“For me…” Hao Ren looked at the door of the classroom in bafflement.

Xie Yujia blinked in confusion as well.

The teacher gestured to Hao Ren, saying that he could go out. Then, Hao Ren stood up and walked out of the classroom.

The teacher who called Hao Ren out turned and walked into the nearby teachers’ lounge.

It was close to the end of the class, and Hao Ren wondered who would want to see him at this time. If it were someone he knew, the person could have called him through his cell phone…

Hao Ren strode out of this academic building by walking down the stairs.

Standing outside of the building was a girl with heavy makeup. She was wearing a milky white skirt and a vibrant blouse. Pale-skinned, her eyes were big, and her eyelashes were long.

“Hello! Do you remember me? I gave you a postcard last time!” When Hao Ren came out, she waved her hand.

“Who are you…” Hao Ren asked without thinking.

“Jiang Yuan from the Arts Program; I gave you a postcard and invited you to my art exhibition.” She slanted her head and looked at Hao Ren before saying, “You can be my boyfriend!”

At her reminder, Hao Ren remembered that some girls had given him love letters when he became the president of the Calligraphy Club, and Jiang Yuan from the Arts Program had given him a postcard and her cell phone number.

Hao Ren never liked girls with heavy makeup, and he felt nothing for her. He was a bit displeased to be called out from his class.

“I thought something important happened…” Hao Ren thought.

“I asked a teacher to call you out to talk about the art exhibition at noon. The school is quite serious about my art exhibition,” Jiang Yuan said proudly.

Among many students in East Ocean University, lots of them were talented in arts. However, it was said that Jiang Yuan was a disciple of an oil painting master, which was why she had received awards in national contests.

If Hao Ren hadn’t become the president of the Calligraphy Club, she would never have noticed him.

In fact, Jiang Yuan didn’t care about the popular guys in the school. However, Hao Ren looked more handsome than Huang Xujie, and she thought it would be nice to make him her boyfriend, obtaining a short love life during her university days.

She thought that she would achieve great things in the future and wouldn’t marry a guy like Hao Ren after graduation. She could imagine how Hao Ren would feel several years later when he saw that his former girlfriend received international awards on TV.

“Do you… have anything else to say?” Hao Ren asked her.

“Huh?” Jiang Yuan froze for a moment and replied, “I said you could be my boyfriend.”

“Any guy should be excited when I choose him to be my boyfriend. However, this Hao Ren is showing no response,” she thought.

“Not interested,” Hao Ren answered frankly.

Jiang Yuan was stupefied. She had thought that he hadn’t answered when she gave him the postcard last time because of the presence of his girlfriend. However, they were alone this time.

Any guy would be tempted if he received Jiang Yuan’s postcard and got asked to be her boyfriend even if he already had a girlfriend. Jiang Yuan guessed that Hao Ren had had an unsettling weekend.

After all, he had to choose between his current ordinary, pretty girlfriend and her, a star in school who was both beautiful and talented.

In fact, Hao Ren’s weekend was indeed eventful, but it had nothing to do with Jiang Yuan.

After receiving Jiang Yuan’s postcard, he had immediately dumped it into the garbage can and totally forgot about her.

“This weekend, I’m going to the big valley to paint. You can go with me. Just the two of us,” Jiang Yuan continued.

She didn’t believe that she couldn’t get Hao Ren.

In her eyes, Hao Ren was handsome and had many followers. He had become a legendary figure especially after he had struck down the entire soccer team.

Jiang Yuan thought it would be interesting to take Hao Ren as her boyfriend.

“If that’s all you want, I’ll go back to my class.” Feeling bored, Hao Ren turned around and walked into the academic building.

Jiang Yuan had never expected such a scene. In her mind, guys were all players and would immediately dump their present girlfriends to be her boyfriend.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

In her pale blue school uniform, Zhao Yanzi hummed a song while she skipped toward Hao Ren’s academic building.

She had seen Hao Ren’s schedule and knew where his classes were on Monday. Since lunch break in LingZhao Middle School started earlier than that of East Ocean University, she came over to see Hao Ren.

“Humph! He stared at me when I was doing the morning exercise! I will eat a lot of food and make him pay! This will be a lesson for him!” Zhao Yanzi thought.

When she got close to the academic building, she grew wary seeing Hao Ren talking with a pretty girl. She ran over quickly.

Hao Ren was about to enter the building when he saw Zhao Yanzi running over. He called out in embarrassment, “Zi!”

He wondered how Zhao Yanzi, a jealous girl, would think when she saw another girl talking to him.

Jiang Yuan turned and saw Zhao Yanzi as well.

“Your cousin? So cute!” Jiang Yuan said to Hao Ren. She was standing on the steps, and she tried to reach out and touch Zhao Yanzi’s head as she said that.

Jiang Yuan had heard about Hao Ren’s ‘cousin.’ It was said that he had fought with hooligans at the entrance of the middle school for his little cousin, showing his affection for her.

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s hand reaching out for her, Zhao Yanzi took two steps back immediately and looked at her cautiously. “Who are you?”

From any perspective, this small-sized girl who was in calico clothes was a beauty, but Zhao Yanzi wouldn’t allow a stranger to touch her head.

“I’m…” Jiang Yuan looked at Hao Ren and continued, “Your cousin’s new girlfriend.”

Hao Ren widened his eyes at her words…

“Trouble!” he thought.

Sure enough, Zhao Yanzi glared at Jiang Yuan viciously, wondering where this errant girl came from while she had her hands full dealing with Xie Yujia.

“He’s not my cousin; he’s my fiancé!” Zhao Yanzi glared at Jiang Yuan and emphasized each word.

She must declare her identity. Otherwise, there would be more girls coming at Hao Ren, which was Zhao Yanzi’s biggest worry!

She was worried about Xie Yujia before, but now she wondered why she couldn’t guard Hao Ren properly!

Although LingZhao Middle School was only across the street from East Ocean University, she couldn’t guard Hao Ren 24/7.

“The Lu sisters let Hao Ren do everything he wants, and only Xie Yujia…” While Zhao Yanzi was thinking, Xie Yujia appeared.

“Hao Ren! Are you ok?” Xie Yujia walked out of the academic building.

Concerned about Hao Ren, she sat in the classroom for a while and decided to come out to check on him.

Subdued by Zhao Yanzi, Jiang Yuan was stupefied at the sight of Xie Yujia.

Xie Yujia looked more beautiful than last time, overshadowing her despite her careful makeup!

“What is it?” Xie Yujia looked at Jiang Yuan and asked.

Her voice was soft, but Jiang Yuan was speechless, stunned by the presence of the girl whom she thought was ordinary!

Women were wary of each other. Although Hao Ren didn’t remember Jiang Yuan, Xie Yujia had a good memory of the pretty girl who gave Hao Ren her cell phone number.

“Nothing. She invited us to the art exhibition,” Hao Ren said.

Jiang Yuan’s expression changed. She had come to invite Hao Ren specifically, but Hao Ren made it sound like her art exhibition was so unpopular that she had come to try and draw people to see it.

“Art exhibition! Ok! Let’s go see it!” Zhao Yanzi immediately jumped up and said.

When Hao Ren had first become her fiancé, no one cared for him but Xie Yujia. Now that Hao Ren turned excellent, all the girls tried to get him. This fact displeased Zhao Yanzi greatly.

“Good. The exhibition is about to begin in the Arts Building. You’re all welcome to see it,” Jiang Yuan said.

Finding this middle-schooler was fresh and cute, Jiang Yuan wondered if Hao Ren truly had two girlfriends.

“My teachers are about to arrive, and I’ll need to go and greet them.” With an embarrassed smile, Jiang Yuan walked toward the Arts Building.

She suddenly realized that Hao Ren was not as simple as she had imagined.

“However, no matter how popular he is in school, he will never match my achievement as a bright star in the art circle. He will regret his decision!” she thought.

Seeing Jiang Yuan walking away slowly, Zhao Yanzi suddenly turned to Hao Ren and pinched his arm with her right hand.

“Ouch!” Hao Ren yelled in pain.

Without nature essence, he was still stronger than ordinary people but was no longer as strong as iron. Comparatively, Zhao Yanzi was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, and her pinch hurt him so much that he felt as if his heart would jump out.

That section of His arm immediately turned purple.

“Are… you ok?” Zhao Yanzi who was feeling jealous a moment ago looked remorseful when she saw Hao Ren’s arm turn purple.

“Due to the physical transformation initiated by Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, Hao Ren doesn’t have any nature essence this week,” Xie Yujia explained and took out ointment to apply onto Hao Ren’s arm.

“Oh… I didn’t know…” Zhao Yanzi looked sad.

When she pinched Hao Ren in the past, she could only inflict a small red patch on his skin, and he didn’t feel a thing. That would infuriate her so much that she wanted to bit him.

This time when she truly hurt him, she ached inside but didn’t want to show her feelings as Xie Yujia did.

Seeing her remorseful and stubborn face, Hao Ren shook his head helplessly and said, “You hurt me. No paying for your lunch anymore!”

“Ah! You can’t do this!” Zhao Yanzi immediately stood taller.

Seeing them bicker, Xie Yujia smiled and suddenly felt like she was an outsider.

“Maybe Hao Ren only remembers me when he’s not with Zhao Yanzi…” she thought.

“Yujia, how about going to the art exhibition instead of going back to the class?” Hao Ren asked her suddenly.

“Erm. Ok.” Xie Yujia didn’t like skipping class, but she nodded since she was embarrassed to return to class after running out of the classroom.

Besides, she wouldn’t be able to concentrate on the lesson anyways.

Zhao Yanzi wanted to find something to do to kill time during the lunch break and experience university life, so she went with them.

Jiang Yuan’s art exhibition was in the hall on the first floor in the Arts Building, a bit smaller in scale compared with the exhibition that Qin Shaoyang had in the library.

However, it was extraordinary for a student to hold an individual art exhibition in the school.

Jiang Yuan’s teacher had arrived; he was an old man in his sixties. Keeping him company, Jiang Yuan lifted her head proudly when she saw Hao Ren.

The achievements of this ‘new star’ Jiang Yuan were the result of her teacher’s efforts. Her teacher had contacted many seniors in the art circle to visit the small exhibition, which was a great honor for Jiang Yuan.

The professors of the Arts Program and the university officials also came by to greet this old painting master.

Jiang Yuan was the focus of the exhibition.

Standing before the seniors, she looked very humble. However, she couldn’t conceal her pride and smugness when she met the gazes of the other students.

Since the exhibition was free, many students came to see it. Some of them were students of the Arts Program who came to see the paintings while the students from the other programs were here to see Jiang Yuan, the famous painter who was beautiful.

“Ren! Ren”

Zhou Liren’s scream sounded in the quiet exhibition room.

Hao Ren turned his head and saw Zhou Liren and the other guys had also come here.

However, Zhou Liren looked around while he waved, showing that he wasn’t here to see the paintings.

Since there were many pretty girls in the Arts Program, Zhou Liren had come to the art exhibition to admire them.

Hearing Zhou Liren’s shout, Jiang Yuan looked toward Hao Ren, and her interest in him immediately dimmed when she saw that he was friends with vulgar and ordinary guys.

Someone like her had never had to interact with average students. If Hao Ren became her boyfriend, she would just go out with Hao Ren alone and wouldn’t deal with these loud and vulgar friends of his.

“Hehe, you guys are here, too,” Xie Yujia greeted Zhao Jiayi and the others warmly.

Jiang Yuan looked away slowly.

“Humph! They are just ordinary people. I thought Hao Ren is different! As a future star, I lost my mind and fell for such a small figure who is just the talk of the school…” she thought.

Looking at a senior painter beside her, she smiled sweetly and asked, “Mr. Sun, would you take a look at this painting…”

Feeling all the people looking at her, she felt extremely content as if a bright road full of starry light was spreading before her, and her dazzling light overshadowed the small figures such as Hao Ren.

Hua… hua…

Suddenly, the crowd in the exhibition hall moved in agitation.

“Song Qingya! The big singer Song Qingya is in our school!”

“Erm?” Jiang Yuan was confused, wondering if Song Qingya was on the guest list of her teacher.
