Chapter 121 - Super Genius ~

n期 stage, they would be shocked into bursting blood vessels!Seeing them alternate between anger, fear, and joy, Hao Ren worries that their mental states might be affected. Thus he asks, "Do you have a...Chapter 121: Super Genius

Xie Yujia held vegetables in her right hand and the straps of her schoolbag in her left, walking step by step forward.

The shadows of utility poles divided the road into sections; Hao Ren seemed to accompany her, crossing one section after another.

Suddenly, he felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. Time rewinding back, it seemed as if he had returned to his childhood, drawing squares on the ground and holding hands with someone else, playing "Jump Rope."

Glancing at Xie Yujia beside him, she appeared gentle and virtuous like a newlywed woman. Under this slightly sunny day, Hao Ren was somewhat confused as to whether it was the past, present, or future.

Entering an old residential area, Xie Yujia led Hao Ren around corners until they reached a dull gray building.

They walked up three flights of stairs and Xie Yujia knocked on a black security door with her hand. "Brother! I'm back! Open the door!"

Bam! The somewhat worn-out security door was forcefully pulled open, revealing an old man wearing ragged short sleeves like a small mountain in their sight.

Looking inside from the doorway, the room seemed to have been cleaned but could only be described as ordinary decoration; true wealthy people should already have moved out of these old-style residential areas that were over ten years old

"Come in," said Xie Wanjun, making way with his body blocking the entrance.

"I bought some wood ear mushrooms, chicken leg mushrooms, a bit of celery, and some peanuts." Xie Yujia placed the plastic bag containing vegetables on the table and mentioned this.

"No need to report it to me..." Xie Wanjun waved his hand impatiently.

"If I don't tell you, you'll say I bought the wrong one..." Xie Yujia rolled her eyes at Xie Wanjun.

Seeing them bickering in a warm and lively manner, Hao Ren couldn’t insert himself into their conversation and could only stand aside.

"Alright, alright, today I’ll cook." Eventually, Xie Wanjun lost to his sister and picked up the plastic bag before entering the greasy kitchen.

He was wearing an oversized sports shorts, revealing his thick thighs which were even thicker than the concrete pillars outside that prevented vehicles from passing through.

"Sit down for a bit." Xie Yujia pulled out a chair and went to brew some tea for Hao Ren.

This hardworking and considerate demeanor of hers truly made Hao Ren feel moved. Previously, he only saw her as a class monitor who was very serious about everything she did. Now, however, he saw the side of Xie Yujia that lived life to the fullest.

"Yujia, bring him into your room for a while, I’m going to cook and there’s going to be a lot of smoke!" shouted Xie Wanjun from inside the kitchen.

In these old houses, the kitchen was just an area without a door separating it from other rooms. Cooking would generate a lot of smoke that would drift into the living room. If they installed a door, however, the kitchen would become unbearably hot.

Xie Yujia felt somewhat annoyed; her brother was really being unreasonable. How could he let someone casually enter a girl’s bedroom

However, she didn’t want to bring Hao Ren into her brother's extremely messy room either, so she tugged at Hao Ren’s sleeve and said, "There’s a lot of smoke outside; you can sit in my room for a while!"

Hao Ren was dragged by her into her bedroom. Despite his helplessness, he couldn’t help but feel reflective: just a few weeks ago, he had never imagined that he would become a guest at the class monitor’s house and even visit her private quarters!

The walls in the room were adorned with some outdated posters; neatly folded underwear hung from a line strung across the room…

Seeing Hu Ren's gaze shift over there, Xie Yujia's face turned slightly red as she hurriedly walked over and pretended to be calm, picking it up and casually putting it in the drawer.

Hu Ren coughed twice and could only pretend not to see it, turning around to look at some photos under the glass on his desk.

Among them were recent photos as well as ones from a long time ago; almost every photo had Xie Yujia in it.

Hu Ren looked through them one by one, seeing pictures of Xie Yujia during her junior high school days and high school years, along with several black-and-white blurry photos from when she was in elementary school.

He didn't expect that the serious-looking Xie Yujia in class would be so adorable as a child... Hu Ren thought to himself while looking at these pictures.

Xie Yujia, blushing, walked slowly over and said, "These are all photos from when I was young; there's nothing interesting about them."

Hu Ren looked at the photos and asked, "You also like the sea"

"Yes, I used to go to the seaside frequently," Xie Yujia stood beside Hu Ren and lowered her head to look at the photos as well.

Standing close to Xie Yujia, with his unusually sharp senses, Hu Ren could even feel the warmth emanating from her arms and shoulders.

"Haha, anyone who grew up in Donghai City would love to play by the seaside when they were young," feeling a bit bashful in Xie Yujia's tone, Hu Ren stopped staring at these childhood photos of hers and turned to ask, "Do you live with your brother"

"There are also my uncle and aunt; but they're out for dinner today and won't be back until later, so you won't run into them," Xie Yujia replied.

"Xie Wanjun is your cousin then" Hu Ren immediately realized.

"Mm." Xie Yujia nodded. "My parents aren't in Donghai City, and since I'm studying here, I've been living here since my junior high school days."

Hao Ren nodded. No wonder; Xie Wanjun and Xie Yujia don't look like siblings, but their relationship is as close as any brother-sister duo.

"However, starting from high school, my brother rarely stays here. He attended a full-time boarding high school, only coming back on weekends occasionally. Even in university, he didn't stay; instead, he rented an apartment near the campus and trained at the gym whenever he had free time," Xie Yujia added.

"Oh, I see." Hao Ren lowered his voice. "Your brother must have poor grades So playing basketball is his only way out"

To everyone's surprise, Xie Yujia shook her head immediately. "My brother has excellent grades! Even now, he's the top student among the senior class at Donghai University! Don't think he doesn't study hard—his intelligence isn't lacking; in fact, it might even be better than mine. Whenever I couldn’t solve a problem before, my brother taught me!"

Hearing this answer, Hao Ren was taken aback. He didn't expect the “gorilla” to not only excel at basketball but also have such excellent grades and cooking skills!

"Don't look at how much time my brother spends playing basketball; he has a full scholarship from Stanford University in America! This year, after graduating senior year, he'll go to America for his graduate studies!" Xie Yujia continued.

Hao Ren's mouth hung open in disbelief.

The person who is said to be the strongest martial artist at Donghai University is truly impressive...

"Yujia, come out and eat! I've quickly prepared a few dishes!" Xie Wanjun called from outside.

"Let's go!" Xie Yujia pulled Hao Ren along as they walked out of the room.

When Hao Ren stepped out into the dining area, he saw several plates of brightly oiled vegetables neatly placed on a small black table.ollow," Hao Ren said to Su Han again.“Huh” Su Han was taken aback for a moment before nodding. "Oh…"Hao Ren’s victory over Qin Shaoyang meant he could definitely become a formal examiner, and whether...
