Chapter 154: 153. Save the surprise for the last moment (Fourth update)_1

Ren He brought Yang Xi to Liu Erbao’s place just to take her for a quick spin around, purely because he thought this group of people was quite interesting and he wanted her to get acquainted with them.

However, while chatting with them, Ren He really couldn’t stand the other party’s penchant for yelling in his ear, so he beat a hasty retreat...

He repeatedly stressed that his ears were very good and there was no need to shout, but the other party always seemed to raise their voice involuntarily...

Ren He felt if he stayed any longer, his own ears might stop working too!

When leaving, Liu Erbao escorted Ren He to the factory entrance, shouting, "Your little sister-in-law is very pretty, and she also has a great presence. If there’s a chance, she could model for us in commercial advertisements!"

As Ren He walked away from the loud-voiced Liu Erbao, he mulled over what Liu Erbao had said, a spark of an idea flickering in his mind!

He had long heard that Liu Erbao and the others looked down on shooting music videos for celebrities, big shots couldn’t even hire them, so what if he invited them to shoot a music video for Yang Xi? Would they agree?

But it was too early to talk about that now. Maybe when the chance arose, he would bring it up. Right now, mentioning it to this bunch would probably fall on deaf ears...

After taking Yang Xi back for a rest, Ren He made sure to tell her seriously that if Su Ruqin found out he had kidnapped her daughter again, Yang Xi must inform him immediately.

As it turned out, Su Ruqin wasn’t so idle as to check the internet every day, so the night passed without incident.

Only Yang En knew about it; he kept an eye on the news, now without any proper work to do. So when he saw the video online, he realized why Yang Xi didn’t look sad on the way to Capital but rather a bit delighted...

So the kid had followed her to Capital! The two must have planned this all along!

Yang En scratched his head in irritation, his short hair making a rustling sound. This kid was getting alarmingly hard to keep in check!

Isn’t there a parent who can control him?!

Yang En had initially planned to ground Yang Xi. "You’re saying you’ll continue tomorrow? I’ll keep Yang Xi at home and see how you manage to continue then..."

But after some thought, he ended up chuckling alone in his room. It seemed quite nice for someone to be so unreservedly fond of his daughter.

Of course, he still insisted that the two could not date. Yang En was always open-minded, but that didn’t mean he would agree to his daughter dating in junior high, even if she had already graduated.

But every time he thought about separating Yang Xi from Ren He, he couldn’t quite bring himself to do it.

So for the time being, he consoled himself with the thought that as long as they didn’t date, it was fine if their relationship was a bit close.

Ren He had looked extremely sincere every time he promised not to date early, so much so that Yang En, a former foreign affairs envoy, couldn’t spot any lies, and he believed him.

And indeed, he hadn’t noticed any crossing of lines between Ren He and Yang Xi. Considering the vigorous hormonal secretion of youth, saying he was desperate wouldn’t be too much, and if an opportunity presented itself, wouldn’t Ren He do something?

But Ren He didn’t. He had always maintained a certain line with Yang Xi that he wouldn’t cross.

Yang En was comforted by this. That was probably why he could still tolerate Ren He kidnapping his precious daughter.

If only he knew the two had been dating for half a year, and that Ren He’s reluctance to touch Yang Xi was simply about grooming a loli... Ren He would probably have made Yang En explode...

...

The next evening, Ren He smoothly picked up Yang Xi again, quite puzzled that his father-in-law hadn’t shown any reaction at all.

The two of them, dressed in plain T-shirts and without duckbill caps, brazenly walked into Xie Zexi’s alley bar at 4 p.m. What surprised them was that this bar, which usually filled up only in the evening, was already teeming with people at 4 o’clock!

When they entered the bar, many people quickly turned their heads to see who had come in, to check if it was the person they were waiting for. Turned out it was a disappointment, not the one they were looking for.

Although the height and such were quite matching, how could the other party possibly not wear a baseball cap when arriving?

This is inertial thinking, none of them know what Ren He and Yang Xi look like, they could only search for the other based on the characteristic of a baseball cap.

What they didn’t expect was that Ren He and Yang Xi would just swagger in like that!

Ren He, holding Yang Xi’s hand, could still feel the other’s nervousness, the palm slightly sweaty.

He stood with Yang Xi at the bar and winked at Xie Zexi, as she had already seen their true faces last time, so when she saw Ren He and Yang Xi walk in again with the same old trick, she almost exclaimed in surprise.

Too thrilling, too bold!

However, when Ren He winked at her, Xie Zexi found the scene extremely amusing, the three of them deceiving everyone else present. This gave Xie Zexi a sense of comradeship on the same front; the other side must trust her since they showed up in front of her without disguise. Xie Zexi felt warm inside.

She poured two glasses of plain water for Ren He and Yang Xi and asked softly, "What song are you planning to sing tonight?"

"Surprises are most interesting when kept until the last moment," Ren He did not answer her, and indirectly declined the hope of revealing the answer.

At that moment, Xie Zexi suddenly felt that Ren He didn’t seem like a middle school student at all, as if there was a mature soul hidden inside him. Xie Zexi looked at Yang Xi enviously, smiling as she went inside to get busy, knowing she had better not chat too much with Ren He and Yang Xi or it might arouse suspicion from others.

Just like that, Ren He and Yang Xi sat chatting in front of the bar all afternoon until 9 p.m., and no one noticed them, let alone suspected that they were the main characters of the night!

By 9 p.m., the alley bar was bustling with people chatting away, full of liveliness!

The two of them bowed their heads and walked towards the stage, Ren He leading the way for Yang Xi who nestled behind him, enjoying the protection he offered like a Knight, and she didn’t need to know where this Knight was taking her—it was all right just to follow along!

The stage had been isolated already, and when someone suddenly breached the isolation tape, it caught everyone’s attention. But at that moment, Yang Xi and Ren He were walking towards the stage with their backs to the crowd, so no one knew who the pair were.

Someone suddenly wondered, "What are those two up to? The stage is off-limits, no entry allowed!"

"Who cares what they’re doing, they probably just want to go up and take a look. Speaking of which, where are those two who haven’t shown up yet?"

However, just at this moment, as everyone watched in disbelief, Ren He and Yang Xi, with their backs to them, slowly pulled baseball caps from their pockets and placed them on their heads while walking towards the stage.

Everyone held their breath!

"Holy shit!"

"Damn it! I remember those two, they’ve been sitting at the bar all afternoon, and I didn’t even bother to look at their faces!"

"Damn!"

At this point, many people had some impression of Ren He and Yang Xi, but none had paid attention to them, patiently waiting for the appearance of those two baseball caps!

Who would have thought these two would be so daring, to just stay in the bar for so long without any disguise!

Unexpected indeed!

Now, Ren He and Yang Xi turned around to sit in the darkness of the stage. As Ren He picked up the guitar at his feet, the corners of his mouth betraying an uncontrollable smile, he spoke, "Today’s performance, starts now!"
