TMLSG -Chapter 122 Only Believe in Her

Tang Zhen received an 800-word apology essay from Lu Yu. In it, Lu Yu deeply reflected on her mistakes and apologized to her many times.

The attitude was very sincere. It was obvious at a glance that it had been written by hand. As for whether Li Ran helped her with it, that was unclear, but at least the wording was earnest and apologetic.

111 couldn’t help but comment,【As expected of the male lead.】

He did a lot but said very little.

Who would have thought he had quietly handled the matter behind the scenes? Truly incredible execution ability—he wouldn’t let his girlfriend suffer even the slightest grievance.

The matter of the cat robot temporarily came to an end, but Tang Zhen’s new mission had still not been completed.

Earlier, when she brought up an old issue, Ren Yanjing hadn’t gotten angry. Instead, he said he believed her.

Tang Zhen couldn’t help asking, “Santiao, what exactly does ‘anger him’ mean?”

111 replied,【As long as he shows displeasure on his face, it counts!】

So the mission actually wasn’t difficult at all.

After all, who hasn’t shown a displeased expression before?

But Tang Zhen had no intention of deliberately causing trouble, so her attitude toward Mission Thirty-Three was simple: if she could complete it, fine; if not, forget it.

Not long after Tang Zhen and Ren Yanjing got back together, school started again.

Her new homeroom teacher was surnamed Xu, a young female teacher in her twenties. She was humorous and had a very pleasant personality.

On the very first day of school, Tang Zhen received more than a dozen love letters. Besides the letters, there were also all kinds of snacks.

111 sighed,【Zhen, there’s no helping it—you’re just that popular.】

But being too popular could actually be troublesome.

Especially when she already had a boyfriend.

111 added,【Well, they don’t know you have a boyfriend.】

Although Tang Zhen had gained a little fame in a small circle and even had a brief moment of popularity online before, only a minority of people recognized her in real life. And since it was the first day of school, no one had asked whether she was single.

Thus, the current situation happened.

Although the love letters gave Tang Zhen a headache, during a break she accidentally witnessed a quarrel between a young couple.

The boy shook off the girl’s hand angrily.

“Are you annoying or what?”

The girl followed behind him step by step.

“I was just joking with you.”

The boy didn’t even look back.

“I don’t think it’s funny.”

“I’m sorry.”

111 commented in a spectator’s gossiping tone,【All she did was touch his Adam’s apple, and he’s already annoyed. His temper is pretty bad.】

Tang Zhen looked confused.

“Santiao, you can’t casually touch a boy’s Adam’s apple?”

【Probably not. Some boys don’t like it. After all, the Adam’s apple is a rather vulnerable part of the body.】

One of a man’s obvious weak points.

So that’s how it was?

However, couples who argue often reconcile quickly. Before long, the two of them went to the campus convenience store together.

Tang Zhen looked thoughtful.

While Tang Zhen was spending her first day of senior-year school life on campus, Ren Yanjing was stopped by Li Ran outside the laboratory.

Zhang Mian and the others stopped walking as well. One by one they gathered around Ren Yanjing, curious to see what she wanted to do this time.

Li Ran had come to find Ren Yanjing today for one reason only—to seek an explanation for Lu Yu.

Using her meticulous logic, she began recalling everything that happened during the laboratory visit that day.

“At 14:23, she left the group to go to the restroom. On the way there, she would definitely pass by the cat robot. She returned to the group at 14:32. My friend said she was gone for five minutes, but actually it wasn’t—she spent a total of nine minutes.”

Both she and Lu Yu usually spent around five minutes in the restroom.

So what did Tang Zhen do with the extra four minutes?

Ren Yanjing frowned slightly.

“Can you tell me how long Zhang Mian took in the restroom?”

Li Ran didn’t understand his point.

“We’re talking about Tang Zhen right now.”

“I’m just asking—can you or not?”

Li Ran took a deep breath.

“No.”

Why would she pay attention to Zhang Mian?

Ren Yanjing’s tone grew slightly heavier.

“But you can precisely tell the time my girlfriend spent in the restroom.”

Had her attention toward Tang Zhen already exceeded a normal level?

Zhang Mian and the others also stared at her suspiciously.

She even knew the exact time their sister-in-law went to the restroom!

That was terrifying.

Li Ran hadn’t expected Ren Yanjing to focus on something so unexpected. She pretended to sound relaxed.

“Don’t you know? Girls pay extra attention to good-looking girls.”

They subconsciously compare and observe.

She didn’t know whether other girls were like that, nor could she represent all girls. But after meeting Tang Zhen, she really couldn’t help paying attention to her every move, silently guessing and judging what exactly Ren Yanjing liked about her.

Shen Quanli laughed.

“We don’t know that.”

Li Ran dropped the topic and returned to the main point.

“What I’m saying is, she spent four minutes longer than average—”

Ren Yanjing interrupted calmly,

“So what?”

Li Ran clenched her right hand.

“My friend making baseless accusations was indeed wrong. But are you really that certain she’s innocent?”

Right now, the evidence wasn’t clear.

No one could confirm who damaged the cat robot.

Maybe it was Tang Zhen. Maybe it wasn’t.

There was still no definite conclusion.

Lu Yu accusing someone without evidence was indeed wrong.

But could Ren Yanjing guarantee that he was definitely right?

Li Ran both thought so and asked directly,

“Ren Yanjing, are you absolutely certain you’re right?”

After repeatedly reviewing the incident, her conclusion was simple:

Tang Zhen was indeed the most suspicious person.

She had a motive.
She had the time.
She had the opportunity.

Perhaps Lu Yu hadn’t been slandering her after all.

Lu Yu’s only mistake was making accusations without evidence.

But the truth itself was still uncertain.

Ren Yanjing had already grown impatient listening to her. As he walked past Li Ran, he left behind a single calm sentence—

“I choose to believe her unconditionally.”

No matter what had happened that day.

No matter what the truth was.

He would believe her.

Only her.
