?Chapter 433: Chapter 254 Anne Kate_2 Chapter 433: Chapter 254 Anne Kate_2 “Here, have another bite!”
“You should eat too, food tastes better when you compete for it.”
The two of them took turns nibbling at the food, leisurely savoring it.
They chatted about the topics related to Su Yu’s concert from time to time.
Although Tang Song seriously claimed that Su Yu was his girlfriend, it was quite obvious that Yao Lingling and Li Shumin didn’t believe him.
The likelihood of that was about the same as winning the lottery upon stepping outside, followed by getting hit by a meteorite.
Simply impossible.
A flash of light streaked by, and immediately after, the dull rumble of thunder rolled in.
“Pitter-patter, pitter-patter—” large raindrops began to fall.
The two quickly sought refuge under the large umbrella beside the food stall.
“Oh no, it’s started raining so soon.” Yao Lingling looked at the increasing downpour outside and then at the handsome senior beside her, her face flushing as she said, “Well then, let’s take shelter from the rain here for a bit.”
“Sure, no rush to leave anyway.” Tang Song fed the last piece of the grilled cold noodles to Yao Lingling and asked, “By the way, Lingling, how is Jiahong doing at work recently? Is everything going smoothly?”
By now he had already become a director at Huashang Clothing and had been getting acquainted with the company’s operations and business.
Helping a well-connected junior get a good job also seemed like the right thing to do.
“It’s going okay, I guess. Although the company is a bit out of the way and small, it’s still quite formal. Right now, Jiahong is not only doing her job but also studying hard every night. She’s living very fulfilling days.”
Tang Song pondered for a moment and said, “Later on, you can ask her if she plans to change jobs. I can introduce her to a job in fashion design.”
Yao Lingling was startled, then quickly nodded and said, “Okay, thank you, senior.”
From the moment Tang Song produced two precious invitations today, she realized that this senior was more capable than she had imagined.
…
The June wind carried the rainwater, encroaching on the space under the umbrella.
They stood very close.
They talked about today’s 618 shopping event and about the fun incidents at Yan City University of Science and Technology.
Yao Lingling could clearly feel Tang Song’s presence.
“Whoosh—”
The lights became blurred in the rainy haze.
It seemed as if only the two of them were left in the world.
He had transformed himself step by step, through self-discipline and upwards striving, into his current form.
He was talented in many things, from sketching to painting to fashion design—even better than herself.
He was gentle and refreshing; she felt no heaviness or pressure coming from him.
Being with him, it seemed like they always got each other’s points, very in sync.
Looking at the sharp-nosed, thin-lipped senior in the night, Yao Lingling’s gaze became somewhat hazy.
Thank you for being so splendid and radiant, becoming a star in my mundane years.
She let out a soft sigh and looked towards the “drip-dripping” rain ahead.
It’s a pity this rain is so brief!
…
June 19, 2023, Monday, from moderate rain to cloudy, 21~27°C.
Early in the morning, the sky was dim.
Raindrops rhythmically tapped against the window, making a crisp and rhythmic sound, very conducive to sleep.
When Tang Song opened his eyes, it was already 6:30 in the morning.
He sat up and stretched, feeling instantly refreshed and full of vigor.
He stepped out of bed barefoot and pulled open the curtains of the main bedroom’s balcony.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the entire world seemed to be shrouded in a hazy curtain of water.
The tall buildings in the distance became blurred in the rain, leaving only their rough outlines.
Tang Song spaced out for a while and then sat down in a wicker chair on the balcony.
He turned on the action camera beside him.
He placed the sketchpad on his lap and casually held the pencil.
The sound of “sh-sh-sh” friction arose.
Soon, a fresh and ethereal face appeared on the paper.
The lines were smooth, the contours refined; her sparkling eyes and prominent nose seemed to gaze at the observer.
She faced the viewer calmly, with a slight and almost imperceptible smile on her lips, looking mysterious and noble.
It was her latest promotional poster photo.
He turned off the action camera.
Tang Song lifted the paper up, against the rainy mist outside the window.
Su Yu, Su Yu.
She was to arrive in Yan City this afternoon.
For the first time, I’d be meeting face-to-face with this [female star] I’ve known for 6 years and personally cultivated.
How should I behave when I’m with you?
His finger gently traced her upturned lips, and Tang Song made the same motion on his face.
“Ding! Congratulations, Player, the Halo effect has been activated, you’ve triggered an extra critical hit reward.”
“Ding! You have obtained a special item [Intermediate Body Optimization Potion*1].”
Hearing the two successive notification sounds, Tang Song’s expression briefly stiffened, then a look of excitement spread across his face.
He had triggered an extra reward!
It had been over a month since the last time he’d triggered it.
He finally hit the 2% chance.
He took a deep breath, and his powerful cardiopulmonary function quickly calmed him down.
He entered the system inventory, and there lay a potion bottle twinkling with an orange glow quietly.
He checked the item details.
[Intermediate Body Optimization Potion]: Use to gradually optimize the body, improve strength distribution, slightly adjust the skeleton, enhance body flexibility, relieve muscle tension, increase coordination, and to some extent improve the Basic Metabolic Rate (Endurance+1, Agility+1).
“Nice!” Tang Song couldn’t help but blurt out, his face showing excitement.
This kind of permanent, comprehensive body optimization item was a real treasure in the game.
He had been lucky enough to get a [Basic Body Optimization Potion] only when he had triggered the first challenge mission.
He had grown two centimeters taller immediately.
Compared to that, the [Intermediate Body Optimization Potion] put more emphasis on synergistic optimization of muscles, bones, joints, and connective tissue, and it even came with an attribute reward.
Although Tang Song was deliberately training his posture and correcting his attitude, it was difficult to change the muscle memory formed over a long period of time.
