Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Chapter 953: Chapter 396: Flapping Wings

August 21, 2023, Monday, sunny with intermittent clouds, 22~32℃.

At 5:30 in the morning, Tang Song awoke from his sleep, instinctively reaching out to touch the side, only to find it empty.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, he gradually realized that he had already left Shen City.

The flight was originally at 4 PM, but before leaving, seeing Liu Qingning’s stubborn yet dejected eyes, he rescheduled it to 8 PM.

In Su Yu’s song room, he sang with her for a long time.

By the time the plane landed back in the city area of Yan City, it was already late at night.

There were two reasons why he had to rush back yesterday.

One was about the Yannan Short Drama Base. He had delayed for a week and needed to meet with Xie Yue today to discuss and complete his second-phase growth plan tasks thoroughly.

The other reason was that tomorrow is Valentine’s Day.

Although he loved his first love dearly, there were also many people he cared about in Yan City.

Looking at the dark sky outside, Tang Song sat blankly on the bed, faces flashing before his eyes, and he couldn’t help but slightly smile.

He wondered how they had all been doing recently.

...

Normal University Teacher’s Apartment.

The window was open.

The fan was whirring, blowing wind.

The biological clock woke Qian Lele up.

She washed her face simply, put on a gray quick-dry shirt and sports pants, changed into the Adidas sneakers Ding Yao gave her, and hurried downstairs.

On the way to school, the sun slowly rose from the east, and the orange sunlight spread across the world.

Soon, in the lush, quiet campus, the rhythmic sound of running and heavy breathing could be heard.

She originally didn’t have this habit because her daily work was busy enough.

Even though Tang Song had been gone for a long time, the impact he brought had deeply imprinted on her life.

For instance, the morning exercises every day, the books he left behind, like fruit tea.

In addition, he helped her find a new part-time job.

Actually, it couldn’t really be called a part-time job; it was more like temp work.

Helping a five-star hotel with some advertising landing pages, both for the web and app embeds that she needed to deploy to the server and send the addresses to the media officer responsible for publication.

This work was just within her current technical abilities, giving her a great sense of accomplishment.

Each page earned her 600 yuan, and so far, she had done two.

Combined with the income from setting up a stall, she had accumulated some savings, mainly the stability of her income had greatly increased.

To better complete her work, she had already started selecting her next laptop.

The budget was around 3,000 yuan, preferably brand new.

After exercising, she made a simple breakfast for herself and ate it quickly.

Glancing at the time, it was exactly 6:30.

Qian Lele opened the fridge, preparing the materials needed for the evening’s stall.

Her gaze fell on a sealed glass jar inside.

Inside was her homemade pickled radish, with a sweet, sour, and spicy flavor.

When Tang Song was here, he often praised the deliciousness of her pickles.

After the last jar was finished, she specially bought a pretty jar to make some for him, intending to give it to him to eat.

Qian Lele pressed her lips together, recalling what he said that night: ”I live in the YJTC, from here at the normal university, take route 31 and you’ll get there.”

In fact, the reason she made this jar of pickles was ultimately an excuse to see him.

Unfortunately, she never mustered the courage.

And he never came to find her again afterward.

She only heard that he became a shareholder of Glimmer Coffee; she’d seen his photo with President Xie in the group chat and thought they looked very compatible.

To her, everything that happened that midsummer night felt like a Cinderella’s dream.

”Thunk——” The fridge door closed gently.

Qian Lele brewed the black tea with boiling water, letting it cool for later use. Then she cleaned the lemons thoroughly with salt, removed the ends, sliced them thinly, and removed the seeds.

Sounds of busy work came from the kitchen.

Qian Lele followed the steps meticulously, preparing the iced lemon tea she would sell in the evening.

She was always a practical and diligent soul, knowing what she should be doing in her current state.

However, occasionally, in the midst of busyness, she’d suddenly recall Tang Song, the one who ate pancakes and pickles with her, helped her with the stall, indulged in study, and taught her about front-end technology.

She would daydream for a while, then smile knowingly.

At 7 in the morning.

Qian Lele walked out of the residential gate, heading towards Glimmer Cafe along the street.

Tomorrow was Valentine’s Day, and the cafe was going to hold a big promotional event, so today she was going to prepare the materials needed for tomorrow with Sister Zhao and the others.

...

Star Garden Community, Building 8.

”Ring ring ring——” The alarm clock continuously rang in the bedroom.

Yao Lingling sat up from the bed, groggily turning off the alarm clock.

She glanced at the time, yawning and getting out of bed.

She went back home for the weekend again, and it was unusually hectic.

She was mainly busy with one thing: the autumn formal attire she made for senior Tang Song was finally completed.

Yao Lingling opened the wardrobe, smiling brightly at the suit inside the garment bag.

The day after tomorrow was the end of summer, and the hot days would soon be over, with the weather gradually cooling down.

This outfit would be just right to wear.

And now that she had a little moped, she could invite him for a ride on the weekend, along with her newly acquainted friend, Cheng Qiuyu.

Hehe, just thinking about it made her a little thrilled.

Removing her pajamas, she stood naked in front of the mirror.
