Dragon King’s Son-In-Law

It was only eight o’clock when Hao Ren got back to his dorm after walking the Lu sisters back.

Hao Ren felt less pressured now that Lady Zhen had left East Ocean City. It seemed like she was only passing by here on her way to Kunlun Mountain.

She probably stayed in East Ocean City for a few days to adapt to the mortal world, but it still got the Dragon God Shrine very nervous.

“Seems like this mom doesn’t care much about her son,” Hao Ren thought to himself; he didn’t dare to say it out loud.

Lady Zhen was very unpredictable and powerful. Who knows if she would appear suddenly again.

Zhou Liren and the other guys started to play cards again in the dorm, and Hao Ren walked through the dorm room to the balcony to check on LingZhao Middle School.

Zhao Yanzi’s dorm room’s light was out, which meant they weren’t there. Dinner time had passed, so they must be in the classroom.

Hao Ren looked further at their academic building and found that almost all the classrooms on the third floor were bright.

“Grade Nine students are doing evening self-study…” Hao Ren thought as he injected some nature essences into his eyes to check on the classroom.

Class Two of Grade Nine was in the second classroom on the third floor, and Zhao Yanzi was sitting by the window. Hao Ren could see her clearly.

She kept writing something with her head down, and Hao Ren had no idea what she was working on.

The class advisor, Luo Ying, walked around the classroom with her hand behind her, keeping the class in order. She would stop beside Zhao Yanzi from time to time to look at what she had written.

Ling sat behind Zhao Yanzi, and she tapped Zhao Yanzi’s back with her pen when Luo Ying turned around to chat secretly.

The lively scene reminded Hao Ren of his evening self-study sessions when he was in middle school.

“What are you doing?” Hao Ren took out his phone and sent over a message.

Zhao Yanzi pulled her phone out of the desk and replied a message; Hao Ren could see everything she was doing.

“It’s all your fault! I am writing a reflection paper!”

Hao Ren got her message a few seconds later.

Hao Ren couldn’t help but laugh at her response, thinking, “This is not your first time writing up a reflection paper. You are an expert already.”

When Hao Ren was about to reply, Luo Ying walked in front of Zhao Yanzi from the other side of the classroom and reached out her hand.

Zhao Yanzi had no choice but to put the black phone in Luo Ying’s hand, and she gritted her teeth in anger.

Luo Ying took the cell phone away, but she was still standing in front of Zhao Yanzi. It seemed like she was scolding her.

Zhao Yanzi turned her face to the window, upset. However, Hao Ren could see her face clearly this way.

“What? You don’t think I’m right?” Luo Ying picked up Zhao Yanzi’s reflection paper and took a look before saying, “You don’t realize your fault at all!”

“Fine! I’ll write it again!” Zhao Yanzi was upset.

Yu Qing, from Class Six, was the one who started it, but Zhao Yanzi had to write the reflection paper.

“That’s not necessary; go on and study. Don’t think you have nothing to learn because you did well on the finals. Your foundation isn’t good, so you need more practice!”

Luo Ying put the reflection paper away with a stern face. Then, she knocked twice on Zhao Yanzi’s desk.

Zhao Yanzi breathed heavily as her chest went up and down. She thought “What the hell! You are just trying to pick on me!”

Luo Ying snorted a little and walked to the front of the classroom to grade homework.

“Zhao Yanzi’s parents don’t try to discipline her, and they were talking about a fiancée or something. As the class advisor, it is my responsibility to set her straight,” she thought.

On the first day that the school moved to the new campus, one of her students started a fight in front of the gate. This had made Luo Ying very embarrassed.

Zhao Yanzi had always been one of the problem students in her eyes. Even though Zhao Yanzi’s grades had gotten better, her personality stayed the same.

Luo Ying admitted that Zhao Yanzi was smart, but the more intelligent a student was, the easier it was for him or her to get into big trouble.

All other class advisors asked the class presidents to keep the class in order during the evening self-study session, but she was here herself since she wanted to be responsible for these students.

All the students in other classes were either from a rich or an influential family; they didn’t have to worry about their future at all. However, the students in Class Two were from ordinary families, and their futures would be tough if they messed up the high school entrance exams. That was how the society was; one wrong step could lead to the wrong path.

Luo Ying believed that although these students were calling her ‘old witch’ behind her back, they would surely understand her intentions in the future.

“Zhao Yanzi wants to flip the table, but at least it is better than having her suffer a miserable life in the future,” Luo Ying sighed silently as she graded the homework with her reading glasses on.

Ling saw Luo Ying working on the homework and lightly patted Zhao Yanzi again.

“Don’t get upset with the old witch, Zi. She is just stern, but she can’t really do anything. Hey! Did you get to question no.6?” Ling asked quietly.

“No.6? That was easy. I have already finished no.10!” Zhao Yanzi turned around to put the practice booklet behind her.

“Awesome, you are all done?” Ling was surprised.

She was only ranked middle in Class Two but was way better than Zhao Yanzi, who was always last. However, Zhao Yanzi’s grades had been improving rapidly, which surprised everyone.

“We learned all these in Grade Eight. What’s so hard about them?” Zhao Yanzi said proudly with her head up.

They hadn’t learned many new things since Grade Nine had just started. The evening sessions were mainly meant to review the concepts in Grade Eight, and Hao Ren had walked her through all these questions before. Therefore, she finished very quickly.

“Hey, hey!” Ling moved her chair closer and leaned onto the wall, “Liu Yuntao wanted to kiss me today.”

“Ah, and then?” Zhao Yanzi got very interested suddenly and moved her head over.

“I don’t know how to kiss, so I didn’t want him to laugh at me,” Ling shrugged and said quietly. Then, she opened her eyes wide and whispered, “I read on a book that you have to stick your tongue out while kissing, but I’m a little scared.”

“Oh, that…” Zhao Yanzi mumbled.

“Zi, you know how to kiss, right?” Ling continued.

They were best friends, and they told each other everything. Therefore, she could only come to Zhao Yanzi when it came to these kinds of questions.

However, how would Zhao Yanzi know? Although she was Hao Ren’s fiancée in name, she hadn’t kissed him properly.

Since Ling was asking, Zhao Yanzi didn’t want to lose face by saying no. She lightly coughed twice and said, “Of course I know!”

“So how does it go? We have been together for two months. Is it too soon to kiss?” Ling was not sure.

Ling hadn’t dated anyone else before, and Liu Yuntao was the first one she had a crush on up until the end of Grade Eight. Zhao Yanzi had inspected Liu Yuntao for Ling, and she found him pretty decent.

“Two months is normal! You can even kiss him after one month!” Zhao Yanzi pretended to be the expert.

She had known Hao Ren for a few months, and there had never been a breakthrough; they hadn’t even officially kissed yet. She resisted Hao Ren a little before, but she now felt embarrassed since Ling was making more progress with her boyfriend.

“Ah, really?” Ling wasn’t experienced, and she trusted Zhao Yanzi since boys were always after her.

“Of course!” Zhao Yanzi pouted. “You need to close your eyes when you kiss. Let him hold you in his arms and stick your tongue out when he reaches over to kiss you…”

Zhao Yanzi was making all these things up. Half of it was her pure imagination, and the other half was from the magazines. She had no experience at all.

However, she blushed when she was telling Ling all these as she was imagining being kissed by Hao Ren.

Ling lowered her voice and looked around cautiously before asking, “You and him… Do you guys kiss a lot?”

Zhao Yanzi bit her lips in surprise. “I and him…”

She suddenly didn’t know how to answer.

“If you think about it, he is quite handsome. He looks more like a high school student than a university student,” Ling said.

This was exactly how Zhao Yanzi felt as well. However, different people saw their lovers differently. In Xie Yujia’s eyes, Hao Ren was a kind and out-going university student.

“Does he kiss you a lot?” Ling continued with her question since Zhao Yanzi kept quiet.

She really wanted to know the answer to this girl-talk question.

“What do you think about him?” Zhao Yanzi shot a question back at Ling.

“He is nice. I didn’t realize it before, but now I find him pretty handsome and detailed. Yanyan and Qiqi both think that he is nice,” Ling answered.

Zhao Yanzi was relieved to hear this answer, so she went on with her bluffing. “We kiss every day! He likes me a lot and likes to hug me all the time.”

“Haha! You two are so close!” Ling was envious. Due to their age difference, Ling thought it was a bit weird for Hao Ren to be with Zhao Yanzi. But now, she thought they were a good match.

“Of course!” Zhao Yanzi was satisfied.

“Since you are so close, did you guys…” Ling glanced at her. “Do that?”

“Hey! What are you talking about!” Zhao Yanzi knocked Ling’s head with a notebook.

Bang! Bang!

Luo Ying knocked on the desk with one hand and pointed at Zhao Yanzi and Ling with the other. “What are you guys messing around about during this self-study session?”

Zhao Yanzi and Ling looked down immediately.

Zhao Yanzi turned back to the front; she was so excited that she made a loud noise just now.

However, Ling’s question was still making her heart beat fast.

Ring… The bell rang, and the session ended. Luo Ying picked up her halfway-marked homework and walked out of the classroom.

The students followed her out in a crowd.

Ling ran next door to see Liu Yuntao. They just started dating not long ago, so they wanted to be together whenever they could.

Zhao Yanzi pouted, feeling a bit lonely.

She had to walk for a bit in the dark from the classroom to the dorm.

Suddenly, she saw a shadow on the ground in front of her while she walked with her head down.

She slowly looked up, and it was Hao Ren standing in front of her.
