When Hao Ren entered Zhao Yanzi's room with the documents, she was busy doing her homework.

She has indeed been very well-behaved recently... Hao Ren walked to behind her and lightly coughed.

Zhao Yanzi turned around upon seeing Hao Ren but did not say anything, instead pulling her chair slightly to the right.

Hao Ren took a chair and sat beside her. "I won't give you private tutoring today; I'll help answer your questions regarding the exam practice exercises. If there's something you don't understand, just ask me."

"Mm." Zhao Yanzi pouted her little mouth and pushed her homework towards Hao Ren. "The circled problems are those I can't solve."

"Alright, let me take a look," Hao Ren said as he took the notebook and picked up the pen and scratch paper, carefully working through the calculations.

While Hao Ren was solving the problems beside her, Zhao Yanzi watched him with an interested gaze.

He really does seem a bit more handsome than before, and his demeanor is also more refined... A vague sense of something floated in Zhao Yanzi's heart.

Wearing a white shirt that was plain but tidy; no scars on his hands, nor particularly muscular...

Zhao Yanzi then looked from Hao Ren’s face down to his body. Suddenly, her eyes fixed on the silver bracelet near his wrist.

"Did Su Sister give you this bracelet" Zhao Yanzi asked.

“Yes,” Hao Ren turned to look at her, "Do you know what it is"

Zhao Yanzǐ nodded and said, "This bracelet is called the ‘Tai Mountain Bracelet’. It’s a special item for Inspectors, like handcuffs used by police to restrain criminals."

"Criminals" Hao Ren felt sensitive about this word.

“Yes. When someone does something wrong or when they are arrested, Inspectors would put this bracelet on them to restrict their power and magic abilities, or to prevent them from escaping. However, the one Su Senior Sister gave you seems to be of a lower level and is only used to limit strength. Moreover, there's an incantation that can unlock it,” Zhao Yanzǐ patiently explained.

Hao Ren looked at the bracelet in shock, then turned to look at Zhao Yanzǐ with equal surprise. He had no idea about the origin of this bracelet and hadn’t expected Zhao Yanzǐ to become so gentle recently.

Inside her room, Zhao Yanzǐ wore a set of orange pajamas which, paired with her youthful face, made her look as refreshing as fresh orange juice.

Seeing Hao Ren staring at her in surprise, Zhao Yanzǐ’s expression changed. "Don’t give me that look! These bracelets are magical treasures after all, and Su Senior Sister giving you this one is a sign of respect."

"Alright then…" Hao Ren turned back to the desk, focusing his attention on the exercises.

Su Han must have known about him fighting at school; she probably put this bracelet on him as punishment. Hao Ren thought to himself.

The two of them discussed questions and before they knew it, dinner time arrived. Zhao Hongyu personally came up to call them for dinner, so the two left their desks and walked down the stairs side by side with her.

As Zhao Hongyu descended the stairs, she turned around and saw Zhao Yanzǐ holding onto Hao Ren's sleeve carefully walking down the steps. She couldn’t help but smile happily.

"Mom, why are you smiling" Zhao Yanzǐ called out.

"Hehe, nothing!" Zhao Hongyu walked toward the small dining room.

Zhao Guang and his grandmother were already seated at the table chatting. They waved when they saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzǐ coming down together.

The five of them sat down to have a pleasant dinner like one big family.

During the meal, Zhao Guang brought up a topic: "Ah Ren, your grandmother said that your parents are returning this Thursday. I discussed it with your grandmother and thought maybe we could all meet for dinner on Thursday evening."

"Huh" Hao Ren was taken aback; although he had expected the two families to eventually meet somehow, he hadn’t anticipated it happening so suddenly.

"Yes, the Hongyu family has been so kind to me. I hope your parents can invite them for a meal soon so they can get to know each other," Grandmother added.

"Well..." Hao Ren looked at Zhao Guang and then at Zhao Hongyu, feeling that this meeting was significant in some way.

Zhao Yanzi also stopped eating and stared blankly at everyone around the dining table, waiting for a resolution. If it were before, she would definitely have said no to the meeting, but now that Hao Ren's grandmother was also present, to maintain her image as a "lady," she wouldn't cause a scene.

"This Friday is my midterm exam at school. Let’s let Azi focus on studying Thursday and discuss this meeting over the weekend." After some thought, Hao Ren said.

"Oh, I see..." Grandmother realized suddenly. She had wondered why Hao Ren hesitated to invite Zhao Yanzi's parents when she suggested it; now she understood he was considering her midterm exam.

"Yes! Yes!" Zhao Yanzi did not want the meeting with her parents so soon either and nodded in agreement immediately.

“You never took exams seriously before, even going out to play during final exams. Now you’re pretending to be studious I'll see how well you actually do on this midterm,” Zhao Guang said, looking at Zhao Yanzi.

Hearing that, Zhao Yanzi pouted unhappily.

"Aizi has been studying quite seriously recently," Hao Ren interjected.

“Hmph! Don’t speak well of me!” Zhao Yanzi suddenly became inexplicably angry.

“Alright, alright. There’s no rush anyway. Let's just meet over the weekend,” Grandmother intervened.

After lunch, Zhao Yanzi suddenly told Hao Ren she didn't need help with her studies anymore. Reluctantly, Hao Ren had to return to school early.

This girl's mind was indeed hard to read; pleasing her wasn’t easy either, nor was going against her.

Thus, Hao Ren returned to the dorm earlier than usual. Zhao Jiaying, who had narrowly escaped a crisis, was playing three-player landlord with Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua.

Hao Ren put his documents on the table and was about to climb up to his top bunk for some rest when Zhao Jiaying suddenly grabbed Hao Ren’s arm. "Whoa! Where did you get that bracelet"

"I bought it from a street vendor; I’m just wearing it for fun," Hao Ren replied tiredly.

"A guy wearing bracelets, how effeminate," Zhou Liren immediately said.

Hao Ren glared at him. If he knew that the bracelet was given to him by Su Han, he would probably be more than willing for Zhou Liren to wear a full set of them.

"But these bracelets are quite nice," Cao Ronghua leaned in closely and observed Hao Ren's two bracelets on his wrist, giving his opinion.

"They seem to go well with your necklace," Zhao Jiayin's eyes lit up. "Isn't it possible that Su Han gave them to you as well"

"It seems like it really is a set!" Zhou Liren exclaimed when he finally noticed the secret.

"Stop being so nosy!" Hao Ren pushed his face away and jumped onto his top bunk to rest.

The bed creaked dangerously, almost breaking.

"Be careful! Be gentle!" Zhao Jiayin shouted.

How could wearing a hundred pounds of weight be light... Hao Ren picked up the novel beside his pillow and sighed heavily.

The following Wednesday was uneventful. The topic at school still revolved around the disciplinary notice from the academic affairs office, but this matter no longer had much impact on Hao Ren.

In the evening, he went to tutor Zhao Zifu again as usual; her attitude was lukewarm, and Hao Ren didn't know what he could have done to offend her.

Thus, in a blink of an eye, it was already Thursday.

Ding. The phone's message notification light turned on.

Hao Ren, who was dozing off during class, opened his phone groggily and saw a text from Xie Yujia:

"Today at 8 PM is the science lecture by Academician Hao and Academician Ye. Would you like to accompany me there"e entire Dragon Palace to be on high alert! Not only did all passive defenses and offensive attacks’ magical arrays activate, even those soldiers patrolling near the city walls were changed into fully...
