Chapter 620 - You, a Nobody!
give him a favor since making one dharma treasure is no big deal for Master Prisoner. But since he wasn't there and the attendant didn't want to put in effort to refine it, they could only make an emp...Chapter 620: You, a Minor Character!
Looking for me...
Hao Ren looked at the classroom door in confusion.
Xie Yujia blinked, also somewhat puzzled.
The teacher teaching the class made a gesture to Hao Ren, indicating that he could leave. So Hao Ren got up and left through the classroom door.
The teacher who called for Hao Ren turned around and entered the adjacent teachers' lounge.
There was still half a class before recess. Hao Ren wondered who would come looking for him at this time, and if it were someone he knew, couldn't they just call...
Hao Ren ran quickly down the stairs to the outside of the teaching building.
Standing outside the building was a makeup-wearing girl wearing a cream-colored skirt and a colorful printed shirt. Her skin was fair and her eyes were big, with long mascara applied to her eyelashes.
"Hello! Do you remember me I'm the one who gave you that postcard last time!" She waved at Hao Ren when she saw him come out.
"Who are you..." Hao Ren blurted out his question reflexively.
"I'm Jiang Yuan from the Academy of Fine Arts. Last time, I sent you a postcard inviting you to my art exhibition." She tilted her head and looked at Hao Ren. "Will you be my boyfriend"
Upon being reminded by her, Hao Ren remembered that when he became president of the Calligraphy Club, some girls did send him letters of affection. Jiang Yuan from the Fine Arts Academy had also sent a postcard with her phone number included.
If one were to look at appearances alone, Jiang Yuan was indeed quite pretty, and especially talented as an artist, being recognized as a prodigy in their school.
However... Hao Ren didn't like women wearing heavy makeup. Also, he wasn't feeling very well after being called out during class time.
I thought it would be something important...
"I asked the teacher to bring you out here because I wanted to tell you about my exhibition today. This personal art show of mine has received quite a bit of attention from the school," Jiang Yuan said smugly.
Along both sides of the school road were hanging promotional banners, and a long vertical banner was draped from the roof in the Fine Arts building area.
Xiangdong University had many students with talent, but Jiang Yuan supposedly was taken under the wing of an oil painting master, thus she won awards frequently in various domestic competitions.
She would never have noticed Hao Ren before, but when he suddenly became president of the Calligraphy Club, it caught her attention.
In reality, the school's top figures didn't matter to Jiang Yuan. However, compared with Huang Xujie, Hao Ren seemed more approachable and she thought she could possibly date him for a short period during college.
From her perspective, she was destined for great success in the future; after graduation, there was no way she would marry someone like Hao Ren. But by dating him, it would add some color to campus life—she could imagine Hao Ren sitting in front of his TV several years later, watching as his ex-girlfriend won an international award.
To be the former boyfriend of a superstar wouldn't be a waste of her life either. She would just leave behind a memorable chapter in this man's heart.
"Is there anything else" Hao Ren asked when he saw the sparkle in her eyes.
“Hmm” Jiang Yuan was taken aback, "I'm saying you can be my boyfriend."
She, Jiang Yuan, inviting a guy to date her; shouldn't this boy be ecstatic Why was Hao Ren showing no reaction at all
"No interest," Hao Ren replied directly.
Jiang Yuan was completely stunned. If he hadn’t responded right away last time because his girlfriend was present, why not now that she had personally invited him out here
Receiving Jing Yuan's postcard asking for a relationship, even if he has a girlfriend, Hao Ren would be conflicted and心動for a while. Jing Yuan guessed that Hao Ren must have had an uneasy weekend—between his ordinary beautiful girlfriend and herself, the campus star with both beauty and talent, there surely was a process of choice.
In fact, Hao Ren's weekend was indeed not very peaceful, but it had nothing to do with Jing Yuan. As soon as he received her postcard, he threw it in the trash bin, completely forgetting about her.
"I'm going to the Grand Canyon for inspiration this weekend for two days. Would you like to accompany me Just the two of us," said Jing Yuan again.
She didn't believe she couldn't win Hao Ren over.
In terms of looks, Hao Ren was quite good-looking too; he had a certain status on campus and became legendary after single-handedly defeating their entire football team.
Jing Yuan felt that dating with Hao Ren should be interesting.
"There's nothing much happening. I'll go back to class," said Hao Ren, slightly bored, turning around to enter the teaching building.
Never in her wildest dreams did Jing Yuan expect this scenario; she thought these men were all fickle and if they could date her, what would their previous girlfriends mean
"Ding ding ding, ding ding ding..."
Zhao Yanzhu, wearing a light blue school uniform, whistling a tune, approached Hao Ren's teaching building with bouncy steps.
She had seen Hao Ren's schedule and knew where he was having his lessons on Monday. The lunch break at Lingzhao High School started earlier than that of Donghai University, so she could come over to find Hao Ren just right then.
Hmph! Hao Ren peeked at her while she did calisthenics today; she would give him a taste of his own medicine!
However, as soon as she approached the teaching building, she saw Hao Ren talking with a pretty girl. Her caution immediately went up and she hurriedly ran over.
Hao Ren was about to enter the building when he suddenly saw Zhao Yanzhu running towards him; it felt awkward for him to call out her name: "Zi!"
He was being harassed by a girl at the school entrance, and didn't know how Zhao Yanzhu would think of it!
Jing Yuan turned around and saw Zhao Yanzhu too.
"Isn't she your sister So cute!" said Jing Yuan to Hao Ren.
She was standing on the stairs, reaching out while saying this to touch Zhao Yanzhu's head.
Zhao Yanzhu had heard of Hao Ren’s little cousin, and knew he fought a fight outside Lingzhao High School for her. She clearly saw Hao Ren very affectionate towards his young cousin.
Seeing the girl reach out to her, Zhao Yanzhu immediately took two steps back, looking at Jing Yuan warily: "Who are you"
No matter from which angle, this petite beauty in a floral top was indeed beautiful. However, Zhao Yanzhu would never let strangers touch her head.
"I am… your brother's new girlfriend," said Jing Yuan to Hao Ren.
Hearing that, Hao Ren immediately widened his eyes… trouble.
Indeed, Zhao Yanzhu’s eyes narrowed angrily. She had already been bothered enough by dealing with Xie Yujia; how could there be another wild girl
"He is not my brother but my fiancé!" said Zhao Yanzhu to Jing Yuan, pronouncing each word clearly.
This identity was very important and must be straightened out. Otherwise more and more girls would bother Hao Ren; this was the thing Zhao Yanzhu worried about most!
Suddenly, Xie Yujia appeared.
"Hao Ren! Are you okay" Xie Yujia walked out from the school building's entrance.
She was really worried about Hao Ren. After sitting in the classroom for a while, she couldn't help but come out to see what had happened.
Jiang Yuan was intimidated by Zhao Yanzi and then saw Xie Yujia appear suddenly. She was momentarily stunned.
Xie Yujia looked even more beautiful today than the last time Jiang Yuan had seen her, making herself look like a mere backdrop despite all her efforts to dress up.
"What's going on" Xie Yujia asked, looking at Jiang Yuan in front of Hao Ren.
Her voice was soft, but it stunned Jiang Yuan into silence. She didn't know what to say. This girl she thought was ordinary had such a strong presence!
A woman's intuition is sharp. Although Hao Ren couldn't remember Jiang Yuan, Xie Yujia remembered this beautiful lady who had given her phone number very clearly.
"Nothing much, just invited us to see the art exhibition." Hao Ren said.
Jiang Yuan's expression changed. She had only invited Hao Ren alone, but now it seemed as though no one was coming to view her exhibition and she had personally come to invite him.
"Art Exhibition! Great! Let's go see!" Zhao Yanzi immediately jumped up and said.
When Hao Ren first became her fiancé, everyone except Xie Yujia despised him. Now that he was getting better, all these lesser ladies were popping up, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Great! The art exhibition is almost starting, it's in the Fine Arts Building. Welcome to come and visit." Jiang Yuan found an excuse and said smoothly.
She was a bit unclear about Hao Ren’s background now. After carefully observing this young middle school beauty, she thought she seemed very pure and lovely. Could Hao Ren really have two girlfriends
"My teachers are coming too, I need to go greet them," Jiang Yuan smiled awkwardly and walked towards the Fine Arts College's independent building.
She suddenly realized that Hao Ren was not as simple as she had thought he was. But no matter how famous he might become in school, it could never compare with her status as a rising star on the art scene. He would definitely regret it!
Seeing Jiang Yuan walk away slowly, Zhao Yanzi suddenly turned to Hao Ren and lifted her right hand, twisting his arm hard.
"Ah!" Hao Ren cried out in pain.
He had lost all of his spirit energy now, although he was still physically stronger than ordinary people. He wasn't as invulnerable as before, however. In contrast, Zhao Yanzi was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage; this twist made him feel like his heart would jump out.
Hao Ren's arm immediately turned purple and bruised.
"You... are you okay" Zhao Yanzi, who had previously been furious, instantly felt very remorseful when she saw Hao Ren’s skin turn purple.
"Hao Ren has undergone physical modifications by Lu Linlin and Lu Lili this week, so he doesn't have any spirit energy." Xie Yujia explained while applying ointment to Hao Ren's arm.
"Ah... I didn't know..." Zhao Yanzi frowned, pulling her head down.
Previously, twisting Hao Ren would only leave a small red mark; he wouldn’t even feel pain. This made Zhao Yanzi so angry that she wanted to bite him… but now that she had really injured him, she was heartbroken and couldn't show it like Xie Yujia.
Hao Ren looked at her guilty face unwilling to apologize and shook his head helplessly, "Since you hurt me, I won't treat you to lunch!"
"Ah! How can this be!" Zhao Yanzi immediately straightened up.
Xie Yujia saw them bickering and smiled. Suddenly she felt like an outsider again.
Perhaps only when Hao Ren isn’t with Zhao Yanzi does he remember me…
"Ruijia, let's not go back to the classroom. Shall we go and see an art exhibition instead" Hao Ren suddenly asked Xie Ruijia.
"Sure." Xie Ruijia was not used to skipping classes, but there were only half a lesson before lunchtime now that they had already skipped out of class; it would be awkward to go back. Also, she did not have the mood to attend class, so she simply nodded her head.
Zhao Yanzi also wanted to spend some time during lunch and experience college life, so she followed along as well.
The art exhibition was on the first floor of the Art Building. Unlike Qin Shaoyang's last exhibition at the library, this one by Jiang Yuan was smaller in scale.
But for a student to hold an individual art exhibition at school is quite impressive.
Jiang Yuan's teacher had already arrived; he was a man of over sixty years old. Jiang Yuan stood beside him and lifted her head proudly when she saw Hao Ren appear.
"New Star in the Art World" Jiang Yuan could achieve such accomplishments today thanks to her teacher’s support, and today's small exhibition was arranged by this same teacher who introduced a lot of senior artists for Jiang Yuan to meet. Therefore, Jiang Yuan felt more honored with her face glowing even brighter.
She had invited Hao Ren here to see her art exhibition, hoping that he could feel how she would attract attention and the glory it brought if one dated such an "artistic beauty" as herself.
No idea this Hao Ren did not know his place.
With these senior artists were some leaders of the Art College and school.
Jiang Yuan was indeed the main star, the focus. She behaved very humbly before those senior artists but could not help showing off when others looked at her.
Since the exhibition was free to enter, there were a lot of students inside; some were from the Art College who came to see paintings and others from other colleges just to take a look at the famous beauty Jiang Yuan.
"Ren! Ren!"
Inside the quiet exhibition hall, Zhou Liren's ghost-like voice suddenly sounded out loud.
Hao Ren turned around and saw that Zhou Liren and Zhao Jiayin had also arrived. However, judging from his waving hands and observing eyes, it was clear he wasn't here to see paintings…
The Art College had more beauties or perhaps the girls were better at dressing themselves up; therefore, one of the reasons Zhou Liren came was for entertainment and another was to admire the beautiful ladies.
When Jiang Yuan heard Zhou Liren's call-out, she looked towards Hao Ren. She found that Hao Ren actually made friends with such lowbrow ordinary boys and immediately lost interest in him.
A person like her never interacted with regular students of the same college; if she dated Hao Ren, it would only be a matter of the two of them playing around without any interaction with those noisy guys.
"Hehe, you came too," Xie Ruijia greeted Zhao Jiayin and others warmly.
Jiang Yuan's gaze slowly withdrew.
Hmph, commoners would always be commoners. She had thought that Hao Ren would have been different, but he was simply a regular guy who attracted some attention in school…
She gave a sweet smile to an elder by her side, "Mr Sun, please take a look at this painting…"
The gazes from the crowd were all on her and she felt very satisfied. She could see a clear path of stardom before her. People like Hao Ren would be completely overshadowed by her.
"Song Qingya! The famous singer Song Qingya is here at our school!"
Hmm Jiang Yuan was confused; did Mr Sun invite Song Qingya妖丹effect of the妖獸.In the future, by finding a suitable cultivation method and nurturing Xiao Bai's meridians every day, he would advance faster, Hao Ren thought as he looked at the little white outsid...
