TMLSG -Chapter 107 Always Waiting for Her

When Tang Zhen was still half-conscious, she heard Santiao’s voice announcing the task settlement.

【Mission rewards being calculated…】

【A total of 32 missions completed, earning 37 Life Points…】

【Total Exchange Points earned: 3…】

【Please choose your exchange reward…】

Tang Zhen heard herself ask, “Can I give 1 exchange point to Ren Yanjing?”

After three seconds of silence, 111 replied, 【Yes, Zhen.】

“Then I’ll send him a blessing.”

One exchange point could be traded for a blessing. The person receiving the blessing would gain a buff, smoothing the path of their future.

With this blessing, all the previous blessings she had given Ren Yanjing would come true—

Parents’ love, career success, academic achievements, a happy life, smooth sailing…

111: 【Blessing delivered.】

【Zhen, please choose your new identity.】

Tang Zhen was exhausted, so she heard herself say, “Santiao, pick a good one for me.”

111, brimming with excitement, 【Okay, Zhen, don’t worry! Leave it to me!】

Tang Zhen slept in a daze for three days. When she finally woke up, she had a new identity.

She was still Tang Zhen—same face, same name—but no longer the same Tang Zhen as before.

Now, she had returned to the very beginning of her current life. She had just come back from abroad and transferred to the B University Affiliated High School. Next semester, she would enter the second half of her senior year.

She had a father who was a musician and a strong, career-focused mother. She was their only daughter.

Her parents had a harmonious relationship. Her mother held authority at home, and the family dynamics were simple.

Unlike the previously aloof artist father, this father was down-to-earth—making music both for his dreams and to earn money, improving the family’s standard of living.

However, her strong, capable mother earned more than enough, so her father’s income was just a bonus.

Previously, the family had lived in an artistic capital.

This move back to the country was due to her mother’s career changes.

The three-day sleep was also to recover from jet lag.

Tang Zhen asked 111, “Santiao, what’s the date now?”

111 replied cheerfully, 【Zhen, it’s the 20th.】

Tang Zhen exclaimed, “Then the New Year is just a few days away.”

111: 【Yes.】

She had slept three days, meaning three days had passed in reality.

In other words, she had been separated from Ren Yanjing for three days.

She wanted to ask how he was doing, but 111 refused. In its words:

【Zhen, he’s already your ex-husband. Why care? Besides, you’ve already given him an extremely precious blessing. What’s there to worry about?】

How could the male lead be doing badly?

He could only be living extremely, extremely well.

But in reality, Ren Yanjing had not been doing well these past three days. In fact, he had been miserable.

The precious blessing ensured his life would go smoothly, but it couldn’t control his emotions, nor his heart.

Ren Yanjing’s mother, tears in her eyes, comforted him, “Yanjing, calm down.”

He turned his head away and closed his eyes.

Ren Yanjing’s father said gravely, “The police are interrogating Li Ran. She claims she knows nothing.”

A living person had staged a disappearance right in front of Li Ran, yet she claimed no foul play—who would believe that?

The police had ruled her out as a suspect.

Tang Zhen had indeed disappeared on the spot—not pushed into the river by Li Ran. No one fell into the river that day.

“Yanjing, you…”

Ren Yanjing’s voice was hoarse, “Dad, Mom, I’m fine.”

At the moment he realized Tang Zhen had vanished, as if falling into an ice pit, he vaguely understood that he had received a precious blessing.

This blessing would ensure him a safe, smooth life.

And the source of that blessing? The answer was obvious.

It was precisely because of that blessing that he clearly realized Tang Zhen was still out there.

She had to be somewhere in this world, waiting for a chance encounter with him.

He had been miserable for three days—and three days was all he would allow himself to feel miserable.

Today, he planned to personally go talk to Li Ran.

After all, she was the last person who had seen Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen couldn’t stay at home. Wearing a mask and a baseball cap, she slipped out quietly.

111 tried to comfort her: 【Zhen, there are so many people in this world who look similar. You don’t need to worry.】

But her face was too distinctive. Wouldn’t anyone notice?

【Who cares? Maybe they will notice, but it won’t affect you at all.】

【Zhen, you are now President Liu’s daughter.】

“President Liu” referred to Tang Zhen’s new mother, a bold, decisive, and unstoppable career woman.

Tang Zhen’s new identity was that of a high school student who had just returned from abroad after more than ten years. She had no friends in the country yet.

She didn’t know where she was going—she just didn’t want to be still.

Whenever she was quiet, her mind would wander, spinning in all directions.

Better to go out for a walk; at least her mood would improve.

She arrived at a square and sat down beside the fountain to rest for a while.

The New Year was coming soon, and the area around the square was lively. Passersby all wore expressions of anticipation for the holiday.

Tang Zhen couldn’t help wondering: what was Ren Yanjing doing at this very moment?

She was too curious about what had happened over the past three days. “Santiao, you’re my best friend. Just tell me, okay?”

111 couldn’t resist Tang Zhen’s sweet coaxing.

She was beautiful, her voice was sweet, and she seemed wrapped in honey syrup—everything about her was sweet.

Especially when she said, “You’re my best friend,” her eyes sparkled like a sea of stars.

111 finally gave in. 【Well… not much happened… it’s just…】

Just as 111 was about to recount the events of the past three days, from across the fountain came two familiar voices:

“Ren Yanjing, believe me, I really didn’t do anything to her!”

Tang Zhen froze completely.

This world was way too small.

Even 111 was shocked.

No way—no way! She had just assumed a new identity, so how did the female lead—or rather, no, the female lead was gone since she was offline—end up running into the male lead again?

Now, Tang Zhen was just an ordinary passerby.

The next moment, a cold, indifferent voice rang out:

“Why did you specifically come from Lin City to her hometown that day?”

Hearing this voice, Tang Zhen was momentarily dazed.

She had never heard Ren Yanjing speak so coldly before—icy, detached, and unapproachable.

“I wanted her to persuade you to register before the deadline.”

“And who are you to dictate my future?”

“Ren Yanjing, as a fellow alum, I’m just looking out for your own good!”

“Do I need that?”

Li Ran, nearly losing her mind, shouted, “Ren Yanjing, does she understand robots? Does she know calculus? Can she make microchips? She can’t do anything!”

“She doesn’t need to.”

Li Ran stared at him in disbelief. “Ren Yanjing, can’t you be rational?”

“No.”

Li Ran snorted coldly, unable to control her petty malice. “Then what can we do? She disappeared. She just vanished, inexplicably.”

Ren Yanjing said calmly, “So what?”

Before Li Ran could continue, he said lightly, “I will wait for her.”

One year, two years, three years…

No matter how long it took, he would wait, endlessly, unwaveringly.

Whenever she looked back, she would always find him waiting in the same place.
