Xia Qing suddenly remembered and asked, "What''s your chat app ID? I''ll add you when I get back."

    Qin Hao took out a piece of paper and a pen, wrote down his chat app ID, and handed it to her.

    Xia Qing accepted the slip of paper, smiled, and said, "Remember to go online when you get back and accept my request, I''m heading out first."

    Qin Hao nodded, watched her until she was out of sight, and then headed back to his own home.

    When he arrived at home, Qin Youguo and Li Shujie were already there; Qin Hao greeted them and then went back to his room.

    The first thing he did was turn on his computer and log into the chat app, as soon as he logged in, the notification bell rang, and when he checked it, what popped up was a female avatar, the screen name was Xia Tianqinglang.

    Could this be Xia Qing? Isn''t this screen name kinda tacky?

    Qin Hao clicked accept, and the two became friends, he sent a message: "Xia Qing?"

    Xia Qing replied quickly: "Yes, that''s right. You''re quite fast."

    Qin Hao: "I just got home and turned on the computer."

    Xia Qing, pleased with his reply, asked: "Are your uncle and aunt home?"

    "Yes, they are. But isn''t your screen name a bit tacky?"

    Seeing his response, Xia Qing was speechless: "Tacky? Why does everyone say that? I think it''s quite nice."

    ...

    Seeing her message, Qin Hao was startled, how did she know? She couldn''t have just asked around, could she?

    Qin Hao: "Yeah, how did you know?"

    On the other end, Xia Qing was smiling: "Your classmate Chen Shuna and I are friends. I just asked her, and I heard that your grades are at the bottom of the class..."

    Qin Hao felt a bit embarrassed, since he had always been at the bottom of his class, and just now in front of Xia Qing, he had talked about attending Jianghai University, she might just think he was bragging.

    But before Qin Hao could respond, Xia Qing sent him another message: "Not going to talk now, my mom''s calling me."

    ...

    Qin Hao didn''t study; he lay in bed thinking about the next day, that afternoon he had to find Li Bao to help him neutralize Wang Qiang and his crew, it was going to be a real battle.

    In the past, fights at school were just minor scuffles.

    The fight with Wang Qiang tomorrow would be a true fight, even breaking limbs was a very real possibility, he had to be cautious.

    And this battle could only end in victory, not just to bring Li Bao and the others under his wing, gain achievement points, but also for his future plans.

    For his parents, for Du Wanrou, and for his future self, he had to give it his all.

    The next day

    When Qin Hao got up, it was already after nine in the morning, he washed up, and by the time he finished breakfast, it was already past ten.

    He got ready and dressed in casual attire before leaving his home, heading toward Xinghui Pool Hall.
