TMLSG -Chapter 115 You Are the Most Important

111, who had been secretly eavesdropping, was utterly baffled: ???

Was this conversation the final nail in the coffin for the male and female leads?

It couldn’t resist asking its senior for advice. Ever since encountering 666, it had completely pushed the “Scumbag Department 001” out of its mind.

【Senior, the male and female leads are basically on the verge of a complete falling out. Does this mean my host is about to level up?】

666 snorted. 【Not that simple.】

111 protested. 【But the male and female leads have basically split!】

666 said little, only this: 【Time is the best test of love.】

This was only the beginning.

A heartbeat can be unpredictable; perhaps only the moment of marriage could definitively decide things.

After the robot performances ended, it was time to head home.

Tang Zhen came with her cousins, so naturally she went home with them in the same car.

Ren Yanjing said nothing and quietly drove behind them.

This wasn’t the first time he had done this. Previously, the car behind had a driver; this time, it was him personally following.

Tang Zhen’s cousin noticed Ren Yanjing was behind them. Occasionally, when a green light had only three seconds left, he would intentionally wait rather than go, letting Ren Yanjing pass first.

This tailing was almost effortless, and Ren Yanjing noted Tang Fei’s thoughtful gestures.

On the way back to Tang Zhen’s house, she lowered her head to grab her phone to send a message to Ren Yanjing—only to remember her old account no longer worked, and her previous messaging app had been offline for a while.

She asked 111, “Can you restore my previous account?”

After all, the male lead already knew her current address. It was just one account; it shouldn’t matter too much.

【Zhen, wait a moment.】

After some operations, 111 notified her that she could log in to her old account.

As soon as she logged in, Tang Zhen’s phone started vibrating nonstop.

Most were messages from Ren Yanjing. Tiantian, Yezi, Zhuzi, and Ren Yan’en had also sent her a lot of messages.

The message count from Ren Yanjing showed 999+.

Tang Zhen bit her lip and opened it, realizing that over the past few days, Ren Yanjing had sent her over a thousand messages. At first, he asked where she was, whether she was okay, and if she had encountered any trouble. Later, he asked less, instead reporting on what he had done each day, occasionally sprinkling in a few messages saying he missed her.

Among these thousands of messages, Tang Zhen caught one: “No matter what happens, I’ll be with you.”

Seeing that sentence, she almost had the illusion that Ren Yanjing had somehow guessed something.

They had just arrived home. Tang Zhen lowered her head and typed word by word to Ren Yanjing: “I didn’t log in earlier. It’s late today. You should go rest early.”

Ren Yanjing replied quickly: “Okay.”

But after Tang Zhen finished washing up, she noticed that Ren Yanjing’s car was still parked near the villa, with no intention of leaving. In fact, he was talking with Tang Fei beside the car; she had no idea what they were discussing.

Half an hour later, when Tang Zhen opened the curtains and looked down from the second floor again, she saw Tang Fei and Tang Yu had returned home—but Ren Yanjing’s car was still in the parking spot.

Unable to resist, Tang Zhen sent him a message: “Why haven’t you gone home yet?”

Ren Yanjing: “It’s still early.”

Still early when it was past eleven at night?!

Tang Zhen simply put on a jacket and leaned on the balcony railing, looking at Ren Yanjing from a distance.

He wore a black long coat with a gray sweater and straight trousers underneath. Sitting on the car hood, left hand holding his phone, right hand propped on the hood, he kept his gaze fixed on her. An uninformed observer might have thought a popular male celebrity had arrived.

They stared at each other from afar for half an hour. When it grew late, Ren Yanjing sent a message telling Tang Zhen to go inside and sleep, and only then did he drive away.

The next day, Tang Zhen found out what he had been talking about with Tang Fei.

Although she had returned to her final year of high school, this time she was an international student, not following the domestic college entrance exam path. President Liu originally planned for her to apply to an arts-focused school in the city, but Ren Yanjing suggested she apply to schools in other countries instead.

It was unclear what Ren Yanjing had said to Tang Fei, but Tang Fei found his suggestion useful and mentioned it to President Liu. As a result, President Liu changed his mind.

However, the schools Ren Yanjing recommended were difficult to get into and required interviews.

111 suggested,【Zhen, you haven’t used your previous blessing yet. Why not use it for yourself?】

That’s right—Tang Zhen had given Ren Yanjing a blessing before, but she hadn’t used her own.

Tang Zhen immediately applied it to herself. With this blessing, her chances of being admitted would be greatly increased.

111 chuckled mischievously, 【Zhen, you secretly want to go to the same school as the male lead, don’t you?】

Tang Zhen didn’t deny it. If she had to study abroad, she didn’t want to go to an unfamiliar city where she knew no one.

Even if she and Ren Yanjing were apart, just knowing he was in a certain city would give her a sense of security.

She asked herself why she felt this way.

Probably because she knew that if something happened in that city, he would come to help her, solve her problems… because he was that reliable a person.

During winter break, Ren Yanjing drove over every night. One of Tang Zhen’s parking spots almost became his personal spot. Every time President Liu returned home late from an event, he would always see the ice-blue Porsche parked there.

Tang Zhen hadn’t fully sorted out her “bystander” role, so for the past few days she only looked at Ren Yanjing from a distance, without going downstairs, and he tacitly didn’t urge her.

Even Tang Yu eventually came over to gossip, asking what this new form of romance was about.

Tang Yu whispered, “You two… what exactly is your relationship?”

Tang Zhen also wanted to know.

111 chuckled mischievously and said, 【The kind you have after living together.】

Tang Zhen: !!!

111’s words stunned her; she kept coughing in shock.

Tang Yu, thinking she had overstepped, waved her hands quickly, “I won’t ask anymore, I won’t ask anymore.”

In the residential community’s chat group, people occasionally discussed the “male celebrity” who reported to Tang Zhen’s home every night. Every day he had a different outfit of the day, but every single look was incredibly handsome.

Tang Zhen heard one gossip from 111 and then ignored the rest.

She had been very busy lately. President Liu had hired several professional tutors to give her pre-exam lessons, leaving her little time for anything else.

Days passed quietly until the night before Tang Zhen’s school interview.

President Liu took time out of his busy schedule to tell her, “Zhenzhen, your dad and I are busy with work. Tomorrow, someone else will accompany you abroad.”

Tang Zhen didn’t ask further, assuming Tang Yu would go with her. But when she went out the next day with her suitcase and saw Ren Yanjing at the door, she realized who President Liu had meant by “someone else.”

At that moment, Tang Zhen completely forgot about keeping her distance from the male lead. She ran up to Ren Yanjing and said urgently, “Isn’t the first round of the International Robot Competition today?”

111 had informed Tang Zhen in advance about all of Ren Yanjing’s competitions. In a way, 111 was a major intelligence source—whatever she wanted to know, it knew.

At this time, Ren Yanjing should have been at the preliminary competition venue, not outside her home.

Ren Yanjing calmly took the suitcase from her hands and said casually, “It’s fine to skip the prelims for a bit.”

Tang Zhen ran behind him, flustered, “Really? But this competition is very important. Why are you skipping it?”

Ren Yanjing placed the suitcase in the trunk, a faint smile playing on his lips, “I didn’t expect you to care so much about me.”

She knew even the recent competitions he participated in.

Tang Zhen’s eyes were full of worry. “Is now really the time to talk about this? Can you still make it if you hurry?”

Ren Yanjing replied lightly, “It’s too late, I guess.”

Tang Zhen looked like an angry goldfish, her cheeks puffed out, making one want to poke them just to see how it felt. “How can you say that so casually!”

Seeing how anxious she was, Ren Yanjing stopped and patiently explained, “Don’t worry, I won’t gamble with my future.” Then, looking directly into Tang Zhen’s eyes, he said seriously, “Right now, you are the most important.”
