Chapter 65: 64, Charge towards the Capital like a Knight_1
At this moment, in Ren He’s eyes, if there were any creature in the world that was the most terrifying, it would be someone else’s mother, aside from his own.
If this had been when he was in his twenties, Yang Xi’s mother might not have looked at him so aggressively, but this was him at 16… This had nothing to do with whether he could make money or what his status was, this was about puppy love!
“Mom, why are you here?” Yang Xi said with surprise, and from her tone, Ren He could tell that even though Yang Xi’s mother had divorced Yang En, the relationship between mother and daughter was still quite good.
“Your dad said he was on a business trip, so he asked me to take you back to the Capital to look after you for a while,” said Yang Xi’s mother calmly, “Is this your classmate? Hello there, I’m Yang Xi’s mother, thank you for walking Yang Xi home. You should hurry back too, or your family will worry.”
Damn, what a strong presence, thought Ren He. Though she appeared to be expressing gratitude, it was really an eviction notice. Had Ren He been a 16-year-old kid, he probably would have been intimidated by her aura, but he wasn’t.
Inside, he really wanted to resist a little, to show his unyielding spirit, to let her know just how desperately, tirelessly, and resolutely he liked Yang Xi. However… Ren He smiled and said, “Okay, auntie, I’m going now.”
As he turned to leave, Ren He felt somewhat pained. Was he really going to spend the winter break alone? Yang Xi was evidently going to be taken back to the Capital; who can stand in the way when a mother-in-law takes her daughter back to her hometown?
Feeling so powerless…
No, wait… A smile crept onto Ren He’s face. Yang Xi, see you in the Capital!
Even though she was taken back to the Capital, he could still follow her. His plans could unfold in the Capital just the same, no delay!
That night, when Yang Xi sent Ren He a text message, he found out that her mother had actually taken her back to the Capital overnight, without staying in Luo City at all. In Yang Xi’s words, her mother was very busy and had a lot of work to do back home, so they had to return immediately.
Ren He was contemplating his plan when he suddenly saw Yang Xi’s text message: “You’re not mad, are you?”
“Of course not,” Ren He replied with a smile, “Go to sleep early, see you tomorrow.”
Yang Xi was stunned on the other end of the phone. What did he mean by see you tomorrow? Was it a slip of the tongue, or… She quickly sent Ren He a text asking what he planned to do, but she received no reply; it seemed as though Ren He had already fallen asleep!
Lying in bed, Ren He pondered. If he went to the Capital tomorrow, it would delay his mission far too much. Better to finish his task now!
It was midnight, the perfect time to complete his run in the courtyard and the task of climbing up the building using his hands from floors 1 to 7. A lap around the courtyard was about five hundred meters, which meant ten laps would be more than sufficient. Perfect!
He took his magnesium powder bag and went downstairs, only to see Duan Xiaolou still running. Ren He called out to Duan Xiaolou, “What are you doing running at this hour?”
“Just bored, and seeing how much you love to exercise, I thought I’d learn from you,” said Duan Xiaolou with a smile.
In fact, she didn’t know why she had suddenly felt the urge to run, round after round. Just the thought of Ren He running that afternoon after finishing exams, gave her a complex feeling.

It was as if he had already started a new phase in his life, while she was still clinging to her old trajectory. In a split second, she too wanted to break through.
It seemed as if the journey of transforming from a chrysalis into a butterfly was waiting for her.
Suddenly, Duan Xiaolou asked, “Hey, do you think it’s sad to live a life where you can see the end from the beginning?”
Ren He thought for a moment, “It depends on what kind of life it is, right? If I could see at a glance that I will always be very rich in my lifetime, I think that wouldn’t be too bad…”
Duan Xiaolou was puzzled, why wasn’t he playing by the rules…
Then she heard Ren He laugh and say, “Haha, I’m just kidding. I understand what you mean, but this question is doomed to have no answer, because whose life is unchanging? You can’t see the end. Take someone, for example, who has planned their life very well, and everything has been going smoothly. They became the class leader in high school, the student council president in college, joined a Fortune 500 company after graduation, and became an executive in middle age. At this point, they got cancer…”
When Duan Xiaolou first listened, she felt that what Ren He was saying aligned so much with her thoughts, but when she heard the last sentence, her face darkened. What kind of ending is that?! Can’t we have a proper conversation?!
“Haha, what I want to say is, life is full of unexpected twists and turns. Instead of thinking about the far future, better to focus on doing well in the present,” Ren He said cheerfully.
It seemed as if Duan Xiaolou got angry. She turned around and continued running, while Ren He wondered whether he should apologize since he wasn’t being serious, which wasn’t a proper response to a serious question. But then he heard Duan Xiaolou’s fading laughter as she ran away, “Thank you.”
Ren He always felt that this Duan Xiaolou was becoming a different person.
But the truth was, what he had just said to Duan Xiaolou was truly how he felt. Life itself is the biggest joke life plays on human beings. Regardless of whether a choice is right or wrong, once you’ve made it, you must live with it without regret.
There’s no going back.
Is it wrong to plan your life? But plans can never keep up with changes. What’s the use of being so meticulous in planning?
A girl who had meticulously planned her life, looking poised to enter society triumphantly, could see everything change in the blink of an eye. It’s very easy for such a transformation to occur, you just need to give her a boyfriend…
It can be a bit disheartening when plans fall apart, but Ren He felt that what’s most needed at this moment is to keep moving forward relentlessly.
Once the thought arises, nothing can stand in its way!
Just like he had originally planned to whisk Yang Xi away on an arrogantly reckless adventure to commemorate their first winter vacation after reincarnation, as if they were eloping to the moon like teenagers, only to be mercilessly knocked down by his mother-in-law. Critical hit, with bonus bleeding effect, plus dizziness…
However, what he could do now was to drive his huge pickup, thundering towards the Capital!
Just like a Knight! Going to Devil’s Castle to rescue his loved one!
He wondered whether his mother-in-law would give him an even harsher response if she knew about the comparison Ren He had just made…
Ren He started running in the yard, all for the sake of tomorrow’s plan!
Now, Ren He was adept at carrying out tasks. He had done them many times, and even when combined they weren’t that frightening. 20 minutes later, Ren He stood triumphantly on the roof of the 7th floor, looking at the lights of Luo City as they gradually went out, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration. He was thankful for this rebirth, as without it, where would he find the courage to challenge his mother-in-law’s authority?
“Host completes the task, reward: Charm +1.”
“Come on, what kind of reward is this?”
