Chapter 573: 567. Sir Knight (Third Update)_1

The hardest thing in life is to have someone who understands you by your side.

After hanging up the phone, Ren He felt very sentimental. In the past, Yang Xi had always focused solely on Dota. There had been times when Ren He regretted getting her into playing Dota, but now he realized her care for him had never diminished.

He knew clearly that Yang Xi had sensed something, but she didn’t ask too much. Instead, she was there when he needed her the most, and that was enough to move Ren He.

Thinking of Yang Xi coming to pick him up from the airport tomorrow, Ren He felt utterly delighted. He too had a wife!

The next morning, everyone had an early buffet breakfast at the hotel. Many people asked Ren He why he hadn’t gone to receive the award last night, and he simply replied he had something to handle, without going into detail.

He really couldn’t be bothered to come up with any excuses, nor did he see the need to.

Everyone got up at five in the morning. Actually, it only took a little over forty minutes to go from the city center to the airport. Chen Da was reminding everyone that when you travel abroad, you should bring back some gifts for family and friends at home.

The rehearsals and such had been time-consuming, and no one had found time to go shopping, so the duty-free shops at the airport were the next best option.

Anyway, there were quite a few rich kids among these students, who probably had a sizeable demand for luxury goods.

As everyone was eating breakfast, they were surprised to see Xia Yuting entering the dining area. Someone exclaimed, "Yuting, you’re having breakfast too? Getting up this early isn’t your style at all."

Xia Yuting, clearly wearing light makeup, cheerfully said, "I knew you were going back home today, so I came to see you off."

The rest of the classmates were astonished; such camaraderie in a foreign land warmed everyone’s hearts. Xia Yuting was now considered a top actress in China, and if she won Best Actress in Amsterdam this year, her future back home would be even more promising.

Everyone was aware that social circles change, and if someone took the lead in climbing to a higher level, it was inevitable that relationships would become more distant.

But Xia Yuting didn’t give off an air of distance—she had even gotten up early to say goodbye to everyone!

Xia Yuting needed to stay for another week until the award ceremony was over, so she wasn’t leaving.

The classmates enjoyed breakfast amidst laughter and light-hearted conversations, but Chen Da, with his keen sense of subtlety, suddenly wondered if Xia Yuting had come specially to see them off, or if it was actually to say goodbye to Ren He?

He remembered the dinner invitation from before, and the more he thought about it in his room at night, the more it didn’t sit right with him...

However, Chen Da had to admit that for someone of Ren He’s status and caliber, with his looks, eloquence, quality, and temperament all being commendable, it was natural for him to have many female admirers.

It wouldn’t be right to say they were merely commendable; every aspect about him was truly excellent.

What Chen Da didn’t know was that Ren He never intended to have any female admirers. If he were to consider having one, it would be Yang Xi.

Right now, Ren He was still basking in the little happiness of being cared for by Yang Xi...

Being together with someone is extremely precious, and Ren He felt fortunate that in this life, he had such a partner. He couldn’t imagine how his former self could have ever managed to have a lover like Yang Xi.

But when you think about it, it’s quite normal for you not to have found the ideal other half in your previous life, especially since you weren’t your ideal self, were you?

The more he thought about it, the happier Ren He felt in his heart. He couldn’t resist his whimsical impulse to send Yang Xi a text message: "Of all the tenderness in the world, you occupy eight points. The night you said you liked me, the cool wind and the autumn moon make up one point, and all the rest share the final point."

This sentence was seen by Ren He in his past life, and he changed it a little before sending it to Yang Xi. The immediate reply he got was, "That night, it was summer."

Pfft, Ren He was not okay at that moment. Why so serious? Can we no longer flirt and whisper sweet nothings properly?

"Task: Skydive from an altitude below 3800 meters with a freefall duration of over 50 seconds, to be completed within two months. Failure to complete will result in the host being bald for one year."

Damn it, my attempt to flirt with the missus wasn’t successful, and now I’ve been saddled with a task!

But what’s the deal with this task? I’m not a skydiving novice anymore, everyone is pretty clear about how long a freefall from an altitude of 3800 meters takes, okay. You’re asking for over 50 seconds, you want me dead?!

At this moment, Ren He realized that the Divine Punishment System’s task was a bit of a trap, but given the System’s nature, the other party definitely didn’t intend to send him to his death straight away—there had to be some trick he didn’t know yet.

But still... it’s a trap, okay!

As Ren He wallowed in the frustration of his failed flirtation, far away in China Yang Xi suddenly updated her Weibo, "Sir Knight just told me that out of all the tenderness in the world, I own eight parts. The night I said I liked him, the cool breeze and autumn moon took up one part, and all else shared the remaining one."

Just this one Weibo post suddenly went viral. People really love to see the interactions between Knight and Yang Xi, as if the two of them represented all that is beautiful about love in this world.

If they ever broke up, there would probably be a lot of people who would lose faith in love.

"So, it was Yang Xi who confessed to Knight at the beginning?"

"From a literal understanding, it seems so..."

"Who cares, as long as we know their feelings for each other are strong. And that sentence, it’s classic, isn’t it? Is Knight a literary youth too?"

They still didn’t know, their so-called Knight had undertaken a life-threatening task just because of such a sentence...

Skydiving was a sport Ren He liked, so when he sent Yang Xi the quote, he had already considered that he might trigger a task. No worries, he could still handle it...

"Got anything else to say?" Although Yang Xi rebutted Ren He, deep down, after seeing Ren He’s sweet talk, she still felt a little dissatisfied...

"No more," Ren He replied with a dark face. Is there such a big difference between summer and autumn?

At this moment, his classmates were in the airport duty-free shop, buying goods they wanted to bring back to China: some bought local specialties, some outright splurged on things like watches, while others bought cigarettes, perfumes, or cigars.

Several classmates spent tens of thousands of yuan in just a short few minutes, which was unexpected as they did not usually stand out much.

Only Ren He sat beside them, grinning as he texted Yang Xi, prompting someone curious to ask, "Aren’t you going to buy something? Didn’t bring enough money? I can lend you some, the stuff here is really cheap."

Ren He didn’t pay attention to what he was saying, too preoccupied chatting with Yang Xi by text. It seemed like his senior was talking about lending him some money...

"Don’t worry about me, you go ahead and shop," Ren He had seen everything in the duty-free shop already. To be honest, offering these things to Yang Xi now felt a bit embarrassing...
