Chapter 544: Watch a Good Show!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Ling looked at Hao Ren in shock. She did not expect how tough this ‘uncle’ who Zhao Yanzi always mentioned happily was when fighting with hooligans.
Middle school girls didn’t care about family background or grades. Instead, they liked boys who were manlier; that was why they tended to like boys who were good at basketball.
Now that Hao Ren fought off three people just by himself, especially when he fought so well that the three hooligans were begging on the floor, the girls were now full of curiosity.
The hooligans had cut a small wound on Hao Ren’s arm with a knife, but this did not affect how attractive Hao Ren appeared to them. On the contrary, the injury made him appear even more manly.
All the girls’ eyes lit up brightly like stars; they thought Hao Ren was their Prince Charming.
The boys who had a secret crush on Zhao Yanzi and wrote her love letters were all backing up and giving up now.
These boys came from wealthy families. Zhao Yanzi was cute and pretty, so they wanted to pursue her. However, from what happened today, they knew that even if they had successfully pursued Zhao Yanzi, they couldn’t protect her; none of them dared to stand up for her when they saw the three fierce-looking hooligans today. However, Hao Ren appeared and defeated the three hooligans with ease.
“Let’s go.” Hao Ren lifted the bicycle back up, turned around, and said to Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi bit her lips. Then, she got on the back seat of the bicycle when everyone was watching them.
By now, the teachers had heard about the news and were about to come out.
Some of the students of East Ocean University saw that there were a bunch of middle school students gathered in front of LingZhao Middle School from across the street, so they went across the road to see what was happening.
Under these circ.u.mstances, both Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi didn’t want to be surrounded by crowds.
Hao Ren sat on the bicycle, carrying Zhao Yanzi on the back. He rode on the road that separated LingZhao Middle School and East Ocean University and dashed away.
From defeating the hooligans to taking Zhao Yanzi to escape, Hao Ren didn’t say much. He seemed calm and warm throughout the process.
The middle school girls watched as the bicycle disappeared around the corner of the road, and they suddenly thought that Zhao Yanzi was very blessed.
Liu Yuntao who was standing next to Ling suddenly came back to his senses. After thinking about how Hao Ren handled the situation and his own performance, he suddenly blushed.
“OK. Zi’s boyfriend is really incredible. However, it is not your fault that you couldn’t fend off the bad guys,” Ling said as she looked up at Liu Yuntao and touched him.
At the critical moment, Ling was delighted that Liu Yuntao was able to protect her with his arms. However, she had to admit that Zhao Yanzi’s boyfriend was spectacular.
“He’s different from ordinary guys!” Ling suddenly remembered this confident comment from Zhao Yanzi when they chatted last night in their dorm.
Zhao Yanzi was proud and had high standards. There were many boys from the Middle School Department and High school Department pursuing her, and she would receive mountains of love letters each week, but she did not even look at them.
However, she liked this ‘uncle.’
Thinking closely, this ‘uncle’ was far better than ordinary handsome men.
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
One of the three hooligans who escaped on motorcycles drove back, and the guy on it said viciously, “You brat. You’ve done it well this time but wait and see! I’ll be back!”
Vroom… The motorcycle crossed the intersection quickly, turning into a black dot.
At that moment, Hao Ren was riding on the bicycle and heading to Hongji Square already. Because he didn’t want to get East Ocean University involved in this, he did not cross the East Ocean University but had gone around it.
Zhao Yanzi sat in the back, hugging Hao Ren’s waist with both hands. Although she had not calmed down, she could tell that Hao Ren was really mad when he hit them.
She wasn’t actually afraid of those three hooligans, but Zhao Guang had given her orders and told her that she couldn’t expose the family ident.i.ty. Therefore, she couldn’t call anyone from her family to solve the situation, and she also could not expose her true power and fight off the three hooligans by herself.
Her only option left was calling Hao Ren.
From this process, she felt that Hao Ren was more boyfriend like. She felt like a little girlfriend, not having powers, not being able to cultivate, but could feel a sense of security from being protected.
She held onto Hao Ren’s s.h.i.+rt with both hands. Hao Ren’s appearance this time would for sure be spread around the campus. In less than half a day, everyone from Grade Seven to Grade Nine would be talking about this. Zhao Yanzi was able to imagine what it would be like.
“Whatever. I don’t care,” Zhao Yanzi thought as she put one side of her face against Hao Ren’s back.
Ring! Ring! Ring! Zhao Yanzi’s phone rang.
“Zi. Those hooligans said they are going to come again. You guys have to be more careful!” On Zhao Yanzi’s phone, she could hear Ling’s anxious voice.
“OK. I know!” After hearing the news, Zhao Yanzi frowned and put her phone away.
Hooligans were like this; one second, they would be begging for mercy, and the next second, they would bring more people to seek revenge. If it were normal students, they would for sure be so scared that they wouldn’t even dare to go to school and end up hiding at home.
However, Zhao Yanzi was really not afraid of these hooligans. When they arrived at Hongji Square, Zhao Yanzi dragged Hao Ren to the cinema’s washroom.
There was a sink in between the men and women’s washrooms. Zhao Yanzi dragged Hao Ren there, and she turned on the tap and pulled Hao Ren’s hands over, using the water to wash his palm and the back of his hand.
Hao Ren only used his own physical strength to fight the hooligans and didn’t use any nature essence. When he punched to the hooligans, a few punches slipped and hit the cement ground, scratching his skin.
Zhao Yanzi witnessed all that. That was why the first thing she did when they arrived at Hongji Square was dragging Hao Ren to the washroom and was.h.i.+ng his hands clean.
The tap water was cold. Zhao Yanzi carefully washed off the little rocks and dust on Hao Ren’s wounded skin. From how the little rocks got stuck in Hao Ren’s hand, one could tell that Hao Ren punched really hard, which probably explained why those fierce-looking hooligans were begging for mercy.
Huahuahua… The clear water flowed.
Hao Ren looked down at Zhao Yan, who was helping him clean up his wounds carefully, and suddenly realized that Zhao Yanzi was sometimes gentle and attentive.
Zhao Yanzi was a bit touched while she held onto Hao Ren’s big hands; she believed that even if Hao Ren didn’t cultivate, he would still come rus.h.i.+ng over to save her and fend off the hooligans in that situation.
“Let’s go!” Zhao Yanzi washed both Hao Ren’s hands clean. Then, she turned off the tap and dragged Hao Ren over to the cartoon shop outside.
“What…?” Hao Ren asked her weirdly.
“Hurry up!” Zhao Yanzi pulled Hao Ren hard.
Inside the little shop were a lot of different things. Zhao Yanzi stood on her tip-toes and looked around the shop. She finally found the thing she wanted, so she ran over to pick it up. Then, she ran over to the counter to pay.
Hao Ren stood at the entrance and observed her.
“Show your hand!” Zhao Yanzi said as she glared at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren curled his lips and put out both hands before her.
Zhao Yanzi opened the package she just bought and took out a few cartoon-patterned band-aids. Then, she flipped over Hao Ren’s hand and stuck band-aids on his joints.
Hao Ren looked at her strangely; he didn’t expect her to be buying something like this in the small shop, so he was a bit touched by her actions.
Zhao Yanzi had remembered that this place sold cute cartoon-patterned band-aids from last time when Hao Ren came shopping with her; that was why when Hao Ren was hurt this time, she led him here.
“OK. I’ll keep the rest for myself.” Zhao Yanzi put the rest of the band-aids in her pocket; she looked like she was so stingy that she didn’t want to use too many of the band-aids she bought with her own money on Hao Ren.
Hao Ren looked at the time; the fourth cla.s.s in the university hadn’t end yet, so he couldn’t give Xie Yujia a call. Then, he looked at Zhao Yanzi and said, “I’ll treat you to noodles?”
“OK.” Zhao Yanzi pouted. She wasn’t really picky about lunch since the lunch break time was limited; she didn’t have the time to go eat something good even if she wanted to.
Hao Ren led Zhao Yanzi to a beef noodle restaurant that he went to frequently, and he found a table for two and ordered two bowls of beef noodles.
Zhao Yanzi was wearing her school uniform today, but there were no other LingZhao Middle School students there. When she sat with Hao Ren, she attracted lots of attention because of her beauty. Many university students kept looking at her.
When they finished the steaming beef noodles, Hao Ren looked at the time and saw that this was the time that the fourth period in university ended. He sat on the bicycle and took Zhao Yanzi back to school.
Vroom… Vroom… Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi saw tens of silver motorcycles driving around when they arrived at the entrance of LingZhao Middle School.
The leader of the hooligans whom Hao Ren had just beaten up sat on the back of a large motorcycle. As soon as he saw Hao Ren, he pointed at the latter and said, “Boss, it’s him!”
The areas around his eyes were all swollen, so his eyes were now in the shape of a line. He had put a lot of medicine on his face, and it looked even more colorful than before.
The person on the largest motorcycle was the boss of the hooligans. He was wearing a black sports jacket and had black tattoos on his arms. He looked ruthless and powerful.
If it were ordinary students, they would be running for their lives after they saw them. However, when Hao Ren saw them, he felt the same way as Zhao Yanzi, which was a feeling of hate and annoyance.
The motorcycles quickly surrounded Hao Ren and his bike in the blink of an eye.
Vroom! Vroom! They purposefully stepped on the gas so that the motorcycles would let out a louder noise. There was black smoke everywhere.
“Boss! Boss” Outside Clear Stream Cafeteria, a henchman of Huang Xujie ran toward him and said, “That Hao Ren is surrounded by hooligans outside LingZhao Middle School!”
“Ah, there’s such a good show?” Huang Xujie suddenly became very excited. He brought tens of henchmen and rushed over toward the main entrance of East Ocean University in excitement.
Asides from Huang Xujie, other students of East Ocean University heard of the news as well, and they also rushed toward the main entrance of East Ocean University.
This was just when the fourth period ended at East Ocean University, so many students came out of the academic buildings.
These hooligans had surrounded Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi, and they didn’t rush to take action because they wanted this kind of a crowd.
The middle school students who had just finished eating lunch at the surrounding restaurants were coming back and also appeared at the main entrance of LingZhao Middle School.
Huang Xujie led tens of members of the Rock-Climbing Club over, and he saw Hao Ren being surrounded by tens of hooligans. Surprisingly, he knew the boss of the gang.
“Hahaha… Great. No matter how good you are at fighting, Hao Ren, you wouldn’t be able to beat tens of hooligans,” Huang Xujie thought as he stood behind the crowd happily.
“Brother Huang,” the boss of the hooligans said when he saw Huang Xujie.
Huang Xujie’s facial expression changed suddenly.
