Chapter 185: Weakening the Heavenly Tribulation?

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Hao Ren had no idea what Zhao Yanzi was planning. However, his heartbeat sped up when she went into his arms. It was not less powerful than that of the ‘Small Lightning Cloud Tribulation.’

Hao Ren rushed out of the Middle School Department and headed toward the Academic Building of the High School Department. Xie Yujia was just walking out.

She saw Hao Ren and immediately waved at him.

“Hey, Hao Ren!”

Hao Ren walked over, and Xie Yujia noticed the blush on his cheek. She blinked curiously and asked “Why is your face so red? Is it too hot outside?”

“Oh, it’s alright,” Hao Ren put his hand on his forehead and replied, “Um… You are done visiting your high school teachers?”

“Yes… Though some of them have been transferred to other schools.” Xie Yujia nodded and looked up at the sun. “It’s still a bit early for dinner. Why don’t we take a walk around the school?”

Hao Ren thought, “There is nothing to do anyway when I get back. Plus, I could kill some time and pick up Zhao Yanzi after school.”

He agreed and said, “Let’s go.”

Xie Yujia smiled pleasantly and walked beside Hao Ren. As another bell rang, the students all went back to their classrooms.

A few high-schooler hastily passed by Hao Ren as they chatted with each other.

“Fatty, remember the mid-schooler, Zi, who you are interested in? Her boyfriend just came here to see her. They hugged on the sports field outside of the building, and they probably kissed too!”

“Damn it! Where did you hear that from?”

“My little sister is in the Middle School Department, and she just texted me! She witnessed the whole thing!”

As they went by, they couldn’t help but peek at Xie Yujia. They were probably wondering why they hadn’t seen this beautiful girl in the school before.

Of course, they didn’t pay attention to Hao Ren. They would never have guessed this was the guy who just hugged Zhao Yanzi in public.

Xie Yujia didn’t pay attention to the discussion because she wasn’t sensitive to the name ‘Zi’ and her hearing wasn’t as acute as Hao Ren. She walked closer to Hao Ren as they moved forward slowly and quietly, checking out the grasses, trees, hills, and small ponds in the school.

The school was quiet. This was the last class of the day, so there were no PE classes. The entire sports field was empty and silent.

The sun in the west was giving out the last warmth of the day and poured a layer of gold on the sports field.

They strolled on the track side by side. Hao Ren looked down at the lines and stepped on the white starting line.

They were both quietly walking in the bright sunset.

The red tracks with white lines reminded Xie Yujia of her middle school and high school years and Hao Ren of the Athletic Games at the university not too long ago.

After taking a walk along the sports field, they went to the library, the music center, the stadium… And everywhere else.

Xie Yujia cherished the memories of her middle school and high school years and having Hao Ren by her side gave her a different feeling.

“I fell here once.” She pointed at the stairs outside of the library as she lifted her right sleeve. “See, the scar is still here.”

Hao Ren looked over and saw a tiny scar on her pale skin. He took another look at the stairs and could imagine what it looked like when she tripped. It made his heart ache a little.

“When I was in middle school and high school, I had always wondered where my Little Older Brother was studying,” Xie Yujia smiled in delight and said, “But I never imagined that you would be just two blocks over at City North First High School.”

Hao Ren could imagine Xie Yujia’s quiet yet persistent lifestyle during her middle school and high school years. She probably read books in the classroom during breaks, took sunbaths on the balcony, kept a friendly distance from the guys and never got too close to them, and daydreamed by the side of the sports field during PE class…

The sunshine slowly faded away, and it was about time for the final dismissal.

“I’ll treat you to dinner,” Xie Yujia said.

“Don’t worry. I still need to take Zi back. Let me drive you back to the school first. Actually, I still owe you a meal for the notes you lent to me last time,” Hao Ren walked to the parking lot and said.

“You don’t have to take me back if you need to wait for her. I’ll just take a bus. It’s pretty convenient anyways,” Xie Yujia walked to the school gate as she said this to him.

Hao Ren called her, but she went through the small door and got out of the school without looking back.

Hao Ren sighed as he watched her leave. He went into the parking lot and started the Ferrari.

The doorman opened the door for him, and he drove the car outside of the school gate and waited on the side of the road.

Ring… The final dismissal bell rang. A few minutes later, all the students walked through the gate.

There were some other cars at the school gate, picking up students. However, none of them were as luxurious as this Ferrari. Zhao Yanzi got out of the school with some of her classmates, and she waved at Hao Ren on purpose when she saw the Ferrari.

Hao Ren was very eye-catching in this flashy car.

Zhao Yanzi ran over cheerfully with her bag on her back and got in the car. Students from both the High School Department and the Middle School Department were gossiping about them when they saw that.

Zhao Yanzi pinched Hao Ren’s cheek as soon as she got into the car, acting like they were very close. Hao Ren immediately started the car and dashed out under everyone’s stare like a rich kid.

As the vehicle moved forward, Zhao Yanzi glimpsed at Hao Ren and asked, “She left?”

Her tone showed her hostility toward Xie Yujia, who was beautiful and well-developed.

“You hate her that much?” Hao Ren turned to her.

“At least there’s nothing that I like about her.” Zhao Yanzi pouted.

“It seems like it is very hard for a good student and a bad student to get along.” Hao Ren rubbed his head and kept driving.

“You should work harder starting today,” Hao Ren said suddenly.

“The reason is?” Zhao Yanzi asked immediately.

“No reason. That’s the responsibility your mom gave me,” Hao Ren answered.

Zhao Yanzi twitched her nose and kept quiet. She seemed to have already forgotten about the incident in the office today.

“Do you think your Third Uncle can pass the Heavenly Tribulation this time?” Hao Ren asked.

“50/50,” Zhao Yanzi looked a little gloomy. “My dad said that my Third Uncle’s Heavenly Tribulation would play a big part in East Ocean and West Ocean’s relationship.”

Hao Ren thought so as well. Otherwise, why would Zhao Guang stay at the Dragon Palace to supervise the construction of the altar?

“What… Would be the consequences… If he fails?” Hao Ren asked.

Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth. “My Third Uncle is very powerful so that he won’t fail!”

However, her facial expression revealed how unconfident she was about it.

“What if…” Hao Ren said, “What if I can weaken the Heavenly Tribulation?”
