Human Warmth, Wen Ruan and Su Yu
"Whoosh—" The sound of the toilet flushing rang out.
Lin Mu Xue washed her hands and looked up at herself in the mirror.
The crimson on her face seemed to seep out from her skin.
"Ah!" Zhao Yachian's excited exclamation came through the bathroom door, accompanied by the sound of the bed board being squeezed.
Lin Mu Xue shuddered suddenly, a wave of heat enveloping her.
"Thump thump—"
At this moment, her heart rate is definitely over 130.
Despite having been mentally prepared, I was still extremely nervous when the time came.
Ultimately, she still has a sense of shame.
Moreover, Xiao Xue's life revolves around her face.
She always strives to maintain elegance and intellect in front of beauticians and Tang Song.
I must maintain my composure later and absolutely not spout trash talk in front of Qianqian!
Pushing open the bathroom door, Lin Mu Xue smiled awkwardly as she walked into the bedroom area in her high heels.
The curtains were drawn completely, making the room dark even in broad daylight.
The entire suite was illuminated only by soft, warm Mood Lighting.
The beautician's long, voluptuous, and snow-white legs were particularly eye-catching.
A black dress lay on the back of the sofa, while Tang Song's T-shirt and jeans were carelessly tossed on the floor.
The surroundings were filled with noise, accompanied by the beautician's shouts.
I stared blankly for a moment.
Lin Mu Xue bent down and carefully picked up Tang Song's clothes, folded them, and placed them on the table.
"Xiao Xue!" Tang Song's urgent voice suddenly rang out.
Lin Mu Xue tensed instantly and shouted, "Yes!"
"Come over!"
Lin Mu Xue's legs went weak, she bit her moist lips, and approached at an incredibly slow pace.
"Da-da-da"
She had only taken a few steps when a pair of warm hands embraced her.
Lin Mu Xue gasped softly, and when she came to her senses, she found herself on the soft and comfortable bed.
Before her were Tang Song's bright and burning eyes, and his overwhelming aura.
Immediately afterwards, a delicate hand landed on her.
Lin Mu Xue's eyes trembled, and she turned her head to see the beautician's flushed face.
"Tang... Tang Song, this... isn't this a bit inappropriate? I was actually worried about Qianqian's safety and wanted to send her over. She has to go to school tomorrow... sob—"
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Song silenced her with a kiss.
The Armani business suit I just bought was opened and thrown out.
Breathing in two completely different fragrances and experiencing two completely different postures, Tang Song's eyes were glazed over, and his heart was surging.
A summer afternoon.
The asphalt on the street softened under the scorching sun, and from a distance, the air above the road seemed to tremble slightly, creating illusory and hazy light and shadow.
The world seemed to be slowed down, immersed in an atmosphere that blended languor and passion.
5 p. m.
When Lin Mu Xue woke up from her deep sleep, she found herself alone in bed.
My whole body felt like it was falling apart; I really suffered a lot.
Then came the sound of rushing water from the bathroom, along with the voices of Tang Song and Qianqian.
They... still have energy?!
The scenes that had just unfolded flashed before her eyes, and Lin Mu Xue's eyes twitched.
In the past, when my best friend and I talked late into the night, we would say things like we were going to take down the Tang Song dynasties together.
Once in bed, the beautician betrayed her without hesitation.
Together with Tang Song, they retaliated against her.
In the end, he, the substitute, became the ball.
"Hiss~" Lin Mu Xue gasped and pulled the blanket tighter around herself.
How come I never noticed before that beauticians are so Eloquent Tongue!
Just then, the bathroom door opened.
The sound of footsteps thumping could be heard.
Lin Mu Xue looked up and saw Tang Song, who was soaking wet.
A strong physique, defined abs, and handsome features.
Thinking back on what had happened, Lin Mu Xue was in a daze.
"Come on, Xiao Xue, go take a shower. You and Qianqian haven't had lunch, you must be hungry now, right?" Tang Song strolled over to her side. "After you shower, I'll take you to get some local food."
"I don't have the strength right now, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up." Lin Mu Xue sat up in bed, covered her chest with the blanket, and her brown wavy hair was draped over her snow-white shoulders.
Tang Song chuckled and reached directly into the blanket.
Sensing the strange sensation within her, Lin Mu Xue exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening abruptly, "Tang Song, Tang Song, you need to give me a moment to catch my breath!"
"Don't be afraid, I'll carry you to take a bath." Tang Song picked her up in a princess carry, gently kissed her neck, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xue, thank you for coming to see me with Qianqian today. I'm very happy."
Lin Mu Xue was flattered and surprised to receive such treatment for the first time, staring blankly into his eyes.
It was as if I could see some doting and affection in his eyes.
This discovery filled her with instant ecstasy.
She pursed her dry lips and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck.
The fusion of spirit and flesh, the ultimate enjoyment.
If you disregard the fact that neither of them was wearing clothes, the scene was actually quite romantic.
Feeling her gaze, Tang Song lowered his head again, their lips meeting in a tender and affectionate kiss.
Today is also very meaningful for him, as it marks another new achievement.
Moreover, by indulging his desires and whims, he was able to completely break free from the memory of "2016".
I feel truly grateful and fond of Zhao Yachian and Lin Mu Xue.
The water at the perfect temperature falls from the showerhead, and the rich foam flows over smooth skin.
Laughter and playful noises could be heard from the bathroom from time to time.
Feeling the different rises and falls of the two girls, Tang Song comfortably squinted his eyes.

[Mission Reward: 10% Growth Progress, Constitution +1, Stamina +2, Agility +2, Goldfinch's Item Pack *1]
[Mission Progress: Incomplete]
The basic attributes have all been slightly improved.
As for Cultivation Plan Mission, it is not difficult for Zhao Yachian now.
With the system's help, her comprehension level reached 60, which was considered acceptable.
If you have talent and are determined to learn, you will definitely be able to learn it well.
He was naturally very confident in the talent that the system had rewarded him with.
Once the Canary learns its magnificent dance, it will surely shine with its own unique brilliance.
Speaking of which, the character he once recruited, [Female Star - Su Yu], really seems like a fully-fledged Canary.
Outstanding appearance, elegant demeanor, gentle personality and emotional management, excellent social skills...
The current Qianqian is actually moving towards a weaker version of Su Yu.
Speaking of which, today is Wen Ruan Magic City's second day in Shanghai. They should have met by now, right?
What was the final result?
Given their mature personalities, they definitely won't fight, right?
Magic City, Tang Zong Entertainment.
In the bright and sunny conference room.
A dignified and elegant woman stood up, Wei Xiao, and said, "Director Wen, I am Wang Dandan, Senior Administrative Assistant. I am 29 years old and graduated from..."
"I'm Liu Jing, the assistant in charge of strategic planning. I'm 32 years old..."
Wen Ruan sat on the soft chair in the conference room, listening to her Assistant Team's self-introductions, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
This is a perfect team, all of whom are professionals in their respective fields.
It can help her to comprehensively plan and coordinate various company affairs, and assist in the formulation of work plans and schedules.
Even her daily life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, can be arranged by her life assistant.
Before this, she actually only had one assistant, Zhang Xintong, who could only handle OA applications and help with meeting minutes.
She still had to do most of the work herself.
It was quite obvious that I felt powerless.
She wasn't a workaholic; she willingly took over the work at Guangying Media and Xingyun International because she wanted to be a better match for Tang Song.
It also allows me to elevate my own status.
Now that she has a team, she has been completely freed from the complicated work and can more easily balance work and life.
After a two-hour conversation, the meeting ended.
A series of crisp, rapid footsteps echoed in the hallway, followed by a knock on the conference room door.
A tall and beautiful figure walked in.
"President Mo!" "President Mo!"...
Mo Xiangwan nodded slightly and shook hands with Wen Ruan. "I'm sorry, I'm quite busy today."
Wen Ruan smiled and said, "It's okay, the colleagues at Tang Zong Entertainment are very welcoming."
It was more than just enthusiasm; from the moment she joined Tang Zong Entertainment, she enjoyed VIP treatment, with Mo Xiangwan's secretary and the group's vice president by her side.
Several big stars she encountered on the street all had to greet her first.
"You should already know about the management training, right? Feel free to offer any opinions or ideas; it's ultimately up to you."
"Yes, it's fine as it is for now, I have no objections." Wen Ruan nodded Wen Ruan. "Thank you President Mo, for your trouble."
She originally thought that the management training Tang Song mentioned meant that she should take some kind of MBA course.
Unexpectedly, it was a customized program, with Tang Zong Entertainment inviting senior consultants and industry elites to provide her with one-on-one instruction.
There will even be exchange activities with well-known entrepreneurs.
These people have extensive practical experience, and they will share real-world cases and insights from their experiences in corporate management, allowing her to gain a more intuitive understanding of various problems and solutions in management practice.
That's so thoughtful!
The two chatted warmly for a while.
Mo Xiangwan's assistant quickly walked up and Whisper a few words in her ear.
A moment later.
Mo Xiangwan said in a low voice, "Wen Ruan, Su Yu is going back to Magic City tonight, she should see you soon."
Her Wen Ruan eyes trembled slightly, and she took a deep breath, saying, "Okay, I understand."
What was bound to happen was bound to happen, but fortunately, she had been mentally prepared for a long time and was no longer as panicked as before.
8 PM, Jing County.
Emerald Street is a market that has been around for a long time.
Located near the city center, the surrounding area has a strong local atmosphere.
When Tang Song was a child, his parents would bring him to this market whenever they had some money or during festivals.
Clothes, bags, snacks, restaurants, electronics...
It can be said that it represents the youthful memories of his parents' generation.
As times progressed, large shopping malls, shopping centers, and Pedestrian Street gradually sprang up in the surrounding area, and this place gradually declined.
However, in recent years, the "Internet Celebrity trend" has emerged across the country.
The government then redesigned and renovated the area, cleverly blending tradition and modernity, focusing on Internet Celebrity food and handicrafts, and promoting it on short video platforms such as Douyin).
Now it has been completely Makeover and has become one of the few Internet Celebrity tourist destinations in Jing County.
Because the afternoon's multiplayer basketball game was too intense, Zhao Yachian and Lin Mu Xue had to come to the mall to buy a new set of clothes.
Seeing the two of them so excited, Tang Song simply ran out onto the old street by himself.
He's not afraid to accompany girls shopping for clothes; he can even offer suggestions.
However, what they want to buy is lingerie, and it might even be something fun.
Tang Song were, after all, respectable people, so naturally they had to avoid it.
Night falls and the City Lights Coming On on.
Emerald Street is bursting with vitality, surrounded by flashing neon lights and throngs of people.
Stinky tofu, Internet Celebrity pocket bread, Rice Noodle Roll...
The shouts of the stall owners and the laughter of the customers filled the air.
Occasionally, you can see people riding electric bikes or bicycles struggling to get through the area, shouting "Make way!"
Seeing some middle school-aged boys and girls strolling, eating, and laughing together, Tang Song's gaze became slightly unfocused.
When he was in high school, whenever the school had a "break," he would bring Liu Qingning here to go shopping.
However, Emerald Street back then was not nearly as bustling as it is now, and the students there were not as wealthy as they are today.
We couldn't bear to eat the 5-yuan Roujiamo), so we each got a 2-yuan egg roujiamo (egg hamburger), poured some meat gravy on it, and ate it with liangpi (cold skin noodles) in chili oil. It was especially delicious.
As his thoughts gradually returned, Tang Song smiled, took a picture of the bustling street, and shared it with Liu Qingning.
He left a message saying, "I'll bring you next time."
Putting away his Mobile Phone, Tang Song began to stroll along this old street.
As I passed by a barbecue stall shrouded in smoke, I happened to see the sweet potato noodles that Zhao Yachian liked.
Tang Song stopped in his tracks and stood in front of the stall, saying, "Boss, give me 5 skewers of lamb, 3 skewers of roasted sweet potato skin, and 3 Grilled Gluten."
"Okay, that'll be 38 yuan in total. Here's the code." The owner replied, took the skewered food, and placed it on the grill.
Tang Song nodded, took out his Mobile Phone to scan the QR code and pay, "It's over."
Just then, a boy standing next to him suddenly leaned closer, looked at his face, and hesitated before asking, "Are you Tang... Tang Song?"
Hearing his name and the familiar voice, Tang Song's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and said, "Shen Hang, it's you! Long time no see."
The reason I remember it so clearly is because Shen Hang. appeared many times in my memories of 2016.
We were friends during Tang Song's high school years, and we often played ball together.
He was also present when the pink headphones were found.
Compared to his high school days, Shen Hang has gained a lot of weight, and his face is much rounder now.
However, you can still immediately recognize the person by their facial features and voice.
"Holy crap, it really is you!" Shen Hang's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, you're so handsome now, even more energetic than in high school."
Although Tang Song wore ordinary T-shirts and jeans, his physique and temperament were undeniable.
It's very attractive at first glance.
Compared to the image Shen Hang had of him, Tang Song is now much more mature and confident.
The two chatted for a few moments about their high school life.
Shen Hang asked curiously, "By the way, I heard from Sun Jiayue that Liu Qingning is doing incredibly well now, is that true?"
"Yes, that's great. She's now working in Shencheng and has started an AI-related education company with her alumni."
"Awesome! No wonder she's a top student!" Shen Hang exclaimed with admiration. "Liu Qingning is probably the most successful student in our class right now, right? Sun Jiayue is pretty good too, they're all very capable."
Tang Song smiled and teased, "I remember you liked Sun Jiayue, right? You even wrote her love letters and sang songs to express your feelings, and you've kept in touch ever since?"
During high school, Liu Qingning also had many good friends, such as her roommate Sun Jiayue.
The other person also had excellent grades and studied Magic City University of Finance in Shanghai.
After graduation, I heard that I joined a financial company. I think Liu Qingning mentioned that I worked in the Fundraising Department.
"No, no, no!" Shen Hang hurriedly shook his head. "That's all ancient history from high school. After she got into Magic City University of Finance, I stopped bothering her. We're not even WeChat friends anymore. I know my place. Besides, I have a girlfriend now."
"Handsome, your skewers are ready." A rich aroma filled the air as the barbecue stall owner handed over a paper bag.
Tang Song thanked him and reached out to take it.
Shen Hang pointed to a Milk Tea shop by the roadside and said, "By the way, this is my Milk Tea shop. Come on, let me buy you a cup!"
"Okay." Tang Song nodded with a smile.
The Milk Tea shop is not very big, only about 20 square meters.
On the left is the counter and beverage preparation area, and on the right is the customer waiting area, with two sets of small tables and chairs.
Because it's rush hour, there are quite a few customers standing in the store.
Inside the counter, three girls were busy working.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Um... the signature Milk Tea is fine, with coconut jelly and tapioca pearls."
"Okay." Shen Hang gave an OK sign and walked over to the counter.
He handed the Grilled Gluten to one of the girls, whispered a few words to her, and then started making it himself.
I waited for a short while.
Shen Hang returned with a cup of Milk Tea. "Here, try it and see how it tastes."
Tang Song inserted a straw, took a sip, and gave a thumbs up. "Very good, the sweetness is just right."
"Hehe, it's mainly because the ingredients are good. In a neighborhood like this, you can't survive if the food isn't good." Shen Hang pointed to a girl eating Grilled Gluten behind the counter, a little smugly saying, "That's my girlfriend. She's just turned 21 this year, studying at Spring City College. We met while she was working part-time here during the summer. What do you think? Pretty, right?"
Tang Song raised his head and carefully examined it for a few moments.
She has a Jingjing appearance, wears round-framed glasses, and exudes a strong student vibe and youthful energy.
"Wow, Shen Hang is great. She's a beautiful female college student. You're so lucky."
Having seen so many beautiful women, Tang Song didn't really feel anything special, but he still gave her a few compliments.
Shen Hang's smile grew even brighter as he leaned closer to him and whispered, "Dating young girls is great; I feel like my mindset has become younger. Plus, girls at school aren't as materialistic, and their feelings are purer..."
Then, Shen Hang began to talk at length about his experience.
Tang Song didn't interrupt him. He took out a skewer of grilled meat from the paper bag, sipped his Milk Tea, and listened quietly.
He had just emerged from the memories of 2016 and still had a deep impression of Shen Hang and Sun Jiayue.
Seeing an old classmate and learning about their current situation at this moment inevitably brings a sense of emotion.
After chatting for a while, the two exchanged contact information and became WeChat friends.
Seeing the increasing number of customers in the store.
Tang Song stood up and said, "I won't disturb your business. Let's keep in touch. Let me know when you arrive in Yancheng, and I'll make sure you're taken care of."
"Alright, that's settled then." Shen Hang patted his arm hard, feeling a bit emotional as he looked at his old classmate whom he hadn't seen for many years.
He studied at a university in another province and returned to his hometown to develop his career after graduation.
It's true that I haven't seen Tang and Tang Song for seven years.
Just then.
"Ding ding ding~" The voice call rings.
Tang Song glanced at his Mobile Phone, answered the call, and said softly, "Hey, Qianqian, are you guys done shopping?"
"I'm at..." Tang Song glanced at the shop's logo and continued, "I'm at the Ice Pure Tea Drink on the north side of the road, not far from you."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door. Bye-bye."
Hang up the call.
Shen Hang joked, "Qianqian? That sounds like a girl's name. Could she be your girlfriend?"
Tang Song chuckled and nodded, "Yes, that's true."
"Sure, I thought you were still waiting for Liu Qingning."
Tang Song blinked and said jokingly, "Hehe, Qing Ning, maybe you'll be my girlfriend next time we meet."
Shen Hang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Damn, you're really something! If you're so capable, say it in front of your girlfriend."
The two walked out of the Milk Tea shop chatting and laughing.
Tang Song stood on the steps and looked towards the east side of the long street. He immediately spotted Zhao Yachian and Lin Mu Xue in the crowd.
Both women, Tall and Long Legs and elegantly dressed in modern attire, walked arm in arm along the old streets of the county town, exuding a strong sense of modernity, making them extremely eye-catching.
The surging crowd automatically parted to avoid them, and all sorts of complicated gazes were directed at them.
Shen Hang nudged Tang Song with his shoulder and pointed at the two of them excitedly, saying, "Look, those two girls are really amazing, especially the one on the left, my god, her legs are so long!"
The one on the right is pretty good too! Look at her demeanor and appearance, she looks like a female star from a Korean drama!
Wow, I've been running my shop here for over a year, and this is the first time I've seen something this beautiful!
"It really is beautiful." Tang Song nodded in agreement.
"Sigh!" Shen Hang said sourly, "I really wonder who girls like that end up marrying!"
Just as they finished complaining, they saw two beautiful women walking straight towards them.
Shen Hang quickly pulled Tang Song aside, excitedly saying, "These two girls are coming to patronize my Milk Tea shop!"
Seeing his appearance, Tang Song couldn't help but chuckle and stepped down the stairs.
Shen Hang was stunned for a moment, about to say something.
Two girls quickly walked over to greet them.
The girl with the super long legs pounced on him and gave him a hug.
The other girl stood obediently to the side, and after the two separated, she took the paper bag and Milk Tea from Tang Song's hands.
"Wow, there are roasted sweet potato skins! Thank you, brother!"
"This Milk Tea is pretty good too. It's from a shop owned by my classmate. I'll give it a try."
Immediately afterwards, the two girls took turns drinking the half-finished Milk Tea from Tang Song.
Tang Song turned around, waved, and said, "Goodbye, Shen Hang, I'm leaving now."
"Bye-bye." Shen Hang stared blankly as the three of them merged into the long street.
Two tall, sexy girls sandwiched Tang Song in the middle.
One was holding a skewer of grilled meat, and the other was holding Milk Tea; they were feeding each other.
Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Shen Hang's head was buzzing.
Wow! We're both from Jing County No. 1 High School, but how come you're so outstanding, old classmate!
The brightly lit street stretched as far as the eye could see.
A bustling crowd passed by them.
Feeling the rising warmth of everyday life all around, and looking at Zhao Yachian and Lin Mu Xue beside him.
Tang Song smiled, reveling in the warmth and happiness of the moment.
"Buzzing—"
"Buzzing—"
My Mobile Phone suddenly vibrated several times in my pocket.
Tang Song took it out and glanced at it, then his smile froze.
My heart, which had just been smug, suddenly jumped.
