Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Chapter 839: Chapter 366: Human World and Fireworks, Wen Ruan and Su Yu_3

A few years ago, with the rise of the ”internet celebrity trend” across the country.

The government carried out a new planning and renovation here, cleverly integrating tradition with modernity, featuring internet-famous foods and handicrafts, and promoted it on short video platforms like Douyin.

Now it’s considered a makeover, becoming one of the few internet-famous check-in spots in Jing County.

Due to the intense afternoon basketball match, Zhao Yaqian and Lin Muxue had to go to the mall to buy new clothes.

Seeing their eager expressions, Tang Song decided to head to this old street on his own.

He wasn’t afraid to accompany girls shopping for clothes, and he could even offer some advice.

However, what they were buying were underwear, possibly with some fun designs.

Tang Song, being a decent person, naturally wanted to avoid it.

As night fell, the city lights began to shine.

Jade Street burst with vitality, neon lights flashing around, and crowds bustling.

Stinky tofu, internet-famous pocket buns, rice noodles...

The vendors’ shouts and customers’ laughter echoed incessantly.

Occasionally, one could see people struggling to ride electric scooters and bicycles through the crowd, shouting ”make way”.

Seeing some teenagers looking like students, walking and eating together, laughing, Tang Song’s gaze turned a bit nostalgic.

Back in high school, during school ”outings”, he would bring Liu Qingning here for shopping.

But Jade Street back then was far less lively than it is now, and they didn’t have as much money as the students do these days.

They couldn’t afford the 5-yuan meat bun, so each got a 2-yuan egg bun, poured some meat juice over it, and ate it with spicy cold noodles—it was especially delicious.

His thoughts gradually returned, Tang Song smiled and took a photo of the bustling long street, sharing it with Liu Qingning.

He commented: ”Next time, I’ll bring you along.”

Putting away his phone, Tang Song started to walk down this old street.

As he passed by a smoky barbecue stall, he happened to see Zhao Yaqian’s favorite sweet potato skin.

Tang Song stopped and said in front of the stall: ”Boss, give me 5 lamb skewers, 3 grilled sweet potato skins, and 3 grilled gluten sticks.”

”Got it, that’ll be 38 yuan total, you can scan here.” The boss responded, took the skewers he prepared, and put them on the grill.

Tang Song nodded, took out his phone to pay, and said, ”Done.”

Just then, a guy next to him suddenly approached, hesitated while eyeing his face, and said: ”Are you... Tang Song?”

Upon hearing his name and the familiar voice, Tang Song was slightly stirred and turned around, saying: ”Shen Hang, it’s you! It’s been a long time.”

The reason he remembered so clearly is that Shen Hang appeared many times in his 2016 memories.

He was friends with Tang Song during high school, often playing basketball together.

He was also present when they found pink earphones.

Compared to high school, Shen Hang now has gained a lot of weight, making his face rounder.

However, he could still be easily recognized from his features and voice.

”Wow, it really is you!” Shen Hang’s eyes widened as he exclaimed: ”Look at you, you’re even more handsome now than in high school.”

Even though Tang Song was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, his demeanor and charisma were undeniable.

At a glance, he looked really charming.

Compared to Shen Hang’s impression of him, Tang Song is now much more mature and confident.

The two reminisced about high school life.

Shen Hang curiously asked: ”By the way, I heard from Sun Jiayue that Liu Qingning is doing exceptionally well, is that true?”

”Yes, she’s doing quite well; she’s developing in the Shen City now, and opened an AI-related education company with her classmates.”

”Awesome! True to her reputation as a scholar!” Shen Hang said with lament: ”From our class, Liu Qingning seems to be the most successful, right? Sun Jiayue is also good; both are really impressive.”

Tang Song chuckled and teased: ”I remember you liked Sun Jiayue, didn’t you? You wrote her love letters and sang to confess, right? Did you keep in touch?”

In high school, Liu Qingning also had many friends she got along well with, like her roommate Sun Jiayue.

Her grades were great too; she went to Shanghai Finance and Economics University.

Post-graduation, she was said to work in a financial company, and Liu Qingning mentioned she was in the fundraising department.

”No, no, no!” Shen Hang quickly shook his head, ”That’s all high school history; I stopped bothering her after she got into Shanghai Finance and Economics University—not even WeChat friends now. I knew my limits, and I have a girlfriend now.”

”Hey, your skewers are ready.” The rich aroma wafted into his nose as the barbecue stall owner handed over a paper bag.

Tang Song thanked him and reached to take it.

Shen Hang pointed to a milk tea shop by the roadside: ”By the way, that’s my milk tea shop. Come on, let me treat you to a cup!”

”Sure.” Tang Song smiled and nodded.

The milk tea shop wasn’t large, just about 20 square meters.

The left side was the counter and drink preparation area, while the right side was the waiting area for customers, with two sets of small tables and chairs.

As it was rush hour, the shop had quite a few customers.

Behind the counter, three girls were busy working.

”What do you want to drink?”

”Uh... The signature milk tea will do, add coconut jelly and pearls.”

”Okay.” Shen Hang gestured an OK sign and strolled to the counter.

He handed the grilled gluten stick to one of the girls there and whispered a few words, then started making it himself.

After a short wait.

Shen Hang returned with a cup of milk tea, ”Here, try how it tastes.”

Tang Song inserted a straw and took a sip, then gave a thumbs up, ”Very nice, the sweetness is just right.”

”Haha, mainly because the raw materials are good; in such a street, if it’s not good, you’d really struggle.” Shen Hang pointed to the girl behind the counter who was eating grilled gluten sticks, saying proudly: ”That’s my girlfriend, just turned 21, studying at Quan City College, met while she was part-timing during summer break—how is she? Pretty, right?”
