r passengers kept glancing at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili; there was just no way for them not to do so because in the rain, these twin sisters holding little umbrellas looked incredibly beautiful.The girls...Chapter 375: Not Allowed to Come Over Anymore!
"Alright, alright. Zi today will stay in Ren's room," taking advantage of Hao Ren not responding yet, Grandma walked over and said with a smile.
Zhao Yuanzǐ was originally joking around with Hao Ren too. Now that grandma had mentioned it like this, she thought for a moment, blushed, and retreated to Hao Ren's side.
"Such weather really scared people," lifting her head again, Grandma said somewhat moved.
Hao Zhonghua originally wanted to say that Zhao Yuanzǐ staying in the same room as Hao Ren wasn't quite right. Suddenly Grandma changed the subject, so he nodded and said, "Yaotian mentioned that there's something weird with the climate of this coastal area. I don't think it's very safe by the seaside either. In a few days, Yaotian and I will go take a look at our house and maybe move to downtown"
"Don’t be afraid," Grandma shook her head immediately. "In Donghai City, we have the Dragon King’s protection. Just like today’s situation; even if it's dangerous, the Dragon King will still protect this land."
Hearing what Grandma said, Yaotian helplessly shook his head. Hao Zhonghua didn’t know how to respond either.
Believing in the existence of dragons in this world didn't mean that Hao Zhonghua shared Grandma’s beliefs.
"Our Donghai City has been around for a few hundred years, and it's always been peaceful and prosperous with favorable weather conditions. No water disasters, droughts, or windstorms... These things have never happened here because the Dragon King protects its people," Grandma continued to say.
In the past, Hao Ren would definitely think this was an old-fashioned idea of the elders. But now, he thought about how Zhao Yuanzǐ’s father Zhao Guang indeed maintained peace and stability in the Donghai region.
Of course, the elderly woman who taught Xie Yujia martial arts, that cultivator at the Nirvana realm who once governed Donghai City, must have allowed its people to live peacefully as well.
"Mom, it's getting late. Tornadoes come and go quickly; everything will be calm afterwards. Let’s head back inside to rest," Yaotian wouldn’t believe Grandma’s explanation at all, gently pushing her back towards the house.
Hao Ren and the others also followed him indoors. Since the tornado had dissipated completely about ten kilometers inland from the coast, there was only strong wind here, leaving the house relatively unscathed.
Xie Yujia and Zhen Cunming respectively walked towards their rooms on the first floor, while Hao Ren went upstairs. Zhao Yuanzǐ grabbed her slightly damp clothes’ buttons with her palm and hurriedly followed him up.
Hao Ren looked back at her, and she lifted her head to look at him too.
"Zhonghua, Yaotian, you two should also rest early. We have to take everyone out tomorrow," Grandma walked towards the room and said to Hao Zhonghua and Yaotian.
"Yes, Mom," Yaotian answered respectfully and forcibly dragged Hao Zhonghua into the room.
Hao Zhonghua wanted to intervene regarding Hao Ren and Zhao Yuanzǐ as well, but it seemed there was no place for him to act. On this matter of Zhao Yuanzǐ, Yaotian and Grandma were on the same side—letting Hao Ren and Zhao Yuanzǐ develop their relationship, since Hao Ren certainly wouldn’t do anything wrong anyway.
"Time to sleep, time to sleep," Zhao Yanzǐ, with no other choice and her face flushed red, ushered Hòu Rén into the room.
Just moments ago, there were more than ten tornadoes wreaking havoc on the sea surface, and four or five additional ones were heading towards the beach. Zhao Yanzǐ thought that Donghai City was certain to be affected; who would have expected Hòu Rén to effortlessly dispel all of them This filled her with admiration for him.
Of course, she wouldn’t voice this admiration out loud. Occasionally, Hòu Rén might show off a bit, but most of the time, he remained the "uncle."
The room was warm; Zhao Yanzǐ kicked off her wet shoes and slipped into bed, tossing her damp outerwear and pants aside, even her colorful socks followed.
Hòu Rén could imagine she was now wearing only her undergarments. Her unreserved style seemed no different from the raging tornadoes just now.
However… while Hòu Rén could deal with the tornadoes, he couldn’t handle Zhao Yanzǐ.
"Don't you worry about the battle situation between Donghai Dragon Palace and Xihai Dragon Palace" Standing at the door, Hòu Rén asked Zhao Yanzǐ, whose head was peeking out from under her covers.
"Don't worry; they've won. When all the tornadoes disappeared, a red light rose up over there," Zhao Yanzǐ said, lifting her little nose.
Hearing this, Hòu Rén's mind was put at ease. It turned out that Zhao Yanzǐ already knew about their victory, no wonder she was so excited and thrilled.
"You’re too thick-skinned. My parents are home, yet you insist on sleeping in my room," Hòu Rén said with a relaxed tone as he walked over to where Zhao Yanzǐ was under the covers.
Zhao Yanzǐ quickly retracted her head into the covers and from within mumbled, "How is it How is it"
Deep down, she felt quite smug. When Hòu Rén came back home, Xiè Yujia proactively greeted him at the door, playing the role of a virtuous wife, almost leaving her out in the cold; now, however, she had this special privilege to spend the night in Hòu Rén's room with tacit approval from his elders. This seemed to have given her an upper hand over Xiè Yujia, proving that she was the rightful "fiancée."
Hmph, you live on the first floor, I live on the second, my status is higher than yours—Zhao Yanzǐ thought while curled up in the dark covers.
"Do you think being a turtle will save you from me" Hòu Rén stepped closer and reached out to lift Zhao Yanzǐ wrapped up under the covers.
"Ahh,討厭啦!" Feeling suddenly lifted up from her hiding place under the covers, Zhao Yanzǐ screamed.
"Oh, I'm already outside your window. Now, let's see if you like being thrown out," Hòu Rén said dramatically as he pretended to open the window and shouted towards the bed.
A cold wind swept in through the window. Zhao Yanzǐ thought Hòu Rén was really going to throw her out and struggled while shouting, "You dare"
"What are you afraid of Since you dared to come into my room, I can dare to throw you out," Hòu Rén said.
The "villain" Zhao Yanzi, unaware of the situation in the dark, felt a bit scared and immediately wriggled out of the blanket. She then realized that Hao Ren had just picked her up from the bed but was still right next to it.
Her small underwear couldn’t cover her tender, smooth body; from her neck down to her shoulders, and even a little patch of belly, were all exposed to Hao Ren’s gaze.
"Ah…" Zhao Yanzi screamed and quickly grabbed the blanket in Hao Ren's hand, wrapping herself up again.
Even so, her two bare feet remained exposed before Hao Ren's eyes.
She kicked out at him forcefully and then turned around to get back onto the bed.
Hao Ren was not harmed by her soft feet; instead, he saw through her panic.
In the neighboring room,郝中華 heard Zhao Yanzi's scream and glanced sideways at Yue Yang.
Yue Yang was holding a small notebook and writing down today’s storm situation. Hao Zhonghua deliberately coughed twice to try to get Yue Yang's attention.
Yue Yang turned half her body but continued with what she was doing.
"I warn you, don’t come over anymore or I’ll scream! I’ve already taken off my clothes," Zhao Yanzi shouted as she got back onto the bed.
Hao Zhonghua in the neighboring room couldn’t help but cough heavily again upon hearing this.
Yue Yang remained without reaction, biting her pen and pretending to be deep in thought. Hao Zhonghua sighed deeply; kids are just kids, let them play a bit then.
In the room, Hao Ren saw Zhao Yanzi's anxious and angry look and smiled slightly, turning around to take out another set of quilts from the cabinet, "We're going on an outing tomorrow. I’m not messing with you."
He spread the blankets on the wooden floor, took off his jacket, lay down, rolled over a bit, and wrapped himself up.
Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren and saw him closing his eyes to rest. She hesitated for a moment and stuck her hand out from under the covers, poking Hao Ren, "Hey… you’re going to sleep like that"
"How else am I supposed to sleep" Hao Ren opened his eyes.
"I… I don’t know," Zhao Yanzi’s gaze avoided Hao Ren's eyes.
"Alright, no more shouting or we’ll wake everyone up in the room," Hao Ren said.
"It was you who scared me just now!" Zhao Yanzǐ argued stubbornly.
Hao Ren waved his hand. "I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping."
Seeing Hao Ren's attitude, Zhao Yanzǐ felt rather bitter. Thinking about it, when Hao Ren picked her up, her reaction was indeed a bit intense.
Thinking carefully again, Hao Ren has actually been quite nice to her.
"I'll give you half the bed," Zhao Yanzǐ pulled at the corner of the quilt and moved some distance towards the wall.
"You sleep. Who knows what tricks you'll pull next" Hao Ren didn't want to move. He just wrapped himself in the quilt, and lying on the floor wasn't that cold.
"Come up here!" Zhao Yanzǐ stretched out her smooth arm and tried to tug Hao Ren's quilt.
But her body was not as heavy as Hao Ren's; she failed to pull him over but nearly rolled onto the floor herself.
"If you don't come up, I'll get angry!" Seeing Hao Ren wrapped in his quilt still motionless like a dead fish, Zhao Yanzǐ suddenly rolled her eyes and said fiercely.
Hao Ren turned to look at Zhao Yanzǐ. "Really want me to"
Zhao Yanzǐ looked at Hao Ren, unsure whether she should nod or shake her head. How could she answer when Hao Ren asked like that
"Come up then, you silly egg," after a few seconds of deliberation, Zhao Yanzǐ finally said.
“Alright…” Hao Ren had an obviously reluctant look on his face as he rolled the quilt and climbed onto the empty half of the bed. He seemed very unwilling but agreed only because of Zhao Yanzǐ's earnest request.
Zhao Yanzǐ glared at him, wanting nothing more than to punch him—she was being kind enough to offer him half her warm bed, yet he acted like this!
With quilt touching quilt, separated by two layers, it felt quite cozy.
Hao Ren had ascended to the Gèn grade and now felt extremely exhausted, drifting off into a daze as he approached sleep.
Zhao Yanzǐ stared at Hao Ren's face gradually falling into calmness, just like a frog in the animal world perched on a lotus leaf staring at fluttering flies; suddenly... she used her lips to quickly touch Hao Ren's forehead.
"What is it" Hao Ren opened his drowsy eyes and looked at Zhao Yanzǐ with her blushing face.eadily agreed.Zhao Guang led Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzǐ up to the second floor. He soon brought a thick blanket for Hao Ren."Thank you, Uncle!" Hao Ren held the blanket respectfully."Ah Ren, I have some...
