At this moment, the demand not to let Su Ruqin run around recklessly could be cast aside in Yang Xi’s mind. She laughed and said, “Gongyuan West Street, can you find it?”
“Wait for me!” Ren He said with a laugh before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Xi realized how intensely her heart had been beating, as though everything was within reach. This boy had appeared in her life in a miraculous way, and then time and again showed his various magical qualities, as if he could always create miracles.
Now, he had brought her another huge surprise!
Yang Xi began to ponder what kind of clothes she should wear to meet him. Where should she take him to have fun in the Capital? What should she treat him to eat?
So many questions rushed to her mind, but now they seemed a bit overwhelming, and her thoughts were a mess. For the first time, the girl in love seemed not so independent. Yang Xi stood in front of the full-length mirror in her room, looking at her flustered reflection, and suddenly laughed. She had claimed to be independent, but wasn’t she just a little girl after all?
But she only felt this way in front of him.
While Yang Xi was getting ready, Ren He was marvelling at how truly big the Capital really was. Though the distance on the navigation didn’t seem exceptionally far, it took so long to drive!
In Luo City, Ren He’s conspicuous pickup truck was still an eyesore, and what stood out was its size… Just when he was rushing for time, Officer Zhou stopped him for an inspection of his driver’s license and vehicle registration…
It seemed that Officer Zhou, standing across the street, found something off about the young face under Ren He’s cap and instinctively wanted to check it out…
The feeling was like encountering a shabby van on the road, but the license plate reads ‘88888’!
It just didn’t fit!
However, after looking over and over again, Officer Zhou couldn’t find anything wrong, returned the driver’s license to Ren He with a wave, and let him go. Ren He was incredulous, wondering whom he had offended to receive such treatment upon entering the Capital.
By the time he made it to the location, Yang Xi was standing on the roadside, dressed casually. Ren He smiled—that was the most genuine side of Yang Xi in his eyes.
Yang Xi had been waiting on the sidewalk, not sure for how long, and she was completely unaware that Ren He was sitting in the slowly stopping pickup truck beside her. Wearing his cap low, Ren He jumped out of the truck; he noticed Yang Xi hadn’t even glanced his way, apparently not considering Ren He would arrive by car, so she automatically filtered out the truck.
Sneaking up behind her, he covered Yang Xi’s eyes with his hands, “Guess who!”
“Ren He!” Yang Xi pulled his hands away and turned excitedly towards him. It really was Ren He—he had actually come to the Capital! For a while after hanging up the phone, Yang Xi hadn’t quite believed that what she heard on the phone was true; she had thought that Ren He might just be joking with her.
After all, which ordinary middle schooler could so recklessly say he would go somewhere and then do it?
That’s a middle schooler for you!
Yet, the reason she still stood here waiting was because, in her heart, Ren He was extraordinary.
Perhaps it was only during one’s youth that someone would embark on a journey with no second thoughts, solely for affection, and that was also the time when someone would believe in others without reservation.
Yang Xi, holding on to Ren He, was ready to go: “How long has it been since you ate? I’ll treat you to roast duck!”
At this point, she had completely forgotten about her mother, Su Ruqin. Yang Xi wished she could follow Ren He to the ends of the earth; wandering the world with him was no issue at all.
But Ren He felt eating was secondary; what to eat was even less important. Tonight was the main event. The mere thought of what might happen tonight nearly had him jumping with excitement. However, he couldn’t tell Yang Xi about it just yet.
Peking duck is a world-renowned dish from BJ, developed by the Han Chinese during the Ming dynasty. At that time, it was a court food. The duck used is a high-quality breed known as BJ duck roasted with fruitwood charcoal. The resulting dish has a reddish color, the meat is fatty without being greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
To tease Yang Xi, Ren He used the duck-eating method he learned from a video in his former life. He unfolded a pancake in front of his mouth, dipped the duck meat and green onion into the sauce, and without rolling it up, he stuffed both the meat and the pancake directly into his mouth with his chopsticks!
“Your way of eating…” Yang Xi complained while handing him a napkin; Ren He had gotten sauce all over his face due to his inexperience.
“Haha, I say, you have to eat Peking duck unrestrainedly, bite into a burger with big bites, and slurp noodles loudly. I told Elder Zhou, ‘The common is the elegant.’ It doesn’t matter what others think. The most important thing is that you enjoy your meal!” Ren He said cheerfully.
“Yeah, right, you’re just lazy,” retorted Yang Xi, rolling her eyes. She stopped eating and started rolling Peking duck pancakes for Ren He. The rolled-up ducks looked like little spring rolls arranged in front of him.
Ren He couldn’t remember anyone else who rolled Peking duck pancakes for him and placed them in front of him except for his incredibly busy mother. His mood suddenly softened. “After we finish eating, let’s buy a couple of duckbill hats. I’ll take you out tonight to cause a stir!”
In the end, not only did they buy duckbill hats for the couple, but Ren He also shelled out for dark clothes that were crisp and sharp for both of them, saying that the activities planned for that night were quite significant, so a more intimidating outfit was appropriate.
This brought joy to Yang Xi, who thought there were so many absurd reasonings with this person.
As night fell, Ren He drove Yang Xi toward the direction of Back Sea in a big pickup truck.
“Where are we going? Whose car is this?”
“You’ll see when we get there. Of course, it’s mine,” Ren He said with a smile in his eyes. “Last time you called me a nouveau riche, so I decided to go a little further in that direction!”
“What a character,” Yang Xi said, not bothering to entertain him. “Why do I get the feeling you have some grand plan up your sleeve?”
“Haha, just wait and see,” Ren He said as they arrived at Back Sea. He parked the car and immediately pulled Yang Xi into a bar.
The two had been dawdling around, and by the time they got there, it was already 10:30 PM—the busiest time. As Ren He pushed open the door to the bar, he saw the two people they had met during the day sitting at the entrance, who seemed to vaguely remember Ren He as well.
Inside the bar, there was a loud and bustling crowd drinking and chatting. In the middle of the bar, a team was setting up equipment. Among all the people, a particularly dazzling young man was being surrounded and propped up by everyone.
Could he be the Wang Quan who had a song that went viral recently?
The bar attendant approached them with a smile. “Please come in. What would you like to drink?”
“Buddy, we’re not here for drinks today,” Ren He said with a mischievous smile under his duckbill hat. At that moment, for some reason, everyone in the bar was drawn to him and Yang Xi, with their deadly serious attire and the hats pulled so low that only the area below their noses could be seen.

The attendant paused for a moment. “Then what are you here for?”
“To challenge!” Ren He’s voice was loud, so loud that Yang Xi next to him instinctively tightened her grip on his hand.
For a moment, there was silence in the bar. The drinking stopped, the chatting ceased. Had they heard something wrong…?
Holy shit, someone’s here for a showdown!
