Ren He had planned to go home to change his clothes, but Duan Xiaolou dragged him and Xu Nuo straight to the hotel.
By the time they arrived, the private room Duan Xiaolou had reserved was already occupied by a few people who were several years older than them, around 20 years old or so, comprising two men and three women.
“These are my cousin and the brothers and sisters who used to live in the same courtyard as us. They are all from the same cohort and just started college this year,” Duan Xiaolou explained.
“The same courtyard?” Ren He expressed that he had never seen them before.
Knowing what he was puzzled about, Duan Xiaolou explained, “They moved out later, but we all have a good relationship with each other.”
“Oh…” Ren He nodded. He also knew about the situation of their courtyard. Although it looked ordinary, it housed quite a few reputable people from Luo City. These people probably came from well-to-do families that belonged to the same social circle. But that had little to do with him—if someone had a good personality, he’d make friends; if not, he wasn’t planning to accommodate anyone.

Honestly speaking, among the three girls, two were particularly beautiful. Their beauty was different from Yang Xi’s natural allure; these girls knew how to dress and present themselves. One of them, after entering the private room and taking off her outer coat, revealed a purple knitted top with a deep V neckline that accentuated her figure and hinted at a mature charm. She exuded an alluring presence that made Ren He feel as if he were in a languorous and entwined environment.
Ren He glanced at Xu Nuo beside him—Little Fatty’s eyes were practically popping out of his head.
It was only after Duan Xiaolou introduced them that Ren He learned the mature-looking woman was named Xia Yuting, a freshman at the Kyoto Film Television Academy. A film and television major, huh? Ren He nodded, but didn’t pay it much attention.
One of them, a chubby guy named Huangfu Zhuri—Duan Xiaolou’s cousin—was somewhat interesting to Ren He. He was a poor student, so his family sent him to study in Australia. Naturally unable to control his eating, he constantly indulged himself, and surprisingly, he liked extreme sports…
This physique for extreme sports? At least rock-climbing must be quite tiring, right…?
However, Ren He naturally had a soft spot for such people, and Huangfu Zhuri, who was optimistic and cheerful like Maitreya Buddha, seemed rather simple-minded.
At first, he was worried that the age difference might result in the others being disinclined to chat with a kid like himself, but it turned out they were all quite easy to get along with.
When Xia Yuting noticed Little Fatty Xu Nuo was always looking at her, she took the initiative to graciously fill a bowl of soup for him. Xu Nuo’s chubby face flushed red in an instant, and he sat in his chair, not daring to move, not knowing where to put his hands!
Then Huangfu Zhuri loudly proclaimed, “Alright, Xia Yuting, stop teasing the middle schooler. Why can’t you ever abandon this mischievous habit of yours over the years?”
Huh, this was somewhat interesting. At first, Ren He thought Xia Yuting was quite a reserved older sister, but it turned out she had this playful side to her.
Xia Yuting stopped teasing Little Fatty Xu Nuo and said in an offhand manner, “You haven’t slimmed down over the years either. Looking at your social media posts, what’s this? You went rock climbing with your bare hands? Were you hoisted up there?”
“Bullshit, I’m somewhat famous in the extreme sports circles in Australia, okay?” Huangfu Zhuri retorted, annoyed and embarrassed.
“Famous… is it because of your physique?” Xia Yuting was merciless with her words, but Ren He could tell that they must have a very good relationship; this kind of teasing is usually found among close friends.
For some reason, Duan Xiaolou suddenly chimed in, “Ren He also seems to be into extreme sports. Brother, you could exchange some tips with him.”
Why bring me into it? Ren He quickly smiled and explained, “I just dabble for fun, to keep fit and healthy.”
The conversation was brushed off with a laugh, except for Duan Xiaolou.
For some reason, she was always trying to uncover the secrets about Ren He—secrets that attracted her like the most enticing candy.
At this moment, Huangfu Zhuri had no idea that this casual conversational topic would later bring him such a huge shock…
Suddenly someone laughed and said, “Xia Yuting, I heard some rich guy is planning to buy the film rights for Kunlun. They say he’s going to recruit student actors directly from your school, you heard about this?”
“Yeah,” Xia Yuting nodded, “I heard he’s a huge Kunlun fan, a real estate mogul. After finishing Kunlun he was so inspired he almost sold all his possessions to become a vigilante, but his family stopped him. Later, he decided he might as well turn it into a TV series.”
Ren He’s interest was piqued when he heard about anything related to Kunlun. A tycoon willing to buy the Kunlun rights? How rich? This was good news! Tycoons emitted an aura of warmth and wealth…
But he hadn’t heard Zhou Wumeng mention it, probably because the deal wasn’t final yet.
He had already told Zhou Wumeng that he would leave the rights entirely to him to handle, and he himself didn’t need to worry too much about it.
Plus, although he had finished writing Kunlun and submitted the manuscript, the serialisation had only just reached halfway, not yet the right time to actually work on the rights.
Ren He just listened happily, he loved it when people praised him to his face…
At that moment, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Ren He’s eyes lit up—it was Yang Xi who had arrived!
“Did you see your dad off?”
“Yeah, I didn’t go to the airport. They left from the hospital and I rushed here—apparently they didn’t allow a send-off. I don’t know why they had to be so secretive,” whispered Yang Xi after greeting everyone and sitting down next to Ren He.
Ren He wasn’t surprised, since he had already guessed that Yang En was on some important mission.
Meanwhile, the original group continued to talk about Kunlun, “Do we have the single volume edition of Kunlun for sale in Luo City now? If yes, I suggest you guys buy it and take a look, it’s really good!”
Huangfu Zhuri was unhappy. Pointing at the young man opposite him, he cursed, “I’ve heard about that novel, but you, you rascal, didn’t bring a set back from the Capital as a gift!”
“I brought one for you,” said Xia Yuting lightly.
“For real?” Huangfu Zhuri was overjoyed, but then as if struck by a sudden thought, his face turned dark, “What’s the condition?”
“Call me ‘big sister’.”
“Big sister.”
This exchange was done in one smooth flow, and left Ren He and others dumbfounded. Huangfu Zhuri really had no shame!
Ren He casually turned his head and suddenly noticed Yang Xi looking at him as if she had seen right through him.
In the entire private room, only Yang Xi knew that Ren He was the author of Kunlun!
When Yang Xi thought about this, she felt very happy, although the happiness was quite unreasonable.
Her best friend Song Ci had sent her the serialised chapters of Kunlun, and Yang Xi was now also one of Ren He’s loyal readers!
