“Task: Complete the 1000-meter run within 2 minutes and 30 seconds, deadline one week.” Ren He only pondered briefly before deciding not to take this task to heart. He remembered that the world record for the 1000-meter run from his previous life was completed in 2 minutes and 11 seconds; his goal was far from reaching human limits. Based on his current weight and strength ratio, this task should not be too difficult to complete.
Seizing the most chaotic moment in class, Ren He took Yang Xi and ran out of the school, then headed for the rooftop of Yang Xi’s home. The moment the two ran out of the school gate, they exchanged a smile. Ren He laughed and asked, “Does this count as leading you astray? Have you ever skipped class before?”
“No… but I’ve wanted to try skipping class for a long time. Actually, the feeling of skipping class is pretty thrilling…” Yang Xi thoughtfully replied.
“Did you often travel abroad with your dad? Then how do you manage your schoolwork?” Ren He was always a bit puzzled by this question, wondering how you could keep transferring schools wherever you go.
“Self-study. Many of my courses and my music and instruments, I’ve learned through self-study. Fortunately, I’ve been able to keep up with the pace,” Yang Xi explained, “Usually, when I’m in a new place, I spend most of the time reading at home.”
“Does your dad take you around because he’s worried there’s no one to take care of you? What about your mom?” Ren He asked curiously.
“It’s not that he’s worried about me not being taken care of. My grandparents wanted to take me to live with them, but my dad was worried that I would pick up some bad habits. He thought it would be helpful for my mental growth to see the world, to see what countries with good and bad economic conditions are like. As for my mom… she and my dad got divorced. She started her own business, and sometimes they don’t even see each other for a year, so they just decided to get divorced,” Yang Xi mentioned her mother with a slight hint of sadness.
Worried about picking up bad habits living with grandparents? Ren He pondered how odd this statement sounded. He figured that Yang En was probably more concerned about Yang Xi picking up the habits of a spoiled child in the Capital, as it was quite normal for grandparents to spoil their grandchildren.
Regarding Yang Xi’s mom, Ren He guessed that they probably hardly ever saw each other. He had no idea what kind of woman she was—after all, she was his predetermined future mother-in-law…
Once they reached the rooftop, Ren He mysteriously pulled out a folded piece of paper from his pocket. Yang Xi had to hand it to him—why did he have to make it seem like a love letter? She snatched the paper from Ren He’s hand, “What song did you write this time?”
“‘Go to Dali,'” Ren He smiled, “Today, you don’t need to accompany me; I’ll do it myself!”
His guitar skills had mysteriously been raised to Master Level—frankly, it was somewhat unnecessary. He would have preferred another Tear Potion, but when faced with the situation, Ren He was someone who took things as they came.
Yang Xi’s face showed a look of surprise, “You can play the guitar? Why didn’t you mention it earlier?”
“Cough cough,” Ren He was slightly embarrassed; he had just received that reward, so he could only explain earnestly, “I don’t usually play for others. It has to be a qualified audience. Now, I think you’ve qualified!”
Yang Xi laughed out loud; she found that Ren He’s biggest trait was his shamelessness—but being with someone like that always brought her immense joy. She laughed and said, “Alright, stop showing off. Hurry up and sing for me.”
“Okay, listen up!” Ren He raised his eyebrows and instantly entered a certain mood. Yang Xi watched his demeanor and suddenly, inexplicably, felt that this boy she had encountered in the most beautiful years of her life seemed not as happy as she had imagined.
“Is it dissatisfaction with life?”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed; don’t know why.”
It was these two lines that seemed to openly expose the confusion in Ren He’s heart in front of Yang Xi. Yang Xi suddenly felt a tingling in her nose.
Beyond that, Yang Xi suddenly realized something! Ren He’s guitar playing seemed to have a magical power. It felt like magic, even though it was the same notes, but when played by Ren He, they seemed enchanting.
After Ren He finished singing the song, Yang Xi felt as if the guitar could make any song sound good, no matter who the accompaniment was for. She suddenly believed what Ren He had said before… I don’t usually play for others. It has to be a qualified audience. Now, I think you’ve qualified!
With such skill, you really can be proud not to play just for anyone!
She too was learning to play the guitar, but compared to Ren He, the gap was like that between heaven and earth. Watching Ren He sitting lazily on the rooftop, his fingertips lightly bouncing on the transparent strings, note by note streaming into her ears, Yang Xi had to admit, she was a bit moved.
She never felt before that she would admire someone that much, as she was too independent by nature. However, she suddenly realized that maybe she hadn’t encountered someone stunning enough.
Actually, thinking about it, the feeling of admiring this young man didn’t seem too bad!
Yang Xi hesitated for a moment and then asked, “You really have a talent for music, and your guitar skills could totally match your creative genius, but why…”
“We discussed this question quite a few times, didn’t we?” Ren He said with a smile as he handed the guitar back to Yang Xi. “My ambition isn’t in this field. I have other things I like to do more.”
“What things?” Yang Xi was curious.
“Hmm… I’ll tell you about it later,” Ren He said with a smile. “First, practice the four songs I wrote for you.”
In fact, Ren He remembered that there were certain requirements for songs in an album: a few of this type, a few of another, depending on the singer’s style. A variety of styles was to broaden the audience range.
But Ren He really wasn’t too knowledgeable about this. Maybe other singers would release an album featuring jazz or pop… but Ren He’s only criterion for choosing songs was simplicity… they had to sound good!
As far as he was concerned, if he wasn’t good at it, why bother wrangling over it? He couldn’t believe an entire album full of good songs wouldn’t sell.
He was very confident about these songs!

While practicing singing, Yang Xi suddenly looked up and asked, “How should I debut? By participating in a talent show?”
Ren He was stunned for a moment. “Won’t your cousin help you?”
“Actually, if she helped, probably the agency would give her face, but I heard their company is pretty messy, and I don’t really want to go there…” Yang Xi said, seemingly disheartened.
Scratching his chin, Ren He thought for a while and then said, “Don’t worry about it, I will handle it. Wait until the winter vacation!”
“What good method do you have?” asked Yang Xi with a smile. She didn’t know why, but now she always subconsciously chose to trust Ren He.
“The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. You’ll find out when the time comes!”
