Chapter 290: It

Wednesday, July 5, 2023, sunny turning cloudy, 25–40°C.

At 6:00 AM, an excellent biological clock woke Tang Song.

Borrowing the faint morning light in the room, Tang Song pulled his arm out from under the beautician.

He climbed out of bed with great care.

After a night of rest, bolstered by the 【Male God Aura (LV4)】, all his bodily functions had fully recovered.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that after receiving the blessing buff from Wen Ruan, he woke up in a pleasant mood every morning.

This was likely the endocrine changes brought about by metabolic optimization.

His brain automatically secreted neurotransmitters like endorphins, relieving stress and improving his mood.

This feeling of genuine inner joy was truly fantastic.

Sure enough, the body is the foundation of everything.

The only difficult part was his kidneys; the beautician, having acquired 【Silver-Tongued】, had displayed quite the flair on the court.

Considering that the big sister with amazing stamina was still waiting for his irrigation,

Tang Song dared not slack off.

He changed into 【Infinite Vitality】 sportswear in the walk-in closet and took the elevator to the ground floor.

Stepping out of the entrance, the morning breeze brushed against him, bringing a hint of coolness.

The soft sunlight spilled over the earth, and the air was filled with the scent of flowers and grass.

The horizon still held faint traces of morning glow, presenting a mixture of pink, orange, and purple hues.

The garden-style landscaping made the morning at Yanjing Huating full of life.

As he began to exercise and the outfit took effect, his body was instantly filled with power; it felt great.

His muscles gradually relaxed, and his joints became flexible.

…

Building 1, Large Open-Plan Apartment, 15th Floor.

"Zzzzt—"

"Whoosh—"

After finishing in the bathroom and being sprayed clean by the smart toilet, Sorry Xiao Jing yawned, gradually waking up.

She pulled up her pajama pants, stood up, and washed her face.

Pulling back the curtains, the morning sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Sorry Xiao Jing picked up her phone from the bedside table and lay on the swing chair on the balcony, beginning to enjoy a leisurely and comfortable morning.

As a standard rich, beautiful girl,

her daily life was rich and colorful; besides work and manga, there were travels, fashion shows, club activities, fashion parties, art exhibitions…

Recently, she had even started diving with a few girlfriends.

So, during the time Tang Song was away, she didn't feel much of a difference.

In her view, having a boyfriend in this ambiguous phase was a very interesting thing.

Even just chatting and sending photos on WeChat was great fun.

For example, yesterday, while she was in a meeting at work, she sent him a photo of her skirt.

Just thinking about it was exciting.

Opening WeChat to check unread messages, Sorry Xiao Jing clicked into the "Two-Dimensional Goodness" group chat and scrolled up.

She began reading the latest updates from "Big Boss Qingqing."

Recently, many changes and new characters had appeared around Qingqing, making it even more compelling to read.

For instance, the black-bellied yandere rich girl and the green-tea gold-digging female colleague.

Watching Qingqing slap them down in work and life, Sorry Xiao Jing felt incredibly satisfied.

Especially since the male lead was so much like Tang Song, the immersion was even stronger.

Catching up to the latest comments, Sorry Xiao Jing excitedly began typing her thoughts.

Because of Qingqing, the media group she was in was about to be invested in by the capital behind the male lead, and today was the critical DD (Due Diligence) stage.

As an executive at a certain international capital's Greater China region, Qingqing's boyfriend carried significant weight.

However! Qingqing guessed that the green-tea gold-digging female colleague would definitely stir up trouble again, likely leading to another peak showdown.

Looking at the intricate character relationships and the undulating plot, Sorry Xiao Jing had a vague illusion that she was watching a drama.

After chatting for a while, she checked the time.

Sorry Xiao Jing stood up and stretched with a big yawn.

Her gaze swept across the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and then her eyes widened slightly.

Nani! Tang Song?

Blinking her bright, watery eyes, Sorry Xiao Jing looked at the figure running on the small residential track, a look of surprise and joy appearing on her face.

She couldn't possibly misidentify her own boyfriend.

But how could he be at Yanjing Huating?

Could he be deliberately trying to run into her?

But it had been too hot lately, and she hadn't been jogging downstairs.

A sweet smile appeared on Sorry Xiao Jing's face as she hummed a tune and ducked into the walk-in closet.

She soon walked out wearing a simple casual outfit.

She opened the door.

"Jingjing, you're up? Come over and eat." Her mother, Chen Man, sitting in the living room, waved at her.

"No, no, I'm eating out today. Bye, Mom." Sorry Xiao Jing casually brushed her off and ran to the entryway to change her shoes.

Chen Man's eyes lit up, and she said gossiping, "Jingjing! Tell Mom quickly, is it that handsome boyfriend of yours here to see you? Is he downstairs? I want to see the real person!"

As she spoke, she had already stood up and walked toward the door.

"Oh, Mom, why are you so gossipy? I've just started dating, and we haven't reached the stage of meeting the parents yet!" Sorry Xiao Jing hurriedly pushed her mother back with both hands.

The mother and daughter tugged at each other in the living room for a while.

Chen Man tapped her on the head and instructed, "Jingjing, you're dating for the first time. Your father and I aren't stopping you; we want you to gain some relationship experience.

But listen, you're still young, and you have room for trial and error. Tang might not necessarily be the one you end up with.

So, talk about feelings, enjoy the relationship, all that is fine, but you must be cautious about that final step! Don't you dare go getting pregnant on us!"

"Alright! Mom, don't worry, I know everything. I'm leaving now!" Sorry Xiao Jing waved her hand urgently.

"Bang!" The door was closed behind her.

Chen Man smiled and shook her head, sighing softly.

Her daughter had truly grown up; 22-year-old Jingjing had finally started dating.

As a mother, she hoped that her daughter could have a green and beautiful romance.

Regardless of the outcome, she believed Jingjing would gain much growth from this relationship.

Love is complex and beautiful.

Once this relationship is established, Jingjing would have to learn to stand in others' shoes and think about problems.

Patience and tolerance, compromise and concession, emotional management…

She believed that after experiencing this relationship with Tang Song, her daughter's mind would be more mature, constantly perfecting herself.

As for how far the two could go, and to what extent,

she didn't hold high expectations.

This was, after all, Jingjing's first love, and in a family like theirs, there were simply too many things Jingjing would have to face and consider in the future.

Even if she wanted to keep the love pure, it would be very difficult to do so.

Tian Chengye's current total assets were close to one billion.

Although 70% of that came from core corporate equity and couldn't be cashed out,

the real estate, stocks, funds, and insurance under his name also amounted to a massive figure.

Correspondingly, at this level, he was also being targeted by many people with ulterior motives.

The son-in-law Tian Chengye wanted was inevitably a pillar of talent who could support this family business in the future.

Fortunately, her daughter was still young; at 22, she had plenty of room for trial and error.

She could date a few more times, meet more outstanding young people, and finally choose a partner to spend her life with.

They were quite at ease with this daughter of theirs.

After all, Jingjing was smart since she was little.

Although she was a bit addicted to the two-dimensional world, she was definitely a little smart cookie.

From childhood to adulthood, she had had many friends who "appeared and disappeared," all of whom she had actively distanced herself from.

As for what kind of person that boyfriend was, she believed that as long as Jingjing spent a few months with him, she would definitely have a clear idea.

…

"Whew," Tang Song exhaled, gradually slowing his pace.

He took out his phone to check.

10 kilometers run, average pace 3'56".

Now that the 【Intermediate Body Optimization Potion】 had completely worn off, his body's force lines, muscles, and bones had finished adjusting.

Coupled with his powerful cardiopulmonary function, the outfit's bonuses, and the new buff he received from Wen Ruan,

his physical fitness had reached a new peak.

Today, he had deliberately run a 10km at full speed, and the result was his best ever; it was very awesome.

And this still wasn't his limit.

He had still approached it with the mindset of aerobic exercise.

After resting for a while, Tang Song began to pace slowly along the residential track while replying to unread messages on his phone.

"Huff~ huff~" "Thump, thump, thump—"

Heavy footsteps mixed with breathing sounds approached.

A young man wearing gray summer sportswear approached.

"Holy crap! Brother, you're truly fierce! You've been running for so long, and you still have the mind to play on your phone? You aren't from the national team, are you?"

When he started running downstairs, the other guy was already running fast on the track. As a running enthusiast, he subconsciously wanted to compete.

He hadn't expected this guy to be like a mule, as if he had endless energy.

After following for two laps, he was left behind.

The key was that the guy had been running at a steady speed the whole time, and even on this last lap, he showed no signs of slowing down.

"Haha." Tang Song shook his head and smiled, "It's alright, I just love sports."

"You just ran 10 kilometers, right? Can you tell me what your pace was just now?"

Tang Song answered honestly, "Just under 4."

The young man twitched his mouth and gave a thumbs up, "Awesome! You're already a master. The key is that I feel you haven't even tried your best yet.

By the way, do you live in this neighborhood too? Let's get to know each other; my name is Lü Dongfeng, and I'm also a running enthusiast.

My family is in the sports industry, and I started the Dongfeng Sports Club myself. There are quite a few runners there; let's play together sometime."

Lü Dongfeng looked to be about 25 or 26, with short hair and a handsome face, appearing very enthusiastic and open.

Anyone living in Yanjing Huating must have some background.

Besides genuinely appreciating the other person, he also wanted to make a friend.

After locking eyes for a moment, Tang Song laughed dashingly, "Hello, I'm Tang Song. But it's not me; my girlfriend lives here."

"Oh, oh, I see." Hearing this, Lü Dongfeng looked him over with surprise.

Holy crap, with such good stamina and being so handsome, could he be a boy toy kept by some rich auntie?

In his circle, there were quite a few such guys.

The two chatted warmly for a while and casually added each other on WeChat.

It was clear that Lü Dongfeng was indeed a running enthusiast, speaking with great knowledge.

He even analyzed Tang Song's running posture just now, gave him a few small suggestions, and invited him to come play at the club when he had time.

The two walked along the track for a while.

Lü Dongfeng suddenly stopped his gesticulating and stood straight, becoming very serious.

Don't say, he looked quite handsome.

Tang Song looked at him with surprise.

Lü Dongfeng said calmly, "Hey, hey, hey, pay attention to your image; a big beauty is coming over."

Tang Song looked up. In the distance, a striking flash of white entered his vision.

It had been over a week, and Sorry Xiao Jing was still as fresh and sweet as ever.

She didn't have much makeup on, but her skin was super good, white and tender, like a freshly peeled egg white.

Camisole + tight sports shorts, large areas of cold white skin were exposed, shining brightly.

Her full C-cup chest pushed her clothes high up.

She walked toward him like the freshest flower of summer blooming in the center of his vision.

"Isn't she beautiful!"

"Of course she's beautiful." Just kidding, how could my girl not be beautiful!

Seeing Tang Song's straight gaze,

Lü Dongfeng whispered, "Brother, you're lucky. This beauty only comes out for morning exercise occasionally when the weather is cool. You caught it."

"However, if you want to hit on her, you'd better forget it.

Although she looks cute and easy to talk to, she actually has quite a boundary.

I've lived here for over a year and have seen her quite a few times, but no one has ever succeeded."

"Hmm." Tang Song smiled and nodded, naturally clear about Sorry Xiao Jing's way of dealing with the world.

He could tell back at Jinxiu Trading; she seemed to get along with everyone, but always kept a distance.

Interacting with her, one could clearly feel they weren't from the same world.

This was also the reason why many male colleagues liked this company goddess but didn't dare to show it.

If he hadn't obtained the system, he certainly wouldn't have had the chance to have the story that followed with Sorry Xiao Jing.

Lü Dongfeng patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "However, there is another big beauty in this neighborhood of a similar level, a high-achieving professional in the financial industry, especially elegant and intellectual. She's also a fitness enthusiast, and she's easier to talk to; she was even invited to join my sports club. Occasionally, she also participates in club activities. I'll let you know when that happens; you're welcome to come play."

Listening to his description, Tang Song raised his eyebrows.

Why did it feel a bit like Xiao Xue? Could it be her?

"Okay, thanks then."

"Don't mention it, we're all friends." Lü Dongfeng laughed heartily.

As the distance between the two sides closed,

Sorry Xiao Jing, who had been pretending to look down while walking, "inadvertently" looked up, instantly beaming with joy, her bright, watery eyes sparkling with multicolored light.

Beside her, Lü Dongfeng's throat rolled, his eyes about to be blinded.

"Good morning, Sorry Xiao Jing." Tang Song stopped and reached out to greet her, "I didn't expect to run into you here; we really have fate."

"Good morning, Tang Song brother, what a coincidence." Sorry Xiao Jing stood obediently in front of him, her hands clasped tightly in front of her.

The cute, beautiful girl Sorry Xiao Jing, and the gentle, handsome Song with perfect hands.

Look, what a romantic summer morning encounter!

Hearing the two's conversation, Lü Dongfeng stood there blankly, "Uh… you know each other."

"Of course we know each other." Tang Song laughed and opened his arms.

Immediately, the familiar scent of perfume and the soft, slender, innate JK holy body rushed toward him.

Sorry Xiao Jing lightly stood on tiptoe and kissed Tang Song on the cheek.

Her little tongue licked him nonchalantly.

She smacked her lips.

Well, a bit salty; it was the taste of sweat.

However… if it was Tang Song brother, she didn't mind.

Even if it were more excessive fluids, she could accept it.

o(っ°Д°;)っ

Watching the two hugging tightly,

Lü Dongfeng's mouth twitched, his eyes widened sharply, and his throat felt blocked by something, unable to make a sound.

Only his rapid breathing and rising and falling chest showed the turmoil in his heart.

I treated you like a brother, and you're hitting me in the face with this!

Looking at his obedient and cute girlfriend, Tang Song took a deep breath of her fresh scent and lowered his head to capture her lips.

He felt refreshed as he tasted Sorry Xiao Jing's unique flavor.

She must have just brushed her teeth, as her mouth still carried the fresh scent of tea and mint.

Her lips were bouncy.

Kissing her felt like kissing a soft candy, making Tang Song want to bite down hard.

Sorry Xiao Jing was very obedient the whole time, just standing there blankly, looking at him with a red face.

She looked like a cute, dazed beautiful girl from an anime.

The two stood there on the side of the track, on a summer morning, bathing in the morning light, kissing for a long time.

Sorry Xiao Jing's inner monologue: "At that moment, our lips touched, as if the world had stopped turning."

Tang Song's inner monologue: "Sorry Xiao Jing is indeed very different from the big sister and the beautician, but I don't know what it would feel like to kiss her somewhere else."

Lü Dongfeng's inner monologue: "It's clearly a movie for three, yet I never get a name."
