TMLSG -Chapter 126 His Young Lady

Ren Yanjing wanted to say that Pretty Cat wasn’t bad at all.

Secretly standing on tiptoe to kiss him, deliberately annoying a rival—everything made his whole heart go soft.

He absolutely adored it.

But the words “super bad” reminded him of “super scheming,” so he used his judgment to guess the answer she wanted to hear.

He nodded slightly and played along, “Indeed… very bad.”

Just as Tang Zhen had anticipated, the moment Ren Yanjing spoke, Mission 34 was successfully completed.

She had truly shown her “super bad” side in front of him.

Tang Zhen pursed her lips, her bright eyes fixed on him.

“Ren Yanjing, do you like bad girls?”

Ren Yanjing stroked his chin, thinking carefully about the answer she wanted, “…No, I don’t.”

He only liked Pretty Cat.

The moment he said “don’t like,” 111 reacted as if it was exactly what they expected,

【Zhen, see! The male lead really doesn’t like bad girls!】

Even though he didn’t like them, Ren Yanjing still successfully helped Tang Zhen complete her mission.

By now, the female lead had appeared for a while and was interacting more and more with the male lead, but he was still with the female supporting character, so all the assigned missions were designed to create tension.

Luckily, these missions were still easy to handle!

Tang Zhen couldn’t help asking 111, “111, the eldest brother is Male Lead 3, Shen Qi is Male Lead 4, so… has Male Lead 2 appeared yet?”

111 replied,【Zhen, Male Lead 2 has appeared a long time ago, he just hasn’t intersected with your life yet.】

Male Lead 2 was a graduate student introduced by Li Ran’s mother, a math prodigy—quiet, reserved, and always a bookish type in Li Ran’s eyes.

Li Ran interacted with him frequently, and as her mother’s most admired graduate student, he was occasionally invited to dinner at their house.

111 commented,【Male Lead 2’s affection is very subtle—not passionate at all.】

In the sweet little romance novel, Male Lead 2 was always quiet and unassuming. He was a top student but rarely paid attention to his appearance—or when he did, because of low emotional intelligence, he still looked like he hadn’t dressed up at all.

Every time he appeared in front of the female lead, he would have washed his hair and changed clothes.

But the clothes never suited him, so it didn’t really make a difference.

Tang Zhen pursed her lips and softly said to 111, “The current female lead seems different from the one in the book.”

Although equally capable, the female lead in the sweet novel was more open and composed. The current one was slightly obsessive.

She added, “If possible, I still hope she can be happy.”

111 groaned,【Zhen, don’t think about it. The happiness the female lead wants can only come from the male lead.】

Because the female lead only liked the male lead.

Male Lead 2 was so reserved, insecure, and quiet—he didn’t dare reveal even a hint of emotion, so he could never give the female lead the kind of love she wanted.

What the female lead wanted was a dazzling, extreme kind of affection—something Male Lead 2 couldn’t provide.

111 bluntly said,【Zhen, forget the female lead. Let her be.】

Tang Zhen and Ren Yanjing had been strolling around B University for a long time.

Next semester, Ren Yanjing wouldn’t be studying at B University, so Tang Zhen wanted to take a good look at early spring on campus.

Later, they went to a nearby barbecue restaurant for dinner. It was almost ten o’clock when Ren Yanjing finally took her home.

The next day was another dull school day.

During lunch break in class, the milk tea Ren Yanjing had ordered arrived again.

It was the fourth day he had ordered milk tea for the whole class.

Also the fourth day he had officially announced himself as Tang Zhen’s boyfriend.

Though he hadn’t shown up in person, at least the whole class knew that Tang Zhen’s boyfriend was generous—he ordered milk tea for everyone, not missing a single person.

Even the teachers and the cleaning staff received some.

Over the past few days, Tang Zhen’s desk was finally free of love letters and chocolates, which made her feel much lighter.

Her new friends sipped their milk tea, joking, “Zhen Zhen, thanks to you! The milk tea is delicious.”

111 chuckled,【Zhen, whether it was the girls like Tiantian before or your current classmates, they’ve all had milk tea ordered by the male lead~】

Tang Zhen took out her phone and asked Ren Yanjing, “How long are you planning to keep ordering milk tea?”

The next second, Ren Yanjing replied, “A semester?”

Tang Zhen: “!!!”

She couldn’t help but ask, “Really?”

Ren Yanjing: “Wife, it can be real, or it can be fake—it all depends on whether you want it to be real or fake.”

Tang Zhen rested her chin on her hand and slowly replied, “Then I hope it’s fake.”

“Okay, then it’s fake.”

Tang Zhen asked again, “So, how long will you order?”

“Start with a week?”

Tang Zhen: “That works.”

A week sounded about right.

Earlier, Ren Yanjing saying he would order milk tea for a whole semester had really shocked her.

Not that she felt sorry for his wallet—her own allowance was plenty now, and President Liu had been very generous to her. She could even chip in a little for Ren Yanjing.

But she thought ordering milk tea for a whole semester was just too flashy. It wasn’t right. After all, she hadn’t heard of anyone ever doing something like that before.

Besides, a week was enough for the whole school to know about their relationship.

111 chuckled,【Zhen, just the fact that Ren Yanjing ordered a large amount of milk tea for four days, even B University heard about it.】

The affiliated high school was very close to B University. If anything happened on one side, news would spread to the other in no time. The same worked the other way too.

Tang Zhen suddenly thought of the “Ren Yanjing Support Group.”

“111, are they discussing it again in the group?”

111 eagerly reported,【Yes! They have too much free time.】

The chat log in the support group was already over 999 messages.

【I didn’t hear that Ren Yanjing ordered milk tea for his classmates? He only ordered for Tang Zhen’s classmates, right?】

【Is this how Ren Yanjing shows he likes someone?】

【Tang Zhen’s classmates got four days of free milk tea…】

【Ren Yanjing shouldn’t play favorites! Aren’t his classmates also classmates?! Can’t he treat everyone equally?】

111 had been lurking in the group for a long time, but unfortunately, it never saw “One Pear” speak up, which was a bit disappointing.

In the afternoon, Ren Yanjing showed up in person, bringing desserts for Tang Zhen’s classmates.

Now everyone who should know, and even those who shouldn’t, knew exactly what Tang Zhen’s boyfriend looked like.

The moment Tang Zhen tasted the small cakes he bought, she received Mission 35—

【Hear Ren Yanjing call you a bad person directly.】

Tang Zhen: …

As she ate the cream, she speculated, “111, I guess this mission exists because Ren Yanjing hates bad women.”

111 sighed,【Zhen, probably yes.】

The less the male lead liked something, the more the missions revolved around it.

111 muttered and sorted through the plot,【On one side is the male lead, future team captain, a 7-member all-male team, developing a robot named Robert; on the other side is the female lead, fate team captain, a 7-member all-female team, developing a robot named Love Letter…】

【Both team names start with ‘F,’ and the robots’ names are three characters…】

So, the female lead’s aura was still making a last effort, trying to ensure that the male lead’s official match would still be the female lead.

Her last effort included making the supporting female character slightly bad and obnoxious, to contrast the female lead’s excellence and superiority.

It also included making the male lead see the supporting female character as a bad person, to highlight the female lead’s goodness.

The key point was just a contrast group.

There was half an hour left of lunch break—plenty of time to complete the mission.

Tang Zhen nibbled her small cake while observing Ren Yanjing sitting next to her.

He was looking at her textbook, reading the notes she had written.

Occasionally, he would pick up a pen and add his own study insights next to her writing.

Tang Zhen saw his handwriting beside hers, cramped onto that little sheet of paper.

111 squealed again,【How sweet is this?】

Even their handwriting—he had to stick his letters right next to hers!

To Tang Zhen, Ren Yanjing’s writing was beautiful, but more importantly, it was logical, making her studying much more efficient.

When would he ever call her a bad person?

Tang Zhen propped her chin with one hand and quietly called, “Ren Yanjing?”

He shifted his gaze from her textbook to her face, “Hmm?”

Tang Zhen brought up an old point again, “You said yesterday that I really am very bad.”

She had asked him if she was bad, and he had said she was indeed bad!

Ren Yanjing put down his pen, fully alert, “Hmm?”

Tang Zhen continued, propping her chin, “Then… in your heart, what am I?”

A bad woman?

Or something else?

Ren Yanjing exhaled and said earnestly, “You are my—Young Lady.”

The one who tormented him every few days, yet made him savor it like honey.
