Chapter 74: 73, Auntie, I’m here to participate in the math competition_1
While the outside world was abuzz with the rumors about Ren He and Yang Xi, Yang Xi was casually enjoying late-night snacks by the street with Ren He, seemingly completely unaffected by the gossip.
Actually, Yang Xi was a bit nervous. She hadn’t even been this nervous when a mortar shell landed 300 meters away from the embassy while she was with Yang En in Africa, because Yang En had told her that the more powerful the motherland was, the safer it was in war-torn areas.
Of course, there were exceptions, but this saying usually held true.
She was anxious about what people would think and whether her singing had been up to her usual standard. However, with Ren He, who was so blithe and carefree, at her side, no matter what they had just done, hearing Ren He clamoring about being hungry and wanting to eat, Yang Xi would inexplicably calm down.
It was as if this person had some kind of magic.
“Don’t just focus on eating,” Yang Xi said with feigned annoyance, “how was my singing just now?”
“Perfect!”
“Don’t flatter me,” Yang Xi pushed him slightly, “I want the truth.”

“Haha, you’re perfect in my eyes everywhere,” Ren He said chuckling.
“Why suddenly…,” Yang Xi turned away to eat in silence, but a sweet feeling spread through her heart. At 15, Yang Xi was still a young girl. Ren He was her first love. She had never heard sweet nothings before, or maybe she had, but if so, they were automatically blocked out by her ears.
Just then, Yang Xi’s phone rang, the caller ID to her surprise was Jiang Siyao! Yang Xi instinctively looked at Ren He. Ren He swallowed the food in his mouth and said, “If she’s looking for me, and if she still wants to buy songs, tell her I haven’t been very inspired lately. Let’s wait until we graduate from junior high.”
Yang Xi nodded. The excuse was completely reasonable; after all, no one’s inspiration was endless, right? Even she herself felt it was appropriate. When Yang Xi answered the call, she heard Jiang Siyao laugh and say, “Did you two come to Capital together? I’ve seen the videos online. The fourth song sounded really good too. If you debuted with these songs, it’d be more than enough. You can just invite a few more songs later.”
Yang Xi hadn’t expected Jiang Siyao to suddenly bring up debuting. She paused and said, “He thinks it’s too early for me to debut.”
“Too early?” Jiang Siyao was taken aback. In her opinion, Ren He’s actions with Yang Xi must be aimed at helping her emerge into public view in this way. Since they were doing this, then of course she should start singing now, right? Why would it be too early? Moreover, Yang Xi’s popularity was high—it would certainly yield excellent results to strike while the iron was hot.
“Yes, too early. I think he makes a lot of sense, and I listen to him,” Yang Xi explained calmly. What she had longed for the most in the past was to be able to sing, but now she was not in a hurry because she felt Ren He would definitely take care of it.
“Let me treat you to a meal. I have a new album coming out next year…” Jiang Siyao said, but she was cut off halfway through by Yang Xi.
“He said… let’s wait until after junior high graduation, that’s half a year away. He’s not very inspired recently,” Yang Xi explained in a soft voice.
Jiang Siyao suddenly realized that Yang Xi’s speech was filled with him, him, him. It seemed that this silly girl’s world was now completely occupied by that boy.
But if saying she wants to commission a song means waiting six months, she would inevitably have to delay the release of her new album. To wait or not to wait? If she waits, what if the other party backs out last minute, wouldn’t she be at a great loss? But if she doesn’t wait, without a stunning song to anchor the entire album, even a diva could face a fall.
Jiang Siyao’s final decision was to wait!
“Alright, then I’ll wait for him,” Jiang Siyao hung up the phone. She had always been good at seizing opportunities; otherwise, she wouldn’t have achieved her current success. She trusted her instincts. A young man able to produce eight classic songs so quickly definitely had more potential than that. The scene where Ren He wrote a song on the spot in front of her had shocked her too deeply. She felt this young man was worth waiting for.
After hanging up, Yang Xi turned to Ren He with a smile and asked, “Is that okay to say?”
“It’s okay. Your task for next term is to first help you finish the remaining five songs. I can’t be bothered with anyone else,” Ren He couldn’t say that he didn’t want to take on so many tasks because the tasks were gradually getting more advanced. He always felt that if the progress was too quick, he might be faced with an extremely terrifying level of tasks in a very short time. According to the nature of the Divine Punishment System, he might not fail to complete the tasks, but they would certainly be very complex. By that time, his peaceful student life would be unsustainable.
Moreover, the punishments were beginning to evolve in a direction that he couldn’t comprehend. What kind of bizarre punishments were these…
However, one thing worth celebrating was that at least he wouldn’t be erased anymore for doing the tasks. If it really came down to it, he could just endure it…
On the night when Ren He escorted Yang Xi home, she saw the lights on at her house and whispered “Uh-oh”, Su Ruqin was home!
Su Ruqin had clearly told her not to run around outside. Yang Xi wasn’t scared of Yang En, but she was afraid of her strong-willed mom. She needed to think about how to explain things when she got home.
However, as the two of them got out of the car and walked towards her house, they saw Su Ruqin standing calmly under the street lamp at the intersection, just watching them. Ren He’s calves started to tremble; damn, his mother-in-law’s presence was strong, and last time in Luo City, things had gone well, but this time they were in the Capital.
He had already understood that Su Ruqin’s assertiveness had nothing to do with his identity, his family, or whether he was talented or rich. Her family lacked none of these and so wouldn’t focus too much on these aspects. Su Ruqin was concerned about the nature of the issue – this was early romance!
Imagining if his own daughter dared to follow a little boy around when she was 15, and even travel thousands of miles to the Capital to find him, by this time next year, the boy’s beheaded grass might be several meters tall!
Now, to think of Su Ruqin’s feelings at this time…
“Auntie, I came to participate in the National Mathematical Olympiad. I found out that Yang Xi was in the Capital, so I came to talk to her about studying!” Ren He said with forced calm.
However, Su Ruqin just looked at him quietly without saying a word. Ren He immediately felt a pang of irritation. He wouldn’t panic if she scolded him for anything, but this unnerving silence was the worst…
It was as if she had seen through everything, but was just quietly watching him spout nonsense.
Su Ruqin finally spoke, “The Mathematical Olympiad? No longer building the motherland? Not contributing to socialism anymore?”
Add what bricks… Oh shit, Ren He inwardly exclaimed with dismay – she knew about this too, which meant she must have found out from the videos circulating online!
