Chapter 490: 484, Shameless! (Third Update)_1

The time had only just reached May, and it was still a full four months before Ren He and Yang Xi would return to school.

Jiang Haoyang called Ren He to say that the Qinghe Club planned to lead another teaching volunteer trip to the mountain villages this summer, and this time it would be for 30 days, not just a short 15 days. He asked Ren He if he was going.

Ren He thought about it and decided not to go. To be honest, nowadays, the Qinghe Club’s volunteer teaching in the mountain villages was more about tempering the will of its new members, and Ren He’s will no longer needed such tempering.

Even if he stayed in the village for a year, it probably wouldn’t be as intense as the seven days he had spent in the sewer.

Back then, as he walked alone in the dark sewer, he could only hear the sound of rats at most, and he had to endure an endless stench.

Sometimes, as he wandered through the darkness, he would feel like he was the only person left in the world, and that the sewer in front of him would never end.

Yang Xi always wanted to hear about how Ren He managed to live in the sewer back then, but Ren He never wanted to talk about it.

Because it was a deeply terrifying experience.

Would Ren He ever feel fear? Yes, whether it was the second time he went downhill skiing at high speed or the first time he climbed to the summit of Mount Everest, Ren He felt a deep fear.

However, the fear he experienced in the sewer was different; it was an endless loneliness.

Thus, he preferred to climb out of the sewer in the deep quiet of night, sit on the edge of a well, nibble on some long-stored bread, and then look at the bustling world he had been away from for a whole day.

At that time, the neon lights in the sky and the darkness of the sewer seemed like two different worlds, and Ren He yearned more than anything to return to the human world above ground.

People say that a person confined in a closed space for too long might go mad, but Ren He hadn’t gone mad; he simply had a heart that desperately longed to see the light again.

He didn’t tell Yang Xi because, for one, Yang Xi already felt guilty enough. As a boyfriend, there was no need to add to her emotional burden. Secondly, he didn’t want to relive those scenes himself.

No one knew what he had specifically endured; it was enough that he returned safe and sound. Indeed, it was because of those experiences that Yang Xi felt he was still carrying some sort of burden in his heart after his return, until he finally felt relieved upon seeing No.4 Middle School.

Of course, that was also why Ren He wanted to make the U.S. government pay a price; he would remember this grudge until he made the U.S. government pay dearly.

These last few days, Ren He had been frantically writing the second and third parts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Cang Hai and Ling Fei Script.

This was his joking agreement with Director Zhang, to exchange these two works for a chance to get into the Central Academy of Drama.

This was probably the first time Yang Xi saw Ren He writing novels. Ren He seemed to type effortlessly on his laptop, producing over 400 or even 500 words a minute, leading her to seriously wonder how his brain was wired...

"Is this the speed you write other novels at too?" Yang Xi asked, sitting beside him.

"At first it’s slower; then it gets faster," Ren He said frankly. Initially, he didn’t have shorthand skills, so it was a bit slow. Once he acquired that skill, of course, he could write much faster...

However, Yang Xi didn’t understand what he meant, so she still found it rather unbelievable...

These days, Ren He’s activities weren’t limited to just writing novels. Whenever he had the chance, he wanted to be near Yang Xi. After all, the empress dowager at home had said, "Have a grandson and you can do extreme sports all you want."

That was the best excuse there was!

However, Yang Xi was not at all swayed by him. Back when they were in New York, lost in passion, she almost gave herself to Ren He, but now, she was suddenly playing coy.

She was genuinely embarrassed, and the more Ren He played the rogue and took the initiative, the more embarrassed she became...

The key point was, she never even considered having a child at 17 years old! That was way too early!

She really didn’t mind cohabitating at 17, having already set her heart on Ren He. She hadn’t even thought about having another love if Ren He were to abandon her after frenzy. Ren He had done so much for her, their relationship was so good; if her body was given, so be it.

But to have a child at 17 was a terrifying thought, okay? By the time their wedding was held, the child would be old enough to attend primary school. People who didn’t know any better might think one of them had been divorced and had a child already.

This... this didn’t comply with the national policy either, Yang Xi thought with a flushed face.

Catching her in his earnest rhetoric, Ren He said, "Look, we’ve drunk the deer blood already, and Uncle Fang and Mrs. Wang are more worried about us than we are about ourselves every day. We can’t let everyone continue to worry about us! Our country’s aging population is becoming more serious. In another twenty-plus years, we’ll face a situation with no one to do the work. At this time, shouldn’t we devote ourselves to the motherland’s construction efforts early and plan for the country’s future? If we have our child early, they can join in the socialist construction early as well, right?"

Uncle Fang, who was listening on the side, was dumbfounded. His young master must be the first person ever to articulate the matter in such an ideological manner. If he had had the gift of the gab like this back in the day, would he have had to wait until he was 27 to find a wife?!

In Uncle Fang’s circles, finding a wife at 27 was quite an embarrassing matter!

Yang Xi spat at Ren He and went back to her room to practice piano; shameless!

This piano was a gift from Ren He yesterday; it signified that from now on, she was going to live here permanently and could practice at home.

The two of them thus mysteriously began their cohabitation under their parents’ watchful eyes. Although their parents hadn’t met yet, both sides tacitly acknowledged the situation, and Ren He himself felt his reborn life was unfolding in a fantastical direction. After all, in reality, they were still supposed to be high school juniors!

The number of toothbrushes and cups in the bathroom increased from one to a pair, the towels from one to a pair. At mealtime, the two sat opposite each other at the stone table in the courtyard, with Uncle Fang and Mrs. Wang adamantly refusing to dine at the same table as Ren He.

When Ren He had invited Uncle Fang to join them for a meal, Uncle Fang had initially agreed, only to be dragged away by Mrs. Wang, who scolded Uncle Fang in a whisper for his lack of perception.

While eating, Ren He whispered a story to Yang Xi, "Once upon a time, there was a little white sheep that got lost in the forest and encountered a little black sheep. She asked the black sheep the way home, to which the black sheep said, ’Let me hehehe and I’ll tell you.’"

Yang Xi ate with her head down, not daring to look up and meet Ren He’s wolfish gaze...

Ren He continued, "It turned out that the road the little black sheep directed was wrong. She walked and walked and then met a little mountain goat and asked for directions again. But the little mountain goat said, ’Let me...’"

Suddenly Ren He shifted the story, "Finally, the little white sheep made it back home, and at that time, she realized she was pregnant. Guess what kind of sheep she was carrying?"

The question caught Yang Xi off guard, "What kind of sheep?"

"Let me hehehe, and I’ll tell you..." Ren He said mysteriously.

Whoosh! Yang Xi almost flipped the table right then! Shameless!
