TMLSG -Chapter 127 The Young Lady Shines

111: 【Ahhhhh!】

After “Baby” and “Wife,” Tang Zhen received a third title from Ren Yanjing—

【Young Lady】.

111 said excitedly,【Zhen, the male lead really wasn’t wrong this time.】

Previously, Tang Zhen had been Zhou Xusi’s stepsister.

Although the Zhou family was influential and Zhou Xusi himself was impressive, as a stepsister—and with Zhou Xusi having his own biological sister—Tang Zhen’s position in the Zhou household had always been awkward.

Every time she went there, she felt uneasy. Except for her mother, no one welcomed her.

Maybe Zhou Xusi did, but he was rarely home. Zhou Wan’s dislike of her was obvious.

The Zhou house couldn’t be called the supporting female’s real home—it was more like a temporary residence.

After Tang Zhen moved away, she rarely returned unless necessary, because that place never made her feel warmth.

But now things were different.

After the supporting female’s storyline ended, Tang Zhen had assumed a new identity.

Now she was the only daughter at home. Her mother, out of compensation, treated her very well. Her parents were loving, her family was healthy, and her life was happy…

She felt a warmth she had never experienced in the Zhou household.

111 cheerfully said,【Zhen, now you really are a young lady.】

Because of this new title, Tang Zhen let Ren Yanjing off the hook and didn’t continue with her mission.

Her heartbeat was a little fast now; she just wanted a moment of peace. Fortunately, class started soon and Ren Yanjing returned to B University, so her flushed cheeks gradually cooled down.

She opened the textbook Ren Yanjing had been looking at earlier and saw the notes he had left.

111 couldn’t help but comment,【The male lead is just way too serious.】

His annotations were simple and easy to understand, making it effortless even for a poor student like Tang Zhen.

Ren Yanjing’s mind was really sharp.

Tang Zhen quietly said, “111, lately I don’t even want to do Mission 35.”

Every time she did that mission, it reminded her of Ren Yanjing saying, “My Young Lady.”

His tone had a mix of helplessness and willing surrender.

111 sighed, unconcerned,【Zhen, if you don’t want to do it, then don’t.】

After school, Tang Zhen deliberately bought seven cups of milk tea and headed to B University to find Ren Yanjing.

He had already bought milk tea for her classmates for four days; she wanted to treat Zhang Mian and the others at least once too.

The moment she stepped onto the campus, 111 shouted loudly,【Zhen, the Second Male Lead actually came to this campus today!】

The Second Male Lead was also at B University, but he was a graduate student and usually stayed at the other campus.

The two campuses were far apart—one downtown, the other in the suburbs.

He only came occasionally to the campus where Li Ran studied, so even though Tang Zhen had been attending this campus for over four months, she had never seen the Second Male Lead before.

Tang Zhen, like a cat silently observing, looked around, “111, where is he?”

【To your front right, the one wearing the dull gray jacket.】

Tang Zhen looked for a while before spotting his back.

Just as 111 said, he was very inconspicuous—one of those people who would blend into a crowd and go unnoticed.

But the Second Male Lead’s character was plain, reserved, low-key, serious, and a little insecure.

Tang Zhen asked, “111, is he here to see Li Ran?”

111: 【Probably. His hometown is remote, and his family sent him some local specialties. He’s here to give some to Li Ran.】

No wonder he was carrying a bag.

Tang Zhen nodded.

She happened to see a sweet potato fall out of the bag, so she kindly reminded him, “Excuse me, your sweet potato fell.”

Song Zhiqing paused, then realized Tang Zhen was calling him.

He turned back, said thanks, and picked up the sweet potato.

Tang Zhen said “You’re welcome” and then lightly trotted off to the lab to find Ren Yanjing.

The milk tea Tang Zhen bought today caused a stir throughout the lab.

It was the first time everyone had tasted the milk tea she bought, and Shen Quanli was ecstatic, “Sis-in-law, I just happened to be thirsty! Thank you so much!”

Zhang Mian and the others also enthusiastically joined in.

Du Qiyou smiled with a hint of teasing, “The captain buys milk tea for my sister-in-law’s classmates, and my sister-in-law buys milk tea for us—man, we’re really lucky to be your friends.”

Occasionally getting free drinks, no one was left out.

It was also Ren Yanjing’s first time tasting the milk tea Tang Zhen had bought. Although he didn’t like overly sweet drinks, hers was just right. He casually took a photo and sent it to the family chat.

Previously, when he had a falling out with her, everyone in the chat had been worried.

Now that they had reconciled, the elders in the group were joking.

Second Grandpa: “Little Tang bought it?”

Third Aunt: “Of course! Otherwise, Yanjing wouldn’t be drinking something so sweet.”

Ren Yanyu: “Tsk tsk tsk, being back together makes all the difference.”

Ren Yanli: “Brother, tell sis-in-law, I want some too!”

Ren Yanjing: “Next time.”

Tang Zhen bent down to greet her old friend Robert, who gave her another boxing demonstration.

Robert was getting stronger and stronger!

Tang Zhen clapped to cheer him on.

As they left the lab that day, their group happened to run into the Fate team again.

But today, Fate wasn’t just seven people.

Among the group of girls, one boy in a dull gray jacket stood out.

He wore oversized black-framed sunglasses, his hair had grown slightly, and he carried that large woven bag.

Tang Zhen finally saw the Second Male Lead’s face.

He and Ren Yanjing were completely different types of people. That wasn’t to say the Second Male Lead was bad—he was also a very good person, just a different type from the male lead.

Once the Future group had walked away, Li Ran glanced at Song Zhiqing and suddenly asked, “She’s very pretty, right?”

Song Zhiqing paused, then nodded.

B University was really small—so small that people they had just run into in the afternoon could be met again.

Although Li Ran was used to his quiet nature, in that moment she suddenly lost the desire to chat.

Everyone who met Tang Zhen couldn’t say anything insincere.

Even the pickiest people couldn’t speak ill of her when they saw her.

She looked at the woven bag Song Zhiqing was carrying and said, “Let’s go.”

Song Zhiqing lifted the heavy bag filled with local specialties and silently followed, as usual.

Once they were out of Fate’s sight, Shen Quanli immediately asked, “Who was that just now?”

Zhang Mian shrugged.

“No idea.”

Du Qiyou guessed, “Could he be an external backup that Li Ran called in?”

Judging by his appearance, that boy was obviously a top student—the kind who only knew how to study. Not that there was anything wrong with bookish students, just that he looked a little stiff.

Ren Yanjing said calmly, “Whether he’s her backup or not, we have to win this time.”

“Got it!”

The day of the boxing match agreed upon by Future and Fate quickly arrived.

That morning, Tang Zhen was already waiting quietly at the gate of her home for Ren Yanjing.

When Ren Yanjing arrived in his sports car, he saw her standing at the villa gate, patiently waiting.

Pretty Cat shone no matter where she was.

Time seemed to rewind to their first date.

Back then, although he had arrived twenty minutes early, it had only been out of politeness.

Now, he only felt regret that he hadn’t left even earlier, so she wouldn’t have had to wait at the gate.
