What exactly is the relationship between you and Tang Song now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this question, Zhang Yan's eyes trembled suddenly, and her fair cheeks instantly became flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's... I...\" She lowered her head, her gaze falling on her toes, stammering, unable to say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night before parting in Yangcheng last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mustered the greatest courage in her life to confess to him, and he also responded that he liked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to normal logic, they should be considered boyfriend and girlfriend now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how can the reality of the situation be summarized by \"normal logic\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning's existence is like a mountain pressing on her heart, making her almost unable to raise her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, her knowledge of Tang Song's true state now is actually completely blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his complex life, she is just a corner that has been accommodated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her head and secretly glanced at the charming and attractive Wen Ruan in the night, her gaze dimming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is not a fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Wen Ruan's attitude towards her, as well as the unguarded trust Tang Song has in Wen Ruan, she can clearly feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their relationship is far more intimate than \"good friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether it is the kind of relationship she thinks, she dare not ask, and dare not think deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because one Liu Qingning has already made her almost unable to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I think I know the answer.\" Wen Ruan, like a real sister, rubbed her head and smiled: \"This guy Tang Song... hmm... although he has many shortcomings in feelings. But he is indeed a good man, and he values feelings very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she waved at Zhang Yan, turned around, and sat in the back row of the Alphard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black car window slowly rose, cutting off Zhang Yan's line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car drove away steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Wen Ruan's face gradually faded, and she sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song arranged for Zhang Yan to enter Nebula International and asked her to take the initiative to contact her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, it was to let her, this \"person who has been through it,\" do psychological construction and ideological counseling for this simple little white rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, it was to be the scapegoat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things have to be said sooner or later, and her current situation is also awkward, so it's better to let Zhang Yan understand the situation she is about to face sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beicheng Garden residential area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights in the bedroom were bright and warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Lingling was wearing a white camisole and gray-blue pajama pants, sitting cross-legged on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of her was the \"battle robe\" she had carefully selected for tomorrow's date, as well as various personal items that needed to be carried, filling half the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amitabha, God bless—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put her hands together, muttered a few words to the ceiling, and then picked up her phone for the Nth time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the screen was the chat interface with Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers hovered over the input box for a long time, and after hesitating again and again, she still didn't dare to say the plan of \"soaking in the hot spring together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stands to reason that she is going to the resort in the suburbs to spend the night tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She should have told the other party in advance so he could bring some change of clothes or something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem is, this dating plan is really too shameful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, taking the initiative to invite a boy to soak in a private hot spring and stay in a hotel looks a bit like a \"pervert\" no matter how you look at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—tomorrow, he will be my \"boyfriend\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they are boyfriend and girlfriend, then this invitation is very reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried hard to convince herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior shouldn't be angry, and when the time comes, looking at the \"temporary girlfriend\" status, if I am a little willful, he will definitely be able to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm! Yes! That's it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, I know Senior's body size, and I have made clothes for him before, so I'll just go to the mall and prepare swimming trunks and change of clothes for him later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other daily necessities must be available in the hotel suite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, she thought of Senior's perfect body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had only touched it through his clothes when measuring his size, and had never seen Senior's naked appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he puts on swimming trunks tomorrow, that scene will be simply \"Ah ah ah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Lingling buried her head in the pillow, her heart beating wildly. Actually, her original wish was just to go on a date, hold hands, hug, or something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only later that she discovered that Senior was actually a \"sea king,\" and her courage grew unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the other party didn't have only one girlfriend to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I am a little bit out of line, it should be fine, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was letting her imagination run wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding ling ling—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone rang; it was her mom calling. \"Hello, Mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lingling, are you back at your place? Is work busy? Are you used to living in the new house?\" Her mom's familiar caring voice came from the other end of the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything is fine, don't worry about me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted about family matters for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Lingling suddenly remembered something and said: \"By the way, I won't go home this weekend, I'll go back next week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\" Her mom said with some difficulty: \"Then about your cousin Rourou's matter...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Lingling said indifferently: \"Oh, you guys just go, I'm just a transparent person, it's the same whether I go or not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can it be the same? My daughter is now a well-known designer. Your mom has already bragged to the relatives, and I was thinking of showing off a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom is really young at heart, what's there to show off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't know, your uncle's tail has almost been raised to the sky recently. My daughter has finally achieved success, won't you let me be proud?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Lingling laughed twice and started joking with her mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cousin Yao Rourou is considered the most successful in their Yao family generation. After graduation, she was admitted to a provincial-level public institution and was infinitely glorious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also found a new boyfriend a while ago, who is said to be a deputy section-level cadre of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, not yet thirty years old, and belongs to this super \"potential stock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Yao Guanying's family was already developing well, and they liked to show off among relatives on a daily basis, and now they are even more proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said they wanted to have a meal together this weekend and let the relatives see the \"son-in-law\" of cousin Rourou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, they just wanted to show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not very willing to attend such occasions, and now that the dating plan has changed, it is naturally even more impossible to go back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was her parents who were so concerned, it was obvious that they were wearing the windbreaker she designed for Su Yu, and they had already posted several times on Moments today. \"By the way, Lingling, it's getting colder and colder, you can't always ride that motorcycle of yours everywhere, right? It's so unsafe, you should buy a car. Your dad and I discussed it, we can pay the 100,000 down payment for you, you just choose it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow?! So generous? Is this still my stingy mother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go away, when have I ever been stingy! Your salary has risen so much now, if you want to buy one, buy a better one, it can't be less than 300,000!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!
