Urban God-level Youth

Chapter 28: Chapters 30-31 Chen Shuna's Curiosity

Du Wanrou couldn't help but laugh when she heard his words, "Why don't you say it was a perfect score of 750 then."

Qin Hao knew she didn't believe him because he hardly believed it himself, but he had checked twice and the score was still the same.

Scoring 710 was something he had never dared to dream of before.

Suddenly, Du Wanrou asked, "Do you know Xia Qing?"

Qin Hao's expression changed slightly, "Yes, some students from the third middle school were bullying her a few days ago, and I helped her out."

Du Wanrou looked at him with a smiling face, "Isn't this the legendary hero saving the beauty? According to the plot, shouldn't the beauty offer herself to the hero in return?"

For some reason, Qin Hao felt a chill when he saw the smile on her face, "We're just ordinary friends."

Du Wanrou: "Ordinary friends? There are quite a few people in school who have seen you two going to and from school together, others might think you're a couple."

By then, if Qin Hao still couldn't hear the implication, he was really foolish.

Du Wanrou had obviously seen him with Xia Qing going to and leaving school; she was jealous.

Qin Hao felt a thrill in his heart. Could this mean that Du Wanrou also had feelings for me? Was she gradually accepting me?

Thinking this, he became excited and hurriedly explained, "Class leader, don't misunderstand, we live in the same neighborhood, and we just happen to go the same way to and from school."

Du Wanrou was not very satisfied with his explanation and responded with a soft "Oh" while looking at the study materials.

Qin Hao didn't know if she was angry or not, he softly asked, "Class leader, do the things you said before still count?"

Du Wanrou looked at him curiously, "What things?"

Qin Hao chuckled, "About us, if I get into Jianghai University."

"Let's talk about it when you get admitted," Du Wanrou replied unenthusiastically.

...

From a not too distant part of the classroom, Chen Shuna was quietly watching Qin Hao and Du Wanrou talk softly.

As an outsider, it was obvious to her how much Qin Hao adored and admired Du Wanrou.

She sighed internally, feeling somewhat concerned for Xia Qing.

Although Xia Qing hadn't told her about liking Qin Hao, her intense observation of him didn't escape Chen Shuna's notice.

Chen Shuna was also puzzled about something; Qin Hao had completely transformed from his former self.

Previously, he used to be indifferent and listless in the classroom, but now? He was energetic, studying hard almost every day.

Back then, he was timid and wouldn't dare speak out even when bullied.

Now? The boys in the class treated him with respect, not daring to breathe too loudly around him.

The most important change was how girls perceived him: previously, not even the plainest girls in the class would spare him a glance.

And now, both Du Wanrou and Xia Qing seemed to show some interest in him.

The well-known beauties of the class, Zhao Man and Wang Juan, also seemed to have a liking for him.

Chen Shuna was really curious about what had brought about such a dramatic change in him.

...

Yuan Zhengxiang had also been studying hard these days as he was aware that Du Wanrou intended to apply to Jianghai University.

His usual scores were close to Jianghai University's admission threshold, and he was not certain of getting in, so he was putting in extra effort.

He hadn't looked for trouble with Luo Hao because, in his opinion, after college, Qin Hao would be in a different world from Du Wanrou.

The two of them would no longer cross paths, thus eliminating any chance of being together.

Students from top universities and those from low-tier ones are worlds apart.

By then, Qin Hao would likely come to grips with reality.

After school in the afternoon

Qin Hao walked out from the classroom, garnering respectful greetings of "Hao" from many students of other classes.

Among these people, many he didn't recognize, though a few seemed familiar, probably those whom Xu Liang had called upon initially.

Qin Hao nodded politely. As he reached the school gate, he didn't see Xia Qing.

Usually, Xia Qing would come out earlier than him and would wait at the school gate to walk home with him.

Qin Hao paused at the school gate, planning to wait a bit for her.

"Waiting for Xia Qing, Hao? I just saw her still in the classroom, she should be coming down now," Lv Guibo and a few others came out of the school and greeted him eagerly.

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Thanks a lot."

Lv Guibo was flattered. Not many at Changle Second Middle School knew of Qin Hao's true identity, but he was one of those who did.

"No need to be polite, Hao. Take your time waiting; we'll be heading off first."

Not long after Lv Guibo left, a girl's voice rang out, "Qin Hao."

Qin Hao turned to look as several girls walked out of the school, their attire and makeup very stylish, not at all like typical students, yet still possessing a distinctive charm.

Of these girls, he only recognized Liu Fang, the leader; he didn't know the others.

With a smile on her face, Liu Fang approached Qin Hao while a wave of perfume hit him.

She spoke, "Are you free tonight? Let's have a drink, especially since tomorrow is the weekend."

The other girls beside her looked at Qin Hao curiously, their eyes filled with shyness, hope, and admiration.

These girls had significant connections at Second Middle and had heard about Qin Hao's reputation.

"Hao of Yonghe Street" was not only known at Changle Second Middle but also at Third Middle and among various bar owners, making him a top-notch figure in their eyes.

Spending an evening with such a key figure was something to boast about indeed.

Unaware of their thoughts, Qin Hao smiled and shook his head, "Not tonight, I need to keep studying for the upcoming unified exam. When I'm free, I'll treat you all to a meal."

The girls showed disappointment, but Liu Fang quickly smiled and said, "Sure, we'll remember your words. A man's word, once given, must be kept."
