TMLSG -Chapter 130 You Bad Woman

Tang Zhen instinctively clutched her clothes with her right hand, stammering, “Ho…how…how could it have no meaning?”

Ren Yanjing’s expression was serious.

“Because…I only want to share it with you.”

Those moments of winning championships, those highlights of Robert defeating opponents—without her there, none of it would mean anything to him.

No one else could replace her.

Robotics was indeed his passion, and in the future, he would continue to dedicate himself to it.

But now he had something—or rather, someone—he loved even more.

There was no need to make a choice; the answer had been clear from the very beginning.

Tang Zhen continued, hesitantly, “Then…what about Robert?”

Ren Yanjing explained, “Robert’s data is all backed up.”

To him, whether the Robert recreated from the backup is the same as the original Robert didn’t really matter. Different people might have different answers, but for him, Robert was still Robert.

To him, and to the team members, Robert still held a special meaning. But when it came to comparing passion and true love, the answer was obvious.

Ren Yanjing continued, “Baby, actually yesterday’s loss was a good thing.”

It at least served as a warning to the Future team, making them more cautious.

Tang Zhen pursed her lips, “But Zhang Mian and the others…” They looked so sad.

“They’re down for many reasons.”

The human heart is complex. Their sadness wasn’t only because of Robert; it also included doubts about their own abilities, embarrassment at losing in front of their opponents, and the difficulty of accepting their first major mistake.

Ah…so that’s how it is…

Tang Zhen decided to throw a little tantrum and stop talking.

“I’m not saying anything anymore… I can’t argue with you anyway.”

With Ren Yanjing, Robert’s failure was always for other reasons—it had nothing to do with her.

Ren Yanjing lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against hers.

“Baby, I’m telling the truth.”

Then he took her hand and slowly walked toward the lab.

The evening breeze was gentle, and the person at her side even gentler.

Tang Zhen suddenly didn’t want to cling to the question of whether to break up anymore.

In a corner where no one noticed, ****progress shot from 45% all the way to 80%. The last time progress increased significantly was when Ren Yanjing and Tang Zhen reconciled. That time it went from 36% to 45%, far less than this jump.

Once they returned to the lab, Zhang Mian asked Ren Yanjing,

“Captain, what were you and sister-in-law talking about on the roadside?”

Ren Yanjing paused, a little surprised.

“You saw it?”

Zhang Mian explained, “No, someone behind you saw it and took a photo, then posted it in the school group chat. They even said you two were having a romance under the moon.”

Ren Yanjing pulled out his phone and looked.

Sure enough, the school group chat was full of comments like “moonlight romance.”

Some were guessing what they were saying because, from afar, it looked like a little couple having a playful quarrel.

But to be fair, the person who took the photo had chosen a great angle. Ren Yanjing downloaded and saved it without a second thought.

After saving it, he leaned close to Tang Zhen and asked, “Baby, what did you originally want to say?”

He had sensed that she had a lot she wanted to tell him.

Tang Zhen bit her lip. She had wanted to tell him that she would leave the decision of breaking up to him—whatever the result, she could accept it. Breaking up with her might even make his career smoother.

But this time, Ren Yanjing didn’t give her a chance to speak. He brushed her face and said softly, “You bad woman.”

With a single gesture, she could make his heart skip a beat.

Not only did he have to guess what she might say, but he also had to stop her from saying it.

Even though he called her a “bad woman,” his tone was still gentle.

Before Tang Zhen could react, 111 shouted loudly, 【Zhen, Mission 35 completed!】

Huh?

Mission 35…

Right, that mission was to hear the male lead call her a “bad woman” himself.

And just a few seconds ago, he had said it.

Mission completed—effortlessly, once again.

Over the weekend, Tang Zhen stayed in the lab with the Future team for two days.

After two days, the team’s moods had improved considerably. Shen Quanli even had the energy to joke around again.

Meanwhile, after realizing her best friend had lost the robot boxing match and hadn’t been happy for the past two days, Lu Yu came up with an idea. Recently, a prank game had become very popular online, and she recruited a classmate to try to drive a wedge between Ren Yanjing and Tang Zhen.

The female classmate Lu Yu contacted looked eager, “So…we’re calling Ren Yanjing, right?”

Lu Yu nodded, “Yes.”

The girl licked her lips nervously, “Then I’ll call him.”

“Okay.”

But when the call connected, the person on the other end was not Ren Yanjing at all.

The voice didn’t even sound like his.

This meant that the painstakingly obtained phone number Lu Yu had for Ren Yanjing was fake!

Lu Yu couldn’t help but curse inwardly. Ren Yanjing’s privacy measures were just too good.

Even asking for the phone number he was currently using was impossible—and even if you got it, it would be fake.

Lu Yu’s face turned pale; she hadn’t expected this outcome at all.

Haha, does his phone number come studded with diamonds or something?

The girl asked, “Then…what now? Still going to prank him?”

Lu Yu thought for a moment and decided to start with Shen Quanli.

Shen Quanli had the most social connections among his friends, so getting his number would be easy.

Sure enough, after asking for it, they quickly got through on the phone.

“Hello?” Shen Quanli answered.

The girl cleared her throat and said, “Hi, are you Shen Quanli?”

“Yes, I am. And you are?”

The girl glanced at Lu Yu, and encouraged by his nod, slowly said, “I’m your ex-girlfriend… and I’m pregnant.”

Shen Quanli: “???”

A few seconds later, laughter erupted from the other end.

Shen Quanli, laughing uncontrollably, said, “Sis, are you saying the child is mine?”

The girl replied, “Yes.”

The laughter on the other side grew even louder.

“Do you know what our Future team’s nickname is?”

The girl hadn’t expected Shen Quanli to have his own rhythm and not be led astray. Curiosity got the better of her: “What is it?”

“We’re called the Monk Team.” After saying that, Shen Quanli continued, “Four months ago, all seven members of our team were single. Now, only the captain isn’t single. So can you understand the meaning of ‘Monk Team’?”

“The meaning of Monk Team is…”

Then Shen Quanli launched into a long explanation about the team, recounting their years of singlehood and his own experiences as a single man. Once done, he switched topics smoothly.

Even after switching topics, he kept talking non-stop, treating the girl like a free audience.

The girl was completely stunned by Shen Quanli’s endless chatter. Eventually, Lu Yu couldn’t stand it anymore, snatched the phone, and hung up. Otherwise, who knows how much more nonsense Shen Quanli would have said.

After hanging up, the girl couldn’t help laughing. “This guy’s actually kind of fun.”

Fun?

Lu Yu felt a headache coming on. “So, is it you pranking him, or him pranking you?”

Originally, the plan was for the girl to prank Shen Quanli. In the end, it turned into Shen Quanli pranking the girl.

Is that how it’s supposed to go?

Meanwhile, after hanging up, Shen Quanli had a face full of lingering amusement.

“Someone actually tried to prank me,” he said. From the very start, he knew it was a joke.

Unfortunately, the caller hung up too quickly, or he could have chatted for a while. He hadn’t had such a fun conversation in a long time.

Zhang Mian casually asked, “They pranked you how?”

Shen Quanli shrugged. “They tried to prank me by saying I’m a scumbag.” He then recounted the contents of the call. After finishing, he looked at Ren Yanjing teasingly and asked, “Captain, if it were you, would you have fallen for it?”

Ren Yanjing: …

“No.”

He’s a naïve boy? What could trick him?
