Chapter 71: You Got It??

Her excitement proved that she was actually in a good mood.

However, what Hao Ren was concerned about at the moment was that somebody might call him. He wasn’t too interested in midnight snacks, so he refused politely, “Today’s lectures are fantastic. Class President, I appreciate the ticket you gave me. Regarding midnight snacks… that’s fine.”

“Good, now you admit that the lectures were excellent! How about you treat me to midnight snacks then!”

Her face was still pink; she was still immersed in the excitement.

“Em…” Hao Ren hesitated.

“What, you don’t want to? I showed you the wonder of science, but you don’t even want to thank me?’ Xie Yujia squinted her eyes.

“It’s not like that. I am just worried that if we don’t go back now, the dorm gates will be locked,” Hao Ren explained.

“The university knows many students are going to the lectures so that the dorm gates will close at eleven o’clock tonight instead,” Xie Yujia said.

Seeing Xie Yujia in the mood, Hao Ren had to agree, “Ok, I’ll get you midnight snacks. Let’s go to Hongji Square.”

After all, Xie Yujia had treated him twice already. Hao Ren decided to treat her tonight so that he could return the favor.

“Ok!” Xie Yujia got her bike, and Hao Ren rode the bike and took her to Hongji Square outside the west gate of the university.

In the balmy night, Hao Ren was riding smoothly on the quiet road on campus with Xie Yujia on the back seat. The night breeze softly blew through the leaves, and everything was so quiet and peaceful.

It reminded Hao Ren of the last time when he walked side by side with Xie Yujia for midnight snacks outside the university.

“University life would be such a failure if you don’t date during the four years…” having Xie Yujia in the backseat, the quote that had been mused by numerous senior students suddenly came across Hao Ren’s mind.

He looked back at the round hall in Academic Building E, which was still dazzlingly bright. It was also at this moment when he noticed Xie Yujia, who was sitting in the back while staring quietly at the artificial lake in front of them with a content smile on her face.

Long eyelashes, star-shining eyes, pretty features, flowy hair, and smooth figure…

“The Class President is a beautiful girl,” the thought crossed his mind.

He pretended to look at Academic Building E unintentionally, so he looked back and kept riding.

Hongji Square was as busy as usual when they arrived. The dorm would only be locked at eleven o’clock; therefore, the energetic students weren’t willing to go back that early.

“Are you hungry, Class President? I’ll buy you some Sanhuang Chicken,” while parking the bike, Hao Ren said to Xie Yujia.

Although Hao Ren didn’t invite girls out for food often, he still knew that he couldn’t send her off by just buying her a bowl of cheap hot spicy dip.

“Sure, Dexin Restaurant,” Xie Yujia rubbed her tummy and replied; she indicated that she was indeed hungry.

Hao Ren smiled and walked across the square to Dexin Restaurant with Xie Yujia.

“Ren!” all of a sudden, a familiar voice sounded from the rear corner behind him.

Hao Ren turned around and saw Zhou Liren sitting at an outdoor barbecue booth, and Zhao Jiayi’s palm had already covered his mouth.

“You guys are eating here too?” seeing the three other guys from Hao Ren’s dorm, Xie Yujia was quite surprised.

Since they met, Hao Ren had no choice but to walk over there with Xie Yujia.

“Why are you guys here?” Hao Ren asked them.

“We got bored at the dorm, so we came out for some food,” Zhao Jiayi answered while scratching his head. Zhou Liren kept his eyes averted; he was probably wondering why Zhao Jiayi didn’t allow him to yell just now.

“Ok, then we’ll eat together,” Xie Yujia said frankly. She turned to Hao Ren and suggested, “Then let’s not go to Dexin Restaurant. We can have some barbecue instead.”

Hao Ren didn’t know how to answer, but Zhao Jiayi suddenly stood up, leaving a dozen skewers of barbequed meat on his plate. “No! No! You guys go ahead! We are done now, and we are ready to go back!”

“Ah, really?” staring at the leftover skewers on the plate, Xie Yujia said doubtingly.

“For real! For real! We are planning to bring the rest to the dorm!” grabbing the skewers on the plate quickly with one hand, Zhao Jiayi twisted Zhou Liren’s ear with the other and said, “Let’s go now!”

“Ayyyy!” Zhou Liren yelled and made several glances at Hao Ren. It took him too long to realize why he shouldn’t have called Hao Ren’s name.

Cao Ronghua followed, picking up the unfinished half bottle of beer.

“You can’t drink beer in the dorm!” Xie Yujia reminded him.

Cao Ronghua put down the beer unwillingly, wiped his hand, and got the bill from the owner. Afterward, the three of them left like thieves.

“Ay…” looking at their backs, Xie Yujia sighed helplessly.

“Then….. Let’s go to Dexin Restaurant?” staring at Xie Yujia, Hao Ren asked in a quizzical tone.

He was found with Xie Yujia by Zhao Jiayi and the other guys; he didn’t know what they would think about it and how Zhou Liren, the big mouth, would spread it when he went back.

“Fine, let’s go!” Xie Yujia nodded without avoiding anything.

Dexin Restaurant was quite busy when they walked in. They sat down at a table by the wall, and Hao Ren ordered a half plate of Sanhuang Chicken, two bowls of chicken and duck blood soup, two bowls of chicken congee, and a small plate of duck gizzard. Those were regular midnight snacks.

“Has Zhao Jiayi recovered from the injury?” Xie Yujia asked after sitting down.

“Yes, he is fine now. He has tough skin, so he recovered fast. He was acting lively just now,” Hao Ren said with a smile.

“The punishment from the university was bizarre. I thought he would at least get a verbal warning,” Xie Yujia said.

“Zhao Jiayi had the same thought. Therefore, he felt so refreshed when he learned about the results. He is now in a better condition than he was before the fight,” Hao Ren said in his mind.

“It’s good that you weren’t involved this time,” Xie Yujia continued.

Hao Ren smirked. What Xie Yujia didn’t expect was that Hao Ren had put lots of effort into getting that result. Otherwise, just like she said, no matter how much partiality the university showed, as the party that started the fight, Zhao Jiayi would get a verbal warning at least.

“Speaking of which, you are great at fighting,” after thinking for a while, Xie Yujia said.

Seeing Hao Ren keeping smirking, she continued, “I didn’t know you could be that tough…and mighty.”

Hao Ren guessed that she was about to use the word “violent”, but she switched to the positive word “mighty” instead.

“You are the same, Class President. You used to be so gentle and serious about everything, but during lectures, you were so excited as if you were a teenager girl,” Hao Ren said.

“Huh, was I?” sitting straight, Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren with her shining eyes.

“Your face is still pink,” Hao Ren smiled and said.

Xie Yujia didn’t believe his words, so she put her hands on her cheeks to check. After that, her face blushed for real. She thought for a bit and tried to explain, but it only made it worse. “Fine, I made a scene today! But Academician Hao and Academician Yue are my most admired scientists; it makes sense that I got too excited when I met them in person,” she concluded.

“Yeah, it makes sense,” Hao Ren nodded helplessly.

Xie Yujia was slightly unhappy about Hao Ren’s insincerity, but she didn’t want to haggle over it. She continued asking her questions, “Do you have any problems with Huang Xujie?”

“Why did you ask that all of a sudden?” Hao Ren raised his head.

“Em, I heard that the fight occurred this time because you and Huang Xujie didn’t get along well,” Xie Yujia said seriously.

“I don’t like him, and he doesn’t like me, that’s it,” picking up a piece of Sanhuang Chicken with his chopsticks, Hao Ren said casually.

“Em… how about I be the arbitrator, and you guys can resolve this matter?” Xie Yujia said after thinking for a few seconds.

“Don’t bother, Class President; you don’t have to get involved in this. Have some chicken,” Hao Ren pushed the plate of Sanhuang Chicken towards Xie Yujia.

Xie Yujia nodded, but she was still worried about Hao Ren. However, it seemed like Hao Ren didn’t care about it, so Xie Yujia thought he probably had some people to rely on.

What happened to Huang Xujie didn’t really concern her. It was her brother, the Captain of the basketball team, that made her worry. She wasn’t sure if her brother would let go of Hao Ren because of the enormous loss the basketball team suffered.

The way the university dealt with the incident was strangely harsh on the basketball team, and nothing happened to Hao Ren and Zhao Jiayi, which seemed unfair to the basketball team. She believed her brother would be resentful about it.

As they continued to eat, they talked about all kinds of things that were happening in class. The topic went back to the lectures today as time went by. Hao Ren felt the enormous admiration Xie Yujia had for Hao Zhonghua while he thought about the hidden secrets deep in his heart. Both of them didn’t even notice that there were fewer and fewer customers in the restaurant.

“Ah, it’s already eleven thirty!” looking up at the clock on the restaurant’s wall, Xie Yujia screamed unexpectedly.
