Chapter 359

"Hey, Tang Song, are you okay?" Liu Qingning's hand waved in front of him, and she pinched his cheek again.

"Uh..." Tang Song shuddered suddenly, his thoughts gradually returning, "What's wrong?"

"You were just staring at the headset in a daze, it's been almost half a minute, like you were asleep, are you too tired from studying lately?"

Tang Song blinked blankly, embarrassed: "Maybe a little."

Just now, looking at the headset, he didn't know why he was distracted, maybe he was really too tired.

Since June 6, 2015, when Liu Qingning wrote him that letter of "meeting at the peak," he had put away all kinds of messy thoughts.

Every day he buried himself in the sea of learning, constantly working hard, constantly learning, constantly catching up.

His academic performance also began to advance by leaps and bounds.

Currently, there are 4 months left in the sprint period before the college entrance examination, and he wants to try to see if he can get into the Imperial Capital.

Because he knows that Liu Qingning has wanted to go to the Imperial Capital University since she was a child, and with her grades, it is basically a sure thing.

University is not as hard as high school, where every day is just studying.

If he can go to the Imperial Capital with her, then he can be like described in the novels, and have many romantic stories with her.

For the 18-year-old Tang Song.

Things like work, money, houses, etc., are all ethereal things, he has no concept at all, and has never considered where he will go in the future.

The only thing that can give him persistent motivation is Liu Qingning.

Hormones and the cerebral cortex reacted violently, and the palpitating love diffused through his entire youth.

Looking at Tang Song, who was distracted again, Liu Qingning bit her cherry lips and whispered: "After dinner, shall we go for a walk on the playground together?"

"Yeah, okay!" Tang Song smiled instantly, "I'll go write a lost and found notice and post it on the school bulletin board, to see who has such a tacit understanding with me, and actually bought the same headset."

The afternoon class was long and boring, Tang Song tried to cheer up and let himself devote himself to it.

Just after the New Year, it hasn't officially started yet.

However, as third-year students, they can only be forced to end the vacation early and return to school to study.

17:40.

"Ding ding ding~~ Dong~~" The pleasant bell for the end of class rang.

The classroom, which originally only had the sound of turning books and writing, instantly became lively.

Students surged out of the classroom like a tide, rushing toward the cafeteria.

The sun had gradually set, and the brilliant sunset dyed the sky red.

The whole campus was covered with a dreamlike veil.

Tang Song held a palm-sized vocabulary book in his hand, slightly lowered his head and looked sideways, admiring Liu Qingning's beautiful side face at close range, with a joyful smile on the corner of his mouth.

As a top student at Jingxian First Middle School, plus her outstanding appearance and figure, Liu Qingning belongs to the kind that attracts attention in the school.

No matter where she is, there is no lack of gazes of attention and longing.

But the only boy who can walk side by side with her and laugh and play is him in the entire First Middle School.

This special treatment greatly satisfied his vanity.

Followed the crowd into the East Cafeteria.

The noise came rushing toward them.

Liu Qingning said loudly: "Tang Song, you find a place to sit first, I'll go queue for food, don't waste time, hurry up and memorize a few more words!"

"Okay." Tang Song took out his meal card from his pocket and handed it over, "Here, give it to you, use mine."

"Next time, use mine today." Liu Qingning blinked at him and ran toward the window.

The high ponytail behind her jumped, and her whole body was full of youthful vitality and beauty.

Tang Song put away the meal card, took the vocabulary book and walked toward a place with few people.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, dark jeans, and somewhat old sneakers, she was standing in a corner of the cafeteria, slightly lowering her head.

She had neat ear-length short hair, and her bangs were also neat, just like her person.

Tang Song was stunned, stepped forward and waved with a smile: "Hello, Zhang Yan, long time no see, are you here to visit the First Middle School again?"

"Ah..." Zhang Yan raised her head, maybe because of the cold, her cheeks were red, "Tang... Tang Song, good evening. That, our school doesn't start until next Monday, I arrived at school early, and it just happened that there was nothing to do, so I came to the First Middle School to find a classmate to play."

"Students at the Second Middle School are really happy, they can have an extra week of vacation."

"It's okay." Zhang Yan nodded gently, her gaze looking at Tang Song's chest, "By the way Tang Song, how many points did you get in your last mock exam?"

Tang Song said with a full face of smiles: "560 points, the best one."

"Really amazing."

In Jingxian, excellent students are all snatched away by the First Middle School, and the overall grades at the Second Middle School are more than one grade worse.

"Oh my, there are more and more people, I'll go occupy a seat first, bye~" Tang Song pointed inside the cafeteria with a smile.

"That..." Zhang Yan's lips mumbled.

Tang Song stopped his footsteps, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, bye." Zhang Yan lowered her head and buried her mouth and nose into the collar of her cotton-padded jacket.

Tang Song waved his hand and strode toward an empty seat.

While waiting for Liu Qingning, he glanced at Zhang Yan's position again, the friend she was waiting for seemed to be late and never came.

The second semester of the third year is coming soon, the college entrance examination has entered the countdown stage, and everyone has entered a state of combat readiness.

Perhaps this is the last time Zhang Yan has time to find a friend at the First Middle School to play.

There are more and more people in the cafeteria, and her figure is gradually submerged.

During the meal, Liu Qingning didn't waste time either.

From time to time, she would ask some key words, and when she encountered something he didn't know, she would analyze it in detail through phrases and roots to deepen his understanding.

As a top student, Liu Qingning's memory, understanding, and expression skills are all extremely strong, and she has her own set of learning methods.

Tang Song even felt that she explained better than the teacher, of course, this does not exclude the reason for the filter.

After eating.

The two walked along the flat road to the school playground.

The night was like ink, and the cold wind blew in their faces.

A few street lamps cast dim halos, appearing warm and quiet.

There were very few people on the playground.

They walked slowly along the plastic track with their hands in their pockets.

Tang Song had a flying smile on his face, talking about the interesting things that happened in the boys' dormitory, occasionally adding a funny joke, self-deprecating a few words, making Liu Qingning laugh for a while.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Just like that, they finished two laps.

"Tang Song." Liu Qingning called him, turned her head, and sprayed faint white mist from her mouth, "Have you ever thought about what kind of life you will live in the future? What kind of work will you do? What kind of house will you live in?"

Tang Song was stunned, and said stutteringly: "I... I haven't thought too much, now I just want to work hard to get into a better university, and find a job that can make money in the future."

"I understand what you mean." Liu Qingning pursed her small, ruddy lips, and suddenly put her left hand into his pocket, holding his big hand tightly.

The delicate and warm touch, accompanied by the scent of shampoo on her body, made Tang Song blush and his heart beat faster.

Although this is not the first time the two have held hands, he is still very excited.

Especially the feeling of two hands in one pocket, holding tightly, is really wonderful.

Liu Qingning moved her position and got closer to him.

As she walked, she said in a crisp voice: "Economic base determines the superstructure, which is actually applicable in many places.

If the foundation is not solid, how can the superstructure be stable?

We cannot live without material things, and many things cannot stand the test of reality.

For example... feelings, I think, only when the economy is relatively free, will it become pure, safe, and full.

Otherwise, firewood, rice, oil, salt, and trivial matters of life will really gradually wear away each other's warmth, just like my parents.

Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that I have to take the college entrance examination, they would probably have divorced. You should be able to understand what I said, right?"

Tang Song's lips moved, and the expression on his face was a bit low.

He could roughly understand what Liu Qingning said, and he also understood her worries.

Both of them are small-town youths, and their family situation is very ordinary.

Liu Qingning's family situation is better than his, her father is a small accountant at a coal mine, and although he has been transferred to the county town now, his salary is still not high.

The family of three is squeezed into an old, broken, small house of more than 50 square meters, and the parents often quarrel over various trivial matters, and have even fought many times.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this." Liu Qingning showed a bright smile on her face, "We are really still very young at 18, possessing an infinitely broad future and possibilities.

We will be better than our parents, struggle in big cities, buy houses, settle down, and earn a lot, a lot of money.

We don't have to carefully calculate how much living expenses are left this month, we don't have to be frugal to buy gifts...

We will have our own happiness.

Tang Song! Am I right!?"

"Right!" Tang Song nodded hard, and under her energetic description, his eyes regained their luster.

"Good!" Liu Qingning patted his broad shoulder and walked a few steps to his front.

After looking at him, she blinked playfully at him, and said with a smile: "Such a smart and handsome young man will definitely have a bright future, I am very optimistic about you, don't let me down! Come on!"

Bright moonlight fell on her, and the dense bangs on her forehead swayed gently with the evening wind,

Her clear eyes shone with light, just like the brightest stars in the night sky.

A strong palpitation surged in Tang Song's heart, and he deeply imprinted this scene in his mind.

8:00 PM, during the evening self-study class.

Tang Song rubbed his somewhat swollen forehead, looked at Liu Qingning's back, took out an mp3 from the drawer, and then took out the HiFi headset he picked up in the afternoon, and plugged it in.

Half a day has passed, and still no one has come to claim the headset.

Might as well use it himself first, after all, the sound quality of this headset is really great, and it is very suitable for practicing listening.

"Welcome to this English listening comprehension test. Now......"

Clear English listening content came from the headset, and Tang Song sat upright and listened carefully.

Just finished listening to a small section.

A burst of violent sleepiness suddenly rushed to his head, and his eyes became sleepy and dull.

He yawned a long yawn.

Tang Song folded his hands and lay quietly on the desk.

He had a clear and unique dream.

In the dream, he was admitted to the computer major of Yancheng University of Technology.

During the National Day holiday of his junior year, he went to the Imperial Capital University and walked hand in hand with Liu Qingning by the Weiming Lake.

Looking at the youthful and beautiful white moonlight beside him.

He was excited for a moment, hugged her directly and kissed her.

Liu Qingning did not refuse, just closed her eyes quietly and shyly.

Because it was his first kiss, Tang Song just blankly blocked her mouth, looking at her red cheeks, not daring to move.

"Uh..." With a low moan, Tang Song slowly woke up from his sleep.

Looking at the quiet classroom around him, recalling the dream just now, he only felt a burst of heat on his face.

However, the feeling of kissing her is really beautiful.

Shaking his head, Tang Song suppressed his restless heart.

Re-opened the listening test and started practicing.

After a while, his vision blurred again, and he lowered his head and fell into a deep sleep.

Another clear dream.

After graduating from university, he went to work at an ordinary internet company in the Imperial Capital, with a monthly salary of 10k after becoming a regular employee.

Liu Qingning successfully entered a top big factory, engaged in artificial intelligence development, with an annual salary of 50W.

In Liu Qingning's rental house, he pushed her onto the bed and had intimate physical contact with her.

Although it didn't go too deep, he was very satisfied.

The sound of pen tips rubbing against paper came to his ears, and Tang Song woke up from the dream again.

What's going on today? Why do I get sleepy as soon as I listen to English listening? And they are all wet dreams.

Recalling the full touch in the dream, as well as Liu Qingning's alluring figure, Tang Song only felt dry mouth and tongue, and his whole body was on fire.

Looked at the white moonlight who was listening to music and doing problems.

Tang Song took a deep breath and re-opened the English listening.

Sleep again!

Maybe I can have further communication!

Soon, the dream descended.

After settling in the Imperial Capital, their work and life became busy and complicated.

After working for half a year, the company suddenly went bankrupt.

Under Liu Qingning's introduction, he joined a large enterprise doing internet finance, the technical director was a senior of hers, who gave Tang Song a lot of care and cultivation.

One year later.

A certain functional module he was responsible for had a serious bug, which brought economic losses to the company, and he was laid off.

The employment situation was very bad, plus he was dismissed because of his mistakes, and could not withstand the background check of big companies.

Tang Song could not find a suitable job for a long time.

And because his mother owed a lot of money due to illness before, he had been helping his family pay back the money, so he had no savings.

The living expenses basically relied on Liu Qingning.

Liu Qingning didn't have any complaints, just told him not to worry, with her salary, she could fully let the two live very well.

He just needed to find a stable job, he didn't need to earn too much money.

Although Liu Qingning's classmates and friends didn't say it on the surface, their attitude toward him was not very good.

3 years after graduation.

Liu Qingning had a stable annual salary of 60W, and also received the company's option incentives.

Tang Song was in a very ordinary internet company, earning a monthly salary of 15k.

Friends, circles, topics...

The gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.

? ￠O

Because of Tang Song's sensitivity and inferiority, quarrels and friction began to appear between them.

Long-term high-intensity work, overtime, plus the stimulation of feelings, Liu Qingning became seriously ill.

Outside the hospital ward, Liu Qingning's mother was very excited, persuading him to let her daughter go.

They are not suitable, he cannot give her the life she wants, and instead has to let her daughter worry about taking care of him.

Tang Song was guilty and painful, feeling like a parasite.

Afterwards, he left the Imperial Capital and left Liu Qingning.

Found a job that was passable in Yancheng and settled down.

He and Liu Qingning always kept in close contact, her work was still busy, and she didn't talk about a partner again.

At the age of 30.

Liu Qingning had an annual salary of one million, bought her own house in the Imperial Capital, 120 square meters, three bedrooms and two living rooms, and also got the Imperial Capital household registration.

He was laid off by the company in Yancheng, and because of age problems, finding a job became more difficult.

Liu Qingning asked him to return to the Imperial Capital to develop, and relying on her own connections, helped him find a decent job with generous treatment.

Because of inferiority and escapism, Tang Song finally refused.

One night, his mother called and wanted to introduce him to a blind date.

The girl was his junior high school classmate, named Zhang Yan.

She just passed the public institution exam in Yancheng this year, and her work is stable.

Thinking of the white moonlight, thinking of his current awkward situation, Tang Song refused this blind date.

He was afraid that his former junior high school desk mate would see his terrible appearance.

Waking up from the dream again, Tang Song's mood became incomparably low.

Tears blurred his eyes unknowingly.

Three dreams, just passed more than ten minutes.

Looking back now, many details have become blurred, but some insights have been deeply left in his heart.

He also understood some of the words Liu Qingning said when walking.

She is really smart, very rational, far more mature than his current self.

If he doesn't make changes, I'm afraid the future will really be as bad as in the dream.

But how to make changes to avoid such a future?

A deep sense of powerlessness and fear surged in his heart.

Tang Song grabbed his hair hard.

If only I could become as excellent as Qingning, or better than her!

This way, in the future, he can walk hand in hand with her and help her shield from the wind and rain.

But he also knows that this is dreaming, it's impossible at all.

The gap in talent is something he cannot change no matter what.

Immediately after, his expression was stunned, and he suddenly discovered that the pink headset he was wearing had disappeared.

He clearly remembered that it was still hanging on his ears when he woke up, and it was even playing English listening.

How did it disappear out of thin air in a daze!

Just at this time, a prompt sound suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! You have obtained the 【Dream System】."

Immediately after, a gorgeous system interface appeared before his eyes.

Lines of text jumped out.

【"I" crossed dimensions in my sleep, observed a blurry future, "I" am full of confusion and fear about the future, "I" urgently want to improve myself, "I" want to let life have no regrets】

【"I" linked to the future self through the dream】

At the same time, there was a lot of information in his mind that was difficult to describe and understand, these information were too complex and chaotic, making his head dizzy and his thinking dull.

【To avoid emotional dominance and information overload, "I" will temporarily fall into a dream, blur my memory, and ignore unnecessary content】

【When the overloaded information is processed, "I" will wake up from the dream and gradually retrieve these memories】

Immediately, Tang Song fell into a magical state.

It seems to be in a half-awake dream.

He in the dream is very powerful, and has a somewhat unreal sense of illusion.

It's like the him he imagined, the ideal him.

His heart is exceptionally calm, no longer controlled by negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, and anger.

His mind is clear, his spirit is high, he is confident and calm, and his thinking is agile.

His inspiration is bursting, full of infinite imagination, insight, and judgment.

That information that was difficult to describe and understand was instantly absorbed and mastered by him.

He knew the trend of stocks and futures in the next few years, knew the next industrial trend, knew which companies would become unicorns, knew which movies, songs, and artists would be popular in the future...

He in a special state quickly accepted the status quo.

Also clearly knew that his life would be completely reversed.

His future will definitely not be as failed as seen in the dream.

Tang Song began to explore this suddenly appeared 【Dream System】 with great interest, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

It's like a complex game interface, with all kinds of magical functions.

Can interact with reality, help oneself better manage business, assets, talent, information, etc.

Simply explored the system functions.

The crisp prompt sound sounded again: "Ding! You have obtained the 【Guidance Gift Pack】."

Immediately after, a golden gift pack jumped out.

Open immediately.

"Ding! You have obtained the item 【Dream Character Recruitment Card (UR)】."

【Dream Character Recruitment Card (UR)】: Extremely rare character recruitment card, after use, according to your wishes, will recruit a top talent with the highest matching degree, become a system character, obtain TA's initial favorability and loyalty, and establish an effective dream link with TA, helping you better control and understand the character.

Tang Song did not hesitate, immediately used the item.

Entered his wishes for this character.

Since it is the person with the highest matching degree, it is naturally the more ideal the better.

In many aspects, he directly copied Liu Qingning's character design.

At the same time, added requirements for ability, wealth, and connections.

He is still a student now, although he knows a lot of future information, it is not easy to get the first pot of gold.

Then simply let this character herself have strong money-making ability, possess a certain level of wealth and connection resources.

This way he can skip the early accumulation stage and quickly get on the right track.

And he knows very well that his current state is very special.

To avoid emotional dominance and information overload, the real him fell into a dream.

The current him is equivalent to the top-spec "Tang Song" he imagined in his dream.

The "future information" he mastered is up to April 1, 2023.

When he digests this "future information" and wakes up from the dream, he will become that ordinary "Tang Song" again.

Many of his experiences will be like dreaming, becoming blurred in memory, and even forgetting some key content.

The current him is not suitable for coming to the front desk, it is best to be able to cash in the future information he mastered through training and controlling characters, and completely change his life trajectory.

At the same time, also be prepared to complete the layout before 2023.

Besides business and assets, also let those characters be mentally prepared, don't be surprised because of his changes.

This way even if he wakes up from the dream on April 2, 2023, there will be no big problems.

Took a deep breath, click confirm.

"Ding! 【Dream Character Recruitment Card】 used successfully."

【Character matching...】

【Locked】

【Congratulations, successfully recruited UR-level talent "Secretary Jin"】

Immediately after, an exquisite character card appeared on the system interface.

Beautiful appearance, noble and elegant temperament, golden ratio figure, big chest, thin waist, perky butt, long legs, extremely good skin...

Of course, the most impressive thing is still her eyes.

Fresh and energetic, bright and deep.

This is a near-perfect woman, and also the most ideal character Tang Song imagined.
