Tang Song's Mask

In the stylish and bright living room, rhythmic music fills the air.

Tang Song met Xiao Xue's gaze and swallowed hard.

He was certain that her statement, "I'm fine with anything," was a deliberate attempt to provoke him.

After all, he had done everything he could, and having experienced the [Whispers of Lin Mu Xue] instance, he understood Xiao Xue very well, inside and out.

In the past few days, with the company of his Wen Ruan and understanding older sister, he has felt quite comfortable, and his thinking and horizons have been broadened accordingly.

Tang Song gently embraced his beautician friend's soft waist, gazing at Xiao Xue's beautiful face.

He said jokingly, "Actually, I'm fine with anything. The bed in the master bedroom is two meters wide, so the three of us can sleep together."

Hearing this, Zhao Yachian, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing and rested her head on Tang Song's shoulder.

Lin Mu Xue winked and said, "Want to come along, Xiao Xue? We can discuss our work later tonight."

Even when joking, the 19-year-old beautician seems a bit naive, very innocent and cute.

In her eyes, Xiao Xue is now just like Tingzi, her best friend.

They spoke without any restraint.

"O~" Lin Mu Xue's rosy lips parted slightly, and she tried her best to remain calm, but her heart began to pound wildly.

My beautician friend! You really don't understand how serious this is!

If we really did that, then there wouldn't be any time to talk about work!

Tang Song is my boss. If he asks me to help promote something, how can I refuse!

You'll be the one who suffers in the end.

Lin Mu Xue bit her lower lip hard, put her hands down in front of her, and blinked.

Wei Xiao generously and said, "How about next time? Tang Song just got back and needs to rest."

She felt that her public persona had always been stable in front of Zhao Yachian and Tang Song.

The sophisticated and elegant fashion-conscious white-collar elite also relies on this persona to maintain a respectable image.

Therefore, they dare not easily reveal their true thoughts, let alone play the game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

Even if he wanted to have something happen with Tang Song before, he used a one-night stand as an excuse.

After all, as a mature and independent woman, she has every reason to indulge herself occasionally.

And she has been working hard to make it all real.

With the release of her high school classmate Chen Si Yue's blind box video, she gained a lot of followers.

However, because he doesn't stream and only accepts gigs that fit his public image, he doesn't generate much revenue.

But it's still a considerable income.

What excited her even more was that her first paycheck would arrive on the 5th of this month, which is the day after tomorrow.

Things will get better and better in the future.

I believe that if she perseveres for a few more months and her abilities improve, she will truly be able to live the life she wants.

"Okay, next time then. Brother Song, let me take your clothes inside first." Zhao Yachian let go of Tang Song's arm, patted Xiao Xue's pert bottom, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xue, cut a fruit platter for Brother Song, I'm going to take a shower."

After saying that, Zhao Yachian gave Tang Song a charming look, pushed Tang Song's suitcase, bent over, and swayed her little bottom as she walked towards the master bedroom.

Today was a busy day. I worked out at the gym for over an hour at noon and did aerobics all evening. Now I feel sticky all over.

This is very disadvantageous for the upcoming battle.

As the beautician disappeared from the living room, the atmosphere instantly became somewhat awkward.

"Wait for me," Lin Mu Xue pursed her lips, turned around, and walked towards the open kitchen.

Since there were no suitable sneakers available, she had been barefoot the whole time, and unconsciously tiptoed and gently twisted her body as she walked.

From behind, her long, flowing hair swayed from side to side, and the lines of her tight-fitting sportswear smoothly outlined her slender waist, pert hips, and long, shapely legs, exuding a captivating allure.

No wonder she has received professional flight attendant training.

In terms of physique alone, Xiao Xue is more elegant than her older sister.

Soon, a carefully prepared plate of fruit slices was placed on the coffee table.

Several small wooden forks were stuck in it.

"Thank you." Tang Song leaned back on the sofa, picked up a piece of watermelon with a fork, and put it in his mouth.

It has a sweet and refreshing taste, is very juicy, and is icy Cool, Cool, which is very pleasant.

After enjoying a few pieces of fruit, Tang Song relaxed completely.

Immediately, a familiar perfume scent wafted over.

It is Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt.

Ever since I praised her at the Magic City Marriott, Xiao Xue has been criticizing this type of girl frequently.

Mixed with the scent of her other skincare products, it had a faint, refreshing aroma, like a gentle sea breeze.

The surface of the fabric sofa was deformed, and Lin Mu Xue gently sat down next to him.

With her slender, fair fingers, she picked up a grape and gently brought it to Tang Song's lips, her smile gentle and intellectual as she said, "Try this Victoria Grapes. I just bought it today. It's sweet and sour, with plump flesh, and of very high quality."

Tang Song raised an eyebrow, knowing that this Fake Socialite friend was up to something messy again.

Of course, he certainly doesn't mind.

Although there were some minor hiccups during the last one-night stand, I was still very satisfied overall.

However, in order to hone Xiao Xue's emotional intelligence and understanding of women, he did not expose the relationship between the two.

Just like the system said.

As an independent individual, Lin Mu Xue is a very typical woman: self-driven, goal-oriented, confident, insecure, vain, and prone to comparison and showing off...

Every interaction with her in life and work brings new insights.

His charm rating is now over 60, and further improvement will become increasingly difficult.

Tang Song was looking forward to the day when he could trigger a new quest from her again, maybe even get something like a "Charm +1" bonus.

"It's really delicious, you should try it." Lin Mu Xue's tone was somewhat expectant.

The emerald green grapes pressed against his lips.

Tang Song slightly opened his mouth.

The grapes entered her mouth, along with Lin Mu Xue's fingers.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mu Xue traced her fingers across his tongue, teeth, and lips.

"Crunch—" The refreshing, sweet and sour juice explodes in your mouth.

Tang Song's gaze gradually lowered, staring straight at Xiao Xue.

Feeling his gaze, Lin Mu Xue was instantly startled and lowered her head awkwardly.

I was really carried away just now, and since we hadn't seen each other for so long, I couldn't help but go too far with my actions.

These are all tricks she learned from the "Socialite Group".

But who is Tang Song? He is most likely the man behind Su Yu! He has intricate connections with Tang Zong Entertainment!

Will Tang Song be angry?

Thinking of this, Lin Mu Xue nervously raised her head and whispered, "Um... I'm sorry, I accidentally put my hand in, but I washed it carefully."

"Hehe." Tang Song's expression returned to normal. He casually picked up a grape and said in a clear and magnetic voice, "Open your mouth."

Lin Mu Xue was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy, and she quickly opened her rosy lips.

Tang Song's hand stopped about 10 centimeters away from her lips, and he did not continue to feed her, but calmly looked at her.

Upon meeting Tang Song's gaze, Lin Mu Xue, with her mouth agape, flashed panic and unease in her eyes.

She lifted her buttocks slightly and took the initiative to bite the grape.

Tang Song smiled and pushed the grapes inside, his nimble fingers gently teasing her mouth.

Lin Mu Xue maintained this posture, like a cat biting a cat treat.

His gaze gradually relaxed, and his face grew increasingly red.

"Xiao Xue, I just got back from the Imperial Capital and haven't washed my hands yet," Tang Song said calmly.

Lin Mu Xue's eye twitched, then she took a few steps forward.

She actually has a slight case of mysophobia and is usually very clean.

However, when facing Tang Song, she felt she could shed these bad habits.

Seeing Lin Mu Xue's reaction, Tang Song's smile widened. He gently put his arm around her slender waist and placed Lin Mu Xue on his lap.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Song leaned forward, took a breath near her neck, and moved his hand slightly.

Lin Mu Xue's body tensed instantly, and her face turned rosy.

After a while, I finally relaxed.

After all, we've had some in-depth contact, and we can be considered friends who know each other inside and out.

The fruit in the fruit platter was all high-end and exceptionally fresh.

For example, peaches are plump, brightly colored, and sweet and juicy.

Raindrops kept falling from the night sky.

It hit the windowpane and slid slowly down the smooth surface, forming winding streaks of water.

Looking out the window from inside, the world is shrouded in mist during the rainy night.

Vehicles drove by on the street, splashing up sprays of water, their headlights casting a hazy glow in the rain and mist.

Pedestrians held umbrellas, hurrying along, their figures appearing and disappearing in the rain.

"Click—" The door of the Wuling Hongguang was gently pushed open.

"Bang—" The purple umbrella was opened.

He Liting, carrying a bag, climbed out of the passenger seat. "Thank you, President Gao. You still have to pick someone up, so I won't take up any more of your time. Drive carefully on the road."

Bye-bye~, Yi Yi.

"Bye-Bye."

Watching the white Wuling Hongguang S disappear around the street corner, He Liting hummed a song as she walked into the residential area.

Compared to common names like "Lili" and "Xiaoli," she already has a stage name as an independent anchor, which was personally chosen by Mr. Tang.

"He Yiyi," she muttered with a smile.

Now the whole company calls her by the affectionate name "Yi Yi".

The account has been operating smoothly for the past two weeks.

By using videos to drive traffic and select individual products, she can now single-handedly host a two-hour live stream.

Moreover, just today, the talents that Mr. Tang specially recruited from the Imperial Capital arrived at the company one after another to complete their onboarding process.

Half of them were team members recruited for her.

Besides her relationship with Qianqian, it was probably also because he admired her?

Although it felt shameless, He Yiyi was very proud.

Thinking of Mr. Tang's dashing appearance during the video conference this morning, He Liting licked her lips, feeling excited.

On the road, raindrops fell like silk threads.

She stood in the misty rain, gently lifting her skirt with one hand and holding an umbrella with the other. Her steps were light, and she would occasionally twirl or dance to the rhythm of her own song.

Even the deepest night and the worst weather were all affected by her good mood.

Pass through the magnificent entrance lobby and take the elevator directly to the 6th floor.

With the crisp announcement of the elevator, He Liting stepped into the stairwell.

Put the umbrella away properly.

"Beep beep—" The smart door lock opened, He Liting called out as she closed the door, "Qianqian, Xiao Xue, I'm back! Still doing your aerobics? This music is pretty upbeat, wait for me to join in!"

Wearing slippers, I quickly walked into the living room.

He Liting Liting's expression instantly sharpened, and she exclaimed loudly, "Mr. Tang!"

Tang Song was sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room.

"Tingzi, good evening." Xiao Xue, dressed in tight sportswear and standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, subconsciously pulled up her pants and greeted him casually.

Tang Song crossed his legs to hide his embarrassment and said, "Good evening, Yi Yi, thank you for your hard work."

Summer pants are especially thin and light. I just played in the water with Xiao Xue for a while, and if I stood up, they would definitely be very noticeable.

To maintain a positive image, Tang Song had no choice but to compromise.

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work. I didn't work overtime today. It's mainly because some new colleagues joined the company, and we had lunch and chatted together." He Liting put her bag down, walked to the coffee table, picked up a slice of peach and took a bite.

With a smile, she said, "So delicious, so juicy! Hey, Xiao Xue, why is your face so red? Looks like that workout was pretty difficult!"

Lin Mu Xue, standing next to her, kept her legs tightly together and said somewhat awkwardly, "Yes."

He Liting ate another slice of watermelon, then curiously pointed to her athletic shorts, "Xiao Xue, why are your shorts wet?"

"Um..." Lin Mu Xue turned around and faced the French windows, saying, "Oh, I just opened the window and some rainwater accidentally seeped out."

"Yeah, no wonder, it's summer now, and the rain is quite torrential."

Lin Mu Xue grinned. "Um... I'll go change my clothes."

On the surface, he remained calm, but inside he was anxious and afraid.

Good heavens! Tingzi, can you please shut up?! If you keep going, my persona is going to crumble!

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mu Xue swayed her waist and hurriedly disappeared.

When she moved, she put some clothes that she was about to discard into the closet in the guest bedroom so that she could stay here occasionally.

There were even a few pieces of underwear among them, which is really convenient these days.

Until her figure disappeared.

While eating fruit, He Liting secretly sized up her Godfather Tang Song across from her with her big, watery eyes.

Yes, still as handsome and extraordinary as ever!

So charming!

The two chatted briefly about work.

Tang Song gradually relaxed and was finally able to stand up calmly.

"I'll have a meeting with your K3 Live Stream Team at the company tomorrow to discuss IP development."

He Liting smiled Tian Tian and said, "Yes, thank you, Mr. Tang!"

Tang Song said gently, "Hehe, it feels a bit awkward not having to use honorifics all the time at home."

He Liting was, after all, Qianqian's cousin, and thus a half-relative, so she always addressed her with formal terms of address.

It sounds strange in this kind of environment, when you're alone with someone.

He Liting excitedly whispered, "Then... I'll call you... Brother Song too?"

"Do whatever you want, it's fine with you."

"Okay, Brother Song!" He Liting called out Tian Tian.

She is 23 years old this year and graduated from college two years ago, which makes her two years younger than Tang Song.

Calling him "Brother Song" along with Qianqian would be absolutely no problem.

Of course, if it's really as casual as Tang Song said.

She actually wanted to call him "Godfather" more, hehe.

"Qianqian should have finished showering by now. I'm going to the master bedroom," Tang Song said, pointing to the hallway.

"Wait a minute, Brother Song!"

Tang Song looked at her with a puzzled expression.

He Liting smiled and reached out to pluck two long strands of hair from his white shirt. "It's okay!"

"Okay, bye-bye." With a wave, Tang Song stepped out of the sofa area.

Watching the other person's handsome figure disappear, He Liting Liting's expression froze for a moment.

I just caught a familiar scent of perfume on Tang Song, but it wasn't Qianqian's.

After thinking for a moment, her mouth opened wider and wider.

Xiao Xue!? It's the one Xiao Xue usually uses!

Well, maybe I misunderstood.

The two of them have been inseparable these past few days, so it's perfectly normal for them to be using each other's perfume.

Then, He Liting looked at the long hair in her hand.

On the back of his fair hand, his dark brown hair was smooth and strong.

Seeing that familiar hair color, He Liting instantly thought of Lin Mu Xue in the living room just now.

This... this... this is terrible! I've discovered another huge secret!

Oh no! They've already hooked up?!

Qianqian! I told you long ago, you're letting a wolf into the house!

What are we going to do now?!

The man Xiao Xue would sleep with if she were to date her best friend is definitely not as sophisticated and elegant as he appears!

What if she's some kind of wicked woman with ulterior motives?

No, as your older cousin, He Yiyi must help you defend against external enemies!

Fighting alongside you!

The bedroom door was pushed open.

The cozy room was filled with a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Tang Song closed the door, took a few steps forward, and immediately saw the beautician changing clothes by the bed.

I just put on my sweatpants, and I'm only wearing my bra on my upper body.

Hearing the noise at the door, Zhao Yachian quickly looked up. "Brother! I just finished taking a shower."

As she spoke, she stood up from the bed, twirled in front of Tang Song, and said, "This is a tracksuit I just bought. Does it look good?"

"Yes, it's very beautiful," Tang Song said with a smile.

Sparkling eyes, fair and delicate skin, a firm and shapely bust, flowing wine-red hair, and long legs perfectly encased in tight-fitting pants...

Standing before him, Zhao Yachian radiated boundless enthusiasm and vitality.

Tang Song stepped forward and gently embraced the beautician's tall and graceful body, beginning to shamelessly possess her youthful passion.

Zhao Yachian, leaning against Tang Song, sniffed the air, a hint of awkwardness flashing across her face before she quickly recovered and responded warmly.

The temperature in the room is rising steadily.

The once dull-witted beautician now has an exceptionally smooth tongue, and her progress is palpable.

A long time passed.

Tang Song leaned close to the beautician's ear, whispering sweet nothings and revealing his shameless request.

"I'll listen to your brother." Zhao Yachian knelt down, both excited and shy.

First, she kissed her boyfriend affectionately.

Then she began to express her love.

A rustling sound came from the bedroom.

My beautician friend has really changed.

She used to be tongue-tied and never knew how to express herself well.

Although he still speaks with some stutter, he seems exceptionally talented, occasionally uttering a few beautiful words.

"Qianqian." Tang Song's voice trembled slightly.

"What's wrong, brother?" Zhao Yachian looked up and subconsciously licked her lips.

A delicate pink tongue made a smooth flip, sweeping across full, moist red lips.

Combined with her striking features and sexy, hot figure, she gave Tang Song a tremendous visual impact.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Looking at that familiar face, Tang Song was filled with inexplicable emotions.

He pinched her cheek and whispered, "Continue."

"Waaah—"

The sound of raindrops "Didi- drip-drip" drifted outside the window.

The light seeping out from inside the room, refracted by the rain, became hazy and dreamlike.

"Hoo~" Tang Song leaned back slightly and squinted his eyes.

Scenes from when I first met Zhao Yachian flashed through my mind.

19-year-old Zhao Yachian, a girlfriend who gives her all, and a beautician who belongs only to her.

Tang Song gently stroked the beautician's thick, wine-red hair.

Human nature is complex and difficult to summarize simply, just like him at this moment.

The rapid rise in wealth and status brought him not only immense pleasure and joy, but also a sense of fear.

Because this process is happening way too fast.

In particular, this Charm 60 event unlocked previously recruited characters and shares in the company you founded in the game.

The impact on him was indescribable.

His ambition and desires are expanding, his way of thinking is subtly shifting, and his cognition is gradually changing.

He feared that this process of change would kill off his past self, making him no longer like himself.

He completely transformed into the player "Tang Song" in the game.

He doesn't know how the game interacts with reality, but he hopes that in the future, the person he will meet and have in-depth conversations with Secretary Jin will still be "the current him".

In the past few days, he has been temporarily ignoring these things by enjoying the thrill of playing ball with his older sister.

Now he needs more anchors, more ties, to maintain his "self".

So after returning from the Imperial Capital, he couldn't wait to rush to Yanjing Huating, mainly to see his familiar beautician friend.

She was his first woman, and you could say she was his first real love.

The sounds of rain and wind outside the window gradually subsided.

The Yancheng was somewhat blurred in the misty rain, much like his mood at that moment.

"Whoosh!" The System Light Screen unfolded in front of me.

On July 3, 2023, in the villa of Yanjing Huating, feeling the presence and love of your Partner, Zhao Yachian, and reflecting on your past and transformation, you gained a clearer and deeper understanding of yourself.

[You have experienced significant personal growth; you have completed the hidden quest "The Color of My Life"]

[Your Charm +1, you have obtained the special item "Tang Song's Mask"]

Chengjing Business Building.

"Screech—" The sound of brakes rang out.

The white Wuling Hongguang S was parked in the parking lot outside the building.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and graceful figure walked down from above.

"Qiu Qiu! Over here!" Gao Mengting waved to Cheng Qiuqiu, who was standing under the awning.

The sound of footsteps approached, "Tap tap tap."

"Senior Schoolmate! You're here." Cheng Qiuqiu approached, holding an umbrella.

Gao Mengting smiled and took her arm. "Let's go."

Cheng Qiuqiu turned around and politely said to the man who had followed her, "Manager Li, my friend has already picked me up, so I won't trouble you to see me off."

Immediately afterwards, a deep male voice rang out. "Alright then, goodbye, take care on your journey."

Gao Mengting looked up and saw a man in his mid-thirties walking over with Qiu Qiu, dressed in a mature and sophisticated style.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, regular features, and a side-swept hairstyle.

Wearing a brown printed shirt, straight-leg trousers, and casual shoes, he perfectly embodies the style of a young executive at a design company.

To be frank, she's not greasy at all, and quite charming in appearance.

"Okay, bye-bye, Manager Li."

After waving goodbye, Cheng Qiuqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Mengting raised an eyebrow. "No wonder you asked me to pick you up today. Is he your company's vice president?"

"Yes, Li Jingzhong, the General Manager in charge of the design department." Cheng Qiuqiu sat in the passenger seat, a relieved smile on her face.
