Dragon King's Son-In-Law

"I haven't slept well this month. Maybe... Can I sleep here?" Hao Ren looked at the bed and asked.

During the last 30 days, Hao Ren lived in a small hut in Purple Bamboo Forest. It couldn't keep out wind or rain, and there wasn't even a bed. He had to sleep on dried grasses.

Hao Ren lived an ascetic lifestyle for a month, not to mention the fierce battle he had with Zhao Kuo during the day. Therefore, he was utterly exhausted now and just wanted to have a good sleep on a nice bed.

"You... jerk." Zhao Yanzi turned around with her eyes wide-opened.

In fact, she didn't know where Hao Ren should sleep either. However, she knew Hao Ren had a tough month and wanted to let him rest well.

"Not refusing means you agree," Hao Ren smiled as he looked into Zhao Yanzi's eyes. He grabbed the blanket and got on the bed.

His body and clothes were clean and would not stain Zhao Yanzi's bed sheets.

"You..." Zhao Yanzi didn't know what to say as Hao Ren got onto her bed. She moved and made some space for Hao Ren.

She was always gloating over Hao Ren's misfortune on the surface, but she was worried about Hao Ren when he had to sleep in the woods while it was windy and rainy outside.

Hao Ren got onto the bed and stretched his legs.

Zhao Yanzi who was about to enter Grade 9 was still growing. Therefore, when Hao Ren laid down side-ways behind her, her feet were touching Hao Ren's knees.

As Hao Ren's right arm was initially resting between his belly and Zhao Yanzi's back, he wasn't comfortable. Therefore, he put his arm in front of Zhao Yanzi's belly and tested her reaction.

Zhao Yanzi's heart was beating very fast.

After all, they had more sweet moments with each other than arguing. Maybe Hao Ren was insensitive about those moments, but Zhao Yanzi did find it sweet when she recalled those memories.

Hao Ren was as insensitive as a high-school kid. However, Zhao Yanzi liked him that way. The feelings they had when they were with each other were very pure, very clear, much like the definition of first love at her age.

As a matter of fact, Hao Ren was nervous when he moved his arm. Zhao Yanzi was wearing cotton pajamas, and Hao Ren put his arm across her waist and stretched it out. After relaxing his arm, his elbow gently pressed against her small waist.

Hao Ren wasn't trying to take advantage of her. It was way too uncomfortable to put his arm in front of himself when he was lying sideways.

Then, Hao Ren slightly bent his legs and left arm before placing his left arm on the pillow and resting his head on it. Finally, he was comfortable.

Zhao Yanzi's ears were completely red. She thought that it wasn't appropriate for Hao Ren to do that, so she raised her right hand and grabbed Hao Ren's right arm.

Hao Ren's arm was heavier than she thought. The moment she grabbed Hao Ren's hand, her hand was caught by Hao Ren before she had a chance to throw it back.

Uh... Zhao Yanzi was flustered, and all strength left her body as Hao Ren held her hand.

Hao Ren could never understand a teenage girl's eagerness to fall in love. The moment her hand got held by Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi's mind went to a complete mess, and she started panting.

"What are you doing..." Hao Ren complained.

"You..." Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth.

"Jerk, jerk, jerk..."

Zhao Yanzi said that over 100 times in her mind. However, she did not make a huge reaction, physically.

When Hao Ren laid his arm across Zhao Yanzi's waist, symbolically hugging her from behind, his mind was struggling as well. As a matter of fact, he liked Zhao Yanzi, especially when she snuggled into his arms. The happiness he felt was as if he was a high-school kid and being in a relationship with Zhao Yanzi.

"I don't know what my mom is going to think if she knows we are doing this," Zhao Yanzi suddenly said.

"What will she think?" Hao Ren asked her intentionally.

Zhao Yanzi pinched Hao Ren's hand twice as a punishment. However, this little act caused Hao Ren's hand to move closer to Zhao Yanzi's belly. He could even feel the warmth of her body through the pajamas.

Hao Ren's slightly movement caused Zhao Yanzi to move her body toward him more. Her shoulders and back moved closer to Hao Ren's chest as if she were being held in his arms.

"Have you... ever done this... with Xie Yujia?" Zhao Yanzi asked hesitantly.

"No," Hao Ren replied immediately.

Even though he was holding Zhao Yanzi, he did not have any wicked thoughts as he thought she was very young. Yet, an indescribable feeling of trust and warmth slowly sprouted like a seed.

It was like two middle-schoolers who were caught in their first love. An intimate hug was already enough to make them happy and nervous.

"Then... Lu Linlin and Lu Lili?" Zhao Yanzi continued to ask.

"That..." Hao Ren could not answer.

"I knew it." Zhao Yanzi smacked Hao Ren's hand twice heavily.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Hao Ren immediately tried to pull his hand, but Zhao Yanzi grabbed his arm and refused to let him go.

It was at this moment, Zhao Yanzi moved even closer into Hao Ren's arms and was wrapped up in his arms and legs.

"Do you hate me?" Hao Ren wrapped his arm around her waist and asked.

"Who..." Zhao Yanzi stopped for a second, "I don't like you anyways."

"Who do you like then?" Hao Ren persisted.

"I like... Xie Xiaofeng from our high-school," Zhao Yanzi answered.

Although he knew she was speaking nonsense, Hao Ren couldn't help but feel jealous. He grabbed her small hands and asked, "Really?"

"Huh, yes," Zhao Yanzi pulled her hand away, which caused Hao Ren's arm to touch her chest.

Soft... A pleasant sensation came back from Hao Ren's arm.

Zhao Yanzi didn't wear anything under her pajamas, and the pajamas were made out of a very soft, light, cotton material... Zhao Yanzi was flustered, and her face immediately turned red.

Then, she felt Hao Ren's chin resting on her shoulder, and his short beard was poking around her neck as she was being held even tighter.

She was shy and blushing, but she was also nervous that Hao Ren's hand was going to do something else.

Zhao Yanzi was definitely sure that Hao Ren really liked her as he naturally held her in his arms.

"Um..." Hao Ren snorted deeply.

Zhao Yanzi turned around slightly and saw that Hao Ren... had fallen asleep.
