"Ah Ren, don't tell me you really have a girlfriend" Cao Ronghua said as he saw Hao Ren sending text messages non-stop on his phone.

"No, I'm just texting with friends." Hao Ren put away his phone.

Seated beside Cao Ronghua was Zhao Jiayin who instinctively glanced at the back view of Xie Yujia in front. Seeing that she was diligently taking notes and her phone had never lit up, he knew Hao Ren wasn't texting with Xie Yujia.

Unless it's Xie Yujia, does Hao Ren have another girlfriend Last night, he didn't come back at all; could it really not be about Xie Yujia In school, the four of us roommates usually hang out together. Who else would Hao Ren interact with among girls

Zhao Jiayin felt puzzled. When he saw a hint of a smile on Hao Ren's lips as he checked his messages earlier, he knew for sure it wasn't a text from a guy.

Could it be... Zhao Jiayin didn't think about the direction of Hao Ren giving tutoring lessons in the evening but rather another person: Su Han.

Might Hao Ren really have such guts Everyone thought Hao Ren pursuing Su Han was just nonsense, and no one would actually believe that Su Han could become Hao Ren's girlfriend, right

Ding ding ding... The bell rang for the end of class.

"Let’s go eat!" Zhou Liren called out.

It was drizzling outside and none of them had an umbrella. However, "guys don't use umbrellas" was their dorm motto, so the four of them marched in formation to the dining hall.

Situated between Teaching Building E and Administrative Building F, the Yixin canteen is renowned for its affordability and quality. However, due to its location and price, it gets extremely crowded during lunchtime; arriving late means a long wait in line.

Zhao Jiayin and his three companions rushed into the canteen under the rain, only to find that the queue was already very long.

"Ah..." Zhou Liren suddenly tapped Hao Ren's arm and pointed towards the entrance of the canteen with his lips.

They saw Xie Yujia, who had been drenched halfway through her body, shaking off water from herself as she walked into the canteen. It seemed that she hadn't expected it to rain today and didn't bring an umbrella with her. Her white shirt, when wet, became somewhat transparent, revealing hints of her skin underneath.

"Class President!" Hao Ren waved at her.

Xie Yujia noticed Hao Ren, nodded in response, wringing out the water from her hair as she walked over.

"How naughty..." Zhou Liren muttered softly.

He thought that Hao Ren had called Xie Yujia over to get a closer look at her soaked and translucent shirt. Unexpectedly, when Xie Yujia approached him, Hao Ren quickly undid his dark coat and draped it around her shoulders.

Xie Yujia was taken aback for a moment but felt touched as the coat was placed over her body.

Zhao Jiayin observed this scene with admiration: This rascal, Hao Ren, truly knows how to handle situations!

"Your clothes are already wet; others can see inside your shirt," Hao Ren explained.

Xie Yujia nodded, feeling even more touched. She had planned to just continue after lunch and change her clothes as well as get an umbrella later, but she hadn't expected...

Hao Ren, having taken off his coat, was left in a thin white vest alone, rather exposed with his wet body, looking somewhat incongruous.

Fortunately, the weather wasn't cold that day despite the rain; it remained warm enough. Therefore, Hao Ren standing there in such attire was somewhat inappropriate but wouldn't risk catching a cold.

"班長,你就站在這裡吧。”暗中讚歎郝仁手段高明的趙嘉胤殷勤地對謝雨嘉說道。

“算了，不要插隊了，我跟馬麗娜一起過來的，我跟她去另外一邊排隊吧！”謝雨嘉說著，走向站在不遠處的馬麗娜。

走了幾步，她忽然又回過頭，“郝仁，謝謝你！衣服我星期一再還給你！”

郝仁大方地擺了擺手，“冇事的，你就穿著吧，就是好幾天冇洗，有點臟！”

謝雨嘉無奈地笑了笑，低頭聞了聞衣服上的味道，然後走向馬麗娜。

“小子！有一手啊！”看到謝雨嘉走遠，周立人拍了一下郝仁的肩膀說道。

“什麼叫有一手，你看班長都淋成那樣了，借她一件衣服又怎麼了。”郝仁嘟囔著說。

“你覺得謝雨嘉對你有意思吧？”周立人氣勢洶洶地問。

“你們彆亂說了，上次就是因為你們搞得我很尷尬。”郝仁瞥了他一眼。

“以我豐富的經驗來看，謝雨嘉肯定對你有意思。”趙嘉胤忽然插了一句。

“豐富個屁，你也不是單身。”郝仁說。

聽到這話，趙嘉胤不高興了，拍著胸脯，“誰說我冇有經驗，我初中那會兒……”

曹榮華、郝仁和周立人急忙捂住耳朵搖頭，他們不想再聽趙嘉胤講他光輝的曆史。

吃完午飯後，郝仁回去換了一套衣服，下午跟著趙嘉胤他們上《機械製圖》的小課。這四個同學選了同一門課程，而謝雨嘉冇有選這門課，因此不會遇到他們，當然也就不能把外套還給郝仁。

After two hours of class, their courses for the week were over. On Friday afternoons, a must-do activity was to go to internet cafes to play games; however, this time, Hao Ren did not participate and directly said he wanted to head home.

The group knew that Hao Ren's grandmother had fainted recently but had just recovered. They thought Hao Ren was in a hurry to visit his grandmother, so they didn't stop him.

After bidding farewell to them, Hao Ren stuffed two umbrellas into his bag and took the bus to Lingzhao High School where Zhao Yanzǐ attends.

It was already close to 2 PM; there were still about ten minutes before the last exam of mid-term exams ended.

The school grounds outside were filled with various luxury cars, including Audis, BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes, and Bentleys, making it seem like a small car exhibition.

Lingzhao High School was the best middle school in Donghai City, offering both junior high and senior high programs. Students could directly move to the senior high program upon graduation from junior high. Therefore, not only were the most outstanding and intelligent students from Donghai City here, but also a batch of children from the wealthiest and most influential families in the region.

And there didn't seem to be anyone like Hao Ren who came with just two umbrellas to pick someone up.

A pleasant melody sounded throughout the campus.

The parents waiting for their children to finish school began to emerge from their luxurious cars, looking eagerly forward. In fact, even on regular Fridays near dismissal time, this place would be crowded with vehicles because Lingzhao High School was a semi-residential middle school, and many students could only go home during the weekends.

A large group of energetic junior high school students in sky-blue uniforms surged towards the entrance like blue waves.

The parents called out their children's names one by one, picking up their kids to put them into cars. Hao Ren also moved closer and looked around for Zhao Yanzǐ’s figure.

“Uncle, why did you come” Hao Ren couldn't find Zhao Yanzǐ in the "waves," but Zhao Yanzǐ appeared before him just like last time.

"Uh... I came to pick you up." Hao Ren said as he felt the two folding umbrellas in his hand.

“When did Amethyst get it into her head that you should be picking her up” a stern voice sounded beside them. into Xiaobai's body through Hao Ren’s fingers."Don’t move, Xiaobai!" Sensing Xiaobai’s restlessness, Hao Ren said.Xiaobai was Hao Ren’s spirit beast and understood his meaning. He then lay down with...
