Chapter 123: Where in Life Shall We Not Meet Again
them.After returning the old books, Hao Ren briefly toured around the library before casually borrowing some new ones. Previously, he still had time for reading, but recently, with his days filled wit...Chapter 123: Where in Life Do We Not Meet

Sigh, I updated three chapters yesterday, but the number of monthly tickets barely increased; instead, my ranking dropped from口to "fell off the new book monthly ticket list." Xiaolong was heartbroken but also received a few encouraging messages from fellow students. Very touching.
This chapter's main text has 醜 words.
Tap,
Hugh Ren dropped the bag full of snacks on the ground.
"What’s your name" Hugh Ren asked hastily.
"Xie Yujia, rain in the weather's 'rain,' and the 'Jia' in Jiaqing Dynasty. Uncle Xie only has this one daughter; he hopes that after you find her, you’ll look out for each other at school. Alright then, I have to go now. You should figure out how to contact her yourself. With the name, it shouldn't be hard to find."
Having said that, Mr. Xie hung up.
Hugh Ren stood there dumbfounded, phone in hand, lost in thought.
Oh my God, are you kidding me The class monitor is actually my childhood friend
The feelings Hugh Ren was experiencing right now were like being thrown into a pool of water and then pulled back out again repeatedly.
Standing there for several minutes, letting the cold wind hit him, Hugh Ren suddenly picked up Vice Principal Lu Qing’s number once more.
"Oh, it's Young Master Huo What can I do for you" Lu Qing’s voice came through the phone.
"Principal Lu, shouldn't you have access to all students' information at school Could you please check how many female students named Xie Yujia there are in our school The 'Xie' is like in 'thank you,' the 'Yu' is for rain, and the 'Jia' is from Jiaqing," Hugh Ren said into the phone.
After thinking a bit more, he added, "Or even those who might be pronounced similarly but are written differently."
So agitated was he that his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
"Is it urgent I haven't reached the school yet," Lu Qing asked.
"No, it's not urgent. But could you please let me know the result once you find out Thanks."
"Sure, I'll check it for you when I get to the school. By the way, have you heard that Young Master Hao has successfully advanced to the third stage of the Spirit Concentration Technique" Lu Qing asked.
"Yes, he did a few days ago. Thanks for helping me with this." After saying that, Hao Ren hung up the call.
He was still in shock and ended the phone call as soon as he finished talking, without realizing that Lu Qing wanted to continue their conversation. Hanging up on the vice principal like that took some guts!
Picking up the snacks from the floor again, Hao Ren walked into his dormitory building, dazedly climbing the stairs and heading back to their 304 dorm.
Zhao Jiayin had left earlier for practice. Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua were still asleep when they saw Hao Ren bring in a pile of snacks. They immediately became wide awake and started grabbing his snacks.
"Ren, why are you staring blankly What happened, did you break up" Upon seeing Hao Ren sitting on the chair looking out into space, Zhou Liren asked after snatching some potato chips.
"Nothing," Hao Ren said dully, waving his hand.
"Oh." I'll go wash my face and brush my teeth. Let's head to class soon!" Not quite at ease with Hao Ren’s state of mind, Zhou Liren took up his basin and toothbrush.
Half an hour later, Hao Ren went to the cafeteria for lunch together with Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua before heading to their classes.
The classroom was already half full. Students were chatting among themselves. When Hao Ren saw Xie Yujia in class, sitting in the second row talking with some girls around her, he froze for a moment.
When Xie Yujia noticed Hao Ren entering the room, she diverted her gaze, perhaps feeling awkward about revealing her feelings to him on Friday or thinking that they had become too close lately and should maintain a proper distance so as not to give classmates wrong impressions.
Hao Ren also hesitated when he saw Xie Yujia. He sat down at the back of the classroom, still in confusion.
Soon after, Zhao Jiayin, drenched with sweat from his practice, entered the room too and noticed Hao Ren's vacant look, as well as feeling something was off, "Ren, did you get" dumped"
While asking this question, he subconsciously looked at Xie Yujia in front of him. Could it be that Ren mustered up the courage to confess and got rejected
Bzzz, Hao Ren’s phone vibrated.
He quickly picked up the phone, saw that it was Lu Qing's number, and hurriedly answered.
"I've arrived at school and checked. Among our current students, whether homophonic or identical in spelling, there is only one person named Xie Yujia—your class monitor. However, three years ago, there was a graduate named Xie Yuja (the 'ja' being from the word for beauty)." Lu Qing said over the phone.
"Mm-hmm, thanks." Hao Ren replied; beyond this, he didn't know what else to say.
"Additionally…"
Lu Qing was about to continue speaking, but Hao Ren had already aimlessly put down his phone and hung up. Hanging up on the principal twice now, he could be considered a first in history.
Xie Yujia—Little Turnip…
Isn't she that little girl from my hazy memories who tugged at my clothes, had runny noses, went barefoot and followed me everywhere
The troublesome brat whom I couldn't shake off back then has suddenly turned into a beauty!
A decade or so felt to have passed in the blink of an eye.
Her calls of "big brother" still echoed faintly in Hao Ren's ears!
Seeing Xie Yujia, whose skin was as delicate and flawless as porcelain, sitting up front attentively listening to lectures and diligently taking notes, Hao Ren couldn't connect her with the scruffy little girl from his vague memories!
Cao Ronghua reached out his right hand and waved it in front of Hao Ren when he saw that Hao Ren was lost in thought.
Hao Ren finally came to his senses and let out a long sigh.
"Are you dumbfounded" Cao Ronghua asked him.
"Oh, it's nothing," Hao Ren replied, but his mind still couldn't settle down.
Ever since entering college, he had felt that Xie Yujia was a nice girl and would secretly watch her during classes. Who could have thought that they had known each other for over a decade!
Shall I tell her…
Hao Ren had an idea pop into his mind.
After considering it back and forth, Hao Ren suppressed this thought.
Xie Yujia already has a boy she likes and is waiting for. He should be one of the top students in her middle school or high school, right
Mentioning these things now would just be rekindling a small connection that was lost long ago; what significance does it hold
Thinking about this, Hao Ren felt the Tai Mountain Bracelet on his wrist become heavier again. He leaned onto the table and focused on practicing the Concentration Spell.
The natural energy of heaven and earth purified Hao Ren's body as he practiced, allowing both his physical form and emotions to be cleansed further. The amber pendant on the necklace also enhanced Hao Ren’s connection with the world around him, making the practice of the Concentration Spell smoother.
As his mood recovered, the Tai Mountain Bracelet no longer felt so heavy. Hao Ren noticed that Ran Wei's aura seemed to connect more closely with his body.
The amber piece that Zi gave me truly does speed up cultivation. After stopping the practice of Concentration Spell, Hao Ren thought silently to himself.
Looking at Zhao Jiayin and his other two companions beside him, they had all collapsed onto their desks, drooling all over them…
Xie Yujia in front was still listening intently and copying notes diligently.
Sigh, what's the point of thinking about childhood friends It’s better to focus on reaching the Threshold Rank as soon as possible. Recalling his gaze, Hao Ren observed his hands and felt that his skin had indeed become much smoother. The two Tai Mountain Bracelets were still hanging heavily on his wrists, reminding him that he was still Su Han's "criminal."
These bracelets force me to constantly practice the Concentration Spell to resist their weight, which in turn accelerates my cultivation progress.
Hao Ren slightly exerted himself and immediately felt the Tai Mountain Bracelets instantly become heavier in response to his energy.
The true power of a magic treasure, huh Hao Ren smiled wryly at this thought.
Ring! The bell for class dismissal rang out. Zhao Jiayin and his companions shivered and suddenly woke up.
"Let's go, let's go!" They pushed each other to their feet and followed Hao Ren toward the classroom door.
Xie Yujia packed her things up and walked behind them.ated forth, replenishing the energy in Hao Ren's body.The moment Shenzeming cleverly performed his magic trumpet, Hao Ren had consumed eight-tenths of his spiritual energy. But the three Qi-restoratio...
