Chapter 417: Xu Qing is fearless!

After reading this message carefully several times, Tang Song's gaze revealed complex emotions.

From this message of over 200 characters, he read a lot of information.

Zhang Yan is currently developing in Yangcheng; her previous landlord had a mental illness, and she had just moved recently.

She has her own circle of friends in Yangcheng, and her life is very busy.

Also, she probably leaves messages on his QQ frequently, and she does so knowing that he cannot see them.

Combined with the 10 years of uninterrupted holiday blessings on the message board, her occasional appearances in his dream memories at the First High School, and the semi-basement in Tiantongyuan.

Tang Song quickly reached a conclusion.

Zhang Yan likes him.

The memories of junior high school are already somewhat blurred for him now.

However, they were deskmates for 3 years after all, so relatively speaking, the impression is still quite deep.

At that time, Zhang Yan was introverted and silent, always keeping her head down, not daring to communicate much with others, and her studies were not good either.

Back then, Tang Song was considered a top student at the small-town junior high, occasionally showing off his knowledge, explaining problems to her, and talking about interesting plots from the anime and novels he had been reading recently.

At ten-something years old, he was childish and "chuunibyou," always laughing and joking, but he unexpectedly became Zhang Yan's best friend in class.

Although he didn't know her family situation, from her clothing and what he heard from people in her village, he understood that her family conditions were very poor.

When Tang Song occasionally bought snacks or breakfast, he would also bring some for this deskmate, using the excuse of having her play Gomoku with him.

For him, junior high school was a time full of vitality, purity, and carefreeness.

It was also the stage where his personality and values were gradually taking shape.

Looking at this message Zhang Yan sent 7 days ago, Tang Song felt as if he saw a line.

A line that had been stretched for 10 years, still connected though seemingly broken.

He didn't know what kind of mindset Zhang Yan had to send him these "unreceivable" messages for such a long time.

But it truly gave him a tremendous shock.

His finger tapped the chat box; Tang Song wanted to type something.

But in the end, she gave up.

Ten years have passed in a flash; from 15 to 25, he has undergone earth-shaking changes.

He is no longer the laughing, green, and sunny teenager Tang Song in Zhang Yan's heart.

And he knows nothing about the current Zhang Yan either.

Perhaps he can log into this secondary account often later to understand her current life.

To see what this former junior high deskmate has become.

"Hoo—"

Tang Song leaned back on the sofa and gently closed his eyes.

There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It turns out that without his knowledge, there was still such a person who had been paying attention to him all along.

However, he had put his heart and soul into Liu Qingning and his studies in high school, and later immersed himself in "dreams," so he indeed overlooked many minor details.

And Zhang Yan was undoubtedly one of those minor details.

Tang Song was dazed for a while, drank some red wine at the bar, picked up the guitar Su Yu had given him, and played random tunes casually.

The night grew deeper, the traffic on the road gradually thinned, and the high-rise buildings in the distance were still brightly lit, like scattered stars, blending with the night sky.

……

September 2, 2023, Saturday, cloudy, 22~30°C.

Beicheng Garden Residential Area.

"Pa—" A pack of blue Du Leisi slapped onto Xu Qing's head.

"You... you... Tang Song... what do you want to do?" Xu Qing shrank her body, hiding in the corner, looking up at that tall and sturdy figure, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.

"Qingqing, come here." Tang Song looked at her expressionlessly: "Put it on me."

Xu Qing looked at the Du Leisi in front of her, a thick blush rising on her face, "This... how do I put this on?"

"What do you think?" Tang Song's gaze fell on her lips, "I don't want to repeat myself a third time, come here and put it on me!"

Sunlight spilled through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a layer of golden radiance over his tall and straight figure.

His facial features were three-dimensional and deep, and a cold sense of oppression permeated his brows.

"Why are you being so fierce!" Xu Qing said boldly: "Wait until my best friend comes, I'll have her pin you to the ground and beat you up."

"Hehe, are you talking about Shen Yu Yan?" Tang Song pointed in a direction, "She is right next door now; this pack of Du Leisi is what I ordered her to buy."

Immediately after, the door next to them suddenly opened.

A tall and beautiful figure appeared; Lin Empress Mu Xue, wearing a secretary outfit, appeared at the doorway.

Her makeup was exquisite, and her hair was coiled behind her head.

The black slim-fit half-skirt and shirt outlined her sexy and graceful figure to the fullest.

At her feet, her best friend Shen Yu Yan lay slumped there, looking like a defeated supporting female character.

Lin Empress Mu Xue's expression was indifferent, and her gaze toward her best friend was full of disdain.

It was obvious that Shen Yu Yan had been firmly suppressed by this female villain.

——————

"Ah! You hateful Liu Ruyan! Let my best friend go!"

In the quiet bedroom, Xu Qing shouted loudly and sat up from the bed.

Looking around, her originally dull expression gradually became vivid, and she instantly realized she had just been dreaming.

She was too excited last night and didn't fall asleep until the early morning, and she had all sorts of strange dreams all night long.

One moment reality, one moment a novel.

One moment Xu Yanqing, one moment Xu Qing.

There was even a scene of being disciplined by Sorry Xiao Jing with a small whip; just thinking about it was scary.

Xu Qing picked up the phone on the bedside table and looked at it.

It was already almost 8 o'clock!

Xu Qing exclaimed and started changing clothes nimbly.

Arriving in the living room, she exercised on the elliptical machine for a while, then turned on the TV and cast a "Rapid Slimming Exercise" tutorial video.

Standing barefoot on the yoga mat in the living room, she started to exercise.

She now deeply regretted her greedy mouth.

Although she used to feel that she was very beautiful at 166cm/54.5kg, when the time came, she felt a bit nervous.

The problem was that she, Miss Xu Qing, only had a pitiful B-cup.

Wen Ruan, who was by his side, went without saying, "E-cup" in high spirits.

Others, Sorry Xiao Jing and Lin Empress Mu Xue, were all big C-cups.

And she knew that Tang Song's own figure was also super good; according to Sorry Xiao Jing, he even had 8-pack abs.

What if that dog Tang Song mocked her for being fat and having small breasts? What should she do then?

That would truly be a great humiliation!

Sharpening the spear at the last minute is better than nothing.

She had already decided not to eat breakfast or lunch today, trying her best to make herself thinner.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Shen Yu Yan walked in, raised the plastic bag in her hand, and said with a smile: "I bought you your favorite fresh meat xiaolongbao, eat them while they're hot."

"I'm on a diet recently, I'm not eating!"

Shen Yu Yan casually put the xiaolongbao on the dining table and said teasingly: "Forget it, with your habit of 'fishing for three days and drying nets for two,' it would be a miracle if you could lose weight."

Xu Qing pouted and retorted: "Didn't you notice I've lost weight recently? Take a good look!"

Feeling her best friend's scrutinizing gaze.

Xu Qing, sitting on the yoga mat, puffed out her chest, sucked in her stomach without a trace, making her belly look flatter and her breasts look fuller.

Shen Yu Yan looked her over, "Haha, I really can't tell."

"That just means your eyes aren't working well!" Xu Qing's face turned red instantly.

Shen Yu Yan said playfully: "Alright, stop adding so much drama to yourself; Tang Song doesn't like you because of your figure. Breakfast is very important; not eating is bad for your stomach."

"Are you saying my figure is bad?"

"What? Do you want to compare with me?" Shen Yu Yan leaned forward, pulled her base shirt down, and the C+ level cup brought a huge sense of oppression, shining brightly.

Xu Qing shrank her neck back and whispered a few vicious words.

Sitting at the dining table, she started eating the xiaolongbao in big mouthfuls.

Her best friend had been the queen of C-cups since high school and could break through to a big D-level at any time; she really couldn't afford to provoke her and could only temporarily avoid her edge.

Shen Yu Yan pinched Xu Qing's cheek, "I'm going to see a client today and should be very busy; if you have anything, just call me, and I'll teach you what to do."

She actually knew this best friend very well.

Xu Qing's greatest charm was her personality; she was very good at providing emotional value to others and was especially sincere.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so close to her, closer than real sisters.

"Got it." Xu Qing muttered and quickly finished breakfast.

She started to get busy in full swing.

First, she took a serious hot shower, then started hair removal, skincare, makeup, colored contacts, styling...

As a professional coser, she had a lot of experience in this area.

When the time came, she would change into a cosplay outfit, which would definitely make Tang Song "amazed" and unable to take his eyes off her the moment they met.

Hahahaha!

……

A little past 11 o'clock in the morning.

"Ding-a-ling—" The phone rang suddenly.

Xu Qing, who had just finished tidying herself up, hurriedly answered the phone, "Hello? Luoluo, where are you?"

"Oh oh, okay, I'll leave immediately, just wait for me at the South Gate."

Hanging up the phone, Xu Qing put on her bag and walked downstairs quickly.

Walking out of the residential gate, she saw Ma Luoluo standing on the curb.

Tattoos, ear studs, short hair, dressed in a trendy and sexy way.

Next to her was another friend, Li Xiaomei, whose full name was Zhao Meimei.

Both were members of the Yancheng University of Technology Cosplay Club and could once be considered "capable assistants" under Xu Qing.

"Qingqing, over here!" Ma Luoluo smiled and waved.

Xu Qing carried her bag, trotted to their side, and smiled: "Li Xiaomei, didn't you say you weren't coming? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Li Xiaomei covered her mouth and chuckled, pointing to the Maserati Ghibli next to them, "I heard from Luoluo that her boyfriend is treating us to lunch at noon, so I came to take advantage, hehe, and buy a cosplay outfit by the way."

Immediately after, the car window slowly rolled down, and Zhang Xiao, who had medium-long hair, waved at her, "Hello, Qingqing, long time no see. Tsk tsk, why do I feel like you've become even more beautiful."

Xu Qing giggled: "You have an eye for beauty!"

Today, she was wearing full makeup; even if Su Yu saw her, she would have to step back!

Ma Luoluo knocked on the car window angrily, "Hey, why don't I see you praising me."

"Luoluo baby is also very beautiful, haha, alright, hurry up and get in the car, aren't you going to buy clothes in the afternoon? Let me take you to eat something good first."

"Hmph, you're sensible."

Soon, the three girls got into the car one after another.

The royal blue Maserati Ghibli started slowly and headed straight to a high-end Italian restaurant in the Huaxin District.

Zhang Xiao was very generous, ordering more than 3,000 yuan worth of food in one go.

Parma ham with melon, seafood salad, pan-fried foie gras with fig jam, black truffle pasta...

Xu Qing, who had originally made up her mind to lose weight, was instantly dazzled by the delicious food, taking photos to check in and eating to her heart's content.

Immersed in it and unable to extricate herself.

After finishing a chocolate lava cake, she felt her little belly bulging a bit.

Xu Qing's face turned pale instantly.

She had originally wanted to skip two meals to make herself look slimmer, but she couldn't control her mouth.
