Dragon King's Son-In-Law

"What are you standing up for? Go ahead and sit!"

Suddenly, Ma Lina pushed Hao Ren from behind and forced him directly into the seat beside Xie Yujia.

"I'll sit in the back!" before Xie Yujia could answer, Ma Lina run to the back row where Hao Ren usually sat cheerfully.

Hao Ren turned to look at Ma Lina speechlessly. However, since it happened already, he sat down beside Xie Yujia and accompanied her.

The class bell rang, and the teacher walked in with his materials. He noticed that Hao Ren, who usually sat in the back, was sitting in the second row with Xie Yujia; he found it a little strange, but he didn't ask about it.

On the one hand, students could sit wherever they wanted in the university, and there was no restriction at all. As a matter of fact, it was already a good thing that they showed up for class. On the other hand, Hao Ren was someone who had a golden star next to his name on the attendance list. He was one of the students who were looked after by Lu Qing, the Vice Principal. Therefore, this teacher needed to be extra careful about him.

After Ma Lina went to the back row where the guys were, Xie Yujia wasn't used to it at first. But soon, she got close to them and started to chat with them in a low voice.

Hao Ren, in the front row, didn't adjust to the change of the situation as well as Ma Lina did. He sat beside Xie Yujia and felt like the teacher was too close to him.

Although he had known Xie Yujia since they were little, it was the first time that he sat with her during class.

Hao Ren sensed a warm feeling from Xie Yujia's body, and he felt the softness of her arm even though they weren't touching.

He could see the side of her charming face if he turned his head slightly; it was the scene many guys dreamed of!

She quickly took notes with the ballpoint pen; her handwriting was graceful but assertive.

Xie Yujia suddenly turned to Hao Ren and blinked at him with her big eyes. "Why aren't you taking notes?"

"Oh, oh..." Hao Ren picked up a pen, not knowing what to write.

Xie Yujia smiled at Hao Ren's clumsiness and turned back to the teacher to listen carefully.

Her facial features were so delicate that she looked like the masterpiece of a sculptor. The graceful and perfect shapes such as her eyebrows, nose, lips were so beautiful that they looked like they were sketched out by an artist.

She wasn't wearing any makeup or perfume; all she had was the light, fresh smell of laundry detergent on her clothes.

"Damn, good boy Ren has such a peach blossom fortune! He even got Xie Yujia as his girlfriend!" Yu Rong, Zhou Liren, and the other guys at the back were very jealous.

Hao Ren sat beside Xie Yujia and felt like everything else started to turn into a blur. The tree danced outside the window, and the teacher kept writing on the blackboard. Hao Ren felt as if he was in a middle school classroom.

Hao Ren suddenly had the illusion of him being in a middle school classroom, sitting beside Xie Yujia during class.

The feeling of being childhood sweethearts, the feeling of knowing someone even better than himself, and the feeling of taking care of someone without the necessity of saying it out loud... All these feelings suddenly overwhelmed him.

"If only... I was in the same school and same class as Xie Yujia when I was in middle school..." he pondered.

"Hey... class is over." Xie Yujia nudged Hao Ren out of the blue.

"Oh..." Hao Ren scratched his head. He didn't even hear the bell while he looked at her.

Xie Yujia covered her mouth as she smiled. After she put her books in her bag, she said with a stern expression, "You have been daydreaming throughout the class. What are you going to do for the exam?"

"Weren't you taking excellent notes?" Hao Ren asked.

She pouted speechlessly. "I'll give you a copy before the exam!"

Hao Ren laughed. He turned to the back and found that Zhou Liren and the other guys were long gone.

"When are you going to Zhao Yanzi's house?" Hao Ren asked as they walked out of the classroom together.

"In the evening; Auntie invited me over for dinner," Xie Yujia answered.

Hao Ren nodded, thought for a bit, and asked, "Did she say that you are the only guest?"

"Not really." She shook her head.

Hao Ren got lost in his thoughts, "I am supposed to go tutor Zhao Yanzi today as usual, but maybe it's not a good idea to tag along since Zhao Hongyu invited Xie Yujia over for dinner..."

Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren; she secretly wished that Hao Ren could go with her. Although she sensed that Zhao Yanzi's mother was a gentle and wise person, she was still somehow a bit anxious.

"Call me if you need anything," Hao Ren said to Xie Yujia.

"Ok..." she smiled at him and left the building.

In the afternoon, Zhou Liren dragged Hao Ren to watch Zhao Jiayi's training. Hao Ren was surprised to find out that the stadium was filled with Zhao Yanzi's 'fangirls.'

Zhao Jiayi had become somewhat of a 'campus celebrity,' and his fame almost exceeded Huang Xujie's.

"The basketball team had won three games in a roll under Zhao Jiayi's lead. It is ranked at the top in the National College Basketball League so far," Zhou Liren said as he scanned the girls.

Hao Ren suddenly wondered what Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were doing as he looked at those excited girls.

"Gongzi!"

Hao Ren only thought of them, and they appeared by Hao Ren's sides understandingly.

They looked like two Russian Nesting Dolls in their stylish red jackets. The jackets were kind of loose but very fashionable.

The appearance of the twins brightened the stadium. Even the members of the basketball team ran as fast as bunnies when they saw that the Lu sisters were watching them train.

"What have you been doing? I barely see you guys besides the weekends," Hao Ren asked.

"Hehe, we have been cultivating and trying to advance to mid-tier Qian-level," Lu Linlin answered with a bright smile.

"Plus, we didn't want to disturb Gongzi," Lu Lili added lightly.

"How's studying going?" Hao Ren asked them.

"Getting smoother and smoother; the classes aren't difficult. Oh, we need to go shoot a short video off campus in a few days," Lu Linlin got closer to Hao Ren as she answered.

Although she was in the baggy red outfit, the softness of her arms and shoulders was the same.

"Um. That's good." Hao Ren nodded and turned back to the basketball court.

Lu Lili secretly stared at Hao Ren from his side. She moved closer; she wanted to touch him, but she didn't have the gut to do so.

Lu Linlin, on the other hand, put her hands on Hao Ren's shoulder and rested her chin on her hands, watching the game closely.

"Damn! Hao Ren will definitely get punished for this!" Zhou Liren said enviously since he was standing the closest to Hao Ren and saw how intimate the twins were with Hao Ren.

After a little while, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili said abruptly, "Let's go get something to eat, Gongzi."

Hao Ren looked at them with a strange expression. "How did you know that I'm not going to Zhao Yanzi's house today?"

"We know Gongzi's plan too well! If you are going to Little Zhumu's house, you would be preparing tutoring materials in the afternoon instead of watching the training," Lu Linlin laughed and said.

Hao Ren laughed and shrugged, "I might still need to go."

He took out the phone and dialed Zhao Hongyu's number.

"Where are you, Ren?" Zhao Hongyu picked up instantly.

"I'm at school," Hao Ren asked upfront, "Auntie, did you invite Xie Yujia over today?"

"Yes, didn't she tell you about it?" Zhao Hongyu didn't deny it. She paused for half a second and said, "Why don't you come along?"

"Ok... but Auntie, do you have something to talk about with Xie Yujia?"

"Nothing specific. I just want to treat her to dinner and get to know her," Zhao Hongyu heard Lu Linlin and Lu Lili's chatter over the phone and asked, "Are Linlin and Lili with you?"

"Yeah," Hao Ren answered.

"Ask them to come over too then," Zhao Hongyu said straightforwardly.

Hao Ren covered up the speaker and asked the twins, "I'm going to Zi's house for dinner. Do you guys want to come?"

He thought they would say yes without hesitation since they loved big crowds of people. But to his surprise, the twins shook their heads. "We had plans for today already, so we can't go."

Hao Ren answered Zhao Hongyu, "They can't make it, so I'll come with Xie Yujia."

"Ok. Zi's dad is busy today, so he won't be back. It's going to be the four of us," Zhao Hongyu said softly and hung up the phone.

Hao Ren thought back to Zhao Hongyu's tone and felt like the dinner might not be as complicated as he thought.

"What are your plans then?" Hao Ren asked the twins as he put his phone away.

"Hehe, we got an invitation too," Lu Linlin said.

They didn't want to tell him the details, so Hao Ren didn't push them. No one in the mortal world was able to bully them after all.

Hao Ren went to the bus stop at the school gate after sending Xie Yujia a message.

Soon, Xie Yujia arrived at the bus stop in her casual outfit.

"I thought you aren't coming," Xie Yujia relaxed and exhaled before speaking to Hao Ren.

"I didn't want to go, but Zi's mom invited me as well. It is just a meal, nothing else," Hao Ren laughed.

"Um!" Xie Yujia nodded. Zhao Yanzi held prejudice against her, but in her mind, Zhao Hongyu was a very gentle lady.

The bus came, and the door opened after breaking.

Hao Ren and Xie Yujia got on the bus.

Everything seemed normal, just like the natural change of seasons from spring to summer.

There were green buds slowly coming out of the tree branches on the roadside, and there were also flowers withering in the bushes.

"Such nice weather," Xie Yujia lightly sighed on her window seat.

"Yeah," Hao Ren answered casually.

The sky was clear, and the sun was giving out the last bit of warmth of the day.

High above the sky, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were flying inside their energy spheres, following a violet paper crane toward the direction of the ragged house.
