Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 37 Little Thoughts

On the way home with Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with a thoughtful look.

"What's wrong?"

"The girl I met today reminded me of someone."

Hearing the ethereal voice in his ear, Huo Yuhao began to explain.

"Judging by the time, Shrek Academy should be on holiday by now. Sister Xiaoya should be back by now, right?"

He remembered that Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were roommates in his previous life. Now that Jiang Nannan had returned, Tang Ya was probably going to be home soon.

"Is this the girl your aunt mentioned before, the one you took in?"

Actually, in my mother's eyes, you're in the same situation.

Huo Yuhao nodded with a twitching at the corner of his mouth, but the image of that last hug when he took Tang Ya to school flashed through his mind.

The thought of this gave Huo Yuhao a headache.

How did it suddenly turn out like this?

He felt like he hadn't done anything...

Although he was in a bit of a dilemma, he would still make the same choice if he had to choose again.

There are some things he would do even if it meant being struck by lightning, and he would never regret it.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

The excessive consumption of his mental energy left Huo Yuhao unable to think about these things anymore. On the way back, the sky gradually darkened, people came and went on the streets, many shops closed one after another, and vendors headed home.

A moment later, a vendor pushing a cart came towards them. It was the same vendor who had bought popsicles from the two of them that afternoon. It seemed that their good looks made a deep impression on the vendor, who recognized them immediately and joked with them.

"Hey buddy, not buying one for your girlfriend too?"

"Well"

Huo Yuhao inexplicably recalled the popsicle that had been stuffed into his mouth that afternoon. He subconsciously looked to his side, only to find that Gu Yuena was also looking at him.

Meeting those amethyst-like eyes, he asked hesitantly.

"Do you want some?"

"want."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked at the vendor and nodded, "Then I'll have one."

"Okay."

The vendor immediately stopped his cart, smiled, took the money from Huo Yuhao, opened the lid of the insulated box, took out an ice pop wrapped in oil paper, and handed it to him.

"Young man, here you go."

Taking the popsicle from Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena tilted her head and asked, "Aren't you going to eat one?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at the popsicle in Gu Yuena's hand, smiled, and shook his head.

"No need, you eat it."

"yes."

Gu Yuena tore open the oil paper, and just like in the afternoon, stuck out her pink little tongue to lick the popsicle, and then continued speaking.

"You seemed to enjoy your meal this afternoon, so I thought you liked it."

Huo Yuhao's expression twitched.

"Let's go back quickly."

After saying that, he unconsciously quickened his pace, while Gu Yuena just blinked twice, said nothing, and silently followed.

As soon as I opened the door, the sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen. As if hearing the noise, a small head with a ponytail peeked out from behind the door.

"Yuhao, you're back."

"Sister Xiaoya, when did you get back? Oh, by the way, who is this person over here?"

"Gu Yuena, right?"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Ya came out with a plate of food, placed it on the table, and smiled at Gu Yuena.

"My aunt has already told me. Hello, hello, from now on we're family."

Huo Yuhao wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Tang Ya's smile was a little stiff when she looked at Gu Yuena, while Gu Yuena beside him nodded calmly in greeting.

"Hello there."

Tang Ya then looked at Huo Yuhao again, "I came back this afternoon, but Yuhao, why are you only coming back now? Did something happen?"

"I met a patient when I went to the clinic to buy medicine, so I helped him out, and the problem is solved now."

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao decided not to mention Jiang Nannan's mother. After all, she had never mentioned it to them in his previous life, so there must be something inconvenient about it. Looking at Tang Ya, who seemed a little different, he asked softly.

"How was your year at the academy?"

"Hmph, I reached level 20 not long after enrolling, and with the help of the academy teachers, I obtained my second spirit ring. Now I'm a Great Spirit Master."

When Huo Yuhao asked her, Tang Ya smiled and shook her head, her tone quite smug.

"Moreover, my roommate and I both got first place in the freshman assessment and were named core disciples of the School of Foreign Languages. Now we are quite well-known in the School of Foreign Languages."

"Yeah?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, but he wasn't too surprised. After all, Tang Ya, who was no longer suppressing her devouring ability, was definitely one of the top talents in Shrek Academy, so it was understandable that she was chosen as a core disciple.

Being selected as a core disciple will also mean receiving preferential treatment in terms of resources, allowing Tang Ya to improve her cultivation faster.

Thinking of this, he looked at Tang Ya: "Sister Xiaoya, what is your soul power level now?"

"Level 25."

As if she had been waiting for his question, Tang Ya raised her head, her little nose almost pointing to the sky.

"What? Do you think I'd get carried away and neglect my cultivation because of a little achievement?"

That's definitely an idea I've had.

Huo Yuhao coughed awkwardly twice, feeling very gratified.

At this rate, Tang Ya will be able to advance to the Soul Master realm in her second year. Compared to her previous life, when she only advanced to the Soul Master realm at the end of her third year, in this life she can barely be compared to Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.

If one were to utilize the Dark Blue Silver Grass's ability to absorb life force, the cultivation speed would likely be even faster.

It's time to put training on the agenda.

Just as he was pondering, he suddenly noticed that Tang Ya in front of him was making a movement. He subconsciously looked up and saw that Tang Ya had raised her arms and was looking at him expectantly.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I haven't hugged you in a year."

Huo Yuhao's expression twisted for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he gently hugged her.

The soft, delicate body nestled in his arms, carrying a faint fragrance, which relaxed his weary mind a little. Before Tang Ya started school, her favorite thing to do was to hug him from behind and pretend to read a book.

However, she didn't even turn two pages of the book all afternoon...

Girls generally develop their bodies much earlier than boys, and Tang Ya is three years older than him, and is currently half a head taller than him.

However, this was still considered good. Just thinking about how Zhang Lexuan had held him like a doll in the Star Dou Great Forest last time made Huo Yuhao feel a deep sadness.

Fortunately, not many people saw it at the time.

After hugging Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya glanced at Gu Yuena seemingly unintentionally.

Seeing the other person sitting expressionlessly to the side, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly before she rested her head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, gently sniffing his scent. Her hands, however, were restless, stroking his body as she felt the growth of his body over the past year.

"Yuhao, you seem to have gotten paler?"

At first, Tang Ya thought it was her imagination, but after observing it up close, she realized that it was true.

"I absorbed a spirit ring in the Star Dou Great Forest and that's how I ended up like this."

Huo Yuhao explained softly, then seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, and asked again.

"Xiaoya, now that you're quite well-known in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, don't any classmates or upperclassmen try to chat you up?"

"Of course! During the initial enrollment period, people would come every day, but—"

Huo Yuhao felt the hands holding him tighten, and then he heard Tang Ya's smiling voice in his ear.

"However, most of them stopped bothering me after I scolded them."

"I have Xiao Yuhao, that's enough."

P.S.: There's a seven-day double monthly pass event at the beginning of the month, please cast your monthly passes!
