Chapter 482

Opening the system warehouse, a fragment glowing with purple light lay quietly in the item slot.

Looking at the item description, Tang Song's gaze flickered slightly.

An interaction task with Su Yu?

Although he felt sorry for the female star's emotional outburst, the appearance of this item gave him a legitimate chance to interact with her openly.

He just didn't know if the contact would be in reality.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Song suppressed the fluttering in his chest, selected 【Su Yu's Emotional Fragment】, and used it immediately.

"Ding! Special item 【Su Yu's Emotional Fragment】 has been used. Task generating—"

"Ding! You've triggered the character interaction task 【Visiting Set and Cameo】. Please check 【Task Center】."

【Task Content: Su Yu will soon film a new urban workplace drama, 【Beneath the Glamour】, at the Mo Du Film Base. On October 4, 2023, go to the Mo Du Film Base, visit Su Yu during filming, and participate in the shoot as a "special guest actor," completing a scene with Su Yu to soothe her emotions.】

【Reward: Character Interaction Gift Pack *1】

【Note 1: Interaction is limited to the system-defined scope】

【Note 2: Interaction location is restricted to the filming site, within three days】

【Note 3: Do not directly or indirectly affect player charm value or task progress】

After reading the task description, Tang Song's eyes lit up brightly, his heart pounding fiercely.

Three days of interaction? On a film set?

This wasn't just an interaction task—it was practically a gift!

Thinking of that ethereally beautiful female star, Tang Song's heart grew hotter.

Although he wasn't much of an actor, it was only a cameo—he could even just be a background extra.

As for soothing Su Yu's emotions, he was confident.

This female star had already been PUA'd into submission by his in-game self; last time, just visiting her concert,

she'd burst into tears of joy—let alone now, with three full days of filming ahead.

Besides, he'd originally planned to go to Mo Du during the National Day holiday.

One reason was for his date with An Ni; the other was to try triggering 【The Gentle Feather of Memory】.

In his memory, his 2017 self had been obsessed with the "Celebrity Cultivation Fuben," and the person he interacted with most was Su Yu.

Songs, scripts, variety shows—perhaps this visit and cameo could help him recover those lost memories.

"Tang Zong! Tang Zong!" A cheerful voice suddenly cut through his thoughts.

Tang Song snapped back to attention, lifting his head to his side,

several female colleagues from the Brand Department were giggling over, cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Boss, can we take a photo together?" Sun Sun Yixuan spoke first, her tone laced with anticipation.

"Tang Zong, I'm your fan too—I want a photo as well."

Since Tang Song currently served as Director of the Brand Department, his colleagues there interacted with him most frequently, and the distance between them had lessened.

Amid the chatter, Tang Song spotted Cheng Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu, her face shyly averted, blushing.

She seemed to have been dragged along by her colleagues, her cheeks tinged with an unnatural flush.

"Sure, come on," Tang Song smiled, standing calmly, his tone gentle.

One by one, the female colleagues gathered around, lining up to take photos with him. Some bold ones even hugged his arm, laughing uproariously.

"Click—click—" The shutter sounded repeatedly.

"Tang Zong is so handsome!" Sun Sun Yixuan finished her photo, excitedly giving a victory sign. "Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu, your turn—hurry up! This chance won't come again, haha."

Another female colleague gave her a nudge.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu took two hesitant steps forward, standing to Tang Song's right, eyes lowered, fingers nervously twisting a strand of hair.

Tang Song turned his head; in his breath, he caught a faint, cool fragrance from Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu—like morning dew in early winter, crisp and pure.

Then, his gaze accidentally swept over her head.

【Cultivating—97%—】 (Not Sprouted)

In just one night, progress had risen another 7%—only a tiny bit left to sprout.

According to his earlier estimate, it would definitely happen tonight.

"I'll take your photo—hurry up and pose!" Sun Sun Yixuan teased.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu unconsciously tugged at her hem, shifting a small step closer to Tang Song, so subtly it was nearly imperceptible.

Seeing this, Tang Song chuckled softly and reached out to wrap his arm around her shoulders, smiling brightly toward the camera.

"Ah! Tang Zong is so biased!" Sun Sun Yixuan feigned indignation.

"No, no—we need to retake this!"

"Click—click—" The shutter sounded again, accompanied by laughter and playful noise.

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu's body stiffened slightly, her head spinning as if the whole world were turning.

Only after the photos were done, when Tang Song's warm hand left her shoulder, did she slowly come back to herself.

She turned her head, stealing a glance at Tang Song's profile, then quietly slipped away from the group.

Pulling out her phone, she saw the group chat now held the newly taken photos.

Looking at the two of them standing close together, Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu's face grew redder.

She stared at it for a long time.

"Vibrating—vibrating—" Her phone suddenly shook violently.

【Xu An】

Answering the call, Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu whispered, "Hello? Xu An."

"Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu, are you still busy? My friends and I are going for Japanese food at noon—want to join?"

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu replied softly, "No thanks, you guys eat without me. My colleagues and I are on a team-building trip near Shanhai Pass—I'll meet you tonight."

"Ah, alright," Xu An paused, then added, "By the way, I sent you the address on WeChat. We haven't sung together in ages, haha—I'm practically a semi-pro singer now. Let's have a duet when we meet."

"Mm, okay."

"Alright then, remember to come early."

After hanging up, Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu checked her previous WeChat messages.

【Xu An: Xinghai Music Diner. map】

She'd been so absorbed in the photos she hadn't noticed.

Thinking for a moment, she glanced at her senior, who was introducing the scenic spots to the group, then hurried over.

"Gao Zong."

Gao Gao Gao Mengting turned around, her face bright with a smile.

"About that thing we mentioned—doing live streams and videos at the filming location—tonight Xu An is bringing his friends. Do you want to come along?"

Gao Gao Gao Mengting ruffled her hair. "Sure. Wushan's a bit chaotic—I wouldn't feel right letting such a beautiful girl go out alone."

"Thank you, Gao Zong."

"Don't thank me—it should be me thanking you on behalf of the company," Gao Gao Gao Mengting laughed. "If this goes well, I'll mention it to Tang Zong and get you a bonus."

Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu shyly bit her lip.

They chatted a few more minutes, then Gao Gao Gao Mengting took Cheng Cheng Qiuqiu's hand and walked with her toward the deeper part of the scenic area with the others.

Lanfeng International Luxury Apartment.

In a softly lit, lavishly stocked walk-in closet.

Lin Empress Mu Xue stood at the center, wearing only a simple bra and panties, her long legs and slender waist fully visible in the mirror.

Her fingers glided across the rows of hangers, finally stopping on a light blue striped business suit.

"That's it!" Lin Empress Mu Xue snapped her fingers, swiftly taking down the suit and dressing herself.

She spun in front of the mirror, a satisfied smile on her face.

The jacket was tailored, sharply cut, with a slightly nipped waist—professional yet undeniably feminine.

The pants were high-waisted, wide-legged, with perfect drape that gave her an instant aura of presence.

Formal enough, yet not stiff, perfectly highlighting her tall, sensual figure.

"Perfect!" She gave the mirror a victory sign, her eyes gleaming with confidence.
