Chapter 45

Women are truly mysterious. If Ding Hao had recklessly taken her at the time, she might have cried after waking up as well. Now, Ding Hao acted like a gentleman, stopping at the last moment to preserve her innocence and apologize for his previous misconduct, yet she still cried!

Gu Wen kept crying, and Ding Hao naturally became even more flustered. But since Gu Wen wouldn’t open the door, he couldn’t rush into the bathroom. He had to return to the sofa and wait for Gu Wen to finish crying and then judge him!

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Wen finally came out of the bathroom: "Do you have a jacket? Lend me one."

"Sure, sure!" Ding Hao, like a prisoner who had been released, rushed into the bedroom and dug out a few jackets for Gu Wen to choose from. Gu Wen took one and put it on, then tidied up her own jacket and put it in a plastic bag. All of this was done in silence. After finishing, Gu Wen sat down on the edge of the bed and looked up at Ding Hao.

This was absolutely the most awkward and silent moment of Ding Hao’s life! Finally, he mustered the courage to say to Gu Wen, who was sitting on the bed, "I’ll take you home."

"Okay!"

The two, who had prepared countless words, were unwilling to break the calm. They went down the stairs one after the other, took a taxi to Gu Wen’s house, and didn’t speak a word on the way...

Not until they got out of the car and Ding Hao sent Gu Wen to her building did she turn around and say to him, "I know I was drunk. Even if you... I wouldn’t blame you. I was willing!"

"Thank you, I had a great year!" Ding Hao didn’t know how to respond, and suddenly blurted out this. If you had said that earlier, I would have definitely done it, I swear! Facing such a little beauty, especially one without clothes, you don’t know how hard it was for me to hold back!

"Thank you, I love you! Peck..." Gu Wen quickly kissed Ding Hao on the cheek and ran off.

Ding Hao touched his saliva-covered face and smiled. Women are indeed fickle, loving one moment and hating the next!

Gu Wen, from a distance, was very satisfied with Ding Hao’s reaction, waved to her, and then entered the building. If Ding Hao had really taken advantage of her, she wouldn’t have regretted it; in fact, that was what she hoped for. Because she liked Ding Hao!

Of course, Ding Hao, being a gentleman, didn’t take advantage of her, and Gu Wen had no reason to blame him. Such a man is reliable and even more worthy of her love! But there was still Xia Lin in between. Thinking of Xia Lin, Gu Wen’s mood darkened...

On the way back to school, Ding Hao realized his phone was off. When he turned it on, there were countless messages. There were over ten missed calls, including one from Zeng Ya, one from Chen Tao, four from Chen Fang, and Xia Lin calling every half hour, a total of eight times! It seemed he wasn’t alone; there were still many people who cared about him.

Looking at the screen full of messages and missed calls, Ding Hao suddenly felt he wasn’t as pitiful as Gu Wen had said. Checking the time, it was already past ten. It turned out Chen Fang and Xia Lin both had the same goal: to have Ding Hao spend the New Year at their homes. Chen Fang’s goal was to take advantage of the holiday to get Ding Hao, while Xia Lin was following her parents’ request to invite Ding Hao for a family dinner!

Sigh, the phone was off, but it was better that way. Otherwise, if he went to Chen Fang’s house and Xia Lin found out, she would definitely be very angry. And if he went to Xia Lin’s house and Chen Fang found out, she probably wouldn’t let him off until midnight. But now both of them must be very angry, especially Xia Lin, who would be furious if she knew Ding Hao had turned off his phone to drink with Gu Wen and almost had a passionate encounter... Ding Hao shivered involuntarily! That girl Gu Wen is really something!

Ding Hao suddenly felt that these women were actually quite cute, but unfortunately, modern society only allows one wife... Thinking about what happened with Gu Wen, Ding Hao suddenly felt that being a man is all about the lower half, such a profound statement! Chen Fang is actually pretty good too; if she drugs me again next time, I’ll just go with it.

But out of politeness, he should send New Year’s greetings to his relatives and friends and then call Xia Lin and Chen Fang to explain. By the time Ding Hao got back to his rental, he had basically finished making the calls. Xia Lin just thought Ding Hao was being mysterious and didn’t say much, but Chen Fang was practically a怨妇 (yuanfu, a woman who is bitter and resentful)!

It’s no wonder. Ding Hao is a high school student, and a senior at that, usually focusing on his studies, which Chen Fang understands. But now that it’s vacation, and he’s not going home, it’s clearly intentional avoidance!

Since the last time Ding Hao saved Chen Fang from Zhang Yongwei, Chen Fang has been determined to get him, no matter what! But Ding Hao keeps dodging her. Chen Fang knows that with such a young and inexperienced boy, she can’t be too forceful, or it might make him dislike her.

In high school and college, there will be plenty of beautiful girls. If Ding Hao doesn’t have feelings for her, he’ll forget her in no time! But building feelings is so hard, and Ding Hao keeps avoiding her. This can’t go on! Chen Fang is considering drugging him again!

But Ding Hao ultimately didn’t give Chen Fang the chance. On New Year’s Day, Ding Hao went back to his village, had lunch at Xia Lin’s house, and then returned to school. Once back, he dove into the magical space! During this rare holiday, Ding Hao naturally wanted to level up and earn money faster! Over these seven days, the things he worried about didn’t happen.

Gu Wen didn’t come to bother Ding Hao every day like in TV dramas. She only occasionally sent a text to check on him, which made Ding Hao feel a bit embarrassed. Later, Gu Wen even said in a text that she wouldn’t ruin Ding Hao and Xia Lin’s relationship, only hoping that Ding Hao would remember her kindness! Ding Hao helplessly replied, "Silly girl!"

Actually, Ding Hao hadn’t decided whether he would be with Gu Wen or pursue Xia Lin. He didn’t want to hurt Gu Wen, but he was more attracted to Xia Lin. Although he and Gu Wen had had several close and ambiguous encounters!

Feelings are so mysterious. If Gu Wen had been desperate, Ding Hao might have let go of Xia Lin and taken responsibility for Gu Wen. But Gu Wen seemed very relaxed and didn’t do that, which was like giving Ding Hao free rein!

After seven days of intense effort, the results were very significant. Ding Hao leveled up two more times in the space. Considering the need for equipment after changing his class, he increased his strength after raising his intelligence to 152! At level 18, Ding Hao received several special potions that permanently increased his strength and intelligence, further enhancing his abilities.

Level 18

Strength 181

Constitution 118

Intelligence 152

Spirit 118

Agility 118

...

With the bonuses from logistics skills and stone skin, Ding Hao’s movement speed was 35% faster than the average adult male, and his attack and defense were several times better than normal! Since he could change his class at level 20, Ding Hao planned to reach level 20 before the independent admissions in March, then focus on the upcoming independent admissions. If he could enter Zhejiang University early, that would be great; otherwise, he would have to take the college entrance exam in June.

After the new semester started, life in the senior year became even more intense. Gu Wen quickly took the physical test, and her results were good. She then fully devoted herself to reviewing her academic subjects. So, the number of times she visited Ding Hao’s rental decreased significantly. Each time he saw Gu Wen, Ding Hao felt a pang of pain.

In his heart, he had already undressed Gu Wen, and she had been so proactive. He wanted to make her his woman. But this silly girl seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, especially when Xia Lin was around, she barely spoke to him.

Ding Hao had to take the initiative. Each time he asked her what school she planned to apply to, Gu Wen insisted on Beijing Normal University! And each time she said it, her face seemed to twitch, because she had already learned from the side that Ding Hao was determined to apply to Zhejiang University and was encouraging Xia Lin to do the same. According to their current grades, they should be about the same.

Gu Wen also wanted to apply to Zhejiang University, but it was clearly a bit difficult for her academically! And her parents wanted her to apply to a teacher’s college to save on tuition. This was also one of the reasons she had been avoiding Ding Hao recently.

If she went to Beijing Normal University, and Ding Hao and Xia Lin both entered Zhejiang University, her chances would be even slimmer. Gu Wen is a big-hearted girl; she didn’t want to use the incident to tie Ding Hao down, knowing that it would only make him dislike her and lose him faster!

After the New Year, the various close interactions between Ding Hao and Gu Wen were quickly noticed by Ma Zhen. She brought Xia Lin to Ding Hao’s rental several times to question him, but Ding Hao was quick on his feet and didn’t reveal anything. The upcoming February mock exams helped Ding Hao a lot.

Because he historically became the top student in the entire grade. Who says I’m in an early romance? Can early romance lead to such good grades? Many teachers were used to this; they had taught many graduating classes and knew that some boys in their senior year had a lot of drive and often surpassed many girls in the last semester.

This is due to both physiological and psychological reasons. Most girls mature earlier than boys and have various burdens. Xia Lin, for example, was putting in a lot of effort but still fell back. Although she only dropped from third to fifth in the grade, it made Xia Lin very nervous!

After the results came out, Xia Lin sent a text to Ding Hao: "Do you have time tonight? Can you walk with me after class?"

"Sure!" In his memory, this was the first time Xia Lin had taken the initiative to invite him, and at night. Ding Hao was naturally a bit excited. He didn’t attend the evening study session, went back to the dorm early, took a shower, combed his hair, and then went to the classroom to wait for Xia Lin.

"Why do you look so carefree, yet your grades keep improving? And I..." After they came to the playground, Xia Lin asked Ding Hao.

"Hehe, maybe I have more potential. Actually, it’s not that you’re falling behind, but that we’re improving faster, so you don’t need to worry."

"Next week is the registration for the independent admissions exam. Have you decided yet?"

"Long ago, Zhejiang University."
