Chapter 250: 248. Ren He actually has a girlfriend?! (Third update)_1

Who is most closely associated with Liu Erbao in public opinion right now? It’s the Knight.

Xia Yuting pondered in the yard, why would Ren He know Liu Erbao? Liu Erbao is notoriously difficult to deal with in the industry, and becoming friends with him is not an easy task.

At that moment, Ren He’s phone in his pocket rang. He answered, "Wait for me to go out and pick you up!" Then he turned to Liu Erbao and said, "An Si is here too. I’ll go to get him, you guys eat and chat first. These persimmons, dates, and walnuts are all from our own yard, eat as much as you want."

An Si? Xia Yuting suddenly froze. She had met An Si once at a banquet. If Liu Erbao’s presence here wasn’t distinctive enough, then adding An Si to the mix...

Who is An Si? The president of TK’s Greater China region, the planner behind the Knight trilogy, including "The Name of the Knight," "Doomsday Knight," and "Everything Is Possible."

So, Ren He...

Xia Yuting’s heart skipped a beat, the gaze from "The Name of the Knight" deeply etched in her heart. When she learned that the Knight had whizzed past their car on Mount Laojun, she even thought of getting out of the car to call out and meet him.

Actually, she was as bold and passionate as Liu Yingying from "Kunlun," and the gaze she thought she had forgotten surfaced suddenly; it turned out she had never forgotten.

She seemed to understand another identity of Ren He, and the simultaneous arrival of Liu Erbao and An Si was the best verification.

No wonder the video for "Everything Is Possible" was filmed in the Capital; many people had guessed that the Knight wasn’t from Luo City, so why was the filming location moved to the Capital? Xia Yuting also wondered if she would have the chance to run into them at that time. It turns out it was because Ren He came to study at Capital Fourth Middle School!

At this time, Ren He entered with An Si from outside. An Si laughed and said, "Holy shit, you’re really living it up, eh? Even if you spent your entire endorsement fee, you couldn’t buy this mansion. I know the boss of this real estate, Cui Qiang, that fat guy. He was bragging about his Courtyard Houses recently, especially since the prices shot up."

"It seems quite small, the Capital. I didn’t expect you to know Cui Qiang too," Ren He was surprised for a moment and then laughed: "My second brother’s factory is just too far. From now on, this will be our base for gatherings. The Uncle Fang and Aunt Wang who came to help with the yard and cooking are unrivaled. After getting used to all the delicacies out there, you can come here for a change of pace in life."

As the two of them talked, they walked to the front of the house. At this moment, Xia Yuting watched Ren He’s eyes brimming with a smile, and she was certain— the Knight was right beside her.

When she finally knew the truth, Xia Yuting’s heart calmed down. She had imagined that if she had called out to him on Mount Laojun, would it have started a romance like in the stories?

But when the truth was revealed, she found herself unable to speak. Sometimes, it’s like that: the closer you are, the more timid you become.

However, Xia Yuting wasn’t one to be coy. No one could tell anything from her expression.

When Liu Erbao and An Si were sitting there, they looked at each other. An Si laughed, "I didn’t expect Ren He and Xia Yuting to know each other. She’s the hotshot actress nowadays."

He had once met Xia Yuting, so he recognized her. Xia Yuting smiled and said, "We’ve both been from Luo City for a long time; we’re old townsfolk. When you come to the Capital, you have to help each other out, right?"

So that’s how it was. An Si had an epiphany, "I have to congratulate you, ’Kunlun’ is really good, and you played the best part in it."

At this point, Ren He let them chat and went out again to meet Liu Bing and others from the Qinghe Club. Now the gang was all here. However, when Liu Bing, Jiang Haoyang, and Li Yifan laid eyes on Xia Yuting, they weren’t as composed as An Si. What do students do when they get home from school? They watch the news or prime-time TV dramas with their parents and, moreover, they were devout fans of "Kunlun." Having followed it from the novel to the TV series and swearing to come back as formidable RMB warriors after being brutally defeated in the game, they were resolved to earn the Qinghe Club’s scholarship...

Seeing the living female protagonist, what kind of feeling is that! They even forgot to marvel that Ren He could buy such a Courtyard House!

"Can you sign an autograph?" Liu Bing, Jiang Haoyang, and Li Yifan asked in unison, while Liu Jiamin stood by the side, trying not to laugh, and Ren He was caught between laughter and tears.

Xia Yuting smiled frankly, "Sure, thank you for liking the character I play. Are all of you Ren He’s classmates?"

"Yes, we’re his classmates, or more precisely, clubmates. We are all members of the Qinghe Club he founded," Jiang Haoyang said with a face full of adoration, eager to answer first.

"Cough cough, okay that’s enough. Let’s star-chase after the meal; she’s not going anywhere," Ren He said with a dark face. At this time, the food was ready and arranged on tables in the Courtyard House. The sight of a dozen or so people sitting together at several tables put together was pretty impressive. Thankfully, the old couple had prepared early; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been enough food for everyone.

Since everyone at the table was Ren He’s friend, the conversation was pretty open. As they chatted, suddenly, An Si exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute, did you say that the murder game was put together by Ren He with all the members of your club?"

Li Yifan boasted, "Yes, we organized it. Have you played it? We can play a murder game later with so many people here."

However, An Si and Liu Erbao couldn’t remain as calm. They knew Ren He was amazing, but to make Yang Xi a star with a song and casually develop a game that became a worldwide hit, that was beyond just being amazing, right?!

As they continued to talk, everyone became even more astonished; Ren He had given all the earnings from the murder game to the club and even set up the first scholarship fund provided by students at No.4 Middle School. Within the club, the benefits were very rich.

This... This is really treating money like dirt, isn’t it? That’s an income of tens of millions of RMB a year!

An Si, Liu Erbao, and Xia Yuting had all played the murder game, and now sometimes they would play it in the crew when they were bored. Liu Erbao’s group had enough people for a round of the murder game by themselves.

Before, they had only heard that this was something put together by a group of students from No.4 Middle School, but because the media couldn’t enter No.4 Middle School to interview, the reports were all vague, so they had no idea that this was something Ren He had created.

Ren He really knew how to keep a low profile, having created such a big thing and yet not bragging about it to his friends.

It seemed that the aura around the boy at the table became even brighter, as if he was invincible.

Liu Erbao suddenly said, "Why didn’t your little sister come today?"

Little sister?! Liu Bing, Li Yifan, Jiang Haoyang, and others were startled, as was Xia Yuting — they had no idea Ren He had a girlfriend!

"Cough cough," Ren He really didn’t want Liu Bing and the others to know that he was already together with Yang Xi, as being around each other day in and day out at school could lead to a slip of the tongue. So, he hinted to Liu Erbao before saying, "She was busy with something."

For him, acknowledging Yang Xi’s existence was a completely frank matter. He just didn’t want a certain group of people to know her identity yet, but it was all a matter of time.

"Oh oh," Liu Bing hastily nodded.

But Liu Bing and the others only now learned that Ren He actually had a girlfriend, which explained why Ren He always refused when they suggested he pursue Yang Xi!

Yet, they had no idea that Ren He’s girlfriend was, in fact, Yang Xi...
