Starting With One Million Luck Points Novel - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Troubled by Good News

Zhou Hao recalled that Zhang Yi and Xu Ling would be coming over tonight.

Therefore, he quickly cleaned the living room and went to the supermarket to buy some fruits. He also took out the good wine that his father couldn’t bear to drink.

Ding Dong.

Just as he finished packing, the doorbell rang. Zhou Hao hurriedly opened the door.

The person who entered his vision was Xu Ling, who had meticulously dressed up. Her hair emitted a delicate fragrance, as if it had just been washed. Her butterfly hair was stuck in a ponytail at the back and was decorated. Two strands of hair fell down from the left and right of her temples. Her eyelashes had also been combed again, and the skin on her face was spotless and fair.

Seeing that Zhou Hao was stunned on the spot, Xu Ling secretly smiled. Her eyes drifted to the living room and she whispered, “Where’s Uncle and Auntie?”

Zhou Hao returned to his senses and smiled. “They’re not back from work yet. Come in quickly.”

Xu Ling nodded slightly and walked into the living room to see the slippers placed at the side. She consciously took off her shoes and changed into them before looking around the living room curiously.

“Zhou Hao, where’s your room?” she asked.

“The room in the east is mine,” Zhou Hao replied before hurriedly entering the room.

Xu Ling wanted to spit when she saw this. “I bet it’s really messy in there. Hmph, why didn’t you work harder when you knew we were coming over tonight?”

Zhou Hao stood in front of Xu Ling again and said innocently, “No, I already cleaned it myself.”

Xu Ling looked at the living room suspiciously and touched the coffee table and dining table. “Not bad.”

Zhou Hao looked at Xu Ling’s elegant curves and could not help but recall her tightened figure in the virtual training environment. His mind heated up, and he went forward to put his hand on Xu Ling’s shoulder and smiled. “Xu Ling, there’s only the two of us now.”

It was obvious what Zhou Hao was trying to say.

Xu Ling was shocked, but she surprisingly did not resist. Instead, she lowered her head, her cheeks flushing. “What… what are you planning?”

Looking at Xu Ling’s blushing face, Zhou Hao did not say anything and lowered his head as he tried to kiss her.

Xu Ling’s body tensed up as her heart raced. Seeing that Zhou Hao was about to kiss her, she hurriedly closed her eyes shyly.

“Zhou Hao, I’m here!”

However, at this moment, a shout sounded from outside the door.

Xu Ling immediately pushed Zhou Hao away like a frightened rabbit and quickly walked to the sofa to sit.

Zhou Hao was speechless. He had finally gathered his courage and planned to get intimate with Xu Ling when Zhang Yi interrupted him.

He looked at Xu Ling, who was sitting on the sofa with her head lowered, and couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile.

Zhang Yi did not know that he had interrupted the two of them. Seeing that the living room door was open, he walked in. “Eh, Xu Ling, you’re already here?”

Xu Ling nodded like a chick eating rice.

Zhou Hao said angrily, “Zhang Yi, aren’t you supposed to be my best friend. In the end, you arrived even later than Xu Ling. Hurry up and change into your slippers.”

Zhang Yi scratched his head and said in embarrassment, “I went back to pack my house and missed a bus, so I was a little late.”

“Zhang Yi, why are you still taking the public bus? You should have made a lot of money from the training class as well as the combat assessment competition last time. Moreover, the demon warrior materials you killed are all yours. You don’t have to be so frugal,” Zhou Hao couldn’t help but say.

“I’m used to it already. It’s a habit I can’t change.” Zhang Yi smiled.

Seeing this, Zhou Hao did not continue to persuade him. He knew Zhang Yi’s personality.

“Where are Uncle and Auntie?” Zhang Yi asked when he saw that Zhou Hao and Xu Ling were alone.

Zhou Hao looked at the time. “They should be on the way.”

As he spoke, he made a call.

“Little Hao, what’s the matter?” His mother, Wang Shuyun’s voice sounded.

“Mom, two of my classmates came over today. Buy more food when you come back,” Zhou Hao said with a smile.

Wang Shuyun replied, “Alright, but I have something to do at the company today. I might go back later. Go buy some food first. Don’t let your classmate starve.”

“Alright.” Zhou Hao nodded.

After hanging up the phone, he placed the fruits he bought on the coffee table and looked at Zhang Yi and Xu Ling. “What do you two like to eat? I’ll go buy some and fill our stomachs first. My parents might be home late tonight!”

Zhang Yi shook his head. “I don’t have anything special that I like to eat.”

Xu Ling also shook her head. “Me too.”

“You two… Forget it, I’ll go to the supermarket first. You guys play with your phones first.” With that said, Zhou Hao jumped down from the balcony.

Xu Ling immediately chased up to the balcony and placed her hands on her small waist as she berated, “Zhou Hao, why did you jump off the balcony when the front door was open? You’re really something. Just because you have a little strength now… How arrogant can you get!”

“I’ll definitely go through the front door next time,” Zhou Hao’s voice sounded.

Xu Ling returned to the living room angrily and sat on the sofa to eat an apple.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, “Zhou Hao lacks someone to manage him.”

Xu Ling nodded without thinking. “Yes, he just lacks supervision.”

“Xu Ling, I think you’re quite suitable to be the supervisor,” Zhang Yi said in all seriousness, but there was a mischievous look on his face.

Xu Ling was stunned for a moment before she quickly reacted. Her cheeks flushed red, and under her thick eyelashes, her black eyes stared at Zhang Yi and said, “Zhang Yi, when did you learn to talk nonsense like Zhou Hao? How dare you tease me!”

Zhang Yi coughed lightly and said seriously, “I’m just happy. Although Zhou Hao is usually carefree, he’s also very competitive deep down. Previously, many people in the class looked down on him, but he never said anything or argued back. He just worked hard silently. Fortunately, hard work always pays off. He finally stood out in this combat assessment!”

Xu Ling was silent.

She knew how difficult it was for Zhou Hao to be in the training class. After all, every student around him was much stronger than him. In such an environment, anyone would feel immense pressure.

Many students would often give up under such pressure, and very few could work hard.

In the past, she also thought that Zhou Hao was the former, but after the combat assessment during the day, she finally understood that Zhou Hao had always been working hard.

It was precisely because she knew that he was working hard that she did not refuse when he tried to kiss her just now.

After all, hard working people deserved encouragement.

She was also very willing to encourage the person she liked.
