comfortable seeing Hao Ren and Xie Yujia together.
"It seems like Ren isn't responsible for this matter. Is Lu Qing too busy with the dragon palace to care about what's going on at school? Why don't you call the Principal? "Zhao Hongyu said.
If Zhao Yanzi didn't bring it up, she wouldn't have thought that Hao Ren would get a serious punishment of probation.
"Yes, Dad, you should make a phone call! East Ocean University is our sponsor, right? Call him and get rid of the punishment for Hao Ren! "Zhao Yanzi tried to persuade her dad.
Her eyes were watery, and she pleaded innocently.
"It's all your fault! I can call him, but you have to copy the first 100 chapters of Guwen Guanzhi! "Zhao Guang scolded her severely.
"Ok …" Zhao Yanzi didn't resist and nodded in agreement.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhao Yanzi in surprise. It was the first time that she saw her daughter willingly get punished for someone else.
It would take at least half a night to copy 100 chapters of Guwen Guanzhi.
Hao Ren didn't expect that Zhao Yanzi would take the blame for him. He was surprised and immediately said, "Uncle, it's not like that! I fought with my classmates in the cafeteria, and it has nothing to do with Zi … "
Zhao Yanzi widened her eyes and looked at Hao Ren in confusion when he tried to put the blame on her.
Zhao Guang smiled when he saw them trying to take the blame and cover up for each other.
"My daughter has grown up. In the past, Zhao Yanzi wouldn't admit her mistake even if she lost her most important dragon core.
But now, she was willing to spend the whole night copying Guwen Guanzhi in order to get rid of the punishment for Hao Ren …
Seeing Zhao Guang's smile, Zhao Yanzi thought that the situation had turned for the better. She thought that even her dad would show mercy. However, Zhao Guang said, "That's it then. Zi will copy 100 chapters of Guwen Guanzhi. I'll call the Principal after dinner and ask about the situation."
He looked at Zhao Yanzi and asked, "Zi, is that okay?"
"No problem …" Zhao Yanzi shook her head.
She knew that probation was a serious punishment. If she could get rid of it, she wouldn't mind staying up all night copying Guwen Guanzhi. Of course, it would be better if she could get rid of the punishment.
"Uncle, about that …" Hao Ren wanted to explain, but Zhao Guang waved his hand and said, "Ok, I don't have to get rid of it for you. I just want to ask about it."
Zhao Hongyu winked at him, and he had to shut his mouth.
Zhao Yanzi had already been punished for Hao Ren's sake, and it would be a waste of Zhao Yanzi's sincerity if Hao Ren said anything more.
"Copy all 100 chapters in regular script. Don't scribble them, and don't ask Ren for help. I'll read them one by one. "Zhao Guang glanced at Zhao Yanzi and walked to the small study room.
Zhao Yanzi pouted and looked at Hao Ren again. Then, she ate the last two mouthfuls of rice and walked to the second floor.
"Zi's dad is punishing her. It might not be about this incident," Zhao Hongyu looked at Hao Ren and said with a smile.
"Ok …" Hao Ren nodded and was about to go upstairs when Zhao Hongyu said, "In fact, Zi cares about you a lot."
Hao Ren thought for a moment and remembered Zhao Yanzi's serious expression when she put the band-aid on his palm. He couldn't help but smile.
"Zi has a temper, but she's not a bad person," Hao Ren said.
"It's good that you know." Zhao Hongyu nodded gently.
"Then … Should I go up and keep her company?" Hao Ren asked Zhao Hongyu.
"Go ahead!" Zhao Hongyu smiled.
Hao Ren smiled cheerfully and ran to the stairs. In a few steps, he arrived at the second floor and entered Zhao Yanzi's room.
"Ok, aren't you going back after our dinner?" Zhao Yanzi's harsh words came out immediately when she saw Hao Ren coming in.
Hao Ren rubbed his nose and walked over awkwardly. He didn't expect Zhao Yanzi to want to revoke his punishment, and he thought she was gloating over his misfortune.
Zhao Yanzi blushed when she saw Hao Ren walking over shamelessly. Then, she picked up the ballpoint pen on the desk and continued to work on the math test.
After finishing the math and English test papers, she was going to copy the ancient Chinese script and submit it to Zhao Guang the next morning.
Zhao Guang said that he was just asking, but Zhao Yanzi knew that her dad could definitely revoke Hao Ren's punishment.
"Aren't you going back?" Zhao Yanzi couldn't help but ask when she saw Hao Ren standing there without sitting down or leaving.
"It's still early. I'll go back later," Hao Ren answered. Then, he added, "I'll stay with you for a while."
Hao Ren was surprised that Zhao Yanzi was willing to accept the punishment in exchange for Hao Ren revoking the punishment. In fact, the punishment had nothing to do with her.
Probation was a more serious punishment, and the school wanted to make it more reasonable. That was why they involved the fight outside of school.
Zhao Yanzi was smart enough to know that the punishment had nothing to do with her. However, she still wanted Zhao Guang to help her, so she took the blame.
Zhao Yanzi turned to look at Hao Ren. For some reason, she felt warm in her heart when she heard Hao Ren's simple "I'll stay with you for a while."
If it were before, she would have wanted Hao Ren to leave as soon as possible and be alone in the room. But now, although she said that, she still hoped that Hao Ren could stay with her.
"You can check on me when I'm done," Zhao Yanzi looked back at the test papers and said softly.
"Oh, ok." Hao Ren looked at the time. It was still early, so he sat down on the chair beside Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi stared at the test papers. Her black hair slid from the back of her ears to the front, revealing her white neck in her pajamas.
From her serious expression, it could be seen that she really had the attitude of studying hard since she entered the third year of middle school.
As time ticked by, Zhao Yanzi's white arm that was sticking out of her short-sleeved pajamas moved slowly on the exam paper.
"I didn't call Xie Yujia today because …" Zhao Yanzi paused for a while before continuing, "Because … she likes you."
Hao Ren looked at her in confusion. He was surprised by her sudden heartfelt words.
Seeing her angry face, Hao Ren couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Yanzi glared at Hao Ren fiercely.
"Are you done with the test papers?" Hao Ren asked her.
"Yes!" Zhao Yanzi pushed the test papers to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren picked up the pencil and checked Zhao Yanzi's questions. When Zhao Yanzi was doing the questions, he had looked at them, so he had a general idea of whether they were correct or not.
Zhao Yanzi leaned over to see Hao Ren's corrections. Her back leaned against Hao Ren's chest.
"This question isn't right. This is the third power, not the square …"
"And here, it's an old problem. Remove the absolute value. Don't be so casual …"
Zhao Yanzi's room was air-conditioned, and the temperature was low. In her thin pajamas, she curled up in Hao Ren's arms and listened to Hao Ren's detailed explanations.
Hao Ren used to do a lot of test papers, and Grade Nine was the most profound. That was why he explained them carefully and patiently.
In Hao Ren's arms, Zhao Yanzi felt a sense of fullness in her heart, and she thought Hao Ren's voice was very pleasant when he explained the questions.
"Do you understand?" Hao Ren asked her suddenly.
Zhao Yanzi turned around and looked at Hao Ren with her face slightly raised.
Hao Ren looked at her, and his heart raced.
Zhao Yanzi straightened up slightly and bit Hao Ren's lips gently and slowly.
Hao Ren's heart raced, and his hands on the desk became stiff.
In the quiet room, the air-conditioning hissed, and the sound of their lips touching could be heard clearly. Zhao Yanzi's shoulder leaned against Hao Ren's chest, and she turned her body sideways, looking a little seductive.
Hao Ren felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He touched her little mouth cautiously, and his mind that was filled with all kinds of mathematical theorems was now blank.
Zhao Yanzi's little tongue touched Hao Ren's lips tentatively, and Hao Ren kissed it gently and bit the tip of her little tongue.
His stiff hands carefully held her slim waist, but he still felt the softness of Zhao Yanzi in his arms.
"Ok." Zhao Yanzi slowly withdrew her lips. Her face was red, and the corner of her mouth was a little wet.
Hao Ren looked at her closely and lowered his head to kiss the corner of her mouth.
Zhao Yanzi's heart raced, but this was her limit. She shrugged her shoulders and gently broke free from Hao Ren's arms. Then, she looked at the test paper with a panicked expression. "Oh … I got six questions wrong …"
Hao Ren put his arm around her waist and let out a long sigh. He placed his hand on her belly, and he could make her lean back into his arms with a little force.
Hao Ren was just thinking about not going too far when Zhao Yanzi pouted and said, "It's late. You should go back."
