Chapter 488 "Yangcheng Whispers", [Su Yu's emotional fragments]
"Goodbye, uncle and aunt, you can go back now."
Tang Song opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.
Gao Mengting stood outside the car window and said gently, "Don't forget to send me a message when you get to the hotel."
"Okay, bye, see you tomorrow." Tang Song smiled, blinked, and made an "OK" gesture.
The sound of the engine starting broke the quiet night, and the Bentley Mulsanne slowly drove away.
Watching the red taillights disappear around the corner, Gao Mengting let out a long breath, lowered her head and kicked the fallen leaves under her feet, hiding the deep reluctance on her face.
"Our daughter has picked up a treasure!" Gao Jinshan retracted his gaze, smiling, "Tang Song is a young man who looks energetic, speaks and acts efficiently, and is so generous and sincere. There is nothing to fault with him!"
Then, Zhao Suyun's voice rang out in excitement and complaint: "Tingting, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing in advance? Your father and I were not prepared at all!"
Gao Mengting blushed a little and muttered softly: "This is not the beginning, everything is still unstable, and I don't want Tang Song to come to our house."
"What do you mean by just the beginning? You have to pay more attention to such a good boy!" Zhao Suyun patted the back of her daughter's hand, her tone full of urging.
"I know, Mom—" Gao Mengting responded helplessly.
Gao Jinshan hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Tingting, the car that Tang Song drives... is it a Bentley? It looks very expensive, is it worth several million?"
He didn't know much about cars, especially top-of-the-line luxury cars like this. He only knew the brand, but had no idea how much it cost.
"Millions? So expensive?!" Zhao Suyun exclaimed, "Tingting, Tang Song's family..."
Gao Mengting interrupted quickly, "Okay, Dad, Mom, stop beating around the bush. I have my own way."
"alright."
The three of them walked upstairs while talking, their footsteps echoing in the narrow space.
Gao Jinshan was humming a cheerful old song, and his steps were particularly brisk, as if he was floating.
Open the door.
Gao Jinshan couldn't wait to squat in front of the two cardboard boxes, his eyes shining as if he was looking at treasure.
Zhao Suyun couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Look at you, you are so impatient. You can't sit still right after sending someone away. Don't be careless and break it."
"How could that be possible? This is a gift from my son-in-law, so I must treasure it!" Gao Jinshan rubbed his palms, picked up a knife to cut the tape, and opened the lids one by one.
Six bottles of golden Moutai and rows of bright red soft Zhonghua cigarettes are neatly arranged.
Gao Jinshan couldn't let go of it and caressed it, feeling relaxed all over.
After a while, he couldn't wait to pull out a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes, opened it, took out a cigarette, held it between his fingertips, lit the lighter and took a deep breath.
He squinted his eyes and exhaled a puff of smoke, saying with an intoxicated look on his face: "Oh, this tastes different!"
Gao Mengting, who had just come out of the bathroom, saw this scene and couldn't help but persuade him: "Dad, you should smoke less, it's not good for your health."
"Hey, you know your dad's physique, I'm as strong as a bull, what's there to be afraid of!" Gao Jinshan held a cigarette in his mouth and opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai, examining it carefully, "Wow, it's worthy of being Moutai, the bottle feels heavy in my hand, the packaging is so exquisite!"
At this moment, he felt that he had reached the peak of his life.
Seeing her father's look, Gao Mengting sighed helplessly, "I'm going to sleep first. When the team building is done, I'll take you and my mother to the hospital for a full-body check-up."
Her parents are getting older, and now that she is able, she naturally wants to make them healthier.
Back to the familiar little bedroom.
Gao Mengting came to the desk, turned on the desk lamp, and pulled out a thick light blue notebook from the bookshelf above.
He sat down on the chair, gently opened the book, and flipped through it with gentle eyes.
This is a high school diary. I don’t write in it every day, but only after I get home from school on weekends, I will record every little thing that happened recently.
It holds many beautiful memories for her.
Then she turned directly to the last page.
Above is the "Wish List" she once made.
------
Read at least 50 books per year;
Learn to play the violin;
Open a clothing store that truly belongs to you and have new clothes to wear every day;
Go to Iceland to see the Northern Lights;
Find your own Mr. Darcy.
------
Under the light, Gao Mengting showed a warm smile on her face.
She pulled out her favorite pen from the pen holder and put a check mark behind the last item.
As a half-idealist, in her opinion, love should be like those beautiful passages in literary works, which do not need too much embellishment but can touch people's hearts directly.
For her, the appearance of Tang Song was a small miracle given by fate.
Of course, she also knows that reality is not always so perfect.
For example, his former clothing store and cherished friendships were later shattered due to conflicts of interest.
Will something happen between her and Tang Song in the future? Can they still maintain this feeling?
There is no answer to this question, but she chooses to believe in the present, cherish this miracle, and embrace her partners wholeheartedly.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
"Ding Dong——" the WeChat notification sound rang.
[Tang Song: "I'm at the hotel now. Go to bed early. Good night. Have a sweet dream."]
Gao Mengting smiled, replied "good night", put the phone aside, lay back on the bed and pulled the quilt up.
The lights go out and sweet dreams come.
……
The hotel corridor was very quiet at night.
A clear sound of footsteps came from afar and finally stopped in front of a door.
Tang Song turned sideways and looked at the door in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
[In cultivation...88%...] (not yet germinated)
The labels added by the system are very practical. They can only be observed if you are close to them or within his field of vision.
At this moment, the label that was flickering was less than a meter away from him.
In other words, Qiuqiu was standing behind the door.
Tang Song looked at the cat's eye and instantly had some guesses in his mind.
Maybe Qiuqiu was still awake and heard the noise outside, so she ran to the door.
My partner told me that this cool designer is actually very timid. Is he afraid of being alone? Or having a nightmare?
Tang Song pursed his lips and knocked on the door with his fingers.
"Dong Dong Dong——" The sound is low and rhythmic.
No answer.
"Boom boom boom——"
Tang Song knocked again, but still no response.
But the label jumped a little.
[In cultivation...89%...] (not yet germinated)
Seeing this scene, Tang Song's eyes lit up slightly, and he simply stood at the door, waiting quietly.
Then, the label goes forward, backward, forward again, and backward again...
Floating back and forth like this, Tang Song seemed to be able to feel Qiu Qiu's nervousness and uneasiness behind the door.
[In cultivation...90%...] (not yet germinated)
But she still didn't open the door or answer.
After a while, the label gradually moved away and disappeared from his sight.
Tang Song was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Qiu Qiu was thinking.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and went back to his room.
I took off my clothes and took a quick shower.
Tang Song lay naked on the bed, picked up his cell phone, looked at the time, it was almost 23pm.
Turn off the main light and leave on the night light.
Tang Song lay on the bed, thinking about his shy and sensitive partner today, with a faint smile on his face.
The first time I met Gao Mengting was particularly memorable.
The reason why he chose her to be his partner was not only because of her appearance, but also because of the good impression she left on him.
He still remembers the scene where, after signing the "indenture" of Wuling Hongguang, Gao Mengting leaned over the A-pillar of the car, biting her lower lip, tears falling down her face.
I also remember what she said seriously at that time: "Mr. Tang, I hope you treat her well... The rear suspension is a semi-coil spring, which can only pull floating goods... If I am not short of money, I will definitely buy it back..."
This idealistic girl is really a very charming and lovely person.
He cherishes the fate with her.
Scenes from the past came to his mind, and Tang Song suddenly felt a bit "late night emo" and started to have wild thoughts again.
Beautician, big sister, fake socialite, white rich beauty, secretary Jin...
Vivid figures flashed before his eyes.
After a long while, he picked up his mobile phone and opened QQ.
Switching to "April's" small account, in addition to the fan group of [Qingqing is not full], there are also unread messages from Zhang Yan.
The time is 9 o'clock this morning.
There was only one message, which was a picture shared from a sticky note with an essay of several hundred words on it.
------
Tang and Song Dynasties:
Early autumn in Guangzhou is like a lively folk song, carrying the remaining warmth of late summer mixed with a few hints of coolness.
Today is September 9, the autumnal equinox has just passed, and the day and night have finally reached a brief balance. The city is still busy, and I, in this busyness, slowly found my own rhythm.
……
My life recently is like a novel that is opened at random, full of unexpected plots. For example, I have a stray cat. Yes, you heard it right, I, who always fear trouble, actually have a cat.
It is a little orange and white guy, and I named it "Orange".
It was raining the day I met it. It was curled up under the bushes by the roadside, wet all over and with timid eyes, just like me when I first came to Guangzhou.
Orange is very timid. It always hides in the corner. Only when I come home will it quietly poke its head out and look at me with its round eyes.
……
Life is like this, full of trivial things, but it becomes interesting because of these little things.
I hope all is well with you.
——Zhang Yan
September 2023, 9, Yangcheng Whispers.
------
After reading it several times, my thoughts about Tang and Song seemed to be brought to Guangzhou in early autumn by Zhang Yan's words.
I saw the kitten named Orange, visited an old bookstore in the old town, and tasted the multi-grain porridge she cooked.
My heart gradually calmed down.
He lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep without knowing when.
……
September 2023, 9, Sunday, light rain turning to cloudy, 24~15℃.
Lanfeng International Luxury Apartment.
In the early morning, there was a faint sound of thunder outside the window and raindrops were hitting the glass.
Lin Muxue got up early, combed her hair into a neat bun, and changed into light sportswear. She looked refreshed and full of energy.
I made a cup of black coffee and woke myself up completely.
I smiled at the mirror, turned on the camera, and started recording today's vlog.
Fitness, washing, skin care, nutritious breakfast...
"These daily nuts are from a brand I recently collaborated with. They taste great and are also great for replenishing energy after working out."
She was elegant and sexy in front of the camera, her movements were smooth and professional. She finished reading the advertisement and continued to enjoy her breakfast.
After breakfast, Lin Muxue sat down at the workbench, opened her Macbook and iPad, and read financial English documents while writing and drawing on her notebook.
She looked focused, occasionally frowning in thought, and occasionally smiling as if she had suddenly realized something, looking like a workplace elite.
More than half an hour later.
After turning off the camera, Lin Muxue stretched and started editing the video.
Today, she has nearly one million fans on Douyin and 3.5 on Xiaohongshu, making her a well-known internet celebrity. She can earn more than yuan every month just from business orders and advertisements, and that’s because she doesn’t do live streaming.
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated, interrupting her thoughts.
【Lin Tiantian】
Seeing the caller ID, Lin Muxue's heart skipped a beat and she quickly answered the phone, her tone filled with excitement that she couldn't hide: "Hello! Good morning, Assistant Lin!"
During their last phone call, Lin Tiantian mentioned that he would come to Yancheng on the weekend to help her organize the documents needed for admission.
It seems that the wait is finally over!
"Good morning, Ms. Lin Muxue." A gentle and professional girl came from the receiver: "I am currently in Yancheng and will meet you today. I have sent you the things you need to prepare in advance on WeChat. Later, I will arrange for professionals to help you..."
"Okay, thank you! Thank you for your hard work, Tiantian!"
"You're welcome. That's it for now. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Muxue cheered, twisted her legs excitedly, and her face flushed.
I waited for a while.
Lin Tiantian finally sent the things over, which were all the information she had prepared before, such as identity information and adult undergraduate diploma.
He paced back and forth in the living room excitedly.
I memorized a few words and went to the bathroom.
The emotions in my heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
It’s a pity that Tang Song is not here, otherwise I would have dragged him to find a beautician and play an exciting three-person game together.
As if she thought of some scene, Lin Muxue licked her lips and pulled the curtains.
Lie back on the bed.
Although Tang Song is not here, fortunately she knows some water magic.
On such a beautiful autumn morning, listening to the sound of rain outside, how can you not be romantic?
Soon, photos of Tang Song appeared on the phone screen and were placed next to the pillow.
Lin Muxue turned sideways and looked at him in the photo.
His hands began to perform complex magical hand seals, and low, vague spells floated in the quiet bedroom.
Her body rose and fell slightly, her fair skin gradually turned red, and her long legs curled up unconsciously...
Water vapor began to gather in the air, as if responding to her call.
Lin Muxue's face gradually turned red as blood, her eyes became blurred, and she was completely immersed in the world of magic.
At this critical moment, a shrill cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
On the mobile phone screen, Tang Song’s figure disappeared, replaced by the incoming call interface.
【Qianqian】
Lin Muxue, who was in the critical stage of casting the spell, gritted her teeth and answered the phone.
The nervous voice of beautician Zhao Yaqian came from the other end of the phone: "Hello? Xiaoxue!"
"What's wrong, dear?" Noticing that Zhao Yaqian was acting abnormally, Lin Muxue forcibly interrupted the spell.
"Something happened!" Zhao Yaqian took a deep breath and said, "She's here, that woman is here!"
"Ah? What do you mean? Who?" Lin Muxue, who was overwhelmed by desire, didn't react for a moment.
"She is Brother Song's real girlfriend. She is in Yancheng now and will meet me at noon in a private club."
Lin Muxue's eyes suddenly widened and she sat up abruptly, "What? She's here?"
"Well, I just called. Xiaoxue, can you go with me? I'm a little... a little scared."
Lin Muxue's white chest rose and fell, she bit her lip, and said firmly: "No problem, don't worry Qianqian, with me here, everything is fine!"
Zhao Yaqian let out a long sigh, "Thank you, Xiaoxue, will you come over later?"
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll clean up first."
"Yeah, don't worry, there's still time."
hang up the phone.
Lin Muxue leaned on the quilt, breathing heavily, and prepared herself mentally.
She, Xiaoxue, is also Tang Song's woman! She is also his biological assistant! A specially trained talent!
The beautician is the beneficiary of the trust!
The two of them together have a lot of weight!
Even if you, Emperor Su Tian, don't think of bullying us.
Thinking of the surge of emotion in her heart, her emotions rose again.
Looking at Tang Song's figure on the mobile phone screen, the desire to cast a spell that had just been suppressed suddenly attacked his heart in a more intense way.
The magic chanting sounded again.
Lin Muxue's emotions reached a peak at this moment.
So what if it's Su Yu? What big scenes haven't I, Xiaoxue, seen?
Besides, maybe we can meet again when we get back to the court.
When the time comes, I will use a forbidden water spell to draw a map directly on your body!
Hahaha~~
……
Yanjingtian City.
"Knock knock—" There was a crisp knock on the door.
"Enter."
The door was gently pushed open, and Lin Tiantian walked in lightly, saying respectfully, "Director Jin, everything has been arranged for Lin Muxue."
"Okay, got it." Secretary Jin didn't even raise her head, still staring intently at the pages of the book in her hands. Her voice was light and a little lazy.
Since she was at home, she dressed very casually.
A loose white T-shirt hung loosely on her body, with a simple pair of shorts underneath and a pair of soft slippers on her feet. Her hair was casually tied into a bun, with a few strands of hair hanging lazily by her ears.
The whole person was sunken in the sofa, with her legs crossed, her skin was white and translucent, elegant and noble.
Seeing Director Jin’s stunning beauty, Lin Tiantian’s eyes were slightly distracted.
However, when her eyes moved down and fell on the book cover in the other person's hand, her whole body froze instantly.
How to Make a Man Addicted to You
There is a red logo below the title: "Secrets of the Boudoir".
I never expected that Director Jin would even read this kind of book!
The character is a bit broken! Hey!
Lin Tiantian tried hard to control his expression and pretended that he saw nothing.
Just when Lin Tiantian couldn't stop imagining, a pleasant doorbell rang suddenly from the smart speaker in the master bedroom, interrupting her thoughts.
She quickly came back to her senses, glanced at the display screen, and reported: "Director Jin, it's the property staff."
Secretary Jin flipped a page of the book nonchalantly and said calmly, "Go see what's going on."
"Okay." Lin Tiantian responded, turned around and walked quickly out of the master bedroom.
Two minutes passed.
Slightly hurried footsteps were heard.
Lin Tiantian trotted back to the master bedroom, with an unconcealable joy on his face: "Director Jin, the property manager said that this is a gift that President Tang reserved for you!"
"Oh?" Secretary Jin was slightly startled, then quickly stood up from the sofa, his eyes instantly brightened, and there was a subtle expectation in his tone: "Where's the gift?"
"After all, it's a gift for you, I dare not move it, so I asked the staff to put it at the entrance." Lin Tiantian's expression was very well-behaved.
Last time, she suffered a great loss because of Mr. Tang’s 520 gift. Now that she has finally returned to Director Jin, she naturally has to be more cautious.
What if I damage some petals or leaves?
Secretary Jin ignored her little thoughts and walked out briskly.
Passing through the living room and corridor, what comes into view along with the entrance is a bouquet of blooming roses.
Secretary Jin's pace gradually slowed down, his eyes fell on the bouquet, and a hint of deep joy flashed in his eyes.
There are 99 roses, each of which has been carefully trimmed and arranged in an orderly manner. The petals are plump and fresh, exuding a faint fragrance.
Her fingers gently stroked the soft petals, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if she was touching a precious treasure.
Then her eyes fell on the exquisite card in the middle of the bouquet.
He paused slightly, reached out to pick up the card, and gently unfolded it.
[Giving you roses is romantic, and I am complete because of you]
【I love you, irreplaceable】
Secretary Jin's gaze lingered on the card for a long time, his fingertips gently stroking the lines of words, as if he could feel the warmth of Tang Song through the paper.
The corners of her lips unconsciously raised into a smile, her eyes slightly dazed.
Lin Tiantian stood aside, secretly observing Director Jin's expression, feeling filled with emotion.
It took a while.
Secretary Jin carefully put the card away, then gently picked up the bouquet of roses and lowered her head to sniff the fragrance of the flowers.
Turning around, he said calmly, "Help me find a few vases to put these flowers in."
Lin Tiantian nodded quickly, "Okay, Director Jin, I'll do it right away."
"Wait a minute." Secretary Jin suddenly called her.
Lin Tiantian paused and said, "Director Jin, do you have any other instructions?"
"Take a picture for me." Secretary Jin opened the card and placed it in the middle of the roses.
"alright, got it!"
Lin Tiantian quickly took out his mobile phone and turned on the camera.
"Click——" the picture freezes.
Secretary Kim held 99 roses in her arms with a charming smile on her face.
"Send me the photos." Secretary Jin ordered softly, then walked briskly towards the bedroom, with a rare hint of joy in her back.
Lin Tiantian looked at the photos on his phone and seemed to understand the other party's intention.
Love is such a magical thing that it can make Director Jin become like this!
……
Wushan, Shanhaiguan Scenic Area.
The ancient city wall made of blue bricks and gray tiles stretches out in a winding manner, like a giant dragon that has been sleeping for a thousand years.
Tang Song stood at the foot of the city wall of "The First Pass in the World", gazing up at the four powerful and vigorous characters, and an indescribable shock surged in his heart.
At this moment.
"Swish!" The system light curtain suddenly opened.
[On September 2023, 9, your actions indirectly triggered a fierce dispute between the characters "Su Yu" and "Secretary Kim", causing "Su Yu" to fall into severe emotional fluctuations and self-doubt]
[You have completed the hidden mission "Su Yu's Emotional Out-of-Control"]
[You have obtained the special item "Su Yu's Emotional Fragment"]
[Su Yu's Emotional Fragment]: After use, it will trigger an interactive task related to the character, helping players stabilize the character's emotions and improve their favorability. After completing the task, they will obtain skills or peripheral rewards related to the character.
[Note: This interactive task will have an impact on the real-life game characters, please treat it with caution]
Tang Song's eyebrows jumped suddenly and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
I just gave you a bouquet of roses, why did it cause such a big fuss?
Violent arguments? Self-doubt? Not really?
What did Secretary Jin do to Su Yu?
