TMLSG -Chapter 132 I Love Her

Robert immediately broke into a street dance. “Zhenzhen, thank you for worrying about me! I’m even stronger than before!”

Tang Zhen bent down and patted his metallic head softly. “Welcome back, Robert.”

While she was chatting and interacting with Robert, Shen Quanli walked over to Ren Yanjing and said, “Captain, I know who pranked me.”

Ren Yanjing asked calmly, “Who?”

“Lu Yu. But she had a classmate make the call—she didn’t do it herself.”

Hearing that name, Ren Yanjing wasn’t surprised.

No fools were present. Zhang Mian sighed, “Could it really be for her friend again?”

Shen Quanli snorted, “She’s really loyal to her friends.” Then, gossiping a little, he asked, “Captain, what are you going to do?”

Once, twice, three times—Lu Yu caused trouble almost every other day, annoying like a persistent fly.

Of course, Li Ran wasn’t much better.

Ren Yanjing said calmly, “I’ve already thought of a solution.”

Robert performed several street dance routines for Tang Zhen.

Talking about that boxing match, Robert said confidently, “Zhenzhen, don’t worry. Next time I’ll be even stronger!”

Tang Zhen clapped for him vigorously.

When they left the lab, Tang Zhen’s eyes shone. “Ren Yanjing, you fixed Robert so quickly!”

Ren Yanjing smiled. “Now you can relax.”

No need to worry so much.

Tang Zhen truly felt reassured. Pretending to ask casually, she said, “Ren Yanjing, what was your high school like?”

Ren Yanjing was a little surprised. “Baby, you’re curious about my high school?” He remembered he had only told Tang Zhen a little about it before—ordinary, nothing special.

She had seen his homeroom teacher, Mr. Lan, in his senior year, and the photos on the award board of him winning medals at sports events.

In fact, she had already experienced much of his high school life from a distance.

Tang Zhen nodded. “Yes.”

Ren Yanjing recalled, “Every day was pretty much the same.”

Looking back now, it felt like those days were on a conveyor belt—monotonous and unchanging, completely different from now.

After meeting Tang Zhen, every day became something to look forward to.

Tang Zhen continued, “Did you have many good friends back then?”

Ren Yanjing wrapped his arm around her waist. “Like Zhang Ziwang, Jiang Zhi, Dong Chao… you’ve met them all.”

Right.

His high school life was no longer a blank to her. She had already met several of his friends.

Tang Zhen gently guided, “Anyone else?”

Ren Yanjing said, “There’s one more you haven’t met. He guided me from afar when we built snowmen or fixed the air conditioner.”

“And?”

Ren Yanjing sensed something and looked down at Tang Zhen. “Baby, did you hear something?”

Tang Zhen answered honestly, “I did hear a little.”

She had learned it from 111. “One friend… we fell out. We haven’t been in contact for a long time.”

Ren Yanjing was so candid that Tang Zhen didn’t know whether she should continue asking. She finally asked, “Is it okay to talk about it?”

Ren Yanjing pulled her closer. “There’s nothing bad to say about it. We just had different values and conflicting ideas, and that’s why we fell out.”

Tang Zhen nodded and whispered, “Then he must have been a really terrible person.”

Ren Yanjing was surprised. “Baby, why would you say that?”

Tang Zhen replied matter-of-factly, “Because you’re such a good person. If he didn’t share your values, the problem must have been with him.”

Ren Yanjing hadn’t expected to hear that. He couldn’t help but gently pinch her chin and lean down to kiss her.

The reason he fell out with this friend wasn’t complicated.

Earlier, Shen Quanli had been pranked as a jerk—but this friend was actually a jerk. They had very different ways of thinking, and eventually, they just stopped contacting each other.

What moved him most was Tang Zhen’s trust in him and her recognition of his values.

111 already felt that this mission had no difficulty at all.

No matter the mission, the male lead cooperated. As long as Tang Zhen asked, he seemed willing to answer.

111 couldn’t resist saying, 【Zhen, next time you get a new mission, do you want to try having the male lead cooperate directly? You might complete it instantly.】

If it could really be done that quickly, she could rack up Life Points like crazy.

Tang Zhen: “???”

Could that really work?

111 said confidently, 【Zhen, I’m pretty sure it will!】

After dropping Tang Zhen off at home, Ren Yanjing called his cousin to ask about two people.

Ren Yanfou was no longer surprised. “Before, you wanted information on Zhou Xusi because he had bad intentions toward your sister-in-law. Now… another love rival?”

Ren Yanjing said, “…Not a love rival.”

Not a love rival?

Ren Yanfou lost interest.

After hearing the specifics, he said, “Alright, I’ll find out for you. I’ll have the information ready later.”

By eleven that night, Ren Yanjing received the information he wanted.

It contained detailed information about Li Ran’s parents: their workplaces, personalities, and the parent-child relationship with Li Ran… and so on.

The next morning, Ren Yanjing went to B University’s other campus to meet Li Ran’s mother.

Li Ran’s mother happened to be in her office. Ren Yanjing knocked and entered, quickly introducing himself: “Hello, Teacher Gu. I’m Ren Yanjing, a sophomore at B University.”

Teacher Gu responded, “Oh, come in. Sit down. Are you here because you want to work on a project with me in the future?”

“No,” Ren Yanjing said politely. “I’m here to talk to you about your daughter, Li Ran.”

“A-Ran?” Teacher Gu’s expression changed. She studied him carefully, her face serious. “What happened?”

Ren Yanjing explained the recent events as simply as possible: “Her friend spread rumors about my girlfriend, affecting her more than once. Furthermore, she personally approached my girlfriend twice, causing considerable trouble.”

He continued, “My girlfriend is pure and innocent. This friend repeatedly tried to make her break up with me, just to interfere in my life. I believe her actions have clearly crossed the line.”

Hearing this, Teacher Gu was incredulous. “You’re talking about my Li Ran?”

“Yes. Li Ran, sophomore in Electronic Engineering at B University. She has a friend you mentored, Song Zhiqing. The one who spread rumors about my girlfriend is currently studying Media Arts, named Lu Yu.”

It really was Li Ran. The fact that he could name Song Zhiqing and Lu Yu showed he was well-prepared.

Teacher Gu was furious but restrained herself from jumping to conclusions. “If what you say is true, I’ll make sure she apologizes properly to both you and your girlfriend!”

Ren Yanjing nodded slightly. “My girlfriend is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love her very much.”

With that, he stood and delivered the final words of the conversation for that day: “I hope Li Ran won’t disturb us again. Otherwise, next time, I won’t be so polite.”
