Chapter 188: Idiot in Life

Thud!

Xie Yujia who was sitting in the front row suddenly put down her ball-point pen and stood up.

She turned and walked toward the back, looking at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili coldly.

Sensing something was not right, the guys who were crowding around the back rows scattered.

"Sorry, but this is the class for Class Two only, and the class is about to begin. Please leave now," Xie Yujia said sternly as she walked over.

Lu Lili looked at her and backed off two steps, but Lu Linlin took one step forward. "That sounds weird. We just want to sit in on your class; it is bothering you?"

They glared at each other, and sparks flew between their eyes.

"I'm the Class President, and I asked you not to interfere with the order of our class," Xie Yujia said calmly, though everyone could see that she was angry.

"Weird. Does the school forbid other students from sitting in on a class?" Lu Linlin wouldn't back off. She continued to stare at Xie Yujia.

They had similar heights, so they faced each other with livid expressions, leveled.

This confrontation lasted only several seconds, and the guys had all settled down to watch how the drama would unfold. However, Hao Ren couldn't let it continue. He stood up immediately and pulled them apart.

"Ok! Stop it!"

"Gongzi! Look at her! She's so mean," Lu Linlin turned to him and complained.

Xie Yujia gritted her teeth and shook slightly with fury.

"Stop it. You guys should go. If you want to keep me company, please come when we're in a big classroom when multiple classes are present," sensing Xie Yujia's anger, Hao Ren said to Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.

"We didn't bother her. Why did she come over and mind your business?" Lu Linlin was stubborn, determined to fight with Xie Yujia.

"Lu Linlin! Lu Lili!" Xie Yujia couldn't contain her anger anymore. "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the Principal's granddaughters!"

Xie Yujia turned to Hao Ren, but before she could open her mouth, Lu Linlin said, "Oh, I get it. You like Gongzi, too, don't you?"

Xie Yujia's face fell, looking like she was about to lose her temper.

"Linlin! Lili!" Hao Ren's tone got stern. "Go back!"

Li Linlin looked stiff, and Lu Lili tugged at her lightly. "Sister, let it go."

Xie Yujia stood there and looked at them.

The guys froze with fear, and no one dared to utter a word.

In the past, Xie Yujia had always been calm and never lost her temper. However, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili seemed to have triggered something inside her.

Lu Linlin pulled Lu Lili out of the classroom. Before she left, she gave Xie Yujia a stare.

Xie Yujia didn't back off. She squinted her eyes and stared back.

The guys were excited since they had never seen two beauties fight over a guy.

Ding... The class bell rang.

Glancing at Hao Ren, Xie Yujia said to him, "Mr. Hao Ren, please conduct yourself!"

Then, she turned and walked to her seat in the front row.

In her white shirt and straight pants, Xie Yujia stomped away.

"You're finished. Finished!" Zhou Liren leaned over to Hao Ren and gloated over Hao Ren's misfortune.

The other guys were also excited. After all, it was quite a topic that Xie Yujia, the sister of the top figure Xie Wanjun, had a clash with Lu Qing's granddaughter during their class.

When the class ended, Xie Yujia, still angry, packed up her bag and left the classroom without a word. Ma Lina followed her immediately, probably trying to comfort her.

Hao Ren thought of sending her a text message or calling her but found both inadequate.

In the next few days, the atmosphere between Hao Ren and Xie Yujia was awkward, even more awkward than when Zhao Jiayi told her that Hao Ren liked her a while back. Even the girls in the class began to cast unfriendly glances at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren continued to tutor Zhao Yanzi each evening and cultivate the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. It seemed like nothing had changed; his cultivation progress was zero.

"This is the knot in my heart." Hao Ren couldn't sleep at night and found that he cared about Xie Yujia a lot.

Friday came, and the cold relationship between Hao Ren and Xie Yujia had no sign of thawing. She refused to return his text messages or answer his phone calls, and she ignored him when he walked over trying to talk to her.

Hao Ren had a taste of Xie Yujia's stubbornness.

When the last class ended, Xie Yujia picked up her things and walked out of the classroom. Ma Lina walked to Hao Ren's side and poked his forehead with her finger. "You idiot! Xie Yujia almost cried that day."

"Really? When?" Hao Ren was astonished.

"During class after the confrontation. Why did you think she was silent? She was trying to contain her tears!" Angry at the memory, Ma Lina hit his arm with her fist.

The punch was not forceful, but Hao Ren's heart ached.

Zhou Liren and the others had all gone out to watch Zhao Jiayi practice basketball. After Ma Lina left, Hao Ren was the only one in the classroom, picking up his stuff in slow motion.

The campus was quiet, except for the occasional yells of the students celebrating the end of the school week.

Hao Ren didn't know if Xie Yujia would go home and talk her heart out with that old Grandma, but he had no one to talk to. Not wanting to discuss such matter with Zhao Jiayi and his buddies, he had to mull over it himself. He was about to leave the classroom sullenly when he saw Su Han standing at the door in an indigo-colored shirt.

"Upset?" Su Han looked at him and asked.

"Relationship problems," Hao Ren answered.

"The love affairs of the mortals are of no interest to me." Su Han looked at him. "You come with me today. I need you to do me a favor."

Hao Ren couldn't refuse Su Han's request for help; he picked up his bag and walked to the door. Su Han turned and walked out with him.

Downstairs, Hao Ren started the Ferrari while Su Han got in the car.

When the car passed the basketball court, Huang Xujie, who was in his loose sports jersey, was drinking water at the sideline. When he saw Su Han in the passenger seat of Hao Ren's Ferrari, he choked on the water.

Hao Ren saw Huang Xujie as well. However, with his current strength, he no longer thought of Huang Xujie as his rival.

He stepped slightly on the gas pedal, and the Ferrari shot out of the school.

When they were out of the school, it occurred to Hao Ren that he hadn't asked Su Han where they were going.

"To my home in the Flower City on Plum Flower Road," Su Han said.

Hao Ren's heart lurched, not expecting that they would go to Su Han's home. Then, he remembered that Lu Qing also lived in Flower City.

While Su Han gave directions, Hao Ren drove the car steadily. People in the nearby cars all looked toward the dashing car and pretty Su Han in it.

After entering the high-end residential complex, Su Han directed Hao Ren to park the car in the underground parking lot. She took him into the elevator, which made Hao Ren feel very familiar.

Ding! The elevator reached the eighth floor. Hao Ren walked out of the elevator and saw Lu Qing's apartment. In this building, two apartments shared one floor. Su Han lived right across from Lu Qing!

Hao Ren had spent several nights in Lu Qing's place, and he had never imagined that Su Han was living next door.

Elder Lu Qing was indeed a master of public relations. He not only arranged for Lu Linlin and Lu Lili to live in his place to draw them over but also made Su Han, an Inspector, into a lecturer at his school. On top of that, he got her a place next door to him. He was doing everything he could to make friends for the benefit of East Ocean.

Unlocking the door, Su Han changed into her indoor slippers before walking into the apartment. The smooth wooden floor was spotless, and it mirrored Su Han's white and delicate ankles.

The facilities in the apartment were luxurious, including a super-sized flat screen TV and a huge chandelier. Next to the living room was Su Han's cultivation room which was connected to the balcony.

"What favor do you want me to do?" Hao Ren asked. He imagined that it must be some tricky task that even an Inspector couldn't handle.

Su Han handed a cup of tea to him before pointing upward. "A light bulb was burned out. Can you change a bulb for me?"

Hao Ren almost spat out the mouthful of tea he had just taken.

"I don't want mortals in here, and Lu Qing doesn't know how to do it either. So, I resort to you," Su Han explained lightly.

Hao Ren dried the corners of his mouth and put down the cup of tea he had been drinking. He walked to the door and found the switch before pressing them down. He placed a stool under the chandelier and stood up on it before unscrewing the broken bulb and replacing it with a new one.

His parents were usually not home, and his grandma used to let him do these odd jobs. So, Hao Ren was no stranger to this.

After Hao Ren changed the bulb and pushed up the switch, the new bulb blinked twice and was on. Jumping down from the stool, he asked, "Anything else I can do for you?"

"The kitchen sink is clogged. You may help me unblock it," Su Han responded.

"She is... Quite demanding," Hao Ren thought and sighed before going to the kitchen. He turned on the water and found that the drainage was clogged up. He bent down and pulled out the tube before cleaning the dirty stuff off it.

While he was washing the dirty stuff off his hands, he looked back at her and asked, "Anything else?"

"The dryer rack on the balcony is loose. Can you fix it?" Su Han asked.

Sighing slightly, Hao Ren walked through Su Han's spacious bedroom and got to the connecting balcony to check the dryer rack. Seeing that some screws on the rack were loose, he asked her for the tools and tightened the screws.

"Anything else?" Hao Ren asked her in exasperation. Su Han was obviously like an idiot in ordinary life despite her talent in cultivation.

"That's all. I will cook us some dinner," Su Han said.

Looking at this woman who was extraordinarily beautiful, Hao Ren shook his head immediately and said, "No, thanks."

"Who would dare to eat dinner cooked by someone who couldn't even handle these small jobs in her daily life?" he thought.

"This is our dinner." Su Han dug out two packs of instant noodle from the refrigerator and tossed one at Hao Ren.

"By the way, do you want to join our Inspector System?" Su Han asked abruptly.
