A Dream

The Mercedes-Benz slowly drove out of the building.

Xu Qing sat in the passenger seat, feeling itchy all over.

He kept stealing glances at Tang Song beside him.

Ultimately, the two weren't really close.

We didn't have any real interaction during university, and we only met once at work.

Especially since she accidentally posted cosplay photos a couple of days ago, it's a bit awkward to be alone with her.

Noticing the occasional glances directed their way, Tang Song smiled and pointed to the glove box in front of the passenger seat, "There's a little gift inside for you. See if you like it."

When dating a beautiful girl, especially one who was a popular female classmate in college, Tang Song doesn't mind making the process a little more romantic.

There are also gifts?

Xu Qing was taken aback, her face slightly flushed, and she said, "I'm so embarrassed..."

As she spoke, she opened the glove box.

Inside, a black gift box lay quietly.

The pale gold "chaneL" logo was so alluring that she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Chanel!

She suppressed the upward curve of her lips to make herself appear less surprised, and gently opened the gift box.

A delicate and stylish gold bracelet comes into view.

It presents an elegant luster and texture, with exquisite double C logos set on both sides of the chain, covered with diamonds, showing a luxurious aesthetic.

Xu Qing's heart was pounding wildly when she received such a valuable gift for the first time.

"It's summer now, and a pretty bracelet can beautifully accentuate the lines of bare wrists. I think this one would be perfect for you. Do you like it?"

"I like it, thank you for the gift." Xu Qing's tone involuntarily rose.

Her eyes Jing Jing, and when she looked at Tang Song beside her again, her expression had completely changed.

Former university alumni, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz business sedan, a gentle and handsome business elite, luxury gifts, and five-star hotels.

Good heavens! It really is based on the setting of its own novel!

In the car, the two chatted intermittently about legal work.

Tang Song looked at Xu Qing beside him and felt something was off.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I see a shadow of that School Beauty Shen, in her.

The beige casual suit dress, gold heels, and mature makeup made her look very intellectual and fashionable, quite different from what I remembered.

As Xu Qing gradually relaxed, she quietly put on her beloved bracelet.

It is tough yet lightweight, both comfortable and beautiful.

She took out her Mobile Phone, took a picture of the bracelet, searched for it, and bit her lip in surprise.

Chanel Classic Double C Bracelet, retail price 4200 yuan.

This is just a simple little gift for meeting someone.

The second male lead's actions certainly did not disappoint.

After taking a few more photos, I finally closed the gift box carefully, satisfied, and stuffed it into my Coach Bag, making it bulge.

With her eyes darting around, Xu Qing opened the "The Beauty of the Anime World" group chat.

I shared the photos.

Although I've posted many stories here, this is the first time I've shared photos.

Her story has recently reached its climax, attracting a great deal of attention in the group.

The photos caused an uproar in the group chat shortly after they were posted.

Si Si: "Wow! The Chanel bracelet is so beautiful!"

Ling Ziyue: "This is the first time I've seen Qing Qing's photo. Her hands and legs are beautiful too, perfectly matching my image!"

White Valley: "The photo was taken inside a car, right? The interior looks so luxurious!"

Yun Yu: "It's Mercedes-Benz S-Class. I've ridden in the passenger seat a few times when I accompanied my boss on business trips. No wonder he's a top lawyer."

Susu: "Qing Qing, Boss, weren't you supposed to be on a date with your lovestruck classmate today?"

With these elements added, the group chat was instantly transported into Qing Qing's previous story.

He started pressing her for details about the date.

Xu Qing's smile stretched almost to her ears.

Click the input box and your fingers fly across the keyboard.

Lanfeng International Five-Star Hotel.

Step into the magnificent hotel lobby.

Xu Qing subconsciously moved closer to Tang Song and followed the greeter to the Lanyue Chinese Restaurant on the 3rd floor.

The first thing you see is a huge, luxurious courtyard-style lobby.

It retains traditional Chinese elements while incorporating modern minimalist style, resulting in an elegant and sophisticated look.

I walked forward along the brightly lit corridor and stopped at the window on the inside.

After the two were seated...

Tang Song laughed and said, "Order whatever you want to eat. You're in charge today."

"Thank you." Xu Qing took the menu, flipped through it a few times as if she knew what she was doing, and then said directly to the waiter next to her, "Black Pepper Snowflake Wagyu Cubes, Crab Roe Peony Shrimp Balls, Lanyue Crispy Chicken, pistachio almond milk."

After ordering the dishes she had been craving for a long time, Xu Qing handed the menu back, saying somewhat apologetically, "The portions here aren't large, so I ordered a lot. Is that alright?"

"Of course, no problem." Tang Song winked at her, added two more of her signature dishes, and casually asked, "Is there anything you'd like to drink?"

"Mango Pomelo Sago is fine."

"Okay, then let's add two more cups of Mango Pomelo Sago, that's all."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter nodded politely and pulled open the semi-transparent carved screen next to him.

While waiting for the food to be served.

Tang Song asked curiously, "Xu Qing, are you still living with Shen Yuyan?"

Xu Qing nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's in the Beicheng Garden Residential Area in Yuhua District."

"I heard from Lu Ziming that she's started her own business now, right? What kind of project is she working on?"

Tang Song had a very deep impression of this former school beauty.

She is pure and beautiful, confident and generous, multi-talented, and has strong personal abilities.

However, he was not within the other person's circle of friends at the time.

My understanding of Shen Yuyan comes mostly from other people's descriptions and two brief encounters at Lu Ziming's birthday party.

"Yes, Yan Yan has been running her business for almost two years now. As for the project, you'd never guess—it's housekeeping services." Xu Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "At first, I thought she was joking, but I didn't expect her to actually succeed. Now she's in talks for funding and plans to expand her business throughout the province."

"Household management?" Tang Song raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Xu Qing nodded and began to narrate.

After graduating from university, thanks to her outstanding personal abilities and a referral from a senior student, Shen Yuyan got a job in HR at a well-known foreign company.

Later, after hearing that his college classmate Zhang Tianqi was preparing to start a business, I learned about his business plan in detail and decisively resigned from my job to join him.

Zhang Tianqi's uncle is a senior executive at a large property management company. Their housekeeping company initially relied on the property management company's promotional cooperation to acquire its first batch of customers and gradually stabilized its business.

Next, they found a Second-Generation Rich alumnus Hou Shaoyuan, to invest in their seed round, gradually expanding their scale.

The current model is to acquire customers through online promotion and to operate offline through a combination of self-management and intermediaries.

Shen Yuyan is mainly responsible for online operations, and frequently shoots various in-depth cleaning videos, which have garnered her a considerable following on platforms such as Douyin and Little Red Book.

After briefly recounting Shen Yuyan's entrepreneurial experience, Xu Qing suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, many people in this company are our alumni, including Wang Ning from your major, who is now in charge of the company's technology department."

Upon hearing this familiar name, Tang Song was slightly taken aback.

Wang Ning was his class monitor in college. He was quite good at his major, but he was also very slick and had a bureaucratic air about him at a young age. He spoke and acted in a pretentious manner.

During his university years, Tang Song was withdrawn, unsociable, and focused on his studies. He didn't take Wang Ning, the class monitor, seriously, and their relationship was just so-so. Wang Ning also made some pointed remarks to him.

As the dishes were served one by one, Xu Qing's eyes sparkled as she looked at each exquisite dish.

She only had a light meal at noon and is now starving.

After exchanging a few polite words with Tang Song, he couldn't wait to start eating, excitedly standing on his tiptoes, and occasionally describing the taste of a certain dish to Tang Song with a smile.

The feigned aura of a novel heroine she had cultivated completely vanished.

Looking at the lively and lovely Xu Qing in front of him, Tang Song recalled her from his university days, gradually merging the two images together.

University is a period of high hormone levels, and in that environment, the most discussed topic in the dormitory every day is pretty female classmates.

Although Xu Qing is not as dazzling as Shen Yuyan, she has a good personality, loves cosplay, and is equally popular.

Given that the two were often seen together, their allure to the male students was undeniable.

Although the Tang Song longed for the White Moonlight, they occasionally indulged in unrealistic fantasies.

Outside the gate of Beicheng Garden Residential Area.

Xu Qing, carrying her bag, opened the car door, waved, and said, "Thank you for the delicious meal and gifts today. I'm very happy. Bye-bye, drive carefully."

Over the course of a meal, the two quickly became familiar with each other, and Xu Qing acted much more naturally.

Looking at her pretty face, Tang Song suddenly said, "Xu Qing, if you have any more good cosplay photos next time, you can send me a copy. The set of photos from last time was really good."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing swayed slightly, her face instantly flushing red.

Damn it! I'm all dressed up so smartly today, and you still can't forget those suggestive pictures!

"Bye-bye~" Tang Song waved to her and sped away.

Xu Qing swung her fist forcefully in the direction he left, then turned and walked into the community gate with a face full of shame and indignation.

As I approached the building entrance, I saw two familiar figures downstairs.

She quickened her pace, hugged her best friend tightly, and said with a smile, "Yan Yan, what a coincidence, we arrived at the same time."

Then, Hou Shaoyuan, "Mr. Hou, good evening. Did you two go out shopping and on a date again? Let me see what you bought."

As she spoke, she reached out to snatch the shopping bag from her best friend's hand.

Shen Yuyan slapped away her mischievous hand and said irritably, "Don't get this dirty. This is an outfit I bought for tomorrow's Negotiation Conference."

"Okay." Xu Qing Dudu, but she knew what was important and didn't move again.

Shen Yuyan smiled at Hou Shaoyuan and said, "Shaoyuan, I'll go upstairs with Qing Qing first. Drive carefully on the way."

Hou Shaoyuan looked at him, chuckled, and waved. "I look forward to your performance tomorrow. Just do your best. It doesn't matter if you don't achieve your goal."

"Okay, bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye."

Watching the campus belle, exuding Pure Desire charm, and her beautiful best friend leave, Hou Shaoyuan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and took one out.

Take a deep breath and exhale a long smoke ring.

There weren't many companies participating in this roadshow, and only three investment companies showed little interest in domestic service companies like theirs.

Although I passed the preliminary selection through Lu Ziming's connections, my chances are still very slim.

But this is good too. If he fails a few times, he can take the opportunity to suggest taking Shen Yuyan to see his father to seek financing.

Of course, to increase the success rate, it's best to do it as a girlfriend.

Back to the Rental House.

After joking around with her best friend for a bit, Xu Qing quickly washed up and changed into a comfortable set of pajamas.

Excitedly, I sat down at my desk and turned on my computer.

The sound of typing was incessant, and lines of text appeared on the screen.

He stood quietly downstairs in the twilight, his gaze towards Xu Yanqing filled with unspoken words.

They stood there Jingjing, as if time had frozen in that moment.

Outside, the wind sped by, while inside the car, it was quiet and cozy.

Xu Yanqing turned to look at Tang Song, who was driving. Her profile was so handsome that it looked as if it had been meticulously sculpted.

His nose was high and elegant, like a mountain peak standing proudly on his face, and the slightly turned angle added a touch of mystery to his appearance.

Recalling the scene of today in her mind, Xu Qing was inspired and wrote with great ease.

I completed today's task in just two hours.

Clicking "Publish" instantly made me relax.

Lying on the bed with her legs up, she took out her beloved Chanel bracelet and looked at it again and again.

He then Dudu to himself for a while.

Sleepiness washed over me, and I drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

That night, she had a long dream.

The gentle and affectionate second male lead falls deeply in love with her and vows to marry no one but her.

After overcoming numerous hardships, he knelt down on one knee under the aurora borealis in Northern Europe, confessed his love to her, and wept bitterly.

In an instant.

The sky turned pink, heart-shaped bubbles floated in the air, and roses covered the earth, enveloping them.

The stars in the sky transformed into shooting stars, streaking across the night sky, while the moon sank to their side, radiating a soft light.

Just then, the ruthless and domineering CEO drove his dump truck straight over...
