Zhao Yanzi was surprised to see Zhen Congming and Wu Luoxue enter the cafeteria.
She and Ling were already standing out here in their middle school uniforms, so Zhen Congming and Wu Luoxue, as two elementary school students, stood out even more.
“This is Zhao Yanzi. I’ll introduce you to her later.” Zhen Congming pointed at Zhao Yanzi as he walked by her with Wu Luoxue.
Zhao Yanzi stared at Zhen Congming, thinking “This kid is so rude! I am a Grade Nine student; he should at least call me, Big Sister!”
Zhen Congming couldn’t care less about Zhao Yanzi’s reaction. He dragged Wu Luoxue straight to Hao Ren and pushed on his waist, “Hey! Buy my girlfriend some lunch!”
Hao Ren was waiting in line; he had no idea that Zhen Congming would be here. Then, he became more surprised when he looked over at Wu Luoxue who was holding his hand.
“Did he seal the deal during the summer?” Hao Ren thought, “This is how efficient the elementary school students are nowadays?”
Wu Luoxue slightly took her hand back as she kept quiet.
Seeing that Hao Ren didn’t respond, Zhen Congming shouted again, “Buy my girlfriend some lunch!”
Hao Ren was at a loss for words. He wondered how Zhen Congming could be so thick-faced as the latter tried to ask for a favor. Then, he saw Wu Luoxue’s cold reaction and knew that Zhen Congming named himself Wu Luoxue’s boyfriend.
“Damn it. So shameless…” Hao Ren thought as he walked around Zhen Congming and said to Wu Luoxue, “Xue, I’ll buy you some lunch.”
Wu Luoxue nodded quietly. “Thank you, uncle!”
Pa!
Hao Ren felt like he was struck by lightning when she greeted him like that.
“Uncle… Wu Luoxue is not cute at all!” he thought.
“Let me treat you, Xue,” Xie Yujia crouched down and gently patted Wu Luoxue’s head.
“Ok. Thank you, Big Sister,” Wu Luoxue nodded and said softly.
“Big Sister…!”
Hao Ren felt like he was struck again! Did he look that old?”
“Haha, Xue is so sweet!” The Lu sisters patted Wu Luoxue’s head as they adored her very much.
“Hey! Buy me lunch!” Zhen Congming shouted at Hao Ren again.
Hao Ren said without looking at him, “Call me ‘Big Brother’.”
Zhen Congming gritted his teeth in anger, but he wanted to keep his image. When Hao Ren arrived at the ordering window, he finally asked softly, “Big Brother… get me a combo.”
“That’s more like it…” Hao Ren didn’t push it. He placed the prepaid card on the machine and said, “Four pork chop combos please!”
He handed two over to Zhen Congming and walked to Zhao Yanzi with the other two.
Xie Yujia paid for Wu Luoxue’s meal, and the latter held the chicken tender combo careful and sat beside Zhao Yanzi.
Zhen Congming smiled flatteringly as he pushed his tray over. Then, he moved to the seat beside Wu Luoxue.
Wu Luoxue didn’t care about him as she ate quietly with the chopsticks in her tiny pink hand. Her mom prepared a lunch box for her, but Zhen Congming dragged her to come and visit East Ocean University.
During the summer, she stayed at home and read, painted, and played the piano… as if Zhen Congming didn’t exist. However, Zhen Congming always dragged her to play games and get ice cream.
Wu Luoxue was neither annoyed nor fond of it. It was both an ordinary and an unordinary summer for her.
Zhen Congming had a different mindset. He felt like Wu Luoxue and he had gotten very close during the summer, so he took her on a tour of East Ocean University. It was like an emperor was taking his imperial concubine on a tour of the royal backyard.
He would be heavily shocked if he learned that Wu Luoxue only came because her dad had told her to get along with Zhen Congming. In fact, she wasn’t interested in him.
Xie Luoxue ate slowly and elegantly as she was brought up properly. Zhao Yanzi devoured half of her meal before she realized how Wu Luoxue was eating, and she looked at Hao Ren and saw him watching her. Her face suddenly turned red.
Hao Ren looked at her lovingly. Even though Zhao Yanzi warned herself to be careful of Hao Ren, she still felt very sweet inside.
“Hem…Hem…” Zhao Yanzi patted her chest and dry coughed a little. Then, she sipped the soup and started to eat as slowly as Wu Luoxue.
This was the first time that Zhao Yanzi paid attention to her behavior…
Hao Ren was going to see Lu Qi at the library after lunch, so Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters followed him there. Zhao Yanzi looked at the time and saw that she still had some time before the lunch break ended, so she handed the bike to Ling and followed Hao Ren to the library as well.
Ling looked Zhao Yanzi and thought angrily, “She said that I’m always putting my boyfriend before her, but she is doing the same!”
Zhen Congming and Wu Luoxue also followed them out of the cafeteria. Zhen Congming hesitated and tried to hold Wu Luoxue’s hand, but she wouldn’t let him this time. She raised her hand and moved it around, and Zhen Congming couldn’t grab it. This made him want it even more.
“Brother Hao!” Lu Qi was hosting the Go Club’s recruiting event for the second day, and he immediately greeted Hao Ren when the latter walked over.
“Um…” Hao Ren walked over and asked, “Where is the Calligraphy Club’s general meeting?”
“Academic Building F, Room 101 at 1:00 PM. It is the largest lecture hall of our school,” Lu Qi answered.
“Ok.” Hao Ren nodded. By establishing the Calligraphy Club, he would be able to gather all the cultivators at school so that it wouldn’t be such a mess.
“Also, Vice Principle Lu assigned us a club office himself. It’s a separate large office, Room 302 of Academic Building E,” Lu Qi said.
Hao Ren smiled powerlessly and wondered how large of a discussion this arrangement would cause. At least, all other clubs would be extremely jealous of them because even Huang Xujie’s Rock-Climbing Club didn’t get such special treatment.
Lu Qi looked at Zhao Yanzi, who was beside Hao Ren, and thought to himself, “So, this is the little princess of the East Ocean Dragon Clan. She looks pretty even in her middle school uniform.”
Lu Qi wasn’t a water-elemental dragon, and his dragon clan was very far from East Ocean. Therefore, he didn’t have that much respect for the East Ocean Dragon Clan. In fact, it was Hao Ren’s abilities and character that earned his admiration.
“Xue, they play Go as well!” Zhen Congming noticed the Go chess pieces on the long table and said to Wu Luoxue.
Zhen Congming said that mainly to start a conversation with Wu Luoxue, but his tone offended the members of the Go Club.
“Where did these kids come from? This is Go, not Five in a Row!” they thought.
Zhen Congming took the opportunity to grab Wu Luoxue’s slim wrist, and they walked over to see the board arrangement.
Wu Luoxue took her wrist back. She was a little against Zhen Congming touched her hand, but it was not enough to get her mad.
Zhen Congming glimpsed at the board and randomly picked up a black piece, placing it on the board.
“Hey! Kid, you are not supposed to touch this!” one of the club members shouted immediately.
All these arrangements were copies of the games between their leader, Lu Qi, and top players. They were used to test new members, and it would take a long time for them to rearrange it according to the record if it were messed up.
“62 black pieces and 62 white pieces. It is black’s turn,” Zhen Congming said.
The member who was in charge of this arrangement looked at Zhen Congming in surprise. He thought, “This kid only glanced at it, and he already knew the number of the pieces…”
Wu Luoxue walked over to see the game. She was more interested in Go than in Zhen Congming.
That club member thought for a bit, and he picked up a white piece and placed it on the board.
Zhen Congming played another piece without thinking about it much.
Then, this member set another white piece down. It was very rare for elementary school students to know how to play Go.
He heard that some of the elementary schools were giving Go lessons as well, so he wanted to see how good this cute boy was.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
The black and white pieces landed on the board one by one.
“Um…” Ten minutes later, this member couldn’t decide where to put his next white piece.
It might have been the heat of the afternoon, or this member might have been very nervous. He was sweating on the forehead, but he had no time to wipe it off. He was a level 5 amateur player with excellent skills, but Zhen Congming was making it difficult for him to fight back!
Lu Qi stared at the board and thought of a few places to put the white piece. However, he then realized that those were bad choices.
“You should put it here,” Wu Luoxue said gently as she pointed at a spot on the board with her tiny finger.
Lu Qi was suddenly enlightened, and the club member who was playing against Zhen Congming immediately placed the white piece in his hand over at that spot.
This move had brought the passive white pieces some hope.
Lu Qi looked at this calm-looking little girl in surprise. He realized that this girl might be even better than him in Go.
“Then, I’ll go here!” Zhen Congming laid another black piece down, and the situation change again.
“Here.” Wu Luoxue pointed again.
This member of the Go Club became Wu Luoxue’s puppet, and he placed the piece at where she was pointing.”
“Here!” Zhen Congming went again.
“Here.” Wu Luoxue gently pointed again.
The battle between the black pieces and the white pieces was very intense. Hao Ren didn’t understand how it went, but he could tell that the two players were almost of equal skills.
Lu Qi, on the other hand, watched in excitement.
This was a game between top players! Even level 7 amateur players wouldn’t be able to play like this!
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! The chess pieces slowly took up the board. Wu Luoxue picked up a white chest piece in the end and put it on the board herself.
“You… have lost” She tilted her head and said.
Zhen Congming gritted his teeth as his eyebrows almost twisted together. He watched the board for a few seconds before he threw the black piece back into the can; he was mad and unwilling to accept defeat.
“You are too weak,” Wu Luoxue said pleasantly.
Lu Qi stared at the board as he couldn’t tell the result yet. He calculated a dozen steps ahead and realized that it was a dead end for the black pieces.
Hao Ren looked at Wu Luoxue as he realized that she was a tricky little girl; she didn’t need a bat to beat Zhen Congming.
“Excuse me, can I join the Go Club?” someone said suddenly.
