Chapter 126: 125. Yang Xi Gets Jealous (Fourth Update Seeking Monthly Pass)_1

Yuan Peng watched the video of Ren He drifting around the corner on the internet and was on the verge of tears. Was it the instructor who taught wrong, or did he learn incorrectly?

Could it be that his own skills weren’t profound enough?!

He decided to give up on all his judgments and stake out the place where the drifting had occurred multiple times that very night. It seemed he had overcomplicated things when thinking about the opponent...

However, when he got there that evening, to his surprise, there were many others with the same intention of staking out the spot!

At first, everyone thought that the Luo City Good Driver wouldn’t drift there anymore and hadn’t planned to stake out at all, but now, they wondered, did the driver view this place as their home turf?

So, with nothing better to do on a Friday night, they all just brought some snacks and waited, hoping to witness the Good Driver’s imposing presence.

Looking at the throngs of people, Yuan Peng felt his heart might not be able to take it. With so many people around, even if he caught the driver, it wouldn’t be his exclusive news! He had been there for only a few minutes and already Yuan Peng had spotted two or three of his colleagues!

Before coming here, he hoped the driver would show up again, but now that he was there, he hoped they wouldn’t. If they didn’t show up, he still had a chance at getting the exclusive news...

When the time approached two or three in the morning, everyone gave up waiting for the Good Driver and dispersed, nobody was really willing to wait any longer. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Peng was left on his own, which delighted him immensely!

The opportunity had arrived!

He still remembered when the Knight first appeared, it was between 4 and 5 a.m., maybe it would be the same this time. The driver was clearly a night owl!

Haha, you impatient people, opportunities really are reserved for persistent and determined winners like me, Yuan Peng thought, practically elated to the point of bursting!

But the reality was that ever since 8 p.m., Ren He had been hanging out on the forum, cracking seeds and gleefully watching everyone’s live streams as they waited for the Good Driver. It was quite amusing, so many were waiting for him...

He wasn’t going to show up, though; he had already completed the second task. Now that Tear Potion was an Active Skill, Ren He was itching to test its power on someone. It was his second Active Skill, after all, usually ignoring the Glutton Skill he had obtained previously.

Who should he try it on? He wondered if Lin Hao was still in Luo City.

Nevermind, he thought. There would be a time to use it.

And with that, he went to sleep... to sleep...

When Yuan Peng woke up early in the morning from the bushes, the feeling was both sour and refreshing. If there had been a table in front of him, he would have flipped it right there and then!

...

Ren He got up early, feeling refreshed, and went downstairs to drive after getting ready. He took a detour to pick up Xu Nuo first, then went to pick up Yang Xi.

As soon as Yang Xi got in the car, she noticed Xu Nuo sitting in the back row. She raised an eyebrow and mimicking a melodramatic TV drama, said, "So you pick up your mistress before coming for me?"

She started laughing before finishing her sentence, looking at the puzzled Xu Nuo and saying, "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore."

If we’re talking about mental age, both Yang Xi and Ren He were much more mature than Xu Nuo. Ren He had that maturity from traveling back in time; otherwise, he wouldn’t be much better than Xu Nuo. As for Yang Xi, girls naturally mature faster than boys, and sometimes when a boy is pursuing a girl, if she likes him, it’s all good, but if not, her attitude can make him feel quite foolish...

Yang Xi was even more mature than most girls because she had seen a broader world. She wasn’t raised like most girls in her country, protected and enveloped in a life filled with only studies and pure things.

Therefore, it was quite natural for her mental age to be more mature. Of course, she couldn’t really compare to Ren He, who had the guile of a reborn uncle. Sometimes, Ren He himself pondered why he had fallen for a 16-year-old girl after his rebirth. He thought hard and finally concluded that he must be a lolicon...

Of course, that was a joke he made to himself. What really attracted him to Yang Xi was the charm hidden in her independent nature. How many girls could truly be independent? Very few.

But being too independent isn’t always good. Ren He found it amusing when Yang Xi showed occasional jealousy over Little Fatty, Xu Nuo.

Poor Xu Nuo, he stammered, "So... should I get off and then get back in again?"

"Haha, no need for such antics, let’s go!" Ren He shouted, his mood always brightening when they went out to have fun! It meant he would escape from the city’s circle for a place where no one would recognize them, free and unburdened, without living in the scrutiny of others.

Yang Xi pulled several large bags from her backpack, filled with fruits, yogurt, and a few big steamed buns. Ren He hadn’t even started the car yet, but the aroma of the meat buns had already filled the air.

"My dad just steamed these. He said we’re leaving so early, you definitely haven’t had breakfast yet," Yang Xi explained. "My dad’s steaming skills are unbeatable in the Capital. Give them a try."

Xu Nuo, listening to this in the back seat, had his mouth wide open in shock, "You told your dad the truth about going out to have fun together? Your dad knows Ren He? And he even prepared breakfast for him?"

This world is crazy! Xu Nuo felt his worldview being overturned. Not to mention socializing with a female classmate, if he dared let his dad know he wasn’t attending extra classes but going out to have fun instead, he’d probably be beaten so badly that he wouldn’t even need to take the middle school exams!

Ren He rolled his eyes, "Eat your bun. Her dad doesn’t know we’re together."

"That your dad allows his daughter to go out to have fun before the middle school exams is pretty amazing too!" Xu Nuo said, nearly moved to tears, "Yang Xi, does your dad need a son? I feel like I’m not my own dad’s biological child..."

The traditional Chinese concept that ’filial piety comes from the stick’ is really a pitfall...

...

As Xu Nuo and the others set off, Duan Xiaolou and Huangfu Zhuri were waiting at the exit of Luo City’s North Suburb Airport. Huangfu Zhuri asked nervously, "How’s my hairstyle?"

Duan Xiaolou said with an expressionless face, "Seriously, cousin, this is the fifth time you’ve asked me. Your hair looks great, very neat and stylish."

"Really?" Huangfu Zhuri said, beaming with joy.

"I can understand why Yuting said she likes guys with shorter, neater hairstyles and then you cut your hair so short, but I really can’t understand why you just don’t tell her directly that you like her," Duan Xiaolou asked calmly, leaning on the railing.

"Yuting just isn’t into me, but that’s okay. People are always growing, right? I hope she’ll slowly discover the changes in me on her own. That would be perfect!" Huangfu Zhuri hurriedly explained, "I’m not afraid to confess, don’t get the wrong idea."

Duan Xiaolou couldn’t be bothered with his stubborn denial. He was clearly infatuated, and when Xia Yuting came back for the New Year’s, he flew back from Australia just to be in Luo City on the same day as her. He always had to call out Xia Yuting’s name whenever he went for a meal, as though he couldn’t eat without doing so!

Now, Xia Yuting’s grandfather was celebrating his 70th birthday at Mount Laojun’s sanatorium, and she returned to Luo City for two days for the occasion—Huangfu Zhuri also came back just for the chance to be part of the excitement!

Huangfu Zhuri himself found it a bit embarrassing and quickly changed the subject, "How are things going with that guy from your class, Ren He?"

Duan Xiaolou was taken aback, "What do you mean, how’s it going?"

"Don’t be shy, come on, spill it. I think he’s pretty good—character, eloquence, vigor, all seem very impressive. Honestly, I didn’t think much of him at first, but after interacting with him, I realized that this kid is definitely a standout among middle school students, very thoughtful, and bound to do big things in the future. Haven’t you considered it?" Huangfu Zhuri teased with a wink and a nudge.

Duan Xiaolou was so taken aback by his words that she didn’t know how to respond for a long time.

Just then, the clear sound of high heels clicking on the ground came from the exit, and Huangfu Zhuri instantly perked up—the sound of those heels scratching at his heart!

After more than a decade of being together, he could tell whose footsteps those were from a distance.

"Hopeless," said Duan Xiaolou flatly.

This Chapter is dedicated to the pitiful, lost soul of the Guild Leader. May you find yourself.

Living in the moment is what’s most important. Once you leave a beautiful scene, you can’t return to it. Rather than dwelling on who you once were, it’s better to stride forward boldly from beneath the clouds.

Those deep memories are just old photographs.

I mean, compared to many, my updates are seriously geili. Where’s the support with monthly tickets?
