Chapter 372: Don’t Come Near!

“Alright, alright, Zi can sleep in Ren’s room tonight.” Grandma walked over and said with a smile before Hao Ren could respond.
Zi was only teasing Hao Ren.
However, she blushed and hid beside Hao Ren after hearing Grandma’s comment.
“The weather just now was so terrifying,” Grandma looked up and sighed.
Hao Zhonghua wanted to point out that it was inappropriate for Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren to sleep in the same room.
However, since Grandma suddenly changed the topic, he nodded and replied, “Yue Yang said that the climate in the East Ocean area is a little abnormal. In my opinion, the seaside is not very safe. Yue Yang and I will check out some places in the city in a few days, and we can move.”
“Don’t worry!” Grandma shook her head immediately. “The dragon king is protecting our East Ocean. Even if it’s more dangerous than today, the dragon king can a.s.sure our safety.”
Yue Yang shook her head at Grandma’s comment, and Hao Zhonghua didn’t know what to say either.
Hao Zhonghua now believed in the existence of dragons, but that didn’t mean he had the same belief as Grandma.
“Our East Ocean City has been comfortable to live in for hundreds of years. There have never been natural disasters such as floods, droughts, and windstorms. This is all thanks to the dragon king who has been protecting the people,” Grandma continued.
Hao Ren would definitely think that this was a superst.i.tion of the older generation if it were before. But now, Hao Ren knew that Zhao Yanzi’s dad, Zhao Guang, had indeed been protecting the safety of the East Ocean area.
Even the old Grandma who was a Soul Formation Realm grandmaster and taught Xie Yujia the technique couldn’t guarantee a safe and secure life for the East Ocean Citizens when she was in charge.
“Mom, it’s already late. The tornados came in quickly and disappeared fat as well. It will be calm over the next couple of hours. Let’s go back home and get some rest,” Yue Yang would never believe Grandma’s explanation. She lightly nudged Grandma’s back and walked her into the house.
Hao Ren and the others followed them into the house as well. Since all the tornados were destroyed a dozen kilometers away from the coast, there was only wild wind left. The homes along the coastline didn’t experience too much damage.
Xie Yujia and Zhen Congming each went toward their rooms on the first floor, and Hao Ren walked to the staircase as Zhao Yanzi followed him in her soaked clothes. She held on to the b.u.t.tons on her wet s.h.i.+rt.
Hao Ren looked back at her, and she looked up at him as well.
“Zhonghua and Yue Yang, you guys should go sleep earlier too. You still need to take everyone out on a trip tomorrow,” Grandma said to them as she walked to her room.
“Ok, Mom,” Yue Yang replied politely before she dragged Hao Zhonghua into their room roughly.
Hao Zhonghua wanted to separate Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi, but he had no chance to do anything about it. Yue Yang and Grandma were on the same side when it came to Zhao Yanzi; they both wanted them to get along better. After all, Hao Ren wouldn’t do anything bad to her anyway.
“Time for bed! Time for bed!” Zhao Yanzi had no choice, so she pushed Hao Ren into his room; her face was red.
Over ten tornados were going crazy on the surface of the ocean, and four or five of them blew toward the city. Zhao Yanzi thought the East Ocean City would be in deep trouble, but Hao Ren easily cut all those tornados; it made her admire Hao Ren deeply.
Of course, she wouldn’t tell Hao Ren about this. Hao Ren occasionally looked cool in her eyes, but most of the time he was still the ‘uncle’ he usually was.
The room was warm.
Zhao Yanzi shook her wet shoes off and hid under the blankets. Then, she threw her wet coat, pants, and two colorful little socks onto the ground.
Hao Ren could imagine that she was only in her undergarments at this moment. Her reckless temperament was just as crazy as the tornados.
Except… Hao Ren could handle the tornados, but he couldn’t handle Zhao Yanzi.
“Aren’t you worried about the battle between the East Ocean Dragon Clan and West Ocean Dragon Clan?” Hao Ren stood at the door and asked Zhao Yanzi, who only kept her little head out of the blanket.
“Relax. We already won! There was a ray of raising red light when all the tornados died down,” Zhao Yanzi wrinkled her little nose and said.
Hao Ren finally felt relieved when he heard this. No wonder she was acting all excited; she already knew the result of the battle.
“You are so shameless, sleeping in my room when my parents are both here,” Hao Ren walked over and said to her in a relaxed mood.
Shoo… Zhao Yanzi hid her head under the blanket and murmured from underneath, “So what? So what?”
She was very cheerful on the inside.
Xie Yujia took care of Hao Ren when he first got back like a loving wife, leaving Zhao Yanzi aside. Now, Zhao Yanzi felt like she had the privilege of spending the night in Hao Ren’s room. On top of that, even Hao Ren’s parents ‘agreed’ to it. It was like a remarkable comeback, proving to Xie Yujia that she was the actual ‘fiancée’!
“Humph! You are on the first floor, and I’m on the second floor. So, I have a higher status than you!” Zhao Yanzi thought to herself as she curled up under the dark blanket.
“You think there’s nothing I can do when you turn yourself into a turtle?” Hao Ren walked a few steps closer and held Zhao Yanzi into his arms from under the blanket.
“Ah! Stop it!” Zhao Yanzi screamed when she was suddenly lifted into the air.
“Oh, you are already outside the window. I’m going to throw you out now,” Hao Ren opened the window and shouted toward the blanket.
A chilly wind blew in from the outside, and Zhao Yanzi thought Hao Ren actually lifted her and put her outside the window. She struggled and shouted, “Don’t you dare!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare? You dared to come into my room, so I dare to throw you out,” Hao Ren continued.
“Jerk!” Zhao Yanzi was a little scared as she was in the dark and had no idea what was going on. She struggled out of the blanket immediately and realized that Hao Ren only lifted her above the bed.
Her small undergarments couldn’t cover up her smooth body. Hao Ren could see her neck, her shoulders and a part of her belly.
“Ah…” Zhao Yanzi screamed and held on to the blanket in Hao Ren’s hands, covering herself up.
Even so, her two smooth feet were still right in front of Hao Ren.
She kicked Hao Ren hard before she turned back and went back onto the bed.
Her soft feet didn’t cause any harm to Hao Ren. On the other hand, he could see how panicky she was.
Hao Zhonghua heard Zhao Yanzi’s scream from next door. He looked at Yue Yang, who was beside him.
Yue Yang was keeping a record of today’s storm on her notebook. Hao Zhonghua coughed twice on purpose to attract her attention, but Yue Yang turned her body sideways and continued writing without acknowledging anything,
“Don’t come any closer or I’ll shout! I’m warning you! I’ve already taken off my clothes!” Zhao Yanzi said to Hao Ren loudly once she went back into bed.
Hao Zhonghua heard it from next door and coughed twice again toward Yue Yang.
Yue Yang bit the tip of her pen and pretended to be deep in her own thoughts; she didn’t react to his coughing at all. Hao Zhonghua sighed deeply and thought, “Kids are still kids. We’ll just let them be.”
Hao Ren laughed at Zhao Yanzi’s angry look. He turned around and took another set of blankets out of the closet.
“I won’t tease you anymore. We still need to go on a trip tomorrow.”
He put the blanket on the wooden floor, unb.u.t.toned his jacket, and lied on it. Then, he rolled around and got himself all curled up in the blanket.
Zhao Yanzi looked down at Hao Ren and saw him closing his eyes, getting ready to sleep. She hesitated for a few seconds before she reached out her hand to poke him. “Hey… Are you going to sleep like that?”
“How else should I sleep?” Hao Ren opened his eyes.
“I… I don’t know either,” Zhao Yanzi avoided Hao Ren’s eyes.
“I’m not teasing you anymore. You were screaming, and you almost woke up everyone in the house,” Hao Ren said.
“You were the one who scared me first!” Zhao Yanzi defended herself viciously.
Hao Ren waved her off. “Go to bed, go to bed.”
Zhao Yanzi didn’t feel right when she saw Hao Ren like this. Thinking about it, she did overreact when Hao Ren lifted her.
After giving it more thought, she realized that Hao Ren was actually pretty nice to her.
“I’ll share half the bed with you.” Zhao Yanzi dragged the edge of the blanket and moved toward the wall.
“Just go to bed. Who knows what trick you are playing now.” Hao Ren was too lazy to move, so he stayed under the blanket since it wasn’t cold on the floor.
“Come up!” Zhao Yanzi reached out her smooth arm and dragged onto Hao Ren’s blanket.
However, she wasn’t as heavy as Hao Ren. Instead of pulling him up, she almost fell onto the floor.
“I’ll get mad if you don’t come up!” Zhao Yanzi growled, rolling her eyes after seeing that Hao Ren didn’t move at all.
Hao Ren turned to her. “You really want me to come up?”
Zhao Yanzi looked at him; she didn’t know if she should nod or shake her head at this moment. How should she answer a question like that?
“Come up! Silly!” she shouted at last after a few seconds of pondering.
“Alright…” Hao Ren reluctantly climbed onto the other half of the bed in his blankets. It seemed like he didn’t want to get on there at all and was only doing it due to Zhao Yanzi’s sincere request.
Zhao Yanzi stared at him. She wished that she could punch him with her fists!
She let him sleep on the other side of the bed out of kindness, yet he was treating her like this!
Their blankets were close together. Even though they weren’t touching, it felt warm.
Hao Ren just leveled up to Gen level, so he was exhausted at the moment. He almost fell asleep immediately.
Zhao Yanzi stared at Hao Ren’s calm face like a frog on a lily pad, staring at a fly. Suddenly, she quickly landed her lips on Hao Ren’s forehead.
“What was that?” Hao Ren opened his eyes dizzily and saw Zhao Yanzi’s blus.h.i.+ng face.
“What are you talking about?” She rolled her eyes at him. “Go back to your silly dream! Humph!”
Zhao Yanzi then turned her back to Hao Ren.
