“Lil Hao!” Bro Dazhu and his wife also greeted him.
“Congratulations!” Tang Hao said.
Shi Dazhu laughed. He took the baby from Grandpa’s hands and placed him in Tang Hao’s arms. “Here, let your Uncle carry you, my dear Yi’er.”
Tang Hao laughed drily when he heard “Uncle”.
Before he knew it, he was already someone else’s elder.
He looked at the cute baby in his arms. His features were delicate.
“Good Yi’er. Here, let Uncle give you something,” Tang Hao said as he took out a jade pendant and placed it in the baby’s hand.
“Oh, you shouldn’t have, Lil Hao!” Dazhu quickly pushed his hand away.
“Don’t worry! It’s just a small gift.” Tang Hao insisted on giving the baby the pendant. “Let him wear this, and he’ll grow up safe and healthy.”
“Thank you, Lil Hao,” Dazhu said after Tang Hao did not allow him to decline the gift.
Gao Ying also thanked Tang Hao for the pendant.
Tang Hao gave the baby back to the couple and sat down next to his grandparents. They chatted for a while.
After that, he went to Yan’er’s house.
“Brother Hao! Brother Hao!”
Yan’er happily ran down the stairs when she knew that Tang Hao was there to visit her.
She was casually dressed in a white T-shirt and shorts.
“Look at this, Brother Hao, I’ve just received my letter of acceptance.” She took out a letter from behind her. It had the Z University emblem on it.
“I’ll still be your junior!” Yan’er smiled sweetly.
“Silly girl…” Tang Hao chuckled.
Yan’er obtained excellent results in the gaokao. She could have gone to the two major universities in the Capital, but she chose Z University anyway.
“There’s still another month before the semester starts. Enjoy yourself in the meantime. I’ll fetch you to school by then!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
“Mm!” Yan’er nodded.
“Right, this is for you.” Tang Hao gave her a small box that contained a Jade Bone Pill, then explained its functions to her.
“It’s that amazing? Thank you, Brother Hao!”
Yan’er’s bright eyes sparkled with excitement. She smiled, tiptoed, and pecked Tang Hao on his cheek.
She smiled bashfully and ran back upstairs.
Zhang Hongfang witnessed all that from the kitchen. She smiled and mumbled, “That girl has finally become brave.”
After saying goodbye to his grandparents and Shi Dazhu, Tang Hao left Dragonrock Village.
When he returned to the city, he looked at his watch and realized that it was almost lunchtime.
He took out his phone, found Liu Bingyao’s number, hesitated for a while, but eventually dialed it.
“Hello!” Liu Bingyao’s gentle and sweet voice was heard over the phone.
“Are you free? Can we have lunch together?”
“Mm!” She immediately agreed without thinking.
After a brief pause, she continued, “But you’ll have to wait for me for a while… I’m still lazing in bed!” She said rather embarrassedly.
Tang Hao went to her house. She came out after about twenty minutes.
She had spent some time dressing up. She wore a white dress which revealed her long and slender legs and a pair of crystal high heels.
She was indescribably beautiful, like a fairy that descended from the heavens.
“Tang Hao!” She called his name as she got close.
Tang Hao opened the car door for her, then sat in the driver’s seat.
“New Magical Kitchen?”
Liu Bingyao shook her head. “How about we go somewhere else? We’ve been there before, the one where I bought you lunch.”
Tang Hao thought for a while and remembered which one it was.
“Alright!”
He started the car and drove there.
Liu Bingyao, sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head, and stared at Tang Hao.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed dejected.
‘We rarely meet, but every time we do, he seems so distant.’
She was smart enough to know what was going on, and that had caused her worries.
‘Should I be a little more daring?
‘Would that be inappropriate?’
Her brows were subconsciously furrowed even more tightly as she struggled internally.
Eventually, she arrived at a conclusion. ‘Perhaps it’s best to remain in our current situation! I’m happy enough if I get to look at him.’
She felt much better after arriving at that thought.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Hao asked when he saw that she was looking at him intently.
“It’s nothing!” She lifted her chin and smiled.
The gloom on her brows cleared up once she smiled. Her eyes were curved like crescent moons.
“I can’t wait for lunch. Ah, right! We rarely go out together. How about you accompany me on a shopping trip, just like last time?” She said coyly.
“Alright!” Tang Hao agreed to it.
After lunch, they walked down the street for the next few hours.
Tang Hao sent her home and gave her a Jade Bone Pill.
Chapter 524 - New Semester
The next month passed in the blink of an eye.
In that month, Tang Hao made pills, crafted talismans, and took care of his businesses at his leisure. It was quite relaxing.
He sold many more talismans to Mao Mountain and the suckers from Dragon Tiger Mountain. He made a lot of money.
Grandpa Shunde’s health was failing. Tang Hao went to visit several times.
Very soon, the new semester at Z University started.
That morning, Tang Hao had breakfast together with Qin Xiangyi.
After breakfast, she went into her room to dress up.
She soon came out, dressed in a long black dress.
“How do I look?” She turned around and presented herself to Tang Hao.
The hem of her dress fluttered and her long and slender legs underneath were revealed.
“Wow!” Tang Hao exclaimed, “You look amazing!”
…
She looked at her watch and exclaimed in surprise, “It’s almost ten o’clock!” She also looked at Tang Hao resentfully.
Tang Hao smiled sheepishly.
“Let’s go quickly! I have a lot of work in the factory!” Qin Xiangyi straightened her clothes and wore her high heels at the entrance.
She took her handbag and prepared to get out of the house.
She turned around abruptly, as though she just remembered something, then leaned close and pecked Tang Hao on the cheek.
“Remember, come home more often! You can go now!”
She smiled brilliantly at Tang Hao before she turned around, rode in her sports car, and left for her factory.
After Tang Hao saw her off, he returned to his house and packed his belongings.
He rode in his car and drove to Dragonrock Village.
Yan’er and her family had been waiting for him.
Yan’er was dressed in a delicate yet elegant black pleated skirt. Her hair fell naturally on her shoulders. She looked like a princess.
She wore a pink backpack. Next to her was a huge luggage bag.
“I leave my daughter in your hands now, Lil Hao. That girl has never gone out of Westridge, and she’ll need a lot of help in the big city. Please take good care of her,” Shi Xuefeng told Tang Hao.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hongfang was whispering into Yan’er’s ear. She glanced at Tang Hao occasionally.
Yan’er was blushing as she listened to her mother.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her,” Tang Hao said with a smile.
“That’s good. Alright, get going, my daughter!” Shi Xuefeng said, “Remember, you’ll have to study hard when you’re there. Don’t only think of partying, understand?”
“Yes, Dad!”
Yan’er replied to her father and sat in the car.
After leaving Dragonrock Village, Tang Hao went to the company to pick up Han Yutong.
“Big Sis Han!” Yan’er greeted Han Yutong sweetly.
She had met Brother Hao’s assistant several times and knew who she was.
Three hours later, they arrived at Provincial City. He first sent Han Yutong to her house, then drove to Z University.
Enrollment Day was a momentous event at Z University. A dazzling array of banners adorned the front gate. Cars were overflowing from the parking lot, and people were everywhere. Some of them were students, but more of them were parents.
A long row of tables was placed next to the entrance. There were students wearing name tags sitting behind them. They were volunteers to help the new students.
Students and parents crowded the other side of the tables.
It was an incredibly lively scene.
“Wow!” Yan’er exclaimed when she saw that.
Tang Hao looked around in front of them. “You can go out of the car first, Yan’er, you should know where to go. I’ll go park the car and come look for you.”
“Don’t worry. It’s just reporting in, right? That’s easy!” Yan’er said smugly.
Tang Hao stopped the car, and Yan’er got out. She waved at Tang Hao, then walked forward with her backpack.
A group of people sat in a row not far away.
Their eyes were wide open and scanning the crowd with perverted expressions on their faces.
Similar groups of people were situated throughout the campus. They were on the hunt for beautiful freshmen girls.
They were extremely excited every Enrollment Day. Every cohort of new students meant that there were new girls for them to flirt with.
“Ah, junior sisters! My fresh, innocent junior sisters! Where are you? Your senior brother is looking for you!”
They mumbled to themselves while wandering amid the crowd.
“Look at her. She’s not bad, right? Wow, those legs are fair and long!”
Someone pointed at a girl and shouted.
The people looked at where he was pointing and exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s a six, just by the legs alone!”
“She’s more than a six, maybe a seven.”
They discussed among each other.
“How crass!”
Fang Qiming was behind them. He was cursing while dragging a cigarette.
“There’s nothing good about this batch. They’re all crass and tacky!” He spoke softly.
“Ah, your standards are too high, Council President. We’re happy with fives!” Someone turned around and said.
“Yes, you shouldn’t lower yourself to our standards!” Tang Bowen said.
They turned to look at the crowd again.
“No, I can’t take it anymore! Why are the girls so well-fed nowadays?”
“Wow, another pair of long legs! F*ck, her face though! I can only look at her from the back!”
They were very excited as they continued to look at the freshmen.
At that moment, a figure walked into view.
Her slender body, pure face, and waterfall-like hair that danced in the wind were breath-taking.
As she walked among the crowd, the people around her turned to stare. She carried a pure and gentle air. It was like a drug like no male could resist.
The group of perverted male students trembled violently, as though they were struck by lightning.
They were dumbfounded. Then, they subconsciously stood up.
Fang Qiming’s eyes went round and wide when he saw her. His jaw dropped, and the cigarette in his mouth fell out.
Chapter 525 - Where’s the Justice
The beautiful figure walked amid the crowd.
She was pure and beautiful like no other.
The row of people was dumbstruck as they looked at her.
“F… f*ck! That’s what you call a beautiful girl!” Fang Qiming came to his senses and shouted agitatedly. His eyes were transfixed on that girl.
The other boys around him carried the same infatuated expression.
“Oh my god, she’s too beautiful and pure!”
“Beauty queen! She’s on the level of a beauty queen!”
Their eyes were sparkling.
They were not only the ones who were excited looking at the girl. Even the volunteers wearing name tags were jostling among each other to be the one to serve her.
“Go away! I was the one who saw her first…”
“Nonsense! I’m the one who saw her first. What if you scare her away with that ugly face of yours?”
They shoved each other and nearly broke out fighting.
Yan’er was shocked when she saw the scene.
The commotion soon spread through the entire campus.
“Beauty queen? There’s a new beauty queen?”
Waves of male students rushed from all corners of the university. They were very excited.
For many male university students, the beauty queen of the university was the girl of their dreams.
A year ago, Liu Bingyao’s arrival at the university had caused a massive traffic jam.
Unfortunately, Liu Bingyao already had a boyfriend. Moreover, her boyfriend was incredibly powerful and rich, and no student could hope to defeat him.
Now that there was going to be a new beauty queen, that was good news for all the male students!
They looked around the crowd carrying expectant and excited expressions. They were dumbstruck when their eyes fell on that beautiful figure.
When they came to their senses, they let out a collective exclamation.
“Oh my god! She’s really as beautiful as Beauty Queen Liu!”
“Haha! God bless Z University!”
The people rushed toward her.
“Hello, Junior Sister, what’s your name, and which faculty are you in? Let’s exchange phone numbers. You can count on me if you need any help!”
“Junior Sister! How about I’ll give you a private tour of the campus? We can talk about love… ah, no, I mean, talk about your ambitions.”
Yan’er was shocked by the welcome she received. She reflexively took a backward step.
She did not expect that her appearance would cause such a big commotion.
“Excuse me, make way!”
A yell was heard from beyond the crow. After that were the ear-piercing sounds of a car horn.
The crowd parted, and a cool sports car slowly rolled toward Yan’er.
The car stopped, and Fang Qiming stepped out.
Somehow, he had changed into a black suit and styled his hair with mousse. He stood upright, and his hair gleamed under the late morning sun. There was no other male as cool as him.
After he got out of the car, he bent over to look into the side-view mirror and tidied his hair. Then, he stood up straight once more and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. “Good day to you, Junior Sister! My name is Fang Qiming, and I am the president of the Student Council!”
He flashed a confident grin.
‘This junior sister should be going crazy over my Lamborghini and my title as the Student Council President now!
‘Hmm, it might be love at first sight, too!
‘Right, this is how a man should impress a girl! Catch her by surprise, leave a lasting impression on her, then strike while the iron is hot!’
He was quite proud of himself when he thought of that.
‘I, Fang Qiming, am an expert in flirting!’
However, his expression soon turned awkward. The junior sister stared at him blankly. There was no hint of admiration, much less love.
“Oh,” she said.
Fang Qiming was feeling embarrassed.
‘The plan didn’t seem to work!
‘I wonder what’s the problem?
‘Any girl, no matter how pretty they might be, would at least show some excitement when they see a handsome man with a cool sports car, right?�
��
“Ahem! What’s your name, Junior Sister?”
Fang Qiming changed his strategy. He decided to play the friendly and helpful senior.
Yan’er took one step backward and looked warily at him.
‘He must be a bad guy!’ She thought.
“Don’t be shy, Junior Sister! Let me bring you around the campus today. If you have any problems, you can come and look for me. There’s nothing that I, Fang Qiming, can’t solve in Z University,” Fang Qiming said magnanimously while thumping his chest.
“There’s… no need! I’m just here to report in,” Yan’er said weakly, “Also, someone is coming along with me. I’ll be fine.”
“Someone accompanied you here?” Fang Qiming was surprised. He then continued excitedly, “Are they your parents? That’s even better!”
Yan’er nearly rolled her eyes when she heard that.
She was about to say something when an aluminum can sailed across the air and struck Fang Qiming on the head.
“Ouch!” Fang Qiming yelped in pain and was instantly furious.
“Who is it? Who threw a can at me?” He glared at the people around him.
“It’s not me, Council President Fang!”
“It’s not me either!”
Whenever Fang Qiming’s eyes fell on someone, they frantically waved their hands and shook their heads.
Fang Qiming was one of the VIP students at Z University. Who would dare to cross him?
“If it’s not you guys, then who is it?” Fang Qiming said angrily while rubbing his forehead.
“It’s me!” Someone yelled loudly. The crowd parted and Tang Hao walked in.
Everyone was instantly excited.
“It’s Tang Hao! My idol is here!”
Fang Qiming’s face turned red with anger. “Why did you throw a can at me, Tang kid? Did I offend you somehow? Let me tell you, don’t disturb me. I’m trying to help out this junior sister here!”
He then turned to look at Yan’er.
