My Time Is Running Out!

June 3, 2023, Saturday, sunny turning cloudy, 20~30℃.

Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, illuminating the entire bedroom.

Tang Song opened his eyes from his sleep, feeling a dry mouth and a dizzy head.

I sat up and Mo Mo closed my eyes to feel it.

A wealth of Motorcycle Riding experience and skills appeared in my memory, as if they had been directly crammed in.

This experience pales in comparison to the guitar skills I acquired in my dream, and the painting skills gifted by Su Yu's Soul Tribute.

I poured myself a glass of warm water and drank it.

I sat on the sofa in the bedroom's Rest Area and carefully recalled my driving experience.

After another half hour, I finally regained my composure.

He now has the equivalent of more than ten years of professional Motorcycle Riding experience, which will greatly improve his safety when riding motorcycles in the future.

As long as you don't act recklessly or try to be cool, you're basically set for the future.

Unexpectedly, I also managed to complete the task of "Appease Myself" last night.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense, as the purpose of this task is to Appease Myself by cultivating hobbies and interests.

Last night I took a nice bike ride with a pretty junior, and it was really fun.

I picked up my Mobile Phone and checked the time.

8:35.

Tang Song got up and went to the kitchen to make himself a simple breakfast.

While I was eating, I opened WeChat and checked it out.

There are already quite a few unread messages above.

Xiao Jing sent a picture of a plane ticket, saying she was going to visit her aunt's guesthouse in Spring City with her mother, and asked him if there was any gift she wanted.

Yao Lingling and the others were chatting in the group about the moving process that afternoon.

Zhao Yachian filmed a short video documenting the current progress of the house renovation.

Tang Song clicked on it and took a look.

The once somewhat empty bedroom has become more spacious and inviting.

From the four-piece bedding set to the furniture and decorations, to the curtains and wall hangings, everything is in a unified light color scheme.

It looks cozy and stylish, somewhat like the home in Lin Mu Xue's video.

After replying to the messages one by one, he left a message for Gao Mengting: "I need to use the Wuling Hongguang this afternoon."

After breakfast, Tang Song did a thorough skincare routine and took several unedited photos of her face.

Then she found a photo of her skin from two months ago, created a highly contrasting image, and uploaded it to Little Red Book.

[Title: Two Months of Skin Listening to Advice Transformation: Skin Condition Comparison and Skincare Summary]

[Main text: I published my first makeover post on April 2nd, and it's been exactly two months since then...]

Tang Song sat in the Ergonomic Chair in the study and gave a detailed description of the process of transforming his skin with Zhao Yachian's help.

After completing the final step with the beautician, binding his Partner, and obtaining the [Delicate Skin Buff], his skin condition was immediately optimized.

However, the effect did not end immediately; as time went on, the skin became increasingly smooth.

Now it looks like he's back to his high school self, which is really nice.

With this stark contrast as a selling point, the effect will definitely be much better.

With over 10,000 followers, he's still a long way from the next stage, and he's not in a particular hurry; he'll just go with the flow.

After posting the notes, Tang Song opened Douyin) and took a look.

Current number of followers: 68,112.

The short video he released a couple of days ago did quite well; although it didn't go viral, it still gained him three to four thousand followers.

I went back to the main screen and refreshed it.

I just happened to see the video that Lin Mu Xue posted last night.

[A Day in the Life of a 173cm/53kg Finance Girl at Work (Vlog)]

Looking at Lin Mu Xue, who appeared serious, refined, and elegant in the video, Tang Song chuckled.

Having gone through the "Whispers of Lin Mu Xue" instance, it's really hard to watch these videos of her the same way.

Come to think of it, it seems like I haven't seen her erotic pictures on WeChat for two or three days.

I couldn't help but whisper a sigh: Xiao Xue, you've changed!

Yanjing Huating.

"Is this never going to end?!"

Lin Mu Xue, who was editing a video, grabbed her hair hard, let out a venting shout, and her eyes flickered.

Just now, my high school classmate Chen Si Yue called again, but this time using someone else's number.

Caught off guard, she answered the call without hesitation.

The other party is coming to Yancheng in a few days to film a series of videos, and also to join in the fun of Su Yu Concert.

I'll be staying here for a long time, and I'd like to interview her about her work, life, and current situation.

What's even more disgusting is that He Xiaohui, my nemesis from high school, is also coming, and she even managed to snag a ticket to Su Yu's concert!

In fact, Chen Si Yue had mentioned this to me on WeChat a couple of days ago.

I just didn't know they would stay in Yancheng for so long.

"Ding dong ding dong—" My Mobile Phone suddenly received a series of messages.

Lin Mu Xue turned on the screen, and her eyebrows immediately rose.

Chen Si Yue actually created a group chat!

The name is "Yan City Trip".

Chen Si Yue: "@Lin Mu Xue, besides you, we also have two old classmates from Yancheng. @Mao Wenqiong @Li Da, let's get together sometime, I'll do a show for each of you."

[Chen Si Yue: "Xiao Xue is really something now. She works at a large financial company and is a senior executive! She lives in a luxury mansion, drives luxury cars, and is decked out in luxury goods from head to toe."]

[Chen Si Yue: "Screenshot from Douyin"]

[Mao Wenqiong: "I just found out, Xiao Xue, you're actually in Yancheng? I live near the North Second Ring Road in Huaxin District. When can we meet up?"]

[Li Da: "@Lin Mu Xue, holy crap, Mu Xue, you're actually in Yancheng? Where are you working now?"]

Lin Mu Xue clicked on the screenshot and took a look.

It was a luxury item worth over 400,000 yuan that Tang Song gave to him that day.

She's vain and loves to show off, and she's been showing off in various ways lately.

It must have really provoked this old classmate.

Gritting her teeth, Lin Mu Xue replied in the group chat, "I'm going to Magic City trip soon, so I won't be in Yancheng. I'll wait until I'm done with this."

[He Xiaohui: "@Lin Mu Xue, Xiao Xue, Siyue said you were on a business trip last month. Does your company have so many overseas assignments? But this time we'll be staying there for quite a while, No rush, you'll be back eventually anyway."]

"It's over! It's over!"

Only then did Lin Mu Xue finally realize it.

Chen Si Yue probably never believed from the beginning that she was truly a "financially educated" or an "independent woman".

Saying he wants to open his own blind boxes is probably just an attempt to expose this facade.

Lin Mu Xue was very pretty and popular with boys in high school, but she was bad at studying, came from a poor family, and had a stingy personality, so she didn't get along well with most of the girls in her class.

So she lost contact with these classmates after graduation.

She attended an ordinary vocational college, majoring in "flight attendant," and also worked part-time as a small-time model.

This is also the main reason why she has a beautiful figure and outstanding physique.

Many of her classmates knew about the university she attended.

It's highly improbable that someone who graduated just a few years ago has suddenly become an elite talent in the financial industry.

Given Chen Si Yue's current popularity, many of her high school classmates will probably come to watch the spectacle.

She could simply block these people and ignore them, but there's no guarantee that some malicious people won't expose her true character online, like He Xiaohui.

My current income mostly comes from Little Red Book and Douyin, so I can barely be considered a minor Internet Celebrity. If I get exposed, my account will be shut down immediately.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

In the current situation, borrowing Zhao Yachian's house is no longer a solution.

After all, Chen Si Yue and He Xiaohui would be staying until Su Yu Concert ended. He could pretend to stay for a day, but he definitely couldn't stay for a week or two.

I still have a job; I'm just a receptionist.

Li Da and Mao Wenqiong, who are developing their businesses in Yancheng, are both ticking time bombs, and the truth could be discovered at any time.

"Ding-dong—" My Mobile Phone vibrated; I had received a friend request.

Li Da

After a moment 'Pondered, Lin Mu Xue approved the application and selected "Chat Only" permissions.

"Buzzing—"

[Li Da: "Mu Xue, I was assigned to the Yancheng branch after the New Year. I'm currently working in the medical device industry, and I'm considered a junior manager here. When are you free? I'd like to treat you to dinner."]

Lin Mu Xue casually replied with a smiley emoji and ignored him.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, looking anxious and bewildered.

Tang Song! Tang Song! Only you can save me!

After a while, she took out her Mobile Phone and dialed the number of one of her friends, Li Menghan.

She met Li Menghan while working part-time as a model. Li Menghan was a few years older than her, had dated more than ten boyfriends, and owned a large fishpond.

She's a genuine female player with a very rich romantic history.

"Hey, Xiao Xue, what brings you to call me all of a sudden?"

Lin Mu Xue Pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Menghan, I wanted to ask you how to quickly get closer to a boy. My current relationship with him is..."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mu Xue's voice kept asking questions in the bedroom.

Although she has high emotional intelligence and knows a lot, she has never actively seduced a man and urgently needs to learn some new knowledge.

11:30 AM.

In the home theater.

Tang Song held the game controller, playing the game with an excited expression.

"Ding ding ding~" WeChat voice message sounded.

I paused the game and picked up my Mobile Phone to take a look.

[Lin Mu Xue?]

Tang Song blinked in surprise, then answered the call, "Hello, Xiao Xue."

Soon, a familiar voice came through the receiver. "Good afternoon, Tang Song. Have you eaten yet?"

"No."

"Hehe, that's perfect." Lin Mu Xue smiled. "I've been obsessed with making low-fat meals lately, so I made one especially for you. Want to try it?"

Tang Song sat up straight and chuckled, "Okay, thank you, Xiao Xue."

"You're welcome. I felt really embarrassed receiving so many gifts from you last time. Just wait a moment, I'll be downstairs in about 10 minutes. Just open the door and press the elevator button for me."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song's smile widened.

Lin Mu Xue is quite interesting; she actually came up with this whole charity lunch thing.

Tang Song turned off the game console, stretched, and walked towards the living room.

I waited for about 6 or 7 minutes.

The video doorbell rang, and through the clear display screen, he could see Lin Mu Xue standing outside the lobby, smiling and waving at him.

I unlocked the front door, went to the elevator, and pressed the up button.

After waiting a while, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Lin Mu Xue, dressed in a sexy workout outfit, walked out with a light sheen of sweat on her forehead, clearly having walked quite a distance.

"Good afternoon." Lin Mu Xue waved to him, stepped forward, and handed him the food container she was holding.

The clothes were deliberately pulled down, revealing a large expanse of fair skin on the chest.

The treasured limited-edition perfume exudes its fragrance without restraint.

"Thank you." Taking the food container, Tang Song's gaze lingered on her chest for a moment before he smiled and asked, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

A flicker of desire flashed in Lin Mu Xue's eyes, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Alright, I'll take this opportunity to admire your spacious apartment. I've only heard Qianqian mention it before."

I turned a corner along the spacious corridor and opened the brown armored door.

Tang Song pointed to the Entrance Hall closet on the right, "There are slippers inside."

Lin Mu Xue nodded quickly, her eyes taking in the luxurious decor.

I changed into slippers in the spacious walk-in closet.

As she walked toward the living room, Lin Mu Xue could clearly hear her own heart pounding.

The living and dining room, spanning over 100 square meters, is exquisite and grand, with an Italian-style light luxury décor that blends classic and modern elements, exuding a high-end feel.

Outside the 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows are towering skyscrapers bathed in sunlight.

She took a deep breath, her face flushed and her voice trembling slightly, and said, "Can I walk around the room? Don't worry, I won't touch anything."

Tang Song gave her a meaningful look, then Wei Xiao and nodded, saying, "Of course."

Lin Mu Xue bit her lip, stepped onto the high-end floor, and tried to suppress her excitement to make her walk more gracefully.

She didn't walk very fast, and she would stop from time to time to Pat Pat and look around.

Once she disappeared from Tang Song's sight, her steps quickened and her eyes grew brighter.

Fendi sofas, cabinets, coffee tables...

Miele's complete set of imported kitchen appliances, cooktops, and all-in-one machines, Gaggenau's custom-made refrigerators...

All the bathroom fixtures were from Laufen, a top-tier bathroom brand, and they were all high-end series that she had seen online.

Pushing open the door to the master bedroom, Lin Mu Xue instantly broke out in goosebumps.

Hermès, Hermès, Hermès ...

Sofas, saddle cases, lamps, vases, ornaments, blankets, pillows...

They're all Hermès!

She took a deep breath and felt dizzy.

In the realm of luxury goods, Hermès undoubtedly reigns Honor of Kings.

Brands like LV and Chanel are always packed with people during holidays, but Hermès is never crowded, and there isn't even a Hermes store in Yancheng.

To become a VIP member with the lowest threshold, one needs to spend at least one million per year.

And it was in this bedroom that she saw countless Hermès.

Lin Mu Xue felt like she had entered her own paradise, taking Mobile Phone and checking in on social media like crazy with her phone.

After a while, her face was flushed and burning hot, and she couldn't calm down.

He licked his lips, slowly approached the bedside, buried his head in the blanket, and breathed in Tang Song's scent, feeling refreshed.

Then, Lin Mu Xue's eyes flickered.

She took out her inner breast pads and put them in her bag.

She would stop at nothing and be shameless as long as she could win over Tang Song, this Male God.

Inside the restaurant, Tang Song held chopsticks and savored the low-fat meal prepared by Lin Mu Xue.

Pan-fried salmon, shrimp, crab sticks, Spicy Cabbage, poached egg, and mixed grain rice.

The ingredients were fresh and clean, and the presentation was exquisite. It was clear that a lot of care was put into the preparation, and the taste was also excellent.

"Tap tap tap—" The sound of slippers approached.

Tang Song looked up and saw Lin Mu Xue approaching.

"How does it taste? Do you like it?"

"Great, I love it."

"That's good. Anyway, we both work at Yunxi Building. If you want something to eat, just let me know anytime. It's easy for me." Lin Mu Xue pursed her lips, slowly sat down in front of him, and crossed her arms.

"That's good, thank you." Tang Song paused slightly in his movements, his gaze unconsciously drifting to her chest.

Through the thin workout clothes, the marks of the bulge could be faintly seen.

"The weather's getting hot lately, so I'm thinking of buying some indoor gym equipment..." Lin Mu Xue sat opposite him, speaking seriously about her fitness plan, looking very elegant.

Tang Song's lips twitched.

As expected of you, Xiao Xue! You really understand the power of contrast!

Keep up the good work!

Noticing Tang Song's occasional glances, Lin Mu Xue gently rubbed her legs.

She already has a comprehensive strategy for dealing with the "blind box crisis".

Not only can it pass perfectly, but it can also hold a large amount.

However, all of this is predicated on Tang Song having Good impression for her.

Even if he finds out some of his true colors by then, he won't necessarily hate himself.

Lin Mu Xue, your time is running out!

1 p. m.

A white Bentley Continental slowly drove into the Zhu Xi Residential Area.

Tang Song parked the car and got out.

His gaze fell upon his old companion, the Wuling Hongguang S.

It must have just been washed; the white body was gleaming and looked very energetic in the sunlight.

Tang Song took out his Mobile Phone and called Gao Mengting.

Less than two minutes later, a slender and beautiful figure walked out of the building entrance.

She wore low-saturation makeup, her features were delicate and beautiful, and her eyes were bright and expressive.

Wearing a casual black undershirt and gray shorts, she stood gracefully in the sunlight.

In a daze, Tang Song saw some of Secretary Jin's shadow in the other person.

Upon seeing Tang Song, Gao Mengting smiled brightly and said softly, "Good afternoon."

Tang Song pursed her lips and sincerely complimented, "My partner looks beautiful today too."

"Thank you for the compliment Mr. Tang." Gao Mengting winked at him, took out the car keys from her pocket and handed them over. "Here, you finally remembered this little Wuling. You can't forget your old love just because you have a new one. You should drive it occasionally."

Tang Song reached out and took the key, then pulled a car key from his pocket and placed it in her hand, smiling, "Then let's take turns driving it for two days, so you can experience the fun of Bentley."

Gao Mengting glanced at the elegant and sophisticated Bentley Continental GT beside her and hesitated before saying, "No, I don't think so... I can't afford to pay for it if it gets bumped or scratched."

"Don't worry, you don't need to pay for it. Don't be so polite with me." Tang Song knew that Gao Mengting really liked driving, and that her driving skills were much better than his.

Gao Mengting thought for a moment and explained, "Okay, I'm going to the Yancheng Business Incubation Base next Tuesday for an event that involves employee recruitment and startup policy support. Driving this car there will make our company look more prestigious."

"OK, that's perfect."

He had heard his partner mention this before.

College graduates who start their own businesses within five years of graduation can receive many subsidies after obtaining a business license and operating normally, including social insurance, venue rental, tax incentives, and so on.

The two stood in front of the car and chatted for a while.

Tang Song stepped forward and patted her on the back, smiling, "You've worked hard lately. This should be your first weekend off, so have a good rest at home. I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

"Are you being a pervert again?" Gao Mengting laughed and patted him on the back. "Be careful on the road. You haven't driven a manual transmission for a while, so you need to get used to it."

"Thank you for your concern, partner." Tang Song got into the driver's seat and waved to him.

"Vroom vroom--" The familiar engine sound rang out.

The Wuling Hongguang started smoothly, accelerated, and disappeared from sight.

Gao Mengting stepped forward, touched the Bentley emblem, unlocked the vehicle, and sat inside to experience the interior.

His eyes were filled with emotion.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier luxury car worth 4 million. It's fantastic.

This event is very important, as it offers many preferential policies and support, and will also provide financing assistance to outstanding startups in need.

During her university years, Gao Mengting was a prominent figure on campus and knew many outstanding alumni.

Many of the people at this event were also her old acquaintances.

She didn't actually have much of a desire to show off, but having fallen to rock bottom and now soaring high, she might as well have a plan to show off in front of her old classmates.

Moreover, Songmei Clothing is indeed something to be proud of today.

They were among the strongest of all the startups that attended the conference.

Star Garden Residential Area.

"Jia Hong, don't forget there's another basin here."

"You can take this shower gel; I bought a new one online."

"Check again, your ID card, bank cards, and other important items. Moving is the easiest way to lose these things."

"Bang!" The large trunk of the Wuling Hongguang was firmly closed.

The group got into the car one after another.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yao Lingling looked around and said with a smile, "Young man, your car is really great. It's excellent for carrying people and goods, and it looks quite handsome too."

Li Shumin chimed in, "Yes, yes, especially the interior—it's so beautiful!"

"This is a used car I bought. The previous owner was a beautiful woman who modified it very well."

Tang Song started the engine while talking.

Yao Lingling turned on the navigation and placed her Mobile Phone on the shelf in the center console.

The vehicle slowly started moving, accompanied by the navigation prompts.

With a lot of luggage, four people in the car, and the air conditioning on, the 1.5L Wuling Hongguang S was struggling.

As the car drove out of the Star Garden Residential Area, it traveled further and further along the bustling streets.

The atmosphere inside the carriage gradually became silent.

Sitting in the back row, Zhang Jiahong stared blankly at the scenery rushing past the window.

I'm about to leave.

I lived in the surrounding area for four years of university and one year after graduation, so I was already very familiar with this place.

Now, for the sake of my future, I'm stepping into an unfamiliar environment alone, not knowing what will happen.

I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Yao Lingling sighed and turned on the car's music player.

Soon, soft and melodious singing filled the car.

Li Shumin took Zhang Jiahong's hand and began to chat with her about interesting things that happened at school.

Yao Lingling quickly joined in, making some witty remarks.

The chatter of the three girls was particularly pleasant, making the atmosphere inside the car more cheerful.

Sitting in the driver's seat Tang Song listened to them talk about some familiar places and felt particularly warm and fuzzy.

3 p. m.

The Wuling Hongguang slowly drove into a factory area.

The area is somewhat remote, and there are no businesses in sight.

After walking along a small path for a few more minutes, we finally arrived at today's destination, "Hongli Cheng Garment Factory".

"Senior, turn right ahead. There's a big black iron gate over there. Go inside and you'll be in the dormitory area."

"Okay, okay, we can stop here."

They parked the car near the entrance, and the four people got out one after another.

Tang Song shrugged.

The air was filled with a pungent smell, a mixture of metal, engine oil, and dust.

The surrounding buildings must be quite old, with cracked walls and peeling paint.

Yao Lingling and Li Shumin looked around the factory and felt a little sorry for their good friend.

Zhang Jiahong, however, appeared quite carefree, instructing everyone to open the trunk and begin unpacking.

Jinxiu New City Residential Area.

"Knock knock knock—" "Knock knock knock—"

The knocking continued.

Zhang Ziqi, who was watching a drama, looked out through the peephole, opened the door in surprise, and said, "Wen Ruan, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

"You guess."

Wen Ruan walked in carrying two bags.

He hung his bag on the shelf, expertly took out fruit and drinks from the refrigerator, and sat down on the sofa.

Zhang Ziqi's eye twitched. "Did you argue with your parents again?"

With Wen Ruan cherry in her mouth, Wen Ruan said in a muffled voice, "As you can see, I've been kicked out and am now a poor, homeless person."

"Why? I saw you posting photos of your outing with your parents on Moments last week."

"They introduced me to another blind date this afternoon, and my aunt brought him home."

"And then?" Zhang Ziqi sat down next to her and grabbed a handful of cherries.

Wen Ruan shrugged. "I explained my criteria and requirements for choosing a partner, and then I was kicked out."

Zhang Ziqi asked curiously, "What are the conditions?"

She said Wen Ruan and playfully, "I followed what Tang Song said."
