After their conversation ended, Huo Yuhao briefly said goodbye to Ju Zi and then left.
For the next few days, Huo Yuhao's daily routine was very regular, going back and forth between three points: first, he would clock in at the lab, then go to the cafeteria for a meal, and finally lie down on the pavilion.
During this period, Ji Juechen came over every day, wanting to spar with Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao had no choice but to fight him to a standstill, but ended up suffering a crushing defeat.
As a result, Ji Juechen became happier and happier as he fought Huo Yuhao, and even regarded him as his only opponent, sparring with him every day.
Even though Huo Yuhao was basically about to concede defeat in the next few fights, he still enjoyed it immensely, as if he had gained a lot from him.
This led to Jing Ziyan frequently challenging Huo Yuhao to sparring matches, which gave Huo Yuhao a real headache.
In the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao was entangled with the two for three days. In the end, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to hide in the laboratory every day.
Huo Yuhao arrived at the laboratory early in the morning. Ju Zi was dressed in a maid outfit, with long, fair legs above the black lace skirt, exuding her unique charm with every gesture.
Ju Zi carefully placed the tea in front of Huo Yuhao, and then began to diligently clean the laboratory.
Whenever Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao are alone, this is how they interact.
Ju Zi didn't complain at all, after all, she was used to it. If Huo Yuhao hadn't saved her and her father, she might have died long ago.
Furthermore, Huo Yuhao brought her back to the Duke's Mansion, arranged a suitable place for the father and daughter to stay, and helped her Huo Yuhao reopen the restaurant. After that, Ju Zi began to take care of Huo Yuhao's daily life.
The two gradually got used to their current way of getting along, and of course, it was Huo Yuhao who gave Zhou Xuan'er her name.
Ju Zi worked quickly and finished cleaning up in no time. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and while Huo Yuhao wasn't looking, she sneakily took Huo Yuhao teacup, took a big gulp, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
Huo Yuhao glanced at her and said, "If you want to go back to the Star Luo Empire, you can go back for a few days. After all, Father still mentions you."
"Dad? I want to eat his cooking too, but let's finish what we've got here first," Ju Zi said, blinking her big eyes and pouting.
Da da da!
Before Huo Yuhao could think of what to say, footsteps sounded outside.
Ju Zi immediately changed her clothes, then sat back down, took out her carving knife, and began to pretend to carve.
Huo Yuhao turned around and took out the book left by Xuan Ziwen to read.
A beep.
The laboratory door opened, and a petite girl rushed in. Her face wasn't as beautiful Ju Zi's, and she was about 1.6 meters tall.
When she saw the Ju Zi, her eyebrows arched and her smile was radiant; she was quite pleasing to the eye.
" Ju Zi, why have you been going to the lab every day lately?" Ke Ke laughed and hugged Ju Zi's neck from behind, pressing her little face intimately against Ju Zi's cheek.
As she looked up, she saw Huo Yuhao. Her eyes widened in shock, her expression froze instantly, and she seemed to release her grip on his hands, like a child who had done something wrong, falling silent in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, two more male students walked in through the door.
Huo Yuhao glanced at them but didn't pay them any mind. He simply greeted the others as "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters" before continuing to read.
However, the two were quite surprised to see Ke Ke suddenly quiet down, wondering if something had happened.
Originally intending to ask a question, Ke Ke instead sat down next to Ju Zi and quietly began making Soul Tool.
Wang Shaojie and Zi Mu were both a bit confused, so they had no choice but to strike up a conversation with Huo Yuhao.
Ju Zi spoke first, "This is Huo Yuhao, an exchange student from Shrek. Teacher Xuan thinks highly of him, so don't bully him."
Wang Shaojie laughed heartily and said generously, "How could that be? Don't you know who we are, Ju Zi?"
"But junior, is there anything you don't understand about your Soul Tool? Would you like me to explain it to you?" Wang Shaojie patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder with a smile, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes when he heard that Huo Yuhao was a student of Shrek.
Zi Mu didn't say anything, but simply introduced himself to Huo Yuhao, "My name is Zi Mu, and this is Wang Shaojie. We are both students of Teacher Xuan. You can ask us any questions you may have."
Wang Shaojie echoed, "Yes, junior, feel free to ask me anything, I'll answer to the best of my ability."
Huo Yuhao smiled politely, "My name is Huo Yuhao, thank you very much, seniors."
Then Huo Yuhao pointed directly to a rune in the book about an Class 8 Core Array and asked Wang Shaojie, "Senior Wang, could you explain the structure of this Core Array to me? Teacher Xuan showed it to me, but I don't quite understand it."
Wang Shaojie was taken aback. He hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to be so impolite. He had only said something polite, but Huo Yuhao had actually asked the question.
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Huo Yuhao's incredibly sincere eyes and instinctively accepted it.
However, when he saw the Core Array, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Shaojie, who seemed troubled, and raised an eyebrow in confusion, asking, "Senior, you wouldn't... you wouldn't, would you?"
"It's okay if I don't know. I can just ask Teacher Xuan tomorrow. Please don't feel pressured, senior."
"Who told you that! I can do it, of course I can!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shaojie regretted it, wondering why he had agreed so hastily just to save face.
He turned his head and glanced over, only to find that even Ju Zi and Ke Ke were staring in his direction. At this moment, he was truly in a difficult situation.
He coughed lightly twice, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stammered, "Well... well, junior, don't rush me... this question... how should I put it, it's a bit complicated. I'll go back and study it, and I'll give you the answer tomorrow."
"Really? Thank you so much, senior." Huo Yuhao smiled.
"Don't worry, junior, this is a small problem. It's just that the solution process is a bit complicated. You can wait until tomorrow!"
Wang Shaojie secretly gave Zi Mu a wink, then picked up the book and walked somewhat awkwardly toward the door.
Huo Yuhao called out towards the door, "Senior, this book belongs to Teacher Xuan, you definitely need to get it back tomorrow!"
Wang Shaojie, who was about to walk out the door, stumbled and almost fell to the ground, then slunk away.
Zi Mu smiled helplessly, said goodbye to Huo Yuhao and the others, and followed them.
Ju Zi giggled and laughed non-stop at the scene, covering her mouth and chuckling softly. She was still incredibly beautiful from every angle.
