Chapter 172: The Thoughts of the Little Girl…

Seeing Oldman Zeng leaving with all the elders of West Ocean, Zhao Guang picked up his teacup again and took a sip.

The confrontation wasn’t easy for him either. He placed the cup back on the table, and the table broke into pieces all of a sudden. The cup fell onto the floor and broke into pieces as well.

Then, the chair Oldman Zeng was sitting on before dissembled on its own too.

“This Oldman Zeng’s Heaven-Quaking Scroll has already reached the top-level, and anyone under the mid-tier Qian-level would be either severely injured or killed by his attack,” Zhao Kuo stood up and said.

Zhao Guang stood up as well and asked Zhao Kuo as he looked at the pieces on the floor, “Were you ok from his attack?”

“I’m on a higher level than he is, and my technique is stronger than his. It’s not a problem. The old guy looks terrifying, but he is just a coward in reality. He tried his best to avoid breaking through the mid-tier Qian-level just to dodge the Heavenly Tribulation.”

Zhao Guang nodded and turned to Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi without saying anything else.

“Come on, let’s go home.”

He then turned to the elders and said, “You all had a long day today. Go back and take some rest. Premier Xia, let me take a look at the list of gifts after you are done writing it.”

“As you wish, Dragon King.” Premier Xia bowed.

Zhao Guang went out of the meeting room. Zhao Hongyu, Hao Ren, and Zhao Yanzi followed him out. All the elders bowed to them together and said, “Goodbye Dragon King!”

Zhao Hongyu asked Hao Ren to leave the white Ford in the garage here, and the four of them went back to Zhao Yanzi’s house in the Ferrari and the black Chevrolet.

Zhao Hongyu was worried that the people of West Ocean were still around to cause Hao Ren trouble. She asked him to stay the night so that they could protect him.

“Don’t worry, Hongyu. West Ocean won’t dare to do anything to Hao Ren. The situation right now is that Ren is the Fuma of East Ocean, and we will fight back with full strength if they do anything to him. Oldman Zeng knows the consequences.”

He said as he took off his jacket. He was a bit tired from entertaining all the guests today.

“It’s better to be careful no matter what. Ren should stay the night,” Zhao Hongyu insisted.

Hao Ren nodded and decided to stay to keep Zhao Yanzi company. Since his grandma and parents were not home, it would be boring to go back and stay there himself.

“I’m going upstairs then…” Zhao Yanzi rubbed her eyes, looking sleepy. Surprisingly, she didn’t object to the idea of Hao Ren staying the night this time.

Hao Ren followed her upstairs. He looked at her silk tank top and thought to himself, “Her drowsy look is actually pretty cute.”

As soon as she went back to her room, Zhao Yanzi went to the bathroom for a shower after such a long day. Unlike Hao Ren, she took a day off from school and had been welcoming the important guests since this morning. Now it was already ten o’clock, so she was about to pass out.

Hao Ren sat down at her table to check her homework as he listened to the sound of the water behind the door.

Compared with how bad it was before, Zhao Yanzi’s homework had improved a lot. However, he still spotted a few wrong answers after a brief scan.

Now that the birthday party was over, she had to focus on her studies now. Zhao Yanzi’s curtain, pillow, and bed sheet had all been changed due to the change of the season. The room appeared to be more refreshing than before.

However, the sweet scent was still the same, and it made Hao Ren feel very comfortable.

When Hao Ren finished looking at the Math, Physics, and Chemistry homework on her desk, Zhao Yanzi walked out of the bathroom in her pink pajamas.

“Hey! You didn’t give me a birthday gift this time!” She dried her hair with a little towel as she walked over.

“I just came back from my grandma’s and went straight to school to get my report card. I was too busy… So, I forgot to get you a gift,” Hao Ren answered.

“Busy, busy, busy. You just forgot!” She rolled her eyes at Hao Ren.

“I’ll make it up…” Hao Ren said softly.

“My birthday is already over, so there isn’t much making up that you can do!” she reached out her clean and smooth palm and said, “Hand over your wallet!”

Hao Ren was like a helpless lamb in front of her. He took out his wallet obediently and put it in her hand.

Zhao Yanzi opened the wallet without hesitation and took all the big notes out of it. She put them in her drawer and said grumpily with her head lifted, “I’ll let this one slide. Since there was no gift, I’ll take the cash!”

She looked exactly like a bossy girl at school. Hao Ren wondered if she had been hiding in the small alleys near the school after class to extort money from the students.

“Alright, go take a shower!” Seeing Hao Ren staring at her, she tried to get him moving again.

Hao Ren walked into the bathroom.

“Here!” she flipped out a set of men’s pajamas from her nightstand drawer and threw it at Hao Ren.

He caught it and looked at her.

Zhao Yanzi realized that something was wrong and blushed immediately. “No! It’s my mom who put it here!”

Hao Ren laughed and took the pajamas into the bathroom. Zhao Yanzi, on the other hand, flushed as she realized that her explanation was a bit farfetched.

After a nice relaxing cold shower, Hao Ren walked out of the bathroom and saw Zhao Yanzi on her computer.

“Um…” Hao Ren went over. “I’ll put the clothes I changed out of here for now.”

“Leave it, and my mom will wash it,” Zhao Yanzi said. Her eyes were still fixated on the computer screen.

“Let’s go to bed, it’s late already,” Hao Ren said. He noticed the weirdness after saying it.

Sure enough, Zhao Yanzi turned to look at him. “What are you talking about?”

“I mean, YOU should go to bed,” Hao Ren explained immediately.

“There’s no school tomorrow,” Zhao Yanzi murmured and kept on playing her game.

“Damn it!” she added.

Hao Ren was confused about what he had done to piss her off again. Then, he realized that she was playing Popodino and had just lost another game.

“Hey!” she turned to Hao Ren and said, “Aren’t you good at games? Come and help me!”

Hao Ren was speechless.

“I’ll help you win two rounds, and then you go to bed. Deal?” he asked.

“Ten! Ten rounds! Till he exits the game himself!” Zhao Yanzi shouted. It seemed like she was furious at her opponent.

“Go to sleep soon, guys.” Zhao Hongyu knocked on the door.

“I know, I know, Mom. It’s my birthday!” Zhao Yanzi yelled.

Zhao Hongyu shook her head, laughed a little, and left. This daughter of hers was too much to keep in line; she had decided to let Hao Ren deal with Zhao Yanzi in the future.

Hao Ren sat in the sofa chair in front of the computer. Zhao Yanzi was too lazy to pull out the other chair, so she just sat on the back part of the chair.

Hao Ren put his hands on the keyboard, took a deep breath, and waited for the game to start. Popodino was a game that he was really good at when he was in high school. However, he hadn’t played since he started university.

Ready, Go!

Hao Ren quickly hit the keyboard as soon as the game started. The opponent was at a skillful ‘post-doctoral-level’ player. The game took a long time, and Hao Ren almost got a cramp in his wrist. At last, his experience didn’t disappoint him, and he won the game.

He turned back and found Zhao Yanzi leaning on his back in excitement. She stared at the screen with a cheerful smile on her face.

“Um…hem!” Hao Ren coughed to remind her.

Zhao Yanzi suddenly realized that her entire body was leaning on Hao Ren’s shoulder and back. Since she was only in her pajamas, she could imagine that Hao Ren must have felt something. Suddenly, her face turned red.

“What are you looking at? Go ahead and start the second game!” she shouted out.

“What do I get if I win?” Hao Ren asked on purpose.

“Well, you can sleep here if you win!” Zhao Yanzi said absentmindedly.

Her entire focus was on the screen and didn’t even notice what she had just said.

Hao Ren sighed lightly and started the second game.

Hao Ren’s shoulder was blocking Zhao Yanzi’s view, so she sneaked in front of him.

“Here! Here! And over there! Use the tools! ” her instructing skills were obviously better than her gaming skills. She started to shout as the game got intense.

Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang heard her in their room. They glimpsed at each other speechlessly and turned the volume of the TV up.

In the end, Zhao Yanzi couldn’t help but reach out her slim arms to help Hao Ren with the tools. Her body shook slightly as she pressed onto the keyboard.

Hao Ren felt the unsettledness in front of him. His hands were controlling the keyboard, and that made his arms wrap around her perfectly.

He felt like he was holding a Teddy Bear made of cake.

Although the opponent was pretty good, there was no way that he or she could defeat the two of them. Soon, the opponent exited this gaming room after losing six games in a row.

“Hahaha…” Zhao Yanzi laughed loudly. However, she stopped immediately when she realized that it wasn’t very lady-like.

She looked at her sides and saw that Hao Ren’s arms were wrapping her. It seemed like she was cuddling in his arms.

She gritted her teeth, bent her arms, and struck behind her.

“Ah!” the unexpected elbow attack made Hao Ren feel a pain in his chest.

Zhao Yanzi calmed herself down from the game and realized that this ‘uncle’ had been taking advantage of her for a long time. She jumped off the chair, thought for a bit, and hopped into her bed.

Hao Ren was confused by her change of temper. He pulled out the sheets and blankets from under her bed and started to make his bed on the floor.

Zhao Yanzi thought that he could sleep in the empty room next door, but she didn’t mention anything.

“That…West Ocean’s Crown Prince…” Hao Ren laid down and tried to ask.

“Don’t mention him!” Zhao Yanzi shouted immediately.

Hao Ren zipped his lips as Zhao Yanzi suddenly rolled over and asked him, “Grandma is in another province?”

“Um,” Hao Ren nodded.

“Let’s go see her tomorrow?” She blinked her eyes.

“Um…alright,” Hao Ren hesitated before agreeing.

He felt like he was kidnapping this young girl…
