"Why... why can you make decisions for the Martial Arts Club?"
"Haha, why don't you run over to the Martial Arts Club again? Anyway, if you don't mind the hot weather, you can go and ask Li Chao for his opinion." Ye Hao finished speaking and handed the challenge letter back to the pretty female student.
"What's that supposed to mean! Can you make the decision or not!" Seeing this, the pretty female student asked Ye Hao if he could decide, so she wouldn't have to run over there again. After all, it's September, and it's so hot that everyone is sweating, so she wants to avoid going out if possible.
"I can, but for now, you'll still have to go talk to Li Chao yourself! By the way, please also pass on what I just said." Ye Hao saw Fang Ni and Xia Zhu coming downstairs from afar, so he didn't plan on helping the pretty female student anymore.
"You..."
"My girlfriend just finished class. Goodbye." Ye Hao said, leaving her with the back of his head, making the pretty female student stomp her foot in frustration.
In the end, the pretty female student helplessly had to run and tell Li Chao.
Li Chao had no objections to this; after all, Ye Hao had said that Yang Zui would be sent for the friendly match, and by then, Yang Zui wouldn't pass up such a high-profile opportunity.
After bringing the two little beauties back home, Ye Hao received a phone call that surprised him greatly.
"Miss Liang?" Ye Hao listened to the voice on the other end with a hint of confusion.
The person on the call asked if it was Chairman Ye Hao, and Ye Hao felt that the voice sounded a lot like Liang Yating, so he asked her.
"It's me, Chairman Ye. Do you have time? How about coming out for a bit?" Liang Yating's clear voice came through on the other end.
"Now?" Ye Hao asked.
"Yes, I'm near the Rain Pond at Haoting Garden." Liang Yating's voice carried a trace of fatigue.
"Okay! I'll come over right away." Ye Hao said with a smile.
"Thank you." Liang Yating said before hanging up the call.
After the call ended, Ye Hao briefly explained to the girls and then headed out the door.
Following the incident in Macau, the Nanling Martial Fool stuck closely to Ye Hao since Ye Hao had many enemies, and no one knew where they might appear from.
Like that God organization, the Luo Family, Xiao Family, Zhang Family, assassin organizations, or special forces from other countries, etc.
Better safe than sorry.
So the Nanling Martial Fool still felt it was safer to stick close to Ye Hao, in case anything happened to him, his conscience would be uneasy.
Moreover, with his Innate Realm strength, staying home wouldn't help, it was better to go out more, see the world, and learn how to navigate society. Otherwise, he might never break through the prison of his inner self.
Ye Hao navigated his way to Haoting Garden, and the Nanling Martial Fool planned to stick close to him, but Ye Hao asked him to find a place to have some tea.
Ye Hao wasn't rejecting the Nanling Martial Fool but wanted him to learn to take care of himself and not always wait for others to care for him.
People have to grow up, and the earlier the better, the less worry for others.
Ye Hao walked around the Rain Pond, and when he discovered where Liang Yating was, he was stunned.
What was wrong with Liang Yating? Standing in the rain in the flower pond? What was she doing?
Ye Hao quickly walked over and called out next to the Rain Pond.
"Miss Liang..."
Liang Yating, soaked by the rain in the Rain Pond, outlined a graceful silhouette with her wet clothes, the curves of her upper and lower body perfect; any more or less would detract from her beauty.
So in this moment, Liang Yating was the most beautiful, but it was a scene that also evoked heartache.
What would drive a girl to stand alone in the rain like this?
Liang Yating, eyes closed under the rain, heard Ye Hao call her, her eyelids fluttering before slowly opening.
In Ye Hao's gaze, her eyes held exhaustion, reluctance, confusion, and a hint of helplessness.
"You're here, Chairman Ye." Liang Yating tried to smile.
"Come on, get up here, won't you?" Ye Hao called out.
"No, I want to..."
Liang Yating started to say she wanted to stay a bit longer, but Ye Hao directly walked into the Rain Pond and picked her up, carrying her to the side.
Ye Hao didn't know why he did it; he only knew that even in September in Yanjing, getting drenched meant catching a cold, so to avoid that, he simply and decisively picked her up.
The hold was pure, like an act of kindness.
"Chairman Ye..." In Ye Hao's arms, Liang Yating felt warmth. Ye Hao was a stranger in her world, yet this stranger had an intriguing allure for her.
When something happened, her thoughts turned to him.
"No matter how big the issue, it's not a problem once it's resolved. There's no need to use your fragile body to endure. Consider the perspective of us ordinary folks. You don't realize how we feel, watching a beautiful woman standing in the rain, it's a lot of pressure." Ye Hao remarked with a smile as he set Liang Yating down.
Meanwhile, using his Inner Breath, Ye Hao discreetly dried the water from her clothes.
He had to dry them; Liang Yating was too stunning, and any man would secretly admire such a gorgeous woman. Plus, Ye Hao was full of youthful vigor and had never experienced intimate moments with a beauty.
Looking longer might lead to unintended consequences.
"Eh? Why do I feel like I'm dreaming, wasn't I just in the rain?" Liang Yating asked, puzzled, as Ye Hao set her on the ground and she touched her clothes.
"Haha, with such a beautiful woman, who would let you stay all wet?" Ye Hao chuckled.
"You're telling the truth?" Liang Yating, realizing it was Ye Hao who dried her clothes, was curious about his skill.
"Of course." Ye Hao nodded with a smile and then walked with Liang Yating to sit on a nearby bench.
"Miss Liang, is there something you wanted to discuss with me today?" Ye Hao asked directly after sitting down.
"Haha, can't I look for you without a reason?" Liang Yating laughed bitterly.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world, but I know your time is precious, why would you seek me out for no reason?" Ye Hao joked teasingly.
"If Chairman Ye, you're a nobody, then what does that make me? A street rat everyone chases away?" Liang Yating replied with a pained smile.
"Did something happen?" Ye Hao noted her not-so-great expression and returned to the main point.
"My 'east home' has dropped me." Liang Yating straightforwardly stated.
"What do you mean by 'east home'?" Ye Hao looked at her perplexedly and asked.
