TMLSG -Chapter 26 Don’t Be Angry

000’s face appeared serious. 【Xiao Zhen, you’ve reached the limit of tension with the male lead.】

【You had a little quarrel with him this afternoon. Now it’s time to repair your relationship. After a fight, you have to make up, and once you do, everything will be fine.】

While the two of them were talking, they arrived at the riverbank.

Tang Zhen got out of the car and immediately felt the weight of an extra coat on her shoulders.

It was Ren Yanjing’s.

The coat still carried his warmth.

The wind by the river was strong, so Tang Zhen didn’t refuse his kind gesture.

At this hour, the riverbank was as bright as day. A row of sparkling lights lined the shore, creating a spectacular view as far as the eye could see.

Tang Zhen rarely had the chance to be at the river at this hour, so she had no plans to complete any missions yet. Besides, this mission wasn’t particularly difficult for her, so she decided to put it aside for now.

000 didn’t push her either.

Tang Zhen and Ren Yanjing walked quietly along the river. Later, Ren Yanjing brought up hobbies and interests, which opened the floodgates of conversation. They talked about everything—from their interests to the future—and shared a lot.

Meanwhile, 000 was spying through the “Ren Yanjing Support Group.”

That photo secretly taken by Lu Yu had indeed been posted in the group by some busybody.

Even at this late hour, there were still hundreds of night owls active in the chat. One photo had completely stirred their excitement.

“Has Ren Yanjing seen this photo?”

“Why didn’t I see this post on the Media Arts Academy’s wall? Was it deleted?”

“It wouldn’t disappear so quickly without some trickery, right?”

“Who is this guy? Ren Yanjing’s girlfriend is living way too well. That guy even drives a big Rolls.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, now that this photo’s out, Ren Yanjing should break up with her, right?”

“Absolutely. Midnight, a man and a woman alone… I don’t believe they’re completely innocent.”

“Is Ren Yanjing single today? Soon!”

At this moment, 000 spoke through an alternate account.

It had recently changed its name to “Zhen-Yan CP: Are They Sweet Today?” “The man in the photo is her brother. Isn’t it clear in the comments below?”

As soon as this was posted, 000 was immediately attacked by the group.

“Who are you?”

“You’re a Ren Yanjing and his girlfriend CP fan? Sorry, you’re not welcome in this group.”

“Group owner, come deal with this!”

“Group owner, kick this person out immediately!”

The group owner hadn’t slept yet. Upon seeing the mention, she immediately tried to kick 000 out—but the system crashed and gave a “kick failed” error.

“Group owner: Backend crashed, can’t kick now. Wait until daytime.”

“Ah? No way… what a coincidence.”

“Garbage system, useless when needed.”

“Group owner, don’t forget to kick it out tomorrow.”

000 didn’t care at all.

Even if it were kicked out, it had ways to return. By changing its name again, no one would recognize it.

Recently, 000 had collected many sweet photos of Tang Zhen and Ren Yanjing interacting. They were stored in its crystal memory, and it often took them out to indulge in “candy” moments.

After all, these sweet moments would become rarer over time.

With the mindset of “infuriating haters for free,” 000 posted a photo in the group: Tang Zhen and Ren Yanjing holding hands, strolling by the river.

“Hehe. Today’s. Super sweet.”

After posting the photo, 000 vanished again.

It loved watching the Tang Zhen haters hate it yet remain powerless.

After strolling by the river for two hours, Tang Zhen and Ren Yanjing went to watch a movie.

After the movie, they enjoyed a sumptuous hotpot meal.

By the time they finished eating, it was already 6:30 in the morning.

At 6:30, Zhou Xusi woke up.

Tang Zhen received a message from him: “Why weren’t you at home last night?”

Tang Zhen replied, word by word, “Not really used to it.”

After a pause, Zhou Xusi finally said, “The more you stay, the more you’ll get used to it.”

Tang Zhen casually responded with a “hmm” and put away her phone.

Ren Yanjing, tall with long legs, immediately noticed the WeChat label: “Zhou Xusi.”

He put one hand in his pocket. “What did he say to you?”

Tang Zhen made an “oh” sound. “Nothing much, just asked why I didn’t sleep at home last night.”

“How did you reply?”

“I said I’m not very used to staying at home.”

Ren Yanjing frowned slightly. “You didn’t mention me to him, right?”

Of course not.

After all, their three-month “limited-time” relationship was meant to end on schedule. There was no reason to tell anyone.

And this wasn’t something she should tell the male lead anyway.

He was so excellent and proud; her instinct said she couldn’t tell him.

She thought for a moment and said tactfully, “I feel like we haven’t been together long enough. Let’s wait a bit.”

Ren Yanjing reluctantly accepted her explanation.

Still, the side of his face tensed slightly as he mentally made a note about Zhou Xusi. As her stepbrother, he was a bit too controlling.

By the time they drove to the Media Arts Academy, it was exactly 7:15 a.m., plenty of time for her to attend her 8:00 a.m. class.

Tang Zhen finally remembered Mission Twelve.

The entire night had passed, and she hadn’t done the mission yet!

Fortunately, it was a non-timed mission, and 000 hadn’t pushed her. She nearly forgot entirely. After all, it was worth one life point!

Mission Twelve was to act cute—something Tang Zhen found easy.

000 had said that just a small gesture could earn a “sweet date.” She had quarreled with the male lead yesterday; now, a little act of cuteness would ease their relationship, perfectly appropriate. They weren’t close to the breakup stage yet.

Thinking this, Tang Zhen slowed her pace as she was about to enter the school.

She turned around, grabbed Ren Yanjing’s right hand, and gently pressed it to her left cheek.

Tilting her head slightly, her pure smile lit up the morning mist like a lamp.

Her handsome cat wouldn’t realize how dangerously effective this pose was.

In that atmosphere, Ren Yanjing heard Tang Zhen’s voice, sweet and syrupy like candy: “Don’t be angry, okay?”

Under the morning sunlight, her eyes were bright and clear, slightly curved, lashes long, as if brushing against the center of his heart.

Her lips were red, voice sweet, smile warm.

Her eyes were full of him.

Only him.

Ren Yanjing’s heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.

The surroundings blurred into shadows; Tang Zhen was the only reality in his sight.

He pulled her close, sliding his right hand into her hair, and kissed her forehead.

“I’m not angry.”

At the same time…

Li Ran found the class sports representative to ask about sign-ups for the upcoming sports meet.

The B University sports meet was approaching. Last year, she hadn’t participated in any events, but this year, she clearly had a change of heart.

She planned to take initiative, to get a bit closer to Ren Yanjing—but it was obvious she wasn’t the only one with that idea.

As she stood next to the sports rep, she overheard a few people chatting nearby.

“Hey, do you know which events Ren Yanjing will sign up for this year?”

“No idea. Last year, he did the 1,500-meter and a team relay. Probably similar this year?”

Zhang Yan spoke: “No… I was hoping he’d sign up for swimming.”

“Me too. His physique looks great—if he joins swimming, it’ll be perfect.”

Zhang Yan continued, “Wait, I know the sports rep in AI Class One. Once I get the info, we’ll sign up for the same events as him!”

“Since you know the sports rep, why not ask them to convince him to sign up for one more swimming event?”

Zhang Yan said, “Okay, I’ll ask!”

“Good, we’ll wait for your update, babe!”
