Chapter 96: 95, Flammable and Explosive_1

It had been quite some time since Ren He last wrote "Eating Fried Chicken at the People’s Square" for Yang Xi, and he thought it might be time to start writing the seventh song.

Yang Xi’s album "You Who Plucks Stars" was still missing four songs. The first six were Go to Dali, Wonderful Ability Song, The Brightest Star in the Night Sky, Prague Square, South of South Mountain, and Eating Fried Chicken at the People’s Square.

Among these six songs, there were folk, pop rock, and pop music. Was there room for more elements?

Ren He didn’t think it was necessary; as long as it sounded good, that was enough. Those famous musicians paid special attention to the elements in their albums, but did listeners understand all that? A good sound was all that mattered!

Yes, for most listeners, a pleasing sound was the most important thing. Without a great song to anchor the album, they wouldn’t even think twice about it.

For the seventh track, Ren He decided to choose Chen Li’s "Easy to Ignite and Explode".

He had previously worried that Yang Xi wouldn’t be able to interpret the song well, but during their last trip to Capital Back Sea, her perfect rendition of Go to Dali had given him a huge surprise. It seemed he had always been too considerate on her behalf and had overlooked one thing: the potential of people.

Some people have a natural talent in certain areas that’s undeniable, so Ren He decided to simply bring out this song for Yang Xi to see what the results would be like.

"Easy to Ignite and Explode" starts with a low voice and then begins to burn, spreading and spreading... With its unique raspy voice style, it gives a feeling of almost burning and tearing yet continues without end.

The lyrics, full of explosive conflict, don’t blame anyone from start to finish but express a constant mood: What the hell do you want from me?!

And it was these classic lyrics that completely made the song, perfect.

Normally, this song is best suited for someone with a story to tell, but Ren He also wanted to see what other potential Yang Xi had yet to unearth.

As soon as he finished writing the score for "Easy to Ignite and Explode", the Divine Punishment System assigned him a task: "Task: Free solo climb the Kailai Great Hotel within one week. Failure to complete will result in the host losing the ability to balance for one month."

Hey, wasn’t the Kailai Great Hotel the tall building next to Yang Xi’s home, with a total height of 89 meters? The task given this time was still a free solo climb, but at a higher difficulty!

Moreover, using his superior memory, Ren He recalled that the exterior of the Kailai Great Hotel was made of glass, and it didn’t have obvious footholds like the residential buildings did.

He took a deep breath. Was this where the real mission began? Falling off the wall by accident would certainly be fatal.

No, wait, there was a way! Ren He suddenly remembered that each hotel room had an external unit for its split air conditioning system; that might be his breakthrough point for completing the task.

Luckily, this old-fashioned hotel didn’t have central air conditioning, otherwise he really would have had to use the three-point anchoring method to climb the protruding parts of the building corner. It would be like that time he climbed alone between two poles, 1 meter apart, using the opposing force to edge up bit by bit.

Imagine what climbing up 89 meters like that would feel like? The physical strength required would be immense—it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for Ren He to accomplish even with his current fitness level, and a single moment of weakness could be catastrophic.

Even climbing with the aid of the external AC units to the twenty-eighth floor was quite dangerous.

Ren He laughed. But it seemed like risky adventures like this were the real thrill. Now that he had mastered the skills of free solo climbing, it was indeed time to try something more challenging.

Today was the day Yang En was coming home, but since Yang Xi had classes, he couldn’t pick him up, so Yang En should already be home by the time their classes ended. Nevertheless, Ren He boldly followed Yang Xi home, after all, this prospective father-in-law was quite amiable, at least compared to Su Ruqin...

This time, Ren He folded the sheet of paper just like a love letter. Yang Xi, sitting on the rooftop with a smile bright as flowers, rolled her eyes at him and snatched the paper with the musical score and lyrics, "Alright, enough, you’re getting addicted."

For some reason, when Yang Xi saw the song "Easy to Ignite and Explode," the moment she mentally matched the lyrics with the melody, she fell in love with it instantly!

Especially the lyrics, they were just so brilliant!

"This song might not necessarily suit you, but give it a try anyway. If you don’t like it, we can sell it to someone else. I’ll write a new one for you," said Ren He.

"Don’t sell! I love it!" Yang Xi quickly tucked the score into her pocket, "You gifted it, now you want to take it back? No way!"

"Haha, as long as you like it," Ren He said cheerfully.

The so-called love affair of youth is nothing but being happy because the other person is happy, right?

In the evening, Yang Xi brought Ren He downstairs to her home for dinner. As soon as they entered, Yang En laughed from the kitchen, "You’re something, kiddo. Managing to come out unscathed from Yang Xi’s mom, the ruckus you two caused in the Capital isn’t small at all."

Ren He quickly responded with false modesty, "You flatter me..."

But then Yang En said, "I’m not opposed to you two being friends, but everything should be in moderation. I think you’re both not ordinary kids, so I needn’t say more. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future; too early or too late is not good."

Great, even the future father-in-law has started to give him warnings. Ren He sat there obediently, waiting for dinner. He could understand the other side’s point of view. After all, how many parents wouldn’t care about a middle school student dating?

How could they not care?

It’s not that they look down on you because your family has no money or that you’re ugly or incapable; they simply think the timing isn’t right. Parents like these are quite rare.

So what could Ren He say? He could only submit...

Of course, Yang En was still quite approachable. At dinner, he told Ren He and Yang Xi a lot of interesting stories about his trip abroad, deliberately avoiding any talk about his actual mission.

After leaving Yang Xi’s house that evening, Ren He headed straight for the Kailai Great Hotel to start his mission. Before beginning, he observed the terrain seriously. The wall where the air conditioner was mounted was actually quite easy to climb. After a quick warm-up, he was ready to start.

However, just then, Ren He suddenly spotted a familiar car... The young man asking for directions...

What a coincidence. Ren He suddenly felt this guy kept popping up in his life these past few days. Was it a coincidence or was there an underlying reason?

The thought that this guy might be stalking Yang Xi instantly irritated him, and he watched as Lin Hao’s car tires were punctured one after another with the pointed end of a cross-head key...

Doing something like this might seem childish, but Ren He figured, I’m just a kid right now, so why not do what kids do at this age?!
