Dragon King’s Son-In-Law-Chapter 32: Can’t Even Keep a Low Profile

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

At this very moment, Hao Ren walked off the spectator stand and walked into Huang Xujie.

Hao Ren’s sportswear was of a lesser-known brand. Although clean and tidy, there were some fray edges. Its quality was a lot worse than Huang Xujie’s silky Adidas sportswear which was shining under the sun.

Huang Xujie was wearing a pair of fancy long-distance running shoes whereas Hao Ren was wearing the most common pair of sneakers.

Huang Xujie curled his lips at Hao Ren in disrespect after seeing how poor his outfit was.

Having ignored him, Hao Ren ran over to the track.

“Sophomore,” Huang Xujie said as Hao Ren was passing by, “You are ready for your last place in the match, aren’t you?” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

“My name is Hao Ren, not ‘sophomore’.” Hao Ren turned around.

“Hehe,” Huang Xujie sneered as he leaned over to Hao Ren’s ear, “I’ll completely surpass you in front of the entire school.” He whispered.

He said lightly but surely in his arrogant tone.

Xie Yujia, on the spectator stand, was a little confused by the “intimate” talk between the two on the sports field. “Since when did these two become good friends?” She thought.

Hao Ren didn’t want to argue with him as he did not expect a good placement in the race. However, he would try his best because the Class President picked him for the race. However, there was nothing he could do if he still got the last place.

“You don’t even dare to talk anymore, sophomore?” Huang Xujie looked at him in a provoking manner as he performed a split. It made the girls on the spectator stand scream crazily again.

Hao Ren ran quietly to the track with his fists tightly clenched. He really wanted to hit Huang Xujie when he provoked him, but he was able to hold back.

“He thinks the entire East Ocean University is his just because of his charm?” Hao Ren turned back to look at the “senior” as he found it funny just thinking about it.

It seemed like no one but Xie Yujia and Hao Ren’s classmates would pay attention to this unimpressive guy in low-quality sportswear and old sneakers.

On the contrary, girls were reacting passionately whenever Huang Xujie passed by. His black hair, well-built body, confident look, and the yellow sports bracers all became reasons for their screaming.

To them, Hao Ren who just passed by Huang Xujie was incomparable to the charming man. They did not even notice the few seconds of conversation between them as they passed by each other.

Hao Ren got to a quiet corner on the west side of the sports field. He practiced shuttle runs on the rubber track. The intense sunshine caused him to be soaked in sweat after just a little while.

He returned to the spectator stand after feeling completely warmed up and went back to where his class was at.

Xie Yujia had finished taking the attendance, and everyone had taken their seats. They were waiting for the game to start as they sipped on their drinks and shared snacks.

“Hao Ren!” Xie Yujia waved her slim arm in excitement when she saw him coming over.

Hao Ren walked over, and Xie Yujia pointed at the empty seat near her. “Come sit here.”

The invitation was to Hao Ren’s surprise. He searched for Zhao Jiayi and the other two of his roommates as he said to Xie Yujia, “I’d better go sit with them.”

“They are in the very back, and you have to go for your race later. It’s inconvenient to go up and down like that.” Xie Yujia gave him a reason to stay.

Hao Ren saw Zhao Jiayi and the guys waving at him, but then he saw the crowded area filled with cards and sunflower seed shells. They were nudging each other and making a lot of noises. Hao Ren gritted and thought to himself, “Looks like I’ll have to put girls before bros today.”

He sat down beside Xie Yujia.

This move completely startled Zhao Jiayi. His mouth gaped open; it was almost wide enough to fit an egg.

“Hao Ren…the guy who blushes whenever he sees pretty girls is sitting beside the Class President Xie Yujia?”

Then something even more startling happened.

Seeing how sweaty Hao Ren was, Xie Yujia took out some tissue and wiped off the sweat from his forehead with a smile.

Ka-cha!

Zhao Jiayi felt like his own jaw had dislocated.

“Sensational news!” He shouted at Cao Ronghua who was busy playing cards after he realized what was going on. “Ren is dating Xie Yujia!”

“What?” Zhou Liren cried out. He stopped playing cards to look at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia who were sitting together below them. Then his facial expression looked exactly the same as Zhao Jiayi’s.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I can do it myself.” Hao Ren was flattered as Xie Yujia wiped his sweat for him. He hastily stopped her smooth white arm.

The intense-enthusiasm Xie Yujia was showing towards him was making him uncomfortable.

“It’s ok. You are our class’ hero.” She smiled.

Then she handed over a bottle of water. “Here, you need to keep hydrated.”

Zhou Liren and the guys almost dropped their jaws to the ground at the sight of this.

“Ren is really having some luck with women…” They thought at the same time.

“Don’t be so nice to me, Class President. I’m not ready for it,” Hao Ren took the bottle as he made a defensive gesture. He was being honest due to nervousness.

“I’m thinking of being this nice to you from now on.” Xie Yujia laughed.

Hao Ren was stupefied by her smile as he felt like his heart was about to pop out of his chest.

“I was joking,” Xie Yujia added after seeing Hao Ren’s stupefied look.

“Oh…” Hao Ren finally returned to normal.

He thought for a bit and said, “Class President, don’t blame me for disappointing you if I really end up last in the race.”

“As long as you tried your best.” Xie Yujia’s genuinely stared at him with her pretty eyes, “That’s the biggest difference between you and them.”

Hao Ren laughed bitterly and didn’t respond.

“Oh, do you know Huang Xujie?” She suddenly asked.

“Sort of…” Hao Ren mumbled. He thought girls like Xie Yujia would probably be interested in cute guys like Huang Xujie.

“He is kind of cute, and a lot of girls like him,” Xie Yujia said.

“Hehe.” Hao Ren laughed. Being cute was really a great asset these days.

“His dad is East Ocean City’s deputy mayor,” she continued.

“No wonder he is so arrogant…But is the deputy mayor such a big deal?” Hao Ren thought to himself.

He had no idea how many jealous eyes were staring at his back while Xie Yujia was tilting her head and talking to him.

Suddenly, a sensitive color entered Hao Ren’s sight amongst the colorful background.

A light blue middle-schooler uniform fluttered into the sports field like a jasmine flower.
